Heliopolis
During the months at Heliopolis the Normandy made some trips to Mars retrieving some mobile suits which were actually mostly Jegans and ReZELs for its own mobile suit pilots. Both Natural and Coordinator.
At the moment Braydin and Aiden were walking down a hallway. Braydin was wearing his uniform along with Aiden, who wore a light red shirt and jeans.
Both men walked towards the door to the hanger before they reach the door where it opens and they see things either stationed or floating in the air due to no gravity in the hanger at the moment.
BOOM
"AAAAAHHHHH!" A red blur shot in front of them before a crashing sound is heard.
"Ahh… son of a bitch!" A familiar voice said before slowly floating out of a room with soot covering his flight suit was John.
"Were you working on your Gundam again?" Braydin asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah why?" John asked as he took his helmet off.
"Please stop because it's almost time." Aiden said.
"Jesus I completely forgot about that!" John said smacking the side of his head before he ran off.
"I wonder what it would take for him to realize that his flight suit is on backwards." Braydin said with a smirk because it was true that John was wearing his flight suit backwards.
Inside colony
Inside the colony sat a young boy with brown hair and violet eyes working on a computer with some papers around him before a robot bird lands on his computer. The bird was his robotic pet made by an old friend of his.
"Birdy" The bird chirped
"Kira!" a voice shouted the now identified Kira.
Kira turns to see his friends Tolle, Miriallia, Jarod, Dexter, Ben, and Chris walk towards him with Ben and Chris carrying backpacks while Dexter carried a duffle bag.
Dexter, Chris, Ben, and Jarod were wearing civilian clothing though each of them wore the same clothing as they did when they arrived at the college.
"So this is where you're hanging out? Professor Kato has been trying to get a hold of you." Tolle said.
"What again?" Kira asked.
"He asked us to bring you to him right away." Miriallia said "Well are you assisting him on something else?"
"Too much. "Kira replied putting the lab top on the table "I still haven't even finished going through the stuff he dumped on me yesterday."
"Hey, what is this?" Dexter asked walking up to look at the computer screen as they hear the sounds of gunfire.
"Some development on the news?" Tolle asked
"Yeah, Taiwan apparently." Kira said before he brought up a screen which was CBN news.
"Hey, isn't Taiwan close to Orb?" Dexter asked acting of being ignorant.
"But this is footage from last week so it must have already been taken." Jarod said sitting on a wooden rail.
"Yeah" Kira shut off his computer.
"Do you think the homeland will be alright?" Miriallia asked
Kira's bird flew off into the sky.
"Sure, there's nothing to worry about. Oh their close by but our nation is neutral. Can't see Orb turning into a warzone." Said Tolle while Kira was more focused on Birdy.
"Really then I guess we're okay." Miriallia said while Kira was having a flashback.
"Kira?" Tolle said moving his face in front of Kira's causing him to cry out in surprise while leaping to the side accidentally hitting Jarod and causing him to fall off the railing and onto his back where he lied there with his left leg twitching while Dexter was laughing at Jarod's misery and both Chris and Ben were smirking and shaking their heads at Dexter's response.
"Sorry Jarod" Kira apologized.
"It's okay." Jarod said getting up while rubbing the back of his head.
"What's up with you anyway? Let's go." Tolle said before the 7 leave.
ZAFT forces Nazca-Class destroyer, Vesalius
Captain Ades of the Nazca-Class Vesalius was on edge, he knew this was a bad idea as the small ships carrying the commando team headed towards Heliopolis. The fleet of 3 Laurasia-class frigates and 4 Nazca-class destroyers sat behind an asteroid hiding from sight. Despite his advice to wait for a reply from the Supreme Council on what to do, his commanding officer though was not one to be called patient.
"Try not to look so frustrated Ades." Said Rau Le Creuset, as he floated by him.
"Well I don't see any harm on waiting for a reply from the council." Before he could finish, Rau cut him off.
"It will be far too late. I have a sixth sense of these sorts of things." The masked commander replied as he gently tossed a photograph of a strange mobile suit towards him. Whenever Ades had a discussion with, he always felt a chill go up his spine as the masked man continued, "Should we fail to act now, later we will pay with our lives for our reluctance." He said as he took his seat next to Ades. "The Earth Forces' new Mobile Weapons. We must secure them before they can be moved."
"But what about the Gundam Pilots?" Ades asked remembering what was now called the Junius seven rescue.
"I cannot say about them." Rau said calmly while on the inside he was slightly angry at the pilots for saving Junius Seven.
Heliopolis interior 3 minutes ago
The Le Creuset team and 8 other ZAFT green coats flew through the zero-G halls before one of the member's stops and shouted. "What the hell!"
Everyone stopped and looked where their comrade was looking until their eyes widen in surprise because in front of the outer window was a familiar white and black ship with the familiar name in black letters on the sides.
"Normandy" A green haired red coat said quietly with a bit of worry looking at the bold black letters.
"Isn't that the ship belonging to those mobile suit pilots that saved Junius Seven?" A blond tan skinned red coat asked as he got closer to get a better look while feeling a bit worried.
"Yeah it is." A silver haired red coat said.
"Shouldn't we tell Commander Creuset?" One of the green coats asked.
"That seems like a good idea." A blue haired red coat said before he contacts the Vesalius and told them what they saw.
Vesalius Bridge
"So the ship and the pilots of those Gundams have finally been found." Rau said seeing a picture of the Normandy.
"The Normandy" Ades said looking at the vessel while feeling uneasy.
"It appears we will need to move our plans up faster." Rau quietly said.
"Should we inform the homeland?" Ades asked.
"No our main objective is the Earth Forces mobile weapons but just in case send the Gillian, Altair, Varco, Talon, and Fortson." Rau said and everyone went to do as they were told.
Heliopolis streets
Tolle, Miriallia, Kira, Dexter, Jarod, Chris, and Ben noticed three girls having a conversation before the girls take notice of them.
"Hey Miriallia I bet you know" One of the girls gushed. "Know what?" The brown haired girl asked totally puzzled by the other girl's question.
"The girl who had just spoken gestured towards the red haired girl that was standing next to her and said "Flay here got a letter from Sai Argyle and now she's claiming that there's nothing going on." The girl explained. Kira seemed to pay much more attention after that last statement.
Looking at Kira, the Gundam pilots had different thoughts with the Alder brothers smirking while Dexter was busy glaring at Jarod with a hard cover book with the younger Walker lying on the ground with a fountain of blood pouring from his head.
A cough catches their attention where they turn to see a black haired woman with two men behind her was standing right behind Kira.
"If you're not getting in mind if I do?" The woman asked.
"Oh we're sorry please." Tolle said as he and Kira stood out of the way for the woman and both men walk to the car.
"It seems we already met Natarle." Dexter muttered.
"Yeah and the crew of the Archangel." Chris quietly said.
The disguised soldiers entered the self-guided car where Flay and her friends entered the other one.
Once both cars drove off Tolle says "How about that Sai, he wrote to her."
"Huh?" Kira's response was.
"To Flay Allster no less, what a total shock and surprise. You have some competition Kira Yamato! Good luck." Tolle said as he walks by with Miriallia following him giggling while the Alder brothers laughed as Dexter dragged the still unconscious Jarod to a car which was the same car the Alders' were walking too.
"But really I'm not!" Kira tried to say as he, Tolle, and Miriallia entered another car.
Normandy
"Hey boss ZAFT is here!" Joker shouted from the cockpit at Braydin.
"Yeah I see them so ready the ship and catapults for launch while me, Alyssa, John, and Aiden get our Gundams ready." Said Braydin.
"Why only you four?" Joker asked.
"Well they might try and come look to see why the Normandy is here and some may take it the wrong way so we're just getting ready." Braydin replied.
"Alright now I see what you are talking about." Joker said now understanding what Braydin was saying.
"Hey boss what should I do if the Normandy is in combat?" Joker asked.
"Just shoot to cripple not destroy because I don't want a death wish for killing ZAFT personnel." Braydin said as he made his way to the elevator.
Morgenroete
The group of seven arrived at Kato's office to see two more of Kira's friends.
"Ah Kira you finally made it." A boy with blond hair wearing sunglasses says.
The group walked in before they noticed another figure which was someone wearing heavy clothing but from what the crew of the Normandy could see the figure was clearly a girl.
"Who's that?" Tolle asked a kid with black hair.
"Oh, that's professor Kato's guest. They were asked to wait here." The black haired boy said.
"Cagalli?!" Dexter said acting surprised catching the blonde girl and everyone else off guard.
"You know him?" Sai asked irritating the blonde haired girl.
"Uh Cagalli's a girl." Dexter said causing the students to widen their eyes in surprise.
"Oh, sorry." Sai said.
"So what is it that I have to do?" Kira asked getting out of his stupor before Sai handed him a data drive saying "He gave me this for you, said there's some extra stuff on it. So what's on it? I suppose it has something to do with the work for Morgenroete."
"Technically not." Kira spoke up "It's to improve the frame module. It's just a simple progress analysis." Then Tolle got Kira in a headlock.
"Ask him about the letter Kira!"
"Let go Tolle! I said no!" Sai looked puzzled; what was this business about a letter?
"What letter?" He asked.
As this happened, Dexter and the Gundam pilots walked up to the girl.
"Cagalli why are you here?" Dexter whispered.
"I heard that the Earth Forces were making mobile suits here on an Orb colony." Cagalli whispered back.
"It's not Orb helping the EA but rather Morgenroete since it's an independent corporation and we're here for just that same thing and we're going to try and make sure that they stay out of EA hands." Dexter quietly said
"How?" Cagalli asked.
"We have our Gundams in the same facility as the EA mobile suits but it was hard to get them in." Dexter said rubbing the back of his head.
Vesalius
Rau Le Creuset glanced at his watch and smiled. It was time. By now, his team should have successfully infiltrated Heliopolis, planted the explosives, and were ready for the second phase to begin.
"It's time." He told Ades.
"Weigh anchor!" Ordered Ades. "Vesalius launch!"
In an instant the Vesalius, Gamow, Gillian, Altair, Varco, Talon, and Fortson moved towards Heliopolis, alarms went off in the Heliopolis's Dock Control room, in the bridge of the recently docked Earth Forces ship, all around the Normandy, and in the hanger control room of the Archangel.
Normandy
"Damn it I knew something like this was going to happen!" John shouted as he puts his helmet on which had its visor unpolarized.
"Remember: cripple, don't destroy!" Braydin shouted from the cockpit of the Booster Altron as John entered the Dark Deathscythe.
"I think we remember what Chris told us months ago!" Aiden said from the cockpit of the AGE-Extreme.
"Just remember to watch each other." Alyssa said as she moved her limps and in the process moved the Zen Master.
"And that if we encounter Rau then we can kill him." Braydin said with a smirk as the Booster Altron reached the catapult.
"Alright boys and girls the first to bat is the Booster Altron." Joker said over the comms and everyone understood who he was talking about.
Braydin shook his head with amusement as he was on the catapult "Braydin Nilsson, Booster Altron, launching!" Braydin said before he is shot out but as he did, he almost flew into a piece of debris but flew around it in time.
"Dammit that was close!" Braydin shouted as he moved his Gundam.
"Hey Braydin stop whining and worry about those!" John said after launching from the catapult where he had the Dark Deathscythe point out and they turn to see 5 ZAFT vessels approaching the Normandy with 12 GINN's and 4 CGUE's.
"Well this will be a challenge." Braydin muttered with a smirk.
"You ready guys?" Aiden asked as he got out of the Normandy and flew next to the Dark Deathscythe.
"Ready as the day we got here." Braydin said with a smile.
"I was born ready." John said as he activated his beam scythe.
"Ready to fight when you all are." Alyssa said once the Zen Master was out of the catapult which closed.
"Here they come." Braydin said as he saw the approaching mobile suits.
"Let's go greet them." John said before he flew off.
"Wait dammit!" Braydin shouted before he flew after the black mobile suit.
With the GINNs and CGUEs they saw the approaching mobile suit.
"Hey guys isn't that the God of Death, Dark Deathscythe?" Asked a GINN pilot.
"Yeah and why is he coming at us like that?" Asked a CGUE pilot.
"Stop where you are!" John shouted when he got within range causing the ZAFT mobile suits to stop.
"What is the reason for being here at Heliopolis?" John demanded.
"We're here because of EA mobile suits." Said a GINN pilot truthfully.
"That's all? You come and attack a colony of a neutral nation which could draw them into war against ZAFT just for five mobile suits? Wouldn't it be more logical to attack them when outside the colony so that way it wouldn't start an international incident as well as political problems?" Braydin asked when he got there causing the ZAFT pilots to feel uneasy.
"But we can't let the Naturals get them!" Shouted a GINN pilot.
"Excuse me?" Aiden demanded once he arrived with Alyssa.
"Idiot! Don't you remember that it was Naturals that saved Junius Seven?!" Shouted a CGUE pilot.
"I don't care!" The GINN pilot shouted before he aimed his rifle along with another CGUE and two GINNs.
"No wait!" The CGUE pilot shouted trying to stop them but failed because the first bullet was fired and flew at the AGE-Extreme but the bullets collided with nothing as the Gundam dodged the attack.
"It seems you have made the first move." Braydin said before he launched the Booster Altron's Dragon Fangs sending it flying at the GINN but it tried to dodge only to fail as the weapons reached it crashing against the arms where it rips them off.
"Dammit!" The GINN pilot shouted.
"ZAFT has committed an unprovoked attack and as such we shall retaliate." Said John as he flew at a GCUE that tried to shoot him but the bullets pinged harmlessly off the Dark Deathscythe's armor before he swung, cutting off the arms and head.
"Damn idiots!" Shouted a GINN pilot as he tried to fly back only for two beams to blow the arms off his mobile suit.
"Joker, aim for the guns on the Nazca!" Aiden shouted while the AGE-Extreme held its beam rifle and behind him the Zen Master punched a GINN several times before ripping its arms off and kicking it away.
"Right" Joker said before several blue beams shot and connected with the many weapons on the Nazca causing them to explode but the destroyer was still intact with only its weapons destroyed.
Vesalius
"The Gillian is damaged sir, weapons destroyed!" A crewman shouted.
"What how?" Ades asked confused.
"Sir, the Normandy just fired several beams that struck all the gun emplacements." A readings officer said with a hint of fear in his voice.
"And I'm reading four mobile suits but the black one is tearing the mobile suits apart!" Said the sensors operator.
"Have our mobile suits deal with the mobile armors and locate those mobile weapons." Rau said gritting his teeth as he thought 'Those mobile suits have been a pain in my plan for the last time?'
Heliopolis Morgenroete
In the room with Kira and his friends they were checking the systems of the drive before the entire colony shook.
"A meteoroid?!" Asked a surprised Sai.
"No, an attack!" Dexter shouted knowing what that explosion was.
The group leaves the room and reaches an emergency stairway where they see people already climbing up.
"What's this all about?" Sai asked.
"I don't know!" replied one guy before another said "We're under attack by ZAFT! Some of their mobile suits have entered the colony!"
Cagalli's eyes widen slightly before she takes off running down the hall.
"Hey, you!" Kira called out before Dexter said "Come on let's go after her."
The others understood before they run off after Kira and Cagalli.
"Kira!" Tolle called out
"We'll be back!" Jarod shouted over the explosions as dust flew by.
Kira catches up to Cagalli and grabs her by the arm saying "What are you doing? That's a dead end there."
"Stop tailing me. You better get out of here and hook back up with the others." Cagalli said as the Gundam pilots reached the two.
"I'm sorry but we can't leave you alone Cagalli because we don't know what will happen." Dexter said before another explosion happened and wind flew around causing Kira to cover his eyes while Cagalli's hat flew off letting her hair fall down.
"You're a girl?" Kira asked surprised but that question caused the four soldiers to face-fault.
"Didn't we mention she was a girl?!" Jarod shouted out standing up with a tick mark on his head.
"He's right, what did you think I was?" She asked with her cheeks red with embarrassment and anger.
"Sorry I just thought-" Kira was interrupted when another explosion shook the building and the way they came from crashed.
"Go back now, there's something I need to check up on my own." Cagalli said before Dexter put a hand on her shoulder saying "Sorry ma'am but that way is blocked and the only way out is that way and there's likely to be more shelters over there."
The girl didn't bother to say anything before they ran down the hall until they reached the end entering a large hanger as well as the sound of gunfire.
The group notice mobile suits but Dexter, Jarod, Chris, and Ben were focused on 4 particular mobile suits which were covered in tarps.
"Hey, those are…" Kira said with surprise.
The girl fell to her knees holding the railing "I knew it… the Earth Forces prototype mobile weapons. Father I knew you betrayed us all!"
"Oh shit!" Dexter shouted before he pushed everyone down as bullets flew over their heads.
"This way!" Chris shouted before the group ran to a shelter.
"See we made it." Kira said hitting a button.
"Is there still someone out there?" A voice said over the radio.
"Yes, my friends and I need to get inside please open the door." Kira said.
"There are more?" The voice said.
"That's right." Kira replied.
"We're filled to capacity already there's shelter 37 on the left block, can you make it there?" The voice said.
"Please at least take our friend, she's just a girl." Kira tried to persuade the man.
"Look out!" Ben shouted and everyone leapt out of the way as bullets crashed where they once were, destroying the elevator.
"Damn those last rounds destroyed the elevator, we can't go down." Dexter said before they hear grunting and turn to see Chris fighting 2 ZAFT green coats before he punched a green coat, smacking his head into the railing knocking him out before he kicked the other one in the face smacking the back of his head into the wall hard rendering him unconscious.
"Ben, catch!" Chris shouted tossing a rifle.
Lower level
"Athrun, Intel fucked up there's four more!" Rusty shouted.
Athrun turned to see the mobile suits but something wasn't right because when he read the data it only said five machines not nine and the four were covered in tarps.
"Those are likely just poorly made mobile suits." Athrun shouted as he shot down another EA soldier.
Upper level
"Hurry, we need to reach our mobile suits!" Chris shouted and they ran, with Jarod running with them in order to dodge bullets that missed him by inches.
"Damn!" Dexter growled before he notices a green coat taking sniper position aiming at a woman wearing an orange jumpsuit.
"Get down!" Ben shouted to the woman who was surprised by the voice before doing just that as bullets went over her head while Ben fired his rifle three times and each bullet struck the green coat but the bullets struck nonfatal areas so the soldier would live.
Kira and Cagalli were surprised by how well Ben took down the ZAFT green coat.
The woman turned around and looked to see that they were the same people she almost shot.
"Those kids again, why did they…" She was interrupted when a man cries out in pain hitting the ground dead.
The woman falls onto her stomach taking out a pistol and firing it, killing a green coat.
"Come here!" She called out to them.
"Thanks, but we're heading to the shelters in the left block, never mind us." Kira said
"Kira, that guy lied, we've been to this factory before and there aren't any shelters." Dexter said causing Kira to widen his eyes in surprise before a part of the factory exploded.
"Guys we can't go on without help!" Jarod said ducking under a piece of debris that sailed over his head.
"He's right so I guess it's safer to reach our mobile suits." Dexter said before Chris took out his bag and pulled out a jetpack with Ben doing the same while Dexter took out to their surprise a shotgun.
"Why do you have a shotgun in that bag, Dexter?" Jarod asked as Ben and Chris put on the jetpacks.
"For something like this!" Dexter yelled spinning around and pulled the trigger sending shotgun shells past Jarod, peppering a ZAFT green coat, who came around a corner but the rounds were concussive and nonlethal.
As that happened, Kira made a snap decision.
"Hey?! What are you doing!" The girl cried out in indignation as Kira suddenly picked her up bridal style.
Kira ran over to the catwalk with the others. He stopped and placed his foot against the rail to balance.
Jarod stood next to Kira saying "Hey, Kira please tell me you aren't-" He didn't get a chance to finish since his back met the bottom of Dexter's boot sending him falling over the edge and onto the ground hard.
"Move fast numb nuts!" Dexter shouted pumping his shotgun.
"Come on!" Chris shouted as he and Ben used their jet packs to float while Dexter used his shotgun as a safety line while riding a cable down as Kira who still had Cagalli in hand leapt off the railing.
Kira landed on the Strike Gundam on one knee as Dexter released the shotgun and lands next to him as Ben and Chris made their way to the Avenger and Origin respectively.
"Why does Dexter enjoy this?" Jarod asked as he got into the cockpit of the AGE-Blitz.
"You two alright?" Dexter asked as he helped Cagalli up while Kira stood up.
"Yeah I'm fine." Kira replied.
"Dexter, take Cagalli!" Chris shouted from his spot over the cockpit of the Origin before he jumped in.
"Right!" Dexter said nodding his head before they hear a familiar woman shout out in pain.
"Kira wait!" Dexter shouted when he saw Kira move to help the woman while he sees Athrun rushing Murrue with a knife.
"Athrun?" Kira said in surprise as he got a good look at the Red coats face.
Athrun stops when he heard the familiar voice call his name.
"Kira?" Athrun asked surprised before Dexter got in front of Kira with his shotgun ready.
"Don't. Even. Think about it." Dexter said pointing the rifle at the red coat, who by instinct flew away towards the Aegis.
"Get into the mobile suits!" Dexter shouted as he grabbed Cagalli's hand not noticing the blush before he ran to the cloak covered Exia Noir as the facility started exploding.
Kira was pushed into the cockpit of the Strike before Murrue leapt in.
All six mobile suits stood up as the facility exploded around them before all six shot up through the roof.
When they cleared the roof the facility exploded in a large explosion.
The mobile suit that Athrun took landed next to nine GINNs.
"Athrun" A pilot named Miguel called with a smile.
"Rusty failed." Athrun said with zero emotion.
"What?!" Miguel asked surprised
"The other machine has been boarded by an Earth Forces officer and Intel was off because there were four more mobile suits." Athrun said as the Strike and the cloak covered Origin, Avenger, Age-Blitz, and Exia Noir land.
Miguel takes notice that the Strike was staggering trying to keep balance while the four other suits walked like a normal human.
Miguel shoots the ground in front of the Strike causing it to stagger to the side.
The four other GINN's shoot at the Origin, Exia Noir, Age-Blitz, and Avenger but those mobile suits either stepped away or in the Origin's and Exia Noir's case back flip.
"What the hell was that?" The pilot of the GINN that shot at the Origin and Exia Noir asked.
Miguel took out a sword before turning the GINN's eye to the Aegis saying, "Okay, I'll capture these machines, you just make sure you get yours out of here."
Four other GINNs follow suit.
"All right, boys, let's give them the shock of their lives!" Chris said over a private com as the four Gundams grasped the tarps wrapped around their bodies before ripping them away to reveal themselves to the ZAFT pilots.
"Holy shit, it's those Gundam pilots!" a GINN pilot shouted in shock.
"What are they doing here?" Athrun muttered.
"PARTY TIME, MOTHERFUCKERS!" Jarod shouted in mad glee before he boosted towards a GINN and proceeded to tear both the mobile suit's arms off before kicking it to the ground.
The AGE-Blitz then wiped out a beam saber and blocked a slash from another GINN until he headbutted the ZAFT mobile suit back before grabbing its head, tearing it off, and cutting both its legs off.
With Ben, the silver-haired teen moved the Avenger to avoid two strikes that threatened to slice off its head. The GINN attacking the Gundam went for a downward strike with its sword until the Avenger caught the blade in between its hands then snapped the blade off. The ZAFT pilot was still in shock that he didn't notice the Avenger roundhouse kick the GINN to the ground.
The Avenger activated its forearm beam sabers as it blocked a downward slash from a GINN's sword before kicking the ZAFT suit back then slashed its sword arm off until the Avenger plunged its right forearm beam saber into the GINN's head.
With Dexter, the Exia Noir fired one of its Shorty beam rifles to disable a GINN's sword arm before the Gundam boosted towards the enemy suit, shoulder ramming it, and sending it crashing into a building.
The GINN that Dexter sent crashing began to stand again while the Earth Forces officer piloting the Strike pressed a button that caused the G-Weapon to start gaining color with the Strike turning white with black, blue, and red.
As that happened, both the GINN that Dexter fought and Miguel's GINN slash their blades onto the Exia Noir and the Strike's armor only for the swords to be rendered useless.
"What?!" Miguel asked surprised before he flies back but the GINN engaging Dexter didn't get the chance because the Exia Noir unsheathed one of its beam blades and rendered the GINN of its head and arms.
"Phase Shift... a SEED pilot's best friend against GINNs," Dexter commented as the Exia Noir's eyes flashed.
"Nah, I think my Avenger's armor is much better." Ben said as the Avenger tore off a GINN's arm then shoved its forearm beam saber through the waist, disabling the mobile suit.
"As if, my AGE-Blitz is loads more powerful," Jarod shouted in mad glee as the bulky Gundam was straddling a downed GINN while continuously pounding the ZAFT suit's head in.
"Why are we having this conversation?" Chris wondered before the Origin materialized a mobile suit-sized katana to slice the legs off a GINN that was trying to attack the silver Gundam from behind.
"Die Natural!" The last functional GINN pilot shouted as he charged at the Origin, but Chris dematerialized his Gundam's sword.
"What are you doing?!" Cagalli cried out in shock over the com before the GINN swung the blade down but as it drew closer, the observers were caught off guard when the Origin caught the sword by the tips of its index finger and middle finger on its right hand.
"That all you got?" Chris taunted before the Origin performed a powerful palm strike that sent the GINN flying into a building, knocking the pilot unconscious from the force of the impact.
"Dammit! What's going on here?! What's with those mobile suits? And that armor?" Miguel asked observing the Strike while noticing the Origin, Exia Noir, Avenger, and AGE-Blitz looking over the damaged GINNs as the pilots ran from their cockpits, who helped carry those that were either unconscious or wounded.
"The G-Weapons are all equipped with a system called Phase Shift Armor. Once activated, it renders the GINN sword useless." Athrun said before Miguel turned to see the Aegis turn from grey to a bright red.
"And what about those mobile suits?" Miguel asked referring to the four Gundams.
"I guess you never heard of those guys before, have you? Those are four of the Gundams that saved Junius Seven months ago; I heard the silver one and the horned one were especially powerful since one of them can change shape and the other has a weapon that can tear through a ship like paper." Athrun said grimly as the Avenger turned to look at it with an eerie glow from its blue visor.
"I really don't like that mobile suit." Ben stated in an angry tone as he glared at the Aegis.
"Why?" Jarod asked.
"Only I look cool in red!" Ben complained.
Two missiles fly through the air towards the Aegis but the G-Weapon shot both down via head Vulcans before shooting the ground where it destroyed a charging missile car.
Miguel turns the GINN towards the Aegis and says, "You gotta get out of here now, you can't stick around this place forever."
Athrun had a brief flash of a younger Kira before he took off into the air.
The GINN charges at the Strike but it retaliated with its own head Vulcans at the charging mobile suit only for said bullets to pass right over the GINN.
"I forgot how terrible of a pilot Murrue is." Dexter muttered which fortunately went unheard from Cagalli.
'The calibrations off.' Kira thought.
"Ha, doesn't matter how good your armor is..." Miguel said before he swings his sword but the Strike dodges the first swing only for the second to strike it in the abdomen area before it charges, "...if you can barely move!" Miguel finished with the GINN's sword crashing into the Strike's shoulder, sending it to the ground with its back against a building.
"Trying to pilot that mobile suit! You're in way over your head, Natural! Those other suits are better pilots than you!" Miguel shouted as the GINN approached the Strike only for warnings to blare in his cockpit.
"What?!" Miguel shouted in shock as he leapt back, avoiding a few beams then followed the trail to see the Origin holding a GN Pistol.
"Next time, I won't miss!" Chris shouted.
"I don't have time for this!" Miguel shouted before he leapt the GINN at the Strike with its sword thrusting at the cockpit.
"Guys! Tolle, Kuzzey, Miriallia, and Sai are down there!" Ben shouted over the com.
"What?!" the other three Gundam pilots shouted surprised before they watch the Strike duck under the sword before it boosted into the GINN, sending it crashing onto the ground on its back.
"Holy shit..." Jarod muttered in surprise.
In the Strike's cockpit, the woman controlling the mobile suit looked at Kira who moved the controls in surprise before she said, "How did you..."
"There are still people all around here," Kira said as he brought up the Strike's OS. "If you're going to drive something like this then you have to make better use of it."
As the GINN struggled to get back on its feet, Kira quickly scanned through the information on the monitors. "This is ridiculous," he said, "How do they expect to operate such a complex machine with this type of OS?"
"It hasn't yet reached the completion stage, it can't be helped." The woman said, sounding like a panicked student who was struggling with her work.
"Please move aside." Kira said to the woman. They didn't have much time for the GINN to finally climb back to its feet. "Hurry!" It was difficult with the wound on her arm but she and Kira managed to switch places. Once in the pilot seat, Kira pulled out the keyboard and began typing at a blinding speed, rewriting the portion of the Strike's OS that controlled the Igelstellung head Vulcans. The woman watched in amazement.
The GINN got ready to charge only to leap back in order to avoid some beams that were fired at by the Exia Noir but Miguel avoided the beams and charged at the Strike. But this time when Kira fired the Igelstellung, every bullet hit the GINN dead on. The light rounds weren't able to do much damage to the GINN's armor, but it did surprise Miguel with the sudden increase in accuracy. The ZAFT mobile suit stumbled for one step, before it was kicked in the back by the Avenger where Kira punched the GINN in the face.
The GINN flew back thanks to the gravity of the colony while the Avenger sidestepped to avoid a collision as the GINN smashes into another building.
Kira immediately started making use of the time he just gave himself to begin a major overhaul of the Strike's OC. "Take the calibrations and reset zero-moment point at CPG. Connect control module to quazi-cortex molecular ion pump. Rebuild neural-linkage network. Update meta-motor cortex parameters. Restart feet forward control. Transfer functions."
"What's with this guy? How is he moving better?" Miguel asked as he stood before he looked at both the Strike and the Avenger that stood next to it while the Origin and Exia Noir approached the Avenger.
Miguel switched the sword for his rifle and started firing at the Strike and Avenger but the Origin got in front of the Avenger and three fin funnels materialized in front before they made a triangular shield deflecting the bullets while most struck the Strike, but not damaging the armor before said mobile suit flew into the air. Miguel noticed it and focused on the G-Weapon.
"Weapons?" Kira muttered, looking to see what he had but to his surprise all he had were the head Vulcans and Armor Schneider combat knives.
"Armor Schneider? That's all there is?!" Kira cried out in surprise.
Miguel kept shooting before he heard a voice shouting, "Hey, fuck-face!"
The GINN turned to see the AGE-Blitz fly at it, kicking said GINN in the face before transforming into its G-Ceptor Form and flew away.
"Hah! My Gundam is way better than those GINNs!" Jarod cried with excitement as he flew in the colony while the Strike took out its knives.
"Damn these guys!" Miguel shouted as the GINN crashed onto the ground before shooting at the Strike which also hit the ground before it charged at the GINN, dodging the bullets.
"Damn piece of Earth trash!" Miguel shouted in anger.
"No, don't do it here!" Kira shouted before boosting the Strike towards the GINN.
Miguel kept firing until a beam struck the rifle.
"What the?!" Miguel cried out in surprise before his external camera caught sight of the Origin holding a GN Sniper Rifle in its hands. Miguel drew his sword but the Strike was already on him, plunging one knife into his GINN's right shoulder while the other went right into its neck causing sparks to fly in both areas before the machine went limp.
Miguel did a quick analysis only to find that his mobile suit was useless. Miguel activated the self-destruct before he flew out of the GINN but the woman noticed it.
"This doesn't look good! Step away from the GINN!" The woman shouted but Kira didn't react in time before the Avenger flew in once Ben saw what was happening and pushed the Strike back before bringing up his shield as the GINN exploded but the shockwave shook the Strike causing the woman to crash her head on the cockpit wall, knocking her out.
Outside Heliopolis
"Firing main guns!" said Joker before firing another barrage of beams that crippled a Laurasia frigate, leaving only three more ships but a Nazca was disabled via gun turrets and missiles while the functional five GINNs and two CGUEs continued to fight the Normandy's Gundams but in another area, the Earth Forces controlled vessel lost control when a GINN damaged the ship causing it to crash into Heliopolis while the two Moebius units were destroyed, leaving only the Moebius Zero as the only surviving mobile armor in combat.
"Can't we do anything about this difference in battle strength?" Mu muttered before the GINN that was tailing him lost its boosters and head from a few beam shots, crippling the machine.
"What the?" Mu turned around and saw the AGE-Extreme fly around the battlefield either avoiding bullets and missiles or shooting and cutting off body parts from mobile suits but what caught his attention was the Normandy.
"It's that ship from Junius Seven." Mu muttered before the Dark Deathscythe smashed a CGUE into the wall and fired its head Vulcans at the CGUE's head then slashed off its legs, leaving the mobile suit defenseless.
A GINN fires on him as Mu avoids the bullets before deploying all four mobile turrets and while the GINN was focused on him, the mobile turrets destroyed its rifle before both the Moebius Zero and its mobile turrets fired as the GINN drew its sword, destroying its right arm which held the sword.
The GINN fell back away from the mobile armor while also avoiding the Gundams.
Vesalius
"The Talon has been disabled and Olor's mobile suit has taken damage. Emergency landing, fire crew to B-Deck!" one of the operators said.
"In a simple battle such as this, Olor has taken damage and those Gundams from the Normandy has disabled many of our mobile suits." Ades quietly said looking at the battle.
"From the looks of it we have an unforeseen problem. A rather annoying fly buzzing around." Rau said.
"Huh?" Ades asked confused.
"Laser Beacon detected from Miguel Aimen. It's an emergency!" A pilot said over the comms.
"If that weapon's effective enough to take out Miguel's mobile suit, it's all the more reason why we can't neglect that last one." Rau said as he left for the mobile suit hanger.
Outside Heliopolis
The battle continued on with ZAFT taking more loses.
"Targeting Nazca-class!" Another round shot from the Normandy but this one grazed a Nazca destroyer by just a little before two green flares and one red flare shot off in space before every GINN, CGUE, and functional ZAFT vessel retreated.
"Did we win?" Alyssa asked.
"I think we did." Braydin replied with a smile.
"Why is it that bad guys always think they can win against the good guys?" John asked before the Gundams took notice of the Moebius Zero.
"Their retreating?" Mu asked before he looked at the Gundams before feeling something strange. "But there's still something, what's this?"
Mu took his Moebius and flew towards the source of this feeling.
"It seems Mu's off to confront Rau..." Aiden said.
"You're right about that. Joker just called about a Nazca launching a CGUE and both it and the Moebius Zero are heading for one another." John said.
"John, you're with me. Alyssa, you and Aiden head back to the ship and get the Normandy prepped to move." Braydin ordered.
"Okay and be careful, Braydin." Alyssa said with a hint of worry before the Zen Master and AGE-Extreme flew back to the ship.
"You got that feeling too?" John asked.
"Yeah, this never happened before. Hey, Joker, I think we may need you to go into the colony soon." Braydin said.
"Uh... are sure that's a good idea? Because having a warship inside a space colony is probably going to get us in a lot of trouble." Joker replied.
"Yeah but that feeling I'm getting is putting up warning signs all in my head." Braydin said before the Booster Altron and Dark Deathscythe shot off after the Moebius Zero.
Heliopolis Interior
The Strike, Origin, Exia Noir, Avenger, and AGE-Blitz sat in a kneeling position with the Strike's Phase Shift off and everyone looking at the five mobile suits.
The crew of the Normandy built a makeshift medical tent and place Murrue on one of the beds. They were able to patch up the wound mainly because it was just a flesh wound even though it was bleeding badly.
Murrue groaned before she slowly opened her eyes.
"Well I see you're finally awake," said Miriallia, who had been Murrue's nurse. "Hey, Kira!"
Kira came over and saw Murrue hurt herself a bit from trying to move her injured arm. "You're better off lying still for now." The woman would be alright but she needed to rest a bit as evidenced by her slightly flushed face. "I do owe you an apology. I guess I kind of got carried away in there." Miriallia brought some water and offered it to Murrue, who gladly accepted. There was a bit of an interruption when Murrue and Kira heard a voice from Cagalli shouting.
"Hey, you idiots! Get out of that machine, it's not a toy!" Cagalli shouted.
"Aw, come on, we're just getting a better look at this so called 'Gundam.'" Tolle said as he messed around with the controls for the Strike.
"She's right and also I would advise you stop because I think the woman who is on the bed is grabbing a weapon." Dexter said as Murrue tool out a gun before she shouted. "Keep away from that machine!"
A gunshot against the mobile suit made her point abundantly clear.
The boys were afraid but Cagalli and the crew of the Normandy were enraged while the girl stared down the approaching woman. "What the hell do you think you're doing shooting a gun like that!? What if you hit someone!?"
Kira's attempt to get the woman to put down the gun was gentler. "Please stop, they're the ones who carried you out while you were unconscious."
That didn't convince Murrue as she turned her gun on Kira.
"I am grateful that you saved me," said Murrue sincerely. "But you kids have been exposed to a top military secret. It's not something civilians should be handling carelessly."
"Carelessly!?" Cagalli cried in indignation. "Compared to the way you were handling it, Kira was better and those four over there were even greater pilots!" she motioned to the four Gundam pilots.
"Thanks for the praise and also I'd advise you to lower the weapon." Dexter said before the woman pointed the gun at him but he wasn't fazed because of his numerous times in battle when it seemed he had been staring Death in the face.
"And why is that?" Murrue asked before she hears a voice behind her say. "Because you wouldn't want to make us angry,"
Murrue turned around to see Chris and Ben aiming their rifles at her.
"Now, ma'am, I'm going to ask you to put the gun away and we can talk like regular decent people and not cavemen." Chris said and Murrue reluctantly did so not wanting to get shot by both stolen ZAFT weapons.
"Well now that that's done, we can talk like civilized people." Ben said as he and Chris lowered their rifles.
"Names Chris Alder or Chris if you like," Chris said shouldering his rifle.
"Ben Alder is the name and it's nice to meet you, miss." Ben said with child-like smile that Murrue secretly thought was adorable.
"Dexter Walker, ma'am," Dexter said as he leaned against the Exia Noir with his arms crossed.
"Jarod Walker, residential madman." Jarod said before he fell to the ground from a tennis ball that Dexter kept on his person to strike his brother.
"You guys gonna introduce yourselves or what?" Chris asked.
"My name is Sai Argyle."
"I'm Kuzzey Buskirk."
"My name is Tolle Koenig."
"I'm Miriallia Haw."
"Kira Yamato"
Cagalli was the last to go and they just looked at her, waiting for the answer even though she was hesitant to reveal her name. But it couldn't be avoided, so she dug into one of her pockets and pulled out a ring. "Cagalli Yula Athha."
"And my name is Murrue Ramius an Earth Alliance officer. It pains me to say it but you will have to stay with me at all times."
"What?" was the collective response of the group, minus the crew of the Normandy,
"Despite the circumstances the fact is you have all witnessed a highly classified military project. And until I am able to notify the appropriate authorities, who will then determine how the situation is to be handled, you have no choice but to remain with me at all times." Murrue stated.
"Hate to break it to you, but the Origin, Exia Noir, Avenger, and AGE-Blitz belong to us." Jarod said catching her attention.
"What?" Murrue said confused.
"We snuck our mobile suits inside Morgenroete because we knew for a fact that ZAFT would come and take the G-Weapons. So basically, we don't give a fuck what you say." Chris said but before Murrue could say anything Tolle shouted, "That's crazy! It's the biggest joke I've ever heard!"
"You'll do as I say," Murrue said forgetting what the red-eyed teen was saying.
"In case you haven't noticed, we're citizens of Heliopolis, so we're neutral. We have nothing to do with the military or anything associated with it." Sai said as Chris just rolled his eyes.
"He's right." Kuzzey said.
"What are the Earth Forces doing in Heliopolis in the first place? Even that doesn't make any sense." Tolle said.
"You said it, I mean isn't this how it all started?" Kuzzey asked before everyone flinches when they hear a loud bang.
"They turn to the source to see Dexter with his shotgun aimed into the air with its barrel still smoking.
"Now that I have your attention," Dexter said, pumping his shotgun and removing the spent cartridge. "It doesn't matter now since ZAFT is so determined to take the Strike and were even willing to attack us even before they found out we were here. They won't give a rat's ass who is caught in the crossfire if it means killing the 'Naturals' to them."
"Ms. Ramius, I'm going to have to ask you what to do since you have the most experience with the Strike." Dexter said, surprising the woman.
Outside Heliopolis
In space outside Heliopolis, the Moebius Zero flew around but as it did, Mu saw two mobile suits approaching but to his surprise they were the Booster Altron and the Dark Deathscythe that fought off the ZAFT mobile suits.
"Who the hell are those guys, are they here to help?" Mu muttered before his radio blared and he heard a voice shout, "Watch out to your right!"
"What?!" Mu shouted before looking in time to see a white CGUE pop out of cover before Mu dodged the bullets.
"Bastard, is that you Rau Le Creuset?" Mu asked before he launched two mobile turrets.
The Moebius Zero engages the CGUE before the Booster Altron and Dark Deathscythe enter the fight.
"You always seem to get in my way Mu La Flaga though I imagine you'd probably say the same thing about me!" Rau said before he moved his CGUE in order to avoid the Booster Altron's Dragon Fangs and a slash from the Dark Deathscythe's beam scythe.
"And you apparently have some back up from the Golden Dragon and the God of Death." Rau said before he shot off into the colony.
"Uh, he's gone into Heliopolis!" Mu grunted.
"John, call the Normandy and alert them to this problem." Braydin said.
"I'm already on it." John responded.
The Moebius Zero retrieved its mobile turrets before it shot off into the colony with both the Booster Altron and Dark Deathscythe following after him.
Normandy
"They went into the colony and are asking for assistance?" Alyssa asked.
"Yeah, Chris, Dexter, Ben, and Jarod are inside the colony so they may be in trouble. We might need to find a way in before we can follow that request." Joker replied.
"Well this shit just keeps getting better and better." Aiden muttered as the Normandy flew through the crippled and disabled ZAFT vessels and mobile suits.
Heliopolis Interior
Everybody was doing different tasks with Chris trying to contact the Normandy while Kira tried to contact any Earth Forces vessel.
A large trailer drives up as Sai comes out of the driver's seat and approaches the still wounded Murrue saying, "The number five trailer, that's the one you asked for right?"
"Yes, that's right thanks for the help." Murrue said in gratitude.
"So what's next? What are we supposed to do for you now huh?" Sai asked while Jarod tried to take a nap on the AGE-Blitz's leg only for Dexter to knock him onto the ground and start stomping on him.
"Can you please get the Striker pack? Once that's done, Kira try to contact them one more time." Murrue said as Kira nodded his head and went back to the Strike.
Chris walked up saying, "There's still some interference but I think ZAFT is still in the area."
"That's not good." Murrue said with a hint of worry before she felt a slight pressure on her lap only to see Ben sleeping like a cat.
"Heh, looks like Ben's found a mother figure." Chris stated as he watched Murrue blush a bit when the silver-haired boy snuggled deeper into her lap while Miriallia could help but 'awe' at the adorable sight.
"Why would he think I'm his mother?" Murrue asked uneasily as she looked down at the sleeping boy.
"I guess it's because you sort of remind us of our mother." Chris said with a sad smile causing Murrue's eyes to widen in shock.
"It's true... me, Kira, and the rest of us heard the story. Apparently, when they were young, their mother was killed during a bank heist and ever since then they were sent to a foster home. Their father was killed during a terrorist bombing so essentially they had no one until they met the Walker brothers and ever since then they became close like actual brothers." Miriallia said with a brief gleam of tears before she wiped them away.
Murrue felt her heart ache when she heard this. To think that two boys had to witness their mother dying in front of them... it just felt wrong to her. The brown-haired woman looked down at the sleeping figure of Ben then began to softly stroke his long silver hair as a small smile etched itself on her face.
"I better get back to work. Can't be rescued if we're just standing around," Chris said as he made his way back to the Origin.
Murrue looked back down at the Avenger pilot still stroking his silver hair before a single thought ran through her head, 'A mother huh?'
Heliopolis Interior
In the corridors of Heliopolis, Rau and Mu engaged in a dog fight with Rau's CGUE having the advantage due to mobility.
"Why in this place?" Mu asked aloud, firing twice but the CGUE dodged them.
"Mu, I'd actually be pleased if you vanished right about now!" Rau said as he fired at Mu's Moebius Zero striking the top mobile turret.
The Moebius Zero detached the turrets before the top one exploded but as it separated the turrets, the CGUE flew right in front of him with its sword in hand.
"Hey jackass!" A shouted drawing the attention of both pilots.
"DIE!" John shouted as the Dark Deathscythe flew down with its beam scythe blazing before the CGUE's physical blade and the Dark Deathscythe's beam scythe clash with sparks flying everywhere.
"The God of Death to what do I owe the pleasure of this confrontation?" Rau asked curiously.
"I'm here to reap your soul!" John shouted as the Dark Deathscythe kicked the CGUE back before firing its head Vulcans at it, forcing Rau to fly away.
"Hey pilot, you alright?" John asked Mu.
"Yeah I'm good and thanks for the save." Mu said with a smile under his helmet.
"Worry about that white CGUE first!" Braydin shouted as the Booster Altron flew past them.
"Right, my bad!" John shouted before the Dark Deathscythe and the Moebius Zero flew off to give chase to the CGUE.
Mu had his last mobile turret fly in front of the CGUE and shoot it but Rau moved around the beams and smashed the turret, destroying it before Mu, John, Braydin, and Rau flew around each other, exchanging fire, trying to strike the other.
"Damn, he's trickier than I first thought!" Braydin shouted as he threw another Dragon Fang while John shot his Vulcans, both attacks being avoided by the CGUE.
The Booster Altron boosted towards the CGUE before both mobile suits clashed blades, spinning around.
Heliopolis Interior
The Strike with its Phase Shift still off approached the trailer before it went to one knee with its back to said trailer as it opened to show heavy weapons.
Kira opened the cockpit before climbing out saying, "The power pack, which one is that?"
"The weapons and power pack are integrated, mount the whole unit!" Murrue said making sure that he heard her while she continued to stroke a sleeping Ben's head.
"I wonder if my father and the others made it to the shelters." Sai quietly said.
"I'm sure they did." Dexter said, patting Sai on the shoulder in order to brighten the mood.
"I want to hurry up with this and go home." Kuzzey said only to receive a smack to the back of the head by Jarod who said, "Stop whining, if you rush it then you'll just ruin it."
Dexter responded to his brother's idiotic attempts by punching him in the back of the head but before he could further Jarod's torture; an explosion drew everyone's attention where they turn to see Rau's CGUE still in a blade lock with the Booster Altron.
"What the hell? What is that thing?" Tolle asked surprised.
"The Booster Altron and the Dark Deathscythe are here!" Chris shouted as he ran to the Origin while Dexter, Jarod, and an awoken Ben ran to their respective mobile suits.
Inside the CGUE, Rau sees the mobile suits and said, "Hmm, so that's the final unit and it seems the rest of the Gundams are here as well."
"The final unit!" Mu grunted with his sight mainly on the Strike.
The CGUE kicked the Booster Altron back and flies at the Strike only for the AGE-Blitz to crash into it.
"Mount the whole unit before it's too late!" Murrue shouted with a hint of worry.
The CGUE flew back away from the AGE-Blitz only to raise its shield in order to block a volley of bullets from the Dark Deathscythe's Vulcans while the Moebius Zero tried to shoot it only for Rau to cut the tip of his Moebius Zero's weapon, leaving the mobile armor defenseless.
The CGUE flew towards the Strike as it loaded the Striker pack on, avoiding the beams shoot from the Gundams that carried them.
"I'll take you down now while I have the chance!" Rau shouted as the CGUE drew closer.
"Stop it!" Kira shouted in worry before the entire Striker pack attached and he activated the Phase Shift in time before standing up.
As the CGUE drew closer, a large area of the colony exploded, catching everyone's attention.
"What?" Rau said shocked before to everyone's surprise, a white and red legged ship flew out from the smoke.
Chris watched as this happened as only one thing came out of his mouth, "Archangel."
