Thanks to Reishin Amara for your review.
Durandal called Cagalli and her bodyguards to the Captain's office. "What is the matter" asked Cagalli when they arrived
"Junius Seven has begun moving and is on a collision course with Earth" said Talia
"WHAT" yelled Cagalli?
"It finally happened" thought Fiona
"We need to contact Kira and Lacus" thought Athrun
"How could this happen" asked Athrun
"Its orbit was supposed to be stable for centuries" he said
"We do not know" said Durandal
"Maybe it was an external factor" he said
"ZAFT is doing everything it can to stop it" said Talia
"I have ordered this ship to help in the efforts" said Durandal
"We will move out once the repairs are done" said Talia
"I am sorry for involving you in another incident" said Durandal
"It's alright" said Cagalli
"We must do everything we can to stop Junius Seven from striking Earth" she said
"We will keep you inform of the situation" said Durandal getting up
"Thank you" said Cagalli
Once they were away from the Captain's office, Athrun, Van, and Fiona surrounded Cagalli while she contacted Kira. "It has begun" said Cagalli
"We will take care of it" said Kira
"Try to find out the real reason behind it" said Lacus
"We don't want to be blamed for it" she said
"We will" said Cagalli
On Earth, Kira and Lacus ran to where Lafiel and Jinto were. "We need to go" said Kira
"It has begun" he added
Both Lafiel and Jinto nodded as they ran over to them. "What are you talking about" asked Murrue
"You will find out soon enough" said Lacus as they left
They went to Kira's and Lacus' room and into Lacus' closet. Lacus put her hand against the right side wall where it was scanned. There was a chime as the back wall slid opened revealing an elevator.
They got into the elevator and rode it down. They got out of the elevator into a hanger. There were four pilot suits near the elevator that they all put on. Kira's was light blue, Lacus' was pink, and Lafiel's and Jinto's was designed to look like their serlin. On their left shoulder were the three emblems of ZAFT, Orb, and the Earth Forces in a triangle formation. Orb was on top with the Earth Forces on the bottom left and ZAFT on the bottom right. Lafiel and Jinto had their family emblems on their right shoulders.
They then walked towards the three machines in the hanger. Kira and Lacus went towards the one that had white wings cocooned around it attached to a booster. Lafiel walked towards a mobile armor that had a red pile driver shield with long guns underneath it on either side. It had two wings that were spread out looking like four wings. Jinto walked towards a mobile armor that had a red pile driver shield with a long gun underneath it. It had wings that looked more like wings then engines on Lafiel's.
They all got inside and got ready to launch. Both mobile armors were raised vertical to prepare to launch.
Outside three hanger bay doors opened up as the three machines launched. Both Murrue and Andrew looked outside and saw the machines head towards space. "What have those kids been working on" asked Waltfeld
Once in orbit, the booster broke away and the wings opened up to reveal the winged mobile suit holding another one that looked like the Freedom. It let it go while the two mobile armors transformed into their mobile suit forms. "Activate Mirage Colloid and let's go" said Kira
The others nodded as their Gundams disappeared and took off. Once they were far enough away from the planet Kira said "We will stop and wait here"
"But shouldn't we destroy that thing before it gets too close to the planet" asked Jinto
"We can't do anything until we know the real reason behind its sudden movement" said Lacus
"If we go now, we might get blamed for it" she said
"Alright" said Jinto
Back on the Minerva, Cagalli and her guards were walking past a break room when they overheard someone say "Maybe it will be better for the PLANTs if Junius Seven struck Earth"
A seed exploded in Athrun's and Cagalli's mind as they ran in there. "How can you say that" shouted Cagalli
Everyone in break room back away at the look on Athrun's and Cagalli's faces. "It was just a joke" said Shinn
"This isn't something you joke about" said Athrun
"Watch what you say Shinn" said Rey
"I'm sorry" said Shinn not meaning it
"She's some princess of Orb" he said snidely
"What do you have against Orb" asked Cagalli
"I lost my entire family because of the Athhas" said Shinn
"Because of the battle you caused" he shouted
Cagalli growled as she disappeared in a burst of speed. She reappeared in front of Shinn, grabbed his coat, and slammed him against the wall. "How dare you blame the attack on Orb on my family" shouted Cagalli
"When it was ZAFT's fault we were attacked in the first place" she growled
"What" Shinn struggled to say?
"ZAFT destroyed Panama causing the Earth Forces to find a new mass driver. They came to Orb thinking it would be easy to gain access to ours" said Cagalli
"Why didn't you let them" asked Shinn regaining some of his gusto
Cagalli slammed him against the wall again shouting "We were fighting to protect all of the people of Orb, including Coordinators"
"What do you think would have happened to all of the Coordinators if we let a Blue Cosmos controlled Earth Forces in" asked Cagalli growling
Shinn gained a horrified look on his face as Cagalli threw him to the floor. "Next time you try to blame someone for something" said Cagalli
"Make sure you have your facts straight" she said glaring at him
Cagalli then left the break room with Athrun, Van, and Fiona following after her.
Later on in their room, Athrun said "I going to ask to borrow a mobile suit"
"Do you think the Captain will allow it" asked Cagalli
"No" said Athrun
"But the Chairman will" said Van
"Exactly" said Athrun nodding his head
"But why do you need to go out there" asked Cagalli worried
"Kira and Lacus need to know what is going on before they can act" said Athrun
"This will be the quickest way to get the information" he said
"Alright" said Cagalli looking down
"But be safe" she pleaded
"I will" said Athrun smiling
"Keep her safe" he said as he left the room
"We will" said Van with Fiona nodding
Athrun made his way to the bridge and went inside. Durandal noticed him and turned around. "What is it Athrun" asked Durandal
"I would like to ask to borrow one of your mobile suits" said Athrun
"WHAT" yelled Talia turning around?
"I can't allow a foreign civilian access to a mobile suit" she said
"I will authorize it" said Durandal
"Just like we thought" thought Athrun
"But…" Talia began to say
"It is alright Talia" said Durandal
"This is not a battle. The more machines we have out there the better" he said
"Alright" said Talia turning back around
"Thank you very much Chairman" said Athrun bowing
He then left the bridge and headed towards the pilot locker room. He got changed into a pilot suit and headed to the hanger. One of the mechanics led him to one of the ZAKUs and he got in. "So I get to pilot one of the new mass produced models" thought Athrun
"Let's see what this new model can really do" he thought
Right before the mobile suits launched, Meyrin's voice shouted over the intercoms "Abort launch! Battle detected on Junius Seven"
"Re-equip all mobile suits for anti-mobile suit combat"
"A battle" thought Athrun shocked
"So this was deliberate after all" he thought growling
"Kira" said Athrun
"What is it" asked Kira
"There is a battle going on at Junius Seven" said Athrun
"It is deliberate" said Kira
"Who could do such a thing" cried Lacus
"I don't know" said Athrun
"But I'm going to find out" he said
"How did you get a mobile suit" asked Kira
"I used the Chairman's interest in me to get it" said Athrun
"Nice work" said Lafiel
"You needed Intel and this was the quickest way to get it" said Athrun
"Thanks" said Kira
"We are heading to Junius Seven's position now" he said
"Keep us posted" he said
"I will" said Athrun
After the mobile suits were re-equipped they were stopped from launching again by Meyrin's voice over the intercom. "What is it this time" thought Athrun
"Bogey One has been detected near Junius Seven"
"Damn it" cursed Athrun
"This is getting worse and worse by the minute" he thought
The Impulse and ZAKUs finally launched and headed towards Junius Seven.
