Mikazuki Augus, MY favorite Gundam pilot. PERIOD! For his cold nature towards his enemies, to his downright BADASSNESS when piloting Barbatos, heck even when he's outside Barbatos he's still badass, and the kindness and proctection he shows to his friends all reasons as to LOVE HIM!

I dare to say that he may be as awesome, if not better, than Setsuna F. Seiei, YES. I WENT THERE!

The anime may gave a bit of an unfitting death, still though, I can't say I'm disappointed because he went out LIKe. A. BOSS!

What pisses me off the most about this series though is how underrated it is, like seriously, Gundam series like 00 as well as many other anime serious only got 50 episodes as well, and they are still very popular to this day, I know Gundam IBO may take time, but seriously I was expecting INSTANT FAME when season 2 came out.

BUT! NOPE! NONONONONONONOOOOOOOOO! It is still not as popular as most Gundam series, WHY?! WHY…?! Why…? T_T

OK! Calming down… calming down.

Fanfiction still exist and I still have hope within me that in the future GIBO will become a lot more popular, as well as the fanfiction community of it.

So a Cross Ange and an IBO cross over, if you're a TRUE anime and fanfiction lover, you will have heard of "CROSS ANGE: Rondo of Angel, Dragon, and Unicorn" by CasualFictionWriter23.

Guy's awesome when writing stories, and his story is the one that has inspired this one. Relax though cause I don't plan on copying many aspects of his story, I plan on adding my own unique twist and turns, that, and the fact that the pilot will be Mika.

So I hope you enjoy guys, because this is my first time writing a Gundam and a Cross Ange fic.

It was a battlefield that could be described as hell itself. So many Mobile Suit pieces had been scattered everywhere and they littered many areas of red earth.

However, among the Mobile Suits, three stuck out the most.

One was the colour of sand and missing two of its four arms.

One was dark green and had its frame was similar to that of a Graze.

The last one that stood out was white with a foreboding golden crest and fear-inducing red eyes.

The latter was probably in the worst shape out of the two. A part of the crest had been broken, an axe was stuck onto the cockpit, and many bits of its armour were missing. It looked as bad, if not worse than the sand coloured MS.

(Iron Blooded Orphans OST 2 : 23 My Own Way)

Akihiro Altland piloted what was left of the sand coloured Gundam, the Gundam Gusion Rebake Full City. Unfortunately, he already died when fighting against Iok Kujan, the latter of which was crushed by the Gusions 'Gundam nippers'.

Julieta Juris was piloting the newly repaired Reginlaze Julia, which had barely taken any damage at all. Currently, she was engaged in combat with the white Gundam. The Barbatos Lupus Rex, piloted by Mikazuki Augus.

And Mikazuki Augus piloted the Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex with its limiters removed, hence why its monitors were red.

"You... you devil..." That was all Julieta could say about Barbatos as it was gripped the head of a Graze while the cockpit was still attached.

Inside the cockpit of the Rex, Mikazuki was covered in both blood and bits of metal that pierced his skin, His eyes were very slowly losing the life in them, and his limbs were beginning to feel weak.

Even so, he was still able to keep going. He could still fight.

...

"I've never had any purpose before, but..." his words were quiet as he spoke, as if their was very little life in his lungs left. He could only utter so much with all the blood he lost and how tired he was feeling.

But he was able to utter out the words about the people he held dear. The people that matted more than his own life.

"But now... I have a purpose that Orga gave me." A purpose which many thought was impossible for Human Debris.

Being able to have friends and family that you want to protect.

'I used to have nothing at all... but now... so many things are... overflowing from my hands now...'

Barbatos began to turn towards the Reginlaze, its red eyes still glaring at everything in sight even as it began to breakdown, 'Yeah... we've already made it there...'

"What is it with you?!"

Julieta at this point could not understand the purpose of this battle anymore. Many soldiers have died, and the "Devil of Tekkadan" was next to dead at this point. Even though Barbatos still standing, it looked as if it was ready to explode with just the lightest touch.

"So why...? With no cause to commit to, why?!"

Mika just charged at her, with no acknowledgement as to what she just said. The tail that originally belonged to the Mobile Armor Hashmal thrusted towards her. But instead of the ferocity it showed as it whipped and stabbed through the other Mobile Suits, the tail dropped lazily next to the Reginlaze.

Too make sure the tail would no longer cause her any problems, Julieta began to shoot at the it and the cable it was connected to, and then proceeded to shoot at the Gundam itself.

*Bang!*

The bullets pierced through the joint that connected the shoulders to the torso unit, and the explosion reached inside the cockpit. While it did not harm Mika, it seem to be a way to tell him something.

'Looks like... this is it... huh?' And yet, he kept going.

Barbatos didn't slow down as it made its way towards its prey. Despite lacking its limbs and tail, Mika still went forward, and it costed him greatly.

With one slash, the Reginlaze sliced off the armor that covered the cockpit. The white section of the armor came off, and soon after the red part of the armor with the Tekkadan symbol engraved on it fell, revealing the infamous Mikazuki.

With one good look at the pilot inside, Julieta could confirm one thing, "He's... already unconscious..."

...

'But... we still made it...' and with that, Barbatos tipped forward towards the enemy MS, barely able to move around with an unconscious pilot and the amount of damage it took.

'The place where we truly belong in.'

Despite the fact that they were enemies, Julieta hesitated to do anymore damage than needed. This pilot was already knocking on death's door, so what's the point of needing to mutilate him even more? Besides, he is one worthy of respect. To not even be awake in the middle of a battle, and yet still able to willing to fight, that is a quality many soldiers lack. But even if that is true, it's also best to end this quickly, to spare any more physical pain that the pilot may be feeling, and to honour a soul who fought to the very end.

And so she drew her sword back...

(Music end)

Mikazuki, in his unconscious state, could still sense what was happening around him, and he could sense that he was going to die. He could sense the weapon that would bring him to his end.

He didn't mind that this would be how things ended, however, not at all.

After all, they did complete their mission.

"Right, Orga?"

...

...

...

"Yeah, that's right."

*CRASH!*

With one thrust forward, Julieta's Blade cut right through the Barbatos' neck unit. Not only did this action cut through the neck of Barbatos, it also hit Mikazuki. Making a massive cut from across his clavicle and his heart.

So much blood leaked out of the grave wound, and ran down his chest and arm. Eventually, the blood reached and covered the bracelet, the special one Atra made for him.

'Aah... I got it dirty again... Atra is going to be mad at me...' Barbatos' red monitors began to slowly deactivate, until all that was left were the glassy green eyes that were the original colour of Barbatos' monitors, 'I wonder if Kudelia... will help me apologize... to her...'

...

Just a few moments passed right after the killing blow was made. Julieta was just standing there, staring at the destroyed Gundam. Her arms never let her remove the sword embedded in the enemy's mech.

She had conflicting feelings about this. Killing off a soldier who may as well have been dead already. It felt cowardly to do, it felt so wrong. But at the same time, it may have been insulting to just let him die of simple blood loss. This demon, the one who had mercilessly murdered hundreds of Gjallarhorn soldiers

But the fight is over now, and so Julieta decided that it was time to deliver the news, and proceeded to remove her swor-

*Crack...*

"Ah?" It... it didn't budge. She could barely move her sword at all. She pulled harder the second time, and it still resulted the same, "W-why?! Why can't I remove it?"

Both arms became required at this point and it still wouldn't budge. It was as if something was pulling her sword.

"Wh-what's going on?!"

"... Huh?" Mika started to slowly open his blue eyes. This time, they were no longer hazy and lifeless.

They were shining. They had colour.

"What... didn't I... die?" he asked himself.

...

"Your right, Mika." a new voice started talking to him, a deep and echoing voice.

Well, it could be considered new, if Mika hadn't recognized it so well.

"...Orga?"

It was Orga's voice. The voice of the Tekkadan leader who had already died. But this voice wasn't one of his orders that would replay in Mika's mind. Orga's voice was actually talking to him.

"We did make it there, and without a doubt, you completed your mission."

Many eyes could not believe what was happening. They were supposed to be defeated now. They had disemboweled the devils that killed so many, and the pilots have died.

So why? Why were The MS's rebuilding themselves?!

(G-Tekketsu OST - Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphan.)

It was like some kind of magic. Particles at random began to surround the Gundam's, and every bit, every bit of metal that belonged to these two machines began to disappear and reappear onto the MS's. It was as if time itself was going backwards, to the time where the devils were whole, undamaged.

"Wh..." hardly any letters came out of Julieta and the Gjallarhorn soldier's mouths, they were too shocked and afraid to say anything.

"I can hear Orga's voice... why? Isn't he...?" Mika quietly asked himself in much confusion.

"That is why you can't die now." There it was again, Mika was in fact not hallucinating. That was indeed their leaders voice, he could hear it loud and clear, "None of you can die just yet."

'None of you' meaning that not only should he survive, but everyone else who was still alive, "None of us?" Mika started to look at other things, other than the Mobile Suit that had plunged a sword into his Gundam.

His eyes landed on the Gusion, and his eyes ever so slightly widened as he witnessed the strange phenomenon that was happening to it.

"Huh... oh?" he didn't get to look for too long, though. The same thing was happening to Barbatos, and that meant that all the pieces that it lost were appearing back onto it.

Slowly the arms and the armor that covered the cockpit returned. Not a single bit of damage to the Gundam's were unattended to. Every missing part of the machines would quickly be filled by the part that was supposed to there.

Mika began to notice that his body started to become a bit lighter, "Hm?" his eyes darted to the metal bits that were supposed to be embedded into his skin, only to find that they weren't there, and all traces of blood on his body, including his eyes, have all disappeared in flashing particles.

To make things even more confusing, and terrifying to all of those in Gjallarhorn, very slowly the Gundams began to fade away. The devils were literally beginning to fade out of existence. They were becoming see through at this point, and-

*CRASH!*

The axe and sword embedded into Barbatos fell to the ground, as if it had became a ghost that was beginning to disappear, meaning it was now impervious to all attacks.

All Julita could do in her state of major shock and confusion was have her Reginlaze back away from The Devil of Tekkadan. Right now she didn't know if she was in danger or not, and she wasn't about to take a risk to find out.

"I can tell you more some other time, Mika, but right now, just promise me one thing."

"... What is it?" was his first reply to Orga's voice in quite a while. It may have only been a day or so, but it felt like ages since he last heard his first friend's voice speak to him, telling him what to do.

"Live." one word said it all, and Mika was about to say something back that would tell Orga that he would do it, but Orga still had more to say, "Live on, Mika. Make sure you come back home, to everyone, to your friends and family."

Mika sat in the cockpit quietly for a moment. Already he was prepared to say that he would do so, but he had to get over the initial shock as to what Orga said. When it came down to Orga giving orders, it would be on the battlefield like right now, and Orga would normally tell Mika to go on the front lines and crush anyone that got in their way. But never had he heard Orga ask him of this, to make a promise to live. It was a rather selfish thing to promise, because no one can really know when and where they will die until it happens.

Though, Mika would still follow Orga's orders, it was the only thing he was sure to do.

But this time it was a little different.

Mika was very happy to follow Orga's orders, more so than usual. Why? Why was tha-

Oh yeah...

If Mika lived, then he would get to see everyone again. He would get to see the people that signified the purpose Orga gave him. That was why he was more willing to do so, not just because Orga told him to live, but because he had too big of a reason to die now.

And so, Mika's answer was more than obvious.

"...Yeah." he smiled as he talked, "I promise..."

Gusion was the first to fully disappear, and not long after, Barbatos was ready to follow in its footsteps.

And before Barbatos left Mars, Mika said the last words he would say on his planet for a long time...

"I'll come back home... to everyone."

With those final words, the sun set and Barbatos was now gone, disappearing into thin air.

(Music end)

The area was lush with vegetation. Trees, grass, plants, and most noticeably flowers were everywhere. The sun had yet to rise, and so the sky was left a dark blue, with the sun rising in the background.

In the middle of it all, the Lupus Rex was kneeling on the grass. Its armor was now completely unharmed, as if it was put into Tekkadan's hangers for repairs.

"Mika? Can you hear me? Mika!"

Two blue eyes opened to see the ceiling of the cockpit, "Aah..." Mika's voice came out in a tired moan. His eyes blinked a few times, and he shook his head a few times to wake himself up, "... Orga? Where are you?"

"I told you didn't I?" Orga's voice replied to Mika with a bit of a laugh after seeing how tired he was, "I'll explain everything to you later, okay?"

"...Hm." he nodded his head in affirmation.

"Good. For now, turn on your monitors and then detach yourself from Barbatos."

Mika's head tilted forward and he saw that his monitors were indeed off, so his hands reached for the buttons, "Huh?" his adrenaline kicked in a bit when he saw how much green was on his screen, with the exception with a few other colours.

He took the time to look at everything through his Gundam's eyes, before he reminded himself that he needed to remove himself from the Alaya-Vijnana system.

... Wait?

If he did that, all that he would be able to move were his left limbs. His entire right side was completely useless unless it was connected to Barbatos.

But... Orga said to, so really there's no choice. The monitors pulled up an option menu, one of the options showed the words 'Alaya-Vijnana system'. Thank goodness Kudelia helped him learn to read all those years ago.

The screen gave the options for whether the system should stay attached or if it should be removed. With the bare minimum of reluctance, he pressed 'Yes'.

*Click*

The plug that was attached to the "whiskers" on Mika's spine was removed, and he was expecting to not be able to move the right side of his body, in addition to being half blind.

... But-

"... What the...?"

His right arm and leg twitched when the system was disconnected. Yes, they moved, "How can I...?"

"Surprised?" there was a laugh in Orga's words, "Okay, now step outside of the cockpit."

Mika was still looking at himself incredulously, it has been WAY too long since the last time he could move his right side freely, without the need to be attached to Barbatos.

He stared at his right for a minute with a great amount of wonder, before he returned to the menu and saw 'Cockpit', where the options showed 'open?' and 'cancel'. As soon as he pressed 'open', the chest unit was opened, and steam came in and rose out of it, making Mika cover one of his eyes with his right hand.

The steam cleared, and allowed Mika to step out. He could immediately feel the wind blow against his face, making his hair fly around wildly, and causing his eyes to squint. The air stopped blowing and it allowed him a clear view of what was around him, both close to and in the distance.

"Woah..." he groaned with wonderment, "Wait a minute... what is this place, and how did I even get here? I was in a battle with Gjallarhorn just now, and I was sure I was about to die, so..."

The sun could now be seen above the horizon created by the trees, and it illuminated all the things that its light touched. The environment gained a brighter colour, and Barbatos caught the light perfectly, its armor bending the light towards random directions.

"Where am I now... Orga?" he asked, his blue eyes gazing at the sun.

"Mika..." At this particular time, Orga would put his hand on his shoulder, and give Mika a smirk.

"Welcome... to the World of Mana."

So what did you guy think? Good? Bad? Any need for improvement?
