Ch. 3 Changing World

"This voice..." Naoto's eyes widened. "It can't be!"

"Damned Gundam!" Amina roared, putting more force to her plasma sword! "You were my saviour! And now you're my enemy!"

Her Flag pushed Alauda back. Then it drew it's linear rifle and fired three electromagnetically-accelerated rounds at her enemy. He dodged easily, then barely dodged another slash. He quickly kicked her down then fired one of his beam cannons at the saber, destroying it!

Graham wasn't paying attention at all. He was more inclined to the Gundam in front of him, Exia. As they clashed once more, he spoke. "My my. To encounter you here is if to believe in fate. Or maybe I found you because of your glowing specks of light? Although it's probably choice number two!"

Setsuna growled, slicing through the plasma sword. He pushed the Flag away, knocking him against Alauda!

"Tch!" Naoto flew away as quickly as he could, as Amina's Flag fired another round.

"I won't let you attack Lieutenant!" She continually fired, all bullets missing. As soon as she ran out of ammo, she threw the rifle at Exia, stunning it!

"Thanks Ensign!" Graham called. "But don't interfere with my fight!"

Graham's Flag tackled Exia into the ocean, then he flew up. Exia easily arose, not being affected by water. The Flag turned around to fire from it's linear rifle, but Exia blocked with it's shield.

Alauda sliced off Amina's Flag's two legs. Not being affected in the slightest, she turned around and grabbed Alauda's shoulder with it's remaining arm. Then she fired it's machine gun mounted on the cockpit drum.

"I won't give up here!" Amina yelled.

"I knew it..." Naoto gasped. "It's you! Amina Halabi! It's you, right?"

Amina froze. "Your voice... Emir...?"

"Amina! What are you doing piloting a Flag?" Naoto questioned.

"...What?" Amina's eyes narrowed. "I should ask you the same thing. Why are you piloting a Gundam? Why are you fighting against the world!"

A sudden bullet seperated the two. Graham's Flag fired from his linear rifle. Then it was destroyed by Exia's GN Sword.

Exia attempted to cut the Flag in half, but he missed by an inch. The Flag grabbed it's enemy's head in an attempt to rip it off, but Exia drew a beam saber and sliced off it's arm!

"Guhhhh!" Graham grimaced. "G- Get out of here, Ensign!"

"Lieutenant!" Amina gasped. Suddenly, something sliced her Flag's remaining arm off. The weapon rapidly spun and returned to Alauda, in the form of a GN Boomerang.

"Emir! You bastard!" Amina roared, then she retreated.

"Amina..."

Graham's Flag was forced to retreat as well. Unlike Amina, he was slightly more satisfied. He now understood the strengths of the Gundam.

Amina, on the other hand, found out that her childhood friend had joined the armed intervening organization, Celestial Being.

The sun was almost all gone, and night was beginning to set. Twas a peaceful sunset. Even the Union Carrier, carrying two dejected pilots, was at peace.

"You two were very reckless out there, you know." Billy laughed as they sat in the viewing room.

"Almost every armament, and the legs and arms were destroyed." Amina sighed. "I didn't even cause any scratch of damage to the Gundam."

"You fared well, Ensign." Graham smiled. "I didn't do any damage either."

"Don't worry you two." Billy said. "We got some good data because of your fights, and we can use your wrecked parts to find out more about the Gundam's weapons. Although Amina's unit was ruined, it's repairable."

"That Gundam who defeated me." Amina began. "I was able to speak to that pilot."

"Really?"

"And not only that. I know that pilot."

"What...?" Graham gasped. "You know who the pilot of the Gundam is?"

"Yes. His name is Emir Touma. And he was part of the organization I was involved in before I joined the Union Army." She explained. "He's a rough young man, always getting into trouble. Him, me, and my friend Soran used to do missions for our organization together."

"What happened to him?" Billy asked.

"Soran and Emir. They left me behind when I was injured during a mission." Her eyes narrowed at the memory. "Then, the Gundam saved me. I journeyed several miles with a hurt ankle. Some things happened, and here I am now."

"Wow." Graham whistled. "So, do you know any weaknesses of the pilot?"

She shook her head. "Emir wasn't a kind of weak man. I guess maybe that's why he's in Celestial Being? But he did act a little rough and childish in that mobile suit."

"Yeah. The other Gundam pilot was inexperienced as well. I'm pretty sure he's around your age, Ensign." Graham said. "The jerky way he piloted his mobile suit is proof enough for me."

"You don't seem disappointed for losing to him, though." Billy smiled.

A small alarm went off. The intercom activated. "We've lost the Gundam's signal."

Graham shrugged. "Not like we could do anything, anyway."

"That Flag... Who was in it?" Setsuna wondered.

"Setsuna..." Naoto began. "The person in that mobile suit I fought... I think it was Amina."

"Hmmm?" He whisked his eye toward him. "Amina Halabi?"

"Yeah. Her voice sounded the same, and she recognized my voice as well." Naoto explained. "I know it's her."

"It doesn't matter then." Setsuna said. "She's on the enemy's side. If we meet her again, we have to kill her."

"Setsuna. That's easier said than done." Naoto said. "Could you kill a friend?"

"I don't have friends."

JNN HQ

The news building was booming as usual, trying to find some sort of news on Celestial Being. Ever since their attack on former Sri Lanka, everyone has realized that they are serious about ending war. Yet no one could find any real news on anything about them.

Except one woman.

Kinue Crossroad sat at her computer, drinking a cup of coffee. She clicked a few pictures to view an old, bald man wearing a suit shaking hands with someone else. "Aeolia Schenberg, huh? In the late 21st century, he was one of the primary inventors of solar powered generating systems."

"He's well known, yet most people don't talk about him." She thought. "Is this man really the founder of Celestial Being? He's both smart and wealthy. But how could a man who died two hundred years ago live today?"

Human Reform League Orbital Elevator

The elevator's station wasn't as busy as the JNN HQ. No one was in much of a hurry that day. Yet, there would be a huge news scandal if they found out that the Gundam Meisters stood around a table.

Each Meister wore civilian clothing. Lockon wore a red vest over a green shirt and blue jeans. Allelujah wore a tight blue shirt and pants. Tieria wore a pink, loose shirt with white pants with his signature glasses. Naoto wore a blue long-sleeve with darker blue jeans. And Origen wore a brown turtleneck with khakis.

The sliding door opened. Setsuna and Rachel entered the building. He wore a white long-sleeve with a red scarf with black pants. She wore a pink tank top and blue jeans underneath a blue skirt.

"Wow. I'm not very surprised that Rachel was gone for a bit, but Setsuna is a shocker." Lockon grinned. "You two didn't do any together, did you?"

"Of course not." Setsuna flatly responded.

"Where were you then?" Naoto asked.

"I was writing a report for Veda." He replied.

"And I was shopping for-"

"I'll read it later."

"Let me read it too, to make sure it was good enough for Veda." Origen said.

"Okay."

"Hey! Don't you want to listen to what I-"

"No."

And then there was silence. Rachel was still stunned from being cut off.

Lockon broke the silence. "Well, alright! Let's do it! Tieria, Rachel, we'll leave things up to you in space. The rest of us will complete the second mission."

"I have the orders, but I don't know about this." Tieria pulled out a piece of paper. "And especially with her, I'm not confident."

"I'll do really good Tieria! Just watch me!" Rachel fist-pumped to the air. "I'll rip through everyone with my G-"

Tieria slammed his hand on her mouth. Her voice muffled as Tieria continued. "With her, this mission will be a failure. At best, perhaps 20% chance of success."

"MMM! MM MMMm MMMHHHHH!" She mmmed.

A waiter walked up to the table with a platter in hand, putting two cups of milk in front of Setsuna and Naoto. "Milk?"

"You two need to grow up." Lockon smiled.

"Say that to her too." Tieria sighed.

"But do you think this will work?" Allelujah asked. "Using the Orbital Elevator to get back to space? What if they discover them?"

Before Lockon could speak, Origen said, "We're hiding them under construction materials. The weight should be the same, so they shouldn't check them. Especially not here."

Tieria and Rachel heard the bell for their train. They walked towards the terminal, then took one glance back. Or rather, Tieria glanced. Rachel hopped up and down, yelling "GOOD BYE!"

"If we had a weakness, it would be that the Ptolemaios isn't a combat-oriented ship and that it needs the Gundams to protect it." Allelujah muttered. "In that end, we need to use to solar furnaces to-"

Setsuna quickly stopped him. "Don't leak our information like that."

"Sorry."

"HEAVEN'S PILLAR EXPRESS, FLIGHT 227, LEAVING ONE TIME." The intercom spoke.

In the train, Tieria and Rachel sat in a rented room for the two of them only. They got the room specifically because of intel that it's cameras or hearing devices weren't working. She fiddled her thumbs, not knowing what to say to the serious Tieria.

"So, as long as we're here, why don't you tell me about yourself Tieria." Rachel broke the silence. "Do you have any hobbies? Any goals in life? Any-"

"All I do is for the sake of Celestial Being and Veda." Tieria responded. "Veda's will is my will."

"Isn't that boring?" Rachel's eyes got bigger. "What happens when Celestial Being's missions are over? What will you do?"

"Our missions won't be over for a long time." Tieria said. "We must fight with the Gundams to change the world."

"You didn't answer my question."

"Do I have to?"

"Mohhhh!" Rachel jumped on top of Tieria, shocking him. "You're so boring, Tieria!"

"Wha- Get off of me, you child!"

"No! Tell me about yourself!"

"Get off!" Tieria shook her off and threw her at the other chair.

"OWWW!" She rubbed her head. "Tieria! You don't know how to treat a girl!"

"Hmph!" Tieria turned. "In my eyes, you are a Gundam Meister only. Gender is irrelevant."

She sighed and turned. "Fine. I'll tell you about me instead."

"I don't want to listen-"

"I was born in Wales, to my mom and dad." She explained. "I had a little sister, but something happened between my parents and they seperated, seperating us as well. I don't know what happened to her afterwards. Anyways, I was never popular with the kids. They always thought I was wierd, playing with a sickle in my dad's farm. Then one day, my dad died of a strange illness. I left home and wandered around Great Britain, trying to find a new home. Eventually, someone named Grave Violento approached me and asked if I wanted to change the world."

"Grave... Violento." Tieria's eyes narrowed.

"And, here I am!" Her voice went back to it's peppy self. "So, what did you think?"

"It was... interesting..." He replied.

"See! You did like it!" She hopped up and down, then slipped as the train hit a bump. "Ouch! Ohh... that hurt. Anyways, now it's your turn!"

"I don't want to."

She got up and sat, smiling. "See Tieria. If you smile, then you'll make everyone around you smile too. I mean, I don't think anyone's ever seen you smile."

"I smile when there's something to smile about." Tieria responded. "Nothing more."

"I'm sure you have a great smile!" She jumped at Tieria again! As he attempted to push her off, she grabbed his cheeks and forced them upward. "See! You have an amazing smile! Now keep it that way!"

"Ge-khhh! Ghet off o me!" He yelled, still being forced to smile.

"NO! You need to smile more!"

She was pushed off anyway. Tieria scowled, then turned.

But she smiled. "If you smiled more naturally Tieria, you would be an amazing guy."

Back on Earth, the remaining five Meisters walked out of the building. Lockon stretched. "Well then, let's rest!"

"I suppose we all need a break." Allelujah said.

Origen was silent.

"Yeah. I'm gonna go check on my apartment reservations." Naoto said. "Are you too, Setsuna?"

He didn't speak.

Origen glanced to his side. He saw several soldiers standing at rest, as if they were waiting for someone. "HRL Soldiers, huh?"

At the time they left, Colonel Sergei Smirnov stepped out of the building. The soldiers immediately saluted him, with the front soldier stepping forward. "We've been waiting, Colonel! How was space?"

"It was a very mystifying experience." He responded.

"I see. Well then, command is waiting for you. Please allow me to-"

But before the soldier could carry Sergei's bag, he stopped him. "Before that, I want to look at Ceylon."

"But-"

"I'm the kind of man that believes what he sees." He responded. "The command will have to wait."

"Yes sir!"

Union Mobile Suit Warehouse and Development Headquarters (MSVAD)

Back in the Union's HQ, Billy, Graham, and Amina had just arrived and was reporting to their superiors. Suddenly, they were reported to the development HQ for some strange reason they didn't know.

The man on the desk in front of them looked at their report. "The AEU's mobile suits being beaten is no surprise, but things have gotten really crazy since then."

"Ensign Halabi and I fought two of the Gundams, but both were overwhelming." Graham explained.

"I believe with further research, we can defeat them." Billy added.

"The higher-ups think so too." The man said, taking out three folders and placing them on the desk. Each had the words MSVAD, with the Union's logo. "Since the three of you had contact with the Gundams, you are now receiving a change of order.

"Anti-Gundam Task Force?" Graham read.

"It's a new division. It was formally made when I handed you those papers." He explained.

"Professor Ralph Eifman...?" Billy read. "That's the chief of engineering! He's in charge?"

"That's how important this division is." The man said. "This is an urgent matter."

"Even me?" Amina asked. "I'm just a new ensign, after all."

"Yes, but you fought against the Gundam and lived to tell the tale." He said. "You're more than qualified."

"Sir!" The three saluted. "Lieutenant Graham Aker, Ensign Amina Halabi, and Intelligence Officer Billy Katagiri, Anti-Gundam Task Force positions accepted!"

The three eventually walked out in the hallway.

Amina sighed. "I didn't expect this to happen."

"Did you not, really?" Billy smiled. "I knew this was bound to happen in the end."

"I feel as if I just witnessed destiny." Graham said.

In the economic zone of Tokyo, several students including Saji, Louise, and Francesca were sitting in class. Louise crafted an origami while the teacher babbled on and on, and Francesca busily texted on her phone.

Afterwards, the three met in the cafe.

Saji sighed. "Another history report? I'm in the engineering department, so why do I have to take this course?"

"Now, the world needs caretakers of the Orbital Elevator and colony builders." Louise began to say from memory, causing Francesca to giggle. "In that case, we need to train people to have a better sense of pluralism and cultural intercourse. That's what they said at orientation."

"I remember that." Francesca giggled. "I fell asleep too! Besides, that's the reason that me and Louise could study abroad."

"I guess that's a good thing." He said.

"Really?"

"Hmm?"

"Oooh." Francesca quickly turned around. Saji frowned.

Louise looked down into her coffee. "Why don't you study abroad too next year."

"Huh? What's wrong?" He looked up.

"Hey Saji. Do you think about the future sometimes?"

"Sort of."

"Am I in it?"

"...Sort of..."

She slammed her hands on the table, with Saji gasping and Francesca unable to contain her laughter. She left in a fury.

"Wait! Louise!"

"Hurry up and chase him, Romeo!" Francesca encourage him.

"Huh? Uh... yeah!" And he did, with everyone watching him.

Meanwhile, in a fancy hotel's restaurant, Wang Liu Mei wore a purple dress and drank an orange soda from a cup and straw. She sat alone, with a single chair in front of her, as if she was waiting for someone.

That someone did arrive. He had long orange hair, wearing an orange suit. He was one of Celestial Being's observers from the shadows, named Alejandro Corner.

He sat down. "A soft drink? You know this restaurant has some magnificent cocktails?"

"I'm underage, you know."

"Well, I apologize." He bowed. When the waiter came, he ordered, "The usual."

As he left, Wang Liu Mei whispered, "The next mission will begin soon. If you've already seen it, then I can easily explain the three parts of the mission."

"Oh, that sounds interesting." Alejandro crossed his legs. "Please break it down for me."

At the bar table, Hong Long sat listening to the two's conversation. Suddenly, a voice pierced his listening. "Eavesdropping, huh?"

He gasped, then narrowed his eyes at the man in front of him. He had short green hair, wearing some strange white garments. He was Alejandro's personal assistant, Ribbons Almark.

Ceylon Island, Human Reform League Base Remains

The damage that Kyrios had done to the base was extensive, but the base managed to make some quick repairs. They had kept the remains of the machines for researching the power of the Gundams' weapons. One of the items they had kept was the pods that Kyrios dropped in the forest, so he could attack more accurately.

Sergei stared up at the pod. "So, this is it huh?"

"Yes sir." The soldier beside him said. Then he called from one of the maintenance workers.

"Please explain to Colonel Smirnov what you know."

"Yes sir!" He turned back to the pod. "This is one of the containers the Gundam kept it's bombing equipment. It's reinforced with e-carbon and is very advanced, but it's nothing new."

"What about the missiles?"

"Sir, judging by the pods, we believe they are 300 kiloton types." He explained. "Also because of it's weight, no mobile suit we know of could carry this."

"Well, isn't this interesting." Sergei closed his eyes.

Back at MSVAD, the trio stood at a platform next to the area where Graham's Flag was kept. Amina's unarmed Flag also sat next to it, looking damaged beyond repair.

"It's amazing you two were able to return with these Flags." Billy said as he typed the maintenance of Graham's Flag. "The Gundam's mobility is at least six times better than this mobile suit, after all.

"It's scary strong, but it's speed..."

Billy interrupted his friend. "I've researched the battle data. And from what I've read, it's power comes from-"

"It's light, right?" Amina said.

"Yes sir." The soldier replied to Colonel Smirnov. "Each Gundam emits bright particles on it's back."

"I suppose I can testify to that." Sergei looked away. "And that light's probably the reason radars and communications are disabled."

"Because of their ability to disactivate radars, it makes them specialized suits for stealth operations." Amina explained. "Not that they need it. The Gundams are very powerful on their own."

"Their applications in weapon systems is fearsome as well, young lady."

They turned to the floor to see an old man with long white hair with a cane limp towards them.

"You're Professor Ralph Eifman, right?" Billy asked.

"That man sure is terrible." Eifman muttered to himself. "Holding in technology advanced for it's time. Even our time."

"Aeolia Schenberg?" Sergei asked.

"He's the one who was on screen for the Celestial Being message." The solider explained.

"I know his name. He's the one who invented the solar energy system, correct?"

"Right now, our intelligence agencies are pursuing any information about him correlating to the Gundams." The soldier said.

"Although, we probably won't find out much about him through that." Sergei folded his arms. "And they probably don't mind showing us these things as well." He said, referring to the bombing pod.

"If possible, I'd like to catch a Gundam." Eifman said.

"I would too." Graham agreed. "Therefore, I believe my Flag should be upgraded for that purpose."

"What about pilot strain?"

"Screw that." Billy and Amina were shocked at his language. "But I'd like the job done in a week."

Eifman produced a small smile. "You're a very unreasonable person, aren't you."

"How could I steal a Gundam if I wasn't?"

"Sir. Please upgrade my Flag as well." Amina suddenly said. "I happen to know one of the Gundam pilots myself, so-"

"Hmm?" Eifman was surprised. "You know one of the Gundam pilots."

"Uh. Yes, from childhood." She responded. "I also fought against him as Lieutenant fought another one."

"Yes, I see." He frowned upon seeing Amina's ruined Flag. "Alright then. I'll complete these two mobile suits in one weeks time."

"Thank you sir!"

Suddenly, Graham's cellphone rang. "Hello?... What? The Gundams have moved out?"

"Where?" Sergei demanded.

"Yes sir!" The messenger saluted him. "Well... they're in two places..."

"Two?"

"So, they're attacking simultaneously?" Sergei said.

"Yes! One area is at South Africa, in the disputed mineral resource area."

South Africa, Mineral Resource Sit Trench Area, Night

Dynames fired rather trudgishly at the enemy mobile suits, who were hardly putting up a fight. He stood at the top of the cliff shooting with his GN Beam Pistol at the enemies. Each one went down with one hit, so he fired at their weapons instead, but was still knocked down.

"This is so boring..." Lockon groaned. "Everyone here is a weakling."

He shot down another one. "Just throw down your weapons and run away..."

He fired another beam. And another beam. And the GN Beam Pistol isn't that strong either. Each blast shot down the target with ease. And another... and another...

"Sniping the targets..." Lockon muttered.

He got so bored that he began missing. For some reason, this caused the suits to throw down their weapons and run for their lives.

"They're running! Running!" Haro exclaimed.

"Finally..." He sighed with relief.

Graham ran to his Flag and grabbed the line meant to pull him into the cockpit.

"Where do you think you're going?" Eifman asked.

"I have to go!" Graham exclaimed. "Two of them is in Taribia! I can get to them in time!"

"If there's anything I hate, it's narcotics (drugs)." Eifman said. "And if their goal is to destroy the drug fields, then I'll gladly allow them to intervene."

"Drugs?"

"They're trying to destroy any source of war they can find."

South America, Taribian Airspace

Kyrios and Adunai flew over the drug fields of Taribia. Kyrios had another bomb pod attached to it's back, and Adunai formed into it's mobile suit form in case of combat.

"It's been ten minutes since entering the designated airspace." Allelujah stated. "Now, Kyrios will complete the mission."

The pods opened up, dropping several tens of bombs onto the drug field, destroying them and creating a field of fire instead. A gigantic trail of smoke was left. The people in the nearby village gasped in both shock, horror, and awe.

"97% of the field was destroyed." Allelujah began. "Mission com-"

"Not yet, Allelujah." Origen interrupted him. "We still have a three percent left."

"But it's only-"

"We must sever any source of war left, completely." He stated, rather harshly. "We must not fail."

Adunai turned and pointed it's GN Cannon-Rifle at the field. "We must annihilate everything!" And he fired, making more explosions and more flames to engulf the area. It was so great, that it spread over the forest!

"Origen, I think that's too much-"

"Nothing is too much for the sake of the mission." Origen said.

"Two more is heading back to Ceylon?" Sergei asked.

"Yes sir! They're heading to the seventh barracks!"

He thought for a few seconds, before saying, "Is there a Tieren I can use?"

"Wait, sir! Are you going alone?"

"Didn't I tell you? I only believe what I see."

At the 7th barracks, two Tierens were cut down by Exia and Alauda. Exia sliced it's torso in half with it's GN Sword, and Alauda easily slashed through two just by ramming them with each end of the GN Twin Beam Saber.

"They just destroyed three units!" A soldier gasped. "These Gundams are monsters!"

"Alauda, continuing armed intervention." Naoto announced.

"Eliminating the targets." Setsuna finished.

Both of the solar furnaces on their backs began to rotate, emitting the light that they are powered with. They began to fly towards the remaining two Tierens, who fired for their lives.

Exia dodged and ducked underneath one Tieren's rifle and slashed it from the back. Alauda didn't even make contact with the second, releasing it's Subflight Lifter at it and slicing it down with it's GN Beam Blades.

"That's it for the first-" Naoto began, but was but off by some small beeps.

Suddenly, several blasts crashed into the ground near the two Gundams. They turned and blocked the remaining shots with their shields.

"That's a Tieren High Mobility Type!" Naoto gasped.

It was very similar to it's ground counterpart, except colored brown like the Anfs and it had a jagged wing on each side. It slowly turned around to view the two mobile suits. Inside of it, Sergei muttered, "So those are Gundams..."

Exia took a step forward. "Don't interrupt me."

"What? Why?"

The Tieren flew down lightly, using it's thrusters to gently descend. It folded it's wings on it's back, then dropped the rifle attached to it's right forearm. It then drew it's carbon blade from behind it's waist.

"He wants to test me." He responded.

"And what makes you think it's you he wants to-" But Setsuna paid no attention.

"Show me it..." Sergei muttered. "The power to end war!"

The Tieren fired it's thrusters at maximum output, rushing at the Gundam. Exia quickly ducked and sliced off the arm carrying the carbon blade.

But Sergei wasn't phased. Instead, he became more excited by this battle. "Then let's see how you fare in the dark!"

Exia turned to be grabbed by the head with the Tieren's remaining arm! It was held in the air as the Tieren attempted to pull off it's head. And since vision comes from the head, Setsuna was blinded!

"Setsuna-"

"Don't interrupt!" Setsuna yelled.

Exia tried to slice it's arm off with his GN Sword, but it did nothing, not even a scratch.

Sergei scoffed. "Is that it? You can't beat me like that. Now, I'll rip off this head!"

"I won't let you!" Exia immediately lifted it's right arm and grabbed the beam saber behind it's shoulder, activating it and slicing off the Tieren's arm!

"Aghhhh!" Sergei yelled.

Still blinded because the hand still grippped Exia's head, Setsuna roared as he blindly sliced through the Tieren. Interestingly, he didn't make contact with the pilot, and Naoto didn't notice either. All he was satisfied with was seeing the smoke arising from the Tieren.

Exia yanked the arm off it's head. And inside, Setsuna said, "Don't touch me."

Back in space, two pods floated down a line of satellites near the Orbital Elevator. They both opened up, and Virtue and Phasma came out of it, flying towards their mothership.

"I see it, Tieria!" Rachel exclaimed.

"Approaching the rendezvous point." Tieria said.

"Virtue, Phasma sighted." Christina communicated.

"Preparing docking sequence." Feldt added. "Opening container."

The top container opened up, with virtual green lines coming out of it like a road.

"Alright, I'm linking up with the green lines!" Rachel announced. "And I'm coming into the ship."

Tieria said something similar.

The two were eventually placed into seperate containers. The Gundams were laid on their backs as they were sent in, locking into place with the containers. They were then linked into Ptolemaios, being charged with GN Particles.

"Space is so much better..." Tieria sighed.

Suddenly, a screen of Sumeragi popped up on both mobile suits. "Nice job." She said.

"It sure was a great first time!" Rachel said excitedly.

"How did the mission turn out?"

"It was completely successful." Sumeragi said. "Why don't you come in and have a drink?"

"...I have to do maintenance."

"Spoilsport."

"I'll drink with you!"

"I don't think that's a good idea, Rachel."

"Why?"

"Because you act drunk even when you aren't!"

"...You really are a spoilsport, Tieria."

The sun was setting in Tokyo's economic zone. People were retiring back to their homes from work around this time.

Saji and Francesca are next-door neighbors. Francesca lives by herself, preparing to study abroad. Saji lives with his older sister, Kinue, who works as a newswoman in JNN news.

As they both started to open their doors, they noticed two new faces. Setsuna on Saji's left, and Naoto on Francesca's right.

"Oh, are you guys our neighbors?" Saji asked.

Naoto turned and saw Saji first. But his gaze eventually shifted to Francesca, who he thought was very beautiful. "Uhh... yeah..."

She caught that shy gaze and played on it. "Well, aren't you a cute guy."

"I'm... uh... cute...?" Naoto stuttered.

"You fall in love too much." Setsuna said as he opened his door.

"Wait! I'm Saji Crossroad! What are your guys' names?"

"Uh... I'm Naoto Takeuchi." Naoto finally spluttered. Francesca's winking didn't help.

Setsuna wasn't at all fazed at the two new strangers. "Setsuna F. Seiei."

"Takeuchi and Seiei, huh? Those are uncommon names." Saji said.

"My name is Francesca Apokata! Nice to meet you!"

Setsuna and Naoto both froze at her surname. It was the same last name as Rachel Apokata too.

"Coincidence." Setsuna stated, shutting the door behind him.

"Apokata...?" Naoto muttered. "Um... do you, by chance, have any siblings?"

"Well, I do have an older sister, but I didn't really know her." Francesca tilted her head. "After our parents divorced, I lived with my mom when I was very little. So I don't know if she's still alive today. Why? Do you know her?"

"Uhh... probably not. Wrong person!" Naoto tried to dismiss the thought.

"Well anyways, it's nice to meet you." Saji said and entered his room.

Naoto attempted to wave at Francesca goodbye, but she quickly came at him and pecked him on his cheek. "Whaaaa-"

"I meant it when I said you were cute, by the way." She winked and ran into her room.

"Ehhh...?" Naoto shook his head in shock and entered his room.

The living room was nice. It was furnished with two couches, a dining table, and a TV (although you had to pay for channels). Naoto payed for only one: the news channel.

He turned on the TV and gasped. "Wow. Celestial Being is really leaving it's mark on the world."

"Today in Ireland, the terrorist organization IRA has publicly declared disarmament." The newslady said on the JNN news. "After fighting for over 400 years, the two factions have finally decided on a peace treaty."

"Hmmm...?" Naoto laid back with a small smile. "This is it. We're changing it."

"We're changing the world."

A little different than the actual episode, but not by much. There's a lot of interaction between Rachel and Tieria though. Plus, Rachel and Francesca have the same last name! Coincidence? Probably not. Oh, and Francesca might be falling for Naoto? Could happen. I hope I'm not putting too much focus on the OCs though.

And we have some slight interaction between Origen and Allelujah. Origen being the strict mentor of Allelujah in some ways. He actually seems harsher than Tieria. And that's pretty scary.

And Emir and Amina clash, with Soran not caring if he has to kill her? Now that's a shocker, huh? I'm trying to keep the first season Setsuna in character, so that's why he's so cold. But anyways, we'll see a lot of clashing between the three friends in the future.

Lots of possible new friendships, and lots of possible new romances. Who knows what'll happen next? Oh wait. I do. Next chapter, we introduce the Human Reform League's Star Division led by Sergei Smirnov! They are a group of superhuman, bio-engineered girls for the purpose of fighting the evil Gundams and saving the world! And no, I'm not kidding.
