SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 4 out, this is Chapter 5 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Pairings: Officially, Allelujah/Marie in Season Two. Tieria gains a somewhat romantic attraction to Anina/Sasha between Season One and Season Two.

Standard BS Disclaimers: I do not own Sailor Moon, Gundam 00 or the pairings. If I did, the other Senshi would be as powerful as Sailor Moon and kicking MOTD ass more often and VEDA would have least an anti-hacker program installed. The only thing I do own is the plot.

Chapter 5: Blade of Reformation

At the UN assembly hall in New York...

"To counter the repeated acts of vicious terrorism perpetrated by Celestial Being, the Union, the Human Reform League, and the AEU will form a military alliance." the reporter on site announced.

"We will conduct military action under the supervision of the United Nations for the purpose of destroying Celestial Being." the alliance representative made the official statement.

With the Ptolemaios Meisters situated on Earth...

"So, we've finally cleared the first stage of the plan." Lockon noted. "Though, I'm a bit uneasy with the fact that it was the Trinity's actions that triggered this."

"But, we still have a mystery." Tieria pointed out. "The Trinities, according to Sasha Peacecraft's plans, inflicted serious damage to the military bases of many of these counties. In their condition, even if they united their armies, they couldn't have done anything about that. The public will only react with despair."

"There's something else behind this." Setsuna agreed. "A coded transmission from Sumeragi Lee Noriega." he opened his communicator, the other two Meisters doing the same. "All Meisters are to return to the Ptolemaios with their machines."

"Okay, mission briefing." Lockon informed. "Back to space."

On the Ptolemaios...

"So, what do we do now?" Lasse asked, after Christina turned off the broadcast.

"We'll see what the UN does first." Sumeragi answered.

"Knowing you, you've already made a forecast, right?" Ian guessed.

"In any event, we should prepare for whatever we can while we still have the time." Sumeragi stated. "Ian, would you mind taking Lasse and picking up the GN Arms?"

"The GN Arms have been rolled out?" Lasse grinned as he exited the briefing room with Ian.

"Just one of them for now." Ian added.

"The remaining members will help retrieve the Gundams that are coming up right now." Sumeragi instructed.

The next day...

Outside Laguna Harvey's second home, Kinue Crossroad met up with the disguised Ali al-Saachez, and had taken a ride in the ruthless mercenary's car.

"It's a good thing hime had us shadow her." Taka remarked, the two operatives landing soundlessly beside the gravely wounded Kinue who had been shot by Ali in a dark alleyway.

"I'll call the hospital." Tsuru stepped off to make the call. "Taka, make sure she doesn't bleed to death. Hello..."

In space...

Both Alejandro and Ribbons were taking off in a shuttle from the Union's space station.

"Alejandro-sama, I really don't see the need for you to accompany me in person." Ribbons remarked.

"This is information that you went out of your way to obtain." Alejandro reminded. "I'd like to take a look at it myself. Besides, this has been an ardent wish of the Corner Family for a very long time."

"Alejandro-sama, or rather, your whole family, I take it you've been planning to interfere with this project for many generations."

"Exactly." Alejandro grinned. "But as long as VEDA and the Peacecrafts existed, there was nothing we could do. And then, one day, purely by chance, an angel descended before me. I'm talking about you, Ribbons Almark."

"I will repay you for taking me in and treating me so well." Ribbons replied.

"But I didn't expect you to find the location of the main system." Alejandro noted.

"I apologize that it took so long." Ribbons voiced.

"Ribbons, you truly are my angel." Alejandro declared.

In the Trinity's African base...

"Princess just sent us a coded message." Johann informed his younger siblings. "Looks like Alejandro Corner took the bait. And it seems Ribbons Almark is with him."

"That bastard..." Michael sneered. "He left us to die; if it wasn't for Sasha-hime..."

"Isn't it why we swore our loyalty to her?" Nena reminded, recalling the 'Vendetta Oath' Anina had sworn against the Corner Family once it was made known they were the one of the main instigators behind the Russian Moskva Space Colony.

"Get ready to return to space." Johann instructed.

On the Infinity...

Anina lounged in the commander's chair and contacted the team of assassin operatives she had monitoring the Corner Family. "Captain." she voiced. "Commence 'Operation Interior Rat Betrayal'."

"At once." the squad leader responded.

Anina leaned back on the chair and let the rattling of the machine guns wash over her, indicating that the siege on the Corner Family estate has began. "And then there were None." she whispered, knowing the effiency of her assassin squad.

On the Ptolemaios...

"What's our situation?" Lockon asked, floating in with Setsuna and Tieria.

"No change as of yet." Sumeragi replied.

"Team Trinity has just returned to the Infinity." Allelujah supplied. "It appears Anina Levin summoned them back."

"Sumeragi-san, we just received a coded message from Levin-san." Christina reported.

"Feldt, open it." Sumeragi instructed.

"Alejandro Corner intends to hijack Aeolia Schenberg's Plan and make himself ruler of the world." Feldt read the decoded message. "It has been his Family's long-life ambition to bring the world under their heel. Now that he has the exact coordinates of VEDA's main system, he will gain control of VEDA for his own purposes and this is something I cannot allow. I have included VEDA's coordinates in this message; it is entirely up to Sumeragi-san to determine your crew's next course of action. It matters not if the Ptolemaios decides to aid us in this endeavor, as I have every intention to face Alejandro Corner directly, in person."

"It's obvious what we should do." Sumeragi told her crew. "Set course to the coordinates Anina Levin sent us."

On the Moon's secret base...

"This way, Alejandro-sama." Ribbons led Alejandro into VEDA's main system. Activating his quantum brain waves, he opened the door to reveal VEDA's true form; a large computer sphere.

"So, this is VEDA." Alejandro crowed. "This is Aeolia Schenberg. And the system that is the heart of Celestial Being."
