A/N: HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! This update has been rushed because I love you all so much Please forgive the massive delays, I have a bio assignment, and my internet is fucked. My thanks go to:

AngelWings2842 – Well, this is a war fic, so the boring factor should be gone this chapter, especially since most of my OC introductions are done. It might get even more confusing later on, as I've actually got quite a few ideas swimming around in my head. Hope you like this chapter!
Hyper Kirby – I'm actually thinking of making an AU humor fic using this plot, although it will probably get canned due to flames halfway through. Maybe I'll write some side-stories. Heeeere's Shuyin! Enjoy!
akksgurl – ThanksEnjoy!

Now Playing: Ultrabeat – Free like the Wind (PR), ZiGZaG – Pandemonium, OutPhase – Quasar, GFB Rotello – Berserker. Expect some intense action.

Chapter 2: Dawn

His name was Shuyin. Shuyin Mogi. His game was Blitzball. His DOB was 11/9/51. His star sign was Virgis. His IQ was approximately 80. His hair color was blonde. His eyes were light blue. His favorite kind of music was Eurobeat. His favorite song was dj.TAKA feat. Noria – Love2 Sugar. He was… hung over.

-Urban Residential District, A-West Sector Zanarkand-
Shuyin rolled out of bead clutching his head. A loud thump followed quickly, and a growl came from downstairs, resembling "I swear, if that kid cries…"
Shuyin looked up towards his dresser at his alarm clock. 10:29AM. Oh darn. Blitzball game at 11… Coach will be angry if I'm late, resounded through Shuyin's head as he made a mad, drunken dash toward the closet. He managed to open it by way of head-through-solid-wood, which didn't really affect his splitting headache. Said blonde quickly got changed, then ran for the front door, exiting the house as his alarm clock silently displayed 10:32AM. A few seconds later, a barrage of shoes hit the front door, but Shuyin was long gone. Jecht growled from the doorway, before returning to his seat.

-Meanwhile, Zanarkand Defense HQ, B-Central Sector Zanarkand-
An unconscious man lay almost naked in a janitor's closet, clothed in nothing but boxers and a tight coil of rope. Another man, decked out in a loose valet boy's uniform and a pair of Auron Brand™ sunglasses, looked around shiftily, before checking his watch and slinking toward the front door of the complex. 10:29. She's always too punctual, he thought, just as Lenne made her grand entrance, drifting her black Myrrhsaydis-Bentz Ess-Eee-Bee-Dee-7 straight across the red carpet and mounting its rear tires all the way up the steps, before exiting and stalking toward the front door with a flip of her hair. She was wearing an exquisite Winner Brand™ floor-length fur coat over a white uniform blouse and black uniform skirt.
The mysterious 'valet' smirked as she waltzed through the front doors, taking up an unusually stiff and militaristic position behind her as she shed her massive coat to toss toward him. He caught it and grinned widely before prancing out the front door as she was spouting something about having it dry-cleaned. He was gone and his black Mizata Arrh-Ex-9 squealed its way out of the parking lot before she turned around to see if the guy heard her. She silently fumed as she stalked into the conference room.

-Meanwhile, Heliopolis Exterior-
"The. Time. Is. Ten. Twenty. Nine," the automatic PA's voice said haltingly. The captain nodded to all the others sitting around the conference table, and then stood to address his carrier group. "We have one minute until effective deployment range!" the captain's voice echoed through all the PA's. "All units sound off to your flight commanders for equipment check!"
A myriad of "(color) (number) okay!" was heard from each and every ship, and slowly but surely, six "(color) team, all green!" messages blared into the commander's post. The captain nodded, as if they could see his approval, before looking toward the clock. 1029:59. 1030:00.
"ALL UNITS, MOVE OUT!" he shouted, before clouds of smoke were seen on the decks of various carriers. A dark blue patrol boat was deployed off the side of one carrier and stayed stationary. Three mobile suit transport planes took off one aircraft carrier and sped toward Zanarkand, and two Chinook helicopters took off another aircraft carrier and followed suit.

-Zanarkand Defense HQ, B-Central Sector Zanarkand-
Several cars made their ways into the parking lot, and slowly, out came the members of Life Judgment. All but Vincent. The confused-looking band members shrugged as one and entered through the front doors, striding into the conference room in full military regalia.

-Meanwhile, Urban Residential District, A-West Sector Zanarkand-
Shuyin raced down the streets at an inhumanly fast rate. His target: B-Central Zanarkand Blitzball Stadium at 11:00AM. His mode of transport: Foot. …Dumbass.

-Meanwhile, Heliopolis Exterior-
The carrier group advanced a little, and green lights flashed on across all weapons stations. "FIRE AT WILL!" the captain shouted, and hundreds of explosive cannon rounds were launched at Heliopolis.

-Heliopolis-
Kira and his small group of friends bum around their professor's office, said professor being stoned off his ass, leaving Kira and his friends wondering what the hell 'assignment' he had for the young Coordinator.
Suddenly, loud rumbles shook the complex, and the teenagers rushed out of the office to see what was going on. It was obvious. The wall over their heads was shaking and debris was falling, and they all dove for cover as it finally gave in and exploded, large chunks of debris flying everywhere. A few more cannon shells flew through the large hole in the colony, leveling a couple of buildings. Shortly after, more holes in the colony roof appeared, more buildings were destroyed, and air raid sirens started blaring. Kira's pupils became dilated, and he almost robotically droned to his comrades: "Air raid protocol zero-three states that we must enter third-stage bomb shelters. The nearest one is at the factory a few kilometers south of here." His friends stared wide-eyed, then nodded as one, and they all rushed off toward the factory.
Silence aside from the roaring flames and air raid sirens finally pervaded the colony, then the roaring of jet engines and helicopter blades resounded, the MS carriers arriving and dropping their mobile suits through the holes before leaving: 24 GINN mobile suits were deployed, and had their 90mm explosive-round machine guns drawn. Said mobile suits began wreaking utter havoc, destroying as much property as possible to reduce cover for the new enemy MS. The choppers entered through the colony roof and landed on a grassy area, deploying their 40 infantry troopers.

-Meanwhile, Zanarkand Defense HQ, B-Central Sector Zanarkand-
Vincent entered the parking lot in a bright pink Toy-ohtar Alltayza, drifting into a double-park before setting the handbrake and parking gears, then stepping out of the car and entering through the front doors, grinning and fingering something in his pocket. As he entered the conference room though, his smile faded instantly.

-Meanwhile, Commercial District, A-Central Sector Zanarkand-
Shuyin smiled inwardly as he saw the sign 'Welcome to A-Central', and he glanced at his watch. 10:40AM. I'm making good time, he thought to himself.

-Heliopolis-
The emergency military troops sure took their sweet time to deploy; the large screen in the hospital already showed 4,000 dead. Tanks, missile batteries, jets and helicopters began pouring out of the meager military bases around the colony, in a vain attempt to defend the colony… Or at least, buy some time for Project Arc Angel to be completed…
The GINNs spotted their new targets and began their assault. The steel of the tank armor and the titanium of the aircraft armor stood absolutely no chance against the GINNs' rapid-fire explosive rounds, but they far outnumbered the GINNs, allowing some of the units to slip past and blow away a couple of mobile suits with their combined firepower.
The Zanarkanadians' numbers were slowly dwindling, and to make matters worse, they still hadn't found their target. A couple of GINNs deployed high-intensity flashbangs and fell back to the infantry position to try and identify their targets.
The battle between MS and MA was still raging on, some Natural Alliance's Mobius MA's had appeared, further confirming the Newtypes' suspicions: The Al Bhed had formed an alliance with the Naturals. The Mobius' Linear Cannons had plenty of power in them, but the GINNs were simply too fast for their non-homing shots, and buildings were leveled as a result.
The Alliance forces finally organized themselves and began targeting one GINN at a time. While it increased the rate of Newtype loss, it also made the Alliance more vulnerable, as they were all focusing on one target only. The pilot of the purple mobile suit they were targeting, however, seemed inhumanly skilled. He ducked, weaved and flew through the maelstrom of firepower, which went on to rip more holes in the colony.

-Meanwhile, Zanarkand Defense HQ, B-Central Sector Zanarkand-
"You're late," Lenne growled menacingly, as Vincent stepped inside the conference room silently. "Don't give me that!" she continued, standing up and crawling along the table, then launching herself onto Vincent, grabbing his collar and slamming him up against the wall. He still looked nonchalant as he stared straight into Lenne's glare.

-Meanwhile, City Center, B-Central Sector Zanarkand-
Shuyin sprinted down the streets, fatigue still not evident in his tanned body. As he approached the stadium, it looked totally packed. He rushed toward the entrance doors as his watch ticked to 10:50.

-Heliopolis-
The missile battery crews were fast catching up to the Newtypes' plans, and coordinated themselves to fire their full payloads simultaneously. And that they did, as approximately 4000 missiles were launched in what looked like a solid wall of firepower at the purple GINN.
The warning signals in the cockpit were going off like crazy, and sensors exploded all over the GINN's body, some of the monitors inside the cockpit also exploding due to the overload. The pilot slammed the Jettison Damaged button, then nailed the thrusters and did his damned best to evade the missiles. That, he did, as the heat-seeking missiles weaved toward him for a split second, then back down to target the freshly-exploded parts. The resulting explosion was tremendous, and it blew a hole in the colony…FLOOR!
5 infantry units saw the explosion and quickly mounted into the shoulders of one regular grey GINN, which sped down toward the hole, para-dropping its troopers into the abyss.
There, they landed on a suspended walkway in what seemed to be the port. They snuck along the walkway, into the control center, where they quietly knifed the CO. One soldier took over the controls and began the process to open the bay doors, whilst the other four took up positions along the walkway and began shooting down the workers. The bay door opened, and shortly after, the blue patrol boat sped in, large cannon rounds exploding in the water in its wake. It dropped off an additional 15 infantry, all with heavily-loaded backpacks, before taking cover behind a dry-docked ship. Large cannon rounds flew into port, totaling some walkways and damaging some ships, making the Newtypes' job that much easier. The infantry went berserk, starting to plant explosives all over the ships and walls.
Above the dock, the battle was starting to wear thin, both sides having taken massive losses, only 8 or so GINNs still standing, 5 of which were actually participating in the fight. Most of the Alliance troops had taken cover amongst the rubble of the city, the remaining brave souls quickly being extinguished in the heat of the battle.

End Chapter 2

A/N: I'd say that was probably my best piece of action writing so far…Doesn't say too much about me now, does it? Anyway, yeah, I'm REAAAAAALLY sorry about the screwed-up time frame, but I'd be too much like Fukada if I dedicated a whole chapter to a nameless MS battle, and it'd be too boring if I spent the whole chapter going on about goings-on in the character's lives. RR please!
