It is Cosmic Century 71, and the Earth Alliance and ZAFT have...oh hell...you know the Gundam SEED story, this is the Super Deformed world of Gundam SEED in the timeline of the Cosmic Century. Mobile suits are little more than human-sized robots with an AI system built for the battlefield. The Earth Alliance has their Daggers and variants, and the ZAFT has their mass production GINNs & CGUEs. Though both Naturals and Coordinators created these robots, they have become merely casualties in the middle of war that the robots themselves now control. Some robots on both sides have a revolutionary AI processor: the Seed; which gives the robot a human attitude, and spirit (essentially a soul). Now, a new team of high performance robots with Seeds has come to take on the ZAFT, the GAT-X team.
Cast of Characters (by organization):
Alliance GAT-X team:
Commander Aegis: the powerful commander mech of the GAT-X team and bearer of pink phase armor. Though an excellent tactician, his plans become flawed when carried out by the rest of his team and their bizarre antics. As the leader, Commander Aegis is already programmed with all the capabilities of his team, and tries to lead by example, despite constant harassment for his armor.
Lieutenant Strike: ass-kisser to Commander Aegis, and pride of Alliance design. Strike's body was designed for AEC (All Environment Combat), and has 4 new Striker Packs to boost his power: Aile, Launcher, Sword, and Lightning. Though second in command, Lt. Strike is at times an idiot, but makes attempts to lead his allies.
Ensign Duel: the asshole of the GAT-X team, and can't get enough of over-killing his opponents. Duel's and Strike's base designs are derived directly from the Daggers and its' variants. Though a subordinate in the group, he won't pass an opportunity to show off his skill, taunt his opponents & teammates, and then harass the Commander with Buster about his pink armor. Duel gets a new armor upgrade after an alleged freak accident...
Ensign Buster: hot-headed, gun-loving, and sometimes dumb-ass of the whole GAT-X team. His philosophy: barging in head first, guns blazing, shooting, shooting again, shoot some more, blow everything up, go back to base, and then ask questions. Despite being the heavy artillery man of the team, Ensign Buster is known for getting easily sidetracked by something completely different, and uses endless sarcasm to cover it up.
Ensign Blitz: the sneaky, cowardly, and simply mech that no one likes. Blitz is the stealth guy, though at times he just won't shut up. Known for sneaking everywhere in cloak, his strange lifestyle has made him very suspicious by the rest of the GAT-X team. One more thing, Blitz is deftly afraid of bugs-BIG ones at that.
Ensigns Astray Red and Blue: the two rookies that are newly assigned to GAT-X team, Ensigns Red & Blue have no idea what the hell is going on. Though both lack phase armor, they are very quick in combat and at acting without thinking. Astray Red's specialty is using his large sword Gerbera Straight, and using a sniper rifle or any large weapon he can get his hands on. Astray Blue's specialty is using big guns and looks up to Ensign Buster as a friend, and has an obsession with new styles of armor.
Lt. Jr. Grade Astray Amatu: though a robot, Amatu's seed comes from a human female, and is thus considered to be a female robot; whereas everyone else on the GAT-X team has a seed from human males. Her base armor was gold colored and like that of her "brother's" Red & Blue, thus her name was Astray Gold. That changed when she got a new armor style very similar to Ensign Blitz's armor. Everyone thinks that the armor is what makes her a cold killer sometimes, and that deep down she's just a sweet down home girl; but you can even ask Red & Blue, she just is a mean bitch that now has better armor and skill.
Daggers (Strike Daggers, Duel Daggers, Buster Daggers, Gunbarrel Daggers): the mass production robots of the Alliance. Because these guys are essentially cannon fodder with AI, the Alliance had to create the GAT-X team to lead Dagger's into battle and help design newer versions.
ZAFT
Supreme Commander Providence: look at that, a Gundam on the side of the ZAFT?! Yes, the very powerful, scary, and not very good at his job Providence leads the robot forces of the ZAFT. Providence is unpredictable, has detachable weapons, is merciless, and his obsession with one new thing after another makes Providence not very likable leader, but instead, a feared leader. His personality comes from his incomplete seed, despite being a powerful leader.
Silver GuAIZ: the subordinate to Providence, the Silver GuAIZ leads all the other GuAIZs and has nothing else really special about him except his silver armor, and Seed: a copy of Supreme Commander Providence's Seed.
GuAIZs: the upgraded CGUEs that use technology and information from Supreme Commander Providence's design. They are much laid back and just let the CGUEs and GINNs do all the fighting. Their AI, design, and skills make the GuAIZs almost a match for any member of the GAT-X team.
CGUEs: the upgraded GINNs and commanders of GINNs. These guys are better than cannon fodder, and prove it when one of them fights on equal grounds with a member of the GAT-X team.
GINNs (ORCHER GINNs, WASP GINNs, Tactical Air Reconnaissance GINNs, Long Range Reconnaissance GINNs, High Maneuver GINNs, and the variants go on and on): the base mass production robot of ZAFT forces with basic AI's and many variations. These things are on par with the Daggers (and its' variations), but are no match for a GAT-X robot.
Okay, there's you cast (essentially), now the story begins...the fights between the ZAFT and the Alliance will be decided at one colony: Nuopolis. This large colony is now the battleground between the Alliance's GAT-X team, and the ZAFT's frontline forces under Supreme Commander Providence. These are their stories...
The GAT-X base; where the gundam robots are in a "hibernation" state as they await reactivation.
Computer: System online. Now reactivating all GAT-X robots.
The tubes open up and the gundams awaken, groggy and restless. Amongst the coughing, Commander Aegis sits up in his tube and has a look around at the others.
Duel sits up in his pod and looks around slightly, "they ain't payin' us enough for sleeping like this man..."
As Duel sat up, Buster also sat up in his pod, and looked to Duel, "...not enough to wake up to your rusty-ass face, Duel..."
Duel looked back at Buster and they exchanged looks, "...what? Was that a joke?"
Buster just sighed, "I wish it were, man."
"I wish we were actually getting paid..." replied Blitz who was still laying down in his pod.
"Don't worry, Blitz," Duel responded, "paychecks look just like Buster's Seed: small and insignificant..."
Commander Aegis just got up and began to walk around in front of the other tubes, while yawning slightly, "alright sweet-hearts, what are you wait for, breakfast in bed? It's yet another glorious day in war.
"...hooray sir..." Duel replied.
Aegis just continued with his spiel, "...a day in war is like being in love..."
Buster then rolled out his tube and stood up, lowering his vocal volume, "...here we go..."
"Every date is bloodbath!" Aegis continued.
Blitz finally sat up and looked at Commander Aegis as he walked by his tube.
"Every liitle thing costs a fortune!" Aegis continued.
"Whoa..." Blitz then rolled out of his tube and looked at Buster.
Strike finally sat up in his tube and glanced at Aegis before he started to even move out of his tube.
"...And every kiss destroys lives!" Aegis finished his spiel as he walked in front of Lt. Strike, "I LOVE WAR!
"Commander, would you believe this floor is freezing?" Strike said as he got out of his tube and stood facing the commander.
"What the hell you want me to do?" Aegis stopped walking and glares at Strike. "Get you slippers or something, mech?"
"Oh please, would you, sir, I'd love that."
Aegis held up his middle finger to his left eye unit, "look into my eye, ass-kisser." He then turned towards all three of the units, "fall out mechs, let's get to the briefing room before we go any further into the colony."
Duel and Buster walked towards the hall with Blitz behind them, replying "I hate this job..."
Duel and Buster just nodded their heads in agreement, "we hear ya, man..."
Inside the briefing room, the gundams were gathering data-pads and activating the view screens while awaiting Commander Aegis's briefing.
"Hey Commander," Strike sat down at the main table in the room, "what's the op this time?"
"Don't' worry about it Lieutenant, it's an assault mission, you'll love it," Aegis then activated the view screen displaying the outlines of the colony. "There's a whole ZAFT side of the colony that clearly needs to be assaulted."
Everyone exchanges looks as if saying "what the hell was that?"
"Oh forget it! Sit down you over grown Barbies!"
"...speak for yourself..." Buster replied in a very low volume.
Duel and Blitz smirk at Buster's remark.
"What?!" Aegis snapped.
"Nothing sir!" Buster stiffened as he replied. He then looked at Duel and Blitz.
Duel and Blitz chuckle again.
"Alright people, settle down," Strike ordered. "Let's get this brief over with so we can crush some GINNs."
Aegis started things off, "first, I'm sorry that Alliance command didn't give us a brief before we were sent here, but-"
Blitz raised his hand, "sir?"
"What is it, Blitz?"
"Is this really a pure assault mission, sir? Or another stealth operation?" Blitz's started to act decided.
Aegis just sighed at Blitz's remark. "Well, by mission of Alliance command, we are currently docked at the Orb built colony designed after Heliopolis, called Nuopolis." Aegis began pointing to the view screen, "Here, according to the Alliance, is going to be the decisive point in the war, as we go head-on with the ZAFT forces."
Duel just smirked. "Great, assault mission. What exactly are we dealing with, Commander?"
"The ZAFT forces here are under the leadership of Supreme Commander Providence, another Gundam, but not of the GAT-X series. And we have to destroy Providence's team in the colony in order to decide how this war will end."
The whole of the GAT-X team just exchanged glances to Aegis's orders. They were surprised that they would have to fight another Gundam in order the win the war.
Buster sighed as he looked at Aegis, "that's it? Just kill another Gundam?"
"That's the plan, we just gotta destroy Providence and then we win the war, supposedly," Aegis responded.
"Him and his army of GINNs and CGUEs..." Strike replied. "Oh yea."
Blitz just raised his hand again to gain Aegis's attention.
"What is it, Ensign?" Aegis said very straight forward.
Confident again, Blitz responded, "where can I ditch my chicken-shit weapons?"
"Hey!" Strike snapped at Blitz. "You secure your shit-I mean weapons, Blitz! Got it?!"
"Okay, let's move out mechs," Aegis nodded his head in acknowledgement. "We gotta war to win!" Aegis encouraged as he left the room.
Strike then assumed command of the group when Aegis left. "Alright, sweethearts you heard 'im, get your titanic rears in gear and GO! Blitz, come here, COME HERE!"
In the ZAFT base, GINNs and CGUEs are transporting their weapons and supplies from off their ships to their base.
"Move it you lazy, half-witted, pieces of cannon fodder!" yelled one CGUE (this will be known as CGUE 1).
The GINNs don't even look at him and just continue carrying items around.
"Yea, that's what I thought! You there! Pick up that tank and move!" he continued to yell.
The lone GINN being yelled at tries to lift up the tank by itself, pulls so much power that it rups its arms off and falls back, as it laid on the ground, it muttered "...ginn..."
"Ahh...what the hell..." CGUE 1 sighed.
"You know, maybe you're just a little too hard on them. Their just GINNs after all," a second CGUE (this will be known as CGUE 2) pointed out.
CGUE 1 just looked at CGUE 2, "oh yea, how would you deal with it?"
"Watch and learn, newbie, watch and learn..." CGUE 2 chuckled. "HEY GINNs! MOVE YOUR ASSES OR I'LL BLAST YOU INTO THE NEXT GOD DAMMED WORLD! GOT IT?!"
The GINNs all panic and start moving things faster but become much more clumsy while moving them.
"No-no-no-no-no," a third CGUE (guess we'll call him CGUE 3) interrupted. "You gotta understand how the GINN thinks. It's not an advanced AI or Seed like us, you gotta treat them differently."
"Great," CGUE 1 rolled his mono-eye at CGUE 3, "I need leadership training from idiots."
"Watch this," CGUE 3 taunted. "GINNs!"
The GINNs stop working and look at the CGUEs.
"The sooner you finish unloading our stuff, the sooner you get to go to the park and play!" CGUE 3 offered.
"GINN!" the GINNs shouted in joy. They began to calm down at CGUE 3's offer, and moved things faster and much more efficiently.
"What the hell was that?" CGUE 2 asked.
CGUE 3 just chuckled. "It's just how they think, they love the park. Don't you?"
A large anime water droplet formed behind CGUE 1 and CGUE 2 as they glared at CGUE 3.
"Besides," CGUE 3 added, "the Alliance is probably having a worse time than we are..."
Back at the Alliance base, the GAT-X transport ship is awaiting to unload its crew.
"This is great!" Commander Aegis yelled. "This is just great, good job Blitz!"
"Hey, it's not my fault!" Blitz replied.
"Yea it is, you little shit!" Duel yelled back. "You lost the garage door opener, and now we can't even go outside!"
"It's not that I lost it, I just can't find it, dick," Blitz muttered back.
"Somebody called for garage door opener?" Buster walked in with both his guns in both hands, pointing at the door.
Commander Aegis was standing right in front of Buster until he noticed Buster had his weapons deployed. "No! No-no! NOT ON MY SHIP!"
"FIRE IN THE HOLE!" Buster yelled as he fired his weapons around Aegis and at the door, creating a huge hole. "Oh yea!" Buster said as he finished firing.
"Hey!" Strike yelled as he returned with the remote control being held up in his hand. "I fount it...never mind...."
Back at the ZAFT base, the CGUEs here the massive explosion from the other side of the colony.
"What the hell was that?" CGUE 2 asked.
"I think the Alliance is already here..." CGUE 1 replied.
"Uhh..." CGUE 3 was skeptical in his voice and opinion. "...with an explosion like that?"
CGUEs exchange looks at each other.
"Nah!" the CGUEs said in unison.
Back to the Alliance base, again!
Commander Aegis was coming close to sobbing about the blast. "My ship...my beautiful ship has big...hole in it!"
After unloading several supplies into the base, Buster returned to see Commander Aegis. "What's wrong sir? You're not having another Seed breakdown are you?"
"You...you..."
"Sir?" Buster replied.
"Son of a bitch! Die you bastard!" Aegis yelled as he flipped up one of his claws, and activated its beam saber state.
"Whoa! Hold on sir!" Strike interrupted, "don't do it!" he yelled as he grabbed Aegis' arm and pulled him away. "It's okay, Commander. It's not his fault he's an idiot, sir. Don't worry, we can fix your...beautiful...ship later."
After unloading all of their supplies, the GAT-X team prepares their weapons for the battles to come, while Buster and Duel are standing on top of the base, looking out into the distance of the colony.
"Wow, this is BIG colony...like Heliopolis," Buster stated.
"Shit man, all colonies are this big! What's wrong with you?!" Duel scolded back.
Buster only looked down, "uhh..."
"Forget it; just let me enjoy the scenery, dead mech," Duel replied.
Buster then looked at Duel, "Hey, Duel..."
Duel sighed and would've rolled his eyes, and responded, "what now, moron?"
"You ever wonder...why we're here?" Buster asked.
"Actually I do. I've come to the conclusion that we're here because the Alliance built us robots to fight their war and other robots from ZAFT with the same reasons. But then we're here also because, maybe God just put us here to fight as a part of his grand plan of the cosmos for every robot to destroy every robot. He's just that mysterious..." Duel answered.
"What the hell was that all about a god?" asked Buster.
"Oh, uh...didn't mean to go that far," replied Duel.
"I'm not asking why God put us here. I'm just asking why we're here, asshole."
"Okay, we have a base here, because ZAFT has a base there; and we have to destroy ZAFT and take over that base so that this colony will be ours, and the war will be won on our side. But then again ZAFT has their base there because we have our base here, and it all tends to contradict each other, so..."
Buster nodded his head in agreement, "that's deep, man. You think that ZAFT has the same reason?"
Over at the ZAFT base, two of the CGUEs are wondering the same thing.
"Do you ever wonder why we're here?" asked CGUE 2 to CGUE 1.
"Well, we have a base here, because the Alliance has a base there; and we have to destroy Alliance and take over that base so that this colony will be ours, and the war will be won on our side. But then again the Alliance has their base there because we have our base here, and it all tends to contradict each other, so..." CGUE 1 explained.
There you go, the world of SD Gundam SEED is back! With Gundam Generations being made at the same time, my hands are full. These stories will take some time, but I hope you'll enjoy it all! I'll repost the chapter explaining the origins of the Seed AI in due time, and explain where Freedom and Justice are.
