Mobile Suit Gundam Seed REBIRTH

The year is Cosmic Era 90, 17 years has passed since the war between the Earth Alliance and that of the PLANT. Now a new-age battle has surfaced as a new Anti-nation called Z-ax declares themselves as the new Elite Forces, coming from the far reaches of Julies 7. Demanding their independence and complete control over both ZAFT, ORB, and Earth Alliance Forces...either you're with them, or against them…to join is to die, to die is to join.

Phase 04: The Blue Devil

"My name is Rika Yamato."

"A woman?" thought the captain. Rika pressed down on the rudder pedals and moved the Neo Gundam over by the ship. She opened the hatch and slid down the dangling cable onto the ship only to be ambush by soldiers wearing black and gray uniforms, "Oh…o-kay?" she said as female approached her wearing a different uniform. She had on black shoes, white pants, white shirt with black shoulder pads, and medals. Her hair was jet black, short cut, mixed skin but seemed tanned colored and had brown eyes,

"I'm Celeste Waltfeld, captain of The Jazquez. Miss Yamato, you know how to operate this machine?"

"Kind of…not too difficult," she answered as they headed inside the ship. The tech crew brought the Neo in and repaired any minor damage sustained. As they were walking toward the bridge, Rika while looking around accidentally bumped into a girl with purple hair.

"Damn, cuse you," she said.

"Oh sorry…wait I've seen you. You're the girl who saved me," Rika said.

"Cha! What of it?" she asked.

"I didn't get your name?" asked Rika.

"Well if you must know, it's Cassidy Asuka," she said. Cassidy had on black combat boots, gray pants, black belt, back shirt, and a gray jacket. She was Caucasian with long purple hair, and red eyes.

"Oh don't mind her," said another female approaching them. "She's just jealous someone fights better than her."

"Me jealous...yeah o-kay!" said Cassidy sarcastically.

"I'm Rosetta Ravencroft, charmed I'm sure," she said while flipping back her hair. Rosetta had on the same thing as Cassidy, but her shirt was pink and she had on a gray skirt than pants. She was also Caucasian, but with long flowing golden brown hair, hazel eyes, and the hottest body on the ship.

"Slut," coughed Cassidy.

"Cuse you? If you have something to say, then by all means," said Rosetta.

"Alright, you're a hoe and I don't like you," said Cassidy.

"You're a bitch and I don't you," snapped back Rosetta.

"LADIES! Must you be separated?" asked Celeste.

"Separate her ass," said Rosetta.

"Funny, do you want me to kick yours," lashed Cassidy.

"Umhm," coughed the captain. Cassidy rolled her eyes and headed the opposite direction while Rosetta waved bye to Rika.

"Okay wait, who are you people and what the hell is going on?" asked Rika as they continued their tour.

"We call ourselves DST (Delta Space Taskforce); we were created secretly to protect the peace between both the PLANT and Earth Alliance. From what we gather, this new threat known as Z-ax, are loyal followers of the late Patrick Zala who, for various reasons, retreated to the remnants of a space satellite of Julius 7 at the end of the Second Bloody Valentine War. Most followers of this group seek to forcibly re-establish of Patrick Zala's twisted sadistic legacy. They are led by Admiral Malakar who was chosen to rule over the Elite Forces supporters until the true heir become old enough to do so on his own," explained Celeste.

"What about the people on Cluster 8?" she asked.

"More likely taken hostage, but we can't help them…not now. I have orders to aid FAITH Mars lunar base in the protection of the Zeo Gundam," said Celeste.

"Zeo Gundam?" asked Rika.

"Twin brother of the Neo. We have strong feelings that the enemy will head over there to steal it. It is still under development thus a pilot has not been selected yet, but we are the only assault war-ship able to support mobile suits of that class."

"Twins?" thought Rika, "But what does all this have to do with me?" she asked as they reached the bridge.

"You've seen and heard too much, plus the fact you interacted with the enemy which may be valuable. Addition to that you've piloted a highly classified top secrete mobile suit, if you do not join us then I will have no choice, but to lock you in solitary confinement," said the captain when all of sudden alarms started to go off. "Status?"

"Ma'am, enemy mobile suits are headed in our direction," said Operator A.

"How much longer till we are set to take off?" she asked.

"Five minuets and counting," said Operator B. Celeste turned to Rika, but she was gone.

"Ma'am, someone is entering into the Gundam," said Operator B.

"What! Get her out of there."

"Negative, she closed the hatch and the tech crew are unable to open it from the outside now," said Operator A.

"Patch me through….Rika…Rika what do you think you are doing? You are not a trained pilot, this is real not a game," said Celeste.

"A game I plan on winning, I'll distract them while you make your escape now open the hatch," she said.

"…open the hatch."

"But ma'am?"

"Let's see what she can do," said Celeste.

Two Zankous jetted toward The Jazquez as the Neo Gundam stepped outside the ship with its new Type 81 beam rifle in hand.

"Alllllright—sooo how do I fire this thing?" she asked herself. The Neo Gundam held the rifle with both hands as Rika zoomed in a target, "Okay, steady…don't want to kill um…" The rifle lowered and a beam of pure energy was fired, hitting the first Zankou in the shoulder, causing the whole arm to explode.

"Turrets ready…FIRE!" commanded the captain. Bullets flew in the air, causing the second Zankou to back away.

"Ma'am, ready to take off," said Operator A.

"Now!" The ship's engine switched on to full power as the Neo Gundam opened the Helios II's main hatch for port. The ship headed out into space as the Neo stayed in front of it.

"Captain! Mobile suits up ahead," said Operator B.

"How many?" asked Celeste.

"Just three…pulling up on screen—now," said Operator A. There up ahead were two more Zankous and a blue looking one mobile suit.

"Could it be…is that, The Blue Devil?" said Celeste to herself. This blue mobile suit had a booster jetpack, a beam laser gun mounted on its right forearm, blue shield with three red spikes attached, 3-barrel missile launcher mounted on legs, and a right shoulder pad that had a red horn attach to it.

"Now, show the capabilities of your brand new mobile suit?" said Merquise inside the blue mobile suit, taking out a MMII-M9B3 77mm heavy assault machine gun. The two Zankous split up, the left one moved first as Rika started to hesitate,

"Stop…stop…or I'll shoot…I'll shoot you." But he kept on coming,

"STOP!" screamed Rika, pulling the trigger. The rifle went off and the beam went right though the Zankous chest armor,

"Ahhhhh!" screamed the pilot as the Zankou exploded.

"No, Kal," said Merquise.

"Wha…what is it doing?" asked Rika. The blue mobile suit crouched down then sprung forward as the booster jetpack gave it extra speed as Rika fired shot after shot, each time missing.

"Gotcha!" said Merquise, zooming toward the side.

"Launch shield!"

"Shield launching," replied Operator B. The shield launched out of the catapult,

"Oh no ya don't," said Merquise as his blue mobile suit released a rainfall of bullets. Rika rotated the joystick as the Gundam reached out and grabbed the shield just in time as the bullets hit. Rika placed the rifle under the shield and fired back, causing the blue mobile suit to ceasefire so that it can dodge the surprising counter attack.

"Interesting fighting tactic," said Merquise. The blue mobile suit charge forward, crashing into the Neo,

"Ahhhh!" screamed Rika, pulling the rifle trigger, but nothing was coming out,

"Now Rex!" shouted Merquise. The second Zankou started charging in from the front,

"NO, GET OFF OF MEEEE!!!" screamed Rika as she unthinkably thrust her beam rifle forward and literally slapped the blue mobile suit with it, causing it to let go,

"Damn!" said Merquise as the Neo Gundam then kicked it back. The right forearm popped up as Rika fired beam shots, hitting the Zankou's leg,

"Ehhaha."

"Rex, we're retreating…we recorded possible data enough to please my sister," said Merquise as the blue mobile suit grabbed the Zankou and blasted off back to the Delas Carrier.

Rika sat back, breathing heavily, "If I want to see my parents alive…then…I must fight…"
