Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Char's Counterattack
Sorry for the lack of updates, but my brain was invaded by the glory that is Char's Counterattack and SEEDs of Innovation.
Instead of Gundam SEED, I'm putting the CB guys and the local A-LAWS jackasses through the Second Neo-Zeon War, and unlike CyberSlayer128, no characters will be excluded. I'm an asshole like that. Saji's retardedness will end with the first battle. He's going to learn quickly.
CBS-74 Ptolemaeus II
Sumeragi was reading up on the GNZ-005 Garazzo that beat 00 earlier that day.
"This isn't good."
"Laser sensors have synced with Ptolemy."
The CB assault carrier entered the dock.
"Ptolemy landing in 3...2...1."
The entire ship came to a halt at that point.
"Connection is complete."
"Let's get started."
Test hanger
"Time remaining until Trans-Am commences. 8, 7..."
Setsuna tightened his grip on his controls getting ready for the start of the Trans-Am. "6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1."
Ian looked at the screen.
"Setsuna!"
"Roger. Activating Trans-Am."
Setsuna's terminal in front of him turned into the normal purple screen for Trans-Am just as a loud hum was heard through the hanger and 00 turned bright red and gave off a bright light which at first Feldt had to look away from until the viewing window auto tinted to darken the glow to let them watch as the 00 gave off thousands of particles.
"Topographical defect is moving to a high transition state."
"The amount of particles produced and output is increasing at the same time!"
Linda looked at her particle readings.
"We're above 180% of normal output and rising."
Anew kept watching the numbers quickly rising with each passing second that 00 remained in Trans-Am with the 0-Raiser.
"230...260!"
She was still slightly surprised by the numbers.
"We've exceeded 290%!"
"What?"
Ian looking over.
Feldt seemed to be the only one to notice but she saw that the entire room seemed to be filled with GN particles.
"It's exceeding theoretical boundary!"
Setsuna's eyes widened as the glow got even brighter
"Is this it's true potential?"
It wasn't a moment after when Setsuna felt a strange sensation; he looked at his right hand and could see as he moved it gave off afterimages.
"What's going on?"
Everything around him started to grow quiet and dark.
"Setsuna, are you alright in there?"
Ian's voice rang through the cockpit, but Setsuna didn't respond as he began to slowly close his eyes.
"Can you hear us, Setsuna?"
Setsuna opened his eyes back up until he felt a strong cold sensation which seemed to cut through his skull.
At that same moment, Anew shook her head feeling light headed herself having to turn her chair away.
"I don't feel so well."
She tried to get her vision clear as it would get fuzzy every few seconds. Anew tried to stand but almost fell to be caught by Lockon.
"Hold on, I'll take you to sick bay."
Lockon helped her up and started helping her out of the room with Anew still having a hard time keeping her head up.
Unknown to everyone on the entire station at Lagrange-3 a large concentration of GN particles had consumed the entire station and it had begun a process the moment that 00's Trans-Am had started.
The asteroids that surrounded the base disappeared and there was nothing but black while the particles continued to crawl along the surface.
"I feel...a presence..."
Setsuna grunted slowly losing consciousness in 00 Raiser.
Setsuna finally blacked out as Ian and Linda shut down the 00 from their position.
The moment that 00's Trans-Am stopped Lagrange-3 slowly as it's particle cloud disappeared, leaving it hovering in space with nothing around it except debris from a foreign battle long ago.
3 hours later
"What happened?"
"No idea, and we lost contact with the other facilities!"
Sumeragi frowned.
"Ma'am, by the look of things, an A-LAWS task force followed us here, but now they're confused. And by the look of things, someone's attacking them."
"Katharon?"
Feldt looked amused.
"No. These guys are actually giving them a hard time."
"The only people who can give A-LAWS a hard time use Gundams!"
Feldt's eyes widened.
"Oh, my. Those are..."
The image was enhanced.
"That's a Gundam!"
Outside the facility
Kati Mannequin ordered that all GNXIIIs and Aheads to launch and engage the enemy.
"What the hell are those things?"
"Patrick, send me an image of the enemy units."
"Got it!" An image appeared on the screen.
It looked like the Gundam that took out Patrick Colasour's AEU-09 Enact five years ago, but it didn't have the huge sword, but a normal arm and a beam rifle, along with a shield and a pair of beam sabers on the hips.
Even the head was different, as it had a visor instead of two eyes. (AN: OK, it's just a fucking Jegan!)
And they coming from a ship that Kati couldn't even see.
The only thing that they had was the IFF: MSC-07 Albion. (AN: Another ghost from Operation Stardust. Besides, I couldn't think of any other ship)
"Holy shit! These guys have better units then us!"
The GNXIIIs and even the Aheads were being outclassed by the unknowns!
"The enemy ship is closing in! It's targeting our escorts!"
MSC-07 Albion
After Operation Stardust, the Albion was decommissioned, as it was feared that the AEUG or pro-Principality of Zeon forces would steal it.
But at the beginning of the First Neo-Zeon War, she was brought out of the mothballs for service in Londo Bell.
In this war, the beginning of the Second Neo-Zeon War, she was equipped with 21 RGM-89 Jegans and a single RX-178 Gundam Mk II equipped with a psycommu system, for testing it before the psycommu frame system was installed on the RX-93 Nu Gundam that was to be assigned to the Ra-Cailum.
At this time, chief pilot Lieutenant Ronald Pinkerton, a fledgeling Newtype, was preping the RX-178PT Gundam Mk II Psycommu Test Type for launch.
"How many ships?"
"A small fleet: 10, maybe 12, plus a small supply train."
Ron activated the psycommu.
"Goddamned Neo-Zeon idiots. You lost the One Year War, and that means it's over. The Federation never loses a fight." (AN: Which is true: the OYW, Operation Stardust, the Gryps Conflict, the First and Second Neo-Zeon Wars, eventually the Third, the Cosmo Babylon War: all ended in Federation victory, Pyrrhic or otherwise)
The Mk II was raised up onto the catapult.
The popular top-mounted launchers (used on older Salamis Kai-Class destroyers) had already launched two Jegans and now he and another Jegan were ready for launch.
"Ronald Pinkerton, Gundam Mk II Psycommu Test Type, launching!"
The RX-178PT launched, and led the force.
"Alright, people. Disable any MS we encounter. I want Char's forces to answer for this!"
The rest of the Jegans launched, then followed their Gundam-piloting commander.
Then one of the ships (which looked like a sword or a WWI dreadnought) launched a number of odd looking MSs.
"Too bad they didn't surrender. Would've made things a lot easier for them!"
He locked onto one of the lead MSs with his Beam Vulcans, another weapon he was testing.
"Disable them!"
He fired, and the lead MS's cockpit (which was located in the crotch, for some stupid reason) was crippled.
"Nice shot, sir!"
"Shut up and shoot! Leave the elite units to me!"
He aimed his beam rifle at the different units.
"To the right, to the left. Are you going to fight me to the death?"
He got his answer in the form of missiles.
The 60mm Vulcans in the forehead intercepted the missiles, and he got shot at by a beam Vulcan of their own.
"GUNDAM! DIE!"
Using his beam rifle's beam bayonet, he blocked a strike from a stockier version of the elite types.
"Surrender now!"
CBS-74 Ptolemaeus II
Cherudim, Seravee and Arios were ready for launch.
"One of them's actually a Gundam! It's engaging the enemy forces!"
"Then we'd better support him."
"Tieria, he's not using Celestial Being IFF. None of them are. They're not even using GN drives."
"Can't be Katharon, for obvious reasons."
"Ma'am, the assault carrier's turning toward us."
"Intercept their transmissions!"
"This is the Albion! Unknown ship detected! Could be a Neo-Zeon vessel!"
"Goddamn it! All Jegan teams, RTB! I'll handle it. Albion, fire at the enemy ships! Most of their MSs are screwed, anyway."
Feldt looked at it's course. "The Gundam is heading right for us! And it's got an anti-ship warload!"
Then a red-white beam pasted by the ship.
"Whoa! Launch, before he hits us!"
"Unidentified vessel, this is Lieutenant Ronald Pinkerton of the Earth Federation's Londo Bell unit. If any of you weren't paying attention, that shot was meant to. Identify yourselves or you will be fired upon by the Albion."
"He said 'Earth Federation', not 'Earth Sphere Federation'!"
Lasse looked back.
"What's the difference?"
"These guys are using Minovsky tech! That's one of the keys to GN drive technology, and that guy's using a reactor to power his Gundam!"
Sumeragi's eyes widened.
At least it explained why the Jegans were more then just holding their own against the GNXIIIs and the Aheads: after all, GN Tau particles lacked the Minovsky aspect.
That was why they needed to be made in Jupiter orbit, because helium 3 was needed to make reaction to create true GN particles.
After the first start-up, it wasn't needed anymore.
In fact, the helium 3 was used to made E-carbon for the Gundams.
"The Gundam is closing in."
"Hold on! There's a larger number of Mobile Suits incoming!"
Then the pilot's image appeared on the screen.
"If you've got Mobile Suits, launch them! Those are Geara and Jagd-Dogas!"
"Launch the Gundams!"
One contact was giving Feldt a hard time.
"One contact's moving faster then the others. Three times faster." "WHAT? DID YOU JUST SAY THREE TIMES FASTER?"
Feldt was a bit scared.
"Yes?"
The Gundam pilot was practically screaming.
"IT'S CHAR! IF YOU'VE GOT AN ELITE PILOT, GET HIS ASS OUT HERE, NOW!"
Sumeragi noted the fear in the man's voice.
This Char was someone to be afraid of, if his reaction was something to go by.
"Albion, contact the Ra-Cailum! We need HELP!"
My first non-THAB Gundam story, and if the number of readers I've gotten for Dead Geass and Hero's Comeback are anything to go by, it might just be a hit.
Plus, this is the first proper UC/AD Gundam story, as I based the first few paragraphs on SEEDs of Innovation, (a proper CE/AD cross) and hopefully, the first of many to come.
Besides, something to do until Unicorn episode 4 comes out.
Banagher: "Hey!"
Author: "What? Those bastards at Sunrise take too long with those things! They always find ways of making up for it, though..." (Starting putting together Gunpla version of the ADF-X01 Morgan)
Setsuna: "Where the hell did you get that?"
Author: "My brother make it for me."
Setsuna: "Hand it over!"
Author: "Nice try, but I have a friend who says otherwise."
Lelouch: "Fuck off! Wait, no!"
Comedy and Geass: something I'm good at.
Next Time on Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Char's Counterattack: The Red Comet Strikes!
Who will survive?
Amuro: "Quit ripping shit from the original Gundam series!"
Lelouch: "Go fuck yourself! Shit, no!"
Ja Ne, everybody!
