Tallgeese Destroyed

By Kagewaki Hitomi
"In war the first casualty is truth."--Aeschylus
"Italics is radio communications."

Treize awoken to an annoying ringing sound and slowly open his eyes. He looked up at an unknown ceiling before sitting up in the bed. He looked around and spotted his clothes on the floor in the middle of the room. He got out the bed, made his way to his clothes, and dug into his pants pocket trying to find his phone and answer the call.

"Hello, Duke General Treize." he replied a little happy.

"First Prince Odysseus. What can I do for you?" he asked clipping the phone to his right ear and put on his shirt hiding the cross and a small oval metal of St. Joseph.

"I heard you were at the hanger last night from Dr. Haggard."

"Yes, I was there my lord." he said finish button up his shirt and grabbed his pants and put them on.

"I also heard that from a reliable source that you were with my sister the Second Princess Cornelia."

'Did Dr. Haggard tell him?' he thought and sat down to put on his boots before nervously replying, "I was with her, but we left separately to our own homes."

"I hope you didn't do anything with my sister." he replied jokingly.

"No, I didn't. I'm going to finish getting dressed and leave." he said as he put on his black and gray vest before zipping it up and tucked it in his pants.

He finished getting dressed and buttons his pants and buckled the belt. He grabbed his royal blue double-breasted dress coat, before slipping it on, and buttons it up. He found his two sterling silver cufflinks on the floor and picks them up. He pulled on his sleeves of his shirt and put the cufflinks on, of each sleeves. His hair was in major disarray.

"Okay don't take too long. I'll meet you at the hanger."

"Yes, My Lord."

"Bye."

"Bye, My Lord." he said and hung up the phone.

He closed his phone before putting it in his pants pocket, before turning to the bed. In the bed was a naked Cornelia sleeping half the covers covering her. On the dresser, he saw a pen and paper. He picked up the pen then writes a short note and folded it in half when he finished. He left next to her dresser mirror so she could find it quickly.

After quickly leaving the room and went down the hall. He soon left the house and unnoticed and headed for the hanger.


Before he reached the hanger, he had stopped by a restaurant to get something to eat. He used the bathroom to use the toilet, fixed his hair and washed his face. He entered the hanger felling got to get something to eat and headed for the office on the top floor. Dr. Haggard was already there, but Prince Odysseus was not there yet.

"So, how was your time with Princess Cornelia?" asked Dr. Haggard.

"I don't want to talk about it. But if you really must know in was one the best nights of my life."

"That good?" he asked.

"Oh, yeah. It was very good. So, do you know what we have planned today?"

"Not a clue, but we should get back to the plans for Wing Zero." he stated before pulling out the blueprints.

He unfolded the blueprints, and placed it on the table in front of them. He then picked up a pencil from the table. Treize had went to the wall and turned on more lights for them to see. He walked back to the table and placed his hands on the table.

"So, what else should it look like?" asked Dr. Haggard.

"Well everything looks right, but its shield needs to be a little more of a 'piledriver' nose. Also, it's Buster Rifle needs to be two and one so it can be separated into two separate single weapons."

"Yes, the wings are good. I have all figured out how the fame should move so it could transform into its Neo-bird Mode."

"Good then I think it's almost finished."

"So, what are you two doing?" asked Odysseus walking in.

"Going over some new blueprints for a new Knightmare."

"Really what's it called?"

"We named it Wing Gundam Zero."

"What is Gundam?"

Dr. Haggard answered, "We had decided it stands for the OS it utilizes called 'Generation Unsubdued Nuclear Drive Assault Module' complex operating System. Or G.U.N.D.A.M. for short."

"Very advent-garde."

"I kind of doubt we will use the full name of it. We'll just call it Gundam from now on."

"That's better."

"So, Treize. Why don't you tell Lord Odysseus about your night with Second Princess Cornelia." he stated slightly.

Odysseus looked suspiciously at Treize like a protective older brother. Treize had just taken a sip of water when Dr. Haggard said that. He then spit it out to the left away from them, hacked, and coughed. He hit his chest trying to catch his breath again.

"What was that Dr. Haggard?" asked Odysseus.

"H-He's lying My Lord I didn't sleep with

"Who said anything about sleeping?" commented Dr. Haggard smiling at Treize as he been caught.

"Um-Um--"


Western Africa--June 11, 2015 a.t.b.

.

.

Five years had passed since the Battle of Japan and the Tallgeese's debut on the world's stage. Many people were taking by surprise at the power that the Tallgeese had in combat. Some nobles had mixed feelings that's it pilot was not of noble birth, but a commoner. His rise to the noble rank of Duke was also a surprise.

Treize had piloted the Tallgeese in other conflicts of the Empire. Helping take Area 12, 13 and the soon to christen Area 14. He stayed in touch with Cornelia and they were on friendly terms. Though in the field she was very professional when they worked together, but alone she was making sexual advances and innuendo's to him. But with Odysseus constantly watching over him and Cornelia nothing came of it.

In the West African capital city of Niamey; Treize wand the Tallgeese were having a hard time as the tanks were ignoring anything else. They ganging up on him and his system were going critical. "Shit got to destroy those tanks fast." he muttered. He charged up the Dober Gun and took out all twenty tanks in a matter of four seconds. The Vernier Thrusters gave out and the Tallgeese fell 27m to the ground destroying the legs. A lot of its right arm was blown off the unit.

Treize unbuckled himself from the pilots seat and pressed the emergency button to open the hatch. It shot opened and hit the ground, he quickly grabbed his gun then attached it to his waist putting extra clips in his belt and his flight suit pockets. He grabbed his family sword that was sent to him from his mother. It was passed down to him from his grandmother the sword was a Norimune-made Kiku-Ichimonji and jumped out. He landed on the ground and tucked the sword in to his belt.

"Wind are you okay?" asked Fire.

"Yeah, I'm fine, but the Tallgeese isn't."

"Oh, don't tell me you destroyed it?"

"No, it just needs extensive repairs on the legs and right arm. That it could be considered a new unit."

"That's good I guess. Anyway Odysseus and I are making our way to you. We will be there in 15 minutes. In addition, we will contact Cornelia. She, Guilford, and Darlton are close by."

"Roger that, but try to hurry. Enemy troops are going to come soon."

"We will be there soon okay."

"Okay." he replied while loaded his pistol and hid behind the Tallgeese shield. He looked over as troops came his way all armed with automatic weapons.


"We need to hurry my lord."

"All right you take the wheel. I'll be on the .50-cal M2."

"You know how to shot the Browning Assault Rifle?" he asked.

"Of course, Dr. Haggard. Treize showed me how. He figured something like this would happen one day."

Odysseus was dressed in olive army fatigue. He had rolled up his sleeves to his elbows and put on a pair of brown fingerless gloves. He took his seat in front of the Browning .50-cal machine gun on the roof of the truck in an accented seat.

"Can you hear me Water?"

"Yeah, I can hear you clearly through the headset." he commented opening the top part of the gun and loaded the bullet belt into the trap. He closed it then hit it down and pulled the hammer back.

"You ready?"

"I'm ready."

The truck started and then took off down the road at top speed. With Dr. Haggard in the driver's seat. He also had a group of engineers to pick up the remains of the Tallgeese.


Treize took aimed threw the sights of the pistol on the lead man. He then pulled the trigger and the bullet tore through the head of the man who dropped to the ground in a pool of blood. The other ones looked around for the shooter and another was shot in the chest two times and dropped to the ground.

The others turned to were the shots had come from and opened fire on him. He stuck the gun out of the corner and shot blindly quickly empting the clip. He pulled it back, then let the clip dropped from the gun and pulled a full one from his belt and loaded it into the gun.

'I only have five clips left and a hundred of them. I guess you are going to be of use Ichimonji." he thought and switched his gun from his right hand to his left.

He drew his katana with his right hand. He used the gun and took a shot out the left side making them turn to the sound. He quickly jumped out on the right side and cut down two with one swing. He then quickly pulled the trigger in rapped succession and shot another fifteen in front of him.

He then ran into the fray of enemy troops and swung his sword horizontal at the enemies. He cut down as many troops as he could. He let go of his sword when he stabbed one and quickly reloaded his gun. Then started firing again at the enemy troops while pulling out his sword from the dead body.

'I cut their numbers down at least.' he thought.

They quickly opened fire at him with their assault rifles. Treize jumped up in the air and quickly fallowed his movement into the air. He pulled the gun forward and held his pistol at an angle and pulled the trigger five times. He hit five and one had jerked his arm to the left and shot three of his friends.

"General Khushrenada this is Cornelia do you read me?"

"Yes, I do my lady."

"Darlton, Guilford, and I are only a minute away from you. You think you can hang on for that long?"

"I think I can my Lady."

Treize kept on fight and gun shots rang threw the air. The light shine off his blade as he down an enemy close to him. He quickly got behind cover of the Tallgeese when he saw the three Knightmare's heading his way. They opened fire on the remaining enemy troops making short work of them.

"Thank you for the save my Lady."

"You now owe me a favor, Treize."

"I know that. Call it in whenever you like."

"I'll do that when I need it."


The truck was hitting potholes left and right making for a very rough ride. They soon spotted four tanks heading the same direction as them. Odysseus lined up the sights as Treize showed him and opened fire on it making sure to hit the treads and the engine. It did not take long for it to blow up in a beautiful display of fire and smoke.

"That's some good shooting, sir."

"Thanks, but I think the others have taken noticed, that there missing a tank."

"I can see that my Lord."

"Make sure that can't hit us, Dr. Haggard."

"Yes, sir."

The tanks started to open fire on them and Dr. Haggard had to swerve from getting hit. Odysseus opened fire on it like the last one in the same areas. It too exploded in smoke and fire. The fired the gun at the other two in the same areas.

"Were coming to the area where Treize crashed landed."

"Good."

They had already entered the city and turned left fallowing the GPS signal the Tallgeese gave off. The saw the Knightmare ahead of them, he hit the brakes and turned the wheel and slide in front of it with the trucks back to them.


Treize saw Dr. Haggard get out of the driver's seat and Odysseus got down from the roof. He jumped next to Dr. Haggard. Treize had already sheathed his sword and holstered his gun. He quickly walked to Odysseus and bowed his head to him.

"My Lord why did you come out here yourself?" he asked.

"I was not going to leave it to anybody else."

"Well I wasn't going to leave to anybody else."

"Yes, it will take the team sometime to repair the machine."

"How long will it take Dr. Haggard?" Odysseus asked.

"Well about four months at the most."

"That long."

"Treize you will most likely be out of commission for the next four months."

"Damn I thought I had missed heard you."

"But on the case you want to continue your mission. I brought a Knightmare with us."

"Good. Because I need to finish this mission." he commented walking to the back of the truck.

He headed up the stairs and sat in the pilot's seat, the seat went forward and the hatched closed behind him. He started it up and launched, stopping next to the Tallgeese the Dober Gun laid next to the destroyed right arm. The engineers were recovering all the parts of the Tallgeese and placing them into the trailer.

Hurry up men leave nothing behind! We have to do this fast so we can get back to Britannia by tomorrow!" yelled Dr. Haggard.

"My Lord?"

"What is it wind?"

"Continue the mission?"

"Yes, but do it fast we leave for Britannia tonight."

"Copy Water." he said as he picked up the Dober Gun from the ground.

He took off to continue his mission of destroying the military installments. It only took him maybe 2 hours to finished his mission and return to base. After that an hour later all three of them left for the homeland for some R.O.R.


Pendragon--September 10, 2015 a.t.b.

.

.

Treize sat in his office overlooking files for ace pilots from other squads to pilot Wing Gundam Zero. None caught his eyes, but there were a few in the maybe pile that he would like to join later on like Ensign Johnny Ridden and Ensign Emma Sheen, but couldn't find a place for them yet in the AEGIS. One that finally caught his interest was one Quatre Raberba Winner who just graduated from the Military Academy at the top of his class and near perfect score as a Knightmare pilot.

'I wonder what Meredith's doing now?' he thought.

The door opened in the left hand corner. Dr. Haggard entered and asked, "Did you find a pilot for Wing Zero?"

"I think I have."

"Who is it?"

"Lt. Quatre Raberba Winner."

"Never heard of him."

"Born: July 15, 2000 a.t.b.; blonde hair, blue eyes; stands about 5'2"; weights 91lbs."

"So he's only what 15 isn't that kind of young for a pilot don't you think."

"I know, but what you going to do."

"On a different note we started working on an air battleship."

"You mean the one dubbed BSC-01 Arcadia?"

"Yep, and our Lord wants it done by the end of the year."

"That fast. What about the plans to that Knightmare that your assistant proposed?"

"You mean the KMP-003 Gundam Kyrios?"

"Yeah."

"It was given the green light by Lord Odysseus. But I haven't told my assistant yet. I was just going to do that."

"Then go do that. I'm going to go meet Lt. Quatre Raberba Winner."


Treize had informed the Base Commander he was coming and would be there in a few hours. The base was located on the outskirts of the Rock Mountains away from anything so they could fight with the Knightmare's without disturbing anybody

He arrived at the base, and stopped at the base security and showed the guard his Military I.D. and was let threw. He was driving his Ford '69 Mustang, pulled into the parking lot, found a spot, then turned the electric motor off, and opened the door. He stepped out, and then shut the door behind him. He walked until he reached the Base Commander's Office. They meet outside the building and they both saluted each other.

"So, you're the one who asked about Lt. Quatre Raberba Winner?"

"Yes, I'm the one Brigadier General Kane."

"Then come with me General Khushrenada."

They walked to where the Knightmare's were running threw a mock battle. They stopped when they saw the Brigadier General Kane appearing on the field. They exited their Knightmare's and stood at attention in front of their Base Commander.

"Lt. Winner!"

"Yes, sir." said a young man stepping forward his voice was soft as well as deep.

"This man would like to speak with you."

"Fallow me Lt."

They walked in absolute silence till they came to an office. The Brigadier General left and closed the door behind him. Treize and Quatre sat down at the table across from each other.

"What can I do for you General?" asked Quatre.

"Lt. Winner have you ever heard of the AEGIS?"

"Yes, I have heard of the AEGIS. It's supposed to be the Shield of Jupiter. Right?"

"Well yes. But what about the group?"

"Yes, they are supposedly a Counter-Insurgence Group working For the Crown Prince Odysseus. They are operators of the Tallgeese."

"Yes, I'm the leader of the AEGIS working for Lord Odysseus."

"Why?"

"Huh?"

"Why are you here then?"

"Because I want you to join."

"Why me? I just graduated from the Military Academy."

"Because we need a test pilot for a new Knightmare we are creating. We were hoping after you test piloted it you could be its standard pilot for it for us."

"What's the main purpose of AEGIS?"

"We are fighting for peace."

"Using war to get peace!!"

"Yes, the older men declare war and we the youth must fight and die."

"I know what you mean, sir."

"Will you join the AEGIS?"

"Yes, sir."

"Good. We need to change this world. Winners of battle will eventually decline in power and become losers, and those losers will cultivate a new leader. A new leader that doesn't oppress the weak and cater to the strong."

"I'll help you and my new Lord Odysseus create this new world."

"Thank you Quatre Raberba Winner."
