On the After Colony Date of December 24th, 205 A.C., the liberation of the captured homeworld of Earth has begun. Trillions of soldiers of the Galactic Alliance have begun their move to penetrate the ExoShield and attack the bases of the Crongus Entente. Their task however, was not easy. An entire attack force consisting of up to 20 fleets from the Galactic Alliance prepare to attack the weak points of the ExoShield and get as many soldiers and mecha to the ground as much as possible and hopefully get a Capitol Ship into the atmosphere for a base of operations. The Crongus Entente barely had enough time to mobilize their forces, but soon they were able to halt any more Galactic Alliance Forces to reach the surface of the Earth. Many soldiers died upon that day.

"I'm being tailed by enemy fighters! I need reinforcements! I repeat, I need reinforce- RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!"

"All plasma cannons target enemy Destroyer and fire!"

"I'm launching missile now- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!"

"I'm fighting off an Invid Mecha! Get that drop ship into that atmosphere right- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"

"We have multiple contacts! Repeat, we have multiple contacts! All fighter's scramble! Repeat, all fighters scramble-"

"Everyone to the escape pods! That is an order! Everyone to the escape-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

"We have hull breeches in levels 8, 14, 12, 2, 9, 5 upon starboard side! All security personnel head for those areas!"

"I got a lock! What the- AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"

"The Blitzkrieg is down! Repeat, the Blitzkrieg is down!!"

"Allah! Save me! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"

"Somebody get those Bio-Fighters! I don't care if we don't have the personnel, just get them out of my sky!"

"All weapon systems, fire when ready!"

"Holy shit, that thing's going kamikaze- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!"

"Holy shit! I'm out of missiles! What the- Oh shi-"

"I have target lock but I need reinforcements! I repeat, I need reinforcements!"

"All available soldiers get into available drop ships! I repeat, all available soldiers get into any available drop ships!"

"Okay now people, were going to do a drop! This ship ran out of drop ships so we're going to the surface the way they did it back in WWII! Now everyone get an atmosphere reentry pack and prepare to jump!"

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!"

"Eat this you Crongus Bastards!!!"

"Everyone, escort the drop ships! We need them to reach the surface!!"

"There's too many of them! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!"

Within one of the many hangar bays of the Kamikaze, Heero Yuy and his 27th Kamikaze Attack Wing, the Black Falcons, were getting ready to launch and escort another drop ship group from the Kamikaze. Even the Gundam pilots were volunteering to go into the mission and the Gundams were refitted to have UCE weaponry and circuitry.

"Oh shit...........maybe it was a bad idea after all...." Duo said, looking outside to the battle with only an energy barrier between him and the blood filled vacuum of space.

"Well it's too late now Duo, besides they need all the help they can get!" Hilde fussed over Duo, as she pulled him towards the Deathscythe Hell. "Besides, you're a Gundam pilot! You're suppose to be the strongest force in the universe!"

"Yah, until they came...." Each Gundam pilot was given UCE standard Mecha Flight suit. The flight suit looks like spandex with some small tubes to house neuron wires to the wrist computer and clock, G-fields and life support. They were also given an Energy Blade, Energy Pulse Handgun, and an emergency space pack in case of an emergency. The mission was simple; escort the drop ships until they've reached the "Burning Zone" of the atmosphere and guard their decent until the drop ships were safely into the "Sky Zone" in which they return for the next drop.

"I just hope that this campaign doesn't go wrong..-"

"Hey! Don't jinx it Quatre!" Duo interrupted Quatre as they got into their Gundams. "We're too deep into this to have anything backfire on us!" Wufei looked around the hangar and then outside to the battlefield.

"Today is a good day to die.." Wufei stated as he placed the space helmet atop of his head.

"No offense Wu-man, but everyday is a bad day to die in this war!" Duo entered the cockpit of the Deathscythe Hell and turned on all the systems of the Gundam.

"Well the only easy day is yesterday Duo." Trowa was doing final checks to the Gundam. Heero was entering the Wing Zero II when Relena walked up to him, Jean by her side.

"Please come back Heero....I..I don't know what I would do without you..."

"Don't worry Relena, I'll return for you." And he gently kissed Relena and patted Jean on her head before he entered the Wing Zero II. The Wing Zero II stepped upon the electromagnetic catapult design for non-transformable mecha.

"This is Lieutenant Heero Yuy in the Wing Zero II, call sign Dark Angel, launching." The Wing Zero II flew into the battle zone like the angel of death coming for its next soul. Heero circled around and awaited his squadron. Yamaha Akira then stepped into the catapult design for transformable mecha.

"This is Yamaha Akira, call sign Shogun Leader, launching!" After he had launch, Gerald was next to be launched.

"This is Gerald Jefferson, call sign Shadow Fox, launching!"

"This is Michael Wilson, call sign Reverend, launching!"

"This is Karen Merchant, call sign Firebird, launching!"

"This is Michelle Yamoto, call sign Rose's Thorns, launching!"

"This is Agustus Manger, call sign Excalibur, launching!"

"This is Janet Joshua, call sign Green Hornet, launching!" Soon it was the Gundam Pilot's turn to launch. First up was Duo Maxwell. He already had an interesting call sign.

"This is Duo Maxwell in the Deathscythe Hell, call sign Shinigami, launch!" Next was Trowa, he never actually thought of a call sign, though he'll have to make one up quick.

"This is Trowa Barton in the Heavyarms Kai, call sign Silent Killer, launch." After Trowa, there was Quatre.

"This is Quatre Rababa Winner in the Sandrock Kai, call sigh...um.....Arabian Knight, launch- AAAAAAA!!!!!!" Quatre was unprepared for the sudden acceleration of the electromagnetic catapult. Though he was trained to handle any G-forces, he never felt this kind of force pressed upon him. Last was Wufei to be launched.

"This is Chang Wufei of the Nataku, call sigh Dragon's Justice, launch!" The squadron then spots the drop ship group launching from the capitol ship. They maneuvered into a formation that protects them and the drop ship group from an attack from any angle.

Then from seemingly out of nowhere, an attack wing of Crongus Bio-Fighters appeared behind them and began firing at the escort group. This attack wing was too much for the 27th to handle as each unit tried to protect the drop ship group, and themselves.

"Oh great.....Reverend! Shogun Leader! Take fifteen units with you and protect the drop ship group! The rest of you follow me and pick a target!"

"Yes sir!" the 27th called out over the com system. Each Verimorphtech Fighter targeted any Bio-Fighters within their target area and range and fired missiles at the enemy Attack Wing. Using the confusion of the missile barrage, the 27th Attack Wing accelerated towards the enemy and engaged in a dog fight between the two attack wings. Fireballs were seen as a direct result of the attack.

"Reverend, how are the drop ships?"

"They're entering the Burn Zone Now. E.T.A. to Sky Zone is approximately 7 minutes."

"Okay, everyone you heard him. Give cover fire to the drop ships until they enter Sky Zone. They'll be able to handle themselves from then."

"Right." The 27th aimed their weaponry near the drop ships and use sniper optics to target any enemy fighter craft that could try and destroy the drop ships.

"Sir! Invid Space Troopers spotted! Quadinants are 13 degrees X, Negative 74 degrees Y and are at least 1500 meters from the drop ships!"

"Everyone, set your targeting computers to those quardinents! Fire at will!" Heero warmed up the Twin Buster Rifle for about a few seconds before firing the beam discharge at the Invid Space Troopers. The rest of the 27th also targeted the Invid Space Troopers, along with Trowa and the Heavyarms which was equipped with reentry missiles. The other Gundam Pilots are adjusting to the new rifle pods and weaponry.

"I'm not sure about this Glass Rifle Duo...-"

"Less talking, more shooting Quatre!" Duo was firing Reentry rockets from the Bazooka. Quatre just adjusted the rather large Glass Rifle, took aim and fired. The Magnetic Rifling of the Glass Rifle helps accelerate the depleted uranium tipped bullets into impossible speeds beyond the speed of sound. The Bullets rocket out of the Glass Rifle and in point seconds, hit their target within the Invid Shock Trooper. The bullet was powerful enough to rip through the armor of the Invid Shock Trooper and the shot was lucky enough to hit the Protoculture Generators, resulting in the destruction of the Invid Shock Trooper.

"Heero! We have sixteen Tl'am Robotron Fighters 178 degrees behind us!" Wufei called out as he used the Dragon Fangs upon the closest Robotrons.

"Green Hornet! Shadow Fox! Take six units with you and keep those Robotrons off our backs! Everyone else keep cover for the drop ships!" Green Hornet and Shadow Fox took six units each to the Tl'am Robotron Fighters. The Robotron Fighters are tripod assault robots that can fight both on the ground and in aerospace combat. The Robotron is comprised of a small dome-like body, forward tentacle graplers , a propulsion unit and insect-like tripod legs and eyes. On the underside of the Robotron Body are two hardpoints for a variety of weapons. The most common weapon for the Robotrons are Electron Cannons. But these can be replaced by a pulsar cannon, a Robotron assault claw, Particle Pulse Cannon, Particle Beam Cannon, or a multiple-Plasma rapid-fire cannon. The 27th knows that the Robotron's most deadly weapon are its tentacle so they avoid any unnecessary close range combat and so use raged weaponry to take out the Robotron Fighters. Though the Robotron Fighters are remotely controlled by their Mothership and have a limited AI, the Tl'am computer could do so much in so much time. The 27th used the tactic of using a decoy to distract a Robotron while another gets behind it and shoot at it while its attention was somewhere else.

"This is Green Hornet to Dark Angel! Robotron Fighters are out of commission!"

"Good, the drop ships are now in Sky Zone! Everyone back to base!"

"Right!" the 27th returns to the Kamikaze to reload and fuel and rearm their mecha, but they will be assigned to another mission.

Heero was the first to land upon the hangar bay. There he sees Admiral Takagora Akira awaiting them. Heero goes on the wench and elevates to the floor just as the rest of the Gundam Pilots and the 27th were just landing.

"Yes Admiral?" Heero salutes to the superior officer.

"At ease marine." The 27th soon approaches the Admiral. "There's going to be a sudden change in plans people, you are a all going planet side."

"Planet side? You mean Earth?"

"I thought only the Troopers are going there? Not us Verimorphtech Pilots."

"Don't we need special training for this?"

"Ugh, why would I want to go to a planet?"

"Marines Attention!" The 27th quickly silent themselves. "You were saying Admiral Takagora?"

"Yes well we are running low on Troopers for the invasion and we need all the help we can get until we do get the civilian populous to help us fight against the Crongus Entente. You're squadron is one of those who will accompany the main forces on the ground. I have authorized your squadron to act on their own once they are planet-side, but I suggest not rubbing the ground commander the wrong way. And also, only the Gundams will be sent to Earth, everyone else will either fight on foot or use the assault bikes and power armor. You will report to the Ground Transport and Mobile Base Raiden on drop deck one-O-five at twelve hundred hours. There the Raiden will join up with the Colonial Navy that is going to be dropped over the Pacific Ocean. So suit up, get ready and say your good-byes to any loved ones on the ship. God speed to you all."

"Yes sir!" Admiral Takagora leaves the hangar bay and the 27th goes to their armory lockers to put on the Marine Trooper armor over their flight suits.

"Planet side? As in we're going to Earth?" Duo asked.

"Yes, at least we're not on escort anymore." Wufei says as he attaches his forearm armor.

"Yah, now we're on the front lines. At least we'll be on familiar grounds, well somewhat. So we're leaving in about twenty minutes right?" Duo removes the flight suit vest and puts on the Trooper Breast and Shoulder armor. As Heero finishes puts on the Marine Trooper armor, he sees Relena and Jean across from him. He goes and walks to them.

"Looks like Heero's gong to talk to Relena." Trowa observes as Heero knells down and pats a worried Jean on her head.

"Wonder what they're talking about." Quatre says as he puts on the helmet.

"Same here." Then they see Relena hugging Heero with a happy look on her face. "But by the looks of it, I think Heero just made Relena happy."

"Yah, real happy." Heero then turns towards the 27th.

"Okay everyone, we got ourselves a schedule to keep. Better make your good-byes now or be left behind." Just as he finishes, the 27th scrambled to the vid-phones that were in the hangar bays to say their good-byes to their friends and family.

~*~

Twenty-two minutes later, the 27th were loading up the Gundams onto the Raiden when Milliardo and Noin walks up to them.

"What are you doing here Zechs?" Heero asked.

"We're going with you. I'm not going to stand around here doing nothing while all of you have all the fun."

"Heh, he calls it fun!" Duo walks past Milliardo as he makes sure that the Deathscythe Hell is being loaded onto the Raiden properly.

"So both of you will be bringing the Tallgeese III and the Taurus?"

"Yes well they upgraded my Taurus, they say that it will help the Taurus' performance." Noin said.

"Well you better get a suit on and get on, we're leaving soon." The group goes into the Raiden, into the Trooper Personnel deck and strap themselves into the drop seats. Unknowing to them, a few stowaways' goes into the Raiden's Hangar hold and into the cargo deck. The Raiden is then connected to a GTMB carrier since the Raiden has no propulsion drive of its own for planetary drops. A hydraulic arm grasps onto the carrier and carries it outside to the drop zone area of the hangar bay. A few minutes past till the arm drops the carrier and they fall towards the planet. On the view screen, Heero sees the Naval Carrier ships of the UCE Colonial Navy entering the Atmosphere, each one carrying submersible combat ships of the Colonial Navy ranging from the Naval Carrier to the Naval Flagship. Heero turns off the view screen as he holds onto his drop seat from the rumbling vibrations of planetary reentry. Outside the Raiden, the friction between the atmosphere and the GTMB Carrier's reentry shields intensifies, warming up into flames as the GTMB Carrier continues to fall towards the planet. The turrets of the capital ships protect the dropping GTMB and Naval Carriers from Crongus Entente fire. After a few minutes, the Carriers become bright little points that soon disappear as they enter the Sky Zone of the Earth. They have successfully dropped to the planet Earth. The only obstacle to them now is to safely reach the ground before enemy anti-aircraft fire destroys them.
