Disclaiming, the art of letting people know you don't own shit, and I own nothing. Yay for me.
This is a very minor crossover with Gundam SEED, the only crossover aspects are the SEED system and coordinators. The mech is based on the Gundam SEED universe, but it's original. Some terms will come from Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation 2, which is awesome.

"So you seriously want me to pilot this?"
"You helped make it and have the proper training, so yes, we fully intend for you to pilot."
The two speaking were currently standing in front of a mech in a dock. The mech was a very dark blue for the most part, with the joint protectors a pitch black as well as the rim of the helmet. The top of the helm bore the standard yellow V crest on most of the latest mechs. The weaponry on it was balanced out, it bore a pair of energy sabers as well as two Armor Schneider combat knives, all four were kept within the shield on it's left arm, the shield's rim could energize like the Armor Schneider knives attack purposes.
The back of the unit had a powerful set of thrusters capable of maintaining flight, and thanks to the Core-Block power system it didn't need to refuel, it merely required a break from combat after some time, the time varied based on how heavy the combat. Just below the thrusters it contained a docking station for it's Magna Rifle. The general shape though was slim, designed for speed and accuracy. The bulkiest parts were powerful thrusters and pods on the shoulders. An odd addition to it's design was a what looked like a medieval ornate handle for a great sword, except it was of course sized for the mech which rested on it's hip.
"Most mechanics do, but you don't trust them." The young man had dark shaggy brown hair that hung just above his nose in the front and to the shoulders in the back, he bore an odd scar that looked like a cross on his right cheek. His eyes varied, they switched colors too often for a color to really be determined.
The person he was talking to looked a bit like him, except his dark brown hair was straight and he had purple eyes, he also lacked a scar. "Most mechanics in the EFA aren't Coordinators."
"Touche, but so are you."
"That's why I know you are capable, besides a lot of the systems on this will need you to be there in case they start failing."
"You mean the G-Drive system don't you?"
"Mostly"
"And I lose this one"
"Kira 1, Valcrist..."
"12, I've won 12, so ha ha"
"But none of them can hold a candle to this one"
"Party-pooper"
"I try"
Valcrist stared up at the mech, he currently had baggy blue jeans with more pockets than most would need, but he did. He had a black shirt and a dark blue jacket, three guesses where the color coordination for the mech came from.
"How's the phase shift armor activator going?"
"Still working on it, it doesn't always react in time, so the armor takes damage and spends unnecessary energy. So for now I've put in a manual system, but for the most part only a Coordinator would be able to use it properly, a Natural would require a lot of practice and experience."
"I see, how's the OS?"
"Still using the GUNDAM Synthesis System, I'm working on improving it using the combat data from your battles."
"Good, how's it coming?"
"It's getting there, but it's taking it's time"
"In other words, you're taking you're time"
"Busted"
Kira Yamato, current acting commander of the EFA, or Earth Federal Alliance, was a veteran when he didn't want to, he piloted for his friends safety rather than for glory or money, which is why he was highly respected. Particularly by Valcrist, making people into Coordinators was now limited, the only improvements most received at birth were for health and intellect rather than reaction timing and other combat only modifications. Valcrist, him, Athrun, and Shinn were the last 4 combat coordinators, with Valcrist being the only one without any experience in battle. Though Kira was the uncontested best, he attributed this to his desire to protect those close to him rather than to destroy his enemies.
The EFA was forged to unify the Earth and it's colonies after the wars were finally over. Lacus acted as the representative and generally kept the peace, Cagali worked closely with Lacus in an effort to unify Naturals and Coordinators, their efforts were paying off too, it could be seen in many populated areas. Shinn, Athrun, and Kira kept the military functions going, Kira researched the OS systems of mechs, Athrun took care of the mechs movements, and Shinn researched weapons.
"So when will we be testing this big guy anyway?" Valcrist openly disliked piloting mechs, the reasoning was that they destroyed his home and adoptive family, despite his efforts to dismiss it as being unreasonable and foolish, he still couldn't get it out of his head, he had made progress though, he was able to stomach being near them and designing them, before he used to pale in fear in front of them to his great embarrassment. The only reason he had survived was because he was a Coordinator, the heat was fatal for his family though.
"You'll be piloting it in about an hour. Your flight suit is in the cock-pit, as well as space for your current clothes."
"Fantastic"

(You'll have to adjust the G-Drive as you go until it's self-adjustment program can imitate you effectively.)
"I know Admiral Yamato"
(You don't have to call me Admiral, we're friends, on or off-duty)
"Shinn gives me crap for it whenever I forget"
(Am I Shinn?)
"Sometimes I wonder"
(Your sight is dying out on you then)
"I blame you"
(Duly noted, but we need a name for your baby here)
"You don't want my suggestion"
(Sonic Wind?)
"Sure"
(Scrap that, I've decided that since it's dark blue and black it will be called the Midnight Blue)
"Alright"
(So how's the Midnight Blue holding up?)
"I don't have to make as many adjustments, so it's system is starting to catch up. The G-Drive is creating extra energy though, I'm re-routing it to the PS armor." A few seconds later an alarm went off, but was quieted just as quickly. "No good, I'm putting out all the energy I can from the G-Drive, but it's too much, I'm going to shut it down" The alarms remained however, if not stronger, "Damn, the system refuses to respond, Kira, if you ever question why I dislike mechs, remember this moment right here." Despite the humor though Valcrist was sweating bullets, the system was going to over-load soon, all the safety measure had failed. The G-Drive was prioritized, which was now a a very bad thing.
"I'm going to put all the energy I can from the system into the thrusters, the side-effects of all the energy combining though is unknown, so, cross your fingers please." The reason behind the anxiety in his voice, was that the energy in the PS armor, the shield, and thrusters would have an unknown effect on the current environment, the PS armor and shield were likely going to create a barrier of sorts, that was an intentional function for ramming through enemies, but at the speeds the Origin would be reaching, it wasn't likely to just do that.
(Good luck Valcrist, once the energy has died down to reasonable levels, you should be able to disengage the G-Drive.)
"Thanks, let's not get mushy though. Going full thrust now!" As Valcrist said this he followed through, and rocketed forward, the expected barrier showed up, but what wasn't expected is outer sensors showing a tunnel form around him which made him think of a rainbow. The end of the tunnel was fast approaching, though what was beyond it was nothing save for a blur.
"This can't be good."

The sight that greeted Valcrist and Origin was something Valcrist had always feared.
"So many, so many ships and mechs, all ready to kill everyone. This isn't my fight, I can just let them fight, yeah, that's what I'll do." But as he turned the Origin away and prepared to jet back a sight below him intrigued him. A young girl with aqua blue hair was falling, a blue mech was reaching for her but it was knocked aside and a white mech fell under her, the cockpit opened and Valcrist saw a previously unheard of maneuver. The pilot was reaching out for the girl, leaving himself open, they grasped at each other desperately and Valcrist's mind was set once the girl was in.
"I don't know who that kid is, but he's fighting for her, just like Kira, just like Athrun, just like Shinn. I won't be a coward, I've got to fight, even if it's just this once."
Seeing as the white mech could handle itself, Origin rocketed toward the blue mechs and ships ahead of it, drawing the Magna Rifle from it's back, powering up the scatter shot pods on it's shoulders, re-activating the G-Drive, the blades on the shield powered on, and it's thrusters rocketed it forward, and Origin took the battle field.
"I CANNOT LOSE!!!"
The first mech probably didn't even know it was dead, the Schneider Shield cut clean through it. The second mech saw it's comrade fall but was blasted by the Magna Rifle and fell before it could retaliate. Three mechs turned to fire on the cobalt mech, but the pods on it's should opened up and released a salvo of lancing energy rays, they fired on the Midnight Blue but were decimated by the lasers the Lancer Pods had shot. The ships began to release the missiles pent up within at the dark blue menace but it's speed kicked up and only two caught it, the crew momentarily cheered but the cheer turned to dismay when the mech flew out with no visible damage.
The Magna Rifle shots continued to pierce their armor, dealing fatal damage every shot, the ships that didn't blow up immediately dropped like rocks out of the sky. Their main cannons weren't fast enough to track the hectic mech as it continued to elude them, the missiles and vulcan rounds that did connect appeared to do absolutely nothing. Valcrist's eyes had changed dramatically, the pupils shrunk while his irises expanded, giving him a soul-less look, he would look back and realize he was in SEED mode at the time. Just after destroying another ship the white mech again garnered his attention as the energy trail left by it's jet board propulsion system tore the enemy's weapons off, leaving them helpless.
After making this observation, Valcrist followed the white mech, though he was careful to avoid the rainbow trail it left, and soon gained a transmission window. The gray haired man before him was unfamiliar, but the two kids in the vid window next to him were the same as the ones in the white mech.
(Who the hell are you!? How did you do that!?) The gray haired man was decidedly short-tempered.
(Thank you for your help, but why did you help us?) This came from the brown haired boy, the one who he thought reminded him strongly of Kira, he didn't know much about the kid, but Valcrist already respected him.
"I decided two because when I saw you catch that girl, you reminded me of my friend Kira. If you need a mechanic, I'll join up with you for now, until I can find my way home that is. But don't expect me to change your mechs to be like mine, I still can't fully trust you."
(That's really good! Holland, can he join, he did help us out a lot!) The aqua haired spoke, and her eyes were purple, which, like how the boy's hair was brown, reminded him of Kira further.
(I suppose, better a friend than an enemy, but you'll have to pull your weight around here, got that?) Perhaps his assumption was wrong, this guy, Holland, may not be so bad after-all. (What's your name?)

Please review and let me know if anyone is ooc, I haven't seen the series in a long time. Also, any tips and hints would be good.
