With Seth
Seth found himself in a strange place that had no gravity, but machines were moving and a speaker was saying something.]
"Preparing [Stargazer] for launch. I repeat, Preparing [Stargazer] for launch." Seth turned around and saw a massive white mecha behind him and it had a word engraved on it.
"Gundam?" Just then the chest of large white Mecha opened up and it was empty. An explosion shook the entire structure Seth was in and he fell into the cockpit. The door of the cockpit closed and the machine began to turn on. On the main screen, the machine's operating system appeared.

They spelled out [G.U.N.D.A.M]. Blaze and Flame quickly went to work on figuring out what this machine was and what was going on. Now Seth could feel that the machine was being moved.
Meanwhile.
In the Command Room of the Deep Space Survey and Development Organization or the DSSD, several crew members couldn't believe their luck. Today was supposed to be [Stargazer] launch date. [Stargazer] was a mobile suit that was not made for combat, its purposes was to explore the universe. Because of this it was equipped with a hyper advance AI so it could operate effectively without the aid of humans as it explored the deep unknowns of space. Currently in the world, a war was being conducted by the Earth Alliance and the space colonies ZAFT. The people of ZAFT were called coordinators. They were genetically better than normal humans, and were better pilots. They also did not live on earth, but rather they lived in a group of colonies called the plants. As expected many people have a hatred towards coordinators and vise versa.
Currently the Earth Alliance's secret Phantom Pain unit had launch an attack on the DSSD station in hopes to capture [Stargazer] and its advance AI. Phantom pain was a secret unit that uses biologically enhanced humans that they train and modified from a very young age. DSSD were left with no other choice than to fight back.
"Now launching [Stargazer]." A woman said, but just then [Stargazer]'s real pilots appeared in the command room.
"Stop the launch!" Selena yelled, but it was too late. [Stargazer] was already outside of the station.
Inside of [Stargazer].
Seth suddenly felt a massive amount of G-Force being put on his body as [Stargazer] launched into the vacuum of space. Seth saw several machines that were just as large as the one he was currently in. Seth had no clue that they were called [Slaughter Dagger] units. The [Slaughter Dagger] units now closed in on Seth and [Stargazer]. They fired several anti-mobile suit missiles at them. Seth by pure luck was able to move out of the missiles way, but now the [Slaughter Dagger] units were getting closer.
Seth was in real trouble. He had literally no clue on how to pilot this machine. An I.S. would give a user some form of information on how to pilot it when they touched it. An Evangelion was controlled via a mental connection, but this machine needed training in order to use it effectively. Seth suddenly thought of something. He wondered if Blaze and Flame could somehow implant the information on how to operate this machine like an I.S. does. Seth didn't know this, but Blaze and Flame already were hard at work to gather the information. It helped that [Stargazer]'s AI was helping them.
"Seth this is going to hurt a little." Blaze said before Seth felt a massive headache, but it soon faded and now it was Seth's turn to fight back. The [Slaughter Daggers] now fired a barrage from their Beam Rifles. Seth turned on [Stargazer]'s Voiture Lumiere (Solar Sail) system. The large ring structure on [Stargazer]'s back now let out a curtain of light particles. The curtain of light capture the incoming beams and absorbed them.
While the [Slaughter Dagger] pilots were distracted, Seth shot them with [Stargazer]'s only weapon. A beam pistol. The pistol's range was terrible, but it could fire rapidly and was powerful. It only took one shot to destroy an enemy mobile suit. Seth continued to destroy any [Slaughter Dagger] units that got in his way. He didn't know who were the good guys, or who were the bad guys, but right now, they were shooting at Seth and that was good enough for him to start opening fire.
Soon Seth encountered a new type of machine. It was black in color like the [Slaughter Daggers], but its appearance was much different. Its name was [Strike Noir]. It looked more humanoid and the pilot inside of the machine was good. Seth fired several shots from [Stargazer]'s beam pistol, but [Strike Noir] avoided all of them. Seth decided to use a nearby structure to try and lose this guy. Seth could tell that [Stargazer] was far more agile, but even when Seth made sharp turns that tested out the limits of [Stargazer], the [Strike Noir] would used its rocket anchors and be right on Seth's tail.
Now Seth was being pushed to the end of his ropes, [Stargazer] only had about five minutes of energy left and [Strike Noir] was right behind him. The boy in the Gundam slipped up and left himself wide open. The pilot of [Strike Noir] now unleashed a barrage of beam shots of Noir's shorty Beam rifles. Seth thought he was done for, but [Stargazer]'s Voiture Lumiere system captured the incoming beams and now unleashed a blinding light. The pilot of [Strike Noir] was forced to close his eyes from the light and when he regained his sight, he saw that [Stargazer] now had several green rings of energy orbiting around the unit. Seth was wondering what these rings of light were, but then a image appeared on one of the side monitors. It was showing a diagram of mobile suit and of [Stargazer]. The rings orbiting the diagram of [Stargazer] were being launched and cutting the other mobile suit. Seth finally understood what [Stargazer] was telling him.
[Strike Noir] and its pilot found now avoiding several green beam cutters at were getting closer with each shot. Seth saw that he had about a minute of energy left. He now made sure his last few shots hit their target. He aimed for the thrusters and limbs of the enemy mobile suit. It worked. Seth was able to disable [Strike Noir] without killing the pilot, but as luck would have it, [Stargazer] started to accelerate extremely fast. The DSSD were left with no choice then to use their satellite power beam, Apollon A. It was powerful and worked in destroying a large number of Phantom Pain's ships and mobile suits. However, [Stargazer] Voiture Lumiere system also took in some of the beam's energy and flung it, along with Seth, towards Earth.
On Earth.
Recently Kira Yamato, along side with his allies on the [Arcangel] recently carried out a mission to rescue his twin sister, Cagalli Yula Athha, from a force marriage. Cagalli kept saying that she was okay with the marriage if it would be for the good her nation, Orb. Kira and the others could tell that she was lying to herself and kidnapped her at the wedding. Now underwater the members of the [Archangel] were debating their recent actions. All except Cagalli were okay with what they just did. Cagalli said that it would have been best if they didn't rescue her, but Kira thought otherwise. Their debate was cut short as something quickly entered the water in front of the [Archangel].
"What is it?" Kira asked as the monitor was showing nothing but bubbles at the moment. Soon the bubbles cleared and revealed a white mobile suit.
"Ma'am, the mobile suit in front of us is sending out a distress signal." One of the crew members said to Murrue Ramius, the captain of the [Archangel].
"Open a channel to the pilot." Murrue said. The crew member did as the she ordered, and [Stargazer] accepted. Members of the [Archangel] gasped when they saw a young boy who was bleeding from his forehead. Then a message came from the machine.
'Greetings, I am the AI of GSX-401FW Stargazer Gundam. My current pilot was injured upon reentry of Earth's atmosphere and is currently in need of medical assistance. I currently lack the power to move and my life support systems will shut down in five minutes. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.' The message said.
"Kira, get in the [Freedom], quickly!" Murrue said and the ace pilot quickly went to his machine. Soon they retrieved the mysterious machine and this young boy.
Several Days Later.
The ZAFT ship the [Minerva] was forced out of the nation of Orb, due to the country now siding with the Earth Alliance. Many people on board the ship was shocked that the nation that pledged to be neutral would side with the Earth Alliance. Orb was one of the few countries were coordinators and naturals lived in peace, but that has changed.
The [Minerva] also received three new pilots. Currently the captain of the [Minerva] Talia Gladys was currently reading the profiles of the newly arriving pilots. The first pilot's name was Athrun Zala. He was the son of the former PLANT supreme council member, Patrick Zala. Athrun was an incredibly skilled pilot and was appointed as a member of ZAFT's elite unit FAITH (Fast Acting Integrate Tactical Headquarters) by Gilbert Durandal, the chairman of the PLANT supreme council, himself. The second pilot was named Heine Westenfluss. Like Athrun, he too is a member of FAITH. He also has a clear history of being effective on the battlefield. Finally the last person that will joining the Minerva is named Ichika Orimura. His profile was odd in that it had almost no records and that he was only 15 years old, but Gilbert Durandal asked that he be placed on the [Minerva]. Talia didn't question Chairman Durandal decision.
Over the last three days two of the three new pilots showed up. The first to arrive was Athrun in the [Saviour] gundam. He was appointed as commander of the [Minerva]'s mobile suit pilots Rey Za Burrel, Lunamaria Hawke, and Shinn Asuka. Shinn didn't like Athrun, but he respected him and saw him as a rival he wishes to surpass. The other two pilots respected Athrun as he was a member of FAITH. On the third day, Ichika arrived on board the [Minerva]. Unlike Athrun, he didn't arrive in a mobile suit. He would have to use one of the pair [Zaku] units the [Minerva] had.
The truth was that Ichika had hacked into ZAFT network using [F.L.A.R.E.] and put himself as a soldier. Normally he would have done things solo and never bother with this idiotic war, but Flare suggested that he join ZAFT for several reasons. The major was the large access to resources that ZAFT members could get.
Over the next few days Ichika put up a nice guy act to gained the trust of the other members of the [Minerva]. Which worked except on one person. Rey Za Burrel didn't trust him. Ichika was actually enjoying himself on board the [Minerva], even if it was all a lie.
Currently the [Minerva] was in the Indian Ocean. It seemed at today would be another boring day. Ichika was currently inside of his [Zaku]. He was in the mobile suit training simulator. Ichika was on the simulator's hardest difficulty. He beat the simulation setting a new time record. On the bridge of the ship, Captain Gladys was reading Ichika's simulation data and was astonish.
"What is this kid?" Captain Gladys couldn't believe how effectively Ichika was using a [Zaku]. He was pushing the machine beyond its limits. Suddenly an alarm began to rang.
Thirty Minutes Earlier.
Currently aboard a ship, a man with a mask named Neo Roanoke was planning an assault on the [Minerva]. As a leader in the secret unit Phantom Pain, he had a duty to eliminate anyone who was a threat to Logos and the [Minerva] was on the top of their list. Neo got all of the [Windams] from a nearby base and launched them along side his Gundams that were stolen from ZAFT. The three stolen units were called [Chaos], [Abyss], and [Gaia]. They were piloted by Sting Oakley, Auel Neider, and Stella Loussier respectively. They were modified humans called Extended. Like the one Seth fought in space, they were extremely skilled mobile suit pilots, but were incredibly mentally unstable. As such each day they have any memories retaining to emotions erased from their minds. [Chaos] Gundam is able to fly in earth's atmosphere like a plane. [Abyss] Gundam is able to travel underwater. The [Gaia] was able to transform from a Bipedal humanoid mecha to one that reappeared like a quadrupedal animal, which it was faster in the beast form.
Neo Roanoke left Stella and [Gaia] to protect the base as [Gaia] had no flight, nor underwater capabilities. Now he and his [Windam] took off and the two other Gundam pilots followed.
Back On the [Minerva].
Captain Gladys now ordered her mobile suits to deploy and engage the attacking enemies. Shinn Asuka was the first to head out.
"Shinn Asuka, Core Splendor, Taking off!" Shinn said as he launched from the [Minerva]. The core splendor was followed by two other flyer units. The three machines now linked up and formed the [Impulse] Gundam. As with most Gundams it is equipped with Phase shift armor that protect it from projectile fire.
"Athrun Zala, [Saviour], Heading Out." Athrun said as he launched. The [Saviour] Gundam had a special ability to transform from a bipedal humanoid mecha into a jet. Now on the [Minerva] launch pad, Ichika appeared.
"Ichika Orimura, [Zaku], I'm heading out!" Ichika said as he launched from the [Minerva]. Ichika's [Zaku] was brown in color and had a single shield on it. He launched with the [Zaku]'s EX-M Blaze Wizard package which allowed him to fly in earth's atmosphere.
The [Abyss] was detected underwater. Captain Gladys ordered that Rey and Lunamaria engage the [Abyss] underwater with their [Zaku] units.
"Rey Za Burrel, [Zaku], heading out!"
"Lunamaria Hawke, [Zaku], taking off!" Lunamaria and Rey took off and entered the water.
Now Athrun, Shinn, and Ichika were engaging the [Windams] and the [Chaos]. Athrun was disabling the [Windams] without killing the pilots. Shinn was just blasting away killing the enemy mobile suits. Ichika was taking down just as many mobile suits as Shinn was, but he was using a machine with significantly less abilities.
Luna and Rey fought the [Abyss] underwater, but they were at a technical disadvantage. The [Abyss] was made for underwater combat. They were able to force the [Abyss] back, but not before the Gundam and it's pilot could destroy a nearby ZAFT submarine.
In the end they were able to push back Phantom Pain and destroy a nearby Earth Alliance base. Captain Gladys was impressed by Ichika's performance on the battlefield and now was seen as a upcoming Ace in ZAFT.
The crew of the [Minerva] decided to hold a celebration in light of their victory. Ichika didn't want to take part of any of this nonsense, but Lunamaria and her little sister Meyrin dragged him to the party.
""Three cheers for Athrun, Shinn, and Ichika!"" The crew of the [Minerva] said as they popped streamers. Ichika was starting to enjoy acting like a human. It felt good to him.
A Few Days Later.
Seth woke up after being knocked out for nearly a week. He turned his head to the right and saw a pink hair girl next to him.
"Hello there, are you feeling okay?" The girl asked very nicely.
"I'm fine." Seth said. He got up and saw that he was in some sort of military medical ward.
"Are you hungry?" The pink hair girl asked. Seth's stomach began to grumble at that moment. He started to blush and the girl laughed at his actions.
"Here, eat." The pink hair girl had a tray of food in her hands. Seth hesitated to accept the food.
"It's not poisoned, look." The pink hair girl took a bite from the food show that it was safe to eat. Seth accepted the tray and began to eat.
"I do believe I should introduce myself. My name is Lacus Clyne would you mind telling me your name?" Lacus asked.
"It's Seth. Seth Fairs."
"I see, Seth what is the last thing you can remember?" Lacus asked. Seth thought for a few seconds and remembered him inside of [Stargazer] then falling to earth. The seatbelt of [Stargazer] snapped and Seth hit his head on the control panel. He suddenly wondered why Blaze or Flame weren't talking to him. He was worried that the mental connection was cut again and that he was on his own.
"Um Lacus, where am I?"
"You're aboard the [Archangel]."
"The what?"
"Seth, you're awake." Blaze said as she spoke with Seth.
"Blaze, where are we?" Blaze now told Seth about the current situation. He learned about the Earth Alliance, ZAFT, Orb, mobile suit, and their newest team member [Stargazer]. Seth was surprised that [Stargazer] was equipped with Nanomachines that could repair the machine and in theory upgrade itself. That was where Flame was. Over the last few days Blaze and Flame were both aiding [Stargazer] in being converted into a battle mobile suit. When their upgrades were finished, [Stargazer] would be fueled by Blaze's S2 organ or Flame's Marker. Also several weapon upgrades were in the plans, but those would need a real mobile suit facility. Seth asked Lacus if he could meet with the captain of the ship. Soon he was brought to Captain Ramius.
"You wished to speak with me?"
"Yes. I wanted to say thank you for saving me and [Stargazer]. I also wanted to know if you have a need for an Engineer. I've got basic knowledge, but I am a fast learner." Seth said.
"Wait, are you asking for a job?" Captain Ramius asked.
"To be blunt, yes." Captain Ramius thought about it for a few seconds. She didn't like the idea of using a child in battle, but he was asking to be part of the mobile suit repair team, not a pilot. She saw no harm in letting him stay aboard the [Archangel]. They needed as much help as they could get.
A Few Days Later.
Ichika aboard the [Minerva] was about to take part in an operation near the Suez canal. Basically the Earth Alliance set up a positron cannon battery near a town and with it they are halting ZAFT forces from advancing. As such the [Minerva] was tasked with destroying the battery. Shinn Asuka would use the core splendor to travel through a tunnel system and destroy the cannon while the other attacking force would distract the enemy mobile suit.
Ichika was currently in his [Zaku] waiting for the order to launch to be given. Shinn was the first to launch, then Captain Gladys ordered all of her pilots to take off. On the battle Ichika's [Zaku] was equipped with the EX-K Slash Wizard, which added two large gatling guns onto the [Zaku]'s back and gave Ichika a large Beam Axe as a melee weapon. Basically it was a Close Quarters Combat package.
Ichika was currently slaughtering a large number of [Dagger] mobile suit. These machines didn't stand a chance against the [Zaku]'s gatling guns. Ichika began to break the formation and went ahead of the group.
"Ichika, what are you doing? Don't break the formation." Athrun order Ichika to move back into the formation, but he ignored it and continued to move forward.
Ichika destroyed any enemy mobile suit that was dumb enough to try and get in his way. One of the enemy [Dagger] units tried to engage Ichika in close quarters combat. It brought out its beam saber and slashed at Ichika. The black hair boy kicked the [Dagger] back before the mobile suit could damage the [Zaku]. Ichika used his Beam Axe to slashed the right arm of the [Dagger] unit and disarmed it. He grabbed the [Dagger] unit and turned it around so he was looking at the back.
Ichika punched his arm through the thruster on the back. He now advance forward while using the captured enemy as a shield. The enemy mobile suits hesitated to fire at Ichika while he was using the human shield, and Ichika took full advantage of this opportunity. He started to destroy the enemy units as he advanced. Both sides were shocked that a single [Zaku] was able to cause so much destruction.
As Ichika had gained the attention of almost every enemy mobile suit, Shinn had broken through the small cave cavern and destroyed the positron battery.
Normally Captain Gladys would have had Ichika punished for breaking formation and doing something that so reckless, but he destroyed over 33 enemy units and most likely the mission wouldn't have been so successful without him. In the end she decided to let him off with a warning.
A few days later.
The [Minerva] was graced by the presence of the Chairman of the Plants. He congratulated the [Minerva] in its recent success and personally congratulated Ichika in his recent battle. In only three sorties Ichika had destroyed over 87 enemy mobile suits. He also delivered the third pilot that was going to join the [Minerva]. Heine was a member of FAITH and had a custom [GOUF], which was orange in color, that he would use in battle. The Chairman revealed to the [Minerva] that ZAFT was fighting a war with a secret organization called logos. Logos was a group that made a profit from war and ZAFT was going to make sure that they stopped this organization.
On the [Archangel].
"Kira, could you hand me that wrench?" Seth asked as he was currently helping Kira Yamato maintain the [Freedom].
"Here." Kira said as he tossed Seth a wrench. Over the last few days Seth had became good friends with members of the [Archangel]. He also started training intensely in [Stargazer] to master the mech. He was improving drastically. Currently Seth outfitted [Stargazer] with two beam sabers that were hidden in the forearms. Seth discovered that the ring on [Stargazer]'s back could split in half and be used as a regular thruster. He also learned that [Stargazer] was capable of moving underwater and in earth's atmosphere. Seth also upgraded [Stargazer]'s beam pistol so that it was stronger and can shoot farther. Blaze and Flame were helping [Stargazer]'s AI learn. Most AI are like a small child. They learn through experience and the more they experience, the faster they learn.
A while later Seth was in the bridge of the [Archangel] along with the others. They learned that Orb, who was now part of the Earth Alliance, were sending troops to the Black Sea in hopes to destroy the nearby ZAFT forces. These forces would be led by Yuna, the man who Cagalli was forced to marry, before Kira's intervention. Cagalli asked if they could intervene and stop the battle. She couldn't sit back and let her people take part in a war that isn't theirs. The crew of the [Archangel] supported Cagalli's idea and headed towards the Black Sea.
Two Days Later.
Currently the [Minerva] was approaching a fleet of Earth Alliance naval ships. They had to engaged the Earth alliance forces when the [Minerva]'s radar detected that they launched their mobile suits.
"Shinn Asuka, Core Splendor, Taking off!"
"Athrun Zala, [Saviour], Heading Out." The [Minerva didn't know how many mobile suits the Earth Alliance would have, so they only sent out Shinn and Athrun.
While the mobile suits were engaging each other, the [Minerva] was in its own battle against the enemy ships. Captain Gladys was getting tired from this nonsense fight and told the crew to use the [Minerva]'s most powerful weapon. The QZX-1 [Tannhäuser] or a massive positron cannon. The front of the [Minerva] opened up and the QZX-1 [Tannhäuser] was charging up. Yuna of Orb saw that he and his ship was in the line of fire. The real captain of the ship ordered the crew to move the ship out of the way, but they said they weren't gonna make it in time. Yuna started to cry in fear for his life, but luckily for him the [Tannhäuser] before it could fire was hit by a green beam. Now everyone turned their head to the source of the beam and many were shocked at what they saw.
"The [Freedom], Kira." Athrun said as he saw his old friend's Gundam.
The [Minerva] was forced to perform an emergency water landing as the beam that Kira fired exploded the [Tannhäuser]. Just behind the [Freedom], the [Archangel] could be seen. Now two more mobile suits launched from the [Archangel]. The first one was pink and bares a white lion with a flower in its mouth. It was called [Strike Rouge] and piloted by Cagalli. The second machine was one that many had not seen before. Seth had launched as well, even though Captain Ramius disagreed. Seth promised that he wouldn't engage in combat unless needed. She allowed Seth to launch as long as he was careful.
"I am the Orb union's chief representative, Cagalli Yula Athha!" Cagalli said as she began to use the [Strike Rouge]'s speakers. Everyone was shocked to hear her voice and that she was in a mobile suit.
"Orb forces, stop fighting at once! Pull your troops out! I may have been gone from Orb recently, but that does not change the fact that I am the Chief representative! I hereby order you that the Orb Union must respect the ideals of the nation, stop fighting immediately and withdraw their troops!" Many people were touched by Cagalli's words and wanted to stop fighting, but one man had other plans. Neo called Yuna and demanded an explanation. If he gave the wrong answer then thing would be bad for him and his nation. Under the pressure Yuna cracked.
"I have no clue who this person is!" Yuna said. He wouldn't accept the fact that the person inside of the [Strike Rouge] was Cagalli. The Orb forces now fired missiles at the [Strike Rouge]. No could have expected that Orb would have open fire on its own princess.
Kira saw the missiles come, he activated the [Freedom]'s targeting system and fired on all of the missiles. Not a single one made it to Cagalli.
"Orb, what are you doing?!" Orb ignored Cagalli and continued with the battle at hand. Pleased with the answer Neo now launched his Gundams to the battlefield. The Earth Alliance sent out more [Windam] units and Orb sent out their [Murasame] units.
"Meyrin, Send out our mobile suits." Captain Gladys said as she knew they had no choice, but to fight back.
"Ichika Orimura, [Zaku], taking off." Ichika said as he launched from the [Minerva]. He was equipped with the [Zaku]'s Blaze wizard package and took to the sky. He along with the other pilots of the [Minerva] were beginning their assault. They detected the three stolen Gundams, [Chaos], [Abyss], and [Gaia]. Ichika and Heine were having a small contest. They were seeing who could destroy the most mobile suits. Currently Heine was winning in the contest, but soon he found himself fighting the [Gaia]. Even with a much less powerful machine he was forcing the [Gaia] back.
"How can a [Zaku] move like this?" Stella, the pilot of the [Gaia], wonder as she was being pushed backed.
"This isn't a [Zaku]!" Heine yelled as he used the [Gouf] slayer heat whip to wrap around the [Gaia]'s beam rifle. Stella knew she had to cut her losses and threw the gun away. The beam rifle exploded and Stella brought out a beam saber. She slashed at the [Gouf], but Heine easily dodge it.
The [Impulse] was currently engaging the [Abyss]. The [Abyss] would swim rapidly in the water, then pop out and fire a few beam. It repeated this process over and over again. The [Saviour] was fighting the [Chaos] in the air. Ichika in his [Zaku] was destroying anything in his path. Luna and Rey in their [Zaku] units were protecting the [Minerva] from incoming fire. Cagalli tried again and again to get the Orb forces to stop, but they weren't listening. Now a [Murasame] mobile suit came up and fired at Cagalli. Seth in [Stargazer] got between the [Murasame] and the [Strike Rouge]. He activated [Stargazer]'s Voiture Lumiere system. The large ring on [Stargazer]'s back linked together and the ring captured the incoming beam. Seth shot the [Murasame] disabling it while leaving the pilot alive. He knew Cagalli wouldn't like it if he started to kill the members of Orb and personally Seth didn't like to spill blood if it was avoidable.
"Cagalli, it's not working." Kira said to his sister.
"Cagalli, head back to the [Archangel]." Seth said as he knew the only way to stop this battle would be to disarm the enemy.
Kira entered [Seed Mode] and began to disable any mobile suit he saw. It was amazing to say the least to see Kira literally take out so many mobile suits, by himself. Seth wasn't sitting back and watching. He activated [Stargazer]'s rings and unleashed their fury. The rings of energy Seth fired disabled eight enemy mobile suits. Seth started to use [Stargazer]'s beam pistol and blasted away. The last thing Seth suspected was a [Zaku] coming up and grabbing the head of [Stargazer].
Ichika had a strange feeling when he stared at the white Gundam. He charged at it without thinking. As he was crushing the skull with all of the [Zaku]'s power, he brought out its Beam Tomahawk and swung it down. Before the beam tomahawk could hit [Stargazer], Seth deployed one of the hidden forearm beam sabers and cut off the swinging arm. Seth grabbed the arm of the [Zaku] with [Stargazer]'s free arm and crushed the [Zaku]'s arm easily. Ichika was shocked that his [Zaku] was so easily broken. Seth now deployed the other hidden beam saber and disabled the [Zaku].
Seth was now attacked by an orange [Gouf], but he easily overpowered the mobile suit, knocking it back. The orange [Gouf] recovered mid-flight and tried again to attack [Stargazer], but the [Gaia] charged at the [Gouf] from behind. It deployed the beam blades on its back. The blades slashed right through the center of the [Gouf] killing Heine.
"HEINE!" Athrun yelled as he watched his recently made friend die before his eyes. Seth saw the orange machine explode and felt guilty. It was because of him that the pilot of that mobile suit died, he thought.
"Kira, Seth, return to the [Archangel]." Captain Ramius said, bring Seth out of his thoughts. He along with Kira returned to the [Archangel] as the Orb forces started to retreat. Seth knew that had a long journey ahead of him and that he needed to get better in [Stargazer].
'I wonder why Pilot Fairs, is expressing anger?' Stargazer thought as he wanted to learn more about his pilot. He remembers that he was originally meant for deep space exploration, but now he only wished to help out his pilot. He started to wonder what desire meant as he had a desire to fulfill Seth's wishes.
