"How's the training of our new weapon coming along?" Muruta Azrael asked four other Blue Cosmos members standing in front of his desk. He sat back looking at the sunset over-looking the Blue Cosmos Training base from inside of the base's HQ on the 8th floor. The base was a basic one, an airfield with a control tower and hanger for the planes, barracks, mess hall, obstacle course, firing range, a make shift prison, fitness center, and garage for their land vehicles.
"Extremely well, sir," one of the members said, stepping up in front of the other members. "We have finally convinced the brat of humanity's enemy. As a reward he was given more 'freedom' to go around the base," the member finished with a dark smirk.
Another member on the right stood at attention. "He has already mastered Shandong black tiger kung fu and Northern style dragon kung fu. He passed weapons training, flight training, and computer training with flying colors. We are planning to continue his infiltration and survival training as soon as he's finished with his demolition training," the member said, saluting at the beginning and placing his hand back down at the end of his explanation.
"Good, good," Muruta said, standing up from his chair and faced the four unknown members. "With his abilities we will be able to takeout the Chairmen of the PLANTs and we'll be that much closer to exterminating all Coor-."
Muruta was cut off as he heard a large explosion and the ground beneath him shook violently, making one of the Blue Cosmos members in front of him lose his balance and fall flat on his back. Muruta managed to grab onto his desk for support as the shaking died off, quickly pressed a button on his intercom linking him to the rest of the base. "What the hell is happening?!" he yelled into the comm, asking the question on the minds of the other four members in his office.
"There was an explosion coming from the vehicle garage!" said a man who sounded like he was in his late twenties from the intercom.
A beeping sound came from one of the Blue Cosmos members in the room. The member on the far left pulled out a military issued phone and pressed the button on its face. "What is it?" he asked.
Muruta noticed the expression on the guy's face turn from surprise to panic and anger. "WHAT?! What do you mean he escaped his overseers?!" the man yelled into the phone making everyone looked at him. "Get him back, no matter what!" he finished before he closed the phone up and ran out of the office followed closely by Muruta and the other three Blue Cosmos members.
Once outside of the building Muruta quickly glanced around and saw several people running toward where the explosion occurred. He heard gunfire coming from his right so he turned to see one of the base's jeeps rounding the corner. He couldn't see who was in the jeep because the top was on it. It had several bullet holes in the windshield. His eyes widen as he saw the jeep head right for him.
"Look out!" one of the members shouted as he and the rest of the group dived out of the jeep's way as it shot passed them. Muruta quickly stood up when he saw other members of Blue Cosmos coming to him. "Are you alright sir?" they asked.
"I'm fine," Muruta replied, dusting himself off and straightening his suit.
"The brat is in the Jeep!" someone shouted while from another jeep in hot pursuit of the escapee, heading for the main gate.
"Stop that jeep no matter what!" Muruta yelled in anger as two jeeps stopped near the group. "I don't care if you have to blow the vehicle up, just don't let him escape!" he finished as he jumped into the passenger seat and took off after the escapee.
Muruta's jeep caught up with the 9 jeeps and 6 VTOL fighters giving chase after escapee. When the jeep was 2/3 of the way to the main gate, the ground behind the left rear wheel exploded from a shot coming from one of the base's Linear Tanks near the main gate. The jeep flipped over and tumbled end over end for a few seconds before coming to a screeching halt on its left side. The right door was no where to be found.
The vehicles chasing the jeep quickly surrounded it from all directions. Several people in the pursuing jeeps jumped out, rifles in hand, and ran to the crashed car in a semicircle.
Muruta jumped out of his jeep and walked to the other Cosmos members. "Get that little bastard out of that jeep!" he ordered as he stopped behind the other members. 'He's going to regret ever trying to escape,' he thought, anger clouding his mind. 'I'll make sure he gets some "disciplinary" action for this,' he finished with a smirk on his face as three people managed to climb up on the jeep and looked down into it.
"What the-?! The bastard is not here," one of the men yelled in surprise as he poked his head into the jeep while the other two covered him with their assault rifles. He then reached into the jeep, took something mounted on the steering wheel, and showed it to everyone, "He's been using this to remote-control the jeep."
"What?!" Muruta shouted, surprised that the kid was not in the crashed vehicle. "Why would he-," He stopped himself mid-sentence and looked towards he air field, on the other side of the massive base.
"He's at the Air Field!" one of the members shouted as the others scrambled back to the vehicles and rode to the runway, while the VTOLs flew at high speeds towards the airfield as well.
(Runway R65)
"Come on, Come on!" 14 year old Kazuma muttered quickly underneath his flight helmet as his stolen F-7D Spearhead fighter taxied to one of the runway. He took a quick glance over his right shoulder to see six VTOL fighters coming quickly towards the runway.
'Looks like they figured it out,' he thought as he looked back at his controls and runway. When Kazuma's spearhead was at the opposite end of the runway, he took a deep breath before placing the plane's throttle to maximum. The engines on the fighter roared to life and propelled him forward.
Kazuma tightened his grip on the control stick as he felt his body get heavier from the rapidly increasing speed. He quickly looked over the controls and then looked towards the airfields entrance to see nine vehicles coming towards him at full speed. "Shit," he silently cursed as he saw them getting closer, then he looked at the airspeed indicator which read 78mph.
He heard the sound of bullets passing over the canopy, making him look over his shoulder to see three VTOL fighters were now close enough to use their 20mm gatling gun. "Double Shit," Kazuma said, looking back at the runway and then at the airspeed indicator which now read 145mph. 'Good enough,' he thought, pulling back on the yoke making the fighter climb into the air.
When Kazuma's fighter was 50 feet off the ground, the plane's lock-on warning sounded. He fixed his gaze straight ahead at the other end of the runway to see another jeep with a person holding an ground-to-air missile launcher. It didn't take long before the man fired the missile right at him.
"Aw, Triple Shit," Kazuma said silently as he saw the missile come closer to him. At the last second Kazuma made his fighter barrel roll. Time seemed to slow down to Kazuma as he saw the missile pass right above his canopy, leaving only a few feet, while he was upside down. A few milliseconds after the missile passed over his canopy he completed the roll and was now back at horizon level.
The missile continued to fly even though it missed it's intended target. It rammed right into one of the VTOL Fighters pursuing Kazuma's F-7D.
Kazuma quickly pressed one of the buttons on the control panel, retracting the landing gear. He pulled up on the yoke and fired the planes after burners, making the plane do a vertical takeoff. 'I knew I should have worn a G-suit!' he thought feeling the G-forces pull on his body as his F-7D Spearhead rapidly climbed to a safe altitude.
(Back at the end of the runway)
Muruta's jeep came to a screeching halt at the end of the runway. "Launch the other fighters! We can't let him escape!" he ordered, trying to think of a way to get Kazuma back.
"We can't," one of the members said while he tried to talk the pilots over the radio. "Their fuel tanks have been filled with sea water and their engines are nothing better than scrap metal now."
"Then shoot him down with the SAM launchers," Muruta said in a panicking slightly, hoping the missiles could still be launched.
"That's impossible," another member said, making Muruta pale. "The software controlling the SAMs has been infected with a virus. It'll take 5 hours before they are operational again," the man finished before he saw Muruta grab the sides of his head.
Muruta began to silently chuckle manically. "Your dead….." he said, his voice no even above a whisper. He looked up at the escaping F-7D Spearhead and shot a death glare at it while his hands were now back at his side. "YOU HEAR ME YOU LITTLE BASTARD!! YOUR DEEEAAAADDD!!!!!!"
(Back with Kazuma's F-D7)
When the plane reached 5,000 feet above ground level, Kazuma decreased his speed to cruising, leveled out, and made a bearing towards the nearest mass driver. 'I can't go back to Orb's mainland,' he thought with dread as he leaned back into the pilot seat. 'If I do, they would just kidnap me again and put those who are guarding me in danger.'
He then looked back towards the base where he was held captive for the passed six years. "I swear," he whispered, taking his right hand off of the yoke and placed it on his right shoulder. "I will destroy Blue Cosmos."
Kazuma Narrating
That's what happened three years ago. A few hours afterward I managed to eject near the Kaohsiung spaceport and hitch a ride to the Copernicus spaceport. From there I stowed away on a passenger shuttle heading to Heliopolis. Unfortunately someone saw me get on the shuttle.
The guy's name was Kira Yamato and he found me in the cargo hold of the shuttle while he was exploring. He promised not to tell anyone I was there till they had reached Heliopolis and he could ask me why I was on the shuttle in the first place. I didn't have much of a choice so I met with him and his parents. I spent the next few minutes explaining who I was. I still think its funny Kira believed me while his parents were a bit more skeptical.
I had agreed to a DNA and Brain Wave test they suggested under one condition; they keep my location a secret. (chuckles) I still remember the looks on their faces when the test came out positive. It was priceless. Immediately afterward they offered me a place to stay. I tried to protest but they insisted I stay with them. Since then I've been posing as a cousin of Kira as they called me Takashi Yamato.
I've grown a lot during those three years with the Yamatos. I was no longer considered short by anyone in the classes I attended during that time. I am now 5'11"; one of the tallest in the class in the technical college and, so far, life was pretty good. That was until I found out about the Atlantic Federation's plan to make their own mobile suits from the professor who was working at the technical collage Kira and I had been attending to. He had asked me for help on designing the OS for the new 'G-Weapons'. I was about to decline before I remembered that Blue Cosmos practically runs the A.F; so I accepted the job offer, but I made sure it would be extremely difficult to pilot those things.
Little did I know that my life was about to take a drastic turn.
(Gundam SEED Season 1 opening begins)
What do you guys/gals think gthink of Kazuma's escape? I am very proud at how this chapter came out even though it wasn't as long as i hoped. But i am having trouble on decided on what pairings i want to do for this story so i'll let you guys decide via poll.
HOWEVER, I will make it very clear that this story will have two pairing that WILL NOT change. These are OC/Cagalli and Mu/Murrue, this story will not be changed to an Athrun/Cagalli. That pairing is so over-done it's not even funny, actually scratch that, over-done is an understatement.
Other pairings are ok with me because I'm mostly neutral to most of the SEED pairings, so for the next few chapters i'll be taking in votes on which pairing to do.
Lets hear those votes, so until next time, This is SPARTAN-251, signing off...(Click)
