Chapter One

Ian Vashti, a man who most would consider one of the best Mobile Suit Designers of all time, though if you were to ask him, he'd deny it. He and his engineering team designed and created the Gundams, from generations 3rd and soon the 4th. He also played a role with the maintince and testing of the 2nd generation of Gundams. So if there was a man to on the ship of the CBS-74 Ptolemaios 2 or in fact all of Celestial Being, who could be named the Gundam Expert, it would be him.

Now while others might say the design of this gaudy suit was made by a ten-year-old. No, Ian saw through that, the design here was made for the sole purpose of proving it was possible and doing so in style. The cape was not cosmetic that was for sure and while the avian inspired bird like V-Fin was certainly just for cosmetic effects, it clearly was hiding something behind it. This Mobile Suit, this Agito Zero was both marvel and an abomination. Equal parts Mobile Suit design and engineering genius and equal parts madness.

His expertise and experience with designing Mobile Suits allowed Ian to pick up on one major hidden detail. Just like Tieria's Virtue Gundam and Seravee Gundam had parts built to conceal something, this one did. Except the concealment was all around it and Ian had no idea what it concealed. But given the size it was something of a game changers, not only that but now as he walked up and tapped the Mobile Suit gently he could feel that it was not made out of E-Carbon, it was something very different.

In fact he'd dare saw it was almost alien and as he did that, he didn't see it but felt almost as if the Mobile Suit twitched at his touch. But that was impossible now as he turned to the almost looking alien who got out of this alien Mobile Suit asking "Just what is your Mobile Suit made out of? It's certainly not any ally or E-Carbon that I am familiar with."

"I believe it was called Gundanium Alloy. I believe at least from my limited knowledge it has to be completely assembled artificially in space. I'm not a scientist, don't have an acceptable answer for how it came into being otherwise."

Ian wasn't sure what to make of that, he wasn't lying that he wasn't a scientist, but he certainly knew a lot more about this Gundanium Alloy and just chose not to say anything about it. Turning back to look at the suit he could see while there were no visible signs of battle, there were echoes of it on the suit. This fictional alloy was certainly sturdy but also it would appear that it did show signs of serious combat.

Looking back he asks "You've been in some serious combat, your suit hides it well but there are the signs, care to share."

"No, they are non factors that are incapable of effecting your missions or my mine." The answer was very blunt, but Ian could her a tired and almost sad honesty to those words. If they are all non-factors that cannot effect the outcome of the mission or your missions. It's hasn't actually been that long for me."

Tieria now cut over Ian at hearing this asking "Wait, there were others what happened to them?"

This also got Ian interested because that meant there were other suits like his out there, however he also was more level headed and humane than Tieria. And he could see that the battle this Anthony Hitoro took part in was not that long ago. However before he could speak "Anthony Hitoro did say, none of them had GN-Drives if that's what you're thinking, in fact I can say the GN-Drive without a doubt was a large contributing factor to my survival and arrival."

A factor, now while Ian was no expert of radiation, he was aware of what could happen to a GN-Drive if exposed to high amount of nuclear power. So narrowing his eyes now he asked or rather stated "They used Nuclear weapons and you're the only survivor, your current condition is a direct statement to that fact which means you've had to fight someone with a nuclear arsenal to get here?"

When he didn't say anything but for a fraction of a moment he looked sad, like recalling people he had fought beside and lost. Which now prompted Ian to stand now raise a hand out to him saying "Allow me then to welcome you aboard the Ptolemaios 2. I'm not going to lie we are seriously outnumbered and even outgunned."

He didn't say anything, Ian was trying to gently probe Anthony to see if he would speak about a hidden arsenal or any weapons on his Mobile Suit. However when he did not Tieria asked him "Your Mobile Suit, it has a connection or system like Veda."

"No the operating system is not compatible nor is it linked to Veda. It is intended to be outside for the specific purpose that Veda will not have any information on it and Veda will not understand properly how it works since. I would tell you more about its own Operating Systems, but they not relevant to you. The only way for you to understand what it is, is to take a seat inside and operate it for yourself." There was a calm sereness to this that made the hair on the back of Ian's neck stand up. It was safe to say his gut told him it was a very poor decision to step inside and find out.

Now while Tieria was tempted to do so, after a look at Anthony and what condition his body was in he opted to decline saying "For now then we will have to take your word for it Anthony Hitoro that it is something to be experienced rather than just told. But as you should be aware we have to be on our guard, given that our enemy has far more resources than we do and that we cannot simply trust just anyone we meet."

"Of course, but you're not committing to that suspicion Tieria Erde, if you were you'd understand just how dire your predicament is. You're still very much part of Celestial Being and you're still very much willing to trust it. Did it ever cross your mind that your enemy has already had his own infiltrate the ranks of Celestial Being. You don't seem to be very mistrustful of them and even though you were locked out of Veda. If you're going to play the part of being mistrustful and suspicious you should commit to the role and not be to selective, complacency will lead to your downfall." This verbal back hand to Tieria's words were to the point and without mercy.

This caused Tieria to pause now considering those words, but Ian now got a chance to speak again saying "Are you trying to tell me that this ship has been infiltrated, that's not possible because-."

"I didn't say this ship I said Celestial Being, though if you trust too loosely it will be this ship." Anthony cut Ian off asserting what he said now before adding "Your enemy was able to by pass all security locks of Veda, lock you out of it and take control. Am I the only person here who understand that to be able to do that, you'd need to be deeply rooted inside the organization and once you're at that level how many more of your own people have you placed there?"

Tieria countered to this "If you're trying to win my trust you're not doing a very good job."

"While your trust, would be appreciated, it is not required. You require me far more than require you. If turn around and get into my Mobile Suit to leave, I have the ability to do so and leave and you can do nothing about it. I can force that hangar open for myself. And if you were to attempt to stop me but pulling a gun on me, you best be ready to empty it and hope that I am no longer standing when you do. For if I am still standing, you'll be dead before you can reload, do we have an understanding Tieria Erde?" Ian notes the utterly cold and dispassionate tone that this was said in was not a boast but more akin to someone explaining how he's going to do a chore like mow the garden.

But now Setsuna arrived saying "I say we trust him, he came to fight the A-Laws even though he had no reason to and he aided us. I say we should try to trust him or at least try to."

Ian notes that there is a note of discomfort on Anthony's face, like he has some sort of problem with Setsuna speaking up for him. Ian can't quite pick up what it was, but it clearly was some sort of discomfort that Setsuna was advocating for him. For Ian at least this meant the man wasn't comfortable with Setsuna around and there had to be a reason for that. It was there only for a fraction of a second, but Ian noticed and this caused Tieria to speak up asking "Is there a reason why you're not okay with Setsuna advocating for you."

"It's a bit more complicated, when I look at him I can see that haunted look that image that is just the corner vision. Unlike you two he's done something so wrong that there is no one left alive who can forgive him for it." Ian had heard that Setsuna was one of those terrorists and had done some of the worst things around, but given how this guy picked it up just by looking at him. Means either this man was full of shit.

So to try and gage him and sus him out, Ian asked "Alright, if you got that from the look in his eye, what type of guy am I?"

"You're the type to take pride in your creations and the fruits of your labour more so than others might. That said that you're also quite the character in the sense that you clearly enjoy younger women. Now while that is of course allowed, you're the type of man who more than likely wed a lady more than twenty years his junior." Ian felt violated by that, this guy literally pegged who he was and that his wife was way younger than him, something most did not know.

Ian saw both Gundam Meisters look to confused as he said "Well I take it back, he clearly does know how to read people just by looking at them. Now if you excuse me, I feel like I should go wash myself."

"Hold up Ian" Tieria states before looking back to Anthony "how do we know that you don't have detailed profiles on all of us."

"No I do not have detailed files on you. If I did have detailed files on you, I'd be playing you like a flute and making you sing to my tune and making this conversation much easier on myself." The way Anthony said this was so honest it hurt Ian to know he didn't have detailed files but could tell that anyway.

However Tieria was wise enough to figure out that he was playing them like a flute, he was only letting them think that they will act. So now he asks "Do you know where the A-Laws will strike next then, Anthony Hitoro."

"No, but I can give you a very accurate estimation," Anthony replied without any hesitation.

Setsuna was to go down to Earth and recruit the new Lockon, the twin of the old on. They also needed to get Sumeragi back, but now Anthony had another thing on his mind. He did feel that he should intervene with Saji Crossroad and let him know of the truth of his sister's death. But it was hard to prove anything to a fool who would not listen, after all it is impossible for a fool to change his mind.

So he opted not to do so, at least not yet. Instead sitting within his Mobile Suit, he now heard the voice of the most cheerful person on this ship call out "Hey Mr Mysterious Alien looking pilot guy, we have some food for you, did you want it."

That would be Ian's daughter Mileina Vashti and of course she was accompanied by Lasse Aeon who stands there politely. Having Agito Zero's cockpit open up slowly Anthony slowly got out of it and descended on the zip line stating "I would prefer it if you used the name Anthony Hitoro as opposed to Mr Mysterious Alien looking pilot guy."

She blinks now as she looks at Anthony saying "Sorry, you do look like a mysterious alien looking guy though" now offer Anthony the tray of food.

Which after a few moments Anthony gently takes from her before stating "Thank you for the food."

Lasse now spoke up asking "If you don't mind me asking, how did you well end up like that."

Anthony for his part was taking in a spoon full of food now and noticing that he could barely taste anything but continued to eat it anyway stating "I can say having survived it, that the Agito Zero here is capable of resisting and enduring a blast that is stronger than the focused laser with the power of a nuclear explosion. Simply avoid getting hit by such a weapon while using the Agito Zero and you'll avoid ending up like me."

Anthony said this to them on purpose because well, both of them lack the knowledge that Ian and Tieria have to understand what that means. Lasse for his part had a bit more knowledge but nuclear energy was a thing of the past and just looked confused. Mileina on the other hand did chirp up and ask "So you've been in combat with other Mobile Suits before? You made a fool out of those A-Laws, was it similar to that?"

Pausing now Anthony recalled he had made fun of Rau and his team at first. But as things got more and more serious, he had to take things more seriously. A single moment of arrogance had led to him wiping out way more people than he had intended to. So looking now at Mileina, Anthony answered "They are not events that I want to regale you one, for I relive in the corners of my mind wanting to if I could have done things differently would the results have changed."

The ZERO System or rather Agito Zero's ZERO Systemhad shown him multiple paths and of course now there were other things. Had he been here five or four years ago what would be different, had he been here before the A-Laws rose and Ribbons was able to enact his plan, what would be different. Thing is Agito Zero had shown him what would have been different, but there was no use going over that now.

His mind went back to them, Kira, Cagalli, Lacus, Athrun, Yzak, Dearka, Mu, Murrue, Watfeld and even Aisha. What had become of them? What had become of the future that they were heading towards, would DESTINY still happen, would Rau's echo drive his fellow clone to follow in his footsteps. Would Durandal and his Destiny Plan come about, would someone else fill that role, he had opted not to ask Agito Zero to investigate those futures as he'd rather not know for sure.

Looking back at the two in front of him Anthony said "My apologies, I was just recalling people I know" what he left out was it was more than likely he was never going to see them again either. But his tone conveyed that now as Lasse seemed to understand it while Mileina did not.

Finishing off the food, Anthony stated "Thank you for the meal, should you have need for me I'll be inside Agito Zero, just call out and I'll hear you."

"Will do so, we look forward to working with you more Anthony Hitoro." Mileina said now correcting herself from the name she had given him earlier.

While Anthony returned to the cockpit of Agito Zero he closed his eyes and recalled that while he wasn't here four or more years ago. He didn't wake up and immediately go to the battle at Colony Proud, there was one person he had to speak to before it and bring them to his side in order to make the A-Laws less formidable in the future.

32 Days Ago, on Earth

Billy Katagiri was no fool, but he was a sentimental, passionate, romantic, and caring person for those important in his life. Now he had found himself in the middle of nowhere facing down someone in a hood all on something of a hunch and lead about Ralph Eifman. Looking now at the stranger in the hood he stated "We'll you've drawn me out here, I've done as you asked and I've come here alone."

"Yes alone but you did attempt to inform your colleagues about this but they were intercepted mostly thanks to me. My apologies for my deception Billy Katagiri but I did wish to talk to you." The hooded man said this now while looking up at Billy there was a green glow to his eyes that shone in the darkness which gave Billy the slight urge to run. But there was also a calming feeling around, like this person was not his enemy.

Calmly the man approached him hands raised and pulling back his hood revealed an almost inhuman face as he said "You came because I have answers as to the murder of Ralph Eifman, your predecessor. And I as a man of my word will give you those answers."

Narrowing his eyes at the man Billy asked, "And how will you do that, you don't even look remotely human, just what are you?"

"I am very much human, no I am not mutant or a off branch. That right now is irrelevant, however what you need to see is not. The only question I have is if you're ready to see it? Because once you do Billy Katagiri, there is no way to turn back." This area was remote and in the mountains and altogether isolated, but out of the darkness red eyes shined and he saw behind the man the outstretched arm of a Mobile Suit, one he had never seen before, but one he know was a Gundam.

Before he could call it a Gundam the man stated "This is the Mobile Suit Agito Zero, come enter it and all will be revealed."

Looking at both now the outstretched hand of the man and of the Gundam, Billy could not help but state "You, you're with them, you're with Celestial Being!"

"I am most certainly not with Celestial Being and my Mobile Suit is of a completely different design. Step inside and you will know the truth or leave and tell everyone about this mobile suit and of me and know that no one will believe you until I desire that they do. And I know of your talent and have immense respect for it, which is why I have approached you above else." There was a brutal honest in this that made his words feel less like compliments and simple statements of fact.

Now as Billy decided against all the bells in his head telling him to run, he also knew that he wasn't going to outrun a man in a Mobile Suit and this man. Not only that but shooting this man was going to be a very bad idea so instead he now stepped forward and said "Very well, I'll do it."

Walking forward still caution, Billy and the stranger who was no longer wearing the hood both stepped onto the hand. The man had glowing green eyes that seemed to reflect GN particles within them, his hair was faded but had once been a rich red as was his skin. He knew instantly that this man had been hit with some kind of radiation but had survived. This alone was considered impossible and unbelievable, and Billy wasn't sure if anything else would surprise him, he was proven wrong immediately.

The hand of the Mobile Suit now lifted both of them up and at first Billy thought that there must be someone else there, which made sense. However now as the hand reached the chest of the Mobile Suti, it opened and Billy saw that the cockpit was empty, the Mobile Suit had moved on its own. He was about to ask how this happened but the man now offered him a last way out saying "It's not too late to leave should you wish, once you know the secrets of ZERO there is no going back."

Once again the brutal honest of these words was altogether terrifying, but Billy knew he had come this far, he would go all the way now as he stated "If it is to do with the murder of the Professor, I'll take that risk."

With a gesture the man motioned for him to move inside and as he did so, the man followed with the doors closed behind him. Inside Billy saw a sphere with a chair and the most odd controls, he was about to comment on it, but instead just took a seat now as he marvelled at how alien all of this was.

As soon as he was seated the man stated "Agito Zero, show him the way and don't hold back!"

Almost instantly calculations, images people, videos and more flooded the Billy's vision as he saw information that appeared. There was the professor, his last moments and the computer screen in front of him that read "You have witnessed too much" and then of course his death.

But it showed more, it showed what Professor Ralph Eifman, the expedition to Jupiter 120 years before Celestial Being's interventions. It then linked him to the Gundam that had destroyed him, how it was developed, who developed it, who was behind that. But it also dove in further on the nature of the pilots and the people they were made to be and who they were.

The feed went back even further showing how they came about and more closely who was responsible. Then it linked said person a Ribbons Almark. Then linking said person with Alejandro Corner the person who led the fight against Celestial Being four years ago. It then went on to show Ribbons Almark, the actions he had taken that led to this, the connection he had that led to marking Professor Eifman for death, his link to all of it.

Him being the one to set in motion the events that led to this, him creating those three extra Gundams and their pilots. Him manipulating the whole situation and even taunting Alejandro Corner right before the man died. Him stating it was him doing it all along and that he was behind all of it, his organization, the Innovators, the creation of the A-Laws and he uses them as puppets. The wanton slaughter of civilians at their hands and the world order he knows today.

It then looped all the events, feeding him the information in greater detail and showing him the facts behind it. Inputting this knowledge into his mind. He got to see exactly what the Professor was doing and just exactly when Ribbons Almark marked him for death. The true purpose of Team Trinity and how everyone, absolutely everyone was dancing to this monsters tune. Not only that but it showed him who Ribbons Almark was, how he thought of himself as superior to all others and that humans were inferior to him.

But it also showed him something else, people and battles that never happened, but they were so real and this Mobile Suit was there in it. A man with white hair and a scar with a red jacket now said "I do not know why any of us fight any more, but I will not sell my sould and my life in battle for a mad man, to all of you out there I will say one last thing, remember Nicol Amalfi, he was a pilot loyal to ZAFT and died for it, Yzak Joule out!"

Another image was an old man in purple now with a grey beard and hair as he stated "We cannot leave ORB or this world in the hands of those bastards!"

A young man in a piloting suit with brown hair and eyes stated "I don't want to fight, but if I don't fight those who I care for will get hurt or worse die. I know that if I fight, I can stop that. So I will fight!"

A lady with pink hair and an almost perfect voice stood upon the bridge of a ship as she made a speech stating "The world we live in, it is not perfect by any means, nor should it be, it is up to us to do what we see as right and to fight for it, it will not change the world, but it is a step, a step in the right direction, a step to true peace."

A man with a mask in a white military uniform that was unrecognizable was laughing cruelly now as he said "I gave them a little push that is all, it is they who did this not I, it is in the nature of humanity to fear and to lie and to kill. I was just the one who was able to make them show it boy, you have no idea how twisted humans are!"

The finally he saw the incoming blast of some sort of giant laser and heard the voice of the man he just met say "Your on your own Eternal, Agito Zero out."

None of that made sense, but all of it did at the same time. While the context of each person was missing, the emotion and the spirit of what they said was not and Billy felt it when he heard every single word now as he turned and came to the only logical conclusion stating "You're, you're not from our timeline are you?"

The silence confirmed that now as he Billy felt slightly disorientated as he recalled the more relevant information about Ribbons Almark, what he has done what he has set up and everything to do with the creation of the A-Laws and how it is all linked back to the man or rather the thing that is Ribbons Almark. But most importantly, at least to Billy how this Ribbons Almark was behind the death of Professor Ralph Eifman.

Looking now to the man the Mobile Suit Agito Zero had identified to him as Anthony Hitoro he asked "Why would you take such a risk of showing this all to me."

"Do you really think anyone would believe you that there is a Mobile Suit with GN Drive from another timeline. Think reasonably Billy Katagiri, no one is going to believe what you saw. Given what you now know, you understand that I need your help." The man named Anthony Hitoro stated and while Billy did want to have his reservations, he was overwhelmed by this Mobile Suitand what it had just done.

After a moment of thought he made his decision and said "Alright I'll help you Anthony Hitoro, I do want to avenge my mentor."

The thought that the world though it seemed impossible was controlled by the bastard who had killed his mentor and had played Celestial Being like a puppet enraged him, but Billy was able to keep a lid on his emotions now. And Anthony Hitoro stated "Given what you now know the Celestial Being you fought the four Gundams and their ship had nothing to do with the death of your mentor. To that end we are not done, there is someone else you know quite well we will have to discuss."

But now Billy asked "Why bring me to your side, why show me all of this? If you wanted to take me out of the equation as well, you could have just killed me?"

There was a pause before Anthony stated to him "It did cross my mind that it was a possibility, but it was not something I want to do. I may have killed a lot of people, but I understand that they are people and I accept full responsibility for it. Killing you will not help, I sincerely mean it. You can still leave now and pretend that this was all a nightmare and that you never saw any of it. Though you getting those images out of your head, I will not promise any such thing."

Just like his mentor had, he had witnessed too much to go about. From the what this Agito Zero had shown him the monopoly on information was done by this Ribbons Almark. Though this did raise a question "Wait how will they not know of our meeting, do I have to come back with you now or something to your Mothership."

"I do not have a mothership and no the Agito Zero has a system that you just saw that can get by the Super Artificial Intelligence due io it having its own. Unlike them, my operating systems can interact with theirs but not the other way around. They won't know what I have touched for now, they will however find what I have planted for them. In your case after we are done here you should return home. But know that the lady who you shelter has many secrets and you're a kind man Billy Katagiri that is why I wanted to work with you. Who she is I will discuss with you now, but do not act upon it until they come calling for her." The tone his voice conveyed to Billy was that whatever it was, there were more revelations to come and he was not going to like them.
