Gundam 00: Phoenix
What is Done is Not Forgotten
Middle East, September 1, Azadistan Border
A small contingent of troops marched through the widened crevice in the side of a large worn hill covered while the rolling winds kicked up sand that swept through the hillside without end.
Several troops watched from hidden positions that had been carved into the hillside while other remained hidden in the open with their cloaks hiding them from those that may be watching from above.
One of the troops on duty was Viper who kept his balaclava wrapped tightly around his head and his goggle around his eyes as he observed the small group of troops entered who were back from patrol. The weather in this region had been miserable and the vast quantity GN Particles which were blowing off in the horizon did not help for the GN Particle Dispensers marked where Federation force lay who were guarding the dispensers from any attack that could occur.
Fortunately the UN's numbers were relatively small and spread out over a large area busy searching for Katharon forces in the region which drew attention away from the Azadistan border.
Turning his head, he looked towards a nearby village which lay in ruin– a victim of the Solar Power Wars. He would be going there soon along with several other men to sit and watch the situation, but Viper knew all they would be doing was making sure new recruits weren't going to run off or slacking off.
There had been little action if any within the Middle East area and with the Federation situated in the area it was rightfully so. They just didn't have the firepower to fight either mobile suits or their land battleships that rove around the region in search of terrorist, but that could be changing with the orders from the top to mobilize their forces hidden across the globe to put a fight to mainly the A-Laws and soon they would all be back in action.
The question would be, would the new troops be able to handle this kind of situation? They had many veterans since Arvineo, but that was about it and the new troops who have filled the ranks over the past four years were eager for action against A-Laws, perhaps too eager for their own good...
Things would have to be decided on the battlefield, however before any real judgment could be passed, maybe he would be surprised by the motivation coupled with the training the recruits have received– or maybe he would be seeing a regretful sight.
He was about to head back inside their hidden base to grab his gear and get his small team ready to head out to the village until someone tapped him on the shoulder grabbing his attention.
"Daniel, we've got new orders," his spotter Josh said to him as he handed out a data pad to him. "It's from the top brass, means that something big is about to go down," the man then added.
Staring over the information the data pad, Viper gave a quick nod and handed the data pad back. "Alright, we best hurry then. Feddy and Alley wants a show then it's a show they'll get."
Josh nodded his head before heading back in with Viper taking one final look at the GN Particle Dispensers in the region before heading inside. It was time to see if A-Laws and the Federation troops were ready for something then just mere terrorist.
United Kingdom, September 1, Scotland
Standing at the door of an old friend's house Wesker pressed the doorbell and waited to see if there was a response from anyone inside.
The community around the area was relatively quiet and lacked the noises of the city being located, but it at least had everything it needed from electricity and clean running water to a train station that connected the place with the rest of the United Kingdom.
The turn knob turned and a moment later the door opened wide revealing his old friend Kail, dressed in a sweater vest, who was utterly surprised to see his former leader at his door.
"Wesker, it's been such a long time since I've seen you," Kail said as both men politely shook each other's hand. "Voice mail and letters don't really replace the sight of seeing you. You haven't changed much over the years."
Wesker took the compliment with gratitude. "Well I've seen you have changed much, however. I see you're adapting well to a regular life. If I were to look at you as a stranger I would just think you would be an ordinary man, never having set sights on a rifle let alone the battlefield."
A small figure then emerged behind from Kail. Wesker looked to see a small boy at the side of Kail's leg with brown hair and wide blue eyes staring at him with a curious look.
"Daddy, who is that man?" the boy asked Kail, still staring at Wesker.
Kail rubbed the boys head. "It's Uncle Wesker, Richard."
"How come Uncle Wesker is wearing those funny glasses when it's dark, daddy?"
Upon the boy saying those words, Wesker took his glasses off and kneeled to the boy's level. "You can say that because I rather enjoy wearing them. Not because they make me look scary or funny as you say it." He then handed it to the child. "You can try them on if you like; in fact, you can keep them if you want to."
Richard took the glasses from his hand and stared at the glasses before attempting to try them on as Wesker got back up and Kail showed him inside.
They headed towards the living room and sat down on opposite couches, with Kail getting comfy on the couch before finally being ready to discuss things.
"I'm guessing you're here to call me back in," Kail said, only to be surprised with Wesker shaking his head solemnly in response.
"Not at all Kail, I just came here to say hello and see how you were doing ever since you left four years ago," Wesker replied back before a middle-aged brunette woman with blue eyes entered the room.
"Wesker," the woman said, surprised just as Kail was upon first sight. "What pleasure do we owe your visit all the way here?"
"Just saying hi Charlene and making sure you and Kail are all alright," Wesker responded with the raise of his hand before he turned to look at Richard who was walking around the house wearing the sunglasses he had given him. "I see the Richard has been growing up quite well since the last time I was here. So how is he doing?"
"He's doing well, in fact better then that he's a great kid, Wesker." Kail could then only give a grin. "Wouldn't trade him for anything in the world, he and Charlene make my life complete even after everything I've been through. Really, I'm content just to see him grow up and live the rest of my days with my wife. Couldn't be a happier man then that."
Wesker gave a weak chuckle as he looked up at Charlene. "I don't want to be mean or anything, but I thought you two marrying and being former military members back in the Rising Phoenix wouldn't work out, those things usually don't. Never thought Kail would be one to get so lucky to get a woman like you while the dashing captain who did everything for him continues to work to misery," he said jokingly with a laugh causing the other two to give a chuckle as well.
The soft footsteps of the child then were heard before Richard appeared and got on the couch his father was on and tugged at his collar. "Daddy, can we go play outside? You said we would play yesterday, but you went to sleep," the child said in his soft voice to Kail who grabbed the kid and raised him over his shoulders.
"Alright then, let's go while there still some daylight left," Kail announced to the child causing his face to beam as to two left the room, Kail making train noises as he shuffled across the floor.
Wesker got up and followed Kail as did Charlene before they stepped onto the back porch and watched Kail chase after his child who ran playfully across the grass screaming uncontrollably in joy all the while.
"You know," Kail began, looking at his friend and former comrade. "I've never really seen him this happy in all his life." Wesker eyes continued to follow his friend and could only give a smile upon the sight.
Kail's wife then turned to him. "I guess you're all the way out here to inform us about what you're about to do? We've all seen the news about yesterday and what happened at Proud."
Wesker gave a sigh and turned his head to face her. "I wish I wasn't and instead would be here just to visit, but yes, the Rising Phoenix is going back into action," Wesker said in a relatively soft, low tone. "With how things are going in the Middle East and the A-Laws around, the world just is not the safe heaven we wished it to be after all these years."
Wesker then turned his head and the smile returned. "But don't worry, I'm not here to take the happiness he has here with you and his son. It's the last thing his best friend could do and I owe him that much if not more after all these years."
Earth's Orbital Ring, September 1, Ptolemaios II
The 00 Gundam was probably the most stubborn machine Nena had ever saw to get it to work. A three-hundred year old computer would probably have a better chance of starting up then the 00.
She had worked on the recalibrations with Ian on the Twin Drive System, but nothing seemed to work and Trans-Am was too risky. They couldn't afford to lose even a single GN Drive due to an accident that could occur if they attempted Tran-Am.
"I think that's all we can do for now. We've attempted to recalibrate it at least a dozen times and we still can't hit the eighty-percent mark let alone breaking the seventy-three percent barrier. I guess we'll try another time when we return to the base. Maybe I could come up with something that would finally get this right. We're only ten percent away," Ian sighed, disgruntled by the copious amount of time spent on the 00 only for the same results.
Stretching in her chair, Nena yawned and got up and headed towards the door.
"I think I'll be leaving to finally get some sleep. We've been at this ever since Setsuna got back," Nena told Ian who let her leave without a word. He too was tired of trying to get the system to work for the day.
When she stepped out of the bridge Nena headed down the hallway, but it wasn't to her room as she had originally said. She needed to know a few things before she finally got some shut-eye.
The trip was relatively short as she came upon one of the rooms used to hold detainees aboard the Ptolemaios and only one was occupied at the moment which made finding that man named Saji incredibly easy.
Placing her had against the switch she waited the door to open before entering only to suddenly be shoved against the wall by the man before his hands were against her neck all while the Haro cried out for him to stop in the background.
"Just how could you do something like that?" Saji screamed as his gripped slightly tightened. He must of looked into the database about the Thrones and about her. "You ruined Louise's life just because you weren't happy with your own? Who the hell do you think you are by taking people's lives over a simple manner of others having fun while you're not?"
Surprisingly after those word Nena felt his grip around her neck loosen before he then let go and backed off. "You deserve to die after what you've done and I would kill you, but I'm no murderer. Even if the person who ruined the life of the one I loved is standing right infront of me," Saji then tightened his fists as Nena saw a tear grace down the side of his cheek, " but I just wouldn't be able to look at myself again if I did what you people do. Senseless murder."
Nena didn't attempt to hide anything as this was all her fault as she spoke up."You have that right to kill me," she said in a sad, understanding tone. "I've killed alot of people, but that incident I can't ever forgive myself for even after all these years. Which I why I'm here with Celestial Being."
"Just so you can make the world worse with similar things you did? I've learned about you and your brothers and what they did. Personally, you should have died." Saji shook his fist at her before lowering it. "It doesn't make sense that a mass murderer, a monster, like you is still alive and with Celestial Being after all that you have done."
Nena gave a very weak smile upon hearing those words. "I agree with you there. I shouldn't be alive after what has happened, but since I'm still alive I may as well try to make up for what I did. It won't make the regret and pain go away, but at least I know that I'm trying to fix my mistakes, somehow." She then took a pause while Saji continued to look at her with a glare. "I don't care I'm never forgiven; I made the choice to pull the trigger and I will live with it."
"You're still a sick twisted person, no matter what you say," Saji responded back in a low voice. "The fact you're here with Celestial Being doesn't make it seem like you've changed. Only more people are going to get killed whether it's directly caused by you or it's because the government takes drastic because of your armed interventions. You're still a murderer."
Nena leaned against the wall with a sigh and then changed the subject, hoping it would answer her other question even if it was full of hate. "I met a girl in Spain five years ago, only survivor of the incident, do you know who she is? I never had time to find out for myself because...it brings nightmares every time I think about it, but I want to know her name for future reference."
"Her name is Louise Halevy," Saji reluctantly answered her, but didn't go on about anything else about the name for he sat down in the corner and turned towards the small terminal he had been given.
Halevy, that name is so... She stopped her thoughts and wondered if the person with the name she heard over the intercom belonged to the girl she had seen four years ago. The name was exactly the same in pronunciation from two different speakers.
Immediately she understood why she had heard those words from yesterday. All the hate from the pilot of that GN-X III was because she was the one who had caused all of it. Why did she not figure it out sooner just upon hearing the words of hate being spat out at her?
Looking at Saji she hesitated to say her thoughts to him until she forced herself to say it, even if it meant personal risk, which she didn't care about. "I heard the exact same last name yesterday when I hacked into the A-Laws communications network...if my guess is correct... she's in the A-Laws," Nena managed to murmur causing Saji's eyes to widen.
"You're lying...she would...she would never do something like that..." Saji said in disbelief unsure whether to believe this or not. "How could you be sure it was Louise and not someone else?"
Nena looked down, adverting his gaze. "I'm sure of it; if the machine belonged to her it explains why it kept gunning for me even when her superiors told her to fall back. She even said, 'You're like that one who took everything away' and I could tell it was a young woman, nobody else. You could even check the recordings if you want to find out for yourself."
Saji didn't seem to know what to do other then checking the database and delving into the audio logs of her Vier and sure enough, the audio logs were there including the one that he feared would be in it.
"No way, I can't believe it, I won't believe it," Saji murmured, his hands trailing through his brown hair. "She isn't like that, she wouldn't do things like you claim the A-Laws do. It just doesn't make sense." He then turned and looked up at Nena. "It's all your fault that she's doing in A-Laws!" he shouted angrily. "It's because of you she joined the A-Laws, probably so she could take revenge for her family after all these years! And because of that she could get killed all because Celestial Being is going to start their armed intervention." Saji then began weeping uncontrollably, unwilling to accept what had become of his former love. "Just why do people like you have to exist?" he then screamed.
From that point on Nena knew it was time to leave; in fact, it had probably been time to leave ever since she entered the room, but she needed answers; however, the answers she received were not something she wanted to know now. The girl she had hurt the most was now in the A-Laws and this would complicate things as should didn't think she would be able to even attempt to fight back if they ever met again on the battlefield.
Sealing the room behind her, she still heard the weeping and it almost brought tears to her own eyes if she hadn't held them back.
"You spoke with him didn't you...and you made him cry from what I'm hearing," she heard Tieria say to her without even noticing he was there. "Are you alright?" he then asked noticing the marks around her neck.
"Better than he is," Nena replied, "but he has a reason to cry. One of the voices I heard over the channel at Proud was someone he cared about and now he know that she's in the A-Laws and she's also the person I hurt the most."
"I'm going to guess she's a survivor from you're little crusade since it seems to have affected you in a way," Tieria then said plainly, noticing her current expression and emotions.
Nena nodded in response before she headed off to her room to hopefully get some rest and clear her mind–or suffer the sheer torment she had four years ago in Spain.
Middle East, September 1, Azadistan Border
Several fighter jets soared overhead as GN Particles traced the skies behind them distracting Federation forces from three speeding projectiles flew through the air towards a one of the dispersal towers and impacted at its base causing the tower to fall over with a rumble; the structure dragging up thick, heavy cables and snapping them like twigs before the tower finally settled causing sand to flare up into the air.
Through the scope, Viper gave a rejoicing grin upon seeing the target fall onto the ground with the resulting cloud of sand. It had been awhile since he saw anything like that and although it may seem like a terrorist act, it was for a good cause.
"That is one tower destroyed," Viper's spotter, Josh, enthusiastically announced over the radio. "Nice shooting Battery One."
"This is Battery One, we are ready to fire again, go ahead with coordinates," came the response back to them as Viper set his sights on the next target.
Looking at the paper map laid out for him, he carefully examined the position of the second tower in his line of sight and with its position on the map with the help of his spotter.
Upon recognizing the proper placement of the tower on his map he took the radio from Josh's hands. "Coordinates three-one-four-five, high-explosive, over."
"Roger that, firing high-explosive at coordinates three-one-four-five, standby." A blast could then be heard in the background of the battlefield from the guns in the distance.
The wait did not take long for the shells to strike at the tower causing a repeat of what just happened to the previous tower they had marked.
Before Viper could see where the next tower was or have his spotter confirm it was destroyed, the roar of an engine tore through the air.
The noise that came from above caused Viper to mutter a curse as he looked up. An Ace which just had its left wing torn off spun out of control in their general direction and came dangerously close to the ground.
Both men immediately then ducked down low just before the plane collided with the ground and exploded due to the force of the impact creating a massive fireball which sent debris up into the air and a cloud of dust in all directions.
"This is Zulu-Six, more Federation forces are entering the area, but we've managed to take down towers five and six and hit one of their battleships, we're returning to base to rearm," one of the strike team pilots said through the radio which still clung in Viper's hand."Oh, be warned however, we just spotted a new bogey entering the area, nothing that we've seen before. It`s a blue V-shaped mobile armour which is closing towards the combat zone at incredible speeds, over"
Josh turned to Viper. "A mobile armour? We better hurry up with spotting these towers before it gets here."
Nodding his head in response Viper went back to coordinating with the artillery of the towers' position after he pulled out the map which lay partially buried in sand and patted the sand off.
The cycle that Viper had been following quickly repeated itself with two additional towers falling in quick succession before Viper got up and grabbed everything he had with him–it was time to move to the next area.
"New report people," came their field commander's voice through the radio, "enemy mobile armour has just passed by the area and judging by what units in the field have seen, they say it's driven by GN Particles and is armed with two beam cannons on its back. All units in the field are to avoid engaging the new target until our reinforcements get here."
"We've got reinforcements? Since when did that happen?" Josh asked him finding it strange that they heard reinforcements would at least take over a month.
Viper simply gave an uncaring shrug. "I don't know, but at least more people are coming here to help us out quite quickly. Thought it would be weeks before some guys were given the go ahead to get here."
"How are they managing to pass through Federation nations without being detected? Isn't that why the response was suppose to be slow?"
"Don't know, don't care I–" Viper abruptly ended his sentence mid-way as he heard a massive explosion in the distance and turned in its direction to see the destruction which went skywards.
Up in the sky he saw the mobile armour he had been hearing about pull up from an attack run on where one of their mobile artillery batteries was located before the machine flew off in search of new targets.
Instantly both men began sprinting over the sand dunes to get to the next position before they lost all the artillery which they needed to complete the first the first mission in nearly half a decade.
Moralia, September 1, Cavliea
The city was buzzing with life as people moved in and out of tall buildings while construction work went on in nearly every nook and cranny of the city known as Cavliea and down near one of the bustling sidewalks was Helana walking back home.
Helana had noticed the gradual improvements ever since the Rising Phoenix had disappeared from the eyes of the world and the nose of the UN. The trail had been left so cold that the UN ceased its actions against the Ring Phoenix after two years of zero contact.
As for the current Earth Sphere Federation, it seemed to be doing its job as the standard of living had gone up and her family was no longer stuck in a cramped apartment in a rundown building, although that didn't help the fact her father was very ill at the moment.
Fortunately, she had gone out to get some medicine for him, which came quite cheaply these days. From what she had heard and seen all member nations were distributing what other nations did not have or badly needed and Moralia was one of those said nations as the PMC's dismantled and integrated into the Earth Federation Army which resulted in Moralia's annual income plummeting downwards if it weren't for the Earth Federation helping to rebuild the nation's economy.
Indeed, if it weren't for UN now known as Earth Sphere Federation's, Moralia would have been left off in its miserable state right after the Celestial Being struck, but it did hide the facts of what was going on in the Middle East– or that's what she had heard, but she needed to see it for herself to believe.
She had been in the country for just over four years and she may have regretted the first few years, but she no longer regretted it now with the country flourishing around her and no longer were people being left in a meaningless existence like before.
"Hey, Helana is that you?" she heard a familiar voice from before calling out to her.
She turned her head in the direction to see someone she never expected to see here, it was Daveral.
From what she saw, he had grown slightly taller and was abit broader, but his clothing style had completely changed for he wore black dress paints with a light blue buttoned shirt.
"Daveral, what are you doing here?" Helana asked the young man in surprise who came up to her.
"Just working on one of the projects here." Daveral pointed towards one of the apartment complexes under construction. "Helping with the designing and management on getting this all done by the end of fall, hopefully. It's really been hard work, but I guess that's life here in Moralia at the moment until recently." He then turned back to her. "So what have you been up to these past four years?" he then asked her curiously.
"I've been helping my parents for the most part, nothing anything special really, although I'm thinking about becoming a musician," she replied back modestly.
Daveral seemed slightly surprised by her answer as he looked at her for a moment. "Hm, I never would have suspected that from you. Well I wish you good luck on that and hope to hear something from you in the future," Daveral said with a smile before he then turned his head back to the building he had pointed at. "My breaks just about up so I'll see you later some time and maybe catch up over the past few years if that's alright." He then passed her a contact card before heading off.
That was the first time ever she had spoken about what she really wanted to do in the future to someone. Onboard the Phoenix nobody knew about this and she had never given a hint about it since she was so wrapped up with what was going around her, but she really did have an interest in music.
She had once been to a classical music concert when she was little, about five or six years old, and the pieces that were played were something that made life seem like it was enjoyable, even in the miserable city. It was the only one she had seen until she ran away, but the memory left its mark in a good way.
The singing of the strings to the chime of bells to the voice of the piano were just so rich in sound and mesmerized her ears to the sensation and made her dream of a better future and maybe she could be like those performers up on stage. And with the improvements in the city she could make that fantasy become reality.
She had been taking lessons ever since she had gotten back for the piano and she was quite good at it from what instructors had told her, catching up to those two to four years ahead of her and she could practice since her parents did have a piano, a relic from generations passed that had been used for nothing more than a table top until her return. Thankfully, when she was not helping her parents with work she practiced and it was all she would usually do since there was just not much else she was interested in and her parents liked it to say the least.
Just then, she realized that she had to get home causing her to stop day dreaming and to make sure her father got better and would remain that way until he saw the day where she might be up on stage.
Earth's Orbital Ring, September 1
The Vier and Seravee left the Ptolemaios II in a hurry to intercept six A-Laws mobile suits heading in their direction.
"Just how the hell did they find our location?" Nena said, surprised by the fact an attack was coming at them and they were at a fairly far distance away from Earth and any patrol ships in the area
"I don't know, but we we've got to defend the Ptolemaios by ourselves. The main weapons aren't fully calibrated and Ian is still working on the 00, which we can't rely on."
Nena nodded her in response as her Gundam stopped a fair distance off away from Ptolemy with Seravee to form a screen against the incoming attackers.
Zooming in on the machine she spotted five GN-Xs and two Aheads racing towards them causing her to tighten her grip against the controls to stop her slight shaking that had strangely come up. It wasn't the fighting she was worried about, but one of those machines could possibly belong to Louise Halevy which would make this problematic for her psyche.
This fear caused her to immediately hack into A-Law's communication channel to listen in on their comm. chatter and hopefully figure out if Louise Halevy was here or not.
While tuning in she noticed a mission plan appear on her screen happening in approximately thirty-two seconds, a plan made to divert the enemy and delay them as long as possible so Setsuna all the way here and pilot the 00 Gundam.
"This means Setsuna did get Mrs. Sumeragi back after all," Tieria said with abit of pleasant smile.
"It'll be the first time I'm working with her, so I hope she'll accept me, eventually if she's with us for the entire thing," Nena then said before dozens of small missiles raced out from the Ptolemaios' missile racks past both her an Tieria towards the enemy.
The missile detonated, each releasing a small payload of mines that saturated the entire area the A-Laws machines.
The enemy's comm. channel then went live with noise as their pilots were wondering what was going on before a shout of surprise went through as Nena saw a mine damage one of the GN-X IIIs.
"They're disrupting our sensors, are they trying to buy more time?" she heard the A-Laws team leader say. "Adjust course, we'll go around."
The A-Laws machines then began to shift position out of the minefield which resulted in one of their machines exploding which caused a chain reaction in a section of the minefield, though it did not do much else to the other machines approaching.
The Seravee then docked its bazookas with its shoulder cannons and began charging itself to fire.
"Seravee, intercepting targets," Tieria announced as aimed at the approaching A-laws. "Charging with high density compressed particles. GN Bazookas, compressed particle, releasing!" The Seravee then fired both its linked bazookas.
The two beams ripped through the midfield causing one massive chain reactions that resulted in ever mine going off and the beams happened to rip through one of the GN-Xs in the field.
The rest of the enemy's fighting force, however was relatively unfazed as their machines flew through the resulting explosions still heading their way.
"Team two attack the spaceship!" the leader announced. "Lieutenant Alagga and I will handle the artillery Gundam!"
She recognized the team leader's voice from yesterday, but since he only said one person's name, which was likely his comrade at Proud, did that mean Louise Halevy was taken out by the mines or in the second or was she just not here from some apparent reason?
"Tieria!" Nena called out to him, "I'm going to defend Ptolemy, you going to be okay on your own?"
"I'll be fine on my own for now, our main concern is making sure Ptolemy makes it out along with the 00," Tieria replied back as he began firing at the Ahead and GN-X that engaged him leaving Nena to chase after the other three machines which were behind the Celestial Being shuttle.
She quickly turned to her Haro as she pursued the enemy. "Haro, match the mobile suits with the one you hacked yesterday. I want to know if she's here."
"Roger, roger."
The Vier fired a particle beams at the mobile suits causing one of the GN-Xs to turn around and engage to buy time for the other two machines.
"Don't think we'll let you reach your comrades!" she heard a male voice shout at her aggressively as the GN-X began firing concentrated particle beams from its lance.
"You think that's going to stop me?" Nena retorted as the Vier raised its GN Field for a moment before firing at the machine.
"No match found, no match found," her Haro then said to her while her Vier raced passed the GN-X to reach the ship, avoiding most of the particle beams in the process while deflecting the few that got through.
As she trailed back to the ship she saw the Virtue get kicked by the Ahead it was facing sending it back only for Seravee to fire all four cannons at the Ahead causing it to back off and then quickly transitioned one of the cannons into an arm to fight off the GN-Xs that had raised its beam saber for the killing blow from behind.
"Where's 00?" Tieria grunted, unable to keep tabs on both the Ahead and the GN-X.
Heading back to her task, Nena spotted the head and GN-X dangerously close to Ptolemy and then fired her GN Rifle at one of the GN-Xs with the beam striking dead on sending the mobile suit into a fireball.
She then took aim at the Ahead only to then come under fire from the GN-X that was behind which threw its particle disruption smoke bomb that detonated around both of their machines.
"You're not going to get the shot off!" the pilot said before it raised its lance and charged her. "The advantage is mine here!"
Nena scowled. "We'll see about that!" she then shouted.
Immediately Nena launched several missiles from the shoulder pod which trailed towards the machine with all her other weapons useless and there wasn't enough time to hack into the machine's systems.
The missiles, however, failed to hit the GN-X made a sharp turn on its approach causing the missiles to lose track.
Seeing this she backed out of the cloud so she could use her weapons and to her shock and amazement, she saw a massive trail of light emitting from the Ptolemaios's launch deck–was that the 00 Gundam?
"This is 00 Gundam, Setsuna F. Seiei, I'm heading out!" she heard Setsuna announce as the 00 Gundam launched into space revealing itself for all to see.
"It's...It's actually working, so Trans-Am was the solution after all," Nena murmured before she saw the 00 Gundam rip through the Ahead that attempted to engage it.
It wasn't even much of a fight as the 00 Gundam simply deflected the shots with its Twin Drive System which positioned to the front of the Gundam, before closing in and tore through the Ahead with a quick swipe from its GN Sword.
"Oh, wow, that's the power of the Twin Drive System?" she said in amazement. Deflecting particle beams with a field is one, but deflecting them with sheer particle output was something else.
"All units withdraw immediately, we've lost our advantage!" the A-Laws team leader ordered as the three remaining machines pulled out of the combat zone with haste rather than face the wrath of this new Gundam.
