Wow you guys have given me really positive reviews. I honestly thought more people would hate this story. I just want to say thank you.
Hear is chapter 3
In the docks we see the destruction caused by the bombs. The entire are is filled with the dead floating around. Among them is the black haired soldier, Natarle Badgiruel. She was slowly floating up to the ceiling followed by a bloodied body of a mechanic. When they hit the roof the shock caused her to wake up. As her eyesight began to clear she saw the dead man in front of her. She instinctively reached out to him to see if he was alive. Unfortunately he wasn't. Her mind began to wonder until she remembered something.
"The ship. Where's the Archangel?"
She began to make her way to the lounge where the ship's crew was last seen. When she arrived, she was greeted by the same destruction that she previously saw.
"Anybody? Is anybody here?"
The captains damaged hat floated past her. Before it passed she grabbed it and simply stared at it. Tears began to fill her eyes.
"Damn! Aren't there any survivors?" She shouted.
She was greeted by silence. She began to lose hope until she heard a steady thumping. She wiped the tears from her eyes and turned to where it originated. The door was kicked open revealing an earth soldier.
"Ensign Badgiruel! I'm glad you're okay."
Outside the colony
The GINNs were given the signal to retreat. This left Mu La Flaga alone.
"They left? Something is still coming."
The zero turned and headed in a new direction. Of in the distance on a collision course with the Zero was a white GINN piloted by Rau Le Creuset.
"Do you sense me the way that I sense you? Quite unlucky, don't you think Mu La Flaga?"
Rau continued to move toward the colony and more importantly his fated battle with Mu.
Inside Colony
In Heliopolis the Strike, which is in its grey powered down state, and the Lightning, which looks the same since it doesn't have phase shift armour, were kneeling next to each other with their cockpits open. Kuzzey and Tolle were checking out the strike whereas Sai and Kira the lightning.
Murrue Ramius was having a terrible dream. The colony was attacked by ZAFT and a student was forced to pilot it! As if something like that would happen. Her bed seems smaller than usual? Strange. She snuggled into nice warm and muscular pillow… Wait…What? She began to come to and noticed that she was on a bench and her pillow was someone's lap. She looked up and saw a white hair boy smiling down at her.
"I see the princess has decided to wake up from her beauty sleep. A pity, this prince was looking forward to giving you a wake up kiss."
This made her blush and immediately sit up, completely forgetting about her arm injury. After she was up she grabbed her arm in pain. Strangely it didn't hurt that much? Naruto noticed this and forced her back down intensifying her blush. She couldn't believe that someone ten years younger than her was making her blush like a school girl talking to her crush.
Naruto was enjoying teasing her but he did have a reason for letting her rest on his lap. He needed her close so that he could heal her without the others noticing. They heard someone giggling. They turned their heads and noticed Miriallia giggling.
"I see you're awake." She said before calling Kira over and walking away.
Kira walked over. He also found Naruto making the older woman blush funny. His friend really was a ladies man.
"I'm glad you're feeling better." She stared at him. This made Kira feel uncomfortable.
He looked down and said, "I'm sorry."
She didn't reply so he decided to explain.
"I got a bit carried away in there."
"Don't apologise Kira." They looked at Naruto.
"If you didn't do what you did then you to would probably be dead right now, our friends as well. You have nothing to apologise for."
Hearing Naruto's words made him smile, knowing that he did the right thing. Mir just got back with some water and offered it to Murrue.
"Thank you."
Naruto helped her up so that she could drink. They then heard Tolle's loud voice.
"These gundams are awesome! I thought the Knight was the only one?"
"Well considering how powerful it was, of course the earth forces would try to create their own. Damn, this one has really high specs! Naruto how'd you get this?"
Murrue began to panic.
"Stay away from those!"
She took out her gun and fired at the strike just missing the cockpit so that she didn't hit Tolle or Kuzzey. She got up from Naruto's lap, not noticing the frown on his face, and began to move toward the strike and lightning. She was still pointing her gun at the students. Kira, after getting out of his shock, went up to her to try and calm her down.
"What do you think you're doing? Please stop it! Those guys carried you out while you were unconscious!"
She then pointed her gun at Kira. Looking at the gun made him freeze. Naruto's frown turned into an angry scowl.
"I'm grateful that you saved me," said Murrue, "But the Gundams are a top military secret. It's not something that civilians should see."
Tolle spoke up. "Give me a break! Kira was the one piloting it a while ago and the second one doesn't even belong to the military."
She chose to ignore what he said and pointed the gun in his direction.
"All of you, over there." She pointed with the gun.
After they got in line, she ordered her to identify themselves and that is what they did.
"Sai Argyle"
"Tolle Koenig"
"Miriallia Haw"
"Kuzzey Buskirk"
"Kira Yamato"
"Naruto Otsutsuki. You now, Tolle was right. The lightning gundam is mine. It doesn't belong to the military."
She pointed the gun at Naruto. He could have easily disarmed her but he wanted more information. For that to happen he had to make her feel like she is in charge.
"I'm Murrue Ramius. What you say is impossible. There is no way a student would have a gundam. It was obviously created by the earth forces."
"Really? Just look at the two units. They are nothing alike."
She did notice that the Lightning didn't have phase shift armour.
"Also, weren't you in charge of moving the earth gundams? I'm pretty certain you would have noticed it while transporting it." He smirked, "However, I can tell from your expression that you've never seen it before."
Murrue knew that Naruto was right. The lightning was too different from the other G-units and they were already risking a lot by using a neutral colony for their operation. There was no way they would keep a secret unit from her or the others.
"That may be true but an officer of the earth alliance forces I cannot allow any of you to leave. No matter the situation it hasn't changed the fact that all of you have seen a military secret. Until we reach the proper authorities to determine what needs to be done all of you have no choice but to remain with me at all times. Your Gundam shall be confiscated for the time being."
The students began to complain, however Naruto continued to smirk. If Knight was right then the quickes way to stop this war was to follow Kira and being near one of the sides will give him more information. Also, even if they took the lightning away only he could pilot it. He created it using technology and his yin-yang release. Unless the system is changed you need to be him and the knight necklace, which functions as the activation key, to pilot it. He had nothing to worry about.
"Silence!" she shouted. "You shall do as I say!"
"But we're neutral! We have nothing to do with the military!"
Tolle continued. "That's right! Besides, why are the earth forces even in Heliopolis in the first place? It doesn't make any sense!"
Kuzzey continued. "Right! That's how all this happened to begun with!"
She became annoyed with the constant bickering. So to shut them up she pointed the gun in the sky and fired a few shots. The students immediately shut up.
"Quiet! You kids don't understand anything."
The students were scared. Tolle was holding Mir protectively and the others were too scared to move. Naruto could have done something but he could sense that they weren't in any real danger so he decided to let things play out.
"By declaring you are neutral you can still distance yourself from what's happening! Do you really believe that? Take a look around you. The earth forces greatest secret was here and you saw it. The truth is no one is truly neutral! That is the reality you people have to face now."
The students were shocked but Naruto completely agreed with what she said. In a war this scale it is impossible for ORB to be truly neutral. What happened here proves it.
She continued. "It may be hard to believe but right now we are in the middle of a war between earth and PLANT; Naturals and coordinators," Kira flinched, "It's time you step out into the real world."
Outside colony
Rau was hiding behind a section of the colony waiting for Mu to appear. As Mu passed him he launched a sneak attack. He aimed his rifle and started to fire many shots. As the shots approached he increased his thruster output to dodge them.
"Bastard! Is that you, Rau Le Creuset?!"
He continued to dodge the shots as he moved close to Rau. He detached two of his gun barrels and began to circle around the white GINN as they both started to fire at each other.
"You're always getting in my way! Mu La Flaga!"
As they were fighting they began to move closer to the colony. As soon as an opening appeared Rau turned towards the colony and fired his thrusters, propelling himself to the colony.
"Damn! He's going into Heliopolis!"
Mu quickly followed.
Archangel
"The only survivors are the few of us who were already on board during the explosion. However, most of them were factory workers."
Natarle was thinking. They weren't in a good position. After a moments silence she asked the one question that needed to be said.
"What happened to the ZAFT shift?"
"I have no idea. We already have are hands full trying to get things here in order."
She moved towards the control panel and began to start up the bridge of the ship.
"It will take more than a few explosions to sink the archangel."
The helmsman stood next to her.
"The port exit is blocked of by the debris. We're trapped in here."
She tried to open the comlink but they were still jammed.
'That doesn't make sense. ZAFT believe that they have completed their objective, so why is the jamming still in effect?' she thought. Then her eyes widened.
"This was a distraction. The real target was Morgenroete!" The helmsman's eyes widend.
Natarle tried to get in contact with Morgenroete.
"Damn! What's the situation over there? What's happened to the G-Weapens?" She got frustrated and slammed her fist into the top of the console.
"Why isn't this thing working."
They then heard noise coming from the radio.
"05…rike..forc…respou…"
With the students.
Kira was in the strike trying to call the earth forces.
"X105 Strike here, earth forces, please respound!"
Nothing was happening so he went back to the others. Murrue didn't let Naruto out of her sights. He and his gundam were a wild card. Sai arrived. He just brought a trailer.
"The number five trailer you asked for."
Muurue looked at him.
"That's the right one. Thank you."
Sai turned back to her.
"What do you want us to do after this?"
"Get the striker pack and try contacting them again."
With Rau
Rau was currently moving through the interior of the colony, making his way to the residential area were the civilians lived. Mu gave chase.
He fired at him; Mu dodged but hesitated to fire back. This made Rau smirk. He knew that Mu wouldn't want to cause any damage to the colony. However he didn't have a choice. As they continued to move and exchange fire Rau used the layout to trick Mu.
"I'll be happy if you disappeared now, Mu La Flaga!"
Rau snuck up behind him and fired. He landed a direct hit on Mu's gun barrels. Mu was forced to detach them before they exploded. Rau used the explosion as a smoke screen to get closer to him. Once he was within point blank range he drew his sword and aimed a slash at Mu.
"Damn!"
Mu raised his main canon to block the slash. The blade cut through the canon destroying it but he was able to survive his encounter with Rau. He was unarmed so was forced to flew deeper into the colony. Of course Rau gave chase.
Archangel
The helmsman looked at Natarle as she sat in the captain's chair.
"Start the ship? That's impossible with the amount of people we have!"
She looked at him with an annoyed expression.
"Instead of arguing with me you should be finding away to make it happen! Morgenroete may still be under attack! We have no time to waste!"
Three men entered the bridge. She turned to them and gave her orders.
"Take your seat! Follow the instructions on the screen!"
"Yes ma'am" they replied.
The helmsman was still trying to convince Natarle to stop.
"The ZAFT forces are still out there, we are in no position to fight."
She snapped her head in his direction.
"I know that! Prepare to fire the assault cannons as we activate the ship!"
He reluctantly agreed and sat down.
"Star the activation sequence. Main power online."
"Power output rising. Estimated 400 seconds before output stabilised." Spoke one of the men.
"That will take too long! What is the status of the conduits on Heliopolis?"
"There unharmed."
"Draw power from them to speed up the activation time."
"Roger! Adjusted estimate; 20 seconds."
"All systems online." Spoke another man. "Archangel take-off preparations complete!"
"All hand prepare of impacts and sudden damage to the ship," said Natarle, Archangel take off slowly."
The ship began to move forward. As it did the main cannon on its legs opened up.
With the students
Kira was in the strike. He bent over and prepared to connect the striker pack. It was all green and composed of a large handheld canon and a shoulder mounted rocket launcher. This is the launcher pack. Just before he attached it an explosion was heard overhead. The Zero and White GINN were battling over head. Naruto was about to head to his gundam but Murrue pointed the gun to his face.
The GINN noticed the strike and an unknown gundam type and began to appeoach. Kira quickly began to mount the striker pack while the mobile armour distracted the GINN but the distraction didn't last long. The GINN was heading for Kira and he wasn't ready. Just before he could strike a large explosion occurred. This made Rau stop. Out of the explosion came the Archangel. Everyone watched in awe as the ship appeared. Naruto used this opportunity to head to the lightning. He strapped himself in. When he fed his chakra into the unit the front console opened up revealing a cross shaped gap. He placed the activation key in it. As the unit powered up he could only think of one thing; the situation was going to get a lot worse before it got better.
This chapter is done. I hope you liked it.
I'll be focusing on my three current stories from now on instead of making more. I'll try to update once a week.
