Chapter 1: Creations and Mistakes
After Colony 228
The dawn of the Swarm Wars, the revenge of Jacob Heiliger was in hand. The ravenous creatures made of pure psi-silver now known as the Swarm ravaged the Earth. These creatures in search of metal were now causing chaos within the boundaries. The Earth Sphere Alliance was working to salvage what they could of the cities they could help. It was to no avail cities were being destroyed and they could do nothing…at least until the Union came along.
After Colony 234
The Union said they could relatively stop the menace of the Swarm. With a blazing introduction they presented their warriors the "Blades." Their first experiment was with the mobile weapon Aphelion. The mobile weapon proved their usefulness as the weapon with its Shiva Blade pierced its Swarm target. The Alliance satisfied funded the Blade project and thus they soon made their mistake.
The finished project was the development of Skrymir, along with the third project Fantoma. However there is a difference between these two. Skrymir was in its test stages and the third Fantoma was not finished. Meaning a Blade without a SHELL and at first a Blade without a purpose. Skrymir and its pilot had their differences but he excelled well at this training.
Fantoma's pilot watched Anton Lucitonis go through his training. She tried to get close but he pushed everyone away. She at first felt sadness that he repelled her but she soon got used to it. It wasn't much comfort the other Blade didn't want anything to do with her. He was a happy guy yes and he greeted her with a warm smile, but he never spoke of himself. Deacon Blues was quite a good guy but she knew he hid something; it was easy to tell it was his weakness as many said.
She soon got used to this manner of living. The Union provided her with everything she needed. She reported for training each day and soon got used to life. However that soon changed as the Union was becoming discontent with the trials of Anton Lucitonis and his Skrymir.
"He is a mistake I tell you, that mobile armor is also becoming much of a nuisance. Proctor Seriyev we should do something about it. He also seems to want to find out about the truth of the matter. Why he and his comrades cannot remember what happened to them until 2 years ago."
" Doctor that is not a problem. Those puppet Blades of ours will never suspect a thing. The fact of the matter is they are not human anymore, they're body is made of psi-silver. There is not much to worry about, we shall keep them in the dark they will follow orders I'm sure of it. As for Lucitonis we shall deal with him. Anyway how goes with the Fantoma SHELL's progress?"
Near the door Anton was about to make his report on his training. However he heard all of the mistakes that the Proctor made that day. He heard everything that he no longer was a human. His body and his mind were just created to follow orders. Anton with glistened eyes went away quietly and was about to make the huge jump between life and reality.
Lucitonis went straight to where his SHELL was stored. He angrily opened the hatch to the cockpit. Dropping the paperwork he was storing he climbed into it.
"Anton what are you doing?" Came a call from one of the supervisors.
Anton did not respond and started the systems of his mobile armor. The suit powered with life and the sensor eyes flickered a glowing red.
"Lucitonis stop this at once! What are you doing with your SHELL?!"
No response he quickly shut down the communication and the armor turned to the hangar door. It flickered at first and then powered up its weapons. Then he fired unleashing a Dagur Wing barrage on the hangar door of the London base. The smoke cleared and the door was gone, technicians lay hurt from the shrapnel and a supervisor looked around.
"Quickly! Someone notify the Proctor!"
A few hours later….
"What! What do you mean he escaped?!"
"…That's just it sir he went in his SHELL and escaped. He blasted the door and went out with his SHELL."
"Damn…it he escaped did he? …Ugh well we will have to look for him won't we?"
"Proctor only one suit is ready, the mobile suit Aphelion, the Fantoma is still in its test stages….it is still not ready."
"Hmm…that is expected we will have to find a way to track him down. That mobile armor is too strong to keep unchecked."
"But now that we have seen the capabilities rework the Fantoma to become a style suit a Stealth unit. Remove the Samaski Blades they won't be necessary instead I have a better idea…."
Thus he spoke with the engineer about this incident and they went to work on the finishing touches of the mobile suit Fantoma.
