Phase Fifteen: Fires of Betrayal

I do not own Chris, Liz, or Johanna Dante, Saul, Ian, or Diana Kessel, John Alaric, the 11th Fleet, the Raven, or the Surge Gundams. They all belong to Akatsuki_Leader13. Nor do I own Gundam. I only own Akira, Tao, Nisha, NASA/NAZAFT, the 7th Fleet, the Wing, Z.A.M., and Diver Gundams.

A0930: Glad you liked. :3 As for the questions, the other machines have to return for power charges. Wing Zero does not. No, no love triangles here. I do not do those, sorry. :( It will be Kira who helps develop the Natural-use OS, but with some aid from a surprising source revealed in this chapter. :3 And thanks for the input. :3 Anything that helps is appreciated. :3

Guest: No, no more characters as I have too many already! DX Sorry. :(

Ken Wise: No, he will not learn to pilot to get Flay back. That is too vain for even someone like Sai.

Fuyu Aki: Glad you could join the group of fans of this story! :D No, no love triangle will exist. I do not do those. :(

Just a Crazy Man: No, no super strikes or extra Strike Rogues. Sorry. :(

CT7567Rules: You will see that soon enough...;3

Titanic X: Glad you like it. XD

C.E. 71 – War has been raging for 11 months between the Earth Alliance and the PLANTs. With their superior numbers, it seemed inevitable the Earth Forces would win. But the PLANTs unveiled new technology and began to gain the upper hand. Now, 10 months after the initial conflict began, the war is at a stalemate…


U.S. West Coast…

Sparks flew from a welder as people worked on repairing the side of a ship that had been struck by an Earth Alliance warship. Away from the bustle of the repairs, civilians went about their normal lives, seemingly unaffected by the war. They went to work, the store, school, etc. as the sun shone overhead. The sunlight reflected on the flag flapping in the breeze, the red, white, and blue standing out strongly. The red and white striped flag, with the white stars on the blue field, was their pride, and their symbol. It was respected, as well as feared, and it was their strength of power...and it was a symbol that even the feared Earth Alliance leadership trembled in fright at…


ORB, Morgenroete…

Heero stood near a computer console as Erica Simmons looked over the data that was on the screen. "I just don't know how we are going to get this OS to work the way we want it too." She groaned as she put her head in her hands.

"…" Heero was silent, his eyes on the console screen. He could see several big flaws, even for him. "Your operating system is flawed."

"I know that!" Erica snapped back. "Why do you think we are trying to get this to work?!"

Heero did not say anything as he looked at her. "…"

Erica sighed as she turned away from him. "We're just under a lot of pressure right now."

"The system does not work."

The woman looked at Heero. "Did you not hear what I said?"

"I did, but it does not work. Your programming is all wrong. The movement timers are off, the sensitivity to the controls is not at sufficiently higher levels, the strength requirements are too high for a normal human, and the complexity is way higher than it should be." Heero explained.

Erica looked at the parameters on the screen, wondering if he was right. "It is possible, but the OS was originally incomplete…" she mused. "If only we had some of the OS's used by NASA, then we could do a comparison and find out if it is true or not."

Heero looked back at where the Archangel was. 'If they can't develop an OS for the Naturals here, I may be forced to give them the OS for Wing Zero. And that I wish to avoid…'


Nisha looked over the pictures of him and his mother he had out, wondering why she had to die like that. "Why mom…why did you have to die that day…" Tears fell on the photo, which was smiling back at him eternally.

Deep down, he wondered why he had not joined ZAFT in the aftermath of the Bloody Valentine. At least then he would be with Aki' again…

The thought of his cousin sparked rage, but to his surprise, he was not as mad as he thought he would be. Nisha knew why his cousin joined ZAFT and why he betrayed them at Artemis, but that still did not make him feel any better.

Fists clenched as he felt tears run down his cheeks. Nisha was not the type to act on anger or emotion. He acted on logic and facts, which was how he was able to hold his own against his cousin. But still, he had acted, trying to get Akira to see that what he was doing was wrong. But the other Coordinator was too stubborn to listen to reason, hence why Nisha was fighting him at the moment.

'Families torn apart, friends fighting one another…how much more twisted can this whole war get?' There was no answer.


7th Fleet ship Constitution

Akira looked at the image of his sister that sat on his computer desk, a distant look present in his eyes. He unconsciously touched the necklace she had given him, unaware of the motions as he did so. How he missed her so…

The Coordinator often wondered why Nisha had not joined ZAFT in the aftermath of the Bloody Valentine, but every time he thought about it, he came to the same conclusion: Nisha would never want to fight out of revenge on those who were never involved.

He clenched the necklace, his hand closing around it tightly. Those Blue Cosmos bastards would pay for what they did that day, as well as for what they did in the Bloody Valentine. He would make sure of that, permanently…


NASA PLANT, New Juneau…

Men and women moved around the interior of the colony, getting work done or just talking with co-workers who were visiting from Earth. No one could see the inside of the PLANT though, as it was blacked out to the outside world. Not even the PLANTs that they were among could see inside, and for very good reason: New Juneau was not an ordinary PLANT.

It did not have just the interior of a normal PLANT colony. No, the inside was much more complex and much more elaborate than a normal PLANT. There were no small cities or tiny villages. Instead, there were sprawling suburbs surrounding large office buildings and hotels. Schools were inside the suburbs, as were stores and places to eat. But that was just one side of the PLANT. On the other, there were farms for the colony's people to grow their own food. And because it was grown inside the colony, the people living there could get food that was even fresher than that brought in from Junius City.

Roads connected the houses and buildings like in any other PLANT, but that was the only similarity. Everything else about New Juneau was far different than any other PLANT by far.

NASA's only PLANT was also home to a part of the armed forces, so it was also an armed forces base. The commander of said armed forces base looked out at the PLANTs not too far off. While they could not see in, the NASA PLANT citizens could see out. She smirked to herself, wondering what the ZAFT leaders would say about their…situation…to the populace of the other PLANTs if they wanted to paint them as an enemy. As if they could actually do that, considering the precarious…'circumstances' they were in.

Still, it was an uneasy situation at best. If ZAFT tried to attack them, then they would be facing the wrath of only one nation on the planet below…their home…

That was what she wanted to avoid. But given Wu's tendencies…they may not have that much time in safety left…and that was what bothered her the most…

Wu…that man bothered the commander more than anything, given his Coordinator Supremacy ideas. She shivered at the thought of his treatment of the Coordinators in New Juneau. He treated them like they were the greatest things in the universe, when they were just like any other Coordinators for that matter. Why did it matter that they came from…their home? They were not superior to other Coordinators, and yet Wu believed that they were. "Damn his ideology…" she cursed. It irked her to no end, and that was why she wanted to take the man down, yet she could not. No, not yet…


Morgenroete, ORB

Heero looked over the OS as Erica sat at the computer desk. "So…can you figure out a way to make a better OS?" she asked.

"…" Heero was silent as his blue eyes flew over the specs that were currently up. "It will not be easy, considering we don't have an OS from NASA to compare this to."

Erica put her head in her right hand. "What about your machine's OS?" she asked as she sat upright. Her companion whirled around, his eyes wide a bit before they became hard. "My machine's OS is not being released to be used!" he snarled. "Besides, your pilots would not be able to handle it, as it is only made to match my abilities."

The older woman looked down, not sure of what to say. "I…didn't know…" she began. Heero sighed and placed a hand on the arm of her chair. "Look, I just want you to know that Wing Zero is much too advanced for you to understand. That goes for the OS too." He explained.

Erica glanced back at him, and then looked at the OS before her. "So…what do you think should be done?"

"I believe that if we can get an OS sample from NASA, then we can develop a proper OS for you to use. And I know where to go to get it."

"Where?"

"NASA."

Erica stared in shock before she stood up. "Absolutely not! Imagine how they would react if they found out it was ORB who was after the OS! They would be absolutely furious with us, not to mention they would attack us just to get it back!"

Heero just stood up and proceeded to leave. "I will get that OS, whether they want me to or not, and whether you want me to or not."

With that, he left.


NASA, West Coast…

Three hours later…

Heero flew low to the water as Wing Zero sped towards the west coast of NASA. "Target base in range…twenty miles and closing…"

Wing Zero's eyes flashed, Heero slowing down. "I know, Zero. But it is a risk we have to take, considering the situation we are now in. Plus…we need to repay the Archangel somehow, and this is the best way we can so far."

"Ten miles and closing…"

On shore, people were running to their machines, boarding them and powering up the systems as the unknown machine reached their shores. Heero flew overhead, turning Wing Zero to its main form from jet form as he came in to land. Scanning the ground below and around him, Heero was surprised to find tanks instead of mobile suits.

"Odd…I was told that NASA had mobile suits, not tanks…" He murmured before a voice he knew all too well came into his head. *Enemy behind.*

Whirling, Heero pulled out his beam saber and brought it down, just in time to block a pink beam saber held by a…tank-like…mobile…suit…! Jumping upwards, Heero avoided having Wing Zero's legs sliced off. "Now I see…their tanks are their mobile suits…" he mused as his eyes narrowed.

"Attention unknown mobile suit! Surrender at once, or we will be forced to open fire. Repeat, surrender at once, or prepare to be fired upon!" a man's voice barked over his com-line. Cutting off the com-system, Heero just pulled out the Buster Rifle and fired a low-powered shot. The blast missed three tank-mechs, but it made them move back in wariness.

Heero landed Wing Zero, only to get into a defensive stance. The trio of tank-mechs ran at him, but Heero opened fire with the shoulder-mounted Gatling guns. Bullets struck the machines, but did little damage. One however, lost an arm to the barrage as the bullets hit the joint section.

"So…the joints are vulnerable…" Heero noted before he ducked behind Wing Zero's shield. A powerful cannon blast hit the defensive piece of equipment, the force trying to push Wing Zero back into a wall. The blast subsided, revealing a still intact shield, which moved to reveal the Gundam unharmed.

"Damn him…" a pilot snarled as he got ready to do a charge into the unknown assailant. "He's going down!"

In a single move, the tank-mech pulled out its beam saber, ignited the blade and thrust the sword towards the enemy. Heero pulled Wing Zero's own beam saber and ignited the green blade before bringing the blade up to counter the thrust. Pink met green as the two clashed, throwing heat into the air between the two machines.

With a grunt, Heero pulled out the other beam saber and ignited it before bringing it down on the other machine's pink one. Using the dual blades, Wing Zero forced the tank-mech to move back before breaking the sword fight off. The tank-like machine landed not too far from the Gundam, eyeing it warily. Heero pulled out the Twin Buster Rifle before firing at the machine's legs. Jumping back, the enemy machine avoided the beam, only to meet the beam saber of Wing Zero in mid-air. Slashing quickly, Heero sliced off the arms and right leg, forcing the machine to land on its back with a THUD.

Moving back from the damaged machine, Heero was quick to note the other machines coming at him from two sides. Storing the Buster Rifle, he pulled out the other beam saber and brought up both green blades to counter the dual beam sabers that came at him. Both sabers sparked as the two machines tried to get at him. Heero ignited Wing Zero's engines, their protective coverings opening up just as a small dust storm was kicked up. Using that to his advantage, Heero took out the arms of one machine while the other lost its legs. Both machines either moved back or pulled itself away from him as others began to come out of hiding.

As the tank-machines came out of the buildings around him, Heero backed away into a secluded area. Kneeling Wing Zero, he proceeded to use the Zero System to hack into their computer systems. It took only a matter of minutes, but soon he had the OS that NASA used for their machines.

"Time to leave, Zero…" he murmured as he pulled back from the base. Transforming Wing Zero into its jet form, Heero sped away, mission accomplished. The repercussions stemming from the little…'incursion'…ORB would have to deal with to the best of their ability.


ORB, Morgenroete

Three hours later

Erica could not believe that she was staring at a NASA-developed OS, let alone one that was used by Naturals no less. Her eyes flicked over the OS that the Earth Forces had developed, then back to the NASA-developed OS. There were some big differences, one of which was that the NASA OS actually worked. "I can't believe this…I just can't…" she murmured.

Heero stood beside her, his machine in the research area as well. Of course it was off-limits, but that was of little importance. What really mattered was that they now had a NASA-developed OS! The young Natural looked at the screen, his eyes taking in the huge differences between the two.

"The Earth Forces-developed OS and this one have some disturbing differences." Heero noted.

The woman beside him nodded in agreement. "Looking at this one from NASA, it seems that the Earth Forces almost…wanted to have their pilots lose…" she agreed.

Heero narrowed his eyes at this. "A Natural-based OS is supposed to be difficult to develop? Hardly…If NASA can do it, then the Earth Forces should be able to do it with no trouble, considering their size and the fact that they have the resources from so many different nations at their disposal."

Erica looked at him before turning back to the OS. "If what you said is true…then it would seem that someone wants the Earth Forces to lose, or rather, the Earth Forces want the planet to fall to war, leading to anarchy…"

"War only breeds pain and sorrow. If the Earth Forces want to end the war, then why do they not develop an actual working OS? It seems that they are banking on something…something big if I am right…"

"Hmmm….that could be true."

"Hn."

Silence reigned as the two looked at the dual OSs side by side. One that worked, and one that didn't. And that was what bothered Erica the most…


7th Fleet, ZAFT Gibraltar Base…

Akira was walking around the base, his hands behind his head as he entered the dock where the ships were held. He was not paying attention though, as his mind was elsewhere, mainly on if remaining with ZAFT was worth it. To him, it seemed like it was, but with the way things were going, he was unsure now.

Things were silent except for the sounds of workers maintaining the ships of the 7th Fleet. That is until a rumbling rocked the base, causing people to fall off of their work stations and crew members to fall to the floor, Aki' among them.

The red coat hit the ground, making his head erupt in pain from the impact. Akira looked up, one eye squinted shut as he glanced around. Alarms were blaring, which was not a good sign. What had happened out there?


Tao was walking to where her father was located, which was in one of the main buildings. The white coat was unsure of what her father wanted to talk to her about. As these things went around in her head, the Coordinator was unaware of the box outside the building.

She entered the main command building, her father waiting for her. "Tao, I see you made it." Commander White remarked as his daughter stood at attention in her white uniform.

"Yes, sir. You had something to talk to me about?"

Her father nodded. "I do. In fact, it has to do with the whole fleet. And if it involves the 7th, then it is not good most of the time."

Tao nodded, unsure of where he was going with this. "Yes, but what are you getting at?"

Commander White sighed before looking at his daughter. "It comes from the 11th Fleet. You see, Le Creuset is up to something, and I fear it may be far worse than we had been expecting, considering what we are fighting for."

His daughter stared at him. "Are you saying that Le Creuset is planning something big, and it is concerning to even NASA?"

Before Commander White could answer, there was a small beeping outside the building. Coming from the unknown box, it got faster and faster until a loud beep was heard. Then, a flash followed by the shockwave. Tao and her father were not so lucky. Sensing the incoming danger, Commander White shoved his daughter to the ground, shielding her with his own body as well as a table.

The blast rocked the whole base, making people fall to the ground with the concussion blast that followed. Screams were heard as flames danced around the main command center. Inside, there were countless more victims, some alive, others not so lucky.

Tao sat up, stunned and dazed by the blast. Something wet slithered down the side of her face by one of her eyes. Reaching up to touch it, she pulled her hand away as pain erupted at the site. Red liquid that she knew to be blood was coating her hand. Looking around, the injured white coat saw flames leaping about, and in the middle of it all was a still form that she knew all too well.

Getting to her feet, Tao stumbled, nearly falling back to the ground. A dizzy feeling overcame her, but she pushed past it to reach the form on the ground. Her father was burned badly, second and third degree burns covering fifty percent of his body. Blood ran down his face, his uniform torn and tattered. Spots of flesh were revealed underneath the partially singed fabric that was black in those areas. His commander's hat was aflame next to him.

His daughter reached him, just as he groaned. "Unnhh…"

Glazed blue-grey eyes locked with wide-frightened blue-grey ones. Tao could see her father was badly injured, if not fatally. "Father…please just hold on…the medics are on their way…"

The older man shook his head slowly. "No…they are not…not….for us…"

A shake from Tao's head did little to ease his pain. "No…that is not true…they will come for us…"

Commander White coughed violently, startling Tao. She reeled back with shock as blood flew from her father's mouth. "You…have to…*cough cough* …leave ZAFT…It is…*hack*…not safe here…"

Tao stared at him in shock and confusion. Leave ZAFT? But why, and where would the fleet go? "Why, father? Why should we leave ZAFT?"

Her father just coughed again, trying to get his breath. "Le Creuset…bad…*hack cough*…news…"

"Stop father! You need to save your energy!" Tao pleaded. But her father did not listen.

"Leave now…*cough*…"

Outside Tao could hear voices. Raising her own voice, she called out to the personnel heading their way. "HEY! IN HERE! HELP!"

"A bomb went off?!" one voice asked. It was a female officer.

"Yes, and apparently the 7th Fleet commander was in there when it did." A male officer replied.

A grunt from the female officer was heard. "It would seem that he planned a suicide attack. How typical of the 'Maverick Fleet'."

Tao could not believe what she was hearing. Her father, a suicide bomber?! She looked at his still form, barely breathing.

"Father, did you…"

A small smile reached his lips. "Would I…"

In an instant, Tao knew that he was not responsible. He was her own father. He would never harm her or anyone else. "No…you wouldn't…" she replied, tears now in her eyes.

"Leave ZAFT…*cough cough cough hack*…now…fight back…and…win…you…are…now…in…command…" With those last words, Commander Change White of the 7th Independent Mobile Fleet, lost his life. Tao stared at her father's limp body, unable to believe what happened. Tears streamed down her face, and hit her father's body, but it did not move.

Tao gritted her teeth and her fists clenched. Her eyes were hidden by her black hair, her right side bloody from her head injury. Unable to hold back her anguish, Tao threw her head back and let out a primal yell of loss and sadness. Bowing her head again, the white coat clenched her fists in front of her.

"Whoever did this…whoever took his life…will pay…" she murmured, looking up. Her eyes were dilated and glazed over. "I swear it!"


ORB, Morgenroete…

Heero sat beside Erica as she compared the data from the Strike, Raven, and Z.A.M. Gundams with that of the OS from NASA and the one from the Earth Forces. The first two were open and the data was being analyzed.

"I can't believe it…the data from the Strike, Raven, and Z.A.M. Gundams matches that of the NASA-developed OS. The OS does work!" she exclaimed as the data scrolled across the screen. The not used Earth Forces OS was on another screen, the data points highlighted.

Her companion just grunted once. "Hn."

Erica looked back to the Earth Forces-use OS. "The Earth Forces purposely made the OS they developed incapable of being used by normal humans…"

She did not have to finish that thought. Either the Earth Forces wanted to lose, or they had something big planned, something that required the OS having those settings.

And the thoughts racing around in her head were not good at all…


Washington D.C…

President Hilson looked up as an aide came into the room. "Hmm?" The aide was panting as he held a report in one hand, right at her.

"We…*pant pant*…have a…*pant*…a problem…ma'am…" the man panted as he put the report on her desk. A file that she had hoped would never arrive sat on her desk before her. 'Commander White…dead?!'

Shock filled her body, but she had expected such a thing to occur. Then again, he had accepted the mission knowing that there was a possibility that he could die. Still, to have it occur so soon was troubling on so many levels it was not funny.

The U.S. leader set the files down before looking at the aide. "Do…do you know how…"

A shake of his head confirmed what the president had suspected. There was no evidence as to how the ZAFT commander had met his fate and as such, no clues either. Putting a hand under her face, she ruled out Blue Cosmos, so that left the Wu faction of ZAFT as possible suspects.

"Well, it would seem that Hong Fa Wu is up to something…" she mused before the aide pointed to the report again.

"Um…there is something else that you should read ma'am…"

Looking at the aide with a curious expression, she picked up the report and flipped to the page he had been pointing at. "What…?! The Earth Alliance did WHAT?!" she snarled as she slammed the report down on the desk. President Hilson clenched her fists in anger as she gritted her teeth. "Damn them…"

She looked up, her eyes hard with hatred for the Earth Alliance. "They will pay…" she growled as she looked back slowly. "We cannot support such actions if that is how the EA operates…"

Walking back towards the door, the president faced the aide. "As of right now, we are not sending the Earth Alliance any aid for the war efforts against ZAFT. If they are willing to use a, unarmed person, a civilian no less, as a bargaining chip, then they are not deserving of such aid from anyone, including us." President Hilson said as the aide looked into her green eyes.

"Yes, ma'am."

With that, the U.S. leader left the room, closing the door behind her. As she walked down the hall to the motorcade that was waiting, the president looked down, her eyes hidden by her hair.

No one knew the truth, mainly the Earth Alliance. If they were willing to use innocents as pawns, then they did not deserve anyone's help, much less that of the U.S. and NASA…


Washington D.C., British Embassy…

An hour later…

The British Prime Minister sat in the Embassy building as President Hilson walked into the room. On his left was a man with blonde hair in a blue suit. The man had an air of confidence about him, an air that threw the president for a loop.

"Ah…President Marie Hilson. What a surprise." The British leader purred as she sat down not too far from him.

"Shut it and get to the point already. You didn't just fly all the way out here just to talk trivial. So spill it." The U.S. leader replied.

The Prime Minister's guest just chuckled. "Straight to the point and blunt. That's not something that is seen in many politicians today." He mused.

President Hilson glared at him. "So? What's it to you?"

Prime Minister Sheron Winslow looked at the president with a look in his brown eyes that was more scolding than it was anger. "That is not nice to say to my…ah…I mean…our guest, now is it?"

President Hilson gaped before she shook her head. "No, it wasn't. And frankly, I have been under a lot of stress as of late, so you'll have to forgive me."

The man who was the guest then spoke up. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Director Muruta Azrael of Logos Enterprises, and a huge supporter of the Earth Alliance."

President Hilson's eyes widened in shock as the name struck home. The man before here was Director Azrael?! The U.S. leader then stood up, instantly on guard. "What are you doing here?!" she demanded.

The director was not fazed by her actions. "I am simply here to offer you an alliance with my company. You see, with the way the war with the Coordinators is going, we will need all the help we can get, and you are the only ones who can provide it."

President Hilson let a growl out before she sat down. "So…you wish to enlist the help of NASA to fight the Coordinators? What about those living in NASA and New Juneau? How can we be sure that you will not try and attack our nation?" she inquired.

"You can't." The man replied.

That made the president's eyes narrow. "So…you're asking me to place my trust in the Earth Alliance to not attack us when there is no way to insure that you won't? I'm sorry, but I can't do that. If you threaten the Coordinators, then you are threatening other human beings!"

Director Azrael did not change his expression, but the president could sense that he was angered by her response. "Then you are traitors to all Naturals." He replied.

President Hilson was shocked as her eyes widened before she stood up, slamming her hands on the table. "We are traitors to all Naturals?! I'm sorry, but you are the traitors to all Naturals, not us! And you have the audacity to call us traitors?! Forget the alliance, and forget receiving any further aid from NASA! As of right now, your aid is cut off until this war is over!"

The blonde-haired man growled, but refused to move. "You are certainly a stubborn one, and a very stubborn woman no less. Frankly, I am surprised that the United States has allowed someone like you into the office of President of the United States."

"I am not leaving office just so you can force my country into an alliance that will only submit us to your control!" President Hilson snarled back. Director Azrael then stood up, took off his glove, and, in a move that stunned everyone in the room, slapped the most powerful woman in the world across the cheek!

"That should teach you to never talk back to a man." He replied as he put his glove back on in a casual manner, like it had never even happened. Looking up, President Hilson had a big red mark on her face, but in her eyes was a look, not of submissiveness, but of hatred and insult.

In a rage, the president stood up and ran at the powerful person before her. Tackling the director to the ground, the U.S. leader drew back a fist and punched him right in the mouth. Two more punches to his face, one to an eye, and one to his nose, followed the first one. Then, to further insult Director Azrael, she kicked him where it hurt a male the most. A high-pitched squeal escaped the man as he clutched at that area.

Many stared as the U.S. president walked away, leaving her victim behind. "That…was for insulting me and my nation…" she murmured as her voice dropped low. "You…are the traitors, not us…but if you are willing to call me a traitor, then that is fine. But just so you know, you have no idea of what you are up against…"

With her leaving the room, many were able to guess that the meeting was over before it even began. And that was not a good sign at all…


Chapter complete. Yes, Heero does attack NASA in this chapter, but it was to get their OS for ORB's use only. Commander White is dead, but the 7th Fleet is not without a commander. New Juneau is revealed to be far different than the other PLANTs, and let's just say that Muruta Azrael is going to regret his actions later on. ;)

I have over two thirds of the story done, and I can't wait to get to the JOSH-A fight, as it will be much different than the original in both canon, and in Seed: A Retelling.

Anyway, constructive criticisim is appreciated, as are reviews. Flames will be reported and/or deleted depending on if they are signed or not. Keep reading and reviewing! ^^
