Battle of Grimaldi Front

by darkjacen

This tackles the story of the battle of Grimaldi Front. While the Gundam Seed timeline does mention it, I thought it best to try to give the dates leading to June of the Cosmic Era a little more flesh. This piece features the Elite Moebius Zero Corps.

8. Chapter 7

CHAPTER SEVEN: ENDING WILL

June 2, Cosmic Era 70

Endymion Crater

Colonel Keyes cursed as the white CGUE evaded the blast from his remaining gun barrels. As if they were in perfect synchronization, the CGUE continued to escape the attack patterns he set up. Mwu La Flaga was holding his own against the GINNs facing him. Ed rolled his Zero again in an attempt to confuse his opponent.

"There's no way I'll be defeated here!" He shouted on a wide frequency aimed at the stark white mobile suit. Bringing his gun barrels back in control, he fired round after round of linear gunfire and micro-missiles at his opponent.

Nearby, Major Flaga 's zero flashed past the wreckage of the one of the GINNs facing him. Recalling his gun barrels with a thought he then opened up with everything he had at the remaining four mobile suits. Two of the mobile weapons exploded in the aftermath of his onslaught. Deep inside Mwu felt a pang of regret and sadness, it seemed that they were the only two that were far enough from the radius of the CYLOPS' effect. No one else remained. He let his frustration swell out of him and released all his wired barrels. Concentrating his fire and maneuvering furiously, he managed to knock out the remaining two mobile suits. Angling his zero towards the battle Colonel Keyes was facing, he pushed his mobile armor's thrusters to full and sped towards that direction.

Edward Keyes wasn't doing so well against this pilot. It seemed like his opponent could read his every move. He only had two gun barrels in working condition and it seemed like he was going to lose. He checked his radar display and saw that Mwu's zero was making its way towards him. Now's not the time to lose hope. If I fail to take him out, hopefully Mwu will be able to.

He brought his weapons to bear one last time at the CGUE. He fired continuously at the mobile suit, but it merely evaded and returned fire destroying the wired barrels. Left with no other alternative, he brought his zero into a ramming position. He ignited his verniers "Go to hell whoever you are."

Rau smiled as the blue mobile armor sped towards him. Quickly changing from gun to heavy sword, he side stepped the mad headlong rush and slashed downwards. Cutting the mobile armor in half. "I am Rau Le Crueset, die won't you?" the last thoughts of Edward Keyes were that of mad, raucous laughter.
