Chapter 5

At unknown area of space, the SDF-4 and a massive fleet engaged in battle with a Zentraedi Armada. Within the bridge of the SDF-4 Crusader, the Admiral Rick Hunter and Secretary General Lisa "Hayes" Hunter are calling out orders to the fleet. Then a massive explosion rocked the bridge.
"Great, not only are we out numbered and out gunned, but we are unable to call reinforcements." Then Rick Hunter then notices a glimmer of light from the corner of his eye and turned his head towards the light.
"Sir, we have defold at 14 Degrees X, 45 Degrees Y and 100 Degrees Z at a distance of three kilometers." A Scanner Officer Reported. The REF armada then increased their velocity towards the Zentraedi Armada and then launched their Veritech Fighters. Leading the way was the Admiral and Heero Yuy.
"Please sir, what you are doing will endanger your life." Number One called over the radio.
"Please Number One let me do this, this is the first time I've ever been able to actually fight upon the battlefield of my birth. Do not rob me of this chance." The Admiral then switched the transmission frequency of his modified VAF-9. "Attention all units, when you are at range, fire your main cannons and beam cannons at your own free will. I repeat fire at will!" The Armada then fired all heavy weapons upon the Zentraedi fleet and ripped many warships apart. The Admiral and Heero then sighted the bridge of the SDF-4. They halted their course, turned towards the bridge, stood in attention and saluted. The occupants of the bridge could only salute back as the two machines increased their velocity towards the Zentraedi Armada. Beam Sabers were ignited and Beam Cannons were fired as entire wings of Zentraedi mecha and spacecraft were wiped out and heavily damaging the warships. Wing Zero fired its Twin Buster Rife at the Zentraedi Flagship and completely destroying it. The forces of the SDF-4 could only watch in awe as this unknown REF fleet were making minced meat out of the Zentraedi Armada. Then they joined in the fight and soon the remaining Zentraedi fleet folded away in defeat.
Heero couldn't believe that he missed this detail on the other Veritechs, they all had Gundam Head Stylings, each one different to signify rank. His wing had landed upon the main hangar bay to celebrate their first battle in the REF universe, though Heero didn't agree with his brother promoting him to being Wing Commander. As the Admiral stepped out of his VAF-9 Custom, he then spies a Preventer Shuttle in his hangar bay. Unsure and angry, he marched towards the nearest officer.
"May I ask why that shuttle was doing in my hangar?" The Admiral growled, not sure if the thorn in his side had followed him.
"Sir, the Attila reported that this shuttle followed us in the fold and the occupants wish to speak to you personally."
"DAM IT!!" The Admiral scowled, knowing that a certain annoyance was on his Super Dimensional Battle Fortress. "Where are they?"
"They are held custody outside the hangar bay. We are unloading their cargo for inspection."
"No, return their cargo back on to the shuttle, place them back into the shuttle with force if necessary and attach the fold booster to the shuttle."
"Sir, is that wise?"
"They do not belong here, they belong in their own world. You may tell them that." Then another officer walked up to him and whispered something in his ear. "What? The Secretary General AND the Admiral?"
Inside his private office, the Admiral was standing in front of his viewing screen and gave a salute to the Secretary General and her husband, the Admiral.
"Madam Secretary General Hunter and Admiral Hunter Sir, I am honored by your transmission." The Admiral said.
"We would like to thank you for helping us defeat the Zentraedi. They were attacking an alien Stellar Government several AU's from our present location. May I ask what your name is Admiral?" The Secretary General Hunter said, thanking him.
"I'm sorry, but I lived without a name, only a rank." It was the Admiral's only reply.
"You have a formidable force here Admiral. Tell me, where did you obtain such of force of REF starships and vehicles?"
"My subordinates helped me build and redesign each and everyone of them from their universe. I would have left sooner if the Invid hadn't invaded that universe for some reason. Also several members of the REF have accidentally folded and crashed onto the parallel Earth of my subordinates' dimension." He reported.
"Will any of them be able to represent that dimension Admiral?" Admiral Hunter asked.
"I'm sorry, could you please rephrase the question?"
"Is there anyone aboard your armada that could represent your subordinates' home dimension?"
"Well none of my subordinates are not qualified for representation, but there is someone but they hitchhiked one of my ships during the fold. I was planning on sending them back with a fold booster-"
"I don't think that will be necessary Admiral. We would like to see these representatives of your subordinates' dimension and make friendly relations with them. Perhaps exchange technology with them. We will arrive to greet them in about half an hour from the end of this transmission aboard your flagship. Over and out." Then the screen went blank and the Admiral just stood there. Standing at attention and shaking with anger for several moments before he let out a warrior's cry of pain and betrayal. As he yelled, sparks of his own energy flew out from his body to signify his frustration. The guards outside could hear their Admiral's furry, knowing the fact that it was unwise to frustrate, or even anger the Admiral.
In the detention level of the Agamemnon, the occupants of the Preventer Shuttle; Miliardo, Lucrezia, Sally, Wufei, Duo, Hilde, and Relena, were held in a detention cell and watched carefully by Guards in VR-122 Protector Cyclones. The detention level was unnaturally quiet until a REF ensign came into the area.
"Did you guys hear? The Secretary General and the Admiral of the New Earth Government are coming aboard in twenty minutes."
"Who would that be?" One of the REF Military Police in the VR-122 asked.
"Well from what I've heard, they are Lisa "Hayes" Hunter and Rick Hunter." The guards looked amazed and shocked.
"What? Lisa and Rick Hunter? You mean the two First Robotech War and Sentinel War Heroes that the Admiral was telling us about?" The ensign nodded her head.
"They are coming to see them." The ensign pointed her finger at the occupants of the detention cell.
"What them? Why do they want to see those Earth Sphere Nationalists for?" The second REF Millitary Police asked.
"They wanted them to represent the Earth Sphere Unified Nation for some reason." Relena observes the actions of these REF soldiers. She gains an idea and so she stood up and walked towards the front of the cell.
"May I ask what is so wonderful about your Admiral?"
"What are you blubbering about?"
"What makes this man so special that you are willing to do everything that he asks you to do?" The Guards stared at her before answering her question.
"He took a bullet for us." The occupants were surprised and shocked from what they said. "First time we met the Admiral too, though he ranked himself Private at the time. A while ago we were all gathered at a bar, well most of us, when two of your Preventer friends of yours then showed up. Didn't know what their names were but they pointing their guns at us and then the Admiral walks up between us and those Preventers. He said that 'It was dishonorable for a soldier to take advantage of the weaken soldier without proper provocation.' Then one of those Preventers aimed and fired at one of us, but he took the bullet. Him, a complete stranger, saved the life of one of my comrades. He even fought with them with the bullet still inside of him. We followed him because he's the kind of leader that was willing to risk his life for his own men. That was a debt that no one could pay in a lifetime alone." Then Relena's feeling toward the Admiral changed as the guard continued his story. "He didn't want us to join up with him in the first place, saying that he didn't need anyone's assistance but we insisted that we did and soon other former OZ, White Fang and Marimeia soldier enlisted in the Admiral's REF fleet. He was a real leader in our point of view. He wasn't spoiled, corrupted or selfish or anything like that. The Admiral's always saying that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few and he almost sacrificed his life in almost every mission for us. A leader that was willing to sacrifice himself for others is a true leader." He then turned away. "But I don't expect any of you Preventers or Pacifists would ever understand that." Relena, shaken by his words, returned to her spot in the detention cell and unsure of what to think at that point in time.
