While the building was held on lockdown a squad of soldiers led by Hyrum made their way to find Colonel Georges Quessy along with a few soldiers trying to hold their own against incoming Coalition troops. “Colonel! Are you alright?”
The Colonel holstered his gun when he answered, “Nothing severe. Unfortunately the Coalition is going to have us on lockdown. If they have those mobile suits we won’t have any other option than to accept their control.”
“I take it we don’t have a plan to accept those terms?”
“None at all. Unfortunately it is going to require some demanding odds as you might guess.”
Hyrum looked through the streets before he pressured, “We have to get to the nearest hangar. Let’s hope we can beat some of those guys to the punch.” The band of soldiers agreed to this and ran through the streets towards the military installments of the city.

Hyurm and the others found their way to the hangar bay area searching for their only hopes of fighting back. Hyrum turned around the corner of the fence when he found Till trying to make his way into a nearby hangar. "Lord Lindemann?"
Another soldier pointed out, "He's trying to find a way in it looks like."
Hyrum turned to the left when there were more Coalition soldiers making their way towards their location. "Lord Lindemann! Get down!" Hyrum fired his pistol while the others began to rush up to the Lord’s defense. "Provide him some covering fire!" The Coalition forces were spread thin from the view of the Earth Sphere soldiers but soon just about any discovery would be dangerous for their intentions. Their first relief came when the Coalition soldiers seemed to die down for now.

Colonel Huerta turned off his communication device when he reported to Edward, "General, we have the Sol Thero units in our sight."
"The Sol Theros have arrived?" Edward asked no one in particular. "It would seem we anticipated their arrival later than possible." He didn’t choose to let this interfere when he ordered, "Take all of the mobile suits and prepare to meet with them. Don't let a single one be left behind."
"The Parliament sir?" The Colonel asked.
Edward considered the next option when he ordered, "Keep them under our range. We must have them as prisoners." 
"Undestood sir." “All guarding units. Back away from the building until the invading forces have been dealt with.”
"It will be a perfect opportunity. Once we have held back the Sol Thero enemies I shall be the only remaining leader left." Edward mused to himself. He stepped back to the nearest building his guards had taken to defend and waited in anticipation.

The Earth Sphere soldiers managed to find several nearby hangars preparing to release their newly acquired Panther units when one of them reported, "They're moving out. The hangars should be open now."
"Come on let's move in. We have to get at least one squad." Hyrum commanded.
Before the soldiers could rush for the nearest mobile suit they were flanked when a Coalition leader ordered, “The Earth Sphere is in there! Stop them!” The two sides were forced into another gunfight when Hyrum saw more of his men fall from the surprise attack.
“Damn it not again!”
“How many of them do we have to fend off?” Two different soldiers commented.
One of the soldiers next to Hyrum pointed out, “More than we can handle at this point. We need to get reinforcements.”
Hyrum worked on his communication device when he prayed, “Come on Major you have to still be there.”

Heero rushed to his phone hoping to find an update on the situation outside. His communication hails were answered when Hyrum’s voice confirmed, “Reporting sir.”
"Lieutenant what is happening out there?"
Gunfire sounded before Hyrum answered, "Major, we've got Coalition soldiers who found their way in. It's possible Blare is trying to usurp power."
"Damn. How else would they have known how to get it?" Heero cursed at the situation. He regained his authority when he ordered, "Maintain your positions. I'll send my men in to assist."
"The more the better sir. We need to keep them from getting the mobile suits."
Heero confirmed the location of the Coalition soldiers when he asked, "They want control of our mobile suit forces?"
"And to fend off against the Sol Theros it looks like. I don't know how many of them we're going to need. We better be ready though."
Heero knew there was no point in trying to find further information when he ended the call, "I'm moving out now." He turned to see Relena overhearing the conversation when he told her, "Stay here. Don't let anyone in."
Relena agreed to his request, "Of course."

The Sol Thero units were approaching the installment of Quebec City without any issue and found their target within range. Their programming took an evaluation of the city. There were mobile suits activating behind the walls while the artillery was being operated. 'Target acquired. All systems engage.' The eight Sol Theros opened their missile ports and fired on the Parliamentary Building. Volleys were fired and the destruction became instantaneous. While Panther units were making their way towards the city walls a number of squadrons had already been destroyed.

Colonel Huerta saw the explosions from afar when the Sol Thero units were "General, the Sol Thero units have already begun to make their way through!"
Edward held himself in this moment of triumph, "Don't let them in! It's time for us to establish our defense!” Right from behind him Edward heard a gunshot fly into one of his guards. “Where did that fire come from?”
One of the soldiers managed to report among the ricocheting gunfire, “Enemy fire! They’re trying to flank us from behind!”
Edward rallied his nearby troops, “Form up on me! Don’t let them near our positions!”

One of the soldiers taking cover next to Heero reported, "We've got them pinned down sir. The only direction they'll have is to head into the building."
Another one nearby asked, "Is it a good idea? They still have the Parliament inside."
Heero quickly overlooked Blare’s tactics in play before explaining, "Blare isn't letting anyone in at the moment. He knows the Sol Theros will endanger his troops. He has too few to hold them for long."
“That would make for a risky operation if they just brought the bare minimum.”
“Trying to take a city is always that way from the inside. At least the Sol Theros should keep them from moving further in for now.” Heero agreed before raising his gun to fire at the nearest Coalition soldier.

Edward found the gunfire approaching his men and he knew what remaining here would risk. “Damn it. I won’t die out here so unceremoniously! Colonel don’t let them in!”
“Yes sir.” Colonel Huerta commanded the nearest jeep driver, “Get the General to safety! Don’t let the enemy pass us!”

One of Heero’s men managed to hear the sound of Edward’s jeep driving away when he assumed, “Sounds like Blare is trying to get to a safe zone for now.”
“At least so he can wait out this battle of his.” Another corrected.
Heero turned to another soldier asking, “Captain. Can I trust you to lead these men?”
“I can do that sir. What do you need me to wait here for?”
“I have to move in and help our boys in the hangar fields.”
“You do that sir. Don’t let any more of our units fall into enemy hands.”
“I hope it will be enough.” Heero agreed. His men formed up on him and moved out to the nearest route for the hangar bays.

A few rounds of gunfire were shot before the Earth Sphere soldiers managed to take out the final Coalition soldiers within. One of the Earth Sphere soldiers reported to Hyrum, "Lieutenant, it looks like we've got one squad secured. But the Sol Theros have already started firing on us. They seem to be interested in the enemy right now."
Hyrum could tell from the number of explosions taking place outside this was probably an accurate assumption. "Don't activate the mobile suits yet. They might find us down here. If we just wait out these guys we should be able to even the odds against the Coalition soldiers."
One of the soldiers from the upper scaffoldings asked, "You're sure they won't get in here?"
Hyrum offered to the men behind him, "If they do then we'll have to give them the best final stand we have to offer. We're not going to let the mobile dolls replace us! Get to those pilot seats and get ready for defense!"
A chorus of, "Affirmative sir!" allowed Hyrum to confirm their preparation. 
While they waited on watch one of the soldiers near the entrance pointed, “We’ve got reinforcements it looks like.”
Heero and his squad made their way into the hangar when Hyrum saluted, “Major. It’s good to see you made it here.”
“How many of you are left?”
“We’ve got enough pilots to activate this squad. If you, the Colonel and Lord Lindemann stay behind we should be able to provide some protection.”
One of Hyrum’s men gestured to his right, “The hangar next to us hasn’t been opened yet. There might be enough time to break in and get those mobile suits before the enemy has a chance.”
Heero was quick to form another plan when he ordered, “I’ll need any remaining men you have to form up on me and assist in taking the hangar. We’ll provide assistance as soon as you give the signal Lieutenant.”
Hyrum confirmed the order, “Good and clear sir. Just be sure to move out when we say it should be our only option.”
Heero agreed with the request when he reminded, “We’re here to take back the capital. Not let the enemy overtake us.
