---UC 257, January 3rd, Side 3---

A large podium stood in front of the Zeon Zum Deikun Memorium. People had flocked in droves as Crimson Hold, the leader of this new Zeon faction had staged a Rally.

"Spacenoids... We are at war. It is an old war, a war that has raged for over 250 years now. A war between the Earth and those who shed her bonds. Many have arisen. Warlords, Tyrants, Politicians, Terrorists..." He turned to look at the Statue "Visionaries... Today, i am sad to say that i must play a role that no-one wishes to play. I am the revolutionary that must revive Zeon, once again. I know, this grave has been desecrated MANY times. So, my anger towards the Federation should be of no surprise. Not that I have revived Zeon in order to reconquer Space for the Spacenoids, but because they forced me to make such a dull and predictably repetative move. "The Revival of the great Principality of Zeon." One might call this the "Pawns Defense" of "How to start a war in the Universal Century." The name inspires fear and awe. To some of you, it inspires images of great Zaku's rolling over Federation tanks. Of the Red Comet and White Devil trading Beam-saber clashes at Jaburo, A Baoa Qu and Texas Colony. To others, it may represent the cruelty of the Zabi family, of the colony's dropped on Sydney and Dublin, the madness of Char Aznable and his attempt to drop Axis. To me, it represents the ideals of Zeon Zum Deikun; of his love for humanity and his wishing for them to move into outer space."

"I am not a politician, i am not a dictator, despite what the Federations propaganda would have you believe. I am simply a man who has grown sick and tired of those on Earth continuing to live on and pollute our beautiful cradle, to pass laws that benefit only those on earth and laws that are to the detriment of only the colonists. With your help, your support, we will be able to go to war with the Federation and force them to leave Earth so that she can recover and our childrens children will be able to enjoy her beauty. To make them understand what it is like to live in Space and why their uncaringness towards us cannot continue. Who knows, maybe it will lead us to accelerate our plans as we, the human race, begin to move forward with the colonization of Mars, Jupiter and the other heavenly bodies. Maybe in 100 billion years, when our sun goes Supernova, our decendants will look back on us and say "It is still the most beautiful planet, I am glad our ancestors were able to enjoy it."

"We are not going to make the same mistakes of Past Zeon's. Under the Zabi's, Haman Karn, Char Aznable, Edric Deikun and Prathacun Toto. We will fight this war with conventional weapons. Nothing so underhanded as Operation British. We will fight with Mobile Suits, with Warships and we will fight their armies, not their civilians. Because this war will be for you, the people. That is why i will come onto my next point. There will be no "Hail Zeons" Because Zeon is nothing without its people. Instead, i hail to you. I lead you because i am the manifestation of your wishes and your wants." He steps out from behind the bullet proof in front of his podium. "And finally, we will differ for the main reason that counts." He pulls out a gun and fires a shot into the air. "Do not be alarmed. I merely wish to show you that this gun is real. There has always been a divide between the Rulers and the Citizens of the governments, be they Earthling or Spacenoid, so i issue this to you. Anyone that does not wish for me to go through with this, this gun is loaded and i will hand it over to any of you that wishes to "Stop my evil plan" My guards have been ordered to not interfere and i promise now, whoever chooses to do so will not receive any punishment." He looks around at the crowd. "Come on, i'm deadly serious. The price of Peace is at an all-time low. Less than a bag of bread. Whoever does go through with this, you will be labelled a hero. You stopped a war by a despot that will kill millions of people... Not a man here will punish you. Not a man here CAN punish you, because your punishment will be more severe than any court can possibly give down. You will lay awake at night and ask "What if he was right? What if we could have done it... What if i ended any and all hope for the freedom of Spacenoids?" Because, dear people, i promise you, i will not be the last. I will not be the last person to dig up the name of Zeon Deikun, but i am the only one to take up his name with honest and true intentions. The next despot may be a power hungry lunatic that drops another colony on Earth, a madman like Jamitov Hymen who gasses any colony that refuses to follow him. You need to look around and ask yourself. "Do i wish to follow him?" Well, do you? If not, then please," He put the gun to his own temple "Put me out of my misery now, because if the Spacenoids will not follow, then we have failed before we have started." He looked around the rally, there was an eerie silence. A crowd full of resolute faces that said they were behind him all the way. "Thank you, people of Side 3. We need to stand together. We need to rise up whilst we have the chance to do it with morals. We need to rise up whilst we have the chance to do it with Integrity! We need to rise up so that our children and our childrens children do not have to. HAIL TO THE PEOPLE! HAIL TO THE PEOPLE! HAIL TO THE PEOPLE!" The cheering echoed throughout the colony as, once again, the long since scrapped hull of the Principality of Zeon began to stir with life, to come out of its hybernation to, once again, wage war on the Earth Federation.

Crimson Hold, the leader of this new Zeon faction stood at the head of the war room. "Soldiers of Zeon... Until now, our forces have been making paultry hit-and-run raids against the Federation. Consolidating our forces, preventing the bulk of the Federations military from getting into space. We knew this would happen when we signed up for it, but today, playing defense ends. We take the fight to them." A schematic appeared on the board behind him "Advent Colony. Side 7, an uneventful place, except for this:" A poster came up on the screen, advertising an Air-Show, where, for the first time, the Gundams from the "Amuro Ray Memorial Museum" were going to be flying and taking part in mock battles. "The Gundams are the Federations most prized possessions, they are a symbol of power... But, Amuro Ray was a Spacenoid, he faught against the Federation on many occassions, i believe that the Gundams should serve as a symbol of Spacenoid freedom, not Federation Might. We have a number of spies already infiltrating the air-show. They will take control of the Gundams and use them to take control of one of the colony's entrances. Now, those Gundams won't have any ammunition for their weapons, with the exception of their Beam-Sabers, so don't expect fire-support from them. As soon as we have control of one of the colony's entrances, our Mobile Suits will invade the colony and, with any luck, force a surrender quickly and with as little loss of life as possible." The next slide showed the list of equipment.

"Missile launchers, Vulkans and Beam Sabers only on this one, no Beam rifles, we don't want to risk puncturing the colony itself." He said. "Now, our main risks on this operation will be local stationed garrisons, maybe a handful of old Jegans and GM's. Not too much of a threat, according to our intel, rookie pilots and outdated equipment, but our main concern is rumours that the Excaliber Battlegroup may be lurking in the area. This is why we need to take control of Advent quickly, if we can take control and get the A Baoa Qu inside, they will have no choice but to retreat or risk destroying the colony. As much as we all like to buy into the propaganda, i seriously doubt that they will be willing to take such a risk. The only other risk is this area." A small block of the colony diagram started to glow "Sector 78, we have detected some rather weak spots in the colony's superstructure and believe that even a stray vulcan shot in the area could pose an immense risks. No firing in that area, no chasing enemy suits into that area, no fleeing into that area." He said with a look that could melt steel. He wasn't joking around with that statement. "I want all pilots to their suits and prepare for launch, Sortie in 30 minutes." He saluted to his men "Captain Cadogan, i leave them in your capable hands" He said to the Newtype pilot, before meeting with the captain of the ship, Captain Cromwell, at the door and they began to walk away.

"So, today we're really going to take it to 'em. I hear Excaliber is in the area." Said the Captain.

"He is and that Gundam of his is going to be a pain in my ass, but according to all of the simulations we ran based on its combat data, and what i remember, NuSazabi is more than a match for it."

"Well, make sure to keep it away from my ship, she's not good at taking hits from mega particle cannons." Cromwell laughed. "I still can't believe it, though... 20 years is a long time..."

"Yes, now look at us, I'm leader of the free world and you're under me now. The Federation sowed these seeds 20 years ago. Now, they have sprouted into new battles."
