Last Time on AE Gundam: Rei seems to be able to come to terms. And the ANT Base support ship, Raiden, make its debut. Fortunately, the suit comes just in time to aid the Artely.

Launch

The only Rahamut left from the failed attack retreat to report to the NT Moon Headquarters. Its pilot Specialist Amada Michael, landed to carried Theodore to the base.

"Ensign, where are you going," he asked as Theodore. His mobile suit was on walk mode, and Theodore started to walk slower, failing to answer.

"Ensign?"

"Amada, shoot me."

"But, Ensign I don't want…"

"Kill me now, I'm not fit as a spacenoid," said Theodore, He had stopped walking now.

"But I'm a spacenoid too. Why do that?"

"It is because you're a spacenoid you must," Theodore was a man who thought a spacenoid was a perfect creature, and failure is not supposed to be tolerated.

"You're making a mistake captain. That's what an Earthnoid would do. We should be the only human beings that can't kill each other. That's one thing that makes us so different."

Theodore lets out a tear and willingly went into the Rahamuts hand.

Thank You.

At the Moon Base's side of the forest, the three Duex Auel was trying to retrieve Kei's unit. However, Kei was refusing for personal reasons.

"Stay away from me or I'll shoot. I don't need anybody covering my failures," Kei raised his rifle at the Duex Auel. The lead unit had no choice but to launch its electro-wire from its wrist. It hit the Artely's chest, sent volts through its body and knocking out its pilot.

The lead unit proceeded to carry Kei's unit into the base, the other Duex Auel following it.

Gene, Cris and Zlow watched the bringing in of the unit from the hangar stand.

"So what are they gonna do to him," said Gene

"Are they gonna go easy on him," said Cris

Zlow started to walk away ", that's the captain's decision. I sure as hell won't go easy on him!"

Gene and Cris looked as Kei came down from the Artely's horizontal position.

Flow and Ho was on the scene. Gene and Cris couldn't hear anything. They saw, however, Ho backhand slapping Kei and Flow pointing at Kei and poking him at the forehead constantly. Then she sent him off, most likely the brig.

Are all guys who go to war this tense, wondered Cris.

PART B

"CAPTAIN SHIROI, WE HAVE BEEN ASKED TO RELAY A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM THE RAIDEN," said the lead pilot of the Duex Auel team.

"Go on," asked Shiroi

The other pilot spoke ",yes captain. You have been requested to go take the ship to the ANT relay base. We peaked on resources and recent mission have been a success. You should be able to reach the satellite relay base at 05:00 hours tomorrow."

Shiroi hesitated since the Dias Team wasn't thought to be in good condition.

"Don't worry the mechs are around 87 percent," whispered Ho.

Shiroi gave out a nod ",mission accepted."

"You have our full support!"

At about 22:00 hours, Gene was up practicing on the simulator against Rei. Cris was asleep in the quarters.

During the simulation Gene fought against Rei in the Dias. He was losing while Rei would always beat him the same way.

The first time, Rei said ", don't fight head on, or the enemy will flank you!"

The second time was ", foolish tricks won't work if you don't know where the enemy is!"

After that he simply gave up trying to talk. They got out at 24:00 only to hear an announcement courtesy of Shiroi Bryant.

ATTNETION ALL MEMBERS OF ANT MOON BASE. THE SHIP WILL TAKE OFF IN AN HOUR. ALL PILOTS AND MECHANICS ARE TO STAND BY ALONG WITH THE D-TEAM AS OF THIS MOMENT. EVERYONE ELSE: WORKERS, OTHER REGULAR PILOTS, AND ETC. ARE TO REPORT TO THEIR QUARTERS. PILOTS PLEASE AAWAIT FURTHER ORDERS.

"Good luck, and take care of Rola, will ya," said Gene.

"You bet," Rei answered.

Rei, Zlow, and Rola all reported to their units.

The fleet commander radioed in on the units including the Duex Auels.

"We're 30 minutes to takeoff. I want Rola and Rei's unit flanking the rear. And I want Zlow, and the D.A team to advance in the front in the bow and arrow position starting now.

ROGER

"D.A TEAM GOING," and their mechs flew up the elevator shaft and flew forward.

"Alright guy the we're heading straight for the Moon exit I'm sure Rei and Rola will handle their selves well. So clear out as many enemies as you can," stated the leader Zlow.

ROGER.

The headed up and forward to the airlock. As expected the raised an alarm to create confusion. They broke through the lock with missiles, and patched it up with balloons.

The head D.A pilot launched smoke grenade for good measure. Part one was now clear.

They flew south of the Moon moons surface to the ship dock, fighting Taurus along the way. Zlow used suppression fire from his 100mm smg for his mech while the D.A team used its Bazooka attack to destroyed three mechs at a time.

Meanwhile, Shiroi gave them an extra twenty minutes before launcing.

Shiroi radioed Ho, whose team was working on the ships engine.

"Is the Ship ready"

"Yes!"

Alright we're going. Navigator set the course to the ships deck.

"Okay"

"ALRIGHT START THE SHIP!"

A Huge earth earthquake automatically started. The Moon Base rose from the ground with a defining roar. It flew toward the ship port with Rei and Rola flanking it.

"We must protect this ship," said Rei as he fired his beam rifle toward enemies.

By the time the ship reached the port a heavy battle has already started.

The first major engagement of in the Moon starts and survival isn't surtain. Some may not survive. As a result the finished Gundam appears.
