Sousuke was shocked at first when he heard someone open a channel with him and heard his pondering. He was more taken aback when he heard the pilot’s answer. Whatever control of his temper he had when he shouted, “Accept it?! I’m supposed to want to kill people?!” He raced behind a Generic when he prepared to attack. As soon as the Centennial sliced at the standing Generic’s central weakness and made a slice towards the ZETA. The ZETA brought its beam saber to make contact when Sousuke warned, “Say that again and I won’t accept your help!” The Centennial broke away from its clash when it turned to face the remaining Generics before the stream of debris made its way over his head. Sousuke looked up at the vortex when he had the blades prepared and moving forward to stop its advance.

“What the hell is he doing?!” Meyryth asked against formality. “If he damages the Gundam at all, he’d better be ready for a court martial!”
Terzo had every bit of concern of the situation and Meyryth’s attitude when he asked, “Is the pilot in any sense of mental stability sir?”
Kira answered the concern, “This is his first battle. Unfortunately he must be permitting personal feeling to interfere with his judgment right now.”
Meyryth grasped her fist when she promised herself, “If this kid is going to act like a rookie then he better be ready to take discipline like one.”
“Focus all forward fire at the enemy’s attacks. We have to prepare for take-off.”
“Understood sir. All hand prepare for ascension. We are making our way towards the hangar bay.” As the order was given the Archangel rose from the ground and moments later began to move forward to the colony entryway while the spikes and vortex of debris were held back by the two Gundams in front.

Athrun observed the activity in the loading bay when he saw the signatures in Hangar 4 signaling its preparation. He made his way to the Infinity to contact the Archangel, “Kira, the Terminus is being boarded. The crew should be able to meet you on entry.” When he gave the report he saw the two Actualizer mobile suits headed his way and recognized the danger before him. “The enemy is trying to make an escape! If they continue this way they’ll make contact with the civilians!”

Terzo reported to his superior, “Commander, the enemy is reaching the end of the colony. Commander Zala is right about the enemy’s approach but we won’t make it in time. Orders?”
Kira gripped the arm of his chair when he commanded, “Send the ZETA and the Centennial to the enemy’s location. Don’t let them destroy any more of the colony.”
One of the operators observed the destruction outside asking, “Will we have to hold against the enemy fire sir? They’re still intent on crushing us!”
“Kira recognized the observation before he ordered, “We have to take off now. Maintain our shields and prepare to break through. Send out the Gundams.”
Terzo contacted the Centennial and the ZETA, “Attention pilots, prepare to move out to the colony hangar bay area. Do everything to prevent the enemy from harming the civilians.”

Sousuke heard the order as the Centennial sliced through a side of the vortex of debris initially about to snap at his superior. When he heard civilians mentioned a rush of concern came over him before he gasped, “Mei!” The Centennial split from the ZETA’s position in a rushed flight towards the area of the colony’s hangars.
The Actualizer mobile suits were near the area where Athrun’s Infinity was located but were cut short when the Centennial caught up to them. The Centennial sliced downward to Tadgh’s mobile suit when Sousuke charged with a yell.

The holographic map of the colony provided a visual as an Alliance operative reported, “Admiral, the colony is evacuating. The civilians are preparing to make a route to the nearest area of safety.” As the fleet encircling the colony observed its activities the newly appointed Admiral watched the civilian ships make their way out.
When it seemed the last one was on its way out the Admiral ordered, “Move in and see the civilians find their way to safety. Prepare to meet the enemy with everything available.”
One of the operatives observed the battle map agreeing, “Yes sir. The fleet is moving in.”
One of the panelists nearby asked, “Will we be enough to take down the enemy sir?”
The Admiral answered, “The interior defenses clearly aren’t enough but the force we have will deal the damage necessary.” He turned to some nearby operators ordering, “Launch all mobile suits to the colony entry. Don’t let the enemy escape.”
“Yes sir. Launching all squadrons now.”
On that order the Earth Alliance fleet sent its squadrons of GAT-410 Breakers to the opening of the colony. Whether or not they could handle what would come the Alliance had its forced prepared what was thought to be the dormant enemy.
