Cosmic Era 71
After Genesis destruction…
Gilbert Durandal considered himself a lucky man, or perhaps he believed Destiny was definitely on his side even after the loss of his friend Rau Le Creuset. However he understood it was in humanities best interest for Rau to have been taken down. During their last meeting he could see it in the man's eyes…there was no longer trace of the man he once met who wanted to change the world. Then all he saw was a man that just wanted everything to burn to the ground pure un-checked anger. Sighing he looked down to the boy in front of him Kira Yamato he as he noticed was very much so a leader. In fact the boy truly possessed an un-natural skill for making people like him and following him into battle. His will to protect became infectious and it only seemed natural that they would follow him. As such when the boy woke up and asked him where he was what happened and what his own name was. Gilbert decided he could use the boy. He was lucky he found him first he found a party searching for him specifically after retrieving the mobile suit only wanting it for the technology he was surprised to find the young man inside.
"Rau Le Creuset…that is your name young man" Gilbert smiled gently at him. The boy made a face and repeated the name. Testing it out his face scrounged up before seemingly coming to terms with it.
"What…who…I mean what do I do what did I do?" Rau asked.
"You are a Commander in the ZAFT military forces…you just defeated a…bad man who wanted to kill everyone" explained Gilbert.
"I…did ugh" Rau held his head and rubbed his eyes.
"I…I remember blond…mask so much hatred" he murmured.
"Indeed the man you stopped…the mask you must have lost it in the commotion it is yours. And this man Kira Yamato wanted nothing more than to destroy you" Rau nodded this Kira Yamato sounded like an evil man.
"You are in need of surgery…I'm afraid you are badly wounded as you can probably feel we are going to put you under and the doctors will make sure you are up to shape again" Gilbert smiled reassuringly to the boy. The doctors crowded them and soon Rau was under in a dreamless sleep.
"Use whatever methods necessary to implant Rau Le Creuset into his mind" ordered Gilbert. The doctor looked at him. "I already opened his mind to the idea the rest…is up to you doctor" walking away the doctor sighed and got to work he believed in Mister Durandal. This however was very much so against his morals.
Cosmic Era 73 October 2
After disembarking on the space port Cagalli was not pleased with Chairman Durandal in a few ways. First being she felt he was avoiding her the second rumors of three G.U.N.D.A.M type weapons being built by him. Sighing she looked on to her escort and boyfriend Athrun currently under the alias Camille Bedan. Honestly she found the name strange on the mouth looking at him she decided to pass the time with conversation. "So how do you feel? You know back at the PLANT's and all" she asked. Athrun frowned behind his shades and looked around a bit.
"Chairman Durandal has really brought everyone's spirits up from what I heard. Many reparations paid by the Alliance thanks to his skillful negotiation techniques." He replied sitting next to her.
"Yeah well this is my first time seeing them… inside I mean it's almost like I never left earth at all" she mused looking around. They conversed for a few more minutes before a man in a suit with some aids told them Chairman Durandal would meet them in Hangar #2 at Armory One. The trip by car was short and uneventful. Cagalli asked why the delay and got pre-written answers as per usual. Once inside Armory One they drove to Hangar #2 to find Chairman Durandal and perhaps they could get some straight answers as recently both Alliance and ZAFT had been in a tense staring contest.
Hangar #10 Armory One…
Private Hank Joseph felt himself become rigid as he heard soft rapid patting on the floor. Turning around hoisting his M-37 assault rifle he pointed in the direction of the steps. This particular hangar housed three prototype G.U.N.D.A.M units and he along with the rest of the security detail where under strict orders to not only keep them safe but to keep this completely under wraps. Gasping Joseph closed his eyes and fate dealt its cruel hand as a knife thrown from the shadows entered his throat and killed him nearly instantly as he choked on his own blood. The assailant running along with two others grabbed the knife from Private Joseph's corpse's in one swift motion 'raptor' G-21 sub machine gun in hand the assailant ran ahead of the two other assailants with her. Stella Louissier and her two comrades Auel Neider and Sting Oakley quickly slammed the doors to the main hangar open. The remaining security detail caught with their guard down fumbled for their guns. Wielding two 'raptor' sub machine guns Sting took well placed shots at the guards on the upper left Auel with a single M-37 assault rifle shot the right and Stella took the middle. Stella ran and slit the throats of the guards and scientist alike.
"Neo…I did it I killed them all" smiled Stella innocently as she dropped the knife and empty sub machine gun.
Outside PLANT's near Armory One…
A massive ship loosely based on a Carrier/Destroyer class ship design exited the 'mirage colloid' stealth mode. The massive ship was fully manned but carried only one mobile armor but enough space for a full escort of at least 12 mobile suits. The 'Girty Lue' as she was named flew just outside the sensors in a powered down state so as to not be detected. The commander in charge Neo Roanoke. The operation so far was going to plan it seemed no mistakes. They still had time with in their approximate time table and the 'Girty Lue' was not detected by ZAFT's sensors. Neo Roanoke was currently a happy man another clean operation it would seem.
Armory one Hangar #10…
Lieutenant Lois Frankford cursed lightly as he lay bleeding on the floor. The assailants had just boarded the G-weapons and where starting them up. With his final strength he crawled himself to the alarm near the wall and punched it hard with the last of his strength as blackness overtook him.
"Shit!" cursed Auel who finished preparations and hit the unlock on the mobile suit containers getting the 'Abyss' on its legs before taking one of the mounted on beam rifles on its closable shields that would form an oval shape on the machine and fired them on the hangar doors.
"Auel the hells is wrong with you!?" yelled Sting getting his Chaos up and running. Stella stayed quite only thinking if Neo would reward her once they returned.
"Alarms are raised fuck it at this point man let's move!" argued Auel. Sting only cursed made for the new opening. ZAFT started emergency procedures and began powering up their Zaku's and GINNs. The mobile suits all began making for Hangar #10 once the mobile suits emerged the battle began. The chaos using its beam rifle fired shots at the incoming Zakus who spread out. The missing shots hit the colony wall but made no breach.
"Shit this guys are serious their going to vent us all out if they fire those beam weapons at a higher output" said one of the Zaku pilots. His team mates all separated and used their boosters to surround the three G-weapons and fired concentrated burst. Stella switched the Gaia into its mobile armor form and using the boosters she ignited the wing boosters the side of the wings showed their nasty surprise two 'Griffon 2' beam sabers that the outdated Zakus could not doge in time as they got cut in half at the cockpit. Jumping and reverting from mobile armor mode the Gaia used its beam rifle to fire on the Zakus near Auel taking out one the other using its shield to absorb the hit. The shield however was now useless Auel using the distraction fired the mounted beam cannons completely destroying the Zaku the shots completely melting though the shield. The first few enemies killed the three G-weapons made their escape.
Outside PLANTs ZAFT space…
The 'Girty Lue' load up its 'Gottfried' 225cm high energy beam-cannon mounted on the upper right of the Girty Lue's Hangar doors. "a'l take the 'Exus' out and keep ZAFT busy handle things from here Lee" ordered Neo and left for the ships hangar. The cannon took a well-placed shot and fired on the PLANTs. The beam tore right through to make a breach inside the colony with enough size for a mobile suit to go through.
Armory One…
Receiving a coded transmission Stella and her two partners moved about to get to the breach. But where interrupted at once.
Armory One Dock #3 15 minutes into the incident 'Minerva' New Class Ship…
Shinn Asuka cursed loudly and very profoundly as he finished zipping up his flight suit. An attack on the armory when the Minerva is about to be launched for its first maiden voyage. This couldn't get any worse making his way out of the lockers he instantly ran into some one. Cursing he was about to yell at the moron who got in his way during an emergency situation when he noticed it was a young man about his age older perhaps that he bumped into. Blue hair and green eyes his eyes lit in recognition but left it be as he had more pressing matters. Standing up he finally noticed Chairman Durandal and behind him…RAGE boiled in him Orb's Chief representative Cagalli Yula Atha. Shaking his head Shinn saluted the Chairman and took off uttering no words of apology or acknowledgement to the two individuals or the Chairman's aids.
"Jeez…jerk couldn't even spare a sorry" said Cagalli as she helped Athrun up. He only shook his head and put his shades on motioning for them to continue. As they moved on they did not notice Gilbert Durandal smile as he looked on ahead in front of them. Near the entrance to the Bridge. Stood a white coat ZAFT Commander the Commander had long Brown hair to about his shoulders. He wore a white mask that instantly Cagalli and Athrun recognized but what gave them an even bigger shock was the voice from the mouth. The voice that sounded to what Athrun was sure 100% Kira Yamato spoke as he saluted in accordance to the Chairman.
"Chairman Durandal I request permission to sortie against the assailants" he spoke calmly and to both Cagalli and Athrun's surprise cold, unfeeling and, un-filtered lack of remorse. The chairman chuckled and waved away the commanders salute.
"Now, now commander you have to let your subordinates do their jobs also. If you when out there we couldn't let the 'Impulse' make its debut no?" offered the chairman. Sighing the commander shook his head his voice taking a warmer and almost playful tone.
"You keep me cooped up too much chairman but if you insist…Captain Gladys wishes to speak with you inside the bridge." Explain the commander.
Inside the bridge Captain Talia Gladys saluted along with the rest of the crew the chairman. The chairman nodded and offered them all a kind smile and encouraging words to work their hardest. Captain Gladys addressed the chairman directly. "Sir I would have preferred you evacuated further into the PLANT's not into the ship" she voiced her opinion on him being onboard.
"Ah Talia I'm afraid it could not be helped the ship was closer access and I had our guest to think of" the chairman defended himself all the while still holding a kind disposition. Taking a seat on the top of the bridge on some available seats the group waited for a situation update. Cagalli kept staring at the ZAFT commander but thanks to the mask she could not tell exactly what he was thinking. The hair was long the shape was slightly familiar to that of Kira's the voice was similar but it was so cold lacking the warmth it once held. That brought up another question Lacus…should she tell her of this discovery? Lacus had changed she kept telling Cagalli when she visited to check up on her that she was fine. Lacus proclaimed she had moved on and while she kept it together in front of the kids Kira's parents told her how she sometimes at night she would curl up with a picture of Kira and cry herself to sleep. A whole year later and she seemed to still have troubles. From what Mrs. Simmons told her Captain Ramius had tried to talk to her but she wouldn't listen in trying to fully grieve. She grieved with Kira's parents who accepted her whole heartedly.
"Representative Atha I am sure the mask prevents you from admiring my handsome face. So I assume your staring at me for another reason" the Commander said still staring forward watching the crew go about their business. Cagalli blushed and frowned 'certainly not Kira's personality' she glared openly at him.
"What's your name by the way?" asked Cagalli. The Commander looked to her briefly before answering.
"12th mobile suit division Commander Rau Le Creuset" he nodded and offered his hand to the representative. Cagalli blinked next to her Athrun's hands clenched and he frowned under the shades. Shaking his hand still in a sort of shell shock she turned back forward frowning and thinking Rau simply turned to the front and watched as the new kid Shinn Asuka deployed.
Armory One Dock 'Minerva' loadable hangar…
"Shinn once you deploy you are to disable the G-weapons do NOT destroy them I repeat do NOT destroy them. We have to salvage the most we can" informed Meyrin Haw communications controller.
"Hard copy 'Minerva' Shin Asuka Core Splendor LAUNCHING!" exclaimed Shinn a blue and red fighter launched from the Minerva's hangar. The interchangeable hangar began to cycle placing a legs piece with a small fighter to guide it.
"Core Legs launching…now loading torso core" Meyrin kept relaying the information. The torso in place it launched using laser guided system the three pieces all came together with the Core blender to for a mobile suit. The G.U.N.D.A.M type 'Impulse' was formed.
"Minerva send Force Pack!" requested Shinn.
The pack which held a booster a rifle and two beam sabers was launched with laser guided systems it docked with the 'Impulse' changing its phase shift armor color. Taking off the impulse intercepted the Gaia, Abyss and, Chaos instantly attacking the lead machine. The Chaos flew to the side avoiding the beam rifle fire. Cursing Sting fire his own rifle that the Impulse shield quickly deflected. Auel used the Abyss cannons to fire a constant barrage at the impulse that was force to maneuver around the beams. The 'Gaia' taking advantage of the pre-occupied 'Impulse' firing its beam rifle at it.
"Damn it!" screamed Shinn as a beam whizzed near the 'Impulse' flying back reaching into its pack Shinn pulled out a 'Folding-Razor' anti-armor knife. Throwing it at the 'Gaia' the knife imbedded into the mobile armors visor. Growling Stella switched to mobile suit mode and used her boosters to close in on Shinn. Taking its beam saber out the 'Gaia' clashed with the impulse's shield. Taking out its own beam saber the 'Impulse' retaliated with an over-arching swing that was met by her blade. The two clashed in the sky for a few seconds the 'Abyss' trying to get a clean shot but the 'Gaia' was in the way.
"Damn it! Stella move! I can't get a shot!" Yelled Auel as he couldn't get a shot in. an alarm rang inside his cockpit and he noticed a Zaku Gunner taking aim at the 'Abyss' firing its M63 Main assault rifle. The beam flew past the Abyss after barely dodging it. Frowning Lunamaria Haw took aim again trying to hit the 'Abyss' on its booster backs. The 'Abyss' simply maneuvered around before taking aim at the Zaku and firing on Lunamaria. Rey Za Burrel also deployed alongside Lunamaria fired his own beam rifle. At the 'Chao's who wanted to join the battle.
Outside PLANTs…
Lieutenant Zackery Strife growled in frustration this mobile armor and its cannon was keeping him and his squad on their toes.
"Flank him if possible Ashton with me take the front!" ordered Lieutenant Strife pushing his Zaku Warrior along with Ashton's to attack the 'Exus' head on. Smirking Neo moved his gun barrels up and quickly sped towards the two mobile suits. Firing his primary beam cannons at the front of the mobile armor he made the two mobile suits separate. Ashton not noticing the gun barrels was torn apart by quick beam strikes to his suits arms head and finally cockpit.
"Shit Ashton! God damn it take that son of a bitch down now!" ordered an anger Lieutenant Strife. Firing his beam rifle the 'Exus' flew in a flair of complicated maneuvers out running his Zaku. Neo using his gun barrels finished off the other two suits in an impressive maneuver by using some of the barrels as bait to positions the others into perfect cockpit shots. "I'm going to take you down now you bastard!" roared Lieutenant Strife discarding his rifle for his beam Tomahawk. Pushing the suit to its limit he closed in on the 'Exus and swung upwards ready for a final blow. Neo smirked inside the cockpit looking at the Zaku up close and personal he opened up an open channel to him.
"You tried soldier" mocked Neo. His well-placed gun barrels open uninterrupted fire on the suit tearing it to pieces before Neo backed off and the suit exploded into a thousand pieces. "Black team you are out of time head to the rendezvous point now" ordered Neo to the strike team. The team all cursed so into their fight they had forgotten their reason to be there. Sting taking command used his DRAGOON system operated packs he fired the entire stored missile armaments to the enemy suits forcing them to disengage.
"Were out of here guys! Come on Stella Neo is waiting come on!" yelled Sting Stella quickly forgot her fight with the 'Impulse' and quickly flew with her booster pack to Sting who caught the 'Gaia' and the 'Abyss' soon joined it and they flew toward the opening where they met the 'Girty Lue' and made their escape. Once onboard Neo was waiting on the hangar. Placing the suits down on their perspective docks the pilots dismounted and reported to Neo. The three pilots saluted to Neo. After ordering them to return to their suits and standby he was ready to return to the ships bridge but was stop by a tug on his uniform. Turning he saw Stella looking at him expectantly.
"Neo…reward?" she asked her face blushing. Neo frowned a little.
"Stella…the mission isn't over yet you…have to wait until were clear" he said. She made a one with her finger and gave him a pout. Sighing Neo placed his hands on Stella's shoulders brought her close and kissed her lips gently. Stella gave a mewing noise and smiled brightly at Neo before floating off to the 'Gaia' Neo shook his head he didn't like doing this but the girl developed this attachment to him that he did not approve of. She was useful however and that was all he needed.
Armory One dock 'Minerva'…
"Captain I suggest we launch and go after these marauders" chairman Durandal suggested. Captain Gladys looked about to protest but decided against it. She ordered Shinn and the rest to return to the 'Minerva' and began emergency launch procedures.
Earth Orb…
Mwu La Flaga stood staring at the sea by the sea side of the beach house where he Marrue, Andrew and, Lacus all shared. After the war they had decided to stick together Marrue and Mwu already starting their life but they offered Andrew Waltfelt to stay who was still in a rough spot over the loss of his lover Aisha. Looking out into the beach he was joined by Marrue she placed her hand over his as he was leaning on the railing. Mwu looked at her and she offered a small smile. His scared face returned it and he looked on giving a melancholy sigh.
"Kid…I made it I know you did too I'm going to find you your obviously not in the Alliance so ZAFT here I come" he said to no one in particular. While most even somewhat Lacus had decided to declare Kira dead and even had a funeral for him. He did not attend believing it was a betrayal to the kid to write him off as dead. He survived the 'Lohengrin' shot that nearly killed him and the Archangel quickly picked him up. To say Marrue chewed him out was an understatement as she cried and raged on for almost 30 minutes. Sighing from his memories Mwu looked at Marrue with determination. "You with me?" he asked and she gave him a gentle smile. Marrue could only but Andrew joined in as well.
"The kid opened my eyes…well eye I owe it to him if you don't mind this old cripple I want in" Andrew said. Mwu chuckled from living with him for a year he found two things he liked best about the former Commander one he made a HELL of a good coffee and two he had a likable personality.
"If you think you can keep up old man" he joked
"Honestly you two I have to go keep you out of trouble" Mwu grinned and the three agreed to look as soon as possible. From the door Lacus saw them and smiled and at the same time felt a sense of overwhelming sadness. Her mother…her father Kira was all she had left and he disappeared. She tried to move on but a part of her soul was still with him she buried no body but she did believe him gone to a certain extent. Mwu then told her he believed otherwise and would look for him until he personally confirmed he was dead. Mwu La Flaga made the impossible possible so she told him she would thank him ever much if he succeeded. Honestly she was hoping he WAS dead because how could she face him if he was alive? She gave up and now just wanted to curl up and cry herself into oblivion. Closing her eyes as some tears escaped she turned around and re-entered her room. Mr. Pink was waiting for her he bounced up and she caught him she smiled and kissed the little pink ball. She curled up in bed and closed her eyes and he mind was filled with memories of him. They had so little time but they had made enough memories she believe would be enough for her to live out her days.
The stage is now set a series of events to take place people are making moves. Men with lust for power and hatred. It has been brewing for a whole year now war is coming to the solar system once again with all its glory…and all its horrors…
Chapter 1: the Theater opens…the curtains raise war takes center stage.
So this is my take on Gundam SEED Destiny because as we know it sucked balls. That being said I changed plenty of things episode one so this is an AU out the ass. I want to bring the more mature aspect of war into the SEED world. Also fair warning I am altering the characters greatly because well Cagalli was useless and really bad character. Shinn pissed me off to no end I get it he is young angry and revenge driven but I'm going to use this differently.
I will also just give you the heads up right here and RIGHT NOW Athrun and Cagalli won't last long. Just like they did in SEED which I found that made sense to a certain extent he felt betrayed and she was going to marry some other douche bag I get it. Another I find they couldn't work out because Cagalli must think of her nation first meaning Athrun didn't want to be second to a nation. This I believe comes from the experience with his father that treated him like crap because the nation and his revenge came first. Again understandable and I enjoyed the effect it had on it. But yeah that's pretty much it this will be my first full fledge story tell me what you think I encourage reviews as well as critique. I would hope you enjoy my take on this series. Who his Neo Roanoke? Mwu La Flaga has not given up hope that Kira Yamato is dead.
Kira Yamato thinks he is Rau Le Creuset so many things are going on tune in next time to find out what happens. I'm putting the title of the chapter at the end I saw this in a book but I can't remember which book it was right now. Also Internet cookies for whoever knows where I got 'war is coming to the _ sector with all its glory…and all its horrors'
