Phase 03: Collapsing Homeland

On Archangel the crew stops the single Ginn. The Ginn fires at Archangel and Archangel dodges. Then Raww's Ginn flies toward Kira. Raww's Ginn fires at Kira's Strike Gundam, Strike knees down to block the bullets from hitting his friends. The bullets hit Strike, but did no harm. Natarle tells them to prepare the stern missiles. She tells Paru to shoot the Ginn and try not to hit the colony shaft above. Paru fires the missiles. Raww shoots 2 down and dodges the other one. The missile hits the shaft above breaking the large cable wire. Strike then pulls out the cannon and targets Raww. Marrues tries to tell him to stop, but Kira fires. The powerful cannon hits Raww's Ginn arm and burns it into ashes, but it was to strong and the left of the beam hit the colony's wall and made a big hole. Making a escape for Raww, Raww flies away and thinks about Earth possessing that much firepower. The crew on Archangel located that the Ginn is retreating. Natarle orders the ship to land. On Vesalius, Athrun inside the Gundam he just stole, Aegis, and is programming it. He then thinks about Kira and their meeting on Helopolis, but then he accidentally taps into Miguel's computer. He apologizes, but Miguel tells him it's alright and hes done with his work. He asks himself how they could operate with this OS. Later a message came up that Raww's Ginn is damaged and coming home. They couldn't believe what happened. Athrun doubts that Kira did it.

Strikes lands on Archangels dock and Murrue is greeted with the crew on Archangel. Natarle thanks them that they are safe. Marrue thanks them for the good work on Archangel. Then the cockpit opens and they see Kira coming out of it. Murdock then asks that, “He just saved us, isn't he just a kid?” Kira then is greeted with his friends. Natarle asks Marrue who that is. Then Mwu comes in saying that it's a great surprise. Mwu introduces himself and Natarle and Marrue in return. Mwu asks that if he could land on Archangel and asks who the captain is. Natarle tells him that the captain and officers were killed in battle and requested that Marrue should be captain because she is higher rank. Mwu asks permission from Marrue and she grants it. Then Mwu asks who Kira is. Marrue answers that he is a civilian and the events with him earlier. Then she tells him his name is Kira. She then tells him that they were saved by him. Mwu then her where are the G-pilots. Natarle answers that they were with the captain so they were killed. Mwu walks toward Kira and so does everyone else. Mwu asks Kira that if he is a coordinator. Kira answers that he is. The guards then shifted to their guns and Tolle stands in front of Kira.

On Vesalius, Raww, Miguel, Athrun, Ades, and a few others are in a meeting. They see the footage of what Miguel captured on Strike. Raww tells them that he would be the laughing stock because he was defeated by an Earth mobile suit. Raww tells them how the OS system is and how he couldn't understand how a Natural could handle so well, but Athrun knows that Kira is a coordinator. Raww tells them they can't leave something like it alone. He tells them that if they can't capture it then they will destroy it along with Archangel. Ades then orders Miguel and Aurol to launch and authorizes them with the D-equipment. Athrun asks Raww that he would like to launch too, but Raww answers that he doesn't have a Ginn and he just stole the Gundam. Ades tells Athrun to stay out of it.

On Archangel Tolle asks what they are doing. He tells them that even if Kira's a coordinator he isn't the enemy. Marrue tells the guards to put down the guns. Natarle asks her what she is doing. She then tells her that it's a surprise because some coordinators come to Orb to avoid the war. She asks Kira if she is right. Kira then answers that he is a 1st generation coordinator. Mwu then replies that then his parents must be Naturals. Mwu apologizes for the big fuss. He then tells them he saw G-pilot's training, but most of them are doing difficult. Mwu walks away; Marrue asks where he is going. Mwu replies that he's going to look at his damanged ship. He tells them that Raww's ship is outside and that he's very annoying.

On Vesalius, Yzak, Nical, and Dreaka are in a room analyzing the Ginns getting their D-equipment. Yzak wonders if they are going to storm a fort. Nical answers that if they are then Helopolis is going to be destroyed. Yzak then tells them it’s their fault for calling them selves neutral. Nical hesitates.

On Archangel they workers are getting supplies from Helopolis. In a room Kira sleeps in his bed. Kazui tells them that it’s amazing that he is sleeping in this situation. Milly answers that he is tired because of the hard things on him. Kazui answers that things may be hard for him, but if it was hard for him to pilot the Gundam. He tells them that Kira rewrote the OS. He then asks that when did he do it. He tells them that Kira wouldn’t know anything at that time. He asks again when he rewrote the OS. He then tells that he knew that Kira was an coordinator and says that people with their genes modify, that would be hard for them. He then asks if Earth could win against people like coordinators. On the deck Marrue tells them the message she got, that the shelters are at level 9, so it’s completely locked. Mwu asks what they are going to do with the kids. Natarle tells him that Marrue says that they have seen the top secret so that’s why Marrue is taking care of them. Mwu then tells that there is going to be another war. Natarle then asks the captain to pilot the Gundam. Mwu then tells him that even he, an ordinary person couldn’t handle it.

In space 2 Ginns launches out of Vesalius. Then Athrun in his Aegis he stoled moves out into the opening hatch. The workers didn’t hear that he was supposed to launch. Ades then over hears that Athrun launches. Ades orders him to come back, but Raww stops him. He says that it would be interesting to watch a battle between 2 Earth mobile suits.

On the deck of Archangel Chandra reports that there is electromagnet interference. Mwu tells that they are going make them fight inside the colony. Outside the room Marrue asks Kira to pilot the Gundam again, but Kira answers no. He tells her that they are neutral. Then a message came out of a computer. Mwu tells Marrue to take charge and that Mwu can’t order them. Marrue asks about his mobile armor. Mwu says that it is useless, so Marrue tells him to control the Combat Intelligence Center. Marrue tells them that if they can escape from Helopolis then they will, but Kira interrupts and tells her that the only mobile suit there is, is the one he that could handle. Archangel then launches. Marrue tells them that not damaging Helopolis is the main priority. Tonomura tells himself that it’s imposible. On the dock pad, they are suppling Strike with weapons. In the deck they detected 2 Ginn with heavy armory. Then an explosion blew up the wall of Helopolis. A Ginn comes out, but they also detected Aegis. Everyone is in shock. Marrue then orders the Strike to launch. Archangel’s main cannons open up and fires at the mobile suits. They dodge it. Inside Archangel Tolle finds a camera that shows the battle going on. He tells the rest to see it. In the sky Strike pulls out his sword. Miguel meets with again to fight another battle. Miguel fires at Strike, but he dodges it. The beam rifle hits the cable wire and it crashes into to ground. Miguel fires again, but it hits a apartment instead of Strike. Kira tells himself that he can’t hit the colony and asks himself what he should do. Miguel fires at Strike, but its shield deflects it. Kira charges at him, but Miguel dodges. Far away Athrun watches the battle. The other 2 Ginns are in heavy combat with Archangel. A Ginn fires missiles at Archangel, but it dodges. A missile then hits a bunker. Meanwhile in the shelter the alarm has raised up to level 10. The battle between Miguel and Strike continues. Miguel tells Athrun to get around. Kira recognizes the Gundam. Then Miguel fires at Strike, but it dodges. Kira then flies at Miguel and cuts him in half. The Ginn explodes with Miguel and Athrun cries out his name. Archangel then shoots down a Ginn. The shot also damaged shaft. In the other Ginn, the pilot cries out Aurol. Kira and Athrun meet each other. Athrun cries out Kira. Kira then hears his voice replies Athrun’s name. The Ginn then fires the missiles, but Archangel shoots the Ginn. The remaining missiles fly and blow up the shaft. In the sky Kira and Athrun are looking at each other while objects continue to fall down. Athrun asks why he is piloting the Gundam. Kira asks the same thing. The colony then begins to break apart. Houses and buildings fall into ruin. The shelter then activates Dismissal mode and all the escape pods launch out of Helopolis. On Vesalius, Ades calls for Raww, but Raww is in silence. The colony gravity’s begins to change and pulls out Archangel and Strike out into space. Athrun cries out Kira’s name.
