Chapter 02: Beware of Thieves
One Month Ago September 3rd:
The Platinum haired Maiden, finished suiting up, as behind her, the blind Riika Sheder finished as well, and placed onher goggles, which suddenly just gave her vision. "Another test, another day." Riika told her, as she was a well known member of ZAFT, to test pilot various mobile suits.
Sagira smiled, as she finished zipping up her pilots uniform. "I know what you mean." she said, as she smoothed it out.
"Tell me again mam, why is a member of FAITH, just doing test work, shouldn't you be out commanding a ship or something?" Riika asked.
"I'm not into leading a ship. Not right now anyways." she told her.
"Why's that?" Riika asked.
Sagira just shrugged, as she tucked her hair into her suit, and place on her helmet. "Not actually in my future plans of my life." she answered, as she began to head out.
A half an hour later, Courtney Heironimous flew the ZGMF-X24S Chaos, through a small debris field, just as a pair of targets appeared, with that, he fired both of his gun pods at the targets destroying them. Not far from him, Riika, had the ZGMF-X88S Gaia running from Debris, to Debris, as the two shoulder fins, went to the machine side, and activated a beam, cutting two targets in half.
With that, the Impulse, flew by, with its force Silhouette pack, and fired two shots with its beam rifle through a pair of targets. "Show off." Mare snorted, as he had the Abyss' two shoulder shields open fire with six beams destroying six targets. "There that will show that lucky one." he added a bit, as he returned the shield.
Just then, the Zephyr ZAKU and Sagira appeared, as the Zephyr ZAKU with its Blossom pack loadout, disconnected the eight remote weapons, which encircled around her machine, and fired, along with her beam rifle at targets, destroying seventeen targets. Her face, seemed without emotion as she flew around an asteroid.
"I hate to admit this, but she is good." Courtney admitted, as Riika nodded, while the Chaos, and Gaia floated close to each other.
"You can say that again." Came Jess Rabbles voice, by authorization of Gilbert Durandal, Jess is allowed to use the Out Frame, and video tape, the mock battles of these Gundams. All the while, the reporter, watched the ZAKU look alike fly in impressive maneuvers.
"You like what you see?" Sagira asked him, as her image came up for him.
Jess just nodded, "You are very good, I never seen someone do something like that." he explained to her.
"You'll get a lot more." she told him, just as at the same time, Mare rolled his eyes. Mare, was once a Earth Forces Underwater branch soldier. However, within there, he had grown to extremely hate all Natural's, even Jess, however he was unlike many, and will only use lethal force, if his life is threatened. And in this mock battle it was not.
Shinn Asuka was just silent, he had forgotten Jess was there, as an observer, but was intrigued with the fact that the mobile suit looked like the X12A that he researched back at the Academy. Just then, the red light alarm went off over his right shoulder. He turned and spotted something in the distance. "Commander." he called.
"What is it Shinn?" Sagira asked.
"Unknown ship detected, shuttle, classification and affiliation unknown." he informed her, as Sagira nodded.
"Then we destroy it." Mare said, as he within the Abyss took off after the shuttle.
The Shuttle itself, took notice, and took off away from the Abyss. "Argh, get back here!" Mare shouted, however the Shuttle's engines was better then what one would of thought.
"Mare!" Courtney called, just with that the other machines flew towards it.
Sagira, did as well, racing towards it. However, as the Shuttle made it far away enough, it stopped, just then, not far from it, a mobile suit appeared from under Mirage colloid. It looked exactly like the GAT-X207 Blitz, however a more sleeker design, and equipped with a saber on its left hip, and clawed left hand, and a version of the Trikero's. It fired a cable onto the shuttle, but as it could detect the incoming machines. It did not download all of the shuttles data, it took aim and fired, destroying the space shuttle.
Just as the five machines came closer to it, the Mirage Colloid activated, having the machine disappear from them. "Hey what happened?" Mare asked, as he got to the wreckage.
"It must of crashed." Riika commented.
Shinn shrugged in his machine, "Its gone now, besides that we should head back, our machines are likley running low on power." he admitted, with that, the machines returned to the mother base.
One Month Later:
The Zephyr ZAKU, and the Sword Impulse stood in between Gaia, and Chaos, along with the damaged ZAKU that Athrun Zala was in. With that, the Sword Impulse, with a combined double bladed anti ship sword, began to charge right for the Gaia Gundam. "Arghhhhhhh!" Shinn called, as he charged right into battle.
"What the?" Stellar called in shock, as the mobile suit was coming right after her. Shinn came in with a solid horizontal strike, as the tip of the blade, began to shred the pavement below, sending debris into the air, as he missed the Gaia. He then came back with another strike, striking the Gaia, having the machine fly away.
"Is that the Strike?" Cagalli asked.
Athrun shook his head, "No, its different, with a different weapon layout." Athrun told her as they watched the Gaia fire its CIWs at the Impulse, however the slugs bounced off the Impulse, do to its variable phase shift armor, and with that, the, Strike like machine drew its beam rifle. With it aiming right for the Gaia, and fired off a single beam at the Gaia.
The Mobile suit dodged, the attack, as Stellar was not just someone to just let herself be shot. He continued, to fire, three more shots, two dissiptated into the air, while the third struck the ground, only moments before the Gaia was afoot on. Just as this happened, the Zephyr ZAKU fired off a pair of beams from its beam rifles at the Chaos Gundam. "Argh, where did these two come from?" Sting wondered, as he returned fire, only to watch the machine dodge.
Sagira, fired off nine beams, as four of the Dragoons over the ZAKU's head, and shoulders fired, all missing however, as the Chao's used its shield to protect himself, as a pair of beams struck his cover. "Your not getting away today." Sagira told him, in a calm voice.
Sting was still surprised of the appearance. "Are they more new models?" he questioned. He then checked Chao's library. The two machine's came on screen, with the words, 'Tactical Status, Object Unknown' on the screen. "What no information on them?" he asked. "What is the meaning of this?" he asked himself. "No matches on these machines with this unit." he stated. "Auel!" he called out, as another explosion, as his cover was hit, by a constant barrage of repeated beam attacks from the Zephyr ZAKU, and its Blossom pack.
With this, the Gaia came chargeing right at Shinn, as the Gaia transformed into its BuCUE like mobile armor, and went right for the Sword wielding Gundam. Shinn quickly disconnected his two swords, and used them, as in that form, a pair of deadly anti ship weapons. "What!?" Stellar called, as she continued to charge. Shinn came right in, with a cross slash of his Anti Ship Swords, however Stellar dodged the attack, and turned firing off a pair of her MA-81R beam assault cannon. Shinn quickly moved, as his arm mounted anti beam shield, took the hit. He then took his machines right handed sword, and threw it at the Gaia, as a beam boomerang, however much larger then the actual said weapon. Gaia went to block the attack, with both of its arms, thanks to the anti beam coating of its mobile shield, the weapon did no damage, however the shockwave from the hit, shook the mobile suit, and sent it flying backwards. "This guy." Stellar said with shock, as she landed on her machine's feet. With her beam saber drawn, while his Anti Ship Sword, landed blade first onto the ground.
"Shinn!" came Sagira's voice. "Our orders are to capture these machines." Sagira commanded him.
"Yes I know." Shinn told her, as he stared down the Gaia.
"She's right Shinn!" Arthur Trine's voice came over the radio. "Those Machines are of our military. . ."
He did not get to finish, "I understand sir, but I don't know, if I'll be able to do this, I'm not as good as commander Marusu." Shinn told them, as he dodged another attack. "Besides, how on the earth sphere did this happen?!" he questioned.
With that, he dodged a horizontal slash from the Gaia, as he spoke to them. "Shinn, focus on the task at hand." Sagira commanded, as she jumped into the air, and fired off sixteen beams from her mobile turrets, however each missed, crashing into the ground itself. "However, Captain, it is intrigueing they could get in, and capture these, right in the middle of our base." she pointed out. Just as Shinn brought shield up to block an attack from the Gaia's blade of frozen fire.
"Yeah, also, how could they of gotten these machine's so easily?" Shinn questioned.
On the Minerva, Captain, Talia Glady's, stood up. "Now is not the time to dicuss that in your current situation." she ordered, as the two pilots nodded at the same time. "I know Shinn, this is your first battle, so remember, this is no training." she reminded him.
"I know captain." Shinn told her, as he continued his fight.
"Remember, this is going to be harder then those tests, so stay alert." she commanded. She then picked up her communicaton phone. "Sagira is right! If they are a team of Hijackers, there has to be a mother ship outside." she noted. "Space Port personel, what is the situation?" she questioned.
Armory One near Space:
Two cloaked ships, floated through space, however, there was also a mobile suit, that closely resembled that of the Out Frame, and a blood red color.
Girty Lue Class: Asgard
A woman, wearing black robe like clothing with various metal's all on it. Her looks closely resembled that of Rondo Mina Sahaku, however, she was nothing like the Orb Noble. Instead, she stood on the bridge, arms crossed. The Machine she had already out is the RGX-00, Testament. "Have 0984 follow with Neo's orders." the woman told her men.
"Yes mam." the called out.
Girty Lue:
Neo sat there, as he then looked at his watch, known to him, and the Asgard, Testement, and a pair of Dagger L's Rocket Launchers, gently pushed themselves towards the open hangar's, of the station. While at the same time, Shaai, was in her machine's cockpit, watching over the operation as her machine was under Mirage Colloid. Shaai smiled, as her lover on the ship nodded. "Alright, lets get this show on the road." Neo Roanoke called out. "Lets see just how discreet we can be with this." he added.
"Of course honey." Shaai radioed, as her smiled a bit.
"Activate, Gottfried's one and two, Load Corintoss into missile firing tubes one through eight." Ian Lee, Neo's second in command, when Shaai was already on the field.
"Izawa unit, and Harada unit, are launching now." his soldier called.
Asgard:
"Dill Unit, and Hilbert unit heading out."
With that, two Dagger L's, with Dopplehorn units, just then from Asgard, a pair of N Dagger N's launched, going under Mirage Colloid.
Girty Lue:
Neo was in true command here, "Shaai, take the Nazca behind us, when it gets ready to fire." Neo ordered her, as Shaai nodded. "Aim the Gottfrieds at the portside Nazca, Disarm the Mirage Colloid, just before we open fire." he added.
"Engines at full power." Ian ordered the crew.
"Well fella's, its time, to make the impossible possible. Stealing top secret ZAFT weapons right from underneath them." Neo gloated in a care free attitude.
Ian nodded, and leaned forward, "Gottfrieds Fire!" he ordered. With that, four beams erupted from nothing, hitting a direct hit on an unexpecting Nazca.
Nazca:
The crew of a nearby Nazca just watched their allies were destroyed. Just then the Girty lue decloaked. "Commander!" a soldier called.
"Target Beam Cannons, and fire on my mark!" he ordered.
Just then, a huge vibration could be felt, as something large and hard, landed on the ship. "What was that?" someone asked, just then, whatever it was, dropped its Mirage Colloid, it was the blitz, however with two offensive and defensive shields, with two large turbine engines, two beam cannons and missile launchers on his shoulders. While at the same time, two large weapons were on its arms, while one was pointing right at the bridge. It was the METEO pack, used from the stolen METEOR from a year ago. "Buh Bye." Shaai told the ship, as then fired a beam cannon blast, right on through the bridge. The Bridge now was completely gone, then she jumped away, and fired, several missiles, and six beams at the ship, and completely destroyed the entire ship.
While at the same time, the Girty Lue, fired beams, and its Corinto's missiles.
Armory One HQ:
ZAFT soldiers, mostly all in black, were moving as they began to hear what was exactly happening to their forces at this time. "The Herschel is hit!" one soldier called out.
"Missiles are approaching the Fourier. . . eighteen missiles detected!" he called out.
At a computer terminal, they detected the ship, and then another. "Unidentified ships detected. Number of them: two!" a ZAFT green informed the commanders. "Orange fifteen, and thirty-four, Mark Eight Bravo." he informed them, "Distance: twenty three hundred, and four thousand!" he called out.
"In a place like that?" one asked.
"Are they using Mirage Colloid?!" another asked.
"Is it the EAF?" one commander asked, as the attack was greater then they first thought of people just trying to get the new G-Weapons.
The person beside him nodded, "Searthing thermal pattern's in the library, No matching ship found!" he radioed.
With that, Mobile Suits began to activate, GuAIZ's, GINNs, and CGUE's, were being activated. While outside, Corintos missiles, began to hit their mark on the Fourier. Not far from that hit, eight beam cannons fired through the rubble, and hit a Nazca right behind the destroyed one. Asgard, and Girty Lue, were showing their prowess, being the newly designed ship, that could take on more then any average ZAFT military Vessel.
Asgard:
"Lady Aducarf, Nazca closing, Distance four thousand." a soldier called out.
She nodded, "Have the N Dagger N's take care of it." she ordered, as outside, the two green mobile suits came in, and dodged the CIWs, and fired their seventy milimeter beam rifles through the ships hull. "What of Testament?" she questioned.
"He has rendezvoused, with commander Roanokes Dagger L's." her soldiers told her.
Girty Lue:
"After our Mobile Suits launch." Neo began, after he heard a Nazca was approaching from Indigo, at distance nineteen hundred. "Have the gottfried's target the Nazca at Indigo, also, don't let us get hit by their cannons you hear." he said in a cocky way.
With that, the two Dagger L's, and ones first action with its high powered beam carbine, destroying its targets launching equipment, however was not intime, as one GuAIZ R, launched in time. That machine was soon joined by another, and a CGUE, as the two GuAIZ's fired beam rifles, while the CGUE fired with an old anti armor machine gun. Since the Strike Dagger, the Earth Forces machines had come a long way, as the Dagger L dodge an attack, and fired its own beam rifle, pierceing that of a GuAIZ R.
Armory One: Ship Hangar:
Laurasia class ships, were getting ready to launch, to defend the newest PLANT built by ZAFT. However, they did not expect the next, two Dagger L's, along with the Testament came in, one Dagger L, got right infront of a launching Laurasia and fired its hand held anti armor cannon, right on through the bridge of the oncoming Ship.
Testament, however had a different target, as with its new Striker Pack, it flipped over, to forming a giant claw over its left hand, as it crashed the claw into the Mobile suit Deck, and plowed right on in. "I'm here!" he called out, as he began to fire the CIWs, throughout the ships interior, killing the pilots and other people inside, before they could get in their machines. Outside the ship, the Dagger L's, continued to fire, on one Laurasia blasting its engines, and sending it into a spiral. The control room, of the hangar however, was not spared in this, as a engine that was going at full power came right to the window, and fried the control rooms inhabitants. Soon the whole hangar became chaos, as the Laurasia ships crashed into each other, and then Testament rammed right on through the bridge of a docked Nazca. Soon all three ships exploded, shaking the entire colony.
Minerva:
Arthur was just about to show Talia the information, but stopped as they both felt the tremors. "What's that?" Talia asked.
Armory One battle ground:
Shinn could feel the tremors as well did Sagira, along with the lone ZAKU. "Athrun!" Cagalli said, as they felt the attack.
"An attack from outside." he stated, as he cringed. "Is it an attack from the outside?" he asked, as he remembered one other colony's collapse. As he then saw that the Impulse just blocked a Griffon 2 blade from Gaia's quadrouped form's 'wings'.
"Damn this!" he yelled out. "This was not in the training!" he called out.
Sagira nodded, "Remember Shinn the battlefield is never what training is." she told him, as she dodged missiles from Chao's gunpods. She fired on the Gaia, which just jumped off a building, in which was all that she hit. A pair of DINN's came in to back the two G-Weapons up, however were soon blown out of the sky.
The reason was the underwater model of a Gundam, the Abyss, and its Balena Kai duel beam cannons. Auel was flying over to help his comrades against their two coordinator opponents. "Sting those explosions!" Auel called out, as he came over.
"I know, but I am a bit pinned." he admitted, as he worked on his machines information. "Its time for us to be picked up." he stated.
Auel's Abyss landed beside him, as fired its beam cannons at the persistant ZAKU. "Hurry Up, if we're late, the bus will leave without us!" Auel told him, as it blocked a return beam from the Zephyr ZAKU.
"Auel, I already told you, I KNOW!" Sting yelled at him. "Damn." was all he said after that.
"By the way." Auel began, as he dodged a beam. "What are these?" he asked him. As over aside, Stellar was trying her best, to cut the Impulse in half, however failed each time as it blocked her with its anti beam shield. "Wasn't there suppose to be only three new models?" he asked.
Sting was annoyed at the Zephyr ZAKU as he sent out his two gunpods. "How should I know?" he asked, as he fired.
Sagira smiled, as she dodged the attack, and sent out her eight remote weapons, DRAGOON pods, which each fired a pair of beams, four of which struck that of a single gunpod, destroying the part into scrap metal. "Sorry but you'll have to do better then that." she told him.
The Abyss came in with a slash at the mobile suit, only to be blocked by the Zephyr ZAKU's golden aerodynamic shield. "What should we do?" Auel shouted, as he tried to force the ZAKU down. "These damn things were not in our briefing or the plan!" he shouted. He then looked infront of him with anger, "Damn that Neo." he grunted, as he just connected his lance to the beam tomahawk the ZAKU held.
With that, the Impulse, was having trouble with Gaia, and Shinn knew Sagira was good, so he knew she be fine against the two others, as he then fired a beam at Gaia only to have it blocked. "But we can't just ignore them." Sting admitted, as he came at Sagira with his Vajra beam saber, have the blade connect to her machine's shield. "These two can be a problem in the future if we let them live." he added. Just then an alarm began for him, as he dodged Sagira's tomahawk, and fired at the incoming opponent, a lone CGUE, as it was blown out of the sky.
Auel laughed a bit, as the Chao's flew by on another attack on Sagira's machine. "Ha! So you want to take their heads as a souvenir?" he asked. "Because I'll gladly do so!" he called, racing right for the Impulse instead of the Zephyr. Just with this, Gaia blocked the anti ship blade, of the Impulse. "Stellar!" he yelled out.
Shinn got the alert from his machine as the mobile suit Abyss came at him. Just with that Gaia flew away, and the Abyss's chest mounted Callidus Multiphase energy cannon fired at him. He then dodged the attack, nearly avoiding the beam. "Shinn!" Sagira called out, as the beam struck a nearby building. However, her voice was not worry, it was a warning, as Shinn looked up, to see the Chaos coming down, with the beam claws within the machines feat came down. The impulse dodged it, and was fired upon by the beam rifle. Shinn quickly blocked with his shield, as Gaia came in.
"I don't think so." Sagira called, as she through another Chao's grenade, which activated as a turret to protect Shinn from the incoming machine. "Your next!" she called at Chao's and Abyss, as her turrets aimed at them, and fired several beams at her targets.
"Argh!" Stellar yelled, as she came in at Shinn struck onces with an indirect hit to Shinn's shield, and then a direct hit, with a return slash.
This, knocked Shinn back, as Sagira turned a bit of worry. "Shinn." she said, just then, the as the beams stopped, the Abyss unconnected both of his shields, that protected him moments ago. "Cagalli hold on." Athrun told her, as he picked up the beam tomahawk in the ZAKU's one good arm.
The Abyss came flying over to the Impulse, however Athrun, doing a bold move, came in, and delivered a shoulder tackle with his machine's shoulder shield, "What the?" Auel called out, as then the ZAKU moved around, and threw his beam tomahawk at the Gaia, which was evidently blocked but was stuck in the Gaia's shield. "Damn you!" Auel called out, as he fired his Callidus cannon.
Athrun turned, as he saw the beam that was based off of his old Aegis' Scylla came right at him. Just then from behind them, a beam of a darker color came from behind the ZAKU, and connected to the Multiphase Energy Cannon, and stopped it. "Hey am I late?" came Ahmed's voice.
"Ahmed!" Cagalli called relieved the African was still alive.
Ahmed smiled hearing Cagalli, "Glad to hear you two are safe." Ahmed admitted, as his ZAKU targeted again.
"What, another one?" Sting asked, as on a roof top, a ZAKU with other equipment could be seen. In its right arm, with its left hand holding it steady, was a beam cannon, with an external battery on the machine's back. It was the ZAKU Warrior, Gunner Wizard pack. The ZAKU fired his beam cannon, which was at the Abyss who dodged in time. Only to have the ground where it once was, ripped away by the beam.
"Buzz off!" Stellar called out, as the Gaia came in and rammed the Gaia into Athrun's ZAKU.
"Argh!" he called, as the ZAKU crashed into a nearby building. Athrun then had Cagalli fall onto him, unconcious, "Cagalli!" he called, as he then looked at his hand, she was bleeding, from a wound on her head.
"Alex!" Ahmed called as his beam cannon went onto his machine's back and he drew a beam rifle. "Get away from them!" he called as he fired at the Gaia.
"My turn for s hot." Auel said, as he fired his Callidus at the ZAKU. Athrun despite Cagalli being injured, activated his machines thrusters, and took off, as the beam hit. And explosion happened, and the ZAKU was seen coming from outside the flames. "Damn." was all Auel said, as he then came under fire, by two DINN's and a CGUE, along with Ahmed and the ZAKU he was in.
Ahmed despite being a Natural, he kept a device made by Samorei Joule, that would automaticly download a OS for a Natural into any machine it connected to. With Kira Yamato's own personal touch into the system, of a OS for Ahmed personal use. One of the machines Ahmed was with blew out of the sky, while a DINN came in and fired Missiles at the stolen units.
Shinn was fed up, as he went chargeing in, Excalibur in hand, "I'm not going to let you do whatever you like!" he called out. With that he did a horizontal swing, only to miss as the Abyss jumped out of the way. But Shinn has to block the next thing, as Stellar came in, with her beam saber connecting to his shield.
"Argh!' she called.
"You are not getting away with this!" Shinn called out.
In the Zephyr ZAKU Sagira watched over Shinn, "Amazing." she said. "He is getting better as this battle continues." she concurred. "Perhaps he is the second coming." she finished.
"Commander, are you alright?" a DINN pilot asked.
"Yes I'm fine." Sagira told him, as she then took off. "Help the Impulse at all costs." she ordered.
"Right" The DINN's pilots called out.
On the ground at a destroyed hangar, a red ZAKU warrior, and a white ZAKU Phantom layed on the ground. On the red machine, a ZAFT red was helping two ZAFT greens remove debris, while on the white one were three greens. "Hurry up!" Lunamaria hawke, the ZAFT red on the red machine ordered. "We just need to open one of them up enough for one of us to get in!" she called.
"Rey!" a soldier called, as his ZAKU Phantom's cockpit was now able to let him in. With that, the blonde soldier got on, and began to go in. "We don't know if there is any internal damage." one began. "Be aware that it may not work the way you want it." the guy warned the red. "If you think its to bad, withdraw ASAP." he called.
Rey noddded as the cockpit closed, soon the mono eye of the machine glowed, with that the greens that were on it, moved off of it, and out of the way. It sat up, as it looked at the red machine, "Lunamaria, move out of the way." he called out. With that, she did as did four others, while the phantom moved a steal beam off along with the rocks. "Alright." she said heading out.
Meanwhile, at a small Medic area, soldiers were going about in a small panic. With that, Athrun, Cagalli, and Ahmed were soon coming to, in their borrowed ZAKU warriors. "What do you mean we can't use the docks?" one person asked.
"Medic, Medic!" a soldier called out.
"This is chaotic." the Mercenary Kaite Madigan pointed out, as he walked through. He and Jess Rabble, landed not long ago, to see what is truly going on.
"Tell me about it." Jess concluded.
"NO! I told you to lead the units of the Obujichi Squadron here!"
Just then, Durandal, and his body guards came walking through. "Who is in control here?" he questioned. "What happened, what happened to Gaia, Chaos, and Abyss?" he asked again. "Explain the situation." he told someone. Just then an explosion happened, the battle was doing more damage then one would think.
"Chairman." one of his body guards called, covering the man.
"Chairman." a soldier in black called as he came over. "It is still dangerous here, there are outbreaks of poisonous gas." he told the man. "Please sir, head for a shelter." the soldier pleaded.
The chairman looked a bit angered, "No I can't go, not with the current situation we are in, unresolved." he bellowed.
The soldier had the look of shock. "Then please sir, at least go to the Minerva." he said looking into the distance, at the docked ship.
The chairman looked over, and grimaced, "Damn." was all he said.
Outside, the Aneritto Blitz, along with its newly equipped METEO pack, cut a Nazca in half with one of its beam swords. "This is easy." Shaai said, turning around and firing two off the two 80 mm beam cannons, through the cockpits of a pair of GuAIZ R's. While not far, a pair of Nazca's were destroyed by the combined fire of both the Girty Lue, and the Asgard.
Neo Roanoke, was calmly quiet as he just looked at his watch. 'Hmm, what is taking those three so long?' he thought to himself.
Inside the colony, Sting was exchangeing fire with the Zephyr ZAKU with beam rifle fire. "Damn, these two." he cursed, as he narrowly dodged the beam. "This pilot is too good." he admitted.
Sagira, nimbly dodged that of the Chao's beam, and pulled a barrel role within the mobile suit, and to Stings surprise, after the mobile suit dropped, two DRAGOON pods fired at him with four beams. He managed to dodge them, but his hip armor was grazed by one of the beams.
Shinn on the other hand, dodged an attack from Gaia. "Chaos, Gaia, and even Abyss are . . ." he began, as he dodged an incoming beam saber courtesy of Gaia again.
"Why wont these two just go down?!" she asked.
Shinn's impulse then grabbed one of the beam boomerangs. "How could this happen?" he asked. He then through it, at the Gaia, in which it bounced off of the anti beam shield.
"Why you!" Auel growled, as he showed up in the Abyss again. He then fired six beams at the Impulse. Shinn got up his shield to block one beam, but the five others continued, one of each pierceing a mobile suit below. A GuAIZ R, CGUE, GINN, GAZuOOT, and the ground, as the four machines exploded. "AGAIN!" Auel yelled, just then his machine was hit on the shield twice.
"Auel!" Sting called as he dodged a group of beams from the Zephyr.
"Its about time you two." Sagira said, as she saw the Red ZAKU, and White ZAKU Phantom heading their way.
"Sorry commander." Rey said in a monotone voice.
"You. . . How dare you attack this place!" Lunamaria called out, as she fired beam after beam from her machine's beam rifle.
The Abyss blocked the beams with his giant shields. "Sting, there are just no end to these things!" Auel called to him. "I'm also worried about how much energy these machines have left." he added.
Sting was fed up, as now he was being double teamed by both Sagira and Rey, as he just lost his machines right leg from Sagira. "We're retreating." Sting ordered. "Stellar, can you shake that one off?" he asked.
She just gave more power to her thrusters, "As soon as I take this one down!" she told them. Her machine firing four beams at the Impulse. "You. . . I am. . . I am. . .!" she repeated. With that, her machine and Shinn's blades clashed as she continued to fly by.
"Shinn." Rey said, worried about his best friend.
Sting saw Stellar betraying his orders. "We're retreating! Stop it Stellar!" he ordered.
She continued anyways. "I'm going to kill you!" she called going after Impulse again.
Auel got a cocky smile, "Okay then, you can die here!" he radioed to her. This instantly stopped Stellars attack, as her look of hatred turned into a look of pure fear.
"Auel!" Sting called, knowing Auel's move was a bad one, and could prove lethal, to the degree of opponents they were fighting.
Auel just continued, "I'll tell Neo, 'Good-Bye' for you!" he added. As an result, the Gaia, was motionless, almost staring at the sky.
"What is this?" Sagira wondered, as she saw the Gaia motionless. "This person is either a complete idiot, or a genius." she commented, thinking, if this was just a ploy or not.
Shinn on the otherhand, grabbed his beam boomerang, and through it at the Gaia, only to have it block, as the Chaos came in, smashing the weapon away from its intended Target. He then returned fire, as Shinn got his weapon back and flew out of the path. "Die?" Stellar asked, as she held herself.
"Auel you!" Sting called out.
"I. . ." Stellar said still afraid.
Auel began to sound cocky, "There was nothing else we could do; she wouldn't stop." he told Sting.
"Good bye?" Stellar questioned.
"Shut up you idiot! Saying this just put this entire mission into jeopardy!" Sting told him.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Stellar screamed, as then the Gaia turned tail and ran.
"Damn." Sting said, and soon he went as well, while Auel fired his machines dual cannons to cover them.
"Well then, alls well that ends well." he said with a smile on his face.
"Their retreating?" Sagira questioned. With that, Rey and Luna noticed that as well.
Shinn however got an angry look, "I'm not going to let you get away!" he called out. With that, the four machines began to go after it. However soon, a small detonation happened to Luna's machine, as smoke came out of her thrusters. Damage from the earlier Debris shower.
Sagira turned a second, "Luna head to the Minerva, you wont be able to fight as effectivly now." she ordered, as Luna nodded.
Medical area:
"Medical team D, to Hangar Seven!" the supervisor called out. In the background, Athrun and Ahmed's ZAKU's landed.
"Athrun, is Cagalli alright?" Ahmed questioned.
As down on the ground, someone shouted orders, "E Block is no good either. All available Mobile suits, proceed to the Minerva's dock. "The injured as well!" he ordered.
With Athrun, Cagalli began to come to, "Ath. . . thrun." she said a bit drowzy.
"Cagalli, thank goodness." Ahmed called from his machine, as she could see him on the screen. "Are you alright?" he asked worried.
She cringed a bit, "Yeah, but I do have a small headache." she said, putting her hand on her head.
Athrun looked at her, "I'm sorry, I was careless. . ." he told her, then looked around. "Ahmed, do you know of anywhere that is safe for us to land?" he asked.
"Sorry no." Ahmed told him.
"Fine, I'll see if I can find us a place." Athrun told the both of them, "Cagalli's wound maybe more then we think." Athrun began, as he moved the ZAKU, with Ahmed not far behind him.
She shook her sore head, "I said I'm alright." she told them. "But. . ." she began, looking through the monitors, to seeing destroyed buildings and mobile suits.
Armory One, near space:
The Testament came in, and crushed the bridge of a Nazca. "One more down." the pilot mused.
With that, the Aneritto Blitz came in, and cut a Nazca right in half. She then turned around, and fired one of the 9 tube missile launcher at a group of GuAIZ R's which were blown out of existance.
"Another Nazca down." one of the Girty Lue's crew called out.
"We got three GuAIZ R's, on our port side." another called.
"On my mark," Ian Lee began. "Fire the Anti-beam deph charges!" he ordered. "At the same time, accelerate by twenty percent, for ten seconds!" he commanded. Being Neo Roanokes, and Shaai Mornstrun's XO. "Load Sledgehammers, one through four, call back the mobile suits, to protect the ship!" he called out.
While beside him, Neo just looked foreward. "What are the tree's status?" he asked.
"They have yet to reach the exterior of the colony." a soldier informed his commander, who wore black, rather then the normal Earth Forces white.
Neo looked disappointed as he sat up straight again. "They may have failed sir." Ian told him. Just as they lost one of their Dagger L's. "Though we destroyed the docking ports, our targets were stored in a military armory area." he concluded. "Even with you and Shaai, along with Asgard, we will soon enough be defeated." he finished.
"I understand, however. . ." Neo said standing up. "If I thought those three were not able to do this mission, I would never of allowed them, onto this field of battle." he told each of them. He then turned to Ian a bit more, "I'm going to head out in my Exus." he told him, as he then began to float towards the hatch. "I'll leave this ship in your capable hands."
"Sir." Ian called, as he went back to orders. "Launching Deck, prepare the commander's Exus, he is heading out to buy us more time." he told them.
Armory One Interior:
Rey, Sagira, and Shinn each chase that of the stolen Gundams. Sting sent out his remaining Gunpod, and Auel fired his seven weapons, at the three machines. Sagira dodged the attack of the Abyss' group attack, while Rey dodged the gunpod. Shinn came racing in, as he took the Abyss Balena Kai beam cannons, to his shield. "What is with these guys?" Shinn asked. "Being this good in Stolen units!" he shouted.
The Gaia was not into fighting right now, as it continued to head to escape. "If we let them escape, it'll be all over!" Rey called out. "We have to catch them, before that, no matter what!" he called out.
"I know that!" Shinn told him.
"Will you two just focus, you talk to much and you will be shot down!" Sagira told the both of them.
Minerva:
"We still have no word from HQ." Bart Helms informed them.
Meyrin turned to Talia, as she got word from the Armory One, "There are gas leaks inside the colony." she informed the crew. "Area's Esvas, through Ronarl, have been issued Level 4 Evacuation orders." she told them.
Talia, seemed almost, as though it was a bad time. "Captain, this is a really bad thing isn't it?" Arthur Trine questioned his captain. "If they actually manage to get away. . ." he began.
Talia just had the look of sheer determination, "There's no way I will allow that to happen." she stated to everyone else. With that, the port side catapult opened, as Lunamaria's red ZAKU Warrior, came in for a landing within the ship. While at the same time, Durandal, and his envoy were heading for the ships hatch. "But even so. . . I do wonder, where are these attackers from?" she questioned. "This kind of strategy, seems almost a lot better then when the Creuset team stole the original Gundams, of the first BV war." she admitted.
Out in space:
Shaai smiled, as the two beam cannons went onto her machines back, as she deflected some enemy beam fire, and came in and slashed a mobile suit in half. "This, is the most fun I have had, since I face those two, with the original thing that my new pack was reverse engineered for." she mused, as she fired both of her beam rifles at the enemy mobile suits. Before she knew it, three GuAIZ R's exploded behind her, the cause, was a pair of gunbarrels, coming from the Exus. "Well about time you decided to join the party honey." she radioed to him.
"Sorry Shaai for being late, its tough being the commander and mobile armor pilot." Neo told her, as he fired in two different directions, as he smirked.
Inside Rey, had a strange sensation, like he could feel someone, someone close. "What was that?" he wondered.
Minerva:
All of a sudden, the bridge's main hatch opened, as the Chairman walked in. "Chairman Durandal!" Talia said surprised, as the bridge crew turned to see him come in.
He nodded, "Captain, what is the current situation?" he asked, as out at the battle inside the colony, the Gaia fired her beam cannons and beam rifle into the air, straight for the colonies wall.
"DAMN!" Shinn called out, "We have to stop the Gaia!" he called out, dodging Stings last gunpod, and threw both of his beam boomerangs at the black Gundam. However, as the both of them got ever closer, Auel would not have that, as he fired his Callidus, and then his six beam cannons. The Callidus struck one, and the other beams destroyed the second one with ease, turning the weapon into scrap metal.
"These two, are far better then I thought they were." Sagira admitted.
"I need a different layout of equipment." Shinn admitted. "Minerva! Send me the Force Silhouette!" he called to the ship.
"Captain!" Trine informed her, as it was her decision to make.
"Permission granted, launch the Silhoutte Flyer with the Force!" Talia ordered, as the ship began. Arthur was about to object, but Talia turned to the chairman. "There's no use keeping it classified anymore is there?" she asked him.
He shrugged, "No I guess there is no reason." he told her.
"Force Silhouette, stand by for launch!" Meyrin called out.
Sagira flew infront of the Chaos, as she fired her DRAGOONs however missing the mobile suit, in which the machine fired firefly missiles from its remaining pod at the Impulse, who used its CIWs, to defend against the so called missiles.
Rey, targeted the Abyss with his beam rifle, firing at the machine, as the Abyss dodged the attacks. "Will you three just give up already?" Auel asked.
Sting was clearly angered, from Auel's earlier antics, "Persistent bastards!" he called out. With that call out, Rey drew one of his beam tomahawks, and tried to cleave the Abyss. Auel however kicked the Phantom twice, and went to fire its beam cannons. But the hit did not connect, as the Zephyr came in.
"Back at yeah!" she called, as her shield glistened, and then a few moments later, the beam was fired back at the Abyss.
"What the hell was that?" Auel questioned, as the Zephyr got ready to fight back.
"I'm getting out of here now!" Stellar called out, as the Gaia got closer and closer to the end of the sky of the PLANT, firing shot after shot after shot at the outer wall of the interior.
"Sagira! Gaia is trying to get through!" Shinn called out. He then had to dodge a pair of beams, as the Chaos came after him, the mobile suit had changed to its mobile armor form.
"Like I'd let you harm her!" Sting called out, as he fired his machines weapons at the Impulse. Shinn continued to block the beams with his shield, however when he tried to block the beam claw of Chaos, with his sword, the weapon was chopped in half.
Sagira smiled, as she saw something coming. "SHINN!" she called out, as her DRAGOON's all opened fire on the Chaos. Rey fired at the Abyss keeping it busy, as Shinn went and did something his laser designation weapons, and parts, eject the Sword pack, as the Force connected to the machine. The phase shift then activated, and what was all red, was now a mixture of blue and red, as its shield was held infront, and grew to double its original size.
"Ragh!!" Shinn called out his battle cry, as he went after the Chaos, drawing one of his machines' beam sabers, and dodgeing beam rifle attacks from the Chaos.
"What the?" Sting said as he backed away.
"What, it can change in mid battle?" Auel wondered, as he dodged a beam attack from Sagira's Zephyr ZAKU. "Argh, now you are ever persistent!" he yelled, however Shinn, came in, as the Abyss fired at the machine, only to have the beams blocked by the larger anti beam shield of the Impulse. The Shield crashed into the Abyss' chest, as Shinn forced the machine back, forcing it back by the shield. With both Chaos, and Abyss out of the way, Shinn made his way, right for the Gaia gundam.
Stellar looked at the machine in fear, as she backed away from the machine, just trying to stay away from the mobile suit. "Stop it leave me alone!" she called out, as the Abyss fired all its beams at a area of the colony.
"Your going down!" Shinn called heading for the Gaia, however behind him, Chaos in its mobile armor form again, fired its multiphase energy cannon, and its two other beams. However each beam missed without Shinn dodging them, as the beams struck the hull of the colony, which melted away finally after the attack.
"What, damn." Sagira cursed, as the air began to head out of the colony, into absolute zero of space. Shinn and the two ZAKU's began to fight it, from being sucked out, however Gaia, Abyss, and Chaos, went out of the hole willingly.
"Damn it." Shinn said, as he saw them leaving, and turned, and blasted out of the hole right behind them.
"Shinn!" Rey and Sagira called, as the two mobile suits, turned, and went out following him.
Minerva: "Captain!" Arthur Trine called. "What are they thinking blowing a hole into the colony?" he asked.
"Likley they are trying to escape, to one of the two ships outside." Talia admitted.
"The power of the Impulse, is reaching a dangerous level." Meyrin informed everyone. "It has under five minutes left of energy!" she warned her captain.
"What?" Arthur called out.
"Impulse and the Zephyr, they are the two machines we have left, we can't let them fall here." Talia stated, "The Minerva's maiden voyage, has just been moved to today!" she ordered.
Durandal nodded, "This is bound to get interesting." the Chairman whispered, while at this time, the still open hangar door, two ZAKU's came in for a landing, one damaged, and the other with the Gunner Wizard. Both machines landed, and the three occupants of the two, came on down from a zip line.
"What, who are those two?" Luna wondered, as she grabbed someones sub machine gun, and went over. "Give me that." she told him, heading over.
"Cagalli." Ahmed said coming over, as he hugged her, worried about her, in order for her to do so.
"Ahmed." she said, feeling almost sleepy, as she began to show signs of a concussion.
"You three hold it right there!" Luna's voice called as they saw that she was holding a gun at them. Instantly Ahmed put Cagalli behind him, as Athrun, known as Alex to everyone else, stood infront of the both of them.
On the bridge, Talia, and everyone else were in their positions. "Minerva, beginning launch sequence now." she relayed to everyone. "Once we launch, the ship will immediately go to condition red." she added.
Meyrin nodded, "Fire Control systems are operational, all weapons, load ammunition grade A." she reported, as she was doing what her talented hands could, at the use of her station.
Talia turned to the Chairman, "Please Chairman, leave the ship quickly." she pleaded to him, as he just shook his head no.
"Sorry Talia." he began to tell her. "This situation is not where I can just stay behind and wait for reports." he informed her, as he was having every intention to stay this time. 'Not with those assets out there, both of them' he thought to himself.
"But sir. . ." she began to plead for him. The Minerva was a warship, something that usual political leaders, should not be on, when a battle is going on.
He smirked, "Remember Talia, I have authority, and obligations as well." he told her. "I wish to accompany you, please Talia, allow it." he finished.
Talia sighed, and gave in, "Of course Chairman." she said, turning and getting ready, "Continue with the Launch Protocols!" she ordered.
"The Minerva will be launching, all personnel, please proceed to your assigned stations, I repeat, the ship will be launching." Meyrin's voice echoed throughout the ship.
In the hangar, the newcomers, were rather surprised about that the ship was launching, as the decompression chambers began to close, as they would be heading to the zero gravity of space. However the reddish haired woman raised her weapon again. "Don't move." she warned the three newcomers. "Just who are you?" she questioned. "I know from your clothes, you are not of the military." she informed the three. "Why were you three in those two units?" she questioned again. While at this time, the support structures, and connection cables were disconnecting, as the ship readied for launch.
Cagalli was about to say something, until Ahmed cut her off. "Please lower your guns." he pleaded.
Alex nodded, "This is the representative of the United Emirates of ORB, Cagalli Yula Athha," he informed her. "I'm her bodyguard Alex Dino. And this is her body guard as well, Ahmed El Fasi, her body guard, and a member of the ORB military." Athrun informed her.
Ahmed nodded, "We were in the middle of a meeting with the chairman when this all started up." Ahmed told them, arms crossed, and seemed a bit cocky.
Athrun nodded, "We got into a little bit of a jam, and we borrowed these units, in order to help with your remaining machines, and to get Cagalli to safety." he added.
"ORB? Athha?" Luna said a bit amazed at hearing that.
Ahmed nodded, as Cagalli held her head again. "Can we see the medic? Cagalli is injured." Ahmed asked her.
Athrun then stared at Lunamaria, "The Chairman is here, is he not?" he asked her. "After Cagalli see's the medic, we would like to meet with him." Luna just stared blankly at them, knowing Cagalli was one of the pilots, in the second battle of Jachin Due.
Armory One Space:
"Damn, where are they?" he questioned, as the Impulse looked around, unbeknowist to him, the Testament, flew not far from him, in plain view.
Inside the machine, its masked pilot smirked, "So this is what is replacing my machines?" the person smiled, and laughed, "This is absolutely pathetic!" he called out. "Your mine now to add to my collection!" he yelled out, just then Shinn felt something hit him. In reality, the Impulse's upper body was grabbed by the Testament's Divine Striker'packs giant claw.
"What the!?" Shinn called out, as his Machine was hit, as sensors were going heywire. Damage was spreading throughout the chest flyer. "Sagira!" Shinn called out.
Sagira saw that the Impulse looked like it was grabbed from the front. "What the hell?" she questioned, as she went to investigate. "Hold on Shinn!" she called out.
"Your not going anywhere." came a woman's voice, as the Aneritto blitz appeared infront of the Zephyr ZAKU.
"What!" Sagira called out, seeing the large weapon equipment on the machine's back, and fired each of her Dragoons and beam rifle, resulting in a seventeen beam attack.
Shaai however smirked, as she brought up her shields, bending the beams away from her unit, and the Testament. "0984 now is your chance, we can have the final of the five new G-weapons. Return to the Asgard or Girty Lue!" she ordered.
"Oh shut up, your not the boss of me!" the pilot yelled at her. "This one is mine, I am going to kill him right now!" the person yelled, out, as the Chest flyer began to be crushed under the pressure of the Divine Testament's claw. "Hahahaha, Die Die Die!" he yelled out.
"Shinn!" Rey called, as he fired around where he thought that the machine was being held at.
0984 backed away, as the beams flew pass him. "Argh, you are going to pay for that, and the Divine Testament will make sure of that!" he yelled out, going after the ZAKU phantom.
Rey was at a huge disadvantage. The Divine Testament, was the number twelve, of the same line as Freedom, and Justice. And a ZAKU, maybe the strongest mass produced unit yet, was nothing compared to the G-Weapons, and was barely a match for the early attempts on the basic Astray Frames, and G-Weapons. Maybe only outclassing them, in some was of defense, and speed to some of them. "Hey what's going on?" he questioned, as soon, his machine became unresponsive. "A virus?" he asked.
"Hahahaha, Die Die Die!" the pilot of the Nuclear machine called out, as it went for him. However, he stopped before he was struck by a beam. Not far from him, was a jet black Nazca class ship. "What the hell?" he questioned.
On the bridge, the visual appearance of Murrue Ramius was in the command seat, however, she was much younger, but her face looked that of the same experience as the Archangel Captain. "Load VLS 1-5, fire on my mark, to protect ZAFT's remaining G-Weapons." she ordered. "FIRE!" she commanded.
With that, the black ship fired, five Vertical Launch missiles, towards Testament. "Oh no you don't!" he called as he backed away from the ZAKU and fired his chest mounted vulcan guns, to destroy the incoming weapons.
"Shinn!" Rey called, but then, he had a sudden flash in his mind.
On the Mendeleev, Alex Strassmeier, a person who resembled in the looks department much like Yzak Joule, however black hair, had the same feeling. "This could prove interesting." he admitted, as his GuAIZ R's mono eye flashed. "Lia, this is Alex, I'm heading out." he mentioned, as he wore a black version of the ZAFT flight uniform, with silver as the secondary color on the uniform.
The Mendeleev's catapult fired, sending the GuAIZ R, into space, to do battle.
Armory One: Launch Bay
"Attention all personnel, as of now, LHM-EB01 Minerva's id code, has become Valid, now, Minerva Launch Sequence is in progress!" the voice radioed, as it was indeed, as the Minerva began to lower from its secured location, to the lower area of Armory One. "The Alerts of A-55, and M-6 are announced, Damage control, all teams stand by." the voice ordered. "Teams 2 and 5, prepare for possible hull ruptures, gate control online." the voice continued, as the bridge crew, watched as they lower themselves, from their view of inside the colony.
Meanwhile, Luna led the three newcomers, with several soldiers behind them, all ZAFT green. "Is this ship evacutating?" Ahmed questioned, hearing the alarms going off. "Man the damage must be worst then I thought." he added.
Cagalli looked grim, as she remembered Heliopolis, "This is getting worst and worst." Cagalli admitted, as the group walked down the hall, to the infirmary.
Just then "Minerva is now launching, all personnel, go to condition Red, repeat, condition red announced!" Meyrin's voice called out.
"Condition Red?" Ahmed questioned, as all he knew was red was bad, and that he has only heard about level one battle stations.
"The ship is going into combat." Athrun answered him.
"All remaining pilots, gather in the briefing room." Meyrin continued, as soldiers ran by Cagalli, and them.
"Is this ship going into battle!?" Athrun asked, realizing what he just answered.
Cagalli turned to him, "Athrun!" she told him, almost in a tone for him to calm down, however Ahmed went a bit wide eyed.
"Athrun?" Luna questioned, turning to them. 'As in, the famed pilot used by the Justice?' she thought.
Armory One Space:
Alex came in, as he fired at the Testament, however unlike Rey, Alex's cockpit was wide open. "Can't trust the Mobile suits eyes this time." he admitted, as he fired at the machine.
"Argh, you are so annoying!" the Testament's pilot called out, as the two horns on the machines head fired at the GuAIZ, however missed, as Alex dodged the attack. He then fired at the mobile suit skimming the right leg of the machine with a beam of emerald death.
While at the same time, Sagira clashed her beam tomahawk against the beam saber used by the Aneritto Blitz, "Just who is this Person?" Shaai questioned. "Its pushing the Blitz back, and this is the most advanced Machine they have built thus far!" she growled.
Sagira, was forcing the machine back, and then lost its connection, as Blitz, went back, and brought up, both of its large beam cannons, and the two smaller ones, and opened her missile pods. "Uh Oh!" she called out, as the Zaphyr's Remote weapon pods sprawled out, and made a net of beams acting as a shield for her, as the weapons hit it.
Back with the others, the silver GuAIZ, dodged a beam pistol attack, or rather beam shorty rifle. Alex flipped his machine upside down to the red mobile suit, and fired a pair of slugs from his hip mounted railguns. The slugs hit the Testament, right on the mark, however it was unphased. "Ok, confirmed, it does have phase shift." Alex said in a monotone. "For now on, its beam weapons only." he admitted, as he began to go in, drawing a beam saber from his machines shield.
The pilot of Testament smirked, "Well well, you choose to die up close, fine by me!" he called out, as he raced for the GuAIZ, with a giant claw forming over the left arm of the mobile suit.
"Psyched yeah." Alex told himself, as he brought up his beam rifle in his machine's off hand, and fired, the beam struck the Testament's head, turning it into nothing more then vapor, and melted metal.
"Argh, you jackass, you . . .!" he called out.
"Return to the ship 0984 return at once." came his captains voice.
"OR what?" he questioned, as on Asgard.
Matisse Aducarf smirked. "Then, prepare to be abandoned." she told him, just then the pilot froze, and turned, heading back to the ship. In reality, the pilot was part of the extended program, and was given his own block word, to make him submit, however not as badly as the others under Neo's command.
Speaking of which, the Exus flew by the silver GuAIZ R. "What the?" Alex questioned, as the Exus flew passed him.
Neo smirked, "Guess I'll have to catch this one." he told himself, as his four gunbarrels detached, and encircled the Impulse.
Just then, as the cockpit closed on the GuAIZ R, Alex raced behind him. "He must be planning on taking the Strike Knockoff as well." he said. "I think the Earth Forces already have enough of those now anyways." he said, firing.
Neo got his sudden flash, as he dodged the beam attacks. "Hmm, so this one is better then the others." Neo admitted, as he dodged the beams of the mobile suit. Alex soon found himself in a web, as he dodged the beams from the multiple Exus gunbarrels.
Alex smirked a bit, "He's good." he added.
"Strassmeier!" Shinn called as he flew to help him.
While Rey in his ZAKU Phantom, finally got control back, as the virus just vanished. The ZAKU Phantom, then went right for the mobile armor. "Shinn!" he called out.
Behind him, the Girty Lue, and Asgard appeared, ready to help their commander, while only the Nazca was there, waiting for a battle.
But things would not be like that for long, as the Minerva lowered into space, engines going at full power. "As she gave victory to the Athen's, lets see her show true power, in defending our world, Minerva, battle ready!" Talia called out, as the newest warship of ZAFTs, version, and equal to the legendary Archangel Class ships.
A/N: Wow, Chaotic so far, and already over a 10,000 word chapter. The Gundams Stolen, METEO Blitz appears, and fights off the Zephyr ZAKU. Alex Strassmeier coming in, defeating one of the legendary first generation Gundams ZAFT had created number 12 Testament, and drove it off. Asgard and Girty Lue, ready to do combat, with Mendeleev, and the Minerva.
Destiny is off to a good start so far, I think, let me know what you all think
