"Thank you." The Instructor thanked Baker with humility. "We'll contact them when we need any help." He entered the room to find it something he didn't expect, well he doesn't really know how the interior of a flying carrier should look like. If compared to an airship then it's slightly better. "Bed looks decent." He remarked.
Donna looked at the room as well but since she hasn't been on any carrier it's hard to tell if it's good or bad. She touched the bed, which was slightly hard, presumably to harden the soldiers sleeping on it. "I have a spare set of clothing inside Sandrock." She remembered. "But I can get it tomorrow."
The Instructor took the top bunk. "We can expect to be here for a while." He told her. "We'll cooperate with them until we can return back on our way to Warsaw." He took off his goggles to have a look at it. Katherine was in his thought.
Donna thought about the whole situation she didn't like at all while taking the bunk below the Instructor, but she has to swallow some discontent also. From what she heard of Blackstar he had the rank of lieutenant for doing well. He would be a superior pilot compared to her when she was personally trained by Instructor W and received her rank due to political reasons.

"Then I'll trust them." The Lord responded. "I have seen your son fight well in Tripoli and Brussels. He left a very impressive record in his fights." He stood up, ready to leave. "Thank you for letting me stay for a while. I believe we were once in a same Treize Faction as well Heero." He opened the door and left the comfort of home. He will now invest the future to his children as he's no longer needed in the world. He was satisfied that he was now obscure in the world and patiently waited for his death. "You're in control now." He thought.

After words from the Captain, Donna went to the Sangesgeist made sure in full performance by Instructor W. She was thinking about the next hours that would decide the fate of humanity. Thanks to some help from Milou she will die with less regrets if she does. She turned on the OS to speak to Stuart. "Stuart, are the OZ forces ready?" She asked.
"Ready to throw their lives for you." He replied.
"Do I still need to do a speech?" It was something Donna wasn't good at.
"It will make it better." Stuart asnwered.
She took a minute to think of a speech. She switched to the channel used by the OZ forces. "This is Colonel Donna Nada Lindemann, commander of the OZ forces for this battle. What we will see soon is the Twilight of Humanity, where our worth will be tested. There will be casualties but we will prevail."
OZ was once a massive military for the Romefeller Foundation. We may be fragmented groups that is a pale shadow of it's namesake but we will prove to the Heavens that we carry on their legacy.
We will win Ragnarok."
The long speech made Donna needing a drink, but there we rallies of supports with the channel being filled with voices shouting the names of houses.
Milou heard the speech as well when he got into OZ's channel. "She can survive this after all." He remarked, impressed.

Tano gave some final thoughts, where the battle would mark the end of the war. He was a victim of the war, how he was the only survivor in his family. What he will do now may end future sufferings like his. "For the Coalition and the lives that were lost." He prayed.

Seeing Blare's last breath brought no difference to the Lord. "Good riddance." He thought to himself. He walked out of the room to allow others to do their jobs without hindrance. He would return to his quarters for some thinking.

He thought about how the war changed him, once a man would be content with peace warped into a major supplier for money just to buy bullets in skulls. He was clinging on to an ideology desperately during the war to prevent the emptiness in his heart getting the better of him. The process blanked out from his children and neglecting them, forcing them to fight in his war. He realised how he became a relic of the Eve Wars, now unneeded. He began writing a new letter for his children to have when they return from the Sol Invictus. After he finished writing with his signature he would place it in an envelope and leave it on his desk.

The Lord took a long walk to the Yuy family's temporary home. He gave a knock at the door, not really expecting anyone to welcome him. "Hello, I thought I should speak to you for a while." He introduced, surprisingly humble unlike how he used to be. "Since Brussels I had my mind on the whole war, how we were deceived all this time." He saw Relena sitting on a couch "I believe I should apologise for antagonising you for all those years." He said to Relena. He began his question to both of them. "Will our children be able to improve from our mistakes made in this war?" He asked them.

A hastened, but well-aimed shot from the Mobile Suit-sized sniper rifle managed to avert the hostage situation of the parliament. As soon as it was shot he turned to aiming at the Sol Thero Mobile Dolls, providing cover fire for the other Panthers to finish them off along with the Coalition. Once all threats were no longer visible on the radar the Lord disembarked from the Mobile Suit.
A few medics rushed to treat his hand. "Lord Lindemann, we came to treat your injuries from the firefight." The leading medic announced.
"I don't have time for that." The Lord refused. "I have to deal with Blair first." He climbed to the parliament building to look for the traitor. He searched as much of the rooms he can find but his search was fruitless until he witnessed Heero and his men walking upstairs. He followed them and found Blare, also with Devine, someone he barely knew dead on the floor. "So Blare. I wished you died in the skirmish but you on got yourself injured. I guess that will give us the time to hear about your betrayal." He addressed him.

Milou had a look at the bottle of wine brought into the room. "Who brought it for us?" He asked.
Donna pointed above to the heavens. "Everyone still alive and dead." She replied. "Someone must have thought wine would be a suitable trophy."
Milou thought about how everyone was having a bet on who would end up with Donna. He however felt that he shouldn't receive the prize. "Donna, I should say there's someone that you know that deserves you and the wine more than me." He said. "I really feel I can't date someone in a war because the feeling of loss would be unbearable."
Donna saw how the Martian was abotu to leave. "Milou." She called him to get his attention. "Thank you earlier anyway. I won't die with much regrets."
He gave a smile back, glad with how she was able to take it well. He felt a bit fatalistic at the time as well. "You're welcome." He answered back before leaving the room.
The Gundam pilot sat on a chair and looked at the bottle of wine. She thought about who he meant with someone that deserves her more.

Lord Lindemann didn't have time to thank for the cover fire. He utilised crates lying around to give him a boost to reach the window, shooting the glass to make way. He was able to climb in after a few attempts, ignoring his bleeding wrists from the glass. He dropped to the floor of the hangar but was quick to get up with determination. He found the unused Mobile Suits, finally what's needed. He got into a Panther unit and seized a beam rifle. He fired at the hangar door to allow others to claim Mobile Suits. Once the Earth-Sphere soldiers entered he discarded the beam rifle for a sniper rifle. "I'll make a careful shot to prevent the Panther holding the parliament from exploding." He declared to them.

“Hey, you wanted me?” Milou asked as he entered the room. He found Donna on her bed, changed into something more appropriate for an OZ officer. Her keffiyeh was notably not worn.
Donna turned his eyes on him. “Yeah.” She replied. “I’ve been thinking a lot since the whole mess in Brussels and the sudden leadership.” She lightly tapped at the edge of the bed, a way to tell him to sit there.
Milou knew what her body language meant. He sat on the bed, next to the Gundam pilot. “I thought you recovered from that?” He asked curiously. “And what are you thinking now?”
“The chance of surviving this battle will be slim.” She explained. “Our chances are higher by a small margin.”
Milou saw the keffiyeh on a desk nearby and took it. He offered it back to Donna. “I rarely see you without it.”
She looked at her scarf. “Thanks.” She accepted. “Everyone in the family has one. My father wants to remind us of our heritage in the Levant.”
Milou thought of Donna’s body language so far as he did during his days with a cloak and dagger. His analysis skill he used to spy on people decayed after he arrived on Earth.
Donna partially took the keffiyeh. “Even all of us dying is possible.” She spoke her thoughts. “Dying with regrets left.” She looked at Milou. “Can you stay here with me for the night?” She asked. “I need company.”
Milou now understood why he couldn’t figure it out in the first place. He was also in love like Donna. “Sure.” He answered. He walked to the door to make sure it’s locked properly. When he was done, Donna got up and wrapped her keffiyeh to him as well with them briefly sharing a kiss.

Suchart found the room Donna was supposed to be in. He brought with him a bottle of red wine, a vintage from the Iberian Peninsula. “Congratulations.” He remarked. “Everyone in Heaven will be happy (well except for Mercurio maybe). Glad I got this in Brussels before leaving.” He left it at the door and knocked before quickly leaving.

Lord Lindemann still needed to think quick. He was the only one that is able to save the Parliament from outside. One of the Mobile Suit hangars may be lucky to be able to enter from the rear windows but even after seizing a Mobile Suit one wrong move on the stolen Panther can create an explosion that can also kill the Parliament. "Damn it, the things I do." He muttered as he dashed to the rear of one of the hangars. Seeing the altitude of the windows, he had to think of a way to climb up.

"We did get a large delivery of energy packs." Tano added. "I'll tell McNeil to hand some to you."
Instructor W entered the room to look at the assembled Gundam pilots. It somehow felt nostalgic for him with how he fought the Eve Wars alongside Heero, Duo, Trowa and Wufei with support from Noin, Sally Howard and the Maganacs. He felt that he can trust them all to end the war despite initially fighting on opposing sides. "So I see you're all preparing for the battle?" He asked.
"Just a few bits and pieces." Milou replied.
Donna remembered that she needed to speak with Stuart on strategems. "I need to speak to Stuart." She said, standing up.
"I'll take to the communications brig." The Coalition lieutenant offered. The walk to the brig was short. The room was filled with many communication devices, enough to pass on information to more than a fleet. He turned on one of the radio and adjusted the dial. "This is Executor Rising, which ship houses Stuart of OZ?"
"This is Vengeance sir. He's aboard out ship. We'll bring him in."
Donna took a seat in front the radio while Tano left the room for some privacy with Milou and Instructor W remaining. She heard Stuart's voice from the other side. "Baron Andrew Stuart?" She asked.
"At your service." Stuart gave his reply. "You have a plan already?"
"Not really." She replied.
"You'll probably need a quick speech prepared as well." He pointed out. "OZ supports love those."
Instructor W had an idea. "Can I suggest for Donna to command the forces with the Zero system?" He entered the conversation. "The Gundam pilots and White Fang used the Zero system in the Eve Wars to fight each other and the old OZ."
There was sound of Stuart scratching his head, presumably in suprise. "That can do I guess." He replied. "I guess we're done then. Colonel, looking forward to serve you."
The conversation was hung with a productive result at the end. Donna turned to speak to the Instructor. "Thank you." She thanked. "You've been there for me a long time but I never got know who you actually are."
The Instructor realised she was right with how he hid his past. "You're right." He answered. "Although I taught you everyhing to be a Gundam pilot I never told you who I am." He took off the googles he wore. "I'm Quatre Raberba Winner. I was one of the Gundam pilots from thirty years ago."
Donna had a feeling that he would be someone like that. "Why didn't you tell me?" She asked.
"I thought I failed as a Gundam pilot when the Falson War began." He explained. "And there have been people close to me dying or injured like the Maganacs and Katherine. I agreed with the construction of Sandesgeist because I thought it was the only way to redeem myself."
It was surprising to hear what the Instructor revealed. "Instructor, it wasn't your fault." Donna reminded. "We were all manipulated into this war."
"Thank you Donna." He replied. "You can call me Quatre from now on." He handed the goggles to Donna. "These goggles represented the leadership of the Maganacs. You'll need it to lead OZ also."
The Instructor touched the door knob when Milou spoke. "Sir, my mother also did speak highly of you and the other pilots." he said.
The man gave a smile. "Thank you." He answered. He left the room to leave the two Gundam pilots alone.
Donna blushed when she was alone with Milou. "Can you see me at the quarters later?" She asked. "I want your company alone."
Milou remembered how they weren't able to meet privately after the launch. "Sure." He replied. He saw Donna leave the room and thought of how she's dealing with her new role as OZ's leader.

Lord Lindemann wandered the base to oversee the defences. He was curious with the convoy that just arrived that he had to ask a nearby mechanic. "Any idea where that convoy is from?" He asked. The mechanic just gave a shrug. The attention was turned to the convoy again when gunshots were heard realising an attack. The mechanics immediately worked to seal the Mobile Suit hangars under orders while Lord Lindemann took cover away from the hangar, drawing his pistol. He then realised that the whole attack was a work from someone from the inside. "Blare." He muttered. "A shame he didn't accidentally die in Brussels." He planned his way carefully to the parliament building and paused when a Panther was seized with a beam rifle aimed at the parliamentary building. Blare's treachery was confirmed when he heard the demand for the release of the latter. He looked at the hangar where the Panther was stolen from, thinking of retaliating with another Mobile Suit but the plan was shot down when he noticed the guards preventing entry.

"Not sure if the sims here are of any use judging by how we're fighting enemies not on there." Tano remarked with skepticism. He took the brace stance for the jump also.
McNeil entered the room with some news. "I updated the simulators to include the sol Thero units from the data we have." He announced. To prepare for the jump he quickly left the room.
Seeing the positions taken Donna and Milou took the stance. "Am I able to find a room later?" She asked. "I need to make battle plans for the OZ forces and I need somewhere to concentrate."
Tano raised an eyebrow but decided to answer. "At the barracks F-4 should be vacant." He gave his reply. "It isn't a meeting room but if you need it it's your call."

The OZ forces shuttle were also docked in Coalition battleships. With Donna with the other Gundam pilots Stuart was in charge of managing them. "So Till forgot about our ground defence that he sent most of the OZ forces here." He thought as he looked at the view of Earth from a starboard's window. "He's clearly lost his mind now." He gave a salute to the Coalition captain of the ship. "Our commanding officer for the battle is in the flagship." He explained.
