Phase 9 – The Battles of Boaz
Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Seed and most of my ideas came from the Dark Destiny Series that I am helping to produce, some characters from Dark Destiny may appear and changes will occur compared to the original series and Dark Destiny.
21st September, 3:00pm; Space Fortress: Boaz, Meeting Room
Maz sighed as he leaned back on the leather sofa near the wall of the room while his relatives planned and plotted to take over ZAFT and later the world as a whole, thus far Rau Le Creuset had even given nuclear jamming countermeasures to the Earth Alliance thereby allowing the weakened Superpower to regain strength through the usage of nuclear based weaponry that worried the Coordinators should the news become public, even PLANT Supreme Chairman Patrick Zala didn't know about the nukes as only the Newtype community had kept the information tied up. Krane himself had argued at Rau for the idea of causing such an issue on the human race and even feared the complete destruction of the universe, Krane however had been working on a little project as a means to combating the Astral visitors in the near future, Krane was really busy as of late with the entire of the ZAFT Forces and Dark Celestials being amassed at Jachin and Boaz for the incoming OMNI attacks.
"We have details that OMNI will be sending a few fleets here tomorrow and follow up with their main attack the day afterwards" muttered Kasien as he stood with his arms crossed while he considered tactics.
"We are to abandon Boaz on the main combat day, they will use their Peacemaker Force then, make sure the reports are made to those in ZAFT fully loyal to us" announced Jaime with a grin as he overlooked the map with a sigh, his own personal Mobile Suite had been finished, he just needed to make use of it now.
"Very well, your Majesty" bowed James with a smirk before nudging his pilots towards the exit which they decisively followed him out of.
4:30pm; Cuzco-Class Heavy Destroyer: Harold, Hanger
"So, Krane gave us these Mobile Suites for our own usage, this is excellent" smirked Jaime as he stood looking up at the two Mobile Suites "two Custom Prototypes for the "New Millennium" series, I chose this one while you have that one!"
"Are you sure, the one you have designated me is the more Space Dynamic of the two, shouldn't the prince be the one to wield such a weapon?" asked Mizzen Raiser as he looked at the Prince he had been chosen to guard.
"Not so, the unit I have picked has been specially customised for my own usage, it even has a nickname" smirked Jaime Hibiki as he looked at his knight "the Resolute Gundam…you seem displeased with its name?"
"A Gundam is a unit with the OS that has experimental or Superior weaponry compared to most Mass Produced units, they are inverted as Command Units or Ace piloted, that ZAKU Trial Type frame does not belong to a Gundam" muttered Mizzen and Jaime shrugged with a grin.
"It's a step forwards I guess, all I have to do is make Krane trust me enough, then my darling older brother will built me a Custom Gundam" shrugged Jaime as he walked towards the hanger exit with a wave behind him.
"Let's just hope you don't run away with yourself, like usual!" scowled Mizzen before he too followed out of the hanger after the Prince.
Meanwhile; Aprilius One: VIP Area, Krane's Mansion
Krane stopped his Black Porsche just outside the entrance to his house and nodded as a servant stepped forwards to take the Sports Car off his hands while Krane gave a look as though to say 'you damage my car and I'll crush your head in my bare hands' or some such along those lines, Krane was immediately met by Andras as he entered into the entrance hallway where he walked towards the door into the living room while completely ignoring his loyalist Commander, after Krane had settled himself in his favourite leather chair did he look up at Andras who had raised his eyebrow in unspoken question at Krane's ignorance.
"Your in a bad mood?" asked Andras and Krane shrugged with a huff at the thoughts going through his head "Patrick Zala doing one of his rants again?"
"He is swiftly outliving his usefulness" scowled Krane as he looked over at the doorway where his bodyguards stood emotionless while hiding all time for near instant kill weaponry "the only good he was for, is promoting war, however his leadership skills have something to be desired"
"What should be done about him?" asked Andras which caused Krane to shrug with lack of interest.
"Nothing as of yet, you are to take care of Vega while I am gone, I will be going to sortie to go to Trios Station!" announced Krane and then he was gone, Trios Station was an OMNI Enforcer's supply Base in L2, it was hidden within the Moon's Shadow and had a reinforcement fleet awaiting for the attack on Boaz to succeed, if destroyed it would damage OMNI's War effort that much more.
"Wait…Vega?" asked Andras curiously and Krane turned his head to look at him for only a moment.
"He is my adopted son" explained Krane and as he walked out a silverette walked in with a bounce in his step, he looked about fifteen.
22nd September, 2:00am; L2: Trios Station, Battlefield
Krane dodged the Black Providence between the duel beams of an Agamemnon-Class before Krane fired fifty five beam from its own artillery which pierced multiple locations on those ships before the ships exploded, Krane activated the Composite Shield mounted Large Beam Sabre before slashing through the bridge of a Drake-Class escort ship, Krane launched the Beam Reamers from his Mobile Suite's hips which slammed into the bridge of two Drake-Classes while he deactivated the lock on all his DRAGOONs and sent them flying at the enemy Mobile Suites, before the 105 Daggers and Strike Daggers could shoot down the Pods they were instead shot down by the sea of green beams emanating from the Wireless weapons.
"Pathetic" snarled Krane as he dodged to the side before firing his MA-M20 "Lupus" high-energy beam rifle at another 105 Dagger causing it to explode in purple flame, Krane dodged three times as beams rained down around him and he smirked as he saw upgraded versions of the Moebius Zero's DRAGOON Pods, Krane activated his Large Beam Sabre and blocked most of the beams with a simple swipe.
"Krane Hibiki, I presume!?" questioned a voice as a heavily upgraded golden coloured Moebius Zero came to a stop, it seemed to be nuclear powered.
"Indeed, what manner of beast is this? Why wasn't I informed of the existence of such a lovely specimen?" questioned Krane tauntingly as his eyes looked over the structural design of the Custom Moebius and he could imagine the enemy pilot wielding an annoyed eye twitch as Krane dodged around the Wired Gunbarrels which began to spear green beams down upon him however Krane managed to turn at the last moment to fire at one of the Gunbarrels.
"Stay still and die, Newtype!" snarled OMNI Ace: Infinity as he continued to bombard the area Krane was dodging through, he gasped when the Large Beam Saber cut through one of the Gunbarrels.
"You know what the weakness is for OMNI Aces, like yourself, too cocky and arrogant!" laughed Krane as his DRAGOONs shot down the remaining Gunbarrels "when there is no reason for you to be, you may have a Newtype sense far more powerful than my own however you have been training it with OMNI meaning you know not your full potential, also by Newtype Law that binds all Newtypes allow me to gain your power once I defeat and/or kill you!"
"Your cocky also, you're like the Coordinators, always looking down on us on Earth!" snarled Infinity and Krane laughed as he shot off the Moebius Infinity's Compact "Valiant Mk.8" 11cm linear cannon with precise ease.
"My cockiness is though superior training and tactical leadership, even if I am the only one on this battlefield, I have already planned out ten moves ahead with ten contingencies for each move" laughed Krane as he dodged the "Agni" 320mm hyper impulse beam cannon shots as well as the shots from the equipped 57mm high-energy beam rifles as they tracked Krane across the nearby space "something even your high brass won't be able to understand!"
"Where is your power coming from?" asked Infinity as fear screamed before him, he pulled the Moebius Infinity back at the right moment, he spared his 57mm high-energy beam rifles however the "Agni" 320mm hyper impulse beam cannons were not so lucky, Krane moved quickly as he kicked the Moebius Infinity towards the Nuclear Fuel Depot before firing his beam rifle at the instillation, the whole area exploded causing the destruction of the OMNI Fleet and Reinforcements, finally the Moebius Infinity was the final one to be caught in the nuclear explosion.
"Hmm, that was quite a power up, all those life energies flowing into me" sighed Krane as he reversed thrust and headed back towards the PLANTs as he needed to plan its defence "it goes to show, however, that OMNI doesn't stand a chance"
11:00am; Outside Space Fortress: Boaz, Battlefield
Jaime grinned as his unit spat green fire from its MMI-M633 beam assault rifle which caused the nearest wave of Strike Daggers to explode, Jaime dodged a few green spears of energy before moving clean out of the firing line as Mizzen fired the shoulder mounted Long Range Beam Cannon of his DOM Cannon Prototype which obliterated a line of Strike Daggers that were chasing a withdrawing Laurasia-Class as the tactical field of battled called for its withdrawal so that it could be stationed elsewhere, the Laurasia-Class showed its thanks by obliterating a Nelson-Class at its next objective. Jaime's ZAKU Trial Type Custom which he had nicknamed the Resolute Gundam launched itself at the nearest 105 Sword Striker Dagger unit that had been sent with Phantom Pain forces before slashing out with his Elbow attached Anti-Phase Shift Blade which cut off one arm, the 105 Sword Striker Dagger drew its "Schwert Gewehr" 15.78 meter Anti-Ship Sword however before it got the chance for a second swing after Jaime had dodged around the first, the Knee attached Anti-Phase Shift Blade came up and gouged itself deep into the Laminated armour that the tip produced on the right side and Jaime managed to kick the 105 Dagger off before it exploded soon after.
"Die already!" commanded Maz as he dodged the shots of a Nelson-Class before slashing all the way through its bridge with the Anti-Phase Shift Katar, he dodged back as Kasien in the Millicent fired the "Agni" 320mm hyper impulse beam cannon which pierced all the way through the Nelson-Class, Kasien went on then to fire at another Nelson-Class with his "Scylla" 580mm multi-phase energy cannon, after the destruction of the Nelson-Class its Drake-Class escort could only watch in horror as the "Scylla" shot literally bended and pierced through its own hull moments before its structure collapsed to the destructive energy.
"The Enemy force will retreat soon, they will need all the forces they can spare for the attack on Boaz tomorrow, this just gives us time to prepare our Evac!" announced Jaime as he slashed through a Strike Dagger with the Beam Sabre on his MA-MV05A composite armed shield system.
"Agreed, all forces, this is the moment to counterattack!" announced Mizzen as he charged in with a group of GuAIZ and GINNs, two GINNs fired their M66 "Canus" Short-Range Guided Missile Launcher which slammed into the bridge of a Nelson-Class and another into the bridge of a Agamemnon-Class which both exploded readily, one GuAIZ grappled with a Strike Dagger before stabbing the torso and stomach of the Strike Dagger with the Duel Beam Claw on the Composite Shield; moments later the new counteroffensive forces the OMNI 12th Fleet to withdraw.
5:00pm; Space Fortress: Boaz, Ship Hanger 1
"We are being sent elsewhere, huh?" asked Kasien as he paced towards the ship his team had been given.
"Indeed, my Team are to head for Meteor City, there is a high probability that an OMNI Fleet would bypass an attack on the PLANTs and make course for the Homeland of the Dark Celestials" commented Jaime with a smirk as he leaned against a container "either way, it seems that all Naval Vessels are withdrawing to the PLANTs with Krane sending certain Fleets of Dark Celestial Ships between either the PLANTs or Meteor City, even if the base structure of this Fortress is destroyed we will be able to rebuild!"
"The Archangel and its allies will attack us at the PLANTs, I bet Maz can't wait to see his boyfriend again, right?" asked Richard as he crossed over to them while Maz muttered something along the lines of "Ass Hole".
"How was your recognisance, is the escape route clear?" asked Jaime and Richard nodded slightly "good, we'll head out as one large Armada, then we will begin to break off into two groups, from there I will lead a Force to Meteor City while the rest of you head for the PLANTs!"
23rd September, 12:05pm; Aprilius One: Government Building, Military Operation Observation Room
"I expect that the Naturals are now going to put on some interesting fireworks" commented Shane as he leaned against the nearest wall causing Ezalia to glare at him.
"I wonder…" announced Rau aloud and those gathered turned or looked towards him.
"Yes, go ahead, Le Creuset" nodded Patrick Zala as he looked at Rau while Krane moved to stand beside Rau.
"Getting past Boaz is no easy task and I'm sure the Earth Forces are well aware of that, I can't imagine them attacking if they knew it was totally hopeless, yet their suddenly making their move…I can't help wondering why" commented Rau as he made hand gestures.
"Him…he's there…" muttered Krane darkly and Rau spun to look at Krane surprised.
Meanwhile; Near Space Fortress Boaz, Battlefield
"Hahahahaha!" laughed Icaria as he fired using his "Aufprall Dreizehn" high-energy beam cannons that spat crimson fire across the entire of space before him causing Laurasia-Classes and GINNs of the Boaz Defence Force to explode with a large flash, a GINN HM Type 2 charged behind him however he was a blur as he dodged around the GINN before stabbing it through with a Beam Sabre.
12:20pm; Aprilius One: Government Building, Military Operation Observation Room
"I wouldn't worry, they are probably attacking with regular Mobile Suites and a few New Models, humph…their fooling themselves if they think those Forces will defeat us" calmed Ezalia as she spoke towards Krane and Rau.
"Yes, let us hope so" countered Rau calmly and Patrick Zala spun around.
"What is it do you mean, Le Creuset, tell me!" commanded Patrick and Rau moved to do so.
"I'm not quite sure what we're dealing with here, but as you are aware there is a number of wild cards at play, dangerous to say the least" muttered Rau and then Krane spoke up.
"The Freedom, The Justice and The Revelation, these are of which we speak and I should know…they were designed to be Trump Cards for all Coordinators and Newtypes" commented Krane with a slight smirk when he saw understanding in Patrick's eyes "also…Lacus Clyne"
"What!?" questioned Patrick in disbelief "are you serious!? You're saying, that our enemies, have somehow managed to regain their Nuclear Capabilities!!?"
"No, sir, it hardly seems possible but…" answered Rau and Krane chuckled.
"Anything is possible, everything is permitted, right?" commented Krane and Ezalia shuddered at what it entailed, the group continued to watch the battle and gasped when Nuclear explosions echoed all across Boaz's surface, both Krane and Rau smiled for a second before their smirks faded.
"Damn those Natural Scum!" yelled Patrick "Krane, what of the Stampeder that you were building at Meteor City, is it completed!?"
"It is while the second isn't located at the PLANTs isn't completed and so cannot be used, however I have no way to get it here in time for the coming battle, also it will be required to protect Meteor City or risk the chance of a Nuclear attack on my kind's heads!" announced Krane and Patrick looked panicked.
"You're Excellency!?" announced Ezalia as she stepped forwards but Krane also took a step forwards to speak.
"There is something, here at the PLANTs unlike the Stampeder here that is unfinished, that can turn the tables once again" muttered Krane and Ezalia glared at the way he was treating it as though it were a game, before mentally dropping the subject, Krane was invincible in tactics.
"Set up a defensive line, Hibiki, Le Creuset!" commanded Patrick and both Krane and Rau went to an attention.
"Sir!" said both Krane and Rau in unison.
"I'm going to Jachin Due, we'll strike back…" announced Patrick as he looked at Krane who nodded slightly "with GENESIS!!"
"Sir" nodded Rau while he grinned inwards evilly.
