Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews! Here comes the second chapter! Now we get slightly more aquainted with the Meisters and we meet a new character! I still hope you guys don't think of them as gary-stus or mary-sues!

And also, I've just returned to school. So I'm trying to get used to it again, so I really don't have much time to work on the fanfic. I'll try to upload a new chapter once a week (if anyone keeps reading it).

Ch. 2 To Be A Gundam Meister

The sun was starting to fall in the economic zone of Tokyo. Several people were walking back and forth though the city, going home or getting to the bar for a night's drink.

On the big screen on each building, the video of the old man speaking about Celestial Being continued. Celestial Being has been talked about on every channel, with different theories and fake news scandals about them. But since it's been a few days since they've played it, not many people payed attention to the video anymore.

Two girls walked down the road. The first one had long blond hair, wearing a pink shirt and blue skirt with brown boots. The second girl had breast-length brown hair and she wore a green-tank top and blue shorts with white sandals.

The blond girl turned to the screen. "They're playing it again? How many times has it been?"

"I dunno, Louise." The brown-haired girl scratched her head. "Probably hundreds... or thousands..."

"Huh?" She frowned. "Really?"

She slapped her friend's head playfully. "Come on Louise! You know I'm kidding!"

"I know! I know!" Louise rubbed her head. "Geez. You didn't have to hit so hard, Francesca!"

"Louise! Francesca!"

A young man ran up to the two in a hurry. He had neck-length brown hair and wore a white shirt with a blue vest over it and khakis. He gasped for air as he finally made it to them.

"Look Louise!" Francesca giggled. "It's Saji Crossroad, your boyfriend!"

"What?" Louise gasped, covering her face. "We're not like that... yet..."

"You guys walk too fast! You know that?" Saji complained.

Francesca punched him on the head, causing him to fall down. "You need to be a man, Saji! How can you chase after Louise like this?"

"Ehhh?" Saji was confused. "What do you-"

BANG!

Saji was on the floor, steaming coming out of the huge bump on his head that Louise had caused. "STOP SAYING ALL THESE THINGS!"

Eventually, Saji was helped up by the two girls. As they walked, Saji took notice of the video. "I wonder how Celestial Being can say these things so calmly?"

"Huh?"

"They're not fighting for their own gain." Saji explained. "Are they really that determined to end all war?"

"Maybe they're a group of volunteers!" Louise suggested.

"Or maybe they're aliens attempting to take over the world?" Francesca joked.

Saji sighed.

Human Reform League, Chairman Chambers

The Chairman of the Human Reform League turned off the Celestial Being video and sighed. "This is the group that stopped the terrorist attack on Heaven's Pillar?"

"We're not sure, but it's highly probable." The man in front of his desk replied. "In this video, they explain that they use the mobile suits known as 'Gundam'. Please observe."

The man turned on the screen again. In front of the Heaven's Pillar's Space Station, a huge, bulky mobile suit floated in front of it (Virtue). "Our space force caught images of this unknown mobile suit." He magnified the image to reveal the word, "Gundam," on it's armor.

"Gundam, huh?" The Chairman murmured.

AEU Capital

The congress of the AEU sat around a table, staring at the video of their new mobile suit being sliced to pieces by a single blue mobile suit. In the back, a red mobile suit stared at the Enact as if to taunt it.

"Our latest mobile suit was defeated so easily..." One man said.

"Do you think it was okay to show off our new weapon in the first place?" The man next to him asked.

"I apologize for that." The woman sitting in front of bowed. "The Enact was supposed to be the military's excuse for not completing the Orbital Elevator. I'm deeply sorry for having to say this."

The man next to her placed his hand on his forehead. "At first, I thought this was the work of the Union or the Human Reform League, but our mobile suit was developed in absolute secrecy. So I'm a little bitter on how a more stronger group was able to defeat it so quickly."

The rather chubby man in front of them nodded. "You're right. More than an armed organization, it seems like a warrior's government."'

"And the only information we have on them was the video that was played a few days ago." The man sighed.

"I can say this." The man at the end of the table said. "Celestial Being declares themselves to be a protector, yet they use their mobile suits to destroy ours and others. The mobile suit, Gundam."

Union, White House

"To end war with warfare, huh?" The president murmured as he looked through his window. "David, this group is trying to act as a substitute for us."

"Do you mean you accept what they are doing, Mr. President?" His secretary asked. "Do you have any reason for this?"

The president turned around and smiled. "Our country has always been the one to intervene in other countries' conflicts. That was to protect the citizens of the Union, and preserve our nation. We have never been inhumane."

"Are you saying they're taking our role?" The secretary asked. "Are they worthy of being our successors?"

The president nodded. "The Orbital Elevator is ten years old now. But just when our economy has been getting better, this has to happen..."

Meanwhile, in a lone island in the middle of nowhere, three mobile suits laid in bins, recharging. Setsuna and Naoto sat on big rocks, with Naoto splashing water on himself out of boredom.

Naoto turned as he heard footsteps. "Lockon."

"Hey guys. Did you see what they're calling us on the news?" Lockon said. "A private organization, determined to end all fighting. It's as if they actually believe that."

"We need them to believe that."

The three turned. Hong Long stood in the river, carrying Wang Liu Mei in his arms. She wore a traditional, Indiana Jones-like explorer outfit. "We have to act out Celestial Being's intentions, after all."

"Wang Liu Mei..." Setsuna muttered.

"Ah!" Naoto stood up and attempted to dry himself. At first sight, he fell for the exotic looks of Wang Liu Mei. "It's nice to see you!" As he tried to rub himself on the grass, he accidentally rolled into the river and screamed as he rushed down the stream.

"Idiot..." Setsuna scratched his head.

She smiled at the blue-suited Meister. "Time for the second mission!"

Meanwhile, near the Orbital Elevator, Billy, Graham, and Amina sat in the van. Billy busily typed onto the computer in the back of the van as Amina observed. "You okay with not returning to your military for awhile?"

"Right now, my main concern is the Gundam." Graham replied as he stared out the front window. "That suit's way too powerful to leave. It's fighting abilties are amazing, but that's not the only thing. According to Ensign, it can disable radar and communications. It's probably because of the light on their backs."

He turned to the back. "Ensign, you have any idea what that light was?"

Amina shook her head. "I only encountered it once before, when I was a kid. All I remember was the brilliant light that enveloped the mobile suit that saved my life back in Krugis. I don't know any scientific terms."

Billy raised his eyebrow. "You think I know? Maybe it's some photon collapsing phenomenon, but I don't know."

"Anyway, Ensign, you probably should be heading back." Graham said.

"Eh?"

Billy frowned. "What do you mean, Graham?"

"That mobile suit is my prey." Graham said with a smile. "I can't just let it go."

Amina also frowned, but then a small smile appeared on her face. "Great minds think alike, I guess."

"What do you mean?"

A vehicle came to view through it's headlights. It parked right in front of their vehicle, in which a man came out. Graham, Billy, and Amina walked out of their vehicle as well.

The man saluted his superior. "Lieutenant Graham Aker. We have prepared a carrier with two mobile suits for your use."

"Two? I thought I asked for one?"

"Eh?" He looked confused. "But in the report, it stated that you wanted two mobile suits."

Graham turned to Amina. "You didn't tamper with my request, did you...?"

"Lieutenant! I have seen the Gundam before all of you!" Amina explained. "Just like you, I have a curiosity for that mysterious mobile suit! Please, allow me to accompany you!"

Graham and Billy were taken aback with her change in attitude. Graham sighed. "Alright then. But stay behind me."

"Yes sir!"

Back in space, the Ptolemy was preparing for another mission. The containers around the ship stopped spinning, and the Gundams began to be prepped for combat.

"Now, the second mission will begin soon." Christina said. "I repeat: The second mission will begin soon."

Inside, Rachel, Origen, Allelujah, and Tieria floated through the hallway towards the Gundam deck. Rachel was the most excited. "Hey! Hey! Hey! Do you think I'll get to use my scythe again?"

"I don't know, Rachel." Allelujah had a small smile on his face. "Probably."

"I can't wait to use it again!" Rachel said. "My Phasma will kill all who dares oppose me!"

"Why is this girl in Celestial Being again?" Tieria muttered to himself.

"I heard that Tieria!" Rachel pouted.

"I meant to say it loudly." He replied flatly.

"Why you!" Rachel tried to tackle him, but floated away instead. "Wait! NOOOO!"

"Hmph." Tieria floated on faster.

"Honestly. These two love to fight, don't they?" Allelujah muttered. "What do you think of this, Origen?"

"I think it will go smoothly." He answered.

"Hmm? You think their relationship will go smoothly?" Allelujah asked.

"I was talking about the mission."

"Oh."

Sumeragi appeared from the corner. "Are you prepared for the mission, Meisters?"

Rachel was busy screaming as she continued to float through space, and Allelujah was attempting to talk to Origen about something else. Tieria was no where to be found.

She smiled. "Was I like this when I was young?"

"Ptolemaios, loading container." Feldt said. "Kyrios is being lowered to the catapult deck. Entering catapult mode."

As she continued to speak, Kyrios was being loaded onto the catapult in it's jet form.

Back on the island, Setsuna, Naoto, and Lockon ran inside the containers to their Gundams. Naoto had a little rough time in putting on his helmet, but was able to before he entered.

"Right on time! Just as planned!" Haro yelled.

"It sure is, Haro!" Naoto grinned.

The three hopped into the cockpits and put on their seatbelts, causing the cockpit entrance to close. A red light scanned their eyes. "GN System, booting up." Setsuna said.

"Set priority to Naoto Takeuchi." Naoto muttered.

Haro made a sound as Lockon placed it on a circular pod in the cockpit. "It's time to go, Haro!"

"Kyrios, in linear field!" Feldt said. "Preparations complete. The timing is up to you, Kyrios."

"I have control." Allelujah said. "Allelujah Haptism, Kyrios, beginning operation!"

Kyrios was launched out of the Ptolemy. An interesting container was attached to the orange Gundam's back thrusters.

"Next is Adunai." Feldt continued. "Entering catapult."

The Adunai Flyer appeared onto the catapult. Following it was it's Chest Flyer and Leg Flyer.

"Adunai, entering linear field. The timing is up to you."

"Right." Origen nodded, inside Adunai. "Origen Admantus, Adunai, commencing intervention!"

Adunai came out of Ptolemy, being followed by it's other two parts. Ptolemy began preparing to send out it's next to units.

The three hatches on the island opened up, revealing Exia, Dynames, and Alauda. The three mobile suits were raised up by the containers into standing position. The GN Drives lit up, causing each eye to flash.

Dynames's sniper rifle rolled to it's side, and it picked it up and placed it on it's right shoulder. Alauda's Subflight Lifter also rose to it's back and attached itself onto the suit.

"Virtue has entered the catapult." Christina continued. "Linear field active, preparations complete. The timing is up to you."

"Roger." Tieria nodded. "Tieria Erde, Virtue, launching!" He launched out as well.

"Finally, Phasma." Christina said. "Entering catapult."

Phasma stepped onto the catapult. "Here I come Earth. Get ready to meet your maker." Rachel whispered.

"You aren't going to Earth to kill, you know." Lasse interrupted. "We're an intervention organization, not a killing organization."

"Whatever." She replied.

Lasse leaned back on his chair. "Sometimes, I also wonder why she got into Celestial Being..."

"The linear field is active. The timing is up to you."

"Right!" Rachel grabbed the controls. "Rachel Apokata, Phasma, here I come!"

And the four Gundams (six units) headed out. From a distance, each looked like a shooting star.

The GN Drives on the three Gundams backs were roatating very fast. Small, green particles were being emitted as a result. Haro kept on saying, "GN Particles scattering! Scattering!"

Naoto looked down to see Wang Liu Mei and Hong Long watching them. He tried to wave at her, but she couldn't see. She did give each Gundam a smile though, causing him to blush.

"Setsuna F. Seiei, Exia, beginning the second mission."

"Lockon Stratos, Dynames, taking off!"

The two Gundams GN particles were being emitted even faster, allowing them to fly!

Naoto was so distracted by Wang Liu Mei that he saw the other two take off without him. "Hey! Wait for me!"

"Gahh!" Naoto clutched the thruster stick. "Naoto Takeuchi, Alauda, going!"

Alauda followed after. Thankfully, it was fast enough to catch up.

Wang Liu Mei giggled. "They are an interesting bunch aren't they? Celestial Being?"

"Do you believe they are good enough to fight against the world, my lady?" Hong Long asked.

"We'll see." She said. "After all, they possess the Gundam."

Back in space, the four Gundams were about to enter the atmosphere.

"GN Particles, maximum output." Tieria said. "Full output to the front."

Some of the sides and back of Virtue opened up to emit more GN Particles. It overflowed to cover it's entire body. The other three Gundams followed suit.

Allelujah breathed heavily. "I've done this several times in simulations, but..."

"I'm fine going in without you." Tieria said without regard of his feelings. "Go back if you're scared."

"Tieria. Do you really think I'm that much of a coward?" He muttered.

"Don't let him get to you."

Allelujah blinked as he saw Origen's communication screen on his. "You're a Gundam Meister chosen by Veda. You can do it."

"Origen..."

"Wow Origen. I didn't think you were a pep talker." Rachel's screen popped up too.

"I do everything for a complete mission." Origen replied, a little harshly. "We are Celestial Being after all. We can't afford a single mistake."

"I appreciate your honesty, Origen." Allelujah smiled. "Let's go!"

Human Reform League Orbiting Satellite Station

Back on the satellite station from last chapter, the alarm was going off again.

"Captain, we've detected an anomaly!" One of the soldiers said. "It's accelerating at an extremely fast rate!"

"What?" The captain gasped. "Nothing should be able to move like that!"

"They're descended on the forward side!"

The captain frowned. Then they activated the big screen. He gasped as he saw six units heading down to Earth. "Those are-"

"Gundams."

The captain turned and gasped when he saw the scar-faced man from last chapter. He quickly saluted him. "Colonel Sergei Smirnov!"

"Are you telling me those mobile suits are charging into the atmosphere by themselves?" Sergei asked. "Where's their estimated arrival point?"

"Uhh... according to the computer, they are heading to... Southern India, Ceylon Island!"

"That's our land, Colonel!" The captain cried.

"What are those people doing?" The colonel gritted his teeth. "Are they really trying to end all fighting?"

"GN Particle spread successful." Tieria said. "Proceeding as planned."

The four Gundams had passed through the atmosphere and were flying over a huge ocean. They had stopped emitting their large GN particles and started heading to the meeting spot with the other three.

Allelujah sighed in relief. "Good job, Kyrios. Now, we begin the real mission."

"Hey, I see them!" Rachel yelled.

Alauda, Exia, and Dynames were flying right over the ocean heading towards the island.

"There they are." Naoto said to the others. "Allelujah, Rachel, Origen, and Tieria."

"I've confirmed their presence." Setsuna said. "Heading to the rendezvous point and entering first phase."

White House

"Celestial Being is moving?" The president gasped. "Where?"

"Southern India, close to the former island of Sri Lanka." His secretary replied.

Chairman Chambers

"Proceed using this outline." The chairman said.

"Yes sir."

The chairman folded his hands. "That's fine. If you attack us, then we'll take your machines."

A few hours ago...

"Ceylon plunged into chaos a while ago, attempting to reduce taxes." Sumeragi explained to the seven Gundam Meisters. Setsuna, Naoto, and Lockon listened in through screen communications. "The Sinhala and Tamil people have been fighting ever since. This has been going on since the twentieth century. Celestial Being will end this ethnic conflict."

"Ethnic conflict, huh?" Setsuna muttered to himself as the seven neared the island.

Meanwhile, a plane was heading off in an unknown direction as the sun was setting.

"Former Sri Lanka?" Billy asked. The three waited in a room inside the plane, looking at the mobile suits. "It's definitely chaos out there, even after the Reform League annexed it awhile ago and supported the Tamil."

"Yeah. With the former goal of ending conflict." Graham nodded. "But, their true goal was different. They were actually going to use Ceylon as a stepping stone to assure their supply of solar energy. The Tamil just happened to be the strongest people at that time. So, why were the Reform League involved with the conflicts? They were afraid the region would fall out of anarchy."

"Tch!"

Graham and Billy turned to Amina, who stared out of the window near them. "What's wrong, Ensign?"

"It's people using people against each other again." Amina muttered. "It's just like that time in Krugis."

"Krugis?" Billy asked. "I do recall conflicts between the Republic of Krugis and the Kingdom of Azadistan in the past. Were you caught up in those?"

She nodded. "And just as how the Gundam saved me, time will repeat itself once more in Sri Lanka."

Graham paused a second before tapping the window. A screen appeared with a soldier saluting him.

"I want you to change course. Prepare the two Flags!"

"Yes sir!"

"What?" Billy gasped. "Don't be an idiot. You can't take them on!"

"Say what you will."

The Island of Ceylon was pretty big, but there was no island near it. Most of it was covered with trees with the rest being dirt and wasteland. No one would ever expect anyone to live on that island if they looked from a distance.

In the middle of the island, smoke arose from the battlefield. Green, bulky mobile suits called Tieren Ground Types were fighting against it's brown lower counterpart, the Anf. They fired their smoothbore cannons at each other, with one hit being able to take one out!

The Tieren units were winning. Most of them were spread out around the island, fighting long-range. Some units were on ships too, fighting on the ocean.

"Only 30% left in the enemy ranks!" One of the Tieren units yelled. "We'll defeat them all at this rate!"

"Captain, there's a message from headquarters!"

"What is it?"

"...Celestial Being is coming!"

"So, they're coming huh?" He muttered. "All units, stick close to the batallion!"

Meanwhile, the Gundams neared the island.

"It's just how Ms. Sumeragi predicted it would be!" Lockon said. "So, I'll leave the battleships and bases to you guys, okay?"

"That's how it is?" Allelujah raised an eyebrow.

"Alright! I'll crush them all!" Rachel yelled.

"For the sake of the mission." Origen said.

Tieria nodded. "I'll defeat them thoroughly."

"Alright then." Lockon smiled. "How about you two? Setsuna? Answer me! Hey, Naoto! What's wrong? Why aren't you guys responding!"

Setsuna stared at the screen next to Lockon. He viewed the Anfs and Tierens fighting each other, shooting at point-blank range.

"Those mobile suits..." Naoto clenched his teeth. "I remember them well..."

He thought back to the day they were attacked by the brown machines. Amina's foot was shot, and Emir couldn't save her. Or rather, all he thought of was his own survival. He didn't care about her. He just wanted to live.

To live...

"That was my sin." Naoto thought.

And then when the Anf was about to kill them, a shot from heaven had saved them all. In front of their eyes, the majestic Gundam flew, it's green wings created from GN particle overflowing flapping in the wind.

"I am Gundam."

"What did you say?"

"I. Am. Gundam."

"What are you saying?" Lockon thought he had went insane.

"Hey Soran!" Naoto called out. "I know you might have hard feelings, but-"

He was cut off as Exia flew ahead, straight for the mobile suits!

"Setsuna!" "Soran!"

"We'll leave him to you guys." Allelujah said.

"Good luck." Tieria said.

"Complete the mission." Origen said.

"Be good boys!" Rachel concluded.

Then the other four split off, leaving Alauda and Dynames. Lockon sighed. "Those guys..."

Naoto couldn't help but smile. Then he turned that smile upside down as he followed after Setsuna.

"Hey Naoto!" Lockon yelled. "What's with everyone today?"

"Bad luck! Bad luck!" Haro yelled.

"Yeah, I know." Lockon grimaced. "Anyways, let's do this mission. I'll leave the defense to you, Haro!"

And Dynames was the last unit to go. It's 'V' emblem was sent down, covering it's eyes to reveal a single scope in the form of a circle on the forehead for sniping purposes.

One of the Tieren pilots grimaced as his suit's arms was shot off. A blast from Exia's GN Vulcan had done it's job. "So, you came... Celestial Being!"

"Exia, battleground confirmed." Setsuna said. "Elimating targets."

Exia twisted behind one of the Tierens and sliced it right at the torso in half. Then it destroyed another by stomping on it, then jumped again to slice the one in front of it.

One of the Tierens appeared behind it to gun Exia down. A sudden blast destroyed it before it could do it. In the air, Alauda had two long-barreled GN Cannons mounted over it's shoulders with smoke arising from one of them.

"Leave some to us too, Soran." Naoto yelled. "We're part of Celestial Being too."

"Don't call me by that name." Setsuna yelled back. "I am Setsuna F. Seiei. I am Gundam!"

Then Exia sliced another one behind him with his GN Sword. He kept on rushing at other targets, continually slicing them in half.

"Soran..." Naoto sighed. "You have to let go of the past too, you know."

Alauda drew it's twin beam saber and activated it. Then the Subflight Lifter detached itself from the Gundam and appeared underneath Alauda so he could ride it. It continually fired blasts from it's beam cannons and beam guns, destroying a good amount of Tierens.

Suddenly, Naoto felt something rushing towards him! He quickly turned to see a cannonball being fired right at him! In order to dodge, he ascended a little, but it was too late! The cannonball crashed into Alauda, with a huge explosion!

Exia stopped to look, but he wasn't the least bit concerned.

"Did I get him?" The Tieren pilot who fired the cannon wondered from afar.

His expectations were destroyed as he saw Alauda emerging from the smoke standing on the Subflight Lifter, unharmed. The cannonball actually hit the Subflight Lifter, but at it's wings where it's beam blades were activated. They cut the cannonball in half!

"WHAAAATTTT?" The pilot gasped. "That can't- aghhhhh!"

He was cut off as a beam hit him! Several more beams made impact on the other mobile suits destroying even more!

In the sky, Dynames fired it's GN Sniper Rifle several times at the enemies. Because of his precision and accuracy, he easily hit them.

The enemies retaliated by firing their machine guns. Dynames easily dodged, but couldn't strike back. Two beams from Alauda's beam cannons put them out of their misery!

"Thanks Naoto!" Lockon yelled.

"Yeah." Naoto nodded. "Let's hurry and back up Setsuna!"

Although he really didn't need it. Exia was easily running and slicing, dodging every bullet that came at him!

Human Reform League Base of Operations

The alarm went off in the small base. Several Tierens stood guard, waiting for the Gundams to arrive. They reacted too slow though, as Kyrios and Adunai flew over them!

"Kyrios, bombing targets!" Allelujah yelled.

The pods on top of Kyrios opened up, revealing bombs. They dropped all over the base, destroying several Tierens, buildings, and peoples!

"And with that, I've turned into a killer." Allelujah breathed.

"Allow me to finish this then." Origen said. "If you can't handle it, that is."

Adunai turned around. The top of the Leg Flyer opened up, and missiles were fired from it. They destroyed even more of the mobile suits and people!

"That's okay." Allelujah replied. "That's what being in Celestial Being is all about!"

Kyrios then transformed into it's mobile suit form! It had orange armor covering it's chest and shoes, with it's black tip on it's back. It drew it's GN Submachine Gun and fired rapid beams at the enemy mobile suits!

"This is what a Gundam Meister is!" Allelujah yelled as he destroyed a final Tieren.

Meanwhile, at the ocean shore, Tierens on board of three battleships fired at Virtue and Phasma, but their machine guns hardly fazed the Gundams.

"I'll take down those two over there!" Rachel yelled, with Phasma jumping into the water!

"Wait!" Tieria called, but she went anyway. "Tch! We could save so much time with one blast!" He calmed himself down. "It doesn't matter."

Phasma swam right under a battleship, drawing the beam scythe from it's back. Suddenly, she arose from the water and activated the beam scythe, freaking out the Tieren pilots.

"WHAT?" A Tieren pilot gasped. "When did-"

He didn't finish as Phasma sliced through the battleship, killing all those who were on it! Rachel grinned. "Take tha- OWW!" She grimaced as her mobile suit was knocked back. The battleship behind her fired smoothbore cannons. Although it didn't harm the Gundam, it did shock her a little.

"Why you!" Phasma's left arm shot out and gripped the battleship with it's claw. A beam cannon opened up from it's palm and blasted the ship to small scraps! "That's what you get!"

"Get out of my way if you don't want to die, Rachel!" Tieria yelled as Virtue equipped the GN Bazooka. "Virtue, in position. With this blast, defeat is certain."

Rachel gasped and flew out of the way. Virtue's bazooka began to charge with GN particles, and unleashed them in the form of a huge beam! It crashed into the ship, disintegrating the enemy.

"Wow, Tieria..." Rachel awed.

"This is what a Gundam Meister is." Tieria told her, flatly.

Back in the wasteland, Alauda and Exia stood side-by-side after destroying most of the enemy. Unable to fight any longer, the remaining Tieren units retreated.

"Do you feel any better, Sor- Setsuna?" Naoto asked. "We had just fought and defeated the mobile suits that ruined our childhood."

"No." Setsuna replied.

"What?"

"They're coming."

"Thanks for helping us!"

Naoto gasped as he saw two Anf units heading past them. "They're close! Now we can defeat the enemy!"

"You idiots!" Lockon shouted, leveling his sniper rifle.

Naoto's eyes widened as they got closer. "These mobile suits... they destroyed us..."

Memories flooded his brain. Memories of fighting against these wretched machines with small machine guns. Memories of his friends and allies being killed in front of him by enemies that they couldn't defeat.

And now they helped them.

As soon as they passed right by them, Naoto and Setsuna reacted by slicing them in half! The two units fell and exploded. Exia withdrew it's blade as Alauda deactivated it's saber.

"You guys..." Lockon sighed. "Just what happened when you two were younger?"

"This is what being a Gundam Meister is." Setsuna said ignoring Lockon's question.

JNN Headquaters

Meanwhile, JNN's main building was busy as usual. Actually, these days were especially busy because of the Celestial Being business. Now people were trying to get any scrap of news they could get.

"Bingo, Ms. Kinue!"

A man clicked a link on the computer, revealing a picture of the old man who was spokesperson for Celestial Being. "I knew it! It's Aeolia Schenberg!"

The woman with short-brown hair wearing a blue shirt and white pants leaned down to look at his picture. The man next to her sighed. "Yeah. But this man died over two hundred years ago!"

"What did Celestial Being do?"

The pair looked to see a man rapidly typing on his computer with a telephone on his ear. "At former Sri Lanka! They attacked both sides?"

Everyone in the room gasped and got up, wanting to hear more. "They attacked both, you said?"

"Just what is Celestial Being up to?" Kinue muttered.

"You've gotta be kidding me." Sergei spoke through his earphone. "Do they actually think they can end conflict by fighting both armies?"

"We're not going to do this once." Wang Liu Mei said, putting down her cup of tea. "We'll do it as many times as needed."

"Until it's over." The orange haired man said. "Until they despise us. Of course, I have my own plans. And with him on our side, this will work out splendidly."

"That is what Gundam Meisters are for." Sumeragi muttered as she drank her alcohol. "We are tools for ending war."

The sun set as the Gundam Meisters flew over the ocean. There was only five though: Kyrios, Adunai, Phasma, Dynames, and Virtue.

"Where's Exia and Alauda?" Allelujah asked.

"They both left ahead of us." Lockon replied. "I guess the two had a lot on their mind, after their first mission."

"Why do we have childish Gundam Meisters?" Tieria sighed.

"Hey! What about me!" Rachel complained.

"You're exactly what I'm talking about."

A few miles ahead, Exia and Alauda flew in silence. Naoto didn't know what to say anymore, seeing as he was angered as well when he realized he had helped the Anfs in their battle.

Deciding to break the silence, Naoto attempted to being a conversation. "Hey Setsuna-"

Suddenly, a few screens popped up. "What is this?"

"A Union carrier?" Setsuna muttered, activating his visor. "In this level of air?"

The Union carrier opened up, with two gray machines flying out of them. They were similar to the Hellions and Enacts of before, in their jet forms.

"Flag!" Setsuna realized, drawing his GN Sword. Naoto followed suit, activating his GN Twin Beam Saber.

Both Flags switched into their mobile suits forms (again resembling the Enact) and drew their sonic blades. The blades rotated at extreme speeds, generating a plasma sword!

"Take this!" Amina yelled as her blade clashed with Naoto's.

Naoto's eyes widened. "That voice-"

Graham's Flag's plasma sword also crashed against Exia's blade. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Gundam!"

Setsuna grimaced. "Who are you?"

"I am Graham Aker. And you are the reason that I live!"

Not much story change in this chapter either. I hope you guys don't mind much right now. The next chapter won't have as much change either, which I apologize for. But if you compare this episode and this chapter, there is one small difference that you probably noticed that will effect season one's ending.

Also, I introduced a new character, Francesca. Just like Saji and Louise, she won't make much of a difference in story until much, much later. Other new characters will be introduced in probably the chapter after next. After all, with new protagonists come new antagonists.

Anyways, what did you think about the new Meisters' interactions? Tieria and Rachel fight a lot, Origen acts somewhat as Allelujah's mentor, and Setsuna and Naoto have a past "friendship." Lockon slightly acts as the two's big brother as well. I plan to divulge on the Meisters' relationships more as the story deepens. You'll see a lot more interaction that didn't happen in the anime in the future. They barely interacted much in the first season anyway.

That's about it. Hoped you enjoy and I hope you review.
