Chapter 4
[Gaelio pov]
"... You've been asleep long enough, now awaken. "A smooth voice called out to him while his eyes were closed
Blue eyes opened and the immediate thing that they saw was light. The suns rays blinded Gaelio and caused him to close his eyes once more, before he brought up his body and opened his eyes again, realizing that he was surrounded by green.
"Good, I was about to start yelling to wake you up."
Now that he was awake and his mind was clear, Gaelio stood up and began to look for the one speaking to him, "W-who's there! Where am I? Where are you!"
"Calm yourself!"
Taking in what the unknown speaker told him, Gaelio stopped himself from ranting out of panic, and breathed in and out a couple of times to calm him and his growing heart rate.
He let out one more breath before asking a question "Okay... okay... now, answer my question. Who are you and where are you right now?" he asked, looking all over the environment to see if he could find the speaker.
"You know who Kimaris is, don't you?"
Immediate confusion clouded Gaelio's mind, and when he thought about what the unknown speaker was telling him, he believed his words to be a lie.
"W-what do you mean!? Kimaris is no human, and definitely doesn't have the power or the sentience to speak! Enough with the lies and tell me who you really are!" yelled Gaelio with outrage as he kept looking for the person speaking.
In response to his claims, "Kimaris" began to chuckle loudly, further urking the violet haired man's irritation.
"You're disbelief is definitely not unjustified, so allow me to prove to you that I am telling the truth." said the self-proclaimed Kimaris, getting nothing but an annoyed huff from the man, an action which didn't bother "Kimaris".
"You didn't pilot me until the day you pulled me out of your family's barracks to fight against the Gundam Barbatos."
...Ok, that was a convincing one. Though, it wasn't enough to sway Gaelio, and he hardened his expression to signify his that belief.
"You had a near death experience with your fight against Mcgillis when I was equipped with my Trooper upgrades, and as soon as you recovered, you wore the mask of Vidar."
That... was much more convincing than the latter. Unlike the previous fact, which was fairly easy to discover should somehow look at his family's records, Gaelio masking himself as Vidar was something that he didn't even reveal to Rustal before he revealed himself to Mcgillis.
"And most of all, I can remember your last conversation with that man. How you realized how you never saw through him, ever. How you never understood him, ever." after "Kimaris" showed his last bit of proof, Gaelio went silent.
... He didn't want to acknowledge it. The obvious reason was that Kimaris wasn't human. It didn't have any form of sentiance or an implemented A.I. But the other facts made him doubt his previous thoughts. All of the events stated by "Kimaris" were events that he was sure were not recorded into Gjallarhorns records. The only ones that witnessed those events we Mcgillis and... Kimaris.
Wanting to get the weight he felt in his heart, Gaelio moved onto his next question, "... Where are you?" he asked, his voice sounding weaker then it did before.
"I have no physical form as of now, so my existence resides inside your brain right now." Kimaris replied, making Gaelio even more confused "Simply put, I'm inside your mind, which is why you can't see me and can only listen to me."
Alright, that made more sense.
"Ok... so, another question. Where are we? The last thing I remember is being onboard Rustal's ship, and then..." when he jogged his memory, he remembered his fight with his former friend, and Gaelio felt a sudden rush of emotions.
Regret, sadness, confusion, it all came to him at once when he recalled the lifeless eyes of Mcgillis. HIs lips puckered slightly and his eyes squinted, indicating that he was doing his best to not allow any tears to begin welling up in his eyes. He was able to keep his cool, but the images of his last encounter with Mcgillis were not going to leave his mind for a while now.
"Sigh... it seems that despite how much you've changed compared to two years ago, some things have remained same. You never truly understood him, no matter how much you tried to, and now matter how much you wanted to." Kimaris' words were meant to console his partner, and it worked to an extent, but at the same time it made Gaelio's emotional state worse. Thinking it was best to change the topic, Kimaris decided to move on, "We are now in the world of Remnant, an entirely new world that shares no similarities to Earth or any other planets from our universe."
The sudden change of subjects came out of nowhere for the purple-haired man, but it did help him to forget about Mcgillis for a moment, so he just went along with it, "Remnant...?" he asked.
"There's too much to cover about this world, so I'll just list off the most important information; soulless monsters with an appetite for humans, each and every human has two science-fictional powers called aura and semblance, no continent here is the same as the ones on Earth, and there are no Mobile Suits."
...
"... W-what?!" Gaelio choked out after letting all of that register into his head.
Despite it sounding odd with his smooth and echoing voice, Kimaris was clearly chuckling, and stopped after a couple of seconds.
"N-no, wait! I can get over the fact that you're living in my brain now and that I'm in a completely different world, but... what?!" Gaelio didn't bother to try and hide his incredulousness after all he's been told.
"The fact that we're in a new world should be all the justification needed when it comes to explaining those things, no?" said Kimaris, somewhat sarcastically.
With all the things that he's been told, Gaelio needed to sit down and rub his temples a bit, to prevent the growing headache he was getting. He just wanted a break from all of this for a moment, and hopefully Kimaris would get the message if he was living in his mind.
But... despite Kimaris understanding Gaelio's need for a break from all the things he was telling him that didn;t mean he was going to comply with his wish.
In fact, he had a lot more things to say to him.
"Now with all of your important questions out of the way, I need to start... venting a little..." Kimaris' sudden ominousness was something the caught Gaelio off guard completely.
"W-what do you mean?" he asked, nervous because of the chilling feeling crawling up his spine.
He heard Kimaris sigh, the former Mobile Suit's ominousness suddenly disappearing for a second, before it came back full force, strengthening the cold feeling Gaelio felt.
"I've been quite disappointed with you..." Kimaris' smooth and echoing voice held a new found anger, and it Gaelio felt goosebumps all around his body, as if Kimaris' breath ran down his neck, "As a machine built for the sole purpose of protecting other people, I couldn't be anymore disappointed to have a pilot that has used me to do the exact opposite of what I was created to do. I had to sit back and watch as you continued to butcher my pride, forcing me to fight my brothers, making me sit back as innocent lives were wiped away, and worse, you did nothing to change Gjallarhorns corrupt state..."
... He knew. He knew about all that already! All the mistakes he made in the past, all the poor choices he made two years ago were embedded deep into his memory, and he didn't need anyone to remind him about those days. But, hearing those reminders from someone who suffered because of his choices amplified that regret he felt.
Gaelio's hands clenched and his eyes were obscured by his hair, his entire body was visibly shaking, showing that even more emotions were ready to be released from him.
Kimaris made an audible sigh and decided to stop with his verbal assault. He waited until his human partner calmed before he said anything else.
"You may have guessed this by now, but you're not the only one who has come here. If you want to start redeeming yourself, start by finding the other Gundam pilots that are in this world."
... What?
[Scene change – Regular pov]
In the deserts of Vacuo a White Fang base was under attack. Gunshots and explosions rang through the air, and numerous corpses lay on the ground.
Smoke filled the air, and White Fang grunts fired their weapons while they attempted to retreat to their base. The defenses they established around them were being whittled down, and all of their vehicles were destroyed, making escape impossible. They had but one choice, and that was to fight.
Regardless of whether they lived or not.
[Scene Change-White Fang base office]
"Dammit, what's going on out there?! Somebody report!" The White Fang commander roared into his scroll.
"Sir! They are hitting us hard and from all directions! They managed to to nearly wipe out all of our defenses and they destroyed all transportation!." responded a grunt on the phone line, his voice barely registering through the line because of the crackling of gunfire.
"Tch! How many are there!?" demanded the commander.
"J... just two, sir..."
"Two!? You mean to tell me you can't handle two huntsmen!? You worthless pieces of shit! "
"S-sir! They're not Huntsmen! They are-" the grunt on the line stopped abruptly, confusing the commander momentarily, before his voice came back, but with a great amount of dread in it.
"No... no, no, no- stay away...! Stay Away! No! NOOOOO-aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!" and with that scream, the call ended.
Panicked settled into the commander's body, and he began to visibly shake, "How... how is it that only two people were able to do this much damage! It's impossible! We of the White Fang haven't risen up just to be taken down like thi-!"
His monologuing ended when the walls caved in. He snapped his head up, only to have a hand grasp his head and throw him into the the only wall standing
"Gah...! Agh..." The White Fang leader's head hit the wall hard, and as he slid down to the ground, he groaned in pain. He slowly got up, his mask cracked because of the impact, before it fell from his face.
When he lifted his head to see who or what hit him, his slitted, yellow eyes widen in fear and shock.
Standing before the White Fang Commander was a white and blue humanoid machine, with a set of wings on its back, and in both its hands were two shar, golden swords. But the thing that stood out the most about the machine was it's menacing, glowing pinkish eyes.
Feeling confident in the fact that he was going to do, the leader decided to urge the mechanical enemy, "Well... finish it!" The WF commander roared at the white machine.
"... No, I need you alive." said the machine as it brought its head closer to the terrorist leader.
The commander was perplexed at the thought of being spared, "W-why... what would you gain from keeping me alive...?!" he asked angrily, hating the thought of being left alive just to suffer from this failure.
"I have message that I need you to give to your Leader and Comrades. If you do not wish to deliver it, then I will make you..." suddenly, the machine's tone become cold and threatening, unnerving the commander even more.
Despite how much he wanted to decline, the voice of the machine instilled fear in the commander, and not wanting to find out how he would be forced to rely the machine's message, the commander compiled, "W-w-what... m-message? " he asked, more dread leaking out of his reply than he would've liked.
His nerves spiked when the machines gripped his neck and lifted him into the air. If he was not afraid before, than he was now. He was face to face with the white monstrosity, and despite having soulless eyes, it was as if the machine's red monitors were glaring at him.
"Tell them: After everything the White Fang has done, I, Gundam Bael, will make them suffer, just as they made the lives of both humans and faunus suffer..."
