Chapter 15 Here comes the Rain
"This is all your fault!" yelled Relena as she pointed at Zechs.
"How?" asked Zechs "I warned you that they were coming."
"You should have been ably to see that they were going to attack Mars." yelled Relena as she pointed at the TV screen. "They are questioning my leadership of our nation."
"Are a preparing our counter attack as we speak." said Wufei "We will destroy the station and kick them off Mars."
"Good." said Relena "But instead of attacking them here, we should hit them in their own universe."
"We can't." said Zechs "They have destroyed most of our jump divers and a key resource needed to make more can only be found on Mars."
"So we attack them at Mars." said Relena "And once we crush them there we will crush them in their own universe."
"What have we learned about their forces?" asked Duo
"Well they have a battle station built out of a large asteroid with five dozen ships spread around the planet with mobile suits all around it." said Wufei
"Ground forces?" asked Zechs
"From what we can see, they are keeping forces around the mine and space ports with repair teams working around the clock." Said Wufei
"So they are digging in?" asked Relena
"Also their repair teams are going around upgrading to roads and other public works." said Wufei "And as far as we can see, the people are loving them."
"I can't understand those people." said Relena "Why are the siding with these inhuman monsters?"
"Because you're the bigger monster." thought Zechs
On Mars Leilani walked down the street of the capital of the new Mars government in her Orb uniform. She wasn't the only one, some EA soldiers walked by and off in the distance she could see a Zaft engineer working with his mars counterpart. Suddenly the sound of breaking bones hit her hears. She looked around the corner into a large alley way only to see a large group of people beating the crap out of a woman and man in their early twenties.
"What is going on?" yelled Leilani as the mob turned to look at her.
"This man worked for the preventers." said a man in the mob as he pointed to the man with the broken jaw. "And this is his wife."
"We were engineers at the mine, we had nothing to do with the military." said Woman "Please don't punish us."
"Shut up!" yelled another man as he kicked the woman in the stomach. "At least the Orb military is here to arrest you."
"Do anything like that again and I will arrest you." said Leilani as she glared diggers at the man. "These people did nothing wrong and even if they did you can't act as judge, jury and executioner. Now leave or I will make you leave."
Slowly the mob started to disperses "Are you two alright?" asked Leilani
"Thank you." said the woman
"I'll call the hospital." said Leilani as she reached for her cell phone unaware that a film crew had filmed the entire thing. The moment she hung up the phone the film crew ran up.
"Excuses me but are you a natural or a coordinator?" asked the report as Leilani just looked at her.
"A coordinator but why does it matter?" asked Leilani as she pulled a small medical kit from her pocket in her uniform and started to treat the man wounds "Any one with a heart would help these people."
Just then the ambulance arrived. "What happened?" asked a Police officer.
"A mob attacked these people." Said Leilani as the medical team loaded the couple into the ambulance before racing to the hospital.
"I see, I will need you name for my report." Said the Officer
"I am Ensign Leilani Yuy Angel Squadron Orb Military sir." said Leilani as the officer's eyes widened and the camera crew almost fainted.
"Yuy as in Heero Yuy?" asked the stunned officer
"Ya, he is my dad." said Leilani
It took only minutes for the film to travel to all the news networks. "Heero Yuy's coordinator daughter saves a natural couple from mob. Are Coordinators Really that Bad?" Read the bottom message of the TV screen as Relena snapped the pen in her hand.
"Now the news people are actively turning against me." snapped Relena "They probably faked the whole thing."
Meanwhile on the moon Victor stood in an empty room looked up toward the TV monitories at the image of Leilani forcing the mob back. "Son." said Duo as he walked in.
"Father why didn't you tell me the truth?" asked Victor
"Son, I couldn't." said Duo
"Yes, you could it is as simple as saying Relena nuked the colony and coordinators are innocent." Snapped Victor
"Victor I couldn't say that because if I did then Relena would destroy our family. I did it to protect you, your sister and your mother." Said Duo as he looked at the floor "That is why I have to ask you not to tell anyone."
"People need to know the truth dad; we are fighting for the wrong reasons." Snapped Victor
"Yes, we are but if you tell then Relena will kill our family and theirs." Said Duo
"What if we go to Quatra's colony or even side with Leilani?" asked Victor
"Will not work, they would hunt us down at Quatra's colony and I think Heero would believe it was a set up." said Duo
"So we do nothing?" asked Victor
"Yes, we do nothing." said Duo "We don't actively help Relena and we don't help Heero. We can just hope that the right side wins."
"Dad how can I do that?" asked Victor "How can I fight for something I know is false?"
"I don't know….I don't know." said Duo
Meanwhile on the EA's battle station Admiral Keys looked over the real time Preventer Troop movements. "They are coming to get us." Said Admiral Keys
"Ya, looks like they are gathering their forces and they should launch within the hour and it will take them about 2 hours to get here at full speed." said Heero before looking at "What do you want to do?"
"Simple let them come we will destroy when they get here." said Admiral Keys "They have no idea of what we can do."
"You are over estimating us." said Kira "We should try to fight them far away from here."
"Why not both?" asked Heero with a grin as he began laying out his plan.
Three hours later Wufei stood on the bridge of Peace Million Three, looking out at the massive Orb, Zaft and EA fleet. However his fleet has bigger. "Report." said Wufei
"They have their weapons on us but it would seam that we are out of their range." said a radar officer "There are dozens of new satellites in orbit that were not there earlier."
"Are there any weapons on those saturates?" asked Wufei
"None." said the radar officer
"Alright let's show them that we mean business arm the new slam head missiles." ordered Wufei as missiles across the fleet armed. "Fire."
A wave of missiles fired off heading straight toward the enemy fleet. "Massive energy build up coming from the satellites." Yelled and officer.
"I thought you said there wasn't any weapons there!" yelled Wufei as energy beams shot off from the satellites but they didn't go toward the preventer force instead the beams went to the other satellites forming a web around the planet and in front of the EA battle station. The Web turned into a giant energy shield taking the blows from the missile hits.
"Zaft sure come up with the best toys." said Admiral Keys as the shield took the blows.
"These were designed for defend of the Plants against nuclear attack they can stand up to this." said Kira "Now it is time to even the numbers."
"Order our mobile suits to launch, those shields can't hold up forever." Snapped Wufei but suddenly four of the carriers exploded.
"Enemy gundam sighted directly behind us." Reported the radar man
"Damn I am good." said Rhyu as he took another shot destroying two carriers with a single shot.
"Didn't we sweep that area?" asked Wufei
"Yes, sir." said the radar man as the mobile suits began launching.
"Marena I need you to get ride of that sniper." ordered Wufei as Marena whipped the Sorra around before flying toward the Shard at full speed.
"Your fast." said Rhyu as he locked on to the fast moving gundam with that he pulled the trigger but Marena rolled out of the way.
"Oh crap." said Rhyu as the Sorra became to close for his rife.
"You have no defenses up close, bad for you good for me." said Marena as she transformed out of flight mode and pulled her sword. However suddenly the Shard disappeared right in front of her. "What the?" asked Marena as she stopped and looked around trying to find the sniper.
"Please move on, please move one." said Rhyu as he sat inside his mobile suit. The Shard stealth system was on making him invisible to everything but he couldn't move and the Sorra was so close it filled his screen.
"All forces engaged the enemy." ordered Wufei
"Sir, we are getting a message from command." said an Aid "Enemy fleet spotted near the lunar base."
"What?" asked Wufei
"The force includes Wing Angle." said the officer
Meanwhile only an hour away from the Preventer main space base Heero flew inside Wing Angel making sure that he was able to be seen by the preventer scout force.
"To move your enemy entice him with something he is sure to take." Said Heero as he once again quoted the Art of War "So tell me Wufei what do you want more attacking Mars or to fight me. You decide Wufei."
"We can't let them take or Lunar base send the 3rd-6th units to cut them off just before they make it to the base." said Wufei "I'll be going too."
"Sir, if you go who is in command?" asked the Captain
"What is there to say, there is the enemy destroy them." snapped Wufei as point toward the screen that showed the enemy fleet.
"Sir yes, sir." Said the captain as Wufei walked out of the bridge and toward his gundam.
"Looks like Wufei is taking Heero's bait." said Admiral Keys as 1/3 of the enemy Fleet turned to go after Heero and the small force he lead.
"Ya but there is still a massive fleet in front of us." said Kira
"Not for long, we only need ten minutes to move into place." said Admiral Keys
"Move what into place?" asked Kira
"Your technicians were not allowed in certain areas for a reason." said Admiral Keys with a grin.
The Zaft, Orb and EA ships fired their beam cannons at the enemy unlike the first time the enemy was spread out and wasn't boxed in. However their fire was still deadly at the same time their mobile suits began fighting each other. In a one on one fight an Orb, Zaft and EA counter part could take down their Preventer counterpart but this wasn't a one on one fight it was a four on one fight and they were the one.
"Alright you know the plan, all we have to do is force them back." said Umize as he lead the flight of three gundams. Mayu was on the mars surface with the back up mobile suits incase they broke through.
"Just watch and learn." Said Shinn as the destiny flew by "We old timers still have a lot to teach you young guns."
"Sure Uncle Shinn." said Leilani "I'll take sector 3." With that she flew off toward a group of out number Orb mobile suits.
"Alright pick a target and destroy it." Ordered Shinn as he flew into battle
"What are theses things?" asked Bernardo as he jumped out of the way of a giant crab like thing that kept trying to grab him.
"There mobile armors, used by the EA." said Victor as he remembered seeing the picture of the Zamza-Zah mobile armor in the history book he had read.
"How do you know that?" asked Dimitri as he shot his rail gun that flew through three Zaft mobile suits.
"Leilani let me read the history of the first and second Valentine War while she was holding me prisoner." said Victor as he tried his best not to kill any of the pilots of the mobile suits he was cutting up.
"Did they tell you in the history book on how to destroy them?" asked Bernardo
"They said you had to get to close, from a distance those shields are perfect." Said Victor as another mobile armor rolled in.
"Where is he?" asked Marena as she floated threw space.
"Marena we need your help." Said Bernardo as he moved out of the mobile armor fire
"I can't leave a sniper behind our lines." said Marena as suddenly she hit something but nothing was there. "What the?"
"Crap." said Rhyu as he deactivated his stealth system and powered his engines.
Marena's eyes widened as out of no where the enemy sniper Gundam appeared. Marena brought her sword down but missed Rhyu by an inch. Rhyu backed up and fired his short range missiles.
"I could use some help here." said Rhyu
"I'm on route." Said Leilani as she transformed into flight mode and headed straight through the Preventer Fleet to rescue her friend from another friend.
"I got you now!" yelled Marena as she brought her sword down on Rhyu cutting off one of the two beam cannon pods located on the Shard's back.
"Rhyu I am coming in." said Leilani as she transformed back into human form. Rhyu extended his hand as Leilani passed by at full speed. The two gundams grabbed onto each other and with that Leilani pulled her friend out of the battle.
"Sir, we are ready." said an EA aid
"What is ready?" asked Kira
"Our Neo-Geniuses canon." said Admiral Keys with a grin as Kira's eyes widened "Order our forces to clear the area."
"Thanks Leilani." said Rhyu as they returned to their lines.
"No problem you would do the same for me." Said Leilani as an order came over their radio. Leilani's heart stopped as she looked at the order and location "They are going to fire Neo-Geniuses and that is where my friends are."
Leilani turned her suit around and flew directly into the target area. "Leilani what are you doing? That's the target area." yelled Rhyu
"I know!" yelled Leilani
"They are falling back." said Bernardo as the mobile suits began falling back.
"We have them on the run." said Aenus as he stabbed a small mobile armor with his spear. Suddenly an alarm beeped "Leilani is coming."
"Let's get her." said Dimitri with a smile as he fired a wave of missiles at Wing II which just rolled out of the way.
"Stop it Dimitri I didn't come to fight you." snapped Leilani
"But I did." said Dimitri as he fried his arm rail gun.
"I came to get you guys out of the line of fire." said Leilani "You have to get out of there they are going to fire Neo-geniuses in less then ten seconds."
"We have them on the run." said Bernardo "This is a fake."
"No, they are clearing the way so that they don't kill there own." Said Victor
"No one asked you." Snapped Dimitri
"Energy levels are in the green." said a technician
"Good, fire." said Admiral Keys as the huge beam fired out toward the peverenter fleet.
"High energy source detected." said Marena as a glow came from the battle station
"We have to get out of here!" yelled Leilani as the beam of energy came closer and closer.
"Move." Yelled Bernardo as the gundams moved out of the way missing the beam shot that ripped through the prevetenter fleet destroying everything it touched. Screams came across the radio as the ships exploded. The beam kept up going pass the fleet and pass Wufei until it died down near the moon.
"What was that?" asked Marena as she looked out over the destroyed preventer fleet. Everyone who was left alive was in full retreat.
"A Neo-Geniuses cannon." said Leilani "One of our most powerful weapons." Suddenly her suit shock as missiles hit it. The missile struck right next to the cockpit. Her armor was ably to take most of the punishment but still the blow broke some of the straps holding her in. With her body not strapped into her seat the next blow sent her crashing hard into cockpit wall. As she hit the wall pain shot up her arm the missiles strikes kept coming.
"What are you doing, Dimitri!" yelled Victor as he took a blow on the shield.
"What are you doing?" asked Dimitri as he armed another wave of missiles to fire at Leilani. "She is our enemy."
"She saved us." said Marena as she stood beside Victor between Dimitri and Leilani. Bernardo followed suit.
"It isn't honorable to kill an enemy who had just saved you." said Aeneas "We can kill her some other day."
"Fine." said Dimitri as he flew away.
"Leilani are you alright?" asked Victor as he turned to look at her.
"I'll be fine, you better get going." said Leilani as she held onto her arm as she sat back down in her seat.
"Alright." said Victor as he turned and flew away. Leilani watched as Victor slowly flew away.
"Leilani are you alright?" asked Shinn as he neared his niece.
"I hurt my arm other then that I'm fine." said Leilani
"Leilani never do anything like that again." said Shinn "I don't want to explain to Heero why you're dead."
"Heero the enemy fleet has left mars." said Captain Flaga as there force neared the moon.
"Alright time to go." said Heero as he headed back to the ship and just as the other ships in the fleet started to jump away Wufei showed up.
"You must fight me you coward!" yelled Wufei as he charged forward but he was too late, Heero was gone.
