"What's happening?" Miriallia called while holding Tolle in his arms, "I don't like this Tolle…."
The alarm was set off after the group went out to their rooms and was following Trowa. But they don't have a choice in the matter since they have no clue where they are.
"It seems we have a problem," Trowa said calmly, "follow me."
"Where are we going this time?" Dearka called out
"Just follow me." Trowa didn't bother looking back
The three followed him to a black and spacious room. Then Trowa flicked a switch beside him and opened the lights. It revealed a mobile suit that shocked the three.
"GATX – 103. Also known as Gundam Buster." Trowa replied, "I heard you have good aim Dearka."
"Yeah," Dearka replied, "wait. You want me to pilot it?"
"You could on one condition…."

Kira and Athrun are at their Gundams and were on stand-by if the enemy were to attack them. So far, there has been no news for launch…
"Kira," Athrun called, "do you found that girl a least bit suspicious?"
"The short blonde girl that got mad at me?" Kira replied, "Sort of. Why?"
"Just wondering…" Athrun replied
"Why don't you ask her out?"
"I cant," Athrun sighed, "I have a fiancé…"
"Is she pretty?"
"She is, but not my type. My father arranged it."
"I see…."
"Strike! Aegis! Report to the launching pad and prepare for take off!" it was Miriallia's voice that called from the P.A.
"Mir?" Kira called back, "is that you?"
"Kira?" then Mir appeared from the communication screen, "It is you! I never thought you are the pilot of a mobile suit?"
"It's a long story," Kira replied, "What happened to you? Were you forced to become their communicator?"
"Pretty much," Miriallia shrugged, "it seems that their communicator is sick for some reason and Tolle is stuck with the guy that forced me to do this."
"Hey!" then Dearka called and appeared from the communication screen to Athrun and Kira, "never expect you guys to be in here?"
"You two Dearka?" Athrun smiled, "why are you here?"
"Well a guy named Trowa told me to take this baby for a ride and-."
"Whoa! What baby?"
"The Buster of course!" Dearka replied
"Gundam Buster?" Kira asked
"Yup! But then there's a catch."
"What is it?"
"I have to clean it up afterwards," said Dearka, "he said that I talk too much and I need to shut up."
"Strike, Aegis," Miriallia called, "all systems are green!"
"And I thought our punishment was bad," Kira and Athrun said in unison, "Strike/Aegis! Launch!"
"Very funny…" Dearka growled after the two Gundam launch
"Buster, you are good to go!"
"Thanks," Dearka called out "Buster! Heading out!"

Out in space, not far from the CN meteor base, there was an emergency escape pod floating in space. Only one was in there, barely escape from an attack from the earth alliance, due to that she is a coordinators.
"…." She paused as a pink robotic ball bounce towards her, "oh hi Mr. Pink!"
"Haro! Haro!" the robot replied, "Where are we going?"
"Dad thinks that it would be safe for me to hide," she muttered, "I'm not surprise, the council are influence to kill everyone."
"Haro?"
"Is nice for Athrun to build me this," she muttered, "but I never have the chance to say thank you."
"Haro! Haro! Haro!"

The Strike was flying around, slowly dodging the debris and meteor that was floating around. But then, it notices a pod that seems to be active. The Strike looked around to see if there are signs of traps and enemy mobile suits. Nothing so far, but just to be sure he armed his rifle and face the shield forward. The Gundam moves slowly and steadily and slowly grabs the pod.
"This is the Strike from the base," Kira contacted, "come in!"
"This is the base," he heard Miriallia's voice, "over."
"I found an escape pod," Kira called, "and it's still active, request returning with the pod."
It was about a minute later before he gets a response and saw Heero's face on the screen.
"Kira," he called, "can you tell me what the pod looks like?"
"I think this pod is a civilian," Kira replied, "a Silverwind class I think?"
"Request granted," Heero replied, "its look like our guest is a little late."
"Guest?"
Kira looked oddly at the pod that he was holding. He sighed heavily and moves back at the base.
"Aegis, Impulse, Buster," Kira called, "did you found anything?"
"Nope," Athrun replied, "nothing here."
"Same here," Shinn replied, "wait! Hold on."
"What is it?"
"I found something here," Shinn called, "it's a mobile suit. I think it was shut down recently."
"And I think I know what caused it," Dearka said angrily, "and I could use a little help here!"
Hearing the Buster's call, the Aegis and the Impulse went in for his aid and saw a Gamow class ship attacking the Buster, but he quickly dodges it and counter with its missiles. The ship nimbly dodges it and attacks with its cannon. But the rifle of the Impulse destroyed the cannon as it zoomed across the ship. Then the Buster start shooting with its other gun to take out the port and the other cannon and the Aegis then appeared from behind and take out the engine.
Please stop firing, Dearka thought, don't make me shoot you down!
"Shinn Asuka!" then a female voice called out from all the communication system, "what the hell do you think you are doing? Are you planning to get me and Rey killed?"
"L-Luna!" Shinn said in shock, "hold your fire! Hold your fire!"
"What's going on Shinn?" Athrun called to Shinn
"My bad," Shinn replied, "they are our allies…" Luna is so going to kill me...

Kira was on a hurry to bring the pod back to the base, so he could help the others, but then it was stopped when he heard that the problem was resolved. So he decides to stick around to see who was inside the pod. Then he saw the other Gundams coming in, along with a beaten up Gamow behind them, then left afterwards, except for the Aegis to re-supply, to check the surroundings.
Then when the gates closed and the gravity generator activated, Kira rushed outside of his mobile suit and let the specs repair it's minor damage. He then looked at the civilian pod that was surrounded by officers, raising their guns at it. Heero opened the door, not surprisingly ready to take out his gun in his pocket. Kira was walking by the pod and notice that the door opened. And to his shock, a robotic pink ball rolled out of the door and heads towards Kira's feet.
Curious, he picked it up and it keep on beeping and its ears keep on flapping like a newborn chick.
"Haro! Haro!" it called out
Confused he then let it jumped out of his hand and it rolls back to the pod. Then as soon as it goes in, exit a girl. She was beautiful, her deep blue eyes, pink hair that flutters like a cherry blossom petal, a sunshine smile, and it caught Kira by surprise.
"Welcome Ms. Clyne," Heero replied as he escorted her out of the cockpit, "sorry we unavailable at the time of your need."
"It's okay Heero," she replied, "and thank you for your hospitality."
"Ensign Yamato," Heero called out to pilot, "come here!"
"Y-yes?" Kira rushed in and stumbled on the way, "forgive me…." He tried to hold his blush
"Never mind that," Heero replied, "escort her to the control center."
"Yes," Kira replied, "follow me…." He was then out of words when he felt her hands in his
"I kinda get lost easily Mr. Yamato," Lacus giggled, "but I can let go if—?"
"No…" he replied quickly, "It's alright, and please call me Kira."
"Then the name is Lacus." Lacus followed, "Well this is a surprise."
Kira didn't know what Lacus was talking about until he looked forward and saw Athrun, who was also shocked. He guessed that these two know each other. He doesn't know how right he is.
"Athrun?" Lacus called out, "what are you doing here?"
"I was going to ask you the same thing," Athrun paused, "are you- why are you holding Kira's hand?"
The two quickly let go of their hands and looked away. Athrun glared at Kira.
"Were you about to make a move on my fiancée?"
Kira chocked, "what? She's your fiancée?"
"I guess you two know each-?" then she paused when they heard an explosion outside
