((Alright, well it looks like the strike, alot, exept it has a cannon, alot like the busters, but mounted on the shoulder. Ith as a shield, and two beam sabers. As you know they can combine, and become one with his left arm. The cannon is on its right. It has a booster pack, but when Heeo is seeded, it ditchs that and wings come out of its back. I'm gonna look for a pic of the main body, because now that I thnik about it, I don't really want the main body to look like the Strike.)) Heero was in the Peace. This time he'd be in the battle. They couldn't leave any soldiers behind. "They're comeing..." Heero said, seeing a massively large fleet headed their way. "WE CAN STRIKE NOW!" Heero said, waiting for the command. At first, there was silence...

"Canaan Zabaac. Faith. Launching!" He launched out onto the battlefield. A transmission message sounded to all ZAFT soldiers participating in the battle.

"The Natural's barbaric use of a nuclear weapon," Canaan recogized the voice as Ezaria Jule's. "We must not allow even one to fall on us again! Our hearts, which didn't take revenge for the Bloody Valentine with a nuclear weapon, the Natural Bastards have betrayed those once again! Now, we can never forgive them! Go! ZAFT's courageous soldiers! Display that power now! Make them realize...who the new leader of this world is!"

The shots started.
The final battle to decide it all.
The Second Battle of Jachin Due.

((I FOUND IT I FINILLY FOUND IT! Only problem is, it takes FOREVER to load, but if it EVER finishes loading, it should appear and voiala. It looks really sweet for a main chassis.)) Heero launched, and was ready for action. After catapulting into space his arm cannon was covering his right hand. It started fireing a long stream of shells at the enemy. "Heh, thanks to that new modification this baby now has a mortar launcher. True, beam weapons can be more effective, but when trying to breach an enemy ships hull, it breaks right through it. They went flying towards the EAs ships.

Canaan blasted into the thick of the fighting, shooting down cannon fodder left and right.
"Gotta defend PLANT, no matter what," he said to himself. Even if I go down trying. He found himself dodging attacks from the superior numbers of the EA fleet. He also saw Yzak and the Duel Gundam taking out several Moebius units. Canaan knew that he would have to go all out; losing was not an option. He continued shooting his two beam rifles at any enemy who crossed him.

Soon enough, he ran into a familiar trio. Them! Canaan was instantly reminder of their past actions, and went off to engage them.

Heero switched the ammo in the Peace's arm cannon and fired a few shots at some STrike Daggers. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed 3 Gundams, far from SDs. "Who the heck are they?" He said out loud.

Before Canaan could reach his three targets, he was already being swarmed by Strike Daggers.
"Small fry!" he shouted, and took out the Faith's beam boomerangs and whirled them at the opposition, effectively taking out a row of them. He quickly proceeded on to engage the Calamity Gundam.

Laser cannon blazeing, Heero was approaching an Earth Forces warship. "This is Heero Zela, requesting permission to assault Earth Forces war Ship." He said over a ZAFT channel.

((700th post :D))

The Faith exchanged fire with the Calamity Gundam. In the corner of his eye, Canaan saw Yzak in the Duel Gundam fighting the Raider Gundam, and Shiho in her CGUE Deep Arms taking on the Forbidden Gundam. Canaan gave a chuckle. Before the war started, he and Shiho were "good friends." But when the war started, their duties separated them.

He would always see her around, like back at the Academy when he took Heero to see Captain Yuki, but they would never have the time to talk. Imagine his surprise when he heard rumors that she was now with Yzak. It may be why Canaan has recently held a grudge against him. And so now here they were together, in the Second Battle of Jachin Due, fighting the three EA mobile armors. He grinned at the thought.

Heero flew in, double beam saber activated in the Peace's left hand, he assaulted the ship with a few mortar blasts, and flew under the ship, he fired a few shots from down there and lfew up back towards the bridge.

Canaan continued fighting.
"Dammit!" he shouted. These opponents were nothing like he's ever fought before. They weren't the grunt Strike Daggers or Moebius units that were easily dealt with. "Who are these guys?" He questioned.
"These guys are tough!" It was Yzak shouting through the intercom.
"Keep at 'em!" Canaan responded. He saw the Duel fire its rockets at the Raider, but it blocked them all with a twirl of its spiked hammer. They can't be Naturals... Canaan thought to himself.

The Peace's beam saber flew right into the bridge of an Earth Alliance warship, Heero pulled it out and quickly flew away from it as it exploded. "Well that's one down..." He mumbled.

As the Faith was firmly engaged in the fighting, Canaan heard a transmission from Yzak.
"Damn! Those are the...!"
"What?" Canaan replied.
"Nuclear missiles!" Yzak said.
"HUH?" He looked over to the edge of the battlefield and saw them. Tiny cylindrical objects heading towards the PLANTs.
"We gotta take out those missile! DON'T LET THEM HIT THE PLANTS!" Yzak cried out desperately.
"Take them out!" Canaan shouted. He sent a message to all ZAFT units to go after the nukes. He too, charged towards the missiles, before being stopped by the Calamity. As the Faith fired its dual beam rifles, the rear proximity alarm sounded. Before wondering what was coming, he immediated manuevered the Faith to do a backflip to dodge the Raider's spike hammer, firing back at it. But before he was in the clearing, the rear alarms sounded again. He turned around just as the Forbidden took a swipe at him. The Faith managed to dodge in time, but its right beam rifle was caught in the slash. As the rifle exploded, he took out the Faith's right beam saber to parry a second scythe slash, and the two Gundams locked. But it was Forbidden that broke the lock by fiercely kicking the Faith away, blowing it back serveral meters.
"Grr!" Canaan grunted, desperation and frustration in his voice. The druggie trio had effectively cut him and the Faith off from the nuclear missiles.

"NO! It can't end now!" The Peace started rushing towards the nukes. "RRRRRRRARGH!" He screamed blowing the head off a Strike Dagger on his way to the Nukes, he was almost in fireing range, untill he was surrounded by Strike Daggers. "You're not getting in my way!" Heero's eyes transformed, the Peace as well. His beam saber swung around, chopping off the closest group of Strike Daggers around him, but another group came in surrounding him. The Peace's beam cannon fired a continous powerufull laser blast, that destroyed each Strike Dagger around him, he was out of tricks now, as another group swarmed in. So instead of figthing, he used a different Caliber of tricks, the now activated wings of the Peace wrapped around the main body,and it fired off towards the nukes, a few Strike Daggers blew up as the Peace rammed them to get to the nukes. The Peace's wings flew into a glide position as he incresed speed in the dash towards the nukes.

Is this the end? Canaan thought to himself. He grimaced as his saw the three EA mobile suits cut down the ZAFT forces. Behind them, the stream of nukes continued their slow descend towards the PLANTS. He was helpless to stop them.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a lone, familiar Gundam blasting its way towards the nukes.

"Heero?" Canaan said. Just then, a series of intense lights engulfed the battlefield. In an instant, the nukes exploded in a blaze of glory. But they were nowhere nears the PLANTS when they exploded. "What happened?" He said in awe.

Heero was stunned, then he noticed the Freedom and the Justice with their METEORs ((sp?)) blasting away the nukes. "If you want me to fight them, I won't."

As the explosions settled, Canaan, still in momentary shock, saw the two Gundams responsible.
"Justice! ... and Freedom!" he said out loud. It was likely that many other ZAFT soldiers echoed those same words. Just then, he heard a transmission directed to all on the battlefield. A voice Canaan knew all too well.

"Soldiers of the Earth Forces, please cease your attack at once!"

...That voice... Canaan couldn't believe it. ...Lacus Clyne! But all along, he always knew that she would eventually show up. Especially for this battle. The voice continued.

"Are you truly aware of the consequences of what you're about to do? I repeat, soldiers of the Earth Forces, please cease your attack at once!"

He heard the voice like anyone else, Lacus was doing what she always did interrupting the battle "Kira, AThrun, get out of here! Both sides want you dead!"

Canaan looked over to where the transmission was coming from. It was just as he expected; the Eternal, followed by the Archangel and Kusanagi. But he directed his attention to the Freedom and Justice Gundams. They were zipping around, firing away with their METEOR packs. He zoomed his monitor on the Justice. "Athrun..." Then he zoomed in on the Freedom. "And that must be..." He flashed back to the conversation he had with Heero. ...Kira..? He grimaced at the Freedom's sight. Ironically, he was one of the candidates to be chosen as its pilot, to fight alongside Athrun Zala, the pilot of the Justice Gundam. But before he could respond to them, he received an emergency message on his monitor.

/// URGENT WARNING ///
//// PRIORITY 1 ////
EVACUATE ALL UNITS FROM
ZONE OF EMISSION
/// CAUTION ///
G.E.N.E.S.I.S. : ACTIVATED

"No..." he hoped this day would never come. But it did. He looked over to Jachin Due, and a large object emerged from behind.

"Kira, AThrun, listen to me, you have to get out of here!" Yzak was also saying something simaler (sp?) to that. Heero put the Peace's jets at full speed and flew away from what it's target would be. "Why... Now you'll see why I regreted joining ZAFT again, you know I saw the blue prints, and I had hoped when I re-joined this day would never come." As GENESIS fired a beam, and was greatly magnafied by the reflector mirror. The beam kept on going after it was magnified, the blue and red laser destroying Earth War SHips....

Canaan watched in horror as the GENESIS's gamma ray laser ripped through Earth Alliance warships and mobile suits. Anything and everything in its path were engulfed by its intense radiation.

As it dispersed, its path of destruction revealed... nothing. Legions of ships, gone. All Canaan could do was tremble in fear. When he regained his composure, he could only feel a mix of sadness and anger. Then, he heard another tranmission. Like Lacus's, it was directed to all on the battlefield. But this time, it was not the voice of peace. It was the voice of hate. It was none other than the voice of Patrick Zala, the newly elected Chairman of the High Council.

"Couragous soldiers of the ZAFT forces, we can no longer tolerate the aggression of the arrogant Naturals. Once more the PLANTS have come under nuclear attack. This is no longer war, it is a campaign of extermination! We can no longer forgive the Naturals who commit these terrible acts without remorse!"

Canaan listened carefully, as he saw the surviving Earth Alliance forces making their retreat. ZAFT forces were on pursuit.

Heero couldn't stand it, he would have to attack, but it meant giveing up all they've been fighting for. "I can't do this... No... I won't do this!" He said out loud not realizeing. It could be heard on the public channel, so pretty much anyone could hear him. "Oops..." He launched into the battlefield, but he would only blow up warships and STrike Daggers, and before he blew up a war-ship, they could see that they had time to escape.

Canaan didn't hear Heero words. He was too busy listening to Patrick Zala's words or watching angry ZAFT soldiers chasing after the Earth Forces. What he didn't notice was Freedom and Justice intervening to stop the pursuit. Intead of pursuing the EA he opted to return to the Harbinger, the Nazca-class ship he was stationed on. He saw no point in chasing enemies who've lost their will to fight. On his way back, Patrick Zala's speech continued.

"A new future, for the light of creation... is with us! This is a day of history! Marking the advent of a bright new world of Coordinators, the new mankind!" The words sent chills down his spine. After that Canaan heard a chant that echoed over the intercom:

"For ZAFT! For ZAFT! For ZAFT! For ZAFT! For ZAFT! For ZAFT! For ZAFT! ..."

He gave a heavy sigh and said quietly, "For ZAFT..."

Heero let out a mumble as the Peace's booster pack took the Peace right under a war-ship which had a full dock of Strike Daggers. He let a few shots fly out of his cannon, which destroyed the dock. "We don't need to destroy them, all we really need to do is stop them from deploying!"

Canaan docked in the hanger bay and lowered himself out of the Faith, and he was approached by a mechanic.
"Sir, why have you returned so soon? Anything wrong?" the technician asked. Canaan pondered for a moment before answering.
"Nothing's wrong." He looked up at the mildly-damaged Faith. "But be sure to re-arm her."
"Yessir!" The mechanic gave a bow before speeding away to his duties. As he left the hanger, a few more mobile suits docked. He went to his quarters to rest. As he suited back up into his red elite ZAFT uniform, he received a call from Captain Ray Yuki.
