Three days later, the Excalibur's hangers were alive with activity, but they weren't going into another battle. Instead, all of the pilots were waiting to undergo mandatory training, in order to keep their piloting skills fresh.
As he walked into the hanger a few moment later, Kira Yamato glared heatedly at his five lovers. After not allowing him to join in on their fun in the Inner Sanctum three days ago, he had no intention of going easy on them.
The amethyst-eyed man remained silent as he walked over to the Divinity Gundam, grabbed the zipline and let it carry him up to the cockpit.
"Divinity, Akatsuki, Destiny, Impulse, Infinite Justice afnd Strike Freedom." The computer spoke. "Please proceed to the catapults."
Before being moved to the centerline catapult, the Divinity had been loaded with as many weapons as it could possibly carry. In addition to its standard weapons the angelic machine now possessed a pair of twin buster rifles on its back, a pair of beam rifles on its hips. In addition to the hand-carried weapons, the Divinity also sported a few weapons from the original Strike Gundam, specifically the combo-weapons pod from the Launcher Striker Pack on its left shoulder, as well as the forearm-mounted rocket anchor from the Sword Striker Pack, on its left forearm. Even with all of these optional armaments, the Divinity Gundam was still fully capable of transforming into its flight mode, although it could not utilize its mobile armor attack mode, nor its "Scylla" 580mm high energy beam cannon without shedding the Striker Packs.
The six machines quickly proceeded to their desiginated launch catapults and locked themselves into launch position.
"Kira Yamato, Divinity. Launching!"
"Cagalli Yula Athha, Akatsuki. Taking off!"
"Hope Yamato, Destiny. Launching!"
"Mayu Asuka, Impulse. Heading out!"
"Lacus Clyne, Infinite Justice. Taking off!"
"Murrue Ramius, Strike Freedom. Heading out!"
The six machines streaked from the Excalibur, but to the surprise of everyone, as soon as the Divinity had cleared the catapult, it veered towards the Strike Freedom, lashing out with the beam cannon on its right palm. To Kira's annoyance, the Strike Freedom ignited its Wings of Light and dodged to the left, leaving an army of afterimages swirling through the sky.
Murrue effortlessly whirled around the Divinity, drawing the two beam daggers stored in the Strike Freedom's legs as she manuvered, and hurling them at the angelic machine with expert precision. Kira yelped in surprise as the daggers streaked by him, one grazing the Divinity's cheek while the other lodged itself in the left elbow joint. Kira snarled as he freed the beam rifles from his machine's hips, combined them into a single rifle and fired back, but the Strike Freedom dodged the shots and landed on the end of the barrel, before raising a glowing beam sword in its right hand and slicing the weapon in two.
"No more games!" Kira roared as he dropped the weapon, which exploded a few short seconds later. The Divinity then freed one of its twin barrel buster rifles, separating the massive gun and unleashing rapid-fire full-power blasts. Murrue's eyes widened as a blindingly bright column of yellow energy surrounded her machine.
Meanwhile, the Infinite Justice was dueling with the Akatsuki. "Lacus!" Cagalli suddenly cried, as she saw the beam blast streaking towards them. The Infinite Justice broke the clash and turned an instant before being engulfed by a huge column of yellow energy from the Divinity's buster rifle.
"What was that!" Hope Yamato yelled within the cockpit of the Destiny, even as the Akatsuki and Infinite Justice suddenly vanished within a pair of massive fireballs. Her question was answered an instant later, as the same column of energy which had obliterated both the Infinite Justice and the Akatsuki, enveloped her machine as well. Hope screamed in terror as the Destiny Gundam exploded around her.
Mayu froze in terror as the Divinity turned to face her. The angelic machine was no longer using Trans Am, but the Impulse was no match for the Divinity, and Mayu knew it.
Kira simply smirked as ten of his DRAGOON units suddenly dropped from the Divinity's wings, ignited their engines and swarmed around the Impulse, pummeling it with beam blasts. Mayu glanced down a a warning blared, and when she looked up again, the Divinity had vanished.
Mayu screamed as the angelic machine reappeared an instant later, now wielding a beam saber in each hand. The Impulse barely managed to dodge the first slash, quickly backing away from the Divinity. Mayu watched in awe and horror as Divinity's remaining DRAGOON units swung to the end of the machine's wings, and a field of rainbow colored energy spanned between each wing, as the Divinity's eyes turned purple, flashing.
Inside the cockpit, Kira's pupils seperated into a trio of close-knit mini-pupils, his opals turning multicolor at the edges, extending the spectrum of his vision. He growled slightly as he combined his beam sabers and flew straight through the Impulse, slicing the machine cleanly in half from crown to crotch.
Mayu's eyes widened in terror as the face of the Divinity Gundam suddenly filled her monitors. An instant later, she screamed in unimaginable pain as she felt the searing heat of the beam blade as it passed through her body, cleaving her in half. Mercifully, her Gundam exploded into a massive fireball less than a second later.
"Training complete." The computer's voice announced, even as the cockpit hatches of the six Gundams opened simultaneously and the pilots, each clad in a custom flightsuit, lowered themselves to the floor. "Winner: Kira Yamato, piloting the CB-X60D Divinity Gundam. First blood: Murrue Ramius, piloting the GN-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam. Honorable mention: Cagalli Yula Athha, piloting the ORB-01 Akatsuki Gundam. Coward: Mayu Asuka, piloting the ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam."
Mayu hung her head, tears slipping from her eyes. "I'm not cut out to be a pilot." The young woman sniffled before turning toward the door and running out of the holodeck.
"What a pathetic sight you five are!" Kira roared ten minutes later, as he sat in one of the Excalibur's many briefing rooms, surrounded by his five lovers. All six of them still clad in ther flight suits. "Now stop this nonsense and answer! Why could none of you beat me!"
"Nobody is ever born into this world as a soldier." Murrue sighed.
"I know that!" Kira spat back. "But all of you have been given more than enough training to hold your own against me!"
"That's not true of all of us, Kira." Hope replied. "Mayu hasn't yet undergone the advanced training which the rest of us have, so it's only normal that she froze and got taken out rather quickly."
"That is not the point!" Kira yelled, slamming his palm down on the table. "Even if Mayu hasn't received the more advanced training which the rest of you have, she shouldn't have frozen like she did!"
"Damnit, Kira!" Cagalli finally exploded. "Shut up! We may be Gods, but even now we're not perfect! We still make mistakes!"
"Celestial Being is the strongest military force ever created! We are destined to be the strongest, to go the farthest, to climb the highest!" Kira smirked. "Others may compete against us, some may envy us, some may even hate us, but in the end, we will devour any and all challengers!"
"Kira..." Murrue shivered. "We are dedicated to eliminating conflict, not simply obliterating everything in our path!"
"I am the dream of humanity, the Ultimate Coordinator." Kira scoffed glancing predatorily around the room. "I can do as I see fit."
Finally, Kira's amethyst eyes fell on Mayu Asuka. "And I think I'll start by having my way with the newest addition to our harem." Before Kira could stand up and begin moving towards Mayu, however, the young beauty began to softly moan.
"H-Ho-Hope." Mayu quietly moaned. "I can feel the baby leeches squirming inside my womb."
Fortunately for Mayu only Hope had heard her, and Hope nodded towards her young lover and replied. "That means you're about to give birth, Mayu."
"It feels so good." Mayu moaned, as the feeling of the leeches squirmring within her steadily grew stronger and continued to arouse her.
"Just relax." Hope smiled, reaching over and gently running a hand through Mayu's silky, ankle-length brunette tresses.
Kira instantly sensed the young woman's rapidly glowing arousal, glaring at her as he utilized some of his more divine abilities to actually reverse the development of the baby leeches within her womb, reverting them to nothng more than a few tiny cells, as though the leech had just mated with her a few seconds earlier.
"You're not giving birth during a debriefing, Mayu." Kira softly growled, before then walking past the young woman and stopping at the door. "This debriefing is over, you're all dismissed." The amethyst-eyed man then walked out of the room, leaving Mayu Asuka frustrated and somewhat upset.
