PS: It's SPOILERS for season 2 from this chapter onwards.
Now on with Chapter 2, enjoy!
Gundam 00 chapter 2
"Kyrios cleared to launch. Allelujah you have control."
"I have control. Allelujah haptism, Kyrios gundam launching." With that the final operational gundam was deployed and took up position on the Ptolemy's left flank.
"Kyrios in position, ready to defend the Ptolemaios."
"Nadleeh, maintaining defense for the Ptolemaios. I have a visual on Exia and the GN arms, ready to cover if necessary."
Feldt relayed the status of all four units to Sumeragi. "Right begin mission, we're not leaving until Corner's ship is destroyed. Kyrios, Nadleeh, spread out the enemy ranks and attack the smaller groups."
"Roger that" the two pilots replied in unison.
It's all up to you now Setsuna she thought before ordering missiles on the oncoming enemy forces.

"Setsuna, aim for its GN drives while I distract it." Lasse radioed
"Roger that." Setsuna dove for the GN drives but was cut off with Alvatore's beam cannons. Lasse's distraction proved futile against the assault.
"Did you get through?"
"No he's got beam cannons on the sides." replied the young pilot
"Dock with me, I'll cover you while you get close enough to destroy the cannons."
"Roger that."
Exia dived for cover as the GN arms came up shooting from behind. The gundam and the armor docked and proceeded to dodge the Tau drives beams while inching closer to the cannons.
"You will die here, celestial being!" yelled Corner as he unleashed the Mobile Armor's pincer-claws
Exia undocked just in time to strike the GN cannon and just barley avoided the Alvatore's claws. The beam cannons exploded but the Alvatore did not weaken. Lasse circled in and fired beam rounds at the claws allowing Setsuna to get away from their proximity.
"You thought It'd be easy didn't you, going against the Alvatore in those toys." Corner launched a barrage of missiles towards Exia and fired beams at the GN arms from his remaining cannons. "How ridiculous!"
Both pilots were caught up in the barrage and were prevented from docking.
"Setsuna, we need to penetrate his GN shield, hold him off I'll come underneath."
"Understood." Setsuna gained speed and circled the Alvatore drawing all it's firepower on Exia. When the gundam completed its revolution it docked with the GN arms near the cannon-less side of the Alvatore. Once docked Exia pulled up and sliced away the right claw while Lasse took out the left.
"Eat this you bastard!" yelled the mechanic as he fired the bazooka straight for Alvatore's exposed engine.
Exia and the GN arms separated and flew away from the inevitable blast that only moments ago was the Alvatore. Lasse steered back towards the wreckage to confirm the kill.
"Looks like we got him, Setsuna"
"Wrong," Alejandro cut in as the smoke and debris cleared to reveal a shiny golden mobile suit "did you really think I'd go down that easily?" even though it looked like an older generation suit, Setsuna knew not to underestimate its defense capability due to it's golden coating.
The mobile suit charged with surprising speed, Exia and the GN arms separated just a second before the Alvaaron's beam saber would have sliced them apart.
"Meet the Alvaaron, you annoying phantoms of Aeolia Schenberg" Yelled Alejandro as he swung around and sliced into the GN arms
"Lasse!" Setsuna fired his beam rifle but it's blasts were all deflected by the Alvaaron's GN golden coating "Damn it, I'm gonna kill you!"
Tossing the GN arms aside the Alvaaron locked on to Exia and fired homing missiles. Exia destroyed them all with the Vulcan cannon before charging ahead with the GN sword. Corner dodged Exia's blow before smiling
"You don't have a chance Gundam, I've got a secret weapon. Go ahead, Ribbons, activate the Alvaaron's true power!"
"I'm sorry, but that's not going to happen" Said the green haired boy who popped up on the Alvaaron's HUD
"WHAT! Ribbons, what are you talking about?"
"Alejandro Corner, I've used you to get to Veda. Now that I'm in control there is no longer a need for you. Goodbye! You were a wonderful tool."
During the span of their talk Setsuna was able to come around from behind and deliver a critical slash to the Alvaaron.
"Damn you Ribbons!" was the last thing Alejandro said before the Alvaaron cockpit exploded all around him.
Not wasting time Setsuna flew back to the GN arms "Lasse! Lasse, can you hear me?" even though Exia was within range of the mobile armor no reply was heard. Just as Setsuna was ready to tear apart the Arms in search of the missing mechanic a familiar voice came over the radio.
"There you are Gundam, I've come to enfold you in death" the fanatical voice of Graham Aker announced. Reluctantly Setsuna turned Exia around to meet the GN flag head on.

5 hours into the battle (on board the ptolemaios, After Chris and Lichty's last final transmission)
Sumeragi sat beside Ian as they helplessly watched the battlefield from the half wrecked Ptolemy. Tieria was engaged by multiple GN units and had no choice but to draw them away from the ship, Allelujah was having a similar experience but his attackers were down to 2 HRL mobile units. Knowing this Sumeragi still asked Feldt to confirm everyone's status.
"Right now Exia is engaged with a flag. Nadleeh has defeated all enemies but took serious damage and released its GN drive; Tieria is coming back via jet pack. Kyrios has also suffered critical damage and is currently engaging 2 Tieren mobile units."
"What's the ship's status?"
"All weaponry is offline, bridge is completely destroyed and the med bay was hit. But don't worry…"she added seeing Sumeragi's horrified expression "Lockon is in the holding cell with "
"I'll go prep the escape pod" Ian announced as he ran out of the firing station
Setsuna, Allelujah, Tieria please be okay she thought to herself before turning to go help Ian. As a tactical forecaster she failed them miserably today, because of that she knew that she was not meant for Celestial Being
"SUMERAGI-SAN! We've just lost Exia's signal and Kyrios has been defeated."
"Can you contact either of them?"
"No response from Setsuna or Allelujah!" Feldt replied quietly as tears began to well up for her fallen comrades.
"Send Fershette a message for multiple GN drive pick-ups…" was the last thing Sumeragi said before leaving to go help the mechanic, eyes brimming with tears. Damn it, damn it all to hell. What a price to pay for a naïve ideal, I'm so sorry… Allelujah… Setsuna.

6 hours into battle (On board the Ptolemaios)
Tieria jet packed his way into the open hanger; he was relieved when he finally met up with Ian. But was more than angered when he learned of what happened to his comrades.
"Damn it! This is all your fault Sumeragi Lee Noriega. You're unfit to be a tactical forecaster, without you they'd still be alive."
Sumeragi just looked down as the Meister continued to voice his anger.
"Hey quiet down; if it wasn't for her none of you would be flying Gundams. Never forget that she's the one who saved your sorry ass from Veda. Now pipe down and help me with this pod."
At that moment and Feldt entered carrying Lockon's medical equipment "Hey everybody we've gotta move fast because these med scanners are running on back up batteries"
"Lockon was the one who saved me that day, not her." Tieria retorted as he helped with the equipment
"Now hold on just a…"
"NO Ian, he's right" Sumeragi uttered, still not meeting Tieria's gaze "I'm not meant for Celestial Being"
Right after the word s left her mouth the docking bay was rocked by a violent blast and the room went pitch black. Realizing they're still in a warzone Ian started the pod as Feldt climbed in and started entering navigation coordinates.
"I'll go get Lockon" Yelled Dr. Moreno as he jumped out only to be blocked by Tieria
"NO, you get back inside. I owe him my life, I'll go" with that the Meister sprinted towards the holding med room.
Seeing his error Sumeragi started running towards the holding cells, yelling for to contact Tieria through his comm unit.
Author's note: So what do you think? Let me know by pressing the big green button in the middle.
On a side note I'd like to notify everyone that I'm writing this story on the assumption that everyone is on season 2 of the show. So I may skip long detailed scenes of events and will expect you to know what just happened because I'm sticking with the general plot of the show. I'm only going to switch around the timeline of events and of course incorporate LockonxSumeragi into the flow of things. Don't worry any changes I make will not leave you confused…I hope.
