Prologue: The Rise and Fall

C.E. 70, February 14

All around them brilliant shades of red, brown and yellow engulfed them. Their machines were shook violently from the after shock of what they just unleashed. Three Moebius mobile armors were being shook aggressively by the deadly explosion that wiped out all the ZAFT and most if not all of the EA forces as well. The machines were floating away from the now dying explosion and surprisingly were still together as a squad was to be, though the ships were battered.

"Oh dear god…..help us." One of the mobile armor pilots spat out between gasps from the shock of the blast and what had just occurred.

"I don't think god is going to help us…" The squad female, the only female, remarked.

"Will you all just shut up! It was a mistake! Some kind of malfunction!" The squad leader said as he sat staring wide eyed at the debris that floated around them. He gripped the main control stick of his battered machine as he tried to regain his composure. He had to for the sake of his squadron.

"What do you mean mistake! What mistake? We did what they told us to do! We followed the mssion prefectly! There was no mistake!" The youngest man spoke quickly as panic began to fill him.

"Axle if you don't shut the your damn mouth, I'll shoot you down!" He commanded firmly, he was not in the mood to deal with a baby, though he found himself shaking involuntarily.

Silence filled the com as they listened to the quiet around them. The quiet they made. The squad leader pulled out the mission brief from under his pilot seat and double checked everything twice before throwing it at the center screen in front of him.

Why? Why did they have to do that? WHY?

"Damn it…..damn it!"

"Scion, squad leader? Shouldn't we head back to safety or something?" The female, called Violet, spoke rather calmly.

"Yeah…..Is everyone's machine space worthy?" The leader barked out after gaining an incredible amount of instant self-control.

"Space worthy?" Axle remarked sarcastically, trying to make some humor of the scene before him.

"Damn it Axle! You know what I mean! Can everyone's ship get back to the nearest EA controlled air space!"

"Are you two done bickering? My machine should be able to get back to base." Violet said as calm as could bea big change from the mess she was moments ago.

"I ditto that, I should have the fuel and my machine is in so-so condition." Axle said finally regaining himself and knocking the jokes off.

"Good…prepare to move out."

"Roger!" The two squad mates said together.

The group of mobile armors then fired their engines and began the long trek back to the closest EA controlled space. They traveled silently not daring to speak to each other as they contemplated what had occurred. A whole colony gone for reasons they couldn't explain. For reasons they didn't want to hear. This was not how their first mission was to turn out like. Not for them.

A mistake? Malfunction? Or just an act of war? The thought held in their minds and made them all sick in their stomachs.

As the machines silently flew through space they came upon something that shook them to their very core. It was at first glance a large chunk of a building that had somehow gotten through the explosion but on closer inspection one could make the words 'Elementary School'. They all looked at their watches almost simultaneously to find that it was well within school hours.

"Oh god...oh god, oh god, oh god!" Violet began ranting as she gripped her helmet to try and push the thoughts of how many children they had killed...and this was only one school.

"Violet calm down! Just stay calm!" Axle tried to say to sooth the frantic Violet

"Stay calm! Look at that Axle! It's a school for kids, KIDS! They're all dead now!"

"It wasn't our fault! We won't know what happened until we get back to base!"

"We attacked didn't we! We did this! We had to!"

Axle decided not to say anything more and Scion wasn't speaking either. In the squad leaders cockpit sat the man clutching his shoulders with wide eyes that stared at open space.

How many did we kill? How many innocents? How many people died! I didn't want this, this isn't how it's supposed to be...it shouldn't have been this way.

Silence once again filled the com as they flew foward in an unknown direction. Several minutes passed by before Violet spoke.

"Scion?…Sir?" Violet spoke softy of the com-link. She seemed to have regained herself though Scion didn't know how long that would last her.

"Yeah? What is it?" As the squad leader he felt obligated to show that he was calm and collected. Or to appear so and he needed to redeem himself for the outburst from before. Though he still couldn't comprehend what had happened nor did he want too. Mostly he was in shock.

"It was a mistake right? Some sort of malfunction right?"

"..."

"Sir!"

"I don't know damn it! I just don't know!"

"I'm sorry sir...I..."

"Right now, lets just worry about getting back to base.."

"...Yes sir...but"

"...It's a long flight…set your machines to auto pilot and lets get some rest."

The women needed nothing more, in all honesty she didn't want to know right now. Not in this place, not at this time, and maybe not at all.. She set in the coordinates and set the machine into auto-pilot and tried to get some sleep.Scion and Axle followed suit.

But knowing what they had done sleep would never come. Deep inside they struggled with the thought of it being an accident and wondered if it truly was as such. They wondered what really might have happened, they wondered that if their worst fears were realized what would they do about it? What could they do?

Behind the three Moebius was a field of debris from an EA attack that would never be forgotten. Scatted about was pieces clumps of metal and dirt. Large puddles of water were quickly freezing into large ice blocks. Though it was not this that scared them, it was the things you couldn't see, the parts that was blown into non-existence. The countless lives that they had shattered and the sins they had committed.

They all kept their heads low as they left the scene of the destroyed Junius Seven….
