ZAFT Military Base
As Kira and Lacus were discussing about the incident with Cagali and Athrun as they moving toward with the hangar where the crime scene took place. Lacus' bodyguards followed behind them .They saw a newly built battleship at the hangar. They went to look at it from the bridge above the hangar. Kira was amused at the ship which was built based on Eternal and Archangel.
"That's LHM-GG09 Pluto built based on Eternal and Archangel. That ship is yours, Kira. " said Lacus as she smiled.
"You're giving it to me?" asked Kira.
"Yes, you'll need when you want to go Earth or anywhere." said Lacus.
"You're great, Kira." said Cagali in excitement.
"Well, looks like someone has his own warship. Impressive." said Athrun as he teased Kira.
"Stop it, Athrun." said Kira.
"However, I can't believe ZAFT managed to built that machine so fast." said Cagali.
"That's because we had the best team assigned on the project." said Lacus.
They continued moving till they reached the crime scene.
Hangar
As they came in,they saluted with the ZAFT soldiers. They also met with Shinn and most of the ex-Minerva crews who apparently became Pluto's crews. Most of them were happy to the heroes and their idol. Some of them took the opportunity to get an autograph from Lacus.
"What is the situation, everyone?" asked Lacus.
"Lady Lacus, we just found some of these at the crime scene." said one of the ZAFT soldiers as they handing over the evidence to Lacus and the others.
"This is?' wondered Athrun.
"It seems like some kind of chemical liquid but please be careful with it as it is corrosive." said the ZAFT soldier.
"Well, it seems to me like a blood. What do you think, Cagali?" said Kira to his twin.
"It looks sticky to me." said Cagali in disgusted tone.
Later
The alarm has activated which caused them to surprise. A ZAFT soldier reported to them via com-link.
"Lady Lacus, there are unknowns heading toward PLANT. Please get to safety with the Representative of Orb." said Yzak.
"I'll aboard Eternal with Cagali. Arthur, you take control of Pluto as Kira second-in-command." said Lacus.
"Yes, milady!" said Arthur Trine as he saluted to Lacus.
"We should deployed too. Let's go everyone." said Kira.
"Roger!" said the mobile suit pilots.
"It's a good thing a brought Justice along." said Athrun.
"Then, let's go, Athrun." said Kira.
"Right behind you." added Athrun.
As the pilots got into their mobile suits, the hatch opened.
"Lunamaria Hawke, Survive, taking off."
"Shinn Asuka, Destiny, taking off."
"Kira Yamato, Freedom, taking off."
"Athrun Zala, Justice, taking off."
Near PLANT
As the mobile suits were assembled outside PLANT. ZAFT forces were ready to confront the unknowns. Most of them were shocked to see the unknowns.
'What are those?" asked Athrun.
"There are many of them." said Kira.
"Can we really pull this off, Commander Kira?" said Arthur.
"Relax, Captain, If Commander Kira is here, we won't be having any trouble against those things plus we got Athrun on our side." said Lunamaria.
"Really! These are the unknowns!"said Shinn.
Their optical images revealed the unknowns. They were some mobile suits resembling the stolen unit, Chronos while some of them had the alien figure with each one of them had black in colour which almost invisible space, pairs of hands and legs with sharp claws and also long tails with blades at the end of the them.
"They are ugly if you ask me." said Lunamaria.
"Isn't that Chronos?" said Cagali in shocked.
"It appeared to be dozens of them." said Lacus.
"To think they were able to mass produced those in short amount of time." said Athrun.
"What kind of factory would-" said Lunamaria before she being interrupted by the beams fired from the Chronos units.
"Well, they aren't patience type I see." said Dearka.
The battle started as both sides returning fires to each other. The battle was chaotic as beams and missiles were almost everywhere in the battle zone. The ZAFT forces received high amount of casualties thanks to aliens which the nemies brought with them. The enemies were having the advantages. Suddenly, a jamming occurred on their com-link.
"Sir, something jamming our communication." said the one of ZAFT soldier.
"What-" said the white uniform ZAFT soldier.
"Sir, the Chronos are heading toward Eternal at a high speed." said the ZAFT soldier.
"What?" said Kira in shocked.
"Kira, I'll stop them. You and the others protect the PLANT." said Athrun as he went after the Chronos units.
"Understood." said Kira as he continue firing at the aliens.
As the Chronos was about to fire at Eternal and its crews were scared, a blast came from the above destroying its beam rifle.
'What's that?" said Cagali as the black mobile suit charged and slashed at the Chronos units one by one which shocked those who witnessed it.
"What's that mobile suit?" said Lunamaria.
"It's fast." said Lacus.
"Amazing! One mobile suit can take out the entire army." added Shinn as he was amazed to watch the unknown black mobile suit slashing the aliens.
"I wondered if Earth Alliance has something to do with it." said Cagali.
"What makes me wondering was how can a single mobile suit is able to take out the entire army." said Lacus.
As the battle end with the enemies retreating, the black mobile suit also vanished after the enemies escaped.
