(Story start)
Zero System..
The name given to a cockpit system that quickly calculates battle data and feeds the large amounts of stats on estimated values directly back to the pilot. But this system also drives a pilot to his limits, to the extent that he won't even fear his own death thus helping him gain adsolute victory. The year is 2017 A.T.B of the holy imperail calendar as the world constantly evloves in the era of oppression and war, a machine has been discovered that could turn humans into the ultimate weapon.
The Gundam Epyon.
However is using this system worth the price of losing ones sanity? Zero the current pilot of this Gundam is now searching for a possible lead on the origin to this mysterious machine. Is it a new Britannian weapon or Is it stolen technoloy from a different faction? Who would create such a powerful machine and a deadly system going along with it? Zero has decided to find the answer to these questions. Through the unknown contact only known as Mister Z.
(In the sky above area 11)
Zero aka Lelouch was flying through the night sky in the gundam's mobile jet form to reach the location of this unknown contact. As he flew over the settlement he couldn't help but look down to see the lights of the city showing the life of people living below. Oblivous to the fact that the man who killed a Prince was a soaring above their heads. However this was soon replaced by old ruined buildings of the Ghettos the other residents of this settlement were forced to live in showing the pain and misery these people were living with. He turned his head to the beeping noise coming from the system of the Gundam.
(Approaching destination. ETA Twenty minutes.)
He then looked at the screen to see an old air field a few miles ahead of him.
(So thats where our mysterious friend was sending his invation from. I really hope I'm not making a mistake?) He slowed down the Gundam to a cruising speed as he finally reached his suppossed meeting place. Moving the controls he started moving in a wide circle around the the air field while he looked down at the old decayed planes that were scattered around showing the how the once proud machines of the former nation were now just sitting and collecting rust. As he looked he for any buildings, he spotted a couple of large hangars and a few buldings in between them.
(Guess I'm a little too anxious to find answers about this Gundam? But I do need to know all there is to this thing it. I hope this person is willing to give me my answers.. If not!) Lelouch narrowed his eyes as his geass flared showing intent to use his other weapon.
"Epyon. Can you find anyone down there? We need to find this so called Mister Z!" Lelouch said towards the system.
(Scanning for Human biosigns... Scanning complete.. One Human biosign has been detected.) thesystem responded as the picture of one the the hangers appeared on the screen giving Lelouch a firm grasp of where it was coming from.
"So he's really down there! I guess I should land this thing and say hello!" Lelouch said as he slowed down the Gundam and moved towards the surface. When it got close to the ground it transformed to its mobile suit form and landed on the ground in a award style showing the pilot's attempt at a stable landing. After finally steading itself the Gundam walked slowly towards one of the large hangers as the pilot looked from side to side paraniod about how quiet the old field was. The Gundam walked into the hanger and towards a catwalk that was conveniently aligned to it's cockpit which was located in it's chest. When it stopped the hatch opend up allowing the ramp to connect to the catwalk as the piolt popped his helmeted head out to check out the area around him.
"I wonder where he could be?" Lelouch said to himself as he stepped onto the catwalk and looked to see it leading up to and overview office in the far corner of the hanger. As he looked towards it he noticed a small light in one of the windows of the office.
"I can take a guess and say he might be in there." he said as he walked towards the overview office. He finally walked into the room to see a desk at the far end with a big cushioned chair sitting behind it with it's back turned to Lelouch. He started walking closer until he saw a hand appear holding a glass of some kind of beravage being set on the table as a voice made itself known.
"So you finally made it here Mister Zero." the now identifed man said as he spun his chair around letting lelouch see who he was dealing with. The man sported a pair of sunshades and wore a red Hawaiian shirt with green flowers spotted all over it. His silver hair poked out the sides as the rest of his head apperaed to be balding. The man's face held a fine moustache while his chin supported a poked out beard.
"So were you the one who sent me that message earlier? Are you this Mister Z?" Lelouch asked after finally taking in the man's appearance.
"Yes I am. I figured it would be best if we meet considering the fact that you are piloting a Gundam after all." The man smiled as he leaned in giving the boy in front of him his full attention.
Lelouch looked down for a few seconds as if to gather his thoughts for the moment.
(I could use my geass to force him to answer my questions just like I did with Clovis and Kallen. But then again I might need to use it on him later on. I'll try probing first to see if he'll answer.)
Then he looked back at the man to see him waiting for him to ask his questions.
"So you do know something about Epyon. Then tell me do you work for the Brittaninans or at least use to work for them?" lelouch asked the man in front of him.
The man smiled as he started his response. "As a matter of fact yes I do know about the Epyon but I don't work for the Britt's."
Lelouch tilted his still helmeted head as he asked his next question. "Then tell me Mister Z is it a new prototype weapon they are trying to perfect? Who created that thing? It is unlike anything I've seen before;a weapon that large yet it dosen't posses a sakurdite engine of any kind."
The man chuckled a little at this. " I assure you kid the Gundam isn't a Britt project of any kind. Thou they did acquire it, they didn't build it." The man leaned back in his chair grabbing his drink slowly bringing it close to his lips as he spoke. "So tell me son how did you get your hands on Epyon in the first place?"
Lelouch's mind flashed back to the events that took place in the shinjuku ghetto causing him to frown as the images of death crossed his mind.
" I acquired it in the shinjuku ghetto. It was being transported along with some other projects, they must have been wanting to move. I used the Epyon and killed Clovis with it. I don't have a good memory of it but when I try to recall what happened my head gets a little fuzzy."
The man smile left as he heard this, he then put his hand up to his glasses in an attempt to adjust them.
"Sounds to me you got a first taste of the that damn Zero system they had installed in the Gundam. Count yourself lucky kid most people who aren't prepared to use that system usally would end up dead. You must have a strong will to keep on ticking after using it."
Leouch then looked back at the man with a look of determination. "So your said earlier that the Empire didn't build it. Then do you know who did? I need to know more about the weapon I'm using!" Lelouch asked the man.
The first response was a short laugh making Lelouch frown in anger at the man's mockery of him. The man somehow knowing the boys anger quickly put his hands up in defense.
"Easy there kid I wasn't laughing at you. It's just what you just said reminded me of someone way back. He would ask a question like that in the sameway." The man then sighed in relief at the apparent old joyous memory. He then started the conversation again "To your earlier question - yes I do know who built the Gundam but if you want more answers then I propose we make a deal?"
Just as Lelouch was about to ask about this deal a green ball bounced towards the desk of Mister Z. When it finally bounced to the front of the desk it continued to bounce in one spot with two metal flaps going wild and two blinking lights that appeared to be eyes. It quickly gained the attention of both men.
"I FOUND THEM, I FOUND THEM!" A child like voice came form the ball making Lelouch raise an eyebrow at the strange object in front of him.
The man laughed heartily at the small machine. "Heh Good job there squirt. Where are they now?"
"Wait! What is that thing?!" Lelouch yelled out while pointing a finger at the still bouncing ball.
"Oh this. This little guy here is named Haro. Why don't you say hello , Zero - Haro .Haro - Zero." Mister Z smiled as they both turned towards the helmeted teen.
"Hello Zero, Hello Zero" the Haro chirped in excitement not helping the dark haired teen in getting use to the situation being unused to communicating with machines that displayed such genuine emotion.
"Um hello there... little strange thing ,... anyway... Um you were saying something about a deal?" Lelouch continued the previous conversation.
( Hour an a half hour later at former Yokosuka naval base now an Brittiannian port.)
The Epyon was hiding behind a building with its head poked out giving it a view of a small port with a large barge surrounded by a few knightmare frames and a few partol vechiles in the harbor. The eyes of the gundam flared to life as the slowly moved back from a passing armored vechicle moving a little to close for comfort. After several minutes of waiting Lelouch turned on his radio.
"So this is the location of these person of interst you mentioned?" Lelouch spoke into his radio.
"Yeah. This is the last mentioned location in those tranmissions Haro scanned for us. This barge is filled with pisoners along with those are to move these guys to a more secure holding facility for some important work. Trust me we will need to get those guys out of Britt's hands." the voice of Mister Z responed.
Lelouch then looked at the barge as another question came to mind "If these guys are so important why haven't they left already?"
"These men were under the command of general Bartly who was helping Clovis in maintaining his recent project's. There was another barge here but it must have left for the main land a few days ago. This one has been stuck here for awhile. I'm guessing with Prince Clovis's death and General Bartly being removed of his command by Jeremiah, these guys have decided to keep watch until they get handed new orders. According to Haro's scans this barge will be moving out soon. So we better make our move to bust them out."
Lelouch moved his head back out to peek at the barge still in the harbor. As his eyes roamed to the partols he began to pondor his situation.
( I need some way to distract these guys so I can get into that barge or at least I need to sneak my way in... wait I got it!).
Moving the Epyon to a safe distance in the dark shadow of a large building the gundam kneeled down, as the hatch opened letting the teen drop onto the ground. Remaining crouched he pulled out his new 9/11 pistol. He reached up to remove his helmet with one hand allowing him to stealthly move against the walls. Meanwhile his mind formulated a plan.
( Now I just need to catch a guard and use my new power on him. The rest will be a cake walk...) His racing thoughts came to a sudden halt as a spot light hit him causing him to freeze in his tracks.
"YOU THERE! STOP! DROP YOUR WEAPON AND PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD!" A guard yelled from the drivers seat of a gray jeep while another guard manned the light into Lelouch face making him squint.
Lelouch slowly put down his gun and moved his hands to said position his mind only came up with up thing. (... Just great. The cake walk is obviously out.).
As the two men moved out of the jeep the one in the driver seat switched off the lights. This gave Lelouch a sense of hope as he saw the two guards had left their head gear off even though they had their guns drawn on him. The first guard was an average blond haired guy while his partner a brown haired man who looked like he was 'way too into his hair' look. Lelouch closed his eyes at the luck of this golden opprunity. (Now that the light is out of the way.)
The first guard stepped forward leading Lelouch to assume this guy was the one in charge. As Captain Obvious spoke up, "You are in a restriced area. State your buisness for being here with a weapon."
As Lelouch opened his eyes his geass flared to life
"Obey me!"
Their guns lowered as they were hit with the geass command. As the geass quickly over took their weak wills they both saluted him as an officer.
"Yes my lord!" they both yelled out making Lelouch grin.
"I want you two to report that this area is all clear when you check in with your superiors. Then I want you to make sure no one finds my machine down a block from here!" He looked at the blonde haired guard sizing him up as the same height and build as himself he came up with another idea.
" And you hand over your uniform, ID tags and weapons!"
(Skip on board the prison barge)
After slowly making his way inside by passing unoticed by the guards or geassing the ones who spotted him into letting him pass. Lelouch walked down a corridor on the large ship unoticed as just one of the guards. He came to an intersection of four corridors. Uncertain he moved his head from side to side to check if the coast was clear. He moved his hand to the side of his new borrowed helmet to active the radio he had set to receive his new contact.
"I'm on the 2nd level of the ship got any suggestions on where our guys are being held?"
"They're more likley being held with the other prisoners in the brig on the 3rd floor of the ship. Just keeping going and radio me when you get close." Mister Z answered him
Lelouch moved through the halls and found the stairs leading to the 3rd floor. Approaching a series of heavy green metal doors he moved to the first door and opend the view hatch to peek inside. He saw a few men in prisoner outfits lounging on miniscule bunks when one scruffy guy noticed him looking in.
"What the *#&* do you want?" the man growled out.
"Just doing a routine check up. Go back to your buisness." Lelouch growled as he shut the view hatch and moved down the hall.
( I need to speed this up before this ship leaves. I need to get to a security room to see what cell they are in on this floor.) As he moved around a corner he saw a guard smoking while leaning against a wall.
(He might know.) Clearing his throat he asked " Excuse me, Sir! I need to ask you about where to report disruptive prisoners on this floor, sir."
The man looked at him funny then laughed as he took a drag from his cigarette.
"New guy huh? Easy with the sir crap I ain't a sargent so you can chill. Just go down the hall and take a right the security for this floor is the third door on the left you can't miss it."
"Thank you, sir."
As Lelouch found the door he removed his head gear before entering to see a guy looking at the screens in boredom. As he stepped in however the guy spun around to see who had entered. "Hey who are you? What are you doing here?"
"Follow my orders!" Lelouch geassed him to shut him up.
Disregarding the "Yes my lord" he moved to look at the screen's showing the hallways on one set of screens and the rooms on another. His eyes landed on the one he suspected was showing the cells blocks. " Can you locate any scientist that are being held on this floor?"
"Yes sir!" The man typed on a keyboard to pull up a video showing four men in a cell block sitting around talking. "They are located in cell 3-10 sir!"
(Finally found them.) Lelouch looked slyly at the man as an idea came to mind. "I want you to open every cell block this room controls."
"At once your highness!"
The screen showed the prisoners looking at their cell doors in utter astonishment as if their spontaneous opening was a bad magic trick but without hesitating they walked out of their cells with smiles on their faces. After doing this Leouch moved to leave the room only to stop in the doorway.
"Oh and one last thing I need you to die for me." As he left he started to put the helmet back on muffeling the sound of a gun shot most likely from the guy putting the gun barrel up to his head.
(Skip)
The guard that had been taking his smoke break was finally done with his cigeratte and walking back to the blocks when he saw several prisoners in the hall way, as soon as he spotted them he drew his gun on them.
" WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT OF YOUR CELLS!" Just as he was about to fire a bullet hit him in the leg making him drop his gun and fall down in pain.
"WHAT THE HELL!" he yelled out as he held his leg only to gasp as he realized he dropped his gun. When he reached for it however a foot came down on his wrist making him look up at a heavy built prisoner with a sneer on his face.
"Night, Night Brittiannian!" the big man said as he brought a mean right hook across the guards face knocking him out. The man then looked down to see a soldier holding a smoking pistol walk towards him and his cell mates.
"I need to ask you guys for a favor. What do you say? lelouch said to the men putting the gun in its holster to appear less threating.
"And who are you supposed to be?" the man in front said taking charge of the others. He was tall and heavy muscled with buzz cut white hair and a white go-tie on his chin.
"Its more polite to give your name first is it not?"
"Fine. My name is Dasuke and what is your if you don't mind me asking?"
"I don't mind for my name is Zero!"
"Zero?" just as Dasuke said that the whole ship shook making everyone stuble at the sudden force. "Did something just hit us?! Did you have something to do with that?!" Dasuke looked at the supposed soilder only to see him walking past him.
"No. I don't know what's going on but we better keep moving before it's to late!" Zero spoke out as he moved to get the scientist from their cells.
(Meanwhile outside)
Bullets were flying as massive red and white machine moved into the harbor spraying the Brittiannian forces with a double barrell gatling gun on its right arm. Moving throu the chaos this new Gundam aimed it's weapon with prescion as it took down numerous opponents. A Sutherland was filled with holes as it moved out of cover to fire only to explode as a several bullets struck its sakuradite engine taking out a few Brittiannian's around it.
"What the hell is going on?!" a sutherland yelled out as he saw several aircraft and knightmare's go up in flames. The pilot looked towards the source of the heavy firepower to see the new death machine swing its arm to destroy some forces off to the side. "You two move with me! We're taking this thing out right now!"As the three sutherlands move in for the kill the pilot inside the new Gundam saw them moving up on him.
" You'll have to do better than that if you want to defeat me!" The chest piece on the New Gundam open up to show two more barrels hidden underneath and unleash a hail of death onto the knightmares.
"Now to destroy everything here!" the shoulder pads and fore legs opened up to reveal several missiles. As the missiles shot off they caused destruction across the harbor, a few hit the barge making it shake from the impact.
(Inside the ship)
Professor G one of the suppose scientists was an old man with green hair in the shape of a mushroom and had a very pointed nose and a jagged scar under his right eye. He was sitting on a bed in the cell awaiting for his new captors to decide what they were going to use him for, with him were three other men who sat in various section's of the cell. Just as he was wondering about what that kid Duo was dragging his presious work of art Deathscythe into. His thougth were intruppted by a sudden tremor of the ship. Shortly after the door to the cell slowly opend up making the men inside look in surpise. All except Master O another one of the scientist that was waiting in the cell stood up. This man was a very tall, bald headed and well built for his age with dark tanned skin. The man's face looked like it was made out of stone. "It would appear the fates has given us another blessing."
"So it would seem genltmen. Now I kindly ask for you to follow us as we escape." a young sounding solider stepped into the room with the prisoner from before standing behind him armed with a machine gun.
Professor G narrowed his eyes at the suposed savior in question. "And who do I ask is the one letting us free?"
Lelouch smiled in his discuise. "My name is Zero. Now I do suggest we move out before this ship is sunk in the bottom of the ocean. Mister..."
Professor G simlied. "You can refer to me as Professor G for the time being, now by all means lets head out."
(Skip)
Leouch was sitting in the passenger side of a large APC they and gained from a couple of unsuspecting soilders who were no longer needing it. They were now using it to transport rest of the group they had freed away from the choas going on. The sounds of gunfire filled the area behind them as the barge was slowly sinking into the water. The Brittianian's were exchanging fire with something unknown. The truck was speeding past the entrance of the harbor smashing through the wooden stop gate as they made their get away.
"So where are we heading to kid?" the man driving the truck asked making Lelouch turn and look at him.
"Just keep on this road for a couple of blocks then head to the right. Just be sure to avoid any patrol's. We come to far to be caught now Dausuke." Leouch spoke to his new driver.
As they moved down the road a sutherland spotted them speeding away from the harbor and gave case.
"YOU THERE STOP YOUR VECHICLE AT ONCE!" as he yelled this another Sutherland notice the APC heading away and they both gave chase.
"Great! They spotted us now what do we do?!" Dausuke yelled out as he avoided gunfire from the knightmare's tailing them.
"Just stick to what I said! I handle them!" Lelouch steadied himself as Dausuke swerved the APC to round the corner. Lelouch spotted the building he hide the Epyon at and moved to get ready as they moved closer.
"Handle them with WHAT kid those are knightmares back there!" Dausuke yelled out
'Trust me I got something better." said Lelouch as he jumped from the door and rolled out making Dausuke yell at the daredevil. The two Sutherlands passed him by as they keep chase with the Apc not seeing the Lelouch hop out.
"Damn it! What the hell is that kid thinking?!" Dausuke yelled out as he move to avoid another volly of gun fire only to have a bullet struck the side of the Apc making it spin and come to a sudden stop, shaking Dasuke around. "Shit Now They Caught Us!" he yelled out he looked to see the Sutherlands approaching.
"Step out of your vechile now or we will shoot to kill!" the Sutherlands slowed down and aimed their guns making Dausuke sweat in fear as they moved closer. He knew that if he started now him and the others would be dead before they even moved.
(Well I just hope my wife is ready to meet me early.) He then spotted a shadow move behind the Sutherlands making him raise a eyebrow.
Then a pair of green eyes blared to life as fist smacked the back of the first sutherland making it fly off down the road with its cockpit caved in. Its partner turned to fire at the new foe behind him.
"What the hell is that!" the pilot yelled out as he spotted a black and red demon looking machine glare at him as the bullets bounced of its armor.
The Gundam swung its whip at the smaller machine only for it dodge and move back as it continued firing. "Hah you got to try better then that bastard!" the Sutherland taunted as he moved out of the whips range watching the massive machine move to guard its face from the bullets.
"Your just some punk in a oversized toy!" his ego quickly went under as one of the landspinners explode on him. He looked back to see the gun on the apc firing at him, shortly after the Knightmare was shoulder rammed by Epyon as it was caught off guard. Lelouch smashed the smaller machine against a wall like a tin can. As he stepped back he looked to the crippled apc.
"Told you I had something better! Is every one alright in there?"
"Yeah no kidding. Everyone is fine here but how are we getting out of here? This thing is totaled." Dasuke spoke out
Lelouch look at the apc to see the dents along the exterior and the destroyed wheels proving it was in no fit to move. "Epyon will I be able to fly while carrying the others?".
(Affirmative. Thrusters will be more then sufficant in carrying armored transport. Moblie armor jet mode however will not be accessable while carrying object of that size.)
(Just what I needed to hear.) he then moved the gundam up next to the vechile and picked it up. "You guys better hold on cause we're about to be air born!" Lelouch said as he cradled the vechile saftly in its arms then the thruster came to life and blast away from to the harbor. As he flew through the air Lelouch activated his radio again. "This is Zero here are you hearing me?"
"Loud and clear. I'm getting some crazy chatter on the comss did you manage to get the those guys out."
"More then than I got over half of the prisoners right in hands so to speak! I hope you got room for them."
"Heh plenty just you get those guys out here already."
(skip old air field)
As the Epyon landed it set the apc onto the ground and kneeled down. Lelouch signed as he lean back in his seat in excustion.
(Man I'm tired. I'm not cut out for this. After this is done I'm spending the the whole day with nunnally.. Right after I wake up from my dream coma.) Then a sudden shake drew his attention as he spun around to what had cause it. What he saw make him gasp in surpise. There stood a machine just as tall as his Epyon but instead of wings, claws and a whip this thing had a massive double barrel weapon on its right arm. As he looked at its features he noticed something off about this new machine. (That thing looks just like my Gundam! Who is he and what does he want?)
"You won't escape this time Zechs! I'll make sure you won't leave here alive!" a male voice sounded from this new Gundam as it moved into a battle stance aiming it's main weapon right at Lelouch making the dark haired teen narrow his eyes.
(Zechs? Whats he talking about?) Lelouch thought as he moved to defend the apc and the old airfield hanger. (Whoever he is I can't let him kill Proffessor G and the others.) Epyon moved into a battle ready stance as it positoned itself to defend the others. Lelouch gripped his head in pain as his eyes turned a little red when the Zero system finally started to kick in. (/ If you want a fight I'll give you one! Analysize Target./)
(Affirimative. Gundanium alloy detected. Armaments ballistic ammunition, ballistic missile's conformed)
Epyon withdrew a sword hilt and brought it up level with its with the other Gundam. After several seconds a bright green flash showed the Large energy sword coming to life making the Epyon look like it was eager for battle. (/Threat level conformed commencing destruction./)
The world became quiet as these two Gundams stared each other down weapon primed and ready to kill. A small gust of wind passed by adding a bit more seriousness to this supposed mexican stand off. The Epyon eyes seemed to narrow as it dashed at its new foe with its sword high over its head as bullets flew past its head.
(story end)
Who is this mysterious new Gundam standing before Lelouch. And what are the secrets Mister Z, Professor G and Master O hold about these powerful machine's. Will Lelouch ever get home in time to tuck in Nunally. The answers will be revealved in the next chapter of Code Epyon- Gundam Fight! Ready! Go!
Wow this chapter was a lot of fun to write but like I said I accidentally been putting it off cause of well life. Anyway I wish to say sorry for not paying you guys any attention when you send your pm's to me. Also if you guys are wondering no one saw Lelouch face and yes professor G, Doktor s, Instructor H and Master O are the same guys who created the gundam's in the show Gundam Wing. Where Dr.J is will be reveailed later on in the story I won't spoil you guys on that you'll just have to wait. Oh and like before feel free to point out mistakes and we will fix them later on. Have a good summer guys.
