Chapter 2: Gundam Meisters

Meanwhile, in the AEU capital…

As the council of leaders gathered to discuss the recent defeat of the enact, one of the politicians could speak with outrage as the video playing the very defeat of the Enact ended, "Our newest unit… completely outclassed!"

Another politician commented, "Do you think they attacked us to prevent us from making a strong unit?"

A female politician then replied, "That's not the only problem. They showed the world we had exceeded the maximum amount of units allowed. Everyone is demanding information on this."

Then another politician spoke, "There is also a rumor that the union or HRL [Human Reform League] stopped the terrorist attack, but to create those gundams would require a large sum of money so it is possible."

Then they continued discussing till the head politician spoke up, "One important point: Celestial Being's gundam completely surpass our units…."

Just then Treize Khushrenada entered the meeting. Then he spoke, "it may surpass almost all of our units, save two. All of the two mobile suits are classified under the same class of mobile suit, the Tallgeese."

The main politician stared at him and spoke, "Are you suggesting we authorize the use of the Tallgeese? Are you insane? All the pilots who tested it died because they piloted that machine!"

Treize then replied, "Yet I and Zechs have mastered it. Is that not enough? You will be able to capture the gundams if we have a mobile suit that rivals the gundams… And you need not to then consider the insane option of manufacturing more Tallgeeses that our military has been growing closer to with their capture. Zechs and I are willing to carry our burden as soldiers of the AEU to boost our forces to great sovereignty."

The politician then considered and then spoke, "Very well…. Capture the gundams. That will be your priority. And we will authorize you and Zechs to be allowed the use of the Tallgeese for this purpose. General Khushrenada, we expect great results from you."

Treize replied with a smile, "Expect them. But we won't begin operations as of yet… a favorable moment is required." Then he walked off, leaving the politicians to discuss other matters with the gundam issue out of the way.

At a deserted island somewhere…

Lockon declared to Setsuna and Issei as they sat at the river bank, "Our broadcast has been shown everywhere. They call us the mysterious army that will stop all wars in the world. But I am sure no one actually trusts us."

Issei laughed and responded to Lockon's declaration, "We are mysterious after all… Nobody would trust us because our motives remain unknown, because nobody would really be insane to use force to eradicate war! Hahaha!"

Then a female voice responded to Issei's comment, "Then let's gets them to trust us. We will show them proof through our actions." The voice was coming from a young girl dressed in an explorer's outfit being carried by a young ponytailed man.

Lockon spoke, "Wang Liu Mei. You got here pretty fast."

Issei remarked, "Yeah, and you left me with no time to slack…"

Wang Liu Mei smiled and spoke, "Time for the second mission. Issei, it's going to be like this for a long time."

Issei sighed and spoke, "I'm prepared… Let's go then!" He grabbed his katana that he left nearby and headed towards the base seemingly with enthusiasm.

Lockon commented, "A real hypocrite. What is he… a slacker or a hardworking pilot? That I will never know… he's hard to understand."

In space, back at Ptolemaios, a female voice announced, "We will begin the second mission from point 330."

Somewhere in the corridors, a young man in an orange pilot suit known as Allelujah spoke, "An actual fighting test. I hate it."

Another pilot in a purple pilot suit called Tiera Erde responded, "We need to know our gundam's potential."

The other pilot protested, "That's true… but…"

Then a brown haired lady interrupted, "Sorry for pushing you."

Allelujah spoke, "Sumeragi-san."

Tiera erde then commented, "No problem, it's for our readiness."

The lady called Sumeragi then spoke, "Be strong."

Tiera erde then replied, "I don't plan to be weak."

Allelujah spoke, "Let's go. By the way Sumeragi-san, you should save that for Issei." The two pilots then handed for the hangar bay.

Sumeragi smiled. She knew what Allelujah was commenting about. Issei had very low tolerance for heavy manual jobs. He did not like the very idea of having to do daily interventions without his slacking routine.

Later on, after the six gundams had met with each other and they then proceeded to their destination, Ceylon Island. Setsuna ran through the mission details in his mind recalling what Sumeragi had briefed them in regards to their second mission. Given that there had been racial conflicts between the Sinhalese and the Tamils at Ceylon island (also known as Sri Lanka), as Celestial Being, they will intervene in this conflict, a start of their campaign to eradicate all wars. Then he could hear Lockon announcing, "Arriving at Ceylon Island at the time specified by Sumeragi. I expect a good result today."

Allelujah replied, "That would be good."

Tiera erde on the other hand replied in a monotonous tone, "I will do my best."

Issei then responded, "Sounds great. Battles are nothing more than a piece of cake! It's a sure successful battle!"

Lockon smiled and then spoke, "Do as you like." Then he noticed Setsuna's silence. He tried to call to him, but Setsuna was busy staring at the battlefield's situation. He was then reminded of his past… under the KPSA, a terrorist group. Then he recalled a gundam saving him from a certain death… then he charged ahead, thinking I can prevent all these… I am Gundam. I have power. I will destroy war with my hands. Me and my gundam… we can do this!

Then Allelujah and Tiera erde moved away according to plan. Issei and Lockon sighed as they both boosted in a feeble attempt to catch up with Setsuna and the Exia. When they arrived, Setsuna had already begun eliminating the enemy mobile suits with easy. Issei then joined in with setsuna to cover his back, while Lockon got ready to take down the enemy artillery unit they noticed.

As he continued to destroy the enemy mobile suits with his GN rifle, Issei muttered as he turned towards another mobile suit, "Peace… you have destroyed peace. You are an epitome of war, and thus, it is my duty to end you..." He then whipped out his GN katana and sliced down that mobile suit with great ruthlessness.

Setsuna on the other hand, had managed to take down the enemy mobile suits easily, but then being struck by artillery attacks, he was unable to do anything. As the firing stopped, before he could make another move, the enemy artillery mobile suits were shot down by the Dynames. Lockon silently whispered under his breath, "Dynames, locked on and firing!" He then proceeded to finish off the remnants of the enemy mobile suit team.

Then even as Issei observed Setsuna's actions, he could overhear Lockon muttering through the comm, "Overkill Setsuna!" He grinned. He wasn't about to let some kid overdo him. He then jumped into the fray once again, in the name of peace, exterminating more of the enemy mobile suits.

While the three gundams were busy with their rampage on the battlefield, Allelujah on his Kyrios had managed to perform a successful bombing of the HRL's military base on Ceylon Island. Tiera erde on the other hand, had managed to destroy a convoy of new HRL mobile suits with great ease.

Then when they had finished cleaning up the battlefield, leaving the remnants of the Tamil forces to retreat, Lockon sighed in relief, "That's it, Setsuna. That's it."

Issei then responded, "That was a tiring job… huh?" He and Lockon noticed something too late. Two of the Sinhalese mobile suits were running after the tamil mobile suits. As they ran past the Exia, Issei had a fear that Setsuna would fail to make a move. Then he moved. With great speed, Setsuna sliced up the two mobile suits with ease.

Issei then finally released the breath he held back in shock, muttering, "Well done."

Setsuna then spoke, "This is a Gundam Meister."

Lockon then called to the two other meisters, "Let's go! Issei, we better hurry if you want to get some more slack time!" The two gundam meisters, particularly Issei responded with great enthusiasm at the end of the mission.

Issei smiled as they begun to leave Ceylon island. He thought to himself Miyuki-san, don't worry… I will preserve the last wish of your brother and yours as well. A peaceful world…

Who is Miyuki? How is she related to Issei? How did she die [your first spoiler!]? You will find out soon enough, and that will relate to a grudge Issei has a certain someone. But do take note that you will see sooner or later more focus on Setsuna, cos like I said, Setsuna is the MAIN character of the story, not Issei Yamato.
