Valkyrie's Flight
Chapter 9: Getting past Time
Kamille rammed the Zeta into the Titan Freedom, killing Scirocco.
But the asshole used a mind attack on Kamille, scrambling his brain.
Haman finally took out Char, but Ron knew he wasn't dead.
The Hyaku Shiki was still intact; Char was just gone.
When Ron came back, Haman ran off, not wanting to be killed by him.
"Damn. Bright, Char's gone. I'm bringing back the Hyaku Shiki."
"Where'd he go?"
"Well, we're not seeing him for a while. Where's the closest colony group?"
"Side 1's Shangri-La colony."
"Set course for Shangri-La, then. Where's Fa?"
Then Ron spotted the Dynames dragging the Zeta back to the Argama.
"Oh, shit." "Colonel, Kamille's hurt!"
While Ron was normally uncaring, he was worried for every pilot under his command. (Except Char; he could burn in hell)
'My plans for Earth are meaningless. These people are Colonials!'
"What happened?"
"I don't know! Get him on board the Argama! I'll find out what's wrong!" Ron set course for the Argama, still intact after the battle.
Battlestar Galactica: 25 years later
Maria woke up in her pilot's suit and in the Morgan.
"Morning, sleepy."
She looked to see Marina at the hatch.
"How long was I out?"
"8 hours. Never told us you could induce sleep."
"Family trick."
"Avalonia...or Pinkerton?"
"My father used it to escape an STO hideout 66 years ago."
Then she paused.
"How the hell do I know that?"
"You're asking me?"
She gave it a thought.
"Genetic memory. It only pops up every 200 years."
"How do you know that?"
"Genetic memory."
"Good point."
Then a blue haired man, 24 years old, entered the hanger.
"Excuse me! I'm looking for Maria Avalonia-Pinkerton!"
Maria knew him from her dreams and her father's diary: Kamille Bidan.
"You've found her."
She jumped down, landing near Kamille.
"Your father gave this to me before he disappeared after the First Neo Zeon War."
He gave Maria a book.
"He said it was only for his daughter."
She read a few pages.
Then she ran off.
"Where's she going?"
"That's the way to CIC."
They followed her, but they couldn't keep up.
"Admiral!" She got to CIC.
"Yes, Commander?"
"I know what my father's planning!"
Nearby black hole
"I've outdone myself this time."
Ron had combined GENESIS, Memento Mori and the Solar Ray laser into a massive device.
He found out how FTL drives worked during his stay on another Earth, as it was a mystery for decades.
They used tachyon particles to create a small hole in space-time, and that shot the ship several light-years away.
Tachyon particles could also be used...for time travel.
After all, after he shot at the Turn A Gundam, he used an FTL jump to get away.
It shot him back in time by 15 minutes.
Earth's gravity field could only send you back so far; you'd need a star or, preferably, a black hole to go back months or years.
Members of the former Holy Brittanian Empire now served under him, to change history to a proper path and make sure the Empire was never founded. (AN: I hate Code Geass' plot, so I'm screwing it over)
"Activate the Portal. Timeline: Anno Domini/Britannia. Year: 1779."
"Yes, My Lord!"
"Quit saying that. 'Aye, sir' or 'Aye, Colonel' will do."
"Yes My-Aye, Colonel."
"Better."
"Target Anno Domini/Britannian timeline! Year: 1779! Mission: keep George Washington alive!" "Yes, sir! Glasgow teams, prepare for deployment!"
"Never liked those Knightmare Frames. Too small, no beam weapons and a bloody DINN could destroy a dozen platoons. Still, they're good for covert ops missions like this one."
"Colonel, may I say that It's an honor to be under your command? If not for you, we'd never escape Brittanian rule."
"Personally, I think this machine is an abomination. People aren't supposed to go back in time; not yet." "Then why did we build it?"
"To see if it could be done. The Pinkerton family created many technological advancements for the Colonial Fleet: FTL drives, gigaton nuclear weapons, near-nuclear batteries, just to name a few."
"Every generation makes something new?"
"In my case, a lot: near nuclear batteries, subspace communications, Mks II-V GN drives, Minovsky technology, and now, time travel."
"You stole most of that from Celestial Being and the Earth Federation."
"Research in the case of subspace communication. I'm an asshole; what'd you expect?"
A blue tachyon-infused positron beam hit the black hole's gravity well, causing a temporal vortex heading to 1779.
The carrier Alphonse rocketed through, carrying a platoon of Glasgow Knightmare Frames.
They were to die there, but for the sake of the world, they didn't care.
"Sir, the Phoenix and Moscow just jumped in!"
"The Black Knights still want me dead."
"After betraying them and the Holy Brittanian Empire? What else do you expect?"
"Lelouch vi Britannia, Kallen Stadtfeld and the other members of the Black Knights and remnants of the Empire finally decided to enter space and try to kill me."
"They're launching GN Hizacks and GuAIZ!
"Launch out Alpha Squadron. Beta and Theta will follow."
Braves and GN Darts launched from the Weapon.
But the Black Knights were personally trained by Ron in MS combat; they wouldn't go down easily.
"Sir, the Destiny has launched!"
"Kallen's personal unit. Prep Delta Squadron."
"Theta's away! Delta is following!"
"Colonel, 00 has launched!"
Ron chuckled.
Lelouch vi Britannia, the leader of the Black Knights, was launching in his personal MS?
"He's got stones. Prep the Morgan."
"Sir?"
"He's challenging me; I will not deny him. Give Kallen a challenge: launch Viper Squadron."
Ron walked to the MS deck.
GN-0000 00 Gundam: Lelouch vi Britannia piloting
Lelouch wanted Ron dead for only one reason.
Not because he betrayed the Order of the Black Knights, but because he nearly killed Kallen in the process.
He loved her, and when Ron nearly killed her, he pulled a Leonidas out of his ass.
"Hizacks have engaged Alpha and Theta Squadrons! Delta's followed! Oh, shit!"
"What is it?" "Viper Squadron! And we all know what that means!"
"Colonel Pinkerton and the A4 Morgan."
"He just launched!"
"I know he'll send Viper Squadron after me while he deals with Kallen. Not on my watch."
"Oh, you've got it all wrong, Your Highness. I'm after you!"
Lelouch saw 20 Braves-Viper Squadron-being lead by the GNADF-X01A4 Morgan Raiser.
"Hello, Colonel!"
"Lelouch. Good to see you again."
"You want me dead; I want you dead. Bit of a problem there."
"I'm trying to restore history to it's proper path, here, and you got in the way! I clearly heard both of you say 'It'd be a hell of a lot better if Britannia never existed!'"
"If that happened, we wouldn't exist!"
"If you're that eager to die, let me assist in your suicide. Viper Squadron, kill Kallen. Lelouch is mine."
The Braves all targeted the ZGMF-X42S Destiny piloted by Lelouch's girlfriend, Kallen Stadtfeld. Lelouch growled.
"You always get your lackeys to kill for you."
"Oh, no. I get my hands dirty all the time."
"That's it! You're dead! Lelouch vi Britannia..."
"Colonel Ronald Pinkerton..."
"00 Raiser!"
"GNADF-X01A4 Morgan Raiser!"
"Engaging the enemy!"
"Destroying all opposition!"
Kallen killed two Braves with the anti-ship sword, but more Braves attacked.
"Damn it!"
Then several beam rounds hit the Alpha Squadron Braves.
A Strike-type MS was shooting at the Braves. Ron and Lelouch looked up.
"Damn it, it's the Raigo."
Then DRAGOONs and Fangs fired at the Morgan. "Damn it, my daughter's here! Target timeline: Cosmic Era! Date: September 16th, CE 73!"
"Resetting for CE 73! Destination target?" European Continent; country: Germany. City: Berlin."
Lelouch knew the battle that gave the Colonel Mobile Suit technology: September 14th, CE 73: The Battle of Berlin.
ZAFT Colonel Albert Wesker somehow caused a tachyon-infused explosion, sending the Minerva, the Archangel and dozens of Mobile Suits near the Colonial Fleet, including the wrecked GFAS-X1 Destroy, the ZGMF-X56S Impulse and the suit the Morgan was based on: the ZGMF-X10A Freedom.
This was known to all as the To Hell and Back Incident, due to the last words Ron said at the end:
"To hell with Orb! Earth will die in nuclear hellfire, and I'll go to hell and back to do it!"
"I won't let you destroy our timeline, father!"
"Do I care?"
"You should! You wouldn't have your Mobile Suit without Earth!"
"Contact after the war would've been better! Viper Squadron, fall back! We're going on vacation."
They ran to the event horizon, but Morgan Squadron and the two Black Knights Mobile Suits followed.
"Galactica, destroy that machine! Do it NOW!"
A hail of fire hit the tachyon generator, but it was not enough.
GN fields and lightwave shields inside the hull kept the majority of the fire out of the machine's inner workings.
The fields were too dense for a Mobile Suit to get through, but a ship could.
The Black Knights' flagship, the Phoenix, began a suicide run at the hole created by Galactica and Pegasus. Ron and Viper Squadron sped toward the portal.
"Your main target is Wesker's ZGMF-1017 GINN Nuclear/Beam Custom. I'd like to avoid any sightings of your Mobile Suits at all costs."
"Yes, My Lord."
"Quit calling me that."
The A2 blew up a small number of Braves, but it wasn't enough. The 7 Mobile Suits entered the portal.
Maria knew a certain law that was in play: Murphy's Law.
Ron intended to be in Berlin, but instead, they were over the Dardanelles Straits.
They were in the wrong place, in the wrong time: over 2 months early.
Ron knew his daughter was on their tails.
"Let's get the hell out of here! Head for Diocuia, and avoid ZAFT!"
They ran off, and Morgan Squadron followed.
Ron wanted the Colonies to conquer Earth, but the Colonials wanted nothing more then peace.
It was time to end it.
She'd kill her own father during the turning point: the Battle of Berlin.
Sorry for the late update. Writer's Block sucks.
If anyone wants to use my Code Geass/THAB plotline, go right ahead.
Mobile Suits seen this chapter:
GN 0000 00 Gundam: Originally designed as Setsuna F Seiei's attack suit, the prototype 4th Generation CB Gundam was built for Lelouch vi Britannia. Unlike Setsuna's unit, this is not an upgraded MS, but the original MS. Like 00 Freedom, it uses two GN drives.
ZGMF-X42S Destiny: Shinn's second Mobile Suit, this is the original type, this time piloted by Kallen Stadtfeld. The Mobile Suit is superior to the Knightmare Frames used by the Britannian Empire, and is deadlier then all other units.
Glasgow: The first Knightmare Frame, used to take control of Japan in ATB 2010. All Knightmare Frames, including the infamous Lancelot, were inferior to even the first Mobile Suits created by ZAFT (ZGMF-1017 GINN/AMF-101 DINN), but were still useful...as cannon fodder.
Galactica-Class Battlestar, Block 70: After the Bloody Valentine War, Galactica was refit with Gottfried and Lohengrin cannon emplacements, along with lightwave shield generators. The refit took 8 years, due to the massive damage incurred by Ron's personal Battlestar, the Yashuman, and Neo-GENESIS.
Organizations:
Order of the Black Knights: Founded in the Geass universe, The Black Knights were created as a counter to the Britannian Armed Forces. In the THAB metaverse, Ron was a key member, building their ZGMF-1017 GINNs and ZGMF-601 GuAIZ Rs, GN 0000 00 Gundam, ZGMF-X42S Destiny and Galactica-Class Block 70 Battlestars. Lelouch tried using Geass on the Colonel once, but his Innovator brain was immune to it. Ron joined of his own free will.
And that's it!
If you like it, review.
If not, not my problem; lots of people like my work.
Next Time: Ron and Viper Squadron + Morgan Squadron and the leaders of the Black Knights = mass chaos at Meer Campbell's concert!
Ja Ne!
