Phase 11 – Remaining Sparks
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.
29th December, CE 72, 12:45pm; PLANTs: Aprilius One, Government Building
"Welcome back, Chairman Durandal" smiled Krane as the newest Chairman of the PLANTs stepped forwards with a sigh as he ran his hands through his hair "how was Armoury One?"
"It has become more than I deemed wanting, the PLANTs will be a hell of a lot better defended with Armoury One as our centrepiece of Military Hardware, we've also begun building new Gundams" commented Gilbert and Krane laughed causing the new Chairman to raise an eyebrow "funny?"
"The Impulse design, it is a Strike rip-off, you of all people know that" chuckled Krane as he remembered the design of it "the pilot you've chosen for it also doesn't match up to the Freedom's pilot, trust me, Impulse vs. Strike will end in Kira's victory"
"I have no choice, I cannot make more use of Newtypes without making it look like I'm working for you until after you up heave control from under me, then I will gladly be the middle man in the politics while you and you're descendents stand as Emperor" sighed Gilbert and Krane nodded before glaring.
"You have your own agenda too, if you succeed within the time limit your dreams may come true, however if I succeed first you'll have to see what future I have for the world" shrugged Krane as he stood "I will retire for now, there is something at hand that I need to deal with, shouldn't take long"
3:30pm; Aprilius One: VIP Area, Krane's Mansion
"Along with child, huh?" asked Krane as he stepped into the room and Shane pouted from where he lay on a sofa "comfortable?"
"Comparing to this moment when I was praying to the porcelain god? Oh yeah, I'm really comfortable" scowled Shane as he glared at his lover "how about we swap roles, you be the pregnant one, I'll be the ego headed Commander"
"Even then I'd still be able to do my job" countered Krane calmly as he sat down on a chair opposite, Krane yawned before stretching like a cat, then he sat back into his chair.
"So…how are politics going?" questioned Shane and Krane gave a chuckle as Shane brought up such a boring topic "what?"
"Not bad actually, Gilbert has been given a chance to complete his 'Destiny Plan' however I will stop him before he goes too far, then everything should go as planned" muttered Krane as he crossed his arms before activating a transmission to Andras' lab which appeared on the screen of his flat screen TV "Andras, I want a status report, how are the new Gundams?"
"Despair is almost completed, Berserker is having its OS written after we got the data from the GuAIZ Experimental Attack Type, and the remaining Gundams are running through the final designing process and should be done soon" answered Andras as he looked off at the details on the side "I have also begun testing a number of other equipment, Gilbert Durandal has been so gracious to share our resources with each other, it seems…suspicious"
"I agree, I want my Mobile Suite and Shane's completed by the end of this week, things are being set in motion by next week and Lacus Clyne has agreed to return to the PLANTs!" announced Krane as he signed off.
"The Pink Princess is returning, who talked her into that?" asked Shane but gave a laugh when he saw the look on Krane's face "you did? Wish I could have seen that!"
"Oh, shut up!" scowled Krane with a pout before he stood and walked out of the room.
5th January, CE 73, 11:45am; Earth Orbit: Over Orb, Battlefield
The partially repaired Freedom launched up into space ahead of the shuttle which followed moments later, they had however flown right into a trap, Dagger L Units blotted out space as green beams rained down on them and Kira dodged in horror as the beams ignored him entirely and pierced the shuttle with Lacus upon it. Icaria personally enjoyed the 'singing' of the Songstress's screams as he took aim on the Freedom and fired with his Gundam's "Scylla" 580mm multi-phase energy cannon however a shield appeared before Kira and blocked the descending attack, the Gundam before the Freedom and Massacre was a black and red monster with a legion of DRAGOONs hidden behind HiMAT Wings, the beast turned to face the Freedom with dark green eyes.
"Hey, Kira, why are you always getting into trouble?" asked Krane as he opened a communication from his newest Gundam: the Despair.
"K…Krane!" gasped Kira before Krane launched himself at the Dagger L units and sliced two apart using the enlarged Beam Sabres that the advanced Gundam had just drawn, while slashing through two Dagger Ls, Krane also launched his Super Strike DRAGOONs which quickly shot down eighteen other Dagger Ls.
"Say, Kira, want revenge?" asked Krane and he grinned when Kira launched himself at the Dagger Ls and began cutting them apart, slicing through their Mobile Suites and Cockpits with little to no mercy, a Dagger L was about to slash Krane however he kicked out with his legs to reveal a MR-Q15A "Griffon" Leg Beam Blade which cut into the cockpit of the Dagger L causing Krane to kick it away before it exploded.
"Krane Hibiki!" yelled Icaria as he charged in with Beam Sabre activated and slashed down at Krane whom blocked with one enlarged Beam Sabre, Icaria fired his "Aufprall Dreizehn" high-energy beam cannons, "Zorn" 100mm energy cannon and "Scylla" 580mm multi-phase energy cannon however Krane dodged past those attacks as they came.
"Damn it, I wish I hadn't come now, to see your ugly mug" sneered Krane as he dodged back from another of Icaria's legendary Beam Sabre swipe, Krane let out a yawn before redirecting all of his DRAGOONs to attack the 5th Level Extended which seemed to dodge rather fluently around his attacks as though Icaria had Newtype senses of his own.
Krane believed however that the Extended in question was a Newtype Hunter design and very few had gotten to that rank without their biological implants killing their brain, hence artificial Newtype Senses which enhance the Newtype Genes inside the body without having them awaken as a dangerous factor, meaning they were pseudo Newtypes or as they had been designated: Newtype Hunters. An advantage that Krane had noticed that the most recently 'born' ones could in fact lose control in a form of Berserker state, true they gained amazing strength and reaction time however they lost all sense of strategy, Icaria however had grown out of that with experience it seemed.
"Shane, where is that Phantom Pain Fleet, we're getting our arses shot off over here!" growled Krane over a transmission as he dodged beams from two Dagger Ls and forces himself to draw his Sniper Rifle into one hand and a beam rifle into the other to counter the two Mobile Suites "this is a field of battle, Shane, not a picnic!"
"Oh, quit your complaining I'm tracking their launch positions as best as I can, damn it!" scowled Shane over a transmission as he waited in his new Mobile Suite: the Berserker.
Krane shot down another three Dagger L units while dodging beams from the remaining two Dagger L units in their wing, Krane scowled as he kicked out with one MR-Q15A "Griffon" Leg Beam Blade and therefore cut through a Dagger L's torso, Krane scowl worsened as he dodged away from the crimson beams launched by the Massacre's "Aufprall Dreizehn" high-energy beam cannons.
"Shane, I'm considered a god, NOT a miracle worker!" shouted Krane as he dodged beams launched by more Dagger Ls and redirected his DRAGOONs to target them, causing their destruction moments later, Krane dodged as the Freedom launched a Full Burst which slammed into a group of Dagger Ls that were approaching the battle.
"Found them!" announced Shane over a transmission and Krane noticed the data appear on his screen that was also transferred back to the Varda and its two ship escort, it seemed that the enemy fleet was hiding within the debris field and Krane grinned before giving the command for his forces to begin their advance in that direction.
"My Lord, the enemy forces have launched signal flares, what shall we do?" asked Renaldo over a communication while Krane looked off at Shane firing the Berserker's MA-20A "Divine Rage" beam cannon which the beam bended to attack a number of Dagger Ls, making a decision based on the data he gathered on Shane's pregnancy, Krane ordered a retreat.
12th September, CE 73, 12:45pm; Aprilius One: Government Building, Krane's Office
Krane listened to the news and smiled at the data that presented itself, yesterday in Japan a bomb had gone off which had taken the lives of a small group of people known to Newtypes as the Newtype Elder Council, a Council that held supreme power over the Newtypes and had inhibited Krane long enough in his goals to control the world. Now they were dead, Krane smiled at Kira walking down the street away from the chaos with no one knowing whom had caused it, Kira Yamato had planted the bomb and had left the building unseen to watch the fireworks and then he had walked away.
"Andras, status report on the Strike Freedom!" commanded Krane as he continued to look at the details gathered.
"The Strike Freedom will be finished by the 3rd of October however it won't arrive at Armoury One until the 4th which is the date of the awaited completion and launch of the Minerva, it also seems that Anti-Coordinator Terrorism has increased at Carpentaria very recently and this worries me, it is something that we will need to deal with" commented Andras and Krane nodded slightly "what do you wish me to do?"
"Once the Gundams at Armoury One are completed, use their Psycoframe technology in the Strike Freedom and our other Gundams, while doing so I want them upgraded, this includes the Strike Freedom's Super DRAGOONs into Super Strike DRAGOONs!" commanded Krane and Andras nodded.
"Very well" bowed Andras before walking out, Krane meanwhile called up a image of the Earth as seen by cameras outside the PLANTs and pondered, who knew what the future held.
