Chapter 12 – Weeding out the Traitors
Disclaimer: As I've said before I do not own GS/GSD and some characters in this Fic belong to Gundam Seed Dark Destiny as I've said before (I hate disclaimers), in this story other than Krane and a few members of the Dark Celestials including their Mobile Suite designs nothing belongs to me. There will be other things in this and future chapters that also don't belong to me, quotes, can one guess what book it's from.
24th September, 9:00am; Aprilius One: VIP Area, Mansion
"What is the meaning of this!?" yelled Commander Dunaught as he backed away from the Dark Celestial Soldiers and Secret Service Men as they approached him, his guard were quick to learn their lesson and join Krane's side or leave.
"What is going on is obvious, you are an undercover member of Blue Cosmos and therefore a Traitor to all Coordinators, your life has no meaning but to betray your own kind!" announced Krane with a scowl as he pointed his Beretta at the Commander's head while the Dark Celestials recently developed Cyber Newtype Bodyguards aimed their XM8 rifles at the fallen Commander "therefore, your life is expendable in the highest meaning of the word, take him away!!"
"You know Patrick will need to be informed" muttered Antony as he followed Krane towards the mansion doors.
"Chairman Zala has already been informed, in fact, Chairman Zala has given authorization for me to do as I deem fit" answered Krane with a scowl as he entered the mansion "interesting place, I think this place would do nicely, I will speak to Patrick about cleaning it out of all the Commander's junk and then I'll take the place for myself, that commander meanwhile will be making a disappearance!"
"Hmm, I'll get to work on moving you in, haven't you got someone to go see!?" asked Antony and Krane nodded with a fake salute before heading over to the garage and whistling.
"It seems that Commander and I have a Black Porsche Fetish, there are three different shape of said vehicle in this garage, out of all the Commander's crap I claim these cars for myself!" announced Krane with a laugh as he headed over to a wall where a line of keys were hanging up "Antony, make sure that these Porsches remain!"
"Alright, just get going already!" shouted Antony and Krane smirked as he opened the door of the nearest Porsche as well as the Garage Door and sped out of the household.
12:00pm; Aprilius One: Household Area, Gilbert Durandal's House
"Hey, Gil, is it too late for me to bother you?" questioned Krane as he opened the door to the doctor's house and grinned at the smiling Doctor who came into the entrance hall moments later.
"Ah, Krane, I have been expecting you" smiled Gilbert as he led Krane through the house "I heard that you have been attempting to adopt a child, you are exactly like your father, always wanting a child at a young age"
"Do you have any specific child on you at present?" asked Krane as he followed Gilbert into the living room with a glance.
"Rey is at school however I did recently pick up a child living on the street, his mother died at Juniusand he was abandoned by his father who went to seek revenge and died at Endymion, he has no parents and he could use a family, I can arrange for him to become a genetic child of yours through genetic engineering if you do wish" announced Gilbert and Krane nodded with a smile.
"Is he here now?" asked Krane as he looked about and Gilbert smiled with a nod before heading off.
"Hi…" muttered a voice and Krane's head turned to find a young man with long platinum blond hair and silver eyes, the young man expected a bad reaction from Krane but Krane simply smiled.
"And you are?" asked Krane with a small glint of compassion in his eyes as he looked on the younger.
"Vega Voldolt though I really should forget about it, it isn't like my father did anything for me, he left me on the street at ten years old" muttered Vega and Krane smiled sadly as he walked over and wrapped his arms around the thirteen year old causing the younger to jump.
"I can give you a house and a family, though it is small at this moment in time, I promise that it will grow in time" smiled Krane as he nuzzled the silverette "well, what will it be, will you accept me as your new father?"
"Yes, I really could use one, thank you" smiled Vega before he collapsed against Krane who picked him up easily.
"He fainted, Gil, could you take care of him just a bit longer?" asked Krane and Gilbert nodded as he rested Vega on the leather suite "innovate him with the use of my genes, meanwhile, I have a battle to get ready for!"
"Good luck, tell me Krane, will Vega be forced to join the military at his age?" asked Gilbert and Krane nodded slightly.
"I would have him as a test pilot until after this mess is over, once we have peace, he can begin as a test pilot but he will later be allowed as a full fledged Commander!" announced Krane as he walked towards the entrance hall "I'll see you later, Gilbert!!"
25th September, 11:30am; Aprilius One: Government Building, Patrick's Office
"Ah, Krane, I have already spoken with Le Creuset" smirked Patrick as Krane walked up to the desk "we are going to counter with GENESIS!"
"Excellent for you, however I believe it should be wise that we don't attack the Earth directly with the Gamma Cannon, if we fire at the Earth we may regret it later" pointed out Krane as he sat back and observed the finishing touches being made to GENESIS on the large screen "meanwhile, we are to concentrate our forces around Jachin Due and hope we can hold back the nuclear attack, all forces must understand that there are no retreat from this point on!"
"I understand your point of view, the Naturals have taken important people away from all of us, but we however shall strike back with our Gamma Cannon!" announced Patrick with a smirk and Krane nodded as he turned and left the room with a scowl.
12:30pm; Aprilius One: VIP Area, Krane's new Mansion
"It seems that those Bastards on the council are going to destroy the Earth without a doubt, if they fire at the Earth, a large portion of the Earth's surface will be obliterated and nearly all life on the planet incinerated!" announced the Head Scientist as he paced the office and Judice Lisborn scowled before looking at his brother.
"You know that I won't allow that, isn't that right, Silvafra?" asked Krane as he turned to look at his youngest sister with a smile.
"Father will fail in his attempt to gain revenge on the human race, all I know indefinite, is that Kira Yamato will play a part!" announced Silvafra and Krane nodded as he stood from behind his desk.
"Neither will we" scowled Cecile and Kale nodded as he leaned against the nearby wall.
"Very well the Dark Celestials will therefore create a final line of defence at Jachin Due and begin the final preparations for Nuclear Countermeasures, we will continue to support ZAFT but if Patrick Zala decides to fire upon the Earth then we will commence a Coup D'état and take over ZAFT in one swoop!" announced Krane as he pointed out the Plan for the next battle.
"What about the Fallen Angels!?" questioned Kale and Krane seethed at the name of the self-proclaimed Newtype Paramilitary Organization that had only been born due to the Dark Celestials' time, support and supplies on the matter.
"Forget the Fallen Angels, they are condemned as traitors to the human race even if they had no idea about Rau's Plan, we must now make final preparations!" announced Krane with a smirk as he stood "we must not fail!"
"Yes, my Lord!" saluted every member in the room and Krane nodded before leaving.
26th September, 1:00pm; Aprilius One: VIP Area, Krane's Mansion
"Your going off to battle soon, are you not, father?" asked Vega as he sat across from Krane in the suite in the living room and Krane nodded as he though of the coming battle "then…will you be leaving me alone also?"
"You have nothing to worry about, Vega, I will return with victory in hand!" announced Krane with a grin as he looked at his adopted son "just have faith!"
"Of course, how can I not believe that you will come home after this battle, you will win, right?" asked Vega and Krane smiled with a nod as he stood.
"I have to now go get ready, but I promise that our forces will push back OMNI and pave a way towards the future, that is a promise" smiled Krane before he walked out of the living room.
Info – And that is the end of that short chapter, but it shows how Krane and Vega met as father and son, next is the battles of Jachin Due where Krane stops fighting for awhile afterwards. Review!!
