The next morning they got word that Djibril was found hiding in ORB.
Jason had the girls wake up.
Zaft had already surround ORB and was about to launch an attack when they got the message.
Murrue was rushing the crews to finish up the repairs.
Erica and Kisaka took Cagalli to a hidden chamber under the base.
Cagalli was trying to use the Skygrasper to fight against the combine forces.
Yuna Roma had gave a speech saying that Djibril was not in ORB and that had set Chairman Durandal off.
He order for the to drag him out of ORB.
Minerva was on route still when the battle started.
In the hidden chamber Cagalli heard her father's word "If a day comes when this door is needed open. I hope this is enough power to protect the people."
Lord Uzumi had this place built a long time ago and even had a mobile suit built.
The door open to reveal a golden mobile suit.
It was the Akatsuki.
Cagalli agree to pilot it into the battle and lead the Murasame into the fight against the combine forces.
ORB forces was being push back.
Yuna Roma could not lead them.
It took him awhile before he even gave any orders.
Cagalli show up and was contacting ORB HQ.
Yuna Roma said it was Cagalli this time.
Cagalli over comms "With the power I hold as Chief Representative. I order the soldiers around to arrest Yuna Roma Seiran for treason."
The soldiers knock him down and handcuff him.
Cagalli started giving orders to help rebuild the lines.
The Minerva show up at this time.
Shinn had launched in the Destiny.
He went after the gold mobile suit since it was more than likely the one in charge.
They trade blows a few times.
The Akatsuki even reflected the beams it shot at it.
Jason was flying in fast. Lacus was with him and Aisha was in the other suit descending to Earth.
Jason was in the Strike Freedom while Aisha was piloting the Infinite Justice.
Lacus was enjoying her spot in the suit on Jason lap.
Jason shot a blast destroying the gun the Destiny was using to fire at Cagalli.
Aisha went to help push the other troops back.
A space pod was drop shortly after them.
It contain three DOM Trooper.
The leader of this group was Hilda Harken.
She had two team members under her.
They had all serve Siegel Clyne.
So now they would support his daughter.
They started attacking the combine forces.
The flag ship that was leading that attack got destroyed when the Archangel showed up and went under water to dodge the Minerva.
The Minerva became the flag ship.
A shuttle was launch from the backside of the main island.
Cagalli had landed at HQ to get Yuna Roma to tell them where Djibril was.
When the shuttle launched.
Heine had took off after it in the Impulse but did not hit it with any of the shots fired.
Rey was fighting against Aisha.
Shinn was fighting against Jason.
Jason was making quick work of the Destiny.
He had took an arm and damage the wings on the back of it.
The legend was not in much better shape it had lost a foot and arm.
Captain Gladys order to retreat since it look like it would not do that any good to keep pushing.
They would lost too many and she believe that Djibril was on the shuttle that launched into space.
The combine forces retreated while Talia pass the message on to the Chairman.
He agree with her even tho he wanted ORB destroyed right now it was a losing battle.
The all retreated back to Carpentaria.
That night Cagalli gave a broadcast about how Zaft openly attack them.
It was interrupted by Meer as she played the role of Chairman's Lacus talking about how ORB had hide Djibril there.
How the PLANTs had wanted to be friends with the ORB but since they hid a criminal.
They would not see them as that anymore and become hostile.
Lacus got tired of listening to it and went and stood beside Cagalli and interduce herself as the real Lacus and that she would stand beside ORB.
