Jongin entered the room where General Junmyeon was seated at his desk, he saluted to him before speaking.

"As you instructed I leaked the fake information that all of OZ's top officers will be gathering at New Edwards through our military channels."

"You and I will be there, at least. So it isn't totally false information."

"Are you using yourself as a bait, sir?"

Junmyeon smirked, "I guess you could say that."

——————————

"Du Qing Zhu is gone again!" The Chief of Medical Staff yelled as he made his way over to Hyang Ki.

Hyang Ki turned to face him, "Yes, he said he'd be back soon."

"What!? Do you know I have every reason to fire him?"

Hyank Ki smiled, "But he's too good to lose, right?"

The man let out a frustrated breath, "Shit! We have a lot to talk about when he gets back!"

——————————

"I can't believe Chanyeol took off without us!" An irritated pirate yelled as he started searching the tents once more just to make sure Chanyeol really was gone.

"He's probably going after that kid."

The pirate stopped moving to let out a sigh, "You're right. He better not get killed."

"He's pulled stuff like this before, he'll be fine."

They looked at each other and smiled, "So let's enjoy ourselves while he's gone."

——————————

Kyungsoo was busy making arrangements while his Exo Suit was in the process of being loaded onto the hold of a ship for transport to the New Edwards area. He paused once he noticed another mobile suit transport truck pulling up to the dock for loading onto the same ship. As the truck came closer, Kyungsoo recognized the driver of the vehicle.

On the hold of the ship, Chanyeol jumped down from the cab of his truck and Kyungsoo walked over to meet with him.

Chanyeol smiled at him, "Hey, we meet again! I guess we're on the same mission."

Kyungsoo nodded, "Should we work together?"

Chanyeol gave Kyungsoo an enthusiastic thumbs up, "Of course!"

Two OZ soldiers sat casually together in a small surveillance room, looking at their phones in boredom. Suddenly they heard a large explosion and the alarms in the military airbase started going off. They rushed out of the room towards the flight hangar containing a large transport plane to investigate the explosion.

"Enemy attack!"

They quickly looked around the hangar for signs of any intruders, but suddenly fell to the ground unconscious. Sehun was revealed standing behind them, his arm still raised from knocking out the soldiers.

In the cockpit of the transport plane, Sehun flipped the status control levers one at a time. The first two clicked green, but the third clicked red. Sehun's expression hardened and he reached for his pistol, cocking it before he walked off to investigate. He opened the door that lead into the compartment, his pistol pointed out in front of himself, but paused once he spotted Baekhyun's Exo Suit settling into position in the bay. Sehun pointed his pistol at the cockpit of the mobile suit, being extra cautious in case it wasn't Baekhyun who came out.

"Hi Wu!" Baekhyun smiled, completely unaffected by the gun being pointed at him.

Sehun lowered his weapon, "Byun..."

Baekhyun lowered to the ground via a cable attached to his suit, "That's right. We don't want to mess up this mission, do we? We should work together."

"Do whatever you want."

Sehun turned to leave, running back in the direction he came from. Baekhyun smiled as he watched him.

"...He used my real name."

The transport plane pulled out from the hangar and gained flight as Sehun held onto the controls. Baekhyun was sitting next to him, smiling to himself.

"Do you know the importance of this mission?"

"Of course I do. This is going to be our best opportunity to destroy OZ once and for all." Baekhyun answered with a determined look on his face.

Sehun glanced over at him and noticed his expression. He was pleased to know Baekhyun was being serious about this.

"So, do you mind if we talk?" Baekhyun smiled as he curled up one of his legs to rest on the edge of his seat.

Sehun remained silent and Baekhyun giggled a little to himself, he was expecting that response.

"What do you like doing in you free time? You know, when you're not doing missions and stuff."

"I don't have anything I like doing."

"Nothing? No hobbies at all?"

"No."

Baekhyun stared at Sehun with a sympathetic expression, "...He really just sits around and waits for his next mission? That's so...sad."

——————————

At the New Edwards Base, pacifist leaders gathered for a conference. General Junmyeon and Colonel Jongin were among the attendees.

"We have to stop the bloodshed now."

"If only we could do it alone. What about the recent incidents? The attacks made by those mysterious Mobile Suits made from Exordium alloy? The Earth is being threatened by those invaders with superior weapons. OZ has engaged in battle with them. What do you think about it?" Septem, a pacifist under OZ, questioned the assembly, looking over at General Junmyeon in particular.

"We believe that they are acts of sabotage committed by the space colonists." Junmyeon answered.

Noventa, the pacifist leader heading the discussion, stood behind a podium at the front, "It is only natural that the colonies would have a strong mistrust towards Earth. That is why we need to do something as soon as possible."

"I couldn't agree more. Let's start a new chapter of human civilization with peaceful talks." Septem added.

"It's not only with the colonies that we need to start talks with. We also need to start talks with ourselves." Noventa replied.

"But, what about those Mobile Suits?" Septem questioned.

"If they learn that our intentions are towards peace, they will lose their objectives. We will open talks. And that way, the path we have overlooked can be discovered again."

The attendees stood to applaud Noventa's words, and Junmyeon leaned over to talk quietly with Jongin.

"History seems to be making a wrong turn."

Jongin smirked, "Shall we?"

"No, let's wait until the final actors arrive."

The applaud calmed down as Noventa continued, "Then I would like to move our discussion to the actual agenda for a peaceful negotiation. First..."

The alarm on the base suddenly started sounding. The large video monitor directly behind Noventa turned on, and an officer addressed him directly as he broadcasted an image of Sehun and Baekhyun's Exo Suits approaching the base.

"Sir! An enemy attack! The base is under an enemy attack!"

Sehun and Baekhyun faced a line of Leo mobile suits defending the base as they arrived. Baekhyun was surprised by the amount of them.

"Defenses are really heavy!"

Sehun paused, "This is ten times more than what I expected."

Baekhyun nodded, "Be careful, this is going to be tough."

They began fighting, and the destruction of the mobile suits was broadcast to the assembly floor on the large video monitor. The attendees were in a panic as they watched, they began speaking in overlapping voices.

"There must be something we can do!"

"I can't believe this!"

"We've got to do something!"

Junmyeon smiled to himself as he watched them and leaned over to speak to Jongin once more.

"Colonel, the curtain has risen. Let's get our plan started, too."

Noventa cried out to the officer as he continued watching the screen, "Tell them to stop fighting! We're seeking peace!"

The reporting officer broke through the broadcast again to speak with Noventa, "That's impossible! They're on a massive attack. We can't afford to stop fighting back or we'll be utterly destroyed."

The conference attendees began to speak amongst themselves again, and Junmyeon took the opportunity to approach Noventa directly, walking up to the podium and speaking with him.

"Marshal, we need to evacuate at once."

"But..."

"If you still want to seek peace with them, that's fine; but you shouldn't put yourself in danger."

"You're right, there's no point in getting killed, not if we're to promote peace negotiations."

"Then, please use our high-speed shuttle. It's always on standby for immediate take off."

"I'm surprised to hear your kind offer."

"Marshal, we are all still Earthlings."

"You're right. I accept your offer."

Junmyeon and Noventa left the room together, and the other attendees began to file out of the room, directed by officers standing at the doorway. Outside of the door, Junmyeon halted Septem, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"General Septem, please come this way."

"Why? Isn't the shuttle this way?"

"It would probably be a good idea to disperse the leaders into two planes, just in case. My private shuttle is at hanger F-7. It is a small one, but it's a state of the art model."

"Is that right? Then, I'll follow your recommendation."

Junmyeon smiled, "This way..."

Junmyeon walked off in a different direction from the rest of the delegates and attendees, and Septem followed him.

—————————

Baekhyun and Sehun struggled to deal with the amount of mobile suits firing on them.

"They just keep coming!" Baekhyun yelled.

Both their proximity alarms suddenly sounded and they checked their monitors to see two new mobile suits firing missiles at the Leo suits. Together, they began shooting down the remaining forces.

"I have no time to persuade you to surrender today." Kyungsoo spoke coldly as he fired on them.

Sehun and Baekhyun held back, watching the new mobile suits cautiously.

"They're just like us!" Baekhyun smiled, recognizing the model of the suits.

"More Exo Suits?" Sehun curiously wondered.

Sehun and Baekhyun eventually joined back into the fighting, and it didn't take long for the four of them to defeat the defending forces. Once they were eliminated, the four Exo Suits faced each other.

"Those mobile suits are just like ours." Chanyeol smiled.

"Exactly the same." Kyungsoo responded.

Suddenly an image of Baekhyun appeared on their screens, he was smiling happily at them, "Hello, are you guys also Exo Pilots?"

Kyungsoo nodded, "Yes."

"Great, looks like we have some more comrades." Chanyeol continued smiling as he gave Baekhyun a thumbs up.

Baekhyun gave them a thumbs up as well, "Good to hear."

—————————

"What's wrong?! Why haven't we left yet?" Septem nervously asked.

"We're waiting for Marshal Noventa's shuttle to take off. We'll leave right after them." Junmyeon responded, a smirk playing on his lips.

As Noventa's shuttle launched, Sehun's proximity alarm went off. He went to check the shuttle, and realized it matched the one from his mission specs. Sehun launched from the airfield and converted into flight mode to quickly catch up with Noventa's shuttle.

Unknowing of Sehun's approach, the delegates were seated inside the shuttle discussing the outcome of the meeting.

"It's an unfortunate coincidence. But I won't let it obstruct our peace proposal."

One of the officers spotted Sehun's Exo Suit coming towards them from the view of the window.

"M-M-Marshal!"

Noventa turned around in time to see Sehun convert back into a mobile suit and draw his beam sword. Noventa's eyes widened in horror.

"Don't do it!"

Sehun sliced through the fuselage of the aircraft, and it exploded.

"Mission: complete."

Septem witnessed the destruction of Noventa's shuttle on a video screen inside Junmyeon's private transport jet.

"What did he do!? My God, Marshal Noventa!"

Amid the smoke and confusion, Junmyeon's private jet took off without notice. Junmyeon smiled as he looked out his window, watching as Sehun landed back amongst his comrades.

As Sehun landed, Kyungsoo suddenly got a message on his screen. Kyungsoo's face became very upset as he read it. He quickly opened his cockpit to step out and speak to the other pilots.

"We've all been lured right into OZ's trap!"

Baekhyun looked at Kyungsoo curiously, "What do you mean?"

"Check out OZ's report! We just wiped out the pacifists."

Sehun's eyes widened momentarily before he quickly brought up a video screen on one of his view monitors to watch the current news. Septem was broadcasting from Junmyeon's private jet.

"This is considered the Colony Rebels declaration of war on us! Today, we were here to discuss peaceful negotiations. And the man who was so eager to uphold that noble cause is no longer with us. He was among the victims on board the shuttle, brutally killed by the heartless colony invaders! I repeat! This is an act of war!"

Sehun's hands were shaking as they hovered over his controls, "What have I...What have I done?"

—————————

The broadcast ended, and Septem lowered his head and slumped in his chair in front of a video camera.

"Very nicely done, General Septem. We won't be needing you any further." Jongin smirked.

"What...?"

A trap door suddenly opened in the floor of the plane, and Septem was ejected, chair and all. Jongin drew a gun and took aim at Septem as he fell through the sky.

"That was a terrific performance. Too bad you have such a small role in this act."

Jongin fired his pistol, his shot took aim through Septem's skull. Junmyeon was seated comfortably nearby as he watched Jongin's act of murder.

"The Second Act has begun."
