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 as they belong to Bandai and Sunrise. If I did, they wouldn't be sucking balls, and maybe look like this.
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 8: A Moment's Respite
Nazca-class Battlecruiser Vesalius II, March 27th, C.E. 77
"So tell me, what happened?"
"Well," Jordan replied, " it's a long story. Basically put, I saw the last piece of wreckage and Shinn burning in the atmosphere. I couldn't decide, so I quickly destroyed the meteor and saved him almost at the last second. We hung around until you guys came here. Now it's my turn to ask questions. Did we destroy all the wreckage, and prevent another war?"
"As good as that sounds," Mike responded, "we actually failed. Fragments of the wreckage hit the world. Countries in all of the continents are suffering major damage, with devastated homes and craters the size of Toronto. I estimate thousands, if not millions, or even billions of lives are lost, not to mention trillions of US dollars of damage. As for the war... I'm not sure what will happen, but hopefully, the leaders of the world will learn of their mistakes and not start one by blaming Coordinators for this attack."
"Hey, Captain! Where are we, and where will we go next?" Jordan asked.
Reinhardt gave him a look before responding in a sarcastic tone. "We don't know whrere we are, and for the record, Capentaria is the only base we have, dumbass!"
"Sheesh," Jordan replied, "I was only asking. There's no need to be an ass about it."
"What did you say?"
" Um, I said, I was only asking, there's no need to be an ass about it?" Jordan sheepishly asked.
"Why you little-"
Oh crap, Jordan thought, This is going to turn into one hell of a Simpsons fest, as Reinhardt attempted to strangle him in the way Homer Simpson was strangling his son Bart.
"Guys, stop fighting," Luna shouted as Mike and Claire tried to break the two apart.
However, the two continued the fight until they were exhausted. When the fight ended, both Jordan and Reinhardt were giving death glares at each other, with everyone else sighing in defeat.
Azrael Estate (formerly Djibril Manor), Vermont, Atlantic Federation
"Mr. President," Azrael said kindly, "isn't it time we find the ones responsible and punish them, once and for all? During the last few wars, the result was that they mostly got off scot-free."
"But," the president replied, "aren't we repeating the same mistakes as our ancestors?"
"This time we'll learn from our mistakes. I will not stop until all of humanity is cleansed from the virus that is the Coordinator."
"But-"
"If you refuse to cooperate, I can withdraw your funding and virtually make your country, the United States, bankrupt. Remember that you are an honourary member of LOGOS."
Azrael had a point. Early into the 21st century, the powerful American economy diminsished and stayed that way until in the Cosmic Era, where the demand for science and space caused interest. This demand helped the economy boom. Blue Cosmos and LOGOs also contrubuted a significant amount of funds.
"Fine. You win. However, I still think this is a bad idea."
Nazca-class battlecruiser Vesalius II, en route to Carpentaria base
Meanwhile, Jordan's phone rang.
"Hello?"
"This is the Chairman. I wonder, how did the operation turn out?"
"Well," Jordan replied, "not too good. I regret to inform you that we have failed. I personally apologize for this failure and will await any punishment that you will give me."
" I called to ask how the operation went, not to punish you. Also, I knew that the possibility of a fourth war was possible. So, you need not to apologize or expect any sort of punishment. I see that you are on the Earth's surface at the moment, heading to Carpentaria Base."
"Yeah."
"I presume that you are now wanting to use my new little present, the Fahrenheit, as your ship is now damaged enough to do so."
"Of course."
"It'll be at Carpentaria. Goodbye."
As the call ended, Jordan walked in the halls, pondering on what to do next.
Azrael Estate , Vermont, Atlantic Federation
A mustachioed man dressed in a tuxedo walked into Azrael's office.
"Sir, you have a visitor."
"Let him in," Azrael commanded.
A young man with bright crimson/orange hair, with a scar and wearing a suit walked through the doors and into the lavishly styled room.
"Good day, Mr. Azrael. I am Dimitri Makarov, leader of New Eternity. I would like to discuss business with you," Makarov announced as he sat down.
" Are you responsible for the Requiem wreckage? If so, I have two following questions: First, do you intend to harm the Earth Alliance with your terrorist acts? Second, what proposition do you offer to me and the Earth Alliance?"
"Simple, Mr. Azrael," Makarov replied, " First, we were responsible. Second, I do not wish to harm you, but to help you. Third, I propose that we join forces to eliminate the scourge of mankind, the cancer that is the Coordinator, from existence, forever."
" However," Azrael countered, " how can I be sure to trust you, and that you won't betray us?"
"Trust is a hard thing. However, the rewards outweigh the risks."
"The first thing to do, as an alliance, is to declare war. The rest will follow with our actions that will allow us to reach our goal. I do, have one question for you. How will I be able to contact you?"
" I am also the ZAFT ace Vladimir Petrov," replied the bright crimson haired man. "I will relay information to you using my laptop and cell phone. Contact me using this number."
"Thank you," Azrael replied. " It has been a pleasure meeting and doing business with you. I hope we can see each other again. Until next time."
The two men rose from their seats and shook hands.
PLANT Colony Aprilius One
Elliott Mason sat in his office. The current Chairman was staring up the ceiling thinking about what to do next. He was also thinking about how he came to this point, beginning with an election campaign a few years ago...
Flashback: C.E. 76
The crowd was cheering as they waited for Lacus Clyne and her rival, Elliott Mason. The people of the PLANTs were dissatisfied with Lacus's performance as Chairwoman as her pacifist ideals greatly and negatively affected the PLANTs. Though she was a good peacemaker and a role model, she focused on her ideals more than running a country. Worse still, she also had to struggle with her romantic relationship with Kira Yamato, her boyfriend, who was a legendary MS pilot, not to mention a ZAFT Commander.
"Today, I am happy to announce that I am running for Chairman in a campaign against Lacus Clyne. I respect her ideals in resolving conflicts and similar actions, but I personally think that she is unqualified on the job as she focuses on them more than dealing with our country's issues. No offense, Lacus Clyne," Elliott announced in his speech.
" One of the reasons why you should elect me, is because I actually focus on the issues that our country face. Sure, a pacifist government may inspire humanity to go towards peace, but I see "the big picture". That is why you should vote for me, as I get the job done right."
The crowd was cheering even louder as both politicians left the stage. Lacus was shocked on the inside from the truth that Elliott pointed out, but nevertheless kept a positive attitude, even when she saw her opponment nearby.
"Elliott, I just want to say, no matter what happens, may the best politician win," Lacus said, reaching her arm in an offer to shake Elliott's hand.
"Why, thank you," Elliott replied, shaking her hand. "May the same go for you too, Lacus. This is what makes me respect you."
After the last ballot was counted, Elliott won by only one vote, despite the massive support from the people of the PLANTs.
However, a few months later, Lacus resigned from political action to focus on her peacemaking actions. Kira did, too, as he still suspected the new chairman would end up like Chairman Zala or Chairman Durandal, always wanting to take humanity to the extremes, either destroying it, or saving it.
Present time: C.E. 77
Good times, Elliott, good times indeed, Elliott thought. However, his mind turned to face the impending problem of another Bloody Valentine War. The first was caused by the Naturals and the Earth Alliance, the second was caused by vengeance seeking Coordinator extremists, the third was caused by a terrorist cell in custom MS known as Librarian Works, the fourth was caused by New Eternity in a fashion similar to the second war. This was going to be a challenge...
Carpentaria Base
After the Vesalius II docked, Reinhardt Schneider left the ship, and moved to the hangars, where he was greeted by technicians.
"Greetings," one of the technicians said. "I presume you're Reinhardt Schneider, captain of the Vesalius II?"
"Of course."
"Then come this way, please," the technician replied.
The technician and Reinhardt walked over to a pitch-black section of the hangar, where the lights dramatically turned on to reveal a white battleship.
"Oh my God, this thing is beautiful," Reinhardt said in shock and awe of the new battleship.
The Fahrenheit was beautiful indeed. The main section, including the bridge, looked like the Nahel Argama, but the front of the ship was reminescent of the Minerva. The ship had retractable wings and plenty of mobile suit catapults. It also had plenty of armour and weaponry. The rear section also had large fins. In general, this ship could make any captain shit their pants in spite of the sheer "awesomeness."
"This battleship alone has enough firepower to take down two Girty-Lue class battleships, and its protection is on par with the Minerva," another technician explained.
"I do have one question," Reinhardt asked. "Is it able to take down Archangel class battleships?"
"That, I don't know," the 2nd technician replied. "We'll just have to see in battle."
Wait till everyone sees this, Reinhardt thought.
Meanwhile, Jordan was walking into the base when his phone rang again.
"Yo."
"Jordan, this is the Chairman. Seeing that you're exhausted from the big battle, I am authorizing you in advance, a day of shore leave. Also, though you failed the mission, I believe that you gave your best effort in the attempt to destroy the wreckage, and so I send you my thanks."
"This is quite interesting, as you're probably the first politician that I have ever known that gives me some consolation. Usually, politicians aren't like that. However, you're different. Shall we continue this conversation?"
"Yes," Elliott continued. "I have one request for you alone: once your day of shore leave is finished, I want you to come to the PLANTs to speak to me in private."
Azrael Estate , Vermont, Atlantic Federation
Bruno Azrael sat in his office and stared at the wall. He was actually remembering the death of his cousin Muruta 6 years ago. At the time, Muruta was the leader of the Blue Cosmos, and he was on the Archangel-class cruiser Dominion. His death came at the hands of the crew of the Dominion's sister ship, the Archangel.
You will not be forgotten, my dear cousin Muruta, Azrael thought. While I begin my campaign against the Coordinators, the Archangel will be my top priority. It shall pay for its sins, and you shall be avenged.
Azrael later called the US president using his cell phone.
"Hello?"
"This is Bruno Azrael. The time has begun to exterminate the Coordinators."
"How are we going to do it?"
"We will use MS teams, and... the Peacemaker force."
The Blue Cosmos leader looked to his window and smiled. The time had indeed begun.
To be continued...
This chapter contains, and will be a filler. You also see why Elliott Mason, not Lacus Clyne, is the ZAFT's Chairperson. There's some humour and the new battleship, Fahrenheit, makes its first appearance. Will Bruno Azrael succeed, unlike his ancestors, in destroying the Coordinators? Also, a deal has been made between Azrael and Makarov. What will happen next?
