In-between Episode 05
~ Passing Destinies ~
"Do you think that would work, Sumeragi-san? Mileina still somehow doubt over its effectiveness desu…" asked the youngest CBS-742 Ptolemaios 2 Custom's Combat Information Centre (CIC) Operator, Mileina Vashti while wondering on such bold and daring approach from her (their) commander and tactical forecaster, Sumeragi Lee Noriega. "It will definitely work Mileina. We will have Setsuna and Lockon to participate in this mission, as it also is a good opportunity to test 00 Qan [T]'s GN Sword IV Full Saber equipment…" reassured Sumeragi, as she smiled towards Mileina afterwards. "Still, the fact that Time-Space Administrative Bureau's admiral Leti to personally requesting our help surely shown the seriousness of this matter…" added Ptolemaios 2 Custom's reserve Gundam Meister, Lasse Aeon shortly after Sumeragi answers Mileina's question not so long ago.
"Feldt-san, what do you think about it?" curiously asked Mileina, as Feldt Grace, the older and more experienced Ptolemaios 2 Custom's CIC Operator only smiled and replying back at her question. "It surely is serious, as Setsuna has sense this impending threat in which more dangerous than Yggdmillennia's Great Holy Grail War for numerous times recently. Because of that, I also weighted over the possibility of how dangerous our situation would be if left unattended…" answered Feldt before giving Mileina a full and detailed explanation on how they should went ahead with Sumeragi's mission plan after all. "Uh, that is surely sound very bad Feldt-san. If only Erde-san is here with us, things might be proven less stressful desu…" responded Mileina while simultaneously lamenting over her love interest, Gundam Meister Tieria Erde in which has been currently away due to an undisclosed circumstance.
"Mileina, Tieria is currently working as our liaison with both Time-Space Administrative Bureau and Earth Spheres United Nations. Because of that, we should try to do our best with our current condition and protect our place for him to return…" replied Sumeragi before explaining the reason why Tieria was almost away from them for this entire time. It was also when another Ptolemaios 2 Custom's CIC Operator and reserve Gundam Meister, Anew Returner decided to add her own thought over this matter. "Mister Tieria decided to help us better understand our new allies in this constantly changing new world, miss Mileina. Because of that, I am here to work on his behalf and help with anything from Ptolemy and mobile suit's maintenance to cleaning, cooking and tactical operation as well…" added Anew while gently smiling towards Mileina as well, at the same time. Mileina in return was only blushing slightly before she meekly nodded back at her.
"I thought you are here because of Lockon, Anew. Again, it also is a good reason to always be here with us, I believe…" chimed Lasse, as he grinned towards the now blushing Anew. "C'mon, Lasse. You shouldn't tease Anew, as she is bashful about it. By the way, what do you think of your new Gundam, Anew? Do you think that it would work as intended?" asked Sumeragi after she commented and scolded Lasse for teasing Anew over her crush towards Lockon Stratos, one of the currently active Celestial Being's Gundam Meister. "Ah, it actually is very useful and easy to use miss Sumeragi. Also, thanks for letting me add my own modification on it…" replied Anew before she thanked Sumeragi for letting her to personally upgrade and modify the third generation GN-002 Gundam Dynames into a quasi-fifth generation GN-002REIII Gundam Dynames Repair III.
"Choosing GN Bazooka to replace Dynames Repair II's GN Sniper is definitely a right idea desu! Since it allows Dynames Repair III to be more suited to your piloting style, Anew-san…" cheerfully added Mileina, as she acknowledged the path of upgrading and modifying Gundam Dynames Repair II that Anew has been implementing. "I heard that Bureau's Technical Division 4 and Caledfwlch Techniques are helping with this upgrade and modification process. Is that true?" curiously asked Feldt before she mentioned Time-Space Administrative Bureau's Technical Division 4 and Caledfwlch Techniques' involvement for helping Anew to upgrade, as well as modify Gundam Dynames Repair II. "It actually is true miss Feldt. Since professor Atenza and miss Finieno's idea are certainly helping with Dynames Repair III's upgrade, as well as modification process…" politely answered Anew while acknowledging both Technical Division 4 and Caledfwlch Techniques' involvement with the process of upgrading Gundam Dynames Repair III.
"Uhm, it actually is strange for Ave-san to not getting involved in this desu…" casually remarked Mileina while stretching both of her arms upward simultaneously. "Last time, Ave was busy helping Morgenroete to upgrade their pre-existing mobile suits and Tactical Surface Fighters. He also is getting involved with Project Gaia Saviour and barely had any free time for himself. That is why we decided not to ask him this time around, Mileina…" replied Sumeragi, as she explained Celestial Being's reason for not asking Ave to help them with upgrading their outdated third generation Gundam mobile suits.
"What is Project Gaia Saviour, Sumeragi-san? Why Mileina never heard about it?" innocently asked Mileina before Anew decided to answer her question on Sumeragi's behalf afterwards. "It was a joint project between Mao-Isurugi Industries, Tsukimura Heavy Industries and Caledfwlch Techniques to develop new combat units for ESUN's Peacekeeping Force. One of them is a next generation Armored Module and Personal Trooper units such as ReLion and Gesterben…" explained Anew before she deliberately paused her sentence for a brief moment.
"Uhm, it still hasn't explain the reason why Mileina never heard anything about it desu…" responded Mileina, as Anew only smiled and continuing her previously unfinished explanation afterwards. "According to Veda, ESUN decided to suspend the entire project after Gaia Saviour's failed attempt to rebel last year. It sadly put everything that mister Ave has designed except for Gespenst Mk-II Custom and Gesterben into an indefinite halt, as ReLion together with its sister machines such as Masquelion and Cerberlion were closely associated with Gaia Saviour rebels, miss Mileina…" concluded Anew while smiling towards the youngest CIC Operator in which seated next to her. "Do you think that Gaia Saviour's rebellion has became the main reason for Executive Officer Takamachi's decision to temporarily stopped working on his other projects, Sumeragi-san?" asked Feldt, as she also wondered if Project Gaia Saviour's suspension has made Ave stopped working on his other projects for the time being.
"That would be the case according to commander Yagami. Especially after Gaia Saviour's rebellion has exposed some weaknesses behind ESUN's new policies post-First Defensive War, Purge of Blood and Frozen Teardrop Incident…" answered Sumeragi before smiling towards Feldt as well, in return. "Seiei-san also said the same thing before, Sumeragi-san. Since we hasn't been conducting any armed intervention ever since Frozen Teardrop, some corrupt elements started to reappear and try to create another distortion across our newborn eternal reality, unfortunately desu…" chimed Mileina while lamenting the fact that their decision to temporarily keep a low profile has inadvertently made new enemies reappear across countless multiple newborn eternal realities in which Break The World created in the past.
"I personally believe that his involvement in Project Gaia Saviour has nothing to do with multiple new conflicts and distortions that occurring in our third newborn world. Especially when we know exactly on how external factors have predominantly play important part in these new conflicts as well, after all…" added Lasse, as he mentioned on how most if not all recent conflicts that plagued their third newborn world came from external factors instead. "Uhm, okay…" replied Feldt while affirmative nodding back at Sumeragi, Mileina and Lasse as well, in return. It was almost instantly after Feldt gave Sumeragi, Mileina and Lasse an affirmative reply, as well as nod, Anew received an incoming message from Setsuna in which has been ready to take off using his Gundam 00 Qan [T] Full Saber together with Lockon in his newly acquired fifth generation Gundam, GN-010 Gundam Zabanya. "Mister Setsuna and mister Lockon are requesting permission to take off. Are we ready to start our mission, miss Sumeragi?" asked Anew, as she informed Sumeragi that 00 Qan [T] Full Saber's Gundam Meister, Setsuna F. Seiei and Zabanya's Gundam Meister, Lockon Stratos were ready to start this crucial mission.
"Permission is granted. Feldt, Mileina, please assist them with take off procedure and sequencing…" instructed Sumeragi after she granted Anew together with Feldt and Mileina a permission to authorize 00 Qan [T] Full Saber and Gundam Zabanya's take off sequence. Shortly after hearing Sumeragi's instruction, Feldt, Mileina and Anew swiftly authorize 00 Qan [T] Full Saber and Gundam Zabanya's take off sequence while simultaneously transferring the detailed, as well as supposedly flawless mission plan to them. It was after Setsuna and Lockon launched their respective fifth generation Gundam units, 00 Qan [T] Full Saber and Zabanya, Mileina made a remark that hoping for this entire mission to success. "Hopefully Seiei-san and Stratos-san are doing fine out there desu…" remarked Mileina, as she was letting a small sigh out shortly afterwards.
"Surely they would be fine. Since our friends from Terminal are also helping them in this mission after all…" added Lasse before reassuring the youngest Ptolemaios 2 Custom's CIC Operator, Mileina Vashti that Setsuna and Lockon would successfully complete their mission with Terminal's assistance. "Still, things were different than before desu. Since now we are dealing with enemies that suddenly come out of nowhere desu…" argued Mileina, as Feldt decided to respond at her argument this time around. "Even if things were different now, Setsuna, Lockon and everybody from Terminal would definitely more than capable to accomplish this mission. Since they are also not the only one that fights against these threats, I believe…" responded Feldt while reminding Mileina on others that also bravely fought against these threats out there.
"Feldt and Lasse are right. Most of our allies are fighting against these enemies in multiple fronts and they manage to stale their advance. Because of that admiral Leti was requesting our help to safeguard our newborn eternal reality's outer orbit together with Terminal. Other than to protect our newborn eternal reality's outer orbit, I believe that commander Leti is also wish to protect Pillar of Heaven, as its existence alone has been proven crucial for both ESUN and ourselves…" added Sumeragi while acknowledging both Feldt and Lasse's opinion, as well as explaining the reason behind admiral Leti Lowran's request for Ptolemaios 2 Custom's participation in this mission. It was around the same time when Sumeragi concluded her explanation that Mileina saw the incoming transmission from one of Terminal's main mobile assault battleship, LCAM-01XA Archangel, as she decided to let her fellow CIC Operator, Anew Returner to answer it.
With Anew and Archangel's CIC Operator in which happen to be no other than Miriallia Haw exchanged greeting, Sumeragi started to ponder upon the discussion that she had with her crews just now. Mileina in particular has expressed her concern over the seemingly endless threats that swarm their beloved newborn eternal reality, as constantly trying to fight them back would always far from being ideal after all. Her fellow commander, Hayate Yagami in which currently led her own personal expeditionary and counter-terrorism taskforce, Special Duty Section 6 has once discussed this seemingly dire situation together. Hayate personally mentioned on how things would only improved when everyone acknowledge the shared dream that would led each of their own newborn worlds into an everlasting tomorrow that a certain young Saint King, Olivier Sägebrecht has once told her.
Remembering her conversation with Hayate in the past has also reminded Sumeragi of other unexpected new things that Celestial Being has encounter after Break The World occurred. Certainly, those unexpected new encounters have also helped Celestial Being to more easily adapt their policy and action towards these ever changing situations in which Break The World has created in the first place. One of these encounters have led them to form a close alliance with Terminal, a non-governmental organization originated from Cosmic Era that also help Celestial Being with information-gathering, fund and close, as well as reliable partnership to achieve their shared common dream together.
It also thanks to their partnership with Terminal, as well as Time-Space Administrative Bureau, Celestial Being's member operatives were given access to Pillar of Heaven and the previously destroyed Pillar of Autumn. Especially when such ability to access two Orbital Elevators in which the third newborn world's highly advanced military bases and factories are located would greatly helped Celestial Being with their missions, such as armed intervention when deemed necessary. In the end, it was the Terminal and Time-Space Administrative Bureau's help that would allow Celestial Being to defeat A-Laws, Innovators, Chimera Corps and ultimately Coalition of Old Governments during First Defensive War. Since without their help, Celestial Being would certainly find it difficult to fight these aforementioned enemies, unfortunately.
Everything started on that fateful day one and half a year ago, as the world or to be more accurately these entire countless multiple multiverses that everyone knew would forever changed. Break The World that occurred in eight different multiverses have caused dimensional tremor and fuse these aforementioned eight with other countless multiverses out there to create also eight newborn multiverses or eternal realities. It was during the first week after Break The World took place that Celestial Being's Ptolemaios Team have by accident encountered Special Duty Section 6's LS-class warship, Wolfram together with Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty or ZAFT's battleship, Minerva and Titans' Alexandria-class heavy cruiser, Aswan in which Titans Test Teams, Black Otter and Glory Star were currently stationed. Those three ships from three different universes were stranded after they try to unsuccessfully stop three different incidents that trigger Break The World in the first place.
Sumeragi remembered on how she and everyone else were surprised with the presence of GN Drive-equipped Gundam Astraea and Exia onboard Wolfram, as well as many other Gundam-type mobile suits in which both Minerva and Aswan have in their possession. It was only after she holds an official meeting and met with representatives from those three aforementioned stranded warships that Sumeragi could somehow get a clearer picture over the whole situation itself. Because of that, Sumeragi agreed to form a temporary alliance with these unlikely allies that she has just met. Since only by doing so that she could ensure Ptolemaios Team's survival while simultaneously investigate these newborn eternal realities in which Break The World was created not so long ago.
Together with Special Duty Section 6 and Titans Test Team, Celestial Being's Ptolemaios Team decided to accompany Minerva in their journey, as after being kicked out from Orb Union, they finally arrived at ZAFT's Carpentaria Base. Ptolemaios Team together with Special Duty Section 6 were then decided to leave ZAFT's Carpentaria Base in order to further investigate this completely newborn world until they run into a rogue Orb Union's assault battleship, Archangel in which has formally became part of ZEUTH, an inter-dimensional alliance formed by like-minded individuals or organizations to protect these countless newborn multiple multiverses. It was after Ptolemaios Team and Special Duty Section 6 decided to work together with ZEUTH that they began to learn more about the state of this newborn world, in which Break The World has created.
Break The World has brought many changes over countless multiple multiverses out there, as Celestial Being need to start think more about how they should engage these aforementioned changes actively. By working together with Time-Space Administrative Bureau that also possessed a genuine GN Drive, Celestial Being's Ptolemaios Team hoped to continue those missions in which their founding father, Aeolia Schenberg has entrusted them with. Because of that, Sumeragi, as well as the rest of Ptolemaios' crews and Gundam Meisters decided to trust Time-Space Administrative Bureau together with their one and only Gundam Meister, Ave. Since only by doing so that Celestial Being could began their first step to foster a new dialogue with those in which originated from different worlds. It also when Celestial Being finally found a trustworthy allies that would help them with their mission, in which include armed intervention as well.
Remembering their first interaction with ZEUTH that also include Archangel has made Sumeragi smiled. She realized that things have changed and no one has ever actually been prepared to face such change in the first place. Nevertheless, countless changes that Break The World brought upon them was actually useful of preparing Celestial Being for the actual future dialogue in which their founding father, Aeolia Schenberg has prophesised. That was why they could survive the First Defensive War, Purge of Blood and Frozen Teardrop Incident in which occurred in the past before.
These worlds or multiverses might have forever changed. Break The World might have completely tore the previously established preconception law of nature that mankind believe vehemently in the past. Yet, nothing has changed Celestial Being's first and foremost mission. Despite all changes that always occurred in these countless newborn multiverses, their task will always remain the same. Fortunately, they have now obtained dependable allies that would help them with their mission to safeguard and unite these newborn worlds together.
Realizing that fact alone has once again made Sumeragi smiled. Even after Break The World literally changed almost everything, there was still hope for a better tomorrow. It was certainly something that she once again remembered, as her crews and Gundam Meisters participated in this crucial mission together with their allies from the Terminal. Because of that, as Ptolemaios Team and Archangel's crews began their joint operation together, Sumeragi decided to once again face these newborn worlds or multiverses bravely. Since only by doing so that she could truly help their crews as well as new allies to forever safeguard these aforementioned newborn worlds together. It was undoubtedly the only final and most important mission that has been entrusted to them, Celestial Being, as Sumeragi will ensure that they accomplish it, in the end.
ED Theme Song: Iris (Performed By: Aoi Eir)
"I never actually expecting myself to see you here, meister Ave. Especially when meister Hayate has previously told me on how busy you actually have been lately…" greeted Reinforce Eins while smiling gently towards her beloved surrogate Lord, Ave at the same time. "Likewise, Reinforce. Since I plan to only have a quick look over the new improvement on Exia Flügel's operating system and GN Condensers. Other than that, I'm sure Shari and her crews, as well as Tink Erbel has done a great job on maintaining it…" calmly responded Ave, as he also smiled towards his faithful partner and Unison Device, Reinforce Eins in return. Reinforce Eins in the meantime was only affirmatively nodding back before she replied back at his respond just now.
"They indeed have done such a great job of maintaining it, meister Ave. Other than that, miss Shari, miss Tink Erbel, meister Hayate and Zwei also have been working to improve Exia Flügel's performance in their spare time as well, I believe…" replied Reinforce Eins before she informed Ave that his beloved older girlfriend, Hayate and her current partner and younger Unison Device, Reinforce Zwei were also involved in Exia Flügel's maintenance process, as well as quite possibly creation. "I've been guessing about that at some point, Reinforce. Especially after they previously design Sinanju Stein and upgrade Astraea for me last year…" responded Ave while mentioning on how his beloved older girlfriend, Hayate and Reinforce Zwei's involvement in Exia "Repair IV" Flügel's creation hasn't actually surprised him after all.
"Meister Hayate and Zwei have been expressing their interest to design mobile suits ever since we returned from Mars. Because of that, after receiving input from Caledfwlch Techniques and Krung Thep, they created Sinanju Stein and Gundam Exia Flügel based on your combat data, meister Ave…" replied Reinforce Eins, as she once again decided to remind Ave on how her beloved meister, Hayate and younger sister, Reinforce Zwei have shown their interest on creating custom mobile suits for his (Ave's) own personal use. It was after receiving inputs from both Caledfwlch Techniques and Krung Thep that Hayate and Reinforce Zwei could successfully create a pair of custom mobile suit for him. Those mobile suits were CW-MSN-06S Sinanju Stein, in which registered as part of Time-Space Administrative Bureau's "UC Project" and CW-GN-001REIV/F Gundam Exia Flügel.
"Well, Sinanju Stein and Exia Flügel are created base on extremely high performance Gundam-type mobile suits that ever existed in these countless multiple multiverses. Because of that, I really am pleased and thankful for having them as my own personal combat units, Reinforce…" added Ave while acknowledging the fact that he extremely happy to obtain both Sinanju Stein and Exia Flügel as his own personal combat units. "Certainly they are, meister Ave. Especially with Sinanju Stein in particular has proven more than useful during the investigation that you together with meister Hayate, general Signum and Vita were conducting in the past…" replied Reinforce Eins, as she also mentioned certain past investigation that Ave together with her beloved older girlfriend, Hayate, Signum and Vita have conducted.
"Sinanju Stein is indeed a powerful high-performance mobile suit, Reinforce. That is why, Hayate-san, Signum-san, Vita-san and I could accomplish our mission together while simultaneously gather enough data for developing RX-0 Unicorn Gundam and its siblings…" responded Ave before he decided to acknowledge that Sinanju Stein's overall high performance has truly been a great help for him, as well as Hayate, Signum and Vita. "Since it was developed using data obtained from Sazabi and Nu Gundam, I always am certain of Sinanju Stein's high performance in combat, meister Ave. Although, I never actually expect Psycho-Frame to also compatible with Innovator and work similar to 00 XN Raiser's Trans-Am Burst System…" calmly replied Reinforce Eins while exchanging her thought with Ave as well, simultaneously.
"Now that you mention it, I also surprised to see that firsthand. Again, I suspect that Hayate-san and Rein have already knew about it when they helped with Sinanju Stein's development, Reinforce…" casually remarked Ave, as he also mentioned on how both Hayate and Reinforce Zwei might already knew about such fact in advance. "I believe so as well, meister Ave. Especially after Krung Thep and Caledfwlch Techniques provided meister Hayate and Zwei with more additional data that they were able to study Psycho-Frame and Trans-Am Burst System thoroughly. It was when they most likely found fundamental similarities between the two systems despite being originated from different universes…" once again replied Reinforce Eins before she also smiled towards Ave as well, in return. Ave on the other hand was also smiling back at Reinforce Eins while simultaneously give her reply just now a brief thought. Reinforce Eins in the meantime decided to help her beloved surrogate Lord, Ave, as she sat next to him and quickly skim through multiple information that has been displayed in front of them.
"Isn't it interesting, Reinforce? Since I never personally expect two systems to be almost identical to one another despite originated from two totally different universes…" said Ave while responding back at Reinforce Eins' reply just now. "It certainly is meister Ave. That is also perhaps why we manage to bridge these two worlds together afterwards…" replied Reinforce Eins, as she was also acknowledging Ave's respond at the same time. "You're right, Reinforce. Thanks to Sinanju Stein, I could help Banagher and Audrey…I mean princess Mineva find this coveted Laplace's Box while avoiding Gjallarhorn's pursuit. In the end however, it only after Republic of Zeon's elite taskforce, the Sleeves decided to intervene and assist us that we could get away from them…" responded Ave before he narrated his experiences as well, in return. It was when Reinforce Eins letting a small chuckle out and replying back at her beloved surrogate Lord's respond just now.
"Is that also when you mistook captain Full Frontal with Republic of Zeon's prime minister, Édouard Mass? I also am almost mistook him as the legendary Red Comet of Zeon, meister Ave…" replied Reinforce Eins, as she also reminded Ave on how they almost mistook the Sleeves' leader in his red experimental high-performance Geara Doga as Republic of Zeon's current prime minister, Édouard Mass that also happen to be no other than the legendary Red Comet himself. "That experimental high-performance Geara Doga was performing three times better than the more advanced Geara Zulu in which Republic of Zeon has deployed to assist us. Because of that, I started to suspect its pilot, captain Full Frontal as prime minister Édouard Mass until he informed us otherwise…" responded Ave while explaining his suspicion over the Sleeves' leader, captain Full Frontal's identity in the past.
"It wasn't entirely surprise me, meister Ave. Especially with his Geara Doga has also been painted in red colour, everyone would certainly mistook him as prime minister Édouard Mass himself, I believe…" reassured Reinforce Eins before acknowledging such common confusion that people experienced when they first met captain Full Frontal in person. "Well, it took me quite some times to realize that Full Frontal and prime minister Édouard Mass isn't the same person, Reinforce. Although in the end, such thing never really mattered to me after all…" replied Ave while smiling at his faithful partner and Unison Device, Reinforce Eins in return. It was when Reinforce Eins remembered the time when prime minister Édouard Mass decided to pilot his personal mobile suit, MSN-04 Sazabi and lead Republic of Zeon's military the Sleeves on defending Megallanica from Gjallarhorn's forces.
During this standoff, Full Frontal in his AMS-119C Geara Doga in which has just been recently upgraded into AMS-119N Röte Doga using Sazabi's spare parts tried to confront Banagher Links in his RX-0 Unicorn Gundam over the possession of Laplace's Box. In the end however, he conceded that Banagher and princess Mineva should inherit Laplace's Box, as they should certainly capable of changing its accursed existence into a prayer and blessing for future generation after all. Remembering this small incident in which later known as Laplace Incident has also made Reinforce Eins realize on how intertwine these countless multiple multiverses are to one another. Despite not widely documented, she has witnessed the same miracle that 00 Raiser and Nu Gundam have previously exhibited during the First Defensive War.
The aforementioned miracle in which Unicorn, Banshee and Sinanju Stein's Psycho-Frame together with 00 XN Raiser's Trans-Am Burst System exhibited this time around has once again shown humanity over a miracle known as "God" or "Possibility" while simultaneously protect Megallanica from Gjallarhorn's forces. Because of that, after witnessing such miracle twice, the third newborn's world humanity decided to slowly but surely reforming themselves. Since it was through this miracle in which two completely different systems from two completely different worlds have exhibited, humanity began to realize on how similar they actually are to one another despite originally came from different universes. Realizing on what actually mattered the most in this Laplace Incident has helped Reinforce Eins to finally understand more about the respond that Ave just gave her.
"Despite having an opinion that differs from ours, captain Full Frontal agreed to help us fought Gjallarhorn. That is why, I agree with you on how his identity and origin is never actually an important factor to begin with, meister Ave…" affirmatively responded Reinforce Eins, as she also decided to acknowledge her beloved surrogate Lord, Ave for his statement just now. "You are correct, Reinforce. Anyway, shall we focus ourselves on checking Exia Flügel's newest upgrades first? Since we could continue our conversation afterwards…" replied Ave before suggesting Reinforce Eins to first focus their attention on inspecting Exia Flügel's recent upgrades first. Reinforce Eins in return affirmatively nodded and responded back at her beloved surrogate Lord, Ave. "Certainly, meister Ave. Let me run a system scan on Exia Flügel's operating system before checking its GN Condensers later on…" responded Reinforce Eins affirmatively, as she began to run a full system scan on Exia Flügel's new operating system shortly afterwards.
While staring at his faithful partner and Unison Device, Reinforce Eins in which currently scanning Exia Flügel's new operating system thoroughly, Ave started to reminisce about some of his past adventures. Ave also in particular remembered several instances when he pilots non-GN Drive-powered mobile suits such as Slave Wraith, Pale Rider "DII" and Sinanju Stein in his past adventures. Most of these past adventures strangely enough related to certain accursed tome, Book of Shadow or Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, in which he together with his beloved older girlfriend, Hayate Yagami and her family has been investigating. Some of them would involve the process of rewinding certain time period more than once and tried multiple different approaches to obtain any desirable outcome from it. Because of that, as Ave remembered about these aforementioned past adventures further, Book of Shadow or Necronomicon Ex-Mortis once again popped up in his mind. Since almost every single occult and eldritch horror-related case that he and others investigated so far could be traced back on it.
The process of rewinding certain time period was in reality never really recommended, as it could damage multiple fabrics of time and space continuum by accident. Unfortunately, there were also instances in which such process happens to be the only way that would allow Ave and his allies reach any desirable outcome by altering some of their previously made decision. The process or rewinding or to be exact resetting certain time period was known as "End-Birth" and even the Originator such as Ayin Barshem and Olivier Sägebrecht has explicitly warn him about it. Especially when the process of rewinding certain time period has been done for hundreds to thousands or even ten of thousands times in the past. It also sadly became one of the catalysts that among many others caused Break The World in the first place.
After he learnt more about the risk of "End-Birth" from Ayin Barshem and Olivier Sägebrecht, Ave decided to let the Guardian of Destiny, Amitie Florian and her younger sister, the Manipulator of Time, Kyrie Florian decide on when such dangerous process such as rewinding certain time period would be deemed necessary. While the theory of rewinding certain time period more than once in order to reach any desirable conclusion might be deemed necessary in this instance, Ave decided to vehemently against it. In the contrary of what others might have believed, no rewinding, resetting or tampering with fabrics of time and space continuum have been made during the aforementioned investigation that he, his beloved older girlfriend, Hayate and her family conducted together. It was when he together with Hayate and her family manage to finally solve most of these Book of Shadow-related cases while in the process seal more than half of its scattered pages away.
His role as another Time Diver's candidate as well as Innovator has made him aware of the consequences when someone decided to initiate "End-Birth". Because of that, as he decided to continue his role as another Time Diver's candidate, Innovator and Time-Space Administrative Bureau's Gundam Meister, Ave would never forget to always thread his step carefully. Since only by doing so that he could avoid asking Amitie and Kyrie Florian to rewind these countless newborn multiverses' time and space continuum. Thankfully his beloved older girlfriend, Hayate understood that very well, as she decided to let him pilot not only Sinanju Stein but also Gundam Exia Repair III in their investigations. At first Slave Wraith, Pale Rider "DII" and Gundam Astraea Type-A/F2 were the only mobile suits that he could use in any Book of Shadow-related cases, as they personally belong to him instead of Special Duty Section 6. Only after Hayate registered Sinanju Stein and Gundam Exia Repair III as her beloved younger boyfriend, Ave's personal units that he could finally use them in any Book of Shadow-related cases.
It was when the rest of these Book of Shadow-related investigation have became a lot easier after Ave finally obtained Sinanju Stein and Gundam Exia Repair III as his own personal units. Since by piloting high performance mobile suits such as Sinanju Stein and Gundam Exia Repair III would undoubtedly gave Ave better options on how to deal with any situations both expected and unexpected during this aforementioned investigation. Remembering how Sinanju Stein and Exia Repair III have ultimately helped him during Book of Shadow-related investigation in the past has made Ave realize on how he shouldn't worry about their current situation after all. Indeed, Longinus Dreizehn Orden was undoubtedly more powerful and dangerous than anything that he and his newfound family and friends have faced so far. Nevertheless, he has also now pilots the final upgrade of Exia, that has almost certainly been equivalent to Celestial Being's strongest fifth generation Gundam, 00 Qan [T] in term of its overall performance in combat.
Because of that, with CW-GN-001REIV/F Gundam Exia Repair IV or Exia Flügel as his own personal combat unit, Ave should be more than capable to deal with any challenges ahead effectively, efficiently and with style. Despite any dangerous and deadly threats that Longinus Dreizehn Orden has possessed, Ave now certain that he together with his new family, friends, allies and comrade in arms could deal with them. It was also when Ave decided to continue the path of becoming another Time Diver's candidate that he had chosen on that fateful night. Since it was thanks to the aforementioned choice that he made back then, Ave could now protect his newfound family, friends, allies and comrade in arms. Once again, Ave made another step closer toward his own chosen destiny as another Time Diver and Innovator, in which would allow him to safeguard his own, as well as love ones' future without relying too much on "End-Birth" and in the process degrade these countless newborn multiple multiverses further.
"Based on these reports, Exia Flügel's overall output and combat performance should be comparable to 00 Qan [T]. Uhm, are you okay, meister Ave?" innocently asked Reinforce Eins, as her question startle Ave slightly. "Ah! I'm fine, Reinforce. It just is, I started to remember some of my past experiences just now…" responded Ave before smiling at his faithful Unison Device, Reinforce Eins in return. "Is that something related to your previous life, meister Ave? Or it is something else altogether…" once again asked Reinforce Eins with concerned expression was shown on her face.
"It was about an investigation that Hayate-san, you and I participated in the past, Reinforce. Since it also when I finally received Exia R3 and Sinanju Stein as my personal combat units…" answered Ave, as he also explained everything that he previously has in mind. "Is remembering that has made you worry, meister Ave? Especially after we all learnt the true nature behind everything that have happened in those particular cases…" replied Reinforce Eins before asking her beloved surrogate Lord, Ave another question shortly afterwards. It was when Ave wryly towards Reinforce Eins, as he decided to answer her question. "It somehow is make me worried, Reinforce. Mostly because our current situation has somehow similar to what happened back then…" explained Ave while answering Reinforce Eins' question just now.
"It also is concern me, meister Ave. Since this entire situation seems to have progressed out of our control…" replied Reinforce Eins, as she also expressed her own concern towards her beloved surrogate Lord, Ave afterwards. "Indeed, I also suspect that we might find ourselves in perhaps the most difficult predicament at the moment. Still, it always is necessary for us to have a faith on a better outcome in the future while cautiously tackle the current issue here, Reinforce…" responded Ave before reassuring Reinforce Eins that he already thought carefully about this entire situation that rapidly accelerated in front of them. "Thank you meister Ave, for giving me a reassured respond just now…" thanked Reinforce Eins while gently smiling at her beloved surrogate Lord, Ave as well, in return. Ave in the meantime was only sheepishly grinned towards Reinforce Eins before he responded back at her.
"You're welcome, Reinforce. Now, shall we go visit Hayate-san and invite her for dinner? I'm sure that her mock battle against Vivio has already been concluded…" replied Ave while suggesting that he together with Reinforce Eins should visit Hayate and invite her for dinner. Pleased with her beloved surrogate Lord, Ave and his suggestion just now, Reinforce Eins affirmatively nodded and smiled before replying back at him. "I'm sure meister Hayate is happy with that idea, as it has been a while since our last time having dinner together…" answered Reinforce Eins before she stood up and extended her right hand towards her beloved surrogate Lord, Ave. In return, Ave grabbed Reinforce Eins' right hand while smiling at her as well, simultaneously.
It was when both Ave and Reinforce Eins left Special Duty Section 6's makeshift hangar with a newfound certainty in their hearts. Since they certainly knew that despite all these unexpected hardships, challenges and threats in which Longinus Dreizehn Orden has possessed, everything would certainly be fine. Because of that, with this newfound certainty in their hearts, Ave and Reinforce Eins continue to keep on moving forward while protecting the very future that they and others have always cherished dearly.
