And...I'm back!
I'm actually surprised that this many people read this story of mine, and thank you all in advance for the continued support!
Anyway...looks like some didn't take too kindly to my April Fool's chapter, and I'm sorry for that.
And without further ado, here's chapter 2!
Speech:
Talking: "Gundam"
Whispering/muttering: "Gundam"
Thought: 'Gundam.'
Comms: "Gundam."

Chapter 2
? ?

Everything was quiet. He couldn't see anything, hear anything. He didn't even know where he was.
Could this be the afterlife? Did he die after all?
If so, maybe he could see Flay again. Apologize for failing to keep his promise. And maybe Mr Clyne, too. And even Tolle….
And yet, he still had a place to return to. He still had people waiting for him. His parents (well, okay, his ADOPTIVE parents. But they were still family), Sai, Miri, Cagalli, Miss Murrue, the staff of the Archangel, Mr. Waltfeld, Athrun, Lacus…
No, he can't die, not yet. If he died, all those people waiting for him….. they would be saddened. Hurt that he died.
'How long are you going to sleep, Kira?'
As if on cue, right as he heard those words, a bright light appeared in front of Kira in this expanse of darkness, and there was suddenly a feeling of standing on solid ground. As he tried to get a grasp of what's going on, a familiar figure appeared from within the light.
"Wait. Flay? Is that really you?"
'Time to wake up, Kira. After all, it's not nice to keep other people waiting.'
"Wait, Flay. What do you mean? What's going on?"
'Don't worry, Kira. Everything will be alright...'
As Flay said that, she started backing into the light. And almost as if by instinct, Kira started chasing her, hoping to get some answers.
"Flay, wait! I don't understand! Just what is going on?!"
He ran as fast as he could across this "floor", but Flay's figure kept getting further and further away.
'Time to wake up, Kira. Time to wake up.'
"Flay, WAIT!"
And suddenly, he was blinded, and enveloped by that bright light.
And just as quickly, all Kira could see was darkness.
"…s like he's sta….ciousness…."
A voice? A man's? 'Is he talking about me?' Kira thought, as he started stirring.
"…an see that. Wh….s condition, Doc'?"
"He se…e fine, but it appea…..e has suffered some kind o…..hink that it's best if we kept him under obse…..ust a bit longer, make sure he's alright."
As he faded in and out of consciousness, he started noticing that the man (a doctor, from what he could pick out) wasn't alone in here. Well, wherever 'Here' is.
"…l, just make sure he's okay, Doc', we have a lot of questions for the kid when he wakes-"
"Ah, and speak of the devil. Looks like the kid is awake."
As the young man started opening his eyes, he was met with a blinding flash, as his eyes adapt to the light in the room. He then noticed that he was in some kind of capsule, and he was dressed in what looks like a patient's garb.
"Well, rise and shine, sleeping beauty. Had a nice dream?" As the man finished his sentence, he noticed that the capsule began opening. Perhaps this was his cue to step out?
"Well, no…not really." As he got out of his 'bed', he felt a familiar feeling of weightlessness. Was he still in space? "Erm…sorry to ask, but, where am I? how long was I out?"
"Okay, in order of your questions. One, we're in the asteroid field region at Lagrange 3, any more than that, and I'm going to have to shoot you. And two, I think that makes two of us. But before we get that clarified, I need to ask you a few questions, to make sure that you're alright. Do you remember your name?"
'Lagrange 3?! That's a long way from Jachin Due.' "Yes, sir. My name is Kira Yamato."
"Alright, good. Now, what's the last thing you remember?"
"Well, the last thing I remember was that there was a large-scale battle, it was like the final stage of a war. Many of my friends died, and we were pushing to stop the Genesis from firing again, and I was going at it with a new ZAFT mobile suit. I finally managed to defeat it, but the weapon was about to fire, and I got caught in the blast. After that, everything is a blur…."
When Kira finished explaining what had happened, there was a long pause. The room got so quiet, he could almost hear his own heartbeat. After what seemed like a long time, a voice came back through the intercom.
"Err…...hey, kid. What do you think the date is? In year, month, and day."
'Why would they ask a question like that?' "Cosmic Era year 71, September 27th."
"…...I'm sorry, come again? 'Cosmic Era'? what the hell is that?"
Upon hearing the man's comment, Kira became very confused. "But…what do you mean? What year is it now?"
"It's 2312, and that's AD, by the way."
"Wait…AD? As in, Anno Domini?!" 'Oh, this can't be good.' Kira thought to himself.
"Yes, it's still AD, not some convoluted timeline like 'Cosmic Era'. We're not in some anime world, you know."
Sitting on the bed, Kira was shocked. 'They're still using the AD calendar? Just where the heck did I end up?'
And...That's Chapter 2, folks!
I apologize for the EXTREMELY short chapter, but this is kind of a transition phase for Kira to the 00 world. In fact, the "Transition arc" will be pretty much Kira being introduced to the technology of the 00 universe(and likewise, the main team being introduced to the Cosmic Era Technology currently still left on the freedom), especially the Gundams and members of Celestial Being.
Once again, I sincerely apologize for the very s*tty April Fool chapter, and for a very short chapter.
Now then, since there's more than enough reviews, time I made a few replies here.
worldwanderer2.0: Prologue is off to an okay start but it's a short chapter. At least there aren't any spelling typos or grammar issues typically seen in from a beginning writer. I hope to see interesting things develop because there isn't a lot to go on.
Yeah, we kinda already discussed this a little through our PM. but regardless, thank you for the short review.
Heavenschoir: Please continue. I am eager to read more from you.
And thank YOU for your continued support.
Guest: Update
Woah, dude. Chill. Did I NOT just updated the story right as you left this review(back when i posted chapter 1)?
Peroroncino: Why so short and what's with the long update
WOAH, Peroroncino-sama, what are you doing here?! Don't you have a Guild Base to-oh, wait.
JumpingToaster: Yet another story with a potentially promising premise but is too early to tell. Unless a story comes out regularly every other week or so the chapters should be of decent length per chapter since otherwise one's attention might wander elsewhere
Since you two(you and Peroroncino) asked about what is effectively the same thing(long gaps between updates), I'll give you both a combined answer:
I'm a VERY casual writer, so I don't have a lot written, and most of these chapters were already written in advance, so I can go back and go through them, and see where in my script that I would need correcting. Also, the two months is mostly for MY own sanity, so that I don't drive myself insane from pressure born of Writer's block, and keeping schedule.
Personally, I would LOVE to do a monthly, or maybe even bi-weekly, release, but I can only afford to do that if I've written at least TEN chapters ahead of time. And as of now, I'm NOWHERE near that amount to do that, so please forgive me for the long updates, and I look forward to your continued support.
heavenschoir: What the hell did I just read...
Umm...My idea of an April Fool joke?
ExodiaGeass8910: Here is my question - will the fact Kira is a Coordinator interfere with or assist him should he end up with enough GN exposure to begin Innovation - and is he likely to make it back to the CE universe, possibly with GN tech - even a GN drive possibly - thereby changing how the second season of SEED goes? I like how you have this going - although I will laugh if the CE folks find some way to travel to the 00 universe... I can already see the Archangel giving the Federation military a hard on. Especially if upgraded with GN tech... I look forward to how this story progresses, with hopefully a bit longer chapters as is viable.
I already have the base story KINDA worked out, And SOMETHING about Kira will affect him, just that it's not him being a Coordinator. Anything else is spoiler territory.
If I told you anymore than that, I'd have to kill you.
Blank: Fck you Man u got me there and I've waited so long for this shit and u made it into a joke
Relax, dude. Here's the ACTUAL chapter 2. Sorry about the April Fool Chapter.
Mason: This fanfiction is one of my favorites and will continue to be so for a long while, the reason for this is as follows: You used the other universe and that is rarely done. Spoiler: its the 00 universe.
Oh, c'mon. I'm sure that there's plenty of other crossovers that use the "SEED cast in the 00 world" setting, right? Right?
Goes to see the other stories in this category.
HOLY S* IT'S THIS RARE?!
Anyways, thank you for the support. And do look forward to more.
And with that, it's a wrap! see you all next time!
As usual: Like, Review, and Favorite.(up to you whether you want to or not)
