Hello guys! I have made a Gundam Seed Fanfic. But it's not a single effort. This is actually a collaboration with a friend of mine. It started as a roleplay but it was getting good. This is a multi-chap so you can expect more chapters. I have no idea how this will end so I'm excited.
RP with Greymon Leader Batx flashpoint
It's been a full year since the war ended. Cagalli Yula Athha, the Chief Representative of ORB, is currently visiting the memorial where those who died are remembered. "It's been a while since I last visited you, Father…" She knelt down and placed a bouquet of flowers. "How I miss you…"
As she stood up, her cellphone suddenly rang. "Hmm… I wonder who messaged me…" She opened the message and saw that it was from the chief engineer of the military. "Lady Cagalli, the new G project is almost done."
"That was fast… I guess I better get back to the office." She was about to leave when she bumped into someone. "Shinn? What are you… doing here?" The blonde was surprised and blinked twice, as if making sure that Shinn really was in front of her.
The raven-haired teenager just raised a brow and asked, "What are YOU doing here?"
"I was visiting my Father… and you? I thought you didn't want to come back here?"
"Well…" Shinn sighed as he laid the flowers that he brought on the grave. "Kira moved me here after the attack."
"Oh, really… I didn't hear anything about that from Kira… that fool…" Cagalli crossed her arms and sighed deeply. "Anyway, what's your plan? I know you still hate me…" She added as she whispered by the end of her sentence and looked down. She didn't want Shinn to hear her.
"The reason he moved me here wasn't only due to the attack. He wants me to work on the G project for ORB since we just found out that the Blue Cosmos found a replacement for Neo or Mu or whatever he calls himself these days…"
"Ah… I see. I can see that happening. They sure are tenacious. I won't be surprised if they train a new batch of Extendeds. Oh, and for your information, he prefers to be called Mu. I'll be checking the new mobile suits, wanna come with me?" She nodded and looked at Shinn indifferently. She remembered she was going to the hangar so she invited him.
"Yeah, sure… Got tired here anyway…" Shinn shrugged as he followed her. "You haven't changed one bit." Cagalli sighed. The two left the area and headed to Hangar IV where the new mobile suits are being kept. They saw 2 new machines, standing majestically inside the said hangar.
"Impulse Rouge is almost done…" Shinn said as he held a list on his hand. One of the engineers assigned on the project handed a piece of paper to both Cagalli and Shinn.
"Yes. But why does it have the same color scheme as the Strike Rouge?" She asked Shinn as she wondered why it was, well, pink. "Is this really for you? I mean, your Destiny's working fine, right?" she added.
"The damage to it was too much. Besides, I wanted to have it upgraded like the Infinite Justice and Strike Freedom. It's still in storage so I won't be using it any minute now. I didn't want to take the Impulse from Luna so I just requested something new for me." He sighed again but answered her with much respect as he can.
"She does pilot it well enough… I just hope we won't have a need to use it." The Lioness looked at the new models once again before her phone rang. "Yes, Who is this?"
"Lady Cagalli! We have urgent news! We have discovered Blue Cosmos members within ORB!"
"What?! That's impossible! What's happening! Give me a status report, stat!"
"There is a whole unit of Strike Daggers coming your way, my Lady."
"Damn! Come on, Shinn. We have to go!" Cagalli hung up immediately and pulled Shinn. The young boy didn't let her drag him and instead, pointed at the mobile suit.
"It's…! Shinn! Pilot it!"
"I will. Come inside. I'm not leaving you here." Shinn went inside the cockpit and saw that Cagalli didn't follow him.
"What? I… can't. I'll just be in your way. I can protect myself. Go out… and… be careful."
Shinn huffed and closed the cockpit, "Fine."
The Princess stepped back to let Shinn sort out. "Shinn Asuka, Impulse Rouge, Launching!" Shinn flew with haste as Cagalli was left behind. "I better go too… ORB will NOT fall into their hands…"
Cagalli finally arrived at the control center. She was greeted by the soldiers present. "Ms. Cagalli, will you be sorting out too?" asked one soldier. "No. I'll be commanding out troops from here." She grabs a headset so she can issue out orders. "Shinn, can you hear me?"
Still full of static, Shinn's voice came on. "Yeah."
"Good. There are Mobile Suits approaching in your direction, can you handle them?"
"Heh. These aren't even worth my time." He replied as he shot down 4 more enemy mobile suits.
"Gosh, you sure are cocky…" As she commented on his confidence, the alarm went off, indicating that there were more enemies approaching. "Shinn, there are more… How long can you hold them? I might be able to get to the Akatsuki…"
"Don't worry; they look weak, probably normal soldiers."
"That's really reassuring." She sighed. "Can you look for a mother ship? Something's jamming the signals. We're lucky we're getting to you." Shinn rolled his eyes but was alerted hen his camera picked up something. "Cagalli, I'm seeing something…"
"What are you seeing? Shinn!"
"It's…"
"Dammit! What is it?!"
"It's a Black Strike Dagger… Have everyone bring him down… I… have a bad feeling about him…"
"So… Just one? What do you mean, 'It feels weird'?" Before she could hear Shinn's reply, a beam rifle shot parts of the command center. "AHHHHHH!"
Everyone saw the Black Strike Dagger on top of an ORB ship and destroyed it. Cagalli was still trying to stand up after she fell from the impact of the explosion. "Ugh… What was that… Shinn, where are you?"
"I'm coming… I'm not letting that bastard get the better of me."
"You sure are confident. 2nd Air Squadron, cover the Impulse Rouge!"
The troops assigned the the 2nd Squadron all replied with a 'Yes, Ma'am' and hastened their speed. She was just starting to get a grip when the ground started to rumble. "Bring the battle far from ORB. It's doing a lot of damage."
"Sure. I see an island near. We can fight there." Shinn was the one who answered and dragged the Black Strike Dagger farther away.
"Okay. Be careful out there. I'll be handling everything here. Make sure you come back alive."
"Hell yeah."
More mobile suits are attacking ORB. The ground started to rumble as beam rifles, Vulcan shots and miscellaneous artillery, destroying buildings and whatever's on the way. Cagalli started to feel anxious. "Shinn, are you done?"
"Not yet."
"Tch…" A mobile suit suddenly fired its rifle on the command center. "No…"
Static noise filled the airwaves and nobody knew what was happening around them. As Shinn saw the damage, he activated his SEED mode and as well as the BERSERK system of his mobile suit. The young Coordinator continued to fight the enemy forces. A number of ORB soldiers died as they fought for ORB.
Shinn took his twin beam sabers and began to cut through some normal Strike Daggers. The explosions started to die down and the command center was in ruins. Cagalli regains consciousness and tried to stand up. "Ow… my head…" She succeeded in getting back on her feet and was utterly overwhelmed at the sight before her. "Oh no… Everything's destroyed…" At the same time, Shinn also made the same remark.
The young princess walked around, hoping that maybe, just maybe, someone survived. All she saw were corpses of the people who protected ORB with all of their might. She fell on her knees and cried. "No… I… failed…"
As she cried, she saw the Impulse Rouge coming her way. "Shinn?" She lost consciousness due to fatigue and internal bleeding.
A few days have passed before she would wake up. She started to regain consciousness and adjusted her eyes to the light. She heard a beeping sound coming from her left side. When she was fully awake, she saw Shinn and a person who looked like a doctor talking with each other. She stood up and touched her head as she felt a slight pain. "Ow… "
"Please rest." The doctor helped her lie down again. "No, I must… I must know what happened! Is ORB…?"
"I prefer not to tell you anything that might upset you, but, ORB is under forced occupation."
Cagalli was surprised but she didn't have the energy to react too much. She simply accepted what had happened. "I see… Wait, is this the Archangel?"
"No. We don't know where it is right now."
"Where are we, then?"
"The White Whale... It's one of our new ships."
"I… need to check what's happening." She stood up, only to fall on her behind due to dizziness. "You are in no condition."
"No! I need to know! I need to know…"
"Would you calm down for a moment?" Shinn butted in. "Shinn… So-sorry… I'm just worried about ORB right now." She said as she lowered her head. The doctor left the two to talk.
"No, I'm sorry…" He said as he lowered his head and clenched his fists.
"It's fine… Don't blame yourself… but… how's everything? Any news?" she asked.
"Do you want me to lie or to tell you the truth?"
"Do you have to ask? I want the truth, of course… I… wanna know…" She answered with a tear on her eye.
"It's under a national lockdown. No one's allowed to leave or go in. Outside contact is also being rejected."
"No… NO! Who… Who's responsible? Tell me, Shinn!" she held Shinn by the collar and started to cry.
"Blue Cosmos." He said calmly and looked at Cagalli straight in the eyes. "Why… Why does this have to happen…"
"They are terrorists… What other reason is there for them to do this? It's not the first time, you know…"
"I just can't accept that we lost…"
"They got us by surprised…"
"What should we do now? And are we on earth… or space? I don't know what's going on right now…" She said as she sighed deeply and covered her face with both her palms.
"We're preparing to leave for space. We're asking the PLANTs to help." He handed a handkerchief to Cagalli for her to wipe her tears.
"Meeting up with Lacus and Kira, huh…"
"Yeah. We'll need their help." Cagalli nodded and said, "Okay. Let's go. We have no time to waste."
"We need to re-supply first, though." Shinn said. "Why don't you rest? I'll tell you when everything's ready."
"Okay."
After a few more days of rest, Cagalli Yula Athha recovered fully. When she woke up, she was greeted by Shinn, who was beside her. "How are you?"
"Better. The doctor came in a few hours and said I can be discharged today."
"Alright."
"I'm going to the bridge to see what's happening out there."
"I'll come with." Shinn helped Cagalli stand up. As they walked, Shinn popped a question. "How's your piloting?" Taken by surprise, Cagalli answered. "I'm fine… If I need to fight I will. Why do you ask?"
"…because we need more pilots."
"Okay. By the way, is my Akatsuki on board?"
"No, it's on the Archangel."
"Oh… Speaking of the Archangel, any news from them now?
"So far, none."
"I see. Let's hurry. We need to take back ORB before they do anything to my people."
"Cagalli, they already have…" Cagalli bit her lip as she heard Shinn's reply." We still have to do something. There has to be something… We are not going to let them do this!"
"We will. We just need to find the right resources."
"Yeah. We have to gather everyone who's willing to fight alongside us. We must make haste."
Shinn nodded as he and Cagalli head to the locker rooms. Apparently, they have already landed on the PLANTs. Shinn changed to an ORB uniform as Cagalli changed into a custom ORB uniform since her Supreme Commander Suit was damaged and was beyond repair. They met at the bridge and told them that they will meet up with the PLANTs Supreme Council.
They arrived at the conference room where Lacus Clyne was waiting. Lacus hugged her best friend out of concern and smiled at her. She resumed her formal stance. "Lacus. Thank you for meeting us."
"Oh, that's no problem. I heard from Kira. I'm just glad you're safe." She looked at Shinn who was sweating hard. "Thank you, Shinn… for protecting her."
"It was nothing." He said.
"Lacus, first, I want to know. Were you, by any chance, attacked? Or maybe threatened?" Cagalli asked just after they both sat down.
"No. We just know that it's the Blue Cosmos. We also know that they have evolved and gained new members. They are no longer called Blue Cosmos, but the Moon Crusaders."
"Moon Crusaders? Why did they have to change names? I swear those people are war freaks…" She sighed and her dismay was evident.
"Well, you could say that they're the 'children' of Blue Cosmos…"
"Children? As in sons and daughters?"
"No… More like followers who want to continue their legacy…" Lacus said.
"I see…" Cagalli scratched her head as Shinn commented. "Looks like they're not giving up…"
"They also have a new commander. He dons a mask just like Neo-san back then." Lacus added with a hint of worry.
"I heard from Shinn that someone's leading them."
Lacus nodded and added something to her statement. "You may have encountered him already. Reports say that he was piloting the Black Strike Dagger."
"That was him?!" Cagalli stood up in surprise. "We believe that he's just second-in-command though."
"Second, huh? That means someone else is pulling the strings… Damn!" the ORB princess punched the table in frustration.
"But… the only base we know is the one they have in ORB…"
"All the more we have to take back ORB! But, what can we do? I mean, are we powerful enough?" Cagalli looked at Lacus and Shinn who were both waiting for her to calm down.
It was Lacus who answered. "We found something related to them. Do you remember the place where Kira and Mu-san got stranded? It's the lab where your real father worked at…"
"Yeah… Of course… Kira came back… in a trance…"
"Kira did…?" Shinn asked but was not expecting any answer. He was merely shocked to hear it.
"We got reports that people were sighted doing something suspicious a few months back."
"Sightings?"
"People trying to reuse the facility…"
"What?! We have to do something about that!"
"I know you'll say that. I have a mission for your group, that is, if you're willing."
"Yeah. We're going to accept. It's better if I handle this myself. I want to know everything personally."
"Though we won't be able to come with you…"
"It's okay. But, will Kira come?"
"I plan to." Kira came in through the entrance and hugged his sister. "You're… coming?" Cagalli asked as they both broke their hug. "Of course, I'm not letting my sister fight alone."
"Are you the only ZAFT soldier who's going to help us?" Shinn asked. "Dearka's coming too."
"Oh… Uhm… Athrun's not… coming?" The blonde princess was hesitant but she was able to ask her brother. "He was assigned to a different mission…" Lacus replied sadly.
"Alright then… When do we leave?"
"Any time." Kira said. "We'll get ready then… If you'll excuse us…" She said as they left. "Time to get even..." Shinn clenched his fist. Kira and Lacus left the room first, leaving Cagalli behind.
"Uhm… Shinn?" She grabbed Shinn's shirt. "Can I ask you something?" She questioned.
"Shouldn't we be going? Why ask now?" Shinn said.
"Yeah… but… Why? Why are you helping me? Why does it look like you care so much?"
"I don't know." Shinn replied seriously. "O-okay… Let's go… Sorry for the random question…I was just curious…" The ORB princess started to walked but Shinn grabbed her arm and whispered something. "I did it because it's my punishment."
"Punishement?" Cagalli was taken aback. "You don't have to… If you're not okay helping me, then…" She bowed her head down. She was sad that the war happened and she understood Shinn's pain but she doesn't want to force anything on him.
"I… tried to burn down ORB…" He said with tears on his eyes. "I know… but…" Cagalli said gently and was about to hug Shinn from behind but he shrugged it off. "Let's go. The sooner we do it, the better."
"I-I agree…" Cagalli shook her head, pretending that she wasn't about to hug him. She followed Shinn to the hangar. The two saw mobile suits lined up. The Impulse Rouge, Strike Freedom and a number of M1 Astrays.
"The Dominion Mk II is preparing for takeoff." Shinn reminded the blonde girl as they walked more. "Wait, the Dominion?! What…?"
"We can't use the White Whale. They saw it already and it's going to give our location. The Dominion Mk II has a different color scheme and it was secretly made for emergencies."
"Okay. Let's go!" After their preparations were done, the Dominion Mk II and its crew launched into outer space.
As they were nearing the Mendel Colony, Cagalli grabbed a headset and announced their plan of infiltration. "Listen up! As soon was we're within the area, we will send a few mobile suits to survey the area. That way, we'll know what's going on inside. Remember, we need to be as discreet as possible to prevent us being caught. Once we confirm everything, Shinn will sort out in the Impulse Rouge. Am I making myself clear?"
"Yes, Ma'am"
Cagalli clenched her fists and said, " We WILL take back ORB… at all costs…"
