Chap 12

"Mission accepted."

Heero closed his laptop and grabbed his jacket. Opening his dorm, he made sure the coast was clear before dashing through the hall and quietly slipping out of the HQ. Grabbing a jeep, Heero had just started the engine when he was greeted by a familiar voice.

Hey, Heero. Off for a drive?

"........."

"Good. I could use the lift too." Duo jumped in, much to Heero's dismay. Duo relaxed himself in his seat as Heero glared at him, but drove anyway. Since his mission isn't in the way of his, then it didn't matter whether he came or not. As he drove, Duo stretched his arms out and put them behind his head.

"Apparently, we're heading to the same party. New Edwards."

Heero didn't turn to look at him. "This mission is really big. I don't think you get it."

Duo's grin remained, "You beat I do. This is the chance to finally stop the OZ organization."

The monotone voice came back, "This time will be different. We're going to destroy every OZ leader."

Duo closed his eyes briefly, "Then I go back to space." He then opened it and looked back at the fading Space Knight HQ. "Too bad though. I kinda liked it there. Being a Space Knight and all."

"Then don't come. I'll handle it myself."

Duo turned back at him, "And let you have all the fun? No way."

"Hey. Fancy us getting on the same transport."

Quatre was boarding a land transport heading to the town near to New Edwards. It just so happen that Trowa was also boarding the same transport. Trowa gave him a blank glance.

"I'm doing this alone."

Quatre smiled, "So am I. But what if we help each other?"

"Don't think so." was the quick reply.

Quatre followed him to his seat. "Two's always better than one."

Trowa didn't respond as he sat down with Quatre sitting next to him. For a while, both boys stayed quiet. Then Quatre muttered to himself.

"Ah well. I was nice while it lasted." He then turned to Trowa, "Are you going to miss being a Space Knight?"

"No."

Quatre turned away, "I see. Well, I guess stopping OZ is more important than my own feelings."

In the New Edwards base, a gathering had been called for all the members of the Alliance to discuss the current issues. Leading these peace talks would be Marshall Noventa, joined by General Septum and many others, including Trieze Khzurenada. However, Trieze has secret manipulated the details of the information, stating that this was instead a meeting of top OZ officials.

"Let us see what course the future will take."

Lady Une stood beside him, "It'll take whatever direction you want it."

"It is up to the Alliance to decide whether my plans will come into light."

Inside the building, the meeting began quickly as Noventa began with talks about disarming their weapons. Suffice to say, General Septum, who was in charge of the main military force, was not entirely pleased with this idea.

"Are you saying we should reduce the forces?"

"That would only be the start. Our ultimate goal is unilateral demilitarization. Once that is done, we can create a clear dialogue with the colonies."

Septum nearly stood out of his seat, "But you can't be serious. The Radham still remain a threat to us. And now there are there is the even bigger threat of the gundam tekkamen created by the colonies. They pose an even bigger threat than the Radham." He focused on Trieze, who was seated nearby, "What do the Specials say about this?"

Trieze answered, "We believe they have been created for purely destructive purposes."

Septum nodded and slightly relaxed back into his chair. Lady Une whispered, "What now?"

"Now all we need is an actor. Someone who speaks out the feelings of the entire Alliance."

Noventa continued, "It's only natural to feel shaken by all these events. But we mustn't let these things stop us. As far as the Radham are concerned, the Space Knights are more equipped to deal with them than anyone else."

Septum cut in, "Let's say that you're right about that. That still leaves the gundams to deal with."

Noventa responded, "Once the colonies see that we only want peace, they will have no use for such creatures. Let's talk. I'm sure we can find our way once again."

The entire assembly clapped their hands in approval to this. Trieze glanced at everyone.

"I thought so. The future is heading in the wrong direction."

Lady Une held the transmitter, "Shall we begin?"

"No. Let's wait for the final actors to arrive."

"Next, we will discuss..." Noventa suddenly stopped as the alarms of the base began to sound. "What's going on here?"

A soldier came up on the view-screen behind him, "We're under attack!" The screen then switched to the outside where it showed Tekkaman Wing fly in on the base.

"It's them."

_______

The battle began instantly as the Wing Tekkaman swooped in a slashed down on the first group of Sol-Tekkas. He was soon joined by Tekkaman Deathscythe, who finished them off. Looking out, they saw the numerous amounts of Sol-Tekkas of many different varieties.

Deathscythe growled as his scythe razed down two Sol-Tekkas, "There are a lot more here than we thought."

Wing brought his lancer down on another Sol-Tekka, "Ten times more."

To make matters worse, a shimmer appeared just above them, releasing a horde of Radham monsters. Nevertheless, both Tekkamen continued to fight, destroying Sol-Tekka and Radham alike.

Deathscythe mumbled, "Oh, this is just great. Now the Radham are attacking too?"

Wing ripped through a Radham, "A minor complication, but that doesn't affect the mission."

Deathsycthe looked at his partner, who showed no signs of slowing down or stopping. This guy is too much. "Well there's no turning back now." With that, he jetted to his next target.

______

Space Knight HQ

The remaining Knights were immediately called into the briefing room. Aki was there waiting as she gave out their mission. They were to stop the Radham attack at New Edwards as well as the gundams that appeared there. As she told them, it was painfully obvious that many of the others were missing.

"Hey, Chief. Where are the others?"

"You'll be briefed on the way. But we have to move out now."

___________

As the chaos and destruction of the military, the Radham and the gundams continued, many inside the base began to panic. Trieze was not one of them.

"Lady, the actors are all here. I believe it's time to raise the curtain."

"Right."

Mombassa Area

"We've received orders to commence Operation Daybreak."

Inside his Sol-Tekka, Zechs gave the order, "Roger. All units descend now."

With that, scores of Sol-tekka were launched and fell from the sky like dark hail.

__________

The Blue Earth 2

"Are you saying they were the gundams?"

Aki had revealed to them the truth about the five newcomers, "We believe that they used the Space Knights as a cover for their own agendas."

"What agenda?" David asked

"I am uncertain. But it appears to be focused on the Earth military or more better yet, the Specials military force."

Natasha growled, "Those traitors. When I get my hands on them..."

Aki cut her off, "That can wait. Right now, there are also Radham in the area. We'll deal with them first and then worry about the gundams."

Nobody noticed that Yumi hadn't said a single word throughout the exchange, or the worried look on her face.

___________

Deathscythe cut down yet another Sol-Tekka, but was rammed in the back by a Radham. Angrily, Duo spun around and cut the creature down.

"This is crazy. Two enemies at once. Huh?"

Suddenly, the sky began to fill with light. Wing and Deathscythe moved just as beams of light fell from the sky and blasted the entire area, wiping out a good portion of the Radham and Specials. Wing looked up at the explosion.

A Voltekka?

On the nearby hill, Tekkamen Heavyarms and Sandrock stood, watching the destruction. Heavyarm's Voltekka cells closed up.

"Because you're all bunched up."

Seeing another group coming at them, Heavyarms shot through the air and began firing, energy beam bring down whoever came at him. A few Specials tried to move in on him, but were blocked by Sandrock.

"Please surrender and I'll spare you're lives."

However, his warning went on deaf ears as the Sol-Tekkas fired on him. Saying nothing more, Sandrock dove in and sliced them with his lancers. Meanwhile, Heavyarms was still applying pressure, destroying his enemies left and right. Their actions, however did not go unnoticed by the other gundams

Deathscythe remarked, "This is just too good to be true."

He had no idea how right he was.

______________

As the battle raged, The Blue Earth 2 flew overhead.

"Remember, deal with the Radham first before engaging the gundams."

"Roger."

Three ships separated from the Blue Earth and out into the battlefield. Also, two other objects dropped out as well. All the Space Knights called forth their powers.

"Tek-Setta!!!"

"Pegasus. Tek-Setta!!!"

Four beams of light carried the sky and formed into their armored forms.

"Tekkaman Hiver!"

"Tekkaman Vesna!"

"Tekkaman Sommer!"

"Tekkaman Dead!"

Meanwhile, the flying robot, Pegasus ejected Aki, now clad in her scarlet tekka-form.

The Space Knights swooped down instantly and attacked the Radham. The gundams watched them, unsure of their motives.

"I don't get it? Are they on our side?" Deathscythe asked.

Sandrock shook his head, "No. They're attacking only the Radham."

Trowa continued fighting, "As long as they stay out of my way."

As they all fought, none of them realized that around the world, Alliance military bases were being taken over by the Specials in a coup de tat. At the New Edwards base, Trieze has arranged for the pacifist leaders to escape one of his shuttles. As the shuttle took off, Wing immediately identified it.

"That's it!"

Wasting no time, Wing shot into the air, leaving the others to battle on their own. As the shuttle reached altitude…

"Marshall!"

Noventa looked out to see the red and blue tekkaman shoot pass the shuttle and directly in front of it. Putting away the lancer, his arm stretched out and the Voltekka cannon appeared.

"Now young man. Don't be foolish."

Wing fire a yellow bolt of energy, engulfing the shuttle and causing it to explode. Wing laughed at the scene.

"Mission complete."

Meanwhile, in another shuttle, Septum watched the entire event in horror.

"What have they done? Marshall Noventa."

Meanwhile, the Radham as well as the military, was completely destroyed, leaving only the gundams and the Space Knights in confrontation. For a while, neither of them moved a muscle.

"You guys fell for it after all. This entire battle was meaningless."

Everyone blinked as the fifth tekkaman landed in between them. At that time, Wing had just returned.

"What do you mean?"

Shenlong turned to the gundams, "You've just been lured into OZ's devious little trap." He looked straight at Wing, "You just wiped out the Alliance's pacifists."

"That's impossibl..."

Just then, an announcement came over all the broadcast of the world. It was General Septum.

"This is the colonies act of war against us. We were discussing peace talks when they sent their tekkamen and assassinated the leader of these talks, Field Marshall Noventa." A tape then played of Wing destroying the shuttle. "I repeat. This was a brutal attack against the Earth. But we will never yield to the colonies. We must fight them to the bitter end."

The message ended, shocking both gundams and Space Knights alike. Shenlong continued, "This was all set up by Trieze Khzrenada, leader of the Special. He set us up like puppets and we fell for it." He turned and began to walk away, "But I'm not going to stop. I will fight OZ, even if I have to do it alone.

Behind him, a devastated Wing clenched his fist tightly. What have I...what have I done?

And now, the war truly begins...

OZ has now taken center stage and Lady Une first assignment is to destroy the gundams. She plans on destroying the New Edwards base in order to get the gundams while Heavyarms and Shenlong go after Trieze. But it is Wufei's blade that corners Trieze.
