Chapter 20 Battle in the Colony
Wufei jumped back as the other gundams activated their shields as a massive barrage of missiles and bullets ripped away from Heavyarms. "Take them down." ordered Wufei
"Sir, Enemy forces incoming." said a preventer aid over the radio
"I am fighting them." snapped Wufei
"No sir, Orb ships are coming at full speed toward the colony." said the aid "Sir one is the gundam carrier."
"Crap." said Wufei "Do not let them in."
"Sir, two objects and five small ships have launched from the carrier at high speed." said the aid
"Well stop them." said Wufei as he pulled his trident.
"Admiral and Vice Admiral Yuy are away along with the recon squad." reported an officer on the Seraphim
"Good, open the door." said Captain Flaga as the Seraphim turned one of it's Gottfried on the main gate. With one blast the door came crashing down. For a brief second Murrue Flaga could see the inside of the colony as Wing Angel, Heavens Impulse and the five fast troop assault ships moved inside the colony before the emergency door closed keeping the air inside.
"Enemy ship Peace Million 3 coming around from far side of colony." said the radar man "Confirm two gundams."
"Which ones?" asked Athrun
"It's Tallgeese the 3rd and the Sorra." said the radar man
"Alright we will handle them." said Kira "Have the other gundams find another way in and clear the space around the colony."
"Will do." said Captain Ramius
"Take this." Yelled Dimitri as he fired a wave of missiles at Trowa not carrying where they hit or who they killed. Trowa had the heavy arms behind a tall five story building taking cover from the beam fire.
"They certainly did upgrade the weapons." said Trowa as he sent another attack down rang only to have them bounce off the shield.
"Ya, or tech is 17 years old at best." said Quatra as he brought his sword down on the Sikyon large shield. "But we have to try; I can't let the last hope for true peace die in the flames of war."
"I understand." said Trowa as he side stepped Wufei's attack. "That is why I left. I saw what Relena was doing and that there was no hope to stop it. So I decided to disappear in the hopes that I wouldn't be called back to the battlefield. But once again it called me back."
"It calls us all back." said Quatra as suddenly on of Dimitri's rail gun shells hit one of his sword breaking it in two.
"We just need to hold out a little longer." said Trowa as he disengaged on of his arm guns and pulled his knife. "It shouldn't be much longer."
"What will be?" asked Quatra as he threw the destroyed end of his sword at a Leo. For a second the Leo just stood their with the sword sticking out of its head before it crashed into the ground. Suddenly the roar of supersonic jets filled the air. As six blurs shot by.
"What was that?" asked Wufei his answer came when Wing Angel landed in a grouping of six Leos. Before any of the pilots could react Heero had pulled his sword and with one sweeping motion. He cut all six Leo's off at the legs sending them crashing into the ground.
"For a father to come to save his daughter." said Trowa.
Behind the lines a group of Preventer soldiers kept up their search for Leilani Yuy. The sound of battle had them on their toes but it was still far off. "Alright next house." said the soldiers as they headed toward the apartment building were Leilani and Victor were being watched over by Amanda Barton.
"What am I going to do?" thought Amanda as she looked at Leilani. She couldn't walk and one of her arms was out of the fight and Victor hadn't woken up yet. She reached into a nearby desk and pulled a small pistol. "I am a doctor not a soldier."
"Alright lets start." said their commander as suddenly a rope fell from above. "What the hell?"
He looked up just in time to see a boot hitting him in the face. The other members of the preventer squad were stunned as they looked at the man. His face was hidden behind a tinted visor and he was dressed in a black armored flight suit with the Orb flag patch on his arm. He held a Sub machine gun in his arm. He turned around and in one quick movement dropped the preventers.
"All right come on down." said the Orb Marine as he looked at the small attack shuttle that hovered silently over head. Five more of Orb Recon Marines came down the rope. Around the building the other four transports had unloaded their marines. Meanwhile Luna was attacking a nearby mobile suit squad so that they didn't attack the marines as they went in to rescue her daughter.
"Alright she is in this building sir. Third floor room 303." said one of Marines
"Thanks." said the Sergeant as they headed into the building. They didn't wait for the evaluator instead they just rushed the stairs and in less then a minute they were outside the door.
"Is this the place?"
"Yes, her signal is right on the other side of the door."
"Alright three…two…one." said the sergeant as one of the marines kicked in the door. The others rushed in, Amanda was too scared she dropped her gun and raised her hand.
"Don't worry they are from Orb." said Leilani as she looked at the marines.
"Ensign Yuy it's time to go." said the sergeant
"Wait you can't move her, without the proper equipment." Said Amanda
"Who are you?" asked the Sergeant
"She is an ally and a Doctor." said Leilani "Just like him."
"Don't worry we have orders to get Victor Maxwell as well." said the sergeant his men started to assemble two stretchers.
"We have Ensign Yuy, ETA till extraction five minutes." said the sergeant into his radio
"Sergeant." said Leilani as he turned and looked at her. "You have to tell my parents what happened."
"Don't worry you can tell them after we get you to the Seraphim." said the sergeant
"No, you have to tell them that Preventer Dimitri is really a coordinator." said Leilani
"What are you talking about?" asked the sergeant
"That Relena has a created something like what the EA did in Londia only with coordinator." Said Leilani as the sergeant's eyes widened. Londia had become famous as one of the horrors of war.
"What?" asked the sergeant
"Just send my message, tell my parents." ordered Leilani as the sergeant sent the message out.
"So you're still around Trowa." said Heero as Wing Angle's sword crashed against Wufei's trident.
"Yes." said Trowa as he fired at Dimitri
"Focus on me!" yelled Wufei as he jumped into the air and tried to bring his trident down on Heero.
"Tell me Wufei, I know why Zechs and Duo fight for Relena but why do you?" asked Heero as he forced Wufei to crash into an office building.
"I thought it would be clear, Heero." said Wufei "She can give me you."
"Your madness with trying to defeat me, that is what you are fighting for?" asked Heero as his shoulder guns opened up on Wufei.
"No, I am fighting to show to everyone that I am the better soldier." said Wufei
"What?" asked Heero as moved out of the way of one of Wufei's dragon arms.
"Like you and every other true warriors, we can only feel alive on the battlefield." said Wufei "That is why I fight for Relena she can put me in this suit against and you. That way I can feel alive."
"Wufei." said Heero as a message came across his screen. "Tell me Wufei you hate coordinators don't you?"
"Yes, they are without honor." said Wufei as he charged forward and once again his and Heero's beam weapons clashed.
"Then you don't know that Dimitri is a coordinator." Said Heero
"Yes, I do." said Wufei as Heero's eyes widened "Who do think trained him."
"What, you always say how being a coordinator is unhonorable." said Heero
"When your enemy fights dirty you have to get dirty with them." answered Wufei
Meanwhile out in space, Bernardo and Marena where running for their lives."Were are they?" asked Marena as another Leo exploded.
"I don't know." said Bernardo to his sister as he fired his beam canon only to miss the fast moving Strike Freedom.
"There is only two of them how can they be this good?" asked Marena
"We are up against two of their three legendary pilots." said Bernardo as he tried to hit Kira only to have his shot miss.
Meanwhile Peace Million Three fired their missiles at the Seraphim but the AA guns knocked down most of the missiles but a few missiles did get near enother for the energy shield to activated taking the blow. Peace Million had little luck the Seraphim fire found home blowing apart parts of the ship with each shot.
"We can't take much more of this." said an officer on Peace Million
"Commander Wufei will kill me but order our retreat." said the captain as Peace Million began falling back.
"Captain they are falling back." said the Orb Radar man on the Seraphim.
"Good, are our gundams inside?" asked Flaga
"They found a hatch and just entered the colony." said the Radar man.
"Ensign Leilani Yuy and Victor Maxwell have been loaded onto the transport." Said the marine as their assault ship sat in a nearby parking lot.
"Good." said Luna as she destroyed another Leo as they tried to get to Luna. "Get out of here."
"You too Vice Admiral Yuy." said Umize as the other gundams showed up. "Protect your daughter; we will handle the liberation of the colony."
"I will go." said Rhyu "A sniper isn't that useful in the colony."
"You just want to protect Leilani and be her knight in shinny armor." Said Siegel as he blasted away a Leo
"So, I still have a point." said Rhyu
"Just set your sniper on a lower energy setting." said Umize "Mayu take the right cover the marines as they move on the remaining Preventer foot soldiers. We will handle the mobile suits."
Luna fell back as the assault shuttle carrying her daughter started to fly out of the colony. There was no way she was going to let anything happen to her daughter on their way to the Seraphim.
"Commander Wufei we are under attack and Peace Million have fallen back." Said an aid over the radio
"What!" yelled Wufei
"We have to fall back." said the aid
"Fine." said Wufei "Order our forces to fall back this colony is lost."
"Yes, sir." said the aid as he sent the order out.
"Dimitri, Aeneas fall back." ordered Wufei
"What." said Dimitri as he tried to hit Trowa but he was taking cover behind a building.
"We will deal with them later." said Wufei
"Live to fight another day." said Aeneas
"Correct." said Wufei as they fell back toward an exit hatch. Heero charged up his engines about to give chase when Quatra put a hand on his shoulder.
"No, let them go. There will be no more fighting then there has too on my colony." Said Quatra
"Very well." said Heero as he powered down his engines. Just then he got a message from Luna his daughter was back on the Seraphim.
