Hello there everyone, what's up and how are you? And I have returned again with Chapter 4 of "Meister of Your Future Chronicles". Thank you guys a lot for your early reviews and support for this Gundam 00 and Gundam Build Fighters crossover story that I adopted from TheLandMaster which is most appreciated. XD
My responses to these Guest reviews that I can't normally reply on PM:
Sirhonest: Thanks and yes, Chronicle won't make the same mistake twice and will make sure no one get funny ideas of taking Cornix Furia's weapons or parts. He will eliminate or neutralize them with immense prejudice. On the other hand, the Union gets the leg up thanks to the stolen rifle of Chronicle with the Human Reform League and the AEU being pressed to try catch up.
True, better purchase and stock on your food and supplies to last for weeks or months inside the Dark Veil's kitchen after all.
As for Kinue Crossroad, don't worry and I will make sure that she won't suffer her canon fate. Although she really needed to work on her self preservation skills.
Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam 00 and Gundam Build Fighters series. They both belong to Sunrise that owned the long-running Gundam franchise.
Enjoy and don't forget to review. :)
Chapter 4
At Tokyo, Special Economic Jurisdiction of Japan, Union
Blending in among the crowd of Tokyo is not difficult for the Gunpla Mafia enforcer after entering the capital city of Tokyo and passing himself off as a tourist visiting their Union-aligned country. He used a small underwater craft from the Dark Veil as his means of transportation. Thanks to Quasi-Veda providing him a false identity of "Floyd Malloy" and filling up his account with the big amount of money from the schmuck millionaires that it had hacked into, enough that would make him a fairly rich man.
But not too much as the taxmen who runs the numbers will discover something is off with the missing money leading to the hacker behind it and it might tip off Celestial Being's Agents especially Wang Liu Mei into finding him out and corner him. I made sure that Varia won't tap into her riches specifically. Considering Wang Liu Mei was able to find out Team Trinity's base within short notice, I am not taking any chances with that opportunistic snake of a woman discover my whereabouts and infiltrate the Dark Veil or even run into me here., Chronicle thought as he crossed the street with green light amongst the civilians of Japan.
Heeding the wise words from an underground Gunpla fighter dressed in a stereotypical wizard attire who was a disgraced accountant and styled himself as the so-called "Great And Mighty Kevin" whom he encountered as part of the Gunpla Mafia's dirty work: "Everything must add up or you will be subtracted from the equation!"
Upon entering the supermarket, the first thing he did is to get himself some good clothes as he makes his way inside. I can't go around wearing my pilot suit hidden by my heavy trench coat I borrowed from one of the Mobile Dolls of the Dark Veil. I stand out too much., the ex-Gunpla Mafia enforcer thought as he entered the clothing store within sights.
As part of his new civilian attire that he bought for himself and fitting to his exact measurements, Chronicle wears a light green three-piece suit with a red tie, and kept his pilot suit hidden within just in case. He also wears a white fedora with a red ribbon and a lapel pin on his left lapel, in the shape of a dagger with the symbol of MASK. He also bought several pairs of casual clothing such as plain white T-shirt and undershirts, long black shorts and pants, shoes and slippers, and underwear. It turns out that not only he had no food and supplies within the Dark Veil, he has no other clothes aside from his pilot suit when he first arrived to the Anno Domini world via Plavsky Particles.
Inspecting himself in front of the clothing store's mirror, Chronicle had to admit that he looked rather professional and somewhat respectable. Although not as respectable when I was an enforcer for the Gunpla Mafia. So much blood and misery by my hands..., he thought as he remembered what he had done to the victimized Gunpla players who had a nasty run-in with him under the Gunpla Mafia's orders.
But now here, he can make a difference and change the world alongside Celestial Being. After he made sure that they won't try kill or capture him first of course with the planned meeting between them eventually.
After paying for his acquired clothing with the wallet from his account's money, Chronicle left the clothing store with his four shopping bags on a large shopping trolley and head off to the grocery and supplies store within the supermarket. There, he purchased for his food and supplies as much as he wants to fill up Dark Veil's empty kitchen to last 2 weeks before he will go for rinse and repeat; fruits and vegetables, water cups and gallons, cooking oil and utensils, bathing and cleaning items, fresh fish and meat, and cheese and bread, etc.
Finishing his goal, the pilot of Cornix Furia left the grocery and supplies store with his 4 big boxed packages of purchased items and a long receipt. Although his stomach growled with clear and aching hunger, Chronicle decided that he should stay awhile longer and buy out lunch for himself. Being allowed to use one of the supermarket's large shopping trolley carts within its premises, he brought along his groceries and shopping items to the supermarket's canteen and secured himself a table.
Buying himself a pork-belly wrapped tofu and chicken wings glistening with amakarai teriyaki sauce and a jug of water with a cup, Chronicle took a first bite and enjoyed the taste. He then helped himself to his heart's content. Food is one of his small comforts as he stress eats to cope from his dirty occupation before deciding to come to this world and be its permanent resident.
"Whoa, slow down there. You might accidentally choke yourself, sir.", a familiar female voice called out.
The ex-Gunpla Mafia enforcer paused his chewing before looking to his right side of his table of the supermarket's canteen. He did not widen his eyes in shock like an anime character would but instead he quietly swallow down his food slowly and follow her advise. Oh great, I ran into Kinue Crossroad. Just my luck..., Chronicle thought with surprise while looking calm and neutral before the brown haired JNN reporter herself at her own table with her own food and drink, which is an easy to warm cup of ramen or two and a bottle of water.
He did not expect to encounter the older sister of Saji Crossroad sooner than expected. Much less run into her at the canteen of the supermarket of all places in Tokyo. Then again, this could be an opportunity to avert her fate and spare her brother the pain of losing her. She made a horrible choice of getting inside the car of that bastard Ali-Al Saachez just to get her answers about Celestial Being and she got it the hard way. Not on my watch., he internally vowed.
"Thank you, miss. I apologize. I have gotten a bit too excited.", Chronicle said tersely as he took a drink from a cup of water to clear his throat.
Chuckling, Kinue commented. "I can't blame you. You really like it huh? Touring in Japan I mean. Especially with that huge amount of groceries and shopping you had there."
"That is true. It was a fun experience.", he said as he rolled along with her assumption of him being an American tourist.
Kinue advised, "Well, enjoy your stay in Japan, sir. If you need a place to settle in, there is an apartment where my little brother and I lived there. The rent is relatively moderate there."
"Noted.", Chronicle simply nods before resuming to eat his lunch while thinking. The same apartment where Setsuna stayed there and became neighbors with Saji? No thanks, I rather not run into that Gundam-obsessed nut and jeopardize my planned meeting with Celestial Being. I'm staying at the Dark Veil.
"Oh I'm Kinue Crossroad by the way. I work in the JNN, and you are?", the older woman asked politely.
"Floyd. Floyd Malloy.", Chronicle replied with the use of his false identity crafted by Varia for him.
"A fan of James Bond?", she asked after noticing the reference.
"Yes.", he said bluntly while he thought. James Bond exists here too, huh?
Kinue commented, "Not much of a talker aren't you?"
Chronicle simply shrugged, "Actions speak louder than words."
"Alright then, suit yourself.", she also shrugged.
After that, they mind their own business and resume their lunch without bothering each other too much. That is until a JNN report on the flatscreen tv sets showed up to show the Chairman of the Human Reform League, whose name Chronicle would later find out about later back at the Dark Veil, making a formal announcement to the world about Celestial Being.
"As a result of Celestial Being's armed intervention on the island of Ceylon, 148 of our brave and noble soldiers out of 1,500-strong force have lost their lives. Although they speak of eliminating conflict, Celestial Being's actions are nothing more than terrorism! Perpetuating in a blatant attempt to disrupt the national order! We, the people of the Human Reform League, intended to take a firm stance and confront their terrorist activities!"
Chronicle is not surprised to see this one coming as he had heard it before in Episode 4 and continued eating, just droning out the HRL Chairman's words.
Then the leader of the Human Reform League dropped the wham bomb for all in the world to hear, "And to stop Celestial Being from perpetuating further violence, the Human Reform League has formed the Chobu Squadron composed of the most outstanding members of our military and they will be led by Colonel Sergei Smirnov, the Wild Bear of Russia!"
The ex-Gunpla Mafia enforcer nearly choked himself in shock before recomposing himself to see the stern scarred older man in his HRL military uniform stepping forth and make a sharp salute in front of the camera. Behind him is Commander Kim clapping in applause along with the other HRL government and military officials on stage.
"What?", he uttered with a look of incredulity that this wasn't he expected.
"I didn't see that coming.", Kinue commented as she focused her eyes on the news and brought out a notepad to jot the info down for later use when she gets back to JNN from her lunch break.
"If it weren't for his brave and courageous action, Celestial Being would have taken more of our soldiers' lives unchecked! Although he may have failed to take down the Gundam, he has proven that the Human Reform League will not bow before their acts of terrorism!", the HRL Chairman proclaimed before nodding to signal the change of footage for everyone to witness.
Chronicle and Kinue witnessed the recorded fight scene between the MSJ-06II-C Tieren High Mobility Type and Exia from a third person perspective and it came from a regular Tierien. It's most likely his aide, Lieutenant Ming who did that. The man who would soon be mercilessly murdered by Allelujah's psychopathic other half., he realized how did the HRL got the footage in the first place and that Lieutenant Ming refuses to leave by the Wild Bear's side wherever he goes.
The Tierien High Mobility Type charged against the Gundam that easily took out its arm but left itself open to be grabbed by the head. Chronicle expected the same result happen like in the show but instead he saw Sergei's Tierien then violently slammed Exia into the ground before dragging it through the floor hard to leave trench marks and to pin it into the nearby HRL military warehouse, severely damaging it from the impact.
They watched Sergei's Tierien using its one remaining arm to smash the Gundam repeatedly in the face with a sequence of a right hook, backhand and an uppercut before jumping to give it a devastating flying dropkick that sent his enemy flying and tore the warehouse apart as a result. What a bastardization of the iconic Char Kick!, he winced at noting the familiar technique.
"Wow, the Wild Bear of Russia sure went wild there.", Kinue made a weak pun while looking at the footage where the scratched but barely undamaged Exia fought back with a vengeance by throwing its beam sabers to disable the legs, cut off the Tierien High Mobility Type's remaining arm and strike it down with its large blade. "Then again, so did that Gundam."
"Right.", Chronicle muttered before finishing up what's left of his lunch and decided to leave and return back to the Dark Veil.
"Where are you going?", the female JNN reporter asked with curiosity.
"To finish my shopping here, Miss Crossroad. Farewell.", the man replied with a frown and a lie as he prepared to take his large shopping trolley cart and leave the canteen. On the other hand, I will have to find a way to contact you and to prevent your death next time., he vowed.
"Okay, take care Mr. Malloy. What a strange man.", Kinue bade goodbye to the tourist who promptly left before resuming to look at the ongoing announcement with the HRL Chairman singing praises to the Wild Bear of Russia followed with the Colonel solemnly vowed in front of the public that he will capture the Gundam for the sake of the Human Reform League.
-O-
En route back to the Dark Veil, international waters
This shouldn't have happened! Setsuna is supposed to effortlessly defeat Colonel Sergei right after being caught by his Tierien's grip, not get treated with the equivalent of World Wide Wrestling Giant Robot Edition!, Chronicle thought with barely concealed look of disbelief while taking his shopping trolley cart outside the supermarket and hailed for a taxi cab to stop and stuff his purchased items and supplies.
Entering the cab, he told the driver to take him to the empty harbor of Tokyo and the latter complied.
Upon arrival, Chronicle paid the taxi cab driver with a generous tip, which he was thankful for, and unloaded his packages. He waited until the coast is clear and signaled Varia to bring out his underwater craft from the depths so that the one Mobile Doll being left in charge will help bring all of his stuff he bought inside. After that, he boarded his vessel and drove his way back to the Dark Veil.
Chronicle doesn't even bother taking off the suit he had bought and wore. He had other pressing matters to tackle on.
Tapping into his ship's systems, the pilot of Cornix Furia demanded. "Varia, get me updates on the reaction of the Union and the AEU about the recent news announcement from the Human Reform League?"
The Quasi-Veda complied and did as ordered and showed him the holographic screens of the leaders of the Union and the AEU making their own respective announcement. As expected, they saw that the Gundams are not as invincible as they thought after the footage revealed of Colonel Smirnov tackling with Exia and believed that they might have a chance to take them down or capture them for their advanced technology.
Chronicle shook his head in disappointment as he thought, Dammit Setsuna! Either you've proven Tieria right about your combat inexperience... or the Wild Bear of Russia decided to think outside the box and played dirty tactics in an attempt to try win against a superior foe. It doesn't matter. The damage has already been done and I'm going to rectify it!
The President of the Union declared on live tv from the White House, "In order to counter the threat of Celestial Being's armed interventions upon our allies and our borders, we have formed the Over Flags with the best and brightest ace pilots joining it to protect our peace, justice and the Union Way! Led by Captain Graham Aker, The Top Gun of the Union military!"
The Over Flags are not unexpected. Although they weren't officially named until the joint operation between the world's three superpower blocs in the show. They were just the Anti-Gundam Investigative Task Force at the time., the ex-Gunpla Mafia enforcer frowned in thought.
While the President of the AEU announced on live tv with fellow councilors sitting by his side, "The AEU Council have decided that we have to form the anti-Gundam task force of our own. Led by Colonel Kati Mannequin, they shall be known as Gjallarhorn! Like in the Norse mythology, they will be the yelling horn that will bring an end to Celestial Being's so-called armed interventions!"
This made Chronicle widen his eyes in surprise as he recalled, the AEU's own anti-Gundam force wasn't really focused or even named in the show at all. Just Colonel Kati and her future husband Patrick Colasour.
"Wait what?!"
-O-
At the MSWAD headquarters, Illinois, Union
"Wow, Mr. President really did call our squad Over Flags.", Verna commented with a look of amusement and surprise as she watched the news on her pad.
Billy chuckled with amusement as he studied the scans of Cornix Furia's rifle the two Flag Fighters stole from it and it is currently held on the back of the wall nearby the repaired Flag mobile suits of his two friends, "Well it does fit our fearless leader here, and we are gonna be meeting the new members coming here to the base real soon."
Verna smiled with fondness, "Oh yeah, Howard Mason, Daryl Dodge and Yuka Koen! I can't wait to see them again since the academy!"
"What about Joshua Edwards?", the Technical Advisor mischievously asked.
"What about Joshua Edwards?", the Lieutenant scoffed with her smile immediately dropping at the mere mention of that sleaze-ball and his nasty demeanor and habit of using her deceased father Sleg Sletcher's name as a weapon to mock her friend and captain at every opportunity, which she gave him a knuckle sandwich or two for it. She won't be surprised if he still act the same when she isn't around him to keep him honest.
Graham frowned as he rewatched the footage of Sergei's Tierien vs the Gundam that took down the Enact in Celestial Being's first debut, "That Celestial Being pilot. I can't keep thinking about how young he was. Probably not even in his twenties."
The Lieutenant and Technical Advisor looked at their friend with confusion. "What do you mean by that, Graham?", the green haired woman wondered.
"I saw it in the way he moved his machine, Verna. The movements were fast and nimble but at the same time, very polished and crisp, which leads me to believe that he had formal training from somewhere. But on the other hand, he was unprepared for the Wild Bear's unpredictable attacks that he didn't see coming.", the blonde Flag pilot explained.
"Although he did take Colonel Sergei's Tierien down in the end.", Billy commented.
"But that footage just showed the world that the Gundams can be beaten. Celestial Being's image of invincibility has been shattered.", Verna noted.
Professor Ralph Eifman warned as he entered to inform the three young adults with the result of his study on his pad, "More likely it will push Celestial Being to fight even harder in their next armed intervention and not make the same mistake like that young pilot of the Gundam with a blade, Lieutenant. To prove the world that they are willing to continue despite suffering a setback and bounce back from it."
"I see.", the daughter of Sleg Sletcher frowned.
"Ah, Professor! Have you discovered something?", the bespectacled young man asked.
Giving the pad to his former student, the elderly professor revealed. "It appears from what I have found out from the energy reading scans and the stolen rifle... is that Mr. Chronicle's mobile suit, The Crow as the Union had designated to be far easier to pronounce, is actually powered by nuclear energy."
"What?!", the three shouted with a look of surprise.
"How could it be? We saw his mobile suit emit the same beams of light similarly like the Gundams!", Billy stated with a look of disbelief.
"That is a mystery I would like to solve and find out as there are also traces of isotopes of hydrogen and helium in stark contrast with the light particles that the Gundams have emitted.", Professor Ralph Eifman elaborated.
Verna asked, "So are we going to have our Flags use nuclear power and get even with the Gundams and Cornix Furia-er I mean The Crow?"
Shaking his head, the elderly professor warned. "No, that would be too risky, my dear. Even when it is rendered outdated and replaced in favor with solar energy we use today, nuclear energy is still dangerous as ever. That is why the Union keep a very tight lid on their former nuclear technology ever since like sealing the Genie inside a lamp. If it were that easy for nuclear energy to create such powerful beams of light wielded by The Crow, Celestial Being wouldn't have created their advanced technology that produced those light particles by Aeolia Schenberg."
Graham guessed with speculation, "What if there is a connection between The Crow's special nuclear power that made its beam energy and the Gundams' light particles? What if The Crow could be a super prototype machine for Celestial Being but they later phased it out with the Gundams when they created their technology that had surpassed both nuclear and solar energy?"
"That does make sense. There must always be the prototype before moving on to develop a far more stable and better machine.", Billy smiled with approval.
"Just like the Union Blast...", Verna sadly muttered.
Smiling, Professor Ralph Eifman noted. "A sound theory, Captain Graham. Perhaps I will work on finding out if we could replicate the same feat for the Overflags like Mr. Chronicle's mobile suit. But I will modify one Flag just to be safe. We do not need a squad of mobile suits end up becoming improvised nuclear bombs."
"I volunteer, professor! Also, I want to have that beam rifle I took from him be part of my Flag's arsenal. We'll give him and the Gundams a taste of their own medicine.", Verna offered.
"I will grant your request.", the old man nodded in agreement.
-O-
At the AEU High Command, Brussels, Belgium
Colonel Kati Mannequin stood before the three highest ranked officers in the entire Advanced European Union in the meeting room upon being summoned. She snapped at attention, giving a picture perfect salute to her superiors. "Colonel Kati Mannequin, reporting for duty as ordered.", she said.
The female general in the middle stood up and saluted back before sitting down. "At ease, Colonel. Thank you for you being so prompt. We will cut to the chase. Celestial Being humiliated us the other day, made our new Enact look like a joke. We are not going to stand for this. You've been appointed take charge of this special team we're putting together specifically to take down the Gundams like our counterparts in the Union and the Human Reform League did."
"Gjallarhorn... Isn't it named after an object in Norse Mythology that would announce the coming of Ragnarok?", Kati questioned.
"Yes, we are aware of that, colonel. However, these Gundams are compared to the likeness of the Angels of Destruction by the religious. And so we decided to announce Ragnarok upon them with Gjallarhorn. Celestial Being have drawn the first blood and you, the AEU's best tactical forecaster, will bring victory against them with your strategies.", the male general with an eyepatch in the left explained with a knowing smile.
Nodding in agreement, the bespectacled woman said with a salute. "I see. In that case, I accept the position as leader of Gjallarhorn. Although I am surprised when the President of the AEU announced that beforehand prior to my summons here."
The other male general with an elegant pipe on his mouth in the right said, "It's a publicity stunt. After the Human Reform League's proclamation with their Chobu squad, our higher ups had to make a show by announcing about our squad that we are in the middle of forming and made good use of your well-known reputation, Colonel."
Barely holding back from rolling her eyes, Kati commented. "Well I guess it can't be helped. Who shall be the leader of the mobile suit teams for Gjallarhorn?"
"I am glad you asked. Send in Captain Klaus Grad.", the female general in the middle stated as she keyed the button on the intercom.
A man in an AEU military uniform with a beret entered the meeting room and offered a proper salute to Colonel Kati who returned in kind. "Captain Klaus Grad, reporting for duty as part of Gjallarhorn. Your reputation precedes you. I look forward to be working with you."
"At ease, captain.", Kati stated to the German officer before turning to the three generals. "Just so I'm clear on my orders, are we trying to capture a Gundam or The Crow, the bird-type mobile suit affiliated with Celestial Being, or destroy them outright? Because I've heard that the Union and the Human Reform League are most likely planning on capturing those machines for themselves."
"Capture would be ideal, but we won't shed any tears if all five of those monsters were reduced to scrap. You're going to be the one fighting them, so the decision will ultimately be yours, Colonel. Do what you feel you must.", the general on the right replied.
Captain Klaus wondered. "What about equipment and personnel?"
The female general on the middle responded. "As far as equipment goes, we have assigned a chief engineer, who had decided not go through his resignation out of protest after he had gotten a... very passionate interest on Gundams, customizing your personal Enact to better stand up to them in battle, Captain Grad. The modifications should be done in a few weeks. Your Enact will become the template for the rest of the squad's machines when you have a full roster."
The general on the left said, "As for personnel, Colonel Mannequin will be able to choose who will join the squad or not. But with some few exceptions from us, we are going to assign Lieutenant Patrick Colasour to Gjallarhorn once he recovers and is ready for active duty again."
The general on the right added, "Same goes with Lieutenant Gary Biaggi for his excellent mobile suit combat skills and experience which makes him a perfect addition to the anti-Gundam team. But he is currently unavailable for a while."
While he had a bad feeling with this Gary Biaggi character for some reason, Klaus frowned after hearing about the hotheaded braggart, "Do we have to, general? We all know he is the first to be taken down by a Gundam and made a fool in front of the AEU for his reckless behavior."
The general on the middle smirked with amusement before she pressed the button on the intercom, "I am sure, the colonel here will break Lieutenant Colasour down and make him learn some good old fashioned discipline. It will do great wonders for our so-called King of Mock Battles. Anyways, send our chief engineer in."
Entering the room is an older man with slicked spiky blonde hair, a goatee, green eyes and large build. He wears a red vest over a cream shirt, dark mustard pants and leather boots match with his cap and red-brown belt. "So, this is band we're putting together to take on Celestial Being, right? Rock on.", he said with a smile upon meeting the colonel.
"I heard from the generals that you almost resigned out of protest before you changed your mind when the Gundams first appeared. What is your reason?", Colonel Kati demanded.
Raising a vindictive stink eye at the generals who each of them are amused, ashamed and stubborn, the large man explained with a bit of a rant. "To tell you the truth: it's because I wanted to create original mobile suit designs, colonel. We got to stand out from the Union and the Human Reform League that have their own unique designs respectively. And be something cool and different! But nope, we got to rip off the Hellion out of the Realdo and then do the same for the Enact with the Flag!"
"And yet no one here in the AEU High Command accepted my designs! They claim that they are being way too impractical, inefficient and over the top when I proposed them. So they prefer the Enact over mine...", he said before smirking with vindication. "That is until the Gundams showed up and I was right all along! They embody the three things they derided about my designs for and yet Celestial Being pulled it off so freaking cool!"
Amazed at his passion, Klaus asked, "Is that why you stuck around? To want to study the Gundams up close if we somehow manage to capture it?"
The large spiky blonde man eagerly nodded, "That and The Crow too as well if possible. Scanning a mobile suit is one thing but getting close and personal is a whole new world for me to explore and discover new possibilities for my designs to become a dream come true! And you can use them to beat the Gundams at their own game!"
"On the other hand, The Crow has a similar beam energy with the Gundams but it doesn't have that same generator which emitted those light particles.", he then remarked absentmindedly.
"Alright, calm down. Save your questions and theories for later. Right now, let's get down to business to bring together the team before we go after the Gundam, Chief Engineer.", Kati sighed as she have to deal with this eccentric engineer, which she hoped that it belied his competence that earned him his place in the AEU's mobile suit research and development for a reason.
He introduced himself as he reached out his hand to her, "Alright then, I'm in. By the way, my name is David. David Halevy. But you can call me Coop. That's my nickname."
Shaking his hand, Colonel Kati Mannequin declared, "Welcome to Gjallarhorn, Chief Engineer David Halevy."
Author's Note: Alright the fourth chapter of "Meister of Your Future Chronicles" is done and I hope you like it. Also regarding the part about Setsuna vs Sergei, it bothered me that the Wild Bear of Russia didn't immediately take advantage of grabbing Exia's head and go wild against it. Instead he just stand there and go for trying to crush the Gundam head instead, leading to Setsuna retaliating. So with that, Chronicle is getting the memo that it ain't gonna follow like the show's episodes after the world saw the Gundam's image of invincibility end up broken and can be fought.
I gave some expansion on the unnamed anti-Gundam unit of the AEU that didn't get any focus in Season 1 of Gundam 00 aside from Colonel Kati Mannequin and her future husband Lieutenant Patrick Colasour which I decided to give them the name "Gjallarhorn" as a shout out to Iron-Blooded Orphans.
I checked about Klaus Grad. There's not much about him and his past other than he became one of the leaders of Katharon who opposed the tyrannical Earth Sphere Federation and its A-Laws in Season 2. Considering he had the AEU-09/LS Klaus's AEU Enact Landstriker Package that I found in the Gundam Wiki, he is clearly from the AEU and so I decided to give him a role as a member of AEU's Gjallarhorn.
On the other hand, I will have to focus more on Celestial Being on the next chapter especially the aftermath of the HRL Chairman's public announcement. Oh boy.
Enjoy and don't forget to review. :)
