Phase 8
The EA Impulse saw a red MS fleeing the battle. "Oh no, you're not getting away from me!" Matthew fired 3 shots from his beam rifle and that caught Sakura's attention.
That Impulse, could that be Luke? Sakura dodged and took out her beam saber and activated her Comm. "Luke, is that you?" The response that she got was a short laughter. "I can't believe that you fell for that trick, who are you!"
Sakura was shocked to hear that comment. Before she can react, Matthew whipped out his beam saber and almost sliced the Awaken. The two were engaged in a small, short sword fight but Sakura was hesitating a lot. "Please Luke stop this! I don't want to fight you!" Meanwhile Ryan and Faie came to help their comrade and Matthew came under heavy fire.
Leoni and Michael both saw Matthew in danger and rushed to the fray.
Michael unleashed all of his gunbarrels upon Ryan's Impulse and it evaded quickly to avoid the barrage of beams. Meanwhile Leoni used the Agony and used 1 Mjonir hammer to hit Sakura but it missed.
Matthew was watching as the Agony attacked the Awaken but all of the shots missed. He contacted the Agony.
"Leoni! What do you think you are doing? I want to deal with this Mobile suit myself!"
The female Extended nodded, turned away and dealt with Faie's Impulse gundam. They took out both beam sabers and attempted to slash at each other. Leoni grunted as Faie's Impulse rammed her with the shield. She unleashed her four DRAGOON pods that is attached to the wings and transformed into MA mode and circled around as the pods released the firefly missiles and bombarded Faie.
Michael smiled as one his gunbarrels take out his opponent's leg. Ryan shouted back, "YOU ARE JUST A PUNY MA, HOW CAN YOU BEAT ME!"
Meanwhile Sakura was dodging Matthew's beam shots while contacting him. "Why are you fighting Luke? Why?" The pilot of the captured suit replied, "I am not Luke, I only took his identity for infiltration and got this Impulse gundam as a gift." The Awaken gundam's pilot cannot believe her ears. Sakura turned around and flew towards Agony. "You are going down!"
Leoni stared at the coming MS, but she was unprepared for what is going to happen next. Sakura yelled out to the Agony. "I may not attack Luke, but I can get you! Now die!" Everything seemed to freeze for Leoni as her blockword was mentioned. She held her head and shivered uncontrollably. The Agony was just frozen as Sakura moved in for the kill.
"Damn you!" Michael used all of his gunbarrels and destroyed Sakura's right arm and left leg. Matthew came, rammed her with the shield and kicked her in the chest area which sent her flying towards her mother ship. The two Impulses retreated either because they were heavily damaged or they were fearing defeat. The Awaken gundam landed clumsily inside the hangar. The cockpit opened and Sakura just floated quickly to her room and cried. The other two Impulse pilots were furious to know that they were defeated by several Naturals. They vowed to destroy them the next time they meet.
The Impulse carried the Agony back with Leoni still shivering from the effects of the blockword. The captain got off his Exus unit and opened the Agony's cockpit and comforted Leoni that she won't die. As soon as she calmed down, she took a trip to her own room and took a nap.
The Hive is nearing ZAFT territory, but if it proceeded to that place, there is a chance of them intruding inside N-CORE territory as well so the captain and senior officers gathered together to discuss what they should do. The navigator used the computers to make a map for them.
"Okay guys, we are in L3 sector 4, we are in a serious disadvantage here because if we go through L4, ZAFT will surely pursue us, if we go through the new L6, N CORE might get involved. So our only solution is to go through a small part of L4 because there are EA ships there and a small ZAFT presence there so it'll be perfect."
The Extended are called back to their pods to prepare them for the next battle. The scientists are still trying to remove David from Leoni's memory but there is no success at all. The captain came back and forbidded them to erase their memories.
The EA ship proceeded to L4 and activated its Mirage colloid. Unknown to them, the Eternal was stationed there but it did not know the Hive's location or its specs. After the rendezvous with fellow EA forces, they prepared for atmosphere entry into Earth but ZAFT has finally found out about their whereabouts.
In Orb
Mayu Asuka adjusted the Prophecy's OS to better suit her needs. She landed on top of the Orb ship, Prophess and proceeded to her assigned quarters. She took out her new pink cellphone and dialled her friends about how they are doing. After she proceeded to the gun range where she is the only one practicing, Mayu took out her handgun and visualised that each target was Shinn's body. She fired with amazing accuracy, she took a timeout after she shot 25 targets.
