'"
Several days later in Japari parks mountain area
After the events at Quiz forest. Both groups composed of Kira Yamato, Athrun Zala, Shinn Asuka, Setsuna F. Seiei, Allelujah Haptism, Tieria Erde, Raccoon, Fennec, and Marie Parfacy who is still clinging to a confused Serval. After investigating the wrecked sewers for survivors, and about a day to both search for Lockon and wipe out the Celliens in the area. The group decides to take the survivors and head to the mountain area in order to get the surviving Friends to safety. Adding several carts to the train they form a convoy made of the original train and several carts, supplies, and other gadgets which is protected by the Gundam meisters and their Gundams.
The ZAFT trio are coordinating with Celestial being on what their next move will be. With Athrun and Tieria devising future plans with the help of Raccoon and Fennec. Tieria notes. "So this Kemuri mountain in the Gokkoku region is where most of these Friends are hiding?" "That is right nano-da. Apparently there is this ancient spaceship that was buried there and its been repurposed as a hideout." Raccoon notes with a smug smile on her face. Athrun then adds. "Still, how are we going to get to Gokkoku? Were in the Kyoushuu region and we will need to cross the sea to get there." "And that is the Celliens or the sandstar don't cause more problems." Tieria commented.
Shinn then asks. "So, how did you guys get here anyways?" Setsuna cuts in noting. "Same way you did actually. From what I can tell our old world was destroyed and all of us were thrown all over the place." "Well you're the innovator so I guess were taking you at your word. The Friends look confused especially noting Setsuna's metallic silver hair and tanned skin with Fennec wondering what is going on. The young innovator simply smiles as he explains who he is.
"The world we came from was an odd one. Mysticism, high technology, aliens, whatever Tails doll is. It is, was a bizarre world that we lived in. As for us we are Celestial being. A paramilitary organization dedicated to the end of war for all time.
Theme of Celestial being: Daybreak's bell, op 1 season 1
"Centuries ago Aeolia Schienberg a revolutionary physicist founded our organization in secret. Gathering allies among the greatest mind of that era he designed the concepts of solar power networks, mobile suits, and the GN drive. A solar furnace capable of creating endless power that can be fit on a medium sized jet plane. Then 200 years later began our armed interventions under the pretense of ending war thru the usage of war. But little did we know the truth back then. How traitors in our organization helped create the A-LAWS, an independent peace keeping organization with goals of world domination. And their leader Ribbons Almark.
Tieria then took over for the rest of the explanation. "Ribbons was an Innovade. A series of artificial humans created to guide humanity into Innovation. Originally the very first meister. He betrayed us and set himself up as the shadow ruler of Earth. At least until Setsuna achieved Innovation. Retaking the quantum computer VEDA. And slaying Ribbons after a fierce battle. Disbanding the A-LAWS and saving the world. Just in time too. For some came the dialogues that were to come."
"The ELS or Extraterrestial Living-metal Shapeshifters came to earth from their dying home world in another galaxy. A sentient hive mind of liquid metal beings that live in gas giants capable of using Quantum brainwaves. They are capable of assimilating anything and learn to copy its knowledge, as well as learn how to transform into objects, people, and technology. Even those as complicated as the GN drives. Setsuna tried to communicate with them but almost died as the ELS sent their forces to Earth. And they would have consumed everything if Setsuna didn't recover and make contact with them. Afterwards we went to the ELS home world to learn about each other."
Raccoon at first is amazed at hearing that story but then asks. "But, if you went to a distant galaxy, then why are you still here?" Tieria simply smiles and says. "That is not important." Causing everyone in the caravan to fall over. Fennec meanwhile stares at the ZAFT trio and asks about their life story. To which Kira answers. "Well we are... Or were part of COMPASS or Compulsory Observational Making Peace Service. Except Athrun who is an ORB spy."
Theme of Radiant ZAFT: Invoke, opening 1
"In between the interventions of Celestial being. The space colonies orbiting Earth were seeking their independence. I was living in a neutral until it was attacked by the Federation. In the chaos I met my old friend Athrun and helped steal the GAT series Gundams that they were developing in order to escape. Since I was a wanted fugitive charged with stealing state secrets. Athrun convinced his father to let me into ZAFT under his command and pilot the Strike Gundam."
Shinn notes "Isn't Athrun from Canada?" Athrun answers. "French Canadian, born in Quebec and then went to the colonies as a child."
Kira continues his story. "There were also three other members in our group. Athrun's rival and perennial sourpuss Yzak Joule who is now a commander in the force, the artillery expert with a mouth Dearka Elsman, and Nicol Alfmani, who died in a friendly fire accident..." After a second or two of silence the tale continues. "Shinn then joined us after Yzak and Dearka got transferred. He was a new recruit but he managed to work his way into the special forces like us. But then we discovered that Athrun's dad was planning to use a super weapon on Earth out of revenge. While Blue Cosmos, a cats-paw of Ribbons used the situation to take over the military and attack the colonies. Even though we stopped both groups and killed both Patrick and Azrael. We ended up getting discharged during the fallout. And ever since then we have been living as civilians and fighting our own rouges gallery. Alongside Tails doll who we found haunting the house we bought. And Lalah who for some reason ditched Char even though she was his sidekick."
Shinn remarks. "Talk about a crack ship." Leaving Kira confused about the situation. Athrun then adds. "Good thing that Kira is loaded due to his patents involving the Astray OS. He's the reason why we could buy that California mansion and later on the trailer home for the road trip."
After hearing all of that Raccoon stands up and eagerly begins telling the tale on how they all met. While Fennec remarks that ZAFT really loves acronyms. Athrun quietly remarks that his father had an entire department dedicated to Google search stuff to make acronyms with. Complete with annual budget and trained personnel.
Theme of Friends, Youkoso Japari park, season 1 op
"We were chasing a hat thief. Found out that the hat was part of Kaban-chan. Then Kadokawa killed Kaban and replaced with that Kyururun weirdo. And that's it. Everyone except Fennec looks at Raccoon if she's crazy and Fennec just looks at her friend with pity. "I'm not crazy nano-da! How else do you explain our situation?! And my hat?!" The Friend then takes off her hat which looks exactly like Kaban's.
As the group continue their discussion. Gundam Harute then flies overhead in its fighter mode with Allelujah reporting. "This is Allejujah here. I've located the entrance you talked about. There are no Celliens anywhere so we can head there safely. Still is it really under that run down building?" The Lucky beast driving the train tells him that the building has an underground cafe where they can rest and disembark the refugees. Athrun then muses. "The question is how do we cross the sea? I doubt the Gundam's can carry us. And we don't know where the Ptolemaius is located."
"Mew, mew, mew..." Serval who is still being held by Marie as the two sit on the convoy. With Marie in utter bliss while hugging Serval with the latter looking at the skies and asking someone to save her.
Chapter 8: A lack of mercy
Mar 21 t.h. 8932, Villainous class Parasite
The Villanous class was traveling thru the stars. With nothing really better to do the crew of the ship parked around the orbit of a nearby frozen planet where the crew is making a show over watching the storms below which gave off a rainbow glow. It's commanders the now Admiral, Admiral Perry. And Doctor Von Aldenbarnevelt. Now promoted to Vice admiral directly under Perry. Much to the bullet headed robot's dismay. By virtue of being the only commanding officers that survived getting stomped by Super Sonic and Super Shadow.
The duo remember the terror they felt when they were called to face the grand general. Especially with the rumors they heard. With her buzzcut hair, a mask that is straight out of Gundam. And a tense aura that permeated the room. And if it wasn't bad enough all three kings were watching thru their screens. The immortal true rulers of the current IFS and the ones responsible for the current war. All three of them are evil monsters and most people are too afraid to mess with them. Aside from Barragan Nacht who is the most involved in military matters. A creepy old zombie who is capable of killing anyone with the gas his rotting body produces. He's also the ancestor of the former admiral who was killed by the mobians. But to the left and right of him are Makara Floronix and Pennen Nenemu. The three all wear stylized purple long robes with yellow, red, and blue accents respectively with a mobius strip ornament in their lapels.
Barragan Nacht, Makara Floronix, and Pennen Nenemu
The three kings of the IFS
Makara is a Scra, from the self named Scra hegemony. One of the five founding races mainly because they have lots of money to fund the magical girl war. Of course you wouldn't notice that as he is one as he is hiding his face in a red Klan hood that is falling apart and been held together by leather belts and a metal plate with a gas mask. With one bloodshot eye showing from a hole and twitching every so often. His power is plant manipulation. Mainly turning his body into thorns, vines, and so on. And the poison he produces is not good for his health. And Pennen is a pale skinned elf with half of his face replaced by a cybernetic that covered much of his face with a glowing cybernetic left eye. He is also quite out of shape, having a visible gut showing from his robes. He is a tech genius and apparently violates the taboos as he creates computer viruses and his cybernetics are connected to the network which he uses to spy on both enemies and naked ladies taking a shower.
The four stared at Perry and the Doctor. With the latter one long having fainted while standing up. With Barragan asking. "Are these the survivors of the battle?" Pennen notes that they are while meticulously pointing out their entire life down to the smallest details. Makara then freaks out screaming. "Dren a uoy siht daer nac uoy fi!" At full volume with Pennen cutting of his feed. "(sigh...) I told him that joining the cult of Chtulu was a bad idea..." Mami then begins her statement in a cold and ruthless manner. "Vice admiral Perry. As the captain of the only craft who survived the attack of Mobius. What did you think of the situation?" Perry composed himself and explained. "Those aliens were shockingly powerful. Honestly I don't understand how a local problem could destroy the entire burial fleet. This has never happened since the high republic days. And this never happened to the burial fleet." Mami bitterly admits that the fleet has gone downhill ever since Kagemusha was ousted. Having gone from the best terrorist hunters in the south kai sector. To a bunch of thugs and incompetents. Pennen finishes with. "Basically, your orders are to aid the Eternal now in killing those rebels. No one humiliates me after all." Everyone in the room silently looked at Mami who had to verbally backtrack into saying "us." "Also, the grand general, the weapon, and the mercenary will be joining your crew." Barragan notes as he grooms his mustache. With Mami getting up from her chair and leaving. "Well, what are you waiting for?" She leaves the room with Perry slinging his partner over the shoulder and quickly following his general.
The Villainous was quickly repaired and resupplied. And then shipped off to rendezvous with both Suzune who is flying towards their location somehow. Doctor had told Perry about Suzune. Some sort of secret weapon that was thawed out of stasis and modified heavily, According to the rumors she was used for experiments involving the Carbon initiative. Perry himself thinks its nonsense since everyone involved had long passed away at this point. Outside of some outliers involved in the final battle of Proxima C. Where the incubators and their supporters were annihilated. And then this Alexx Kidd guy who has such a hate boner for Sonic that it isn't even funny. He was already in Illiad IV dealing with that creepy space church guy.
Perry's thoughts were broken when Doctor entered the captains quarters commenting. "So now we're an admiral and vice admiral respectively. These people ARE aware that i'm a science officer not a military commander." "It's not like it matters." Perry remarked while twirling his mustache. "We're just here for decoration. The real power lies in the grand general." The two get a message informing them that Suzume has arrived. And that she actually did fly all the way here under her own power much to the amazement of the duo. Who rush to meet her in the hangar as soon as possible.
There the duo meet Suzune with Doctor showing a brief moment of shock before being snapped out it by his superior who merely salutes at the bee woman. "You must be Suzume. I am Admiral Perry, captain of the Villainous. And yes I am aware that this isn't how its supposed to work. But we are forced to work with what we have." After a moment of silence Suzume merely walks away ignoring everyone. "Rude little brat..." "She's been converted, just like that girl." Perry's beady little eyes widen as he realizes the situation.
Roughly twenty years ago. Doctor Von Oldenbarnevelt was recently promoted to the capitol. The mobile space colony Zeon zum Deikum. The capital of the IFS orbiting the planet Center. A gas giant with twenty resource moons know as the center of Andromeda. It's location and everything surrounding it is known as the Central sector where worlds like Cittin, home of the space church reside. Lunataz. which is more a series of asteroids that have been converted into large cities and factories. Which according to rumors has a functioning stockpile of nuclear weapons. And Planet HC-2000. A strange world forbidden to enter where those who fall thru the temporal anomaly in the atmosphere are never seen again. There he was dragged by a series of doctors to aid in a special operation. As the robotic life-form enters the high security medical ward he sees a young auburn haired girl not older that a grade schooler strapped into a table, bound and gagged with heavy duty straps enhanced via dark rods which prevented the use of magic.
The medics Doctor included strapped on specialized medic guardsmen gear. Exactly like the standard suits. Only lacking most of its plate armor except their gauntlets and boots and painted in pale white. Their visors are a flat screen instead of the typical Y and posses more advanced sensors tuned for medical purposes. Doctor always found driver avatars weird even if he understood the logistics behind it. As much like with vehicles a set of standardized parts and equipment made usage and maintenance quicker and cheaper. And that humans are so basic that they serve as a perfect template for a general infantry suit. As Doctor looks at the terrified and naked little girl the head surgeon readies the bone saw as mechanical components are being wheeled in. Doctor just looks in horror as the medical team dismember the girl. Carving open her chest and opening her ribs before implanting a life support system into her chest which binds itself to the girls organs. A black boxy device that is utterly outdated by modern standards. Something that was only used in the early second err third history. Before CR chambers were widespread. The girl was clearly miserable. Unable to scream because of her gag, even as her arms and legs were being sawed off with input plugs taking their place. After several days of ethically impossible surgery the girl is strapped into what essentially is a mobile iron lung. A boxy gunmetal mechanism with cream accents that covers everything below the head. Possessing fully artificial arms and a hover unit for legs with the appearance of a long immobile skirt. As well as a familiar graduation cap. Her eyes are lifeless as her mind had clearly been destroyed and has been reduced to a silent puppet.
The head surgeon then looked at Doctor and told him. "Underling! Take Lady Hiiragi to the Grand General!" Doctor realized that it was the chief librarian of CENTER, Nemu Hiiragi who simply passed him by. "What is a librarian doing here?" Little did he know that he would get his question answered in the worst way possible.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE YOU BIG TITTIED BITCH!" Touka Satomi screamed at Mami Tomoe who is standing surrounded by dead Guardsmen whose bodies have been reduced to charcoal. With scorch marks all across the room. "Betrayal insurance. After all how else am I going to get you to release the great calamity?" Mami smiling smugly at the incredulous Touka who retorts on how can a fellow veteran of the magical girl war actually do this. The general simply replies with. "Hiiragi san." Who rockets towards the young girl and chokes her throat. Desperately trying to fight back, Touka begs at the point of tears at her best friend to stop. Her voice having a palpable mix of fear and despair all the while Mami calmly prepares herself a cup of tea as she watches her subordinate fall unconscious. "Hiiragi-san. Take the girl and toss her off the airlock. As for you, you saw nothing." Mami punctuated her statement by shooting Doctor's right kneecap with a musket. Sending him on his knees as another group of guards show up and carry the robot away. "And now it begins..."
Back in reality, Doctor realizes that everyone has left and the ship was warping. He freaks out and rushes to then bridge to joins the others.
Mar 23 t.h. 8932, Bablen hospital, Illiad IV
Nanairo wakes up watching the roof of the floor. Noticing that she is bedridden and that Carlos is asleep in a seat next to the bed. "What happened?" That's when a dwarven doctor enters the room noting that his patient has woken up. "I see you have woken up miss." Become reprehensible. The short stocky humanoid with a white lab coat with his peoples chain mail and loose fitting robes inside laughed. His portly flame and bright red hair combined with his hearty laughter made him look like a younger Santa Claus. Except for the bushy beard. Being shaved off due to hospital regulations due to hygiene. Calming down Nanairo asks where she is to which the medic explains. "You are in the world Illiad IV." Nanairo thought as much as the world is a super earth. A planet four times the size of Earth with a similar atmosphere and massive oceans in between the landmasses where massive super-storms fueled by underground volcanic activity that wreck the coasts. To the point that the population centers are located in the more inland regions. Its native life is short and stocky due to the heavy gravity and if it wasn't for the fact that most life are now cyborgs to an extent the world would be uninhabitable for colonists.
Carlos then wakes up and sees Nanairo fine. With tears in his eyes he hugs the girl who hugs him back saying. "You came for me." "Of course! After all you are my daughter!" The doctor leaves and looks at Sonic and company. With the exception of Kon who is drinking the day away on a bar a few streets down the hospital. "The girl will be alright Mr. Sonic. Still, its a good thing you got her here when she did. "So, you'll keep quiet about this right?" The doctor smiles and notes that this isn't Neo America and that doctor patient confidentiality is kept.
Later on Sonic and Tails are communicating with Sally on the hospital lobby using the Mileselectric giving her an update and coordinating their next move. "So now we have the attention of the Grand general, Snively turned traitor alongside that ambassador, he used a little girl to power a giant robot, and they're probably since the planet they were on exploded because the big tittied loli is too strong." The princess sighs in frustrations as she recounts their own problems. "And our side someone has reactivated Eggman's robots, and a black goo monster rampaged across Soleanna and Silver went after it." Sonic remarks. "So, Tuesday?" "Pretty much. Anyways at least Miss Kanzaki is back home. And is requesting our aid. She wants us to head to Neo Edo to aid in the Sakura ritual." Tails questions if the Combat Revue can deal with it. With Sally noting that something or someone is affecting the barrier. An exasperated Sonic complains. "Did Ciseaux come back to life again?!" Nicole then joins in noting. "I'm afraid so, and this time he brought help. Tails looks at the data and snarks. "An eviler AKB48. Joy..."
The lynx AI downloaded the necessary files to the Mileselectric which show the three other members of Ciseaux's gang. The combat revue black. A trio of defectors composed of their leader and center Prana Tosei. An icy woman with short white hair in a bobcut and white eyes. Wearing a BLACK uniform. A black colored uniform with golden highlights, simple black gloves, and black boots with heels. With hers having a miniskirt, short coattails and a commissar cap. Kurumi Saimei a chipper girl who is arguably the most stacked of the three and long lilac hair and eyes, with the former being tied up into a bow. Her uniform has large coattails and a white ascot. And Meisa Akashi, who is course has a crimson colored long swept hair and a black bow on her hair alongside a stern and bored expression. She wears an asymmetrical long-coat with a crimson showgirl skirt on the left side of it.
Nicole continues her explanation explaining that the revue is planning an operation to rescue the original revue who sealed themselves inside Shadow Tokyo and they request additional help. Then Amy appears with Carlos who asks if they are talking to the resistance. Sally confirms it to which Carlos replies. "We wish to defect." Something that throws everyone for a loop as they listen to it.
At that time Knuckles and Gekkou are sending Sayaka and Kyoko back to the Sakura orphanage using a taxi van. Where an atmosphere of awkward silence all around. The driver, a middle aged hanyuu with an arabic complexion and white hair with black streaks who is visibly overweight. Is unnerved to it all and is trying to break the ice with a conversation. "So... What's your stories." An apathetic Knuckles rambles on with. "Well, aliens invaded my island, killed all my friends and family, kicked me out of it and left me for dead, spent the next two or three months fighting robots, aliens, and magical girls, and then comes the insane Char clone with a god complex destroys reality and recreates it twice. The first one into an island where I was hunted down for ten years by armies of monsters for sadistic thrills, then we get invaded again, and now we have to deal with the government and its super powered cartoonishly evil billionaires. At least until 2024 when they just became super powered evil billionaires." The freaked out taxi driver simply replies with "Greeeat." In a thick Hindi accent as he continues driving until they get stuck in a traffic jam. "Oh great! The space church!" The passengers question what is going on, as a massive parade passes thru the streets.
A combination of a military and religious procession with Blitz panzers. Speedy one man hover tanks with an angular bus like appearance with rotating turrets, one being a high powered cannon and twin rockets on each side. More rotating interceptor cannons in the back. And front mounted twin vulcans for the same reason. Elepha panzers a four legged heavy walker with elephantine legs and a turtle shell frame with vulcans a colossal particle cannon underneath with plasma sabots on the side. All in the same white and blood red coloring of the space church. The church speeder that are guarded on all sides by Guardscrusade whom are similar to the Guardsmen only wearing white and red coloring with large pointy Klan helmets and a cross shaped visor and horn like earpieces, Robe like armor, especially in the arms on the sides wielding very large machine guns. And the Space Pope Babylon the 666th.
Space Pope Babylon the 666th
Lover of children
A short stocky Alzak with bleached white scales with white papal robes underneath a purple leather coat and fur lining. An expensive silk scarf with actual gold lining. Expensive jewelry including rings and bracelets. Expensive sunglasses with tinted lens and a large white hat with a crowd of 50 caliber bullets. Sitting in an opulent platinum throne smoking marijuana lit by 5000 meseta cash and surrounded by young naked boys chained at the neck and two guards dual wielding chain guns in a large open air and energy shielded hovercraft powered by gasoline and spewing noxious fumes at the crowds which cannot leave as even more armed guards are pointing their guns at them with orders to kill. Behind that is a platoon of Church Guardsmachines which are the same as the regular version only white and red and powered by nuclear energy that vent weapons grade uranium fallout. Both sources of energies being rare and incredibly expensive.
Gekkou and Knuckles look at Sayaka and Kyoko. Both of whom deflect all accusations as smog fills the streets and everyone is force to get out and flee from the pollution alongside everyone caught in the traffic jam. Unknown to everyone there is a Vortex bomber recon type, Which uses a large radar dish on top of the craft. And replacing its normal wings with a pair of dagger shaped wings with detachable disc shaped drones, hovering in the skies above alongside a pair of Fighters as escorts. Using its drones to locate the heroes, the taxi driver, and the Puella magi. Then informs and order the ground forces to chase them down. The Blitz panzers then line up to the confusion of both the civilians and the Guardscrusade and begin firing off their main cannons that kill everyone they see and destroy the cars in the way as everyone flees to no avail. The Elephan panzers then head to the sides and use their heavy cannons to demolish nearby buildings as the Waltzer's circle the pope-mobile in a circular defensive formation.
"What's going on Gekkou?" "I don't know Knuckles. But we need to leave now!" A communication is then heard from Tails saying that he and Amy are heading to help while helps with the evacuation of the patients to the ship. He's also tried to get in touch with Kon but its no good. Of course Sayaka and Kyoko escape Team Sonic and look for a way out of the city. Sneaking into a supply truck which was leaving town."It's this a good idea Sayaka?" "Why should we help the rebels?!" "Self preservation?" The blue magical girl ignores her companion and the truck leaves the blockade.
Meanwhile Gekkou, and the taxi driver were still fleeing while Knuckles was holding the army back. Dodging and weaving the shots until getting close enough to punch, kick, and toss tanks and walkers left and right. Unfortunately for the echidna the Blitz panzers scattered and used hit and run tactics, firing their cannons at Knuckles. Shooting at all angles with one of the Elephan's readies its primary cannon as the tanks continues to fight. "Not good!" That is when the walker is crushed underfoot by Voyager-Oh, with Sonic and Tails as the arms which go on to wreck the rest of the enemy armor with is guns that easily chew thru their hulls. Amy then shows up and picks up Knuckles mentioning that everyone has been evacuated to safety.
Babylon freaks out as he orders both the Guardsmachines to intercept and to get him to safety no matter what. The pope-mobile then goes on to plow cars and buildings, as well as the occasional pedestrian with no mercy. The waltzers draw their beam long-swords. Beam swords with a long and flat beam edge. Sonic summons Caliburn and easily out duels and dismantles the Waltzers with ease. Going in a straight line and decapitating the first one, diagonally bisecting the second one, and thru a quick repositioning dodges a sword strike and impaling the third one causing them all to explode. When the others surrounded Voyager-Oh and tried to jump him. It simply somersaulted above them. Cut off the legs of the two nearest ones who fell on top of their fellows knocking them all down as Tails finished the job by turning around launching a barrage of missiles that destroyed the Guardsmachines before separating into it's components and flying or driving off in Sonic's case into the distance. With the latter adding insult to injury as he drives over the broken down mechs.
Afterwards they alongside the rest of Team Sonic took the Starpatrol to the nearby port of Babylu to drop off the remaining civilians including the dwarven doctor and the taxi driver. With the grateful townsfolk thanking the resistance members. Kon who was dragged into the ship during the chaos boasts. "And once again we have saved the day!" Amy backhanded Kon telling him. "You didn't do anything except wreck our monthly budget! Do you have any idea how hard I work to balance the checkbooks?"
Carlos and Nanairo also thank Sonic and company and decide to stay here and protect the people. Sonic gives a thumbs up replying. "No worries! After all helping people is what the resistance is all about." Nanairo then steps forward to apologize about what she did. Sonic smiles with Knuckles patting the girl in the head. "Don't worry. Anyways I think its time we get going." As the team heads back to the Starpatrol. Sonic clutches his head in pain as a familiar voice speaks to him. "Really? Now you're acting like a hero again?" "Shut up! I won't let what happened in Spiral island happen again!" "If you really believe that, then you know what to do." The hedgehog is snapped out his trance by his friends who ask if he is alright. Sonic simply shrugs it off. "I'm fine guys. Now let's go, we have things to do after all." Sonic then flashes back to when he kicked Eggman into that black hole, seemingly killing him. "You can't be dead Eggman. Can you?"
Mar 25 t.h. 8932 Heidi Alps, Sakura orphanage
Ost: Kakariko village thene, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time"
After a day and a half of travel Sayaka and Kyoko finally reach the Sakura orphanage. Utterly exhausted and collapsing in the middle of the field where a group of children find and drag them back into the orphan The Sakura orphanage itself is located in an out of the way open field surrounded by forests and mountains with a single two lane road linking the settlement. The building itself a fairly large house With an old timey look composed of wood and stone. With the wear and tear of millennia of repairs, maintenance and replaced components. Itself located in the center of a large field of flowers with stones buried underground in random areas. Meteors made of pure steel that had crashed long ago. Left alone as the world possesses a large amount of what would be considered rare metal. Dug out during the days shortly after the magical girl war.
While unconscious Sayaka finds herself in a dream where her body is disappearing as long buried memories of her old life come back to the surface. "What is this?" The bluenette asks in confusion as she sees images of Sayaka becoming a Puella Magi to heal a boys hand who ends up with another girl in a school uniform and what best be described as seaweed for head. Listening to a violin. Then seeming herself and Kyoko fight to the death with the latter impaling the former in the heart with her spear, only to survive. She then saw her many deaths. With most of them having her become a witch. Whether it's getting blown up by Homura, getting blown up by Kyoko in a murder suicide, getting destroyed by Walpurgisnacht who crushed her to death with a giant flaming cog, getting mauled to death by her own witch, getting torn apart by familiars, blowing herself up to stop a powerful Wraith, getting shredded into bloody chunks by Kirika Kure, Getting stomped by Kagemusha and her master Kagami in a battlefield, dying while being experimented on by the Reibai who revive her over and over, and dozens more.
"What is going on?!" Sayaka screams as she clutches her head when then images all vanish and she ends up finding herself in a dark room with two spotlights bringing it its only light. "Seriously what is going on?" Then a voice comes from the darkness stating. "So you have regained your memories? Pity, Kyoko spent so many years hiding the truth from you." A figure comes from the darkness and into the second spotlight. Revealing herself to be Kagemusha which immediately infuriates Sayaka who tries to fight back only to be blown away by a surge of power. "You always were the weakest one of us. Yet you've always looked down upon me. Treating me with disgust and hostility. Frankly I should thank you." Kagemusha's helmet and armor vanishes, revealing a young and slender human woman lacking with the cybernetic left arm that she is known for. She wore pitch black mourning dress with long black hair in braided twin-tails and red rimmed glasses. With her eyes and expression revealing the deep hatred and smug satisfaction that the girl had toward Sayaka. "I should thank you actually. After all thanks to you I have obtained true power. And achieved what none of you could do." Sayaka is then bombarded by memories of the rise of the Great Calamity, a skeletal witch called Homulilly, Madoka having her powers stolen, and her attempting to confront the devil. Which leads Sayaka to a revelation. "Transfer student! How?!" Her mouth then erupts in a surge of fire burning her throat and tongue.
Sayaka coughs out smoke as Kagemusha explains to Sayaka her situation. "Let me put this in a way that even you can understand. You lost your memory during the magical girl wars. Somehow your amnesia managed to prevent you from dying as the timeline restored itself. After all you were supposed to be dead in the original timeline. Essentially you deluded yourself into thinking that you were still alive and that delusion was so strong that it broke reality itself. But now that your past is returning. Reality is once more reasserting itself. Which means that you will die soon." Sayaka looked shocked at the revelation. Refusing to believe it and accusing Kagemusha of more lies. She then gets her mouth exploded for her troubles.
She then wakes up in a bed to a concerned Kyoko and Yuma alongside several orphans outside. Kyoko ends up tearfully hugging Sayaka much to her shock. At least until they notice Sayaka phasing in and out of reality. Kyoko looks down sorrowfully as Yuma and the children look on confused. "So... It's happening?" Sayaka sighs in resignation commenting. "You girls better sit down. This will be a long story."
After listening to Sayaka's story, Kyoko is left banging the nearby wall in frustration while Yuma was flat out crying. The latter yelled. "Isn't there any way to save mama?!" With the former bitterly stating. "No, Sayaka was long dead. Also our immortality was removed thanks to that masked bitch..." And then the door outside is knocked by someone. One of the orphans a little goat girl opens the door and notices that Suzume and Alex Kidd are outside. "So... Are Miki and Sakura here?" Alex notes as the girl nods in confirmation. Which leads to Suzume punching clean thru her head and then goes inside while Alex watches. "Sonic isn't here so i'm raiding the kitchen."
Meanwhile Suzume leaves a path of carnage across the orphanage. Killing fleeing children in brutal ways without any emotions. Until Sayaka, Kyoko, and Yuma meet Suzume and witness the horror she inflicted. An enraged Yuma rushes to fight the enemy with a hidden knife, only to get slapped into a wall knocking her out. "We need to leave Kyoko!" The duo then flees, escaping the building and heading to the forest with Suzume in an unflinching pursuit. Alex also leaves, carrying a giant ham with him. "Wait for me wasp girl!"
"So what bow Sayaka?" "Remember the traps we placed Kyoko?" "Oh!" The duo flees to the forest canopy as Sayaka continues to phase out. "I won't let them! This place is Kyoko's dream! If I die, i'm taking her with me." The duo enters the forest where they split up in opposite directions. Suzume finds herself confused at the situation before a series of explosions consume her, followed a paint can to the face. Alex finally catches up and comments. "Just pick one and go wasp girl!" Suzume silently nods and begins to chase Kyoko leaving Sayaka to Alex. At least until a metal pipe is swung smack dab in his face knocking him into the floor. "What is this? Home alone?" The assassin falls unconscious leaving the ham to be eaten by a nearby fox who then takes a dump on his face before leaving. With Yuma pursuing the others with a shotblaster. A shotgun like weapon with a large square muzzle with vents and a large power pack that its placed in the back that fires "pellets" of plasma energy in a spread pattern.
Eventually Sayaka and Kyoko end up crashing into each other in the depths of the forest. As they hear the destruction occur over the woods. They sigh in relief, believing that they will be safe. Until Suzume explodes a large cypress tree with a single punch. While Kyoko simply admits that they are doomed and resigns herself to death until Sayaka lunges at the bee woman with swords drawn. "Bee woman!" Only to get slapped away and begins to walk towards Kyoko. At least until Sayaka tosses herself at her foe. Trying to grapple her in vain since she gets constantly punched and kicked away constantly. "Sayaka! What are you doing?!" "I won't let her kill you Kyoko! If i'm going to die! Then i'm taking you with me!" Sayaka focuses her magic and all the energy in the vicinity into herself before releasing it all. Leading to a colossal explosion that consumes most of the forest. A massive blast that Yuma notices and heads to and with Kyoko injured and burnt. Struggling to get up even with her injuries she witnesses the destruction and the smoke coming out from the center. Then Suzume walks out of the destruction with Sayaka blown to pieces as her remnants vanish. The redhead summons her spear and points it at the cyborg. But her armor begins to crack and break as her helmet shatters revealing her face and identity. "No way! You were supposed to be killed! Shizuka Tokine!"
Shizuka Tokime was the former head of the dismantled Tokime clan. Or at least the ones who sided with the incubators. And were slaughtered to the last man, woman, and child. With the village burnt down and any stragglers butchered to the last. When Kyoko heard the news she was shocked to hear them as Sayaka was legitimately indifferent, seemingly unaware of the situation. At that time she still had her whole memories and she was just plain bitter about it all. Her youthful face and long gray hair hasn't changed in millennia. But her eyes are dead inside devoid of any will. Silently walking forward as sparks fly and pieces of her armor is falling apart at the seams. For the first time since she was rebuilt into Suzume she actually took damage. Damage that Kyoko took advantage of the situation by turning her spear into her whip mode and striking the cracks in her armor and doing damage to Suzume, Bringing the bee woman to her knees. Retracting her whip into a spear. Kyoko then pieces the chest armor and tries to yank it off. When she gets blindsided by Alex Kidd who kicks her in the head and orders Suzume to retreat. The remaining two combatants face off with Kyoko commenting. "What do we have here? The loser who always gets stomped by Sonic? You should also get lost. While I'm feeling merciful." Alex replies by punching the ground, both causing it to quake and giving him air time to close the distance and punching the disoriented Puella Magi in the face. Causing her to fly off, recovering by planting her spear on the ground and using the momentum to swing around it and kick Alex in the face. She then pulls out her spear and strikes but Alex's fists block and parry every attack. With her use of her whip being countered by him grabbing the pole and slamming her into the floor with it.
Yuma then appears and watching the carnage aims her shotblaster at Alex from a considerable distance. The shot misses though as shotblasters like shotguns are not very good at long range and Yuma was roughly 700 yards away hiding from the trees. Both Kyoko and Alex notice and witness the terrified young girl desperately aiming at the mercenary. "Yuma run!" Alex punches Kyoko as the former who continues to shoot and miss and front flips towards Yuma who tries to shoot him point blank. But Alex was faster, punching her in the gut, backhanded her in the face, kicking away the gun and taking it for himself. Finishing the combo by shooting her legs and drop her into the ground. And when Kyoko jumps in to protect her ward with spear held forward. Alex simply dodges, points Yuma's gun at the back of Kyoko's head, and pulls the trigger. Blowing her brains out, killing her instantly. The mercenary king simply dusts himself off, smiles and leaves. Stealing the shotblaster and keeping it for himself.
An hour later Yuma is dragging herself back to the orphanage in tears, collapsing at the entrance in the same way her parents did earlier on. "Kyoko-mama, Sayaka-mama. I'm sorry... so sorry... You took me in. You gave me my name. And done so much for me. I won't allow it to end this way..."
As for Suzume and Alex, the latter helped return to the Villainous where the bee woman was rushed into the medical bay. "Impossible! Sayaka Miki did that?!" Perry remarks as the medical crew alongside Doktor rushes the injured Suzume. With the robot showing concern about the situation. Something that the admiral notices. "I hope that the two are dead at least." "Well, the blue girl poofed a la DBZ. And the red one had her head blown off." Alex then shows his shotblaster and shows it off while stating that it's his now and walks away to find Sonic again.
Suzume was placed into an RC chamber, As an oily mix of stem cells and nanomachines kept under control by the chambers medical computer with a rather unpleasant smell floods the chamber as the recovery process begins. The Doktor questions how did the IFS manage to salvage the corpse of a Tokime clan member. "Strange, according to records not even KRF-000 was an exact genetic match to its donor. Shame that everything is classified. Still, it would explain how they could modify the Hiiragi girl like that." At that time the whole situation is being overseen by the three old men who were meeting with each other. Watching the situation with the ships security cameras all the while the trio debate the situation. "i'm surprised that you managed to maintain the corpse of that Tokime girl for so long." "It wasn't us Barragan, the cyborg was located in a warehouse that once belonged to the KRF. It seems that she was used as a test subject for project carbon." "Makes sense. By the way how are the experiments going?" "President Yperite says that everything is going fine. The slaves are being uppity but our Guardsmen are dealing with it." Makara then speaks up. Talking in spanish with a sexy Antonio Banderas voice. "Senores. Acaso no es posible que la Puella Magi recupere su memoria?" After a moment of silence Barragan replies. "He's got a good point!" Pennen simply chuckles and remarks. "Then maybe its time for Suzume to outlive her usefulness."
Mar 31 t.h. 8932 Castle Acorn, Green hill zone
Ahiru Arima was waking up from bed to another day. Getting down from the top bunk in what has more or less become their room inside the barracks of the castle. The duck girl looks at Fakir who was still asleep in the bottom bunk. And ends up smiling at him as she heads to the bathroom to wash her teeth. The bunk itself is fairly sized. And outside of the bed there is space for a desk, a computer terminal, a private bathroom with amenities, and a large number of books, papers and other material which belonged to Fakir. Duck didn't really have much. After all she used to be a mere duck instead of a magical transforming duck girl. So she's never really given it much thought about owning things.
After that she went to the mess hall. Essentially becoming an unofficial part of the staff. While the rest of the staff was busy with other things, she was busy making her special once a week hotcakes which have proven popular with the castle staff. That is when Fakir and Touka entered the hall with the former being upset that Duck let him sleep in. Touka simply snarks. "You should be grateful that you have such an understanding wife. You were up until two in the morning writing that manuscript." Both of then blush while Fakir tries to deny it only to fail.
While Ahiru still hasn't heard of the whereabouts of Drosselmyer. She has settled into a rather content life. Touka is smugly bragging about her new invention that will boost everyone. Only to admit that she got help from the Reibai group much to her annoyance. That is when a portal opened in the mess hall, revealing Monika who lands on a table and accidentally smashes the plates to the staff's annoyance. "Ahiru, Fakir, he has appeared." The duo's expressions shift into horror with Ahiru screaming. "Drosselmyer!" Everyone is confused until Touka speaks up. "Drosselmyer? As in D.D. Drosselmayer?!" Fakir looks at Touka and asks if she knows him. "He was supposed to be one of the Calamity's servant. But when everything fell apart he left taking one of the Circe drivers with him." "So where is he holed up Monika." The AI girls expression has become dead serious. "Gold crown town." The room turns tense as Ahiru and Fakir, who are natives to that town look on in terror. "And that's not the worse part."
A trio of voices cut off the conversation as they echo across the entire castle. "Not so fast lady!" "If anyone is explaining this gig its us!" "Shame really, as these prepubescent fools cannot hop to..." "Hmmph, hmmph hmmhp hmmp!" "Now you face the dark shadowy wrath of !" A group of five color coded warriors in ninja gear appear. Each one demolishing a table from which people were eating. Their avatar suits are composed of a black body suit, colored pauldrons, gloves and boots. And masked faces with goggle like visors. They are wield electric guitars which they shred before saying their names. The pink one who is a girl with a long blonde ponytail is Tsunade, the green on with large square rimmed glasses and a verbose nature is Jiraya, the fat and yellow one with a large muffler that prevents his speech is Bob, the blue one with aviator shades is Hanzo, and the red one with a coattail and no indoor voice who leads the crew is Sasuke. With all of them declaring. "Guitar ninjas! On stage!" With the five going into a random shredding session. "Oh come on!"
Sasuke explains. "Okay twerps! Listen up good! We are the Guitar ninjas!" The five-some begins to rock once more. Much to everyone's annoyance. "And we have your friends tied up! And Lilie! So come to... Does that castle even have a name?" Blue simply answers. "Mytho's castle?" "Mmmph!" "Yes, Mytho's castle! Be there!" The ninjas begin to rock as they disappear, vanishing into thin air. After the ninjas leave Ahiru freaks out screaming. "Fakir, we need to save our friends! And Lilie." Fakir meanwhile is silent trying to think of a solution. Normally he would use his powers to find a solution. But Drosselmyer is not only superior to Fakir even years later. But as his ancestor is well aware of Fakir's limitations. That is when Monika spoke up. "I already sent Ranger to hide in their shadows. Once he gives us the location we will head there immediately. Shortround is also available so i'll call him up." Touka also leaves heading to inform the rest of the resistance.
Apr 1 t.h. 8932, Sol dimension, Pirate planet starry sea
Silver pulls himself up from a sandy beach in the middle of nowhere. Looking into the sunny skies the psychic hedgehog while thinking. "Elise... Just you wait! I will save you!" Looking around and finding a settlement. He heads towards only to fall into a trap hole and get surrounded by rifle wielding koalas. Not unlike the ones protecting Blaze back in Soleanna. Silver simply uses his telekinesis to fly out of the pit, shocking the koalas who begin to panic among themselves. Clearly realizing that they have no idea what to do next. Silver looks confused and gets caught unaware when a flurry of hail smacked the hedgehog to the floor as a small raccoon girl walked towards the guards. The raccoon girl is a short and energetic brown furred raccoon with spiky twin-tails. As well as olive green captains uniform, and shoes with orange and white highlights, complete with a green captain's hat. Silver gets up, clutching his head in pain and gets up. Noticing the raccoon girl and looking confused at the sight of the girl. "It's that you Sticks?" "Who the bloody heck is this Sticks? You are talking to the guardian of Southern island and leader of the Coconut crew. The great captain Marine the Racoon!"
Marine the Raccoon
Captain of the Coconut crew
The raccoon crosses her arms in a smug manner as if expecting praise. Only for Silver to turn around and leave. Causing Marine to turn into water and cut off Silver who is legitimately caught aback by her powers. "Did the Osakan pirate girl just turn into liquid?!" "Wait, stop it!" The girl said as she was breaking down in tears. "Blaze trusted me to keep the island safe and now all of this is going on!" "Wait, did you say Blaze?" The koalas notice the name with Marine demanding an explanation.
"Well, i'm looking for a friend of mine that has been possessed by a horrifying black creature." Mr. Popo walks into the scene, looks at them all and leaves. "Anyways, i'm kinda busy so I kinda need to go now." That is when a series of Iblis worms erupt and surround everyone. And Silver and Marine getting into a battle position much to the shock of each other. With the duo using their telekinesis and hydrokinesis to demolish the worms.
To be continued...
The stories of Celestial being and Radiant ZAFT are pretty much the gist of ZAFT of the radiance's story and setting. Only becoming more serious due to the grimmer tone of Sonic Arc. Also personality changes had to be made as the ZAFT trio was created at roughly the year 2007. Long before Gundam SEED Freedom came out and Shinn was a crazy jackass.
The Combat revue BLACK are antagonists of the gacha game Sakura Revolutions. A game that failed so badly that it re-killed the franchise. The group is essentially an evil version of AKB48 with 108 members competing for the twelve top slots whose modern pop idol aesthetics contrast with the Imperial Combat revue's theatrical roots and iconography.
Pope Babylon is primarily a parody of pedophile priests, money in religion, and the cult called the World peace and unification church, better known as the Church of guns and its leader Hyun Jin Moon. Who actually use crowns made of AR-15 bullets. This is real. I swear to God.
The Guitar ninjas come from a Princess Tutu meme. So it would make for a good reference for Drosselmyer's goons. They also have Super sentai elements but are more directly inspired by the Axem rangers.
