Frame 14: E.I.E. Driver
~Helios II-Space~
The mobile armor jetted out into space, approaching the effective zone where the enemy forces had gathered as a last means to acquire what they had lost. The Gigak pilots switched from monitor view to telescopic view, seeing an approaching mobile armor unlike anything they have encountered via this sector of the solar system. The Rebirth began transforming right in front of them when the middle part of the unit rotated and two outer sides converted inward. This made the torso lock into place when the legs and arms folded over and out. The shield mounted on its chest was removed by the gundam’s left hand. As Rikka mentioned, the gundam’s body was white with certain areas such as the shoulder armor and leg thrusters painted blue with turquoise eyes in the exact same place as a human’s.
The Rebirth Gundam unlocked the hidden compartment within the shield and took out a beam rifle.
“Target acquired!” said Haro #1. A single red beam of energy shot through the barrel and directly penetrated straight through the chest armor of a Gigak, striking the core engine resulting in an explosion on an atomic scale. The remaining Gigaks fired back with their beam sprits, causing Zax to rotate both the left and right levers, forcing the Rebirth Gundam to maneuver around the incoming beams. It was able to dodge, until the Gigak began moving around, forcing Zax to use the Rebirth Gundam’s shield in order to deflect the beams. Zax was familiar with their beam sprits, specifically built for close range depending on your distance the beam’s penetrating damage stood weak against shields. Zax applied more weight to the pedals, giving the Rebirth Gundam an extra boost on its thrusters when he saw an opening and fired another shot, destroying the left leg of a Gigak.
The remaining Gigaks tried to surround him, but the Rebirth Gundam fired another shot, taking out a second Gigak. Instantly an alarm started to go off inside the cockpit.
“Bastard!” Zax shouted when a Zankou model rammed the Rebirth Gundam.
“Hey you dere. You’re going to pay for what you did to Carter,” said Uday.
“Watch it Uday, something about this here Mobile Suit doesn’t sit well with me,” informed Terr. From what Zax had gathered earlier, the Zankou surpassed that of a Gigak with additional armor and built specifically for space and gravity combat. Zankous were built to be very bulky and compact, but they were outfitted with enough thrusters to maneuver and fly at top speeds that could rival mobile armors.
Uday’s Zankou came at him with a beam-hawk drawn. The Rebirth Gundam backed away from the slashing and countered with two precision shots. It dodged the first shot, but the second beam did make contact with the lower skirt of the mobile suit, but damage was minimum. Not only were these mobile suits agile despite their massive frames, but its performance seem to greatly surpass common Gigaks that Zax has faced in the past.

“I’m suddenly picking up an two unknown enemy mobile suit,” panicked Rikka.
“He should be okay. Until otherwise, I’ll refrain from support,” Falyn said.
“How can you be so sure?” Rikka questioned.
“You’re not the only one with a Xel’tool. Preparing for departure. Estrial✭heading out!” relayed Falyn.
~Helios II-Space~
Zax had enough data on them to know what he was up against. His
Xel’tool rested in-between him and his haro.
“Haro #1 set!” Zax issued the command. Promptly his haro’s eyes lit up in multicolored lights and instantly flipped back, essentially opening its “mouth” which caused the Xel’tool to release a holographic 360 display. This card-like display went around the pilot of images of every previous gundams before the creation of the Rebirth. One by one, each blueprint image began moving counter clockwise until Zax selected the one he felt would work for him in this situation. The selected image went inside the mouth of the haro and began building a 3-D blueprint image in which Zax proceeded with the command sequence,
“Launch!” Immediately Haro #1 mouth closed shut. In the center of the Rebirth Gundam’s chest armor is a chest plate that swiftly unsealed, revealing an internal power output called the Emission Internal Emitter Driver or E.I.E. Driver for short. This started releasing light blue Bion Particles that spread and traveled like vines and encased the Rebirth Gundam in a light blue particle cloud. Within the partial cloud, nano-bits began bonding with the Rebirth, remolding the unit to fit the frame of the gundam unit’s blueprint scanned before. Within seconds, the Bion Particles withdrew back inside the E.I.E. before sealing back up.
“Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ!” announced Haro #1.
“ZZ Gundam Rebirth! Lets make it count,” Zax said with excitement.

“WHOAAAH! Is…did…what just happened? Rebirth Gundam looks like the ZZ Gundam that fought in the First Neo Zeon War back in BSE. 6-88,” Rikka confirmed, drooling over a machine you only read about in text, but to actually see it was like seeing a piece of history in front of you.
