Kido Senshi Gundam SEED Judgement

Episode 3 - Saviour's Flight

Shinn flies out of the hole in the colony towards the Girty Lue dodging every shot. Neo notices Shinn drawing closer. The Chaos, Abyss, and Gaia fly towards the Girty Lue and the Gaia lands inside the ship. Stellar is curled up in the cockpit shuttering in fear.

"Hey Neo! What the hell is going on!"

"Sting, we've reached our limit. We must retreat for now."

Before they reach the ship, Shinn flies by in the Impulse and fires his beam rifle at them.

The Abyss turns around and fires back with the beam cannons in its shoulder's.

"Not this bastard again! Sting, let's take his head back with us!"

"Auel, pull back!"

"Shut up!"

The Impulse swipes at the Abyss with its beam saber but it is blocked by its beam lance. The Chaos flies by and fires at Shinn. Shinn breaks off and blocks the shot with his shield. Shinn looks down at the power meter in the cockpit and notices that it is low.

"Oh crap!"

The Heavy Strike's gunbarrels target the Impulse and fire at it in all directions. Shinn barely dodges each shot and tries to destroy them. The Impulse's phase shift runs out of power and deactivates. Suddenly, two huge beams shoot past the Abyss and Chaos. The Saviour Gundam and the ZAKU Phantom cover Shinn.

"Shinn, are you okay!"

"Athrun! Rey!"

"Idiot! You can't take on all of them at once!"

Rey jumps right in front of Shinn and blocks the shots from the gunbarrels. Shinn flies back towards the Minerva.

"Shinn, this type of enemy is different."

Rey has a newtype reaction to Neo's presence.

"What's this feeling?"

Rey easily dodges each of the gunbarrels and destroys two of them with his beam rifle. Neo is surprised by Rey's performance.

"You're quite skilled White Boy!"

Shinn reaches the Minerva and detaches the Force Silhouette.

"I was the one chosen to pilot the Impulse because of my skill! Minerva, activate the deuterium beam and send me the Blast Silhouette!"

A bright energy stream emits from the Minerva and hit's the Impulse on the crest on its head. The power meter moves back to full and the Blast Silhouette is launched. It attaches to the Impulse and it flies straight at the Heavy Strike.

"I won't let you start another foolish war!"

Shinn fires his cannons at the Heavy Strike. Neo turns away from Rey and starts firing at Shinn.

"Dammit! You're becoming very annoying new guy!"

Athrun fights off the Abyss and Chaos. The Chaos releases its weapon pods from its shoulder's and they fire at the Saviour. Athrun dodges the shots and is fired on by the Abyss.

"Dammit! These two are insane, just like those other three."

Athrun has a flashback of fighting the Raider, Forbidden and Calamity. Athrun goes into seed mode and fires at the two with his rail guns. The Saviour flies in close to the Abyss and slices apart its beam lance with its beam saber.

"What the hell! I'm going to kill this bastard!"

The Chaos tries to shoot the Saviour with its weapon pod again but Athrun turns around and destroys with his beam rifle.

"This guy is too much for us now! Let's go Auel!"

"I'll be back to kill you soon red guy!"

The Abyss and Chaos turn around and fly back towards the Girty Lue as the Minerva catches up to Athrun.

"Captain, where's Shinn?"

"He's going after the enemy ship by himself. We have to stop him before he gets himself killed!"

"Rey, stay with the Minerva."

The Girty Lue enters a debris zone and the Gundams split away and hide. Shinn flies by trying to find the Heavy Strike.

"Where the hell did that guy go!"

Shinn sees a flash behind a big chunk of debris and blasts it with his rail cannons. Shinn destroys the last gunbarrel and Neo pops up behind him with his beam saber drawn. Shinn quickly pulls out a beam javelin and blocks Neo's beam saber.

"I've had enough of you new guy! Why can't you just die!"

Neo breaks off and fires his beam rifle right at the Impulse's cockpit. Shinn falls backward and the beam goes right over his head.

"What, How did he dodge that!"

Shinn throws his beam javelin at the Heavy Strike and it barely dodges it. Suddenly a huge beam separates the Heavy Strike from the Impulse. The Saviour flies by and kicks the Heavy Strike away.

"Dammit this never ends! Sting, Auel!"

"Commander Lornoke, Sting and Auel have already returned to the ship."

"Alright, we have to retreat right away."

The Heavy Strike flies behind a big piece of debris. The Impulses fires its missiles at the Heavy Strike as it tries to hide in the debris. The missiles destroy many of the debris pieces and the Heavy Strike has disappeared.

"Where did he go?"

"Shinn, we have to return to the Minerva!"

"But we can't just let those bastards get away! Why do you always have to get in my way!"

The Heavy Strike flies back into the Girty Lue and the Mirage Colloid is activated. The Minerva enters the debris field and tries to find the Girty Lue.

"Captain, their signal has disappeared."

"What? Did Shinn and Athrun take them out?"

An image of Athrun appears on the bridge's monitor.

"Captain, we've lost their signal."

"So have we. Return to the ship immediately."

Shinn and Athrun return to the Minerva and Athrun slaps Shinn.

"What the hell was that for!"

"For being so idiotic! You could have been killed! You can't just rush into an unknown situation like that!"

"I'm a ZAFT redcoat pilot for a reason you know!"

"If you are an elite pilot than you should be able to act like one and make correct judgments about the situation."

Shinn looks away from Athrun with annoyance and walks away. Athrun goes back to his quarters where Cagalli is sitting on the bed waiting for him. As soon as she sees him Cagalli jumps up and hugs him.

"Athrun!"

"I'm sorry I worried you Cagalli."

"Will you take me to see the Captain? I need to contact the Archangel."

"Of course. She needs to know that you're here."

Cagalli and Athrun arrive on the bridge and they are surprised to see the Chairman.

"Princess, I mean Representative Atha, welcome to the Minerva."

Shinn lies on his bed staring at the ceiling. He reaches over and grabs a pink cellphone. Shinn starts to remember that day in Orb…..

Shinn, his parents and his sister run towards the coast where an evacuation ship awaits. His sister, Mayu, drops her cell phone while running. She begs her mother to let her retrieve it until Shinn jumps down the hill after it. A beam strikes the side of the hill and tosses Shinn into the air. Shinn gets up and sees that his parents and sister are all dead. Shinn falls to his knees and looks up to see the Freedom Gundam fly by. Tears fill Shinn's eyes and he lets out a deafening yell in grief.

….Shinn listens to a message left on his sister's phone.

"Mayu, I promise I won't let another war begin."
