1. Part 1

Valkyrie's Flight: The Lost Sagas: Mobile Suit Gundam Double Zeta

The Year is Cosmic Era 88. The Colonial Fleet and her Terran allies begin a long recovery from the Colonial Civil War, but Ronald Pinkerton, the great enemy of the Fleet, continues to fight against Neo-Zeon with the Anti-Earth Union Group in another Universal Century, reconned year UC 0088, soon to be renamed as a member of the Earth Federation Space Forces. The Argama and the Radish are soon to dock at Side 1's Shangri-La Colony, with an overworked and overtired Colonel who is about to lose his mind...again. (AN: Yes, this is mostly a comedy at Ron's expense.)

AEUG flagship Argama: en route to Side 1's Shangri-La Colony

Ron hadn't slept in three weeks.

The fight with the ELS, the constant fighting with the now-defunct Titans and Axis Zeon, Kamille being in a coma and dealing with their losses had him going on BarCAP nearly 24/7.

Now, if someone didn't take his place once in a while, he was going to kill members of the Argama's crew.

"Colonel?"

Ron saw Jarid outside the cockpit.

"I can take over for you."

"Hang on. I'll authorize you to be one of the pilots."

Ron entered Jarid's name and rank into the 'authorized pilots' list, which included Kamille and Char.

Ron hopped out and pulled out a H&K G3 battle rifle, then handed it to Astonaige.

"If anyone, and I mean ANYONE tries to board the Argama without me or Bright's say-so, kill them. I'm going to take a long ass nap. And before you ask, that's a plasma rifle. I modified it."

Inside Shangri-La (or rather outside the main colony, but within its' boarders)

Judau Ashta sighed as he maneuvered an escape pod into the colony. (AN: as MSGZZ was NEVER released in North America, I'll give a list of other anime characters whose English voice actors you can use instead. The full list is at the bottom of the page, but Judau's voice comes from Johnny Young Bosch, whom is widely known as Lelouch vi Britannia, but lacking the badassness that is Lelouch) Lino Abbav chuckled as Judau pulled in, (Revelz Carmont)

"Hey, Judau! This'll pay well!"

"Yeah, it will, but I saw the Argama pull into the port!"

"Oh, that's great! And the Argama's got high quality Mobile Suits like the Gundam Mk II, Gundam Dynames, the Saviour and, of course, Zeta Gundam!"

"Don't forget the Morgan! If we can even steal the Chaos 0 Raiser, we can sell the GN drives for millions!"

Then Beecha Oleg and Mondo Agake arrived just as they opened the cockpit and saw Yazan Gable inside. (Clovis la Britannia, younger and Suzaku Kururugi, in that order; Gable has an English voice) Then Gable got up and grabbed Beecha by the neck.

"Where am I?"

"Shan..gri-La...Side 1!"

"Shangri-La? COLONEL!"

Argama bridge

"What do you mean we can't dock?"

"Well, this job doesn't pay much, so..."

Then Ron got onto the bridge.

"What's up? Your 'I kill YOU!' meter's gone from zero to somewhere over 9000."

"They aren't letting us in."

Ron pulled out a diamond.

"Hey, retard! You see this? I got a lot more back in my quarters! You let us in, you get paid in diamonds."

"Are they real?"

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK? Now, you let us in, or I get out there in the Morgan, and BLAST THE FUCKING GATE OPEN!"

"Y-You're Colonel Ronald Pinkerton? Opening the gate, sir!"

The gates to Shangri-La opened and the Argama went inside.

"I'm taking a nap."

"We'll call if we absolutely need you, Colonel."

Ron got to his quarter and took a nap.

Bright, however, had no such luxury.

"We're landing now, Captain."

Inside the colony

"So, how in the 9 hells are we going to steal the Morgan? If I remember correctly, Colonel Pinkerton is the expert on quantum and bioware computers."

Yazan chuckled.

"No code can't be hacked."

"This is Colonel Pinkerton we're talking about. He once locked the Alexandria's computers out, and it took removing and replacing them to get it out of port!"

"Yes, I know, but could you remove the lock?"

"If I had two years without sleeping!"

"The Mk II?"

"Same: added after the ELS Incident."

"What about the Zeta?"

"Well, I'm not sure."

"And the Saviour?"

"DNA locked."

"Then we target the Zeta and take the Morgan! You can unlock it later."

They made it to the port and soon saw the Morgan getting maintenance.

By 'maintenance', I mean an extremely heavy cleaning.

"I want the Morgan cleaned up by the time Ron gets up! Otherwise, prepare for an ass kicking that will result in death!"

"Listen, the man paid us to fix your Mobile Suits. Otherwise..."

"I'm thinking of your safety! If maintenance isn't complete, my warning won't do you much good."

They started working faster, as if Ron was death himself.

"Now you know why stealing the Morgan is a bad idea. They've got a number of GNX-Y903VS Braves. We can take those!"

"And those are common MSs."

"Only if they have Tau drives. Actual GN drives and FTL technology bring a hell of a lot more money."

"Just grab the Zeta!"

Ron's quarters

Ron woke up and was feeling murderous.

Not sure if those were the nanites or not.

And once he looked out the window, he knew why. Someone was stealing the Zeta.

"I. KILL. YOU!"

Ron ran out of the ship and took out his vibroblade.

The would-be thieves were now dealing with Yazan, who stole one of the Standard Braves.

Ron hopped onto the Brave and opened the cockpit.

"You?"

"Yeah, me."

Ron cut Yazan's head off with the plasma blade and kicked the body out.

The rest ran off, including the pilot who tried to steal the Zeta, but failed.

"Lock down ALL of our MSs. And find me a shit-load of morpha! I need to sleep, or else I'll kill someone!"

"Go to the medical deck, then!"

Ron returned to his quarters and injected the normally dangerous chemical phenol into his blood.

It knocked him out.

With the idiots

"Well, that backfired."

"Really, you think? Now that that's over with, why don't we give up on going anywhere near the Argama?"

"We still need money, and I have a plan."

"No more plans from you, Beecha."

"The Colonel paid those rubes with jewels, right? And the Colonel doesn't care about money, so..."

"Jewel theft? That's the oldest trick in the book."

"The Colonel doesn't care, does he?"

"Then let's go! If we can grab all the jewels we can, you can send Leina to Side 7 or even Earth!"

"We could also get killed! This is Ronald Pinkerton we're talking about! He just killed Yazan with contemptuous ease!"

"And he's asleep! We'll be gone before they can notice!"

"If one of us dies during this idiotic theft, it better not be me. I have a sister to support."

"Relax. We'll be just fine."

"'Just fine', my sore ass."

Argama bridge

"An Axis cruiser?"

"The Endra's basically an uprated Musai, but yes. At any rate, we need to hide your ship."

"No, we don't. That Celestial Being camouflage system was installed a few weeks ago, right?"

Torres groaned.

"We haven't tested it yet!"

"Good a time as any."

They looked and saw Ron, looking well rested for the first time in 3 months.

"Any thoughts?"

"Activate it, and I'll smooth it out."

"How?"

"I'm a programing genus, remember?"

Ron hacked into the cameras watching the ship.

"Activate it."

The camouflage activated, but some of it was patchy.

"Are those hatches closed?"

"No."

"Close them!"

With the idiots

Beecha barely got on board before the hatch shut.

"All hands, we are now in Gray Mode. Do not make any unneeded noise or open the hatches. That is all."

"If we make any noise, we'll be found!"

"Be quiet! If we stay quiet, they won't find us."

They made it through the ship, eventually reaching Colonel Pinkerton's quarters. "It's unlocked!" They opened the door and were amazed by what they didn't see.

"It's...Spartan."

There were little to no personal effects, and that included a large chest.

Judau opened it and inside were millions of jewels, along with a note.

"'In case the Argama needs to enter port and has no money to spare'. This is his spare change!"

"WHAT?"

"SHH! Gray mode, remember?"

"If that's his spare change, I'd hate to see his wallet!"

"So would I, but let's take what we can and hide."

"Oh, hiding from me isn't possible."

They turned to see Ron holding Elle and Leina by their shirt collars.

"I was wondering why the hatch was open, and now I know why. So, stealing money?"

"For a good cause."

"What cause would that be?"

"Sending my sister to a proper school on Earth."

Ron chuckled.

"Admirable. VERY admirable. Shangri-La is a really crappy colony, so I can't punish you for this, as I can just get more using E-Carbon."

"These are fake?"

"No. Sapphire, ruby, topaz, emerald, diamond: all just hardened carbon. I just make the process go faster. And they're still real."

Ron put the two down.

"Welcome aboard."

"What?"

"You're good. Good enough to sneak into my quarters on a ship in Gray Mode. In short, welcome to the AEUG."

Judau got it through his head first.

"We've been press-ganged!"

Ron chuckled.

"Your friend and sister will stay here with you until I can find rooms for you all."

When Ron left, he locked the door.

"Damn it! We're stuck in here!"

"All because you idiots decided to steal from Ronald Pinkerton."

"Elle, this wasn't my idea."

"Then whose idea was it?"

Everyone pointed at Beecha.

"What? We couldn't steal the Zeta or the Morgan-"

"Tasks Hercules himself wouldn't do if he had a choice."

"So we decided on jewel theft. It was easier, and the Colonel wouldn't've missed it. You heard it from him first!"

"I know. Still, thanks to you, we've been press-ganged into the Anti-Earth Union Group, which was more anti Earth elitist then anti Earth government."

"Rally the call! Repairs are complete, and we're leaving to engage Axis cruiser Endra!"

The Argama started moving under the sound of a bell.

"Londo Bell. That's a better name then AEUG."

Axis vessel Endra

"Captain, there's a Mobile Suit inbound! Checking database...ADF-X01A4 Morgan!"

"What? Hard about! We don't want to engage the Morgan near a colony!"

"Morgan is launching DRAGOONs!"

"Evade!"

The DRAGOONs, being the most feared weapon in Ron's arsenal, and for good reason, forced the Endra to retreat.

But Ron was only trying to scare the Endra away, and it was working.

"Use Trans-Am to escape!"

"Sir, the Morgan can use Trans-Am as well!"

"He won't leave the Argama behind! Trans-Am, NOW!"

The Endra turned red and ran off at three times normal speed.

"Haman won't be happy about this."

"I believe she standing order was 'Avoid the Morgan at any cost, including the mission'."

"I know, but still..."

Then two more units, Emma's Super Gundam and one of the Commander Type Braves, assaulted the Endra and dropped off an assault package.

The present? A-LAWS automatons, equipped with GN Vulcans.

Ron never liked a dirty ship.

Then again, the automatons were a necessary evil: the AEUG couldn't make an assault party and take any ship they wanted, as they didn't have a full crew, let alone Marines.

At least the crew might escape.

"Capturing the Endra now." "We haven't sent over the boarding parties yet!" "We barely have a crew; WHAT boarding parties?"

"Endra's launching Mobile Suits!"

"Not for long. Let the shuttles get away; MSs, on the other hand, are fair game! GN Micro Bits!"

The Micro Bits were basically GN missiles with larger condensers and GN Vulcans, and thus, disposable.

The Gaza-Cs, and even the Hamma-Hamma, stood no chance against such an onslaught.

Most of the Gaza-Cs were destroyed protecting the Hamma-Hamma, and the rest trying to destroy the GN Micro Bits.

The Hamma-Hamma took 30 missiles before going up in flames, but even then, the MS was still able to fight.

"No GNMBs, so...Fangs, fly!"

Ron launched the Fangs and they impaled the Hamma-Hamma, missing the cockpit by millimeters. Ron recalled them as new AMX-011 Zaku IIIs arrived.

While cannon fodder to the Morgan and even the Mk II, Zaku IIIs were still a formidable MS in the right hands.

Unfortunately, these idiots were cannon fodder.

After all, most MS pilots, sans a few, were cannon fodder.

"Firing!"

The shoulder-mounted MPCs fired, destroying two of the Zaku IIIs.

Then Ron saw fourteen GNT Braves inbound, and they were hungering for blood.

"This is Judau! Engaging the enemy!"

"No, you idiot! They're piloting the same-"

Judau rushed off.

"Oh, fuck it. We've do it live."

"Wha-"

"WE'LL DO IT LIVE! Cover him!"

Ron ran back to the Argama. "Christ, these idiots are going to drive me insane!"

"You're already on the knife-edge." "You're one millimeter away from death, Bright!"

One of the Braves shot at Ron.

"This idiot dies, now!"

Ron launched his extra eight DRAGOONs.

"FULL BURST!"

The Brave tried to run.

His mistake.

Ron fired, and destroyed everything but the cockpit, but half the pilot's suit was torn.

He'd suffocate; a much more painful death.

"Retard."

He recovered his Fangs and DRAGOONs.

"RTB, now!"

"RP-what?"

"Return To Base, you backwater ingrate! Back to the Argama!"

"'Backwater ingrate'?" "Enough! Judau, that Brave wouldn't do anything against the Morgan. Return to the Argama."

Judau turned around and landed on the Argama's starboard side.

Argama hanger

Ron jumped out and got hit by Judau.

As with EVERYONE else who've hit Ron in the head, he regretted it instantly.

Only did he get a broken hand, but he got a vibroblade to the other one.

"I've been doing Zero-g combat for 60 years, kid! You're no match for me."

"I can believe that, but you have no right to boss me around!"

"Well, one, you tried to steal Zeta Gundam, then my personal change chest, and two...I'm a Colonel, newbie. And after Char Aznable left, the ranking officer in the AEUG. So, that gives me the right."

Judau tried again, but this time, Ron pulled out his M500.

"Don't, kid. I'm armed."

Emma ran over.

"Judau, don't provoke him. The Colonel will kill you."

Judau growled, but knowing that the Colonel had a very big gun, he backed down.

"What the hell is your head made of?"

"My skeleton, kid, is made of Titanium-A, E-Carbon, Diamond Carbon, Gundanium and GN particle-infused steel. I'm beam saber-proof, so don't need think of using my vibroblade to kill me. Besides, I'm an Innovator. You're just a Newtype."

"Excuse me?"

"Don't!"

"What do you mind, I'm a Newtype?"

"It's your brain. Your telepathic powers won't pop up for a while, but you've got promise. Not Amuro Ray or even Char Aznable-level, but close enough."

"Like you know them."

"Fought with them, even killed Char. He was an epic bitch to kill in UC 0080."

Judau was confused until Emma sighed and said "Alternate timeline."

"Alternate what?"

"I don't have time to tell you anything about temporal physics, and you won't understand, so..."

Ron got back into the Morgan.

"This is the Colonel: begin jump prep."

Ron going insane: bad idea.

Still, it's not like Tomino took me or my OC into account.
