Woohoo, time for the new update. I'm not sure how long is has been. This chapter is short or long? Depends on how much words you consider in a chapter. Anyways, rewatched the whole series together with Seed and Seed Destiny and I'm watching it all over again. Yahey! Anyways, I didn't really like how I began this chapter but I was pleased at the ending. I probably wasn't pleased with how I just put a line separation after two to three short-ass paragraphs. Damn. But it went alright at the end. In fact, I loved writing the ending and this chapter was a pleasure to write. Also, I hope you like the surprises that will come later into the chapter.
By the way, the answer to my question in the previous chapter will be shown after this chapter.
Whopee, longest chapter ever. So far. In this story I mean. Hopefully, I'll be able to churn out lengthy, high-quality work.
Is this chapter of good quality?
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Sergie Smirnov stared at the bald man on the screen.
So he's claiming responsibility for this armed intervention.
In a hospital farther away, a different redhead man glared at the screen.
"So they're the ones who put me here? Bastards."
In Japan, Kinue Crossroad stared hard and long as he spoke. She swore he looked familiar. Maybe it was an article she read before? Or maybe and article she had to study during her school. Aelioa Schenberg.
Then she remembered his work for solar energy. "That man!"
Wang sat in her seat, comfortable. She looked out the window. She'd never comprehend these lines, after all, she never had any interest in engineering.
"The world's beginning to change Hong Long."
Marina Ismail stared at the TV with a frown while Shirin stood behind the sofa.
Her voice was soft.
"So they want to end war with more war?"
Laughter could be heard as a jeep drove across the sand dunes.
"Ha! Now that's rich! They really want to use force to eliminate war? Celestial Being." Graham focused on the road with a smirk. "Your whole existence is a contradiction to yourself."
Billy looked at him from the side.
Alejandro Corner stared out the window with a glass in hand.
"Ribbons. It has begun. Humanities reformation."
A man with mint-green hair stood blankly with a short smile on his face.
Alejandro took a swig of his glass and continued to stare.
Soon, the world will be mine.
"Hallelujah. It's as if all the worlds evil is being exposed to the world."
Tieria looked at his comrade while Setsuna stood next to Christina.
"Humanity is being tested by the power of Celestial Being."
Sumeragi stood behind her own seat. "That is a terrible misdeed." Her face was downcast.
Setsuna nodded himself. "Indeed."
Lockon turned off his data-pad.
"Well this is it. We started it." He paused. "And now it can't be stopped."
The Haro next to him jumped. "It won't stop! It won't stop!"
There was a soft hiss as his female companion took off her own helmet.
He stared at the girl. When did his adopted-sister grow up?
"Hey, we just picked a fight with the entire world. Do you know what this means Feldt?"
Feldt stared at him softly. Of course she did.
"Yep. I know. I know because we're all Gundam meisters."
She stared up at Astrea.
I'll end this war. For you mother. You too father.
The Astrea will help her through this. And if she'll ever doubt herself, there will always be Setsuna and the others who will pick her up, dust her clothes off and send her on her merry way before doing the same thing all over again.
"Mr Ian. There's something I want you to work on."
The grizzled man looked at the ruby-eyed man. In his hand was a data-pad.
"Huh? What's this?"
He took the data-pad before flicking it on. He was met face-to-face with another set of blue-prints.
A mobile armor, huh?
He took a look at the armaments.
"So... a mobile armor. What for?" Ian continued to scroll through the blue-prints. He could make a few tweaks here and there. Maybe even a small particle bazooka just to even up their odds.
The man looked at him. "Considering the fact that I am not able to use the Exia, I guess I just wanted an excuse to go out and battle." Setsuna shrugged. "I feel very cooped up in here. And besides, my mobile armor uses a charging system. Together with some less than stellar use of regular force weapons. And by the way, if you do consider creating this, I leave the weapons to you. I would prefer it if you put some more ranged weapons."
Ian nodded his consent. "Hey, did boss lady give you the green for this thing?"
As Setsuna was about to leave, he answered with a shake of his head. "I was about to go to her now."
Ian laughed at the boy. The kid had some guts considering the fact that he was whipped.
Setsuna heard the man laughed and smiled to himself. Then he sighed.
The following conversation was not going to be pretty.
"Sumeragi? I need to tell you something."
The woman looked at him then nodded as they walked towards their room.
"So what is it?"
"Remember what you said about Exia being our trump card?"
The brunette lady nodded. Of course, the Exia was plain but when in the hands of Setsuna it was majorly strong.
"What if I told you that I still wanted to fight."
She laughed. Of course he wanted to fight. He was bred to fight and win. "Listen, Setsuna. I'd let you fight, but we've got no resources to spend on new mobile suits not to mention the fact that it would take at the very least a year to complete a GN drive."
"Yes dear but why would anyone need a GN drive to create a suit?"
Now Sumeragi was puzzled. "Of course you'd need to have a GN drive... Unless your thinking of using one of the armies engines?"
Setsuna nodded as he sat on the sole chair. Sumeragi sat on his lap.
"Yeah. If I do go, will you stop me?"
Sumeragi laughed silently. "Even if I did stop you, you'd find another way anyways." She shook her head. "So this mobile suit. Show me."
Setsuna smirked this time.
"How'd you know?" He asked as he gave her the data-pad. "It's a mobile armor by the way."
"I see." She scrolled down just as Ian did. "Well it's not bad. If I'm right then I guess that this was mean to be an aerial support type mobile armor as well as a front-line defense for the Ptolemy?"
"Mhmm." He snuggled into her. "I'm sorry honey, but I just really want to fight and watching the others make me feel very cooped up."
"Very well then. I give you the consent." She looked at him with a bit of lust. "Now then, shall we?"
"We shall indeed." She giggled.
It went better than he expected.
"It looks like we're the top new story in every single country. Our mysterious group declares to the entire world that we plan to eliminate war." Lockon laughed. "Of course, most of them don't believe we can actually believe we can pull this off."
Feldt giggled knowingly. She knew they could pull this off.
The sound of GN engines whirring in the background offset the sound of exhaust landing nor the dainty footsteps approaching.
"Then we'll just have to make them to believe."
The two meisters stiffened before flinging out their pistols and pointing at the voice.
"After all, Celestial Beings' ideals can only be demonstrated through actions."
Both the meisters lowered their pistols.
"Hi Wang Liu Mei." The pink haired female brightened.
Lockon smirked at her before putting his weapons back. "You sure got here quick."
Wang Liu Mei smiled brightly. "Gundam meisters, time for your second mission."
"It will commence at thirty-three hundred. Your targets will be both the HRL and the rebellion in Sri Lanka. Location, Ceylon."
The two meisters nodded before moving towards their cargo bays.
"I forgot to mention that all four of you will be going with the debut of the prototype mobile armor code-named Chimera. It will be supporting you as best as it can due to it being its first flight." Both meisters stiffened again.
As if four weren't enough, there was going to be a prototype support armor?
Wang Liu Mei ordered Hong Long back before smirking at the backs of the meisters. "I'm already very sure that you know who will be piloting the armor. Setsuna F Seiei. How odd."
They waited for the sibling duo to be out of ear distance before smirking at the other.
"Well, looks like Setsuna's going to show off his impressive piloting skills a little earlier than he expected."
Feldt stretched her arms upwards. "Nope. I'm guessing he didn't want to miss the action but at the same time didn't want to show his hand so he probably compromised. His piloting skills are great in a mobile suit but not as good in the mobile armors." Feldt bit her lower lip as she thought. "I'd say he's just lower than Allelujah by a bit."
Lockon shrugged. "Allelujah is our best flight ops pilot. Setsuna in second place makes him nearly as good."
Feldt nodded. "I guess."
They both stared at the night sky. The stars twinkled bright green as the colors of the GN Drive interfered with the skies.
"It sure is wonderful out here tonight."
"It sure is."
"Second mission will commence in thirty-three hundred. I repeat, the mission will commence in thirty-three hundred."
"We're testing two units in combat? I really hate that." Allelujah spoke almost lazily. His helmet slung over his back. He clung to the handle as they moved on zero gravity.
"We need to know everything about the gundams to prepare us for future battles."
A glint of seriousness shone in Tieria's eyes.
Allelujah huffed. "I know but-"
"I'm sorry for pushing you all so hard."
Allelujah looked towards the approaching lady. Setsuna was already decked in his pilot suit, his cooler-looking helmet outfitted at the back of his head. "Miss Sumeragi."
Tieria stared on impassively, wondering why Setsuna was in a pilot suit. "It isn't a problem. We knew what we're getting ourselves into."
Sumeragi smiled. "You seem tough."
The duo reached Setsuna just as he put on his helmet.
"I never wished to be weak."
Tieria calmly strode by the blue-suited meister as he entered the lift. Setsuna unnerved him for some reason.
Allelujah looked at the blue clad man next to him and nodded. "And that's our cue."
Setsuna nodded back before lifting himself up.
"Setsuna?"
He stopped before looking back at Sumeragi.
"Don't die."
Setsuna looked at her before giving her a salute and nod before going up.
She looked at his retreating back. She huffed and sighed. "They're so young. Well mostly."
Sumeragi quickly went towards the bridge.
Christina sat behind her control panel, watching as the Virtue and Kyrios rocketed towards Earth. An alert reached her ears before looking widely at her screen.
"Miss Sumeragi? I'm getting a ping in loading bay 4? It seems as if Setsuna is requesting clearance to launch as well."
Miss Sumeragi felt like slapping herself silly. How could she forget?
"Clearance affirmed. Prepare the linear catapult to launch the Chimera."
The light-brown haired female nodded before setting up the catapult.
"Chimera is in launching bay."
Setsuna's voice interrupted her. "Type in code F2578 and set it to remember code."
"R-Roger." Quickly typing it down, a schematic showed up as soon as it entered the data-base.
"Equipping blade font to Chimera, equipment lock proceeding."
"Blade Chimera locked. Ready for launch."
"Hai. Setting Blade Chimera to five hundred. Transferring launch controls to Setsuna."
Setsuna sat in the narrow seat of the Chimera. "Setsuna F Seiei, Blade Chimera prototype. Blasting off."
A long and wide ship left the launching bay. The cockpit was located at the front with a machine gun just underneath. Rocket pods were just under the triangular wings with short blades attached next to the exhaust. The blades were connected to a small square pack which was locked right on top of the engine.
Twirling in space, it rocketed off in an attempt to catch up with the mobile suits.
Quickly catching up with the two meisters, Setsuna wondered if his current machine would be able to keep up.
He could feel the two meisters balk at his machine. One in disbelief and the other in awe. He guessed that Tieria wondered if he really was taking that machine into battle and the belief that even if he did, it would probably do more harm than good. And as for Allelujah, he was pretty sure that the super-soldier could recognize this.
After all, the design of the machine was a fictional fantasy for flyers.
The X-mens black-bird was a legend amongst aircraft and while it was fictional, it was trademarked and known by comic-lovers and flyers alike. The machine he was using was just a smaller and under-powered version though he hoped that the speed would do the legendary plane justice.
"Are you seriously going to fight in a battle with an inferior machine such as that?"
He expected that. Tieria was proud of the gundams and watching something that could be inferior fly into battle alongside them could be an insult.
"Would you rather reveal an asset then?" There was his rebuttal.
There was silence over their channel.
"I see. Do not drag us behind or I will leave you in the dust."
Setsuna stared on impassively at the purple haired innovade. "Acknowledged."
Tuning off the the meister, he calibrated some last minute adjustments.
Quickly putting on her helmet, Feldt locked her helmet in place as she ran across the loading bay towards the cockpit of her suit. On the other side, Lockon could be seen doing the same.
This was happening all the while Haro continued to shout "On schedule! On Schedule!"
Locking themselves into gear, the two meisters prepared for take off. Clipping the belt behind her back, Feldt wondered what Setsuna's mobile armor would look like. But then again it was in its development so she probably shouldn't expect too much.
Her screen brightened before a red ray ran over her eyes. The system recognized her before the gears moved and synchronized.
"Disengaging GN system repose. Private priority pass to Feldt Grace."
The whirring of the machines increased.
Lockon clipped his belt before clicking Orange Haro into its place. For the umpteenth time during his tenure as a meister, he wondered if the Haro had a gender. And if it did, was it based on the color?
He smiled as he continued the train of thought.
"Heh, all set? Let's go partner."
The two meisters waited before they heard a click.
Sunlight started to filter in as their hatch to the loading bay opened up.
Feldt turned her attention away from the sun as the could say the shadows of two people standing.
I see. They stayed.
The sibling duo watched on impassively as the impressively white bay opened up to reveal two suits.
When the two suits were standing upright, the system disengaged the locks.
"Astrea, Dynames, ready for deployment. Ready for deployment."
Feldt smiled at the orange ball mechanical creature.
The engines of both suits fired up almost immediately, lighting up their suits. The visible parts that glowed green showed how much energy was travelling across the suits mechanism.
Feldt wasted no time as she walked towards the edge of the island. Lockon quickly grabbed his large sniper rifle before clipping it on his right shoulder and wondered whether he should bring his shield cores.
He probably shouldn't. He would be revealing too much of his suits capabilities.
"Commencing GN Particle dispersal. Commencing GN Particle dispersal."
Clutching the controls tightly, Feldt focused on the mission. "Feldt Grace, Astrea. Heading out."
Lockon smirked. "Lockon Stratos, Dynames. Targeted and Firing."
Wang Liu Mei watched as the two gundams lifted off and became small specks in the blue sky.
"Are they-?"
Wang Liu Mei smirked as she watched them soar. "Yes. Those are the machines that will demonstrate the ideals of Celestial Being."
Fledt calmly checked the system to make sure nothing was out of place. On the inside, she felt nervous. This was only her second mission. Again her mind wandered. She wondered if Setsuna felt like this during his first few missions. He certainly didn't act like it.
She'd ask him later, they had a mission to finish.
"Maximum GN particle emission. Deploying condenser machines."
The GN cannons on the shoulder of Virtue moved up to show condensers as did the armored legs. GN particle emission increased as it descended to Earth. Behind the Virtue, the Kyrios also became shrouded in GN particles. Neither noticed the slowing if the Chimera nor the folding of it's wings as it shifted into a missile.
"I've done this so many times in simulations but-"
"We're at the descent point." Allelujah looked up.
"Commencing atmospheric entry."
Clicking a few buttons, he prepared to go into atmospheric entry before noticing the silence of their blue clad comrade.
Turning his head, his jaw slowly dropped as he watched the former plane catch up to him. The plane was now missile shaped with the mini-gun tucked in and the wings folded inside. The rocket pods could still be seen as is the blade font.
He could see Setsuna in the cockpit salute before laying back. He also noticed that the mobile armor gaining speed with the tip flaring up with flames.
He laughed at the challenge.
"Both Tieria and Setsuna are dare-devils, that's for sure."
Clutching the throttle, he pulled it and he could feel himself move faster.
All three machines ignored the HRL tower.
Reaching the desired height, Tieria quickly punched a button. "Virtue switching from maximum GN Particle immersion to normal levels."
From the corner of his eye, he saw a speeding blur pass by.
Baffled by the machine, Tieria wondered if the machine was really viable on missions.
Sighing, Allelujah looked towards the blur in front of them.
"Good job Kyrios." He looked out of the monitor. "It's alright. I know. Now the mission really begins."
A large splash appears before a smaller one appears as Setsuna takes off once more.
"Oi, Feldt, they're here."
"I see them."
"Check out Setsuna's machine. Looks wicked."
Feldt couldn't help but agree.
Her monitor beeped as a message was sent.
As she scrolled the short message, she felt her lips curve up in a grin.
Setsuna was simply amazing. If he wasn't taken, she would've been all over him in an instant.
"Hey Lockon, there's something Setsuna and I will want to show you later. Just keep an eye out on my Astrea later." She couldn't stop the grin that was forming on her face. "It will be so cool."
Lockon looked at Feldt's mobile suit with a smile.
"Alright, after assembling at the rendezvous point, we'll proceed to begin mission phase one."
There was a beep on every suits monitor.
Setsuna's face appeared on the screen.
"Feldt Grace, did you receive the code?"
Nodding in confirmation, Setsuna continued.
"I will be providing support for both the Astrea and Kyrios as cover and bait. However, my armor has a limited energy source which means I will not stay in the whole duration of the mission. I will assist as best as I can." He pressed a few buttons before continuing. "I will go ahead and gather extra intel while you will proceed on with the mission. Thankfully, my armor's battery is rechargeable and will need little maintenance. My armor will be prepped and ready as soon as you reach the rendezvous point."
Lockon nodded though he wasn't sure if he had any kind of jurisdiction on the man. He was probably showing him respect as a guest aboard the crew. It was something he could appreciate seeing as he is the de-facto leader of the small band.
"Roger. Now go on, scat." Lockon chuckled.
Setsuna smirked before speeding towards the Indian island.
It took a while for the four meisters to reach the bay of the island. Upon reaching the shore, they instantly received an encrypted message. While most of it was already known, they wondered how he got the extra info.
"There are kids in that area," Feldt said. It was near Allelujah's target.
Said man grunted in annoyance. "I don't think I won't be able avoid those areas. It is in my mission plan after all."
Setsuna's face appeared in their screens again. "Don't worry. I've already round up the women and the kids."
His face appeared troubled.
Feldt noticed. "Setsuna? What's wrong?"
"It's... They have child soldiers. Volunteers." He spat the last word out. "Some were adamant in staying before they started shooting at me. I already took the other kids away. The ones who did not want to take part or were forced."
The meisters felt their eyes hardened sans the Innovade. The Innovade felt nothing wrong with the fact that the Tamils were using child soldiers. After all, doing anything to win was ingrained into a battle-type Innovade such as him.
"Thanks Setsuna. Makes me feel trigger happy at the moment." Setsuna nodded at the orange-clad man.
"I'll be waiting."
Setsuna closed the connection before igniting the engine.
Feldt stared on impassively before her map displayed a speeding friendly flying towards her. Her screen flashed white before turning green as she pressed affirmative.
The three other meisters watched as Setsuna came flying out of the clearing to the west.
Setsuna locked onto the Astrea and strafed above her as they began the loading sequence. The blade font of the Chimera hissed as the locking mechanism undid itself. The font then flipped over before flying itself towards the Astrea at matching speed. Locking at the back, the blades shifted in color before becoming white.
All the while the three other meisters watched in impressive silence.
"That was interesting to say the least." Tieria spoke up.
The other two could only hum in agreement.
"Approaching rendezvous point."
Hearing gunfire, Setsuna locked onto the battlefield.
He could see mobile suits, both Government and Tamils' forces battling across the field. The Anfs' were heavily out-numbered with Tierens' and Cannon Tierens'. Cannon shots could be heard, exploding upon contact, bringing up debris, earth and dirt everywhere.
One of the Anf shot at the Tieren only for it to bounce back. Moving forward in an attempt to lay more more fire, it was blasted back as the Cannon Tieren shot at the machine, knocking it down. Easy pick for the ground types.
It exploded in blossoms of ash and fire.
Another Anf moved forward together with another walking behind it, mindful of the cannon's long range.
Shots were heard as another cannon barrage fired.
The lead Anf was immediately shot in the main camera, leaving nothing but the lower torso intact.
The last Anf cleared out the smoke before shooting down one of the approaching Tieren. Outnumbered, the Anf fell under machine-gun fire but not before taking out another Tieren.
Seeing as there were no other Anfs' in the sector, the Tierens began to move onto the next battlefield.
An Anf appeared on the horizon, firing wildly at the small Tieren squad, but it was quickly dispatched as the Cannon Tieren shot the torso, leaving nothing but a smoking crater.
High above, Lockon was preparing the team. He knew Setsuna didn't really need a leader since he was just an extra but he was grateful that he didn't mind the pseudo-leadership.
"Alright everyone, let's follow the combat forecast that Miss Sumeragi left for us." Lockon said. "I'm expecting a decent performance from you guys."
Allelujah smirked. "Decent's okay."
Tieria stared on impassively. "I think I'd prefer to be thorough."
Lockon chuckled. "Suit yourself then."
Feldt giggled. "Have I ever been known to be less than?"
Lockon laughed outright. That's his sister. "Nope."
"I have never gotten the mission plan so I will assume support role based on what I feel will deem a threat. Kyrios and Astrea is my priority but I'll try my best to come running when you call." Setsuna smirked. "That is if you need it? I believe you all are more than capable."
Setsuna heard a mixture of huffs, laughter, giggles and chuckles. It felt good to see these people alive and kicking.
"Roger that. You'll be staying close to Feldt or Allelujah then?"
Setsuna shook his head. "At this moment, Astrea will be in a danger zone with only you as backup. While I do not doubt your capabilities, I have a feeling something is bound to go wrong."
Lockon felt his eyes tighten. "I see."
"The Kyrios has more than enough fire-power to lay waste and has the speed that's the fastest at the moment. He'll be okay." Setsuna looked at his timer. "Shall we start with phase one?"
Lockon nodded. "Phase one starting now."
Feldt and Setsuna raced ahead of the others, fully intent on the destruction of those machines.
Kyrios peeled off, moving towards his intended targets.
Virtue moved to his left, also heading towards his own targets.
"Alrighty Haro, I leave evasive maneuvers to you."
Lockon grinned and clutched his throttle forward, picking up speed.
Setsuna's eyes filled with memories of his past as he saw an Anf peppered with gunfire, bullets pinging off the armor with some penetrating and instantly killing the pilot. He was saddened.
Clicking the safety off, he began to climb higher before dive bombing the Anfs. He would let Feldt have the fun for now. He wasn't really feeling particularly trigger happy today.
Shooting at an armless Anf, he took care in not aiming for the cockpit. The Anf exploded taking one of it's comrades accidently.
On the other side, Feldt was having fun with her new armaments. Having seen the beautiful blade-work of the Exia and Setsuna, she was inspired to actually pick up the skill. And she enjoyed learning the skill along the way. And with the new weapons provided, she learnt by trying to recall the way the Exia moved during their spar.
Dashing towards the Tieren, she deftly ducked under a gun before grabbing the blades at the back and arcing upward. Jinxing to the right, she dodged a cannon shot just as she grabbed her other blade and rammed it into the camera.
She kicked the Tieren before jumping upwards, narrowly missing another cannon barrage.
She landed right on top of a Tieren, crushing the main camera before throwing her blade at another Tieren, which was slowly turning towards her.
Calmly dashing across the battlefield, she surveyed the area. She noted that in the area, only thirty percent of the Tierens were destroyed while at least half of the Anfs' were fireworks.
She ignored the danger klaxon as she calmly waded towards another group of Tierens. Missing one, she sliced through two of the Tierens before a shot rang out, hitting the Tieren in the gun before two more gunshots peppered through the armor, destroying the camera and the cockpit.
"Setsuna, finished with the Anfs?"
The Krugis boy nodded. "They were outnumbered five to one anyways."
Feldt nodded. It was a wonder the government lasted that long with mobile suits like that.
"Let's go. Lockon might need help."
"Roger."
Blasting at the Tierens, Lockon idly noted that the Tierens actually cleaned up the Anfs well.
I guess they're only here for me.
He grinned. Just more targets to shoot at.
Not minding the cannon barrage, he continued on shooting calmly. His klaxon blared from his right but he ignored it.
Just as the Tieren had a clear shot, it was sliced into three pieces and was finished off with a shot to the main camera.
Right on time.
"What took you?" He asked.
He heard Feldt giggle. "Nothing. What? Couldn't handle them without me?"
He smirked. "On the contrary, you were missing out on the fun."
Setsuna chuckled before speeding towards the Cannons on the far side. He missed the banters. "I shall be eliminating the annoyances. I just need a clear path. My energy is nearly depletion."
Lockon nodded before focusing on shooting down a trail. "Take the eastern trail. Less forces focused on that side."
"Roger."
Feldt dashed towards the enemies, twirling as she dodged machine-gun fire, she sliced through the small squad. Lockon stared down the farthest Tieren before pressing the trigger. As soon as he pulled the shot, the Tieren exploded into ash and smoke.
"Setsuna, go!"
"Going." Setsuna, jiggled to the right before pushing his throttle forward. Bullets chased him, with some inching close to the cockpit.
As soon as he was in range, he unleashed a missile barrage with a short burst of machine-gun fire.
The Cannon Tierens could do nothing but watch as their death approached.
The cliff that were being occupied by the Tierens were reduced to smoking craters and mobile suit debris.
As Lockon and Feldt were finishing off the rest of the enemies, Setsuna spots a glint of silver. His heart hammering, he dashes towards Lockon just as the silver fires.
Dynames, too late to run, attempted to move but was not quick enough. Dynames' right torso would've been in flames if it weren't for the wing of the Chimera catching it instead.
"Setsuna!"
Setsuna grunted as his wing caught fire. Pulling the eject, he pressed the self destruct before setting it on course for the assailant.
Burn in hell.
He flipped his jet pack in short burst before reaching the ground. As he reached the ground, he rolled in front of the Dynames.
He rolled his shoulder before giving a thumbs up at Lockon.
"He's alright. He's alright Feldt."
Alarms blared in an HRL-supplied Tamil base. Men moved around, gathering essentials as the ran towards the base. Tierens walked out of the hangers in droves, squads quickly forming defensive formation as they waited for their opposition.
Most of the soldiers thought that it was overkill with this many mobile suits out there.
How wrong they were.
Kyrios edged into their field of vision, a sort of package stuck at the top of the engine.
A feeling of imminent dread crept across their spines.
Allelujah deftly rushed Kyrios forward, intent on destroying his targets. His mind burned with rage as he saw kids even under fifteen rushing towards mobile suits. For a second, he wondered how they managed to pilot a suit before his question was answered when a thirteen year old boy clumsily stood up and attempted to aim its barrel at him.
Sighing at the mere thought of successful brainwashing, he clicked the safety off. He sighed again, feeling regret and guilt for condemning the children- no, men in children's bodies to this end.
"Kyrios, prepped and ready to destroy targets."
The Tierens shot at him, peppering the air with sounds of guns firing and bullets permeated the air.
Deftly dodging the shots, he pulled the trigger and watched grimly as the rockets shot out from its container. The missiles surged forwards en masse and there was nothing the Tierens could do to stop the barrage.
Transforming into his mobile suit, he shot down the other Tierens that were standing, albeit deformed.
Men took cover behind vehicles and shot at him with their rifles.
It wouldn't be enough to stop him.
Smoke flowed upwards as the sound of fire cackled.
Allelujah surveyed the damage done before slowly turning around. He could see a few survivors moving but he knew that with the wounds they suffered, they'd probably be dead soon. And those unfortunate enough to still live would never be able to move properly.
Survivors guilt was something that was hard to cure. Much less to prevent it would be another matter entirely.
"Kyrios, ninety-eight percent of targets destroyed."
He looked back. "I've become a mass-murderer. But so be it. After all, this is what we do, this is what Celestial Being does."
As he moved towards the Astrea and Dynames, his helmet crackled to life before hearing an explosion and a shrill cry.
He worriedly urged his suit to move faster.
What's going on over there?
Cannon-fire filled the air as Cannon Tierens stood on the deck of the transport ship.
Dirt and debris jumped as shots hit the shore, narrowly missing the behemoth of a gundam that stood just on the port-side of the ship.
The Tierens were hurriedly shooting, causing most of their shots to miss with a small percentage hitting the behemoth indirectly.
Placing the GN bazooka in front of its chest, Virtue calmly took aim before a purple glow filled the barrel of the large weapon.
"Target has been located. Virtue now proceeding to eliminate targets."
Tieria was calm, cool and collected, fearing nothing but the idea of failure. The idea of failure was a ludicrous concept and so failure was not an option.
He was also confident in the abilities of his gundam. There was a reason it was built and it was to he that it was entrusted. This machine was his and his to pilot only.
Ignoring the gunfire that was inaccurate to begin with, he shifted more to the right.
Large bullets suddenly impacted his shoulders.
He gritted his teeth in annoyance.
GN particles filled the center of his chest.
Another barrage hit him.
The purple glow intensified.
He narrowed his eyes before pulling the trigger.
As soon as he fired, a large purple lance of GN energy erupted.
It surged forward, water whipping away. After-images of the ball could be seen.
It impacted the ship, punching through the reinforced armor and melting through the mobile suits. The ship soon followed, erupting into large flames and sunk into the depths.
Lockon huffed as he shot at the last Tieren.
Locking onto the figure of the Astrea, he watched as the Tierens nearby moved backward before issuing a full retreat.
Feldt stared on impassively as they left.
"Alright, that's the last of them. Hey, Setsuna. What's up with your machine?"
Setsuna salvaged what he could of the ship. The self-destruct did its job well. There was nothing salvageable left. Not even the systems were spared in the wipe.
"No. There's nothing left here."
The Krudgis boy sighed. Hell, it was a fine piece. Needed a few more patch-ups and maybe a bit stronger armor. And finally blue. That's what he felt was missing. The color blue.
Snatching a glint that caught his eye, he quickly climbed atop the Astrea's outstretched hand.
As soon as Feldt was sure that Setsuna was secure on her palm, she opened the cockpit before Setsuna climbed inside.
The two mobile suits lifted up before the other two gundams arrived.
"Mission accomplished."
A staggering 5.5k words. Whopee.
Hmmph, it kinda hurts that no one bothered to review. So onto my fourth chapter, how'd I do?
I really, really liked this chapter though I feel something is lack. Oh well, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
Lastly, since no one bothered to answer, I'll just continue without the Answer. MUHAHAHAHHA! I'm eviiil!
Please, I'm serious, if there was anything wrong or that you that was bad, please review. Help me out here people, I'm trying to improve for both you and me.
So please kindly leave a review. Thank you.
