Chapter 1 – The Luna Stations
Disclaimer: As I've said before I do not own GS/GSD and some characters in this Fic belong to Gundam Seed Dark Destiny as I've said before (I hate disclaimers), in this story other than Krane and a few members of the Dark Celestials including their Mobile Suite designs nothing belongs to me.
20th September, C.E. 74, 9:30am; Aprilius One: Government Building, Throne Room
Krane sighed as he looked at the Paperwork that had piled up over the night, as Emperor there were many things that needed the Emperor's allowance, at the top of the list however were the Dark Oni and ZAKU Knight production line for the regular ZAFT Military, fortunately Krane took more interest in such permission forms rather than economical papers even though they were as necessary as his speeches, this didn't however mean that he didn't sign them but they did bore him even if he gave it his fullest attention. Krane was distracted from his work by a large amount of cooing on his table which he smiled as he looked at baby Deus who stared at his father with humour in his eyes or what seemed to be humour, Krane smirked at the child before tickling him with a single finger causing the baby to wriggle while giggling, the baby's hair was golden yet crimson which was rare while his eyes were dark brown. It seemed that this next generation of Newtype Royalty, thanks to the Newtype Gemini Effect would not only be powerful but a new race of Pureblood Newtypes that Royal Pureblood DNA could not be tainted no matter how many people it crossed over with.
"Your majesty" stated a voice and Krane looked up to be met with the loyal gaze of Goud Vair "I have come as you requested"
"Excellent, now, we simply need to await Cecile's arrival before I can begin" smirked Krane as he got back to writing his signature "until then, both you and I, are to wait"
"But she won't be returning for resupply until tomorrow, this is her One-hundred and Fiftieth journey, I assume that they are making head way" pondered Goud while playing with Deus who he lifted into his arms.
"She is, the Celestial Solar Cannon has run into some delays however it should be operational on the next journey, the one on our side is also almost complete" pointed out Krane with his pen "the Mars 1 through to Mars 4 Stations will be produced not long after with small Mars 'Towns' located over the surface for mining, once they are forced into real-time production unlike the slow rate they are now, we'll be able to speed up our plans dramatically"
"I see, what about Luna One, there have been problems" pondered Goud aloud and Krane scowled as he knew where this was going.
"It seems I may have to pay Nicholas a Visit at Luna Four, he seems to be having difficulty, even though I left him in charge of the development there with much success thus far" sighed Krane as he stood and walked behind his throne to get past the desk "what news from South America?"
"We have gained control of Peru and Ecuador, our forces are swarming the boarder and all South American Independent Forces in the area, regardless it seems we have our foothold in South America!" announced Goud with a salute after Krane had taken Deus off his hands "as I speak, your Majesty, Madam Rough has moved her forces to take point while the Cimmeria has taken an orbit observation"
"Ah. How is the Hydra-Class holding up?" asked Krane while making a motion with his free hand to allow Goud to drop to an at ease stance, baby Deus had already fallen asleep in Krane's arms which allowed Krane to relax a bit.
"The new Transatmospheric Assault ship is impressive, do you believe, that it will be placed into mass production?" asked Goud and Krane nodded.
"It was originally designed so that it could carry a hundred Mobile Dolls and launch them in quick succession, this Rewloola-Class Battleship was designed from the legendary Eternal-Class, also Rough's Spear Providence Custom is the command unit" sighed Krane as he looked at a large holographic screen after pushing a button on his desk "the Rewloola-Class is a battle assault ship that can double as an attack force Flagship, the ability to launch a hundred weapons in quick succession, is nothing to look down on in this era of war"
"Then you would like to adventure into Mass Production at a later date, of course, for our maiden voyage into the Milky Way" smirked Goud and Krane nodded, it would only be a matter of time before Neo-ZAFT made their economic dawn.
Meanwhile; L7 - Gwadan-Class Large Battleship: Gwadan (II), Bridge
"It'll take about a day to traverse through the Asteroid Belt and arrive at L6/L5 boarder, from there our run to the PLANTs will be an hour away" announced the original Captain of the Eternal-Class Battleship Variation: Gwadan (I).
"I understand, what news of our cargo, do you think there will be any disturbances?" questioned Cecile and the Captain shook his head.
"No disturbances, the entire cargo of 5000 Mega tonnes of Gundanium Ore will make it to the PLANTs, that you can bet on it!" announced the Captain with a Cocky smirk which caused Cecile to sigh.
"Lady Cecile, I have a message from my brother…the Emperor, he says he wants to meet you and Goud at Meteor City in two days!" announced Judice as he stepped towards his Commander "it's about Deus!"
"That little runt, what's wrong with him, is he injured!?" questioned Cecile worried as she turned towards Judice to interrogate him about his nephew.
"Unknown" shrugged Judice however that caused Cecile to dive in like a mother hen, the Captain couldn't help but sigh at the argument that had developed behind him as the Commander and the Clone of a Royal continued to argue.
21st September, 1:30pm; Endymion: Luna 3, Mobile Doll Factory
Krane looked about the Mobile Doll Factory and nodded at the work that was being done as Nickolas led Krane through his level, Nickolas had said something about the factory being about a year ahead of schedule with the predicted Mobile Doll production rate and Krane had to admit that they were making heavy progress over a short amount of time, Krane needed an army of these Mobile Dolls for his forces to easily destroy all opposition to his empire which seemed to be easier than Krane had previously forecast.
"As you can see, your majesty, you have left this project in good hands" smiled Nickolas but quaked when Krane finally looked at him directly.
"Really, it's good you believe so, but I'm not impressed" scowled Krane as he continued to glare at his Steward "care to explain, why Luna One is not finished, having a day off maybe!?"
"Your majesty, I was assured that the Mobile Dolls were your top priority!" gasped Nickolas and Krane's eyes seemed to glow in fury.
"Are you saying that I would put my army before my people!?" yelled Krane as he glared daggers into Nickolas' eyes before adding sarcastically "once again, your keen sense of perseption, is astounding!"
"Forgive me, your majesty, I will reverse this failure as soon as possible" bowed Nickolas before being dismissed by Krane, Krane half of the time wondered why he kept that idiot around.
6:00pm; Pre-Minerva-Class Heavy Battleship: Varda, Bridge
"I hear there was a lot of yelling in your meeting, I assume everything is not going to plan?" asked Renaldo and Krane shrugged.
"Yes and no, the Mobile Doll Factory has been producing Mobile Dolls for awhile, it's just come at the cost of ignoring the City that needs to be built" growled Krane as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"Hence people do not have homes, they are therefore not having a really happy and peaceful life, therefore you become less of a happy chappy" smirked Renaldo as he deduced Krane's personality after years of serving with him, in all truth bare some words, it seemed that Renaldo was right on the money.
"Where's Shane!?" questioned Krane as he pondered where the young berserker was.
"All I know are rumours, like he took his Gundam, from there they say he is in Hawaii" shrugged Renaldo and smirked when he heard Krane muttering: 'Damn it, Shane, if I didn't love you I'd kill you for this insubordination!!' before Krane calmed right back down.
"How long to Meteor City?" questioned Krane and Renaldo counted in his head.
"About 13 to 15 hours from now, we really can be rushed these days, we're no longer at the risk of every part of space being a Battlefield" shrugged Renaldo and Krane nodded.
"Very well, than my own predictions were correct, the meeting between me, Goud and Cecile will go according to plan" pondered Krane but sighed "make all speed for Meteor City, its time I went up in the lift, I'm returning to Neo-Atlantis!"
"Yes, your majesty!" saluted Renaldo before concentrating on how to get back to Meteor City.
The upper levels of the Meteor City PLANT were a large dome compared to the other upper half of PLANTs, in size it was worth Eleven Junius Seven remains added together making it huge in comparison to other PLANTs. Three entire sectors out of Eleven of Meteor City's upper level were cities built out of Gundanium and were the areas that attached the City of Neo-Atlantis to the main body of Meteor City, near the lift sector at the centre of Neo-Atlantis that was the entrance way from Meteor City's main body stood a large mountain that overlooked the entire of Neo-Atlantis City, on the raised ground that started where half of Neo-Atlantis touched the added city were the VIP and Nobility section of the City and at the top of the mountain sat the white and gold Castle of the Newtypes. The Castle was built on a shelf that leaned out from the mountain peak and looked down on the entire of the remaining City, the Castle was huge and most of the skyscrapers that made up the main Atlantis City that lay separated from the Nobility by a small City of Gundanium, the skyscrapers were made of mostly an unknown silver alloy and some gold while the Nobility Mansions and large buildings based in the Castle's direction were made up highly of a unknown golden alloy but also had some silver mixed in for the VIP and guests. To get to the Castle one had to go through the entire hill rise from beside the mountain and go entirely up the back of the mountain, from there they simply follow the road until they reached the large courtyard at the front of the mansion, Krane had also created Gundanium bulkheads for each building so that if there were a leak of oxygen or the PLANT were to be destroyed then Neo-Atlantis would survive with air tight buildings.
Info - In the Next Chapter, I promise the return of the Fallen, but what I'm interested in is the united Plan between Krane and Rau for the defence of Humanity. Review!
