Last time…
Kira opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was the gray ceiling with a broken light bulb. He tried to get up and he notice there was something in his right wrist. He shook his head for a few minutes and notice that he was in a small room, only a bed a door in front of him and a window, showing the endless space. He looked outside and it was Heliopolis…
"What's going on? Where am I?"
"I see you're awake."
Kira looked back and it was a young man, he can tell with his serious and yet cool eyes, and he has brown hair, only a slight bit darker than Kira. He was wearing a green sleeveless shirt and gray pants. He can tell he's not a soldier.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Heero Yue," he replied, "Kira Yamato."

Phase 3: Strike
"What do you want?" Kira asked, "And why am I here? Where are my friends? And how did you know my name?"
"Don't worry about your friends," Heero replied, "you'll be with them shortly and your reason here is to save you. If you were to stay there any longer, you would have been dead."
"Save me?"
"But for Ms. Darlian she would call it destiny."
But then the two were interrupted in an intercom from the room.
"Heero Yue, we have a problem!"
"What is it?" Heero called
"The Archangel and the Minerva are trapped in Heliopolis," the pilot said, "and it is requesting our aid."
"Damn," Heero growled, "at a time like this…"
"What's going on?" Kira asked
"It seems that your friends are in trouble," Heero said, "hey, you're a coordinator."
"How did you…?"
"Your bracelet," Heero pointed at the bracelet in his arm, "it turned green. That device tells us that if you are a coordinator, natural or an enhancer. And since you are a coordinator, you are the only one that could save your friends."
"Where are my friends?"
"We don't have enough room for everyone," he said, "so we sent them to our ship, but it has some problems…"
"What should I do?"
"Follow me."

Heero then lead Kira to a locker room and tells him to wear a pilot suit, consist of green and white, and he will wait for him outside. It took Kira a few minutes to wear it, and he found it quite uncomfortable as the two walks in the hall.
"Is this necessary?" Kira asked as he tries to loosen the collar
"You need to so you could pilot a mobile suit."
"What?"
"You're a coordinator," Heero replied, "So you would have no problems flying it. And also you might found this mobile suit quite familiar, since you did take a look at it."
Then when Heero once opened the door, Kira was shocked on the first thing he laid eyes on. It was the mobile suit that he was reading back at Heliopolis, GATX – 105 Strike Gundam. But there is something different about it, the color was gray instead of the one he saw in the message, he remember it having some blue, red and white color on it.
"The mobile suit…"
"I like to call it the Strike Gundam," he said, "you'll need it to get your friends to safety."
"Gundam…"
"What's wrong?"
"Are you saying that you want me to pilot that?" Kira asked
"How many times… No one in this ship can pilot that," Heero paused, "but promise this, protect those two ships. Not only that some of your friends are in there someone… important is in there…"
"I understand," Kira replied, "but who do you work for?"
"I don't work for anyone," Heero replied, "I'm doing this because I believe it is the only way to bring peace."
"And are you saying that violence will solve it?"
"There was a famous saying," Heero paused, "'Only the person that accept to use the power for righteousness will destiny side with you.'"
"I don't get it."
"You'll get it in time and time is running out kid," Heero replied, "oh by the way, your twin sister said hi."
"I don't have a sister."
You don't know how wrong you are…XXX
When Kira went in the cockpit of the mobile suit, he was surprised on how complex the system is and quickly fixed the program with ease. Then the screen opened and he saw Heero at the communication screen right beside him.
"Kira," Heero called, "are you ready?"
"Yeah…" he replied
"We'll be in Heliopolis in a couple of minutes, and by that time you better be ready."
"Right," Kira nodded, "alright then."
"Opening the gates!" Kira called from the P.A.
"Alright, lets do this Kira Yamato, Launching Strike!"
May fate let you live…Heero thought"Yah!" Kira's experience being launched was a rough experience. He was launched inside Heliopolis and tried to find the boosters so he could land safely, but he was too late and crashed to the ground, "that didn't went well…" but at least he manage to make it stand up. "Okay now… where am I supposed to go now?"
"Are you okay kid?" Heero asked as he appeared on the communication link right beside him
"Yeah…" Kira hold on to his head, "but I think is should try to fix the program first before I do anything."
"You better hurry up then," Heero replied, "because there is a mobile suit coming this way and it's coming in really quick."
"Where are the others?" Kira asked as he quickly type the computer
"You're about 3 km away south," Heero replied, "and you better hurry with that program… wait did you activate the phase-shift program yet?"
"How do you turn it on?"
"It's right beside you," Heero replied, "It's a blue button near the keyboard…"
"Found it," as soon as Kira pressed the button the Gundam start to show it's true colors and Kira notice that the interior start to show radars and list of arsenals that the mobile suit has, "what the? This only has 2 Armour Schneider and missiles cancellers?"
"The packs are still in development due to its twin to be more powerful," Heero explained, "but right now focus on protecting the ship, and whatever you do don't get it captured."
"Right…" Kira felt uneasy when Heero replied to him, "okay… you can do this… is not like there are more coming…"
But then he heard a huge explosion as he was about to finish and looked at the screen, it was a group of Moebius and they are shooting bullets at him, but it has no effect to the mobile suit. When he was done with the program and Kira then use his machine guns on the Gundams head to drive them off and start running towards his friends.
"No problems yet," Kira sighed, "I wonder where the Ginn went?"
But then Kira was then knocked out by a huge blast. He was able to stay up and looked behind him, it was the Ginn.
"This is bad…" Kira growled

Athrun then finally wakes up from a strange dream that he was knocked out by a bunch of thugs in gas mask. But then he realized its not. He tried to stretch his hands but his hands are tied. He tried to stand up but then he heard a conversation behind the curtains that is surrounding him and decides to stay down and listen to them before doing anything.
"I guess the gas is too potent," a voice said, "I told you not to make it too strong."
"They'll be fine," another one replied, "is not like I put poison in that stuff."
"Will you stop joking around for once," another voice replied, "we are in serious trouble here Duo. The Archangel and the Minerva is stuck due to the debris in the main gate."
"I know, I know Trowa," he replied, "but the real problem is that the Gundam cannot be pilot by anyone."
"They have to be chosen right?"
"It's part of the program glitch Quatre," the last one replied, "it's been like that ever since the Gundams are created by our grandparents."
"And no one has ever solved its mystery," Duo sighed, "as if these things have a mind of its own… Do you think it is possible that our grandparents created life in those machines?"
"I doubt that," Quatre replied, "if they have life, would they be walking among us by now?"
"At lease we found the pilot who is piloting the Strike, I heard that he was a citizen, about 16 years old right?"
"And I see that someone is awake," Trowa looked at Athrun, "and was listening to our conversation."
"So better wake up," Duo called, "Athrun Zala."
Athrun then stands up from his bed and opened the curtains…
"Who are you?" was the first thing that pop out in Athrun's mouth

"You will not pass!" Kira shouted
As the Strike dodges the attack of the Ginn from its rifle, he hides from a nearby building and takes out the Armor Schneider. As soon the Ginn destroyed the building the Strike jumped out and went in for the attack. Thinking only of his friend safety, he jumped in and disabled the shoulders, so the Ginn cant use any weapons and kicked him out just to be sure.
"That was cool," Kira sighed, "but no time to celebrate, I have to save my friends…"
