The Strike and Aegis landed in the Archangel's hanger and Kira and Karui got out. They saw Samui waiting for them surrounded by unconscious soldiers.

"Looks like you had fun after all" said Kira

"Not the kind that I wanted" said Samui

They saw Mu La Flaga come up to them and ask "Can you come with me please"

"Sure" said Karui

"At least you asked nicely unlike them" said Samui pointing to the unconscious soldiers

Mu took them to the Captain's office where Captain Ramius and Ensign Badgiruel were already there.

"How could you do that" shouted Natarle

"Easy" said Karui smiling

"You are supposed to be protecting us" shouted Natarle

"But you put this ship in danger with that act you just pulled" said Natarle

"How could this ship be in danger when the two machines defending it were already out there" asked Karui

"I even had the Aegis' beam cannon aimed at the enemy ship's hanger ready to fire the second it started opening" she added

"We don't have to protect you" said Samui

"Our job is to protect the two mobile suits" she said

"We are only protecting you since this ship is the only way to deliver them safely" she said

"Why did you do that" asked Murrue

"Ms. Clyne asked us to help her return to ZAFT and we accepted" said Kira

"How could you accept that" shouted Natarle

"We're mercenaries" said Karui smirking

Natarle started growling as she stomped out of the Captain's office.

"How did you get the Pink Princess to look like that girl Cagalli" asked Mu

"Trade secret" said Kira smiling

He then left the Captain's office along with Samui and Karui.

The next morning Kira and Karui went to go see Cagalli about last night.

"Lacus used a henge of me last night didn't she" said Cagalli seeing them

"Yes" said Kira nodding his head

"Did they come to talk to you about it last night" he asked

"Yeah, they did" said Cagalli

"They woke me up and I yelled at them about why they did it" she said

"They told me what happened and I told them I had no idea what they were talking about since I was sleeping peacefully" she explained

"The Captain apologized before she had everyone leave my room" she finished

"Good job" said Samui

"Thank you" said Cagalli smiling

Sometime later everyone heard "All hands, level one battle stations"

"Looks like they are going to try to attack us one more time before we cross the Eight Fleet's defensive border" said Kira

"I hate border crossing battles" grumbled Karui

"The enemy can go full out while you have to focus on keep moving towards the border while dealing with enemy attacks" she said

"Maybe it will be easier with mobile suits" said Kira

"You can set the mobile suit to keep constantly moving forward while you focus on fighting" he added

They ran to locker room and put on their pilot suits before heading to their Gundams. The Strike was outfitted with the Aile Pack as they launched.

"Kira Yamato, Strike launching"

"Karui, Aegis launching"

They quickly looked around and saw only one ship along with the Duel and Buster.

"Looks like the other ship along with the Blitz are taking Lacus back to ZAFT" said Kira

"This will be easier than I thought" said Karui

"I told you so" said Kira

"Do you want to take the Duel again" he asked

"Yes" said Karui

They both drew their beam sabers and charged forward. The Duel drew its own beam saber as it met the Aegis' charge. The Buster started backing away firing its Gun Launcher and High Energy Rifle. But the Strike dodged all the shots as it close in on the Buster. The Strike stabbed its beam saber into the Buster's head and then kicked it away before taking off towards the Duel.

The Aegis and Duel kept clashing until it had to back away to avoid a slash from the Strike.

"Shall we tag team him" asked Kira

"Let's do it" said Karui

They both charged at the Duel and started fighting it. The Duel couldn't keep up with both of them and soon had its head stabbed by the Aegis and its side slashed open by the Strike. The Aegis went in to finish off the Duel only for the Strike to kick it away. Karui growled at that but didn't say anything.

But once they were back in their room, Karui shouted "Why did you stop me from killing him"

"We need to keep the mobile suits under our control for as long as possible" said Kira

"We can't pilot them if there is no enemy to fight against" he said

"We can't let the Alliance get their hands on the mobile suits either" he said

"So the harder it is to get to the Alliance Headquarters, the easier it is for us" he said

"Alright" said Karui grumbling

The Archangel joined up with the Eight Fleet and was asked to start flying alongside with the flagship of the fleet, the Menelaos.

"That is a fleet" said Karui

"It will take a while for ZAFT gather together enough force to attack us now" said Samui

Admiral Halburton along with his staff came onboard the Archangel to meet with Captain Ramius. She then led them to meet with Team Samui.

"These are the mercenaries that were hired by an unknown outside source to protect the mobile suits" said Murrue

"Which ones of you are the pilots" asked Halburton

"We are" said Kira and Karui

"I will see to it that you are paid extra for your help in protecting the mobile suits and Archangel" said Halburton

"Thank you" said Kira

Once Admiral Halburton and his staff were led away, Karui asked "How did such a nice and honorable Admiral like him wind up in the Alliance"

"I don't know" said Kira

"It's too bad he will be killed when ZAFT attacks" said Samui

All the civilians on board the Archangel were then transferred over to the Menelaos. The students were given discharge papers so they could join them but they decided to stay on and continue helping on the ship.

"I hope they send them down to Earth before ZAFT attacks" said Kira sighing

"Or that will make the battle that much harder" said Karui

But ZAFT showed up sooner than they thought. The civilian shuttle had just left the Archangel and entered the Menelaos when the attack began.

"Damn it, they had to go make it harder for us" growled Karui

Kira was busy typing on the computer before he said "Karui, during the fight we are to slowly make our way to these coordinates and enter the atmosphere"

Everyone looked at the computer where Kira was pointing.

"That will cause the Archangel to change course to catch us and land in the Sahara desert" said Kira

"That means that they will most likely have to go by Orb to get to Alliance HQ" said Cagalli

"Yes" said Kira nodding his head

"We can plan what to do next there" he said

"Do you really think the Eight Fleet will sacrifice itself just for us to get to Earth" asked Samui

"Yes" said Cagalli nodding her head

"The G-Weapon Project was mostly Admiral Halburton's idea" she explained

"He knew that the Earth Forces stood no chance of winning without their own mobile suits" she continued

"While I don't want them to get their hands on the G-Weapons, it would be good for them to have their own mass produced mobile suits" she finished

While Kira and Karui were putting on their pilot suits they heard "Prepare for re-entry"

"Looks like we need to hurry" said Kira

They finished putting on their pilot suits and ran to the hanger. They got into their Gundams and waited for a reason to launch. It finally came when they heard "The X-Numbers have broken through"

"Let us launch Captain" said Kira

"The Strike and Aegis can perform re-entry by themselves" he said

"You are cleared to launch" said Natarle

"Just keep an eye on your altitude and try to return before we enter the atmosphere" she said

"It has never been tested what would happen to the Strike and Aegis while performing re-entry" she said

"Understood" said Kira

"Kira Yamato, Strike launching"

"Karui, Aegis launching"

They flew towards where the three enemy Gundams were destroying the Eight Fleet. The Duel noticed them and drew its beam saber before it charged at them firing its railgun.

"They upgraded the Duel" said Karui

"It was the simplest one" said Kira

"I will keep him busy" said Karui

"Good luck" said Kira

He then flew over to where the Blitz and Buster were. The Blitz saw him and charged at him to keep him busy. The Strike drew its beam saber and charged towards the Blitz. He left the Buster alone knowing it wouldn't be able to escape Earth's gravity.

The Strike and Aegis slowly led their fights into the position that they wanted them in. Unfortunately this led them close to where the civilian shuttle was performing re-entry. The Duel went to attack it causing Kira's and Karui's eyes to widen.

A purple and amber seed fell and exploded in their minds. The Aegis took out its beam rifle and shot the Duel's beam rifle and destroyed it before it could fire. It then destroyed the Duel's upgrades causing it to fall through the atmosphere.

The Strike kicked the Blitz away and shot its head off with its beam rifle. It then took aim at the Buster shooting its head off causing it to go into an uncontrollable descent.

The Strike and Aegis then put their shields in front of them and started performing re-entry. That caused the Archangel to change course to come over and catch them.

Just as planned.
