The Minerva was repair and back on track to get to Gibraltar when a message came across telling to head to Berlin to help defeat a giant mobile armor that had showed up and was destroying cities.
It had already destroyed three and heading towards Berlin.
The Archangel was already fighting it and the Earth Alliance that had came to support it.
Jason and Shinn was the only ones that could go out.
Kira was attacking it in the Freedom.
Kira had defeated a purple Windam that was leader of the group while Jason had destroyed the Chaos.
Shinn was attacking the Destroy which was the name of the giant mobile armor when it transform into a mobile suit.
He was dodging.
Jason had got hit with a beam and was taken out of commission.
His Saviour had suffer a lot of damage in the last battle.
Jason return the the Minerva and Shinn had slash by the cockpit and was able to seen inside of it.
Shinn seen that it was Stella piloting the Destroy.
He tried to get the Freedom to back off but while it was distracted the Freedom came up behind Shinn and attack the hitting it just above the cockpit.
The Destroy went down.
Shinn hurried out of the Impulse and went to get Stella out of the Destroy.
She was fading fast and barely gave him a smile before she past.
Shinn took her off in the Impulse and laid her in a lake just north of the Berlin.
The next day Archangel was under attack from Zaft forces.
It was making a run and not fighting back.
Kira had launched in the Freedom to protect it and take down some of the suits that was pursuing them.
The Minerva was order to follow up and finish it off.
When it got close the only machine the Minerva had left that was not damage was Shinn's Impulse.
He launch and started attacking the Freedom.
Captain Gladys gave the Archangel a final warning before it engage in battle.
Murrue gave a response saying they would not surrender and wish for them to let them go.
The other captains of the ships that was chancing the Archangel started back up in attacking it.
The Minerva was firing there guns and missiles.
The Archangel was taking having damage.
The Archangel had made it to the water and was trying to submerge when the Minerva activated it Tannhauser to finish it off. Shinn had corner the Freedom.
The Archangel had took a hit from the Tannhauser but due to it being underwater the attack was not as strong.
Murrue decide to denote one of the engines to fool Zaft and think that they sink the ship.
Shinn finally landed a critical hit on the Freedom sending it into the water where it blew up shortly after.
Kira had been hurt but still manage to separate the cockpit from the rest of the suit before the explosion happen.
Athrun was watching all this come about but could not believe Kira had been defeated.
When Shinn got back to the ship everyone was congratulating him when Athrun came up and slap him since Kira did not need to die and that the Archangel was not even fighting back.
They was not the enemy.
Rey "They was an enemy of Zaft Athrun. These are you own feeling not the orders from the nation."
Athrun could not retort him.
Athrun just storm back off to his room while Rey pulled Shinn to theirs.
Jason had jump in between them to keep them from fighting.
Luna was in a arm sleeve and bandage up since she was still hurt from the battle at Crete.
The other Zaft ships was going to search the area to make sure it was destroyed.
The Minerva was order to go to Gibraltar to wait further orders there.
The Archangel was heavily damage.
It was still afloat for the moment.
Cagalli went out in the Strike Rouge to get the cockpit of the Freedom.
Kira was took to the medical bay.
Murrue decide to go to ORB and it would take them a lot of time but if they played their cards right and avoided battle it would take them about a week to get them.
The mechanics did what they could from inside the ship to get some repairs done but with them losing a engine their speed was slow.
The Minerva would reach Gibraltar in three days.
During these days Chairman Durandal gave a speech about how to end the war was to destroy a shadow group called LOGOS which was responsible for creating groups like Blue Cosmos and others that wish to put seeds of doubt in people and keep them fighting each other.
The citizens took up arms and force a lot of the LOGOS members out in the open and killed them or took them in custody.
A few of them escape to Heaven's Base which was the Earth Alliance headquarters on Earth.
