Welcome to the third chapter of Gundam Seed: Orichalcos, in which I would do some advertising within this story. As for the reviews, I am pleased with the results. Anyways, I'm sure the Atlantic Federation has another way of acquiring a mobile suit to replace its useless mobile armors. Enjoy!
Artemis L3
When the Archangel had left the Artemis base, Tomislav also made sure that the ship doesn't have the data from the Gundams that were stolen at Heliopolis. After the departure, Tomislav's squad were in front of Garcia's office doing a debriefing about their mission.
"As you can see, ZAFT would still come after the confirmed ship that docked here." Garcia explained as he showed the Zvonkovic squad the films of ZAFT ships patrolling the area. "Your mission is to distract ZAFT from attacking the ship, and make it come after us."
"Sir, what about the rest of the Orichalcos-class ships?" Tomislav asked. "Are they functional yet?"
"They are, but we only need one ship for ZAFT to handle. Also, the Bloody Valentine Anniversary is coming up. So make sure that there is no conflicts during that time." Garcia replied. "Are there any more questions?"
"I got one." Ricardo said as everyone turned to him. "What happens if the Atlantic Federation officers found out that the mobile suits that were developed for them and its data are stolen?"
"That's their own problem." Garcia replied back. "However, we must also try to recruit any anti-Blue Cosmos officers from the Earth Alliance."
"All right, sir." Tomislav said as they saluted.
"You're dismissed." Garcia said as they left his office. After Tomislav went out of the door, they walked back to the Orichalcos and went straight to their mobile suits. Tomislav then made another debriefing to his squad.
"All right. You heard what the admiral have said. But I also want you guys to know that we might be doing some stealing and attacking on the way." Tomislav explained as the mobile suits were being maintained by the mechanics. "When we get to Earth, we should get to Eurasia and stock up in St. Petersburg. From there, we could go to the Kingdom of Scandinavia."
"Wait, who's the leader of the SRLU?" Amelia asked.
"Let's see. Admiral Romanov is the leader of the freedom fighter group Red Nova and the Cominterg. And the leader of SRLU is the Eurasian Federation. However, the Republic of East Asia might take the top spot as leader." Tomislav replied back.
"What about Orb?" Kira asked.
"Orb would also come under SRLU, unless we would honor its ideals by maintaining its neutrality." Tomislav answered. "In that case, we must be prepared to fight anyone."
"All right." Kira replied. "But we shouldn't fight the Archangel. They're the ones that helped me and my friends."
"We're not going after that ship. We're fighting ZAFT first." Tomislav said. "This also means that we're bound to face the Aegis."
"I know that pilot of the Aegis." Tsubaki said as she typed the OS in her mobile suit. "I also heard about his father being one of the members of the PLANT Supreme Council."
"Yeah, the Zalas." Tomislav answered as he also fixed his OS in the Mokushi. "On Earth, there's a rouge Earth Alliance fleet that is stationed in the port of Dubrovnik. Plus, Orb's super carrier the Takemikazuchi hasn't been built yet, but I'm sure that ourorganization should include sub carriers."
"Sub carriers?" Kira asked as he typed the OD in the Strike.
"Yes, sub carriers."Ricardo said. "They're pretty neat. It's just like you're on a submarine."
"Our organization has built a super carrier that is also able to defend itself like a frigate. Which is whyI decided to call it the frigate carrier." Tomislavsaid as the PA of the Orichalcos cracked to life. It was actually Hernandez speaking over the com. "Attention all crew. We're departing from Artemis base. Our destination for our journey is the city of Dubrovnik."
"What will you name the frigate carrier?" Amelia asked.
"How about the Minato Namikaze?" Ricardo joked. Everyone looked at him with curiosity. "What? It's just a suggestion."
"Great idea, though." Tomislav replied as Markus came by with a small box. "What is it, sir?"
"I have good news, Lt. Comm. Zvonkovic." Markus said as he beckoned the Mokushi pilot to come out of the mobile suit. He then opened a box to reveal a rank insignia with a different symbol. "Congratulations, Commander Zvonkovic."
"Thank you, sir." Tomislav replied as he shook the Nordic man's hand.
"As vell as Lt. Comm. Vedgeback." Markus said as he also gave Amelia her new rank badges. "I hope that there vill be more promotions to come."
"Thank you, sir." Tomislav said as his squad saluted. Markus returned the salute and went away. "All right, squad. We're going out to battle, so be very careful."
"Yes, sir!" his squad replied. Tomislav then beckoned Kira to stay behind. He then asked. "What is it, sir?"
"Should you go near the Aegis, use only disabling shots. Try not to kill each other, OK?"
"Yes, sir." Kira said as he climbed aboard the Strike.
"All hands, proceed to Condition Red! All pilots are to board their mobile suits immediately." Hernandez's voice cracked through the PA. Immediately, the Hyperions launched first. Then, the Kibou was next to launch and the rest of the Gundams soon followed.
"Canard Pars, Kibou. Taking off!"
The Strike was equipped with the Aile pack. Kira was ready to launch. "Kira Yamato. Strike. Launching!"
"Requesting the Force pack." Tomislav said as he waited for the Strike to clear out. "Tomislav Zvonkovic, Mokushi. Let's do it!"
The Bushido was equipped with an Assault Shroud as Ricardo waited for his leader to get out of the way. "Ricardo Soriano, Bushido. Launching!"
"Tsubaki Kazama, Chikara. Taking off!"
"Amelia Wedgeback, Shogun. Coming out!"
"Elizabeth MacIntyre, Inazuma. Going out!"
The Zvonkovic team took off after the unsuspecting ZAFT ship that was continuing its journey tracking down the Archangel. The Gamow was caught completely off guard as the Inazuma went into Mirage Colloid mode and dealt minor damages to the ship. The pilots were shocked at the sudden attack. Yzak was first to recover from the shock.
"What the hell?" Yzak asked.
"We have to launch right now." Nicol replied as they went to their machines in their flight suits. "Dearka, hurry up!"
"OK." Dearka replied back as the mobile suits were being prepared to launch. Yzak was the first one out.
"Yzak Joule, Duel. Taking off!"
"Dearka Elsman, Buster. Launching!"
"Nicol Amalfi, Blitz. Going out!"
The three stolen Gundams then tore after the SRLU machines that were damaging the ship. Yzak went after the Bushido, which is now more dangerously armed thanks to the Assault Shroud.
"Crap! What's with this thing?" Yzak said as he clashed with the Bushido. He then glanced at another incoming mobile suit, which he wanted to fight. "Get out of my way! I want to fight the Strike."
"Not if I can help it!" Ricardo yelled as he fired his beam rifle at the Duel. He then made a link to Kira. "Kira, go help Commander Zvonkovic out."
"All right." Kira said as the Strike tore off after the Mokushi. While Yzak was busy dueling Ricardo, Tsubaki was having a cannon battle with Dearka.
"Dammit!" Dearka yelled as he fired the missiles from the missile pod, which were dodged by the Chikara. "What's with this thing?"
"You're about to be toast, Buster!" Tsubaki yelled as she got out a beam saber and sliced the Buster's guns.
"Crap! I have to go back!" the Buster pilot yelled as he was limping back into the Gamow.
Greetings to you readers! This is ANN, the Anime News Network starring StrikeFreedom4YzakJoule. Here's our top stories:
- Council of Konohagakure accused of having ties to Neo-Nazism as evidence of beatings of its own jinchuuriki.
- The case of the Fire Nation vs the Avatar over the slanderous mockery depicting Ozai in the episode Nightmares and Daydreams.
The council of Konohagakure in the Naruto world has been accused of having ties to Neo-Nazi organizations as evidence of recent mistreatment of local resident jinchuuriki Naruto Uzumaki was revealed. Here's a villager's response:
"That demon should be killed for our purification of our master race!" a villager's response to the recent mistreatment. "Is that right, boys?"
"Hell Yeah!" the rest of the villagers' responded to the lead thug. "And for what that thing has made us go through!"
In the Avatar world, the Fire Nation has filed a lawsuit against Avatar Aang for making a blasphemous mockery of their beloved Fire Lord Ozai in the episode of Nightmares and Daydreams. Here's the Fire Princess has to say:
"The Avatar has slandered my father just because he's the protagonist of the story." Princess Azula's response to the crisis. "I do think it's amusing to see Zuzu in the Avatar's dream when he's trapped in a lake frozen beneath the ice."
Stayed tuned for more news. Now, back to Gundam Seed: Orichalcos.
The Duel was still battling the Bushido when the Mokushi joined in the fray. Yzak was starting to get a little agitated by the Mokushi's actions.
"Get out of my way!" Yzak yelled as he slashed at the Mokushi with his beam saber. Tomislav then responded with lunging at the Duel with the beam saber. The Bushido also tried to go in for the kill, but the Mokushi held out a hand.
"I'll take care of the Duel." Tomislav said as Ricardo flew aaway.
"Roger that." Ricardo replied.
When Kira joined the Mokushi in the duel with the Duel, Yzak grinned in a malicious way.
"Strike, I'll take you out!" Yzak sneered as he placed his beam saber away and fired his beam rifle at the incoming Strike. Kira dodged the shots and was firing back. Canard in the Kibou then also started to fire his beam submachine gun at the Duel. Yzak was so hard pressed that he had forgotten about the Mokushi slicing his machine's arms. "What the hell?"
"You lose, idiot." Tomislav said as he kicked the Duel aside. Just then, the Orichalcos had fired a retreat signal, telling them to go back to the ship. "Oh well, where are we going soon after this?"
The SRLU machines had went back to their ship as the Gamow had also sent a retreat signal for the mobile suits to return. Yzak was so mad after he got out of the Duel for some unknown reason. Dearka and Nicol saw his expression, and went after him as they walked back to their rooms. When they arrived at their room, the Duel pilot then banged his head on to the locker.
"Dammit!" Yzak yelled. "Not only do I get beaten, but I got my ass handed by a bunch of ragtag bastards!"
"Settle down, Yzak. Yelling won't do you any good." Dearka reminded him. "Besides, they're more powerful than those Earth Alliance idiots, and they have mobile suits."
"I know that Dearka, but why is it that those renegades attacked us? Are they on the Earth Forces' side?" the Duel pilot asked.
"The Earth Forces also had to deal with those guys." Nicol said as he sat down in his bed. "The pilot of the Strike had left the legged ship, so that means we're not going to pursue them anymore."
"Not quite, Nicol." Yzak said as they looked at him. "The legged ship still has those data with the G-weapons that we stole. They can make it to their HQ in Alaska with that kind of information."
"Yeah. Before the information was extracted by the Artemis garrison." Dearka replied. "I remember that those renegades had piloted Eurasian Federation built machines, and they're a lot more faster and superior than the machines that the Atlantic Federation had built."
"Wait." Nicol said as Yzak turned his head towards him. "In a few days, the Bloody Valentine anniversary will be coming up, right?"
"Yeah, and that would mean that Commander Le Creuset would come back with Athrun in tow. From what I heard, Lacus Clyne would be there." the Buster pilot said. "Should anything foul befall the parties that would accompany her, we're toast. Especially if she would fall into the hands of the Earth Forces."
"All right." Yzak said. "But we better tell Atrhun that the Strike has joined the Eurasians. He would be relieved that his buddy hasn't joined the Earth Forces, and that he is helping a bunch of renegades."
"OK."
Orichalcos, bridge
Markus Ostersund-Jorgensen was especially pleased that his fleet or ship was going on a top secret mission to St. Petersburg. Pretty soon, there would be plenty of battles to come. The battles in which that his pilots are bound to die in if they're not careful. He was monitoring the ship's progress when one of his crew picked up something from the radar.
"Detecting heatsource." Rashid Farzhad said as he typed in the information. "It's the Silverwind, sir."
"Thank you, Lieutenant Farzhad." Markus said as he grinned with satisfaction. "Ve vill leave it alone for the time being."
"Uh, suh. What if we run into Earth Forces ships on the way?" Degrassi asked.
"Then, ve vill blow them up to kingdom come." Markus answered. "By the vay, how's the fleet on Earth?"
"Going very well, suh." Degrassi replied as he typed in some codes. A minute later, there was a photo of a carrier that looked like a Vosgulov, only it was armed to the teeth with guns on the deck. "This frigate sub carrier was built in the secret dock in the Kingdom of Scandinavia."
"Ja. Have they got a name for that carrier?" Markus asked.
"Yes, suh. It's the Gustavus Adolphus class frigate sub carrier. But there are super carriers that are built for us, suh. Like this." Degrassi said as he showed the crew of the Orichalcos another carrier. "This one's a stealth super carrier, and it's named the Carl Gustaf Wrangel."
"Great. I guess that the carriers and ships that are under our command vould be named under Scandinavian leaders. But not an idiot like Vidkun Quisling." the Nordic man replied in disgust. "Are there any carriers that are built for us, vones that are also stelath based?"
"Yes, Admiral. There is a carrier called the Johan August Sandels class stealth carrier. Other than that, the frigates and destroyers that support our cause will be named after Danish, Norweigan and Finnish military leaders." Degrassi replied.
"Das is gut!" Markus said as the Orichalcos sailed on without any interruption. "Ve'll reach Earth in a few days, und ve'll go to St. Petersburg. Then, ve'll go to a secret base in Stockholm. There may be a battle that we should take part in North Africa und the Suez."
"Yes, sir." Degrassi replied back. "Aren't we going to Orb later in the conflict?"
"That vould be Admiral Tukhachevsky's doing und Admiral Romanov. However, Romanov has to go to Moscow to resume his place as a poltical leader." he replied as he went out of the bridge. "You're in charge."
"Yes, suh." Degrassi replied back.
Meanwhile in the pilots' rooms, Tomislav was reading a latest news article sent electronically. He was growing worried about the article.
WESTERN EURASIA IN REVOLT AFTER RECENT REPRISALS
The factions within Western Eurasia were in a revolt after another reprisal occured in the rebel city of Budapest in which 100 Eurasians were shot to death in response to the death of two Earth Alliance soldiers. The locals were protesting about the hardships that they endured right now, and were screaming their lungs out to oust the pro-EA president, Boris Kavanovsky.
ORB UNION DIVIDED OVER ISSUES OF THE WAR
The Orb Union was deeply divided by the current events that are plaguing the world affairs right now. Once again, Lord Uzumi Nara Attha vowed that his nation would stay out of the conflict. However, recent Seiranist activities have been detected in the nation's capital Onogoro City as a result of the Eurasians that were fleeing their homelands as a result of the reprisals that occured in Western Eurasia. Unato Ema Seiran denied any allegations to the recent activities that would have overthrown Lord Uzumi. However, the Sahakus have been rumored to have joined the Red Nova faction that were fighting Blue Cosmos. This rumor was unconfirmed somehow.
"What the hell is wrong with the world?" Tomislav said angrily as he lay in his bed. As soon as he started to fall asleep, Kira had entered the room with a mechanical bird in tow. He looked up, and beckoned for him to sit down. "What's up, Kira?"
"Nothing much, sir." Kira replied. "It's just that I don't know what am I gonna do after this war is over."
"Believe me, Kira. As long as those idiots like Blue Cosmos have control of the Earth Alliance, the war would never be over." Tomislav replied. "The world would cycle in an unending conflict." He then placed the electronic newspaper away and fell asleep. Kira then fell asleep in his bed notlong after Tomislav did fall asleep.
When Kira and Tomislav woke up, they were rudely interrupted by a buzzing sound that was emitting the ship. They ran to the hangar to their mobile suits before the rest of the squad arrived. Tsubaki then went up to Tomislav, and reported the recent activity.
"Commander, the Silverwind has gotten lost." Tsubaki said as the Croat went to the Mokushi. "Reports confirmed that an Earth Alliance fleet has ambushed the guards that were protecting the Silverwind."
"All right. Thank you for the information, Tsubaki. Now, I just want the Strike to launch along with my machine for this mission." Tomislav replied back. "You guys will launch if I have to have reinforcements."
"Yes, sir!" the rest of the squad responded as the Strike and the Mokushi were placed in the catapult.
"Kira Yamato, Strike. Taking off!"
"Tomislav Zvonkovic, Mokushi. Launching!"
The two machines had searched for the Silverwind, but what they had found was nothing more than a pod from the remains of the shuttle. The Strike had retrieved the pod, and went back to the ship with Tomislav going along.
Plz review for responses.
Also, I was planning on another Demons and Coordinators-based story. except that will be a Naruto/Avatar: The Last Airbender crossover. My OCs will be there, but the major difference is that I will use Suki the Kyoshi Warrior more in this story and it will be in Yuki no Kuni. Alternate Narutoverse where the Kazahanas will survive and upgrade their military, so it will look like a modern superpower.
