Universal Era Timeline:

---

2203:

- Fossils fuels are running low worldwide with worsening environmental problems. Overpopulation continues to become a major issue with a growing lack of natural resources. World War Three occurs on a grand scale worldwide from Asia to the Americas and Europe. The Type S Influenza outbreak occurs.

2211:

- World War Three formally ends with numerous peace treaties written between numerous countries and factions.

- The first space colony is created as a measure in combating overpopulation. At the same time, the human space colonization program is announced.

2216:

- George Glenn was born in the United States of America.

2220:

- Aeolia Schenberg proposes the use of the combined Orbital Elevator and photovoltaic energy system to solve the lack of energy with the dwindling of fossil. The level of technology available at the time of publication is not advanced enough to realize the project, his theory receives little public attention.

2260:

- While working on the concept of orbital space elevator, Aeolia also works on the development of humanoid machines when he came in contact with an unknown anti-terrorist group before Aeolia started to work with them. It is before the actual production of mobile suits. So historically, he can be viewed as its inventor. In Aeolia's journals, he would call this organization "M", based on the first letter in its name. No one knows what the name of this supposed anti-terrorist group is since government, defense and military officials knew of a covert anti-terrorist group that had long died with the end of the Cold War.

2264:

- Aeolia Schenberg dedicates his life to the advancement of space later disappears from public view. It is speculated that he had settled on another planet and died there, though it is never confirmed.

The HRL, MEU and the NAU also announce that they side with the PLANT and Zeon, except that they offer political support and no military support. Orb and the Sanc Kingdom, on the other hand, have released press statements to express their neutrality throughout the war. The USSA has stated that they will have limited cooperation with OMNI. This does not stop any of their nationals from leaving their territory to enlist with OMNI/ZAFT/Zeon forces.

- OMNI declares war towards the UOS, HRL, MEU and the NAU. But they don't send in military forces towards their territory as OMNI officers say that it's just a waste of time and instead, take the fight to ZAFT and Zeon.

UE 0065.01.15:

- Thanks to OMNI special forces, who had disguised themselves as Zeon soldiers, and double agents in the Zeon military and the Zeon Public Peace/Zeon Public Safety Department, General Revil was able to escape back to Earth. News of General Revil's escape reaches the negotiators in Antarctica. After Revil makes a worldwide broadcast from the United Nations, claiming that the Principality of Zeon and the PLANT has exhausted their fighting strength, OMNI decides to opt for a more limited wartime treaty rather than a genuine peace accord. This became known in history as the "Zeon and PLANT are exhausted" speech.

- OMNI, PLANT and the Principality of Zeon conclude the Antarctic Treaty. Although there was some hostility from PLANT and Zeon negotiators due to the attacks on their agricultural space colonies, they agreed with OMNI to ban the use of nuclear weapons, colony drops and other tactics of mass destruction, and guarantees the neutrality of Side 6, the lunar cities and nations that would not side with OMNI or with the PLANT/Zeon.

UE 0065.01.16:

- The United States of South America announced that they will only assist OMNI forces if Zeon/ZAFT forces attack their territory.

UE 0065.02.19:

- OMNI launch "Operation V," a crash program to develop mobile suits and carrier ships, and the "Vinson Plan," to rebuild their space fleet. The creation of "Operation V", and later the G Project, was due to Rear Admiral Lewis Halberton's essay. He wrote that unless OMNI create a mobile suit force that can counter the mobile suits used by the PLANT and the Principality of Zeon, OMNI and the United Nations will be defeated even before the OYBW ends.

UE 0065.02.20:

- ZAFT and Zeon forces begin operations to take control of mass drivers in the Atlantic Federation, European Federation, Republic of East Asia and the South African Union.

Cockpit, GAT-X105 Strike Gundam

---

Kira was now with Murrue in the Strike Gundam, watching the woman move the mobile suit all the way to the outskirts of the Morgenroete Heliopolis Factory, seeing the chaos that was now taking place. He has the MMI-made submachine gun slinged at his back so that he would space to move around the cockpit.

Then again, most cockpits don't have much anyway for a person to move around in the first place.

Not good. ZAFT GINNs are going to make short work of the Mistrals and the Realdos.

"At least I got this mobile suit to move." Murrue murmured as she worked the controls of the Strike Gundam. "Better to save it than letting ZAFT commandos blow this thing up sky high."

Is this woman going to pilot this mobile suit? Unless this has an OS compatible to allow anyone else to pilot it, I doubt that it can be ready for armed combat.

---

Outskirts of Morgenroete Heliopolis Factory, Heliopolis

---

Mark ran out of the Morgenroete Heliopolis Factory, now burning thanks to the chaos that took place initially inside. He met with Mir, Sai, Kuzzey and Tolle, who had gathered up near the outskirts of the Heliopolis Technical College after initially watching the GINNs attack inside the colony.

"Hey!" Mark shouted. "You guys okay?"

"W-where's Kira?" Mir asked the auxiliary officer, who was now quite frightened of their situation.

"Last I heard," Mark began to explain to Mir. "he's in a white mobile suit with an OMNI officer."

"An OMNI officer?" Tolle asked, completely taken by surprise. "But Orb's a neutral nation. And the Antartic Treaty's suppose to help guarantee that alongside most of the space colonies not siding with OMNI, the PLANT or the various Zeon factions!"

"Look!" Mark shouted at Tolle due to the explosions taking place around the colony. "There's no time to explain! Right now, we got to look for a good place to weather the storm until I can make contact with my fellow auxiliaries!"

"This way!" Sai offered to lead the group to a safe place away from the fighting.

---

Cockpit, GAT-X105 Strike Gundam

---

"Sai, Tolle, Kuzzey!"

Kira shouted, looking at the left monitor that showed his college friends running away from the Strike, being escorted safely by Mark.

Minutes, a GINN showed up in front of them. And behind it was the GAT-X303 Aegis.

"It's here..." Murrue whispered, sweating a bit in fear. "The Aegis."

The Aegis. Does that mean Athrun...

Kira blinked his eyes while massaging his temples, trying not to think hard that he was possibly fighting a friend who Kira had not seen for a long time since his days in Copernicus.

Dammit. The brown-haired teenager eyed the console in front of Murrue. I need to pilot this mobile suit or we're going to be both goners.

---

Underground Corridor, somewhere in the Morgenroete Heliopolis Factory, Heliopolis

---

A black-haired woman in white OMNI uniform was floating down the ruined corridors of Morgenroete's Heliopolis Factory, which had been the target of a ZAFT bombing raid minutes ago.

"W-what?" The woman blinked her eyes, seeing the corpse of a Caucasian man in his early 30s wearing Morgenroete employee uniform. She knew him, at least by face, that he was really an OMNI soldier from the MIB assigned to get the Archangel up and running as soon as all-clear was given to launch the ship secretly back to the moon.

"Oh god." The woman pushed the corpse away from her, remembering to pray in order to give the man's soul some closure. "The ship." She looked left and right. "Where's the Archangel?"

She floated down the corridor, thanks to the use of zero gravity. This allowed her to move around without getting tired. It became useful to her since zero gravity gave her more flexibility in moving around obstacles and debris that were getting in the way thanks to the multiple bombings launched on the colony.

"Hello?" The woman shouted at the top of her voice. "Is anyone around?"

When she received no answer, she sighed and decided to resume what she was around. Instead, the black-haired woman shouted louder than usual.

"Are there any survivors around?"

---

Cockpit, GAT-X303 Aegis

---

"Athrun, you made it!"

Athrun was greeted by Miguel via transmission from a GINN he used, not being able to sortie in his personal GINN due to needed repair.

"Say..." Miguel asked Athrun. "What happened to Rusty? Did you see him?"

"Rusty failed." Athrun replied immediately to Miguel's concern, which earned him a flat what on the blonde ZAFT Green before he asked him.

"H-how?"

"He was killed by an OMNI officer. And she's on board that white mobile suit in front of you."

Miguel gritted his teeth after hearing of Rusty's "fate" before he got his GINN to draw out its MA-M3 heavy sword. The blonde ZAFT Green tried to strike down the Strike, except that it used its arms to block it.

"What the?" Miguel was shocked to see the previously colorless mobile suit have a white finish. "What's with that armor? I can't hit it with my sword!"

"It's called Phase Shift Armor or PSA. If it's activated, any physical attack like the MA-M3 won't do any damage." Athrun advised Miguel after activating the Aegis' PSA, using the vulcans to take down an Orban Army jeep trying to intervene.

"You better go right now Athrun." Miguel gave his advise to Athrun on surviving in a colony battle. "You already got the mobile suit already, so there's no reason for you to stick around."

Kira? Did I see Kira? The ZAFT Red pondered on whether he really saw Kira in the factory as he manipulated the reprogrammed Aegis to fly from the grounds of Heliopolis and away towards the awaiting Vesalius.

---

Underground Corridor, somewhere in the Morgenroete Heliopolis Factory, Heliopolis

---

The woman was greeted by a series of loud bangs from a nearby sliding door. She was a bit alarmed since she assumed everyone was suppose to be dead from the bombing raid.

Is that ZAFT?

The woman pondered, almost remembering to draw out her OMNI-issued sidearm. However, she had lost the weapon during the attack.

I don't know where my piece is... Probably now a part of the cluster of debris in this damn corridor.

After a few minutes of loud banging on the door, it opened up and an Asian-looking man in his mid 20s wearing the same white OMNI uniform.

"I'm Chief Petty Officer Arnold Neumann." The Asian man introduced himself. "Glad to see that someone survived from a while ago."

"Ensign Natarle Badgiruel." Natarle was in turn to introduce herself to Arnold. "Are there any survivors around here?"

"There should be." Arnold told Natarle, floating down the corridor alongside her. "Last I heard before we went to split up with some of them, we'd go look for anyone else alive before we'd go and secure the Archangel in case ZAFT commandos could possibly come back to finish the job if they get wind that the ship's still okay."

"Y-you know where it is?" Natarle frantically asked the CPO.

Arnold nodded. "Just follow me."

"Alright. Lead the way, Chief Petty Officer Neumann."

---

Bridge, ZMS Vesalius, somewhere near Heliopolis airspace, Space

---

"Quite splendid work, sir."

"Yes. I believe that the advantage is on our side, Ades."

Ades and Le Creuset complimented each other on the success of the Le Creuset team in nabbing four Morgenroete-made mobile suits out from Heliopolis.

"Strange." Le Creuset frowned after seeing the Aegis return back to the Vesalius last. "What happened to Rusty?"

"I'll go and ask." Ades went to check with the bridge crew while Le Creuset concentrated on his work at the tactical map table, studying for any routes where Titans ships could show up and block their way out from Orban territory.

The blonde ZAFT White officer could hear footsteps coming towards the tactical map table.

"Something wrong, Ades?"

"It's about Rusty, Commander."

"What of it?"

"He's been killed before he could secure one more Morgenroete-made mobile suit."

Le Creuset stayed silent, thinking of an appropriate response.

"Olor's GINN's been damaged in the fight and he should make it. He just picked up Miguel Aiman on the way with a laser beacon."

---

Bridge, Unknown Ship, somewhere near Heliopolis, Space

---

"Ms. Sumeragi."

Sumeragi heard one of the bridge crew call her name.

"Yes, what is it?"

"Got word from intelligence that the Titans were notified on the fighting going on in Heliopolis."

"Alright. Tell HQ that we got the message. Ask them if they have anything else on the Titans' response."

"Yes, ma'am."

---

Cockpit, TS-MA2mod.00 Moebius Zero, somewhere near Heliopolis, Space

---

"What the?"

Mu saw that the Vesalius had ordered any surviving GINNs to retreat back via flares. The blonde man thought that this was alarming, which had happened after he incapacitated a GINN by using the Moebius Zero's gunbarrels to destroy the mobile suit's right arm.

"My command ship's down, most of my wingmen and comrades are down for the count and I'm all alone in this place." The ex-OYBW veteran sighed. "I wonder what's life going to throw at me next?"

Mu frowned, feeling something like déjà vu or something.

"There's something else going on here." He piloted the Moebius Zero back towards Heliopolis. "But I can't get figure out what's going on..."

Unless it's Le Creuset.

The blonde Atlantic Federation native piloted the Moebius Zero, approaching a nearby port that was still open.

"If he's coming, that means I better get back before things will get worse."

---

Abandoned Park, somewhere in Heliopolis

---

Mark and the others have safely retreated back towards an abandoned park, absent of any life since most of the people in the colony have been ordered by the Heliopolis Detachment of the Orb Metropolitan Police Force to get inside any shelters due to the fighting in the colony by GINN mobile suits.

"Everyone fine?" Mark said, covering their backs as he shouldered his police-issued carbine.

"Aside from being tired," Kuzzey went to sit down at the nearest bench he can sit on. "I'm fine."

"Same." Sai took a seat next to Kuzzey.

"Yeah, I think we're all in agreement." Tolle said, helping Mir sit down at another bench.

"Better see if I can call for help." Mark went for the radio shoulder microphone clipped on his vest, pressing the speak button before the young Asian man spoke on it.

"This is Officer Mark Liu of the Orb Metropolitan Police Force. Badge number #20001402. I am requesting for immediate assistance in evacuating four civilians to any nearby shelter. Over."

---

Bridge, OMNIS Archangel, Underground Hangar, Morgenroete Heliopolis Factory, Heliopolis

---

Arnold pulled out his pistol after he entered the bridge, searching it for any hostiles. When he turned on the lights and saw that no one was inside, Arnold gestured to Natarle that it's safe to come in.

"The Archangel is quite the ship." Natarle said, admiring the bridge of the Orban-made warship. "Nothing like the Salamis-based ships OMNI has for its space fleet."

"I'm going to turn on the engines and everything." Arnold made a short run to the front, sitting down on one of the seats used for helmsmen.

"E-excuse me."

Natarle turned around and saw a few more white uniformed OMNI personnel entering the bridge.

"Is that everyone?"

"Yes, Ensign. I've rounded up everyone who I can find."

"And the maintenance crew?"

"All taken care of. They're at the hangar already working."

"Get to your stations." Natarle went to sit down at the command chair, noting that the ranks of the survivors were Petty Officer 2nd Class. "Just do what the computer tells you in case you're confused."

Jackie Tonomura. Dalida Lolaha Chandra II and Romero Pal. Glad to see more survivors aside from me and Neumann.

"Right! Understood!" The voice came from Romero, who placed himself at the Archangel's fire control systems.

---

Cockpit, GAT-X105 Strike Gundam

---

Murrue noted that Miguel's GINN was advancing towards the Strike, brandishing its MA-M3.

"Come on Natural!" The brown-haired OMNI officer could hear Miguel's voice via mobile suit external speakers, taunting her. "It's reality that you got a great looking mobile suit. But there's one thing that bothers me..."

The MA-M3's blade was used in a surprise attack towards the Strike, string near the head.

"That is... if you can get to barely move!"

Murrue and Kira gritted their teeth, feeling the aftershock of the Strike crashing into an abandoned building. Kira nearly collapsed on Murrue's lap, if it weren't for him restraining himself by holding onto the seat so that he wouldn't tumble.

That ZAFT pilot's got a point. The OMNI officer didn't have enough time to program this mobile suit so that it can move and fight back at least in unarmed combat... Unless it has weapons already available for deployment.

"Can you please move?" Kira asked Murrue if she could move from the seat.

"W-what?" Murrue said, confused by what Kira requested.

"I can see that the OS isn't complete yet. And if you keep staying here, both of us will eventually be killed. Please hurry!"

Murrue nodded and allowed Kira to sit down at the cockpit seat, the MMI submachine gun at his lap as he got the folded keyboard placed on top of his lap.

"Here goes." Kira said softly as he began to work on adjusting the Strike's OS. "Take the calibrations and reset the zero moment point and CPG. Then connect the control module directly to the molecular ion pump. Reconstruct the neural linkage network. Renew meta-active field, reactivate feed-forward controls, convey function…"

Whoa. He moves fast. I'm sure that he's a Coordinator. Murrue frowned. Unless he's some kind of secret weapon the Titans secretly let loose.

"Okay. Didn't take that long!" Kira shouted before he got the Strike to get up and punch the GINN by its head module. "Hell yeah! Eat this!"

Now I'm wondering if this kid's either a Titans supersoldier or he's a mobile suit junkie who played in the arcades...

---

Abandoned Park, somewhere in Heliopolis

---

Mark's attempt to transmit a distress call to the OMPF's Heliopolis Detachment was greeted by bursts of static, frustrating the auxiliary officer.

"Damn it." He tried again to transmit a message, only to be met with static again.

"Nothing?" Mir asked Mark, who was given a plastic bottle of water by Tolle.

"Yeah." Mark sighed. "Nothing but static."

"Most likely due to the ZAFT's jammers." Kuzzey told the auxiliary officer. "I wouldn't be surprised if they had a hand in this."

"Which'll made coordination of emergency services a bit harder." Tolle told Mark, backing up Kuzzey's answers.

"I know." Mark nodded. "For now, we'll need to stick together until then."

---

Cockpit, ZGMF-515 CGUE, en route to Heliopolis, Space

---

Le Creuset deployed out of the Vesalius without a pilot suit, which was met with some objection from the maintenance teams before he reminded them that he was in command of the Heliopolis team.

"Tell me," Le Creuset murmured from his cockpit seat. "do you feel my presence? Do you sense it in the way that I sense yours?"

The masked man grinned.

"An unfortunate fate, wouldn't you say... Mu La Flaga?"

The CGUE was now approaching the outskirts of Heliopolis, brandishing its MMI-M7S 76mm Heavy Assault Machine Gun.

"And now that you're here, you're mine."

---

Bridge, OMNIS Archangel, Underground Hangar, Morgenroete Heliopolis Factory, Heliopolis

---

"Don't you think that it's going to be a bit dangerous with your idea?"

Arnold began to object to Natarle that the Archangel should intervene, given that they have no idea if the attacks on Heliopolis will be backed by more ZAFT forces or even worse, by Axis Zeon forces.

"We don't have a full staff so that we can operate this ship. We're in no shape to engage in combat operations."

"I know that." Natarle glared at Arnold as power to the ship was being booted up. "It's better to move out of here and support our allies than just to sit here and wait for ZAFT commandos to attack this place again, given that the airwaves are still jammed."

Arnold sighed as he moved back to his seat.

Why couldn't I pick a better gig? Like Haiti or Jamaica... But no, I had to agree to this covert mission with the possibility of having a much more bigger salary in part due to the black ops nature of this operation.

"Besides, it's better if you move right now. Otherwise, we can't make this ship operable at all..."

---

Cockpit, GAT-X105 Strike Gundam

---

"Weapons?"

Kira went to check the Strike's weapon, which was only armed with Armor Schneider combat knives.

"Armor Schneiders?" Kira glared at the screen before he decided to manipulate the Strike in picking them up. "It's better than nothing."

The Coordinator moved in with the Strike, charging at the stunned GINN when it stood up after being previously punched. He was sure that Miguel was taken by surprise that the blades of the Armor Schneider knives pierced the mobile suit's shoulder joints, resulting in the shutdown of the GINN.

"Well... that was easy."

Murrue warned Kira that Miguel was evacuating from the GINN, using his booster pack to escape Heliopolis.

"Get away from the GINN! It's going to self-destruct!"

Kira was now manipulating the Strike to get the hell away from the GINN, but the explosion that came from the disable mobile suit was great enough that it made the Strike tumble on the ground.

"Ungh!" Kira groaned, hitting his head on the cockpit ceiling, rendering him out cold. He didn't know what happened to Murrue, but Kira hoped that she would still be alive.

---

Abandoned Park, somewhere in Heliopolis

---

"You guys stay here."

Mark told the others before running off towards another direction away from the park.

"W-where are you going?" Mir asked Mark, feeling scared from the situation.

"Going to get some help!"

---

Cockpit, TS-MA2mod.00 Moebius Zero, colony interior, somewhere in Heliopolis

---

As Mu navigated through the colony interior via space port, he noted from his instruments that a CGUE had been tailing him from the side.

"Bastard!" Mu hissed, getting the gunbarrels ready for a fight. "Is that you, Ra Le Creuset?"

The gunbarrels opened fire at Le Creuset's CGUE, who avoided them by using some of the colony's interior structure as a shield to block the gunshots meant for his mobile suit. When the CGUE was exposed, it opened fire with the M7S machine gun to take out two of them.

"Crap!" The blonde man yelled. "Doesn't he know that he's going to destroy Heliopolis in the long run?"

Mu manipulated the gunbarrels to hit the CGUE in the chest. However, it evaded like he knew the shots were coming in an instant. Instead, the gunbarrels struck part of the colony interior.

"Goddamn it! Hate it when he does that. Making me do some of the damage too..."

---

Alley, near Abandoned Park, somewhere in Heliopolis

---

Mark ran towards an alley near the abandoned park, crouching to take out a rectangular-shaped device from his tactical vest.

"Let's see if I can operate it." Mark booted the device and saw one word on the screen that frustrated him.

ERROR.

"Blast..." hissed the auxiliary officer. "I can't get a hold of the others."

He stored the device when he heard what he seemed to be an incoming mobile suit.

"ZAFT?" Mark murmured. "Or Axis Zeon? Regardless, I don't have weapons to take on an enemy mobile suit..."

---

Abandoned Park, somewhere in Heliopolis

---

Mark ran back to the park to see if Mir and the others were safe. To his relief, they were fine. But he saw them rushing towards the Strike, Sai and Kuzzey climbing onto the kneeling mobile suit with the cockpit hatch already opening.

"What happened?" Mark said, seeing Kira help bring down an unconscious Murrue with Sai and Kuzzey helping.

"They're bringing down that woman." Mir told the auxiliary officer. "It looks like she's out cold."

Mark nodded. "I see. I should be able to help get the wound fixed up at least until she can get to see a proper doctor."

Kira, Sai and Kuzzey walked fast as they can, getting to put down Murrue in an open bench seat.

"Let me have a look." Mark crouched next to Murrue and checked her pulse by the neck. "Don't worry. She's fine." He pointed at Kira. "You, on the other hand, will need to have some medical attention."

---

Bridge, OMNIS Archangel, Underground Hangar, Morgenroete Heliopolis Factory, Heliopolis

---

"How's it going?" Natarle asked Arnold and Jackie, the helmsmen in charge of operating the Archangel. The black-haired woman was informed that the power was beginning to get stable. Although...

"Not good." Jackie told Natarle, checking with his console. "It says we need 400 seconds to boost everything up, including the weapon systems."

Natarle sighed, placing her hand on her face before she told him. "It's no good. We don't have enough time." She then ordered. "See if you can get power from Heliopolis' electrical supply system. Use the conduits."

"Will do, ensign." Jackie nodded, working to get power from the colony to the ship's power online. "Drawing power from conduits to the ship's accumulators."

A few minutes later, Jackie saw that more than 390 seconds were shaved off, resulting in 10 seconds left before the Archangel would be fully operational.

"All right, ensign. We'll be fully operational in 20 seconds."

"Everything's beginning to get online." Dalila informed Natarle. "CIC, FCS, all the weapon systems are online. That also includes the the life support systems."

"Magnetic chamber and pallet dispenser..." Arnold went to double check his instruments before he informed Natarle. "Functioning and stable."

"Maintaining external impact damper at maximum output."

"Linking main power. Engine's now stable."

"All Archangel systems now stable." Jackie informed Natarle, giving the thumbs up. "Ship is now ready to launch."

Natarle nodded. "All right. Seal all airtight bulkheads. All hands, be prepared for sudden impact. This also includes possible damage to the ship."

"Understood!" The Petty Officers said in unison.

"Launch the Archangel." Natarle gave the order. "And remember to advance with caution."

Cockpit, TS-MA2mod.00 Moebius Zero, colony interior, somewhere in Heliopolis

Things were not doing well in Mu's favor. For the last few minutes, he had used the Moebius Zero's main linear gun alongside any surviving gunbarrels to take out Le Creuset's CGUE.

The masked ZAFT White officer had been far more elusive in the fight against the mobile armor pilot, taking out one of the two remaining gunbarrels by stepping on it hard while using its MA-M3 to slash another in half.

"Crap..." Mu murmured, who was now feeling the pinch. "Unless I do something here, I'm going to be outgunned by Le Creuset in Heliopolis without any backup."

Abandoned Park, somewhere in Heliopolis

Mark got Kira to sit down on another park as Mir and Tolle went to check up on the unconscious Murrue. Sai and Kuzzey examined the kneeling Strike, which didn't have any power.

"You're luck the bullet went through you, Kira." Mark sighed as he wrapped up Kira's wounds with a cloth to help stop the bleeding. "There ya go. Unless there's an infirmary later, I don't know how much longer this can hold."

"Thanks, man." Kira patted Mark's left shoulder in appreciation. "Means a lot."

Mark simply nodded.

"By the way, were you able to contact help?"

"No. ZAFT may be trying to jam everything. I can't even contact police HQ for god's sake."

"I see."

"I'll try again and see if I can contact the others for help. But given this situation..."

"Hey Mir!" Mark called for Mir to come and see him.

"Something the matter?" Mir asked Mark.

Mark nodded. "Yeah. Just keep an eye on Kira's wound, will ya? I tried to fix it up, but you may need to change the dressing in case the bleeding gets worse, okay?"

Mir replied to Mark's instructions. "Okay."

"I'll go and see if I can get more water for you guys. And I'll go call for him."

"Come back safely, okay?"

Mark gave the thumbs up. "Right."

Bridge, OMNIS Archangel, Underground Hangar, Morgenroete Heliopolis Factory, Heliopolis

The Archangel was now approaching the end of the hangar, which had been sealed off after ZAFT commandos had started their bombing raid on Morgenroete's Heliopolis Factory.

"We'll need to use the Lohengrin assault cannons." Romero advised Natarle. "The other weapons won't do us much good."

"I agree." Dalida gave his own assessment as well. "Two clean blasts from the assault cannons should do the trick."

"Get ready to have the assault cannons fire on my command." Natarle told the two men her instructions.

Abandoned Park, somewhere in Heliopolis

Murrue was a bit dizzy when he she slowly stood up. She was a bit confused as well, but alive.

"Glad to see you're with us."

She turned around to see Kira handing her a plastic bottle of water. "Here you'll probably need this."

"Thanks a lot." Murrue took the bottle from Kira and drank its contents. I guess I plan to ask that kid a few things. Like how was he able to fight those Greens off? Unless he had early national service and everything...

The brown-haired woman saw Sai and Kuzzey checking out the kneeling Strike. She knows that they were just teenagers, but Murrue had her orders to preserve the mobile suit's secrets.

"Dammit..." Murrue drew out her OMNI-issued sidearm and fired it once in the air.

"W-what's happening?" Mir covered her eyes with Tolle covering her body with his. Sai and Kuzzey immediately took cover by getting low behind a park bench. Kira crouched near the park bench he used to sit on.

"Everyone! I want all of you gathered here! Now!" Murrue gave her instructions, watching the college students in front of her.

"Now, I want all of you to give your names." Her sidearm was leveled at their chests to make a point.

"Kuzzey Buskirk."

"Sai Argyle."

"Miriallia Haw."

"Tolle Koenig."

"Kira Yamato."

"I'm Murrue Ramius of OMNI." Murrue introduced herself after hearing their names. "I gravely apologize. But as of now, I can't let any of you leave my sight since you were all witnesses to a secret mobile suit."

"Are you kidding me?" Kuzzey yelled in anger. "Who gave you the right to do that? We're all Orban nationals! You'll be hearing about this from our leaders..."

Murrue fired her sidearm in the air to keep Kuzzey quiet.

"Quiet!" The brown-haired woman shouted. "You think this is just easy when all of you are in a neutral nation, away from what's going on in reality?"

"My friend has a point, Ms. Ramius." Sai advised Murrue. "In fact, this does bring a lot of questions, especially with the presence of OMNI officers and enlisted personnel in Heliopolis..."

"In fact, I think some people may find that harsh, given our government's current stance." Tolle warned her.

"You think all of you can just hide behind the current of neutrality, given the current situation?" Murrue replied to Tolle and Sai's criticism. "Sure we're at peace right now, but it's inevitable that a conflict will start all over again given the actions of Axis Zeon and renegade factions of the PLANTs. Between Earth and the colonies. Naturals and Coordinators. All of you will have to accept it."

"Damn it." Kira gritted his teeth. "Now we're going to be dragged into this..."

"Now for the meantime..." Murrue told the students. "I'll need each and every one of you to work with me unless help can arrive." She eyed Sai and Kuzzey. "For starters, I'll need the two of you to secure a trailer from the Morgenroete factory. It's a number 5..."

Alley, near Abandoned Park, somewhere in Heliopolis

---

Just as Mark was about to use his communications device, he heard a couple of gunshots from the park.

"Shit..." He murmured, glancing from the corner to see that Murrue had aimed her sidearm at Kira and company before she holstered it. "What's that woman trying to do? Military discipline?"

The officer ducked back into the alley, trying to get the device working again.

"I just hope this works. Or we're all doomed."

However, his efforts failed when the device informed him that it's not working.

"Dammit... It's the jamming from the ZAFT vessels. No doubt about it."

---

Abandoned Park, somewhere in Heliopolis

"There you go, Kira."

Mir replaced the dressing placed on Kira's right shoulder, thanks to the emergency kit Mark left behind for her to use.

"Thanks, Mir." Kira thanked Mir. Nearby, Sai and Kuzzey had just returned from Morgenroete and parked the trailer truck next to the kneeling Strike. "Sorry I got you into this mess."

"No need to apologize." Mir insisted. "You're my friend and you being safe is all that matters."

Kira nodded. "All right."

"Kira." Murrue spoke to Kira, seated next to Mir. Unlike a while ago where she had an authoritative tone, the way Murrue spoke was a bit different. Like she was trying to sound gentle. "Can you use the Strike's radio to contact any OMNI forces?"

Kira sighed. "I'll try, but don't expect anything okay?" He ran as fast as he can, climbing up onto the Strike's cockpit.

"By the way," Murrue asked Mir while Kira was now preparing to contact OMNI forces. "did you see an auxiliary police officer a while ago? I remember seeing him with Kira."

"Oh, you mean Mark? Last I heard, he left us a while ago to see if he can get some help." Mir replied, who now felt a bit safe around Murrue since she wasn't upset with her or anything.

"Well good luck to him." Murrue frowned. "Since ZAFT forces are here, I doubt he can contact a police detachment, not even local emergency services."

Cockpit, ZGMF-515 CGUE

Le Creuset grinned as he drove Mu's Moebius Zero into the interior of Heliopolis. Charging at the mobile armor from above, the blonde man swiflty prepared to cut the mobile armor into two. But if it weren't for Mu's manipulation in aiming the linear gun upwards, he would have been doomed for good.

"Hmm?" Le Creuset observed the Strike was kneeling next to the trailer truck, having the Launcher Striker Pack equipped on its back. "So it looks like it's being prepped for combat."

The masked man grinned as he brought the CGUE down, planning to cut down the mobile suit down before it could turn on its PSA.

"I'd like to see how you can fight back against an experienced ZAFT officer in the interior of a colony..."

GAT-X105+AQM/E-X03 Launcher Strike Gundam

---

"Damn! Incoming!"

Kira received an alert from the mobile suit's system, moving it to protect Murrue and his classmates.

"Got to..."

He quickly activated the phase shift, activating the Strike Gundam's white and blue colors to indicate its PSA system was functioning and online.

For now, I'll use the Strike as a shield to protect them...

The brown-haired teenager fired the Anti-ship Vulcan Gun at the CGUE. In response, the CGUE moved left and right before it completely backed off.

Sooner or later, Le Creuset's going to try and hit me again.

Bridge, OMNIS Archangel, Underground Hangar, Morgenroete Heliopolis Factory, Heliopolis

"Assault cannons, fire!"

Natarle shouted, seeing the Assault cannons' positron energy slam into the hangar doors. She saw how powerful these weapons were when Arnold and Jackie informed her that the hangar doors were completely taken off.

This gave her some confidence in the hope of saving other OMNI personnel and getting the hell off his colony before ZAFT decides to come back and attack them.

---

Alley, near Abandoned Park, somewhere in Heliopolis

"And there it is."

Mark looked up to the sky, partially seeing the Archangel flying above the colony ground.

"The Archangel. And it seems to be combat ready."

---

Secret Hangar, Somewhere below Morgenroete Heliopolis Factory, Heliopolis

---

"Soon, I'll come back and reclaim all of the Astray mobile suit or my name isn't Rondo Ghina Sahaku."

A black-haired man with somewhat pale skin was working on two PC terminals, checking on the progress of data being uploaded on the inactive MBF-P02 Astray Red Frame and MBF-P03 Astray Blue Frame from their mobile suit consoles.

"Gold Frame is now ready..." Ghina looked over his shoulder to see the cockpit of the MBF-P01 Astray Gold Frame. "But I'll have to come back for the Green and Mirage." The Coordinator remembered that MBF-P03 Astray Green Frame and the MBF-P05LM Astray Mirage Frame didn't have the needed OS systems uploaded to make them functional.

"But no matter..." The nobleman grinned. "This hangar is so secret that not even most Morgenroete personnel knows of its existence." As soon as the terminals showed that the OS system for Red and Blue Frame were uploaded, Ghina made a run for the Gold Frame and got inside.

"Soon enough, I shall be back for the rest of you..." Ghina grinned even more before he armed the Gold Frame with a heavy bazooka and closed the cockpit hatch. "And as soon as I have possession of the Astray Frames once again, Orb shall rule the entire world!"

Ghina began to laugh evilly as he covertly exited the hangar with Gold Frame in possession while fighting was taking place at the surface.

Chapter 2 END

PS - A better revamped Chapter 2 for you readers, ladies and gentlemen. My apologies that the previous chapter 2 was overwritten by mistake. Hopefully I can do this to rectify my mistake. Anyway, the timeline's propped back up, but I guess it would be better in the sense of being assessed and written properly since I need to do the timeline carefully. Writing the chapter's story and all should be easily and what.

Hopefully that's better now. So if anyone wants to do a short story based on this timeline, let me know.

One more thing. The Graham-class is a class name I made up for the OMNI Attack Submarine in the Gundam SEED series. It's not named officially.

After I upload this, Peacekeeper's Chapter 10 should be done up next.
