Prologue: The White Knights
To preserve the peace of the world with the will of God. We are the White Knights.
A flash of white shot across the sky. A mechanical giant was left hovering in the air, scanning its surroundings for any signs of movement. For a moment, there was absolute silence. Then, suddenly, another monstrous creature emerged from darkness, catching the other by surprise. It raised its lustrous blade and in a second, pierced the enemy mobile suit with ease.
"Go to Hell, you traitor to God!" the pilot cackled as he watched his opponent burst into flames. He always loved this part. His eyes lit up as he gazed at the fireworks. He remembered enjoying them when he was child. The same red fire. The same glittering sparks. How he loved them.
"Saahir! Incoming mobile suits toward the Messiah!" a voice from the communication system rang out.
"Roger! Be there in a sec!" the pilot replied and spun around. A trail of white light tailed the majestic mobile suit as it flew back to its mother ship. In the distance, a colossal vessel drifted in space, looking more like a castle in the sky than anything else. Out of the corner of his eye, Saahir saw that two mobile suits were approaching.
"Oh, no you don't!" he cried as he pulled out his blade while accelerating through the sky. In another moment, one of the mobile suits was destroyed and the other attempted to escape. "Don't think your puny little robot can stand up to my Gospel and the word of God!" The opposing force tried defending himself with his shield, but it was in vain; the white giant sliced through him effortlessly.
"Commander Mannequin, approximately thirty mobile suits have been destroyed in ten minutes!" an operator reported.
"Dammit!" the experienced forecaster hissed as she pounded her fist on the arm of her seat. "I can't believe it… they saw through my plan…" Brushing back her dark hair, she looked down at her lap and closed her eyes in concentration. Was there anything else they could do?
"What should we do, Commander? Their models are far more superior than ours!" the operator asked.
Gospels… are they of the same class as Gundams? Kati wondered and gritted her teeth as she hesitantly lifted her head. If so… we can't win with the poorly equipped forces we have as of now.
"Peacekeeper forces retreat!" she yelled. "Retreat!"
The mobile suits began pulling back. The white giant flying before the Messiah was soon joined by two other similar automatons, forming a fearsome trio. Quite suddenly, the Gospel in the center broke formation and chased after a retreating mobile suit.
"What the-? N-n-n-n-nooooooo! I don't want to die!!" the Peacekeeper pilot screamed.
But soon enough, his shriek was silenced by the ruthless pilot.
"Saahir! I told you not to go overboard!" the same voice from the speaker rang out again.
"Hahahaha, it'll teach those sinners a thing or two!" the young man laughed as he pursued another defenseless mobile suit. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!! BURN IN HELL!!"
"Brother Saahir!"
This time it was one of his comrade's voices. He stopped just in time for the enemy to escape. Angry that he had lost his prey, he yelled at his partner. "You stupid girl! You're always too soft!"
"Brother Saahir, remember what Reverend Eleazar told us?" a sweet voice spoke to him. "He ordered us to only take as many lives as we needed to in order to bestow God's judgment."
"Who gives a damn about the Reverend!" the indignant pilot replied. "All I care about is destroying these arrogant bastards who only care for themselves!"
"Brother Saahir…"
The third Gospel intercepted them.
"C'mon you two, stop arguing already," its pilot spoke. "The fight's over… let's just return to the Messiah." With a loud grunt, Saahir made his way back to the mother ship. "Don't let him bother you too much, Colleen…" the third pilot said as he sighed in a hopeless manner.
"Thank you, Brother Donum" she said as the three giants returned home. In the distance, they looked like angels, heading towards a castle in the heavens.
"Today, the White Knights attacked the European division of the Peacekeepers and wiped out a large amount of mobile suits. According to the military, this new organization is starting to prove to be a threat to the unity and preservation of peace in the world. Because of their innovative technology and seemingly foolproof tactics, the White Knights are causing more damage than initially anticipated. President Levin claims that there is currently no official declaration of war, but further provocation may cause the Peacekeepers to take aggressive action. Currently, the true motive for the White Knights is unknown, but- "
Click. The young man leaned back on the couch and sighed.
"Just when we thought there was finally peace, eh, Setsuna?" he said as he looked over to his neighbor. "Why can't people just leave the world the way it is…" He stared at him as if he was waiting for an answer. But he never got one. Instead, the Meister stood up and walked over to the door.
"It's getting late," Setsuna said as he looked over his shoulder. "I'm heading back. See you."
"By- " Saji didn't even have the time to finish a word before the door slammed closed. That was sudden… well, he is hard to understand after all…
The young Meister felt vibrations in his pocket and fished out his phone.
"Did you watch the news, too?" he asked the caller.
"Yes, I did."
"I see."
"Setsuna, I'm sorry. I was really planning on giving you a break."
"It's fine."
"I'll send you our coordinates."
"I'll head into space tomorrow."
"Thank you, Setsuna. I'll see you tomorrow then."
"Roger… Sumeragi Lee Noriega…"
A/N: Very, very short prologue here. And I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. The next chapter will provide a nice summary of the exact time period these events will be taking place and what has happened in the time gap of the series to now. I do know that there is a Gundam 00 movie coming out soon and most likely, this story will conflict with the events from the movie. But as of now, I will simply base this off of the ending of the second season. So please bear with me! This is basically just a little preview and a little introduction to some new characters. But I hope you all enjoyed it! Thank you for reading and please review!
