The Empire of Leni was beginning to crumble at this point, their space assets had essentially been reduced to nothing thanks to the loss of the Lola fleet at Gleebar and the capture of the Lori fleet at Klebian IV. They still had major land assets including the Western United States, but these had slowly been ebbed away.

The Empire of Leni had one major naval stronghold outside America, Loch Loud.

Loch Loud had been an staging point for the Leni Forces in their failed invasion of Europe, it's citizens were extremely loyal to the Empire of Leni, having once been ruled by the Loud family as Dukes many years ago.

Duke Duncan of Loch Loud had been appointed by the Loud Family and had pledged his loyalty to the Empire of Leni despite doubts if its an puppet of the Titans.

Dilganese Strategy Room

Dil Pickles was to lead the operation from the background, whilst his Field Generals were to lead the front.

"Angelica and Chuckie , i'm entrusting you to lead this operation" said Dil

"Ok, what forces have we got" said Angelica

"You've got around 250,000 men as well as the Dango's and North Japanese who have provided us with an additional 25,000 men, you've also got around 24 battleships and tons of landing ships" said Dil

"That sounds like enough to succeed" said Chuckie

"You've also got space support from the ACS Phantom, however it will be led by Mashymere as Haman has been granted permission to pursue an diplomatic mission that she desperatly wanted to do" said Dil

"Why did you let Haman pursue an diplomatic mission in times like these" said Angelica

"Because the mission in particular can make us look really good in terms of rehabilitating ex-Zeons as well as rebuilding plans post-war" said Dil

"Ok, which commanders have I got for this mission" said Angelica

"You and Chuckie will lead the charge, Mashymere will be in space as well as the Carmicheal fleet…" said Dil before being interrupted

"Your putting Susie under my command" said Angelica

"Yes as you two work so well together and if you weren't my cousin Angelica, Susie would be higher in rank in you" said Dil

"What are you trying to say Dil" said Angelica

"Your tactics at Klebian IV and trying to demoralise Charlie before battle, Charlie told me everything" said Dil

Dil's tone looked serious

"You told Charlie that the war was his mothers fault and in an tone that made him feel at fault" added Dil

"But I'm not wrong" said Angelica

"I don't care if you are not wrong, I don't want Charlie to feel like he was unwanted and an obstacle to his mothers so-called happy ending, it is what it is and I don't want to hear anymore about it" said Dil

Angelica grunted before saying "What about our allies"

"The Dangos and North Japanese are launching a full scale invasion of Neriema which if taken would virtually cripple the logistics of the New Titans so their is going be limited numbers of them , the Dangos have agreed to send us a squadron led by Ryou Fujibayshi though" said Dil

"So its an Dilganese led operation then" said Chuckie

"Indeed it is, I hope I can trust you Angelica, leading this" said Dil sternly

"Loch Loud will be under our control in no time at all" said Angelica

Meanwhile in Sydney

Many of Sydney's famous rugby league clubs along with most of Australias sports teams in general were faced with immense financial difficulties.

The war had hit Australia hard as the New Titans had took it from the Dilganese very early in the war before the Dilganese seized it around the time of the Recapture of Klebian IV, even so the battle itself saw Sydney essentially turn into an shell of what it was pre-war.

One struggling club in particular was the North Sydney Bears whom long ago were a first-grade Rugby League Side before being forced to merge into Manly in AD 1999 which saw them being booted out of the NRL in favour of Manly 4 years later.

North Sydney saw their ground (North Sydney Oval) being turned into ruins following the New Titans shelling of Sydney.

Haman Karn and Lil Pickles was assigned as part of the Alien Diplomatic Corps with negotiating with North Sydney in terms of adding them to the new Alien Rugby Championship for the first season after the war ends

Lil originally wanted teams from just the Western part of Earth to join (she convinced most of the old Super League and various Rugby Union sides to join), but Haman feeling war guilt over both Operation British (Which saw her version of Sydney destroyed) and her colony drop over Dublin begged Lil and Dil to allow Sydney Rugby League sides to join the Alien Rugby Championship. Lil was apprehensive due to logistics of it all, but Dil believed that it would add more prestige to the league as well as good PR for the Dilganese Empire as a former Zeon helping with the post-war rebuild of Earth.

Haman and Lil arrived what was North Sydney Oval, the ground now consisted of a few intact stands, but there were a few that looked shattered or just ruins.

"This is the club you wanted to save, Haman" said Lil

"Yeah I read some data pads on this team, massive underdogs, were a top flight team for 91 years before circumstances outside of their control ended that" said Haman

"Are you sure about this" said Lil

"Yeah I am sure, I feel even if my actions in the Neo-Zeon war was in a another dimension, I still feel it weights heavily on me and I need to try and learn from all my mistakes" said Haman

Haman and Lil walk and they end up walking inside the main building, it looked like it hadn't been maintained in some time

"It looks like whoever owned this place left when the New Titans invaded" said Lil

"Its shell of what it once was" said Haman

"You've been here before" said Lil surprised

"A long time ago in an another dimension, when I worked for the Intergalactic Research Organisation" said Haman

Flashback

Life felt like it was going really fast for Haman all in a few moments, one moment she was in her Qubeley fighting the ZZ Gundam at the end of the First Neo-Zeon War, after losing the battle and the war, Haman attempted to destroy both herself and her mobile suit. However in an sudden flash, she was in an holding cell on board some futuristic space vessel and were in spacecuffs and had a Anti-Psychic device around her neck.

"Miss Karn, the CEO is expecting you" said an Intergalactic Trooper

Haman was escorted by multiple Intergalactic Troopers to what appeared to be an office on the ship where the CEO of the Intergalactic Research Corporation Lawrence Pester appeared.

"Good evening Haman, I guess you are wondering why you are here" said Lawrence

"Who are you and how did I end up here" said Haman

"I am Lawrence Pester and I'm the President of the Intergalactic Research Organisation, we aim to investigate and discover new technologies to eventually sell to the highest bidder" said Lawrence

"Why am I here" said Haman

"The Organisation's job is to advance tech in my dimension as much as we can and considering how technologically advanced your dimension is, we decided to recruit someone from the UC and you fit the bill" said Lawrence

"How come you didn't just get someone else, why didn't you let me atone for the war" said Haman

"Because I need a Newtype and reading your story on a datapad, I took some pity on you and decided to hire you as an Intergalactic Researcher, plus we need some more leadership experience in the company" said Lawrence

"On the plus side, you got to escape the Universal Century, thats got to be a win-win" added Lawrence

"What about my obligations as Regent of Zeon, I feel the Earth Sphere needs someone to rule them to save it" said Haman

"You lost the war, your forces were split in half and were whittled down to virtually nothing, the Universal Century is doomed to be nothing more than an series of tragedies and mishaps, all you would of done would of been replacing the Federation tyranny with Zeon tyranny" said Lawrence

"Those people needed direction, not everyone can become Newtypes as the Earthnoid elites will keep holding humanity back " said Haman

"Ahh theres the nihlism I've heard about, probably from years of loneliness, your never going back to the Universal Century, you want atonement, I'll tell you where your first assignment is going to be Zeon, your going to Sydney, the same place you Zeek's nuked to oblivion" said Lawrence as he signalled his guards to begin taking Haman away

"One more thing, you will be assigned an therapist to ensure your on tip top shape for Intergalactic missions" said Lawrence

Moments Later

Haman along with 2 other Intergalactic Researchers were sent to North Sydney Oval to negotiate with the North Sydney Bears over some refereeing technology.

As they walked into the office of the Oval, a businessman approached them.

"G'day, welcome to the North Sydney Bears, I see your here to discuss the new refereeing tech" said the buisnessmen

"I'm John Formason, this is my colleague Phil McNulty and our rookie Researcher Haman Karn" said John

"I am Arthur Jackson and I am the Head Honcho here at the North Sydney Bears" said Arthur

"Ah I see, we are here to sell you robot referee technology obtained from the Galactik Football dimension, I hear you needed some innovations in order to both enter back in the NRL and stay in North Sydney" said John

"Is it able to ref a Rugby League game" said Arthur

"Its been re-programmned with the rules of Rugby League" said Phil

"I want to see it tested" said Arthur

"Very well, Haman we're volunteering you to test the refereeing machine" said John

"Wait what, I have no knowledge of this tech, how would I help" said Haman

"It doesn't require any technological experience to test it" said John

Suddenly a North Sydney Bears womans player approached them, she looked like a prop and was one of the bigger and stronger players on the team .

"Right Tegan, I want you to high tackle this Researcher, clotheslines are allowed" said Arthur

The prop nodded before charging at Haman and then launched a hard clothesline tackle and managed to collide with Haman's collarbone with the Props arm slamming into Haman's neck, Haman went to the floor, clearly winded and appeared to have an broken collarbone. The refereeing machine detected this as an high tackle and said 'Tegan Winlow, that was an nasty high tackle, you are sent off from the game'.

"Nice, the machine can detect high tackles, this can reduce costs for the refs, how much is it" said Arthur

"Heres the bill for it and here is Haman's potential medical expenses for that high tackle" said John

Arthur looked at the bill which he went wide-eyed

"Bit costly mate, but I feel if we want get back into first grade rugby, we have to adopt some innovation, but i'm not sure about the price" said Arthur

"Come on, it will be the best innovation, this ramshackle club has had in years" said John

"Mate, I believe its an excellent innovation, but I would need to speak to the clubs accountant before pursuing it" said Arthur

Suddenly everyone could sense psychic pressure with some suffering from headaches.

John and Arthur turned to see Haman who had her Newtype Pink Barrier activated, she was pissed off and an menacing pink aura.

"Pay up Earthnoid" yelled Haman angrily

"Yeah m'aam, we will buy those robo-refs off the Intergalactic lot" said Arthur in an panicked tone

End of Flashback

"And after that, I was given free tickets to 3 Bears games" said Haman

"Thats why, however you said that you know Lawrence Pester, thats correct" said Lil

"I knew him, he was my old boss at Intergalactic before I was fired" said Haman

"Dil and Lawrence have been rivals for years, it all stems back to high school as Lawrence and Dil were classmates, they were friends who wanted to help advance technological research, However in their final year of high school, two factors contributed them to become rivals" said Lil

"What were they" said Haman

"Firstly Dil got into the Alien Research Society through exams, whilst Lawrence did not which created resentment on Lawrence's side, as for the 2nd factor, Lawrence never appreciated Dil's talents in alien research and Dil had enough of him over time, once Kaori became his girlfriend in Dil and Kaori's final year at High School, Dil stopped getting involved in Lawrence's projects and afterwards Lawrence disappeared and founded the Intergalactic Research Organisation" said Lil

"So Kaori convinced Dil to stop doing Alien Research with Lawrence" said Haman

"Yes, according to what Dil and Kaori told me, Lawrence had apparently pissed off Kaori as she felt Dil should be given more credit in the Research club and one day when Dil, Kaori and Lawrence were in the same class, Kaori snapped after Lawrence tried giving Dil way too much workload which Lawrence was most likely to take the credit and Kaori yelled in his face and kicked him quite hard, both Dil and her got detention whilst Lawrence used his fathers fame to get out of it, afterwards Dil vowed never to work with Lawrence again" said Lil

"If Dil vowed never to work with Lawrence again, why did the ARI/Intergalactic summit happen then" said Haman

"John Long led ARI at the time and felt that although there was grievances between Dil and Lawrence, ARI agreed that the more Intergalactic research they obtained, the more tech advancements could be made" said Lil

"That's where I met Dil and James was conceived, do you think that my firing from the Intergalactic Research Organisation was because Lawrence suspected that my son was Dil's and that linked me to both ARI and Lawrence's petty rivalry with Dil" said Haman

"Me and Dil have come to that conclusion when reading your data file, I feel Lawrence is assisting the New Titans war effort" said Lil

"How can you tell" said Haman

"His father Rex Pester works in the New Titans Propaganda Department which I feel Lawrence may have influenced it" said Lil

Lil examined the abandoned office of North Sydney Oval before saying "If the club is dormant because of the war, I gift the club as Imperial Consort of the Dilganese Empire to you, James and your descendants"

"Thank you Lil" said Haman

"If Lawrence is involved though Haman, let Dil deal with it, Lawrence is more dangerous than the New Titans and Empire of Leni combined" said Lil sternly

Meanwhile in Loch Loud

Duke Duncan of Loch Loud was wondering around the halls of Castle Loud nervously, he had heard of the Empire's losses in various battles on Earth and Space and he was worried his forces weren't adequately prepared to deal with the Dilganese/Dango onslaught.

"Your highness, we have just received an video call" said one of Duncan's butlers

The projector came down and Takahiko Arima appeared

"Evening, Mr President" said Duke Duncan

"Good evening Duncan, you know why I am calling" said Takahiko

"What is it about" said Duke Duncan as he gulped

"The defence of Loch Loud, I feel you and your forces are not up to task to defend it" said Takahiko

"I can assure you that every citizen of Loch Loud has been mobilised and is ready for the fight" said Duke Duncan

"From what I seen, your defence forces have been hardly impressive" said a cold voice behind Duke Duncan

"Ahh Captain Misuzu Gundou of the New Titans South Burning Division, Duke Duncan this is your replacement as administrator of Loch Loud" said Takahiko

"But I was appointed by the Loud Family themselves to look after their sovereign territory, what experience does she have" said Duke Duncan

"Since being conscripted, She has been one of the few New Titans Officers that has managed to stop the Dilganese and Dango's in their tracks in many battles and led many New Titans victories in Africa" said Takahiko

"Your surplus to requirements in this battle, goodbye" said Captain Gundou as she pulled a pistol out and shot Duke Duncan.

"Captain, you'll lead the defence of Loch Loud, what is your plan" said Takahiko

"We are being invaded on two fronts, I request that the New Titans send over old EFF planes with New Titans Penal Division's inside to launch a ground assault on the land. As for the naval assault, I have managed to gather a convoy of Marine Hizacks to intercept the Dilganese/Dango fleet and I have got the South Burning Division as well as the loyal residents of Loch Loud on my side for fleet defence" said Captain Gundou

"I like those ideas, I have got to organise Operation Finalstrike, but make sure this defence is successful or face the consequences" said Takahiko before turning off the projector

"System, contact Yazan Gable of the Marine Hiazack fleet" said Captain Gundou

The projector showed Yazan Gable who was piloting his MS

"Yazan, your role in the battle is ambush the Dilganese Naval Fleet, pursue them ruthlessly" said Captain Gundou

Soon two heavily armoured troops approached behind Captain Gundou, they resembled an heavily armed SWAT team.

"Ah the BCT (Bask Correction Team), make sure the residents of Loch Loud remain loyal through the invasion" said Captain Gundou

"Yes Captain" said a member of the BCT who left the room

Meanwhile

The Dilganese fleet had managed to enter the Irish sea, heading towards Loch Loud in the Scottish Highlands, Leading the Ground assault was the 56th Airwalker Brigade which was an parachute regiment led by Tomo Aizawa and Junichirou Kubota, their uniforms were green camouflaged with both the Dilganese flag and their patch on their sleeves. they were moving up to the Loud/Titans final outskirts defences of Loch Loud known as Loudstown.

"Right team, listen up, we got Titans and Loud forces held up on the outskirts of Loch Loud, if we win this battle, we will have a dominant land flank in the Invasion of Loch Loud" said Tomo

"We will be joined by British forces as well as the 10th Alien Nelson Division who will be guarding our flank" said Jun

"Lets go" said Tomo as the 56th Airwalker Brigade jumped out of a helicopter and activated their parachutes.

They landed near Loudstown which was guarded by various New Titans Penal divisions guarding it.

"Just ground units, I thought the Titans would defend this place with a bit more firepower" said Tomo

"Judging by their uniforms, they are an penal unit, it makes sense their lightly armed" said Jun wearing binoculars

"Even for a valuable location, Where are the MS" said Tomo

Meanwhile

The Dilganese naval fleet were heading towards Loch Loud, but as they saw the town from the distance, New Titans MS on water skis were heading their direction.

"Ambush, Chuckie inform Susie to prepare the defences" said Angelica

"Yes Angelica" said Chuckie as he informed Susie's ship via Military Pager.

The Marine Hizacks began to prepare their assault on the Dilganese fleet

"Deploy the Marine Reptar units" said Susie

Susie's ship began deploying their MS, 2 Aqua Reptars and 1 SPT Reptar Mk III Amphibious Type.

"Prepare the cannon defences" said Angelica on her ship

The cannons on the battleships moved towards the Hizacks who were engaged in the Reptar units

The Marine Hizacks made short work of the Aqua Reptar units, but the Amphibious Type held in there and managed to destroy a majority of the Marine Hizack's except for Yazan who managed to evade the Amphibious Type's attacks with ease.

Yazan turned towards the Dilganese battleships and aimed for them, but was stopped when an Zaku III Custom intercepted him clashing beam sabers.

"Mashymere, you meant to be commanding the spaceship overlooking Loch Loud" screamed Angelica through comms

"I delegated to someone else once I saw that you guys needed more MS support" said Mashymere

The Marine Hizack and Zaku III Custom beam sabers clashed with each other, both using jet propellers to avoiding their MS sinking into the sea.

Meanwhile

Jun and Tomo and their forces had just taken Loudstown and were on route to Loch Loud, after clearing out many Titans Penal Battalions, they were on route to dealing with the strong Leni resistance at the Loch's outskirts when Tomo spotted something in the sky.

"Look Jun, UFO's" said Tomo

an fleet of Klebian UFO's had entered the battle and had provided sky support for the Dilganese/Dango units.

"Can those UFO's be trusted though" said Jun

"Only time can tell Jun, we've still got Leni and Titans forces to deal with" said Tomo

Meanwhile

Yazan watched as the Klebian UFO's laid siege on Loch Loud, Yazan wanted to deal with them, but he had two MS on his back, one of which being an former Neo-Zeon.

Yazan's Marine Hizack managed to shoot down the Amphibious Type with an lucky shot, but he was finding the Zaku III Custom a difficult task to defeat.

The Marine Hizack and Zaku III Custom clashed beam sabers with both of them having their comms on.

"Well, well, well, look what we have here, one of Haman Karn's old cronies" said Yazan

"You fought for Neo-Zeon as well" said Mashymere

"I was an bounty hunter, you were deluded by your own fantasies involving that pink haired tyrant" said Yazan

"Why you" said Mashymere as him and Yazan clashed beam sabers.

"It's the end of you Cello, don't worry about Haman, she'll will be finished off as well" said Yazan

Mashymere unleashed his yellow aura and immense psychic pressure came out of his Zaku III Custom, Yazan learning from fighting Kamille Bidan tried to blast away, but Cello was too fast and grabbed Yazan's mobile suit, Mashymere was prepared to use his psychic Newtype energy and destroy Yazan.

"This ends here, Yazan Gable" said Mashymere

Suddenly an GM Custom's rifle could be heard.

Mashymere noticed his camera wasn't working which was an sign that his Zaku III Customs head had been destroyed.

The GM Custom appeared in an blue and black camouflage, aiming its rifle at the Zaku III Custom.

"Fall, Zeek" said Captain Gundou

Despite the shots coming from the GM Custom, the psychic pressure of the Zaku III Custom continued to rage on.

On the battleships

"We need Cello to stop psychically blocking our path or we are going to be held up" said Chuckie

"We can't shoot him down, his MS and life is valuable to the Dilganese" said Susie

"I'm going to have to take an shot, there's no other way" said Angelica

"Aim the cannons of the battleship at the battle" said Chuckie as his crew began aiming the battleships guns at the battle.

"Fire" said Angelica as the cannons fired their guns, Mashymere who sensed the shot shifted out of the way which caused his psychic pressure to cease, it took out Yazan's MS's head, causing Yazan to lose his camera, the GM Custom also took some damage.

"End of the line, Spacenoid" said Yazan as he lifted his rifle, but Mashymere's MS was too fast and managed to use the beam saber of the Zaku III to cut through the Marine Hizack, killing Yazan. Captain Gundou and her GM Custom fought on against the Zaku III Custom.

Meanwhile

Lil and Haman were flying back to Yucipica after the diplomatic trip to Australia, when Haman sensed something.

"Mashymere's in trouble, Lil is their an MS around" said Haman

"Haman, you're still recovering from your injuries on Command-5" said Lil

"I can still fight" said Haman

"Haman, please reconsider, your prosthetic leg still hasn't been tested" said Lil

"Lil, just get me down there" snapped Haman

"Fine, there is an SPT Reptar Mk III in the hanger" said Lil

Haman rushed towards the hanger area of the Alien Corvette and found the SPT Reptar Mk III and sortied.

Later

The battle of the Zaku III Custom and GM Custom raged on, however without an head, the Zaku III had no camera which meant Mashymere was fighting on pure instinct and Cyber-Newtype perception and eventually the GM Custom gained the upper hand and managed to disable the Zaku III Custom

"Accept the authority of the Titans and if your lucky, I might let you live" said Captain Gundou

"Why should I do that, you've lost, I was an mere distraction to the ships heading to Loch Loud" said Mashymere

"You didn't think I had an backup plan" said Captain Gundou

Captain Gundou activated her MS's long range comms.

"South Burning Division, deal with the battleships" said Captain Gundou calling her unit to go after the battleships

No response

"I repeat, South Burning Division, deal with the battleships" said Captain Gundou

Suddenly an MS began firing at Gundou's GM Custom

"I see you brought your friend Zeek" said Captain Gundou

The GM Custom began firing at the SPT Reptar Mk III which was dodging all of its bullpulp rifle attacks, the Reptar unit then pulled out its beam rifle and clashed beam sabers with the GM Custom.

"Ah the infamous Haman Karn, funny seeing you here, I've heard so much about you" said Captain Gundou

"Who are you, Titan" said Haman

"I am Captain Misuzu Gundou of the New Titans South Burning Division, one of the elite special forces units of the New Titans" said Captain Gundou

Haman launched an furious pink Newtype aura at the GM Custom, however an black aura enveloped the GM Custom.

"An Newtype" mumbled Haman

"Possibly, but I don't care, your existence is an threat to the peace the New Titans will bring" said Captain Gundou

Both aura's were strong, Haman knew that she was facing an tough opponent whom could be an Newtype or something else entirely.

Haman backed off and beam sabers clashed, Haman fired her Reptar units beam rifle to no avail, this pilot was an ace.

"I am disappointed Ghost of Zeon, I was expecting an challenge" said Captain Gundou

"I'm not even in a Newtype suit, the circumstances are still in your favour and yet you can't still finish me off" said Haman

The GM Custom continued to fire its rifle and vulcan guns at Haman's Reptar unit which missed as Haman was the faster pilot and managed to dodge the onslaught.

The GM Custom eventually managed to saw one of Haman's MS's arms off with an lucky swipe of an beam saber.

"This ends here" said Captain Gundou

Suddently Haman noticed funnels heading her direction before flying past her and surrounding the GM Custom which it then fired and sawed the legs off the GM Custom which caused it to lay there floating.

Haman turned around to see the Quin Mantha along with what appeared to be an SGDR fleet and MS which had begun providing support to the Dilganese Forces

"Lyssa, is that you" said Haman

"It is indeed, looks like we are on the same side, we'll speak more when we capture Loch Loud" said Lyssa who flew off with her squad, heading to Loch Loud.

Haman turned to the damaged GM Custom and with the one working arm of the SPT Reptar Mk III, pulled out an beam rifle

"It looks like I have the advantage, you've lost" said Haman

"If I have lost, so have Southern Japan" said Captain Gundou

"What do you mean" said Haman

"Don't you understand Zeek, Southern Japan's last hope was the New Titans, if we lose, the Dango's and Fox People will simply subjugate us and we will be left with nothing of our old lives, just memories" said Captain Gundou

"The Dilganese will offer an new future, free from the mistakes of the past and the chance for humanity to evolve and improve" said Haman

"The Dilganese are nothing more than space bureaucrats that don't care about the common person miles away from their scientific sphere" said Captain Gundou

"The Titans only care for themselves and actively persecute Spacenoids, surrender your MS has been surrounded" said Haman

"For the Titans, For the Earth" said Captain Gundou as the GM Custom aims its rifle and opens fire at Haman's MS which dodged the fire and then Haman's MS fired its beam rifle which destroyed the GM Custom

As herself and her MS were being shot down, Captain Gundou's final thoughts were 'Looks like this is it, I hope Tomo, Carol and Tanabe make it out alive'

Meanwhile

The 56th Airwalker Brigade was stuck in an firefight with various Leni and Titans squads on the outskirts of Loch Loud, the BCT had also arrived to back up the various units which was holding the brigade back.

"The Bask Correction Team have come in numbers, there bogging us down" said Jun

"If this keeps up, we will lose the battle" said Tomo

Suddenly SGDR MS and Naval planes began to fill the air and ground, Jun grabbed his rocket launcher, thinking the SGDR were providing the New Titans reinforcements, however to his surprise the SGDR began attacking Titans forces and soon the Airwalker brigade were able to push forward to Loch Loud which was poorly defended by Titans Conscripts whom were defeated with the help of the local citizens whom were beginning to tire of Titans/Leni oppression and soon Loch Loud fell under Dilganese control.

Later

Loch Loud castle had been virtually emptied following the occupation, the Leni portraits had been destroyed, whilst the old Loud relics and most of the furniture were taken and either sold off or put into storage.

In one of the meeting rooms, a table still remained where Haman Karn, Mashymere Cello and Lyssa Von Karn all met after the battle.

"Lyssa" said Haman

"Haman, surprised to see you here to be honest" said Lyssa

"Yeah, I wasn't expected to participate in the battle" said Haman

"Let me guess, you participated after Cello here got into a spot of trouble" said Lyssa

Haman smiled before saying "Yeah"

"How predictable, soon as Cello get in an spot of trouble, you came in like a knight in shining armour, its like the roles has been reversed from the past" said Lyssa

"Hmm, how come the SGDR defected from the Titans" said Haman

"I could see what the Titans were becoming and I at the end of the day want to ensure the best for my people" said Lyssa

"I heard the Dilganese brokered the peace agreement" said Mashymere

"They did, James Pickles was sent to negotiate" said Lyssa

"How was James, was he alright" said Haman

"Yeah he seemed fine, there is something you should know" said Lyssa

"What is that" said Haman

"James knows about the First Neo-Zeon War and your origins Haman, he read it on an data pad" said Lyssa

Haman froze, she never wanted James to fully know about her past as an dictator in an another dimension

"What was his general reaction to it" said Haman

"He used your past battle data to try and improve his MS skills, he accepts your past and actually spoke highly of you in terms of his own upbringing" said Lyssa

Haman smiled and said "Is he still on the frontlines"

"Yeah, he is still on the Americas front" said Lyssa

"He's been on frontline action for months" said Haman

"The war is entering an crucial stage for the Dilganese, I understand your concern as an parent for James's safety, but he could play one of the biggest roles of the war" said Lyssa

"What do you mean" said Haman

Lyssa pulls out a hologram map

"The Dilganese have conquered most of Central North America and have pushed the Leni forces to 3 areas, Washington D.C, Royal Woods there capital and the area around Florida, Dil Pickles is leading the D.C front, Phil Deville is leading Florida front and your son along with various others are leading the Royal Woods front" said Lyssa

"Looks like the Empire of Leni is crumbling, what about the New Titans" said Haman

"They are preparing for something called Operation Finalstrike" said Lyssa

"What is Operation Finalstrike" said Haman

"I wasn't privy to the conversation, but from Stasi reports, it is an space laser" said Lyssa

"Where are the Titans going to use the space laser" said Haman

"There are rumours they are going to strike Yucipica" said Lyssa

"What is the cannons range" said Haman

Lyssa pulled out an holographic map which shows the cannon essentially wipes out a lot of the Alien Home Guard that still remain in California

"Luckily it doesn't hit James, but still it could wipe out Yucipica, the Dilganese capital" said Haman

"SGDR are going to send this infomation to Dilganese high command, we are still not trusted by the Dangos and North Japanese whom are commencing an invasion of Neriema and Southern Japan" said Lyssa

"Its good to see you on the same side" said Haman

"Yeah, I had to time it well though, otherwise I could risk losing most of my forces" said Lyssa

"Oh, do you still feel abandoned by me" said Haman throwing the question out there

"Reflecting on my own life before the war, no I had a loving upbringing and I'm sorry for giving you an hard time" said Lyssa looking down

Haman then said "I accept your apology, your my clone and I was worried that you were going down the same path that I went in the Universal Century, but I could see that your path looks brighter now"

"I never wanted to be leader, but circumstances as well as me being the highest ranking officer of 5 stranded DDR battalions in space made me the leader of the SGDR, I think more like a Rational General because I was one before being teleported here" said Lyssa

"I see, what if I told you that I was virtually forced into my position as Regent of Neo-Zeon" said Haman

"I saw from datapads that Char recommended you to become Regent of Axis and it eventually turned your life upside down" said Lyssa

"True, although I did succeed my father at the role" said Haman

Later

The New Titans cannon was slowly approaching the Dilganese Solar System and with it a large fleet of New Titans as well as the flagship of the Leni Navy which was flanking them
