Disclaimer: To anyone who suggests adding another Gundam from Gundam Wing I will have to disappoint you but the Gundam that Zala builds in secret is built by ZAFT just like the Freedom, Justice and Providence Gundams is the final Gundam I'm introducing. What you can offer is suggestions for the weapons since I need the thing to have more firepower than the Freedom and Providence combined. As for any other relationships, aside from Shawn and Flay, Murrue and Mu will be the only couples I'm concentrating on. But there will be a starter for Dearka and Miriallia near the closing of the war.

Freedom, Justice and Wing-Zero.
Previously.
"There's something I want to know. Wing-Zero and the Helsion have the same cockpit system. I've heard its pilot talking to it as if it were alive just like you do. Is the cockpit system telling you to take care of me? What does the Helsion say that makes me so important?" Flay inquired sliding off the bed her naked body completely exposed to him.
"Helsion has told me that you are the one who can help me regain my humanity," he answered pushing her back on the bed. "Go back to sleep, the attack should be over in three to four hours at most,"
And now the continuation.
Briefing Room.
"Pilot Shawn Regal reporting sir," Shawn saluted stepping into the briefing room.
"Are you supposed to be guarding the prisoner?" Yzak sneered from his seat.
"While I doubt Yzak's concern for the girl I believe you should sit this battle out. There will be other chances to use Helsion's power," Le Creuset countermanded standing beside the big screen.
"Helsion believes this battle will last six hours without us. If we join the mission we can deploy the Gungnirs three or four hours ahead of schedule and we can keep casualties on our side to a minimum," Shawn explained, ignoring Yzak completely. "Even the Duel has its limitations in an atmosphere,"
"Hey! Who are you to question my piloting skills!" Yzak shouted getting up from his seat. "Don't forget that I'm a redcoat too,"
"I was not questioning your piloting skills, merely that your machine can't fight like the Helsion can, which has four times the manoeuvrability of a Dinn. You need the Helsion for this battle Commander," Shawn clarified.
"Very well, I permit you to join the attack on Panama," Le Creuset replied.
"Thank you sir," Shawn said taking an empty seat.
"Now then our main objective in this attack is to take control of five target points so our forces in orbit can deploy the Gungnirs which will knock out all their electronic devices. Because they don't expect us to attack so soon after Alaska all forces will commence the operation in 30 minutes to catch them off guard," Le Creuset explained a sadistic smile forming on his face. "I want everyone to standby in their machines. Once the Gungnirs are activated you may do what you wish with any survivors,"
'I don't like the way he acts so causal about that order. But I've never had a problem following Commander Le Creuset's orders so why do I feel uneasy? Are you saying Chairman Zala's way is wrong Helsion? It's too soon for me to make any move so I'll keep playing the obedient soldier for now and see if you're right,' Shawn thought following the other pilots to the locker room.
"Listen up Regal, don't get in my way out there," Yzak threatened bumping him with his shoulder on purpose. "I intend to be the one giving orders someday,"
"I have a feeling you will, but I'm only here to fight and follow orders," Shawn replied brushing off Yzak's threat.
Plants.
Zala's Office.
Three Hours Later.
"Excuse me Chairman Zala I have Heero Yuy here to see you,"
"Send him in," Zala replied reading a report from the construction teams at Jachin Due.
"Yes sir,"
Looking up from his computer screen Zala waited as the doors opened for Heero to enter with something slung over his shoulders. At first he thought it was Lacus' corpse and one of her allies but when he noticed the familiar clothing of the secret service agents, he knew something was wrong.
"What is the meaning of this Yuy?" Zala demanded.
"I should be asking you the same question Zala," Heero replied letting the corpses drop to the floor. "Why did you send these clowns to kill Lacus when you knew what would happen if anyone interfered with me? What's more they threatened to kill Athrun and myself if we didn't let them handle the investigation,"
"Then you should have listened. Lacus Clyne is a dangerous woman, her words encourage peace through talk and understanding. That's not how to win the war. Lowering ourselves to talk with the naturals only shows them we are weak. We can't let ourselves go back to being naturals when we've evolved into a superior species. And because we are coordinators the naturals exploit our abilities and call us space monsters," Zala prattled. "Once every last natural is dead we can being anew with a world created by the strength of coordinators,"
"We evolved? Last time I checked evolution took millions of years and coordinators have been around for 200. Coordinators aren't the next step in human evolution Zala we're just artificially enhanced naturals. And if we're as superior as you say we are, why have ZAFT soldiers been killed in combat? And don't forget my sister is a natural Zala," Heero spat back. "You're only after revenge for the death of your wife and the only thing you'll be remembered as is a genocidal madman. And one last thing, Lacus is still alive. She escaped because of your boy scouts so this is your screw up,"
"Yuy," Zala seethed.
"Just remember if Lacus or my sister die the naturals will be the last thing you need to worry about," he smirked walking casually out of Zala's office.
'Damn him. He always finds a way to undermine me,' Zala fumed.
Earth.
Earth Forces Panama Base.
Three Hours into the Attack.
Yzak hated to admit it but Shawn was right, in the three hours since the attack commenced ZAFT forces had destroyed 60% of the anti-air defences and were now working to secure the drop points. There were six times when EF fighter planes came close to destroying his Guul only to have they sliced apart with the segmented heat whip in the shield on Helsion's left arm. The Ginn forces on the ground were encountering very little opposition since all they were up against were tanks and anti-air turrets that had no effect on ZAFT's standard Mobilesuits.
"Is this all we have to fight against? This is as easy as Alaska?" Yzak complained blowing up another line of missile batteries with the Duel's beam rifle. "I thought they sent most of their forces here,"
"Maybe so but we did catch them off guard by our sudden attack. If they had detected us they would have been able to mount an effective defence," Shawn replied slicing a row of tanks with the heat whip. "Plus we attacked at dawn so most of the soldiers were most likely asleep at the time,"
"Then I guess we've got this battle all wrapped up," Yzak scoffed looking down at the Helsion standing in the flaming wreckage.
"Not yet! They're sending out reinforcements, 30 contacts confirmed and heading for the Foster Team!" Shawn reported launching Helsion into the air.
"What are you so worried about anyway? All the Earth Forces have are tanks and jets," Yzak reminded following after the Helsion nonetheless.
"I'm not sure," Shawn answered feeling an increase from the Zero System.
"Damn it Regal you'd better tell me what the hell is going on!" Yzak demanded barely hearing the order to deploy the Gungnirs.
"This is the Foster Team! We're under attack by enemy Mobilesuits! 30 of them confirmed!"
"This is Shawn in the Helsion, I'm on my way," Shawn replied.
'Damn that Mobilesuit is fast,' Yzak cursed following behind in the Duel.
Orb Territory.
Archangel.
Kira's Quarters.
"ZAFT's attacking Panama?" Shinobu asked doing up her hair in a ponytail.
"Yeah, from what we've gathered they've been under attack since dawn," Cagalli confirmed ignoring the fact that Kira and Shinobu were half naked.
"I thought the Earth Forces had stationed most of their forces at Panama. Won't that make things harder for ZAFT?" Kira asked keeping a hand around Shinobu's bare waist.
"Apparently the Earth Forces had a new machine built at Alaska but it wasn't moved in time and it now looks like that machine is being used in the attack," Cagalli explained dressed in her normal red shirt and green cargo pants. "And that's not all. This new machine is made from Gundanium alloy,"
"Gundanium?! That can't be right, Heero and I don't even know how to make it. Our father was the only one who knew how to fabricate it. I don't understand how the Earth Forces could make it," Shinobu gasped backing against the wall.
"Shinobu, calm down. It can't be helped right now, but you said it yourself even Gundanium has its limits. We can also be thankful it takes a month to fabricate enough for one Mobilesuit," Kira said kissing her forehead.
"I wonder what kind of capabilities it has?" Cagalli wondered.
'We'll know if we ever face if in combat,' Kira thought wondering how Heero and Lacus were doing. "How are the repairs to the Archangel progressing?"
"Right on schedule. And Commander La Flaga's Mobilesuit training is almost complete, he's even better than most of the Astray pilots," Cagalli answered suddenly feeling very aroused at the thought of a certain blue haired pilot. "But right now I feel overdressed, thinking about ZAFT makes me think about Athrun. I probably would have let him screw me when we were on that island,"
"What's this? Cagalli Yula Athha likes bondage sex," Shinobu teased making Kira bury his head in a pillow to stop himself from laughing, and failing miserably. "Would you like me to tie you up and lick you out?"
"Uh no I think I'll wait till we meet up with Athrun," Cagalli replied her face matching her shirt.
Heero's POV.

Wing-Zero Hanger.
Zero's Cockpit.
"Athrun before we take off there's something I think you should know," I said waiting as the technicians ran over the Justice's final check list. "Do you remember that blue and white fighter you destroyed when you were fighting Kira before you destroyed the Aegis?"
"It's one of the things I try to forget about this war," Athrun replied remorsefully going through the start-up sequence.
"The pilot's girlfriend was aboard the Archangel since it left Heliopolis and he was piloting fighter you destroyed. He and his girlfriend were civilians like Kira but they enlisted so they could help Kira fight. Tolle died the same way Nicole did, only you didn't kill Tolle accidentally," I explained closing my helmet visor.
"Do you think she'll try to get revenge?" he asked pausing his typing.
"No, Miriallia's not the type to hold a grudge. But just remember that I'm not as forgiving, betray me and I will get revenge," I warned giving Athrun my 'death glare'.
"Uh right," Athrun mumbled.
Regular POV.
"Power levels normal, conduit separation from X-09A Justice confirmed,"
"Wing-Zero launch path clear,"
"Heero Yuy, Wing-Zero launching!"
"Course clear, may our Justice have the divine protection of the stars,"
"Athrun Zala, Justice launching!"
Earth.
Earth Forces Panama Base. (What's left of it).
Helsion's Cockpit.
'This is just disgraceful,' Shawn thought watching the remaining Ginns murdering the surviving naturals in cold blood. 'We look at them like nothing more than cockroaches yet they see us as space monsters just because we've had our genes altered. Is this what I should be fighting Helsion? Fighting against people who can't accept someone just because of their genes? Then where do I start? Wing-Zero. You can't find him, so we'll just have to wait for him to come to us,'
"Hey Regal. Why aren't you joining them?" Yzak asked sitting beside the Helsion in the Duel. "I thought you were trained to hate all naturals,"
"I am beginning to question the very reason for this war," Shawn replied firing up Helsion's jets. "Some coordinators are no better than Blue Cosmos,"
"I can't argue with that," Yzak said watching the carnage with disgust.
Back at the Carriers.
After securing Helsion in its restrains and changing out of his flight-suit Shawn made his way back to his quarters when he heard a feminine shriek of terror coming from the cafeteria. Sprinting there in ten seconds flat what Shawn saw made his blood boil for reasons he couldn't explain. Two soldiers had a terrified Flay held down on one of the tables with her borrowed uniform top open exposing her tank top which was pulled up to reveal her breast, her skirt was somewhere on the floor and her panties were hanging off her right ankle. One of the soldiers was holding her legs open while thrusting into her rough and hard with a huge smirk on his face while the other had a firm grasp on her wrists in one hand and the other hand stroking himself. Everyone else was standing around the table watching show, jacking off and chuckling at Flay's pitiful attempts to struggle and her pleas to stop. Moving faster than anyone thought possible Shawn was in the cafeteria and landed a hard roundhouse kick to the mouth of the soldier thrusting into the girl, sending him hitting the wall and knocking him unconscious and breaking his jaw. The only sounds came from Flay as she whimpered on the table, curling herself into a ball. Tears streaming from her tightly shut eyes.
"Next one to touch her will have to come through me," Shawn said defiantly kneeling beside her on the table.
"Come on Shawn, she's just a stinking natural. Why do you care if we have some fun with her?" one of the others asked. "If you wanted to bang her first you should have said something,"
"Scum like you are the reason we're at war," Shawn replied straightening up Flay's clothes. "You're no better than Blue Cosmos,"
"Take that back you bastard!" another shouted trying to hit Shawn over the head with a metal lunch tray, not noticing the yellow glow in his eyes.
"What's going on here!?" Commander Le Creuset bellowed causing the fight to stop. "Now I want an explanation,"
"We were just having a little fun with this natural when Shawn here barged in and kicked Olfot in the face," the soldier holding the tray explained.
"In other words you were raping the girl is that correct?" Le Creuset asked looking at the whimpering Flay particularly her lack of clothing as she clung to Shawn's side.
"It's just one little natural girl Commander. We're at war so who cares what we do to her," another commented earning his nose a painful meeting with Shawn's fist.
"You're all no better than Blue Cosmos!" Shawn shouted kneeing the same soldier in the gut.
"Shawn that's enough!" Le Creuset ordered. "Now take the girl to sickbay then return to your quarters and remain there until I sort this mess out,"
"Understood Commander," Shawn replied picking Flay up bridal style where she immediately burrowed into his warmth. The yellow glow fading from his eyes.
'Hmm, this is interesting. Shawn should have ignored what the boys were doing to that girl, instead he attacks them and defends her. It seems his exposure to the girl and the Zero System are having an adverse effect on Shawn's personality, something chairman Zala didn't account for. This is very entertaining indeed,' Le Creuset mentally snickered.
Sickbay.
"Well there doesn't appear to be any serious damage to your vagina, so aside from some tenderness for the next few days you'll be fine," the doctor said putting the medical equipment away. "I still can't believe the crew would go so low as to actually rape an innocent girl like you,"
"They raped me because I'm a natural, so I can understand if you didn't like the idea of treating me even though you were ordered," Flay replied indifferently pulling her panties back on.
"Actually it doesn't bother me that you're a natural at all. But what surprises me is that Shawn here would attack his own side to defend you. He was after all trained since he was very young to hate all naturals," the doctor explained writing up the report. "But ever since he encountered that new machine he's been acting differently, sure he's silent but the fact that he said the guys in the cafeteria were no better than Blue Cosmos, it's like he's starting to doubt his original training,"
"He and I are the same," Flay said sliding her arms through Shawn's red coat.
"In what way?" the doctor asked turning away from the computer.
"I hated coordinators because I thought you were all monsters since you're genes were altered with. I even threatened to kill Lacus Clyne when my father's ship was under attack in space. But after Alaska I've come to realise how wrong I was, even coordinators can makes mistakes just like naturals do," Flay replied securing the belt around her waist.
Orb Territory.
Archangel.
Murrue's Quarters.
"What did you say? Panama's been destroyed?" Murrue demanded shooting up from her chair, her breast bouncing as she stood.
"That's right. From what we've been able to gather a new machine took place in the attack that was built by the Earth Forces in Alaska. This new machine was supporting ZAFT forces during the battle and we've also learned that it was made from something called Gundanium alloy," Kisaka replied seeing their looks of shock. "I see you both know something about this alloy?"
"Gundanium is what Wing-Zero's armour is made of but it 'was' the only Mobilesuit that has Gundanium armour Shinobu told us herself, so how did the Earth Forces get their hands on it?" Murrue asked flopping back in her seat somewhat calmer this time.
"Someone on this ship must have leaked the information to the Luna base while we were still in space. Shinobu explained that it takes a month in a near zero-g environment to fabricate enough Gundanium for one Mobilesuit alone," Mu interjected. "The only person I can see betraying Heero like that is Natarle,"
"You're right. She was the only one strongly believed Heero should fight for the Earth Forces," Murrue replied rubbing her temples.
Disclaimer: So tell me did you like it when Shawn came to Flay's rescue? If you did then I must tell you, part of me wanted to let her rape continue into a gang bang. But I strongly believe against that kind of behaviour. Another thing you should be aware of is the alternate version of this fan fic I'm writing that starts after Lacus escapes the Plants with the Eternal but it won't be posted until I get to that point in this version. I leave you to guess what surprise I will reveal. See you in chapter 19.
