Gundam Seed

"What if Kira joined ZAFT?"

The last Gundam Seed story I wrote was suppose to be humorous, as I introduced the characters in a funny way. On the first review, which was by Bin Bin, he called me a pathetic weak writer. I'm a big fan of this show and I try hard to write stories, which just comes out of my mind. This is a story which I want to dedicate to every Gundam Seed fan, but is directly at Bin Bin, just to show him that I'm not as pathetic as he thinks I am. If you read this, sit back, relax and read it slowly. If you think I'm still pathetic, then just review my story again and call me pathetic. Everyone else, I just hope you enjoy this story.

Just to give it a quick synopsis, do you all remember the first episode of Gundam Seed? Where ZAFT forces invaded the neutral colony of Heliopolis and stole 4 Gundams, but one was recovered by Murrue Ramius and young coordinator Kira Yamato. Now I'm asking the audience, what if Kira was part of ZAFT and along with his friend Athrun would invade Heliopolis and also steal the Strike?

I'm inspired to write this because I recall in one of the episodes where Kira was disguised as a ZAFT pilot and stole the Freedom. Well, I don't want to keep you all waiting so enjoy the story.

The Invasion of Heliopolis

(Alternate Version)

Cosmic Era 71. The war between the Earth Alliance Forces and ZAFT have already escalated. One of the Alliance' members decided to build five prototypes at the neutral colony of Heliopolis, which was controlled by the neutral nation of Orb. It seemed that those five prototypes would change the direction of the war which already has lasted.

ZAFT have gathered intelligence about the production of these prototypes and wanted to avoid its mass production. In order to do something about it, ZAFT has prepared an operation. Commander Rau Le Creuset was briefing his elite team, which would steal the five prototypes.

Rau Le Creuset: Ok. We have gathered enough amount of intelligence about the production of the prototypes by the Earth Alliance forces, with the help of Morgenroete in Heliopolis. If we don't stop them, they will mass produce them and we will be in trouble. In order to prevent that from happening, you will all infiltrate Heliopolis, steal the prototypes and come back to the Vesalius as soon as possible.

Miguel Aiman: This should be simple. Is like taking a candy from a baby. These naturals don't stand a chance against us, the coordinators.

Rau Le Creuset: Yes, but we don't want to be overconfident. It's just a simple mission, I rather not have to face the situation where we will have to destroy Heliopolis. I just want all of you steal the prototypes and retreat.

Dearka Elsman: Why don't we just finish them off while we are using our new toys?

Ysak Joule: Yeah, that will be too easy.

Rau Le Creuset: (smiles) There is plenty of time for that, but like I said before, I would like to prevent a fight, I rather just have all of you infiltrate. Anyways, this is the plan. Miguel will provide a diversion with a Ginn along with other pilots who volunteered. Nicol, Dearka, Ysak, Athrun, and Kira, you five will steal the five mobile suits, which should be located in the main facility of Morgenroete, which is heavily guarded by Earth Alliance soldiers. You all will be accompanied by other ZAFT soldiers which will provide you cover. As soon as you're all ready to leave, take the mobile suits, and come back to the Vesalius quickly.

Nicol Amalfi: I get it, Miguel will pretend that his squad is invading Heliopolis, which will keep the Earth Alliance soldiers busy, while we all just go in and take the mobile suits.

Rau Le Creuset: Yes, but we all need to be quick, it we take too long, it will cause political scandal with orb. Don't forget, Earth Alliance forces may have their weapons there, but that colony is part of Orb, and if we attack them, then they will engage us, and we want to avoid that.

Athrun Zala: Commander, do you happen to know what these mobile suits look like?

Kira Yamato: Yes commander, have you even assigned us a specific mobile suit?

Rau Le Creuset: Unfortunately, we couldn't gather that type of information, but don't worry about that, we can decide that once you all make it back with the mobile suits. This is the Le Creuset elite team, do your best and good luck soldier. You are all dismissed.

The Le Creuset team: Sir!!!

A couple of hours have passed as ZAFT make its preparations for the infiltration of Heliopolis. Miguel and his squad of Ginns prepare to launch an attack to Heliopolis, only aiming at the Earth Forces. While Athrun, Kira and the rest of the pilots prepare to be launched on a pod, which will land directly in the Morgenroete, Rau Le Creuset sits at the command center in the Vesalius smiling, as he expects this mission to be a success.

At last, the operation is under way, as Miguel start an attack on the Earth Alliance's weapon's facility, causing them to be on alert status, as the Ginns attack Earth Alliance soldiers who try to retaliate. The pod where the ZAFT pilots are located finally landed and everyone got out of it.

Athrun: Ok, we're here now, Dearka and Ysak, you guys go to the left and watch your backs, two of the mobile suits are located there. As soon as you get on your mobile suits, escape and go to the Versalius. Nicol, you go inside the Morgenroete facility, a mobile suit is in there. Its heavily guarded so be careful. Kira, you come with me.

Kira: Ok, I just hope I don't get to kill anyone.

Athrun: Lets just get this done just as the commander wanted.

Everyone splits apart along with enough number of ZAFT soldiers. Yzak and Dearka finds the two mobile suits. Before, they get rid of the soldier who got on their way. They aboard the mobile suits and start the O.S (Operating System). Dearka and Ysak express their satisfaction through radio.

Ysak: Dearka, what you think?

Dearka: Pretty neat, easy to control, I just need to set some stuff up, but I'll be done soon.

Ysak: Ok, just don't take long.

At the same time, Nicol managed to get into his mobile suit without any trouble and contacts Ysak and Dearka.

Nicol: Nicol here, I got this mobile suit set up and ready to go.

Meanwhile, Miguel and his squad are having an easy time holding off the Earth Alliance.

Miguel: Like I said, the naturals are so pathetic. What the…?

Miguel sees a huge amount of Moebius coming in the colony and are surrounded. Back at the Versalius, Rau Le Creuset is worried that their young pilots are taking long. He orders Miguel to contact the pilots and tell them to retreat as soon as possible.

Miguel: Miguel here, how's the other part of the mission guys?

Ysak: I'm set to go.

Dearka: Same here, I'm done with my O.S program.

Nicol: I'm ready to go, but what about the soldiers.

Miguel: Don't worry, they know where to go in order to retreat. Now just go back to the ship, orders from the commander.

Three ZAFT Pilots: Copy that.

The three mobile suits leave the colony back to the ship. Ysak takes the Duel, Dearka takes the Buster, and Nicol takes the Blitz. Miguel contacts Athrun.

Miguel: Athrun, what's the situation.

Athrun: We're receiving heavy fire. We found the mobile suits, but it's being guarded, I may need backup.

Miguel: I'm on my way.

Most of the soldiers that have accompanied Athrun and Kira have lost their life, which made Kira angst, and starts killing everyone, which makes Athrun surprise. They get rid of the opposition with the help of Miguel in his Ginn and aboard both mobile suits.

They set up the O.S program and are ready to go. Athrun takes the Aegis and Kira takes the Strike.

Athrun: Athrun here, I'm ready to return.

Kira: Mobile suit retrieved, ready to go back.

Kira and Athrun retreat and the soldiers left also escaped on ships that arrived. Miguel provided cover, however' Miguel is shot down and killed by the exaggerated amount of Mobius.

Later on, everyone finds out the death of Miguel.

Rau Le Creuset: I hate to inform all of you that our comrade, Miguel has fallen in battle.

Ysak: This can be! How could he died by the hands of the naturals. DAMN IT!!!

Dearka: Commander, we want to avenge his death.

Nicol: I hate to admit it, but they really hurt us by taking our friend's life.

Rau Le Creuset: I know, and I feel the same way. That's why we will get them back. But first, we have to head back to the PLANTS. We will take a break, regroup and start a new mission. There are rumors that the council have decided that they will run an operation on Earth. It might bring us victory, but I don't know. Just take it easy.

Kira: Commander! I need to tell you something.

Rau Le Creuset: What is it Kira?

Kira: While I was programming the O.S from my mobile suit, I saw a battleship escape the colony.

Rau Le Creuset: That ship. It must be the infamous Legus ship known as the archangel. It's a powerful flagship. Not much to worry about, unless it makes it to Earth with its data. Well, we're not worry about that. We will go back to the PLANTS and regroup.

Le Creuset team: Yes sir!

Hours later, Athrun, Kira and Nicol talk.

Nicol: I'm glad this mission is over, and we all get to take a break.

Athrun: Is not the same without Miguel. He's suppose to be with us, but they killed him.

Kira: (angst) War, a terrible thing.

Athrun: So Nicol, what will you do while we're on the break?

Nicol: I'm thinking on having a piano concert. Will both of you want to come and see it.

Kira: Sure.

Athrun: Yeah, I'll be there.

Nicol: So what else will you do on the break Athrun?

Athrun: I don't know, I guess I have to see Lacus.

Kira: (surprised) Isn't that the famous singer with a wonderful voice?

Athrun: Yes, I'm engaged to her.

Kira: Well. I guess that I will just stay home and relax. (Starts getting sentimental) Is hard for me to get over the fact that I'm fighting a war.

Athrun and Nicol look at Kira, who's angst. Dearka and Ysak just look at their mobile suits and promise that they will avenge Miguel's death.

The Vesalius is on their way back to the PLANTS with the five mobile suits onboard. Will the war take a different course now that ZAFT posses the mobile suits, or is the Earth Alliance hiding a secret? Find out on the second part of this story.
