( It has been a couple of weeks since the battle at Orb. Since then, things have grown quiet aboard the Melania. Bulkhead and Miko barely come out of their rooms. Sierra had gone off to clear her head. Then returned later that same night. Felish remained on the ship and tried to coordinate their next move with the deputy captain. Christen was in her room speaking to her children via transmission. That was until Micheal blatantly disconnected his side of the transmission)

" What the, why did  Micheal do that? (Suddenly gets an emergency transmission). Hu, what now?" Asked Alesha as she and Christeen both pulled up a live video on their separate screens. " The Earth Federation-did what?  So that's why he ended the transmission so quickly. Micheal, how could you be a part of this?" Asked  Christen. " No doubt the Angel is seeing this too. ( Looks at  Christen). Times running out mom, you'll need to make your decision soon." Said  Alesha as she ended the transmission. " ( Quickly runs to the bridge).  Have Sierra launch immediately,  we have to take that thing down." Said Christen. " ( Quickly runs to her gundam and hops in). Sierra Aska, Ikana Gundam, launching." Said Sierra as the Ikana launched from the launch bay.

( Over in the destroyed city, the Redeemer and the Nova were trying to take down a gundam. That they had thought was discontinued, the destroyer gundam. While also taking down any normal-sized mobile suit that wherewith it)

( Destroyer gundam)

" Why in the world would they bring this thing back? ( Quickly makes the Redeemer dodge the detachable arms while also firing back at it with its beam rifle). What in the world is the Earth Federation thinking? " Said Kira. " I don't know, but we gotta find some way to take it down. (  Destroys three of the enemy mobile suits). Or else there will be more than just five cities that will be destroyed if we don't. ( Blocks a beam using the Nova's shield).  DARN IT!" Said  Arcee as the  Nova fired at the lead mobile suit. "(Receives a transmission from Alesha). Not the best time, kinda busy here." Said Jena. " I know, that's why im making this call.  Trena and  Karina don't know this but, the orb military,  the ones that want to become a part of the war in order to end it. They've sent in a Defender gundam." Said  Alesha. " They did what, but that'll cause more harm than good. How long till it arrives?" Said Jena. " Ten minutes tops.  The only thing I could do was have them see the  Redeemer and the Nova as allies. But something about this  Destroyer seems off." Said Alesha. " How so, is there something familiar about it?" Asked Jena.

 "I don't know what Micheal has down but something about the way this one is fighting seems familiar. Have the Redeemer scan the destroyer and send it this code. ( Transmits the code). Use it to see what the destroy her will do. I have a bad feeling about this." Said Alesha. " Understood, I'm sending it to the Nova and the Redeemer now." Said Jena as she and  Alesha watched the battle from their separate screens. " Mam, im picking up the  Ikana Gundam on our scanners." Said the intel officer. " Which means that Christen is here. I hope she knows what she's doing." Said Jena.

" ( Flies toward the battle and spots the Redeemer and the Nova in battle with the Destroyer and the other enemy mobile suits). There you are, Kira, Arcee. ( picks up something on her radar and then quickly moves the Ikana out of the way.  as a giant gundam the size of the destroyer lands across from her). Is that a defender, what in the world is Orb thinking? I just have to deal with it later." Said Sierra as the Ikana attacked the normal-sized Federation mobile suits.  " (Receivies the code that was sent to her by Jena and then looks up at two of her screens to see  Jena and Alesha). You're sure about this?" Asked Kira. " Yes, trust me on this.  The way it's been trying to fight you.  It isn't like a normal Destroyer from the previous war." Said Alesha. " On that, she has a point. It only uses its lasers when you're far away. It hasn't even fired at  Arcee yet.  But when you're close up, tries to swing at you." Said Jena." I was wondering about that. Ok, I'll give it a shot." Said Kira.

( Defender Gundam)

" Thanks, Kira, and if I'm right which I pray I'm not. Shoot the ground that's far away from the city two times. You may have to do it twice for it to understand." Said Alesha. " Now I feel like I'm not gonna like this, but ok. ( Sends the code over to the destroyer gundam, while the Defender gundam walked over towards them. Only to watch as the Destroyer held up its hands and then spread out its feet as if it were going to a boxing match). Wait, what the heck is it? (  Watches the  Destroyer hop on its feet two times ). Now I'm curious. ( Shoots the ground that's far behind the Destroyer Gundam two times. Before watching it Jump all the way back and out of the city). What the, did it just listen." Said  Kira as she quickly flew after the Destroyer, not noticing the Defender chase after her and the Destroyer. " ( Watches what's going on with the Destroyer and then Redeemer).  Ok, something is definitely wrong here. ( Looks at the Ikana as it destroyed two more of the enemy mobile suits). I'm sure she's got this handled,  I'd better go help Kira." Said  Arcee as the Nova, quickly flew off after the Redeemer.

" ( Watches on in shock after seeing what the Redeemer was doing. only to then realize who was piloting the destroyer Gundam). Micheal, how could you?" Asked  Chrsten as  Alesha appears on the main monitor. " I take it you're seeing this too? To think Micheal would put him in that seat. " Said Aleasha. " What has he done? He's endangered his only son, my grandson.  Does the  Redeemer know about this?" Said Christen. " Jena's telling them right now. Hopefully, we can get him out of there. But you need to warn your pilot. " Said Alesha. " Ok, we'll let her know right now." Said Christen. " Are you serious, a kid is in there. What the heck is going on here? Arcee,  try and get the Defender to stop. I'll see if I can cut the kid loose. ( Grunts in irritation). What's the point of this war if you're using children too young to understand." Said Kira as the  Redeemer flew at the Destroyer Gundam. " Right You got it. ( suddenly catches something in the corner of her eye and spots the Ikana fly right past her). Kira heads up, the Ikana's heading your way." Said Arcee as the Nova flew at the Defender to try and slow it down.

" RAAAHHH, YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR CAUSING SO MUCH DESTRUCTION! (  Flies up and slashs the Destroyer across the cheast using the Ikana's beam saber. which cuts a hole in the cockpit). THEY DARE USE A MONSTER AT THIS CALIBUR, AND THE ORB FORCES WOULD RESPOND BY USING A MONSTER OF THEIR OWN! ( Aims the Ikana's beam rifle at the Destroyer). YOUR BOTH JUST A BUNCH OF MONSTERS!" Yelled Sierra as the Ikana charged at the Destroyer with its beam saber in hand. Only to then get shoulder slammed into by the Redeemer. " SIERRA, STOP RIGHT NOW!" Yelled Kira. " What in the world do you want? " Asked Sierra. " There's a kid piloting that thing and he's Christen's grandson." Said Kira. " SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING THAT I SHOULD STOP ALL BECAUSE A CHILD IS JUST TRYING TO PLAY MONSTER! BECAUSE HE THINKS THIS IS A GAME!" Said Sierra as the Ikana and the Redeemer clashed beam sabers.

"  YES YOUR MORAN, THATS EXACTLY WHY! JUST LET ME GET THE KID OUT OF THERE AND THEN YOU CAN TRASH IT!" Said Kira. "  NO WAY, HE'S CAUSED TO MUCH TROUBLE ALREADY AND DESTROYED TO MANY CITIES! IT'S GOING DOWN!"  Yelled  Sierra as the  Ikan breaks away from the  Redeemer and flies at the Destroyer. " DARN IT! ARCEE, I'LL HANDLE SIERRA! GET THAT KID OUT OF THE DESTROYER! I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO HER, BUT THIS ISN'T RIGHT!" Said  Kira as the Redeemer chased after the Ikana. " You got it Kira, I'm on it. ( Quickly flies towards the Destroyer while the Redeemer battles the Ikana. Before making the Nova raise it's hands in order to tell the destroyer to stop). Kid, hold a minute, I'm not here to fight you. Your grandmother is worried about you. She wants to see you." Said Arcee. "Grandma's, here, and she wants to see me?" Asked the young boy. "Yeah, that's right. I can take you to her. Just slowly get out of your cockpit and come to me. Don't worry about the mean orange and white creature,  my blue and white teammate will handle her. ( Watches the boy unbuckle his seat and then climb out of the hole made by the Ikana). There you go, that's it, just a little closer. ( Opens her cockpit and then pulls the boy inside once he's fully out of the Destroyer gundam). Now hold on tight, we're getting out of here." Said  Arcee as she closed the Nova's cockpit and then made it quickly fly off.

( End Song here)

" ( Gets a notification from Arcee that she has the boy). Nice job Arcee, now take him to the  Melania. ( Signals for the  Defender gundam to destroy the Destroyer gundam). My job here's done, but you need to get it together Sierra. " Said Kira as the Redeemer quickly flew away. " ( Grunts in rage at being ignored). Soon, Kira. I will defeat you." Said Sierras the  Ikana flew back to the Melania, while spotting the Nova leave the ship and head back to the Angel.

( Three days later aboard the Melania)

" What do you mean we're given orders to take down the Angel? It helped us take down the destroyer and saved your grandson." Said Miko. "I'm as surprised as you are, but those are our orders. Operation Fallen Angel is now in motion and there's nothing that we can do about it. Sierra has already prepared for launch and I can't do anything without the rest of Zaft watching this battle." Said Chrsiten as Bulkhead slammed his fist into the wall to his left. " ( Walks into the room scared, after what he just heard). Grandma, does that mean that you have to make Auntie Jena go bye-bye?" Asked the little boy, which shocks Christen and Miko. " ( Looks down and away from her grandson). I'm sorry  Chris, but yes." Said Christen as she walked to the bridge.

( Twelve hours later, the  Melania has caught up to the Angel. Meanwhile, high above the planet. Another ship has descended from the upper atmosphere)

" ( Looks at the monitor in front of her. As she watches the Angel try to escape the Melania. While the Redeemer and the Nova battle the  Ikana and a new mobile suit). Kira, Arcee, just hang on a little while longer. We're on our way." Said Elita. " Dear Primus, Why aren't they firing to damage the Melania?" Asked Ratchet. " Because there has been enough destruction, for now at least." Said  Optimus.

( Down on the planet's surface)  

( AI Gundam: Frost)

" SIERRA STOP, THERE'S BEEN ENOGUH DESTRUCTION AS IT IS!" Said Kira as the Redeemer blocked the Ikana's beam saber, while trying to swing its own beam saber at the Ikana. Only for its beam saber to be blocked by the Ikana's shield. This puts the two gundams in a saber/shield lock. " OH YOU'D LOVE THAT WOULDN'T YOU KIRA! WELL, THATS NOT HAPPENING TODAY! IM TAKING YOU DOWN! WHILE MY AI PARTNER TAKES DOWN ARCEE! THE BEST PART, IS THAT I'VE DOWNLOADED IT WITH ALL THE DATA WE HAVE ON THE NOVA! SO THERE'S NO WAY EITHER OF YOU ARE MAKING IT OUT OF HERE ALIVE" Said Sierra with a grin. " ARE YOU SERIOUS, HOW IN THE WORLD DID THEY GET THAT? ( Grunts from the Nova's shield taking a hard hit).  DARN IT!" Yelled Arcee as the  Nov'a shield was knocked from its hands as it fell out of the sky.

"  NOW ITS YOUR TURN, KIRA! ( Makes the Ikana grab the boomerang blades on its back). TAKE THIS! ( Throws the boomerang blades at the Redeemer which destroys its beam rifle and one of its wings). YOUR THROUGH, KIRA!" Yelled Sierra as the Ikana stabs the  Redeemer in the cheast and then watches as the Redeemer falls to the bottom of the ocean. But at the same time, the frost Gundam had defeated the  Nova, by destroying its arms and then stabbing it with a beam saber. Before watching as the nova fell to the bottom of the ocean. As for the Melania and the  Angel. While the angel did make it underwater. It was still severely damaged. " ( Looks over at  Crista).  Get out there go grab  Kira and Arcee. The rest of you, disenage the damaged engine and blow it up. If we want to make it out of this, we'll have to make it look like they took us out." Said Jena as Crista quickly left the bridge. Before receiving a transmission.

 " This is Optimus Prime of the Solarous.   We will provide a cover for you to escape. Once you're clear, we will rendezvous with you." Said Optimus. " You got it, we'll see you soon." Said Jena as she ordered the Angel to continue its course forward after ending the transmission. " (Receives a transmission and then sees that it's from Optimus as his face appears on screen). Optimus Prime, to what do we owe this call?" Asked Christen. " We of the Cybertronian forces have made our decision. We can not allow you to wage war as you are. Nor can we abide by your force's decision to attack on the Angel. One who stands alongside our views of peace. " Said Optimus as Ultra Magnus stood next to him. " Therefore, we have decided to ally with Orb. as an enemy of Cybertron." Said Ultra Magnus. " Say what, they don't want to side with us. But they'll with Orb of all people. ( Suddenly picks up something on her radar and turns to see what it is, only for the Ikana to be kicked and nearly knocked out of the sky). What the heck was that?" Said Sierra. 

" That, was for what you did you attacking them in a blind rage." Said Elita as her gundam fired at the Ikana. Which destroys the Ikana's beam rifle, laser swords, and its wings. Before destroying The Frost Gundam next. " Wait a second I know that  Voice. ( Tries to remember where he heard that voice and then quickly looks at  Christen once he remembers). Christen,  order Sierra to return now." Said Bulkhead. " What are you talking about,  do you know them Bulkhead? " Asked Christen. " That pilot is the older sister to Arcee. Along with being the godmother to Kira. She's just as good as them. But the only difference, is that she will destroy any who encounter her. Add in what Sierra just did to  Kira and Arcee.  And you've got someone who won't hold back. She will kill  Sierra, her destroying the Ikana's weapons and wings is her way of a warning shot." Said Bulkhead. " ( Gasps in shock and then quickly looks at the screen).  We understand and we are withdrawing now. I would request that you recall your mobile suit." Said Christeen until she felt the Melania get hit hard on its left side. 

" Unfortunately, We will not withdraw the mobile suit. They will stay where they are. You must recall yours instead. Do not worry, ours will not follow you." Said Ultra Magnus. " ( Looks at  Bulkhead who nods his head). Recall Sierra back to the ship, we're leaving." Said Christen as the order was given. " What we're leaving." Said Sierra. " Would you rather die right then and there? That pilot will not hesitate to kill you Sierra,  and she's a cybertronian like Arcee and  Bulkhead. Which means she has been at this far longer than you. You did after all, use an AI to beat Arcee. If you want to challenge her, you must retreat." Said Felisha. " ( Slams her fist on her control panel). fine, I'll back off. ( Looks up at the gundam with a glare). But next time, you're through. "Said Sierra as the Ikana flew back to the Melania. Say that after you actually beat the pilot of the  Nova without a cheap cheat like an AI gundam. Otherwise, you just prove that you have no skill kid." Said Elita which angered Sierra.

( Twelve hours later at a hidden base in an asteroid)

" So, how are they?" Asked Jena as she walked with Elita and Optimus.  " They'll be ok, they're resting right now. It seems the Key to Vector Sigma put a protective barrier around them the minute they hit the water. " Said  Optimus as they walked into a hangar bay. "That's good to hear. They've been through so much and have been a great help to us." Said  Jena as she turned to look at something to her left. Only to gasp at what she sees. " These are a gift from Raphile and Bumblebee. " Said Jazz as he walked over to them with a smile.

" We even, have a gift for you and your crew, to go along with the gundams. Said  Ironhide as he crossed his arms. While a familiar friend of Jena's walks over to her.  " Hey there Jena, long time no see." Said the old friend. " It's good to see you as well Katherine. But what's this other gift that you guys have for me and my crew." Said Jena as  Kathrine pointed to the spot across from the two mobile suits as the lights in that area turned on to reveal a ship." Meet, the Avenging Angel, or Angel Avenger. Say it however you like." Said Katherine.
