Author's Note: This is not an actual chapter for my (abandoned) story. Just a remake of it or rather, a new one after you've done reading everything. I've written it out of a request from Italian Mutt who reminded me of the existence of this story back to me and for that, I would like to deeply express my deepest gratitude to her.
As for my past readers (lambda123 and RagnaRulZ), I apologize for my disappearance. After re-reading this story, I felt like it was being made from a three year old kid and decided to abandon it and ultimately, forgetting it ever existed. During the time gap, I've been writing another new story although it isn't exactly Gundam-related.
Anyway, I present to you. A remake of this story. Oh and one last thing, when you read this, you may begin to realize a cross-reference between this story and the current-kick-ass Gundam anime, Mobile Suit Gundam 00. But just to let you know, this storyline had already been floating in my mind far longer than anyone can imagine, I just lack the skills (and motivation) to just write it out.
Enjoy,
The sound of heaving breathings and running filled the wide empty metallic room as a young boy ran abruptly across the wide field
The sound of heaving breathings and running filled the wide empty metallic room as a young boy ran abruptly across the wide field. He was a boy about an age of 7, with short spiky black hair and a pair of red eyes. An endless fear was visible from his eyes; his face was covered with sweats and blood. He wore what was once a white patient robe, now a tattered blood-covered piece of cloth.
The boy continued running madly towards a large metallic slide door and was just a few meter before reaching his destination until a gun shot rang from the other side of the room and the bullet tore into the flesh of his right leg, making him incapable of running. The boy fell and dragged onto the metallic pavement below him, yelling in pain, but that didn't stop him from his objective though as he dragged his body towards the door, leaving a trail of blood behind him.
"Let me out!" The boy shouted desperately while banging on the door. "Please, let me out!" He continued banging this time with both of his hands.
The sound of a footstep approaching behind him snapped the boy out of his desperation as he turned around and leaned his back against the door in fear. "No… Please don't do it, don't kill me!" He begged, tears rolling down his red eyes.
Another similar boy stood opposite him, holding a smoking handgun in his hand with an emotionless expression implanted onto his youthful feature. If his body wasn't covered with blood, one could tell that he had a long curly black hair with brown highlights and a pair of black eyes. He too wore a similar white patient robe with crimson fluid covering most of it.
He raised his handgun and aimed it at the other boy's head.
"What are you waiting for? Do it!" The voice of an adult boomed through the speakers located in each top corners of the room. "Subject No#047 has showed his weaknesses out of him and has failed to proved himself to be of any values. Finish him," The voice threatened and pounded more fear into the boy who was referred as subject No#47.
The boy with the handgun didn't even flinch at all as he stared blankly into the boy's teary red eyes with his black ones.
"No, please don't. I don't want to die. Please don't kill me!" No#47 shot his right hand out, waving it around as if he was trying to wave the boy off. "Please save me, God,"
"God…?" The boy trailed slowly. "There is no God in this world," Without any remorse, the boy pulled the trigger and another boom echoed through the empty room followed by the sound of blood and brain matter splattering onto the slide door and ended by the sound of an empty shell falling onto the ground.
The boy lowered his handgun and stared at subject No#47's lifeless body; his mouth still opened a wide, his eyes still opened widely in fear. The boy then turned around and took a look at the room. Bodies of children of similar ages with the same white robe lie lifeless onto the cold metallic pavement; the room was decorated with blood and brain matters and is drenched with the aroma of death and gun powders in the air, signifying a battle had just taken place. All the lives of the boys and girls in the room were ended by the same person.
Just like subject No#47, they all plead for their lives with the same fearful expression just before having a bullet up their heads. The boy killed them with no signs of either fear or remorse in him. To him, it was either kill or be killed.
"Congratulations subject No#17, you have proved yourself to be the strongest of all soldiers and will be recommended for outfield operations. Your victory has brought us one step closer at the annihilations of coordinators in this world," The man said proudly and sounds of hand claps were heard through the speakers.
The boy, known as subject No#17 by the man, looked to the opposite top of the room where a mirror connected to what seemed to be an observatory room behind it, was seen. A group of scientists were in the room, chatting among themselves. One of the men must've turned off the speakers as No#17 couldn't hear what they were saying at all.
His cold emotionless expression caught the attention of a man standing behind the group of scientist. The man is in his late thirties and has a long messy dark green hair. He smiled sadistically while crossing his arms and looked into No#17's eyes with his dark orange eyes.
Onogoro Island, Orb's military base, 12.34 p.m.
A male figure jolted up from the passenger seat of a jeep and if it wasn't for the seat belt, he would've been blown off from the moving vehicle. The wind gently blew his long black curly hair to the side, further exposing him into the sunlight. Blinding him temporarily, he raised his hand to cover the light from further blinding him until his black-eyes could adjust to the surrounding.
"Morning sleeping beauty," The driver greeted jokingly. The driver is a male of age 29. He has brown spiky hair and a pair of brown eyes. He wore a light green T-shirt under a light brown vest and a pair of cargo pants.
"David James Walker," The boy addressed to the driver who he referred as David James Walker. He then wiped off the sweats that formed on his forehead and looked outside the jeep.
"What? You had that dream again?" David asked. The boy didn't give any response and David immediately knew that it was a 'yes'. The older man let out a sigh. "Come on Kyle, it has already been 10 years. You are not subject No#17 anymore, you are Kyle Sui. That accursed place has already been completely wiped off from the earth,"
Kyle ignored David and continued looking at the environment around. True, 10 years had already passed ever since he had stopped using the name subject No#17 and was given a new one, Kyle Sui. Kyle snapped out of his train of thought when David stopped the jeep.
Kyle then immediately tried to take into the new surroundings. By just a look, he could tell that he and David is at an opposite road from the entrance of the Orb military base where a group of students at his age were seen gathered around.
"Here," David said while handing out what seemed to be a fake student ID-pass. "The captain said that there will be an attack here today at approximately 1400 hour," Kyle reached out and took the pass.
"Your job is to get in and try to detain one of the terrorist back to base for interrogations. Fortunately but also unfortunately, there's a school field-trip being conducted today, so sneaking in should be no problem, for you of course since you're still 16 BUT that means you'll also have to take their safety and your cover into account. Make sure there are no casualties and try to minimize the damage," David explained as Kyle opened the door of the jeep and placed his left leg onto the pavement.
"The terrorist are believed to have mobile suits in their possessions, I'll remain standby in Asura," David continued on. (NOTE: 'Asura' is the name of a Hindu demon god that possesses six arms.)
Then Kyle stood out of the jeep, revealing his attire that he wore; a black T-shirt under a white jacket that managed to hide a handgun that he hid at his back and a pair of brown cargo pants. Kyle slid the pass around his neck and walked towards the group of students gathering.
"Hey Kyle," David called out. "Cheer up a little, that moody stern face of yours is going to blow your cover before you even know it. Good luck anyway," He smiled and drove off after waving good luck.
Kyle turned around and continued walking after seeing David's jeep disappear in a corner.
"Good afternoon everybody, my name is Katsu Shigeru but you can call me Katsu," The Orb military tour guide said. He is a man in his late thirties with a pair of green eyes and brown short hair that he covered with an orange Orb military cap. He is wearing the standard Orb uniform which consists of an orange T-shirt and a pair of orange pants.
"Before we begin any further, please pass your student ID-pass to your teacher so that we can take your attendance and will be able to take responsibility on you if anything were to happen to anyone of you," Katsu said while pointing to the teacher standing beside him. Standing beside Katsu was a lady probably in her late forties; she has a long black hair tied into a bun with a pair of blue eyes behind a pair of glasses. She wore a simple white T-shirt along with a pair of pants.
The students passed their passes to the teacher one by one and when Kyle was the last, the teacher observed him closely while constantly switching her sights to Kyle's pass and back at him.
"Mister…" The teacher trailed while reading the name written on the ID. "…Thong. Jimmy Thong. Did I pronounce your name correctly?" The teacher asked in a suspicious tone.
"Yes," Kyle lied; Jimmy Thong was just an alias he used to prevent his true identity from being exposed. The name Jimmy Thong suits perfectly for Kyle's looks who resembles a Chinese boy. "Are there any problems?" Kyle asked.
"Are you from our school? I've never seen you in school before," The teacher asked while crossing her arms, she was beginning to get suspicious of Kyle.
"I am the new transfer student. I am from Macau of Hong Kong," The teacher then looked at Kyle doubly as he walked pass her. He didn't blame her for being suspicious, even Kyle himself would suspect something if somebody just came out of nowhere and claims himself as a transfer student from Hong Kong but he had to lie on.
I guess I'll have to ask the principal about this personally. The teacher thought to herself and snapped when she realized that the students had already followed the tour guide. Just when she was about to catch up with the students, two voices called out to her.
"Wait up!" The teacher turned around and saw two girls approaching her. What amazes the teacher wasn't the fact that she has never seen those two girls before in her school or what they wanted by calling out to her but the fact that they both looked identically alike.
The two girls bent down to catch their breaths. Looking closely, the teacher was able to make clearly of their appearances. Both the girls had short blonde hair with a pair of emerald-green eyes. What differentiated the both of them was the dress they were wearing, a Lolita-themed dress with one of them wearing a white one while the other a black one.
The blonde with the black Lolita dress lifted herself after catching her breath and handed her ID pass that she took out. "I'm sorry for being late, teacher," She said while looking over to the other girl in a white Lolita dress who is searching for her ID-pass.
"It's alright. But do you mind answering one question?" The teacher asked while examining the ID-passes after receiving the white Lolita dress girl's pass. There was no mistake; the two of them are twins.
"No problem," The girl in the black Lolita dress replied while placing both her hands at her back.
"Are you two new in our school?" She asked, somehow having a strange feeling of déjà-vu.
"Oh why yes, me and my sister here are transfer students from Japan. We've just transferred here recently," The girl in the white Lolita dress answered, the two girls then hold each other's arm. "Allow us to introduce ourselves,"
"My name is Kaoru Sakurano…" the girl in the black Lolita dress who introduced herself as Kaoru said. "…And I'm Kasumi Sakurano," The other girl who is known as Kasumi continued.
"Pleased to meet you, teacher!" The two girls said in unison while putting on a cheerful smile on their smooth feature.
"Likewise, Kaoru and Kasumi, now let's move on with the trip, don't want to waste anymore time," The teacher said and a look of doubts formed on her face when she turned around. Since when are there so many transfer students out of a sudden? She asked herself inwardly again while walking towards a transport vehicle used especially for tours.
Kaoru had difficulties finding for a seat when she got up to the vehicle, Kasumi had already found herself a seat as she was the first one who got up to the vehicle before Kaoru did. Kaoru scanned around the vehicle and found an empty seat beside a boy who is looking at outside the vehicle. The boy somehow resembles a Chinese boy. Immediately, she sat down beside him without asking him whether he minded or not and when he turned around and looked at her, she just giggled and did a 'V' sign with her hand.
Kyle ignored her and looked away coldly, raising slight annoyance to Kaoru. "Meanie," She muttered and looked away.
"Alright students, let's begin our tour," The sound of the megaphone boomed as Katsu held it up high. The tour guide whispered something to the driver and after the driver nodded, the vehicle began to slowly accelerate off.
Space, 1.46 p.m.
"What's the current condition on the surface, Elaine Elsman?" A lady, sitting on what seemed to be a commanding officer's chair in a space-ship asked. Behind the bulky space suit, the lady can be seen as a beautiful young lady in an age of 29. She has a shoulder-length brown hair as well a pair of brown eyes that suited perfectly with her hair.
"There is currently no activity down on the surface, Captain Flaga," The girl who Captain Flaga referred as Elaine Elsman, replied while continued monitoring onto the screen. Elaine is a girl at the age of 21, she has a long blonde hair that she tied into two pony-tails, and she also has a pair of ocean blue eyes. Aside from that, her skin is also slightly tanned.
The captain looked at Elaine with a smile imprinted onto her face. "Please. Just call me captain or Mary at the very least. It feels weird being called by your last name," The captain or rather known as Mariah La Flaga to the crew of her space ship, said while chuckling softly.
"Yes captain," Elaine nodded. The sound of the monitoring beeping caught the entire crew in the bridge's attention as Elaine quickly scanned through the monitor while typing on the key board.
"What is it, Elaine?" Mary asked.
"Captain, two mobile suit space pods had been launched down the atmosphere…" Elaine trailed while her eyes were running through the monitor. "There are 4 mobile suits detected in each pod. I'm putting the image onto the screen,"
After pushing a few buttons, a screen where five orange dots was seen descending towards the atmosphere appeared in a giant screen in front of the bridge.
"That's too early! So it has begun…" Mary mumbled to herself. "Elaine, what is their path of descent?" She asked again.
"Just a moment, captain," Elaine then clicked some buttons and the computer automatically did its calculation. "The predicted area of their descent is… Orb's Onogoro Island, the area where David James Walker and Kyle Sui are in,"
"Notify them about the enemy's movement. Ask them to remain standby," Mary commanded. "And send a text message to David James Walker: The enemies are approaching earlier than the estimated time and are in large numbers. Cancel the previous plan and get ready to engage in combat,"
"Yes captain!" Elaine replied. Another beep sounded off again as the blonde looked at the monitor. "Captain, the radar is showing another reading. It's an enemy space-ship!"
The image of a giant black ship was shown in the screen.
"Captain, what should we do now?" A young male about the age of 23 asked. He has a short dark blue hair and a pair of black eyes. Gripping tightly at the steering wheels of the ship, he eagerly waited for his captain's command.
The captain then grins. "Relieve the outer Mirage Colloid particles. Get into combat mode and notify other crews in this ship," She barked. "After long years of waiting, the world will finally witness the shadows lurking behind them,"
Mary closed her eyes for a moment and shot up from her seat as soon as she opens her brown eyes that seemed to have switched to serious mode. "Archangel, launch!" She shouted.
Onogoro Island, Orb's military base, 1.53 p.m.
"Aw man!" A boy groaned as he stepped frustratingly out of what seemed to be a simulation machine.
Katsu chuckled humorously as he looked at the boy's retreating form while standing in the middle of a room that seemed to be the simulation room. The room was a round room with 5 simulation machines around it and a monitoring computer behind each simulator.
"Alright, who wants to have a try at the simulator?" The tour guide asked and looked around for any students who were interested. Katsu continued to scan around until his green eyes were locked onto Kyle. "What about you boy; would you like a try?" He asked while pointing towards Kyle.
Kyle stood still and looked around at the other students who looked back at him. Most of them had already gotten their turn in the simulation machine; he was the only one left who still hasn't got into the machine yet. Without saying anything, he walked towards the simulator and sat on the seat.
Just by first glance, Kyle could tell that it was a mobile suit simulation machine. It's used for practice for both soldiers and those who are still in training. Two speakers are built into the seat located beside the top of the seat. A three-way screen was placed in his front, left and right with sets of keyboards lay below the screens. The sides of the simulator had a handler on each side and several pedals were found on the ground. Behind the simulator were a set of wires connected to a monitoring computer where an officer were stationed there to observe the simulation.
Katsu then stood beside Kyle and bent down to his level. "Alright, let me explain the controls to you," He said and started to explain. Kyle did not listen to him; his attention was onto the two twin blonde girls who had already been in the simulator ever since he could remember.
Those two girls aren't any ordinary girls… He thought to himself while glaring at them. His glaring caught the attention of the blonde who earlier sat beside him and made a 'V' sign to him as she stared back at him. Smiling innocently, she winked and made another 'V' sign with her hand to Kyle.
Ignoring her once again, Kyle looked over to the other blonde girl who seemed to control the simulation well without breaking any sweats judging by her reflexes and responses. Must be a coordinator… Kyle remarked.
"So did you get the controls well now… umm…" Katsu asked suddenly, snapping Kyle out of his train of thoughts. "How may I address you…Mr. …?"
"Jimmy Thong," Kyle replied flatly, using the name Jimmy Thong as his alias once again.
"Alright Mr. Thong, I'll explain the score-system in this simulation while you play it," With that, Katsu pressed a red button that was found at the left side of the keyboard and the screen was activated, indicating that the red button was the activation button for the machine.
The activation screen didn't start up as Katsu had expected, instead the image of an elderly man appeared.
The man is about the age of 40 and above; he had a bald head and a pair of sharp yellow eyes.
Kyle looked around and saw that not only his simulator, but other simulators had ceased functioning and is showing the same image of the man. Is it happening already? He told himself and was about to got up from the simulator when one of the officers shot up from his seat.
"Katsu, take a look at this," One of the officer shouted from his seat and asked for the tour guide to come and Katsu went.
"What's this?" Katsu asked to himself, the monitors were also showing the same image. "Don't tell me…" He trailed and took out his PDA. Much to his shock, it was showing the same thing too. "What the hell is this?" He asked again, not getting an answer.
"Greetings, citizens of the earth," The man said in a low tone, catching everybody's attention. "I'm sorry for the disturbance caused but I have an announcement to make,"
The man cleared his throat before beginning. "Lately, the world has been very peaceful with everyone living together. And for that, I am very happy. However, as I stand here today, I am still very unsatisfied at the fact that coordinators are allowed to live in this world,"
"Coordinators are human beings being illegally having their genetics enhanced to further surpass of those normal humans. Because of this we, humans, are inferior to these 'space monsters' but we could still live in harmony with them. But is this really what you want; always being inferior to them, coordinators?" He raised his voice this time.
The speech of the man gave shock to everyone in the room as Kyle looked at all of their surprised faces. His eyes were then locked onto the two simulator machines that the twins were in moments ago, they were gone. He tried but unsuccessfully to find those two girls in the room.
"That is why, we, Blue Cosmos, will continue our goal to wipe out these 'space monsters' from our planet," The bald man in the video shouted. "…For the preservation of our Blue and Pure World!"
Right after the man said the line, the ground began to shake violently. "What is going on?" Some of the students shouted.
The sound of the computer beeping filled the room. "Katsu, An explosion has just been reported in hangar 4," One of the officers said.
Another beep sounded off as the ground resumed its shaking. "Hangar 7 had just been blown to bits," Another officer said.
"What, is this a terrorist attack?" Katsu asked the officers but did not get a reply. "Anyway, we have to evacuate the students first," He told the officers and the teacher who was still in there.
The teacher nodded and opened the emergency exit door that lead to a flight of stairs. "Students, please come this way," The students listened to their teacher's instruction and walked slowly towards the door.
"What is going on?" Katsu asked one of the passerbies that was using the emergency stairs.
"I don't know. Hangar 4 and 7 just exploded," The passerby told Katsu and continued descending the stairs.
"Must be a terrorist bombing," Katsu told the teacher and later turned over to the students. "Alright everyone, proceed down the stairs and follow what the higher-ups said," At that, the students begin to descend down the stairs right after another shaking, indicating another explosion.
Kyle had no choice; he had to follow them too. He had to ensure their safety, it was a mission given to him and failure is not an option. But if things were to turn ugly, he will have to take action as he gripped tightly at his handgun in his back.
Onogoro Island, Orb's military base, 2.01 p.m.
"Everyone, please calm down and proceed to the shelter, an Orb officer will escort you there. Repeat, everyone, please calm down and proceed to the shelter, an Orb officer will escort you there," The robotic sound of a woman sounded through the speakers throughout the base among the sounds of the alarms blaring, explosions and gun-fires.
The terrorist had already launched their attack right after the video was shown throughout the whole media just like what the info had told. One by one, the hangars were exploded into flames. A team of mobile suits were scrambled throughout the base to find out what happened.
Kyle walked among the crowds; he was having a hard time trying to find a way to separate with them without them noticing and proceeds with his mission.
"Everyone, please proceed to this way!" A military worker shouted while guiding the crowd towards the shelter. He tried to repeat the message again but was sent flying forward along with a few other workers who were also sent flying forward when one of the hangars behind them exploded.
"Shit…" He muttered while trying to stand up and resume his duty. He looked around and was relief that nobody was seriously hurt.
"…For the preservation of our Blue and Pure world!!" A group of what seemed to be mercenaries came out of nowhere and started to fire their sub-machine guns in their hands at the crowd. Some workers were shot on their legs and hands and some where shot directly into their heads, killing them instantly.
One of the mercenaries had the worker pinned down and was about to get his life ended before hearing a gunshot, he thought by now he would've been dead. Slowly opening his eyes, he saw the mercenary drop dead before him with a bullet on his head. The other mercenaries were caught off guard when several gunshots rang through the air again and tore into their skulls.
The worker, still in shock, turned his body over and saw a figure with a smoking handgun in his hand. It was a boy, a lot younger than him to be exact. A long black curly hair and a pair of black eyes was all he could see before the figure ran past him.
"David," Kyle called out from the ear-bud that he took out and placed at his left year.
"Yeah, it has started earlier than expected. Anyway, the captain just told us to cancel the plan and get ready to engage in combat. Hurry to your unit," The voice of David James Walker was heard on the ear-bud.
"Roger," Kyle replied flatly and continued running until he was forced to stop and lean against a wall when he was almost seen by another group of mercenaries.
He slowly peep his head out from his cover and counted a total of six mercenaries out there not including the dead bodies of the workers lying all over the floor. He then held up his handgun and slid out the magazine and counted an exact amount of six bullets left.
Sliding the magazine back into his handgun, Kyle dived out from his cover and professionally sent all six bullets into the skulls of the mercenaries, ending their lives instantly before they could even react upon Kyle's sudden appearance.
Kyle was about to run to where his unit was when a nearby explosion caught his attention. Behind the large pillar of smoke, he could barely make out two tall humanoid figure standing.
His questions were answered when two pairs of light flashed; a pair of yellow and another pair of green eyes flashed behind the smoke. It was a…
"Gundam…" Kyle mumbled.
Onogoro Island, Orb's military base, 2.10 p.m.
The smoke cleared off and standing on what was once a hangar, now a pile of boulders was two grey mobile suits. Both of the suits looked similar in terms of appearance.
"Wow, this is just like what the captain had told us, Kasumi," Kaoru said excitedly while looking around, admiring the technologies and computers in the suit's cockpit. "Hey Kasumi, did you hear me?" She asked frustratingly when her sister did not reply.
Kasumi was busy altering the Operating System in her suit as she run through the keyboards with amazing speed with her fingers. "Indeed it is," She replied coldly and looked at the monitor which reflected herself in her now bloodied white Lolita dress.
Moments ago, the two sisters sneaked away when the others' attentions were onto the video. The video was part of their plan to sneak into the hangar which contained the mobile suits that she and her sisters were to hijack unnoticed. Although the workers did put up some resistance, they were reduced to merely corpse mercilessly by the two.
Before Kaoru could give Kasumi a remark, their monitor beeped. "What?" She asked herself and looked at the monitor who showed three approaching mobile suits. The ground then shook a little as the three suits landed.
Kaoru looked at the monitor then at the display screen in front of her. Carefully, she observed the three mobile suits that just landed.
Standing in front of the other two suits was one of the Orb's mass-produced mobile suits that could morph into a fighter jet mobile armor, the MVF-M11C, Murasame. The Murasame's right hand held a beam rifle while its left hand held a shield which is also the unit's head when transformed into its mobile armor form. A beam saber was seen mounted onto both sides of the unit's hips.
Standing behind the Murasame was another two Orb's mass-produced suits, the MBF-M1, M1 Astray. Unlike the Murasames, the M1-Astrays was Orb's ever first mobile suit produced to be put into service during the first Bloody Valentine war. Although lacking the feature to transform into a mobile armor, just like its more advanced unit, the Murasame, the M1-Astray is also equipped with a beam rifle, a long shield that could cover the entire unit's body and two beam sabers mounted onto their backpack that functioned as a booster.
"Freeze, surrender and step out of the cockpit," The sound of a male came out from the Murasame as it trained its beam rifle onto them. The two M1-Astrays behind it did the same while covering half of their metallic bodies with their shields. "I repeat, surrender and step out of the cockpit or we will resort to force," The pilot in the Murasame shouted through the public announcement system installed in the unit.
"Hey Kasumi, you want to test out the suit's capabilities first behind handing it over to the captain?" Kaoru asked through video contact with Kasumi.
"Ah," Kasumi bluntly agreed and pressed a red button that was located at the left side of the display screen. Kaoru did the same and pushed the same button located at the same place.
A pair of yellow and green lights flashed before a wave of colors swept through the two grey suits. A wave of red and another darker red filled the dull colors of Kaoru's mobile suit, turning her grey suit into a crimson red mobile suit. The same thing happened with Kasumi's suit; a set of white, red, yellow and blue colored her once grey mobile suit.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" The pilot in the Murasame shouted angrily. "Surrender now an-," He tried to finish before his unit was suddenly sliced into half and exploded.
The two M1-Astrays stepped back as they watched in horror as their captain's unit had just exploded to bits. The smoke cleared off and they saw the cause of their captain's death; Kaoru had just took out her suit's weapon which is a dagger stored at both sides of suit's compartment on its hips. The captain probably didn't see her coming.
Kasumi, with the help of her suit's booster, dashed towards the M1-Astrays while taking out both the daggers from the white suit's hip compartments and sliced the M1-Astray in the left's beam rifle in half before it can even train it and fire. She then spun her unit around and impaled the M1-Astray's torso with the dagger. Not long after that, the M1-Astray exploded after falling onto the ground.
Trying to catch Kasumi off-guard, the remaining M1-Astray threw its beam rifle aside and grab its beam saber while running towards her. It took out its beam saber and was ready slice its adversary only to have its right arm sliced off by the crimson unit's dagger.
"Don't you know it's rude to sneak up on a lady like that?" Kaoru smirked, looking at her crippled enemy. "You should just…" She trailed and brought her mobile suit's left arm up. "…die," She hissed dangerously.
The two girls inwardly thanked their enhanced reflexes after avoiding a line of beam that had just zipped pass the two.
"Who was that?" Kaoru grunted as she scanned her monitor for the one who just fired at her and her sister while adjusting her unit to land onto the ground. She then looked over to her sister's white unit which just landed. "Kasumi, you have any idea on who just fired at us?" She asked and continued watching.
"My radar is showing no reading," Kasumi replied while continued looking around for any possible source where the beam came from.
"Where are you…?" Kaoru whispered to herself.
Kyle brought his unit's arm down after firing a beam to the two units that barely prevented one of them from killing the pinned-down M1-Astray.
"All energy redirect back to the suit's weapons," Kyle said behind his black flight-suit and the computer beeped. "Relieve outer Mirage Colloid particles," The computer beeped again and all the monitors and screens lighten up.
A set of words were then displayed onto the monitor in front of him.
Generation
Unsubdued
Nuclear

A pair of blue light flashed.
"Kyle Sui, Strike-R, beginning mission," A hissing sound was heard as the image of a black mobile suit kneeling down on one knee slowly became visible. The Strike-R stood up, blocking the sun light with its black metallic armor.
The mobile suit resembles the other two except for its body and eye color. Compared to the other two units, the Strike-R's back booster is slightly bigger than the two, signifying its more powerful boost.
"Targets confirmed; GAT-X105 Strike and MBF-02 Strike Rouge. Strike-R, engaging in combat mode," Kyle said before the alarm rang. He brought up his unit's shield that covered almost all of its body when the Strike and the Strike Rouge fired its Close-In Weapon System installed on both sides of the unit's head.
Putting its shield aside, the Strike-R took out its beam rifle that had single-edged blade attached at its lower body and fired a few lines of green beams. The two units dashed away from the beams' path and avoided it.
Kaoru grunted as she landed her Strike Rouge after Kasumi did. "I don't know who you are or what you want but you will regret firing at me and my sis," She hissed deadly and dashed her unit to the front and brought both the Strike Rouge's daggers up.
The Strike-R's blue eyes flashed and it took out its beam rifle. Instead of firing it, the black mobile suit brought its rifle up and swung it down hardly. The rifle/blade's body slid to the top of the rifle's butt, turning it into a long blade.
A wing-like yellow light burst out of Kyle's unit's booster as it dashed to the front with the blade brought back. Sparks flew around when the two mobile suit's weapon clashed together. The Strike Rouge's power was proved inferior to the Strike-R's when the black mobile suit easily threw its crimson adversary's daggers away from its hands. Kyle then swung his unit's shield anti-clockwise and smashed the Strike Rouge away.
The alarm in Kyle's unit blared and he stepped on the pedal and pulled the handle to the back, his unit dashed to the back and avoided a line of beam that barely zipped pass him. Kyle turned his unit around and saw the Strike standing there with a stolen beam rifle in its hand.
The white mobile suit sent another barrage of beams out from its beam rifle that it stole from the one of the M1-Astrays that Kasumi and Kaoru strike down earlier. The Strike-R avoided all the beams that Kasumi shot. She grunted frustratingly and again sends another barrage of beams to her adversary who avoided them gracefully while approaching to her unit.
When Kyle was close enough, the Strike shot its dagger which it held in its left hand to the front. Kyle already knew this and bent his unit down and brought the Strike-R's shield up vertically to stop the white mobile suit's movements. He then brought the Strike-R's blade up and smashed it down only to slice the Strike's beam rifle instead when the white unit dashed away at the last second.
"What is with this mobile suit?" Kasumi grunted while struggling to regain control of her unit.
Kyle dashed towards the Strike after the beam rifle that he split into two exploded. He quickly braked and jumped back when a rain of missiles came showering his unit from above, separating the black mobile suit from its white adversary. Kyle looked over to the radar and saw a few incoming mobile suits.
Probably reinforcement… He thought to himself and looked back over to the two Gundams when the alarm in his cockpit ran again. The two Gundams took this to their advantage and fired the CIWS to Kyle who brought up his mobile suit's shield and reflected all bullets away.
"Kasumi, let's retreat," Kaoru's voice came from the speaker in Kasumi's cockpit. "We'll let the others handle him; we'll be in deep trouble if the mobile suits are damaged any further,"
"Roger," Kasumi said.
While still firing, the two units' booster came to life as they slowly ascend from the ground and flew away from the battlefield.
"Trying to escape?" Kyle shouted and was about to pursue them when another rain of missiles came falling from above again, forcing him to cover his unit's body with its shield.
"Did I get him?" A young man asked to himself after firing a barrage of missiles from a pair of wing-like booster jetpack that his mobile suit was equipped with.
Having a deep lavender color platting for their chest and red for their torso, the entire mobile suit is in grey excluding their black joints. Their head resembles a safety helmet with an antenna sticking up on its right and instead of having separated eyes, their vision cameras are somehow connected and greatly resembles a visor.
The grey mobile suit carried a beam rifle and a slightly large shield; a beam saber can also be seen on both sides of the hip-compartment. Equipped on the back of the mobile suit is a wing-like booster jetpack. Built, to increase the unit's mobility, the jetpack also comes with four missile-pods with two on each side for offensive purpose.
"Careful, you might hit Ms. Kaoru and Ms. Kasumi," An older man said and drove his mobile suit that differs from the other man's to the front of a total of 7 similar mobile suits, signifying his higher rank among the other 7 mobile suits.
His mobile suit is almost similar to the other 7 mobile suits if it wasn't for its blue color body platting rather than a deep purple body platting and its white body color instead of grey. A pair of 'V' fin under a diamond shaped protrusion is located on its forehead and not to mention its improved thrusters installed everywhere. Just like the other 7 dark lavender mobile suits, the improved unit was also equipped with the similar pair of wing-like booster jetpack.
"Alright everybody, we will all go down and destroy their mobile suit hangars while providing a distraction to them while letting Ms. Kaoru and Ms. Kasumi to escape," He said as he turned his unit around and received a 'Yes, sir,' from the other 7 mobile suits. At that, they begin to descend.
"The time has really come, the time to beat some sense back to the world and restore it back to the way it was…" The captain trailed. "All for the perseveration of our Blue and Pure World,"
The team of mobile suits dispersed when a few lines of beams zipped pass through them. "What?" One of the pilots shouted while struggling to stabilize his unit. A black mobile suit that looked like it had wings dashed past them and flew to the sky. "The missiles… What a strong armor it has,"
"Now is not the time to be praising others!" The captain shouted and aimed his unit's beam rifle to the sky after avoiding another line of beam that came falling from the sky. If it wasn't for the blinding lights of the sun, he would've already shot down their enemy. "It's only one unit; all squad, proceed to 'O' formation and shoot that damn thing down,"
As ordered, the squadron of 8 mobile suits formed an 'O' shape around and began blindingly releasing beam in the air. "Captain, the sunlight is blocking us. We can't see the enemy," One of the pilots grunted and sent a few shots of beams to the sky, unsuccessfully hitting their target.
"Continue shooting," The captain barked coldly.
A pair of green eyes then flashed in the middle of the formation.
"You kids sure are having fun…" A red mobile suit slowly became visible, sending shock to the entire squadron. "…But now, its time for the adults to do their works!"
Before the entire squadron could react, a yellow-beam blade came out from each of the red mobile suit's lower arm compartment that looked like a blade that had its tip facing backwards at the elbow of the mobile suit. It then spun around and immediately, divided 5 of those grey mobile suits into two with great ease with its beam saber. Several screams were heard before they were silenced forever with explosions.
There were 3 mobile suits that managed to escape from having their bodies separated from their legs; the captain's blue unit and two grey units.
"David James Walker, Asura. Slice and Dice, pal," The red mobile suit, whom David referred as Asura, flashed its green eyes as it brought down its arms after deactivating the beam saber weapon installed in a blade-compartment attached beneath its arm.
"What are those two units? There was nothing about them in the briefing," One of the pilots from the grey mobile suit shouted in fear and looked over to his captain. The two units that just showed up aren't in the briefing they were given before beginning their mission. "Are they from Orb or ZAFT?"
Taking a closer look, the three of them could make out clearly out of the red unit that just wasted their squadron in just merely three seconds. The Asura had an abnormally tall Search-Cam on top of its head and a pair of widely opened yellow 'V' fin under a red triangular shaped protrusion. Aside from the blade-compartment attachment, the tip of the red unit's foots had two what seemed to be talons sticking out that looked like it could be raised up.
But the thing that put the three mobile suits in awe wasn't those or the fact that it had a stealth system installed in it, it was the two foldable cannons that was stored behind its back and its large hip-compartment that looked like it could transform into something on both sides of its hips. Surrounding the red unit was red sparkles that was emitted from the unit's booster, making it looked like its being swallowed by flames.
"I don't care what it is, just shoot it down!" The captain barked and raised his unit's beam rifle and shoot. The other two did the same.
Just before the beams was about to make contact with the red mobile suit, the Asura raised its left arm and generated a beam shield that blocked off the beams.
"Enemies confirmed; two GAT-02L2 Dagger L and a GAT-04 Windam. Asura, beginning to wipe out the enemies," David affirmed behind his red flight-suit. He then looked over to the side where a small round green object was placed in what seemed to be a container that links to the cockpit's main computer. "Let's do it, Haro,"
The round object blinked its red eyes and flapped its mechanical ears. "Haro, Haro. Roger," Haro replied.
The two cannons behind the Asura's back began to unfold and leaned itself on top of the red unit's shoulder. It then fired two lines of red-blue beams and shot through the cockpit of the two Daggers and would explode soon after.
The remaining Windam stood in awe, he could believe it; his entire squad was completely wiped out by two unknown mobile suits. He knew he would be risking his life if he were to go against the two mobile suits. The captain turned his unit around and dashed off the battlefield. "I have to retreat now, no way in hell I would fight those two," He grunted while looking at the red mobile suit's image getting smaller and smaller as he dashed even further.
The alarm in his cockpit then sounded, much to his shock, just right in front of him was the black mobile suit. His fear had taken the best of him, he couldn't command his hands to move away let alone moving his hands as it was shaking uncontrolled.
"Who the hell are you people?" The captain asked shakily, swallowing the bile forming in his throat. "And… what do you want?" He half-shouted while leaning to the front. He wasn't sure if the pilot in the black mobile suit could hear him or not but it was worth a try.
"We want…"
The voice of a young male sounded behind his speakers. "Huh?" The captain asked himself.
"…world peace,"
"What? Are you in-," The pilot of the Windam stopped; he knew that it would only bring no results talking to the black unit's pilot. This pilot… He must be a young boy. Perhaps if I could manipulate his mind a little, The captain smirked to himself as he thought to himself.
"So you want to achieve world peace, that's to say that we have the same goal together," The captain wasn't sure if his words had affected the other pilot as he didn't give a response. "I don't know about you but that is why we were formed. An organization under the name 'Blue Cosmos', we have dedicated ourselves to preserve our blue and pure world by eliminating humankind's biggest threat; coordinator,"
"We-," The captain tried to say before getting interrupted when an image popped out on the screen of the captain's cockpit. He couldn't make out the pilot's face as his helmet's visor was blocking.
Kyle lowered his head down. "Blue Cosmos huh?" he said softly.
"Yeah kid, that's right," He said proudly.
There was a brief pause. "So to achieve your blue and pure world, all coordinators must be eliminated. And it is for that reason that 'we' were created, isn't that so?"
"What?" The captain was confused. What did that kid meant by 'we'?
"Saying that altering genetics were a despicable action against nature while you yourself created 'us' to aid you on your warfare…" Kyle hissed dangerously.
The captain's hands began to shake violently again and sweats began to cover his face. "Don't tell me…"
"You know what?"
"…that you're…"
"The likes of you…"
"…you're an…"
"…should just…"
"…'Extended'"
"…die," Kyle then brought his head up and immediately sent chills down the captain's spine as he glared sharply into the captain's eyes.
Forcing his hands to move, the captain successfully brought his units beam saber out and swung it blindly.
The black mobile suit backed off and then took out its rifle/blade and shot off both of the Windam's arms. The Strike-R then switched its rifle to the blade and brought it up.
"D-…devil, it's a devil!" The captain shouted in fear and shot his hand up in defensive form and the next thing he felt was a violent rock followed by cold hard steel and an endless pain of heat and finally, everything around him was pitch black.
The Strike-R stared with its blue eyes as it watches its adversary engulfed into a ball of flame before shattered parts of its body started to fall onto the ground. A beep came from the monitor as the image of David James Walker appeared onto the screen.
"Mission complete eh, Kyle?" David asked. The sound of his Haro talking was heard behind him.
"Yeah," Kyle replied flatly and looked around the military base; it was in a mess. Before they could do anything else their radar beeped, indicating two incoming mobile suits. Two Murasames was flying towards them.
"Let's head back to base. I don't want to attract any unwanted attention," David said and dashed his Asura away. A red flame-like sparkles spread out from its booster.
"Roger," Kyle turned his unit around and flew at the same direction as David. A pair of yellow wings of light spread from the Strike-R's booster as it flew away, leaving a trail of particles that looked like feathers.
Archangel bridge, 6.00 p.m.
The crew of the Archangel ship looked into the monitor as it was showing the news channel. A few hours had already passed after an epic battle that had just taken place in space. With all their mobile suits dispatched to the surface, the enemy space-ship didn't stand a chance against the legendary legged-ship, the Archangel. It didn't help the enemy space-ship out much that the Archangel still have one mobile suit docked, a particular gold mobile suit.
After the battle, the Archangel descended onto Earth to meet up with their comrades in their hidden-base situated in Orb.
The slide door slid open as David James Walker, followed by his green Haro, and Kyle Sui appeared on the other side of the door. "Good work, you two," Mariah La Flaga told the two as they entered the bridge of the battleship.
David scoffed. "It was nothing though we indirectly picked a fight with the terrorists and the whole world as well. After all, the world doesn't know our existence, or rather, had forgotten our existence in this world," He said.
Mary placed her index finger on her lips. "The news is on. Elaine, prepare the video package," The blonde-headed girl nodded and turned over to her monitor and swept her fingers on the keyboard.
"Video package readied," Elaine said and looked over to Mary. "Video ready to be sent anytime, Mary,"
"Thank you. Now, does anybody have any idea where my brother is?" The captain asked and looked around, hoping for an answer.
"Robert is still in the hangar," The dark blue-haired man replied.
Mary sighed and pinched her forehead. "That's expected from him. Wait till I get to him," The crew, except for Kyle, couldn't help but laugh at their captain and her brother's brother-sister relationship.
Their laughter was cut short when the news channel's theme song played. Their attentions were soon onto the main monitor.
GNN news studio, 6.00 p.m.
The GNN, or rather known as Global News Network to the whole world, is a popular news channel throughout the whole world. Their bravery and commitments in their jobs had always never fail to bring live coverage of any incident to be viewed worldwide.
An elderly woman in her early thirties, sat behind a desk filled with papers scattered apart in front of a set of lights and the camera crews, signifying her rank as an anchorwoman. She had a pair of dark blue eyes and a long curly golden hair that reached to her back. She wore a pink collared shirt under a black coat and a pair of slack pants. She also wore a pair of black high-heels shoes to match with her appearance.
"Tomoe, are you ready? We're getting ready to go live in 30," The cameraman said as he positioned the camera onto the anchorwoman who he reveals as Tomoe.
Tomoe nodded and arranged the scattered papers into one pile and placed it neatly in front of her. She then took out a make-up kit from her handbag and affirmed her appearance one last time. Abruptly, she placed her make-up kit back as the cameraman gave the signal of countdown before they go live.
"3, 2, 1," The cameraman signaled and pointed to Tomoe as the theme song for their news broadcast was played.
"Good evening everybody. I'm Tomoe Kawasaki and you're watching GNN news," She introduced herself as always in a calm demeanor. "As everyone may have already notice, earlier today, there were terrorist attacks involving mobile suits. The attacks were highly concentrated in military bases in Orb,"
The director, who stood beside the cameraman, gestured to somebody. There was then a video-footage of the aftermath of the attack being played. Bodies of both civilians and military workers being lined up under a sheet of white cloth covering them was shown, blood and disintegrated body parts littered around the ground. Boulders that were once a part of a building scattered around the battle-field, some unfortunate vehicles were smashed into metallic pancakes.
"The reason of the attack was unknown. However, the terrorist were reported to have a large variety of Earth Alliance Federation mobile suits in their hands and a video-jack delivered earlier today before the attack confirmed of the terrorist's identities as Blue Cosmos. The Earth Alliance Federation had denied of any relationship between the terrorist,"
After that, another video-footage popped up, this time it looked like in a conference or something. The representative of the Earth Alliance Federation stood proud against the flickering flashes from the cameras. With a strong influential voice, he protested at the suggestion of the terrorist attack being launched by the Earth Alliance Federation. There was then a thunderous applause being heard in the footage.
"Next on, we have a report of the sightings of two unknown mobile suits that helped retaliated the terrorist. No information was found regarding about the two mobile suits; the Earth Alliance Federation, Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty and Orb claimed that they do not own those mobile suits. We've acquired an on-the-scene footage from an anonymous source. We will now play the video-footage,"
Tomoe then licked her dried lips as she re-arranged the pile of papers in front of her. She could faintly hear the director asking one of the crews to play the video-footage. After that, a blurry and shaky video footage was played.
It started off with the terrorist's mobile suits forming an 'O' formation and shooting at something in the sky. Suddenly, a red mobile suit materialized itself in the middle of the terrorists and immediately destroyed majority of the enemies in the sky. The camera then was focused onto the falling destroyed mobile suits that exploded into balls of flames. A blue-red flash caught its attention back onto the mobile suits in the sky. Then, there was only one mobile suit left against the red mobile suit. It tried to escape only to have another new unknown black mobile suit blocking its path, the two float there for a moment before the terrorist mobile suit swung blindly around. The black mobile suit shot off both the mobile suit's arms and sliced it in half before it exploded.
Archangel bridge, 6.24 p.m.
"Wow, looking good there, Kyle," The dark blue haired man whistled at looking at one of his companion in action. Kyle ignored it but the man had already expected it from Kyle. After all, Kyle wasn't exactly as bright as his age showed.
"I must admit," Mary trailed and placed her hand on her chin. "The mobile suits' abilities were beyond my expectations," She said with a proud smile implanted on her smooth features.
"You were impressed at that? Wait till you pilot it," David chuckled. His green Haro bounced happily while flapping its ears. "Haro, Haro. You've said it," it added.
"Perhaps… with the help of the Gundams, we can really finally achieve our goal," Mary said softly. "No… Chairman Clyne's goal,"
"'Former'-Chairman Clyne," David corrected while emphasizing on the word 'former'. "Oh and captain," There was a hint of sarcasm in David's tone of voice. "Aren't you forgetting something?"
It didn't take long for Mary to recall what she had forgotten as she smacked her own head. "My apologies," she said and turned over to Elaine. "Elaine, please send the video now,"
"Roger," Hastily, Elaine turned over to her station and typed the commands on the keyboard to send the video package out. "Video sent, Mary,"
"Thank you," She thanked and turned her attention back to the main monitor. "Now, let's sit back and enjoy the show,"
GNN news studio, 6.29 p.m.
"Well, that concludes the news for today. Please tune into GNN news next time for more updates, I'm Tomoe Kawasaki. Good night everybo," When she was about to finish her usual line, the monitors behind her suddenly blacked out.
"What's going on?" The director shouted to the crew. The crew immediately turned on a television that they use to monitor their work and only saw black screen.
The monitor then returns to live, much to everyone's relief. However, instead of showing Tomoe's face, it showed of a face of another female. Tomoe got up from her seat and turned around to look at the monitor, just like the rest of the crew and the director, they stood in awe as they looked into the baby-blue eyes of a pink-haired lady.
Immediately, Tomoe could recognize the female.
Opening her mouth, she spoke in the most melodious tone that once hypnotized the ears of many people with her songs. "Greetings everyone…" The female trailed. "… My name is…."
"Lacus Clyne,"
Archangel bridge, 6.30 p.m.
"Well then," David sighed and crossed his arms and looked over to Kyle. "Guess there's no turning back after the whole world knows our existence, huh?"
"No more turning back, no more turning back," David's Haro said, blinking its little beady red eyes.
"Once," Kyle said out suddenly, catching everyone's attention," There was a wise man; he asked another man, 'Did God create darkness? Did God create cold? Did God create evil?'"
Kyle continued on. "The other man didn't know the answer and the wise man told him; 'the answer is no. Darkness is a term people use to describe the absence of light in a place, cold is a term used to describe the absence of heat in a place. And evil is used to describe the absence of God in someone.'."
"In the world that we live in now, there is no God in this world," Kyle said in a cold tone. "That is why, we have Gundams. We will wash away all the evil in the world with the power of the Gundams,"
"Yeah," David said while exhaling. "That is our purpose of existence,"
"… As the next generation of Clyne Faction,"
Author's Note: Well, so what do you think?
This was just a rough storyline I've created out of pure stress. As for the time-line, I'm still unable to give out a concrete time-line for it. Besides, I wasn't exactly sure whether to continue it or not in the first place.
Now, let's head on to the characters. The reason why I chose to use my own created characters is because I think that writing a created character would be challenging. I have a tendency to use my own name in any stories I've created so far and David James Walker is my own created character that I included in almost all of my stories. And as you may have notice, the crew in the newly upgraded Archangel have the same last name as the heroes from the past Gundam SEED franchise. And yes, they are blood-related to them. (e.g. Elaine Elsman is the daughter of Dearka Elsman and Miriallia Haw.)
Next on, the mobile suits and the machines. There were two new mobile suits that I created in this story; Strike-R Gundam and Asura Gundam. As stated above, I like to challenge myself by writing new stuffs. Oh and you might be asking this question, "How come Archangel is using Mirage Colloid?". Well, I would like to think of it as an upgrade to it. If you do not agree to this, I can always change it. And lastly, I need your opinions, did I describe the mobile suits in the story well? Please do correct me in any ways you think suits you.
Reviews would be nice and if you have any questions regarding about this story, feel free to ask and I will try my best to fulfill your questions. Criticisms are accepted too if you hate my story very much.
This is to Italian Mutt: Many thanks to your encouragement. If it really happens that I would continue this story, may I ask to borrow your Devil Gundam from your story? I would very much like to include it into my story as a tribute to you. Please and thanks.
Kyle,
