Chapter Seventy Six

Operation Extermination Part Four

Doomsday

Classified Room

It was quite simple why Ryu wasn't to angry when his satellites were destroyed and that reason was he had a fifth backup reactor surrounded by three mobile satellites. This reactor and its three satellites were disguised with Mirage Colloid and were not in the Extermination Plans that Lacus stole. Three more things were revealed as well as they were large reflective dishes around three of the four satellites but placed on angles aimed at this fifth reactor.

Ryu went to the terminal he didn't think he needed as he deactivated the Mirage Colloid, the reactor came uncovered as well as the three satellites surrounding it in a triangle position.

The location of this reactor was right above Orb and for good reason. It was at a point where if a reactor was damaged it would draw its energy from reflection dishes that were placed in three locations. These dishes were placed on angles around three reactors were if they were to fail the reactors would send the energy to these dishes that would immediately reflect it to this fifth reactor. The only one it couldn't do was the one around Europe but if any of the other three were to fail this one could take over the job and now it was needed to do just that.

The three satellites for this thing were a lot more advanced then the other fifty. These satellites could move and be placed in different positions to compensate for any loss of reactors.

Ryu started working immediately one powering up this reactor, with that warming up he started positioning the satellites as they still had to be dropped into the atmosphere. Ryu moved the three around to where he wanted them. One was aiming towards the east, and another was heading towards the west to reflect the energy to the remaining fifty. Lastly the final satellite was aimed to the north. The reaction was going to start differently but the ending result was going to be the same. With these three aimed to their secondary target satellites everything was expected to go as planned, with a few exceptions that he will worry about later.

With the reactor powering up the satellites were dropped into position in the atmosphere as they were opened up and ready for the reactor.

Ryu had to go back to the other terminal to the South American reactor and prepare to reverse the transfer of the power to aim at the reflector dish.

The reactor started aiming its reflectors towards this dish as Ryu now had to wait for the fifth reactor to power up.

Heading back to the terminal he didn't expect to use Ryu knew he was almost there, as soon as it was powered up he would begin the process.

Eternal

Kira sent them everything on what they were going to do and for one reason; they couldn't do anything about it.

Andrew, Lacus and Cagalli were going over the plans now.

"He got us," Andrew replied.

"Why weren't these in the plans?" Cagalli asked as the large folder Lacus brought back had nothing on this.

Lacus couldn't believe it either, "We…we have nothing to stop it."

They then heard a voice as the com was never down.

Aerial Battle

With Kira and all of them

With the wings extended the com was still open as Kira heard it.

Mu was ready as well but if Kira was going to answer that he was going to listen.

"You wish to know why?" Kira asked angrily.

All turned to listen.

"Naturals and coordinators all think pretty much alike, however His Excellency is different, we are always prepared, and the reason it wasn't in the plans was when you stole them this wasn't one hundred percent completed, and besides the plans were in my head so he didn't have any need to file them on documentation," Kira replied sarcastically.

Kira then smiled, "I felt all the joy all the celebration and happy thoughts you worthless people were giving and now it has been replaced with fear, you have nothing to stop this assault so now my only choice is if I want you to see the end or do I stop all of you from witnessing such a historic event, you felt differently though didn't you La Flaga?"

Mu heard that as he was now glad he prepared the way he did, but first he had to get away from him to do it, "If I thought that victory was a little too easy I did, but its not over," Mu said as the com was cut.

With Kira and Mu

Kira knew it was time as the wings were extended and the Dragoons were launched.

Mu however had the upgrades Murdoch made and now was as good a time as any to try his own. Mu launched the Akatsuki's as well.

Kira saw this, "Most impressive, but will they work."

Mu got the feeling of high danger as he sent his to Kira and Kira sent his to him.

Immediately the blasters were firing for both of them as it looked like about twenty beams were firing at once.

Kira and Mu were both quickly dodging as Murdoch pulled it off.

This was a test of whose abilities were going to be greater.

Each had eight blasters however Mu knew Kira could triple his load at any time, however before he did that he had to get him.

This was a total battle as they had to use their abilities for firing the shots and for dodging them, Mu still had the disadvantage as he couldn't strike the armor of the shot would head straight back at his blaster.

Both were spinning, flipping and dodging.

Kira was on the move as he used the shield generator to his advantage as he removed a saber and went in for a quick slash.

Mu countered with two dragoon units as Kira was forced to back off returning his saber and moving for his rifle.

Mu saw a chance as Kira was getting a little careless as he moved three blasters to the front as one quickly broke off and fired a shot.

Kira used the generator to block the two shots but Mu's precision was strong as one blast went right under the generator and struck the armor but as it did it reflected back and slammed into the inside the shield Kira was emitting, it was a small blast as it overloaded a little. Kira deactivated the generator as it was still operable but he couldn't risk it blowing up.

"Not bad, let's go to the next level," Kira replied as the blasters then split into sixteen.

Mu cringed as he had to dodge a lot quicker. Some blasts were striking his armor as it was holding but the worse was the head; it tore about a quarter of the head off.

"Don't tell me I wasted my time for this," Kira replied, "You can do better then that," Kira replied again taking hold of one of his boomerangs and throwing it at Mu.

Mu countered with the blaster as he destroyed the boomerang and moved in for a quick slash with his saber.

Kira moved the dragoons again as Mu did as Kira didn't want to lose any and moved them away.

Mu tried his slash but surprisingly Kira moved forward and caught his arm.

"Now my old mentor its over," Kira replied taking his beam saber in his other hand.

Mu was screwed.

Kira was starting to bring it down when his senses went crazy and then he got an alert.

Kira let go and evaded as he turned to the side and saw the Justice.

Athrun dropped them off and then headed here as fast as he could but with no way in that fire storm from all those dragoons he was forced to wait and then saw this chance.

With Mu and Athrun

"Sorry I am late," Athrun replied.

"Good, we can do this," Mu replied.

"No, I know you have something in mind so go and do it, leave him to me," Athrun replied.

"Are you crazy?" Mu replied.

"I beat him before I can do it again," Athrun replied.

Mu was hesitant.

"I know you have something up your sleeve now go and use it, or it will be over, we are running out of time go!" Athrun said.

Mu hated to but he flew off as Athrun moved in the path.

Kira watched, "Interesting," Kira replied as he returned the dragoon units.

"I won't need those for you," Kira replied with confidence.

Athrun prepared himself as this had to be him and this time he had a little extra secret weapon that Cagalli and the others were not be pleased about but he saw no other way.

With Mu

Mu flew off as he used the Orb channel that Kira wasn't on and contacted his ships; it was time to do what he hoped they wouldn't have to.

Around the Earth

North American Location

The situation here wasn't very good, the alliance forces held back the Zaft forces but they rushed in judgment and when they tried firing the Destroys cannons the pressure was to high as the Destroy blew completely up, taking most of the forces with it. This one was a failure.

Europe Location

The Europe location was a little different story, the Zaft forces were aggressive here but they managed to get one shot off and took out one satellite however the Zaft forces mounted a suicide rush and the damage was down to the destroy as the generators were destroyed, the final shot was made useless. They had a half victory here but that wasn't good enough.

Asia Location

The largest forces were heading to this location as there was two Destroys located here. The alliance made one very big critical mistake when they didn't place forces around the flanks instead of just the center. Zaft sent its aerial forces over the mountains and by the time they got to the defensive line they were fighting on two sides. One Destroy was taken out but for awhile the other was still in the hunt.

They were able to fire off both shots from the Destroy, and one satellite was damaged, however the other shot never made it up there, and they couldn't explain why. They damaged one satellite but they didn't know if it could be used or not.

This ended in failure but not that any of it mattered as when Zaft introduced the fifth reactor it was all in vain anyway.

Alliance Headquarters

Celebration here was halted when Kisaka got back to them as many just collapsed into their chairs. The data was sent as they had nothing that could stop these, Zaft played them for fools.

"Sir?" many leaders said.

"It's over…all we have left is what I did for Commander La Flaga, and I thought it was useless…it is all up to him now…we have failed the world," the president said.

They had that one thing for La Flaga and the president was glad he did it but for them it was going to be over.

"How have things gone so far?" was all that the president could ask them and himself.

Orb Ships and Akatsuki

With Mu

After Mu flew off he knew he had one thing to do, he was trying to get in touch with all the ships as it was time to act out his backup strategy he formed.

Mu was typing the best he could while keeping an eye on Athrun, but he knew he would have to let him take over.

Mu flew towards the first ship he saw and that was the Eternal.

Mu then spoke to all Orb ships.

Eternal and Archangel

After they heard Kira's quick explanation he gave to Mu they were at once at a loss. With nothing to counter those satellites they were thinking only one thing could stop this attack which was likely already under way. They had to destroy the Doomsday.

All were in agreement as they were on the line with the Archangel. All were offering up ideas on how to do this but Cagalli as she had bigger problems, Athrun was engaging with Kira so she was on top of that.

When Mu arrived he spoke with them all, "Listen to me very carefully."

"We could use your help, we have decided to go all out against that Doomsday, we will ram it if we have to," Murrue told him.

"We don't have time to waste," Andrew replied.

"None of you will do anything, that will not work and it will be more wasted death," Mu said kind of angrily.

All turned to him as he was taking an aggressive tone.

"What are you saying?" Murrue asked as she hadn't seen him before.

"That ship will destroy both of you if you attempt to go near it again, they are not pursuing now as they are likely reading to leave the planet, and how I don't know but it doesn't matter," Mu told them.

"What are you saying? We have little time left," Lacus replied.

"What I am saying is simple, you cannot stop that ship with what we have and we cannot prevent what will happen, they got us its over," Mu told them.

"You want us to just give up?" Andrew asked angrily.

"What I want you to do is open those documents I gave you, it is time we do that, and time is very limited so do it now," Mu replied quickly.

"Does that include us?" another voice said.

All didn't think they would hear that voice as it was coming from Talia.

"You're alive?" Murrue asked.

"Alive and kicking," Talia replied.

Minerva-below the ocean

After they sunk the crew worked the best they could and many sacrifices were made as crewmen drowned and were eliminated by the explosions however they did manage to level the Minerva and stop its free fall.

There ship was completely useless battle wise but at least they were able to save it.

Power was slightly restored so they couldn't resurface but they could move.

With Eternal, Archangel and Minerva

"I really am glad you people are alright but time is limited," Mu went on.

"Go ahead," Talia said.

"I need all three of you to open those up and read them quickly," Mu replied.

All three captains did as this was completely insane, "You cannot just do this," Murrue told him.

"We have no choice our chances are very limited, it is a high gamble but I do believe it will turn out this way with a little luck and my role, I don't have to remind any of you that we have no options left," Mu told them.

Right now all three had the reaction the alliance president had, however they were really left with no other options, if worse came to worse they would at least survive.

Lacus shook her head trying to think of another way but there wasn't one, they did fail and now they had to deal with it this way.

"What do you need?" Lacus asked.

"First did you find the location on the maps?" Mu asked.

Murrue nodded, "We have them, we are located near Australia so there are several and one right near the coast."

"That is your destination, once we begin the two ships will head there and the Archangel will come with me…all I need is the nearest satellite location," Mu told them.

Lacus went over the plans, "Southwest…however the aftermath?"

"Just do what you have to, if I can do this we won't have to worry about it…at least for a now," Mu replied.

"What about the Doomsday?" Andrew asked.

"Ignore them, don't provoke them and they should leave us alone, they want to get to space and will have to do it soon," Mu said.

"This is to great a gamble," Lacus replied as she hated feeling this helpless.

"Its time once again that I make the impossible possible…this will work and once you are there just do as the thing says," Mu replied.

The Eternal and undersea Minerva were left with no choice, they did as Mu suggested as they turned their ships and started moving off.

Cagalli was in contact with Athrun as she filled him in despite what he was doing, she wanted him back but Mu needed him to keep doing what he was doing if this was to be pulled off.

Archangel

Mu flew over and landed on the Archangel deck, "You sure you are with me?"

Murrue came over the com, "We would be fools not to be…I just wish there was another way."

"It's too late for that and hard are inevitable, but if we fail this will never work," Mu replied landing heading for the open hanger.

"We will move the ship now," Murrue said as they changed course.

Mu landed in the hanger as he got in contact with Chief Murdoch.

Hanger

Mu quickly got out of the cockpit as he went down as Murdoch was already getting ready.

"Are you sure about this commander?" Murdoch asked.

"We have no real choice get it ready," Mu replied.

Murdoch nodded to his mechanics as now they started assembling a cannon, it was the modified version of the cannon Erica made for the Destroy.

"I scaled it down to size commander however you will have to go pretty high with it," Murdoch said as the cannon now looked like the old Busters assembled cannon. However it was twice as long.

"Output?" Mu asked.

"We attached a power cable from the Archangel, you can draw your power from there but that will only take you up a few hundred feet," Murdoch said.

"That will be all I need, those satellites aren't at all defended and all I need is hit it…despite what it will do to me," Mu replied.

Murdoch and Mu turned around as now the equipment was starting to install equipment to the Akatsuki. They took off the back and modified it with two large thrusters, the shoulders were mounted with a brace as it could now hold the cannon with, it wasn't too large but they had to be sure. The thrusters were to push the mobile suit higher until it reached the range needed for the cannon.

"We still don't know commander, it will get you up there but I don't know if the range will be enough," Murdoch told him.

"It will have to be, for this to work it will have to be," Mu said as they were relying on many different things here and a lot had to go right, but with Kira that was a big long shot.

"We should arrive in fifteen minutes sir," Murdoch told him as they trained for installing the equipment they just didn't hope they would have to use now they do.

Mu's life was highly on the line here as the suit wasn't going to last long like this, it was like a downgraded version of the Destroy plan, but the Akatsuki was going to be using spatial thrusters and stress was going to be strong.

However this was there last option.

Doomsday

Bridge

"Sir, the ships are…retreating," one officer replied.

"Don't concern yourself with that, it won't matter in a little while anyway, just concentrate on getting us back to space," Willard replied.

"We are ready to begin transformation sir," another officer told him.

Willard sat down, "Begin."

Outside

Outside the Doomsdays started its slight transformation, all weapons were heading back in towards the ship as they turned and went into their locations as the doors closed around them. Cannons were now hidden and plating was covering them. The Genesis cannon started rotating more cover plating around the cannon while the bridge and such went started closing off. Heat shielding plating was going to be activated as they lifted off.

The two sides of the massive ship opened up as two large engine thrusters with a total of two thrusters on each were moved out and aimed towards the back, these things were gigantic. Lastly the back thrusters it normally used were surrounded by an extra set of plating as all of them were moved out a little bit more.

Bridge

"Fusion reaction is stable sir," the reactor operator said over the line.

"Begin launching procedures go to full code blue and we wait for orders," Willard said.

Around the Ship

Code Blue was ordered as all crew people immediately strapped themselves in where ever they were as they were.

The nurse with the ultimate did the same thing as that ultimate was going no where, or it was that nurse's life.

Now all they needed was Ryu or Kira's orders.

Eternal and Minerva

Minerva

"Are you sure about this ma'am?" Arthur asked.

"Like he said there is no choice, this just assures that there is that chance," Talia reported as they couldn't get back to the surface.

Eternal

Lacus agreed to this for the belief in Mu knew it was best. She had her own family to think about as well but if it worked out as they had no other way then it would be better this way as the advantage could be shifted.

Andrew and Dacosta discussed this as they agreed. There was nothing else they could do.

Cagalli however was still monitoring Athrun as she did contact him.

Aerial Battle

With Kira and Athrun

For a short while when all of that was going on they were impervious of it.

That was until Kira broke the silence.

"Are you ready for one last time old friend?" Kira asked.

"I am more then ready to finish you off," Athrun replied.

"Just tell me one more time Athrun, why do you fight this?" Kira asked.

"What you are doing is no different then what my father did that we stopped, you remember that don't you?" Athrun asked.

"I don't look back to those memories, remembrance is pointless however what your father tried wouldn't have solved the full problem as coordinators would just die out or return to being naturals, we added in the future of world, the ultimates, no more war and no more suffering, that is the different Athrun," Kira replied.

"We didn't need this Kira, what Cagalli and Lacus did was on a way of making it so the treaty would have held out," Athrun replied.

"Foolish, lets see you had Durandal trying his crazy plan, you had Jibril and blue cosmos ready to make a move, that was just going to be a repeat of history, war, treaty and peace for a few years, war, treaty and peace for a few years it was all going to repeat itself over and over and over…and I would always be in the middle of it, that is why it has to change, now we will be called monsters but later we will be called saviors…that is the one and only truth to break the cycle," Kira replied to him.

"You just don't get it Kira, people are the only ones that can make that choice," Athrun replied as that was a bad move but he didn't care, he knew that would get to him.

"I hate that word people! People, people, people, I already explained to you they did nothing and we suffered they are small and weak creatures, the ultimates will change that…I am tired of listening to your nonsense," Kira said as that com was broken.

"Your choice, goodbye old friend," Athrun replied as he powered up his machine.

Kira flew towards him at high speed as both machines removed to sabers.

Athrun reached for something as soon as they clashed he used it.

Doomsday

Classified Room

Ryu waited calmly as now he got the final ready signal.

"Now it ends," Ryu said as he hit the final command.

Space

The South American reactor once again started up as the dish was using the suns power; however the reflectors that would have sent the power to the satellites were aimed towards the reflection dish.

The power immediately connected and was reflected straight towards the fifth reactor over Orb.

Ryu watched as it connected with that reactor dish and started generating the power through. Ryu then for once smiled as the Orb reactors reflectors sent it straight to the three satellites surrounding it.

Ryu watched as the satellites started the chain reaction as the first satellite that was hit with the power started channeling it through to the cannon.

Ryu then watched as the shot was fired.

To be continued...

(A\N): The next chapter, Mu's plan takes affect, as well as a lot of other things. See you later.
