Gundam Seed: Kira Reloaded c30

As Lacus walked to the doors, she opened them without hesitation. On the other side, she saw Athrun dressed in casual clothes.

“Athrun, what can I do for you?” Lacus asked casually.

“...”

For a second, he looked perplexed before sighting.

“...You were right. He did defect from Earth Alliance.” The blue-haired teen commented.

“It wasn’t my intuition. He said that himself or more like hinted that it was a temporary service.” He explained before motioning to come inside.

“Do you want some tea?” She asked him, the very least she could be a proper hostess.

“No, it’s fine. I won’t be staying here for long. I am here to tell you that I was assigned to a special force to destroy Strike and Kira Yamato.” 

“...”

Lacus didn’t look surprised or had any sort of expression.

“...You have nothing to say?” 

Though he looked surprised.

“...The way you are, you will never defeat him.” She said while shaking her head, her voice was full of conviction.

“...What do you mean?” He asked with slightly narrowed eyes.

“Conviction.” 

She said a single word without explaining more.

“...Conviction?” After repeating it, he got angry.

“All those lives, all that destruction…” He exclaimed while looking away with anger.

“Evil or good doesn’t matter. What matters is conviction in doing it. After all, he never wavers against you or ZAFT, coordinators, or naturals. He continued to pursue his goals.” She said with a small smile.

“I suppose that is why I like him a lot, " she said, looking to the side as she recalled her return to PLANTs. Everything is quite dull here, or more like it has lost its colour before the fateful incident in Julius Seven's debris field.

“...Ha, I suppose both of you like to speak philosophy.” He joked before turning around and walking away.

“Take care, Athrun.”

As she said, she pondered what to do with Freedom Gundam. They can delay that machine for a little bit more, but with Patrick Zala’s anger issues, they could force that machine to launch sooner rather than later.

[Miss Lacus, Earth Alliance just declared war on Orb Union.]

“So it has begun. We need to wait for Father before taking action.”

[Should I relay a message to him?]

“Tell him what Athrun said to me.”

[Very well.]

Lacus took a deep breath, as she was nervous! No matter how great Kira was, he was in danger nonetheless. She had confidence in his abilities, but he was still just a person who could make a mistake or exploit it.

~~~~~~Meanwhile, Orb Union~~~~~~

“So it happened?” Kira walked into a meeting room where all of the cabinet members had gathered. It felt strange for him to be in such a place, but Lord Uzumi wanted to see him, so he might as well answer his call.

“Indeed, it's a huge fleet with nearly fifty warships carrying their new Strike Daggers. It’s a full invasion fleet.” Lord Uzumi showed a lifestream from one of the observation mobile suits.

“I see. Do you want me to deal with it?” Kira nodded before asking the question.

“...Can your machine fight that many of them?” One of the cabinet members asked him in disbelief.

“No, I can’t. There is no need to do such a thing. When you fight a snake, you only need to cut its head.” Kira walked over to the screen and tapped the middle ship, which looked like the biggest of them all.

“Murata Azrael is my target, and I shall erase him.” The Ultimate Coordinator, on purpose, made sure everyone heard how much he disliked the ‘politician’ of the Atlantic Federation. By this point, it’s no longer a secret that Murata Azrael supports terrorism and is the leader of Blue Cosmos.

“Very well, then we shall tell them that we disagree with their conditions.” Lord Uzumi nodded. Since he has such conviction then, he believes in the unbeatable Kira Yamato.

“You can tell them that if they value their lives, they should turn around and return from whatever shit hole they came from.”

“...”

Snort

“Do it.”

The leader of Orb motioned for the official to type it just like that.

“...Y-Yes…”

~~~

Aboard a carrier in a huge Earth Alliance armada, the captain of the carrier received the message.

“Sir… we have a reply from Orb.”

“Oh? Are they surrendering?” The blue suit-wearing blonde man asked with an arrogant smirk.

“...I would prefer if you read it yourself.”

The captain handed over the message.

“... ’If you value your lives… turn around and return to whatever shit hole you came from…’ these filthy space freak lovers!” He clenched the datapad and threw it to the floor.

“I don’t care anymore! We are attacking NOW!” the blonde man exclaimed loudly with a furious look.

“B-But Sir… we gave them a couple of hours.” The captain reminded him of the grace they gave them.

“I don’t care! Attack! Now!”

“Y-Yes, sir.” The captain nodded with a sweaty forehead before looking at his second in command.

“Launch mobile suits we are attacking.”

“Yes, sir! At once!” The second in command turned to face the comms officers.

“Begin the invasion!”

~~~

Over a hundred Strike Daggers were launched from the warships. At the same time, countless missiles were launched from them, and they all rushed towards the defensive perimeter established at the beaches of Orb’s main military island.

However, instead of hitting the defensive lines, a blueish-purple beam erased all of the missiles.

“...w-what is that!?”

Murata Azreal exclaimed as he saw one machine floating in the air.

“...T-That’s the Strike!”

“Filthy traitor! That’s our machine! Launch Forbidden, Calamity and Raider! I want that machine destroyed!” The blonde man exclaimed as he pressed a couple of buttons and got linked directly to the hangar.

“I want you three to destroy that thing! Do you hear me clear?” After instructing his minions, he looked at the floating machine in the distance with a bloodthirsty grin.

“...Sir… S-Strike has sent a message to us.”

“Oh? What does that filthy space freak want?” Murata Azrael looked at the captain.

“...he said for betraying him, he will make us scream for… mommy.”

“...”

“...”

“...”

For some reason, the entire bridge felt a cold chill washing their backs.

“...hahaha… oh really?”

“Let him come then, with that relic he has! My Calamity, Raider and Forbidden are developed from Strike and other original GAT units!”

~~~~~~With Kira~~~~~~

[Sir, I have located the main warship. It had launched three new mobile suits. Its GAT-X252 Forbidden, GAT-X370 Raider and GAT-131 Calamity.]

“Ha, Moron, the only reason I haven’t started slaughtering you is because I didn’t know your exact location.” Kira snorted as he clenched the control sticks.

“Let’s show these third-rate mobile suits how a Gundam fights!” Kira exclaimed with legitimate anger. He was furious, looking at what the Earth Alliance had created! 

“These are not Gundams.”

As he said that, he rushed towards three mobile suits.

He pointed one of his high-impact rail guns at the first mobile suit and shot it.

But that moment, a greenish mobile suit with a scythe moved in front and took the blow… but sadly for him, the attack shredded the mobile suit's top.

“Is this the second generation GAT units? What joke. You can’t even take a single shot.”

Kira used open comms to annoy these guys as they swiftly tried to regroup the red mobile suit, which had plane-like mode, shifted into its MS form and launched a mace at Kira, who ignited his Mirage Colloid system and became extremely fast and rushed forward, moving around the incoming mace and proceeding to shoot his beams at extremely close range.

The beams blow up the red machine into bits.

“That’s two. Only you, fake Buster, remain,” Kira commented as the remaining blue machine with heavy weapons screamed through the comms.

“You bastard! I will kill you for this!!!”

Missiles and green beams rushed at him.

“You call this firepower?”

Kira scoffed before using his neural link to switch to artillery mode mentally and pointed his rifles at the incoming fire and the mobile suit behind it.

“This is what firepower looks like.”

He pressed the triggers, and two beams escaped from the barrels, rushed towards the missiles and green beams, consumed them, and continued flying towards the mobile suit.

“NOOO!!! AGHHHH!!!”

An explosion followed after a scream as the mobile suit was erased. The beam continued and eventually destroyed one of the warships in the distance.

~~~

“I-Impossible! Do they even know how much it costs to develop those machines!?” Murata Azrael exclaimed with horror and disbelief after seeing his praised machines blow up like that!

“S-Sir… Strike is coming for us!” The captain looked pale as he saw the machine flying towards them.

“Y-You fool! Send everything we have at that freak!” 

“Send Strike Daggers at him! Quick!”

Groups of Mass production mobile suits rushed towards Kira’s Strike, but they were erased with casual shots from those stupidly powerful beam rifles…

Eventually, Kira flew higher and used artillery mode to blow up all the ships around the main one before landing on the carrier ship’s deck and pointing at the bridge with one of the rifles.

“Murata Azrael, fancy you meeting here.”

Kira’s face appeared on the main screen of the carrier ship's bridge.

“K-Kira Yamato! What do you want? " the blonde man asked in a trembling voice. He was thinking about how to escape, but all he could see around him were sinking ships.

“Nothing, really. I'm only here to waste some time as my AI is wiring all of your money to my bank account.” Kira said while looking at his monitors. It looked like he was overlooking something.

“W-What!? What nonsense you are speaking, space monster!?” Murata felt like someone was ripping his soul out!

“I am speaking of space monster stuff, you ignorant caveman. Do you think you are the only one who can speak racist language? Just how retarded are you? Using my OS to build your machines? Using my schematics to improve your models? Do you think you are smart in copying other people's work?

Did it ever cross your retarded mind that it could be a set-up?”

Kira showed a mocking smile as he showed him Moruta’s bank account, which was in negative… by several million.

“You are quite loyal to your bank for it to allow you to take such loans.” Kira looked impressed by such numbers.

“I-Imposible! There are preventive measures for such high amounts of money! You are messing with my head!” Moruta spoke with a delusional tone as he wanted to believe in his own words.

“True, but I faked most of the things necessary long ago. Do you realise that I was at the Alaska base? You morons left the data centres running. There was a paper trail, hell you morons helped me to raid several bank accounts of other Blue Cosmos members.” The Strike’s pilot shook his head while saying that.

“Y-You bastard! I will fucking kill you!!!” Moruta pulled out his handgun and started to shoot at the monitor.

But at that moment, a beam erupted from the barrel and erased the bridge of the carrier as Strike lifted off and watched how a chain explosion made the carrier ship explode in flames and start sinking.

“So much for one of the main villains,” Kira mumbled to himself as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Finally! He did it!

“Legion, since we have that money, make sure you cut any trails.” Kira didn’t want any of it to come back to him. Well, it will come back to him, but he has ‘videos’ where Murata funds him… So yeah. He will embarrass Blue Cosmos, too.

He is certain they will want his blood even more, but they already wish him dead either way…

[Already on it.]

“Good, then let’s finish this.”

Kira moved his Strike to the side as he saw that all of the Strike Daggers in the air were frozen in disbelief.

“Last chance. Return from whatever shit hole you have come from, and you might live.”

Sure enough, the mobile suits and whatever of the remaining warships proceeded to retreat after shooting the retreat flares. 

“Well, well, this time it worked.” Kira chuckled as he looked at battery readings… it was showing 32% of the remaining energy.

His bluff worked, but it was fine, considering they had Buster at the shore, which was keeping the frontlines secure.
