Kira x Murrue fanfic continuation - Chapter 18
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam SEED, Gundam SEED Destiny, or Gundam 00, so please point that damned lawsuit cannon at someone else!
Suddenly, at the very edge of the Earth's atmosphere, a bright flash of light lit up the night sky as four ships entered the universe. As the three ships of Celestial Being exchanged fire with the Executer, an unknown voice spoke through their comm. lines. "The energy from the Moonlight Butterfly is capable of destroying any technology that it comes into contact with!"
On the bridge of the Archangel and the Ptolemiaos, everyone's eyes widened at the words that they had just heard, in addition the sensor systems of both ships were detecting hundreds of mobile suits on the Earth's surface.
On the bridge of the Ptolemiaos, Sumeragi sarcastically muttered. "So, we left one war only to be thrown into another...wonderful." She paused for a moment before then opening a comm. line to the Archangel.
"Captain Ramius," Sumeragi said, allowing a sly smile to cross her lips. "Why don't we see if the Executer is capable of atmospheric re-entry?"
Murrue grinned and nodded as she replied. "That's not a bad idea."
A few short seconds later, both the Archangel and the Ptolemiaos dove down into the atmosphere, with the Executer hot on their heels. While the two ships entered the atmosphere, with the Executer right behind them, the Celestial Being colony ship opened another universal rift, quickly vanishing with a flash of light. This time the Celestial Being colony ship was heading back to the Anno Domini timeline so that the survivors whom had been saved from the endless war in the Cosmic Era could be evacuated.
Even though the Celestial Being colony ship had left, the Archangel and the Ptolemiaos still had a total of twelve Gundams between them, consisting of the 000 Gundam, the 00 Raiser, the Cherudim, the Seravee, the Seraphim, the Arios, the Exia, the 0 Gundam, the Infinite Justice, the Destiny, not to mention the captured Freedom and Strike Freedom, as well as the two dozen Murasames which they had recovered while in the Cosmic Era, ten of which were Murasame Reconnaissance Types. As a result, the two ships were far from defenseless.
As the ships descended deeper into the atmosphere, they both began to generate another universal rift. When they were only a few hundred feet above the ground both ships entered the rift, leaving the Executer behind to plow into the surface of the Earth.
As the Archangel and the Ptolemiaos exited the universal rift, their sensor systems detected what appeared to be a large fighter aircraft high above them, but they also noticed that the fighter aircraft was being pursued by three mobile suits.
Down in the Archangel's hanger bay, Kira Yamato jumped into the cockpit of the 000 Gundam and opened a comm. line to the bridge. "Murrue, I'm going to launch in order to help that fighter pilot."
Murrue nodded in understanding. "Good luck and come back alive, Kira."
Kira nodded as his Gundam was moved towards the launch catapult. As his machine was secured to the catapult, he watched as the launch catapult doors slowly opened. After a few short seconds, the doors had opened completely and Meyrin's voice announced. "000 Gundam, launch path clear, all systems green, you are cleared for launch."
"000 Gundam, Kira Yamato, launching." Kira announced as he throttled up the GN drives and flew out of the ship. The 000 Gundam burst forward through the sky as it activated its Wings of Light, streaking forward and leaving glowing afterimages in its wake.
Suddenly a group of mobile suits moved to attack Kira and he growled as a brightly glowing purple seed burst in his mind. In an instant, Kira's eyes faded into the washed out glaze of a SEED possessed individual, and faster then either the Archangel's or the Ptolemiaos's sensors could track, the 000 Gundam boosted towards the fighter jet, but to everyone's surprise, it suddenly transformed into a mobile suit.
"T-that's the Wing Gundam Zero." Murrue said in shock, her voice barely audible as she stared at the red, white and blue machine.
The machine did indeed appear to be very similar to the Wing Gundam Zero, which the Clyne Faction had built and deployed at the end of the Second Bloody Valentine War, but the machine which everyone was now staring at was actually a descendent of the Wing Gundam Zero; the XXXG-01W Wing Gundam.
Kira watched in horror as the Wing Gundam aimed its buster rifle at the now disabled mobile suits and fired a single shot. The bright yellow beam blast that shot forth from the rifle erased the three machines from existence in an instant.
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?!? THOSE PILOTS WERE COMPLETELY DEFENSELESS!" Kira screamed as he freed the beam rifle from his lower back and aimed it at the Wing Gundam.
"Additional target confirmed, unknown mobile suit targeted. Locking on." Heero Yuy said from the cockpit of the Wing Gundam, his voice completely devoid of emotions, as the Wing Gundam aimed its buster rifle at the 000 Gundam.
"Bring it on!" Kira snarled.
Heero pulled the trigger, but in instant before the beam struck, Kira activated his Trans-Am System and once again ignited his Wing of Light, dodging the blast then activating his Mirage Colloid Stealth System.
Two short seconds later, Heero's eyes widened ever so slightly as his buster rifle was suddenly cleaved in half by an invisible weapon. Heero growled as he quickly freed a beam saber from his shield, but the instant that he ignited the glowing blade in his right hand, the weapon was destroyed by a beam blast, which had come at him from below and to the left. When the smoke cleared, Kira was surprised to see that the Wing Gundam's arm had been undamaged, despite the explosion of the beam saber.
"Give up already, you can't attack what you can't see." Kira said as he scanned the machine, noticing that the only weapons that it possessed consisted of another beam saber, twin Vulcan guns in the head and twin CIWS guns in the torso. Just as Kira finished scanning the Wing Gundam, the machine freed and ignited its second beam saber, and again Kira destroyed the weapon with a well-placed blast from his beam rifle.
"Attention pilot, your weapons have been destroyed you have no choice but to surrender." Kira said as both the Archangel and the Ptolemiaos approached the Wing Gundam.
Meanwhile, in the Archangel's hanger bay, the Freedom and Strike Freedom were both being moved towards the launch catapults. As the two machines were secured to the catapult, the two women watched as the launch catapult doors slowly opened. After a few short seconds, the doors had opened completely and Meyrin's voice announced. "Freedom, Strike Freedom, launch paths clear, all systems green, you are both cleared for launch."
"Lacus Clyne, Freedom, taking off."
"Cagalli Yula Athha, Strike Freedom, launching."
The Archangel shuddered slightly as both of the launch catapults fired, the Freedom and the Strike Freedom both boosting out from the ship, each machine leaving a trail of glowing GN Particles in its wake.
As the Freedom, Strike Freedom and 000 Gundam cautiously approached the Wing Gundam, the green orb in its chest started to glow.
"What is that pilot doing?" Kira asked, receiving a shrug from both Lacus and Cagalli.
His answer came a fraction of a second later, when a sudden burst of light began to emanate from the Wing Gundam, but the light faded a few short seconds later as different parts of the Wing Gundam were bathed in a red glow. For a brief second nothing happened, but then a massive explosion erupted from the machine as the Wing Gundam self-destructed, the remains of the machine falling towards the ocean below, leaving everyone staring in shock.
Kira was the first to recover from his shock quickly after the falling machine and catching it before it slammed into the ocean. To his surprise, the machine was still mostly intact; the only parts of the Wing Gundam that had been destroyed were the wings, both arms and the right leg.
And so, Chapter 18 is complete.
Unless the Executer was somehow able to remain in one piece after slamming into the ground, not to mention the fact that the Executer also lacks jump drives, I don't think it will be bothering Celestial Being anymore.
Celestial Being has also added the Wing Gundam into it compliment of weapons, although it remains to be seen if the pilot survived the self-destruction of the Gundam.
A few question to the readers;
1) Should Heero join Celestial Being?
2) Considering that Heero doesn't even know about the Wing Gundam Zero until the middle of the series, how do you think he'll react to the fact that Celestial Being has it in the Archangel's hanger bay?
3) Should the Executer come back?
4) If the Executer does come back, how long should it take before it makes its next appearance?
5) Should the Executer be upgraded, and if so, what kind if upgrades would you guys like to see?
6) Kira hasn't used the 000 Gundam's holoshroud technology, which Shinn had mentioned when he was explaining the features of the new Gundam, but when Kira does use the holoshroud, do you guys have any ideas for what he could make the Gundam look like?
7) I've also been thinking of having the jump drives malfunction, sending the two ships back the the Cosmic Era, but also back to just before or after the First Bloody Valentine War started, what do you guys think?
I have a few ideas for some, but not all of the above question, but I want everyone else's opinions too.
1) No comment.
2) No comment.
3) Maybe, but I want to see if the readers want the Executer to make another appearance.
4) I'm not sure on this one.
5) I have a few small ideas, but I need more...
6) I was think that maybe Kira would use something truly disturbing. Imagine this; instead of a Gundam, a giant man with empty, profusly bleeding eye sockets, mouth sewn shut, part of the scalp and skull gone exposing the brain, arms and legs covered with deep, profusely bleeding gashes, and finally a hole in the chest, showing the still beating heart. That's not taking into account that this 'gaint man' will be quite heavily armed as well. (You guys can add onto this idea if you want to.)
7) Despite the fact that this idea just screams "TIME PARADOX!" I like it and have been seriously considering it, but again I want the opinions of my readers.
