Gundam Seed Destiny: Flight of the Ultima

Okay with me being a major Gundam fan I decided to try my hand at a Destiny fic.

I'm also going to introduce several of my own Gundams, to make it easier I'll include a description of the new Gundam units at the end of the chapter they're introduced.

Also I'll introduce some new characters, two of which will be fairly important. They're names will be Kai Akari and Sayoran Kisura. Kai is a character I created for Gundam Seed but brought it over to Destiny.

One last thing this story will be completely off the top of my head so please bear with it if it falls off the story line.

Okay please enjoy.

Chapter one: Assault on Armory One

October 2, C.E. 73: L4 plant Armory-1

A shuttle carrying Orb representative Cagalli Yula Athha and her bodyguard Athrun Zala arrives at the PLANT Armory One. At the base, mobile suit pilot Lunamaria Hawke and mechanic Vino Dupre drive around in a jeep and are nearly crushed by a GINN Ceremonial Decoration Type. The entire base is abuzz over the impending launch of the Minerva, the first new post-war battleship. Nearby, pilot Rey Za Burrel watches the landing of a hovercraft carrying ZAFT Supreme Council Chairman Gilbert Durandal. As Durandal exits the hovercraft, an aide informs him that Cagalli has arrived. In the spaceport, Athrun asks Cagalli why she couldn't have worn a dress just for her meeting with Durandal, but she insists that her suit is fine. Athrun and Cagalli ride an elevator down to Armory One's inhabited area, and Cagalli comments about how of all places, the meeting is taking place the day before the Minerva's launch ceremony. Cagalli and Athrun arrive at Durandal's office, and he thanks her for coming out to Armory One. He asks Cagalli what she wants, and she makes a request that ZAFT stop using Orb's technology and human resources for military applications.

Elsewhere another shuttle is heading to Armory-1 just after passing the battlesight of Jaquin Due.

( I never liked passing through here, but it is the fastest route to earth.) Kai thought silently adjusting his course. (I do feel a little better now that I finally got a vacation from teaching new pilots.)

Kai let out a sigh before pushing the shuttle's thrusters to max.

Elsewhere, Durandal takes Cagalli and Athrun on a tour of the base. He tells her that despite their development of new mobile suits, ZAFT is not looking to start a war. Athrun looks into one of the hangars and sees ZAFT's new mass production mobile suit, the ZAKU Warrior. Durandal tells Cagalli that ZAFT wants peace and freedom from aggression, but they need military power in able to make those desires a reality. Cagalli responds by saying that having so much power is almost asking for a conflict. Durandal responds that because there can never be a total end to human conflict, it will always be necessary to have power.

Kai reached Armory-1 just as the alarms began sounding.

Shuttle Identify yourself. The intercom blared.

"Kai Akari, Pilot instructor. What the hell is going on?" Kai replied as the shuttle docked.

The three new gundam mobile suites have been stolen!

"What! Where is the Ultima!" Kai asked opening the hatch.

It is safely aboard the Minerva. There is a jeep you may take just outside the hanger.

"Roger! And thank you."

Be careful out there. with that the intercom shut off and Kai disembarked his shuttle.

Elsewhere, pilots begin to launch in their GINNs, DINNs and GAZuOOTs, and Durandal orders his men to evacuate Cagalli and ask the Minerva for help. Lunamaria and Rey attempt to board their suits, but the hangar containing them is damaged. Athrun and Cagalli run away to seek shelter, but their path is blocked by the Gaia Gundam. Gaia destroys a DINN in the air, which crashes into a hangar and knocks aside a ZAKU Warrior. Athrun grabs Cagalli and jumps into the cockpit of the ZAKU Warrior. On the Minerva's mobile suit deck, Shinn Asuka launches in the Core Splendor, followed by the Sword Silhouette Flyer, Chest Flyer and Leg Flyer. Athrun attacks Gaia and knocks it's beam rifle away. Gaia then attacks with a beam saber, and Athrun blocks her with a beam axe. Chaos attacks Athrun from behind and slices off the ZAKU Warrior's left arm. He is then hit from behind by missiles from Shinn's Core Splendor. Shinn docks with the various components in midair to form the Sword Impulse Gundam. Landing in front of Athrun, he combines his two "Excalibur" anti-ship swords and asks his enemies if they are trying to start another war.

Just after the Core Splendor was launched Kai reaches the Minerva. He boards just after Chairman Durandal. He immediately heads to the MS launch deck and preps the Ultima for launch.

"Gundam Ultima to bridge, seeking permission to launch." Kai said as he booted up the Ultima's OS.

Instructor Akari? When did you get back? Was the reply.

"Around half an hour ago but that isn't the point do I have permission to launch?" Kai replied.

There was a short pause before Kai was given permission to launch .

"Kai Akari, Gundam Ultima launching!"

Gundam Ultima flew off the launch ramp, with Kai prepped for battle.

'Damn are they trying to start a war again?' Kai thought as Ultima's Phase Shift armor activated.

Gundam Ultima was created to be the twin to Gundam Lionheart but wasn't completed before the Eternal was stolen.

Kai Akari was formally the pilot of Gundam Lionheart until he accepted a job to train Zaft's new pilots, where he met Lunamaria Hawke and Shinn Asuka.

Kai Akari was given the Ultima after he returned it to the Zaft. The Ultima was completed around the same time the Impulse was finished.

The first battle the Ultima experiences is in defense of Armory-1 to try and recapture Gundams Chaos, Gaia and Abyss, where it lightly damages Abyss.

Also I copied some of the parts of this from a friend's episode guide for Destiny.

I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the story.
