I cannot believe it. I look for what seems like ages and there are barely that many crossovers with any Gundam series and Transformers! Seriously guys, how can you not see this happening? Giant alien robots and giant robot machines that humans pilot, its not like that's a hard thing to come up with a story for! Well I'm done ranting on that. Anyhow...
I do not own Gundam SEED, SEED Destiny, or any of the Transformers franchises.
Chapter 1: Gundam Meets Autobot
Space, the final frontier. The vast ever expanding realm of planets and star which humanity has only just barely seen a small percentage of, and in a certain part of Earth's orbit, the home of humanity's largest collection of trash, known to humans, whether they be Naturals or the new breed of humans called Coordinators since they first traveled into space. And despite this, it is among this collection of old parts from ships, satellites, and other various items that we find a single, white ship that appeared to have a pair of legs extending from the front of it. It is known as the Earth Forces experimental warship, Archangel.
Despite the limited amount of time it had in actual battle, the mighty Archangel and its limited crew and refugee passengers of the now destroyed space colony Heliopolis had survived quite the ordeal, thanks in no small part to the efforts of one such refugee now pilot, Kira Yamato, a first generation coordinator. Kira and the others knew full well that the Coordinators were the ones that the Earth forces were fighting against in the war, but that did not matter as he was now the only one able to pilot the mobile suit aboard the Archangel that was known as X105-Strike.
Ever since the moment he had accidentally stumbled upon the machine that he had come to call a Gundam, Kira had faced off against the elite Z.A.F.T. forces unit known as the Le Creuset team and hated every moment of it as he had decided to live in Heliopolis and its homeland nation of Orb because it was neutral in the war. Though since his friends were aboard the Archangel and going so far as to even volunteer to help with the ship's operations, Kira knew he had to help out since he had the power to make a difference in whether or not the ship would make it. Sadly, they now faced a serious problem which was why they were now in the Debris Belt.
Though they were able to survive the attacks that came their way, the Archangel needed to resupply and it desperately needed water. Knowing this, they decided to make a detour through the Debris Belt on their way to the Earth Forces' Lunar Headquarters. It was there that they discovered the only source of water was the ruins of Junius Seven, which had drifted into a stable orbit in the Debris Belt, and they soon found they had no choice but to take the water from there. No one was pleased with doing this, as Junius Seven was known to be the largest cemetery you would ever find, and the largest memorial ever created throughout human history in Space.
While teams were retrieving the supplies and water, Kira was standing by in the Strike, which was equipped with the equipment known as the Aile Striker pack, keeping watch in case of enemy attack. During this time he spotted a Z.A.F.T. surveillance suit searching the ruins for something, and it spotted one of the transports gathering supplies. It moved to engage, which gave Kira no choice but to shoot it down, destroying the surveillance suit. He barely registered the team's thanks as he lamented over the fact that he just had to take a life again. Kira was screaming at himself and at whoever was piloting the unknown Z.A.F.T. suit that they just had to turn and look when they could have just left. There was no reason for that to have happened and yet it did and he could not do anything to stop it.
As he continued to lament on this, the Strike's sensors picked up a distress signal. Using the computer, Kira located the source and discovered a one person life pod. "What is a life pod doing way out here," Kira wondered aloud.
Kira maneuvered the Strike to grab the life pod and carry it back to the ship. As he was returning though, he picked up another signal, but this one was one he did not recognize. After analyzing it for a moment, he believed it was either another distress signal or a life sign of some kind, and he moved to investigate it. What he found was not what he expected. There, floating amongst the debris was something that looked very much like a mobile suit, but at the same time it was nothing like anything Kira had ever seen. It was colored mostly yellow with black stripes, and it seemed to have things that were common among typical cars and other similar vehicles such as wheels and a set of small wings on its back that looked like they could be doors, but the most interesting thing to Kira were the machines eyes. They were darkened, completely blacked out, almost like they had lost their light, or they were now devoid of life. "What is this thing," Kira wondered aloud once more.
Kira then brought the Strike closer to the large robot and as soon as the mobile suit touched the machine's hand Kira felt as though a surge of energy just suddenly sparked through the Strike's hand into the robot, and that he could feel what he could only describe as a light pulse from the inside of his cockpit which he somehow knew came from the large machine. He did not know why, but he knew that this thing should not be left out there in the Debris Belt to float with all the junk that had collected their and the obvious graveyard. What he found more surprising was the fact that he could somehow tell that whatever this thing was it was most definitely alive.
Sometime later, Kira had brought both the life pod and the large yellow robot back to the Archangel. "You certainly have a thing for picking up things that others leave behind," Ensign Natarle Badgiruel commented to Kira, referring to when Kira brought the Heliopolis life boat aboard, and now this life pod and the large machine that was sitting out of the way, close to where the Strike was currently docked. They then moved to open the pod, and out came a small, sphere shaped robot that was saying, "Haro. Haro. Lacus. Haro."
As everyone simply stared at the small pink robot, another female voice said, "Thank you. I truly appreciate your assistance."
They all looked to see a lovely young woman about the same age as Kira and his friends in a very elaborate dress, with bright blue eyes and a joyous expression that seemed to give off an impression that she could find hope anywhere even when things seemed hopeless. The sight of this girl alone entranced Kira so much that he dumbly reached out to stop her momentum in the zero gravity environment. "Thank you," she said.
"Uh…no problem," Kira replied while continuing to stare at her like he had never seen anything like her before. She simply smiled at him and then noticed the symbol on the sleeve of his uniform jacket and exclaimed, "Oh my. This wouldn't happen to be a Z.A.F.T. ship would it?"
A short time later, they learned that the young girl was actually Lacus Clyne, the daughter of Siegel Clyne, the PLANT Supreme Council Chairman, and the little robot was her pet robot Haro, who she also called Mister Pink. Knowing this, they realized that though they had solved the problems of their supplies, they now had a new problem. With the daughter of the PLANT leader aboard their ship, it meant that as soon as they arrived at the Lunar Base, she would be treated as leverage against the PLANTs, essentially becoming a hostage. This did not sit well with Captain Ramius or Lieutenant La Flaga, however Ensign Badgiruel reminded them that Kira and his friends were only civilians and yet they were allowed to see classified military secrets by working on the ship and piloting the Strike. Both the acting captain and the mobile armor pilot could see that Natarle had no problem with handing Lacus over, but at the same time they could not deny her words.
"Still that leaves one thing unanswered," Mu commented. Both women turned to him when he mentioned that. "I'm talking about the large yellow robot that the kid brought aboard. I mean haven't you heard what Murdoch and the other engineers were saying about it? It was like nothing they'd ever seen before. They couldn't even identify what the metal that thing's made of is."
"That's impossible," Natarle argued. "If it was found in the Debris Belt that should mean that it was something that humans made right?"
"I'm not so sure about that," Murrue replied. "The first mobile suits that the Earth Forces ever created were the G-Weapons, and we know for a fact that Z.A.F.T. never created anything like that. No one has ever even thought of creating a machine like that."
"Yeah and don't forget what Kira said after he brought it in," Mu commented. "It was something about how its eyes were dark, like they were meant to be lit up with a spark of life or something like that."
The mystery of this large yellow robot would remain that for some time, as the Archangel had received a transmission from the eighth fleet that they would be sending a small fleet out to meet up with them. Shortly afterwards, the advance fleet came under attack by the Aegis and Le Creuset's ship, which forced the Archangel to accelerate and deploy the Strike and La Flaga's Mobius Zero mobile armor to counterattack. During the attack Flay Allster came to the bridge with Lacus literally in tow with a simple declaration.
"I will kill this girl. I swear I will kill this girl unless they stop attacking my dad's ship. Go ahead and tell them," Flay all but shouted, because she knew for a fact that her father, who was the Atlantic Federation Vice Foreign Minister, was aboard one of the advance fleet's ships, and the look on her face showed she was not joking.
However, that was going to be more of a problem, as a moment later, the sound of an explosion was heard, and the ship shook violently. A moment later, what looked like a large blue and gold F-35 Lightning II fighter jet appeared and launched a barrage against the Archangel and a moment later it spun around as it flew around the ship and changed into large, mobile suit sized robot with armor that was the same color, its wings extending down from its back, a gold faceplate, and red eyes that screamed that it was not friendly or in a good mood. It then pulled a large gun from its back and pointed it at the Archangel's bridge. "Human vessel, release the Autobot in your custody or be terminated," the large mechanical man demanded.
Everyone was completely shocked by this development, even the Z.A.F.T. forces as the battle had halted completely with the arrival of this large metal man's appearance. They could all do nothing more than stare in awe at the strange being that had suddenly appeared and threatened the Archangel, aside from Rau Le Creuset himself who was simply intrigued by the new development. The shock was so great that no one in the Archangel's hanger even noticed when the eyes of the ship's mystery machine suddenly began to spark slightly and finally light up with a bright blue glow.
"What the-," Murdoch shouted when a loud bang was heard. He then turned and saw the large yellow robot banging on the door to the launch bay, and then it started beeping rapidly like it was talking fast or something. Before anyone knew it, the robot raised its arm and changed it into a twin barrel gun like he was going to blast his way out.
"Whoa, hey, wait a minute big fella!" Murdoch shouted. The large robotic man seemed to understand, because he turned to the engineer, trilled for a moment, and seemed to act like he was begging him to open the door. Murdoch did not know for sure if that was what their mystery guest who just woke up wanted, but he did not want to risk the big guy damaging the ship if it was and he did not help. "If you want out I can just open the door for ya,"
As soon as the doors were open, the large robot trilled something that sounded like a battle cry of some kind and then changed into something that seemed to be a futuristic muscle car. The machine revved its engines and charged off down the catapult and into open space. Once it was out in space, the titan aiming at the Archangel turned and smirked at the sight. "Well this is a surprise. The Autobots' most famous scout, floating through space at my mercy. I will enjoy extinguishing your spark in the name of my master," he declared as he raised his gun towards the yellow vehicle.
"What," Kira shouted. "Why would they do that?! Why would they launch out that thing if he's what this guy wants?!" He knew this vehicle was the robot he brought in, but he did not know how he knew.
Then, to his shock, the vehicle changed its form into the robot, and the robot spun around as it raised its right arm and changed it into a blaster once more. This time however, it fired a couple of shots at the enemy unit. Despite the fact that he clearly was not meant for aerial or space combat, the yellow machine was able to hold his own as he took advantage of the zero gravity environment and nearby debris of other ships to avoid his enemy's fire. Though it seemed everyone would only watch as the two metal titans fought, but soon enough the fighting began again and everyone on the Archangel's bridge was reminded of Flay's declaration. It soon became irrelevant however, as the ship her father was on was soon destroyed by the enemy ship. Flay was thrown into shock at the sight, and Natarle could no longer sit still now.
"Attention Z.A.F.T. forces, this is the Earth Forces warship Archangel. Currently aboard our vessel in protective custody is PLANT Supreme Council Chairman, Siegel Clyne's daughter Lacus Clyne," the ensign said into the communications microphone. "If you do not cease your attack and withdraw, we will consider your actions to suggest that you do not care for her safety."
When he heard that, the Z.A.F.T. pilot of the Aegis, Athrun Zala, was furious at this, and he was not alone in this. The large yellow robot seemed to be angry as well, but as he turned and started to let out a beep that would sound like a growl he then let out a sound that sounded like a cry of pain as he clutched his chest. The large blue man then had a look of recognition at this, as he saw the area where the scout, as he had called his opponent earlier, was clearly damaged. "You are wounded," he commented aloud.
The yellow robot trilled a moment as though it were saying so what, but then adopted a look of surprise as the enemy machine place his large rifle like cannon away. "I am an honorable warrior, and though I wish to end your kind to avenge my brother, I will not fight a wounded warrior," the gold faced robot proclaimed to the scout as he turned to leave. "But rest assured, the next time we meet we will finish this."
He then changed into a jet once more and flew off, but not before receiving two transmissions. One a call from his allies that requested they rendezvous as soon as possible, and the other came from the Z.A.F.T. ship commanded by Le Creuset in which the masked soldier said, "I believe we have a common enemy and much to discuss. I believe we should meet."
Kira watched as Athrun and the Aegis returned to the ship and then turned to look towards the yellow robot and saw that it seemed hurt just like the blue one who turned into a jet had said. Now he was more than curious, and he noticed that the metal man was waving to him as if saying he would like some help. He maneuvered the Strike so that he could pull the yellow robot back to the Archangel, where he knew they were going to try and get some answers from this machine.
AN: If you have not figured out who the Archangel's newest guest is then you are an idiot. Seriously how many Transformers do you know of that are yellow and cannot speak except through a series of beeps? Anyhow...The Archangel's crew and that of the Vesalius learn of the two mysterious visitors that have appeared before them. What secrets do these metal giants hold, why are they here, how many others of their kind are now among humanity, and just what will happen if either side of the conflict ends up in an alliance with the wrong ones? Next time on Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Prime...His name is Bumblebee. Learn what you can from your new ally Gundam! Please read and review.
