Prologue 1

Experiment starting….

A man stood alone in the corner, watching a capsule. Machinery whirled and the capsule was surrounded by glass windows.

"Is this the power needed to change humanity?" He pressed the button…

Chapter 1

During the 4 year gap

The news headline….

The Federation are pushing for stricter measures in order for the following nations to limit Kataron's activities. The Autonomous Peacekeeping Force has been dispatched to the middle east and eliminated a Kataron base.

A-Laws commander declared that although this was a victory, there was a long way before Kataron would be eliminated.

Rick turned off the TV, he reached into his laptop, "hmm, no mission yet?" His cellphone had rung, he turned it on. "Hello?"

"Raven, Klaus wants you to return to space, it seems that there is a high possibility that A-laws will conduct attacks on our asteroid bases."

The response was immediate, "Okay, I'll be there in a few days. Have my Flag prepped."

Both ends of the phone hung up. "Damn A-Laws, they are becoming more aggressive…"

Packing up was easy, it was not unusual to move frequently as Rick did not want to expose himself as a Kataron agent and be an easy target for the Federation. He also loaded his hand gun and switched on the safety.

The spaceport was the destination, he can proceed to the base from there. He showed his identification to an inspecting officer and went in the shuttle.

At Kataron base, Jerinim….

"Hurry and get those supplies ready!"

"How's the Enacts?"

"We are working on them right now, they should be ready within several hours."

Klaus contacted the commander of the base, "I assume preparations are going according as planned. How are the Enacts?"

"The Refits are going as fast as they can. The suits should be ready within 3 hours."

In an A-laws controlled airspace…

An A-Laws cruiser was charged with another wipe out mission. The captain received word that there was a hidden Kataron base within the asteroid and he was determined to put the menace to an end.

"Man, those Kataron pests never stay down. Have GNXIII squads do a quick reconnaissance before the attack."

Within minutes, the pilots were notified and were already boarding their machines.

In shuttle…

Rick carefully glanced at his watch, it was almost time, at the left side of the window, he can see Federation cruisers in space and several mobile suits as escort. "They are getting ready for more mop-ups."

He arrived at Proud 3, where Rick was picked up by a Kataron agent, waiting in another transport. The Flag was already prepared, it was helpful that they had received his orders in upgrading the seat to reduce the G-forces.

Meeting him along the way was another pilot, they saluted each other. "Raven, it's nice to see you on the battlefield." "I guess, but we don't have time to rest."

The alarm started blaring, Rick pointed to the pilots, "head to your units, now!"

Now the base started to shake as blasts ruppled the surface.

Rick turned on the communicator, "Alpha units, follow me. Beta units head off the enemy."

"Raven, Flag launching!" The suit transformed into Flight mode, where it immediately dodged 2 shots from GN-XIIIs.

6 suits also came from the Kataron base. 4 of them immediately engaged the 4 A-Laws units. 2 came under fire immediately, Raven fired off several shots but the enemies evaded as well. He closely observed the battle,

"No Matthew, you're too close! Get back!" The Realdo hardly had time to respond as it got speared in the cockpit by the GN lance.

"Damn!" Rick engaged the one that destroyed his companion, he activated one plasma blade and pressed hard against the lance.

2 more Kataron suits were destroyed in the melee.

The custom Flag did a spinkick that knocked the red suit away, "Remaining units, head for the neighbouring asteroids, I'll buy us time!" Rick dodged many multiple shots and flew a circle around and fired off several missiles that took out one enemy's leg.

The red suit's pilot was furious, "A rebel like you just did damage to me?!" He sped towards the black Flag. He drew out the lance to be countered by a plasma blade.

Rick gritted his teeth, "You're gonna…" The Plasma blade pressed harder, "have to…" The left hand began to move,

"DO BETTER THAN THAT!" The Flag's left hand grabbed the hand holding the lance, and stabbed the plasma blade deep into the GN-XIII's cockpit, Raven split off before the suit exploded.

The Realdos waited patiently behind several asteroids, the Flag was still getting the Federation's attention. He sent them a transmission, "I will lure them to the asteroids, once the A-Laws units and my unit pass your location, open fire."

The kataron pilots nodded, "yes sir!"

The red suits began to attack the Flag, it evaded many shots and transformed into flight mode again. They followed the Flag like bait. The pilot of the black suit grinned, "That's right, follow me." The Kataron suits remained unmoving until the suits passed.

Rick pushed on the brakes and transformed back to mobile suit form, the red suits sped ahead and the Kataron suits fired off multiple shots and destroyed one of the GN-XIIIs.

The remaining two broke off the formation, one of them spotted the Kataron base and sped towards it again. A Realdo blocked it's way only to be blasted in the cockpit.

"No!" The Flag moved to intercept but ended up being blocked by the other suit.

By then, Rick used his blade rifle to counter the GN lance.

He struggled to move to the left, and then dashed ahead to the other GN-XIII.

The one closest to the base took out a time charge and threw it at the base. The black Flag already cut the GN-XIII in half with the rifle-blade. But the damage was done…

The Kataron asteroid base rippled and then exploded from within. The last remaining GN-XIII sent a transmission to it's mothership that the mission was accomplished. It turned towards it when something began to speed up towards it.

"Come back here!" The Flag dodged the GN-XIII's shots and plunged both plasma blades into the suit, killing the pilot.

The surviving Kataron pilots took a moment to observe the destroyed base for a bit before being sent a transmission to head for Rezols, another asteroid base.

The other Kataron pilots were relieved that they were still alive after facing off against A-laws units. Rick silently transformed into flight mode and headed to his new home.

Once there, they were greeted by Kataron soldiers, they saluted Raven once there. "I heard you got several more kills sir, congrats." Raven looked back, "The kills were irrelevant, we still lost the base. It's nothing to be proud of."

"Attention, we have something that bought our attention, head to the hangar."

Rick confused, headed to the hangar where him and others saw a large, opaque container.

"So what's this?"

A scientist came from the stairs of the observation post, "I am sure you would be surprised." He made a motion to open the top layer of the container.

There were full of gasps but Rick was busy staring at it.

"It's a…."

The face was all-too familiar, "….Gundam."

The now-dead eyes stared right back at Rick.
