The war between Holfort and Fanoss had begun as the Dukedom's advance forces have arrived and attacked the Kingdom's land, but was met with the counterattack by the military force that Kira and Hachi collected before time.
The sky of Holfort Kingdom is raided with airships, armors, and monsters going to war with each other as explosions filled the night sky.
In one area of the kingdom's capital, citizens were making their way to an evacuation airship as they were panicking because of the chaos in the sky.
The Gladius Armors and the Kingdom's mass produced Armors were protecting the people against the monsters that tried to swarm them.
Currently, Clarice is amongst the crowd as she and a few knights of her households are evacuating the people to the airship. The Atlee' daughter doing her best to get everyone to safety.
"please don't rush! We will get you all to safety!" Clarice cried out to the people making their way into the evacuation airships. She turns and swung a hand to a nearby knight. "Protect the refugees no matter what! we can't allow the enemy to come!"
"yes!" the knight responded.
Clarice continues to evacuate the people into the airships before she saw one of the Gladius getting swarmed by the monsters before it gets shot down by a Fanoss Armor which gets joined by many others that are now attacking the Kingdom's forces.
"Clarice-sama! hurry and evacuate!" one knight riding an Armor shouted as he went on the attack against the enemy Armors. "hurry!"
Clarice looks rather hesitant at first before she closed her eyes and turns to get on board the airship with the others. the Atlee daughter went straight for the bridge as her subordinates are getting things ready for lift off.
"take off! Now!" Clarice exclaimed to the pilots.
"yes! We are.." the soldier responded but the ship suddenly shifts and shakes terribly. "wha!?"
"What was that!?" Clarice looks at what caused the shake and her eyes widen in surprise when the side of the ship gets hit with one of the Kingdom's Armors that got pushed back by the foe who proceeds to stab a sword through the robot and killed its pilot. "no!"
"Death to all Kingdom's fools!" the Fanoss Armor shouted as it ready a large battle axe while being joined by his comrades.
"Wait, these ships aren't warship!" Clarice shouted while using a megaphone installed in the airship. "There are refugees inside!"
"like we care!" another Fanoss Armor shouted while readying its rifle weapon. "It doesn't matter even if they're refugees! Die to make up for your sins, you fiends of the kingdom!"
"no! stop!" Clarice cried out as the enemy Armors were about to destroy their airship when a rain of green energy beams came down from the sky and precisely hit the Fanoss forces' weapons which were destroyed in explosions. "wha!?"
"What was that!?" the Fanoss Armors look at where the attacks came from, each one tilting their heads up to the sky where they see a flash of a star from which the Freedom appeared. The Gundam pulling back its left arm and then thrusts it forward to throw its shield which collided with one enemy robot. "enemy reinforcements!"
The Fanoss Armors readied their physical weapons against the Freedom which drew out both of its Lacerta beam sabers from its hips as it descends on the enemy forces.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
The Freedom kneels pass the Fanoss forces as it held its beam sabers forward before they were deactivated and stored back to their place on the waist when the Gundam stood back up.
In a split second, the Fanoss' armors had their heads and limbs fall off their body as they were cut off in mere seconds.
"i-in just a single minute after its arrival.." a soldier spoke while Clarice looks awestruck.
"that Armor..it's like…" Clarice muttered while seeing the Freedom picking up its shield from the ground and then turning its head to look at her. "Kira..-kun?"
The Freedom's eyes flashed yellow before it spreads its wings and then tilt its head up as its thrusters ignited in ascending the mobile suit to the sky.
Clarice watches the Freedom fly away as she thought about how majestic it looked.
"so this is your resolve, Kira-kun." Clarice said before she firmed herself and looks at her subordinates. "if this airship can fly, do it! we need to get the people to safety!"
"y-yes!" the soldiers responded before going back to work in getting the airship into the air.
At another part of the kingdom's capital, by the land belonging to the Roseblade Household. Deidre is doing her part in getting the people to safety as she is commanding all the knights under her family, but things were going sour because of how there is a large number of Fanoss forces were coming their way.
"Deidre-sama! please escape!" a knight told Deidre while several others were trying their best to get the refugees into the Roseblade house.
"You are telling this me to run away?!" Deidre exclaimed. "If I run away here, I won't be able to show my face toward Otou-sama and Onee-sama who are fighting to protect our territory!"
"My lady isn't a knight!" the soldier objected as he tried to make an excuse to get her to safety. "There is no one who will condemn you even if you run away!"
"no! I shall not!" Deidre exclaimed before she swung a hand to the side. "Send out the airships of our house! It doesn't matter what kind of airship it is! Evacuate the citizens immediately!"
"My lady will also board that airship, won't you!?" the knight asks.
"Yes, I'll board it." Deidre nodded with a smile as the knight was smiling as well before he became shocked when the teen girl added. "The last airship that is."
"MY LADY! YOU FOOL~!" The knight ran away while in tears as he went straight for his comrades to convey Deidre's orders.
Deidre smiles as she watches her knights do her command, she then looks at the battle in the sky as the showy armors of Roseblade House were fighting against the incoming enemies with their entire might.
"push them back!" one Roseblade Armor shouted as the forces keeps on fighting before they got swarmed by the enemy forces. "agggh!"
Fanoss Armors descends and lands upon the Roseblade Household's land as they started to attack the Kingdom's on site military forces.
"Milady! Run!" a knight shouted while he and his comrades started firing their guns at the large Armors stomping their way to the Roseblade House.
"destroy them all!" the Fanoss Armors kicked away the knights and fired their weapons at the large mansion house which gets parts of it destroyed.
"That's not something a knight will do!" Deidre shouted as she came and faced the enemies. She swung her fan at them. "how dare you attack those who are weaker than you!"
"What are you doing my lady!?" the knights shouted at the woman.
"You have no right to say that to us!" the Fanoss forces looks down at Deidre. "The kingdom will sink! And all of you shall die!" one armor then points its Gun's muzzle down upon the defenseless woman. "now beg for your life!"
"never!" Deidre shouted while trembling. "Begging for one's life doesn't suit a daughter of Roseblade House!" she points a shaking finger at the Armor. "You plan to kill me anyway, right?! Then do it already!"
"My lady, please don't provoke the enemy!" the knights cried out while running to her side and getting her to safety.
"die, bitch!" the Fanoss Armor was about to pull the trigger but the Freedom suddenly came flying in as it flew and shifts its position so its legs were forward and its upper body was behind. The Gundam proceeded to kick the Armor away with great force that it crashed with its comrades. "aggh!"
Deidre and her knights shielded themselves from the huge gust of wind that came from the Freedom's sudden arrival. The group seeing that their enemies were pushed back by the single Gundam that stood before them.
"That Armor is…" Deidre looks at the back of the Freedom as the Gundam faces the enemy forces.
"Who is this guy!?" "Who cares! If this thing is protecting the scums of the Kingdom, then kill him!" "right!" the Fanoss Armors got ready with their weapons before they begin to charge against the Freedom which proceeds to draw out one of its beam sabers.
Its thrusters ignited, the Freedom flew and then swings its beam saber to the side.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
The Freedom flies pass the Fanoss Armors as it had cut their weapons, arms, and legs apart.
"Why you!" one Fanoss Armor managed to survive against the strike as it wields a large axe and dashes straight for the Freedom that had stored its beam saber and then turns to see the robot coming. "DIE!"
"look out!" Deidre shouted as the Fanoss Armor swings down its axe upon the Freedom that saw the attack coming.
CLANG!
In a split second, the Freedom caught the blade of the axe in a Shinken Shirahadori. The Gundam stopped the enemy Armor's attack in its place.
"What!?" the Fanoss Armor's pilot along with Deidre and her knights were surprised as the Freedom's eyes flashed before it deployed and flipped out its Xilphas Railgun which charges energy before firing a charged shot against the enemy robot's arms which were destroyed in an explosion. "agggh!"
The Fanoss armor falls in a big thud as the Freedom held its axe before proceeding to throw it away.
"that Armor…it's strong.." a Roseblade knight spoke as his comrades nodded in agreement.
Deidre looks at the Freedom as the Gundam turns and then flew away in an instant.
"how rude." Deidre said with a smile before waving some of her ringlet hairs to the side. "not even sparing a moment for greetings?"
With the crisis averted, the knights proceeded to their main task.
"My lady, let us depart!" the knight said. "we need to evacuate quickly!"
"yes." Deidre nods before she looks a bit embarrassed and awkward. "B-But before that…" she points at her legs which were shaking. "can one of you help me move?"
The knights sweatdrop as they were sure that their lady was brave and all, but her body wasn't one with her mind at all.
The battle between Fanoss and Holfort tipped straight for the Kingdom's favor as the arrival of the Freedom just pushed the enemy forces back.
currently flying in the sky at high speed, the Freedom Gundam flew straight for a squadron of Fanoss Armors and monsters as the mobile suit deployed its weaponry forward before it unleashed a full burst attack that precisely hit his foes and either incapacitate or destroyed them.
Kira who is within the Gundam, saw his enemies defeated by his attack before his sensors picked up more hostile signs coming his way.
"An estimated number of 30 Fanoss Armors are coming from the northeast side." Hachi reports to Kira via the communication line. "and a number of 47 monsters coming from the northwest side."
"I see them coming." Kira said as he sees the incoming enemies. He squinted his eyes to see the large numbers. "the Strike and the others?"
"the Blitz, Buster, and Aegis are currently engaging the enemies on the southern side of the capital." Hachi replied while the Strike and the Duel came flying to the Freedom's side from the side. "currently, only the Strike and the Duel are present in the area."
"three is enough." Kira said as he activated the Freedom's Multi-lock system. "on my mark, Hachi."
"roger." Hachi replied before beeping as the AI made the two other Gundams ready their long ranged weapons in sequence.
The Freedom deployed its weaponry forward before it along with the Strike and Duel unleashed a full burst attack against the incoming enemy forces. Missiles, bullets, and energy beams flew into the air as each attack devastated the huge numbers of enemies that came their way.
Explosions lit the sky before a rain of defeated Fanoss Armors came raining down upon the Holfort Kingdom's land.
"Enemies are all defeated." Hachi reported. "We have cleared the enemies in this area."
"How many more enemies are left?" Kira asks as his Freedom Gundam's weapons were steaming after unleashing the attack with the other Gundams.
"An estimation of 572 enemies consisting of Armors, monsters, and airships are left." Hachi replied and Kira looked a bit frustrated and annoyed to hear the number of enemies remaining.
"They brought so many and yet…" Kira tighten his grasp of his Gundam's control rods. He shakes his head once and then looks serious. "Hachi, get all the Gladius Armors and Espada Airships ready for counterattack against the Fanoss forces. Inform the Kingdom's military forces of the counterattack once they got everyone evacuated to safety, we need to push the enemy back."
"Roger." Hachi replied before beeping a few times and then made a single ringing noise. "Kira, there is some strange movements by the enemy forces."
"What?" Kira looks confused at first before he heard a loud explosion noise in the sky as his Gundam tilts its head up to see three red flares flying in the air before creating a huge firework like explosion. "Flares? Are they signaling a retreat?"
"no, it's not!" Hachi reported before the enemy alarms ring loudly in the Freedom's cockpit. "Kira! The monsters that have swarmed the Kingdom are now focusing to your area!"
"What?" Kira looks surprised as his Gundam turns around to see that a huge number of monsters along with Fanoss armors are coming his way. "this is?"
"Boy!" Vandel's voice is heard as Kira turns his Gundam and looks up to see a black armor with blackish red flesh and pulsating eyes hovering above and wields the Grand Slam sword in its right hand grasp. "Seems that you're not easy to be rid of like I had thought."
"This voice…the Black Knight?" Kira looks surprised but that surprise is from seeing the Armor's entire design. "What kind of Armor is that?"
"Scans have showed that the Black Knight's Armor is emitting an energy signature similar to the Black Armor piece we have once discovered from the elf ruins!" Hachi reported as one screen in the cockpit shows the image of the Black Knight's Armor which is emitting an invisible thermal like aura. "it's a remnant of the Old Humans!"
"What?" Kira became more surprised before he looks back at the Black Knight that gets accompanied by more Fanoss Armors that came to its side. He hardens his gaze as the Freedom got into a battle ready stance with its beam rifle and shield. "Seems that this is their plan to take us all down in one fell swoop."
"Indeed." Hachi replied as the AI made a few beeping noises and then showed the image of the Buster, Blitz, and Aegis along with the Archangel and a fleet of Espada Airships and Gladius Armors flying from the distance. "The Archangel along with the Buster, Blitz, Aegis, the Gladius Armors, and the Espada airships are coming to your side at once, Kira."
"Thanks, Hachi." Kira nods as the Freedom's eyes flashes yellow as it looks straight at Vandel's Armor that swings its Grand Slam sword to the side while its eyes were glowing a reddish black glow. "I have no doubt that this will be a hard battle."
Meanwhile somewhere far in the sky, the Hyperion Gundam flew straight for the Holfort Castle as Canard Pars and Luxion are planning to go and rescue Hertrude.
"so that is the Armor that stuff makes, huh?" Canard said as he is piloting the Gundam but his attention is to sight of Vandel's Armor that is now facing the Freedom. "tch, to think that guy gets the chance to fight him with that Gundam." He grits his teeth tight. "I should've never followed his order!"
"It is of your own decision, Master." Luxion said. 'as much as it is in my desire to destroy that elder's piece of filth, I shall leave it to that amazing Gundam to deal with it.' the AI had scanned the Freedom's specs and finds it having the fuel come from its own N-Jammer canceller. The drone then made a few beeping noises. "Master, the castle is in sight."
"I can see it." Canard said as his Gundam flies straight for the castle where it gets welcomed with rains of bullets and magic attacks from the Kingdom's stationed Armors and Gladius Armors. "tch, pests all over the place."
The Hyperion Gundam flies away from the bullets and magic attacks as it zig zag and swirls around before activating its beam shield that deflects against the incoming attacks that were too close.
"All of you! Do your best to protect the castle! We must not allow this evildoer to come and destroy our land!" the captain of the squad of Armors shouted as every Armor keeps on firing before several were shot down and destroyed by a rain of green energy beams. "wha!?"
The Hyperion's eyes flash green as the Gundam flies and dodge all the incoming attacks by doing spins and then aims its Zastava Stigmate Beam machine gun before firing several shots that were precise and instantly destroyed the Gladius and the Kingdom's Armors.
"C-Captain! It's too fast! our attacks aren't…!" an Armor cried out before it was shot down and destroyed in a big explosion. "agghh!"
"damnit!" the captain of the squad keeps on firing with his Armor before it proceeds to throw away its rifle and then draws out its sword then flies straight for the Hyperion. "you will not pass!"
"don't get in my way, pest!" Canard shouted as the Hyperion draws out one of its beam knives and turns its into a beam sword.
The Captain got his Armor to swing its sword at the Hyperion that blocks it with its beam shield before the Gundam proceeds to stab its beam sword straight through the Armor's chest and killed the pilot.
"C-Captain!" the rest of the knights cried out in shock as their Captain was defeated in mere seconds.
"get lost! Weaklings!" Canard shouted as his Hyperion mounts out its Forfanterie beam cannon on its shoulders before charging energy and then unleashing a huge energy blast that flew straight for the Kingdom's Armors and Gladius Armors which were destroyed in a huge explosion.
After destroying the Kingdom's forces, the Hyperion placed its beam knife back in its place before its thrusters ignited and the Gundam flies straight for the castle.
In one room of the kingdom's castle, Hertrude is sitting in one of the many rooms in the palace as it was guarded by knights. The Princess of Fanoss left to be in the room as she was safeguarded there in the midst of the invasion.
"I don't know what is the truth anymore…" Hertrude whispers, the Fanoss Princess completely in her thought on what she has learned from Mylene and the history she had learned from the nobles of her Kingdom. "the past is just full of lies and.." she place a hand to her face as she looks very confused. "just what is the real truth now?"
As Hertrude continues to ponder in her thoughts, a loud explosion from outside surprised her as she turns to see a large mechanical arm reaching straight for the window.
"w-wha!?" Hertrude quickly gets away as the mechanical arm pierced its hand through the glass windows and wall before pulling it apart to reveal the Hyperion Gundam. "t-the Hyperion!?"
The Hyperion's cockpit soon opens as Canard is revealed within.
"hey, you still alive?" Canard spoke out as he slowly gets out of his seat.
"Canard!? Why are you!?" Hertrude looks in shock before the door to the room was swung open and knights came in.
"w-what is that!?" "it's the enemy! Shoot!" the knights readied their guns, but Canard just gets back into his Gundam's cockpit and then turns a control rod which made the Hyperion swung an arm to the side and straight at the knights who were pushed out. "agggh!"
"hurry up and get on." Canard told Hertrude while he looks at one screen showing a small squad of Gladius Armors flying straight for the castle. "I got to get you to safety while the old man fights against that bastard and his Gundams."
"old man? You mean, Vandel!?" Hertrude exclaimed in shock. "why!? he's not supposed to be able to battle after the last invasion and!"
"just get on and complain later." Canard said as he moves a control rod which made his Gundam's right hand go and gently grabs Hertrude then slowly leans her to the cockpit's entrance. "your sister wanted me to get you back to her, and that's what I'm going to do."
"Rauda?" Hertrude looks in confusion and surprise before she turns and sees Luxion flying by while carrying the Fanoss magic flute with a robot tentacle arm. "The magic flute? How did you.."
"Good job." Canard said as Luxion proceeds to give the item to him. "that's another objective done."
"Master, another squadron of Armors are coming from the south side." Luxion said as the AI made one screen in the cockpit show the Buster, Blitz, and Aegis flying straight for the castle with a squadron of Gladius following by. "in the squadron are three Gundam units similar to the Strike."
"Either they're coming for me or for that guy." Canard said as he got Hertrude to get in his Gundam's cockpit which proceeds to close. "whatever. Only matters that I get her back to the kid."
"Canard, wait! What about Vandel!? What is he doing right now!?" Hertrude demanded the man.
"he's going to fight that kid in a death battle like he wanted." Canard said as the Hyperion pulls back and turns around before igniting its thrusters to let it fly off into the sky. "all for his honor as your kingdom's knight."
"w-what!?" Hertrude looks shocked before she sees a screen showing Vandel's demonic Armor battling against the Freedom, the two robots clashing in battle. "that Armor looks like Bartfort's.." she started to become worried. "Vandel.." she then looks at Canard. "go and!"
"don't even think about it." Canard said as he glance at Hertrude. "that old man wants to die and if you get me to help him, you'll just be rejecting his request."
"That man is my knight and!" Hertrude cried out but Canard grabs her by the mouth to shut her up. "uughm!?"
"I'm only paid to protect the Fanoss' princesses. not hear their complaints." Canard said as he had a serious look in his eyes. "I don't give a fuck about saving an old man or anyone else. What I care is to do my job to get you back to your sister," he pulls his hand back and then focuses on piloting his Gundam. "so shut the fuck up and sit quietly like the good girl you're supposed to be."
Hertrude looks a bit shocked at first before her eyes frowns sadly as she tears up to hear that Canard won't do anything to help Vandel in battle.
'Vandel..please win..' Hertrude prayed for Vandel as she shed a single tear for the old knight.
The Hyperion flies off into the sky as the Gundam leaves the battle between Fanoss and Holfort.
Meanwhile at the main area of the battle. The majority of the Fanoss forces have gathered in that one area as the chaos have focused upon there.
Swarms of monster screeches loudly before they were disintegrated by the Perfect Strike which wields its Agni Launcher. The Gundam held up the large beam launcher as the barrel steams, the back of the Aile pack ejects an exhausted Energy power cell as it was the last energy cell.
The Gundam looks to the sky before it turns and then wields its beam rifle on its side skirt, the Strike proceeds to aim the weapon at a group of Fanoss Armors that were coming its way.
"Flank it from both sides!" the Fanoss Armors close in on the Perfect Strike that is firing its beam rifle against them. "destroy that knight!"
The Perfect Strike keeps on firing against its enemies as its power soon run dry and its Phase Shift Armor deactivated.
"now!" the Fanoss Armors close in before they get destroyed by a rain of energy beams from above. "aggghh!" The enemies were destroyed as their burned remains fall to the land.
The Perfect Strike turns its head up as it sees that it was saved by the Duel that had its weaponry spent in the last attack.
Both Gundams looks at one another before they turn their heads as they see more enemies coming their way. The enemy forces consisted of more monsters than Armors as they were swarming very fast. The two mobile suits have spent most of their energy and ammunition in the battle that has last more than 2 hours at best.
The monster screeches in their swarm as they went straight for the two Gundams before a large number were destroyed by a rain of missiles, bullets, and energy beams that came from the Archangel that came flying their way.
The Archangel keeps on firing its weaponry against the swarm as the ship is accompanied by the Blitz, Buster, and Aegis which proceeds to join the battle while the Strike and the Duel went flying straight for the ship's opened catapult launcher as the two received a command signal from Hachi to return to the large ship for refuel of their ammunition and power source but in their place, the two Skygrasper units and the Gunbarrel Striker launched out to fill in the gap.
As the Archangel and the Gundams proceeds to handle with the swarm of monsters and Fanoss Armors, Kira is facing Vandel in a one on one battle that is fierce and chaotic.
"raaah!" Vandel roars out as his Demonic Armor swung the Grand Slam at the Freedom which dodges before counterattack with its beam rifle that fired a few shot but the attacks just bounced off its metallic flesh frame. "it's useless!"
Kira hardens his gaze as the Freedom continues to fire several more shots with its beam rifle before the Gundam switches the weapon from the rifle to its beam saber which it swung down at the Black Knight who blocked with the Grand Slam raised upwards.
"you've raised your capabilities since our last battle, boy." Vandel spoke as the Demonic Armor and the Freedom slammed their foreheads against one another in their power struggle. "I'm impressed."
"Just what have you done to yourself to gain that Armor!?" Kira demanded as he sees the danger signs in one nearby screen that shows a scan of Vandel's Armor. "Its form is demonic beyond words! Just what did you.."
"I just sold my soul to the devil in order to fulfil my duties as the Principality's knight." Vandel spoke as the Demonic Armor's eyes pulsates before they all focused upon the Freedom and begins to glow purple. "just that!"
"Danger! Kira get away from him!" Hachi exclaimed on the comms as Kira quickly pull back the Freedom and flew away as the Black Knight's Armor had lasers fired from its many eyes.
"Those eyes are like the eye from that Armor piece we destroyed before." Kira said as the Freedom flew a distance away from Vandel's Armor, the pilot looking at one screen showing the image of the enemy's robot from up-close as it focuses on the eyes which were pulsating. "they're basically living defensive flesh."
"Kira, we have no data on how to fight such an enemy." Hachi told Kira who was cautious of the Black Knight's movement. "be careful."
"I know." Kira nods as the Freedom's eyes flash yellow and the Gundam flies away from another volley of purple laser beams fired from the Demonic Armor's eyes.
"face me, boy!" Vandel shouted as his Armor keeps on firing the lasers which suddenly splits and turns to wherever the Freedom flew off to.
"homing lasers!?" Kira looks surprised at first as the Freedom flies and dodges the lasers before using its laminate shield to defend against a huge horde of the attacks which cause a big explosion.
Vandel watches the explosion as the smoke spreads around in the air before it was blown away by the Freedom that dashes through while wielding both of its beam sabers at its side.
"Black Knight!" Kira shouted as the Freedom flies straight for the Demonic Armor.
"Brave action, Boy!" Vandel shouted as his Armor swung its sword to the side before flying straight for the Freedom.
Both robots flew towards one another before they clashed their weapons which creates a huge spark the moment they flew passed each other but then came flying back to repeat the action several times.
The Freedom and the Demonic Armor flew and clashed against each other as a blue and red star that flew around in the sky many times.
near the battlefield, the Eternal came flying into the scene. The spaceship having been retrofitted for planetary battle, but its weapons has not been fully calibrated for the occasion.
Currently in the bridge and sitting on the commander seat is Lacus who is watching the battle from several screens showing enhanced images of the battle.
"Kira…" Lacus muttered as she watches one screen showing the Freedom's battle against the Black Knight's Armor. The pink haired princess worried for her lover as she saw how he was fighting an enemy who possibly has higher capabilities than him.
"Eternal's Weapon systems online." A voice spoke to Lacus as it is coming from the control panel on the side of her seat. The princess looks at the screen which shows a schematic of the Eternal's entire frame. "Beam Cannons, Twin Rail Guns, CIWS, METEOR units, and Missile Launchers on standby."
Lacus looks at the screen before to the battle as she sees how there was still the swarm of monsters gathering to the one area the Eternal is heading off too.
"at this rate…" Lacus whispers before she looks at the side panel as she started to check through the system and then pressed the function to call a nearby ship which is the Archangel. "Hachi? Can you hear me?"
"Yes, but I'm sorry to inform you that I am currently busy engaging the enemies with Kira and.." Hachi spoke out before Lacus cuts him off.
"Take control of the Eternal and have it in an autonomous attack mode against the enemies." Lacus told the AI as she checks something else on the side panel. "and also, you have my permission to use the Archangel's Lohengrin Cannon when the odds are against us."
"but Kira said that.." Hachi spoke.
"I know, but this battle won't end unless we take the right action." Lacus said as she presses a button before leaving the commander seat and quickly exiting the bridge. "hurry and take control of the Eternal, Hachi!"
"even if you say that…" Hachi replied before the AI made a few beeping noises. "it would seem that the time has come for her to do her duties." Before long the Eternal's systems have data uploaded into its systems as large amount of numerical data is being transferred and shown in the screens. "I shall leave you to control the Eternal in my stead, Creare."
"you can count on me~!" a feminine AI voice is heard as the Eternal's thrusters soon ignited as the ship flew even faster to the battlefield.
Back in the battle, the Freedom and the Demonic Armor keeps on clashing as the two weren't giving each other an edge.
The Freedom swings its beam sabers down against the Demonic Armor which defends with its sword before it counterattacks by firing lasers from its pulsating eyes. The Gundam quickly dodges before it extends out its Balaena Plasma Beam Cannon and fired two charged shots that flew down upon the Black Knight, but the attack missed.
Both mech flew towards one another and then clashed their weapons again for the umpteenth time.
"just stop this battle!" Kira shouted from within the Freedom. "why must you continue to battle!? This war is already!"
"It isn't over!" Vandel shouted back as his Demonic Armor pushes the Freedom away before it raise its sword up and then swung it down with full force. "not until either of our Kingdoms fall!"
The Freedom quickly raises its shield and defended against the attack but the force of the sword swing made the Gundam nearly fall.
"h-heavy!" Kira grunted while ignoring the alarm signals from one screen showing damage to the motors in Gundam's left arm. He pushes a control rod forward and the Freedom proceeds to fly up and then swing one of its beam saber upwards against Vandel's Armor that dodged it but failed to dodge the second beam saber which pierced through the demonic robot's left waist which instantly cause a spray of blackish red blood to come out. "t-this is!?"
"ugh!" Vandel let out a grunt of pain as his Armor pulls back while holding a hand to its damaged side that continues to bleed before the damage healed itself. "so this is why none were able to handle the pain.."
"that thing…is it fused with him?" Kira looks in shock as he saw what had occurred. "is that even possible?"
"it is." Hachi replied to Kira as the AI showed the data on the demonic armor piece on one screen. "I have found this data which was given to me by the AI which was once dormant in the elf's ruins. It shows records that the New Human have created this weapon against the Old humans in the ancient battle." The screen then shows the scanned image of Vandel's Armor which was emitting a higher energy level than before. "Its power is tremendous, but it has a high risk of use to anyone who will die when using it."
"to sacrifice this old husk of mine for power…" Vandel spoke as his Armor's eyes pulsated and its blackish red flesh grew out tentacles that were out of control. "Interesting."
"Stop it!" Kira shouted as the Freedom looks at the Demonic Armor. "you're killing yourself as you use that thing! You need to get rid of it before!"
"before what? I die?" Vandel spoke as his Demonic Armor's eyes glows red while its size slowly grows and become more monster-like. "I told you before, didn't I? to fulfill my duties as the Principality's knight…" its fleshly frame soon grew out sharp black blades while its head has part of its mouth open to reveal monstrous fangs and a long disgusting tongue. "I'LL SACRIFICE EVERYTHING TO ENSURE MY KINGDOM'S VICTORY!"
"DANGER! Higher energy level detected from the Black Knight's Armor!" Hachi reported while making alarm sounds. "Kira! Get away from him! his Demonic Armor is going berserk!"
"What!?" Kira looks surprised before he quickly pulls back the control rods to make the Freedom fly away as the Demonic Armor swung an arm that stretches and nearly hits the Gundam. "this is!"
"f-for the v-victory of t-t-the PRINCIPALITY! GRAAAHHH!"Vandel roars out as his Demonic Armor grew larger as it had more tentacles and eyes appearing all over its monstrous form. "FOR THE PRINCIPALITY!"
"The demonic armor piece has now affected his mind and cause an unstable growth of power from within its very frame!" Hachi reported as the AI showed the data of the Demonic Armor's power levels just rising. "Kira! You need to get away from it!"
"But!" Kira pulls back a control rods as the Freedom flies away from Vandel's Armor which roars loudly while chasing the Gundam in the sky. "if I let this be! The Black Knight will!"
All the sudden, the Demonic Armor suddenly appears above the Freedom as the monster had suddenly gained higher speed.
"What!?" Kira looks up in surprise as the Freedom raises its shield and managed to defend against another sword strike from the Demonic Armor, but the force of the power was overwhelming to the point that the shield was destroyed and the Gundam was sent flying straight for the ground. "I-It's so strong!"
The Freedom falls before it regains its flight, the Gundam changing its trajectory by turning and then flying to the side in dodging a sword thrust strike from the Demonic Armor that growls loudly while its eyes pulsate and looks at the Mobile suit before firing its lasers.
Kira turns and twists his control rods while pushing and pulling the pedals as his Freedom dodges all the lasers with several spins and twirls before it aims its beam rifle at the Demonic armor and fired several shots which were dodged when it flew off to the sky and chased after the Gundam.
In time, the two clashed as the Freedom wielded both of its beam sabers which were swung down to block an upward sword strike from the Black Knight's Armor. The clash caused sparks to fly as the two tried to push each other away but that power struggle resulted in both being pushed back but only to come back by clashing their weapons repeatedly.
"High energy level readings are emitted by the Black Knight's Armor!" Hachi reported to Kira who keeps on struggling in his battle against the Principality's knight. The AI showed the stats of the Black Knight's Armor which is giving off a high energy level reading. "it's becoming unstable!"
"Raaaahh!" Vandel roared out as his demonic Armor flew straight for Kira and then swings its sword straight for the Freedom that dodges by doing a quick barrel roll and then in turns before positioning out its Balaena Cannon while upside down.
Kira hardens his gaze before he pressed the trigger and his Gundam fired two charged plasma beams that flew and hits the Black Knight's Armor head on which cause a huge explosion.
The Freedom turns and balance itself in the air as the Gundam looks at the smoke of the explosion which soon blows away when the demonic armor swung its left arm which had turned into bladed tentacles. The Black Knight's flesh Armor is damaged as it had defended against the attack but at the cost of its right arm that is hanging on its body by only a few strands of blackish red flesh.
"This isn't ending at all." Kira huffs his breathing as he watches the demonic armor that is regenerating its wounds, but its former right arm had fallen off its body. "Each time his Armor gets damaged, it would just regenerate…" he checks a screen which shows the Demonic Armor's energy level that is lower than before. "But each time it regenerates, its power is drained by a significant amount." He looks back at his foe as it created two large swords from its flesh arms. "in order to defeat it…" he hardens his gaze before he pulls a control rod back and then forward which made his mobile suit's thrusters ignite at full power which cause it to dash straight at the demonic monster armor. "I have to just keep on fighting!"
"Die! Boy!" Vandel roars out as his Armor flies straight for the Freedom and the two clashed in close quarter combat with their respective weapons.
Both robots swung their weapons repeatedly numerous times as they would create sparks of electricity each time the beam sabers and the swords came into contact.
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
