Note: Greetings, reader! I am back with a new chapter of Code Gundam Musou. It's been a while since I've done a chapter for this story.
This will be a short chapter as I will be restricted on time to write new chapters for the next few months.
Chapter 9 Time Fly By Pt.1
Mu La Flaga is a man who can honestly say he lived an eventful life. He once served the Earth Alliance as one of its top pilots whose skills and feats can only be matched by other ace pilots worthy of about the same amount of recognition.
He is after all, one of the ace pilots that could take on a mobile suit with a mobile armor quite well. The main reasons that the Earth Alliance could hold out against the superior mobile suit forces of Zaft were their greater populations and resources.
He lived through the Bloody Valentine War which his comrades thought he was dead during the final battles. For good reason too, it's not every day that anyone would survive getting blasted by a Lohenrin positron cannon shot by taking it on in a mobile suit with just a shield though it was a Gundam.
His survival helped him stayed true to his personal belief in making the impossible possible. However, his survival also led to him being brainwashed by Logos who helped to create the Blue Cosmos in the first place. He was given a new persona known as Neo Roanoke who was similar to Rau Le Creuset but without the insanity that the Zaft ace pilot exhibited.
Against the beliefs of his true identity, he gladly took part in the Second Bloody Valentine War as a leader of a specialized unit utilizing trained, young, and brainwashed teenage soldiers as ace pilots.
Eventually, he would be defeated by the Archangel group and get taken in by them as a prisoner first. After deciding to fight alongside them, Mu La Flaga regained his memories of his true self and told his lover, Murrue Ramius, that he will never leave her side again.
To this day, he will stay true to his promise even if a giant Gundam thought otherwise. Of course, he happened to be facing one right now in his Akatsuki Gundam along with his partner, Elle Vianno.
The Psycho Gundam fired five yellow beams at Elle's Gundam Mk II from the gun barrels of its fingers. Mu blocked the beam with the Akatsuki's body as the beams deflected due to the "Yata-no-Kagami" system that covered the entire body of the Gundam with a specialized mirror coating.
Mu La Flaga was always ecstatic about this particular feature of the Akatsuki Gundam. He considered it the greatest anti-thesis for mobile suits against range beam weapons everywhere. It also doesn't need to be powered to use which made it much more useful than Phase Shift Armor.
Unfortunately, the drawback was that Akatasuki Gundam is vulnerable against physical attacks just as much as any mobile suit that didn't utilizes the Phase Shift Armor.
Well, like any laidback person, Mu La Flaga didn't mind it since the Gundam was already powerful and unique in its own way.
"Are you alright?!" Elle asked in concern.
"Don't worry; all beams reflect off the armor this Gundam excluding close-range type, beam weapons of course." The ace pilot replied.
He fired his mobile suit's beam rifle at the Psycho Gundam. A light yellow aura flared slightly as the beam dissipated hit it directly.
"Looks like this thing is built with a similar defense to the Akatsuki in mind, this is gonna be a bit more troublesome than I thought." Mu stated.
He repeated firing at the same spot a few more times to see if there was any effect. The yellow barrier flared up upon each hit from a separate beam. He fired the pair of high-energy beam cannons on the Oowashi pack for a more hopeful effect.
The beam had the same result as the last few ones except this time; the yellow barrier was much fainter in the same spot he shot at repeatedly.
Sensing this, the Psycho Gundam immediately fired the three large gun barrels on its chest at him to end his life.
Having not learned for it mistake yet, the three large beams of light reflected of the Akatsuki Gundam.
Elle Vianno took advantage of this moment to score a direct hit in from behind with her Gundam's clay bazooka. She shot a round at the back of the larger Gundam's head before shooting another round into the back of its left knee.
The result was successful as the Psycho Gundam stumbled a bit as it regained its footing. It aimed at the Gundam Mk II with one its hands outstretched and fired five beams simultaneously.
Elle reacted by rolling out of the way on the large fighter it's currently riding as the Akatsuki come striking down with it twin-sided beam saber. The golden Gundam slashed the joint in its shoulder before it flew back.
There was a long burned gash at where the wound was. Needless to say, the sentient Gundam was not amused at its recent wound.
It moved its left arm much slower due to the wound to get a feel of the damage. It decided to retaliate by charging all available weapons at its disposal. It aimed all beam gun barrels at the Mk II as bright light began to gather up around the front of the massive Gundam.
"Shit! Get out of the way kid!" Mu La Flaga ordered his partner as he dashed forward at the enemy Gundam and stabbed his beam saber into its back. He dragged his beam saber up and down to make a large enough hole.
Too late to be stopped from firing, multiple beams of yellow all launched out at the Gundam Mk II.
The young female pilot swerved her Gundam to the right to avoid the beams.
However, there were too many beams to dodge as the fighter was shot down along with the Mk II's right leg.
"Aaah!" Elle screamed from the direct assault as her Gundam plummeted down to the ground.
The Psycho Gundam aimed again to finish the job while ignoring its other attacker.
"Oh no you don't!" The ace pilot aimed the Akatsuki's beam cannons right in front of the hole it made in the Psycho's back moments ago. He fired the weapons at pointblank, erupting in an internal explosion as the massive enemy Gundam fell down on its left knee and arms down.
Smoke was pouring from the blasted hole in its back.
"Offensive weapon system damaged. Mega Particle Gun is currently offline. Connection to remaining armaments disrupted. Priority changed; switching to City Siege protocol immediately to complete the mission." The damaged Gundam stated as energy started to build up in its body.
"City Siege protocol?" Mu questioned warily. A warning appeared on the screen in the Akatsuki's cockpit.
"What the hell?! It's going to detonate!" The pilot of the golden Gundam exclaimed in disbelief at the rising level of energy in the damaged Psycho Gundam. "Dammit, I gotta get her out of there!"
He pushed forward at full-throttle for his downed teammate as the Gundam Mk II was kneeling due to the loss of its right leg. "Kid, grab on! That thing's gonna blow!" Mu ordered as his Gundam held out an arm to grab on to.
"Are you kidding me?! That thing's obviously a sore loser." Elle nonetheless complied as the Mk II grabbed on to the Akatsuki's outstretched hand.
The two immediately flew out of the area with the Mk II hanging onto the Akatsuki's hand for dear life.
The Psycho Gundam exploded in a fiery burst of light that reached out and engulfed around 100 meters of the area.
Despite pushing the thrusters on the Akatsuki to the max, the two Gundams did not escape without getting pushed away by the force of the explosion that managed to at least touch them a little.
The Akatsuki lost its balance in mid-air before it steadied itself with the Mk II hanging on for dear life.
Panting, Mu took the moment to check the surrounding with for any remaining threat.
None turned out on his screen.
"You alright there kid?" He asked his current partner.
"I'm fine and stop calling me kid." Elle replied annoyed.
"Hehe sorry, but I'm twice your own age. You're a kid in my book until you're 21." He said not so apologetically with small laugh.
"Anyway, that Psycho Gundam was a surprise wasn't it? What is one of these things doing all the way out here?" He asked as his voice took on a more serious tone.
"I don't have a clue, but it must have to do with that terrorist we're chasing after, right? There should be no one in this world with access to that weapon anyway. The mission briefing did say he came from the Anno Domini timeline with Gundams using GN Drives." The young girl replied.
"We need to check with the others. I'm confident they'll be okay, but it doesn't help to make sure they're safe." He said as the Akatsuki moved toward the sounds of two more explosions occurring far away.
"Looks, like the fighting ended. C'mon, let's go." The golden mobile suit flew toward the area of the new explosion.
"Hello? Have you forgotten that I'm practically hanging on for dear life with a missing leg on my mobile suit?" She asked irritated.
"If you are okay enough to be sassy then you're okay enough to go." Mu retorted back a slight humor in his voice.
The two Gundams flew in silent as Mu decided to ask a question.
"You're upset that the enemy got you like this aren't you?" He asked.
"What?! No, that guy just got lucky that's all." Elle replied half-heartedly.
"It's fine to be a little frustrated with a little injury like that. Those mobile armors are a threat on a whole new scale. Your Gundam isn't exactly equipped to take on a powerhouse like that. No use getting more frustrated than you need to be." Mu told her.
Elle sighed. "I know that myself already, it's just I want to help out the guys as much as I can."
"I can see what you mean. I knew a kid in my crew who only fought to keep everyone on my ship safe. Kid was Kira Yamato and he turned into a fine person for his age. I can see that you care about your friends very much. That's a good thing; just remember that as one of your main goals and you'll do fine."
"Alright, alright dad. Just stop lecturing me." She said with a huff.
"With our looks, I could pass off as your dad anyway." He said with a laugh.
"Oh shut it!"
Code Gundam Musou
A familiar pink-haired girl walked toward Ashford Academy under her disguise to make sure nobody figures out her identity right away. It has been a few days since she had seen her precious friends and her very much precious siblings. It was understandable considering she thought they were dead for at least seven years.
It was a painful experience for her. They were one of the few people that truly cared for her as a person. This group included her sister, Cornelia, for obvious reasons, Odysseus, and Schneizel from the Royal Family of Britannia.
She liked Odysseus since he was actually genuinely kind to her as other members of the Royal Family only faked being nice to her as they only cared about themselves. However, there are times when she found her older half-brother… boring. The man never seemed to change as if he's a puppet with only one role to play.
There was Schneizel who never really desired the throne as the others have. Like Cornelia, the man actually does truly worked for the betterment of the Britannian Empire as a whole. He contributed greatly to the Britannian Military by funding a special research division known as Camelot headed by the eccentric genius, Lloyd Asplund.
Other than them, there were a few others that were decent people in the Royal Family that she got along with. She can't wait to spend time with Lelouch and Nunnally again! Oh, all the fun and lost time they have to make up for.
Euphemia remembered the meeting quite clearly and about the file that Ribbons Almark had handed to her in a flash drive. She didn't have to look over a quarter of the information hidden in the small device to be shocked at what she learned about.
One thing she found out about was the Geass Directorate who had been training children into personal soldiers using a special power called Geass that varied from user to user. She had become enraged at the lack ethics the members employed in their work. She could never condone training children to become killers.
It also freaked her out about learning that her father also possessed this power as well. She wondered just how many people are running around the globe with this kind of power. It's not really comforting to know that there are these people with dangerous powers working almost unnoticed in the shadows.
She became more wary of the Britannian government when the files mentioned that the secret organization placed Geass holders as agents or in positions of power to solidify its control of Britannia.
'It's such a sad thing to see people abusing this much power for the wrong things in life. The Ragnarok plan is truly an abomination for it truly renders the concepts of life and death meaningless. The plan practically spitted on the sacrifices of everyone who strived to make the world a better place.' The princess thought sadly.
While the princess is in her thoughts while walking to Ashford Academy, she failed to notice the five men in the disguise of average people tailing her. These are agents that replaced the previous ones after their… traumatizing experience if the looks on their faces were anything to go by.
The previous agents were returned to the capital building staring off into nothing and repeating the words "what, what, what." No matter what help they sought out, they could not find out what made them like this.
Duo laughed loudly all of a sudden as if he remembered a very funny joke.
"Man, those guys' reactions were priceless." He said to himself.
The five secret bodyguards continued tailing her and realized that she was heading toward the renowned Ashford Academy which puzzled them quite a bit.
Is the princess here to visit a friend? They shook off that thought as they didn't know anyone worth knowing would be associated with her highness in the school.
As the princess went through the front gate of the academy, the leader of the small group halted the others and ordered them to stay back. He deemed it would be necessary to inform Viceroy Cornelia of this little development first and then continued their duty with just observing the princess from afar.
Unfortunately, their little bird-watching was about to be ruined by a certain ninja maid that Lelouch and his sister is fond of. It didn't take too long for Sayoko to knock them out silently one by one.
She chided them mentally for peeping on private matters.
Euphie went to the same building that the meeting took place. She figured that it would likely the first place Lelouch and Nunnally would be at.
She rang the doorbell one time then waited patiently.
"Wait just a moment!" She heard a voice from inside the building.
A couple of seconds passed by before she heard footsteps draw neared to the door.
A click was heard as the door was opened by a boy about Euphie's age. The boy had light blonde hair and had the facial appearance of nobility without the snobbish air that nobles commonly exude.
"Oh, Euphie it's you again! I didn't expect to see you again so soon." Quatre said politely.
"Did you come here for a visit?" He asked.
Euphie nodded. "I wanted to visit Lelouch and Nunnally. I wanted to make up for lost time and see my adorable little sister!"
Quatre chuckled at this. "Of course, Lelouch did describe you as possibly the friendliest girl besides Nunnally in this world. I'm glad to see that there are good people that they know very well in the Royal Family."
"Anyway, please come in. I am sure that Nunnally and Lelouch would be just as happy to spend a little time with a precious friend." Quatre gestured for her to come inside.
"Thank you, Mr. Winner."
"Just Quatre is fine."
"By the way, I noticed something a few days ago." Quatre stated. "It seemed that you and Heero are quite acquainted from the way you talked with each other."
Euphie nodded happily. "We met a few weeks ago as he became one of my newest friends in a while."
"I take it by 'a while' that you mean that you don't often have real friends around that much?" Quatre questioned.
Euphie blinked, not expecting that statement. "Urgh well, most people I met were only polite to me because of my status as a Britannian Princess and never wanted to know me as just myself. It's hard finding someone who cares for who you are. That's why my sister, Lelouch, and Nunnally are close to me."
Quatre simply smiled at this. "I can see where you're getting at. At times life can be difficult, but it's worth overcoming those obstacles that lead to a much better life."
"Wow, you're wise for someone your age." Euphie said in astonishment.
The young man smiled sheepishly. "Despite being a soldier, I am actually someone who believes in pacifism. I always believe in trying to settle things peacefully before a situation could get violent." He admitted sincerely to her.
Euphie smiled in approval at this. "I wished that more leaders could think the same way as you do. There would fewer wars if it was like that."
Quatre nodded in agreement before a thought came across his mind. "I almost forgot to ask. What do you think of Heero personally?" He asked curiously.
Euphie slightly turned her head away shyly. "Well, I think he is a good person despite how seemed at first glance."
"How did you two personally meet anyway? I don't remember Heero ever saying he met a new friend before."
Euphie pointed her index fingers together a little. "Well, he kinda saved me from when I fell out of the window." She said shyly and embarrassedly.
"Wait, what?!" Quatre looked at her disbelievingly. "Why were you falling in the first place?" He asked incredulously.
Euphie became quieter. "W-well… you see… I wanted get away from my home once in a while and explore. So in order to leave quietly… I jumped out the window." She admitted as her cheeks flushed in embarrassment.
Quatre could only gape at her for a moment before laughing awkwardly at the girl's reason for falling out of the window.
"Hehehe… that is one way to leave the home I guess." He tried to make her feel better.
"I know I didn't exactly think through about how I was gonna land safely." Euphie muttered quietly.
They walked inside and entered a room where Lelouch and Nunnally are currently watching some videos of cats online on a laptop.
"Hahaha, Lelouch look at that cat crawling on the floor. Look at its cute face." Nunnally exclaimed.
Lelouch smiled serenely at her before answering her. "I know the cat is cute, there is no denying that."
"But do you know what's cuter?"
"What could possibly cuter than a kitten?" Nunnaly asked back.
"Why it's my little sister of course!" He told her as he hugged her slightly.
"Lelouch you're embarrassing me." Nunnally said with a tone that said otherwise.
Quatre fake coughed and got their attention.
Lelouch looked like he was caught in the scene of a crime as Quatre looked back at him with a smug smile on his face. Quatre mouthed one word which was not noticed by the two girls in the room.
'Siscon.' He smiled in amusement as Lelouch flushed in embarrassment and then anger.
"Anyway, Lelouch guess who came to visit?" Quatre gestured to the pink-haired girl next to him.
"Euphie, it's a pleasure seeing you here. I didn't expect you to be here since you never gave a call ahead of time." Lelouch said with a pleasant tone in his voice.
Euphie bowed apologetically. "Sorry, I couldn't let my sister find out who I was calling yet since you don't want to be found yet. If Cornelia knew you were here, she would likely storm in here with her guards, then take you back under protection. You know how overprotective she is sometimes."
Nunnally giggled at this. "I'm happy to see you Euphie. Lelouch and I were just watching some cat videos, but know that you're here. Let's all go do something fun outside." She suggested.
"It's been years since I've heard those words." Euphie said softly.
"I agree with Nunnaly, it's not too good to stay holed up in here. Well, let's make up for lost time shall we?" Lelouch said as he put away the laptop. "By the way, do you want to join us?"
Quatre shook his head politely. "Thank you for inviting me, but I have somewhere to be with the guys. Maybe, I'll join you another time." The blonde waved goodbye as he left the room.
The three siblings looked at each other for a moment deciding on what to do.
"So, what should we start off with?" Nunnally started.
Code Gundam Musou
One certain Honorary Eleven lay on his bed staring at the ceiling.
'Why can't I do anything to help everyone? The United Worlds Federation makes it look so easy while still technically acting as enemies of Britannia.' Suzaku thought in frustration.
'What should I do? Even though I'm in the military, I'm not out to hurt others.' Suzaku went deep into his thoughts as he recalled back to the day it all started in the Shinjuku Ghetto.
Notes
This will be a filler chapter as the next part will include some buildup into the relationships for MillyxKira, and EuphiexHeero.
Omake
Disciples of Martial Arts
Domon was currently having a great time today.
Why?
It's because he finally got his own pupil he can be proud of. Just like how Master Asia was proud of Domon as his pupil.
He found a red-haired boy named Sekai Kamiki who has the same passion for martial arts as him.
Domon's friends and family found it ironic that the two are so similar with Sekai acting more like an energetic version of Domon.
Right now, they are training in the dojo.
"That's right Sekai, put all your feelings into your fists and let them flow through you! You will attain a level of strength unlike you ever seen before." Domon said to him as Sekai was practicing an exercise by repeatedly punching a dummy in rhythm.
"Yes, sensei!" Sekai replied.
"Can you feel strength unlike you ever experienced before coming to surface my pupil?"
"I can feel my blood rushing for battles against strong opponents."
"Then say it right now and release all your power right now. Prove it to me that you understand this!" Domon said to his pupil.
"Jigen Haoh school! Shippu-Zuki!" Sekai yelled out as he punched the dummy through the door.
The sound of someone being smacked by the door can be heard.
"Huh?" Domon said confused at what he heard his student said.
"Are you serious?! Why does this always happened to me when I come here?" Lelouch demanded angrily.
"I did this with the help of Kyoji!" Sekai answered in enthusiasm.
Lelouch turned to glare at said person who just happened to be there.
Kyoji held his hands up in defense. "Trust me; I don't have a part in this. In fact, I don't know why people keep bringing me up as the reason for whatever crazy things they do. "
"Of course, I'm absolutely sure now that you're innocent in all this. Just like the last time when someone named Goku who barged in here and turned his hair blonde. Right before he yelled out "I turned into a Super Saiyan with the help of Kyoji!" might I add?" He said sarcastically.
"Hey it's a new one. I've never seen super-powered alien species that powered up by turning their hair blonde before." Kyoji shrugged.
'Note to self, Kyoji is the reason behind every crazy thing that happened.' Lelouch noted mentally.
'Muahahahaha Lelouch, you have no idea how many more crazy shenanigans will involve you and people yelling out my name.' Kyoji mentally laughed evilly while keeping on a straight face.
Be sure to review and offer any suggestions
