Chapter 2: The other side.

The day had finally come and both Heero and Relenna knew it, and so they where in the cokpit of the Wing Zero heading towards Alaska in neo-bird mode. "I hope we are doing the right thing Heero" said Relenna as she continued looking at the outside. "We wont know until we get there" answered Heero and with that the conversation was closed once again.

"We have to hold them off we can't afford to loose Headquarters" cried Murrue Ramius as the Arcahngel blazed with its guns at the many Mobile Suits which had come to wage war at the Josh-A facility, and knowing at the same time that it was a lost battle, for the enemy forces where too overwhelming and the defenders too disorganized.

"Enemy Mobile suits coming at us from 9 o'clock" stated Kuzzey Askirk as the enemy Mobile Suits closed in.

"Aim Gottfreidds and fire!!!" cried captain Ramius and the massive double high energy beam cannons began blazing with green fire that took all the enemies in the area, giving the desperate defenders a small time to breathe.

The shipped started rocking severely as several missiles which had gotten past the Iggelstellung defense net impacted on the hull, returning the crew to its desperate struggle once again.

"The time is almost upon us" said Heero Yuy as the sensors on the Wing Zero started sensing the energy in the are fluctuate.

"Yes… I just hope we are making the right decision" said Relenna from her position in the back of the Zeros cockpit, and all of a sudden the tear opened engulfing the mobile suit and its two passengers.

"They are the right ones" said a massive being who was looking at the Mobile Suit along with a companion.

"Yes, these will do, the blood shed has gone on for too long" cried the companion and then waved his hand and the Wing Zero disappeared.

"I expect them to succeed without too much disturbance to the events which are transpiring" said the first being.

"Do not worry the system on that machine will tell them all they need to know" said the second being and disappeared.

"Yes" said the first being and disappeared as well.

The air shinned for a few seconds and the Wing Zero soon appeared out of nowhere and into a battlefield.

"Where are we?" asked Relenna and looked at Heero who was checking the Mobile Suit with tried expertise.

"We are still in Alaska" and soon the Wing Zero was in the air moving fast towards the main front where the battle was heavier.

"We have to get through, engines to maximum!!" cried captain Ramius as the battle simply intensified all around them. There simply seemed to be no end to the enemies forces and all of a sudden a GINN mounted on a GUUL positioned itself in front of the bridge and aimed its gun.

But before it could fire a high energy beam shot from the skies and sliced the gun and from up a white and blue Mobile Suit shot at the GINN and in a flash sliced the head and an arm from the GINN.

Inside the bridge of the Archangel all of the crewmen where surprised that they where alive, and as they looked outside through the view screens the back of a white and blue Mobile Suit was seen and soon the speakers of the Archangel sprung to life "This is Kira Yamato I'll cover you, meanwhile please withdraw to safety".

And onboard the bridge all of the crewmembers where almost struck dumb by hearing the voice of their thought lost friend.

"Kira?" asked Miriallia Haww.

"Kira?" asked Sayy Argille.

"Kira?" asked captain Ramius.

And before they could react the newly arrived Freedom gundam started moving forward and in a few scant milliseconds it opened fire, and the sky looked like it had been light with dozens of light from the explosions left as the Freedom continued firing with all of its gun blazing.

"Please stop waisting time, please withdraw" said Kira through the comms link.

"Yes but…there's a Cyclops under the base, they planned this we had no idea" cried captain Ramius even as the Freedom kept on fighting, when suddenly a huge yellow beam shot out af nowhere and the sky was lit by a narrow artificial sun.

The battle seemed to have paused for just a second for the pilot of the Freedom at the sight of that huge beam which almost cut the sky in two, just as his comm. System came to life.

"Help the Archangel I'll back you up" said Heero Yuy, and from behind him an unknown Mobile Armour shot through at an almost blinding speed, but almost as soon as it had passed something changed infront of everyones eyes, for the unknown Mobile Armour changed from a fighter plne like look into the shape of a Mobile Suit, its blue, white, yellow and red armour shinned almost blindingly as the green jewel on its front shimmered as well and in a flash the unknown Mobile Suit aimed its massive gun at a group of incoming GINNs, DINNs and CGUEs.

Just like before the huge beam appeared and completely destroyed the approaching Mobile Suits just as if they where never there.

On the bridge of the Archangel the entire crew was dumb struck by the appearance of the second Mobile Suit, but that lasted little as the time quickly run out for them and soon the Bridge was bursting with activity.

Soon the intercom came to life "Attention all Zaft and Earth Alliance forces any moment now the Cyclops system will activate and the Alaska base will self destruct, both sides please stop fighting and withdraw from this area immediately", the message was repeated over and over again and the bridge was busy preparing for the worst.

Outside the Freedom was doing an incredible job of destroying pretty much everything, and the unknown Mobile Suit was backing the Freedom, in a manner that left all who watched incredibly impressed, for as the Freedom was destroying pretty much everything, the unknown Mobile Suit seemed to be covering every space left by the attack of the Freedom coordinating its attack with those of the Freedom almost as if it was just one pilot.

"I'm not falling for that" yelled Yzak Joule from the Duel and headed with all guns blazing against the Freedom. Soon both Mobile Suits where pitted against one another and where soon struck in a close combat fight with the Duel with one sword in hand clashed against the shield of the Freedom, and with the other hand sent a fist against the Freedom which was soon met with an open hand.

"I told you to stop, do you want to die!!!!" yelled Kira Yamato to the pilot of the Duel.

"What do you mean?" asked the pilot of the Duel and soon fired its railgun at the head of the Freedom which swiftly evaded it, only to be hit in the head and thrown back by the Duel.

The Freedom did a 180 in the air and swiftly but surely avoided the incoming sword attack thrown by the Duel, and immediately retaliated by unzipping its own sword.

"AARGH!!!" yelled Yzak Joule expecting is death just as he saw the sword form the Freedom come towards him, only to realize that he was still alive, for the Freedom had indeed struck the Duel, but only chopped its legs of.

"Forget about fighting and get the hell out of here" screamed Kira Yamato from behind the Duel and quickly attacked the Duel with his legs sendind the Duel falling into the sea, where it was rescued by a passing DINN.

"He..he din't, but why?" was all Yzak Joule could say after the encounter, and was soon heading out of the battle field.

"We must leave now the cyclops system will activate within the next few seconds" said Heero Yuy from inside the Wing zero, as he continued blasting Mobile Suit after Mobile Suit, always doing his job in a thorough and précis manner.

Just as the unknown pilot of the unknown Mobile Suit had predicted it the Cyclops sytem was activated almost immediately after he had finished, the energy of the Cyclops system was so great, that it could be seen even by the human eye, and within seconds it had destroyed or it was in the process of destroying everything within a 10 mile radius.

But almost as soon as the destruction had begun it had stopped, but only briefly, for almost immediately the great energy field was replaced by a huge explosion which covered the entire area.

After the final explosion all that was left was devastated land where the unfortunate remains of Mobile Suits and other assorted weaponry was all that remained, of the once proud base of Alaska. But amidst the wrecked remains of uncountable machines 3 Mobile Suits stood withness to the events of what had transpired today, and further away was the Archangel the great white ship, and the Skygrasper of commander Mu La Flaga.

Kira Yamato looked at the face of the pilot he had just saved "hu are you okay? Try to stay awake?"

"Where you the pilot of that Mobile Suit?" answered the pilot of the destroyed GINN which Kira Yamato had just saved.

"I was" answered Kira.

"It.. would…. Have been quicker urhghh, had you just let me die back there" said the pilot of the GINN shortly before he died.

"urghhhh" said Kira Yamato and punched the ground in frustration.

Back in the PLANTS Athrun Zala entered the main government building of ZAFT, and was confused by the commotion around him, just as he spotted and old acquaintance.

"Commander Yuki?" said Athrun Zala as he approached a middle aged mand with brown hair and normal complexion in a black outfit.

"Athrun Zala? What are you doing back here in the PLANTS?" asked the commander visibly perplexed.

"I'll tell you, but first tell me, what's going on?" asked back Athrun Zala.

"Operation Spit Break seems to have failed" said the commander in all seriousness and Athrun Zala was clearly thrown back "we don't have the all the details yet, but from initial reports its seems they were annihilated"

"You're kidding?" threw back Athrun Zala now even more worried than before.

"I'm afraid I have one more piece of bad news for you" said the commander and stopped for a small moment "somebody and we are not sure who yet stole one of our top secret Mobile Suits, one of the new ones we where developing, but it seems the person who gave him acces to it was Lacus Clyne" and immediately Athrun Zalas briefcase went crashing to the ground with Athruns beliefs just a few steps behind "the national defense comittee is in a state of uproar over this incident" finished commander Yuki.

But Athrun Zalas grief and misery were just starting "It's not… it can't be… I know Lacus, she wouldn't do this" and with that Athrun Zala was left alone and his doubts started to consume him.
