PFGWE 0005, March 12th,4:47pm, La bresse
The van had arrived to La bresse about 10 minutes ago and are now moving along a road that had a sign saying 'DANGER, OFF LIMITS'
Which didn't suprise Brad, Jeremy and dereck. Since it was kinda obvious that the road lead to their HQ. Because, who the heck put's up a sign saying 'DANGER, OFF LIMITS' in literally the third most organised resistance in the country. Since that could also raise suspicions from the administration government
"I have to say, that was clearly not a great move" Jeremy said flatly
"What do you mean Atlantican?" Said Arnold with a brow raised
"I meant about that sign on the road, won't it raise suspicion with the administrated government" Jeremy told Arnold
"Well, that sign was just recent since we are planning on moving bases and we don't want anyone to interfere with our moving operations" Arnold told Jeremy
To which the trio facepalmed
"You guy's are idiots you know that" Brad exclaimed to which Arnold turns around to the window in embarresment
"You got that right, even I pointed how stupid that was" Blaise spoke in perfect english with a french accent which suprised the trio and the trio turned their faces to him with their suprised face's "What?"
"What!?" Dereck shouted with his suprise still in his face "That's what you say to us, when you just start talking in english after all this time" Dereck complained
"Well I did planning on revealing the fact I speak perfect english during our game of go fish, But I decided 'nah let's wait and surprise them', and here you are surprised" Blaise had a smug on his face after the explanation"And it was worth it"
"Come on man, You know that I don't speak french and it could've been really easy to play go fish with the others since Jeremy could've had a much more better time on telling me french numbers" Brad complained even more
Blaise sighs in annoyance "Like I care" Blaise say's cooly after turning his face to the other side and starts whistling
"Why you little-" Brad tried to say something before Arnold interfered and said
"Language Bradley"
Brad flinched "Sorry sir" Brad said reluctantly
Arnold sighed and he look's in front and say's "We're here"
They came in front of of a mountain which looked to be used by the french military
"Let us guess there's a secret entrance that opens to the base" The trio said at the same time
"yes" Arnold said reluctantly annoyed
"Like in the TV shows huh, Atlantican" Blaise said with a smug face
The trio ignored his comment as they were still annoyed by him not revealing the fact he knows english
The van soon entered a cave and as they drove a little bit into the cave they stopped at a metal door that was in peak condition. They soon stop in front of the door and on the drivers side there was a biometric keypad, Later the driver entered the password onto the biometric keypad and the door infront of them lifted up and opened the door and they start driving once again
"The password is the day when Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor" Arnold revealed to the trio, and the trio turned their face's to Arnold
"Is it a good idea to reveal us the password to your base" Jeremy asked Arnold
Arnold shrugged and said "Who knows"
Jeremy sighed in disappointment as Arnold just revealed them the password to their base
"But I have feeling you aren't going to tell anyone" Arnold said
To which Jeremy just grinned
"We'll see" Jeremy thought to himself
Later they now have know entered the base compound there the trio saw a lot of people rushing left and right as if they were in a rush
"This is strange" Arnold pointed out to himself
Brad raised a brow and said "What do you mean?, didn't you say that you guys are moving bases"
Arnold shaked his head and explained why "I did, but we were supposed to be moving in about three weeks. But everyone here looks like their getting ready to move next week"
"Oh, that is strange" Brad replied
Arnold nodded then face towards the driver "Vincent, arrête le van" Arnold spoke to the driver
Vincent nodded in to Arnold's order and stopped the van. After the van stopped Arnold opened the window and took his head and arm out
"Oii vous grongez, venir ici" Arnold called out to one of the soldiers
The soldier turned towards Arnold and starts to point at himself and says "Moi?"
"Oui" Arnold replied
The soldier rushed over to where Arnold is "Que a-t-il monsieur?" the soldier asked
"Pense à me dire ce qui se passe" Arnold ordered the soldier
"Les britanniques ont déjà découvert notre emplacement" The soldier replied
Arnold flinched in surprise. He clenched his jaw, which worried the soldier and everyone onboard the van
"Si c'est le cas, désolé de t'avior interrompu gamin" Arnold replied to the soldier with a worrying smile
"Ne vous inquiétez pas monsieur" The soldier assured Arnold and salute's to him and immediately runs of back to what he was doing before
"Conduire Victor" Arnold told Victor
Victor nodded in acknowledgment
soon after the van starts moving Dereck started saying
"So whats going on?"
"The brits have found us sooner than expected" Arnold replied
Brad and Dereck were suprised while Jeremy remained unfazed
"Then why haven't they attacked yet?, if they have found you wouldn't they have attacked by now" Brad asked loudly
"Are you an idiot Brad" Jeremy replied, like with out a care in the world
"Why are you calm at a time like this Jeremy" Brad asked Jeremy
As Jeremy was about to open his mouth, Blaise starts talking first
"Thats because, they are gathering their forces and supplies you idiot"
"What do you mean Blaise?" Brad asked Blaise
"Are you really that dumb?" Blaise exclaimed in a bored tone
"Why you" Brad said in a annoyed yet angered tone while slowly raising his fist
Blaise chuckled "Look, if you had just gotten information that you have found the enemy's command center, Whats the first thing you do?" Blaise asked Brad
"Why, Prepare the troops and attack" Brad replied still annoyingly mad
"Well your partly correct" Blaise exclaimed
"Then what else do you need to do?, huh" Brad asked
"Organising the troops is one thing and making operation plans, since it is literally the first thing you need to do before when starting a raid" Arnold pointed out flatly
Brad flinched at Arnolds point and is dumbfounded
"And if you don't do these things you are probably gonna end up sending people to their deaths and their high command is gonna be busy attending funeral services and we don't want to hear people complain at you for the death of their loved one's right" Blaise says cooly with a smug grin
Brad starts to blush in embarrassment, he puts his hand on the back of his head and starts rubbing it "I think I see your point now" Brad said embarrassingly
Everyone sighs sympathetically
"Oh you poor thing" Blaise says quietly
March 12th, Paris, Government Bureau, 5:18pm
"As I just said the Paris local police were dispatched to take care of riot at the Arc De Triomphe, Sainte-Chaplle and the Panthéon" Said the Paris police chief to Nathan who looked to understand the situation while Kelly stood nearby unsatisfied by the police chief's response
"All right I understand, but tha-" Nathan tried to explain before being cutting off by Kelly
"That doesn't explain why you couldn't send in at least a few officer's" Kelly complained
"There's an explanation for that colonel" The police chief said nervously
"Than explain then" Kelly demanded from Nathan and Crossed her arms across her chest "Well, I'm waiting"
"We are understaffed" The police chief said
"That's your excuse!?" Kelly said baffled
The police chief put his hand on the back of his head. Meanwhile Nathan gave a tired sigh to Kelly
"Colonel what the chief is saying is true" Nathan backed the chief with his excuse while crossing his arms across his chest and turning towards the side. Kelly meanwhile turned towards Nathan shocked and confused
"You can't be serious, right" Kelly asked in disbelief
"I'm afraid what my nephew said is actually true colonel" said a mysterious voice flatly
Everyone turned to see who it was, the police chief and Nathan were surprised to see who it was, the police chief clenched his jaw while Nathan was hesitating to smile when he saw who it was and Kelly recognised the woman at once and had a nervous look on her face. everyone immediately started to stand straight once she gives a small cough
"Aunt Alicia what are you doing here back in Francia so early" Nathan asked his Aunt who scoffed at him, to which Nathan formed a fist but refrained himself
"It's none of concern but since you asked" Alicia told her nephew coldly "The meeting I had with his majesty king Charles zi Britannia finished earlier, than expected"
"I see, I suppose I'm not to know of the meeting you had with his majesty correct?" Nathan asked his aunt flatly
"Only the viceroy herself" Alicia replied "Now then I'm to meet with the viceroy, in the meanwhile the police chief of the surrender lovers can go back to his duties" Alicia said which made the chief growl at her words
"Very well then, aunt Alicia" Nathan said coolly while refraining his anger
Alicia nodded and left the room to the viceroy office
"Why that bitch!" Nathan slammed the wall with his fist
"You could say that again" The chief agreed with Nathan while he was crossing his arms across his chest
"If I had to take a guess that would be, miss Alicia lohmeyer A.K.A the bitch" Kelly asked the two in a sympathetic tone
"Not only that, she is my aunt" Nathan added which made Kelly give a sympathetic sigh
"As much as I hate Britannia occupying France, I hate that bitch even more" The chief added still pissed
"You got that right" Nathan agreed with the chief
"I'm going to be leaving if you don't mind, and to answer your question colonel colt, it's because no Frenchmen or women would serve Britannia as they have been our sworn rival in history and the alliance we had during the middle ages was just to combat the Germans, so we don't have an obligation towards the Brits" The chief explained
"I understand that, but they can't resort to terrorism" Kelly exclaimed
The chief sighed "There are also the intellectual resistance movements ma'am" The chief pointed out "The groups may seem harmless by using literature and poetry, yet they are and surprisingly affective"
"Not exactly" Nathan said flatly
"What do you mean?" Both Kelly and the chief asked Nathan
Nathan sighed "During Korea's time as a colony to the first Japanese empire" Kelly gritted her teeth when she heard the name of the Japan "there were various resistance groups, the most effective being the intellectual movements, they were quite effective in lifting Korean patriotism this in result created more unrest and increase for Korean independence among the young, who in turn may join other resistance groups as well"
The chief was shocked by this information "So what you are saying is that these intellectual movements are more dangerous than we think" The chief asked Nathan
Nathan nodded in return
The chief gave tired sigh "You just gave me a lot of paperwork to deal with young boy"
Nathan gave a nervous chuckle to that response
"Well then I'm off" With that the chief leaves the room with the door's closed
"So, when am I to meet with the viceroy?" Kelly asked Nathan after the chief left
"Well it was scheduled for her to meet you at 1:00 o'clock, but we were on high-speed chase during that time" Nathan nervously added and turned to see Kelly's raged and anger filled face
"I see" Kelly said flatly and turned head to the other side
"You have a crush on Brad don't you" Nathan said with smug on his face
The comment made Kelly blush red as a tomato, she puts her hand on the back of her neck and starts laughing in embarrassment "What are you talking about!?"
Well I mean I seen my fair share of people who starts constantly getting worried for their 'Friends'" Nathan said while still giving a smug face
Kelly sighs in defeat "Alright, you win I do have a crush on him" Kelly confessed which just made Nathan smirk in amusement "Aren't you gonna start making fun of me for having a crush on Brad" Kelly asked Nathan
"I ain't gonna be one of those guys OK" Nathan said while showing his hands to calm her down "Besides, I know how you feel" Nathan Confessed to Kelly which surprise's Kelly
"Well I guess we both have something in common" Kelly said while twirling a lock of her hair with her finger
"I guess so" Nathan gave a small smile
Later Alicia came back to the room to which they turn around to face her "Colonel Colt, the viceroy request your presence, along with major Acheson" Alicia told the two
"Very well then" Nathan replies to Alicia flatly, he then turns his face towards Kelly "This way, Colonel" Nathan tells Kelly
Kelly nods and the two of them head left the room and headed toward the viceroy office, while Alicia heads toward another room
With lohemeyer in the room
Inside the room were ministers and other government officials who were all seated in rectangular table
"So what was it that His majesty wanted that so called princess to do" Asked man 1
"It wasn't as to exactly to do something regarding Francia, so to speak" Alicia says after she sits down on one of the empty chairs
"What do you mean?" Asked man 2 to Alicia
"He wanted her to go Dublin, to convince princess Euphemia to return to London for her date with the Atlantican Fuhrer's nephew David" Alicia said while adjusting her glasses
"That's it, nothing about her policies towards the surrender monkeys" Said man 3 as he slammed the table with his fist
"Unfortunately" Alicia said with disappointment
"But you did tell your concerns, right?" Asked man 2
"I did, but he just brushed it off as mundane" Alicia said
"That does it!, we have to take matter's into our own hands" Said man 3
"Patience, minister Gordon, we will be able to get rid of the viceroy's policies if we follow my plan" Alicia assured everyone
"Will it work though, we still have to make sure he doesn't come" Man 1 said
"Don't fret, that boy love's his sister more than anything in the world, but like any other leader, king or president they will surely be busy with politics especially during a cold war" Alicia assured everyone
"Let's hope you are right" Man 1 said
With Nathan and Kelly
Kelly and Nathan had just arrived in front of the doors of the viceroy's office. Nathan knocks on the door two times
"Who is it?" Said a cherry feminine voice
"It's me" Nathan responded
"Come in" The voice said flatly
Nathan opens the door and the two of them enter to see the viceroy herself sitting down on her chair in a small work table wearing a dark purple jacket with golden buttons, black sleeves and breast pocket, and a dark purple business skirt, white knee high socks and black shoes
The viceroy turns around to Nathan and Kelly's and direction, and faces towards jelly and starts introducing herself "Hello there colonel Colt I am viceroy Nunnally vi Britannia the 87th in line for the throne" Nunnally says and bows down a little with her hands in front
Kelly does the the same instead keeping her hands to her side "It's an honor to meet you, your highness" She says and gave out a small smile to Nunnally
Nunnally in return gives a smile, she then turns to Nathan who is just sitting down and leaning on the couch lazily with both of his elbows on top of the couch with his legs crossed and looks at him with her eye's closed and with half smile while hidding her frustration of how carefree his being
"So Nathan, care to explain why you are late?" Nunnally asked Nathan
Nathan starts getting nervously afraid of her attitude "well umm.." Nathan starts rubbing the back of his neck and starts explaining his reason for being late "...We both met an old childhood friend of ours"
Nunnally gets more frustrated "But that doesn't explain why you came late now, huh, dose it" Nunnally asked unconvinced by Nathan's excuse "And what do you mean by you both met a childhood friend?" Nunnally questioned
"Well it surprised me to know that major Acheson was a childhood friend of his" Kelly explained to the viceroy
The viceroy turns towards Kelly "Oh you didn't know that Nathan was an old friend of his?" Nunnally asked Kelly in confusion
Kelly nods in response
"I see" Nunnally turns back towards Nathan "Well, did anything else happen for why you came late?" Nunnally questioned Nathan
"Well, would you believe us if we said that he got kidnapped? along with two other people" Nathan asked Nunnally
"No" Nunnally replied thinking that Nathan was just joking
Both Nathan and Kelly starts rubbing their necks and went silent
Nunnally was getting more annoyed and frustrated, but at the same time confused as she thought Nathan was joking about the fact that his friend got kidnapped. It took her awhile to finally acknowledged the fact that Nathan was actually telling the truth
"You, seriously weren't joking?" Nunnally questions both Nathan and Kelly
"Yes" Both of them replied nervously
"So, is he an important person to be kidnapped?" Nunnaly asked the both of them
"No" Both of replied which confuses Nunnally
"And weirdly enough, the kidnappers had happened to the FLF" Kelly added which confuses Nunnally even more
"Are you certain that it was FLF that kidnapped your friend?" Nunnally wanted to confirm
"Well, apart from the fact that they had military grade weapons no, we still aren't sure, but we believe it to be the case" Nathan explains to Nunnally
"I see"Nunnally says with her hand on her forehead "Well in any case we have to get to business" Nunnally says to everyone, to which Kelly gets furious
"What!" Kelly shouts
Nathan sighs at her response while Nunnally remains unfazed
"Someone has just been kidnapped and all you could say is lets get to business" Kelly complains
"I'm not saying that, and I can assure you I have already the perfect person in mind to find your friend" Nunnally assures Kelly "And also we have more important things at hand here, so it's best if we focus on the matter at hand"
Kelly is taken aback by the viceroy's words as she begins to remember why she was sent to Francia in the first place, to end the FLF "Right, I forgot viceroy, forgive my rude behaviour earlier" Kelly asked Nunnally for forgiveness for her rude tone
"Oh don't worry, it's how anyone would react" Nunnally said with a smile
"I agree viceroy" Kelly then crosses her arms across her chest and asks Nunnally "Also Viceroy, who is going to be leading the investigation?"
"Margrave Jeremiah Gottwald" Nunnally tells Kelly
Kelly immediately after hearing that name tries to hold back her laughter
"You mean the famous Orange boy" kelly asks Nunnally
"Indeed" Nunnally confirms Kelly with a smirk
"I guess it's all in good hands then right?" Kelly asks still holding back her laughter
"Don't worry, if Nunnally asks him to do something he will do it, since he was one of Nunnally's mothers biggest fans and admirers" Nathan assures Kelly
"Good to know" Kelly says relief "But, I do have to ask viceroy?" Kelly turns to Nunnally who gets confused
Kelly starts to roll her fingers and starts blushing a little embarrassed on what she is gonna ask "Can you tell me the reason why Sir Jeremiah is called Orange boy?" Kelly asks Nunnally
To which both Nathan and Nunnally starts laughing, while Kelly blush became more redder after her question
"And why do you want to know that colonel?" Nunnally asks Kelly after she calm downed a bit from her laugh
"Well um, I just wanted to know" Kelly starts to explain "Why a man, like him with such a good combat record could get a stupid nickname as 'Orange boy'"
Nunnally laughed to that statement and started to explain
"Well long story short, he got that name because, when he first started as a guard for my mother, he brought a box full of orange's with him, my brother who liked to give nickname's to people he like, called him orange boy, and soon everyone in my mother's royal guard unit started calling him that, including my mother" Nunnally laughed a little after remembering all the time's her mother would call Jeremiah orange boy at any opportunity she got, and surprisingly Cornelia as well joined in on the fun
Kelly after hearing that story tried holding back her laughter "So all of that happened because, sir Jeremiah brought a box orange's as a gift"
"Why yes, and since his family owned a orange farm in wales it was pretty convenient" Nunnally added
Kelly bursts into luaghter after hearing that last statement
"Now then, back to business" Nunnally stiffens herself up
Kelly stiffens up a bit. While Nathan starts to sit straight instead and uncrossed his legs
"Nathan" Nunnally turns he head towards Nathan "Pack you things we are headed to Ireland"
Nathan is suprised by what Nunnally said "Why is that, viceroy?"
"To convince my sister Euphemia to return to London" Nunnally answered Nathan
Nathan then remembers that princess Euphemia is in control of Dublin "Oh right, I forgot she is engaged to David winston" Nathan said bitterly and both of them go silent
Kelly in the meanwhile gets confused, she does know that her nation's führer did propose a marriage between his nephew and princess Euphemia, but she was confused as to why she had to return to London
"I'm sorry, but" Kelly starts speaking, which gains the attention of Nathan and Nunnally "Can someone explain to me whats going on?"
"Well, umm, how do I explain this" Nathan struggled
Nunnally sighed and gave Kelly an answer
"My half sister Euphemia, dosen't want to get married to David"
"Wait, WHAT!!" Kelly shouted
FLF Headquarters, La bresse
"This is where you will be staying, for the time being" Arnold told Brad, Jeremy and Derek
The trio took one look at their room, and were surprised to see how nice and clean it is
"I'm surprised" Jeremy said which gained Arnold's attention
"About what" Arnold questioned Jeremy
"About how nice and clean this room is" Jeremy answered Arnold
"Oh, I guess that's true considering how in popular media they are shown to be quite unclean" Arnold explained "But since a majority of our forces are living in the base, I suppose we have to make it feel like home"
"I guess so" Jeremy replied
"Regarde le chemin" A femininie voice shouted
Jeremy turned to see who it was that shouted out, but instead he gets a box dropped on his head. Luckily the box wasn't filled with any heavy equipment
"What the hell!" Jeremy screamed out
"Are you all right Jeremy?" Brad asked Jeremy
Jeremy calmed down after a few seconds "Yeah I'm fine" Jeremy assured Brad and everyone else
"Oh sorry, monsieur" The girl said nervously. The girl had long french pink hair that went down her shoulders, she also had emerald green eye's and was wearing a worned up navy blue military uniform with trousers
"It's fine I guess, since you warned me beforehand" Jeremy assured the girl
"Oh thank goodness" The girl calmed down
Jeremy immediately recoginsed that she speaks english and turns towards and asks her "You know english?"
"Why, oui" The girl replied with a smug
"Esmée!" A voice called out
The trio looked and Arnold looked forward to see who it was while the girl turned around to see who it was aswell
"Oh, Blaise!" The girl said revealing herself to be Esmée and immediately goes towards Blaise
"Hey there, lil sis" Blaise said and pats Esmée's head
"Wait a minute, that chicks you lil sister!" Derek shouted out loud
"Yes mr hoffman, that is lieutenant Blaise's sister" Arnold confirmed Derek
"Well" Derek spoke up first "Your sister's, hot"
This made both Brad and Jeremy turn to Derek in horror, Arnold sighed in annoyance
"Well, she is my sister, of course she is beaut" Blaise said coolly
The trio turned to Blaise in shock, since Blaise didn't even get mad like some brother's do, but Blaise outrightly took that as a compliment
"Yeah, like my brother said" Esmée said in a cheerful voice
The trio was even more surprised, that Esmée didn't just say that she is more beautiful than him
"But anyways" She turns to Blaise "So what did you want to see me for?" Esmée questions Blaise
"Can't an older brother just check up on his lil sister" Blaise replied
Esmée was annoyed by his reply but she didn't bother complaining
"Well, as you can see, I'm fine" Esmée answers Blaise
"Well thats good to know" Blaise replied with a smile on his face
"Well except for that guy on the floor" Esmée pointed to Jeremy
Blaise turned to Jeremy with brow raised "What happened to you?" Blaise asked Jeremy
"Some boxes fell on my head" Jeremy answered Blaise
"Oh ok" Blaise says coolly as if nothing really bad happened
Jeremy gets annoyed by Blaise statement
"Liuetenant Arnold!" A soldier called out Arnold
Everyone turned to see who called Arnold. They turn to see Jean running towards them panting in his blue French military uniform
"Oh Jean" Arnold turns to Jean who stopped running towards them after he stops in front of Arnold and starts catching up some air "Qu'est ce que t'améne ici" Arnold asks him in French
After Jean catch's up on some air he turns up to face Arnold "Le commandant veut le voir" Jean points to Brad to which everyone turns to Brad
Brad points a finger at himself "Me?"
Arnold was glaring at Brad seriously "Si tôt?" Arnold asked Jean
Jean nods "Oui"
Arnold sighs in dissapointment "Dites-lui qu'il arrivera dans 10 minutes" Arnold tells Jean
"Immendiatment" Jean acknowledges and runs back the way he came from
"So, what was that all about?" Brad asked Arnold
Arnold turns towards him "Well you are going to be meeting with the leader of the FLF" Arnold say's in english
Everyone especially Brad was shocked from the revealation "Wait so I'm meeting with the leader of the FLF" Brad asks Arnold still in shock
"Well in 10 minutes you are" Arnold says deadpanned
"Seriously Brad, are you related to a French spy" Derek continue's to ask the question he told Brad back in the van
"For the last time, I am not related to a French spy, Brad keeps giving the same answer annoyingly "Besides my mom is Mexican and from what I'm told me, my dads Irish, so there's no way I'm related to a French spy"
"Wait your half-Irish and half-Mexican" Blaise said in surprise and in confusion
"Yeah it's a weird combo, but thats not the point" Brad exclaimed annoyed
"You will all be informed later on, why we kidnapped your friend here" Arnold assure's everyone "In the meantime, Brad should get ready to meet with the commander of the FLF"
Brad tensed up at the thought of meeting with the leader of the largest resistance movement in all Francia. From what he heard the commander of the FLF was a skilled strategist in every sense and is very experienced due to the war 5 years ago, but his specialty is gurrilla warfare as his gurrilla tactic's are extremely effective that gave him the title of the second Jean Moulin
"And don't worry" Arnold tryed to relieve Brad "After your meeting with commander you will be getting your answers from him" Arnold tensed up from that
"I'm, sorry" Jeremy spoke up "But who is him" Jeremy asked curiously
"You will find out soon enough" Arnold answers Jeremy
"So what am I suppossed to do when I meet up with the commander?" Brad asked Arnold so he knows what to do and not do
"The commander will only just ask you a bunch of questions" Arnold told Brad "After that you will meet him"
Brad gulped "Alright then"
"Very well" Arnold said satisfied with Brads answer "Blaise will escort you to the commanders office"
"Huh, Why me?" Blaise asks Arnold, annoyed by the fact he has to show Brad the way to the commanders office
"Well you are already here aren't you" Arnold pointed out, which only annoyed Blaise even more, Blaise started to pout and put his hands on the back of his head
"And, you have been slacking around a lot, so I will be giving you some more assignments"
Blaise bit his tongue in defeat "Yes sir" Blaise saluted
"Good, and remember send him to the commanders office in 10 minutes" Arnold reminds Blaise and goes back toward the compound to help with the moving
"So let me properly introduce myself" Esmée said, which made everyone turned their attention to Esmée "I am Esmée beuafoy, I'm part of the French Mobile Suit corps"
"Wait, your a MS pilot" Jeremy asked Esmée
"Why yes, I am" Esmée replied proudly with her chest puffed up
"How good is she" Derek asked Blaise
"Good enough to be an ace" Blaise replied laisly "But thats due to 7 years of experience"
This news shocked to everyone, not only is she an ace but she has 7 years of experience while they only had 2 years of experience in their belt, due to it being mandatory in college to pilot a mobile suit, as Atlantican law at the time was becoming more militaristic then before
"How old are you!!" Derek asked loudly as he is still surprised that she has 7 years of experience while looking so young
"It's not nice to ask a lady her age" Esmée pointed out, as she gets annoyed when someone mentions how young she is, Blaise just looks at her annoyance, with an amused smile on his face
"But if you must know I'm 23 years old going to be 24 in 2 months"
"Wait you are the same age as us!?" Jeremy said shockingly
"And you were only 17 yeats old at the time" Derek added
"The age of enlistment in the French Empire was 16 so that check's out" Blaise explained to the trio
The duo was stilled stunned at the fact, that someone as the same age as them already has 7 years of piloting an MS
Meanwhile Brad was looking at Esmée as if seen her somewhere before "Strange, she exactly looks like that girl from that hallucination or rather vision I got 5 years ago" Brad thought to himself, he is now confused at this point, first Jeremy and Derek who happened to look exactly as the same two people in the Vision he had 5 years ago and now Esmée. He felt something big is going to happen after this meeting
Paris, Nathans apartment, 5:46
Nathan had just returned back to his apartment, from the government bureau. He hadn't been back in his apartment for about 2 weeks, due to the FLF being so active, especially today. The FLF had just kidnap Brad, his first best friend. No one knows why the FLF had kidnapped him, but he did, he knew why they had kidnap them
"That's right, Brad's a NEW-TYPE" Nathan thought to himself.He knew ever since that day, after the 634 bombings of Dublin, instigated by the Celtic Liberation Army. No one believed Brad at first, even Nathan didn't believe him, but he he started acting strange though after that day he started saying things as talking to ghosts, reading people's heads and seeing the future. Nathan started to believe Brad is a NEW-TYPE, even more so, after learning about them in the military
Nathan shakes his head "In any-case I must make sure if he is the one behind all of this" Nathan thought to himself as he starts take of his jacket, untucked his T-shirt, uncuffed his cuffs and unbuttons the top button of his T-shirt. He then lies down on the bed with his hands on the back of his head and looks above his ceiling. He starts remembering the day when he met Brad and the day he met Nunnally
He then gets up, and takes his phone and dialed in the number. The number was ringing. The ringing stopped and the number picked up the phone
"Hello" The man from the phone said
"It's me, Jeremiah" Nathan told Jeremiah
"Lord Nathan, If this is about the investigation on your friend who got kidnapped by the FLF, I assure you I already am on the case" Jeremiah assured Nathan "I just need to contact some old friends of mine to help"
"No, it's not about that Jeremiah" Nathan told Jeremiah, tiredly
"Then, what is it?" Jeremiah asked curiously
"I want you to investigate if he was apart of the kidnapping today" Nathan's voice sounded serious
"Your not saying that, he would be a part of a random kidnapping of a friend" Jeremiah said as if he knew who Nathan was talking about. And he was also quite offended that this person they are speaking of, as if Jeremiah knew the man personally "Besides, what could he possibly gain from this boy?" Jeremiah questioned Nathan
"Another of his kind" Nathan answered
Jeremiah gasped in shock "Your not saying that..that...this boy is a NEW-TYPE?" Jeremiah asked Nathan
"Yes" Nathan answered Jeremiah in a cold and serious voice
"How are you so sure?" Jeremiah asked another questioned, demandingly, unsure if Nathan was telling the truth or not
"The 634 bombings of Dublin" Nathan started to explain "No one knew that there were any bombs being planted, since they were all random location's and especially not on st.patrick's day"
"Yes that's correct, that was also the reason for the destruction of the CLA, as the Irish Council of National Defense, after the bombings, decided to pass the bill for the pseudo-GN drives, to give to the anti-terrorist unit of the military, stationed in Ireland, the National Ulster Defense Leigon" Jeremiah explained "But that dosen't explain anything"
"He knew" Nathan said in a melodramatic tone
Jeremiah flinched on the other side of the phone"What do you mean?" Jeremiah asked Nathan, confused about what he meant
"A bomb exploded in front of his house, when he lived in Ireland" Nathan started explaining "And he told me that it was going to explode and later the news on the T.V talked about the bombings. he also said that they were also going to explode"
Jeremiah on the other side of the phone, gasped in shock as bombings happened 16 years ago, and by then Nathan and his friend would have been 8 years old, and the bomb exploded right in front of his friends home
"And after that he started talking about, talking to ghosts, and before you say anything Jeremiah, he gave me their names, their full names" Nathan stated, which shock's Jeremiah even more, on the other side of the phone "And, they were actual names, of actual people"
Silence came between the two, as Jeremiah was still in shock of this revelation. Jeremiah later breaks the silence between the two
"What...were those people's...names sir Nathan?" Jeremiah asked Nathan nervously reluctant, Nathan's reaction suggested he didn't have a good experience, when he was figuring out that his friend is a NEW-TYPE, since if someone was discovered to be a NEW-TYPE, they will be taken away and sent to the military, to be made into a living weapon
The United Japanese Empire is an example of this, just before the accension of the 179th emperor, Takehito Kubo, the Empire was a dystopian soceity, the overseas colonies of the empire were losing autonomy as it was going through Nipponification, meaning the Japan was Trying to replace and convert the natives of their colonies. The current ruling emperor of Japan at the time, emperor Aiko Tsukumo, was a ultra-nationalist, he believed that it was Japan's destiny to rule the world and quite possibly the universe, and he believed in the NEW-TYPE theory by Zeon Zum Deikun.
The NEW-TYPE theory, was proposed by Zeon Zum Deikun in PTGWE 380, in the Germanicistan colony of Gjallarhorn 3, 40 years after the creation of the colonies. He believed as long as humanity continues to expand into space, all latent abilities will blossom in order to adapt to the great void and mankind will be able to understand each other without misconceptions
And he was right, humanity continued to expand into space, and all latent abilities began to blossom, but there were only small sizeable minorites of them found in the colonies, in the early years and still is today
Emperor Aiko wanted, no, desired for an army of NEW-TYPES, so that he can achieve the Greater Empire of the Rising Sun. The Greater Empire of the Rising Sun, was a name that emperor came up with, when the world was under Japan's heel
Under his reign, many children were taken away from their homes, mostly orphans, as he didn't want any public controversy against him, as he knew that an empire needs the support of the public or else they would start to rebel against him. The orphans were all sent to military facilities, to see if they had the NEW-TYPE ability. About 95% of all the children sent to the facilities died, due to all the experimentations conducted by Proffessor Todoro Miyanami, the man was known to be a mad scientist ever since he started learning about the NEW-TYPE theory, he was so obsessed with finding a NEW-TYPE he conducted inhumane experiments
These expermimentations were not only done by Japan, but other nations did the same. Just not as the same extent as Japan. The experiments and facilities were all shut down when emperor Takehito became emperor. And after his accenssion, he released all the information about the experiments conducted under his fathers rule
"Jacob saxon, Gideon carmichael, Jake jones, elizabeth carter and Alice haley" Nathan listed all the names "Those are all the names I remember"
" Wait, Gideon carmichael, as in the Gideon carmichael?" Jeremiah asked Nathan, exaggerated
"Yes, Gideon carmichael, the pilot of the YMS-02 royal BLAST" Nathan answered Jeremiah "The man who was nearly on par with the kinght of 1, Bismark waldestein and Lady Marrianne's former trainer"
"Ok, now that is strange. Considering how lord Gideon was born in england. But why go to Ireland"
"I found it strange after learning about the man. But there were some rumours about his former lover living in Ireland" Nathan pointed out
"I think that's a good explanation. If we knew the man that is" Jeremiah agreed
"Yeah"
Silence grew between Nathan and Jeremiah on the phone. Jeremiah is not a man who would believe things such as, a friend of his Idol's daughter's knight of honor. Jeremiah could at least understand why Nathan would be worried for his friend, if he was involved in this then there is a chance that Nathan's friend might be used as a soldier, and from the impression of Nathan's voice and concern, it seemed he wasen't a soldier
Jeremiah sighed on the other side of the phone "I'm not gonna say I don't believe you" Jeremiah assured Nathan, to which Nathan let out a breath of air in relief
"However, I will be giving your friend the benefit of the doubt, along with that theory of yours"
"That dosen't matter. Just make sure, about my theory"
"Very well then"
As Nathan was about to cut off the call. Jeremiah asks Nathan
"Also, is her highness alright?"
"Yes, she is fine Jeremiah, no need to worry. Besides I'm here" Nathan assures Jeremiah
"I guess thats true" Jeremiah chuckles"You are one of the youngest aces in Britannian history, sir Nathan"
"Of course, I am the son of Marvin acheson, the former knight of 7" Nathan say's coolly with a smirk
La bresse, FLF Headquarters
"Here we are, Bradley" Blaise says tiredly
Infront of both Brad and Blaise was the door to the room, of the leader of the France Liberation Front
Blaise looks as calm as tree. While Brad is sweating like crazy
"Nervous?" Blaise asks Brad
"Me, nervous no. I'm about to meet with a leader of a resistance organisastion, who is pretty much responsible for half the Francia state military to be in dissaray and not in good shape, all while using the worst outdated grunt mobile suit at present time, the GENOACE" Brad explained "It is so bad that the Japanese personally sent their own engineers to help the French with making a better mobile suit"
Blaise turned his head towards Brad with a agreeing look on his face. But he was also confused as to why he knows about the state of tge Britannian forces stationed in France "As I agree with your opinion on the GENOACE, but how do you know about the state of the Francian military?" Blaise questioned Brad
Brad sighed "When ever I get bored, I start reading about stuff thats going around the world, so it's kinda of understandable" Brad answered Blaise "And funnily enough, they were more intresting than my classes in college"
"I see" Blaise didn't see any lie in his answer, since he was kinda correct. The world had been quite intresting over the past few years, a matter of fact ever since end of the Indian ocean war and when president, or better known as Führer Theodore winston came in to power. Things have definetly been more intresting and deadly over the past few years "And how do you know the GENOACE?" Blaise asked Brad
Brad looked at Blaise, confused on why Blaise would tell him that question
"I mean, don't get me wrong. But I didn't take you for some who knows a lot about MS's" Blaise gave out his reason, to assure Brad
"Well lets see, I always been facinated by MS's" Brad said
Blaise raised a brow confused "What do you mean?"
"Well you may say it's just a giant robot, but to me it's something else" This confuses Blaise a little more "When I first saw the royal FLAG of the Britannian military on victory day, I was amazed. These machines created by humanity, were first said to be just slow, heavy and only used for land combat. But in PTGWE 150 the restoration revolution happened in Japan" Bliase was now, slowly starting to understand Brad a little "The restoration revolution. The revolution started after the outcomes of the failed economic policies, declining population and corruption within the state of Japan. This in turn caused the Imperial restoration alliance to revolt and start a coup in April 1st of the PTGWE 150 in the cities Kyoto, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Osaka, fukuoka, etc. Anyways back on topic, during the revolt the IRA was losing drastically in Kyoto as the Japanese self-defense forces focused most of their military, since it was where the revolt started. And during to what appeared to be end of the battle, beams of light shot from the sky destroying the JSDF GEN 1 Mobile suit's. At first people thought it was a miracle from heaven, but it wasen't a miracle from heaven, but a demon that had come to save them. Yes the RX-78-2 GUNDAM. The MS wasen't like the GEN 1 MS's it looked more human and it moved somewhat of a human. It was then the IRA started to win. The Gundam was seen as an demon to the JSDF, but to the IRA it was seen as a angel. Within just a month the revolution ended. Within a MONTH!" Brad highlighted "Never before in the history of humanity, has said that a machine can bring an end to a civil war with in just a month. Seriously who wouldn't be facinated" Brad say's calmly
Blaise understood a little on Brad. Like many he has a facination of Mobile suits, especially the later Gen's. It was understandable but, MS's are only used as weapons of war. Sure there are civillian mobile suits, but at the end of the day they are machines of war not machines of peace "But you do realise that MS's are machines of war, and from what I've seen your not someone who like's killing"
Brad shakes his head "No, I believe that these machines can be used, other than war. I plan on making an MS for the outer space intiative"
Blaise widens his eye's on what Brad said. The Outer Space Intiative (OSI), an intiative set on outer space exploration. It was created to find other life in the universe and colonisation. By the National Agency of Galactic Exploration (NAGE) formerly known as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
"I believe, that MS's can be used to acheive on space exploration. It can help to find life outside of earth. Mobile suits can probably be more than, giant war robots, they can probably be used for the science field" Brad continued to explain, enthusiatically
"You really believe in that? huh" Blaise cuts off Brad with that question
"Yes I truly do believe that" Brad replies with a small smile
At that moment, Blaise became interested in Brad. His determination for Mobile Suits to be used for things other than, military use is pretty great. Blaise can't help but smile at that
"Oh, so you want to make Mobile Suits into space exploration units" An unknown man with green hair behind them said in english with a french accent
Both Blaise and Brad get startled by the unknown man
"Hmm, what's wrong fellow camarades?" The man asked confused for why the duo were startled
"I don't know" Brad said sarcastically "Oh wait I do, you came out of nowhere and scared the shit out of us" Brad complained to the man. To which the man just tilted his head seemingly confused of the situation
Blaise in the meanwhile was looking in shock at the man. As if he knew who the man is
"Brad"
"What is it Blaise?"
"That's the commander you are talking to" Blaise told Brad
Brad's eyes widened in horror, as he just realised he insulted the commander of the FLF and the most wanted man in all of Francia. Brad gulped in fear
"If you are wondering if I am going to beat you up, for insulting me. I assure you we will lose 47% of our funding" The FLF leader assured Brad "And it's not within me to beat up someone as pathetic as you" The man teased
"Hey" Brad exclaimed, as he felt insulted
The man chuckled "Well, why don't we go inside, we have many things to discuss"
Brad then realised why he went along with the FLF. To get his answers "Yes sir"
"Well then, come inside" The man opened the door
Brad entered the room and the commander soon followed afterwards, while Blaise stayed back outside. So Blaise can take Brad back to his room with his friends
Inside the room
Brad and the commander of the FLF, entered the office. The ofgice was about the same size of a normal office room, it had dark blue walls, empty cabinets two chairs anf small office desk with a laptop. But Brad was weirded out by the big screen on side of him, as he wondered why he needed a screen so big
"So monsieur Bradley garcia, I hope you have seen your stay in Bastion ll have been to your liking?" The commander asked Brad
"Umm, yes" Brad replied after taking a look around the room "Sir, uhhh"
"Oh I forgot to introduce myself haven't I" The commander realised "Silly me" The commander then procceded to laugh at his mistake
Brad looked at the weirldy as he was not what he expected him to be "I thought I was supposed to be meeting the head of the largest and successful resistance movements in Francia? not some carefree green haired guy" Brad thought to himself
"Oh forgive me for that" The commander then sat down on his chair behind the desk "Allow me to introduce myself" he then puts his elbow on the table and rests his face on his hand "I am emperor Fitzgerald bonaparte, the commander and leader of the France Liberation Front"
It was at that moment Brad knew, he fucked up
Brad's face was filled with fear and shock in just a single second he is right now speaking with the emperor of France, royalty he was talking to royalty "Umm, it's an honor to meet you, your highness" Brad bowed down immediately
"No, no, no it is I who should he honored to meet someone as important as you monsieur Bradley" Fritzgerald replied
Brad stood up from his bow confused on what he meant "What do you mean, your majesty?" Brad asked with a brow raised
"You will find out soon enough, as I already sent a message to him after I was notified that you arrived here safely" Fritzgerald reply did not make Brad any paitent
After that, an awkward silence came between the two
"Well this is awkward" Both of them thought to themselves
"So, I have to ask" Brad speaks up to make conversation
Fritzgerald turns to Brad with a brow raised "What?"
"Well it's just I was curious, as to why the base is called Bastion ll?"
Fritzgerald was confused as to why Brad asked him that. But it was better than being in silenece "Well have a seat" Fritzgerald gestured to Brad
"Oh thank you sir" Brad sits down in front the former emperor
"Well lets see, it all started in Masiff mountains 3 and a half years ago. We were going through some trouble with the other resistance groups"
"Other resistance groups?" Brad said confused
"Yes, other resistance groups like the France red leigon, the France national socialist front, the knights of Bonaparte, the France Democratic army and so on" Fritzgerald explained
"Wait what about the Italian rebels?"
"The Free Italian army is still active, but they refuse to coperate with us" Fritzgerald say's with a disappointed sigh
"It's pretty understandable, considering Italy was just recently under France's heel" Brad pointed out
"Yes, we are aware of that" Fritzgerald told Brad "But the Italians are also on the same boat as us. The least they could do is give us some troop movements from the Witch of Britannia"
"Your referring to princess Cornelia" Brad asked
"Who else" Fritzgerald say's annoyed "Our allies from the German Resistance Front, have been losing some of their troops for a while and to honest it's concerning me"
"What do you mean?" Brad asked confused at what Fritzgerald meant concerning
"We got word that she is coming to France in a couple of days, after she's done with the GRF" Fritzgerald grimaced
"Of course she is" Brad said sympathetically, he understands what meant by 'Cornelia is coming'. Everyone knows of Britannia's warrior princess, as matter of fact even siberean tribes even heard of her, and they still believe that the Romanov's are still in power in Russia. Cornelia gained her reputation, during the Third gulf war between the United Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Iranian Federation. The war started after some disputes over Kuwait, as the nation or rather a international zone, under the leadership of various governments across the globe including Japan and Atlantica. During what appeared to be an Iranian victory, Cornelia and her infamous Glaston knights, took down about nearly a majority of the Iranian military invading Kuwait leading to the Federation to give up it's claims to the area, and recognise it as Saudi territory
"You got that right" Fritzgerald said
"Oh, what about the Polish revolutinary army?" Brad asked
"The PRA, while effective are not as active. As they don't have any Mobile Suits" Fritzgerald leans on the back of his chair
"Yeah, but how come they don't have MS's? I mean Germanicistan had MS's" Brad asked
"Don't know, probably because, of the German military actually having good security" Fritzgerald explained
Brad also knew what the Frenchman meant by good security. During the occupation of New Guinea by the Japanese in the Indian ocean war, some Oceanian soldiers were able to get about all the MS's and killed all the troops in a military base. And that was a pretty big humiliation for the Japanese
"Iberia?" Brad asked
"The Iberian Rabbits are not to be messed with, as usual. But the Scandinavian Blizzard's are surely not to be messed with" Fritzgerald added loudly, with a hint fear and impressed
"Oh yeah, I heard that the Scandinavian rebels are pretty active as the Iberians, but they are more effective" Brad also added as he chuckled in fear after he saw new's of what the Scandinavian viking blizzard's have done
"That's true, but we are getting off-topic" Fritzgerald reminded Brad
"Oh right"
"Well then where was I" The Frenchman rubbed his chin "Oh right" He clicked his fingers " We were going through some trouble with the other resistance groups, as we all were not on the same page on Ideology"
"Makes sense, considering how the empire was becoming more democratic under your rule" Brad added
"And I still believe it was a good idea as the concept of Democracy is pretty useful, when used correctly that is" Fritzgerald explained to which Brad nods in agreement "Anyways, back to the story. As we were going along with an huge operation that destroyed half of the Britannian military assets in France. The FRL leaked the location of our base and the Britannian military launched an attack. Luckily we managed to get that information and moved to La Bresse with only 76% of our assets, all of which were important stuff that we need"
"I mean what do you expect, the resistance groups do want liberate France under their ideology and if they take out the remnants of the old government and military they can be assured for both less competition and no return of the old government" Brad pointed out
Fritzgerald chuckled "I guess you are right monsieur Bradely"
Just then a call came from Fritzgerald's computer "About time" Fritzgerald says
Brad flinched at what Fritzgerald meant "So I'm finnally getting my answers, huh" Brad thought
"Sorry about that. I was attending a meeting with my marshals" A voice says apologising for calling late
"Oh please" Fritzgerald says irritated "Like you would consult with your marshals. Considering you are the military genius of the century. Next to Schneizel" Fritzgerald pointed out
"Even geniuses know that they can't do anything" The voice says coolly
"Wait, did I just hear that Correctly" Brad thought surprised "This guy, who wanted me. Is on par with Schneizel el Britannia!!"
"You know what, let me put you on screen" The frenchman say's irritated as he seems like he just wants to get this over with "I really don't want to talk with you right now"
"I can see that" The voice teased Fritzgerald
A sneer came from Fritzgerald
"What in the world did I just witness" Brad thought dumbfounded by what had just happened
Later the giant screen on the side of the room turned on. Brad was surprised to see who it was, he thought the person who was after him was just one of X-GEN's rivals, who wants to get information on X-GEN by taking some of their employee's, with the hiring of the FLF. And that this guy would be this rival business would just give him answers on why Brad's a NEW-TYPE. But no, it had to be the most dangerous man and the no.1 enemy of Atlantica
"Why Hello there Bradley Michael Garcia" The voice say's coolly "I am Premier Lelouch Lamperouge of the United Soviet Sovereignty. But I assume you already know who I am?"
"You're joking right?" Brad say's in disbelief "The man who ordered the FLF to kidnap me is...the... Leader of the United Soviet Sovereignty?!!?!" Brad shouted from the top of his lungs as he immediately got up from the reveal
"Well yeah" Lelouch confirms Brad "Who else do you think can convince the FLF to pull of a stunt such as kidnapping in an airport"
"I don't know, some kind of maniac?" Brad said
"I thought you would get a hint that it was the soviets who ordrered us to kidnap you after I said 'We will lose 47% of our funding if I beat you up' awhile ago" Fritzgerald pointed out
Brad after hearing that remembered the exact moment he said 'We will lose 47% of their funding'. Brad while embarressed that he couldn't figure out the fact that it was Lelouch who kidnap him, was still confused on why Lelouch specifically wanted him "Ok I do remember that hint you gave me, but" Brad then turns to Lelouch "But why did you want me?"
"Well it's not more of wanting you specifically" Lelouch say's hesitantly
"what do you mean" Brad raises a brow
Lelouch sighs "Well the only reason I know that you are a NEW-TYPE, is through your old friend. You may know him as Nathan acheson?" Lelouch say's
Brad's eyes widened. While a sneer could be heard from the frenchman
"Nathan!?" Brad say's surprised "But how could he know. Actually more specifically how does he know?" Brad asks
"Well the first time he told me was around 10 years ago" Lelouch starts to explain "I was just roaming around Ashford high as always, until I saw Nathan in the library reading some books by Zeon zum deikun"
Brad than started to become confused. He knew Nathan for only three years. And during those two years he recalled Nathan being more of athletic person, he never recalled him willingly read a book in his entire life "Okay that's pretty odd of Nathan. I know Nathan like the back of my hand and I can clearly remember him not doing his homework, even after I told him he had to just read the goddamn reading comprehension" Brad thought
"Oh yeah, he does not like homework. But then again who dosen't" Lelouch replies to Brad, as if he knew what he though about
"That's true, even though I believe studying is good for us. But like Jesus man the amount of homework they gave me was-" Brad then realised what lelouch had just sayed "Wait how do you know my thoughts" Brad said as he got up and pointed his figure at him in the screen
Lelouch got baffled, when he heard Brad say that
"Really, you just forgot the fact that the guy you are talking to, Is the same one who talked through telepathy" Fritzgerald say's with his hand on his face
"Wait that was him!" Brad exclaimed
"Who else do you think it was?" Lelouch asked Brad
"I don't know some guy who is under your command" Brad replied
"I don't understand how you went to college" Lelouch say's leaning on his chair with his hands behind his head
As Brad was about to say something. A female voice starts talking
"Oh please, remember kaneki. he passed school with a degree in physics and he was as dense as him"
"Oh right I forgot about kaneki" Lelouch say's in spite
"Who the heck was that?" Brad asked Lelouch
"That's none of your concern-" the screen on the other side turns toward a green haired woman
"Huh, who are you?" Brad asked the woman
The woman pouted "Hmmph, how rude of you to not know me"
"Huh??"
"Hey Chihaya, give me back the computer right now" Lelouch demanded
"No, I want to know more about this boy" The woman replied
"Chihaya?" Brad say's queitly as he is confused on who the woman is
"Now, now, Chihaya your a grown woman now and royalty" The Frenchman tells to the woman called Chihaya
"But uncle even I want to know more about this NEW-TYPE boy" Chihaya say's whining
"Wait, UNCLE!?!?" Brad shouts out-loud in surprise
Everyone all turn to Brad
"Yeah, I'm her uncle" Fritzgerald confirmed
This then confirms Brads suspicions "If I'm right about this, that could only mean that this woman, is the" Brad gulps "Crown princess of Japanese Imperial family"
"Pretty much" Chihaya replies borishly
"Why are you showing yourself to me" Brad asked Chihaya
"What do you mean?" Chihaya asked
"I'm from Atlantica" Brad tells Chihaya
"So?" Chihaya say's without a care in the world
Brad's eyes widen by her response
"She dosen't believe that you will reveal Chihaya is in USS" Lelouch explains, as he reappears in the screen
"Why!" Brad asks
"Because I told her, that you won't" Lelouch say's
Brad went confused over what Lelouch said "Bitch, what?"
Lelouch sighs "What do all NEW-TYPES have in common? Bradely" Lelouch asked Brad
Brad straightened and was confused by why Lelouch asked him that question. But he replies anyway "The ability to see in the future"
Lelouch nods at Brad's answer "Correct, NEW-TYPES have the common ability to see into the future. This allowed them to be a valuable asset to all nations" Lelouch explained
Brad flinched and realised what Lelouch meant "You...saw those...Visions...didn't you?" Brad questioned Lelouch
Lelouch didn't respond
"He did indeed saw that vision of yours" Chihaya answered gaining Everyone except Lelouch's attention "And by Lelouch's description of the Vision, it was very odd"
"What do you mean by odd? prinecess" Brad asked
"For one thing the Devil of Japan was there with you" Chihaya replied
This causes Brad to remember the vision once again, seeing himself with Jeremy, Derek, Esmeé and anthor girl who seemed to be Korean. With the Devil of Japan right next to them, as if he was berating him and the others "Yeah that is odd" Brad responded
"See" Chihaya gave a smug smirk to Brad
"But in any case we both saw that vision. And that vision is going to help us with the upcoming challenge's we will have in the future" Lelouch say's, wanting to go back to the topic at hand
Everyone except Brad nods and turns toward Lelouch
"As I was saying, I was in the library and saw Nathan reading books made by Zeon zum deikun. I found it odd at first, Because as you said, Nathan is the last guy we see do homework" Lelouch clarified "When I asked him, what he was doing reading books about NEW-TYPES. He replied with 'Oh, I just found the topic about NEW-TYPES, intresting' along those lines"
"Like he finds books intresting" Brad reminded himself
"I told him that, 'I don't believe you' since I already knew how behaved and acted like. So I got suspicous about it" Lelouch continues his flashback
"Like any sane person who knows him" Brad thought to himself
"Well, Nathan made a smart move by telling me about you later on" Lelouch's words gained Brad's attention
"Why did he do that" Brad said until he realise who he was talking to "Oh right. I forgot you are prodigy, premier"
"Let's put those trivial matters aside, shall we" Lelouch said wanting to avoid the topic of prodigies as he already heard enough praises from people about it "But yes, he did tell me about you. And I got to say he actually was concerned. I mean he does get concerned sometimes, but still"
Brad smiled, knowing his long time friend was actually being concerned for him "I guess he really cherished our friendship"
"Ahh, friendship" Chihaya appeared on the screen gaining everyone's attention "It really is a nice thing. I remember when Suzaku told me how you two became friend's. You guys really had a rocky start"
"That's how some friendship's start, don't tell me you don't know that" Lelouch teased Chihaya
"Oh please, at least I can run faster than you" Chihaya teased back
"Everyone can run faster than him, Chihaya" Fritzgerald pointed out
"Uncle, that wasen't the point" Chihaya told her uncle
"Oh right, I forgot how lazy you are" Fritzgerald remembered
"Can we get back to topic at hand?" Brad exclaimed wanting to know why he was chosen
"Oh right sorry" Lelouch apologised "As I was saying. Nathan told me not to tell anyone, and I did. I made sure not to tell anyone what Nathan told me" Lelouch pause's for a moment "Until recently, I had no choice but to look for you"
Brad face showed signs of confusion "Why?" Brad asked
"The premier said, that to win we needed NEW-TYPES in the Soviet arsenal" A Russian accented voice said
"Who was that?" Brad asks Lelouch
Lelouch turns his screen towards black haired Russian man, apeearing to be in his early thirties with a shaved beard. He was wearing the standard Soviet dark green officer uniform
"Brad, I would like you to meet the General secratary of the Soviet government and head of the 73rd Volga leigon pf the red army. Field Marshal Kirill Strakhov" Lelouch introduced his right-hand man
"Oh, I heard about you. You were the one who brought down the caucasus uprising" Brad pointed out
"That is correct" Kirill acknowledged dryly as usual
"Like Kirill said, I needed NEW-TYPES, in ordrer to at least get a succesful victory, no a Guaranteed victory against Atlantica" Lelouch explained
Brad widens his eyes on what Lelouch meant "Your starting" Brad gulped "ANOTHER GREAT WAR!!!" Brad shouted out in anger
"Yes" Lelouch replied "And I know, We just went through a fourth great war. But lets be honest here"
"What do you mean?" Brad asked
"Atlantica isn't what it used to be. It was once the pinnacle of freedom, democracy and progress" Lelouch listed, Brad already knows where Lelouch is going at "It had it's fair share of bloodshed, but this is far more worse. Atlantica had always tried to limit the bloodshed in the past, from the wars in the middle east to the civil wars in Africa. But know it's a totalatarian dictatorship and a war-mongering state ever since Theodore winston came into power. War is practically inevitable now"
"I know" Brad said, confusing everyone "Unlike everyone else, I know this isn't the Atlantica that I one grew up in. The Atlantica I knew gave people a chance, helped people start over a new life" Brad looks down on the floor "But ever since Theodore came into power, it all changed. Atlantica become more militaristc, more tyrannical and I know that since my mom got killed because she was in crowd of protesters" Lelouch frowned, when he heard Brad's mother being killed, as he knows the feeling of losing a mother "But if you're wondering why I'm not doing anything, it's just what can I do. I'm just normal guy trying to get past life, I just want to enjoy my passion and life's work. What can I do" Brad asked Lelouch
"That's for you to decide" Lelouch replied "Like many, you also see the wrongdoings of you nation. Exactly what can you do? join a resistance or speak out against the government. You chose none and decided to try and live a normal life. And who can blame you. But unfortunately for you are going to be helping our cause" Lelouch said
"Guess I have no choice" Brad said, seeing as how he can't do anything now. He looks back towrds the screen at lelouch "So what am I suppose to do?"
"Steal Britannia's new MS" Lelouch tells Brad
Brad raised a brow in confusion "Britannia has a new MS in development?"
"Yes, we believe that the Voyager institute in Ireland, has created a new MS, that can give the Britannian's an advantage against us during an future with us. So, we want you to use steal it for a certain resistance group" Lelouch instructed
"And which resistance group is it?" Brad ask's
"You will soon find out" The screen then later cuts out
"So, are really doing this?" Fritzgerald asks Brad
"What else can I do, the premier might have threatened me to do it anyway" Brad replies
"That's true he does threaten people sometimes" Fritzgerald says
"So, I'm guessing my colleagues are also coming?" Brad asked
"Of course. I will also be sending Arnold, Esmeé and Blaise with you" Fritzgerald told Brad
"Fair enough, but why Esmeé? we've only just met her" Brad asked
"She put in the request before I came in" Fritzgerald tells Brad
"I guess that makes sense" Brad responds, unsure if that was the case
Xinjiang, Malcom base
"We're requesting reinforc-" The communications tower say's before it exploded
"Well, that will annoy the Atlantican's for a while" A soldier in a dieselpunk samurai suit holding a rifle say's
Meanwhile in the air is the Giant airship Mikazuki. Inside a man is in a call with Lelouch
"So I'm to head to Ireland?" The man asks
"Correct, once you get there, your new recruit's will already be in combat Suzaku" Lelouch tells Suzaku
"Good to know" Suzaku turns off the call
"Contact everyone to get back, we're going to Ireland" Suzaku tells the communications officer
"Yes sir" The man complies
Ireland, Voyager institute, facility Vist
"So it's nearly completed" A man asks
"Yes, we expect the Spartacus to be completed in about a few hours" The engineer confirms in a uneasy tone
"I know how you feel William. I was under pressure from the military to make this, thing" The man tells to William
"It's not your fault Ben" William assure's Ben "But, should we do this" William asks Ben "Our institute only specialises in civillian MS's"
Ben pauses for a moment "I don't know. For what it's worth, I guess this the best we could do for the institute's future" Ben explains
William sighs disapointed "I suppose you are right" He then takes out a picture from breastpocket. William smiles at the picture
"You shouldn't have done that" Ben tells William "You shouldn't have done that to your own son"
"I was an idiot, I know. If it weren't for me, I could have seen him grow up" William say's with a frown on his face
"I found out what happened to Isabell" Ben tells William
William turns around to Ben, overjoyed when Ben said he found out what happened to his ex-wife "And, where is she? And Brad?" William asks Ben
"Isabell died 6 years ago" Ben say's. William eyes widen in shock from what Ben say's "But your son is still alive"
William sighs in relief "Good to know"
"So, should I bring him here?" Ben asks William
"When you find him, yes" William tells Ben
"Got it" Ben say's as he leaves the room
"You, need to take this MS. No this Gundam, Brad. Only you can activate it's true power " William then looks at a black colored Mobile Suit. It's arm had some sort of inbuilt armaments attacments to them, with it's face having a thin visor and a horn
Gundam Spartacus
Named after the Roman gladiator and slave, that led the third largest slave revolt against the Roman empire. The MS abilities are still unknown
"This Gundam cannot be under V.V hands" William gulps in fear just thinking of the man "This Gundam is none like it's other generations"
Authuors note's
Hello and sorry for the delay
It was pretty hard to think of Idea's for this. Since I just mostly focused on the world building in this world
But I will try and upload more
For the next chapter we're going to have an interlude of the history of the Post-Third Great War Era. Because like I said I focused mostly on the world building
And I also changed Atlantica and Japans mobile suit's
Japan: Earth Federation Mobile suits
Atlantica: Earth Alliance Seed Mobile suits
So enjoy
Peace
