-Linebreak-

It's been 4 months since Kira arrived in Ad Stella, he's managed to be introduced to the others and explained his current predicament to some trusted members, aka mentally sixteen-year-old now a five-year-old, while also making some bullshit as to why he's here to other staff members. They questioned it at first but they'll let it slide soon after. It was also decided between Cardo, Elnora, and Kira that his predicament is a secret and they'll reveal this secret to members that they trust. 

ALSO! He's also been introduced to Elnora's husband, Nadim Samaya, and their daughter Ericht Samaya, who's a year younger than him and he's getting along with her pretty well when he introduced himself to Ericht. Then Kira unlock his then-damaged Strike's OS in the cockpit so the data can be looked over so that the repair crew could repair, or give some upgrades, on the Strike. Funnily tho, they know why the Strike is a Gundam...IT'S BECAUSE OF THE OS! Imagine their reactions that the Strike isn't equipped with the GUND-Format haha! Then he started to help people in Vanadis and the members just praised him as Kira gained the moniker "Vanadis' Rising Prodigy". During his time there, he was adopted by the Samaya Family, which was supposed to make him Kira Samaya, but Kira himself keeps his Yamato name so it's Kira Samaya Yamato. 

Currently in whatever month is today in Ad Stella... 

"Restarting Permet link connection test. Three. Two. One. Interconnect established. Currently on layer 31. Please commence calling."

"Understood." replied Elnora, currently in Lfrith and wearing a pilot suit as she did what Cardo told her, "Commencing call to layer 31."

"No abnormalities detected in GUND Format. Connect to layer 32."

"Calling layer 32."

"Callback confirmed. Connect to layer 33."

"Calling layer 33." then Elnora pushed a lever but an error message was shown on the monitor.

"Error. No callback. Fallback to layer 10."

"Calling from layer 10 to 33 again." she tried again, but to no avail.

"Error. No callback." 

"Calling layer 33." she tried again.

"Error. No callback." but it failed. Again.

"LF-03 to Thrall. Requesting increase in GUND Format score."

"Negative. That's contrary to the test objective."

"We don't have time." argued Elnora as she did an "I'll do this myself" move, "Executing now."

"Hold on!" Elnora then tried to push the trigger on the lever of Lfrith but to no avail, "Elnora. Let's end for the day."

"I'm not yet in the dangerous range. Let me increase the level and test layer 33-"

"That's enough, Elnora."  The stern finality words from Cardo reached Elnora, who then hesitated as she accepted her defeat with a, "Yes ma'am." reply.

"Test concluded. Begin analysis of Pemut influx values."
"Understood. Beginning analysis."
"Detected any abnormal fluctuations?"
"Look for tremors before the fluctuation."

The many various voices of people that are working at the Vanadis Institute are heard as the Lfrith's cockpit opened with Elnora taking off her helmet.

"Don't get too worked up." Cardo said as she float towards Elnora and Lfrith.

"Dr. Cardo." came the reply of Elnora as Cardo reached the Lfrith Gundam, which is revealed to have a lot of wires plugged in. Beside the Lfrith is the repaired GAT-X105 Strike Gundam, instead of being in its dull grey form, it's now in its dominantly white with a mix of blue and red form since its armor is now upgraded with the armor most Ad Stella mobile suits used, but they kept the Phase Shift System since its a good alternative according to most workers that repaired the Strike.

"If you can't clear this, then no one can."

"We need to prove the soundness of the GUND Format as soon as possible." said Elnora as she tightened her grip on her helmet, "Otherwise the council will..."

"Our success won't mean a thing." argued Cardo, "If you're crippled for life." Damn didn't know that Cardo can roast that bad for an old lady.

"But-" "Besides, someone's here to see you."

"What" That got Elnora out of what she was about to argue with her mentor as she heard the voice of her cheerful daughter.

"Momma-Woah!" Ericht Samaya called out to her mother while she was trying to float down to Elnora and Cardo but she failed as she spun in the air as the staff of Vanadis looked at Ericht about how cute the scene is. 

"Eri!" Elnora then float towards Ericht as she caught her.

"Mama! Papa's waiting for you too! Let's have cake together with Nii-nii!" cheered the lil tanuki to her mother.

"Haven't I told you that you're not allowed to come here? And Kira is teaching the Strike."

"Then let's get Nii-nii when he and Strike-nii are done!" then she looked at Lfrith, "Is she still asleep?" 

Elnora just looked at the Mobile Suit she was in as she just silently nodded to Ericht's question about Lfrith, "Yes. You're right."

"What a naughty girl. It's time to rise and shine." then Ericht looked at the Strike, "At least Strike-nii is awake."

"Lfrith is still an infant while Strike is a toddler." came the voice of Cardo from the comms speakers.

"So a baby?" 

"Yes. She doesn't even know how to turn over in bed." continued Cardo as some of the workers currently present just watched the interaction while the rest are just working on the Lfrith but of course, they're listening, "She's the child of all the staff members here. Now your mommy is trying to teach her all sorts of stuff while Kira is teaching the Strike the complicated ones."

"I see..." then she looked at her mother, "Then I'm her big sister!"

Then Wendy and Nyla looked at the 2 floating Sumayas.

"How old are you now, Eri?" asked Nyla from the ground.

"I'm four!" cheerfully replied Ericht. Then we heard a cockpit opening sound as the staff looked at the mobile suit next to Lfrith. When the cockpit opened inside we see Kira in his Earth Alliance pilot suit in his Gundam, finished with his virtual simulation. Said kid now looks like he's 16 now due to his limbs, but they're just prosthetics so he can reach the controls of his Gundam.

Hey, don't worry they're removable to reveal his 5-year-old limbs. Those prosthetics are just made for him so he can be at his prime again, it only took them 2 months to calculate and build it. Thank you Vanadis. And behind the Strike is a separate storage trailer for its weapons and Striker Packs.

Kira then took off his helmet to reveal his 5-year-old face, Ericht is now happy to see him as she called him out.

"Ah! Nii-nii!" Kira then looked back at Ericht as he smiled.

-Linebreak-

Still at Vanadis, first, it showed the mass-produced Lfrith Gundams in a hangar.

"As of the 20th, the 3rd Autonomous Sector has approved a budget to purchase Gundam-type mobile suits manufactured by Ochs Earth." then at the 3rd Autonomous Sector conference as a man explained the current predicament, "Ochs Earth's weapon system has raised major concerns regarding bioethical issues for its pilots," then clips of a strike regarding about the Gundam was shown, specifically a sign that says "GUNDAM TOOK MY CHILD'S LIFE!" and other clips, "And the accountability of the company, as well as the Mobile Suit Development Council, has been called into question."

"Originally, the GUND Format was a medical technology meant to assist with physical dysfunctions caused by the space environment."  informed a man from the news said as several clips about the GUND Format were shown, including the one with Vanadis, "However when the Vanadis Institute, the lead researcher on the project, was acquired by Ochs Earth, the GUND Format was repurposed for military mobile suits. Physical damage to its pilots due to data storms then emerged as a problem." Then a clip from a hospital with its patients or rather victims from the Gundams was shown.

Then we switched to a ZOOM Meeting.

"Just imagine." started a man with a barely bald head, "An 18-meter tall giant frame moving with non-biological mechanisms, controlled by forcibly linking it to a human body. The burden placed on the pilot must be immeasurable!"

Then another clip switch.

"The recent mobile suit buildup may provide Earth with an excuse to expand its military and accelerate tensions between both sides..."

Until it was turned off by Nadim Samaya, who is holding a tray of food ofc.

"Say all you want about our products." grumbled Nadim as he put away the remote. Then the door of the Samaya quarters opened as Ericht, Kira, without his prosthetics and in casual clothing which is a red shirt and blue shorts, which suits him currently because he's 5 years old, and Elnora entered.

"Papa, I'm home!" Ericht cheered as tried to run to Nadim, but due to her stubby little legs, she tripped only to be caught and supported by Kira and Nadim.

"Nadim-san this looks great." Kira commented as Elnora's just amazed at the decorations for Ericht's birthday.

"Yeah. I'm sorry you had to do everything."

"It's fine. Eri helped out too." reassured Nadim as Eri then cheered, "I did this part too!". I don't know what part she is talking about but I'm gonna assume its the decorations.

Elnora, being the mother of a 4-year-old, praised her daughter, "You're amazing! It looks so pretty."

In return Ericht just puffed her chest out.

"Eri. Why don't you show mama your birthday hat?" asked Nadim as Ericht nodded as she went ahead to find her birthday hat as the grown-ups, along with a mentally 16-year-old, just smiled at the lil tanuki. With Ericht out of the way, Nadim then looked at Elnora.

"Layer 33 again?" 

Elnora sighed when her husband asked that. "If I don't clear that soon it'll mean trouble for everyone."

"I'm sorry. This wouldn't have happened if the higher-ups weren't in a rush to roll out the Lfrith." Then Elnora put a hand on Nadim's arm.

"We needed a sponsor anyway. You helped us, Nadim." reassured Elnora to Nadim.

"I just hope the council will stay quiet until the deadline." hoped Nadim.

"And I just hope the others are quiet about the Strike and I." joined Kira as he just took a bite of the cooked food. Nadim noticed it as he panicked.

"Oi Kira! It's not the time yet." scolded Nadim to Kira as the boy himself finished it.

"Sorry Nadim-san, but I was hungry." Kira replied as Nadim just sighed and Elnora just giggled at the scene.

-Linebreak-

Now we're in a different location. In space. Anyways, here we are at the Mobile Suit Development Font, according to the wiki, and the Mobile Suit Defense Council is in a meeting with the leaders all around in a circle, obviously, sitting on chairs.

"The press conference is in one hour," said Vim Jeturk. I am not going to describe his appearance or any characters, no need for that since you guys did watch the anime. If not then what the heck are you doing? Go watch it! Or just check the wiki. Or I'll just post the picture here on Wattpad? Eh, I'll just make a character chapter. If I do it. ANYWAYS! 

"This is the end of Ochs Earth." said the CEO of the Jeturk Heavy Machinery, "This is what happens when Earthians get presumptuous."

"Hopefully it'll be as easy as you say." replied Sarius Zenelli as he looked at the CEO beside him, "We don't know if Dr. Cardo Nabo will comply."

"Are you sure this is okay?" asked a man who I don't know his name, but let's call him Bob, as he looked to another man at his left, who I decided to call Jeff, "We may be overstepping the bounds of private enterprise..."

"You say that at this stage of the game?" argued Jeff to Bob.

"What's wrong with overstepping them?" then said the big bad himself. Delling Rembran.

"We're not asking for your opinion, Delling." said a random member to Delling.

"Once those guys at the Vanadis Institute complete their Gundam, it will be too late." said Delling to his members, "As the Mobile Suit Development Council, we must make a decision. So that humanity can remain in peace, we must wield the hammer of witches."

-Linebreak-

Now we're back at the Vanadis Institute and at the Samaya Quarters, we see the Samaya Family gathered around the table, with Ericht cheering on her strawberry cake and Elnora with a lited up candle with Kira and Nadim just watching.

"I'm putting in the candles now." said Elnora as she was about to put the candle on top of the cake, but her GUND prosthetic arm then went low bat as it lightly hit the table, "Oh my..."

"Mommy?" asked Ericht, worried about her mother as Elnora herself just reassured her.

"Sorry, give me a moment." Elnora then rolled up her sleeves to reveal the prosthetic limb, then she twisted the arm to remove it as she then tucked it on her armpits.

"I just noticed that your GUND prosthetic arm always stops working, Elnora-san." commented Kira as he observed Elnora switching the batteries of her prosthetic arm, with Ericht agreeing with him.

"You can call me Kaa-san you know, Kira. But yes, you are right. Without this technology, I wouldn't be alive right now." Elnora replied as she reattached the arm and moved it around, "So Dr. Cardo is my teacher, who saved my life." Elnora said as she looked at the photo behind Ericht, which is revealed to be a younger Elnora and Cardo.

"Granny's awesome!" cheered the girl as Nadim just scolded her by calling out her name, but Elnora just dismissed that.

"Dr. Cardo isn't one to fuss about what people call her." Elnora reassured her husband.

"Even so, that's rude."

"Yeah, but Ericht here is 4 years old, she'll learn about rudeness and politeness in the meantime when she grows up." Kira said as Nadim just sighed and smiled in return to the boy's comment.

"Yeah, you're right." Then phone beeps can be heard from Nadim's phone, who just took it out and looked at it.

"Is that from headquarters?" asked Elnora to Nadim, who nod at her for confirmation as he stood up and went to the door, "Just a moment, Eri." said Nadim to Ericht which she reacted back with an "Eeehh???".

"Papa has work." assured Elnora, but Ericht didn't like it as she was starting to have a tantrum.

"No! I want it cut now! Now!" 

"Oi! Ericht, calm down!" Kira said as he and Elnora tried to calm her down

Nadim then went to the room that leads to his workshop. Or Office. IDK. As he talked to the person on his phone as he sat down facing his computer.

"The council is holding a meeting now." said his co-worker as Nadim was met with the face of his coworker named Yamoaka and retorted, "But it's not even the deadline yet!"

"It was Delling. He's behind this." informed Yamoaka.

"That ex-military guy?" asked Nadim as Yamoaka continued giving him info.

"We don't know what he'll do. You be careful too."

-Linebreak-

Then we switched back to space as a transport ship is on its way to Vanadis' asteroid base, Folkvangr.

"Folkvangr to transport ship Begavent. Control 173." called out a Vanadis Operator to the transport ship, who then replied back, "This is Begavent. Communicating with 173. Distance to Gate Entrance is 22."

"Course confirmed. Please enter through gate 3."

Unknown to the operator, on another side of Folkvangr, a member of Delling's Faction is hacking on one of the dish satellite's uhh...CPU's? Idk what they're called tbh.

-Linebreak-

"The ship's here! Come help me move, Wendy." Nyle said as she floated down to Wendy, who is wearing her pilot suit and at the Lfrith Pre-Production Model looking at her tablet.

"Tariff rates have increased so much recently." replied the blonde without looking at her close friend, "It's pissing me off."

"Transportation isn't free, you know?" reasoned Nyla to Wendy, who then pointed out in return in this conversation, "The Spacians are monopolizing it unreasonably." pointed out Wendy.

"I'll treat you something after this." Nyla said as she just squeezed some juice out of her canister to Wendy, who just looked at her, "Come on."

"That's cheating." Wendy then drank the floating juice to her as she floated to Nyla.

Back at the Samaya Quarters, Elnora is in the kitchen, crouching as she's trying to find a fork that Ericht could eat with, then she found it.

"I found it Eri!" cheered Elnora as she raised the fork over her head and the counter, "This is the one, right?" then she looked over the counter only to find no one but her birthday hat, "Eri?"

Then at the hangar, as the doors opened, Eri peeked her head out with a pout as she glared at the Lfrith and then the Strike. Then Kira poked his head out and asked her what the fuck is she doing. Minus the curse word of course.

"What the heck are you gonna do, Eri?" Kira asked as Ericht just ignored him and floated to the mobile suits in between.

"Just wake up already!" shouted the girl specifically to the two Gundams, "Papa, Mama, and Nii-nii... Everyone only cares about you two! It's supposed to be my birthday today!"

"I'm sorry about that." came the voice of Cardo in the Lfrith as the cockpit opened to reveal the old lady herself.

"Granny./Cardo-san." replied the two toddlers as they floated to the head of Vanadis.

"You came here alone again didn't you Eri?" 

"Nu-uh! Nii-nii accompanied me!" Kira just sheepishly chuckled as he scratched the back of his head when Ericht pointed at him.

"Even so, Elnora said that you're not supposed to." Cardo said as she floated to Ericht and Kira.

Ericht looked down in shame, but soon after she looked at Lfrith then at the Strike, "But... Are they important to you?"

"She is/Yep." came the replies of Kira and Cardo.

"Why?" Ericht asked as she was hoisted in the arms of Cardo, "Then you don't care about the other two over there?" She pointed to the other mobile suits, the Lfrith Gundam Pre-Production Models.

"The Lfrith and the Strike are special, Ericht." answered Kira as they looked at the Gundams.

"Special?" 

"In order for you, your daddy, and your mommy to live in space, you need to have an adaptable body and not a weapon like this. Strike, however, is a different case. Kira needs the Strike to protect."

"Protect?"

"Yeah." Kira joined in the conversation, "Back, where I came from, I was a soldier against my own will. Trying my best to protect those dear to me, that also includes you guys."

"Nii-nii..." Ericht couldn't what Kira was talking about. I mean, he's a kid like her, why the fuck did he say that he was a soldier? Are child soldiers a thing? Yes, they are, but Ericht didn't know that. The only person in this room is Cardo, who looked at Kira with sympathy for Kira's experience. Then she decided to change the topic.

"Lfrith is the future of GUND that we're aiming for, Eri." Cardo resumed, "She is a new door that will open up new possibilities for humanity."

"I don't get it."

"Then do you want to try and talk to Lfrith?" Ericht just looked at Cardo, surprised at what she said to her. Then the next thing we see is that Cardo placed Ericht in the Lfrith's cockpit.

"Cardo-san, is this even a good idea?" Kira asked, knowing the side effects of the GUND-Format thanks to him learning it in the past 4 months.

"It's fine, Kira." Cardo reassured the boy and his worries, which is understandable. She then looked back to Eri as the cockpit sit moved a bit as it activated, which surprised Ericht, "Come here Eri. Place your hand here." instructed Cardo to Ericht at the cockpits touchscreen, which Ericht did so as the cockpit monitors lit up.

"Ericht, now Lfrith will recognize you." Kira said as Eri looked at him, "Then tell her that this world isn't scary."

"Would I do the same to Strike-nii?" Ericht asked as Kira just smiled in return to her.

"I think the Strike will hear that along with the Lfrith."

With that said, Ericht looked at the screen, "My name is Ericht Samaya! Do you like cake? It's my birthday today! I'm going to wear my birthday hat!"

Then suddenly, Cardo's phone rang, which Kira and Cardo herself noticed as she answered it, "What's wrong?"

"The council is about to hold a press." informed one of the workers, who are currently watching the soon-to-start press.

"I wasn't told about this."

"Ochs Earth has been left out of this"

"Got it. I'm on my way." Cardo then hung up and looked at the Coordinator, "Kira, can you accompany Eri back?"

Kira, now noticing what the conversation recently has been going on, decided to ask quietly making sure Ericht wouldn't hear what he's gonna ask, "Cardo-san, what's happening?"

Cardo replied back in the same tone as Kira's, "It's the council. They've held a press without us knowing and I have a bad feeling about it. Prepare the Strike if things go south. You know where your Striker Packs and weapons are stored right?"

'Even in this timeline, there's still conflict.' mentally sighed Kira as he nodded to Cardo's instructions and wished her luck, "Yeah, I will, and... good luck Cardo-san." Cardo smiled in return as she nodded to Kira and looked at Ericht. 

"Ericht, I'll be back for a bit, I need to talk to the Strike." Kira said as he went to his Gundam, with Ericht nodding back at him.

"Eri, Kira will accompany you back after he's done talking to Strike, alright? And don't make your mommy worry." Cardo then left as Ericht nodded in return.

"I will!" replied the young girl then she returned to talking to Lfrith, "The cake has strawberries on it. You see, Mommy..."

-Linebreak-

"Deployment of Ulysses is complete." informed the captain of the ship, named Rajan Zahi, to Delling as the said ship called Ulysses began its way to Folkvangr, "We can commence at any time."

"Raid it along with their headquarters according to the plan." Delling ordered while his outfit is being fixed by a lady.

"Don't we need the council's approval?" asked Rajan At least this captain has a brain.

"I'll assume full responsibility." replied Delling as he walked away. Then we pan to the declaration of the Mobile Suit Defense Council, damn that is a fucking mouthful, about the Gundams.

"We, the Mobile Suit Defense Council, have just now made the decision to freeze all development of Gundam-type mobile suits." Sarius Zenelli announced, "In addition, we will forcibly seize Ochs Earth, the company that developed them, under the authority provided by business administrative laws."

-Linebreak-

"No way..." 

"Are they planning to cut us off?"

Came the concerned and disbelief voices of the workers as they watched the announcement. Then Cardo came in.

"Any ships scheduled to enter port?"

"There's one transport ship."

"Stop it. Don't let it enter the port!"

Well its too late Cardo, because a transport ship containing your company's demise has entered. Then came a gunshot when one of the workers of Vanadis are trying to inspect it.

"And to maintain order and ethics in the development of mobile suits, we will establish an auditing organization named Cathedra."  The now deceased body of the workers of Vanadis was then moved aside by a member of Cathedra. The Assault Commander Unit of the organization did a hand movement to his squad as they floated out of their ship.

Back at the MSDC Front, Sarius introduced Delling Rembran, who then entered the stage, to the audience, "Allow me to introduce the supervising representative of Cathedra, Delling Rembran."

Then we switched to Nadim as he and Yamoaka talked about what is happening today.

"They never planned to accept us! They aren't dealing with us financially, but by using violence-" then he was cut off because the Cathedra jammed their satellite communications, revealing to Nadim's screen the "No Signal" sign.

"Yamoaka..." gasped Nadim at the suddenness as he slammed his fist on the keyboard, "Damn it! Spaceians are so narrow-minded..." Then he went out of his room trying to inform his wife and adopted son but he saw no one, including his own daughter, "Elnora? Eri? Kira? Huh?" then his phone vibrated to reveal Kira's name. He answered, "Kira, where are you?"

"Nadim-san, quick you need to prepare yourself and warn the others before its too late!" came the desperate voice of the Coordinator as we switched to him putting on his wearable prosthetics inside the Strike, still in his civilian clothing, "The Council's planning an attack on Folkvangr and they're gonna try to kill every single one of us!"

"But what about Eri?"

"She's fine, she's with the Lfrith!"

We switched to Ulysses, where its thrusters began to activate as it went to Folkvangr.

"Headquarters to all Dominicus units. You are to seal off Folkvangr and its surrounding space at once." informed the captain of Ulysses as mobile suits of the said ship came out off and began to fly their way to Folkvangr, "Don't let a single shuttle get away."

Then we switched back to Vanadis as we see Nyle and Wendy floated to their destination, oblivious to what's about to happen next. Nyle then turned right but stopped when she noticed smoke bombs were thrown at the doorways. 

"Nyla?" asked Wendy, wondering why her friend suddenly stopped as she approached her but...

"Run, Wendy. Hurry up!" Nyla then pushed Wendy away from her as she was headshot by a member of the Cathedra.

"Nyla!" cried out Wendy as the alarms activated. In another side of Folkvangr, Elnora noticed it.

"The alarm?"

"Elnora!" Elnora looked back to Nadim, who approached her, "The council has crossed the line, and we need to get ready."

"But I can't find Eri."

"Eri's fine, she's with the Lfrith according to Kira."

"What?! But-"

"Kira was assured by Dr. Cardo that she'll be fine. Now come on, let's go. I'll use the Lfrith."

"But its too dangerous!" cried Elnora as she put her arm on Nadim's, who in return gripped hers.

"It'll be too late by the time they arrive!" countered Nadim, "Believe in the GUND-ARM you made."

Then we went to the hangar as Nadim is getting ready inside their Lfrith Pre-Production model.

"You're going yourself, manager?" asked his concerned coworker through the comms.

"I can't make contact with Wendy." replied Nadim as he pressed a few buttons and his Gundam is going down thanks to the elevator, "Establish an escape route while I'm holding them back!"

"What about reinforcements from headquarters?"

Nadim replied as he closed his helmet's visor, "We shouldn't get our hopes up." then the catapult lights lit up and the pilot of the LF-01 is now ready to launch, "LF-01, launching!" Then the sudden drop of the catapult happened as the LF-01 reached space and flew to its enemies.

"GUND Format permet score, two!" the Gundam's dull grey parts lit up as the enemy Heingra spotted LF-01.

"Checking information. Matched with target mobile suit." informed the pilot to his comrades as they flew to LF-01, preparing to fire their weapons.

"Roger that. Initiating action." Then they fired their beam rifles to Nadim, who dodged all beams fired from the Heingras, "So fast! So that's a Gundam?" commented one of the pilots, amazed by the speed of the LF-01 as Nadim then fought back by firing his own beam rifle. Then the next thing Nadim did is activating the LF-01's GUND Bits as the bits then went after a Heingra.

"Permet score, three!" said Nadim as the LF-01 glowed as its GUND Bit latched onto the Heingra, killing the pilot and the mobile suit. Then the side effects happened, "Agh! It's been a while since I felt like this.." Nadim gasped as his face now has the side effects of the GUND-Format.

"The opponents are using unfamiliar swarm weapons. Do not engage one-on-one. With numbers-" then one of the Heingras got destroyed from a beam shot from Wendy's Lfrith Pre Production model, which Nadim looked back at as he flew to Wendy.

"Is that you, Wendy?" asked Nadim to Wendy, who just recovered from crying from Nyla's death.

"I have to avenge Nyla." Wendy replied as Nadim just paused for a second, in disbelief that Nyla's dead.

"I see. I'm going to lure the enemy away." Nadim said as he and Wendy charged at their enemies.

"Second Gundam-type mobile suit detected to port side in travel direction." informed a member of Ulysses to his captain.

"That matches our information. Remain on guard." Rajan then pressed a button on his seat, accessing him to the comms as he communicated to the pilot, Kenanji Avery, "Kenanji, deploy Beguir-Beu."

Then said mobile suit was now at the catapult, it's pilot inside ready to launch, "Roger that." Kenanji affirmed as the Beguir-Beu launched.

We then went back to MSDC Front, Delling's continuing his speech.

"Throughout my years of experience on countless battlefields, I've come to one conclusion." said Delling to the audience, "Weapons should only exist to kill people. There should be no excuses for this." Then came various scenes happening at Vanadis,  the corpses of the workers in various areas, Cathedra fighting the Vanadis workers, who are protecting Cardo, the Strike equipping the Aile Striker Pack with Kira desperately rewriting its OS as quickly as he can, and came the lockdown of Vanadis' doors, "They have to bear the sin that comes with it. But the mobile suits of Vanadis and Ochs Earth are different! Not only do they take the lives of their opponents, but of their operators as well." Then we see scenes where Nadim and Wendy are still fighting the enemy mobile suits, and Elnora switching to her pilot suit, "This is not a tool. It is a curse!"

Back at Kira, we see him finishing rewriting his OS, "Alright I'm ready to launch!" Kira called out to the operators, who then acknowledged him.

"Acknowledged, Kira. Good luck."

"I will, and if things go south, release the Striker Pack trailer. I don't want them to get their hands on it." The Strike then went down to the catapult drop-off, yeah that's what I'm going to call 'em, and ready to launch, "Alright... Kira Yamato! Heading out with the Strike Gundam!" and with that the Strike's launched, it's pilot and the Gundam itself ready to take on the battlefield once again after 4 months of repairs and recovering!

We switched back to the fight as Wendy deactivates her Lfrith's launchers due to the side effects of the GUND Format taking effect, causing her to gasp in pain, "Wendy! It's too dangerous to raise the score further!" Nadim warned Wendy as the alarms of his suit blared and the Beguir-Beu then went towards them.

"The punishment of taking a life should be imposed upon us by humans, and not machines." echoed the voice of Delling as Wendy locked her sensors to the Beguir-Beu.

"Nyla... I'll avenge your death!" Wendy then fired several shots to the Beguir-Beu, which Kenanji flawlessly dodged it.

"People must kill or be killed by people. I believe that's the minimum courtesy in the foolish act of war." Wendy released her GUND Bits as they went to the Beguir-Beu, but Kenanji activated its Non-Kinetic Pods to disable the GUND-BITs Wendy had launched.

"Get back, Wendy! That's no ordinary custom type!" The Beguir-Beu approached Wendy's Lfrith as its Foot Claws on its Foot Unit activated as it grabbed Wendy's Beam Rifle. Because of this, Beguir-Beu suppressed Wendy's connection to the GUND Format as Wendy couldn't move her Gundam.

"I can't move. Why?" Wendy asked, desperately trying to move her Gundam's controls.

"GUND Format link suppressed. This is the end of the Gundams." Kenanji then activated Beguir-Beu's blades as he's now ready to stab the Lfrith's cockpit. 

"Nyla..." Wendy's last words as she is now helpless in this situation... wait actually scratch that, it's her SUPPOSED last words. Why? Well, that's because several beams hit the Beguir-Beu's blade, breaking it apart.

"What?!" gawked the pilot at what's happening as he immediately moved away and tried to dodged the beams, but both the Beguir-Beu's arms were destroyed in the process, "What is that?!" Kenanji gawked as he looked at the approaching Aile Strike Gundam while he's retreating back at Ulysses to immediately repair his mobile suit, "Is that a... Gundam?! Captain, are you seeing this?!" Back at Ulysses, the captain and its crew are in disbelief of an unknown Gundam thats currently lacking in their information.

"What is that...? We weren't made aware of a third unit." muttered the captain of the ship.

"Captain! We couldn't detect a permet identification code from that machine!" informed one of his crew to the captain, this shocked Rajan about this info.

"What did you say?!" gawked Rajan to his crewmate.

"Wendy, Nadim-san, are you guys alright?" came the voice of their savior, Kira Samaya Yamato, with the Aile Strike Gundam flying towards them.

"Kira...?" Wendy asked as her GUND Format link returned.

Nadim was glad that his adopted son saved Wendy, but since he's a parent, he had to ask the boy what he's doing here, "Kira? What are you doing here?!"

"I did what I had to do, you guys are my family after all. And I'm not gonna let you guys die on my watch!" declared Kira as the Strike then aimed its beam rifle at the remaining Heingras, ready to kill them to defend his new home and family, even if it pains him to kill others but he has to!

"When we pull the trigger ourselves, we bear the burden of the life we're taking." the voice of Delling Rembran continued his speech as we switched back to the MSDC Front. One of Sarius' messengers informed him about what's happening at Vanadis, which shocked him since Sarius himself didn't know about it. Sarius then looked at Delling as he asks himself what he's done, "In war, or any form of murder... That's how it has to be."

Then we went to Cardo's location, where her coworkers who were trying to protect her are now floating corpses. Cardo then grabbed a pistol from her desk drawer when the Assault Unit Commander entered to execute her.

"Dr. Cardo Nabo. You are going to die here." proclaimed the Commander as he and his squad are surrounded by images of what they had done for the GUND Format.

"Humanity was born in the cradle of Earth." said Cardo, "Our bodies are far too fragile for us to venture into space. Just as an infant has to put on clothes, humanity must don the GUND to truly go out into space."

Unfazed by her words, the Assault Commander replied, "That's just an excuse for a technology that requires sacrificial victims."

"You don't understand." Cardo said as she aimed her pistol at him, "What all of you were taking away was the future that the GUND will save!"

Then back at the fight, Kira's killing the Heingras alongside Wendy and Nadim. Even though his Gundam isn't using its Phase Shift Armor, he has to be careful because he's using his beam rifle, which also uses its power from the battery of the Strike's phase shift. Then the Strike's alarm blared as he instinctively made the Strike turn itself to block the upcoming attack with its shield, which is the Beguire-Beu's blades.

"You again?!" Kira exclaimed as he forced the Strike to push the blade away from him and fired the bladed mobile suit with its beam rifle, which Kenanji in return dodged the attacks. Kenanji tried to attack the Strike, only for him to dodge more as Wendy and Nadim's Lfriths fired a barrage of beams at him, which Kenanji returned fire at with other Heingras aiding him and fired at the three Gundams as said beams hit the Folkvangr when the Strike and co. dodged or blocked the beams. With no other choice, Kira put the beam rifle on the Strike's right side skirt as he rushed to the remaining Heingras. Once he was near, a purple seed dropped mentally in his mind as the Strike swiftly pulled out its beam saber slashing all three Heingras with insane speed. Then another round of Heingras went to the Strike to which Kira punched the pedal of his mobile suit dodging every beam that the Heingras are giving to the Gundam pilot. When he's near, the Heingras met the same fate as their other comrades.  Kenanji then made an attempt to slash at the Strike, but due to Kira being in SEED Mode, the Strike attempted a swift slash at the chest of the Beguire-Beu, but it missed a few inches to kill Kenanji himself, then followed by a kick to the chest. The people witnessing the Strike's actions are either in awe or in fear at the display.

"Wow... who woulda thought that Kira's that skilled." Wendy commented as Nadim nodded at Wendy's comment.

"Yeah, but... his eyes." Nadim pointed out at the camera feed on their Gundams, to which revealed Kira's shrunken pupils and grown irises.

At Ulysses, of course, they're in disbelief that a single mobile suit has THAT much speed and skill to kill 2 squads of Heingras and to easily defeat Kenanji Avery, they're fucking ace.

"Impossible... Vanadis made a Gundam THAT terrifyingly good?" muttered Rajan at the performance of the Strike and its pilot.

"This bastard's suddenly become good. The reflexes, reaction, aim, and speed are terrifying." commented Kenanji to the Strike's performance.

At the hangars of Vanadis, it's currently in flames, and the workers decided to release the Striker Pack Storage Trailer, "Release the Striker Pack storage!" One of the workers, I'm calling him Matthew cuz why not, said to the other manning the storage of the Strike's Striker packs, who then complied as the trailer is released. With the job done, the operator Kira talked to then informed him about the trailer.

"Kira, the storage trailer is released."

"Thanks for that, Matthew-san. Now please evacuate!" Kira said as he then switched channels so he can inform Nadim and Wendy about the Striker Packs, "Nadim-san, Wendy, the Striker Packs!"

"We're currently protecting it, Kira!" Wendy replied as it is indeed both Lfriths are protecting the storage trailer from the Heingras.

Now in the hangars of Vanadis, the workers are trying to evacuate. Then we switched to the Lfrith, inside Ericht is crying as she's gripping her little arms on the cockpit. Until the cockpit doors opened to reveal Elnora in her pilot suit.

"Eri!" Elnora called out as she floated to her daughter, who's crying out her name, "Mommy! Mommy!" as she reached for her daughter, she hugged her and she tries to calm her down.

"It's okay now. It'll be alright." with the Lfrith's cockpit closed and Ericht calmed down, Elnora activated the Lfrith's cockpit as she heard the voice of the Assault Commander announcing Cardo's death and all other key members of Vanadis.

"Headquarters to all units. We've successfully neutralized the lives of Cardo Nabo and all key members. Retreat as soon as preparations to blow up the front are complete." announced the Assault Commander as Elnora's eyes widen that her mentor has died.

"Dr. Cardo..." muttered Elnora, now in tears, "Why did you have to die..."

"Mommy." Ericht called out as Elnora looked at the Lfrith's monitor. Why? Because the Lfrtih has a successful callback to Layer 33, "A callback to layer 33? With whose authentication vitals...?" then she gasped at whose name it was shown on the monitor. It was Ericht Samaya's.

"Mommy... Did she wake up?" innocently asked Ericht to her mother, as her Elnora herself is too shocked to answer.

Then back at Ulysses, one of the workers informed about another unregistered permet identification code, "Strong electromagnetic waves detected from within Folkvangr. It's an unregistered Permet identification code."

"They have another one?!" gawked Rajan at another Gundam in Vanadis as the Lfrith burst out from Folkvangr.

The Heingras went to Elnora's Lfrith, as Elnora deployed the Bit Staves, which combined into the Compo GUND-BIT Shield as the beams are nothing when it hits the said shield.

"One, two, three!" Eri touched three targets on the monitor whilst her normal suit was connected to the port for her mother's prosthetic arm. The shield separated into Bit Staves again, destroying two of the Heingras that Eri had locked onto. A surviving Heingra briefly wielded a beam saber but a Bit Stave quickly docked into the Lfrith's Receiver Gun, forming the GUND-BIT Rifle, destroying the Heingra in a single shot. Not far away from them, Kira watched the Lfrith's actions, in awe at the technology and presentation.

"Wow..." muttered the Coordinator as he quickly raised the Strike's shield to block a slash from the Beguir-Beu. Kenanji then noticed the Lfrith as he went towards it, which Kira noticed as he tried to get after him, "Oh no you don't!" but it failed as several beam bullets from the Heingras went to the Strike, which Kira quickly blocked with his shield as he cursed, "Damn it!" then he threw his beam saber to one of the Heingras, which was aimed to the cockpit and it exploded upon it was penetrated. Then he pulled out his beam rifle from the side skirts and fired several beams at the Heingras, who are either destroyed or blocking the beams with their shield. 

"I need more firepower." Kira gritted his teeth, annoyed that the Heingras are this stubborn, "Wendy! Nadim-san! I need the Launcher Striker's Agni!" Kira then went to the Storage Trailer as the Aile Pack and shield were detached from the Strike when the Gundam itself showed its back. The Aile and shield were then grabbed by Nadim as Wendy opened the Storage Trailer so Nadim can put both packs inside. With the trailer opened, Wendy fished out the Agni with the battery pack and then slammed it, metaphorically, to the Strike's back.

"Launcher Striker equipped, now give them hell Kira!" With Wendy giving the go sign, the Agni's now in the Strike's hand as it began to charge. The opposing side noticed the Strike's change of weaponry, wondering what he's gonna do. Until Rajan noticed what the Strike's doing and he's too late to do something to his men.

"Everyone, get away from that Gundam's line of sight!" Rajan cried out, but he's too late as the Strike released a huge plasma energy to the Heingras in Kira's line of sight, destroying them. Kira aimed the Agni to another round of as Kira a few rounds to them. Rajan and the others are at disbelief at the Strike's firepower thus earning him the monicker...

"That's not a witch anymore... That's a devil. A White Devil." Rajan muttered as he continued to watch the horrors and hearing the pained screamed deaths of his soldiers.

With that done and the Strike's battery nearly low, Kira detached the pack as he went to Elnora, followed by Nadim and Wendy, who recovered the Launcher pack and put it back the storage trailer and  were pushing the storage trailer with Nadim covering her six.

Then back at Elnora, she's just watching in horror about what's happening but she was called out by her daughter, which put her out of her trance. 

"Mommy! Mommy!" called out Ericht as she pointed at the monitor and her face is now covered in the GUND Format's side effects. But instead of the painful red, its the calming blue, "They look just like candles! Isn't it pretty?"

"You're right..." Elnora said as the Compo GUND-BIT Shield formed again to block incoming beams from the Beguir-Beu. The Receiver Gun became the Beam Blade as the Beguir-Beu faced the Lfrith head-on with its bayonet's Sword Units.

"Not bad. However..." Kenanji Avery complimented the Gundam and deployed his Non-Kinetic Pods to disable it, which it did, as he slashed of the arm of Lfrith, "This is all a Gundam can-" he was cut off when two of his pods was destroyed when Nadim and Kira entered firing Beam Vulcans and beam shots from their weapons. Then Nadim rammed his Gundam into the Beguir-Beu.

"Is that you, Elnora?" Nadim asked Elnora as Kira and Wendy fired their beam rifles at the oncoming Heingras until Kira stopped firing when one of his monitors alarmed him about his battery now out of power which he cursed.

"Nadim!/Daddy!" came the cries of his wife and daughter then they noticed the Strike and the other Lfrith, "Wendy! Kira!/Strike-nii? Nii-Nii! Wendy!"

"I'm glad that you two are alright but we need to retreat!" Wendy suggested but it was interjected by Kira.

"But what about Nadim-san?" Kira asked, but Nadim answered his question.

"Just leave me!" Nadim said as he continued to push the Beguir-Beu away.

"Damn you... Let go of me Gundam!" Kenanji then tried to attack Nadim's Lfrith, but its no use.

"Elnora, you and the others need to get out of here..." Nadim said as his body can't take on the side effects.

"Don't be ridiculous! I'm coming-" 

"You're not the only one escaping here! You still have Wendy, Kira, and Eri. Live... all of you. For everyone's sake!" Nadim said as Elnora reluctantly complied with his request.

"I love you, Nadim." Elnora declared her love for Nadim and complied with his request to flee as the Ulysses fired beams at them. With Elnora and Eri escaping, Wendy called out to Kira, who's still here.

"Goodbye... Tou-san." Kira muttered as his eyes returned back to normal, which Nadim smiled at, as he and Wendy followed suit at Elnora.

Nadim reciprocated at Kira and Elnora's words as he leveled up to Permet score four. Rapidly breathing, he whited out and reminisced about the birthday party earlier. 

Still holding the Beguir-Beu he began to sing Happy Birthday to Ericht.

"Happy Birthday to you." began Nadim as his song was heard by everyone. Including the enemies.

"Daddy! It's daddy!" Ericht cheered as Elnora's trying to hold her tears. Wendy did the same but Kira... he cried.

Back at Ulysses, Rajan ordered communications to be cut off when he heard Nadim singing Happy Birthday to Ericht.

"Cut off the communications."

"I can't" informed the crewmate, "the sources appears to be from the Gundam."

"What's going on?" wondered Rajan as the song stopped when Nadim said "dear Ericht". Back at the fight, the Lfrith is now motionless, indicating that Nadim Samaya has indeed died. The Beguir-Beu pushed away the motionless Lfrith Pre-Production Model and retreated, but not before looking another glance to the fleeing Strike Gundam.

"That Gundam and its pilot... If I meet them again, I wouldn't mind fighting them again." chuckled Kenanji as he smiled since its been a while since he was having a hard time fighting an opponent that skilled, "It's been a while since I had so much fun. I'll see you another time... Vanadis' White Devil."

Then we switched back to the fleeing Gundams as Ericht finished her happy birthday song while Folkvangr behind them explode.

Finally, Delling Rembran finished his speech, "And our Cathedra... shall deny all Gundams." 

To Be Continued...

-Linebreak-

RF2: Finished! So what do you guys think? More importantly the fight scenes and Kira? In my opinion... the fight scenes could've been better and this is what you guys will get for me today since I used up all my brain juice for the fight scenes. As for Kira? Well, he might've been a bit OOC, that's because he is, and I'm trying to find a way for him to lose that pacifist shit and go for the kills. But of course, he has to have a code. A code where he has to kill when necessary, which is what he uses in the show before he got the pacifist Freedom Gundam, and my preferred one, kill those who deserve it. 

That's it from me today, hope you guys have a good day! This is RF2 signing off! See you!
