The streets were filled with the mob as they stormed through the city towards the UHFS December City Central Office. Black Flag mobile suits stormed the colony and overwhelmed the security forces protecting the Central Office. The rebels handed rioters guns to stand against the riot control squads that took to the streets. Other rebels took to the roofs and armed their RPGs and portable Beam Weapons firing at the security force's Murasames and Windams to support their comrades in the mobile suits.
The security forces tried their best to handle the situation but the odds were stacked against them. Businesses were being looted, innocent families cowered in fear as the mobs broke in and destroyed and stole everything they owned. Office workers in the UHFS building feared for their lives as the rebel forces were pushing towards the main gate of the UHFS building.
The inside of the colony turned into a war zone as the rebels pushed forward. Buildings were set ablaze; sounds of guns, rockets, and mobile suit combat, filed the air; people were yelling; mothers cried; the blood of the security forces and rebels filled the streets. The UHFS staff in the Central Office attempted to evacuate as the rebels broke through the main gate. The sounds of terrible violence rung through their ears as the staff heard the guns blazing and the windows shattering as they made their escape. The mob rushed through the building and began looking for the staff.
"Search everywhere for them," one of the mobsters, "leave none of them alive. The UHFS staff ran through a secret tunnel that lead to an exit where a transport was waiting for them. The staff ran for their lives as they knew that their lives would soon be over if they were caught. The rebels caught up to them, and began firing at the staff as they ran through the tunnel. The ones in the back of the line fell dead as the bullets penetrated them. The guards armed their riot shields and tried to hold the mob back while the rest of the staff boarded the transports to attempt to go to safety.
The remaining staff that boarded the four transports witnessed the last stand of the guards that were assigned to protect them. They took cover behind whatever they could as the rebels stormed the port. Bullets ricocheted off the side of the transports as they were preparing for lift off. The guards returned fire at the rebels taking out a few, but their positions were smoked out by RPG fire and soon they were gunned down. The transports left the dock and began to make their way into space. One of them was shot down as it left the port by a Hunter Missile Launcher.
The remaining three transports attempted to make their escape towards the UHFS Capitol Colony, but were met with resistance. Rebel mobile suits ambushed them. One of the transports was shot down in the initial offensive. A Murasame aboard the downed craft took to the air, and the rest of the mobile suit security force took on the responsibility of making sure they got to their destination safely. The Zakus and the Murasames exchanged fire while the transports got to safety. Out of the several hundred staff members in the UHFS December City Central Office, only a handful survived the attack.
This scene was all to common throughout the UHFS, the people on Earth rallied together and brought the fight to the hundreds of UHFS campuses spread throughout the planet. The original 12 PLANTs and other colonies burned as the flames of chaos raged on. The only place left untouched was the UHFS HQ on Aprilius and the UHFS Sanctuary Colony where those who survived the initial attacks fled. Now on the brink of collapse, the UHFS had two fronts to defend. They had to defend their assets at home, but at the same time they worried about the imminent threat of the Grey Matter closing in on the solar system once more.
The military bases were suddenly running on full capacity. They provided aid to survivors of the initial attacks. Tacticians and generals formed their plans of attack on the rebels, now known as the Black Flag. They soon realized that it would become a harder battle to fight than anything they've ever fought before, because the enemy wasn't just another nation they could pinpoint on the map like past wars. It was a group of people, albeit very small, that first managed to crack they system and then set fire to the civilian unrest. The Black Flag(BF) intermixed their numbers among the general population and became leaders among small groups of insurgents and gave them the means to fight back. Soon they were recognized by the underground of the UHFS.
They all agreed that the BF was a serious threat, but didn't want to implement the necessary means to counter their advances on the UHFS. At first, they thought the best idea was to employ some form of martial law to keep the colonies in check. It was against the philosophy that the republic was built on, some said and others agreed, so the idea was tossed out the window. Day in and day out the military leaders and politicians discussed possible solutions, and day in and day out, the BF grew stronger. Gathering more support as victory after victory flew their way thanks the power of their intelligence unit.
On the political front, the speakers of the UHFS Council went to their respective nations and tried to dissuade their people from joining the BF's forces. These cries only escalated the violence throughout the world. The poorest sections of Earth like Africa and the Middle East joined forces with the BF as they promised a brighter hope for them. Soon the poorest and uneducated classes of each nation in the UHFS rallied with the BF under the clause of a "Future without hunger and despair." Everyday the situation looked grimmer for the UHFS as the BF's numbers increased.
Thanks to the abilities of their team of hacking specialists, the BF managed to obtain tons of information on troop movement and other intelligence necessities. They began their preparations for their final march to overthrow the UHFS. Their engineers worked on their trump card to defeat the UHFS's remaining military forces.
"Gara, Fareed step forward," the big boss said. He handed them the keys to a door. "The door to a new future is now opened, and you two will pave the way for it. Step forward and fulfill the role that Apollo Raynorth could not. Avenge your brother's death with your new found strength." The two young men nodded and proceeded to the hangar door. They inserted the keys into the slot and turned them simultaneously. The hangar opened and light filtered through as the door crept open. Before them they saw what appeared to be two mobile suits. "Standing before you are replicas of the Legend Gundam and the Chaos Gundam, first manufactured during the Second Valentine war, they are now yours. Lead us to the future you desire. I'll have our engineers on standby if you want to change anything."
"Yes Big Boss," they replied. They saluted the man in the big, black trenchcoat, as he left.
"Out of the chaos we will arise as victors, leading the world toward a new age," Big Boss said, "we have the chaos part down, but now its up to you to make us the victors." He stuck a cigarette between his lips and held it there as he lit it. The embers glowed to life as the smoke arose, dissipating into the atmosphere.
