Chapter 9 Only the Strongest will Survive

"This isn't good." Said Zechs as he stood on the bridge of Peace Million III "They know were we are and are moving fleets to box us in."

"Ya and we have no contact from the scout group." said Duo "We lost the element of surprise; it is almost as if they knew we were coming."

"No matter we will launch the attack." said Wufei as he sent out the order and the mobile suits started to launch.

"Any word from Leilani?" asked Victor as he activated the Omen.

"Sorry son, no all we can find of the transport is remains." Said Duo as his son lowered his head.

"Leilani is dead?" asked Marena

"It seams so." said Duo as his son slammed his fist against the cockpit wall.

"Dad let me go, the Angel of Death needs to collect some souls in payback for them taking hers." said Victor as his eyes burned with hate and revenge.

"Finally you are thinking correctly Victor." Said Dimitri with a grin as the gundams awaited their orders.

"Son." said Duo sadly as he tried to find the words however suddenly a bridge crewman yelled.

"Enemy Gundams on radar."

"Which ones are them?" asked Wufei

"We have a match on all the gundams from the battle of Neo-Plants. Four with the Orb forces and another four with Zaft." said the radar man.

"Zechs, Duo lets head down to our gundams." ordered Wufei as he turned to leave.

"Sir we have three unknown suits coming from the Zaft forces." said the operator as he pulled up the image. One of the machines was brown and green with two black packs on its back, in its hand held a long rife. The other two looked a lot like the gundams known as the Strike Freedom and the Gaia. The one that looked like the Gaia was sliver and was currently in wolf mode. The one that looks like the Freedom only the colors where off and it held a large shield.

"New Gundams." said Wufei "Order our gundams to launch at once."

"Yes, sir."

Meanwhile Leilani sat inside her new gundam her fingers danced across the keyboard as fast as her coordinator hands could go bring all the systems online and making all the small changes to the systems.

"I'm good." Said Uzumi as the Constitution was lifted into one of the catapults.

"Me too." Said Leilani as Golden Wing was lifted into the other side.

"Alright lets go." said Uzumi "Uzumi Athha Constitution." With that he launched into space.

"Leilani Yuy. Wing II Launching." said Leilani as she closed her visor a second before she launched. The moment she cleared the ship she transformed Wing II into flight mode, or almost a match to the bird mode from the original Wing gundam.

"Two more gundams." said Wufei

"Five new gundam, just like us." said Duo

"Leilani it's great to have you back." Said Rhyu as the new gundam team formed up.

"Ya, I wish the first time we had to pilot these machines was different." Said Leilani as she looked out the swarm of mobile suits gathered around the preventer fleet.

"That is the most mobile suits I have ever seen." said Siegel

"That's just the tip of the iceberg." said Leilani "They have over 2 million suits in their universe."

"2 million?" asked her cousin Mayu in the Terra

"Ya, but I am worried about those five suits there." Said Leilani as she pulled up the image of the five new gundams flying out of Peace Million III

"Ok, we should each take one of them down first." said Uzumi

"Guys they are my friends, three of them close friends if you can stop them without killing them." said Leilani

"Alright we will try." said Uzumi "However if we have too kill them."

"Thanks." said Leilani as she looked at the mass of enemy mobiles standing in space waiting.

"Let's give this a try." said Heero as he hit his radio "Attention Preveter fleet you are surrounded by a combined Zaft and Orb fleet. Recall your mobile suits and return home and you will not be harmed."

"We will not retreat, death to all Coordinator!" yelled a voice back as Atlron, Deathsythe and Tallgeese the III launched from Peace Million III.

"Wufei they have us out gunned." said Duo as he looked at the Orb fleet. They had moved into a single line battle column like battleships used to do. All their guns aimed directly in the mass of mobile suits. Behind them the Copernicus base defense system was on and missiles where locked on to different targets.

"We have them outnumbered." said Wufei

"Numbers do not matter now; they have us in a kill box. They can fire at will into us." said Zechs as he noticed that Zaft mobile suits and ships also had all their guns trained on them.

"You know the orders no surrender and no retreat." said Wufei before he hit the radio.

"All forces attack!" yelled Wufei as Peace million and the assault carriers fired missiles.

"All forces, fire at will Angel squad move in and destroy at will, everyone else support." Ordered Heero as the Zaft and Orb ships fired their Gottfried cannons into the mass of mobile suits. Aiming wasn't required, the Preventers where too close together.

"Alright let's keep those enemy gundams busy." said Uzumi as he transmitted target zones.

"Ok, I have the Sorra, Marena." thought Leilani as she transformed into flight mode and flew toward Marena who was also in flight mode. Her Sorra looked like a larger version of a murasame.

"Looks like we have company." said Dimitri as he raised his Ragnarock's arm cannon however suddenly an alarm went of, he barely had time to get out of the way before a beam shot flew by.

"Damn it." said Rhyu as he took aim again with the Shard's long range rife. "I will make you pay for making me miss the first time I fired my new gun."

"They have a sniper." said Bernardo

"I'll take care of it." said Marena as she tried to fly toward Rhyu at high speeds only to come face to face with Leilani. Who without saying a word started a rolling dog fight with Marena.

"I'll move forward." said Aeneas as he turned the Sikyon's giant shield forward and headed toward Rhyu.

"I don't think so." said Siegel as he aimed the Liberty's hand gun and the four snap up beam canons at Aeneas. He fired but the moment the beams came near a giant energy shield appeared taking the blows. "Alright let's try this." With that Siegel launched his dragoon pods from his suits back. The pods flew through the sky firing at the Sikyon but everywhere he fired an energy shield appeared even when there wasn't a shield.

"This suit was designed to take on suits like yours." said Aeneas as he tried to stab Siegel with his energy tipped spear. "I have the ultimate defense."

"Damn it." said Siegel

"Siegel, it has energy shields everywhere excepted under the shield arm." said Leilani in a private channel. "The power source for all their shield generators is located inside the shield."

"So remove its shield remove its power supply." said Siegel as he put his gun away and pulled his sword.

"I got the white one." said Mayu as she ran forward as fast as the Teera would take her. The moment it neared Bernardo and the Tallgeese IV. Bernardo pulled his sword just as Mayu activated the two side sabers trying to cut the legs of the Tallgeese. The sword and the saber clashed as both tried to kill the other.

"I got you." said Uzumi as he raised his shield and pulled up his duel sided beam sword.

"I will get you for what you did." said Victor as he charged forward sword in hand. The two suits clashed then suddenly out from under the Omen's shield came a small scythe. Uzumi jumped back barely missing Victor's hidden weapon.

"All right we have three of the older generation." said Athrun

"Yes, I'll take Zechs." said Heero as Wing Angel flew through the battlefield cutting apart enemy mobile suits.

"I'll take Duo." said Athrun

"Looks like I have the other one." said Kira

"No, you need to head to Copernicus and help out there." said Luna "I'll handle him."

"Alright." said Kira as he flew off.

"Where are the others?" asked Heero as if on schedule a mass of enemy mobile suits exploded.

"It's good to be back in this suit." said Dearka as he stood on the surface of the moon with the Buster firing up at the enemy.

"We will take of them here you just get them to leave." said Shinn as the Destiny and Gaia appeared leading a group of Zaft mobile suits through the fire fight.

"Be safe brother." said Stella as Heero flew by.

"This is a massacre." said La Flaga as he looked out at the battlefield as he and the Akatsuki stood back protecting the Seraphim. The Preverters couldn't get near the fleets. The Gottfried Cannons were ripping though the enemy forces and any suits that neared them were destroyed by their mobile suits.

"They have one capital ship and lightly armed transports." said a voice as a M4 Astray flew up.

"Correct, Natarle." said Mu La Flaga to his eldest daughter. Natarle Flaga looked liked her mother except for her father's blonde hair. Natarle was the only one of his and Murrue's kids to join the military. His son was studying to be an doctor and his younger daughter was still in school.

"They don't really stand a chance; we have them surrounded on all sides." said Natarle "It's sad to see another war happen."

"Ya, it is." said Mu as he looked out at the battlefield.

"We have company." Said Zechs as Heaven's Impulse, Wing Angel and the Justice appeared.

"I want Heero." said Wufei only to have Lunamaria fire in his face.

"Guess not." said Zechs as he and Heero crossed swords again.

"Looks like I have a rematch." said Duo as he brought his scythe down on Athrun's shield.

"Stay still!" yelled Rhyu as he fired a wave of guided missiles at Dimitri who countered with his own.

"Will someone take care of that sniper." said Dimitri as he ducked behind the remains from an old colony.

"Can't do anything right now." said Marena as she fired at the gundam she was fighting against, unaware it was Leilani. She fired a wave of missiles and guns at Wing II. Leilani rolled out of the way before firing her gun. Since it the Sorra was a larger copy the Murasame so Leilani knew how it moves and its weaknesses. She fired her gun hitting the Sorra in the wing destroying the flight stabilizer causing the suit to go into a tail spin.
Leilani looked to her right to see Uzumi fighting with Victor.

"Uzumi trade." ordered Leilani as she transformed into human mode and fired at the Omen.

"Alright." said Uzumi as he went to fight Marena who had quickly transformed out of flight mode into human mode to stop the tail spin.

"So I get a new one." said Victor as he spun this ball and chain around so fast it was a blur even to Leilani's eyes. "I will get you for killing Leilani."

Leilani bite her tongue trying not to tell Victor who he is really fighting. Victor threw his range weapon at the enemy gundam in front of him. Leilani barely had time to move out of the way of Victor's attack.

"Damn he is good when he upset." thought Leilani before lowering her head. "He is upset that because he thinks I am dead." Suddenly the ball came flying back hitting Leilani in the back sending her toward Victor's sword.

"Die!" yelled Victor as he raised his sword ready to cut the enemy in too.

Leilani's eyes widened as she raided her sword just in time to block Victor's sword inches before it hit her suit's head.

"Damn it." said Victor as the enemy forced his sword back "I will take your soul for taking hers."

"You're a fool Victor." thought Leilani as she rolled her suit's wrist cutting the power link between his sword and his suit. The sword flew out into space as Leilani raised her own sword.

"Ok how to I do this?" asked Siegel to himself as he kept up the fire at Sikyon's defenses shields. "I need to hit under his shield but how….I got it."

"What is he doing? Doesn't he realize that he can't get past my defense?" asked Aeneas as he watched the enemy gundam put away his sword and pull out his gun. Suddenly the suit threw his shield below the Sikyon. His eyes widened as the suit fried its gun at the shield, causing the energy shield activated. The energy shield caused the beam to bounce up coming up the beam found it's in the small gap between the arm. The blast severed the arm cutting all power to the entire suit.

"Finally listening to Commander Shinn Aster paid off." said Siegel

"How did he know?" asked Aeneas

"Aeneas, Marena head back to Peace Million." orders Bernardo as he crossed sent a whip flying at the Tera but Mayu moved out of the way firing her gun.

"Alright." said Marena as she made her turn toward the smoking Peace Million III.

Victor's eyes widened as the enemy sword came closer. His life flashed before his eyes ending with a Leilani's smiling face. "Looks like I'll be with you soon Leilani." Thought Victor with a grin as certain death came closer and closer.

At the last moment Leilani pulled her sword back and flew over Victor's shoulder. She tried to finish the attack but she just couldn't bring herself to do it. "Damn it!"yelled Leilani as she slammed her fist against the cockpit fall

"Lei what is wrong?" asked Rhyu over a private link

"I just can't do it." said Leilani

"Why didn't he kill me." said Victor

Meanwhile across the battlefield old enemies where trading blows. "Zechs why are you here?" asked Heero

"Not because I want to be Heero." said Zechs as he took Heero's second sword blow on his shield. "I would rather have left you all alone but Relena wouldn't let it."

"Relena is dead." said Heero playing dumb

"She lived." said Zechs

"I see." said Heero "You must see that you walked into a death trap and that you can't win this fight."

"I know." said Zechs as he looked out at the battlefield only to see that most of the carriers were distorted or venting smoke. Mobile suit parts from the destroyed Leo's floated everywhere. Only a few of the suits were still working and the Zaft/Orb fleets had stopped firing because of the lack of targets.

"I wanted to fight your husband but I guess a weak woman like you will just have to do." said Wufei as he shot one of his dragon arms at Lunamaria who simply cut it in half.

"I thought you would of learned years ago to never under estimate someone because of their gender." said Luna as she flew forward cutting Altron to pieces.

Heero looked over to see that Wufei was out of the fight. "Looks like Wufei is out of the fight making you the commander." said Heero "If stop fighting we will let you leave after you pick up your wounded and dead."

"Alright." said Zechs as he hit his radio "All forces this is wind stand down, recover all wounded and dead and return home."

"What?" asked Victor as everyone stopped fighting

"That is an order Victor." Said Zechs

"But they killed Leilani!" yelled Victor unaware that Leilani was listening in.

"Too many people had died today, we lost and they are letting us go home." Said Duo as everyone started backing away from each other.

"Fine." said Victor as he headed back to Peace Million III.

Leilani just sat there watching as slowly the Preventer fleet jumped away.

Well I hope you liked the battles. I would like to thank everyone who reviewed and ask that you keep on reviewing. Thanks Wilkins75
