Valkyrie's Flight: The Lost Sagas: Code Geass
The Year is Cosmic Era 109. With the defeat suffered at Ron's hands, Schneizel el Britannia prepares to rebuild the Britannian Navy. But as he is about to figure out, challenging the Order of the Black Knights is going to be a royal whore.
IBSCVA-12 Utah: 2 kilometers above Pendragon, capital of the Holy Britannian Empire
"Every ship can be rebuilt, but we've got a problem. These were taken by space telescopes in Arizona." Schneizel looked at them.
"The Black Knights are on Mars?"
"Their ship and Mobile Suit manufacturing facilities are, at least."
"Damn."
He knew taking out the Black Knights production facility would be a bitch, but Mars?
"Fuck!"
"My sentiments indeed, your highness. But Colonel Pinkerton's our biggest problem."
"Why?"
"He's rallied the Chinese Federation into a frenzy. They've hated us for years, and Colonel Pinkerton's supplying Mobile Suits to them."
"And we've barely gotten the GNXIII into production!"
The Second Prince scowled.
Colonel Ronald Pinkerton was a royal pain in the ass, and his Minotaur-IVs were wiping the floor with the Britannian Minotaur-IIIs.
"Can the Utah jump?"
"Yes, but it's a bad idea. He's got a fleet of Minotaur-IVs in orbit, and he's bought in an unidentified ship. We don't know what it will do."
"Then we wait until the fleet is repaired. Damn it!"
Mars: Order of the Black Knights Mobile Suit Factory and Shipyard
Ron looked at the hulk that was the Battlestar Yashuman.
It was ripped and torn in thousands of places, but salvageable.
"So, why are we rebuilding this piece of junk?"
Ron turned on his heel and looked at Todo.
"That 'piece of junk' is my child! I practically gave birth to the Valkyrie-Class Battlestar! You should be honored!"
"Really?"
"No force I worked with ever used a Battlestar. I had to design and build other warships for them. The Yashuman is now the property of the Order of the Black Knights, and after her reconstruction and refit, she will deserve her new name."
"New name?"
"Japan, my friend. The Battlestar Japan."
Todo was amazed. A ship was being named after their country? And according to Ron, it would be the most powerful ship in the fleet.
He was making sure that it was impossible to destroy, via assimilation by the ELS or his prototype Sakuradite bombs.
The Morgan had similar shielding, but less powerful, as until now, only he could make the weapons.
Schneizel, however, could now make Sakuradite and make the bombs.
In fact, intel suggested that he'd already made one and called the prototype FLEJIA, after a Norse goddess: the one of fertility if he remembered correctly.
'He may be an asshole, but he chose a good name.'
Ron adopted the name for the weapons he produced, and the Japan would be the first ship to carry them.
"Colonel, we've got three contacts inbound. Brit IFF."
"Classification?"
"Looks like...Gollem-Class."
The Gollems were crude outgrowths of the Minotaur-III-Class, nothing like the graceful Centaurs, but Ron digressed.
They were based on the Loki, a prototype Dominion battlecruiser, and the Minotaur-III. The prototypes, the Gollem, Ogre and Titan, were more then a match for the Minotaur-IVs under Ron's command, but Ron had the Morgan and Zero.
Bastard was a miracle worker, and he was damned good at his miracles.
"All vessels, charge Yamato cannons and prepare to fire."
"Sir, I've got a white flag from the Titan. CO claims to be a Euphiemia li Britannia."
"The Hidden Princess. Stand down to Condition Three. Zero, Suzaku, please meet me on board the Luna Santa Maria. It appears we have a royal defector."
"We're on our way."
IBSCVA-53 Titan: Euphiemia li Britannia commanding
The Titan was a crude ship, nothing like Schneizel's Avalon-Class floatships.
But it was designed to use Britannian FTL drives, which were crude but functional.
"Ma'am, we're being hailed by the Luna Santa Maria." Euphie sighed.
"Put Zero up."
The faces of Suzaku Kururugi, Colonel Ronald Pinkerton and Zero appeared on screen.
"You weren't kidding, Colonel."
"Zero, I am former Third Princess of the Holy Britannian Empire, Euphiemia li Britannia. I'm defecting to the Black Knights. My crew is-"
"If they want to join, so be it. If not, they can leave."
"They were members of Marianne's Royal Guard, and they want the one responsible for her death bought to justice."
"Fine by us."
"Ma'am, twelve ships just jumped in, Britannian IFF. The command ship is the Cyclops."
"Schneizel. Colonel-"
"We know. We've got something for him."
Then she saw a Mobile Armor launch from the Luna Santa Maria.
It was the METEOR MR1, armed with new FLEJIA warheads.
"Die, motherfuckers!"
Six were launched from the Cylon-designed MIRV launchers used on the Colonies 40 years earlier. (AN: To understand what I'm talking about, watch Battlestar Galactica: The Plan. Great movie, and greater plot)
Euphie watched as the Sakuradite nukes exploded, destroying most of the enemy Britannian fleet.
Only three ships, including the Cyclops, survived.
But before they were destroyed, the Minotaurs launched every Mobile Suit they had.
As every one could carry 50 Mobile Suits and the Gollem carried 200, the forces against the Black Knights were 800 to 1, and the one was the Morgan. But Morgan alone was worth 1000 Mobile Suits.
With the METEOR MR1, it was worth the entire Londo Bell fleet circa UC 0093.
The Morgan launched the DRAGOONs mounted on the METEOR's frame and targeted the entire enemy fleet.
"FULL BURST!"
With 40 DRAGOONs and a large number of beam cannons, most of the Brit MSs were wiped out.
The rebuilt Kyrios and Virtue barely survived the attack, as none of the weapons designed to punch through GN fields were pointed at Virtue and the Kyrios hid behind it.
"Is he gone?"
"Shut up, you baby. Engage the Morgan."
Then railgun rounds-designed to go through GN fields, I might add-damaged the Virtue, and the now angry Knight of Six-a damn near-impossible feat-fired on the Morgan, but the Mobile Suit dodged the fire.
Then a beam cut through the space between the Brit and Colonial MSs, and Ron knew what it was.
After all, it nearly destroyed the A3: a GNZ-003 Gadessa.
"Shit!"
Then the pilot appeared on the Morgan's screen.
It was the Third Princess, Euphiemia li Britannia.
"What the hell?"
"My sister's a KMF pilot, and I'm good at piloting Mobile Suits."
"Fucking Newtypes...They just won't leave me alone..."
"I'll deal with the Virtue."
"Then the kid is mine."
The Knight of Six was pissed off-Ron must've caught her at that time of the month-(No offence to my female readers...if I still have any...) and she was forced to deal with a defecting royal?
Her blood was boiling now.
"DIE!"
The Gadessa dodged the angry girl's shot with ease, then returned in kind. The difference? Ron disabled Anya's GN field.
The Gadessa didn't need it, as it was fast enough to dodge most attacks.
FA Gundams weren't designed for mobility, but protection and firepower.
But the Gadessa had a 225mm GN High Mega Cannon, and without a GN field, the Virtue was a literal sitting duck.
The Virtue was destroyed, and Anya bailed out.
Ron was having a fun time with the Kyrios, and I'm not kidding: Ron was enjoying himself.
The Twins were blazing MPC fire at the Kyrios, and the fighter-type dodged with ease, but only because Ron let him.
"DRAGOONs! Destroy him!"
Gino ejected from the Kyrios, making it back to the Cyclops, and his MS was destroyed.
The Brit fleet jumped away.
Three days later
Cornelia was livid.
Her sister was missing, presumed dead on board the ship she was inspecting, as it was stolen by rebels who had defected to the Black Knights.
Still, they were losing their hold on Area 11, and the fact that three of their Gollem-Class battlecarriers were now in the hands of the enemy, and now Euphie was missing!
What's next?
Lelouch vi Britannia showing up alive?
Then two missiles hit her ship, the Minotaur-III-Class Marianne vi Britannia.
She started to curse her extremely bad luck.
Orbit of Mars: December 7th, ATB 2018
Ron looked at the jump plots.
"All ships show green on all fronts, Colonel. Zero, permission to jump?" Zero chuckled.
"8 years we've waited for this day. And I've been anxious. Can we beat Britannia? Maybe, with the force of the Morgan and the Japan!"
"Long live Japan!"
"Cry Havoc! And Let Slip the Dogs of War! Engage!"
"All vessels, jump! Repeat, jump!"
The fleet jumped into the atmosphere.
Minotaur-III-Class IBSCVA-69 Arizona, above Area 11
Schneizel was thinking. Strategy didn't matter with Colonel Pinkerton, as his Morgan could wipe out any Mobile Suit that ran into it. And Zero was his equal in strategy. Those two should never have met, but in this case...He was screwed. And he knew it.
Even his uncle, V.V, was sending help with KMFs and DMSs.
Most of the Knights of the round were there, too, and Gino was ready for payback.
Everyone just stayed away from Anya.
Their new MSs-GN-003 Kyrios Tristan and GN-007 Mordred Seravee-were ready for combat, and soon, the Black Knights would quake in fear of the Knight of One's BGN-0000 00 Gawain.
The entire Round Table was coming to Area 11.
"Your Highness, an entire fleet of warships just jumped into the atmosphere! IFF confirms Order of the Black Knights!"
He looked to the Knights of Three and Six.
"We'll take care of them!" (For a battle theme, try Envoy from Jupiter from Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Awakening of the Trailblazer)
"Damn it! All MS teams, engage the Black Knights!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Unfortunately, an old enemy of Ron's was back.
Thousands of metal objects hit the Britannian fleet, and half of the fleet was destroyed.
"Fucking ELS won't leave me alone! Train AA guns on any object not showing Brit or Black Knights IFF!"
Kallen's new JGAT-X606A Guren Gundam looked up and saw hundreds of thousands of ELS coming down on them.
Ashford Academy
Revelz got in his new BGNMS-01A Dynames Mass Spec Production Model, with Milly and Shirley in the cockpit behind him.
Nunnally was in the belly pod with Sayoko.
The DMSPM was won from a bet with a Britannian Mobile Suit manufacturer, and he was using it to ferry people from the settlement to the Chinese Federation, to avoid getting killed, with him and the Student Council being the last to go.
Unfortunately, the huge unidentified flying metal objects were gunning for them.
The Britannians and Black Knights were both shooting at themselves and the ELS, and they were going to join the fight, willingly or not.
"Sorry, guys, but they need help!"
The DMSPM was more based on the GN-006 Cherubim, and thus had GN Bits.
"Launching GN Bits, firing GN Sniper Rifle!"
The DMSPM turned and shot down an ELS GNXIII, and nearly got assimilated by an ELS Strike Dagger.
Fortunately, 00 Lancelot shot down the ELS MS.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah, we're just fine! Thanks!"
Then the 00 Lancelot was hit a number of times by ELS forms.
The Morgan turned it's deathly gaze on 00 Lancelot.
"Full Burst!"
The poor MS was crippled beyond repair and the pilot likely dead.
"Colonel! Why did you destroy Suzaku's Mobile Suit?"
"It was either that, or let him be assimilated."
Then 00 Raiser fired on the Morgan, but the seasoned Colonel dodged every shot.
"So, betraying me?"
"You murdered Suzaku!"
"Well, all I need is this. Trans-Am Burst!"
A field of green GN particles surrounded Area 11, and soon every ELS, from the assimilated Minotaurs of the Imperial Britannian Navy Space Forces to the natural forms they usually took, were under his control.
Revelz opened fire on the Morgan, but evey shot never connected, as Ron blocked them with his lightwave shield.
"Fall back! Fall the fuck back!"
IBSCVA-69 Arizona
"The Knights of the Round are here, sir!"
The ID codes of the Knight of One's 00 Gawain, the Knight of Nine's ZGMF-X23S Saviour and the Knight of Twelve's GAT-X105E Strike Noir appeared on the screen.
Then a huge number of ELS forces rushed at them.
The two lesser knights were taken out easily, but the GN-0000-based 00 Gawain held them off long enough for a number of Britannian and Black Knights forces to escape.
In the end, however, the Knight of One was taken out.
But they weren't dead.
Ron wouldn't kill valuable pilots.
They were taken to the Luna Santa Maria, which jumped away.
General POV
The Knights of the Round picked up the 00 Lancelot and ran toward the Arizona.
Then the Japan's FLEJIA launchers opened up.
"Shut them down!"
"We can't! Colonel Pinkerton's hacked the controls!"
Dozens of the weapons hit Toyko and the surrounding area.
"Uh-oh. All vessels, jump to Mars! The planet's going to blow!"
And Zero was proven right.
The crust was cracking open, and everyone on the planet was going to die.
Then a Brave launched from the Japan.
"C.C, where are you going?"
"Back to my husband, the good Colonel. After all, he is a true Innovator."
"You were Hiling Care all this time?"
"Being sent back in time wasn't pretty, Lelouch, but my loyality was always to Ron, never you."
Mars: 5 days later
Earth had been turned into the third Char, and the survivors were furious.
Ron was trying to save them by trying to kill Suzaku, as he was almost assimilated by the ELS, but Zero took it the wrong way.
Then again, Ron never liked Suzaku, and was trying to get rid of him.
Schneizel was surprised to see his little brother alive and well, along with his two sisters, (Cornelia being captured less then a year ago) but now they had nothing left.
"We could contact the Colonial Fleet. They've got the reputation for letting other people join them."
"We're using the Colonial's IFF!" Lloyd shrugged.
"I'll rewrite it. Britannian IFF is different from the Colonel's."
"I see. Do it. Rakshata, are those trans-universal FTL drives ready?"
"We can jump to Cosmic Era Earth at any time."
Then Kallen walked in.
"The Guren's trashed. Those ELS bastards destroyed the GN Radient Surger."
"Well, Ron did let them go after he hacked the Japan's FLEJIA launcher and fired those warheads."
"And C.C betrayed us, as well! Bitch just happened to be Colonel Pinkerton's wife!"
"Time travel sucks."
Then Lelouch gaped.
"Oh, shit!"
Earth: January 1st, CE 112
The Battlestars Galactica and Pegasus hovered above MESSIAH Station, vanguards of the Colonial Fleet's GHQ.
Fleet Admiral Kira Yamato sighed. Why did Admiral Adama give him the job of commanding the Colonial Fleet?
He liked the Old Man-seriously, who didn't?-but he didn't want command of the Fleet, even though he was the next in line.
"Because you are the best at what you do, Kira. That's why you're my XO."
When the man known and loved as the Old Man of Galactica died, it was of a broken heart.
Roslin died shortly after the Colonial Civil War, and the original Galactica was long gone by then.
His two girls were gone.
In fact, he died only a year after Zeus Avalonia died of a heart attack and brain stroke.
The Old Bastard had driven everyone away trying to find the most hated man in the universe, and those caused his death.
Only a few people showed up at his funeral, including Admiral Adama and his next of kin, Nova and Maria.
The only Adamas left were Lee, his wife Dualla and their children.
"Admiral, we have a number of contacts in range: most of them are Minotaur-Class, but a few are Baikal and Nile-Class. Sir, one of them is the Yashuman!"
Kira's eyes widened to the point of nearly popping out of his head.
The Yashuman was an old, out-of-date ship, but it was normally was the flagship of Colonel Ronald Pinkerton.
"Action Stations! Condition One throughout the fleet!"
"Wait! Sir, I'm getting a white flag from the Yashuman, claiming to be the Battlestar Japan, flagship of the Order of the Black Knights. Someone named Zero would like to speak with you."
"Put him through."
And that's the end of The Lost Sagas, as we all know how this all ends.
But the THAB saga isn't over yet!
Thor's Ascent will cover the events of After War Gundam X, Gundam F91 and finally Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Awakening of the Trailblazer.
And before I go for the next little while, I've got a few challenges for you, my fellow authors.
Challenge One: Code Geass/Dead Space crossover. Lelouch and the Black Knights somehow get on board the Ishimura, and are forced to deal with not only Necromorphs and hallucinations of dead loved ones, but Cornelia's forces and the Geass Order. Will the Black Knights survive?
Challenge Two: Red vs. Blue/Code Geass: after the 100th episode, our friends are sent into a world where giant machines called Knightmare Frames rule supreme on the battlefield. Will the Britannians and the Order of the Black Knights survive the madness that is the Reds and Blues, or will they just crive everyone insane, including the 98th Emperor of Britannia and his son, Lelouch?
Challenge Three: Resident Evil/Halo: Chris, Sheva, Jill and Josh are sent into the future and into another war, this time with humanity's fate in the balance. But they aren't the only ones: Wesker's still alive, and wants Complete Galactic Saturation. Can they stop Wesker and the Covenant, or will Wesker and the Flood destroy them all?
Challenge Four: Red vs. Blue/Dead Space: During the events of Chapter 14 in Reconstruction, Wash discovers the reason behind the AIs: they were created by the Director to study a device called...the Blue Marker. Now he needs to find this Blue Marker and destroy it...but only with the help of the idiots who just won't die!
I'd be honored if anyone picked one to write about, and I'm particularly proud of the CG/RvB and DS/RvB crossovers.
But for now, I must go, as I've got a few stories to write and I'd rather update with more then one chapter!
Next Time, on my newest story, the Halo/Code Geass crossover Hero's Comeback: The Chief ends up in a strange world, and he has to help the Order of the Black Knights in order to get home!
Ja Ne, my readers and friends!
