Armies of Heaven and Hell
Chapter 8: Rebirth of the Gundams
Ron chuckled.
'Only the Morgan series could best these Mobile Suits.'
The Wing was a write-off, just like the original Morgan, so he remade the Wing Zero, the prototype for the Gundams, into a Strike Freedom/Infinite Justice hybrid with the Buster rifle instead of the twins of the Morgan.
'DRAGOONs, a sublight lifter, phase shift armor: I've outdone myself with this!'
But he upgraded the Morgan as well, with Gundanium he created, and an ultra-lightweight version he called Neo-Titanium, which coated the inside of the frame.
And his twin beam rifles were upgraded as well, taking the best part of the Buster Rifle-high firepower-and leaving out most of the weakness-high recoil.
The recoil was heavily lessened thanks to an ingeniously designed muzzle brake and a smaller version of the thrusters used on the Tallgeese.
'Still bad, though, but not as bad as the Buster Rifle.'
He ran dozens of simulations: the original Buster Rifle would eventually destroy the Gundam designed to use it.
Ron lessened the recoil using the same techniques he used on the rifles used on the Morgan.
'50% less recoil. And he's tested the damn thing against the Morgan's lightwave shields. I needed to rewrite the book on that thing after that incident.'
The Morgan barely survived the new Buster rifle's attack, and the right lightwave shield generator was ruined.
He had to remake it and instead he designed a more powerful lightwave shield, powerful enough to shrug off even the Buster Rifle, the Strike Freedom's Full Burst and the 00's Raiser Sword...ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
Several weeks later (Around the events of episode 30)
With everything going to hell, Ron continued to build his standing forces.
He stuck mostly to what he knew: modern Cylon Centurions, Baseships and Raiders.
Then he started to notice his fingernails were turning black.
'My Zerg Infestation...It's starting to show.'
He had infested several lab animals, controlling them for several weeks, then tossed them into space.
He planned on human infestation using a small shuttle, then corrupting a colony.
In fact, he was already planning on it.
Planting Zerg hive spores into a shuttle, he launched it toward a colony that no one would notice.
Once the ship jumped, Ron continued to watch combat footage of Quatre in Wing Zero, going crazy.
"He's just like me now!"
He watched and rewrote the ZERO system's controls so he could use it without losing anymore of his sanity.
The new system was called COFFIN, or COnnection For Flight INterface, and it was made with Cylon interface technology, the basic G.U.N.D.A.M OS, the ZERO system and Ron's skills at programming.
Not even Kira, Setsuna or even Heero could beat him now!
And his 'recruitment' of Terran soldiers was getting easier.
Now he had a formidable army, made of Mobile Suits like the GAT-01H GN Strike Dagger and the AEU-09B GN Enact, and warships like the Minotaur-Class Battlecruiser and Block 20 Guardian-Class Baseship with Gottfried HECs.
Semi-Infested Terran Ghosts and Specters, along with other Terran soldiers were under his command, and more were to come.
'Half the Terran Dominion's under my control, and Mengsk doesn't have a clue.
Hell, the Protoss can't detect the modified Zerg spores.' Ron got up.
"Saachez, Hiling!"
Their faces appeared on a screen.
"Yes, Colonel?"
"It's time the world became aware of the existence of 3 more Gundams!"
Earth: Sanc Kingdom
Relena Peacecraft watched as a battle raged outside of her country's border.
Then a number of attacks destroyed half of the attacking force.
Three Mobile Suits appeared and hovered over the ground, all with the same frame, but with different weapons systems, like the eight-winged one and the one with the huge pack.
"Attention all enemy forces! This is Colonel Pinkerton of Celestial Being, the paramilitary force of the Sanc Kingdom! Stand down, or your asses will be destroyed!"
On a private channel, Saachez chuckled.
"So, why Celestial Being?"
"It works, doesn't it?"
The Leos continued to attack, and Ron used the Fangs as beam daggers, destroying them.
Hiling used the sublight lifter to destroy a nearby warship, and Saachez used his DRAGOONs to destroy enemy Ares.
Relena was horrified.
"Colonel, stop it! You must stop this!"
"Too late."
He launched out his DRAGOONs and Fangs.
Hiling followed suit.
"3, 2, 1, FULL BURST!"
Over one hundred beam shots ripped into the enemy fleet, destroying it.
Ron chuckled, and transformed the Morgan into the fighter mode that it was famous for.
The 02 Morgan followed suit, turning into a fighter not unlike the Morgan, and Saachez's Morgan did the same, becoming a suit that looked more like an F-14D Tomcat.
Relena watched as they disappeared.
Battlecruiser Hiling Care
Ron chuckled as OZ and White Fang kicked each other's asses.
He looked at Hiling's ultrasound.
There were a number of abnormalities, but he accounted that to her Innovade physiology.
What he didn't know, and perhaps that was a good thing, is that she was pregnant.
Meanwhile, in the Anno Domini universe
A design in the computer of the Jupiter GN factory was an advanced GN drive: the Mk V.
Adama knew it existed, but wouldn't make it because it doubled as a bomb more powerful then a GN nuke, and he feared that with good reason.
It was called the Nova Bomb, and it could destroy an entire star system if use correctly.
Ron had snuck into the facility and was downloading the specs.
It was hard to believe that it had been less then a few months since Ron went to the AC universe.
"Morons."
Then the proximity alarm went off.
A Colonial Battlestar had jumped into the station's orbit.
"Frak."
It was the Macon, one of his most powerful creations.
Then a fleet apparently controlled by Celestial Being jumped into orbit.
"Colonial vessel, this is Celestial Being. Stand down."
"This is Commander Kara Thrace of the Battlestar Macon. You are in no position to make demands, Captain Noriega."
"That is a Celestial Being facility, Commander."
"Constructed by a rouge Colonial officer."
"Commander, we don't give a damn. We're taking back our facility!"
"Don't do it, Sumeragi."
"Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, DO IT!"
Then the battle started. Ron got to the shuttle, but a stray beam shot destroyed it. "Damn it!"
Luckily for him, a number of Raptors were stationed as escape craft.
He got to the Raptor docks and to a familiar Raptor: the Mk V prototype.
His Raptor.
He climbed in and spooled up the FTL drive that he hadn't used in so many years.
The prototype took off and Ron did what he did best in a Raptor: dodge everything sent his way and curse like an Irish sailor.
He activated the drive and jumped into the AC universe.
Earth: AC 195
The Gundams were attacking a number of Mobile Dolls, and they were holding their own.
"Colonel, where are you?"
"I'm on board Libra, trying to sabotage the Mobile Doll control systems!"
"Colonel, even for you, that's suicide!"
"Suicide my as-."
An explosion was heard.
"Colonel!"
"I'm fine! My leg's broken. Tell Heero that she's his now!"
"Broken? Colonel, your skeleton's made of titanium!"
"And titanium's not unbreakable! I guess all the crap I've been through broke it. I'll get it replaced."
"Who's Heero's now?"
A pained cough was heard through the radio.
"The Morgan, Trowa."
A 17 episode skip later and we're at the final battle of Gundam Wing.
And titanium can be broken; it just takes time and a beating. Ron's titanium skeleton will be replaced with a tungsten/Gundanium one, making him a hell of a lot harder to kill. And Heero gets to use the Morgan during his fight with Zechs and the Epyon instead of Wing Zero, so expect Zechs getting his ass handed to him. Badly.
Adama: "We're out of the Mansion and back on board Galactica." Athrun: "And Kira's in the Mansion, killing everything in his path." Shinn: "Dude, did he just rip the Tyrant's arm off?"
Random comedy.
Next Time: Ron's out of the fight and Heero takes the reigns the ADF-X01A2 Morgan, the most powerful Mobile Suit in the After Colony universe.
Review, and Ja Ne!
