Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Parallel

by TPBvirus

100 years into the future, humanity has achieved peace with each other and has expanded its influence throughout the solar system. The Grey Matter, an ELS type organism, threatens to end this peace and destroy humanity. The Eternal and its crew are all that stands between humanity and this enemy.

1. Introduction

Hey guys,

I'm excited you all are here and I'll try to do the best I can to make as complete a story as possible with Gundam SEED Parallel. I was inspired to write this after I watched the HD Remaster of the Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny series and will be incorporating a lot of references to those two series, mostly in the characters and the technology. In addition, I will be playing with the idea of Parallel Universes and that the world of Gundam SEED is one of the many Gundam worlds, sort of like DCs infinite Earths. So the characters will most likely encounter characters across other Gundam series.

So take note: You may want to have Gundam Wiki open if you're not familiar with Gundam. It has all the information you'll need on certain characters, factions, and tech that will be in this fanfic.

If I had an active youtube channel this would be the part where I'd say, "I hope you all enjoyed the video and please Like, Comment, and Subscribe," but I don't so we'll leave it at that.

And without further ado...

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Parallel.

PROLOGUE

CE (Cosmic Era) - 84

Earth and the PLANTs are finally at peace. After the Three Valentine Wars waged between the two sides of humanity they have finally united under one banner, The United Human Federation of Sovereign States (UHFS). Thanks to the work of Lacus Clyne, Cagalli Atha, and many other key leaders of the nations of Earth and the PLANTs.

It is also thanks to the brave souls of Kira Yamato and Athrun Zala, who sacrificed their lives for this cause on the battlefield of the 3rd Valentine War, and the lives of many other soldiers that made the dream of the UHFS possible.

CE - 104

In light Lacus Clyne's departure from the world of politics in the UHFS. Shinn Asuka is appointed as the Lead Representative of ZAFT in the UHFS Cabinet of World Leaders. As this occurs advances interstellar travel continue as humanity now begins to spread its wings beyond the orbit of Earth to start building colonies from Venus to Mars. Additionally many research stations throughout the solar system, studying everything the astronomic community of planets has to offer, from the Sun to even as far out as the Pluto and the Oort Cloud. Humanity enjoys its golden age of expansion and peace.

CE - 128

Scientists in the outer solar system research stations encounter a strange form of metal with unknown origins. This metal assimilates anything it touches and has become known to the UHFS Technological Institute as "Grey Matter" or its longer name "Extraterrestrial Living Metal Shape Shifter (ELS)" Later that year, the UHFS guard stations near Uranus lose contact with the Pluto/Charon Research Team. It is then revealed that they were attacked by an unknown foreign force that used "Grey Matter" as its primary weapon.

CE - 130

An object is recognized on the outer solar system scanner and is headed towards Earth. The outer guard stations are quick to take action to stop the object until it is realized that the object is a "Grey Matter" Hive. The unit does its best to fend off the invasion force, but to no avail. Their mobile suits and their battleships are assimilated into the hive's endless numbers of Grey Matter.

CE - 131

The UHFS is now completely aware of the potential threat of its Grey Matter invaders. The UHFS military is called to arms and the Grey Matter is held off at Saturn by groups of Battleships and Mobile Suits. The hive returns to the outer solar system and feeds off the matter of nearby planetoids in the Oort Cloud to replenish its Grey Matter source.

CE - 170

The struggle of the troops to deal with the Grey Matter has put the military on a doomsday clock schedule to develop the means to defeat the enemy once and for all. At this point the Grey Matter hive could've tripled or quadrupled in size and strength, so the UHFS Military frantically tries to develop the ultimate mobile suit. This leads to the development of the Gundam Parallel Alpha and its sister Gundam Parallel Omega. The designs shared a lot in common with the Destiny Gundam, but had entirely different qualities. A general purpose mobile suit that is powered by harnessing the energy of a controlled wormhole that has its exit and entrance points in the two suits. This occurrence allows for both machines to have a near limitless power supply while the other is active. Should either Gundam perish or the pilots choose to activate the protocols of its kamikaze type mission, the Parallel Gundam would create a singularity, a black hole, which would completely destroy the Grey Matter.

Out of hundreds of thousands of pilots that applied for the Parallel program only two were selected.

And that is where the story of Apollo Zala and Reina Kimura begins.

Edit ( 12/18/15 ): What's going on everyone, I'm just tagging this one here because I feel like it's important to put down at the start. I know as an author, I should be the one proofreading my own text. I do proofread it, however, as I am not the greatest writer out there, often times my work comes out of the factory full of flaws. So if you are willing, please help me out and point to me the more exceptional errors that make sections of the story seem unclear. I'll update those chapters promptly.
