Hello there again guys and I have returned once more with Chapter 5 of "Megas 00". With the debut of Gundam Megas, the tables have turned and Celestial Being strikes back, while the Earth Coalition Drones came out of the time portal with an incapacitated Kiva and got under attack by A-Laws forces before fleeing to the source of the beacon which is Megas itself.

My responses to these Guest reviews that I can't normally reply on PM:

Guest: Whoa, I didn't realize that Gundam Megas and the Psycho Gundam are similar except their alternate mode of transformation respectively and I checked that you are right. And that Celestial Being!Louise and Four Murasame are both pilots of gigantic Gundam-Type mobile suits. However, the main difference is that this Louise never got the unstable Innovade enhancements like her canon self did courtesy of Ribbons Almark.

Interesting: Yup, the sudden appearance of Gundam Megas would definitely shake things up a lot for the upcoming battle to destroy the Memento Mori guarded by the A-Laws. And it's true that Ribbons might have other contingencies in mind to counter Celestial Being's so-called secret weapon alongside the 00 Raiser too as well. Also, don't worry, I have planned out for the meeting between Kiva and Celestial Being.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam 00 and Megas XLR and their characters. They belong to their respective owners, Sunrise and Jody Schaeffer and George Krstic.

Enjoy and don't forget to review. :)


Chapter 5

Back at the Battle of Lagrange 3

In the midst of a raging battle, the 00 Gundam was struggling to keep up with GNZ-005 Garazzo flailing around dangerously like a crazy berserker as the latter unleashed several slashes at it with the GN Beam Claws. Setsuna F. Seiei barely managed to parry and deflect Bring Stabity's assault with his Twin Drive mobile suit's GN Swords before being kicked hard by the absolutely livid Innovade into a nearby asteroid, causing a huge crater on it.

Bring used Char Kick on Setsuna and it is Super Effective.

"Gaaaahh!", Setsuna cried out in pain as he felt the impact and thought with frustration. I need to get back to the Ptolemy! If only I have the 0 Raiser!

"DIE, 00!", Bring screamed as he prepared the final blow with his Garazzo's two Beam Claws raised up to deliver a devastating slash that will cut the Twin Drive Gundam in twain.

Suddenly, the Garazzo is struck in the back by several small pink GN beams but it did no serious damage at all. Yet it was enough to distract Bring and allow Setsuna to retaliate. The 00 Gundam threw a powerful punch at the Garazzo hard in the face, damaging the head's camera and disorienting the enemy pilot briefly before grabbing the machine and judo flipping it away into the same asteroid and flying away from his opponent. The Krugis young man saw a friendly signal on his E-Sensor and it identified it to be the 0 Raiser.

Finally!, he thought with relief before making way towards the incoming 0 Raiser.

Shaking his head after being tossed into the asteroid and adjusting his machine's camera, Bring also noticed a newcomer on his E-Sensor and saw the 00 Gundam is flying towards it, immediately deducing that the fighter must be important. "Oh no, you don't!", he shouted and gave pursuit, using the Garazzo's GN Vulcans at the tip of each forearm at his fleeing opponent and another new machine brought out by Celestial Being.

Within the cockpit of the GNR-010 0 Raiser, Feldt Grace felt both relief and fear. Relief that she managed to save Setsuna from being killed by the A-Laws new model and fear that she got the enemy's attention towards her which it did and was firing at the machine she's piloting with Blue Haro's help. One wrong maneuver and the 0 Raiser will be shot down along with her, dooming Setsuna and everyone else in Celestial Being. The pink haired girl tried to calm herself down but her heart kept racing and she can feel the adrenaline pumping through her body.

Stay calm, Feldt! Stay calm! You got this! You can do it! Just hold on!, she tried to motivate herself as the orange GN beam blast passed close by her cockpit, which is a close call for comfort to be honest.

Then Feldt received communication signal from the 00 Gundam and received it to see Setsuna's face on the visual screen in front of her. His face has the expression of shock and worry for her. "Feldt?! What are you doing in the 0 Raiser?!", he said as he was expecting Ian Vashti since the last time he saw him, the chief engineer of Celestial Being was working his finishing touches with the new machine prior to the attack by A-Laws.

Thank you Setsuna! Feeling her heart rate decreasing and relief as the 0 Raiser and 00 Gundam get closer, the pink haired woman hastily explained with a slight blush. "Ian sent me! He told me to bring it to you!"

Setsuna accepted it before stating with a smile, "I see. It was a good shot there by the way."

"Thanks.", Feldt said with her blush slightly redder at such face.

Unfortunately, there was no time for further chit-chat as the two pilots notice an angry Bring Stabity closing on them with his Garazzo, which Setsuna promptly called out to Feldt with a tone that there is no room for hesitation. "We're going to dock! Now!"

Feldt nodded in agreement with him before ordering the blue robot ball at the terminal of the 0 Raiser's cockpit, "Roger that! Haro, do it!"

"Roger! Roger! 0 Raiser, docking mode! 0 Raiser, docking mode!", Blue Haro happily declared.

The daughter of the late Marlene Vlady and Ruido Resonance felt the 0 Raiser halting before it transformed itself before attaching with the 00 Gundam's Twin GN Drives at the back. While the former pilot of Exia can sense the new level of power flowing and growing through his mobile suit once the docking mode is complete, completing it.

The GN-0000+GNR-010 00 Raiser.

"Docking complete!", Feldt declared with Blue Haro enthusiastically flapping its ears.

I can do this... No, we can do this!, Setsuna smiled. "Good job, Feldt! Now hold on, it might get rough!"

Feldt Grace braced herself when the 00 Raiser rushed forward which she can feel the G-Forces pushing on her, forcing her back into the seat. Literally riding backwards in that case. Feldt grunted in pain as Setsuna pushed the newly-combined Gundam to its limit and she barely noticing the system fully integrating as the 00 Raiser's speed further increased. Just let Setsuna do all the work now! He knows what to do!, she gritted her teeth and prepared for whatever insane maneuvers Setsuna is about to pull off.

"That won't help you, human!", Bring Stabity yelled as his Garazzo opened fire at the Twin Drive Gundam with his GN Vulcan forearms.

"00 Raiser! Preparing to eliminate the target!", Setsuna declared as he easily dodged his enemy's orange GN beam barrage with graceful maneuvers, increased the speed of his mobile suit and charged at the enemy who brandished the GN Beam Claws on both hands and is about to slash at him.

With a swift strike in a blink of an eye, the 00 Raiser Gundam sliced off the Garazzo's left arm which the decapitated limb exploded as a result. Bring is surprised and did not see it coming but he remained undeterred and gave pursuit of his opponent who is maneuvering through the asteroids. However, Setsuna expected the so-called Innovator to follow him and the latter did, which he then flew through the side of the larger asteroid where its gravity will shoot his Gundam faster around it.

It allowed the 00 Raiser to quickly catch up behind the Garazzo, further increasing speed and momentum.

"I'll destroy them! We will destroy them!", Setsuna F. Seiei yelled as he closed in on the Innovade's mobile suit and brandished the GN Sword II to attack.

"What the?!", Bring Stabity shouted with a face of incredulity and inability to comprehend his enemy's new speed. Before his eyes glowed and he heard a telepathic call from his esteemed leader Ribbons Almark that is strict and direct via their Quantum Brainwaves, Escape and withdraw immediately.

Yes sir!, he obeyed.

Setsuna finished, "AND WE WILL DO IT WITH OUR OWN WILL!"

With one powerful slash, the 00 Raiser easily broke through the GNZ-005 Garazzo's attempt to block it with its remaining arm that has the GN Beam Claw and sliced through it like a hot knife through butter, destroying the opposing mobile suit. Unfortunately for Setsuna, Bring managed to escape alive through the Core Fighter of his mobile suit and fled from the battlefield. The redhead member of the Innovators group gritted his teeth with shame and anger that he had been bested by a human and that he brought shame to Ribbons Almark.

Setsuna watched the Core Fighter leaving as fast as it can but decided to ignore it as the Garazzo is neutralized and unable to fight anymore before traveling at full speed back to the Ptolemy 2, which he saw it in the middle of a large battle with the A-Laws ships and mobile suits. "What's the situation with the Ptolemy?", he spoke to Feldt with urgency.

Feldt replied calmly as if she was the combat controller of Ptolemy 2 again as she checked through the visuals of the battlefield, "Enemy forces are surrounding the ship but they are unable to get through the Ptolemy's GN Field. Tieria and Lyle are holding them off for now but there is something that was able to pierce through the GN Field and caused damage to Hanger 3. I don't think the ship can take another hit like that."

"Allelujah has yet to return from escorting the Lagrange 3 base's personnel and staff to Krung Thep.", she finished.

"I see. But what about the Gundam-Type machine that appeared out of nowhere? It showed up and attacked the A-Laws.", the pilot of the 00 Raiser asked while mentally adding. Not to mention that loud screaming which sounded very familiar...

Her eyes widened with recognition and surprise as Feldt brought up the visual of the gigantic mobile suit with a Gundam's head easily decimating the forces of the Federation's despicably corrupt peacekeeping organization in its path. "That's Gundam Megas! Aunt Chall finally ordered Louise to sortie out with it from the Krung Thep and help us!", she said with a smile.

"Gundam Megas! Gundam Megas!", Blue Haro chirped with a happy cheer, knowing that its fellow adorable ball robot, the Red Haro is with Louise.

Who's Aunt Chall and what's the meaning of Megas? I will ask her later when this is over., Setsuna thought as he was shocked to hear not only Celestial Being had apparently created another new Gundam during the four years of rebuilding itself back to full strength but also that its pilot happened to be the girlfriend of his friend and next door apartment neighbor Saji Crossroad.

"Louise? As in Louise Halevy?! She's a Gundam Meister of Celestial Being?!", he said with a look of surprise, almost jaw-dropping.

I remember Saji told me that he hadn't heard from Louise after she apparently stopped replying to him with the last message telling him to keep his head down and stay out of trouble long before I ran into him at Space Colony Proud., the Meister of 00 Raiser thought as he realized with worry and concern. Oh no, the reunion is going to be very awkward when Saji and Louise meet each other once the battle is over.

"Yeah, it's a long story, Setsuna. I will explain after we deal with A-Laws.", Feldt stated while she thought with an uncomfortable feeling dawning on her. Now that Louise showed up as Megas' pilot, Saji is gonna freak out when he finds out and meet her in person when the battle is over! He may have gotten over his misplaced hate on us but he's going to get the wrong idea!

Ever since Saji Crossroad became the Ptolemy 2's guest under their protection after being framed by the A-Laws as a wanted criminal at Space Colony Proud, he used to be passive aggressive towards the crew and being a pain in the ass with his black and white perspective, refusing to accept his situation that was out of his control. He also blamed Celestial Being for the murder of his older sister Kinue Crossroad and the attack on the Halevy family that took the lives of Louise's parents and relatives and also her arm and her body affected by the GN Tau Particles.

Originally, Feldt and Milenia intended to inform Saji about Louise who is at Krung Thep and was slowly recovering from the particle poisoning.

But Tieria stopped them, stating that Saji would take it the wrong way and immediately assume Celestial Being is holding her hostage to keep him compliant with them from his mental gymnastics, further intensifying his bias against them. The purple haired man even added that even if Saji found out through browsing Celestial Being's computers with Blue Haro who was assigned to keep an eye on him and be his new companion, the same result will still happen.

Ian and Lasse supported him which the girls had made a compromise with the adults to tell Saji about Louise once he calms down and think clearly. Which somewhat happened after Saji unintentionally led the A-Laws to the hidden desert Katharon base Rub' al Khali which killed many members inside in an attempt to get his name cleared and return to normal civilian life.

He deeply regretted his reckless action with great remorse after Tieria called him out on his idiocy and selfishness, wanting to atone for his mistakes and grew out of his prejudice toward Celestial Being.

They were supposed to tell Saji at Lagrange 3 during the resupply run but the surprise attack by A-Laws interrupted that unfortunately.

She vowed as she gripped the 0 Raiser's controls, I'm going to make sure your reunion won't end up badly, Louise.

Setting aside the issue with the revelation about the new Gundam and its pilot and her reunion with Saji, Setsuna called out a warning to Feldt, "I'm activating the Trans-Am!"

Feldt nodded in response and braced herself for the speed boost that will further increase 3x faster than before as she saw her display turn red that signals the activation of the Trans-Am System.

But neither of the pilots noticed that when the 00 Raiser Gundam turns red under Trans-Am, two rings of light formed from the Twin Drives and it then rushed towards the raging battlefield as quickly as it can.

Suddenly, Setsuna and Feldt found themselves floating in multi-colored space with glittering particles of light and they are naked as the day they are born. The Krugis young man realized it but was too confused to react about it at this point. He looked around to meet Feldt's eyes and apparently, they do not feel a sense of shame of being naked.

"Setsuna? What's going on?...", the pink haired young woman asked with a tone of confusion and worry.

One thing that Setsuna felt from her was that of longing and affection when she said his name. And that she likes him.

"I don't know either... But I think we're safe.", he replied honestly, trying to reassure her.

Feldt looked at him and beyond the surface, sensed something strange. It was almost compared to that of a cloudy day with the Sun wanting to peek through and shining brightly but it couldn't. She does not know what it meant after feeling that from Setsuna.

The two heard the various voices speaking around them in the multi-colored space which some are familiar and others not so much.

I failed you Ribbons... I couldn't avenge Revive... I'm supposed to be an Innovator!

This can't be happening! The Gundam-Type smashed through all my plans!

Damn you Gundam... You killed Captain Zinin!

COLONEEEEEEELLLL!

Acknowledged, colonel. Pursue the gigantic machines affiliated with Celestial Being and destroy them!

However, one of the voices felt like as if she's related to one of them for some reason.

Megas... Setsuna... Stop... the... Glorft...

It confused the two pilots of the 00 Raiser as they wonder who the unknown woman is, why does she know Setsuna's name or how Gundam Megas is connected with her, and what is the meaning of Glorft.

Questions for later.

And then the voice of Louise Halevy pulled them back to reality.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Setsuna and Feldt winced together from the blonde woman's battle scream as they are back on their respective cockpits of the 00 Gundam and 0 Raiser with their pilot suits and helmets back on. "Owwww! Did Louise really have to shout out that loud?", he gritted his teeth while trying to keep his focus on piloting the Twin Drive Gundam through the asteroids and reach Ptolemy and their fellow Gundams.

"Ugh yeah, Louise got that from her uncle Coop, Setsuna. She developed a habit of using it on combat simulations during her training at Krung Thep.", Feldt said as she tried to shake off the ringing on her head. Dammit Louise! No need to be that loud!

Who is Coop? Is he another survivor of the Halevy family attack by Nena Trinity?, Setsuna thought before filing that away for later. "You can tell me later. We have to save everyone and the ship!", he said.

"Roger!", Feldt nodded as she focused her full attention on the E-Sensor for enemy mobile suits nearby the advancing 00 Raiser in its Trans-Am mode.

There the 00 Raiser started taking down several A-Laws' GN-XIIIs and Aheads in its red-colored path, catching them off guard in the middle of attacking Celestial Being's Gundams and Ptolemy 2 and routed them with ease as a result. Its intervention allowed Cherudim, that was about to ambushed on both sides by two more enemies, to punch Patrick Colasour's machine in the face and send it flying away, defeated and humiliated.

"COLONEEEEEEELLLL!", Patrick screamed as his headless GN-XIII helplessly drifted into space.


Meanwhile at the bridge of the Baikal-class command ship

"This can't be happening! The Gundam-Type smashed through all my plans!"

Colonel Kati Mannequin frustratingly gripped her fists on the sides of her main armchair of the bridge of her A-Laws flagship. She was half-tempted to take off her helmet of her spacesuit and pull out her hair strands before screaming out loud at how it is so utterly unfair if it weren't for her excellent control of her emotions and retain her poker face befitting her epithet, "The Iron Lady" during her time at the AEU and later the Earth Sphere Federation.

Very few individuals made her lose her cool such as that annoying but somewhat endearing buffoon, Lieutenant Patrick Colasour who has his own dorky charm and confidence despite being the butt of jokes regarding his "The Immortal" title thrown at him. She had specifically warned the Frenchman not to join A-Laws and yet he did so willingly anyway, all to fight for her and show his devotion to her.

Then there's the annoying German son of a bitch, Major Aber Rindt who dared bring up the infamous friendly fire incident between her and Leesa Kujo, who's now her enemy, during their time at the AEU and rub it on her face about it when she called him out for use of Automatons to indiscriminately wipe out members of Katharon at their base in Rub' al Khali.

And now, the giant Gundam' insufferable female pilot is officially on her shit list.

Despite her belief that the giant Gundam-Type machine would be the same like the Alvatore and her implementing her tactics to bring it down in coordination with her forces, it had easily destroyed many GN-XIIIs and Aheads like an equivalent of an adult tossing around toddlers. Not to mention, she saw the gigantic mobile suit grabbed one of the Baikal-class cruiser it tackled on, easily lifting the spaceship with both hands. Then the Gundam-Type giant spun around with it until letting it go to crash and explode on the giant asteroid.

The said cruiser didn't get completely destroyed but it suffered heavy damage and casualties among its crew.

The gigantic Gundam-Type pilot did all that while screaming. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

What an utterly ear-aching war cry of that woman heard across the bridge of her Baikal-class flagship!

This is outright total annihilation! Celestial Being really did salvage Alvatore and remade into a giant mobile suit! Who the hell is the psychopathic woman they have recruited to pilot that monster as if it's like a video game to her!?, the glasses wearing tactical forecaster gritted her teeth as her fellow A-Laws officers panicked at the sheer carnage and destruction brought about by the new Gundam.

Such a great drop of morale within her ranks all because of Celestial Being's new machine.

Ensign Vincent informed his superior officer with hope and relief in his panicking eyes, "Colonel Mannequin! Reinforcements have arrived! Captain Descartes Shaman and his task force are here!"

She received visual only to frown when she saw two Baikal-class cruisers and one Laohu-class cruiser where there are supposed to five of them in the group. While the mobile suit forces' numbers not as many as before. And apparently they were pursuing three gigantic mobile suits that used high-speed rocket thrusters like Katharon instead of GN Drives and one of them was carrying an immobile female-shaped machine in a bridal carry hold.

Don't tell me Celestial Being unleashed more of those monsters?!, she thought with annoyance, however she noticing something off from the visual of the new enemies. ... But that mobile suit in its arms, why is it not moving like the rest? Did something happen to that pilot?

Opening communication with the leader of the group supposed to back them up, she called. "This is Colonel Kati Mannequin. Explain yourself, Captain Shaman!"

"Colonel Mannequin, we were on our way to reinforce you and your troops but we've encountered new machines revealed to be affiliated with Celestial Being and they are like the Gundam-Type identified as Megas. We engaged them in battle before they can meet up with the enemy. Unfortunately, we have suffered some losses as you can see.", the white haired A-Laws captain explained with a wince upon noting the damage the non-GN powered giant mechs have caused before retaliating and forcing them on the run.

It doesn't take a genius to know that the newcomers were responsible of Shaman's recent losses. Megas huh? So that's the name of the Gundam-Type machine Celestial Being had created..., she learned.

"Some losses huh?", Colonel Kati dryly snarked with an unimpressed glare before sternly ordered. "In that case, take them out and regroup with me when you're done with them!"

Nodding, Captain Shaman then ordered, "Acknowledged, colonel. Pursue the gigantic machines affiliated with Celestial Being and destroy them!"

His A-Laws troops obeyed their leader, "Roger!"

Closing off her communication channel with the A-Laws captain, the former associate of Sumeragi Lee Noriega continue to observe the raging battlefield where many soldiers under her command died in blazing and unceremonious deaths at the hands of Celestial Being. Damn you Kujo! I bet you were laughing at my face after unleashing that monster of a Gundam and render all of my plans useless!, she bitterly believed.


At the Ptolemy 2 in the middle of combat

"Achoo!"

Sumeragi cutely sneezed for some reason and took out her helmet to clear away the spittle clouding the glass with her spacesuit's gloves before putting it back on. It happened right after she and Ptolemy crew noticed the 00 Raiser entering the battlefield. "I really should check in at the medical bay when this is over.", she muttered while lamenting about the loss of a valued friend and doctor four years ago. I miss Dr. Joyce...

Mileina Vashti asked, "Are you alright Captain Sumeragi?"

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me.", the formerly alcoholic woman reassured.

Marie Parfacy detected new signals from the E-Sensor in front of her and announced, "Captain, we have incoming! The A-Laws have reinforcements en route to our location!"

"That's just great!", Lasse Aeon snarked with annoyance as he kept firing the barrages of GN Cannons and Missiles from the Ptolemy 2 as much as he can at the enemy in every direction.

"There's no end to them!", Anew Returner nodded in agreement as she focused to keep the mothership under control while trying to shake off that lingering headache.

Deciding to contact the Gundam Megas' pilot, Sumeragi opened a communication channel. "This is Captain Sumeragi Lee Noriega of Ptolemy 2. Identify yourself, Megas' Meister."

Her call got a response with the visual reveal of a young woman in a yellow pilot suit with Red Haro on the cockpit's terminal. "This is Sayla Mass, Gundam Meister of Megas, Captain Sumeragi! What are your orders?", she asked.

"Intercept the A-Laws reinforcements heading our way and eliminate them.", Sumeragi ordered as she sent out the coordinates and location to her.

"Roger that!", Sayla complied with an affirmative nod.

Meanwhile, Saji Crossroad entered the bridge of the Ptolemy 2 as he panted. "I'm back! Mr. Ian is hurt from the attack but I brought him to the medical bay so I-", he spoke but words died on his mouth when he saw a familiar-looking woman as she was checking the display of her cockpit on the visual before cutting off contact. No, it can't be... Louise?, the Japanese-American thought with eyes widening in shock.

"Mr. Crossroad, you're back. Are you alright?", Marie Parfacy noted of the space engineer's presence.

Briefly snapping out, Saji gave a weak smile. "Yeah, I'm fine. I better take a seat."

The female Super Soldier nodded before returning back to survey the ongoing battle as a temporary combat controller. While Saji took his seat in the bridge as he used the computer system to give him visual of the gigantic-sized Gundam transform into a fighter mode almost like a Flag and fly at high speed. It doesn't make any sense! What is going on here?! Why is Louise piloting a Gundam?! How long has she been a member of Celestial Being?!, he thought, trying to comprehend.

Once the battle is over, Saji hoped there is an explanation about everything regarding his girlfriend.


Back at the Battle of Lagrange 3

After receiving orders from Captain Sumeragi, Louise Halevy under codename of Sayla Mass piloted Gundam Megas in its fighter form at full speed to intercept and take down the A-Laws reinforcements. Upon getting closer to her destination, the female Meister saw three white and blue-colored gigantic mobile suits flying towards her in her visual. Are those enemy reinforcements? They kinda look like the GN-Xs used by the UN Forces four years ago. But they look enormous! They're as big as Megas!, she thought with a look of surprise.

Then she noticed that the GN-X looking machines have no GN Tau Drives, just high speed rocket thrusters on their backs. Just like the mobile suits of Katharon that were heavily modified and upgraded to give GN-powered mechs a run for their money. Was A-Laws trying to even the odds by creating those 3 yet didn't add fake solar reactors for some reason?, she thought but noticed the GN-XIIIs and Aheads were opening fire on them and landing blows upon their metal forms.

One of the three giant mechs was protecting an immobilized slender mobile suit with blue energy shield that is soon to give out under orange GN beam attacks.

"Help, Celestial Being! Help, Celestial Being! M.E.G.A.S.! M.E.G.A.S.!", they cried out for salvation with their cute childlike voices and their red cute-looking eyes glowing as if they're blinking.

They know about Celestial Being and Gundam Megas? And their voice, they sounded like... Haros?!, Sayla thought with shock but it is clear to her that they are definitely not with A-Laws. And so she took action and had Red Haro prepare the GN Large Beam Cannon that has finally cooled down and ready to fire again.

Shouting as loud as she can, hoping that the mechanical giants can hear her and not get hit by her attack in the crossfire. "GET OUT OF MY WAY!", the Meister of Megas yelled as she pulled the trigger and unleashed a massive blue particle blast from her giant mobile suit's main weapon.

To Sayla's relief, the three massive mechs really did heard her and swiftly flew down as low as they can with their rocket thrusters on full throttle, dodging the blast immediately. On the other hand, Captain Descartes Shaman widened his eyes and shouted to his forces as he moved his Ahead Ogre out of the way from it as fast as he can, "SCATTER! SCATTER!"

Several pilots of the Aheads and GN-XIIIs followed his lead and escaped the Gundam Megas' GN Large Beam Cannon's attack with their lives. But the rest who didn't dodge on time weren't very lucky and perished as the blue particle blast vaporized them all to oblivion.

One of the two remaining Baikal-class ships and the last Laohu cruiser have been destroyed along with its crew and personnel.

Captain Shaman and his surviving A-Laws troops can only gape with horror upon looking at the result of Gundam Megas' most powerful attack with only scraps of burnt metal remain. "So this is the power of the Megas the three were talking about...", the white haired man muttered as he tried his best to not wet himself in terror. Oh God, it's definitely like the Alvatore my friends in the UN Forces told me four years ago... but I didn't believe them until now... How the hell can we defeat Celestial Being with that monster on their side?!

Then he received an emergency notification which he took a look and smiled with relief. "Withdrawal orders? Thank you, colonel! A-Laws! We. Are. Leaving!"

"ROGER!", everyone is more than happy to comply as Captain Descartes Shaman and his remaining forces went about face and flew away as fast as they can. The last Baikal-class ships followed suit and fled too as well.

Witnessing the A-Laws hastily retreating away from Lagrange 3, Louise sighed with relief and let go of the controls of Gundam Megas as she opened the visor of her Meister suit's helmet to breathe. The adrenaline from her body was going away while she steadied her heart rate. Thank God, it's over. There's no going back after I've done this..., she thought as she knew what she had signed up for in Celestial Being and when she fired the first shot upon A-Laws. But Saji, will he forgive me if he found out?...

"Thank you! Thank you! We're saved! We're saved!", the three giant robots said together as they approached her mobile suit.

Red Haro looked surprised and confused as it rolled around the cockpit's terminal. "Familiar voices! Familiar voices!"

That snapped Louise out from her thoughts and look up to see the ones she saved face-to-face. "Um, you're welcome. Who are you guys really?"

Then the three GN-X looking gigantic mobile suits' heads open up together with a hiss of smoke and sound in front of Louise. To her shock and bafflement, three small adorable balls of green, pink and yellow revealed themselves to be the pilots within the central terminal of the heads as they flap their wings with their eyes beeping.

"HARO! HARO! HARO! HARO! HARO! HARO! HARO! HARO! HARO! HARO!"

Meanwhile, Kiva within the deactivated CMDR-KA stirred with her eyes looking like they're in a trance and slowly muttered the words repeatedly as her mantra. "Megas... Setsuna... Stop... the... Glorft..."


Back to the Ptolemy 2

"Enemy mobile suits and ships have begun falling back!"

Marie Parfacy announced to Sumeragi and the rest of the Ptolemy crew upon seeing visual of A-Laws retreating, which brought huge relief that the battle is over and the enemy have been driven away from Lagrange 3. Her alter ego Soma Peries agreed with her but reminded herself to ask Anew about her Quantum Brainwaves when they have the time.

"Ptolemy, cease firing! Gundams, assume defensive positions!", the tactical forecaster of Celestial Being quickly ordered.

"Roger.", Tieria Erde complied as he and Lyle Dylandy are on a look out in case if the retreat by A-Laws turned out to be a ruse all along.

Anew Returner commented with look of amazement and worry, "Wow, I never imagined the 00 Raiser and Megas had made A-Laws run away after taking out their new models and their numbers."

"We are pretty much unstoppable at this point!", Lasse Aeon smirked with amusement as he stopped firing the GN Cannons and Missiles. It made him feel de ja vu and some catharsis that the enemy now know how they felt during the Operation Fallen Angels.

It's not like he is tempting fate or anything.

"Don't relax just yet! Our main objective is still the destruction of the satellite weapon!", Sumeragi reminded them before turning to the daughter of Ian and Linda Vashti. "Mileina, I realize you must be worried about your parents but I need you to use the Karels and Haros to repair Ptolemy and the Gundams. Including the Megas as well."

"Roger that, ma'am.", Mileina complied as she prepared to leave the bridge albeit in a somber manner.

Then the Ptolemy crew received a communication call from Allelujah Haptism. "This is Arios. I escorted all of the transports to a safe distance at Krung Thep! And Mileina, your mom's okay too.", he informed them.

It brightened up the young girl's spirit before she left the ship's bridge to start up the repairing session. Saji Crossroad quietly left his seat and joined her, giving the impression to the captain and her comrades that he is going to help out in Ian's place. Which he is and he wanted answers from Louise once they meet face-to-face in Ptolemy 2.

Sumeragi smiled before contemplating her thoughts on the recent revelation and development she had witnessed. 00 Raiser and Megas... Who would have imagined such incredible abilities of the two mobile suits? Still I hope we get answers when we meet Sayla Mass after she returned to Ptolemy...

Allelujah then called out, "Miss Sumeragi, Commander Chall wants to talk to you. You should receive her incoming transmission right about now."

Confused of who the person is but decided to comply, the captain of Ptolemy 2 opened the communications channel which she and the rest of the crew can see the visual of a middle-aged woman with light silver hair in a ponytailed bun with and glasses. She is also dressed in a female Celestial Being uniform colored dark and blue, and looked the part of a serious-looking professional woman who is in charge of a large organization.

"This is Chall Acustica, Commander of Celestial Being as a whole. I believe that you deserved your questions to be answered."


Author's Note: Alright then, Chapter 5 of "Megas 00" is done and I hope you like it. Feldt piloted the 0 Raiser and docked with Setsuna's 00 Gundam, forming the 00 Raiser and defeating Bring Stabity who fled from the battlefield in shame, while Louise does what a respectable Cooplowski does best, smashing through anything in her way with Gundam Megas.

On the other hand, the cat's out of the bag when Saji Crossroad saw Louise Halevy and oh boy, the reunion really gonna be awkward when the Ptolemy crew regroup and meet up with the newest Gundam Meister at the end of the battle. Especially with Louise bringing new guests in the form of Future Haros controlling the Earth Coalition Drones and Kiva who will be sent to medical bay for healing once they're at Ptolemy 2.

As for the moment where 00 Raiser quantizing under Trans-Am, it will come later at the upcoming battle at Memento Mori which will definitely go differently from the canon. There's no way A-Laws and Ribbons would not increase their strength in numbers and stronger mobile suit types after the appearance of 00 Raiser and Gundam Megas.

Credit goes to fnlrpa whom I borrowed some elements of the "In Another Time, Another World" in this chapter and check out his stories for they are good read. Especially his latest story, "Old Family, New Memories."

Enjoy and don't forget to review. :)
