Chapter 4
"Coordinators vs. Newtypes"
NNE
ZAFT GROUP
From a distance away, they see explosions by the thousands at the directions they are heading towards, at the same time they detected the chatters of Earth Forces Mobile Suits pilots screaming in an open frequency, as they came under attack from an unknown foe firing small multiple at them after being warned to turned back.
Then silence.
Everyone on the ZAFT group was on alert with guns pointed everywhere and waiting for an attack that may come any moment. Shinn, in Force Impulse Gundam, was nervous maybe a bit frightened and then he hears a familiar voice calling them on the radio
"Shinn, Lunamaria, Rey," they recognize who it is calling them
'Judah' was in everyone's thought the voice warns them
"Turnback now or you are all going to regret it"
"Judah? Where are you?" Luna spoke
"Down here on the ground" he said
They stop,and look down on an open field lit up by flares, and there stood one intimidating Mobile Suit. A Gundam holding a double beam rifle and standing by his sides are 2 black mobile suits they identify as blackbirds.
"Look guys, don't take this personally but, you are not wanted here so I suggest you scram, otherwise" he raised his gun and the others right at them.
"Thing's will get rather nasty if you," his instinct kicks in suddenly, when he felt danger screaming all over his body.
Judah never finish his warning to them, as BABI fired its beam rifle at Judah MS, but he deflected it with ZZ forearm shield.
"WHAT THE HELL!"
"You Idiots!"Rey shouted at the pilot who opened fired on Judah, then two more MS opened fired on him as well, it was too late to stop itnow
"Damn it! All units commence attack now!" Rey ordered then he sees flashes in the night.
"Evasive maneuvers!"
From the darkness came 3 AIM-233Missiles and 2 more from the two blackbirds from below and beside Judah MS, they fired the moment ZAFT committed a hostility on them
The initial strike took out only 7 BABIs, 5 DINNs and 4 GOUFs, and severely damaging 5 GOUFs and 5 DINNs, the rest survive with minor damage, for unlike the EF, they were already on their guard once Judah appeared to them.
The Impulse and the two ZAKU (Rey Za Burrel on the White Zaku, Red on the Red Zaku) was barely able to survive that first strike, now they are fighting against mobile suits that their targeting system cannot see, so they had to rely on visual targeting instead.
"Keep the others busy," Judah ordered the others as he launches upward.
"The Impulse is mine" Judah flew up to confront Shinn on a one on one battle.
"You wanted a rematch, Shinn well here is you chance, Idiot!"
Judah face off with Shinn with his Mobile suit, MSF-Z010 Gundam Double Zeta versus ZGMF-X56S Force Impulse Gundam
"Only this time I'm going to drill some sense into that fix skull of yours Shinn Asuka!" Judah began firing his double beam rifle at the Impulse.
The Impulse avoided the incoming beams and then returns fire; Judah quickly transforms ZZ into G-Fortress Mode and continued firing at the Impulse with beam cannons with relentlessness, as not to let Shinn counterattack back at him, and keeping him on the defensive.
Judah uses the RDF air combat tactics combined with Anything Goes Martial Arts Style Fighting they develop for Mecha battle. The ZZ came closer and closer to the Impulse and never even once did the beam fire of the Impulse touch ZZ as it zig zags all around the Impulse and taunting Shinn as to make him angry and loose control.
"Mann! Can't you even shoot straight?" he said, "I saw that 10 miles away"
"Shut up!" Shinn yelled and fired a beam and misses ZZ again.
Judah can see that the training on Mobile Suit battles against a Gundam is working nicely 'Looks like the Admiral's training is paying off quite nicely' he thought
--X--
Ranma, Maximillian Sterling, and several others reviewed the battles of the Mobile Suits on C.E.Earth. In technological and tactical, they are different from the VF and they have their limitations, and in comparison, the VF still have the advantage in a melee battle against multiple target, where the MS seems to go for a one on one battle. Now they needed to raise that advantage higher, both in technology and training if they go up against a Mobile Suits, especially those Mobile Suits called Gundams.
They built the Gundams from collected data, and use the Gundams to train their pilots,then RDF Engineers thought of an Idea, what if they build a Mobile Suit using VF technology as an experiment?
They built several machines, the last one; they built, is one very powerful machine.
The MSF-Z010 Gundam Double Zeta, something the Robotech Engineers built from reverse engineered MS technology, enhanced it with RDF technology, added prototype systems not even the current VF possess yet.
Double Zeta is different from the other RDF Gundams, C.E.Earth and VF and they are not sure how it will perform in an actual battle condition, so they gave it to Judah to test it.
--X--
When Judah ZZ started his CQC fight with Shinn's Impulse Gundam, ZZ quickly kept the Impulse in the defensive. ZZ got a direct hit with its double-barreled beam rifle, the Impulse survived; however, when Shinn sees the Impulse's power source decrease very fast in that one hit alone, that is when his trouble started.
The Phase Shift Armor drained so much power in the Impulse's battery, Shinn now found himself in big trouble when he sees the battery Indicator of the Secondary power source to Zero, and the Primary in half life.
"I lost that much power, darn it!" he cursed as he is still putting his Impulse in defensive maneuvers, then his rifle was blown to bits as he was about to take aim.
"Darn it!" he gritted his teeth 'It's almost like he knows all my moves before I make them'
With the Impulse rifle lost, Judah put away his rifle and uses his hyper beam saber this time, as Shinn did the same and pulled out his as well, and there they began exchanging blows.
"Darn you Judah!" he shouted angrily as he deflected Judah slashes with his shield and Judah did the same.
As the fight progress, Shinn watches Judah moves and sees something familiar 'Those moves'
Shinn suddenly remembers the simulation battles they made back at the Minerva and sees the resemblance. Judah is using the same moves he did in the simulation.
Flashback
During his stay at the Minerva, Judah had a chance to try out their MS Simulator. In those Simulations, Judah never had to change the OS, for a Natural's use and it shows how talented he is, not to mention beating Minerva's Top Ace Shinn Asuka.
In every simulation battle, Shinn lost to Judah 2 out of 3 engagements, those that Shinn wins, Judah purposely loose to him by throwing away his weapon, and that really irritated Shinn.
When Judah threw away the last simulation battle with Shinn, Shinn confronted him like impatient child, and asks angrily ask him.
"Why, why do you keep throwing away the fight like that?" he said angrily, grabbing Judah by the collar, Judah answered him
"Because you are an Immature, self-righteous, jerk!" Judah grab Shinn, and gave him The Anything Goes Judo Style Body Slam on the hard floor, which hurt Shinn's back when he hit solid ground.
Judah looks down on him and shook his head with disappointment and told him in his face
"I threw away that simulation battle, because the person I was fighting against started to act like a child on a temper tantrum, that's why" he said as he lookdown on him shaking his head
"You already Lost even when you Won" he told him and lectured him
"Shinn, you can't be a good pilot If you let your anger control you, and if you don't control it, its gonna control you and kill you and get others and your friends killed!" Judah shouted in Shinn's ears,Shinn remembered that too well, and how he hated being lectured.
"Why they let you pilot the Impulse or pilot any mobile suit for that matter is beyond me, where it is obvious, you have some serious issues, that you needed to settle first," Judah said questioningly and berating him at the same time.
"Tell me Shinn, did you became a soldier, to protect and defend the PLANTs to protect Coordinators? Or maybe you join for vengeance, to kill anyone who is an enemy, but then," he look at him straight in the eye.
"Who is your Enemy?" he questioned
Athrun said the same question on board the Minerva after Junius 7 was destroyed. Now in this real battle with Judah, Shinn feels like he's still treating him like they were still in the simulation and not taking him seriously as an opponent, and its making Shinn angrier than normal.
End Flashbacks
"Fight me seriously!" he shouted and in his mind a seed exploded
Judah suddenly felt Shinn's skill peak up very fast, which can only means that,
'Shinn went berserk again' he shook his head in dismay 'Stupid idiot, doing the same thing in the simulation, and I thought he had learned something by now,' he blocks the Impulse Saber with his, and then gave it a good kick in the groin straight up.
Shinn felt the force of the kick transferred right into his seat and into his groin real good.
"" he couldn't speak since he's still in agony. If he ever had any plans on having children naturally, well he just lost it.
"I will, if you grow up Shinn, but if I was serious, you'd be dead already" he replied and gave a punch on the Impulse head.
Judah reads the Impulse movements like a martial artist who reads his opponents body movements and then react against it quickly, He have not noticed it yet, but for in some instances, he was reacting before Shinn makes the move, and he knew exactly what he was about to do and react against it before he does it.
Judah continues to block dodge and deflect Shinn's attacks on him, using his Martial Arts training for close quarter combat that came very handy and is making Shinn irritated, as he sees all his efforts wasted.
"Stop moving around!" Shinn shouted, and swings his beam saber in an empty space, while still feeling some pain in his southern region. Judah scoffs at that order
"Yeah, right like I'm that stupid to do what you say," he replied
"Maybe in your dreams Shinn!" he shouted back and Shinn's response is a sword slash on the side.
Judah move up above him to avoid a side way slash and did a Ranma Saotome Special, His foot on Tatewaki Kuno's face
"What?" Shinn look up, and the first thing he sees is a foot landing on the Impulse's face. ZZ gave it some force, crushing the Impulse head and pushing the Impulse downward.
"Time to end this" Judah declares,
"Shinn Asuka, You're going down!"
The Impulse drop down towards the ground from a few thousand feet up, Shinn was about to react before the Impulse hits the ground. ZZ followed it, pulled its other beam saber and began striking the weak sections of the Impulse with multiple slashes, namely the Joints of the arms and legs and its neck, and with those fast slashes, he decapitated the Impulse, but kept the cockpit section intact.
"Shinn!" Luna look in horror, when she saw the Impulse fell from the sky in pieces, she rushed towards the Impulse chest section and got hold of it.
When Rey Za Burrel, saw the Impulse fell, he knew that their mission have failed.
"All forces fall back! I repeat, fall back!"
What remains of ZAFT fall back along with the VTOL planes that the VF left untouched during the battle Judah and his squadron did not pursue them; instead, they were recalled by the Prometheus to return.
Judah watches them retreat, and looking at the chest of the Impulse, where Shinn is, he had figured that he is ranting right about now for loosing to Judah again, only this time in a real fight.
In two separate battles, the UN Spacy defeated both EA and ZAFT forces, in just one night, without loosing one single plane.
The next morning, news helicopters were buzzing above the two battlefields where ZAFT and EA Mobile Suits lie in wrecks and both Gov't is denying involvement or knowledge of what transpired there last night.
