Episode VII: Seeing Double
Athrun was leaving Morgenroete High after another hectic day of school; he didn't feel like it could get any worse; unfortunately, it did. While heading out of the campus entrance, he bumped into someone he didn't hope to expect, Mia, whenever Athrun met her personally, he always makes a rash promise, "C'mon Athrun, let's go on a date!" Said Mia, (She was always so direct in this manner) this time, there was no escape for Athrun, "Alright, already! We'll go…" Athrun said begrudgingly, he didn't wanna date Mia, and he could have just refused, but he was too much of a gentleman to disappoint a lady, even if it was Mia.
Athrun had perhaps taken too many responsibilities: First, as leader of the Rangers, then, to do his school stuff, and finally, trying to live up to his own expectations towards everyone else. He's had rough times through and through.
And what about Cagalli? What about her? It's not as if she had… anything close between him and herself. Okay, maybe a little. But not that deep (at least not yet) but she felt sorry for the guy and had to do something.
As Cagalli pondered over this situation, she saw Haro-5 maintaining the Seed Base's control computers. Suddenly, she got an idea, if Athrun could build a robot assistant, so could she, but much better…
Athrun lazily slept in bed practically all morning, too exhausted from the homework last night to do anything else. When he woke up, he saw his clock was in snooze, "Oh no! I am so late!" He had been so busy last night; he forgot to set the alarm.
He rushed through the streets with a triangular slice of toast as his meal for the day. "Darn it! I'm not gonna make it! There must be a faster way!" Athrun said, he paused for a moment, went into an empty alley, and morphed into the Red Ranger and got his Gun Cycle, and got to Morgenroete as fast as he possibly could.
As he was in the hallway, he rushed to his next class according to the time; he went through the door and said "Sorry I'm late." But his teacher, Erica Simmons, looked puzzled, "What're talking about? You've been here since first period and I saw you at lunch." She said, Athrun was confused, what was she talking about?
Later at lunch, Athrun overheard Mia talking about what a wonderful night she had with Athrun, "…And then he said I was so beautiful, the prettiest of flowers would wilt before me and the most charming princess is put to shame. It was so… magical." She said, Athrun was even more dumbfounded, how could he have been with her last night? He was already asleep at the time and was never there.
Athrun didn't know what to think that day, what was everyone talking about? He had no idea.
Meanwhile, on Axis, Talia and Yzak were discussing their next plan to defeat the Power Rangers, "I'm very certain that this plan will not fail as the previous ones did." Talia declared, "It had better not, for your sake." Said Yzak, knowing full well what the consequences for failure were. As for Auel and Sting, they were to create a new monster for the plan. "Why are we doing this again?" Asked Auel, "The mistress' newest plan is to send a monster to attack the city, while the both of us, and the General, invade the Ranger's HQ." Answered Sting, "Oh, I get it." Said Auel. "Hey, how come we're with the General? And how does he know where the enemy's base is?" Asked Auel, "Simple, during his battle with the Red Ranger, Talia intercepted the transmission from the Red Ranger's Morpher, and traced it back to a certain area outside the city." Answered Sting, "Oh, I see." Replied Auel.
On Earth, Athrun decides to figure things out in the Seed Base, just then he hears Cagalli saying something, "Alright, Athrun, it's time to tweak you up." She said, what was she talking about, and was that gig about tweaking?
When he went inside, He saw Cagalli and… HIMSELF? On some operations table. At that, he fainted before Cagalli.
When he came to, Athrun saw Cagalli up-close in the face, "Gah!" He shrieked, Cagalli just giggled. Cagalli then calmly explained that the "other" Athrun was an android counterpart of the real Athrun, a little surprise she cooked up from Haro being the inspiration; she also explained that everything that everyone thought he did was actually his android clone, "Sorry for the little scare, I wanted it to be a surprise." She said, "No problem, I guess it's something I deserve after I shocked you with Haro-5." He said, just then I wondered what we were gonna call the "new guy", "How about 'Cyber-Athrun'?" Cagalli said, it was good enough, but not like we had anything else to call him.
Meanwhile, in another part of the city, Kira and Lacus have a small argument about something, as for the exact details of the argument, there weren't any specifics about it (Starting a totally unnecessary sub-plot.)
On Axis, Auel and Sting finish their latest creation, Doom Zock, and the duo, along with Yzak, head for Earth while Talia sends Zock on Heliopolis City.
The Rangers are called to action when Zock attacks, the Rangers morph "Gundam Rescue! Power Morph!" and on their Gun Cycles, and took off for Heliopolis.
The Rangers are on the scene, with Doom Zock and several GINN-borgs attacking, "Destroy Rangers!" was all it said, and the GINN-borgs all attack at once. Nicol, Lunamaria and Kira take on the GINN-borgs while Cagalli and Athrun battle Doom Zock.
Meanwhile, back at the Seed Base's vicinity, Yzak, Auel and Sting, are trying to find the Seed Base, "Are you sure its here?" Asked Auel, who was getting tired and bored, "Oh I'm certain it's around here unless you QUIT ASKING ME THAT!" Shouted Sting. Yzak cuts through some foliage with his massive saber as he continued finding the Seed Base.
Just then, Cyber-Athrun appears before them, "What! What are you doing here! We thought you were at the city!" Said Yzak, "Sorry, but no one passes through here." Said Cyber-Athrun, and struck a martial-artist pose, "Well, we're so gonna kick your butt!" Said Auel, "I'll beat you all unmorphed!" Said Cyber-Athrun, "Ha! Let's see you try!" said Yzak.
Back at Heliopolis, Doom Zock is now all alone fighting the Rangers, with the GINN-borgs all incapacitated. "Gundam Mega-Blaster! FIRE!" and Zock is destroyed. "Minerva Empowerment" Said Talia as she saw Doom Zock is destroyed.
"Gundamzords! Descend!" The Rangers shouted as their Zords descend to form the Gundam Megazord, and fight against Doom Zock.
Back at the Seed Base area, Yzak, Auel and Sting summon their own GINN-borgs out of desperation. Cyber-Athrun certainly isn't the real Athrun, but he fights like the dickens! "We won't last like this! We need to retreat!" said Sting, Yzak, frustrated by Cyber-Athrun's fighting prowess, retreats begrudgingly.
As for the Megazord battle, Doom Zock successfully repelled the Megazord's attacks, "This isn't working! We need a new tactic!" Said Athrun, "How about a combo? A combination of our Power Attacks!" suggested Cagalli, "Alright, we'll give it a try!" Cagalli has Haro send the Gun Jet to power-up the Megazord.
"Alright, let's try something I was planning on doing!" Said Lunamaria, Kira formed the Freedom Power Ball and sent it up into the air, then Luna did the Impulse Power Punch and sent the energy ball straight for Doom Zock, destroying it.
"How did he fend them off like that?" asked Athrun, "Simple, I uploaded combat data from our previous fights and now Cyber-Athrun fights as fiercely as all of us combined." Said Cagalli, "Cool." Said Athrun.
"I'm…sorry, alright." Said Kira, "Alright, and thanks." Said Lacus. (As if anyone really cares what they were arguing about)
