"Ok, it's time to end this." Kira scowled, igniting all of the Divinity's built-in beam blades; one on each wrist, another on each leg. and finally one on each foot. He smirked as he lashed out at the Mudkip Gundam with a kick from his right leg, the pure white beam blade effortlessly cleaving its way through metal, flesh and bone. Kira turned to face the Akatsuki and Chimera, snarling loudly as a brightly glowing purple seed with shimmering gold veins dropped through the vast darkness of his mind, only to detonate with a world changing light and sound.
Lacus reacted instantly, triggering her own Seed Mode as she yanked Cagalli's Akatsuki Gundam backwards like a fish on a line, before then cocooning both of their machines in as many layers of GN fields and beam shielding as she could muster. It was enough, barely enough, but still enough, to keep them alive as Kira finally hit the long rumored Second Stage Seed Mode. Temperatures within an eight hundred meter radius of the Divinity Gundam suddenly plummeted over two hundred degrees, as molecular vibrations and motions were all but brought to an instant standstill by Kira's telekinetic grip. The oxygen and carbon dioxide in the air froze, encasing a sphere almost a mile in diameter in dry ice and liquid oxygen. Most of the troops within that area were already dead. The same could not be said for almost four thousand Earth Alliance, Orb and ZAFT infantry and armored vehicle troopers, and almost a dozen remaining Orb mobile suit pilots. The only merciful thing about their deaths was that they were fast. Most were turned into instant corpsicles before they even realized something was wrong.
Less lucky were those outside the sphere of ice, where the temperature was still shockingly tropical, because almost as soon as the ice had formed, Kira shattered it from within by instantly raising the temperature to almost a million degrees, not merely melting all the frozen gases but also igniting them in the process. Ice quite literally caught fire before exploding in a hail of rapidly vaporizing, razor sharp shards that cut down hundreds more soldiers and utterly devastated the Mass Driver Command and Loading facilities in so doing. The Akatsuki and Chimera Gundams were both physically knocked off their feet and buried under dozens of tons of sizziling snowflakes before they melted away with pops like those made by firecrackers. Cagalli and Lacus barely had time to sit up before Kira continued his rampage, as a sudden burst of telekinetic force ripped up a solid quarter mile of the ground and hurled it into the sky like a man throwing a stick for his pet dog.
A shower of sparks rapidly danced above the waters of the Kaguya Channel, as one of the few remaining defenders, a lone ORB-X103A+AQM/E-X01 Aile Buster Windam deflected the Divinity's pure white beam saber blades with its own glowing green energy blades. The ORB-X103A+AQM/E-X01 Aile Buster Windam was a mass production mobile suit used by Orb, the mobile suit having been reverse-engineered, with Celestial Being's assistance, from a pair of captured Earth Alliance units; specifically, the GAT/A-01E2 Buster Dagger and the GAT-04+AQM/E-X01 Aile Windam. Kira yanked back the controls to dodge the Aile Buster Windam's lethal saber swipe at his mobile suit's waist, then pitched forward again to avoid a barrage of beams from a Murasame streaking in from behind.
Kira Yamato grinned like a beast as he brought his beam saber down onto the Aile Buster Windam's beam blade. The pilot, whoever they were, could put up a decent fight in that mobile suit of theirs, and even in a mere Aile Buster Windam, but they still could not hope to defeat him, not like this, not here, and not yet.
The Windam lunged forward, trying in vain to push the Divinity back. The pilot of the Windam bit back a scowl in the cockpit, with the Divinity Gundam looming above her. "Why you continue to fight like this is a mystery to me." She snarled. "You know very well what we can do."
Kira cackled. "I'm very impressed and I'd expect nothing less than the best from any pilot whom was formerly under my command. But you can't kill me, and that's a fact that will cost you!" The Divinity hurled the Windam back with a saber swing and charged forward. The Windam darted aside, only for the Divinity to whip around and unleash the heat rod from within its left arm, the metal appendage instantly wrapping itself around the Windam's right leg, even as the angelic mobile suit lined up its plasma cannons, and opened fire. The Windam pilot hissed in frustration, slashing through the heat rod with her saber before then flinging her mobile suit down towards the earth, and less than two seconds later, the Divinity swept down upon her with a saber hack that the Windam's blade barely blocked.
The pilot of the Aile Buster Windam watched in muted horror as a pair of glowing white cylinders suddenly emerged from the Divinity Gundam's shoulders, while at the same time, the machine's faceplate split, revealing a large mouth filled with pure white, razor-sharp teeth.
"You're just a target!" Kira screamed, the Divinity Gundam echoing his words with a deep, rumbling shriek, as it somersaulted over the Aile Buster Windam's chest cannon blasts. The Windam brought its right arm around, saber blazing, but Kira jammed his physical shield into its path, stopping the brightly glowing energy blade. "We're going to crush you!" Sparks flew and the shriek of tearing metal filled the air as Kira brought his saber down, severing the Windam's right arm at the elbow.
An instant later, temperatures again plummeted, as molecular vibrations and motions were once more brought to an instant standstill by Kira's telekinetic grip. The oxygen and carbon dioxide in the air froze, encasing a sphere almost a mile in diameter in dry ice and liquid oxygen, just as it had before.
Less than half a second later, Kira raised the temperature to almost a million degrees, shattering this sphere as he had done with the last one, not merely melting the frozen gases but also igniting them in the process. Once more, ice literally caught fire before exploding in a hail of rapidly vaporizing, razor sharp shards that cut down hundreds of the retreating soldiers and utterly devastating the nearby facilities which still remained standing. Once more, the Akatsuki and Chimera Gundams were both physically knocked off their feet and buried under tons of sizziling snowflakes before they melted away with loud pops. Cagalli and Lacus barely had time to sit up before Kira continued his indiscriminate rampage, as another sudden burst of telekinetic force ripped up the shattered remains of the Mass Driver and its facilities, and effortlessly hurled them into the sky, the twisted structures plowing through a ZAFT dropship which was in low-earth orbit. Cagalli had now realized that she had no choice but to order a complete withdrawal. To stay on Kaguya, to stay with Kira, was to be smashed to atoms by his blind fury. The Divinity's pilot had clearly lost all conceptualization of friend or foe, and was in fact, simply lashing out blindly at anything and everything around him. Hopefully, there would still be a Kaguya to come back to later, but with the way things were presently going, Lacus and Cagalli weren't going to hedge any bets, as they sped away from the Divinity Gundam and the ravaged island.
