    Sendo was dreaming...He was in a boxing match against a superior opponent as he fought he grew more tired and weaker but he never broke stride. His opponent was about to go down as the crowd around Sendo exploded with a right fist and nearly dislocated his opponents jaw. His only thought was of winning the match and becoming the champion. His friends cheered from the background and the lights above him shone down on him illuminating him. The bell rang....however instead of the voice of his coach a creepy...but oddly familar voice called out to him...Return and then it faded to black as darkness encrouched on him......

    Sendo awoke screaming and breathing hard he looked out side and rubbed his eyes. What the hell was that about!? Nothing like that had happened to him before and last time he checked he was not prone to bad dreams. Figured that he should not have eaten all those sweets before bed...He got up and stretched then scratched his behind as he walked to get dressed. Spring Break and so many kids were out of the city. His parents had told him that they were off to visit a relative or something Sendo was not listening when they explained it to him. As he got dressed he finally remembered that he had to go somewhere and meet his friends...an hour ago...DANG IT ALL!! Sendo put on his clothes and hurried over to the club house near town square. His friends had occupied an abandoned warehouse near the apartment complex and had made it their own hideout with a lot of clean up of course. Sendo's friends where his entire reason for moving on with life as Struggle tournaments where the reason he lived. He pushed opened the door and ran in. As he ran in he was greeted with a slap to the side of the head a brown haired girl stood behind him clearly ticked that her friend was an hour LATE!

    Well here she was No Hajimara his only female friend, NOT GIRL FRIEND DAMN YOU PERVS, that he has ever had. All the other girls saw him as a brute but he once, with the help of his friend Jonas, saved her from some bullies. She was rather hot by Sendo's standards but she was just that a friend. She had always helped the other three out. She was kind, caring, somewhat of a tom boy, and a pain in the ass at times. But hey she was always there for them through thick and thin. Besides Sendo would have been held back four times if it was not for him.



    "Lazy jerk what are you doing I TOLD YOU TWO NOT THREE TWO!!" she shouted angrily as she glared down growling at Sendo who growled back.

    "Well excuse me you dumb cooty ridden girly girl! I overslept!" Sendo countered some what badly as he looked away indignantly.

    "Can't we all just get along? Come on now stop fighting. Sendo next time don't over sleep. I can't keep taking hits for you with No." said the Green haired boy in the room.

    Toshi Hisima was his friend for about two years now. He did not know to much about the kid but rumors say he was a former champion in chess and in struggle tournaments. However that was unlikely the guy just sat there and tried to mediate things. Toshi was never one for violence but he was often sarcastic and annoying. Sendo socked him in the face three weeks ago after he made fun of No's skirt being too short. Plus he had green hair...that creeped Sendo out along with what he assumed where purple contact lenses. He looked like an experiment gone wrong.



    "Would you both stop crowding the guy what's up Sendo how you doin' bro!?" said a blonde haired boy said pushing past No who was fuming and flipping off Toshi who ignored her with a smile on his face being a sucessful troll apparently.

    Here was Sani Sanchaz his first friend and long time partner in crime. After meeting in grade school Sendo and Sani had done so many things together and now things were picking up. From crime, to small jail times, to struggling championships and even fist fighting these two got into everything together. In return Sendo mockingly made the group name the Rowdy Rough Necks which caused some controversey and almost made Toshi stop being friends with Sendo and Sani. Regardless brothers forever and ever that was their motto.



    Sendo smiled, despite his head hurting from the two slaps from his oh so passionate friend, these guys and girl where his extended family of sorts and he'd give anything to protect them...anything. The three of them quarreled as Sendo joined them in it as was tradition.

    Before going to Earth Glen was contacted by Master O and informed of his real mission. He listened quitely as the Master explained it and then he gave his response....

    "Operation: Meteor...it sounds like an armageton situation Master O don't think I'm not appreciative of all the things you've done for me but I doubt this plan would work it would only cause more war. I reccomend we do not follow it." Glen said as he turned on Shenlong's systems. The dark black gundam had been his friend so many times before and he was glad to be it's pilot. Master O and Glen had an interesting relationship while Glen wanted revenge for his parents he did not like to murder needlessly. His bitter attitude had often gotten between them in arguements but O saw the boy's potential and helped him in training so many times for the past couple of years. Now that he had the chance would he take it and crush Earth, his birthplace, just on the say so of some old poltical leaders who where to indepth with their lives that they couldn't see due to their heads in their asses.

    Master O nodded and looked at the map where Earth was displayed and then he looked at Glen's stalwart face that the older man had come to recognize and symbolize with revenge. Glen's attitude and powess in battle were unmatched in close range and anyone dumb enough to engage him in one on one combat was as good as dead. With the ability to see the weaknesses in a mobile suit it was invincible in battle. To Master O the wars were just a way to get rid of the people who opposed him and finally bring peace to the colonies. However Paul's lighter side had often gotten in the way of this so Master O turned the boy into a killer. This mission however would be different and he knew his young apprentice would have some after thoughts.

    "I understand your doubts it's only natural after all i've known you for god knows how long. Go and defeat them and claim back Earth Glen Aquarius son of the Water Bringer. This I demand of you." Master O said simply after all the kid had been a very dangerous youth when he saw him and as Shenlong took off and headed towards Earth he recieved one more transmission. It read that 'I will not participate in this massacare of trillions of innocent people to wipe out a few thousand evil ones. I will wipe out OZ then I will come back and take out the rest of the federation.." Master O slammed his hand into the desk and cursed himself he should have known.
    _____________________________

    As Paul piloted his gundam Shenlong to a Earth as he looked down at the planet he sighed. So this was going to be his target huh? Well he may as well get started the people down there will get hurt indeed but he was not there to cause global genocide. As he looked down at the screen he memorized the location where he would buy explosives somewhere east of a big city in China. The Xiangzhou District huh? Well then this will be fun...He had researched it this was where the ancient Chinese Warlord Cao Cao was able to annex a ton of soldiers and all of the former warlord Liu Biao's territory...how quaint that it would be the place he started. As he entered the atompshere he was not worried that it would burn it the armor was made so it wouldn't do so plus the armor's material itself negated some of the radar systems which would allow him to go in steathily.

    As he guided it through the stratosphere and into the inner part of Earth he picked up on his system a large city which he assumed Jiang Ling near Chi Bi and the Yellow River. Glen's mind raced through the possible outcomes here he would need to take out a base on the bank of the Chi Bi area which was being used in secret to train OZ operatives outside of their main homeland. Damn Chinese always had something up their damn sleeves. It seemed like destiny that Shenlong of all things would be their doom. As the black painted gundam landed by a cave near a small forest and a waterfall he pinned the beacon so that he'd be able to find his gundam when he got back. "It seems I must leave you for a time don't worry I'll be back." Glen said as he used the wire to jump down out of Shenlong and close it's hatch afterward. He packed a short sword into his military style jacket and a pistol into his boot. They would come in handy if needed and he had a feeling he might need them later.

    ____________________

    Glen had now spent about an two hours walking and was nearly to Jiang Ling when suddenly he heard screams and a pleas for help from nearby he broke out in a run towards the area. Where he heard the screams the damnable civilians must be fighting each other. He would not allow anyone to be hurt while he could do something. Besides his mind set on destroying OZ was currently on hold after hearing what Operation: Meteor was about and that made him angry. As he entered the area he saw a pink haired girl and two men one in a suit the other in a security uniform and the man was bleeding profusely.

    The security man was not from OZ but he seemed to be protecting the people there however the other four men where another story. They were wearing OZ military uniforms and carrying assault rifles. The pink haired girl shouted at the men defiantly as the man told her to shut up and shot a warning spray into the air. He had to think of something quickly he grabbed his short sword from his vest and stayed hidden in the bushs along this beaten path that seemed to block the way. He listened to what they had to say and had to admit the girl had guts.

    "Give us all you got and run leave this is OZ territory and you will not pass without a toll young lady." said one of the soldiers as he reloaded his rifle and the security officer was hurried into the car which had one wheel blown out and nearly hit a tree.



    "No I refuse to do so! Leave now please and we won't report you to the authories over in Jiang Ling." the pink haired girl said defiantly as a shot came from nearby and nearly hit her foot but she only flinched slightly. She held steady as the butler looking man told her not to. From what Glen could see the foolish girl was a daughter of a business man he assumed. Regardless he had to stop them damnable OZ...

    He snuck around the bush and prepared to rush in when the voice got angry.

    "One last chance MOVE AWAY AND GIVE US YOUR MONEY!" the soldier yelled as he aimed his gun up. All of them looked at the girl only to have her refuse to budge and shake her head stubbornly. Stupid woman! She'll get killed! He had to move now and take the OZ bastards out! He put on a cap that hid his face from sight and quickly went in and before the OZ men knew it they had their legs slashed from behind severing tendons and then knocked out in a matter of twenty seconds flat. Glen looked down and considered finishing them off but the girl looked over in shock at the man.
    "What...who...who are you!? Are you here to kill us too!? Damn it their bleeding out..." The girl said as she went over to the unconcious men and started to tear off their sleeves. She attempted to tie them around their severed skin but she was unable to look at the blood and shied away as the butler came over and in her stead attempted to. Glen was simply shocked at this turn of events was this girl stupid enough to heal the men who tried to kill her!?

    "They're OZ soldiers who are sent here to usurp this country let them die. Just leave and no I'm not here to kill you, I don't even know you." Glen said plainly and slightly annoyed at the lack of thanks for his work. Of course these damn civilains would not be able to understand what was going on.

    "They are human beings though and they deserve a chance at life...so may I ask your name at least? I promise I won't turn you in to the authorities if you do. I am simply curious of the man who would kill people so easily and without hesitation like this. I'm also not so cold as to ignore the man who saved me."

    Glen glared as he was about to turn around he was sure the girl would not have seen his face with the shadows on him. "I'm....Andrew Jackson son of Bruce Jackson a famous martial artist in Britain." Glen replied as he ran off and the girl called out but he did not listen. No use getting attachments to people who might be dead tommorow. That included himself and anyone else like him everyone was expendable in war. He ran and looked around he grinned as he found the hidden car the OZ soldiers used to catch up to the girl's vehicle. He got into the jeep and was glad to see it had the keys and some guns on the floor just incase he would come into any trouble. He set it in drive and took off towards Jiang Liang with his thoughts on both the mission and that girl's identity.

    =========================================

    The Year is 2017 a.t.b. / 1962 A.D. of the Imperial Calendar...

    On August 10, 2010, a.t.b., the Holy Empire of Britannia declared war on Japan and subsequently conquered it for its Sakuradite supplies. Japan was later stripped of its name, titles, and even its identity by being renamed Area 11. Seven years later, teenage student Lelouch Lamperouge found himself pulled into a battle between anti-government terrorists and the Britannian Army in the Shinjuku Ghetto. In the midst of the conflict, a mysterious, green-haired girl saves him from death by granting him "the power of the king," which allows him to compel others to do his bidding. However during the battle something changed the fate of the young man. He was killed by an enemy artillery shot that was missed fired at the building he was in and subsequently buried. The Green Haired girl was later saved by Seta Date (Da-tay), a man of Half European and Japanese ancestry. It has been two days since then...

    =========================================

    The Japanese Liberation Front along with the House of Kyoto have vowed revenge on the Viceroy/Prince Clovis La Britannia and his men. The incident was deemed an atrocity beyond measures and the full crackdown was in place for Japanese, or Elevens as they are called in Britannia, for those suspected to be in the rebellion. This has allowed them to put more favorable politicians in office to replace those who were taken away. This has caused The Four Holy Swords of Japan come out of the more secretive missions and be called upon to defeat the Britannians by the orders of General of the JLF Nagamasa Takeda, and the leader of the entire liberation front Katase Tatewaki. The JLF also made a new unit dubbed the Juppongatana named after the group of agents that use to serve the Japanese government and made them the equal to the Holy Swords in rank. They have also added to their ranks numerous supporters and survivors from the Shinjuku Incident and many other supporters from around the world. However most are Japanese and only trusted Britannians are allowed inside their ranks. The vast majority of the JLF's new supporters are underground in various cities or simply informants. The JLF is now a massive army; however their leaders are waiting for the perfect time to strike with the deployment of Viceroy/Prince Clovis's newest soldier, and traitor to the people of Japan, Suzaku Kururugi pilot of the new Lancelot model. It is now time to retake the Japanese people once again and restore order and honor to the government.
    ===================
    This is the story of a group of soldiers who will be changed through their experiences. Their goal is to retake Japan, fight for vengeance, and for their own personal goals. Despite the loss of Lelouch, European-Japanese Soldier Seta Date of the Resistance fights to destroy the country that has ruined his family and for the loss of a father. He also seeks his mother, to find the answers to how far his strength will take him in this world, and how much more war will it take before this all ends? For better or worse he will find answers to this and has made a pact with C.C in order to do this. Kideshi Mase has sought revenge on his disgrace and seeks to destroy the family that gave him life. As he is a thunderbolt he will strike down the fools who have done this to him and seek answers to his many questions all of which will lead to revenge. His fury is like Zeus's powerful and strong, However will his journey be a fateful one or will he fall into obscurity? Kaze Fennikusu seeks to prove that he is better than his legacy and that despite his noble blood he is more than capable of fighting. His journey is starting now but how far will this fledging Phoenix’s wings take him? Aika Gruenewald Katsuragi seeks to become the best there ever was. Her test? Crush Britannia and its King. Mitsuhide Ishida has taken it upon himself to end the conflicts that these wars have caused by causing more violence. His intelligence is unquestionable but is his courage and resolve ready to be tested? Shinri 'Dex' Kagaku has come a long way from India but his scientific nature has caused him to become something more then he should have been. Be it for the right reasons or not his mentor Rakshata has sent him to help the Japanese Liberation Front. The Militarized Zone of India watches his progress will they find what they are looking for in him? All of these are about to be answered now....
    __________________________________________

    The time is 2:48 AM in the morning two days after the Shinjuku Incident that has caused so much confusion and for those who know the truth or suspect it hatred. The JLF forces have moved to steal a shipment of weapons traveling by train towards the Tokyo Settlement. Guns, Sutherlands, Tanks, and Armor for the new detachment of soldiers there following a small uprising near Shinjuku by former Honorary Britannians in Sutherlands. The train is traveling through a heavily wooded area and they have not been able to send in Knightmares so instead they sent in sixteen helicopters and four sutherlands belonging to the Purist Faction on the trains ready to fight if need by commanded by Jeremiah Gottwald. Their nearest reinforcements are an hour away and hold thirty six sutherlands at the base along with infantry troops and tanks. They are near the settlement but are still very paranoid....And they have right to be as the main group of JLA soldiers commanded by General Nagasmasa Takeda, direct descendent of Shingen Takeda's son, and feared amongst Britannians as a fierce gurellia fighter. He has also brought along with him the Juppongatana to take on the enemy forces that are there. The JLA have a total of 13 Knightmare Frames and a set of transports to quickly take everything away, or most of it, as fast as possible. They are set alongside the Railroad Tracks and have set up Ace Sniper Aika Gruenewald Katsuragi in her Sutherland Sniper some distance away to take care of the train.

    ______________________

    "This is G-1 come in G-2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Prepare for the train to come and keep the com on this channel because it is only this one we could make secure." came the voice of General Nagamasa over the radios given to all of the members. It was calm, collected, and smooth but had the typical formalness that many had come to expect from the general but it had a edge to it. He was stationed next to G-2, also known as the White Devil and his Step-son, and was ready to secure the area at the same time he was. He wondered if he brought that strange girl with him she was an odd one but he did not expect him to have a person work so closely with him. He held his controllers and waited for the responses. "X Squad prepare for anti-air combat the train is coming in t-minus four." he said to the other soldiers including Aika who were meant to provide support for the main units. He made sure to bring that inexperienced Scottish girl along and put her with Aika to make sure she would gain experience and not cause trouble.

    The first two units G-7 and then G-6 responded almost immediately afterward their voices quiet and stern. Then came Seta's voice over the com channel it was plain and collected just like Nagasmasa's. He was wearing his dark olive green uniform as usual and a pilot helmet that covered his head in case of something happening to him. His Burai Kai, made for the Juppogatana at the behest of General Nagamasa, was in more cover then the others due to its white paint scheme. His brown eyes looked from left to right and he activated his Factshpere Sensors to gain more data on the nearby targets. He had his hands nervously on his controllers for the Burai Kai. "This is G-2 ready and awaiting orders to annihilate enemy forces." was the reply as he looked at his screen. He had his Burai clasp its assault rifle as he waited feeling like a predator stalking its prey's den. This whole operation depended on his moves and that of his allies if one of them screwed up this fight was over. "Confirmation on system status all green here. All is quite along the tracks as you can see." He finished before turning off his side of the com to prevent it from making to much sound. "If this messes up we're screwed..." he said to himself quietly leaning back into his seat. He was thinking of all the stuff that he would be responsible for and he was not entirely sure he could pull it off but he was not called the "White Devil" for nothing and it was not his skin color that gave him that name. His name was made on a sea of blood and that blood was from dozens of Britannian soldiers and he planned on making it even redder this battle.

    Wallace walked up to the Fairy Tail guild hall and looked up at it and thought about the first time he walked through those doors. It was something he should tell someone about one day maybe his kid maybe his friends. But before he walked into the guild hall a hooded figure in a dirty brown cloak passed by him and as they met eyes Wallace could have sworn he had seen them before. It was eyes he had not seen in a long time. The man did not say sorry but nodded his head and walked into the guild hall. The man definitely was not Fairy Tail...Regardless he felt more of a deep profound sadness emanating from the man as if he had a long history of pain. He...did seem familiar but Wallace couldn't be bothered with it at the moment he had...far more important things to do for the moment. He entered the guild hall and saw the hooded man walk by the people without bumping into a single one. He was not sure if his presence was felt by the other guild mates but he assumed he did. Wallace Wilmore Fairy Tail's second strongest S Rank mage...Toguro outclassed him but only barely. His reputation was one of pure power and reality defying exploits. He was formerly apart of the Team called Team Shadow Striker and was to date the strongest trio to exist in Fairy Tail.

    It was led by Sam Aerohide but Toguro was the real man behind the team and Wallace brought the magic fury neither man could gain. Together they smashed entire guilds and destroyed countless monsters. He was proud of his work but all those again were stories for another day...As he passed upstairs Sam rushed over and grinned then whispered in his ear. Wallace nodded. "The master is ready then? Also Sam do you know who that is?" Sam nodded and chuckled with pure childish excitement. He was gitty and he grabbed his pants with his hands in his pockets and they shook slightly. They had spent the past four or five months preparing this little event for the guild...As Sam looked at the mystery man however he shook his head and shrugged. He guessed it was a man from another guild coming here to see Jormundur. "Sorry Wallace-Tan I don't know but hey at least we can get this party started..." Sam smirked and looked up to Wallace who was taller than him. So many memories of them working together and defying all the odds. It was a smile he knew well down to the fashioned clothes, the golden hair that was smooth and always shiny, and that devious chuckle. It always happened before something important happened. "No worries just stop being so gitty already. Go get the master and I'll go get the guests." Wallace said simply before walking out the door again and Sam literally jumped onto the second floor with no effort on his part. The highly acrobatic man was something that gave him the name "The Dancer". Sam knocked on the door to the bed room once before Toguro slammed it open and walked out with Jormundur riding on his shoulder with a dull look on his face. How very odd.. Sam thought and wondered why the master seemed so unhappy...It was....unnerving for the newly made man to see Jormundur of all people...so very strange.

    Toguro let the man down and took a shallow breath and relaxed. He straightened out his green t-shirt and looked down on the little magelings that had no idea what was in store for them. He wondered if they truly knew what was going to come next. The S-Ranks acting so secretive, the guild master so placid after a secret meeting, he was not so excited for the even incoming because he would likely be left out of it. He adjusted the sunglasses on his face and looked down at Wallace who had just walked back in with an annoyed look on his face. He was in the same boat this exercise coming up was pointless. It was all cooked up during arguments over some beers. It mattered little to Toguro as he wanted to see how his little misfits would do in this situation. He looked down to Jormundur who cleared his voice and picked up a megaphone to which he said, "Be quite all of you!!!!" extremely loud over the device which was met with curses and complaints by many including the guild's drunk. "Oh stop complaining and get your scrawny asses inside all of you round up down stairs in the guild hall!" he said in a uncharacteristic tone of annoyance to which Sam and Toguro shrugged as Wallace took his place in-between them. Sam on the left and Toguro on the right and Jormundur standing on the railing in front of the downstairs guild hall. The mystery man whom Wallace saw walked into the far corner of the room and sat there staring at...him? It didn't matter anymore and it was time to listen to Jormundur. The old man has greasy white hair and his beard was neatly trimmed with a pure white robe with golden letters, "FTFL" on it which stood for Fairy Tail For Life. He was a great man who was legend in many parts with many old enemies and many old rivals and friends as well.

    The magic council was saddened when he left the position as its leader up to go back to the guild. Sam was no longer jittery and Wallace was as unreadable as ever. Jormundur settled down and looked around "I may be old you ingrates but I'm not patient so listen up! Do I have to kick your little buts with magic? I hope not so let’s get on with this before I smack a bitch." Jormundur said irritated at which Jake Springfield, the reflector wizard and S-Rank candidate flipped him off only to get sacked by a wave bullet. He smashed through a table and a beer bottle flipped up into the air and the landed directly on his head and then proceeded to fall down and pour all over his pants. The guild laughed and the guy got up embarrassed and sighed. Toguro simply said which stopped nearly all the laughing instantly. Toguro then said nothing at all and the guild master thanked him. "Enough with all this wildness this is going to make us appear very unsettling to our guests! I need you all to man or woman up, grow a pair, and be prepared for something you haven't even been told about." Jormundur said hotly and raised his fist in the air. "I'm expecting a lot from you beca-" Jormundur was interrupted by a loud bang which was a magical obviously from the way it sounded...

    -Puppeting Garrod to move on-

    "Well Captain it's not like I got much of a choice I'm not going to be able to do much with my suit in its present condition but I'll have it up and running. I'll help on some repairs for you but before I go two questions for ya. One where am I bunking and two I need to know if you'll help me find my friends and Tiffa." Garrod said as he explained who each one of them were paying special attention to Tiffa's Description and Captain Jamil. Jason nodded and gave his consent as he knew his plan was now solidified. With the addition of another gundam and Graham they were now a force to be reckoned with indeed...Now there was the matter of clearing up the matters with Mattias's group...That will be difficult he knew it would be, and even though most of the crew knew that they could go on without them if need be, it would be nice to have more allies than enemies in the long run. If they were as competent as he thought they were they would consent to Jason's apologies. If not...then he'd deal with that as it comes and pick a plan based on the best choices regarding the circumstances.
    ====
    "All right Captain Jason I'll be going to the hanger make sure to tell them I'm coming!" Garrod said as he walked out of the room to which Jason allowed him to do so without much of a fuss. However Graham remained in the room and was waiting for something. "Ah yes Paul Mr. Graham here was pretty stubborn on this...because you're a gundam pilot he has been placed as your wing man and he will be rooming with us..." Paul's eyes widened but he was doing his best not to show surprise. "I want to see how good you are gundam! Are you as good as I think you are? Or are you just hot air and bluster? Regardless as a sentimental Virgo, I can't help but feel that this is destiny. I told you partner that I got your back and I meant it. I look forward to seeing what you have Paul." Graham got up and walked out of the room with the guards saluting him. Jason sat there calmly as Paul shut the door before walking up to the desk, quiet as a mouse, and proceeds to lose his temper in a profound way. "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME JASON!? HE'S A RANDOM GUY WE PICKED UP LITERALLY OUT OF A DESERT DURING A BATTLE. AND NOW NOT ONLY IS HE BUNKING WITH US HE IS MY WING MAN!? WHAT THE GOD DAMNED HELL IS THIS ABOUT!?" Paul screamed but no one heard because of the sound proof mode door active. He was shaking with anger and frustration at how kind Jason was being. Jason on the other hand walked up to Paul...and proceeded to punch him on the side of the head causing the guy to tumble back onto a chair. Paul clutched the side of his head as he glared up at Jason but said nothing. "First off Lieutenant Lyons this is all a part of the plan. Graham from what I have learned from him and what we've observed does not shove a knife into someone's back. I can't say for certain only knowing him for a day but his eyes don't lie. I see him like an old friend of mine from days long past when I was about a year younger than you are now. Secondly he was nothing but fixated on YOU Paul he wants to prove he is better than a gundam from a world he's never heard of. Those GN Gundams he has fought before however we are an entirely new experience for him and he will stay loyal as long as we keep things interesting and don't lie to him. Thirdly it's time you grow up and start trusting me a bit more your actions over the past few days have been intolerable and nearly cost us more men! YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS PAUL! YOU ARE ALL FAMILY TO ME AND I HATE LOSING JUST ONE OF YOU! I have guards posted to watch them at every damned step as well this whole place is a bee hive of information being sent directly to me....Also I'm sorry for that...I...Well let's just say seeing you act like that reminds me too much of myself back then when I first joined the military...I want better for you because I care for you Paul I do you are one of my closest companions and a dear friend. So will you accept my apology for hitting you?" Jason said offering his hand to Paul who had sat there glaring at him with his usual deathly stare his quiet somber attitude unnerved Jason but Paul did what he expected. Paul got up fixed his uniform and grabbed the captain's hand and shook it. "I'm sorry captain I shouldn't have lost my temper like that...I see what you were planning now and I have much to learn before I reach your level Captain. Now tell me what did Graham tell you?" Jason smiled and patted Paul's back as he went back down. He was getting a head ache again and that attitude shift was...a side of him he did not want to come out just yet. It seemed age was catching up to him faster and faster but he was reverting to an earlier time...
    ======
    "First off..." Jason explained the proceeds of what Graham had gone through prior to meeting them. He was testing a new Overflag unit prototype made to be used in space; his friends in the overflags were injured and honorably ejected from service. How Jason did not say out of respect for Graham but also explained Graham found a anomaly similar to the gundam's signals and had decided to chase it before being knocked unconscious and followed to wake up about a day or two ago, apparently some people have come here earlier and later than others, and joined up with a group of people he recognized as Patrick Colosaur of the AEU and a girl named Louise Halvey who was a part of something called the 'A-LAWS' Graham did not understand much more than that but Jason went onto describe how they met Quinze at the station they were at now and he was already fast at work producing these Leo suits using metal nearby. How was he producing them? Quinze apparently figured out how to use a mobile suit factory at the facility here and one east of the command field. Graham proceeded to try and leave after a truce was agreed on but was shot at and they knew the rest. "So it seems we have a facility that can build mobile suits and repair them...I'l believe I'll keep that up our sleeve until later. We could always mass produce those mobile doll weapons Graham described or possibly even make dagger dolls...However that is our report." Jason concluded as Paul considered the choices. This was a heavy heavy gamble they were going with and he did not expect this and this raised way to many questions. Who made these facilities and what were all these mysterious suits, people, and organizations coming from...This was getting more and more difficult. However Jason looked at Paul and nodded in sympathy as he knew what Paul was really wanting to do. "Thank you for all your hard work Paul...You may go and prepare to mourn your fellows..." Jason said as Paul got up and without a word followed the same route Graham took which would lead to the room all three men would share for now...

    ---

    Jason however was not finished as he thought he would need to send a message of peace to Mattias and he would need to make a few concessions. He got up and had Williams contact CPO Arnoa who was one of the daggers over by the other camp. "Arno rely the following to Mattias if you will...." Jason proceeded to describe his message to which Arnoa was surprised about but nodded and followed his orders. Soon as letter arrived to Mattias's group that was hand written by Arnoa during the relying to make sure he got it all right. The message said the following:
    ====
    "Mr. Mattias I give my apologies for my Lieutenant’s actions today but again I stand behind him in his stance of following his orders to the letter. But don't think I did not punish him for how fast he was to draw his blade. He has been put in his place and will no longer cause any trouble. However I expect the same from your group from now on. We must work together and that means we must be civil to each other. However in regards to the GN units I will explain myself with the following: The fact of the matter is we simply have much more experienced engineers, some of which running on their eighth year of service with the military and were with me since before I got the ship you see in my possession now, and much more spare parts and tech laying around we can use to replace it. Looking at it by a practical stand point you must understand why I ordered Paul to gather up all the GN units. They can be used more effectively by my pilots and be repaired easier by my engineers. However I am not sure when exactly we will have them working but we are already seeing problems with the fact that neither of us have the proper mechanical pieces to actually repair them in full. Thus I will be using cockpits from some of my damaged daggers from the battle. Please understand this I hold absolutely no animosity towards you and I am sorry if you don't return the feeling but I promise you I will not be as bashful and arrogant as to order you around. I simply am acting in the best interest of my crew and its inhabitants. We are all still in shell shock from the fractured earth war which I am reluctant to describe because of all the events revolving around it. You may follow your feeling and command your crew...and likewise I have ordered my men to only follow orders from Lieutenant Paul, Ensign Grant, Ensign Axer, and myself or whoever is in charge of their unit. Now onto the real reason I am sending this message. I am setting a funeral for the men who died on the Sundown they were all brave men at the age of eighteen and one veteran soldier who died protecting one of your own men in your zaku troop. I would be appreciative if you sent condolences or came to it yourself, you may bring your mobile suits but I recommend against it after all my crew, especially Lieutenant Paul and Mr. Graham Aker, are reluctant to trust you. Sincerely and to your health Captain Hiyan.

    Trowa sat in his house meditating in a dark room wearing the robes of his ancestor as his grandfather stood in front of him. He was talking about the ancient power of the Dai Li and how strong they were back a handful of generations ago. He was also wearing his old robe in truth the Dai Li had been disbanded but that did not stop them from passing these teachings onto their children in secret they would rise again...But that was a long time off his grandfather had told him that time after time again and after his previous failures in his own son his grandson would be the one to become Dai Li. His grandfather was one of the few true members of the earth bending elite and he disliked the fact he was forced to kneel to not only the earth king who was weak but the fire nation as well it made his blood boil. "Long ago young Trowa....there was a group of men trained by avatar Kyoshi who was a proud and strong avatar. She trained a group of earth benders to fight the evils of invaders and bring safety to Ba Sing Se. We did our job well for a long time...earth kings came and passed...times changed...and life continued as it always would. Before all this confounded technology...and before all these liars and monsters who abuse bending and those who are racist against benders...they are all fools." his grandfather muttered as Trowa muttered that nothing is sacred but merely prized. "These men were the finest and the best and put even the Earth King's guards to shame...however in their arrogance they shunned their duties to guard the city and to show the true form of earth bending that was as pure as the rock itself." the grandfather continued as he sat down in front of Trowa who was also sitting down breathing in the incense in the room. In between them was a small moldering fire that barely lit the room and two lamps that were powered by gas. It was dark, musty, and soothing all of the same but it was their element they were raised and born and lived in the shadows. Trowa muttered that the world turned impure and the sons of earth became complacent. "We of the true Dai Li were forced to serve fools and kings who had no sense of justice and thus we became a symbol of corruption...However...we of the true earth warriors waited...but we were too late." his grandfather said sadly and Trowa still showed no emotion as he said the city born of earth and hardship was stolen by the man who manipulated the shadows. Then all went up in flames. "And thus we betrayed our own creation and our lives were twisted and turned into something....'different'....and nothing was ever the same. The Lord of Fire turned the Dai Li into their servants and thus we became notorious the sons of earth were blamed for the fall of the Kingdom of Earth. However those who were true left in secret...and now..." he rose up and dimmed the lights further with his fingers by taking out the lights. Trowa did not reply immediately this time as was custom as he lifted his head and stared at his grandfather with his soulless brown eyes. "We will take back the Kingdom of Earth and restore pride to the sons of earth.... We will rise again." Trowa said with absolute conviction and then the fire blew out.

    Jason sat in his chair and looked at the timer and a map on a screen that was in front of him. He occasionally pulled it out when he needed to personally do something like command from the front as he looked at the red units on the map he wondered what was happening. This was not typical military behavior why was the enemy in such disarray over a simple blitz tactic in the cover of a sandstorm? Was he simply overrating his opponents or was it something else entirely? He was not sure but he cared even less at this point he was too caught up in the battle to care.
    ===
    Paul and Graham looked around the area they had cleared the second field and were about to move onto the next one. However Paul tapped his screen as it seemed to be effected by the jamming or the signal coming from this area whatever it was. Graham suddenly was stopped midflight and looked at the passage to the next area. "What is wrong Graham why are we stopping?" Paul asked as he sped up to Graham and found his answer. There were rocks in the way, big ones the size of boulders, Paul turned his rail guns on and shot at them but it merely caused more of a problem because it seemed that more rocks filled in to take the place of the ones he destroyed. He could clear it out but it would take a few shots and that was not what he had in mind. He looked at his energy container and saw it still had a good eighty one percent charge left. "I can easily fly over this but it will separate us into two teams." Graham said as the leos were not capable of flight and the jet daggers were which purposed a big problem in itself. Paul growled in anger and looked around the sand storm was clearing up as he contacted Katherine Williams over the communications channel. "We're stuck over here we need a tannhauser shot to clear some rubble." Paul said as Katherine replied that they were too far away to get a good shot off. Graham cursed and flew up into the air and looked around. "Williams I'll need my force silhouette pack now and I'm sending back the blast pack." Paul said as he waited for his reply which came soon afterward. "Of course Lieutenant sending the force pack to you!" she said as she worked over the systems quickly and launched the force pack out of the air.
    ===
    "All forces it seems there is a problem!" Grant said as he cut down a Gaza unit in one stroke and dodged another unit with extreme ease. He looked around and saw the sand was clearing up and in the distance he could see the enemy mobilizing it's counter attack from the last field they needed to capture on their side but it was too late for that type of tactic to work. Grant knew this fight was over and done with once they captured that field and converged with the lieutenant’s unit in the main field any resistance they had was going to be done and over with. "Garrod pull back I need you to reform because they are counter attacking...and I see...I see...shit there’s a wall blocking the path our leos can't move on!" Grant called Axer over the communications systems and looked at his radar it was being disrupted somewhat but nothing major. "Hey they are blocking our pathway! We can't get to the main field without losing our leos!" Grant said hurriedly as he looked around for some other way to enter the field but was forced to dodge as shot rang past him and nearly hit him. "Hey Ensign keep your head in the game we need to make sure nothing bad happens!" Axer's reply came.
    ===
    Jason looked at the clock and wondered what was happening still as the clock finished and the sand storm subsided however the radar was still fuzzy. Suddenly calls came in from the leaders of both teams and Jason wondered what was happening there were large boulders blocking the way from land mobile suits what was this? This....no...it couldn't be could it? A look of horror passed on Jason's face as he a shot smashed into the hull of the Sundown's bridge from above and units appeared from behind them.

    "God damn it no no!!! Roy intercept the enemy units NOW!" Jason called as the gundam replied and went to deal with the enemies however these were not Gaza units. They had a purplish blue paint scheme and were completely alien to Roy as he sent an image in to the Sundown and Jason knew right then and there what was happening. "Those gaza units aren't fighting back because...they are martyrs damn it and unmanned to like scarecrow soldiers!" Jason roared angrily and quickly spoke orders having all forces retreat towards the Sundown and reinforce them. The daggers took flight and shot at the unknown suits when Roy said "They are coming fr-" the last word he mouthed as a beam rifle shot smashed through the head of his gundam and through the cockpit into the ground causing the gundam to explode. Jason's eyes lit up with rage not at Roy's death which was regrettable and horrible but that the enemy had used a bait and switch! The Gaza units where used to lure them in but in reality they were simply dummies to have them all march into their trap and split them up three ways! Jason ordered counter-attacks but was getting reports on all fronts of units getting attacked. He had no choice at this point..."All units counter-attack and regroup! Baker and Williams I need you to break our jamming and send out a call for help to anything or anyone nearby!" Jason was desperate but how he wanted to know was how they knew that they were coming or was it dumb luck? No there was no luck in war perhaps another group was attacking this one in the past four or five days they have been here. Jason's men went into action as the machine guns and other units broke out into action the daggers launched and or shot from where they were. The leos Jason commanded were almost immediately taken out by the enemy. The following shout made his blood rage. It was clearly not from one of his men nor his allies. "WOHOOO! BRING IT ON WOOLF ENNEACLE IS HERE TO TAKE YOU ALL ON!" Came a battle cry from the main unit which was painted white and it was the one who killed Roy the others gave a similar chant and the Woolf guy shot at Allelujah as he moved to take action but thankfully a dagger unit moved in and blocked the shot with its shield which was destroyed and it scorched it's arm too. "Go gundam we'll cover you!" came the pilots call it was a natural instinct for them to protect the lieutenant in the battle so they looked to Allelujah to lead the assault like Paul would. The shots and counter shots went through the air and a few daggers and unknown mobile suits clashed and a few of them died as a few daggers launched from the Sundown's hold. "Matthias you know what to do!" Jason said as he looked over the other areas...
    ====
    "What the hell!?" Paul's voice came suddenly as he dodged a few shots it seemed the enemy was hiding above the sandstorm in the clouds why didn't he sense anything! Was he too engrossed in battle regardless he blocked a few shots and retaliated with missile fire against a large amount of orange suits. Graham looked up into the sky as well and shot his rifle at them however Paul suddenly got a flash like he got when he was in danger. "God damn it y-" Graham started to say but Paul interrupted him as he smashed his shield in to Graham and used his thrusters to go backwards "That was close!" Paul said in panic as a mobile suit had jumped over the rocks apparently and had almost cut them both in half it did however continue on and hit Beta's rear soldier. Who screamed in horror and died with a ear piercing scream. He noticed he and his men were cut off just then as the leos were shot in the face or their bodies and some exploded while the daggers retaliated at the best of their ability and they were the elite of the Sundown just behind SIGMA so they showed their worth by easily killing four of the mobile suits immediately. All around them they were surrounded and in the field they captured more suits were landing they were effectively cut off. "Looks like I owe you one gundam let me-" Graham said but Paul shouted his name and he dodged a sudden rifle shot from a red zaku warrior that was on a ship nearby. Graham and Paul both immediately knew that the command ship had entered the battlefield. "Shit! Gundam I'll handle them and that red zaku thing you handle that mobile suit over there the one that almost killed us. I have to let you have some of the glory." Graham joked half heartily but was still very serious as he turned around and headed to fight the enemy mobile suit and a few of the daggers formed on him as a few of the orange suits approached them. However Paul had no time to help Graham and or worry about him as he quickly took his chance and saw the force silhouette pack come near him. He went to change into it immediately telling his men to cover him but before he did the strange lion like suit charged him with the beam blades on its sides extended. However Beta leader jumped in its way and blocked the shots using the beam saber from his fallen comrade and his own and clashed with the thing holding it back as sand flew on either side of the suit. "Go lieutenant I'll make sure this son of a bitch does not get to you!" Beta leader called and Paul did so hoping he could change in time. However Paul noticed something this machine didn't have an enemy code...it was an alliance code...Gaia gundam...this was one of his own people...
    ====
    Grant looked and saw the enemies ascending from the sky as Axer and the other controllers warned him of the danger coming and he was ready as the blue suits attacked him from all sides and the Gaza units charged him from the north. Grant growled in anger as he saw his comrades in the air get shot down from behind in midair leaving only a few of them left and the blood curdling screams filled the radio. He narrowly avoided the enemy shots as he dodged and weaved shots in the air like an ace. He looked around and saw the leos being adjusted to target the new units and Grant flew to the ground as anger sparked in him. He recovered quickly and resolved he'd avenge them. "You sneaky fuckers come at me I'll avenge my men!" he shouted as he sped down wards as he glimpsed three dom units approaching the group on the ground. The calls of the dead rang in his ears as he heard the men who died filled his ears. He wasn't going to let them go unavenged. However he did hear faintly two people called Mash and Ortega get called out he assumed it was one of the men in the air with him but in reality it was from the three doms.
    ===
    The panic was palpable as Lacus looked around and worked and also informed Matthias of their plight and the men showing a map and that all the fields were cut off from each other. "Skyraider One this is Cl-Baker! They are all around us be careful of friendly fire the enemy ace is the white one I think!" however as Vlad went into attack mode a blue mobile suit went down and shot his zaku's arm and leg crippling the zaku and another one came down and stabbed a zaku through the head and causing it to plow into the ground. A dagger blocked a shot that would have gone through Matthias's cockpit by throwing its shield away and grabbing a downed one from a crippled dagger. "That was close! Skyraiders are you ok? Do you copy? These suits outmatch yours let Allelujah cover you! Don't put yourself into too much danger! Please I don't want to see you die!" she said hurriedly and looked around in panic as she looked at Jason whose face was one of confusion, hatred, self-loathing, and realization all in one. "CAPTAIN ARE NORTHREN TEAM OK? IS THE LEIUTENANT FINE?!" she asked hurriedly as soon as she grasped what was happening she couldn't help but worry about them and her heart beat fastened as she realized Paul may die in this as well as so many of her new friends! This was war? No this was butchery...Axer's comment came next asking what they would do. "The northern team is fine and the lieutenant is leading a counter attack...as for the battle we pray someone answers our call or we can break through this ambush...Personally I am going to go give them a fight to remember. John take over for now." Jason said as he got up and John Calhone asked what he was doing and Jason said he was going to help them all out as best as he could. Jason ran out the door and John immediately took his place and gave his men over to Axer's control and advice. Lacus was truly scared but it did not show she kept brave and hoped for the best.

    On the enemy side slightly earlier...
    "This will work don't worry I promise you." Haman consoled her soldiers as they waited in the sky and the men died below. Who cares if they sacrificed the Gaza units they were about ready to fall apart anyways. Woolf was not happy over this but then again he was nothing but a hot blooded show off despite his piloting skills. She sat in the command seat of her Gwadan command ship and saw that the fools had taken the bait. Haman had Stellar and The Black Tri-Stars down below and promised them that they would not come to harm’s way. In truth they were weak and expendable especially that Stellar girl who was unstable and childish. "Understood I just hate the fact we are using this alliance channel to communicate over wouldn't they hear us?" Gaia said gruffly he did not like anything to do with the feddies and this girl was one of them and so was Woolf but he did not mind. However he disagreed with her plan on waiting after Stellar told them of the enemy's approach her alliance codes giving them all the ability to work unhindered and the fact that the black jet mobile suit had not come today Haman had set a trap for them to step into. However they were also stealthily jamming the upper atmosphere above the sand storm and thus they never would have expected this to happen. If so they were newtypes or very very smart...Woolfe wanted a more typical plan of him boasting he would just go in and destroy them all. The details were flashy and to be expected. "Well too bad Gaia you will follow it or die on your own. Pick one or the other." Haman said cruelly as she sat cross legged in the chair. "Uhh...Uhh...Haman-I mean Lady Haman the storm is almost over should I attack?" Stellar said shyly over the com as she sat in Gaia Gundam ready to attack. She was a good girl but she had her problems. "No you'll die if you do stay back and wait for the storm to be over then attack." Haman said forcefully and the girl tensed immediately then nodded curtly her eyes full of fear. She did not like seeing that but it was needed...The girl was a useful tool. "The storm is almost over Haman! I heading in like it or not I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW BADASS I AM! MY WOLF INSTINCTS ARE GOING TO WIN US THIS FIGHT!" came the hot blooded Woolf who charged and then Haman gave her own orders to attack; the storm would be done soon anyway. Woolf was a good soldier but he was a feddie and thus he was too a simple tool to be used until she could find Minerva and Char..."Haman the enemy is moving in I'll coordinate the attack!" came the insolent girl named Chan who would be commanding her forces in regards to where the enemies are at during this battle. Chan was useful but she was also a bitch in her own way and Haman disliked her greatly. Stuck together with feddies was not her ideal attack plan...

    Jason walked down the hall as a technician ran up to him and his guard. The tech was grinning and wiping oil off his nose "Sir we did as you ordered we scanned the GN Drive before we gave it to them. We still won't be able to build it but we have a good idea on how long those Trans-AM systems work now. We did the same to the mobile suit Hiling Care used it turns out the thing nearly matches both Allleujah and Roy's old suit in terms of power. I have to say I don't like it that we let them run around with powerful tech like that. Especially since we know they are not the mercenary types we thought them to be." said the technician as he peered at the captain. The man was not much older than Paul and yet here he was a full-fledged tech leader because of the older one had passed out due to exhaustion. Jason always made a plan within a plan. He'd keep everyone happy but he'd hold the cards in his favor at the end of the day. Now that it was done and over with Jason put a hand on the young man's shoulder and smiled. "That is great son you have done a impressive job despite your age.
    Go on go get a rest and relax a bit I'll send for one of the spare techs in the engine room to take your place."
    Jason said peering down at the young embarrassed soldier in front of him who argued that he could still work. He even brought up the point that Jason had went out to fight in the battles twice in a room minus the skirmishes between the two major fights. Jason sighed but he did not flinch away from the man's determination. "Of course you can my boy but I need everyone at the height of their health. Go rest and make me proud to call you one of my own. A man who lives are the son down is a man who is a part of this big family of mine. I won't let you go and tire yourself out of misguided senses of duty and romance. Yes I know how you look at Laura Ashley you young fool." the man stammered and he guard, normally stoic, laughed at that and Jason chuckled. "Ok ok I'll go just...just take care of yourself captain we all need you to guide us like a Shepard guides his flock." the boy said as he walked down the hall. Jason watched him and nodded his head at the boy's approval after he left. He always felt like things were shoved on him as a last resort. A man of his years and military experience was bound to feel that way. In most cases people who lasted this long become old stoic and full of self-pride that they couldn't see the picture and thought of themselves as the best. Jason knew from experience there was always that one stroke of luck or someone slightly better. As he walked into his room he looked at Paul's empty cot and then to Graham's soon to be Hiling Care's cot as well.
    This would be awkward living with a young lady in his room but he had no interest into getting into anything that would violate his authority. He was planning on chipping away at Hiling's walls eventually it would break and he would make her a loyal soldier. But first he needed to make her Paul's friend of sorts. When Paul trusts a person he normally has a way of etching them into a loyal friend like how he was with most of the crew on this ship. The first step would be that...but Jason knew it wouldn't be easy. He wished it was Graham though as the old captain had grown fond of the younger man's energy and confidence where Paul was all professional and business like. However now was not the time to do that for now he had something more he had to do. "Miss Catherine please come down to my quarters now to discuss what I wanted. Don't worry you aren't in trouble." Jason said as he pressed his fingers to his ears to activate the communicator. The thing worked via mentioning the specific person you want or by simply sending out a general signal to all hands. If used in mass it would sometimes break so most people tried to use a hand held version but Jason was not the one to waste time finding a name on over two hundred and twenty crew members. He dismissed the guard who nodded and left leaving Jason to his thoughts until the girl arrived. Lacus...he was surprised how good an actor she was having even managed to evade questions of where she was from and why she was here. The girl was a good liar which made Jason wonder...had she told him the truth or a fabricated lie born out of fear of him? "I'm here captain what is it you need?" came the voice of Lacus as she wandered into the room looking uncomfortable. Jason motioned for her to sit down on Paul's bed as he sat down on Graham's old cot.
    "I hope I haven't done something disappointing." she said politely and he chuckled. For a spacenoid she sure as hell was a very cute one at that he had to say. When he had recommended Paul did go through with this arranged marriage more or less he was surprised at how much she helped Paul out. Before he met her he was always so cold and stoic and it was all about duty. Even after George had backstabbed them he still found it in him to trust others. "It is alright I want to ask you a question and offer a proposition if you would. By the way you look pretty today and that cap suits a young lady like you." Jason asked and Lacus looked at Jason and blushed slightly at the compliment but kept her composure. "Of course sir and thank you for the compliment." She told him as she fidgeted uncomfortably on the bed. She was not one deny a request from the man who looked after her to-be-husband after all. She wondered what Jason could possibly have in mind for her was it something important? Was Paul not doing so well and she wanted him to reveal herself to him? What was it? "Young Miss Lacus Clyne Lyons...that was a mouthful." Jason said chuckling and that brought a smile to her face seeing a grown man like him find fun in the smallest of things. He finished up laughing soon enough however and then returned his attention to her, "I want to ask if you are alright on this ship first off? Is everything alright?" He asked Lacus who shrugged not much had been bothering her and to be honest she liked her bunk mates a lot. "I'm alright I'm just worried about our people and the people of the Sic Semper who are losing each other so quickly. We are a big ship but they are small in size and losing a man is more of an impact to them then us. Most of us on the ship barely know each other and to be honest we just seem to shove each other down into a medical bay bed when we're hurt. I'd like to see people care for each other more and I'd like to see us get along more with the other crew. I met most of them and they seem like decent people would it be so hard to just accept their help?" Lacus asked Jason who shook his head.
    "I'm afraid not I'd like to throw down some of those walls but the truth be told your dear husband won't allow it and neither would most of the elite squads. They trust earthnoids more than anything. If only I could break that and get a truthful vow from Matthias that he would not do anything to provoke the crew. But there is always conflict and this will never happen. We will have to find a mutual understanding but that is unlikely unless we forge it in battle." Jason said and Lacus was about to argue but thought against it Captain Jason was a stubborn man she knew that very well. "I-I understand I suppose but I don't agree with it. We should be able to find a good compromise. Now what is it you wanted to ask of me?" Lacus asked and Jason smiled and chuckled which confused the young girl even more. Jason stood up and walked to a mirror on his side of the room. He looked in it and saw the wrinkles and the rough complexion of his face and laughed. Was it so long ago that he looked into it and saw a kid in his prime?
    "I want to ask you...I want to ask you if you'd accept me teaching you the tactics of war and how to lead properly." he asked her and Lacus really was surprised this time and confused! How and why we she being picked!? There were so many people in this ship who would make a better leader than she! This was a joke it had to be...Lacus was left dumbstruck and didn't speak but Jason continued "When I look in your eyes I see intelligence but it is washed up in naive thoughts of how the world works and how people work. I want you to hang onto those hopes of peace though and I want you to learn what I can teach you. So you may live up to par with what I expect from you which is a great deal." Jason said as she looked at him and finally got her act together. She took a deep breath and looked him with all her seriousness. "Why are you asking this of me? There are better people on this ship and you know it. I'm also a civilian by all technicalities." she said and waited for Jason to respond but he simply looked in the mirror and his voice turned shallow and quiet "Because you are a girl full of life and your passion inspires people who listen to you. You have a charisma born of a poet's will to sing in front of many. You have a beautiful aura around you that even thawed out Paul Lyon's heart. Most of all...you care for all people. You will be a great woman some day and I will not live to see it most likely." Jason said as he turned around to look at Lacus who was not all impressed with his reasons. "There has to be more to it...a man like you Jason Hiyan has more than one reason to do something like this." Lacus said which made Jason smile because she was so good at knowing a person's true nature. "True enough your trust of others will bring everyone together I know that much. As for why you? Because if I die here I intend for you to lead the crew because you’re the only spacenoid here in our crew besides Paul and those from the other ship who can follow his or her heart and not be bogged down by personal gain."

    Paul walked along with the doctor who showed him past the rows of men each of which he thanked for their service and told them to get better. He hoped this show would give hope to a few of them if so then his job was being done. He hated that he had to let these men get hurt but there was little he could do right? Was it that he felt responsible for how many innocents died in war because of how weak he was? Or was it because he thought of these men as his own as Jason would put it? Regardless he happily did what he could for the men be it a simple pat on the arm or a talk with them about their wives or husbands. Hell he'd trade places with them if he could! What good was a bit of pain over the well being of your fellow soldiers? Or your fellow man was Lacus had told him so many times...it was frankly imprinted on his brain at this point. He did not like the idea of being old but consoled himself that when he did he could safely give his reins over to the next generation. When he finally got to Graham he cringed a little. The man had a few bruises on his arms from the rough landing he had and there was still some dried blood around his lips. Paul looked over to the doctor "Will he be ok doc? I need every man I can. Graham is a good man and a fellow lover of Earth. I want to make sure he is able to fight again." Paul said uncaringly but in truth he was worried about the guy. Graham had done a good job and saved his ass back there even though he stopped him from killing a person he thought as an enemy in Allelujah. Why would this man risk so much for a man who was only a fellow warrior at best? They weren't friends as far as Paul knew they had the same relationship as Paul did with any of the new recruits. "I'm not sure Lieutenant but he is unconscious. Is there anything you want us to do for him?" The doctor asked knowing Paul liked to play favorites but Paul shook his head no. This was what Graham would have wanted: No special treatment and no favors. Paul smiled and looked down at them man. "You know...we're not so different Graham. I want you to know that. I want you to recover soon and when you do come and help me fight. I could use a good man like you." Paul said trying to give words of respect but it was not easy for him. He was not the type of person to do this sort of thing. "Well look at me just doing this sort of thing. I...well take care of yourself I'll be waiting." Paul said and turned around.

    Suddenly a hand reached out and grabbed the back of Paul's flight suit and he turned around to see Graham smiling and having some sort of mixture of coughing and chuckles. His eyes were opening slightly and he smiled at Paul. He shook his head slightly and Paul looked at him confused wasn't he supposed to be unconscious? The doctor was also astounded and pleaded with Graham to go back to sleep he had to recover they had to set his bones back in place with a quick surgery. Graham turned to the doctor while still holding onto Paul's suit and shook his head. Graham then turned back to Paul who was waiting for him to say something. But he had the urge to say something "Hey are you ok man?" Paul asked him casually as if Graham had just fallen off a skateboard or a bike. He looked down at the man with a respect and could tell he was in pain. Graham returned the favor with his own shade of respect but it was overshadowed by pain. Graham nodded his head and had a grin plastered on his face no teeth just a grin. "You're really stubborn you know that? When someone cuts open your chest you’re not supposed to be awake." Paul joked and Graham nodded and chuckled more which obviously pained them man.
    "Hey don't go overboard ok? I know how passionate you are about battle and the like and the fact that you had a surgery will prevent you from fighting. But I promise you I will fight well enough for both of us ok? Will that promise make you happy?" Paul asked and Graham looked at his own hands for a long moment and then back to Paul and he gave him a thumbs up and let go of Paul. "All right then I will don't worry I won't steal all of your glory." Paul said which brought laughter from both men but Graham's was all in his throat and the doctor was increasingly getting worried but kept quiet. "Alright cya man I hope to fight with you again in a week or so." Paul said as he turned around and walked away. He wanted nothing more than to fight with a man like that who could overcome so much pain..."Fight on young man...my fellow warrior..." Paul looked back and saw Graham was unconscious now and the doctor was helping him out by putting a mask on his face for easier breathing. Was Paul imagining that...or...did he just hear Graham acknowledge him as a...Paul left without saying another word intent on getting some resting down in the armory where it was quiet...he couldn't face Jason just yet...

    Hai sat in the small makeshift garden his mother had made out of pots and plants meditating. Unlike the other genin Hai had a peaceful state of mind when he was not fighting or training. Simply enjoying all of the things around you and enjoying life for what it is was enough for him. In contrast to how his parents were raised to be savage and warlike only for them to reject their fathers and do their own thing to find serenity in their surroundings no matter how dark and gloomy the situation was. That was Hai's way of life. To observe, to imagine, to learn, to understand, calculate, formulate, and to end. Everything must come to an end eventually be it a friendship into death or a career because of old age or a plant to time not even the stone was safe. Mountains crumble, people die, and Hai supposed it was not out of the ordinary to not really care about it. Why bother being hyperactive? What did childhood in this world bring besides the knowledge that you had power but others out there would threaten to kill you for it or because of it? This was all to deep in retrospect he was too young to be pondering what life was like at this age. Hai looked up as his mom walked in the room. She wore her normal white apron and jeans if anything she was like a tomboy to his father's wandering mind and deep meaning words. "It is time for you to get going Hai your sensei is going to be waiting for you. Despite how he or she may be make sure to give it your all. Make sure no one can say you aren't living to the best of your abilities at the moment." She said quietly and patiently with care as she elegantly poured some water in a vase of white roses. Hai nodded not saying a word he bowed to his mother and left the house. His father was not there as he went out to shop today.

    Hai walked down the street patiently with a very even stride. Not breaking it and carefully he stepped along not really caring what happened next. He looked down at his bandana he received before leaving school. He tied it to his head without a second thought. He was going into a world now be it he wanted to see it or not. This was to be his fate and he would endure it so he would become stronger. Was that not the best way to live? To strive to be the best? To be the strongest? To show that you can beat those who race by your side? Or was it best to take a slow route and observed the mistakes the others made and make sure you did not make the same? Fall behind at the expense of being able to learn from the failures of your predecessors? Regardless Hai looked at the northern lookout tower and waved to a man his father often invited to dinner on special occasions. He knocked on the door and wondered what would happen next?
