Mobile Suit Gundam Seed: Revelation
Note: This fanfic is set after the events of Gundam Seed Destiny and Gundam Seed vs. Astray. I do not own the Gundam Seed/Destiny universe, though I dream to turn this into an anime in place of the highly anticipated (and delayed) SEED movie, with I as its producer, director, writer and actor of the protagonist. I also own characters such as Jordan Anderson, Michael Dean, Claire Radcliffe, Andrew McNeill etc. and Gundams (Freedom Noir, Zephyros, Elite, Azure Duel, Proto, Strike Buster Verde etc.) In general, I own this fanfiction, and nothing else.
I will also be providing Gundam specs, and summaries of character development and possible previews of new chapters, as well as posting a new chapter whenever I have the available time.
I have seen that plenty of you visit my story, which is good. However, none of you ever review my story. I want you to actually review to give me motivation and suggest corrections to my mistakes. After you finish reading this chapter, please review.
Phase 7: Broken Wounds, Painful Memories
As the New Eternity MS gathered around the Januarius and December wreckage, intending to drop it to the Earth just like 4 years ago, they listened to a speech that their leader, Dimitri Makarov, gave out.
"Today, all of humanity will now know the true might of New Eternity," Makarov announced. "It will be the start of our new world order."
The MS pilots cheered after they heard the speech and the wreckage began to drop towards Earth.
Nazca-class battlecruiser Vesalius II, March 27th C.E. 77
Meanwhile, Jordan was having a rough time after the battle with Phantom Pain. The battle had exhausted them and slightly damaged their machines. He was walking along the halls, when he got a call from the Chairman of ZAFT.
"Jordan, it's time. Time to prevent a disaster and another war from emerging into existence."
Jordan immediately hung up and went to the bridge, where the captain, Reinhardt Scheneider was.
"Captain, New Eternity is making their move by dropping wreckage onto the Earth."
"So it seems. I guess it can't be helped then. But you do realized that we can't take down a terrorist faction with just a team of five, not to mention blow up the wreckage before it hits Earth, correct?"
" We won't do this alone. I'll have Yzak and Dearka back us up with a few other ships, with meteor breakers."
"Well, good luck."
2 hours later...
Jordan resumed walking in the halls, pondering his thoughts when he noticed Shinn walking alone with a seemingly depressed look on his face.
Man, is this kid always this depressed? I'd better go talk to him, he thought.
"Hey Shinn, how's it going? Anything wrong?"
"I'm fine; nothing's wrong," came the reply.
"Ya sure? Don't feel like nothin's wrong."
"I said I'm fine, now leave me alone!"
As Shinn stomped past him, Jordan was in shock. I wonder what the fuck is wrong with this kid.
A few moments later, everybody noticed a large object falling towards Earth. Pretty soon, the five Gundams launched with the damaged Vesalius II closely following them. Soon, the five Gundams immediately faced huge amounts of resistance from large groups of terrorist MS.
"Split up," Jordan said. The group split up and flew around the wreckage, taking on squads of MS.
Jordan was having the time of his life. After splitting up, he shot down five ZAKUs with missiles and Gatling guns. Soon, GINNs and GOUFs charged at him with swords, machine guns,and heat rods, with plenty of ZAKUs providing supporting fire with laser cannons.
Shit, I can't use Mirage Colloid as there are too many of them. In that case, I'll have to use my full arsenal.
Jordan activated the Xiphias railguns and Callidus chest cannon and fired at the enemy MS. The blast destroyed the majority of the group, but there were still large groups of MS to take their place. To that end, he opened up the Freedom Noir's wings and activated DRAGooN remote laser cannons, which took care of every single enemy by flying in every single direction. Seeing that this sector was clear of enemies, he drew out his Trikeros offensive shield and flew to another sector of the wreckage.
Meanwhile, Mike and Claire fought side by side, destroying groups of MS with beam shots and sabers, throught the use of the Zephyros and the Elite. Mike was certainly enjoying this fight, as it was a challenge that the two of them can take. But to further enjoy this, Mike decided to separate from Claire to hunt down more terrorists.
"Hey Claire! Mind if I hunt down some more terrorists on my own?"
"Sure, but keep this in mind: always be careful, even when you know what you're doing. Also, don't be too arrogant, as it can lead to disastrous results," Claire replied as she shot down another GOUF.
"I assure you, I am capable of accomplishing this task. Also, your imitation on the way I present my ideas and thoughts is all but pathetic," Mike countered.
The Zephyros took off at a high speed to another sector of the wreckage. While he was flying, a squadron of GINNs, GOUFs, and ZAKUs aimed their rifles and fired at him. Of course, some of the squadron attempted to melee Mike using swords, while others attempted to electrocute him using heat rods. As the MS closest to him crazily swung its sword, Mike parried and used him as a MS shield for a brief period of time against the rifle attacks as that MS exploded. He then dodged the rifle blasts at full speed, drawing out beam sabers to slice down any melee combat MS that stood in his way. He then rushed at the gun toting MS and hacked them all to pieces.
"Too easy," Mike replied as he shot down anotehr ZAKU behind him. However, though the pilots were unskilled, they were in overwhelming numbers. As Mike took care of them, a GINN Long Range Reconaissance Type took aim and fired its sniper rifle. The shot hit and damaged the backpack. In response, Mike shot down the sniper before he could take a second shot.
This isn't good. With my backpack damaged, I can't fly at full speed or else I'll explode... these crazy motherfuckers are going to die for this, Mike thought.
Archangel-class battlecruier Uprising
The pilots were still recovering from their losses when Victor Dziekansky approached them. "Gentlemen, I see that you really hate those guys who kicked your ass. Well, I am offering you both a proposal and an opportunity for revenge. All you have to do is to simply attack your enemies and assist the terrorists in dropping the wreckage to Earth."
"I have one question though," Jason asked. "Why must we drop this thing to Earth?"
"Because, we can blame the Coordinators for this attack... and well, you know the rest."
"An excellent and clever strategy," Andrew McNeill replied. "Let's do this!"
Meanwhile, Shinn and Luna flew together, taking down any MS with beam rifles and sabers. However, a beam shot forced them to separate as the Proto fired several beam barrages from its beam rifle.
"This is for our previous battle, Wings of Light! You will go down today!"
The Proto, at the moment was equipped with the Raven Striker, a mixture of gunbarrels, DRAGooNs, and weapon pods. Andrew activated these weapons, and they flew around Shinn, who dodged their laser and missile attacks. In response, Shinn fired his beam rifle, destroying a gunbarrel, DRAGooN, and a weapon pod in consecutive shots. However, Andrew drew out his beam saber and charged at Shinn. His response was that he drew his anti-ship sword and parried Andrew's saber attack.
Suddenly, several DRAGooNs and gunbarrels surrounded, swarmed and fired in every direction towards Shinn, who was fast, leaving a trail of afterimages, as he dodged every single shot from the remote weapons. But, as he was dodging these weapons, Andrew rushed forward and swung his beam saber at Shinn, who merely had time to narrowly dodge the attack...
Meanwhile, Jordan sliced off the arms of the Strike Forbidden, as an enraged Jason Mccain cursed and fired his plasma cannon and railguns at the Freedom Noir, which dodged these attacks. The shot destroyed several MS and large sections of the wreckage. Suddenly, bazooka shells and laser blasts forced him to take cover in another section of the wreckage. These attacks came from Danny Ryerson's Calamity Zero, which was assisting the Strike Forbidden in defeating Jordan, who unleashed all his weapons at the Calamity. However, their battle became a firepower against firepower match, which quickly led to nowhere.
"Alright then, it's time we duel with melee weapons!"
The Freedom Noir and the Calamity Zero both drew their beam sabers, temporarily discarded their ranged hand weapons and charged at each other, resulting in a deadlock of beam sabers that produced colourful sparks.
"So, Black Phantom, this battle is getting nowhere," Danny muttered. "Then allow me to break this stalemate!"
The Calamity broke the deadlock by kicking away the Freedom Noir, and then fired its "Scylla" chest cannon. Jordan did the same with his "Callidus" chest cannon, in which both blasts produced the result of a smokescreen.
"Where are you, Black Phantom? You must be using the same dirty, invisible tricks again. Come here and fight like a man, instead of a pussy!"Danny taunted.
Suddenly, the Freedom Noir reappeared, sliced off the Calamity's arms, and kicked the Gundam, sending it crashing towards the surface of the wreckage.
"Fuck," Danny muttered as he recoiled from the kick and the impact of the Calamity's crash on the wreckage.
"This fight isn't over, you fucking cheater!"
"Sorry, but I'd better be going. I have more important things to do than to fight against you," Jordan replied.
And in a flash, the Freedom Noir flew off to another sector of the wreckage.
While chaos was happening, Mike was having a hard time dealing with the Avenger Gundam. Its pilot, Darren Miller, was cackling maniacally as the Avenger swung its mace and fired its machine guns at the Zephyros.
"Well, this is fun! In fact, I've never felt more alive!'
Shit, Mike thought. With my full speed, this fight would be much easier. Oh well, I will just have to improvise at the moment.
As the Avenger swung its mighty mace, Mike activated the shield blades and cut the cable, rendering the mace useless. Also, beam shots forced the Avenger back as the Azure Duel and the Strike Buster Verde arrived, along with ZAFT MS, some with meteor breakers, and ZAFT battleships.
"I am relieved to see you here, Commander Joule. I send you our thanks for bringing the support we needed."
"Don't mention it," Yzak replied. "It's part of my job."
While Mike was glad to see Yzak and Dearka, Darren's reaction was atually the opposite.
"Impossible! More Gundams!" Darren was in shock when he saw the Duel and the Buster fire at him.
"These odds are a little too much for me. We'll fight another day."
Soon, the Avenger Gundam flew off in high speed.
The battle intensified with the arrival of ZAFT MS. What was originally a large skirmish turned to be a chaotic hell of a battlefield, with ZAFT MS engaging terrorists. However, whenever a ZAFT MS tried to plant a meteor breaker, their attempts would be sabotaged by the terrorists. Yzak and Dearka saw this and were frustrated.
"I bring this announcement to all ZAFT forces. Any ZAFT MS carrying a meteor breaker is to plant one on the surface in five-man teams. I will provide the necessary support."
"Hey Yzak," Dearka asked, " How come you don't include me in your speeches, let alone conversations?"
The tide was turning in ZAFT's favour. Dimitri was frustrated at the fact that the wreckage was being separated. Worse still, his forces were diminishing and he could see the Black Phantom approaching him.
"Well, Black Phantom, we finally meet. I suppose you are here to kill me and succeed in destroying the wreckage, thus compromising our operation, are you not?"
"I would like to know, what are your motivations for this operation? I can tell it is not a religious war, nor is it radicalized," Jordan countered.
"Well then, we'll ask questions later. I'd like you to meet my personal guard. Gentlemen, go get him!"
20 GINN High Maneuverability Type II MS drew out their katanas and charged at Jordan. However, the majority of them were obliterated by the Freedom Noir's devastating firepower, with the remainder being hacked to pieces by getting slashed using Jordan's beam saber.
"How about we duel, mano e mano?"
Dimitri drew out his katana, and his black and gold painted GINN charged at Jordan, who responded with a beam saber parry. The two furiously exchanged sword strikes, with few blows...
Elsewhere, Shinn grunted as he parried another beam saber attack by the Proto Gundam. Damn, he thought. This guy's persistent. Suddenly, beam shots forced Andrew away as Luna fired her beam rifle in an attempt to aid Shinn.
"Shinn! Are you alright?"
"Yes, Luna, I'm fine- look out!"
The Proto drew and swung its plasma sword at the Impulse, creating a gash at its chest, and later, kicking her to the surface of the wreckage. Shinn remembered painful memories he suffered from the second war, and the possibility of Luna dying would only bring more of that pain. In fact, it served as a motivation for what he would do next.
A crimson seed fell before his eyes and shattered; his eyes dulled into crimson with a tiny black pupil, and everything went clear.
Just as Andrew was about to perform the finishing blow, the sword was blocked by Shinn's anti-ship sword. Andrew fought desperately, trying to keep himself alive, when his foe suddenly posessed a beserker rage... and improved piloting skills. What the fuck happened to this man, Andrew thought. Did he snap or something? Suddenly, Andrew felt a massive vibration as the Destiny kicked the Porto, which crash-landed against the wreckage. Next, Shinn charged at full speed, intending to perform a powerful finishing stab, which was blocked by Andrew holding the shield to protect himself. The shield however, began to crack as the metal edge of the sword deeply drove into the heavily reinforced shield. Seeing that he wasn't able to hold on much longer, Andrew decided to simply flee.
God, this guy's crazy, Andrew thought . Next time, Wings of Light.
The MS were not the only ones participating in this battle. Reinhardt Schneider, captain of the Vesalius II, and Victor Dziekansky, captain of the Uprising, were duelling each other, battleship to battleship. However, while the Uprising fired its beam cannons and its missiles, the Vesalius II dodged them, and as a consequence, the attacks separated large pieces of wreckage. This frustrated Dziekansky, as his efforts to crush the ZAFT battleship had failed.
Damnit... I can't hit him, and the wreckage is being separated, Dziekansky thought. Wait, I've a brilliant idea. I can use my foe's tactics against him to destroy him! He opened the channel to contact the Vesalius II.
" Hello. I am Victor Dziekansky, captain of the Archangel-class Uprising. Though I apologize for the late introduction, I must say that your skills are impressive. However, I challenge you to chase me through the wreckage and try to duel with me and my ship. Good luck, ladies and gentlemen."
The Uprising took off and headed to the wreckage, with the Vesalius II in pursuit.
Dimitri and Jordan were in heated combat as they clashed blade against blade. While Dimitri's GINN was outdated, Dimitri was highly skilled.
"I can see you are still defiant and will fight to the end, though the odds are against you," Jordan said. "I pity you, for the fact that you are stubborn."
"While all of that is correct, Black Phantom," Dimitri replied, " the fight is not over yet, and there are still large sections of the wreckage which are still intact. Also, we are entering the Earth's atmosphere do you know what wreckage this is? In case you have seen it for the first time, or have forgotten this, this wreckage is the Januarius and December wreckage from 2 years ago during the Requiem incident!"
Jordan was in shock. Reid and the Chairman had mentioned it before, but he hadn't paid much attention to the details, only to the big picture. Painful memories suddenly sprang up as he remembered the giant superlaser destroying his family, among the lives of many civilians.
"You... how dare you use this graveyard as a tool for starting a war! Why are you doing this?"
"I presume you must have lost your loved ones in the incident,from the rising tone of your voice and your words," Dimitri replied. "I am simply doing this as part of my plan for my new world order. You see, mankind, in its entire existence, has suffered greatly due to corruption. My new world order should change this, so that mankind can be guided properly to a better future. Another reason for this is that I love causing chaos and destruction, as long as it fits into my goal."
"This peace and future is nothing but a lie ! You are nothing but a liar, hypocrite, and a sadistic fucker that wants to control the world, and cause pain in every single human being! For this, you deserve to die 1,000,000 deaths and to burn in the fires of hell!" [1]
Dimitri and Jordan once again battled using swords, blade clashing against blade. This time, Dimitri used his free hand to punch into the Freedom Noir's cockpit. Jordan recoiled from the force, and as he was trying to draw a beam saber, Dimitri kicked him, and he crashed onto the surface of the wreckage.
This is the end, Jordan thought. But before Dimitri could attempt to stab Jordan, Shinn, still in SEED mode, attacked him. Dimitri was fighting desperately, when he was facing against a berserker opponent. However, he did manage to cut off the Destiny's right leg and left arm. Seeing that fighting him would lead to his death, he decided to escape using the wreckage to block his pursuer's path. By the time he was hidden clear of Shinn, Jordan reappeared and cut off the left arm, damaged the legs and head, and made a small gash in the GINN's chest. He later kicked Dimitri towards Earth.
"New Eternity will succeed! We are unstoppable and shall return!"
By this time, Dimitri was out of sight, probably burning up in the atmosphere.
The Vesalius II fired its few remaining cannons at the Uprising, who took cover in the wreckage. Reinhardt quickly realized that his enemy was using the same tactics as him, taking cover on the enemy and using a sneak attack. And he was right. The Uprising appeared from the wreckage and fired its "Valiant" cannons at the Vesalius II.
"Jensen, evade to starboard," Reinhardt commanded. The Vesalius II dodged to the right and fired its cannons at the Uprising, which destroyed some of its cannons and narrowly missed its bridge. However, around the same time, Dziekansky ordered a second attack, which destroyed the Vesalius II's cannons. Seeing that the Uprising was close to burning up in the atmosphere, Dziekansky had no choice but to withdraw.
"Launch the signal flares," Dziekansky ordered. "We shall withdraw."
The 4 Phantom Pain pilots returned to the Uprising, as the ship took off.
Although the tide was turning into ZAFT's favour, Dimitri was correct in the fact that there were still large sections of the wreckage that needed to be separated. All but one meteor breaker detonated on the wreckage, and that last one was planted, but before it could detonate, the ZAFT MS who planted it was killed by the terrorists. To make matters worse, they were burning up in the Earth's atmosphere.
"Everybody, fire! We can't let that wreckage hit Earth," Yzak ordered.
Immediately, all the ZAFT MS and all the ZAFT battleships fired their weapons at the wreckage. It began to separate, but it still wasn't enough. The wreckage was now too far away from the ZAFT contingent, unless someone was stupid, crazy, or brave enough to detonate the last meteor breaker...
Meanwhile, Jordan was burning up in the atmosphere, using his shield to protect himself while safely entering the Earth's atmosphere, when he noticed a large piece of wreckage falling to earth with a undetonated meteor breaker attached to it. He also noticed Shinn in his Destiny Gundam, burning up in the atmosphere. Here, Jordan had to make a decision. Save his team member, or the population of Earth?
Crap, Jordan thought. I have to choose between Shinn or Earth to save. I guess I'm just going to do each task very quickly.
He set off for the meteor. Once he was there, he randomly, and desperately pressed numbers to activate the meteor breaker's detonation code. Finally, he got the code and set the timer to three seconds. Once the meteor breaker exploded, the wreckage separated, but it was still large enough to wreak havoc. So, Jordan used all his firepower to separate the wreckage. It separated into smaller, more manageable fragments.
While Jordan was preventing more destruction to the world, his ZAFT team members were wondering where the hell he was.
"Where's Jordan?" Mike asked.
"He's missing, along with Shinn. I presume they're dead," Yzak replied.
What a noble sacrifice you have provided us, Reinhardt thought as everybody took their loss with a heavy heart.
"It's time we move on," Reinhardt spoke. "It's time we go to Earth, while we remember these noble men in our hearts."
Soon, the ZAFT contingent flew towards Earth.
Elsewhere, the Destiny Gundam was burning up in the atmosphere. So this is how it ends, with me dying. This must be life's way of ending my suffering, Shinn thought as the Destiny kept falling towards Earth. If this is what must happen, so be it. He closed his eyes hoping for the worst to happen. However, it was not to be as the Freedom Noir offered a hand to him.
"Hey, Shinn! Need a hand?"
"Commander? You would actually save me?"
"Of course! I won't let any member of my team get hurt, and that includes you! Now take my hand if you want to live!"
The Destiny reached its arm and grabbed the Freedom Noir's hand, as the two Gundams made it out of the atmosphere alive and slowly descended, before coming to a stop and hovering above water.
"Glad we're alive, right Shinn?"
"Yeah," Shinn responded in a low and gloomy tone.
Soon, the ZAFT forces descended to Earth as well. When they saw the two missing team members, their surprise was overwhelming, along with their relief and concern.
Meanwhile, in a dark mansion, a blonde man with a beard was watching the world's events through his television. He dialed a number on his cell phone.
"Hello? This is the President of the United States of America speaking. Who is this?"
"The time has come... to use this opportunity for revenge and to realize our goals of the elimination of Coordinators. Surely, you understand this, Mr. President?"
"Should we start another war, Bruno? What if we fail like the last two times?"
Bruno Azrael, cousin of Blue Cosmos leader Muruta Azrael and current Blue Cosmos/LOGOS leader looked out the window. "Don't worry, Mr. President, everything is going according to plan."
To be continued...
This chapter is longer than my previous one, and is based off on GSD's episode, "Scars That Won't Heal." The villain this time round is Bruno Azrael, and it is likely that there would be another war. The question is, what chaos approaches our heroes and will this fic be just like GSD? All will be answered. Enjoy!
