Gundam Seed: CAT

Chapter 1: Briefing.

It was the Cosmic Era, when the war raged on between the Coordinators, genetically modified humans, and the Naturals. Kira Yamato, one of our heroes, was in the middle of the Indian Ocean fending off the ruthless attacks of his friend Athrun Zala, a strong coordinator, who previously lost his friend Nikol in the last fight between Kira and himself. Nikol tried to save Athrun, but Kira spun around out of instinct and his beam sword slashed into Nikol's cockpit. He exploded. Kira barely survived. The Archangel, having nothing left to do, leaves for Alaska. It arrives there shortly. Unknown to Kira and The Archangel, another unit of Zaft, was planning their attack on Ontario, Canada.

"If everything goes our way," started the commander, "Canada will be ours by the end of the month. That is all sleep well tonight pilots; you just might need it…" He dismissed them with a wave of his hand. They saluted him and they where off. The commander sighed. This would be a long night.

Else where, in a top secret training station in Kelowna, British Columbia, a young coordinator, 15 years of age, was testing out his new Gundam: Yojimbo. Five targets appeared in from of him, and he blasted toward them. The shining armor of his Gundam was red. The basic design of it was a Samurai. It had few ranged attacks, but it had two saber swords on its back, and a huge katana beam saber on its side.

He slashed the targets with ease, accuracy and speed, destroying them all in a blink of an eye. The Gundam blasted back to the middle, and waited for orders of his teacher. His teacher, Gregory Danpala, was a skilled pilot. He was rumored to have trained with Mwu LaFlaga in his early years.

"All right that's enough Zach." Greg started, "Go get some rest, you've trained enough today." He watched then Gundam pilot bring his Gundam do the docking room, and he powered it down. The red faded from its armor, and it's turned to a matte gray.

The pilot Zach came out from the opened cockpit, after locking down the Gundam with his pass code. He came down with the steel rope, and smiled to his instructor.

"You're getting pretty good in that thing," Greg said when Zach fell into step beside him, "Lets just hope the time doesn't come when you have to fight." He said with a bit of regret in his voice. This war was leading nowhere and no end in sight either. If this goes on, this kid's going to have to fight… he thought as he looked over to his student.

The docking pits intercom crackled to life. "Ensign Pelletier report to Commander Hashimoto's office right away. Thank you!" Zach grumbled to himself after the message ended.

"This is gonna suck…" he sighed, "I just know it…" Greg laughed and Zach rolled his eyes and pressed the up button for the elevator. He didn't even get out of his red earth alliance pilot suit. He held his helmet in his left hand and waited for the elevator.

"Well Zach," said Greg, "If all goes well, I'll see you tomorrow at practice! If not, then good luck with the Commander!" he laughed as he walked down the hall.

"Yeah thanks…" He sighed, "See you Greg." He waved goodbye as the doors to the elevator opened. He was surprised to see his friend Cynthia Akoury in the elevator.

"Hey Zach!" she said cheerily. She smiled, "What floor you going to?"

"Oh uh, top," said Zach. He just realized he was pretty tired. That practice must have taken it out of him.

"Oh really?" Cynthia said, "Me too! I got called up to see the commander… I'm a little worried." Her eyes clouded over for just a second, but returned to their natural brightness.

"What a coincidence," laughed Zach, "Yeah me too, and I'm a little worried though. Last time he called me up it was because I started that food fight in the cafeteria which was great." He laughed again remembering the food fight.

"You're obnoxious," she said to him.

"So you tell me," he laughed. His laughter died of when the elevator dinged to tell them that they had reached their destination. The doors slid open, and the two walked into the huge office. The entire back wall was a window over looking all of Kelowna. The commander sat in his swivel chair looking out of the window. He heard the two guests come in and swiveled around. He clasped his hands together, and placed his arms on the desk. The two saluted him.

"Oh come on," he said, "You've seen me enough to know I hate it when you do that Zach." Zach flushed, a vibrant red creeping up his neck and face.

"Sorry Sir."

"Yes well, I hate beating around the bush so let's get right to the point. I've called you up to give you two your first mission." Cynthia's eyes grew wide, and Zach stood there in shock.

"But Sir! We're not ready yet," started Zach, "You can't possibly-"

"Speak for yourself!" hissed Cynthia, as she elbowed Zach's side.

"Ow…"

"On to the point," said the commander, he waited a few seconds, and continued, "We've received an urgent message from the Archangel. They've been attacked close to the Alaska base. We haven't heard from them since. It's been a week, and I want you two to go check it out. If they've docked at the alaska base, proceed to defend them until further orders." Zach opened his mouth to speak but he was denied by a waved of the commander's hand. "You two are the best we've got, and no one else will do this mission. They need our help. They've just lost Kira Yamato. I think we should take up the act in helping them."

"Because I'm coordinator right?" he asked. "That's hardly fair."

"Zach! That's not the point. You will go support the Archangel and report back to me for further instructions. You depart today. Ensign Pelletier is taking Yojimbo, and Ensign Akoury is taking Stealth. You depart tonight at 0-800 hours, so pack for at least five days. That is all." Both of them saluted and turned to the elevator. The commander sighed and turned around to watch his city.

The doors to the elevator opened and the two walked inside. As soon as they closed Cynthia started jumping around.

"Yes! Gundam Stealth! I love it!" She exclaimed herself, "I tried it out today, Aw man! It was awesome! It's so maneuverable!" Zach laughed.

"Yeah, Yojimbo ain't so bad either." He said. But I rather still not fight. Unknown to him, Cyn was thinking the same thing.

Later in Zach's Room

Zach fell backwards onto his bed. He stared up at the ceiling.

'They lost Kira? How? I thought he was a SEED…Or so they said…Damn it! You can't be dead!'

'I'm not!'

'Huh? Kira?'

'Yeah, it's me; I thought I'd check in on an old friend.'

He then found himself in space. He was floating and he could still breathe. He wasn't wearing a suit or anything. How strange. He looked around, and spotted Kira floating in front of him.

"Hey bud!" said Kira, and he smile. He had bandages on his head, and a few patches on his face. He looked pretty tired.

"Damn! What happened to you?" asked Zach.

"Well, it's a long story, you'll see me soon enough and I'll explain it to you then."

Zach laughed. "You know, I've missed you. I haven't spoken to you in a couple of months. And then I learned you where with the Alliance! I was a little baffled. You were never really the fighting type." Kira scratched the back of his head.

"Yeah I know, but they really needed my help. It's nice to see you again."

They both smiled, and the vision faded. Zach found himself in his room again, still looking at the ceiling. This was good of course, because he'd just woken up from a weird dream. He'd seen his old childhood friend Kira. It must have been a dream.

Or was it?
