Here is another chapter~! :3 And I have a story cover up too~! :3 It is of Omnimon's emblem here. It is the Crest of Friendship with the points of the Crest of Courage, but this will become a golden color on his cape later on. The only thing that is not is the grey slash mark. :3
Opening Files: Genetic abilities
Genetics can make up everything alive. But in some realities, genetics can grant unusual abilities. This is the case for Dimension O-000, as they have what can only be described as genetic abilities, or abilities that are ingrained in their genes.
These abilities are the SEED and STAR Factors, as well as Newtype abilities. The SEED and STAR Factors increase a user's accuracy, reaction and response time, and precision as well as grant them the ability to see patterns otherwise missed by those without the SEED and STAR Factors. Meanwhile, the Newtype abilities range from heightened spatial awareness to things like reading an opponent's intentions in battle mentally, or even outright telepathic skills. The most common skills are the ability to use remote weapons called DRAGOONs, heightened spatial awareness, and reading an opponent's intentions in battle mentally.
In GF-007, these genetic abilities translate to Aura and a Semblance. Although there are those who do not have a Semblance, but do have an Aura. These people are called the Semblanceless, meaning they do not have the genetic skill to unlock their Semblance. But to make up for the lack of such a power, a Semblanceless person will have Aura reserves twice that of a person who has a Semblance.
"A skill can be as innate as one wants to make it. Some humans have a natural tendency to incline towards certain skills that come to them naturally." TOM said as he closed the Genetic abilities file. "But some people do not have such a luxury and have to work extra hard at keeping up with their peers."
He then pushed a button that showed two metallic beings, combining into one. "Take these two mechs. They have a unique ability that is encoded into their systems, and yet others who have the same ability have had to undergo modifications to do this same combination technique."
TOM then faced the camera. "So, what comes naturally to you? Do others dislike you for it? Do they feel envious? And do you feel envious of someone else who can do something you have trouble with?" He then tented his fingers. "Because envy can become jealousy, and that can become hate. And hate can breed more hate. So, don't feel jealous of others who can do something you can't. They can't help it. Instead, support them, and give them encouragement. Who knows? You just might get that as well one day."
Primarchial Defender
Saber Convoy looked out at space, seeing the debris from the Space Race still lingering around. Not to mention other things like the remains of a few ships.
In fact, he was investigating one such ship. It was the remains of a ship similar to the one they had first seen upon arriving in this dimension, and he was curious to see what secrets it held inside. Saber Convoy opened the main hatch, only to see it was too small for him to slip inside without destroying the ship's halls. Growling to himself, he disconnected from his main body and out came the smaller, human-sized component called the Brain Master. In this form, he was more than able to go where most of his kind could not.
His main robot form had turned into its jet form, and was now attached to the ship's sides. Saber, as his smallest form was known, floated in, a small, hand-held weapon drawn at the ready. His optics, a blue color in this form, roved over the ship's halls, seeing the shattered remains of what had to be energy-based beings. But what stood out to him was the fact that these beings all had stones on their persons, and those stones were mostly shattered.
Saber made his way to where the bridge had to be, and as soon as he found it, he saw the main door was blown open. He floated in and saw what had to be the crew in the bridge itself. Looking around, Saber's optics saw a console that looked like it was still functional, but barely. No doubt it was running on back-up power, he mused as he drifted over.
Once at the console, his fingers flew over the keys, hoping to get some kind of understanding as to what language was used. His translation software and programming kicked in, running a comparison to his own language as well as that of Earth's. However, there was no translation that could be come across, as even though he had countless languages from many different civilizations installed, none of them matched this one.
The Supreme Commander sighed when he realized the translation was useless. "Well, sir?" Ratchet asked over the com-line. "Any luck?"
"Negative, Ratchet." Saber replied at last. "The language is one that even I don't understand."
"Well, to be fair, you were offline for a thousand Earth years." Ironhide pointed out. "So, it makes sense you wouldn't understand it."
"Don't go there, Ironhide." The Convoy growled, but he knew his weapons expert was right. He had been missing for a long time.
He was about to close down the console when he caught sight of something else. It was a tablet of some kind, and it appeared to still be functional. Saber Convoy floated over to it and grabbed the tablet. Looking it over, it seemed to be locked, but moving his finger on the screen revealed it could be opened without a code. Although it required an energy signature of some kind to access certain things on it, the rest seemed to be open for review.
"Ratchet, this is Saber. I appear to have found something of value." Saber Convoy reported.
"What is it, then?" The head medic asked.
"Some kind of tablet." The commander replied. "It's open for review, but there are some features that are locked."
"Then bring it back onboard!" Ratchet snapped. "It could give us an idea of what this ship we found is!"
Saber just sighed, albeit with a smile. "You know I am well aware of what to do." He said as he drifted towards where his main body was in its jet mode, tablet in hand. Entering the cockpit of his main body, Saber then took the controls and began to fly back to the ship. Once a decent distance away, he wound up returning to his regular body by transforming and his human-sized Brain Master form was now back in place in the chest where it was supposed to be.
Entering the Primarchial Defender, Saber Convoy was greeted by Ratchet. "Well, is that the tablet?" He asked as the mech brought it out of storage. It was tiny compared to their size, but that would change once they had its data on the ship's computer.
"It is." Saber Convoy replied as Ratchet took it.
"I'll get Jazz started on the download and translation." Ratchet said as he then walked off, using his magnets to hold himself to the floor. Saber Convoy sighed before he drifted into where the artificial gravity was active on the ship.
Ironhide was waiting for him. "Anything unusual?"
"Just the beings on that ship had gems on their persons that were shattered and cracked." Saber Convoy replied as he walked to where the windows were. The stars of space glistened without any changes that could be discerned. "And all were deceased."
"So you think some kind of battle took place here?" The black mech asked as his commander nodded.
"I do." Saber replied at last. "And there were lots of combatants involved."
Looking out at the ship again, Saber frowned to himself. 'But just who were those combatants…?' He mused to himself. 'That is what we need to know…'
Chicago
Omnimon, Shannon, and Donnie were now headed back to GrimmFall to report to Mayor Sebben about the mission's status. "So, was the mission a success or a failure?" Shannon asked as the Royal Knight looked back at her.
"While we did not delete Myotismon, we did drive him away from the city." Omnimon replied. "As such, the mission would be labeled a success…for the time being anyway."
"So we will need to go after him again?" Donnie asked.
"Down the road, yes. But given he was not expecting me, that could be for a while yet." The Grimm Slayer noted.
Shannon took out her phone. "Well, I think we can report to Mayor Sebben that the mission was a success using my phone."
Omnimon and Donnie looked at her. "You really are prepared." Donnie noted as a joke.
Shannon gave a fake glare. "Ha ha. Very funny, turtle boy." She shot back, with a smile on her face of course.
"Children!" Omnimon chided, although he chuckled as well. The threesome burst out laughing before they knew it.
Shannon calmed down before dialing the mayor's number. "Hello?" Mayor Sebben asked.
"Hey. It's Shannon." Shannon replied. "Donnie, Omni, and I are headed back."
"Ah, and what of the mission?" The mayor asked now.
"Well…while we didn't exactly get rid of Myotismon…we did drive him from the city." She reported at last.
"So he is still out there then…" Mayor Sebben mused grimly.
Omnimon gave a nod. "Yes, and although the threat was not eliminated as I had thought we would, at least he is no longer threatening others."
"That is all I ask." Mayor Sebben assured the trio.
Archangel
On the famed 'White Legend', Leo was standing against the wall while he watched the elite Zero Squadron assemble in the pilot briefing room. Earlier, he had been shocked they knew of Sammael, but when it was revealed they had done research and recorded data from the history books their infiltration teams had read, he had been impressed.
But now it was time for their lecture on Sammael. All members were soon in the room, save for the eight still out in the field.
"I see all of you are here." He noted as Rear Admiral Joule just grunted.
"Let's just get this over with." The silver-haired human replied.
Leo nodded before the main screen came down. The lights went dark and the screen lit up, showing an image of a red-haired human with black sclera and glowing red irises. His skin was pale with the black and purple veins that signified the status of a Fallen.
"This…is an image of Sammael." Leo began. "And some claim he is the first ever Fallen."
Nicol raised a hand. "And just what is a Fallen?"
Leo looked to the green-haired human before him. "That is a good question." He said. "I am surprised you don't know, given all the information you gathered."
"Well, the teams didn't exactly read through all the books yet…" Athrun admitted.
That was a valid point, Leo noted. "Makes sense. Anyway, a Fallen is a human who has been infused with what is known as the Dark Substance. It is what makes up Grimm, and is very deadly to anything organic."
At once, the air in the room seemed to change as Admiral Yuy's voice took on an icy tone. "So…you're saying that humans are these Fallen?" He growled out.
"Yes, but also Mobians and Faunus, although the former is rarer than the latter." Leo replied as he looked at the admiral. "Anyway, back on topic. A Fallen is very dangerous, and Sammael is considered the Fallen to avoid." He continued as he looked at the elite unit again.
"And how is he the Fallen to avoid?" Rear Admiral Joule asked with a scoff.
Leo brought up an image of a man who looked buff, and wore an outfit that could be called the American Spirit outfit. It was an image of Uncle Sam, General Allen realized. "That's the image of a major symbol of America, Uncle Sam."
"Yes." Leo replied as he looked at her now. "But here, Uncle Sam was a real person."
That stunned the Americans in the room. "HAH?!" Tao, Liz, Derek, Hela, Brett, and General Allen all exclaimed.
"I take it in your universe he is not real?" Leo asked, noting their surprise.
"That's right." Derek said. "But to hear he is a real person here? Wow." He added as he shook his head.
"Was a real person." Leo corrected. "It was Sammael who killed him."
General Allen narrowed her eyes at this. "So? How does that prove Sammael is a threat too big for even us?"
"Uncle Sam was considered the strongest hero in the world in his time." Leo explained. "The source of his powers is a spirit that was created as a defense for America here. It is invoked, or transferred, to a host using the Declaration of Independence as the source. Any new successor has to sign the declaration to get the spirit. In addition, they are considered the most powerful in the world because of the power of this spirit."
General Allen caught on quickly. "And Sammael killed Uncle Sam…?" She whispered.
"Yes." Leo replied. "If that is possible, then what chance would you guys, who have no Aura or Semblances, stand?"
To hear those words sent chills running down the spines of the unit's members. Even Rear Admiral Joule looked uneasy, and he was one of the few members who was hard to scare in any meaningful way.
"In that case, we will have to keep as low a profile as possible." Admiral Yuy noted. "And that means we can't go after Satyra, because if we do, then we risk Sammael knowing about us."
Leo looked at him in a serious manner. "Sammael has certain Grimm, called Seers, that can observe the world around him." The turtle Mobian said, surprising the unit.
"Oh, great…" Dearka moaned. "Don't tell me we can't surface anymore…"
"Sammael doesn't use his Seers very often." Leo assured the pilot. "But he does observe areas that are of interest."
Heero looked to Leo. "And what of our area?" He asked as the Mobain glanced back at him. "Is Sammael using one of his Seers in this area right now?"
"Not as far as I can sense." Leo replied. "Although, that could change if you do anything that catches his eye a third time."
Athrun caught that. "A third time?"
"Yes." Leo confirmed. "When you fought that Mummeist Grimm. That was one of his better Grimm, so the fact you defeated it most likely caught his attention."
"What?!" The unit all exclaimed at once.
Off against the wall, Commander Mu la Flaga groaned. "Great…and here I thought we were unnoticed here after all our precautions…"
"Even the best can make mistakes." Athrun pointed out.
"No one, not even a ninja, can disappear completely." Leo added. "Although it is possible to make the trail almost impossible to follow, there will always be a small trail that can be picked up on."
Heero looked down as he frowned to himself. Was it truly impossible to avoid confronting this Sammael if he already knew of their existence? If it was, then how could he ensure his unit survived…?
GrimmFall
Akira and Flay made their way into sight of where there was a burned down salon. Looking at it, the Coordinator frowned to himself. How was it that they had missed seeing that place ablaze?
Recalling how the fire was 'mysterious' according to the papers, Akira wondered if he and Flay should investigate. As it stood, things were now getting more intense because their overall mission of tracking down Satyra's leader had been called off by Admiral Yuy.
"What should we do now?" Flay asked as she looked at her Coordinator teammate. Aki' looked back at her and made to speak when both jumped as they heard an unfamiliar voice. It was deep, cultured, and male.
"And what do we have here?" The voice asked as both pilots whirled around, only to see a cat Mobian that had beady purple irises staring back at them.
Katz, having returned to GrimmFall after meeting with Sammael, hadn't expected to see two humans eyeing the former salon he had once run. Maybe one of them knew where the Fire Elemental was, he mused to himself.
The black-haired human backed up, a hard look in his green eyes while the redhead looked nervous, but she too had a hard look in her eyes as well.
"What do you want?" The black-haired male asked as the cat Mobian chuckled.
"I merely wish for some information." Katz replied.
Hearing the Mobian wanted information, Aki' tensed as he gritted his teeth. "What kind of information?"
"Just where the Fire Elemental is." The Mobian replied.
Flay and Aki' both gained confused looks. "Fire Elemental?" They both asked as one. That surprised the Mobain it seemed, for it showed on his face briefly before it faded quickly.
"I see you don't know what I am talking about then." The Mobian said as he shook his head. "How tragic."
Looking up, the Mobian's eyes seemed to glow a bit, but Aki' didn't back down. Or so it seemed. Then, he felt a bit funny, like something was trying to get into his mind and make him see his worst fears. Acting quickly, Aki' focused on the feeling of fury and his SEED exploded in his mind's eye, causing them to glaze over and the pupils to contract down to nothing but pinpricks. The Mobian then backed up as he grasped at his head briefly. The SEED went dormant again as the human closed his eyes, only to open them again. "What? Cat got your tongue?" He joked with a grim smirk.
Katz didn't know what it was, but somehow this human had been able to counter his Semblance before it could get to him. Deciding to hold off on using it again, the Mobian ran at the human, who got into a fighting stance. He threw a punch towards the human, but the male just dodged and blocked with an arm. While Katz looked skinny and weak, as a Mobian, his strength was still greater than that of a human. Many Huntsmen and Huntresses had learned that the hard way, as his record clearly showed.
But to his surprise, this human was not only able to counter his moves and prevent his Semblance from being used on his mind, the male human was also able to match his strength! Katz growled to himself. "You're strong for a human." He noted.
"Shows what you know." The human countered before launching into a round kick. Katz barely ducked the blow and scratched at the human's leg. However, he only got the male human's pant leg, not flesh and blood like he had been hoping. Katz then attempted to hit the human's groin area, but instead got another kick coming at him, and this one made contact. The Mobian went staggering back as the human turned to face him again.
Aki' grunted as he faced down the cat Mobian, his eyes narrowing slightly. He knew he had to be careful, as he had no idea as to what this Mobian had as a…Semblance was it? 'Yeah, Semblance.' He thought. He had to be careful because he didn't know what this Mobian had for his Semblance. As it was, using physical strength was his best bet. However, the Coordinator was thrown for a loop when he saw this black - aura was it? – slither out from the Mobian's body. It surrounded the Mobian, and then Aki' knew he was in trouble.
'Crap!' The pilot thought to himself. 'If that is an Aura, then I'm in some deep shit…'
"Not bad for a human." The Mobian purred. "But how will you last now when I have my Aura to defend me?"
Flay looked uneasy, as did Aki'. "Um…Alex…I think we had best run!" She squeaked out, using his code name.
"Right behind you, Fiona…" He murmured back before both turned and ran for cover. The Mobian chuckled as he then gave chase.
Akira and Flay ran as fast as they could, and given their training, that was fast. In Aki's case, his genetic enhancements were giving him an edge as well, not that it mattered much anyway. He looked back, only to see the cat Mobian still chasing them.
"Damn it!" Aki' hissed as he looked ahead again. "This guy's still on our tail!"
Looking around frantically, Flay then saw a possible place to escape. "There!" She exclaimed, pointing at where there was a large building that had a J and F on the front while there was an American Flag outside it.
The two ran into the building, the doors opening to let them in before they closed behind the two pilots. The cat Mobian was forced to stop a distance away from the building as Aki' looked back outside. A scowl was on the Mobian's face before he turned and walked off, leaving both elite soldiers inside and safe.
Flay slumped back against the glass of the lobby, panting heavily. "He's gone…" She sighed at last.
"Yeah…" Aki' agreed as he too fell to his rump, tired as well although not to the extent the female Natural was. Aki' then looked at Flay. "What do you think that Mobian wanted with us?"
"Who knows?" Flay said. "I'm just glad we survived him…"
The Coordinator nodded. "Yeah, me too." He agreed with a few nods of his head. "As it is, we wouldn't have stood a chance with his Aura active. We only have so much ammo."
"Not to mention his Semblance thing." Flay pointed out. "We have no idea what it even is."
"I know." Aki' growled out. "Even though we are part of a spec-ops unit, and the best one in our universe at that, here we are completely out of our element! We don't even have Auras or Semblances of our own!"
Looking down at his hands, the black-haired Coordinator frowned as he clenched them. "We have no idea on how to proceed here. We're literally flying blind in this case."
Getting to his feet, Aki' looked at Flay again. "C'mon. We can't stay here."
"Where can we go?" Flay asked as she stood up beside him. "I mean, that Mobian may be watching here to see if we leave."
Aki' gave her a smirk. "Who said we had to leave out looking like normal folks here?" He asked as he pointed at his backpack.
Realizing what he meant, the redhead grinned.
Katz watched the entrance of the Justice Friends HQ for any sign of the two humans leaving, but after an hour of waiting, there was no sign of them. Instead, he saw what had to be the 'faceless ones', as they were becoming known, emerge from the entrance. Or was it through the glass?
He cocked an eyebrow at seeing the two 'faceless ones', but paid them no mind since they seemed to be only ghosts. Katz returned to his vigil, unaware that his quarry had slipped out beneath his nose, literally in this case.
Flay giggled, face unseen by the cat Mobian. "He didn't even see us!"
"Oh, he saw us alright." Aki' noted, but a grin could be heard in his voice. "He just didn't see us, if you know what I mean."
What the Coordinator meant was that the Mobian had not seen their faces due to their helmets obscuring any visual due to the dark-grey glass faceplate. And because of that, they had managed to slip out as the 'faceless ones'.
"Don't worry, I do." Flay snickered. She could just imagine Aki's golden eyes alight with amusement at the fact they had managed to avoid the cat Mobian through such a simple means.
"Still, we will have to be careful." Aki' said as his playful tine faded and became serious. "If we are out and about with that cat Mobian out here, we will have to wear our flight suits to avoid being recognized."
"No duh!" Flay agreed.
The two managed to get back to the hotel, only to enter through the balcony door, having scaled the wall using their gecko-like boots. Flay reached up and removed her helmet and 'Snoopy' cap, Aki' doing the same thing. Her red hair fell out of its bun as his black hair fell free behind his back.
"Never imagined we would have to don our flight suits just to avoid being seen." Aki' said as Flay nodded.
"Yeah…" She murmured before silence fell upon the two of them.
Archangel
That night, Admiral Yuy stood in the hallway, watching the fish swim by while he was inside, wearing his pajamas.
Leo walked up to him, making sure the admiral heard his footsteps so as to not spook or startle the human. "Something on your mind?"
"You could say that." Heero replied at last.
"What is it, then?" The Mobian asked as he joined the Enhanced in looking out at the underwater world that sat outside their ship's hull.
There was silence for a moment before Heero finally spoke. "How can we avoid confronting Sammael?" He asked at last. "And if we can't…how can I make sure my team stays alive…?" It was clear this was bothering the man greatly, Leo noted.
"You can't avoid him completely." Leo said. "But…you can make sure he doesn't learn of you guys so easily."
Heero looked back at Leo in surprise. "So, you're saying we don't use our machines unless there is no other option?"
"Correct." Leo replied. "But it's not like he can see inside the cockpits when they are closed, right?"
Heero looked down, noting that Leo had a point. As long as they followed those two rules, no using the Gundams unless no other options existed and keeping the cockpits shut while using their flight suits, then they had a decent chance of their identities not being found out.
He smiled as he looked up at Leo. "Thanks." Leo just gave a smile back and a thumbs up.
GrimmFall
Major Glory looked over the security footage from that day, having noted two civilians had been chased by Katz earlier, only for the serial killer to leave and not pursue them further. However, it was their conversation after reaching safety that got his attention.
"He's gone…" The redhead's image sighed at last as she slumped back against the glass of the lobby, panting heavily
"Yeah…" The black-haired man's image agreed as he too fell to his rump, tired as well although not to the extent the redhead was. His then looked at redhead's image. "What do you think that Mobian wanted with us?"
"Who knows?" The redhead's image said. "I'm just glad we survived him…"
The black-haired man's image nodded. "Yeah, me too." He agreed with a few nods of his head. "As it is, we wouldn't have stood a chance with his Aura active. We only have so much ammo."
"Not to mention his Semblance thing." The redhead's image pointed out. "We have no idea what it even is."
"I know." The black-haired man's image growled out. "Even though we are part of a spec-ops unit, and the best one in our universe at that, here we are completely out of our element! We don't even have Auras or Semblances of our own!"
Looking down at his hands, the black-haired man's image frowned as he clenched them. "We have no idea on how to proceed here. We're literally flying blind in this case."
Getting to his feet, the black-haired man's image looked at redhead's image again. "C'mon. We can't stay here."
"Where can we go?" The redhead's image asked as her image stood up beside the black-haired man's image. "I mean, that Mobian may be watching here to see if we leave."
The black-haired man's image gave the redhead's image a smirk. "Who said we had to leave out looking like normal folks here?" His image asked as it pointed at the backpack.
Realizing what the black-haired man's image meant, the redhead's image grinned.
As Major Glory closed down the screen, he had to wonder if those two were from another universe that Van Kleiss was after. It seemed possible, and yet, what universe lacked people or inhabitants without powers?
Just then, the door opened and he looked back. It was Tikki Torch. "What's got your attention?" He asked as the symbol of peace looked back at the images again.
"I believe we were just visited by two newcomers." The major rumbled to his fellow hero. "And they are not from our universe, just like the two Digimon with us currently."
Tikki Torch was surprised. "Are you sure?"
Major Glory nodded. "Yes, but what gets me is that these two, in the recording I just watched, mentioned they were part of a special operations unit."
"So, they have military training then?" The Class V Huntsman asked as he got a nod in return.
"Yes, it would seem so." Major Glory agreed. He then brought up the image of the two walking into a closet, only for two beings wearing white and lacking faces to emerge instead of the two humans who had entered beforehand.
Tikki Torch looked surprised. "Hold on. I thought two humans entered that closet. How could they just disappear? And who, and what, are those things?"
Major Glory looked back at Tikki Torch. "I have reason to suspect those two 'beings' are in fact the two soldiers that entered the closet. "
A whistle escaped the tiki-themed hero. "Wow. If that is the case, then hiding their faces definitely makes it harder to track them down to find out how they got here."
"Yes." The symbol of peace agreed.
"And it would seem they are quite adept at avoiding being found." The major said as it showed the white ship, the Archangel, below the waves with its golden symbol on the side.
Inside the ship, Heero sat at his desk as he typed away at a document on his computer. On it sat notes that he was currently getting sorted out, and some of it was about Sammael and the other Fallen.
His dark blue eyes were narrowed as he typed up more information, namely about Sammael's origins. Many of the books that had been read and scanned for documentation had been written by leading authorities on the subject, namely the famed 'Secret Saturdays' if what he read about them was correct.
"So…Sammael's origins are sketchy at best, but if what is mentioned is true, then he was around during this Forgotten Age…" Heero mused. "And if that's the case, then…"
Already a plan was running through his mind. If they couldn't deal with Satyra or take the fight to the Grimm and Fallen themselves, then maybe they could help the fight in another way. His thoughtful face faded to a frown as the admiral realized that his unit would have to, once again, do something that was out of their comfort zone, namely go digging at ruins. Yes, the elite military unit that was so skilled in battle would have to become mundane archeologists if they wanted to get any headway in the fight against the Grimm.
Heero sighed as he leaned back in his chair and ran a hand through his brown hair. 'Well, if we can't fight, and we can't take on Satyra, then we have no choice but to do this instead.' He mused at last. 'However, if push comes to shove, we should be able to fight against any Grimm that come after us, given how we have our machines with us this time.'
Just as he thought that, the admiral snorted to himself. While it was true they had their Gundams with them now, there were a few limitations that were in place. And one of those limitations was the fact that the unit was not allowed to use their main weapons unless the 'Magnum Command' was given. Names for the Buster Magnum rifle that Wing Zero used, it was a command that stated that, unless the Secretary General of the UEN gave direct permission to fire it at full power, the Twin Buster Rifle function of the Buster Magnum was not to reach 100 percent of its power. The Buster Magnum mode went up to only 20%, and to exceed that required overriding the limitation program. If it was overridden, then the Secretary General had the authority to punish the unit accordingly. However, that had not occurred because the power level had not reached 100%. This command could also extend to the other weapons of the unit, namely the GN Rail Cannon of another ship, and the positron weapons of the ships of the unit.
As such, without the command, Zero Squadron was limited in what weapons they could use to fight the Grimm. But it didn't really matter, because in the end, their ordinary weapons worked just as well.
'But if we fight a Dragon Grimm, then it gets a bit sketchy…' Heero thought before he closed down the notes and stood up. It was time to address his unit about their plan of action.
Archangel briefing room
Leo and the rest of Zero Squad sat around as Admiral Yuy walked in. He had called an emergency meeting, and now it was time to address the situation.
"Okay, now that we are all here, we can get started." Heero said as he brought up the notes he had been working on. "Basically put, against the Fallen we have all heard of, and the Grimm, we don't stand a chance."
His blunt statement made the unit's members wince. "However, with that in mind, there is a way we can help in this fight." Heero continued, making Liz perk up.
"So, what are you saying?" She asked.
"I'm saying we don't have to get involved in combat to make a difference." Heero explained. "Basically, we look to the past as we head towards the future."
"Huh?!" Liz was confused before General Allen spoke up.
"What Heero means is we learn from the past." She clarified. "Basically, all of our answers lie in the past, as in, hidden inside ruins, right?" She added as she looked at the admiral.
"Yes." Heero replied.
Leo then got the idea. "So, you guys are going to go poking around for ruins from the Forgotten Age?"
"Yes." Admiral Yuy said. "If what we know, from the information we have gathered so far, is correct, then some of, if not most of, our answers are there."
Captain Ramius frowned at that. "But then that means we will have to risk leaving the water and take the chance at being exposed."
Heero looked at her. "Yes, but this is where we can do something to prevent that." He said as he then glanced at Commander White. "And we have one ship that can avoid getting spotted, no matter what."
Commander White's eyes went wide as she realized what her superior was getting at. "You mean…?" She whispered.
"Yes. We are using your ship for this mission." Heero replied.
The team knew what he meant. It was time for the second of the famed ships to make its appearance…
A new force is involved in the battle against the Grimm and Fallen now.
(Shows the golden emblem of Zero Squadron)
Out of many futures, only one is the future of peace
(The Earth is shown with Faunus, Mobians, and humans living on it with one notable difference: there are no Grimm or Fallen)
How can this team influence the future? And are they truly the ones to find out the secret behind Sammael's origins?
(Colonies in space are shown above a planet Earth that has three orbital elevators rising from its surface, a large asteroid floating in Earth orbit as well)
A future that is deemed impossible to achieve, is now looming a bit closer on the horizon…
New York sewers
Master Splinter perked up as his Crystal Vision Ball flared. He stood up and walked over to it, only to see something he never expected just on the horizon.
Images showed up, showing the white legged ship, and then the 'War Men', followed by a golden emblem that had appeared with the announcement to Satyra once before. Then, more images came into view, this time showing a shimmering outline of another ship, and then a glowing crystal that looked like a Dust crystal, but brighter and more potent in energy output, followed by the appearance of a winged 'War Man', wielding twin guns, one per hand, and finally the image of a seed-like object falling and exploding with a red vertical ring around it, the object white in color.
The images faded as the glow died off, leaving Master Splinter confused as to how this tied into what was going on. Then, once more, the ball flared, showing images of the genetics of a Fallen.
The ball went dark again, making the rat Mobian ponder this new information. What did this mean…?
Zero Squadron prepares for a new mission just as Master Splinter gets a vision from his Crystal Vision Ball. What awaits now? Read on to find out~! :3
Note: There will be a GrimmFall Movie from me about Agunimon and his quest to regain his most powerful evolution. I hope you will all read it, as it will be on this very site as well. :3
