Phase 1 False Peace Part1

Cosmic Era 70- Due to the Bloody Valentine tragedy tensions between the Earth and PLANTs escalated to full-blown war. With their superior numbers, no one doubted the Earth Forces would win. However, these early predictions proved to be wrong. Now, 11 months after the initial conflict began, the war raging with no end in sight…

Currently C.E. 71 January 25

"...The refugee camps in South Africa have been suffering from chronic lack of food and aid items, putting the lives of 1, 2 million people at risk." – "We'll now bring you images from the Kaohsiung front where heavy fighting is taking place. According to information just received, the ZAFT forces have approached to within six kilometers of Kaohsiung...".

... Or so the news was playing on a laptop. But here in the space colony of Heliopolis, things were as peaceful as always. Well, it was a neutral colony run by the neutral Orb Union. working in a gazebo. A green robotic bird perched itself onto the laptop where a boy with dark brown hair was compiling data using a notepad as reference. He was dressed in light green pants, and a black shirt with a long white collar and a traditional Japanese feel to it with the separated sleeves and the seem on the right side, and modernized by the buckled red straps linking his sleeves, ordaining his chest, as well as his pants right below his knees. A black choker was around his neck. The mechanic bird cutely tilted its head, uttering a 'tori'.

"Kira!"

The boy lifted his purple eyes to see his friends Tolle Koenig and Miriallia Haw. Tolle had curly brown hair and green eyes. His simple shirt was the same color as his eyes with its sleeved slightly rolled up, under was a blue tee-shirt and he wore plain jeans. Miriallia had short light brown hair that curved outward at the bottom and blue eyes. Her turtle neck, knee length dress was of orange. Her long sleeves were also separated from the dress and showing her shoulders. Her bodice from her chest down was a light yellow and had front tails.

"So that's where you're hanging out! Professor Kato has been looking for you." Said Tolle.

"Again?" Kira sighed asking.

"He asked us to bring you to him immediately. What is it about? Are you helping him out with something again?" Said Miriallia.

"Darn. I'm almost finished with he handed me yesterday and that was some help from Ryuuga." Said Kira.

"Speaking of Ryuuga where is he and Nena?" Said Tolle.

"We have not seen them today. I wonder where they are." Said Miriallia.

"Ryuuga said they have something important to do today." Said Kira.

"Some breaking news?" Said Tolle.

"Yeah, Kaohsiung apparently." Said Kira

The news on Kira's laptop was still playing about Kaohsiung. He enlarged the window to full screen dimensions. Behind the journalist in his bulletproof vest, ZAFT Mobile Suits were devastating the city. "If this was from last week, then Kaohsiung had probably already fallen." said Tolle. "Kaohsiung was pretty close to the homeland." Said Miriallia.

"You shouldn't worry about that. Even though they're close by, we're a neutral entity. There's no chance Orb would become a battlefield." Said Tolle.

"Really? It's okay if that's the case." Said Miriallia.

--Flashback--

On the moon he had befriended a boy with dark blue hair down to his neck and green eyes. He was really kind, smart, reliable, and he hated war. His father had called him back to PLANT, and on an alley bordered by blooming cherry trees, he had come to say his goodbyes and give them parting gift...

"There really won't be a war... between the PLANTs and Earth." He had handed Kira the green bird. "I don't think there's any point in evacuating but... eventually you'll also be coming to PLANT, right, Kira?"

--Flashback End--

Kira finished his work and left with his friends.

Outside the colony, a ship from the Earth Alliance entered the port. The Captain took his hat off and let it float away. "This ship's last mission had been completed without a hitch, thanks to you Lieutenant La Flaga for having safely escorted the ship here.

"No, we're lucky that nothing happened en route." The handsome blonde-haired, blue eyed, 28-year-old mobile armor pilot answered politely with a smile. "Any activity on ZAFT ships in this area?"

They were tracking two, but if they entered the port, they couldn't do anything.

"A neutral nation, right? What a joke."

"But thanks to that, the plan has been able to proceed this far." The captain laughed. "The fact is that Orb is a part of Earth." Then crew members saluted and left. Mu La Flaga asked if they would be alright for the pilots to disembark. "They were the top guns who had been chosen to be the G pilots. There was no problem." the Captain said.

Behind an asteroid, two ZAFT ships were observing the colony. And two sub vehicles had left in direction of the colony. The captain Fredrick Ades of the Nazca-class destroyer Vesalius was troubled. "It would be too late to wait for the answer of the Supreme Council." Ades Said. But the masked Commander Rau le Creuset said "It WOULD be too late, his sixth sense was telling him so. If they let things slip by now, they would eventually have to pay for these actions with their lives... They had to move quickly and seize the Earth Army's new mobile suits before they were transported away from here..."

When Tolle, Milly, and Kira, arrived at the free car rental service, they saw red haired Flay Allster being teased by her two friends. Since she and Miriallia were friends they greeted each other. The girls said "Flay had got a letter from Sai Argyle and wouldn't tell them about it." Kira was shocked. Tolle looked at him and smiled knowingly. Someone coughed behind them, politely attracting their attention. It was a woman with short black hair and black sunglasses. She was accompanied by two men.

"If you aren't getting on, may we go first?"

"Ah, sorry, please do." All the youths stepped back to let them pass. The three boarded a white car and drove away, just as Flay got tired of her friends' teasing. The next empty white car stopped, its four doors opening automatically. They got in and drove away too. Tolle teased Kira Saying "A letter from Sai. How unexpected, Flay Allster. But it sounded like a formidable enemy had appeared before Kira Yamato-kun." Milly laughed as Kira tried to deny the meaning behind his friend's words. They boarded a car too and Kira drove to the Morgenroete Factory where the three of them, and Sai Argyle, and Kuzzey Buskirk worked as robotic engineering students.

"How peaceful it is here..." The young black haired woman took her sunglasses off, revealing her purple eyes. The car was driven by one of her companions who asked what she had meant. "And yet, youths around that age are already being sent to the front lines..."

On the asteroid side of the colony, a group of people landed, five wearing olive green suits and five wearing red suits. Heavy metallic gates opened, revealing a tunnel. The passage was barred with a number of lasers, but they were deactivated. They entered.
