Two years later
It had been two years since Lafiel, Jinto, Van, and Fiona have come to the Cosmic Era. Everyone but Van and Fiona moved out of Cagalli's house. Van and Fiona decided to join Athrun as Cagalli's personal bodyguards.
Kira, Lacus, Lafiel, and Jinto moved in with Murrue and Andrew and visited Reverend Malchio and his orphanage often.
With Cagalli's help Dearka and Miriallia moved into their own house.
Also during this time everyone helped get Lafiel and Jinto together. Jinto was scared of getting into a relationship with Lafiel saying she would outlive him. They told him that if that was true then he should make best of the time you have. They got together soon after that.
Now they were all at Cagalli's house talking about Cagalli's trip to see the new Supreme Chairman. "The Chairman has set up the meeting at Armory One" said Cagalli
"Armory One" asked Lafiel
"It's ZAFT's newest military base away from the PLANT homeland" said Athrun
"He's said he wants to meet me half way instead of me traveling all the way to the PLANTs" said Cagalli
"You don't believe him" said Dearka
"No" said Cagalli
"We are going there to talk about ZAFT using Orb's technology" she said
"And we think he wants to show off what he has done with it" said Athrun
"Please be careful" said Lacus
"We will take care of them" said Van
Cagalli, Athrun, Van, and Fiona got on board a shuttle and it took off towards Armory One. Sometime later it landed at Armory One's spaceport and the four of them got out. Cagalli was wearing her suit as the Chief Representative while Athrun, Van, and Fiona were wearing dark clothes with black sunglasses as her guards.
A few ZAFT guards led them from the spaceport to where they could meet with the Chairman. Along the way Athrun noticed that this was a PLANT. "So this is more than a military base" thought Athrun
"But why would civilians want to live so far away from the PLANT homeland" he thought
During the trip Van and Fiona were shocked at how natural all the scenery looked. "I thought this was supposed to be a military base" asked Van whispering
"I thought so to, but it appeared to be a PLANT" whispered Athrun
"Are they all like this" asked Fiona whispering
"Yes" whispered Athrun
Also along the way Cagalli asked "I understand that you are launching your first new ship since the end of the war tomorrow"
"We are" said the guard
"I hope it's not the ship Fiona saw in her vision" thought Cagalli
They arrived at the office the Chairman was using and went in. The Chairman saw them and said "Welcome Princess"
"I would like it if you called me Representative Athha" said Cagalli
"Of course" said Durandal smiling
"Please have a seat" he said waving to the chairs
"Thank you" said Cagalli
She took a seat across from Durandal with Athrun behind her and Van and Fiona staying near the door. "What did you wish to speak with me about" asked Durandal
"Your ambassador said it was very important" he said
"I think it is" said Cagalli
"It is about you using Orb's technology" she said
"We have made repeated requests for you to stop and have received no straight answer" she said
"We are merely doing it to protect ourselves" said Durandal
"As I understand, Orb still has a full military" he said
"Of course" said Cagalli
"We have to protect ourselves from whoever wants to attack us" she said
"We are the same" said Durandal
"But we achieved ours by using our own technology" said Cagalli
"Why couldn't you do the same" she asked
"You were the ones who came up with the original idea for the mobile suit" she said
A flash of emotion crossed Durandal's face before it disappeared. Cagalli inwardly smirked at winning their little debate.
Later on Durandal was showing the group around the military base. Athrun's eyes narrowed when he saw a mobile suit he didn't recognize. "A new mass produced model" thought Athrun
As they continued the tour an alarm went off. "What is going on" asked Durandal
"It can from hanger six" said one of the soldiers
Beams shot out of the hanger destroying the door and the hanger across from it. Three Gundams walked out of the hanger and then took off in different directions.
The group hid behind different vehicles to dodge the wind of the explosions. When they came back out they saw the Abyss fire its chest cannon. "A Gundam" shouted Cagalli
"Get them to a shelter" said Durandal
"Yes sir" said one of the soldiers
"This way" he said
They quickly lost the soldier leading them and found a place to hide for now. "I can't believe ZAFT made new Gundams" shouted Cagalli
"What are we going to do" asked Van
"We are going to find two abandoned mobile suits and use them to get onboard a ship" said Athrun
"Hopefully when this is over they can give us a lift to the PLANT homeland. Once there we can grab a shuttle home" he said
They quickly found two of the new models under some rubble. "Try to stay as far away from the Gundams as possible" said Athrun
"Mass produced models are no match for them" he said
"Right" said Van
Athrun and Cagalli got into the first one while Van and Fiona got into the second one. They started them up and took off. But they quickly caught the attention of Gaia. It fired its beam rifle at them which the both dodged. But before it could fire again it was hit from behind by missiles. They all looked up and saw a fighter jet fly by. "A fighter jet" said Cagalli confused
"Where did that come from" exclaimed Athrun
They then saw the fighter jet combine with two other pieces to form a Gundam. "What kind of idiot designed that" yelled Athrun
"It could have shot down while combining" he shouted
A pack then flew in and attached to its back. "The Strike" gasped Cagalli
"ZAFT made their own G Weapons" said Athrun
"We got to get out of here" shouted Cagalli
While the Impulse was keeping the Gaia busy the two ZAKUs flew away. As they were flying they saw the colony shake. "They are attacking from outside" said Athrun
"We need to hurry and find a ship" said Cagalli
Fiona found one and let out a gasp. "Did you find a ship Fiona" asked Van
"Yes" said Fiona
"But it's the one from my vision" she said
"I need to tell Athrun" said Van
"Athrun" he said
"Yes" said Athrun
"Did you find a ship" he asked
"Yes" said Van
"But it is the one from Fiona's vision" he said
"Damn it" shouted Cagalli
"That means Junius Seven is going to fall soon" she said
Both ZAKUs started flying towards the Minerva. As they got closer to it they saw it launch another pack. "They launched another pack" said Athrun
"It's flying by itself" exclaimed Cagalli
As they reached the Minerva both ZAKUs went and landed in one of the open hangers. All four of them got out of their ZAKUs and onto the hanger floor. "Hold it right there" said a female voice
They all looked and saw a female red coat with dark purple hair holding a machine gun. The four of them immediately drew their blasters as Van and Fiona get on either side of Cagalli while Athrun got in front of her. "Put down your gun" said Athrun
"This is the Chief Representative of the Orb Union, Cagalli Yula Athha" he said
"Athha" said Luna lowering her gun
"What are you doing here" she asked
"We were in a meeting with the Chairman when the attack happened" said Athrun
"We borrowed these mobile suits so we could find a ship that could take us to safety" he explained
"Who are you" asked Luna
All three of them took off their sunglasses and said "Van Flyheight"
"Elisi Linette"
"No sense in hiding it" thought Athrun
"Athrun Zala"
All of the ZAFT personnel eyes widen when they hear his name. They then all hear over the radio "The ship is about to take off. All hands to your stations"
"It has begun" thought the four of them
Luna gave her gun back to the soldier as everyone else ran to their positions. The four of them put their blasters away as Luna said "Come with me"
As they were walking down the hallways of the ship they heard "The Minerva is heading out. We are going to Condition Red"
"The enemy ship must still be nearby" thought Cagalli and Athrun
Luna led them to one of the officer's quarters and said "You can stay here until things calm down"
"Thanks" said Cagalli
They all went inside and the door shut. Once they were sure they were alone they contacted the others. "The ship from Fiona's vision is launching now" said Cagalli
"We will get ready" said Lacus
"How do you know that" asked Kira
"We are on it" said Athrun
"How did you wind up on the ship" asked Dearka
"ZAFT has made their version of the G Weapons and the Archangel. The Earth Forces attacked during our meeting and stole three of them" explained Athrun
"The ship we are on now is their version of the Archangel" he said
"Do you have any data on them" asked Kira
"Only on the Strike copy" said Athrun
"It launched in three parts: a fighter jet, body, and legs. They combined together and the pack flew up and attached to it" he explained
"The packs are capable of flying by themselves" said Cagalli
"That would have been useful with the Strike" said Kira
"What is going on now" asked Lacus
"The ship just launched to go after the ones who stole the Gundams" said Athrun
"Keep us updated" said Kira
"We will" said Cagalli
