James had been summoned into his fathers office in the aftermath of the diplomatic meeting with the SGDR which had gone fairly sour.
"Hi James, how was the trip" said Dil
"It was alright, how come I'm here" said James
"Your mother and half-brother's fleets have both assigned to assault Command-5, this is an risky operation that requires two fleets and because I don't want to risk losing two sons in battle, I have summoned you here to protect you" said Dil
"So what am I doing instead then" said James
"Your mostly going to be looked after by Grandpa Stu and Grandma Didi, but you are also going to become an test pilot for any new MS or vehicle that Stu Pickles Toys creates" said Dil
"What about you and Lil" said James
"We will see you in our free time, but our job has required a lot out of us two, especially with all of the admin and defence of the Dilganese Empire" said Dil
"Will I see mom again" said James
Dil's face saddened a bit before saying "Look your mother along with your half-brother and lot of your friends and family are helping us defend ourselves from the looming threat of the Titans, Empire of Leni and the SGDR, look your mother has always said that she wanted you to live an normal life and will sacrifice anything to achieve that"
James face saddened a bit
Soon Lil entered the room
"Hi everyone" said Lil tiredly
"Hi Lil, how are things" said Dil
"Tiring, I had to run all of the admin, I wish this Titans fiasco ends soon" said Lil
"Hopefully it will end soon, looks who's here" said Dil
"Oh, Hi James, have you told him what's going to happen to him" said Lil
"Yeah" said Dil
Lil gave James an Virtual Disk
"It's an message from your mother, she told me to give it to you before she sorties off to take Command-5" said Lil
James received the Virtual Disk before Lil spoke to him
"Look hopefully this war ends soon and we can get back to peacetime" said Lil
"Yeah" said James
Stu and Didi walked in
"Ready to go, James" said Stu
"Yeah" said James as he left the room with Stu and Didi
Meanwhile
The ACS Phantom and ACS Kaori Miyazono were on their way with various support ships and MS to deal with the New Titans base of Command-5.
On board of the ACS Kaori Miyazono
"Ushio, what is the status of Command-5 before we launch the attack" said Charlie
"It is heavily fortified, we detect various MS's as well as Alexandria and Arima-class ships" said Ushio
"We need to cloak" said Charlie
"Cloaking engaged" said Liam
"Charlie to Haman, you need to cloak your ship" said Charlie
"Will do" said Haman as her ship cloaks as well
The two fleets get close to Command-5 before uncloaking and opening fire
Command-5 took some damage before activating its shields as MS and command ships were deployed against the Dilganese fleets.
"Deploy the mobile suits on all ships" said Charlie
A flurry of SPT Reptar Mk III's and SPT Reptar Custom's had been deployed as well as the new MS the SPT Fully Armoured Dom.
The Reptar Custom suits did perform well against the Titans Snoopy and Barzam suits, whilst only aces did well in the Reptar Mk III's against the Barzams that had some of the Titans better pilots inside them.
On the ACS Phantom
The battle at this point had stalemated, with both Dilganese and Titans MS destroying each other with no real push forwards or backwards.
"Cello, what is the status of the battle" said Haman
"Very even-sided, can't really tell if we are winning or being pushed back" said Cello
"Do you think the Titans are buying time to wait for reinforcements" said Haman
"I think so" said Cello
"If so, they are dictating the pace of the battle, I need to deploy in the Qubeley" said Haman
"Haman, it's too risky" said Cello
"Why is too risky" said Haman
The ship shaked slightly as one stray cannon hit the side of the ship
"The Titans have just jammed our radars, their is no way we would be able to contact you" said Cello
"I am deploying anyway, I can make an difference on the battlefield" said Haman
"Haman, your orders are to remain on your ship unless a absolutely necessary" said Cello
"This is an emergency, Cello take charge of the ship, whilst I'm gone" said Haman
"Yes Lady Haman" said Cello
Haman sortied into her AMX-004 Qubeley
"Haman Karn, Qubeley, launching" said Haman
On board of ACS Kaori Miyazono
"Charlie, we've got reports that an commander mobile suit has been sortied into battle" said Ushio
"It better not be who I think it is" said Charlie
"The mobile suit has been identified as Haman's" said Ushio
"Damn it, I told Haman not to deploy, especially now with the jammed radars" said Charlie
"What's our next course of action" said Liam
"We need to cover Haman's mobile suit, but she has delayed our advance" said Charlie angrily
Back to space
Haman's Qubeley launched itself into battle and immediately made an impact, smashing through Barzam's and Snoopy's with ease
Haman then sensed that the New Titans were deploying Cyber-Newtype Jerid clones in Baund Doc's
"The New Titans do have Newtype suits, gotta protect the fleets" said Haman as she rushed the Qubeley into the location of the Baund Doc's which began firing their arm and chest cannons which Haman's Qubeley dodged before duelling it with her beam saber
"End of the line, Spacenoid" said one of the Jerid clones
"Not yet" said Haman as her Qubeley powered back and deployed its funnels which the Baund Doc's couldn't handle and were destroyed.
Meanwhile the ship that had been jamming Dilganese communications was destroyed which allowed Dilganese communications to function again.
"Haman to Charlie, the New Titans have got Newtype mobile suits at this base" said Haman
"You deployed when your were ordered to remain on your ship, you've delayed our advance when the Titans are possibly deploying reinforcements" said Charlie
"But the course of the battle was being dictated by the enemy, I needed to deploy to keep the odds in our favour and hopefully win the battle" said Haman
"Lady Haman, we can advance as the enemy ships that were jamming our communications have been destroyed" said Cello
"Very good, Mashymere, Charlie what is the status of your fleet" said Haman
"My fleet is operational and is advancing, but Haman if this is an joint operation, you need to get approval from the other commander before making any move" said Charlie
"But our signals were jammed and I am one of two people that is an Newtype, you are aware of that" said Haman
"Yeah I am aware, just keep in mind the other fleets in the battle" said Charlie
"Will do" said Haman
As the Dilganese fleets and MS advanced, clearing left over Titans suits along the way, they approached the command bridge of Command-5 which still had its shields activated.
Haman then sensed something
"An Newtype, but not like the Jerid units, this one is different" said Haman
Suddenly an MS flew past Haman at an very fast speed.
The MS was the experimental Psyco-Hizack and it was piloted by an Titans pilot by the name of Michael Tenrick, he was an Cyber-Newtype that had grew up in Michigan and had joined the Empire of Leni's forces as he believed that space needed to be policed.
The Psyco-Hizack rushed towards the Qubeley with full force and both beam sabres clashed at full speed and then both tried to shoot each other down, Haman with her hand cannon and Michael with his beam rifle, but neither could get an hit and eventually it returned to beam saber combat.
"Why are you siding with the Titans" said Haman
"You Dilganese have held the Empire of Leni back, Leni Loud will bring peace and security to the Americas" said Michael
"Leni is just an puppet to the Titans, the Titans want to bring tyranny into the earth" said Haman
"Says the Ghost of Zeon" said Michael as he began to launch psychic pressure through his MS
Haman decided to launch psychic pressure which caused an field of near magnetic pressure which had prevented both Dilganese and Titans fleets from moving any further.
On the ACS Kaori Miyazono
"Charlie, we can't move any further, the pressure of both suits has stopped both fleets in their tracks" said Ushio
"Liam, you'll aim your battleship guns, aim for the Psyco-Hizack" said Charlie
"Ain't that risky, considering we have an 50/50 shot" said Liam
"Just do it, Charlie to Mashymere, prepare your ships cannon's, we are aiming at the Psyco-Hizack" said Charlie
"What if you miss" said Cello
"We need to get rid of the psychic pressure, otherwise we are going to be sitting ducks to Titans reinforcements" said Charlie
"One shot each, anymore and its going to mark us out to the Titans" said Cello
"Very well" said Charlie
Liam aimed the ACS Kaori Miyazono's ships cannon's at where the MS battle was taking place and took his shot, however he missed the Psyco-Hizack and ended up hitting the Qubeley's wing which caused it to spin downwards at fast speed.
Cello on the other hand managed to shoot down the Psyco-Hizack as it shot it in the chest before the Psyco-Hizack could chase the falling Qubeley.
Mashymere decided to sortie in his Zaku III Custom and delegated command of his ship to his lieutenant
Mashymere rushed out into space where his Zaku III managed to destroy two Titans Alexandria ships as well as various Titans MS which allowed the Dilganese 2nd Fleet to pull through into Command-5, then he went looking for the Qubeley.
"Where is it" said Cello as he activated his radar and found an signal
His Zaku III Custom would rush down to where the Qubeley was which it was heavily damaged from landing on an atmospheric part of Command-5 with one of its wing's ripped off and it's other wing looked damaged, the middle part as well as the head of the MS was slightly damaged, it was an miracle the MS hadn't exploded.
Mashymere exited his Zaku III Custom and used his jetpack to fly over to where Haman was, he found her unconscious, she was lucky that she decided to wear an spacesuit as the compression system in the mobile suit had broken as well as Haman having broken both her neck and both of her legs.
Mashymere tried to get her out, but her leg which was beyond repair was trapped in the damaged mobile suit, so Mashymere decided to amputate the leg and tape it up so that no air could escape Haman's spacesuit and that Haman wouldn't simply bleed out and then he took Haman away from her mobile suit.
He then put Haman in the back seat of his MS (which had been put there by the Society of the Cube an while back) and flew off back to the ACS Phantom.
The Dilganese fleet had reached Command-5 where after an brief firefight took the base from the Titans/Leni forces.
1 Week Later - Post Battle
Charlie was examining the Command-5 command centre which was deserted after the New Titans and Leni forces either deserted or were captured.
He was aware that Haman had been pulled away from the wreckage that was her MS after Liam Deville accidently shot her down and was worried about her for James's sake, but he knew that if that Psyco-Hizack pilot wasn't shot down, it would caused numerous problems to both Dilganese fleets.
"Have we captured Command-5 for good" said Ushio
"We have, although there are other command stations the Titans have" said Charlie
Mashymere walked in into the command centre with an sombre look on his face
"How is she" said Charlie
"She has broken her neck and her left leg, her right leg had to be amputated and there was an lacerated kidney" said Cello
"Is her condition stable" said Charlie
"Yeah the doctors managed to fix up her kidney and saved her life, she could wake up at any moment" said Cello
"Phew I was getting really worried" said Charlie
"However I request that you go and see her" said Cello
Charlie walked down the corridors of the space station to the medical facility where Haman was.
At this point Haman had woken up to find 3 people surrounding her bedside, Mashymere, Charlie and an Dilganese doctor.
"What happened" said Haman
"You were shot down and I had to break you outside your wreckage" said Cello
"Wait was I shot down by friendly fire" said Haman
"Yes you were, my ship shot you down by accident" said Charlie looking down
"You were shot down and Mashymere saved your life" said Dilganese Doctor
Haman smiled at Mashymere before looking back at the Dilganese doctor
"However you have suffered quite a few injuries" said Dilganese doctor
"When can I return to action" said Haman
"You've suffered an broken neck and an broken left leg, as for you other leg" said the Dilganese Doctor
"What's happened to it" said Haman
"It was amputated as you were trapped in your Mobile suit and your right leg was crushed by the wreck" said Mashymere
Haman looked to find an stump to where her right leg was and was in initial shock before Mashymere shook her out of it.
"You may be able to return to an command bridge in an month or two, but in an cast, as for piloting I'm not sure if you can do it again without prosthetics or an specialised cockpit" said the Dilganese Doctor
Haman remained silent for a bit as the Dilganese Doctor left the room leaving Charlie and Mashymere behind.
"Look Charlie, I don't blame you for what you did, you were trying to ensure your crews survival and I was inconsiderate for not following your orders" said Haman
"You saw something that I didn't see, your more experienced than me, but I had to make sure that the operation went smoothly as little casualties as possible" said Charlie
"Nothing is certain in an space battle and anything can happen, the thing you can do the most is to protect your crew no matter what, there is something that Spock said in one of James's Star Trek films, The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" said Haman
"Thanks, though I do apologise for what happened to you there" said Charlie
"Look I probably deserved it after the Neo-Zeon wars, but you have nothing to apologise for, you take care of your crew and keep them safe from anything the Titans and Leni throw at you and you will contribute to winning the war, however can you and James promise me one thing" said Haman
"What is that" said Charlie
"Can you and James please try to help Lyssa and prevent her from going the path I went on in the Universal Century" said Haman
"I will try" said Charlie
"Can you leave the room, I need to talk to Mashymere" said Haman
"Okay" said Charlie as he left the room
"Look, I gotta thank you for what you did there, you saved my life" said Haman
"Anything for you" said Cello
"Even after I used you for Neo-Zeon" said Haman
"Yeah, although back then, many of us were thrown into that position by fate" said Cello
"Although we didn't make the best of it back then" said Haman
"It's in the past now and we along with an few others were given an chance to do right, the Dilganese and Dango's have the chance to offer peace and stability , something neither Axis Zeon or the Earth Federation could never provide in the Universal Century" said Cello
"Your right, Mashymere, can I ask you an question" said Haman
"Go ahead" said Cello
"When you had an choice between the Cubemaster and me, what made you keep me alive" said Haman
"Two reasons, one I saw that you were able to choose your destiny after appearing in this multiverse and I wanted to see what the future had in stored for me in which the Society of the Cube were holding me back from" said Cello
"And were you were able to fulfil that" said Haman
"Yeah I did, I was able to explore the stars, test mobile suits, visit new alien planets and I even got to see you again" said Cello
Haman blushed slightly before saying "What was the other reason you chose me over the Cubemaster"
Mashymere walked up and sat down on an chair next to Haman's bed
Both blushed slightly before Mashymere said "You know, I always had feelings for you even back when we were on Axis"
"You did sort of declare it with the whole rose thing on Axis" said Haman
"Yeah maybe I did" said Cello
"Hey Mashymere" said Haman
"Yeah" said Cello
"Come Closer" said Haman
Mashymere got closer to Haman before Haman grabbed him by his shirt and kissed him on the lips before letting go
"Will you take care of me, push my wheelchair and be kind to me" said Haman
"You know I always will" said Cello
"Good" said Haman as both kissed each other
Meanwhile
Takahiko Arima was in his office on Command-1, the New Titans war against the Dilganese-Dango Coalition had fully begun with the Titans and their allies failed invasion of Hikarizaka.
"Lytton, any news on any of the fronts" said Takahiko
"Do you want the good news or bad news" said Lytton
"Bad news first" said Takahiko
"We lost Command-5, two Dilganese fleets took it against our fairly weak force" said Lytton
"We can't be losing these command bases, they are vital in the Titans command network, what's the good news" said Takahiko
"The Ghost of Zeon was reported WIA during the Battle of Command-5 and for the 2nd bit of good news, you can come in now" said Lytton
Walking in was Leni Loud, the Supreme General and Emperor of the Empire of Leni, after winning the Royal Woods mayoral elections an while back, Leni replaced all of the state representatives with loyalists and Titans military men, forming the Empire of Leni Junta.
"Ah Leni, I hear your forces have been quite successful" said Takahiko
"We have taken all of the Dilganese eastern territory and currently our forces are fighting them over Kansas and Colorado" said Leni
"Excellent, do you have any forces to spare for the Klebian front" said Takahiko
"No, my forces are focused heavily in the Americas campaign against the Dilganese, I do know that the SGDR could spare more forces" said Leni
"They could, I have some Titans forces that I can use, but need to negotiate with Lyssa to see if she can help" said Takahiko
"Do you trust Lyssa considering who she's an clone of" said Leni
"Not necessarily trust, but she is useful to have as an ally, especially with the number of forces that she has" said Takahiko
"What if she betrays us though, her forces could cripple ours" said Leni
"If she does betray us, I have some contingency plans" said Takahiko
"Will they help us win the war against the Dilganese and Dango forces" said Leni
"Once this war is over, the Titans will rule over all of space and the earth, I do have someone that can help you" said Takahiko
"Who" said Leni
"Enter" said Takahiko
A woman in an black Titans overcoat walked in, she had long black hair and an serious expression on her face.
"Leni, meet Captain Emi Igawa, she is going help you take the homelands of the Dilganese Empire" said Takahiko
"At your service" said Emi
"Ah good, does she have experience commanding forces" said Leni
"She has made an good account of herself in some of the skirmishes we had against the Dilganese" said Takahiko
"Very well then, lets go Emi, I've got an Empire to build" said Leni as her and mi left the room.
Later
Takahiko Arima and his fleet headed into SGDR territory which they had only made small gains as well as taking the Catmun system.
After arriving on their version of Earth, Takahiko headed towards the Supreme Soviet building which hosted the SGDR government.
"Ah Takahiko Arima of the New Titans, it's an honour to see you here" said Lyssa
"It's good to see you" said Takahiko
Both leaders walk to Lyssa's office which is quite grandiose decorated with communist portraits and symbols
"So, what is this meeting about" said Lyssa
"It is about the front, we believe there is an way we can defeat the Dilganese" said Takahiko
"Go on" said Lyssa
"The New Titans plan to launch an invasion of Klebian IV , we were wondering if the SGDR could contribute to the invasion" said Takahiko
"We could contribute, what is the surface and conditions of the Klebian system" said Lyssa
"Similar to Earth, although it hosts the Klebian people whom have been massive allies to the Dilganese-Dango Forces" said Takahiko
"We will send you the entire East German Air Force as well as two divisions, we have been looking to replace the Air Force with space forces for some time" said Lyssa
"That should be enough" said Takahiko
"However an word of warning, I intend to put the SGDR's best interests at heart and if you don't respect that, I will simply withdraw my troops, got that" said Lyssa
"Very well" said Takahiko as he walked out the room smiling knowing he had an Klebian invasion force
Entering Lyssa's office was an bald guy with glasses, he had an East German army uniform with an white patch which was the symbol of the Stasi, the SGDR's secret police.
He was Head of the Stasi Grenreich Shalder
"You requested me, our great leader" said Grenreich
"I want the Stasi to spy on Takahiko and his forces, I want to know his full ulterior motives and how it affects us as an state" said Lyssa
"Your wish is my command" said Grenreich
Moments later
The New Titans led by Takahiko's flagship the TCS Jamitov were heading towards the Klebian system with various Alexandria-class, Saki-class and Magellan-class ships. They were being backed by the SGDR who had an Hagel-class ship as well as various transport ships which carried their Air Force
