Song of the Storm Wolf

By Storm Wolf77415

They were the best that the Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty had to offer. The fourteen men and women were officially designated as a team by the last name of their commanding officer. This designation was rarely used. They were known better by a far fiercer moniker, by both their comrades in arms, and their enemies on the battlefield…the Storm Wolves. Whenever they fought, it was as if they shared a single mind, hunting in a pack like the canine from when they derived their name.

Their leader was a decorated ZAFT veteran. Although he had born in Kansas City, MO, as a citizen of the Atlantic Federation, he was fiercely dedicated to his adopted homeland. He fought in the attempted blockade of C.E. 69, at Junius, and at the Battle of Yggdrasil as part of the team commanded by Rau Le Creuset. He was awarded the Order of the Nebula, and the title of "Supreme Ace" for his part at the Battle of Jachin Due, and it was there that he earned his nickname and thus named his team as well.

Sebastian Connor, the Storm Wolf of Jachin Due. At first glance he seems like any normal 18 year old, 5'6'', dark brown hair and blue eyes, hardly an impressive sight, but if one looks deeper into his two cobalt pools, they'll find much more depth than there should be for a man his age, the look of a seasoned warrior who had seen combat several times over, perhaps too many times. Many people said that he and his teammates were invincible. Then the Battle of Endymion occurred and everything changed.

June 2nd C.E. 70, Endymion Crater, Earth Alliance Supply Base. 2245 hours.

"My God! How am I going to survive this?" was the only thought that raced through mind of the pilot of the white and green CGUE. As he pushed to its maximum speed, drawing his massive custom built katana, and slicing through two Moebius mobile armors, while using his custom built machine gun to destroy a Zero.

We're winning, but at this rate, it'll be a pyrrhic victory. No point in being a winner if everyone on both sides are dead.

"Storm Wolf Leader, this is Storm Wolf Five, I'm under attack, and-AUUGGH!" the frantic message cut off. Sebastian glanced at his display as the blip representing Duncan Cooper, Storm Wolf Five, blinked out.

"Damn it! We've lost Cooper! Nine, this Lead, What got him, Shawn?"

"It was an Igelstellung battery, Boss. Tore him up like paper!" replied Shawn Mason, Storm Wolf Nine, and Sebastian's XO.

"Those cockbites! That's four people we've lost! It's time to get serious!" Sebastian yelled, Sebastian then opened his mouth and let out a piercing animalistic howl. The sound that the gray timber wolf is most famous for is not a normal sound one hears on the battlefield. But there were those on both sides who knew that sound very well, and one of them came through on Sebastian's radio.

"Alright Storm Wolf! It's time we settled the score!"

"Mu La Flaga? I agree, this day, one of us shall stand, the other shall fall!"

Sebastian's CGUE accelerated toward a Moebius Zero as its wired gun barrels were deployed. Sebastian used his custom sword to slice one of the control wires away, where the gun pod promptly exploded. Even with the advantage of his mobile suit, Sebastian had to be careful. Mu La Flaga was regarded as being the best Natural pilot around, and having the skill to use the Moebius Zero to its fullest potential, and Mu was pulling out every trick, every bit of experience to keep the Storm Wolf on his toes.

Both men were determined to see that their personal war would end here and now. However, fate had other plans for these two warriors.

"Lead, this is Nine, radiation levels in the base are spiking like I've never seen before! Something's up!"

"Oh fuckberries!" Sebastian said, "They couldn't, they wouldn't! Storm Wolves abort! Get out of here now! La Flaga, if you value your life, you'll get your ass as far away from here as possible!"

Forgetting all about his nemesis, Sebastian aimed his CGUE skyward and put everything into the engines. Sebastian could immediately sympathize with everyone who says they feel their brains get sucked into their feet at launch.

"Storm Wolves! Report in!" yelled Sebastian.

"Sorry boss, We're too far in the base! We're not going to make it!" said Shawn.

"Don't you talk that way to me soldier! Remember my order that I gave everyone on our first day? We all come back alive!"

"You also said that even if just one of us survives, then the others will live on through them. Be that person commander, never forget us. Goodbye Sebastian."

And with those final words, the Cyclops system activated, and entire base exploded in a flash of white light. Mobile suits and armors alike melted away like ice cubes in a fire, among the machines destroyed were 9 white-and green GINNs, with the black silhouette of a howling wolf on it. Sebastian could only watch and listen as his entire team died and heard their screams. He let out a final cry of anguish before the white light consumed him and all went black.

January 25th, C.E. 71, Orb Space Colony Heliopolis, 0543 hours.

Sebastian sat bolt upright in his bed, his nightclothes and sheets dripping with sweat.

"Ugh, the same damn dream again! Endymion was another life. It's over soldier" He said to himself. Sebastian got out of his bed and padded over to the small kitchen nook of his apartment, where he pulled a bottle of water out of the refrigerator.

He then sat down on the side of his bed, and stared at three silver picture frames sitting on the nightstand. One picture was of a massive group of people, over a hundred sitting on the lawn behind a massive house, a large banner which said "CONNOR FAMILY REUNION" strung up behind them. The date on the picture read, 2-14-70, 8:03 AM. The group of people in the second picture was not as large as the first, only 15, but they were just as important to him as the people in the first picture were. The third frame did not contain a picture, but rather an ornate certificate that went with his Order of the Nebula, including an addendum declaring him as "Supreme Ace."

"I'd better get to school. Old Kato will cream me if I'm late. Even if it is my last day", Sebastian thought with a grin, "Shame really, I've gotten fond of this place, But if ZAFT tracks me down, then I have to be ready to leave in an instant." With that, Sebastian got dressed, pulling on faded blue jeans, a gray t-shirt, and a pair of silver rimmed aviator-style sunglasses. He pulled a gun belt from his drawer. People familiar with old handguns would recognize it as a Heckler and Koch .45 USP Tactical. He also strapped to his side a katana in a dark green scabbard, the handle ornately carved with the head of a wolf. He also removed his Order medal from its place of prominence and hung it around his neck, tucking it into his shirt.

He then pulled a duffel bag and backpack out and began packing them. It doesn't take much for this is all he brought with him when he arrived on the colony in October. The three frames go in, as well as few articles of clothing that have significant personal meaning to him. After packing his bags, and turning in his key to the landlord, Sebastian headed down the street toward the technical college he had enrolled in. Sebastian was unaware that in a few hours his life would be changed forever, and the Storm Wolf of Jachin Due would return to the hunt.

Author's Notes: So it begins. Who is Sebastian Connor? What changes in the Gundam SEED universe will result with his involvement? Those fans of Solid Shark's "Birds of a Feather" no doubt will see the similarities between the introduction of this story and his. While "BOF" was the primary inspiration, I have my own original plans for how the story will unfold with Sebastian's influence. I also would like to apologize to any Kira/Lacus fans. It's not that I hate the Pink Princess of the PLANTs, just the opposite in fact. I think she's very cute, but I have other plans for her. Instead Kira will never end his relationship with Flay. I know she's a manipulative bitch, but Sebastian has a surprising link to her, which will make Flay think twice about Coordinators and thus using Kira the way she did. Other changes will unfold, I just haven't figured out what those are yet.
