2312 AD.
Celestial Being has reformed after years of absence. In their time away the United Nation had formed a radical military group known as A-Laws. Their methods of keeping "peace" was to do so by any means, even if it meant breaking rules and killing innocents to keep this falsified peace.
With the technology of the Tau Drives at their disposal, the A-Laws developed more mobile suits that used the GN Tau Drives. The advancement in their technology regarding GN tech was impressive, but Celestial Being had also kept with the times and their equipment has improved compared to years ago.
Armed with new mobile suits, the Gundam Meisters returned to their armed interventions.
At Satellite resource base L3
The crew of the Ptolemaios retreated to the base to resupply and test out the new machine that would help the 00 gundam.
The test astounded everyone as the 00 had reached its Trans Am time limit.
"This is insane; I never thought that this is what the Twin-Drive is capable of!" Ian said looking at the results
In the 00's cockpit, Setsuna sat in the cockpit thinking to himself. "So this is the power of the 00 Raiser...The power to change the world..."
After the test everyone was called to the bridge by Feldt as an image of a destroyed location showed on the lower screen
"This looks like it came from a satellite weapon." Sumeragi comments after a quick observation.
"It seems to be powered by a solar powering system; we don't have any other data at the moment."
"Miss Sumeragi..."
She looked and nods at Allelujah understanding what he suggested.
"Alright, Ptolemy will launch after resupplies and repairs are completed."
"Hold on for a moment!" Tieria said gaining everyone's attention
"There's something you need to know, the Federation is being manipulated by a secret group that wants to rule the world...This group calls themselves 'Innovators'..."
"And how is it that you stumbled upon this information?" Lockon asks.
"I've met them..." Tieria admits.
After a moment of thought the crew agrees that both the A-Laws and the "Innovators" were their enemies in the conflict.
Later on, the 0 Raiser was being transferred to the ship while Anew observed. Lockon stood by her talking with her and trying to get to know her more. He thought that it would be the last time they would see each other for a while until she informed him that she would be joining the crew in Ian's suggestion. This made Lockon happy as he had found her attractive and would like to continue to get more chances to get to know her.
As he leaves, he noticed Anew's strange action of just standing and staring out into space. It seemed like it took forever until she responded to his words. Lockon then began suspecting something from her but would continue to observe until he would conclude on his assumptions
The crew was in its final leg of preparing as members on the bridge were already in their normal suits.
The ship and base suddenly shook as Feldt looked at the radar. "It looks like the base is being attacked by missiles."
"We were one step too slow..."
"How many enemy units are out there?" Lasse asks.
"Can't determine," Feldt replied before the ship shook once again
The Base and ship were now in trouble as an A-Laws ship was headed for their location as the missiles continued to fire from the enemy ship
Every member at the base was being led to transport ships. "The ships will leave in order, hurry up now!" Linda said leading the members to the ships.
On the Bridge the crew prepared to leave as Sumeragi orders all gundams to launch.
"Have the emergency resupply cancelled. We'll have Ptolemy launch and lead their attacks toward us." Sumeragi ordered.
"Uh…roger that." Anew said.
"Cancelling resupply, disconnecting anchor arms from Ptolemy"
"Mom...Dad..." Miliena said concerned for her parents.
"All gundams have launched." Feldt informs
The 00 launches along with the other three units as Setsuna contacts Ian "Ian, what's the status of the 0 Raiser?"
"I'll have to work on it for a moment."
"Roger..." Setsuna said as he entered the battle to counter-attack the A-Laws forces.
When the ship moved out the forces sends in their mobile suits as Setsuna intercepts them.
He used the GN-Sword II's rifle to destroy a GN-XIII but then switches it back to its sword mode to block the saber of an Ahead unit.
"It's just like your forecast Colonel!" Patrick said as he throws an electrical smoke bomb weapon toward Setsuna. The weapon release the smoke as the electricity flows through Setsuna's body sending in immense waves of pain.
The Ptolemy continued on as its GN field covered and protected it. "Enemy suits approaching!" Feldt warned.
"Tieria!"
The Seravee held out its two GN Buster cannons aiming at the enemy suits.
"GN twin Buster cannon's ready, high density compressed particles, releasing!" he said as he turned the right handle and pulled the trigger. The blast fired as the beam headed for the group of mobile suits. It neared an asteroid that turned out to be a mobile suit using camouflage.
"How the?" Tieria said in shock.
The mobile suit blocked the cannon with a shield on its shoulder that redirected the blast away from the group of mobile suits as it charged at the Seravee kicking it in the torso.
"A new model?" Anew questioned.
"These surprise attacks, its Mannequin." Sumeragi deduced.
"Enemy fire approaching." Feldt said.
"I won't let them!" Lasse said turning the ship to the left to avoid the fire.
Celestial Being was being pushed back by the tactics used by the A-Laws.
Saji looked into the damage room where he found Ian injured.
"Mister Ian I got to get you some help!" he said
"Take the 0 Raiser to Setsuna…." Ian replied weakly. "You must get the 0 Raiser to him or everyone here will die…." Ian explained the seriousness of the situation.
Saji didn't want to but he agreed as he got into the cockpit and launches in the 0 Raiser.
Outside, Setsuna had his hands full with the GNX-XIII and two Ahead units.
"You'll never get back to your comrades!" Andrei yelled. The sensors alerted him of something coming from behind. "An approaching machine?"
"The 0 Raiser?" Setsuna said as he took this moment to head for the new fighter craft.
"Saji Crossroads?" he questions seeing Saji instead of Lasse. "Mister Ian sent me to give this to you" Saji explained.
"Understood, we're docking" Setsuna said.
The Haro on the 0 Raiser sets the machine in to docking mode as Setsuna threw one of its beam sabers to buy him some time and then docked with the 0 raiser.
The words "00 RAISER" appears on the forehead piece on the units head as the docking was completed.
Setsuna flew past one unit as he heads for another unit in front of him.
"It's working….00 preparing to eliminate targets!"
The 00 Raiser manages to outmaneuver the Ahead unit and destroyed the mobile suit. The other two chased after it.
The Haro warns of another unit in front of the 00 Raiser as Setsuna looked up.
"A new model, time for Trans-Am." He said pushing the two inner buttons on the panel activating Trans-Am. The 00 Raiser glows the redish pink that was the similar characteristic of all suits using Trans-Am.
During this use of the Trans-Am, Setsuna saw himself in an area where there were more particles as he could hear the thoughts of those on the battlefield. Saji heard a familiar voice whom he recognized was Louise.
The two yelled at each other in confusion "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
Setsuna was about to engage the new model when the output increases rapidly. "Error Alert, Error Alert" the Haro said.
The two GN circles created by the 00's drives connected and a bright light from the particles that appeared as it grew and slowly shined over all of the suits and ships on the field.
Everyone looked in shock as some tried to fly away from the coming light only to be taken in by it quickly.
CE 73
It has been 2 years since the Bloody Valentine War. Peace has been established by the Treaty signed between the Earth and the PLANTs. Though this peace was obtained, it was difficult to maintain as history repeats itself with the discovery of three new mobile suits that were stolen at Amory One. Though as history may repeat itself people will do all they can to stop war from happening once again.
A mobile suit similar to the Strike of the previous war landed in front of one of the machines that were stolen. The pilot, Shinn, engages the thieves into space as they made their own escape route to their ship.
CE 73 - Outside Armory One
The Minerva was heading out of the Armory One and tailing the ship.
Shinn battled against the dark suit known as the Gaia. "Damn you!" he yelled as the Impulse fired its rifle. The three stolen machines were making their way back to the ship as a white Zaku Phantom floated by the Impulse. "Shinn, Go back and resupply," Rey said.
"But we can't let them get away!" he yelled in anger.
"Use your head and go back and resupply." Ray said.
"Gr..fine." Shinn said as the Impulse heads back to the Minerva.
The White Zaku fought the three machines for only a brief moment as a purple mobile armor launched and aided in the three machine's escape. During the fight the pilot felt a sensation as if he knew the pilot of the mobile armor. The pilot tried valiantly to fight the experienced mobile armor pilot but is shot done due to the difference in skill and was forced to also retreat.
When the ship neared the enemy ship classified as Bogey One, they aimed their weapons at it and prepared to fire. The enemy ship used its machine cannons to blow away the Minerva's missiles as it escaped leaving the Minerva in the path of two explosive debris.
The two objects hit the sides of the Minerva as it was slowed by the explosion. This aided the Bogey One in escaping. The ship continued on its chase as the mobile suits were being repaired. Shinn looked at the Green Zaku and questioned why it was there.
"They say Cagalli was in it along with her bodyguard, but they say he's Athrun Zala." Lunamaria explained.
Shinn turned the other way as any mention of ORB was painful and annoying to him.
After taking in Cagalli and her bodyguard, Alex Dino. The ship caught up to Bogey one as they prepared for another battle.
This time three units launched as the red Zaku joined the Impulse.
The Impulse uses its blast silhouette this time as the flier sent in the pack to the mobile suit. The Impulse changed colors accordingly to what silhouette it used.
Bogey One had laid a trap for the Minerva. When the suits went looking they failed to see where the ship and suits hid and got ambushed.
"They've already taken out two of us!" Lunamaria called out. Shinn closed his eyes for a moment thinking of what to do when he heard Lunamaria's voice.
"It's the Minerva. They set a trap for us and we fell for it."
"Yea, that's what happened alright, we're pinned down, and we can't even get back"
The ship was left to find for itself, separated from the mobile suits and faced the enemy units alone.
"Launch side missiles."
The side missiles launched and nearby suits that didn't dodge it were destroyed
"We can't do anything with them behind us like this!" Captain Gladys yelled. "Can't we turn?"
"No ma'am, there's no way, what about Ray's Zaku?"
"We can't there's no way to launch it now."
Far from the area.
Setsuna opened his eyes as he looked at the screen of the 00 gundam. He slowly woke up as he looked around. It didn't seem like they went anywhere.
Slowly everyone woke up.
"My machine won't move!" Andrew yelled. For some reason his machine had lost all power. All the A-Laws mobile suit seemed to only have enough power to retreat. The suits retreated forcefully, ordered by Mannequin.
Bring grunted. There lied the 00 and he couldn't do anything. He was aided back to the A-Laws ship by other suits that had the power to move. Once the mobile suits retreated the other three Gundams moved toward Setsuna aiming their rifles at the mobile suits since their drives provided longer operation time compared to the GN Tau drives.
"Setsuna, are you there? Setsuna!" Allelujah yelled. Setsuna was awake but for some reason he couldn't respond back as he drifted back into the darkness.
The three bring Setsuna back on board the Ptolemy and puts him in the medical room along with Saji who was in the 0 Raiser. Saji was thought to be in the same unconscious state like Setsuna, but he soon woke up in a few hours.
Saji looked at Setsuna lying down from the hallway. "Is he going to be okay?"
"We don't know..."Lockon said before heading to the bridge.
On the Bridge the crew discussed their current situation.
"So where are we?" Allelujah asks.
Sumeragi looked up at Feldt as she brought up the image below them. She wouldn't need explanation on this situation as it was a map of the world and there were no Orbital Elevators.
"Okay this is weird..." Lockon commented.
"What of A-Laws? They didn't try attacking us after what happened and retreated." Tieria said.
"From what happened it look like they lost power to their drives and had to forcefully retreat." Mileina said.
"There's more..." Sumeragi said as Feldt took that as her Cue as she brought up a larger map of the area. The screen showed multiple unknowns engaging one another.
"There's a conflict not too far from where we are. But the odd thing is that..." Another image appeared showing the group the mobile suits fighting each other. The Meisters were shocked to see mobile suits that looked like gundams.
"How can this be...?" Allelujah questioned.
"Are they like the Thrones? Do they use GN tau drives?" Tieria asks as he assumed they were gundams that used the Tau drives for power.
"All we can get are images and real time footage of their battle. To get more information that would mean launching to the battle." Feldt said.
"What are the statuses on the Gundams?" Lockon asked
"They're nearly charged, and 0 Raiser is getting fixed. Whatever happened was caused by the Trans-Am or something related to that, so I'm having it checked." Ian answered.
In the medical room
Setsuna laid there unconscious, though his eyes would twitch and move slightly at times. In his mind he heard everything that Sumeragi had said and it seemed like he was in the meeting along with the others but he was not physically there.
Seeing the images of the gundams caused Setsuna to wake up as he heads to the 00 gundam. Saji was leaning on the wall when he saw Setsuna heading out. "Hey Setsuna!"
Setsuna didn't reply and kept going toward the hangar.
On the bridge.
Alarms blared as a screen popped up showing Saji crossroads face.
"What's going on?" Sumeragi asks.
"It's Setsuna. He's in the gundam and launching!"
"What? He should still be resting..."
Setsuna's face appears on the screen "Miss Sumeragi, allow me to check out the situation."
Everyone was surprised by this, he was not there but it seemed that he was talking about the battle outside.
"It is Celestial Beings duty to end conflict." he said.
The others agreed with him and after a moment of thought Sumeragi nodded. "Ptolemy will intervene on this conflict with caution. All Gundams launch! Allelujah I want you to guard the transport ship."
The Meisters nodded heading to their gundams. Ian contacts Setsuna on the Communication link or Com-link. "Setsuna, the 0 raiser was just adjusted but there are still some things that I want to look at so just sortie out in the 00"
Setsuna nodded.
Outside
One by one the Gundams launched as they headed toward the battle between the Minerva and Bogey One. Arios stayed by the ship as they went with the ship towards the battlefield.
The battle continued as Lunamaria faced the Gaia. She fired the Gunner Zaku's cannon only to miss as the Gaia jumped to dodge the shot.
The Impulse was in a small pathway and spotted the Gaia to its left. Shinn pulls the trigger button and then fired.
Back in the ship the crew was trying to get Ray's Zaku out to help with the predicament of the ship being stuck.
Gladys picked up the phone and orders Ray's Zaku to be walked out if it had to.
Ray heads out to help Shinn and Lunamaria but ended up having to fight a purple mobile armor.
"You're something else aren't you white baldy." the pilot of the mobile armor comments.
Ray maneuvered the Zaku to dodge the beams of the mobile armor and bides time to find a way to counter-attack.
As Ray moved to protect the ship from a mobile suit the ship was using the tactic that Athrun suggested to get out of the area.
When the ship got out of the rocky area, the sensors began to jam as the soldier typed and tried to get signal back.
"Captain, our sensors are jammed, we can't get a good reading of anything." the soldier said.
"What? The enemy has a jamming weapon?"
The three gundams neared the black ship as they pass it to head toward where the mobile suit battles were.
Sumeragi contacts all four of the Meisters and sent her battle plan to them.
"Understood." they all said as they broke up into groups and then headed off in different directions.
The captain and everyone on the bridge looks on as they saw a mobile suit past them and then behind it a trail of green particles.
"Huh...what was that?" Arthur said in confusion.
"I don't know but try and contact the mobile suits and tell them to be on high alert."
"Roger."
Out with the A-Laws ship
The crew got their suits repaired but the drives were still charging as Katie Mannequin heads back to where the main base of operations for the A-Laws was. The crew was surprised when they didn't see the base. "What's going on here...?" Mannequin questioned.
In the hangar Bring leaned on the railing as he grunted. He was so close to the 00 yet he couldn't do a thing. Hiling comes up to him as she looked at him seriously. "Bring, have you noticed?" Bring nodded "We can't hear Ribbons..." he said quietly.
Louise was in the locker-room crying and confused as to why Saji was with Celestial Being. In her unstable condition she deduced that he was part of Celestial being from the beginning as she deleted his photos and looks at him as an enemy from now on.
Andrei watched Louise as he wondered what caused her so much pain.
The ship went stationary as they had to conserve the power supply. The ship was literally stranded for the moment.
Back with the battle against Bogey one
Lunamaria hid for a moment and then revealed herself as she fired at the Abyss. She missed and dodged some return fire.
The Blast Impulse fired at the three mobile suits as they dodged the blast. The blast rips through some heavy debris as Shinn noticed his radio signals having trouble and becoming jammed.
Shinn looked up as he noticed pink beams firing down in the area between the two forces. His eyes opened wide seeing what suits were in front of him. "Are those things new models?" Lunamaria asked.
"They're not any that I have seen before, so be careful Lunamaria." Shinn warned.
The two gundams in front of shinn were the Cherudim and the 00 gundam.
End this battle now, This is your only warning." Setsuna said.
"End the battle?" Shinn questioned.
The three extended pilot didn't take this warning seriously as they charged at the two gundams.
Auel looked at the suits as he yelled. "What? Reinforcements? I'll show you what happens when you get in my way!" The Abyss's cannons flipped open as he fired at the two gundams. Lockon and Setsuna maneuvered out of the way to dodge the shots as Setsuna charged forward quickly. He fired the rifle twice on the left cannon "fin" and then switches the weapon to the sword mode and sliced the other one off the suit.
"What the Hell?" Sting yelled out.
"Whoa!" Lunamaria said. "Are they allies?"
"I'm not sure. But I do know that those three are our enemy!" Shinn yelled as he fired at the three suits. Lockon turns around as he aimed his rifle at Shinn. "Shinn look out!" Lunamaria warned as the Cherudim had fired its Sniper gun at the Impulse.
Shinn heard an alert and then turned around. He tried to dodge, but was a bit too late as the beam hits one of the rifles on the Blast impulse's backpack. "What the?" He said in confusion as he wondered why they fired at both the thieves and them.
The Chaos launched its two weapon pods as they fired beams and missiles at the 00 only to have the 00 dodge the shots and destroy the missiles with the high powered beams. Setsuna had experience dealing with fangs and the fact that the weapon pods were larger and moved more slowly compared to the small, fast fangs, he easily destroyed the weapon pods.
"Damn it, this is getting us nowhere!" Sting yelled.
The Gaia transformed into its mobile armor form as Stella tried to slice the enemy into two using the Gaia's beams. She neared the 00 only to feel the suit being knocked down toward its left. She saw the Cherudim covering the 00 as it held its rifle, aiming at the Gaia. Stella watched in confusion as the suit turned back toward the Blast Impulse and Zaku.
"These gundams are a joke..." Lockon said finding the mobile suits not durable and as powerful as their units. The Cherudim dodged the fire from the Zaku and Impulse as Shinn grunted in anger. "Damn you!" he yelled.
Bogey One was heading for the Minerva to shoot it down when a large black and white gundam was in its path. Tieria gives the same request as Setsuna gave as this confused the Girty Lue continued on its course.
On the Minerva the crew on the bridge looked as Athrun looked with surprise as much as the others at the mobile suit in front of the ship that looked like the impulse in some ways. "What's that mobile suit intend on doing?" Arthur said as he looked at the suit in front of the ship.
Tieria charged the particles as the people saw the increase of particles around the suit.
Gilbert looked at the suit with a high interest.
A GN field formed in front of the Seravee as the large beam ball formed. The crew on the Girty Lue looked. "Its gonna try and shoot us down?" the commanding officer said. Seravee releases the beam as the ball heads for the ship and hits the right side of it as he burns through the ships side and damaged the Girty Lue.
Shocked by what happened everyone on the Minerva had their jaws dropping at what the Seravee did to the ship.
Ray looked on at what was happening as he was hit by the mobile armor when he let his guard down to look.
"Damn it, we were so close, if it wasn't for this unsuspected addition." the pilot of the purple mobile armor said as he heads back to the ship sending out retreat signals.
"Bogey one is withdrawing ma'am" a soldier said.
The Impulse and Zaku were still engaging two unknowns.
Gladys was angered as the ship was in critical condition and they needed to get to Shinn and Lunamaria. Ray was in front of the ship aiming his rifle at the gundam, Seravee. "Hmm.."
"Thats enough." a voice orders to the gundams.
The 00 and Cherudim broke off their engagement with the Impulse and Zaku as they head to regroup toward the Seravee. The Minerva looked on as they saw a distorted image that changed to a large ship. A transport ship appears behind the ship as another unit joined the three. The four suits floated in front of it.
Shinn and Lunamaria regrouped with Ray and the Minerva.
In the Minerva they got a signal that the ship tried to contact them.
"Let it through" Gladys said after looking at Durandal for approval.
Sumeragi's face appeared on the screen. "What do I owe the help and trouble?"
"I am Sumeragi Lee Noriega. I'd like to ask some questions."
Gladys looked at Gilbert once again. "They did help us even though they attacked two of our units they did not kill our pilots and we may get something from them." he said to her. She looked at the screen. "Fine...come on board."
Shinn listened to Gladys' orders as he gritted his teeth "Why are we letting them on the ship?" he questions to himself.
The two ships neared each other as connectors allowed the crew of the Ptolemy to board the Minerva. The ship's crew was armed and aimed their rifles at the Celestial being members. They are greeted by Gladys as she looked at Sumeragi.
"So who are you?"
"We are Celestial Being. A private armed organization created to eradicate war from the world." Sumeragi explained.
Everyone there questioned this and was surprised by what she had said. Shinn thought for a moment as he repeated the words in his head. "Celestial Being?"
"I would like to know what year it is" she asked Gladys.
"Cosmic Era 73" she answered in a confused tone. It was strange as to why they would ask something that was common knowledge.
"Comic Era?" Tieria commented "This isn't Anno Domini?"
"That ended a long time ago." Lunamaria comments.
"Ended? So this isn't 2312?" Lockon asked
Everyone from the Minerva looked at Lockon like he was crazy.
After some explanation the crew of the Ptolemy had much to go through as they had a meeting in the bridge.
On Ptolemy's Bridge
"So what do we do?" Allelujah asks.
"Given the situation there is not much we can really do. We can help them get their mobile suits back but there's no way we can head back."
"So does this mean that we have no purpose here?" Lockon questioned.
"No." Setsuna said. "This is a conflict and it is our duty as Celestial Being to end conflicts no matter what. This may be another era or the future; I don't care what it is. All I care about ending all conflicts with Gundam"
His words encouraged the group to continue and push on. "Then it's settled, since this conflict is just beginning our intervention can be a good thing and end it before it becomes any greater." Sumeragi said.
"What of A-Laws, all we know is they tried to retreat, and if they come back or worse..." Tieria said.
"We'll get to that point when the time comes."
"Do we intend on sharing technology? Because these people haven't had any influence of our interventions before, and if they get their hands on the GN technology it would just make things worse." Ian said.
"Not to mention that resources won't hold forever." Tieria added.
Sumeragi nodded as she looked at the four pilots. "Refrain from using Trans-Am if possible."
They nodded in agreement as they prepared to head out with the Minerva.
On the Minerva's hangar.
Lunamaria looked at Shinn smiling. "So how awesome is that? Not only do we get help in getting our suits back, but we get help from people from a whole other era!" she said in excitement.
"Yea..." Shinn said looking up at the Impulse, thinking about Celestial Being "Eliminating war completely...?" He thought to himself.
Lunamaria looked at Shinn and pushed him slightly trying to get his attention. "Hm? What is it?"
"You were daydreaming when we're supposed to go meet the pilots soon silly"
She laughed at him as she left. "Hey!" he said following her.
Girty Lue's route
The ship moved away and was still damaged. The radar picked up on another object. As the Minerva encountered Celestial Being, the EA joins with the A-laws to benefit one another.
Well that's the slight revised. To update readers (new or old), all that was changed was tenses, word usage, and fixing errors. I tried to avoid adding more detail and stick to how it was originally so you can see how my chapter and writing progressed. Constructive criticism or detailed feedback is welcomed. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and thanks for reading.
