(The Minerva)
Rey just launched from the Minerva.
"Gil is on the Minerva, there is no way I'll let you destroy it." He said as he flew off.
Just then both Quattro and Neo sensed his presense.
"Emma and Apolly protect the ships I'm going to help the pilot of that white Zaku." He said as he went to Rey's location.
(Shinn and Lunamaria)
As they flew through debris they watch for the Chaos, Gaia, and Abyss.
"Damn it…the Minerva…" he began.
"The ship is finished if we don't get back there." Said Lunamaria
"Hey I know that!" said Shinn loudly.
The moment they came out of the debris they got fired on by the three stolen Gundams, but were able to dodge it. Shinn quickly fired back by first his Impulse's Railguns forcing the Gaia to dodge. Then, it continued his barrage by firing his beam cannons forcing them all to back off.
(the Minerva)
"How many starboard thrusters are still functioning?" asked Athrun suddenly.
At first Gladys was unsure whether to answer but Durandul signaled her to answer.
"Six but if we go out into open space we will be an open target, they'll use us for target practice." She stated.
"Fire all of the starboard thrusters along with starboard weapons. The explosion will the ship in one motion along with the surrounding rock." Ordering Captain Gladys what to do in the situation.
"That insane! Imagine the damage to the hull if we did that!" said Arthur
"It's more important to get out of here. We're nothing more than a target and it will only get worse the longer we stay." He answered then got quiet.
"Talia." Said Durandul telling her to do Athrun's suggestion
"All right will give it a try." Said Talia Gladys
"But captain…" said Arthur who was still unsure of the plan.
"Will talk about his later Arthur." Said Captain Gladys
(Rey and Quattro)
Lieutenant Quattro had reached Rey when they both sensed Neo attack and avoided his barrel guns.
"You two are something else White baldy and Mr. Gold." As he saw them dodge his surprise attack.
As they continued his attack 3 Strike Daggers came and tried to assist by firing on the Zaku Phantom and the Hyaku Shiki.
"Get out!" yelled Rey as he fired and destroyed one of the Strike Daggers.
"Stand back you two. These two are a handful…get the ship that stuck." He said to the two remaining suits.
As they started to go after the Minerva, Rey and Lieutenant Quattro went after them but were stopped by Neo who fired at them again. However, Rey opened a path for them by firing a barrage and lieutenant Quattro used the opportunity to fire at one of the Daggers and successfully destroyed. After destroying the 2nd dagger he charged at the final one and dodged its shots. However he flew up after reaching it and flew for his trick. Rey appeared right in front of him and cut the suits right arm off with the Zaku's axe, then Quattro flew down and cut the remain suit in two with his gold beam saber.
(Shinn and Lunamaria)
Lunamaria fires at the Abyss with her Cannon but it evades it. Meanwhile, Shinn is being chased by the Gaia and the Chaos, however makes a surprising move by charging right at them causing the two Gundams to break off. After getting them off his tail Shinn fired missiles at them which they were able to evade.
"This guy… he's so…" said Stella becoming agitated
"Damn it! It's just like last time! I can't shoot this guy down! It's frustrating!" yelled Sting in his cockpit.
(The Minerva)
"Bogey one is closing distance 500." Said the CIC soldier.
"All hands brace yourselves for impact!" said over the Minerva's intercom before she started Athrun's suggestions.
"Starboard thrusters to maximum!" she ordered which happened right after gave the order.
"Starboard side weapons fire!" ordered Arthur.
Then the Minerva's beam cannons, triple cannon, and missile launchers fired. By the force of the explosion the Minerva was sent the Minerva flying in the direction of Bogey one along with debris. The Blaze Zaku Phantom and Hyaku Shiki move out of the debris path.
(the Argama)
"Nice strategy, but that didn't seem to be the captain's idea more than likely there may be a veteran with more experience on the ship who recommended the idea." Bright said to himself.
"Apolly and Emma return to the ship. The Minerva can end this." He ordered.
"Roger!" they said as they returned to the ship.
(the Minerva)
"Turn our Bow 30! Fire at Bogey one" order Gladys.
"Aiming Tannhäuser! Target Bogey one." Ordered Arthur.
"Fire!" ordered Gladys.
Then the Minerva fired a large beam of position energy. Even though Bogey one evaded most of it still got hit in the starboard section of the ship.
"We had them on the ropes and now there back in the game!" Neo said frustrated.
He started to charge at the Minerva however Rey and Quattro fired at him forcing to break off his charge. He then ordered for a retreat which the Girty Lue then did by firing return signals.
(Auel, Sting, and Stella)
"Game over with only 2 kills." Said Auel disappointed.
"Its out of our hands." Said Sting frustrated. "Stella! Neo is calling us! He's saying come back." She added.
"Right." She said quiet but happy.
(the Minerva)
"Bogey one is withdrawing ma'am" said the CIC.
"Power levels on Shinn's and Lunamaria's machines are critical." Said Meyrin.
"Captain the engines and port side Heat sensors were damaged during the explosion." Said Arthur.
"Captain Gladys, we'll think of another plan later." Said Durandul.
(Later)
Kamille was with Rey, Shinn, Lunamaria, and Meyrin. He was informed about the Bloody Valentine along with Athrun role in the war. A little later they ran into Athrun who was sitting by himself but when they went to congratulate for helping saving the ship only for for shinn to insult him for being in Orb. Meanwhile, Talia thanked Bright for if it was not for him the Minerva could have been destroyed. Meanwhile in the Argama Lieutenant Quattro was think of his newtype experience with Rey.
"That boy is similar to me in some ways" said Quattro to himself.
(Dark side of the Moon)
The Alexandria came out of the portal and were in the Daedlus Moon base. Jamaican wondered where he and his ship were when he noticed the Strike Daggers approaching from the earth alliance base.
