Gundam Seed: Killer's Realm

Omake: That Dang Wall

It was a normal day on the renegade Barachiel. Off-duty crewman were hanging out in the cafeteria, mechanics were pulling bloodied and broken corpses out of OMNI suits, Jack was rooting around the ship for something; dragging Athrun and Kira with him, and Liene was designing MSMDs: Mobile Suits of Mass Destruction.

Of course, something had to ruin this fine day.

"Hah! Found it!" Jack screeched in triumph, dancing around the wall right outside the door to Athrun's quarters.

"Found what?" Both Athrun and Kira asked, in stereo.

"The Fourth Wall!" Both sane pilots sighed at Jack. The guy was already nuts, but now they thought he was getting worse.

"Jack, all rooms have four walls." Kira said, speaking slowly as if to an infant.

"No, you don't understand. The Fourth Wall I am speaking of is an extra-dimensional portal, and always appears during certain events, like when we found Athrun and Cagalli making a robot together. However, The Fourth Wall switches places constantly, following events and people. This is it!" Jack explained, pointing at a distorted looking part of the wall. Shaking their heads, they looked straight at the hazy section, mouths open to deride Jack.

Their jaws dropped, as they looked into the haze and saw.....

"Is that a kid typing on a computer?"

"Yep." Jack said smugly.

"He looks Asian." Kira said, studying the strange individual beyond the Fourth Wall.

"Japanese?" Jack asked, interested.

"No, he seems.....I dunno, I wanna say Vietnamese, but there's just something about his face....."

"Maybe he's a half-and-half."

"Could be." Then the kid looked behind him, and jumped out of his cheap-looking swivel chair, looking scared beyond all belief.

"Hey, I think he sees us." Jack commented, waving at the teen.

The kid looked furious, grabbing a pen, and a sheet of paper and starting to scribble furiously. After about a minute, he shoved the paper against the Fourth Wall. Jack had to squint to read it, the guy's handwriting was so bad.

"You...have to get...away... from...The....Wall....before....you...do....something...irreversible.....Jack-ass....you....could...de...destroy....the,....fabric...of...re..rea....reality....as...we...know..it. Hey! No one calls me Jack-ass!"

Behind Jack, Kira and Athrun coughed. Jack, however, started punching The Fourth Wall. The kid started waving his arms and shaking his head frantically, seeming to plead Jack to stop.

Too late, Jack stopped, as The Fourth Wall cracked.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 -- Quis est a Iuguolo nisi a Iuguolo? – 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I knew you were one insane bastard, but to actually mess with the fabric of reality? Damn." The kid shook his head. He, the Gundam pilots had learned, called himself Neb, which, according to him, was not his real name backwards.

At the moment, the four of them (plus Neb's computer) were floating in a large white void, made when the very fabric of reality cracked apart and dropped them into a pocket dimension of nothingness. According to Neb, their own reality was actually intact, and only they were sucked in because they were the ones closest to The Fourth Wall. And Neb was sucked in because it was his Fourth Wall.

"So, in one reality, Kira is a crybaby who hates killing?" Jack asked.

"For the tenth time, yes!" Neb replied irritatedly. He was typing rapidly on the computer, swearing fiercely every minute or so when he misspelled a word or screwed something up. "Now can you shut up so that I can get us out of here?"

"Whoah! What the hell is that?" Kira said, eyes bugging out as he stared over Neb's shoulder.

"Hey! That's not yours yet!" Neb protested, stumbling as Kira pushed him to the side and Athrun squatted next to the Orb Prince, reading Neb's files.

"Holy Shit, are these mobile suits or mobile monsters?" Athrun muttered, looking over the dozens of designs Neb had in his computer.

"Hey! Look at these!" Kira said excitedly, stopping at a file containing designs for three mobile suits.

"Oh My God........These are awesome!!" Athrun practically drooled, such was his awe at the Gundams he saw.

"Hold up, let's get a look a the opposition first eh?" Jack said, butting in and scrolling through the list. As he reached the part where OMNI's units were, they grew very, very quiet.

"Well....Abaddon gets a big upgrade." Kira choked out, chuckling nervously.

"Damn. That Samyaza is a lot more dangerous than we thought Kira." Jack said.

"Deuterium shells....Fuck." Athrun whispered. By the time Neb had forced them away from the computer, Kira had drawn his knife and was looking weirdly at it, Athrun was staring off into the distance, and Jack was sucking his thumb, rocking back and forth. Neb was back typing at his computer, and triumphantly hit the enter key. A large hole opened up, spilling all matter of mallets, hammers, and harisen (Japanese war fans) and many, many other assorted devices of pain and punishment commonly found in cartoons and anime.

"Whoops, heh." Neb grinned weakly, quickly sealing up the hole with a few lines of code. Jack glared at him, having suffered several whacks to the head. Ignoring the schizophrenic, Neb quickly tapped out another dimension-altering program. This time, a hazy area similar to The Fourth Wall appeared, and they all clustered around it.

"Ah, this isn't The Fourth Wall." Neb said, earning confused looks from the pilots. "It's a Fourth Wall."

"What's the difference?" Jack asked.

"Well, The Fourth Wall, my Fourth Wall, allows me to alter or guide a single reality of my making, while a Fourth Wall, the Fourth Walls these guys use, merely allow them to look at the reality." Neb explained, gesturing at the haze. In it, they all saw several people, peering through the extra-dimensional portal.

"Hey, that guy looks like he's from Oregon." Athrun said, pointing at one guy at the front of the viewers.

"Damn! She's hot." Jack drooled, staring at one of the few girls.

"Alright, alright, enough of that." Neb said crossly. With another few keystrokes, he closed that Fourth Wall and tried again to open theirs. Unsuccessfully.

"Umm...Neb, I don't think that's our stop." Jack said, pointing through the portal at the very, very large monster. Considering that whatever reality the thing lived in was very dark and misty, they could only see that it was at least three times their size, and had rows of long, sharp fangs. And wings.

All four screamed, very high, very loud, and very girly. Just before the beast reached through the portal, Neb closed it, practically feeling the few years of life lost due to that scare.

"Alright, we're not getting anywhere with you picking portals, I'm picking the next one!" Jack snarled, shoving Neb to one side as he started typing. The next portal opened to reveal.....two barrels of a very large gun held by a mobile suit with angelic wings, both barrels glowing an extremely energetic looking yellow.

"Shit!" Neb yelled, pushing past Jack to close the portal. Thankfully, they avoided disaster, the portal closing before the beam cannons (if that's what they were) fired. They all sighed in relief, collapsing on the 'ground' (Or at least, the invisible area of solidity that passed for ground in this non-space).

"Alright, one last try..." Neb said, typing again, this time checking every line of code.

"So, explain to me how your computer can manipulate reality." Jack said.

"Well, it can't really manipulate reality, per se." Neb replied. "It merely allows me to create and alter pseudo-realities of my own making. See, this is actually a story posted online for the viewing of others."

"That means....." The three were silent as the implications hit them.

"Yep. You guys don't exist." With that, Neb grinned as he hit one, final key.

Everything went black.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 -- Quis est a Iuguolo nisi a Iuguolo? – 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

A/N: Yep, it's an Omake. Yes, it's weird.

On other things.....

You guys want longer chapters? You do realize that means it'll take me longer to post them right? If that's what you guys want, sure I'll do it.

Velshard: Sheesh, no wonder I haven't heard from you in while. Hope you got the job. Anyway, like I said, it is an important battle. We just haven't gotten to the important part.

Kojiro Kun: nice to hear from you again. Glad you like it.

TheMovieGuy: Thank you.
