RED & BLUE is the first chapter (second chapter in the Re:Master) of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray.
Summary[]
Following the collapse of the Orb Union space colony Heliopolis, members of the Junk Guild are sent inside to salvage anything of worth. Once within the Morgenröte Facility, they find some unforeseen prizes, two mobiles suits, the MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame and MBF-P03 Gundam Astray Blue Frame. Unfortunately, their luck runs out as they are attacked by the mercenary group, Serpent Tail.
Plot[]
In January, C.E. 71, Junk Guild pilots Lowe Guele, Kisato Yamabuki and Liam Garfield use their Kimera mobile armors to approach the ruins of the space colony Heliopolis. Kisato is worried because the Earth Alliance and ZAFT were fighting there several hours ago, but Liam and Lowe assure her they're fine. Lowe calls his ship the HOME, and a woman known as The Professor tells him he should find a factory nearby. As they explore the ruins of the factory, Lowe spots something and brings the Kimeras over to dig. The result of his dig is a gold-colored arm from a mobile suit. Lowe begins digging wildly and falls into another area where he makes an even bigger discovery: two Gundam Astray mobile suits, Red Frame and Blue Frame. Lowe uses his personal computer 8 to analyze the Blue Frame and finds that it's fully functional. The Professor calls to inform him that a Moebius piloted by a mercenary is approaching him. Kisato wants to escape, but Lowe decides to take the Blue Frame into combat. As he activates Blue Frame, he asks Kisato and Liam to haul away the Red Frame for him. On the HOME, the Professor is held hostage by Serpent Tail mercenary Elijah Kiel, and she tells him her crew already knows about the attacking mercenaries. Lowe fires his beam rifle at the Moebius, but it dodges and fires back at him. He ducks into another corridor and gets out of the Blue Frame to set a trap. When the Moebius approaches, Lowe has 8 fire the Blue Frame's beam rifle. The Moebius is hit, but pilot Gai Murakumo escapes and attacks Lowe. He pulls out a gun and tells Lowe that his mission is to destroy the Astrays and eliminate witnesses. Lowe struggles with him and says he won't give up the suits. Suddenly, Elijah calls Gai and tells him that their employers have betrayed them and are attacking. Gai seizes the Blue Frame and heads out into space to support Elijah. In space, Elijah's GINN is outnumbered by many Moebius units, but Gai arrives and destroys most of them. As he is about to destroy the HOME, Lowe appears with the Red Frame and destroys the last Moebius. He then pulls out his beam sabers and tells Gai he won't touch the HOME. Gai and Elijah come aboard, and Lowe tells Gai he should keep the Blue Frame for himself. Gai accepts and says they may meet once again as enemies.
