Military Base
October 2, C.E. 73
Jason looks straight at the Impulse and notice how it looks similar to the Strike. Jason briefly wonders if this pilot is as good as the late Kira Yamato had been. While he may have bested the simulation Yamato, he always questions Kira's true strength.
"Why is this happening?" Jason hears Shinn's voice thru the comm.. "Are trying to start another one? Another war?!" With that, the Impulse charges at Gaia with its double swords.
Starting another war? He must be at the same age when Yamato first piloted. Jason chuckles questioning if this was fate or a coincidence as Stella ducks under twin swings from the newcomer, leaping back and firing her CIWS at him. He didn't attempt to dodge or defend, letting his armor take it, and retaliates with a beam rifle. Jason sees that the pilots prefers a full frontal strike method. Sting and Auel joins the fight with Stella, but even they are unable to make a difference.
"Dammit, the suit came at the wrong time. Their suit's power is probably at 25% now.", Jason said as the Impulse throws one of its sword towards the Gaia like a boomerang. The Gaia blocks it with the shield, but the impact forces it back. "Sting, Auel, Stella fall back, I'll deal with him myself get the other mobile suits off my back." Jason charges his Burst Strike towards the Impule.
Outside of Armory One...
Outside of the colony unknown to the ZAFT a ship cloaked in Mirage Colloid closed in on the ZAFT spaceport and nearby vessels. Inside the ship pilot's lounge.
A blonde hair man wearing a white suit, with his face shadowed was playing with a familiar mask. A shot, brown hair man wearing a blue and grey suit sees him doing so.
"You know Law, I don't see why you are wearing that thing.", the pilot said.
"Hard to say, Rick. Is it guilt? Is it because of my blood? Or is it because I merely want to hide my facial scars.", Law answers grabbing the mask and putting it back on. "I might never find the answer."
A long, dark purple hair woman wearing a white and gold suit was reading a novel, but listen in the conversation.
"Attention! Pilots report to your mobile suits for preparation to sortie," a voice over the intercom said.
"Let's move, team!", Law said as they stop what they're doing, grab their helmets and head for the hanger.
Aboard the hidden Girty Lue, Admiral Scirocco glanced at his watch. By now, the Lieutenant Jason and the others should have stolen the machines and would soon be making their escape. "Sir, Team White Hope are ready to launch." one of the Girty Lue's officers said.
Scirocco nods. "Activate Gottfrieds. Load missile tubes with Sledgehammers. Target the port side Nazca-class. Disengage Mirage Colloid as we open fire. Engine to the maximum! Stay sharp people, we're doing the hard part as the ZAFT pilots are veterans. Captain Nataly, if you would please."
The woman nods and makes the command. "Gottfrieds, fire!"
The Girty Lue's Gottfrieds fire, destroying the Nazca-Class with on shot. The Girty Lue's Mirage Colloid deactivated as it let loose a barrage of missiles at the second Nazca-Class catching its attention.
"Alright launch Team White Hope! And fire another volley of missiles at the spaceport to clear a path for Law.", Scirocco orders.
In the hanger the three pilots enter three familiar mobile suit.
"Law Le Creuset. GAT-X131B Blau Calamity Gundam, I'm heading out!"
"Rick Dodger. GAT-X370G Gelb Raider Gundam, launching!"
"Kagura Oakley. GAT-X252R Rot Forbidden Gundam, taking off!"
The ship's hangar doors open. The Blau Calamity, Gelb Raider, and Rot Forbidden launch out of the ship. The Calamity heads for the spaceport while the Raider and Forbidden head towards the damaged Nazca-Class. The Nazca launch two GuAIZ Rs and a CGUE to confront them. From a far distance the Raider shot one of the GuAIZ R down directly towards the cockpit.
The spaceport begins to launch the Laurasia-Class warships to stop the Girty Lue, unaware that the Calamity is coming towards the port at great speed. The Calamity appears in front of one of the Laurasia-Class and fire on the bridge, causing it to lose control and crash into the dock floor. The Calamity fires another shot towards the engines of the second Laurasia-Class, causing it to crash into the spaceport control room. This brought chaos to the outside forces. The Calamity continues firing it's entire arsenal inside.
Armory One...
Everyone inside feels the colony shaking. The Extended realize that their pick-up has arrive. Jason continues to give Shinn a hard time. The Burst use impressive sword skills forcing the Impulse on the defensive.
"Damn, what's with this guy?", Shinn questions as two DINNs open fire on the Burst, but the Abyss shoots them down.
"Sting, Auel, Stella! Head to the rendezvous point.", Jason orders.
"What about you?", Sting asks.
"Unlike you guys, I don't suffer any side effects and besides someone has to watch your backs.", Jason said. "In any case that new machine is something I can't ignore, I'll try to destroy it before time runs out." Jason then notice the Gaia is missing. He then realize that Stella has entered battle lust. "Dammit, now is not the time!"
The Gaia continuously attack the Impulse.
"Stella, fall back!" Jason calls out as he cuts down a GaZUOOT. "That's an order!"
"No! I can beat him! I will beat him!" Stella yells back as she swings her beam saber at the Impulse.
Shinn blocks the saber with one of his own and then slamms his shield into the Gaia's chest. Knocking the black machine back. "Fine then." Auel said with a smirk. "I'll guess you'll just stay here and die!"
Stella freezes. Her eyes widens as her body trembles. "Die... Am I going to die? NO! I don't want to die!" she screams, rushing towards the colony wall.
"Idiot!" Jason shouts as he kicks the Impulse. "Why the hell did you use her block word?!"
"Hey. It got her moving, didn't it?" Auel replies in his defense as he flies off with Sting.
"I'll deal with you later, Auel!", Jason vow as he continues battling the Impulse.
Elsewhere...
A female red coat groans as she returns to consciousness. She remembers being near the hanger where the Gundams are before blacking out. Aside from some scrapes and bruises, she was fine. She got back up onto her feet and looked around.
The area was a warzone, complete with wreckage and bodies littering the area. But she could still hear the sounds of combat. The intruders will still inside Armory One. The red coat knew she need to get to a mobile suit and help stop the theives.
She starts running through the area, looking for a mobile suit that she could use. But the four intruders had been very efficient. Taking out many of the hangars before the pilots could even get to their machines.
'Come on! There has to be something they missed!' she thought as she desperately searched for a usable mobile suit. 'I'll take anything! Even an old GINN!'
She then stops at the she sees. One of the limited production Kampher Blaze, lying half outside a ruined hangar. "For a unit with thin armor, it sure is tough."
She climbs into the cockpit and starts it up. After a brief moment, the Kampher have successfully powered up. The girl pulls the mobile suit back onto its feet. Everything was working properly so far. She quickly checked all of her systems; all green. She then notice this model lacks weaponry other that the CIWs, but learns that this model can carry a large arsenal of weapons and lucky for her they're all over the place.
After taking all the suit can take she hurries to the battlefield, but stops when she spots a group of ZAFT personnel trying to dig out a pair of ZAKUs from underneath a pile of debris. She sees a semi-familiar pair of Red Coats were with them; Rey Za Burrel and Lunamaria Hawke, if she remembered correctly.
"Get out of the way," she said to the people on the ground. "I'll dig them out for you."
The crews quickly backed away from the two machines, allowing her to clear the debris off of them. Rey and Luna both quickly climbed into their machines and powered them up. "Thanks, Sally." Rey politely said to her as his ZAKU Phantom stood up.
"Yeah. Thanks for helping us out.", Luna added as her own red machine got off the ground.
"No problem.", Sally replies as she hands Luna a salvaged beam assault rifle. "Come on. Three of them are already making their escape."
"Right!" both pilots said as they head to the battlefield.
ZAFT Aid Station...
"Who's in charge here?!" Durandal asks as he and four other counsil members approach. "I need a status report now!" Several soldiers shield Durandal from an air wave from and explosive.
A ZAFT officer approached the group. "Chairman, it's not safe here. Toxic gas is being released." the officer said. "Please sir, get to a shelter."
"How can I head for shelter when I don't even know what's going on?!" Durandal argues.
"But sir, at least board the Minerva. There's not much you can do here and if worse comes to worse, the Minerva will be able to get you to safety.", the officer suggests.
Durandal scowls as he glance at the docked warship. "Fine."
Outside Armory One...
The Girty Lue fires it's Gottfrieds towards the helpless Nazca and destroys it. Scirocco checks his watch and notes that Law will be making an escape route for the ones inside.
Back with Shinn...
Jason was impressed that the Impulse's pilot was holding out despite the difficulty he was giving him. "The kid got guts I'll give him that, but he needs skill to take down someone like me." Jason then decide the know the identity of the pilot and turns on visual comm.
Shinn notices the visual comm. starting up and sees the blond hair man on screen.
"So, you're the pilot of that mobile suit.", Jason said impressed.
"Yeah and who are you?", Shinn demands while secretly connecting the line to the nearby mobile suits and Minerva allowing them to hear the conversation.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lieutenant Jason Messa, pilot of the Burst Strike.", Jason answers, which shocks many of ZAFT.
"Did he said, Jason? As in the one from the textbooks?", Luna asks in fear.
"Yeah, Jason Messa, the Demon of Victoria. He took part in retaking Victoria Base in the FBVW and wiped out half the ZAFT force single handedly.", Sally answers. "I never thought he was involved."
"Tell me, boy. Why are you the military? You are quiet young.", Jason asks.
"We're in a middle of a battle and you start asking questions!", Shinn shouts
"You're a soldier here aren't you. If you want to become a true ace, you better learn to have a cool head.", Jason lectures.
"Yes, sir!", Shinn responds. Jason realize what he was doing.
"I'm the enemy here, you idiot!", Jason shouts as he charges. Shinn was caught off guard and was unable to block or dodge the strike, but before Jason could give the finishing blow a ZAKU tackles him to the back. Jason responds by kicking the ZAKU towards a building. Athrun was fine in the pilot's chair, but Cagalli wasn't so lucky as her head slammed against the side of the cockpit and she fell onto Athrun.
"Cagalli!" Athrun shouts in concern. She was unconscious and bleeding from a head injury. He had to get her out of here now. He got the ZAKU back onto its feet and takes off.
Shinn came back to his senses and continue his duel against Jason.
The Gaia, Abyss and Chaos heads towards a distant section of the colony wall, unaware that Rey, Luna and Sally finally caught up to them.
"Come on. We can't let these guys escape." Sally said, taking off after them. Rey and Luna followed her, firing at the fleeing Extended. But a few moments after they took to the air, one of the thrusters on her Luna's ZAKU, explode.
"Lunamaria! Are you alright?" Rey calls out as Luna's ZAKU starts falling back.
"I'm fine. But I can't sustain my altitude."
"There's nothing you can do. Fallback to the Minerva." Rey said.
"Right," Luna said as her red ZAKU pull away from the group.
Outside Armory One...
ZAFT continues to send in squadrons of mobile suits and ships towards the Girty Lue, but the Raider and Forbidden are easily taking them out.
"What's with these machine? They should been out of power by now.", one of the ZAFT pilot said.
The Forbidden suddenly appears behind him and cuts his suit in half.
Elsewhere, aboard the Girty Lue, Scirocco was growing impatient. Law is at the rendezvous point preparing to make a hole at the colony wall, but none of the Extended are in range. Knowing that ZAFT reinforcements will arrive, Scirocco decide to get involve himself.
"Have my JMU-000 Messala Striker prepped for launch. You're in charge until I return" he said, rising from his seat.
Scirocco enters a mobile suit he personally created and launch from the ship. The sudden arrival shocks the ZAFT pilots.
"What it that?"
"A new model?"
"It's even faster than the Freedom!"
Scirocco has his Messala change to MA mode and shoots down a large number of ZAFT mobile suit. "Witness the power of a mobile suit from Jupiter!", Scirocco announce as he continues to gun down the ZAFT forces.
Back with Shinn...
A warning light went off in Shinn's cockpit. The Impulse was running low on power. Fortunately, running low on power wasn't a serious problem for the Impulse. So long as it wasn't cut off from the Minerva anyway. "Meyrin. Launch the Force Silhouette." Shinn said, calling the warship.
"Roger. Launching Force Silhouette now."
A moment later, a flyer was launch from Minerva. Shinn detach the Sword Silhouette and deactivate Impulse's phase shift. The Force Silhouette then attach itself to the Impulse back, boosting the Impulse's battery. Its gray armor turns white and blue. Jason was shocked at what he saw.
'That thing can change it's equipment in mid-battle without a support unit?', Jason thought in surprise. 'Scirocco is going to enjoy this.' Jason then takes off to meet up with the others.
Outside Armory One...
Near the colony wall, Law sees the Extended's mobile suit in his sight. He quickly charges the Calamity main weapons and fire on it. It was too much for much for the wall. It explodes. The ZAFT pilots all gasp as an explosion tore through the colony wall. An instant later, air started being sucked into space. Now having an escape point the trio flees into the gaping hole, escaping into space. Both Rey and Sally struggles to keep their suits under control, when suddenly the Burst Strike flies past them.
"Shinn, Rey, come on. We're not gonna let these bastards go home after all they've done." Sally said, racing after them.
"But we're running low on power. We may not be able to chase after them for much longer." Rey argued. "Plus we don't know what's happening outside. We could be walking into a trap."
Shinn shook his head and follows Sally. "We can't just let them escape. Not after what's happened."
"One thing you need to learn about being a combat pilot Rey, taking risks is part of our job. There's a time for playing it safe and there's time for taking risks." Sally said. "And this is a time to take a risk. If we let them get away here, we may not ever catch them again."
Rey sighs. But ultimately, he follows after his comrades. 'Can't believe I'm agreeing with the Demon of Victoria about Shinn having a hot head'
The Minerva's Bridge...
Talia Gladys, Captain of the Minerva, scowl as they watched the Impulse, ZAKU, and Kampher fly through the hole in the colony.
"Captain!" Meyrin Hawke calla out. "The Impulse is running low on power! Only three hundred seconds at most!"
Talia stood up from her chair. "We cannot afford to lose the Impulse as well. Prepare the Minerva for launch." She turned to the ship's guest. "I trust you don't have a problem with that, Chairman."
"No." Durandal quietly replied. "We really have no other choice at this point."
"Commence Minerva launch sequence." the Minerva's XO, Arthur Trine said over the intercom. "The ship is now switching to combat status."
"Gunnery crews, FCS contact. All personnel set all projectile weapons to Grade One. Maintenance crew finish docking the mobile suits."
Talia turned to Durandal again. "Mr. Chairman, please disembark now."
"No, Talia. This is not a situation where I can just stay behind and wait for reports." he replis. "I have duties along with my authority. I will accompany this vessel. Please allow it. Besides outside is no longer safe with the gas leak."
Talia just shakes her head. There was little she could. If he wish to stay on board, she doesn't have the authority to stop him.
Lunamaria was talking to the maintenance crew to repair her ZAKU as a ZGMF-XX09T DOM Trooper Original Spec Type, three BABIs, ZGMF-X2000 GOUF Ignited, and another ZAKU Warrior lands into the hanger.
"This is call Armory One can spare?"
"The stolen mobile suits destroyed nearly every single one."
Athrun land the damage ZAKU onto the open catapult of the new ZAFT warship, finding nowhere else safe to go due to the gas leak. Cagalli regains consciousness, but was still in a daze and possibly had a concussion. Athrun parks the ZAKU in the Minerva's hangar and opened its cockpit hatch. He and Cagalli left first, riding the cable down to the ground.
"You there! Don't move." Lunamaria orders, a gun trained on them. "Who are you? And how did you get aboard that ZAKU? I can tell neither of you are in the military."
More ZAFT soldiers, as well as members of the hangar crew and six arriving ZAFT pilots gather around her, unsure of what was going on.
"Hey, calm down, Luna," a navy-haired Green Coat, pilot of the DOM, said in a nonchalant voice. "No need to go—"
"Shut up, Gordon!" Lunamaria bark, her gaze not leaving the intruding duo.
"Lower your weapon," Athrun replies. "This is the Chief Representative of Orb, Cagalli Yula Athha. I am one of her attendants, Alex Dino. We were caught up in the commotion during our meeting with Chairman Durandal. And since we were unable to find shelter, we were forced to borrow this machine to protect ourselves."
Luna and the soldiers lower their weapons, shocked that they meet the Lion of Orb's daughter . "Athha? As in Orb's Chief Representative?" a very confused Luna ask.
"The Representative has been injured!" Athrun said. "She needs medical attention. And is the Chairman aboard this ship? If so, we need to see him immediately."
Luna nod. She wasn't really sure what to do. So she figure that she would have to take them to the Captain to get this all sorted out.
Outside Armory One...
As the three ZAFT pilots enter space through the hole, both Rey and Sally notice something strange.
"It's too quiet.", Sally said looking around.
"Yeah, what happened to the ZAFT reinforcements?", Rey wonders. "I heard that four enemy units and a battleship attacking from the outside, but to wiped them all out in such a short amount of time."
"I suspect the pilots that attacked the outside are just as good as the Demon of Victoria.", Sally said with a concern tone. "He's already trouble enough as it is."
Unknown to the three the Messala was spying on them in a far distance. "So this is what was keeping Jason and the extended busy." Scirocco said seeing the Impulse. "It's my fault. I guess two years of peace has dulled my skills."
Meanwhile, Team White Hope escorts the Extended to the Girty Lue, while Jason carries Stella as she was still traumatized.
Seeing that the Girty Lue has finished it's pick up, Scirocco starts his attack. Both Rey and Sally suffers a tingle in their head and notice the Messala approaching.
Shinn, Sally and Rey struggle to evade the beams from the Messala in MA mode pass by. They had all seen the intruders' ship. But there was little they could do while they fought just to evade the beams. "Dammit! Where the hell are all these beams coming from?" Shinn exclaims. "It's just one unit!"
"It's doesn't seem to be equipped with DRAGOONs or Gunbarrels.," Suiren replies. "The only possible answer is that the machine is extremely fast and attacks the moment it turns towards us."
Scirocco smirks. "Since, I'm here I might as well take that machine. I'll enjoy studying it feature. It'll prove useful for my models."
But at that moment, a massive set of doors on Armory One starts to open. Everyone stop and turn to the doors. The doors finish opening, revealing the Minerva. The dock clamps detach themselves from the ship and the Minerva takes off, its wings unfolding.
