SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 11 out, this is Chapter 12 of this fic and the start of Season Two. (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: Tieria/Sasha between Season One and Season Two. Allelujah/Marie and Lockon (Jr.)/Anew in 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 12: The Angels' Second Advent

Four Years later after Operation Fallen Angels...

"It's confirmed." Mileina informed Tieria. "The Federation's new space cruiser is headed towards Lagrange 4."

"It's just like Wang Liu Mei reported." Ian added. "Maybe this will..."

"I'm going out in Seravee." Tieria cut off the father and daughter.

"Roger that." Ian grinned.

"He'll come." Tieria opened the launching hatch to reveal the Seravee Gundam. "If he's alive, I know he'll come."

On Colony Proud...

A lone figure snuck into the colony via a side hatch. Is it being targeted? Setsuna wondered, recalling the floating debris of the destroyed Katharon forces. This place, too? Shorting out the support backpack of one of the colony's guards, he held the detained sentry hostage. "What 'operation'?" he demanded, having overheard the guards' conversation.

"I don't know." the captured guard stammered, seeing the handgun in Setsuna's hand. "We were just given orders to evacuate."

"What the..." Setsuna proceeded to leave when he felt the colony's defenses activate to attack the incoming Katharon rescue units.

In response, the A-LAWs sent in their own mobile suits to take out the Katharon members.

Setsuna arrived at the worksite, only to find the workers under attack by the A-LAWs' automaton robots. "Anti-personnel weapons?" he frowned. "The A-LAWs must be doing this." activating Exia, he moved into action. "Get back!" he barked at a quivering Saji, opening fire at an automaton robot to stall it, before taking it out with explosive gel. "Are you all right?" he asked.

"I don't believe it." Saji was shocked at his rescuer. "Could you be... Setsuna F. Seiei?"

"And you're... Saji Crossroad." Setsuna recognized his former neighbor. "We're going." he pulled Saji off before they came under attack by another automaton. "Your helmet." he advised Saji as he slid on his helmet's visor, the pair now arriving at the open side door Setsuna initially entered from.

Saji's eyes widened when the doors slid open to reveal the battered Exia.

Outside Colony Proud...

"Captain, above us!" Araga warned, his GN Lance was cut off by Exia's GN Sword.

"That's a..." Barack Zinin growled, recognizing the mobile suit.

"Gundam..." in her GN-XIII, Louise gasped. "My head..." she started to hyperventilate.

"So, it's Celestial Being, isn't it?" Barrack dodged Exia's GN Vulcan fire. "Why do you have to appear again now?" he barked, blocking Exia's sword with his GN Shield.

"I'll eliminate you all by myself!" Setsuna swatted Barrack off and charged in.

"You may be a Gundam, but you're a model from five years ago." Barrack maneuvered himself out of harm's way, losing his GN Shield in the process. "You're no match for my Ahead."

"Unit Three, covering fire." Araga backed his commander up. "What's wrong, Warrant Officer Halevy?" he shouted over the communications, receiving no response from Louise.

"Never mind." Barrack told his subordinate. "The two of us can handle this. I lost a lot of friends because of you bastards." he pulled out his beam saber. "And this is my chance..." he struck Exia's GN Shield. "To avenge their deaths." parrying Exia off, he sliced the GN Shield into half. "Your time in this world has already ended!" he whipped out his second beam saber and sliced both Exia's arms off.

"I've got you now, Gundam." Araga moved in for the final blow when Seravee's double GN Cannon intervened, taking out Araga's unit.

Tieria then fired off all four of his GN Cannons and forcing Barrack to focus his attention on Seravee.

"Gotcha!" Barrack moved behind Seravee to attack it from behind, only for Seraphim to activate its GN Field and blocking off the beam saber.

"We're withdrawing." Barrack pulled a retreat. "Warrant Officer Halevy. Unit Three, respond immediately. Damn it." he cursed and shot off to retrieve Louise's unit.

"I figured you'd be tracking the A-LAWs' activities." Tieria turned to his former teammate. "Long time no see, Setsuna F. Seiei."

"Tieria Erde?" Setsuna gawked.

On the Ptolemaios Two's bridge...

"Erde-san has located Exia." Mileina reported.

"Setsuna, so you really were on Proud." Feldt smiled.

"Miss Wong's info was right on the money!" Mileina cheered.

"I bet he'd be surprised to see you on the helmsman seat, Sasha." Feldt looked at the aquamarine clad young woman.

"I would imagine so." Sasha laughed, tugging at her one-piece thigh-length dress.

In Colony Proud's hanger...

"It's been four years, but there's something very different about you." Tieria started, both Meisters stood face-to-face.

"On the other hand, you haven't changed one bit." Setsuna countered. "You're the same as you were then."

"Setsuna F. Seiei!" Saji snapped. "Have you always been that Gundam's pilot? Answer me."

"Yes." Setsuna nodded.

Then, you were involved in the armed interventions five years ago." Saji accused.

"Yes, I was." Setsuna confirmed.

"Do you know what you have done?" Saji glared. "Many people died because of what you did. And it was your fault. Because of you guys... the person I loved... her entire family was murdered! The only family I had left was my sister, but she... she crossed paths with Celestial Being and she was killed, too. I lost Louise and my sister! They're both gone now! Say something!" he demanded. Moving forward, he snatched Setsuna's handgun and pointed it at Exia's pilot.

In one of Ptolemaios Two's cell-rooms...

"Why didn't you shoot Setsuna?" Tieria asked the imprisoned Saji.

"Killing someone would make me the same as you guys." Saji answered. "That's the last thing I want."

"You should be grateful to Setsuna." Tieria informed. "If he hadn't brought you along with us, you would have been executed as a member of the Anti-Federation group, Katharon."

"That's ridiculous!" Saji snapped.

"You are blind to the way things really are." Tieria rebuked. "Take a close look with your own eyes at the world you live in."

Sometime later, on Earth...

"Are you the one who called me here?" Lyle Dylandy heard footsteps behind him.

"You're Lyle Dylandy, a member of Katharon." Sasha voiced.

"Are you from Security?" Lyle turned.

"We've come to pick you up." Sasha stated. "My name is Sasha Peacecraft and this is Setsuna F. Seiei." she gestured to Setsuna beside her. "He's a Gundam Meister from Celestial Being. And you too, are to become a Gundam Meister, Lyle Dylandy, no, Lockon Stratos.
