1 month after The Messiah Incident, 9th March, C.E.74..

She was running as fast as she could, but they were gaining on her. She needed to do something fast. Running into a corridor, Stellar Louisser found herself facing a dead end. Looking around in desperation, she saw the ventilation grille and had an idea.

" Darn! Where'd she go?" Snarled on of her two pursuers as they round the corner.

On cue, Stellar dropped on the two chasers and promptly snapped their necks. Getting off their dead bodies, she ran to a vast, empty hanger full of Mobile suits, and Gundams.

Not paying attention to the other suits, she ran up to the only one she knew by name and heart. The Aegis. Jumping into the cockpit, she flew off into space to meet the sight of the blue Earth. She stared at it for a few moments, marveling it's beauty. Then she remembered what she was running away from and sped at full speed towards Earth.

Suddenly, the space around her was ablaze with fire as jet black mobile Ginns fired at her. She dodged aan continued towards Earth, determined to shake off pursuit. Then she was in the Earth's gravity and was pulled in as he enemies broke off, knowing the danger of attempting an entry with just a mobile suit and returned to the hanger from which she had escaped.

Knowing full well that she was still in danger, she tried to stabilize her suit, but in vain, as she plunged into the waters just off the shore of an island which held a humble cottage which was full of orphans, and piloting top guns. She hit the water like a comet that mysteriously appeared out of nowhere and all went black..

10 months after The Messiah Incident, 9th March, C.E.74, present time..

"Stellar, wake up! We're being transferred to the Archangel Hanger! We've been allowed to join the best squadron in the world and your just snoring in your bunk!" Came a youthful female voice.

Stellar Louisser, newly enlisted in the army and best female pilot of the Orb ranks woke with a start to find herself face to face with her bunkmate, second best and youngest pilot of the Orb forces, Mayu Asuka.

"So you finally got enough of a nap lieutenant?" Mayu teased.

"Yeah, yeah." Stellar got up grudgingly from her bunk and followed Mayu who dragged her out into the open of the Orb military base and to a waiting car that didn't have a top cover and a certain pilot who she wished never to meet again. Athrun Zala.

Of course, it was not as if Athrun could recognize the Extended because she had dyed her hair into a cute brownish- gold color, changed her hair style and used contacts to change her eye colour to green after she had gotten out of her pretty much wrecked suit, hidden it in a safe place and made the decision to live in Orb as a soldier.

On the way to the car, Stellar cast a glance at Mayu's face. She looked happy, but Stellar was surprised at how she could be so happy when she was basically the only one of two people in her family to survive a blast made by the Gundam known as Calamity. Taking her eyes off the large grin, she looked at Mayu's right arm. It looked so real, but Stellar knew better. Mayu had told her that it was really a mechanical arm that had to be used to replace the real one she had lost during the first Coordinator/ Natural war.

Stellar would have dearly loved to tell her mate that her brother, Shinn Asuka was still alive and well, at least that was what she thought because she had not gotten the chance to see Shinn after he dumped her into the lake, but that would just mean giving her cover away.

Athrun stared at the two approaching girls. When he heard the name Mayu Asuka and Stellar Louisser from Kira's lips, he immediately felt suspicious. The name Asuka was the surname of Shinn Asuka and this girl before him definitely looked like a relative of Shinn, maybe even the sister of whom Shinn said was dead. The other, he had heard the name before. Her name was that of that Extended girl, but she definitely did not look like the golden haired girl. However, he still could shake off the feeling of suspicion of the two females.

"Captain Zala?" a voice sounded off just in front of him.

Snapping himself from his reverie, he found Mayu and Stellar staring and him with an evident 'are you fine sir?' look.

"Yes. Are you two Mayu Asuka and Stellar Louisser?" Athrun nearly snapped, cleary embarrassed.

Realizing who they were talking to, they snapped off a salute and Mayu started first, "Mayu Asuka from the 32nd Mobile Suit Squadron. Specialty: Mechanics."

"Stellar Louisser, from the same squadron. Specialty: Sharpshooter."

"Very well. Follow me." Athrun gestured for the two women to board the car who literally jumped over the car door and into their seats before Athrun had time to react by opening the door. Sighing in frustration, Athrun got into the driver's seat and began the half an hour's drive to the world's elite base, the Archangel Hanger.

Archangel Hanger..

Having just recently moved to a new office, Kira sighed at the mess of paperwork, which he knew he would need to tidy up by that day. The one thing that I hate other than fighting is all this stupid paperwork. Kira stared at his remaining work that needed to be re-filed. "I'm gonna have to stay up late today." Kira groaned.

Staring out of the windows of his office, he stared down at the two ships he had gone to war with before, the Archangel and the Eternal. Taking his sights off the two older ships, Kira took a look at the new Trindade class all terrain assault ships. They were grand cruisers, which looked like a more angular kind of Nazca class that had five 'protrusions' instead of three, it had a slightly thicker and longer look to it. Kira decided to look at the blueprint for Orb's new special battle cruisers, and leave the paper work for tomorrow. Switching in the computer in his office, he skirted through various Orb military sites till he came to the site labeled, New Units. Kira entered the site and scrolled through the newest weapons:

Trindade All Terrain Assault Cruisers (Trin- da- de)

Length: 600metres(m)

Breadth: 100m

Armament: 2, 475cm tri-barreled "Dritied" cannons. 2 double barreled 'Thrienfien' positron laser shield breaker. 32 missile launchers. 230cm long-range linear cannons. Sentinels. 42 laser machine guns. 30 surface to air missiles. One Sonic Breaker missile barrage launcher.

Armor: Electrified layers to prevent attacks using swords and new laser encasement technology which allows the ramming of enemy vessels or to prevent long range attacks.

No. of ships:3

Names: Trindade, Protector, Peacekeeper.

Sonic Breaker missile barrage launcher

No. of missiles per second: 10

Explosion radius per missile: 50m

Function: It is the last line of offence and defense to an opponent of Orb. Each missile releases a wave of extremely concentrated sound at various levels. This basically disintegrates anything within its radius. (A/N: If enough sound is made at the exact frequency of for example glass, the glass would shatter. Basically meaning, things have a sort of vibration frequency which I won't explain cause it'll take too long.)

Knock Knock "Permission to enter Major Yamato." Came the voice from over the intercom.

"Enter." Kira replied, immediately switching off his computer, knowing what he was about to deal with.

Athrun and the first two elite troopers from Orb trooped into the room and saluted. After Kira had allowed everyone to sit, Kira started, "Hello Miss Louisser and Miss Asuka, I believe we have some issues to discuss on the lab of Lodonia and the innocent civilians who got caught in the cross-fire between me and Calamity in the first war.

Stellar turned to a shade of pure white, Mayu gasped and fell out of her chair and Athrun got up from his seat so quickly, his legs slammed against the chair, pitching him forward to slam his nose against Kira's table with enough force to cause a minor earthquake which again could be felt by Cagalli, this time in her house, 6 kilometres away.

"Oops, looks like Kira's told Athrun about the info Lacus gave to me." Cagalli giggled before bursting into a fit of laughter.
