Haman had arrived on her ship the ACS Phantom in SGDR space where she was wanted to meet her clone in an more diplomatic circumstances.
Angelica's fleet was cloaked in case circumstances went wrong, but she had been wary of this diplomatic visit as she believed it wouldn't work and just lead to conflict.
Haman and James along with Dilganese guards entered the Hagel-Class Battleship where they were greeted by East German Border Guards
"This way" said the Border Guard
The border guards escorted Haman across to Lyssa's office whilst James waited outside for Haman to summon him in
"You decided to come back" said Lyssa
"Lyssa, why have you decided to ally with the New Titans" said Haman
"Because the Dilganese have been skirmishing with our fleets and we want to be left alone with regards to our space affairs" said Lyssa
"But the Titans will betray you, your a clone of me after all" said Haman
"And your an Zeon, I'm an communist, there is an difference and I would argue that the GDR treated me better than Neo-Zeon did" said Lyssa
"Former Zeon and if you feel abandoned, then I'm sorry, but keep in mind that I sent you back in time to the GDR as if you were captured by Glemys Forces, they would of killed you and unless you were captured by the Double Zeta and the Gundam Team, I don't think the Feddies/AEUG Coalition would of been better captors either" said Haman
"Then why didn't you come with me, instead you had to settle your so-called honour score with Judau which was pointless and just proves that you rather follow idealist fantasies then take stock of your situation" said Lyssa
"What do you mean" said Haman
"All the people you fawn over have idealist principles as well as charm and you ended up getting your heart broken every single time" said Lyssa
"How did you know about that" said Haman
"I have your fact file in an Stasi databank, I also can sense your inner inferiority complex, there are many people you feel inferior to, even Dil" said Lyssa
Haman looked down, she could admit to herself that she had an inferiority complex and it was something that had developed during her years as Supreme Leader of Neo-Zeon, she would secretly admire the idealist AEUG and its members who's views were similar to Haman's before being burdened with the leadership of Zeon, in fact an AEUG members words would repeat constantly ring in her head when she had to make an decision of importance.
'That honour you have, why couldn't you use it more wisely'
"Wait an second, if I had an inferiority complex, then you must have it" said Haman
"I don't actually have one, the only wish was to meet you as well as continue to do my best for the SGDR" said Lyssa
"Even if the state your leading is tyrannical like Neo-Zeon" said Haman
"I am no Zeon, our state serves the people, not some aristocratic family that has no interest in ruling" said Lyssa
"How much does it serve the people though or more like just tells them what to do" said Haman
"We can agree to disagree in many factors, look I don't want to fight you, but you make it harder by siding with the Dilganese" said Lyssa
"I felt morally obligated to side with the Dilganese, may I bring someone in" said Haman
"You didn't come alone" said Lyssa baffled
"James, you can come in" said Haman as James entered the room
"This is James Karn Pickles, he is mine and Dil's son, I know your Stasi file only goes to UC 0089, but I sided with the Dilganese to protect my son, your half-brother" said Haman
Lyssa got up and approached James before shaking his hand "Good to meet you James"
"Good to meet you too, Lyssa" said James
"Look Haman, I am protecting my people and if you like, you and James can join me in helping me run the SGDR" said Lyssa
"I am going to decline that option, your just going to end up in the same position as I was during the First Neo-Zeon War, I will give you an piece of advice" said Haman
"What is that" said Lyssa
"How you make others feel, says a lot about you" said Haman
Lyssa was left speechless as Haman and James left the room to head back to their ship
"Shall we pursue them, Chairmen Von Pickles" said an Stasi officer
"No, let them pass, I need some time to think" said Lyssa
The Stasi officer left the room as Lyssa thought back to what her DNA Progenitor said which essentially was her biological mother telling her to be more considerate on how others feel.
Lyssa had realised that she let around 30 years of abandonment issues from when she was sent back in time to East Germany to where she was now run riot in her decision making and she was pushing Haman away even if she was sent back in time for her own protection.
But Lyssa knew that she had to protect her own people that were sent forward in time with her as well as their various families, the Dilganese had been attacking their navy for some time in various skirmishes and the Dango's didn't exactly tolerate SGDR's existence which drove Lyssa to ally Space East Germany with the New Titans whom Takahiko gave them guarantees of protection from Dilganese fleets.
However Lyssa did feel an tinge of guilt after pushing all her anger out on Haman
Meanwhile
Takahiko Arima was seething with anger from Dil's speech
"Those Dilganese bastards, they wanted to use Kaori's death as an excuse to go to war with us" said Takahiko
"But sir, you killed Kaori Arima with the Eagle Gundam's beam rifle" said Lytton
"She revolted against our order and we kept the peace by silencing the Viola threat" said Takahiko
"Especially with their harbouring of Zeon terrorists within their ranks" said Lytton
"Exactly, can you let Captain Haruko Kamio into the room" said Takahiko
Captain Haruko Kamio entered the room
"Captain, we have just received invasion plans coming in" said Takahiko
"What are the plans, General" said Haruko
"The New Titans plan to launch an full-scale invasion of Hikarizaka, lets end the Dango Republic before it has an chance to try and stop us" said Takahiko
"What is our invasion force's numbers and capabilities" said Haruko
"The invasion force will split into three groups, Titans Group Centre will be led by you and it will be looking to take the centre of the city, the outskirts will be invaded by Titans 85th Ground Corps and SGDR's 4th Red Panzer Division and Hikarizaka's coast will be invaded by the Empire of Leni's Aqua Regiment, so we've got some heavy numbers going into this battle" said Takahiko
"What's entry point of my force, I know the coastal force will go by sea and outskirts force will enter through the Titans/Dango border, what about my force" said Haruko
"You'll enter from space after dealing with the Dango Navy, I assume the Dilganese may provide support" said Takahiko
"It shall be done, General" said Haruko
Later (Battle of Hikarizaka)
The Dango's were more prepared than the New Titans were expecting, the Dilganese had sent them some SPT Reptar Mk I's and the Dango's had mobile suits of there own such as the: Dango GM Custom and the Dango GM Sniper which were modified GM's that were stolen from the New Titans and modified with a new head and weapons.
Tomoya was put in charge of defending Hikarizaka, whilst his wife Nagisa was in charge of the Dango Medical Corps, Youhei and his wife Kyou were in Reptar Mk I's, defending the Outskirts point in which the New Titans may attack, Tomoyo was in space along with Ryou and the Dilganese with the Dango's only space fleet that could engage the New Titans in orbit and Fuko's autonomous Followers of Fuko force had been preparing an counterattack against the New Titans. The Dango's mobile suits had been patrolling around the city, waiting for the New Titans to attack at any moment.
Then
"Tomoya, we are under attack, the Titans have underwater suits" said a Dango Captain
Leni's Marine Hizack squadron had emerged from underwater and fired its shoulder cannons, destroying a handful of Dango GM'S and as the Dango's got into position to fire at the Marine Hizacks, they were ambushed on ground by GM II's and in the air from Bowships.
"Yukine, gather some of your forces, head to the coast" said Tomoya through his radio
"Who will defend the Centre" said Yukine
"I've got enough forces to hold them until reinforcements arrive" said Tomoya
Yukine's forces headed to the coast where they began to fight back against the New Titans Mobile Suits as the Dango suits tended to be an match for the Titans suits. Leni was holding her own in an Marine Hizack which was providing an problem for Dango forces
Then
"We're getting reports the Titans along with the SGDR have launched an invasion into the outskirts of Hikarizaka" said an Dango Captain
Kyou and Youhei send an force of MS which included SPT Reptar Mk I's, Dango GM's and Dango Tanks to deal with the Titans/SGDR forces.
The SGDR had two new MS's called the EGMS General Purpose MS and EGMS Panzer MS Variant which were built to try and keep the Space East Germans on par technologically with both the Dilganese and Dango's.
"Since when did the SGDR build MS" said Kyou
The SGDR variants managed to overpower some of the Dango MS which damaged Youhei's MS before Kyou Reptar Mk I threw herself in to save Youhei and Kyou's MS was shot down with the Panzers missiles which damaged Kyou's MS beyond repair
"KYOUUUUU" yelled Youhei sadly
However just before the SGDR and Titans forces could finish off the Dango's, the Dilganese reinforcements had arrived.
Tomoya's Central Division and Fuko's Forces launched an countercharge which managed to push the Titans out of Hikarizaka centre when they realised that the Titans Group Centre had been halted in space and the Dango's began to gain the upper hand as the Dilganese began to back their forces
The Dilganese secured the coast with Leni's force retreating as the Marine Hizacks were no match for the SPT Reptar Mk III's and SPT Aqua Reptar.
The Outskirts forces held on the longest as the 4th Red Panzer Division was considered an elite squadron of the SGDR and was holding on with inferior technology, but the Dilganese managed to push them back and hold them to the Titans/Dango Border along with the nearly destroyed Titans 85th Ground Corps.
Aftermath
"How is she doc" said Youhei wanting to know Kyou's condition
"She is in an coma, most likely for an while" said an doctor
Hikarizaka was almost beyond repair following the battle, the town was damaged, a few notable people died during the battle (Misae, Sugisaka and Rie), the Dango Republic were essentially leaderless as Kyou was in an coma.
"Okazaki, I need to talk to you" said Youhei
"I heard about your wife, I'm so sorry, will you and your daughter be ok" said Tomoya
"Yeah, however neither she or me can function as President, we believe you are the best leader for the Dango's" said Youhei
"But the electorate chose Kyou" said Tomoya
"Look, your the best possible leader to lead us, if it weren't for you and Nagisa, we would of been doomed for sure, look Okazaki you've got more talent than you let on, help us" said Youhei
"I'll become President" said Tomoya
Earlier in space
The Titans Group Centre were looking to invade Hikarizaka from space, Captain Haruko Kamio had prepared an large fleet as they knew the Dango's would simply submit if they had the full power of an fleet backing the two armies.
"Lieutenant, is there an fleet protecting Hikarizaka" said Haruko
"Yeah there is, but we can't detect what or who the ship is" said Haruko's Lieutenant
Meanwhile
Charlie was guarding Hikarizaka on board of the ACS Kaori Miyazono, He had Ushio as his Lieutenant and Liam managed the weapons system on the ship
"Liam, activate the radar jammer, let's make sure the Titans don't detect us" said Charlie
"Jammer activated" said Liam
"Ushio, what is the status of the Titans ship" said
"It is heading towards us, but it cannot detect us due to the radar jammer" said Ushio
"Excellent, Liam prepare the ships long range cannons" said Charlie
"Preparing the cannons now" said Liam as the cannons of the ship aimed at Titans Group Centre
"Charlie, the fleet are hailing us" said Ushio
"On screen" said Charlie
Titans Captain Haruko Kamio appeared
"This is Captain Haruko Kamio of the Titans, surrender your forces if you don't want to be crushed" said Haruko
"And what if we don't" said Charlie
"We will crush you, like we are doing right now to the Dangos" said Haruko
"I can't allow that to happen, turn off hailing frequencies" said Charlie
"Ushio, deploy in an Dango GM Sniper, Liam prepare the ships weapons" said Charlie
The ACS Kaori Miyazono aimed its weapon systems at the Titans fleet.
The Titans and Dilganese forces deployed their mobile suits, Haruko's fleet had many Hizacks and GM Quels
"Ushio Okazaki, Dango GM Sniper, launching" said Ushio as her MS deployed with various SPT Reptar Mk III's and SPT Reptar Customs
"Liam, fire the weapons systems on the ship" said Charlie
"Yes sir" said Liam
The ACS Kaori Miyazono fired its cannons at the Titans fleet which had began to sway the battle in their favour as the Dilganese suits were superior to the Titans ones and Charlie was an better tactician than Haruko.
Meanwhile
"Haruko, we are losing the battle, we need to retreat" said Haruko's lieutenant
"Deploy my MS, I am entering the battle" said Haruko
"Haruko Kamio, Tactical GM, Launching" said Haruko as she deploys
The Tactical GM tore through Reptar suits using either her beam saber and the suits machine gun, eventually Haruko spotted Ushio's MS which had just defeated some Hizacks.
Haruko rushed her MS to combat Ushio's MS, beam sabers clashing
"You Dango's with your spiritual nonsense, when will you see reason" said Haruko angrily
"Reason, you fight for evil" said Ushio
"I fight to avenge my daughter who died as an result of the spiritual nonsense" said Haruko
Ushio realised that this woman was one which the Dangos had failed, their had been rumours of the spiritual aspects of Dangoism such as the Illusionary World as well as other spiritual entities, some of which had caused good, whilst others led to tragic consequences.
"I'm sorry, but the Dango's views enlighten humanity" said Ushio
"No they don't" said Haruko angrily
Ushio's Dango GM managed to kick Haruko's Tactical GM in the head as the Dango MS spun backwards before it fired its sniper rifle through the Tactical GM, killing Haruko.
"Are you okay, Ushio" said Charlie through Ushio's comms
"Yeah, i'm doing good, just hold on" said Ushio as she rushed her MS over to the main Titans command ship and took out its command bridge, sinking it which caused the lesser surviving Titans ships to retreat.
"Titans flagship has sunk, we've won the battle" said Ushio
"Good job, the Dango's have won the battle on the ground, but there is some news I have to share" said Charlie
"What is it" said Ushio worryingly
"Kyou is an coma from the injuries suffering during the battle, your father Tomoya Okazaki has ascended to the presidency of the Dango Republic" said Charlie
Ushio had mixed feeling of emotions, on one hand she liked and respected Kyou as she was not only authoritative, but also an considerate person, but on the other hand she knew her father was capable of leading her people. Ushio returned to the ACS Kaori Miyazono
Suddenly two fleets returned back into the Dilganese Solar System
"This is Admiral Charlie Miyazono Pickles of the Dilganese 2nd Alien Fleet, identify yourselves" said Charlie
"This is Angelica Finister of the ACS Cynthia" said Angelica
"This is Haman Karn of the ACS Phantom, coming in" said Haman
"What is the status of the Dangos battle" said Angelica
"We've destroyed Titans Group Centre, the Dangos fended the Titans off in Hikarizaka" said Charlie
"Excellent, you and Haman's fleet will launch an counter-attack on Titans Control-5, an Titans command base in space, James you are to report to your father" said Angelica
