Currently with Seth.
The portal opened up at the Lunar Base and luckily they arrived inside of the base. Instantly the group was surrounded by armed guards, and a voice began to speak.
"Everyone, put your weapons down!" A familiar voice said. The group turned to the source a voice and they saw a blue hair women.
"Hey Misato, I'm back." Seth said to the blue hair women.
"Welcome back, and I see you've brought back some people with you." Seth had told Misato that he was leaving for another world and would reappear back within four days, however the reason the base reacted to Seth so aggressively was because it had been less than a day since he left. They thought that he was an intruder. Seth now asked Blaze what the ratio between his world and the freezing universe was. Unlike before, Blaze said that the flow of time was fluctuating. Before it was stable, but now the Freezing world was slowing down.
Seth was getting a headache by all this talk of space and time, so he decided to stop thinking about it. Seth saw that only about an hour had passed since he left, so he now had four free days to do whatever he wanted. Seth decide to let the girls get adjusted to their new lives here. They were too old for the academy so they had to stay on the moon. Seth input some data into the [O.S.E.N.] to begin building a space flight mode for the three girls I.S. units. The [O.S.E.N.] had made quite a bit a progress on the lunar base. It could house over 400 occupants and now had a bio-dome to produce oxygen. The Hanger for Wunder was completed and the said ship was currently undergoing long need repairs.
The lunar base was also now produce its own produce. It could sustain up to around 700 people. The base was still not near the size Seth had originally plan, which most likely would take four month to reach that goal at the current rate that the base was being built at. Seth also was probably the world's youngest billionaire now. Finally, after several weeks of investing in the stock market his money grew from a few thousands to now one billion dollars. This meant that the P.M.C. could now start buying weapons. Luckily for Seth, after introduction of the I.S. many of the old weapons of war were no longer desired and could be easily purchased for a low price.
Los Angeles.
Seth had reentered the Earth's atmosphere and now head to the North American branch of the B.S.A.A. headquarters. Seth decided he might as well use his time to relax and oddly enough he felt the most relaxed here. Seth stood outside of the gates of the B.S.A.A. and walked up to the guard.
"Hey Mike." Seth said as he met an old friend.
"Huh? Seth, what are you doing here?" Mike was one of the people on the mission that saved Seth from umbrella. However during the time period that Seth was training, Mike was badly injured. He could no longer be in the field, but he was still a member of the B.S.A.A.
"I was ordered to come back here for a little R&R. So how's the family?" Seth asked. Mike began to search on his computer to see if Seth was schedule to come back. He trusted Seth, this was just protocol. Sure enough he found that Seth was scheduled to come back.
"They're fine. Little Timmy is now speaking like a chatter box. Say Seth me and the misses were thinking about going on a romantic dinner date, but we would need a babysitter. I know you're great with kids. I'll pay you 40 bucks." Mike didn't want to leave his son with just any random babysitter. He knew Seth was a good kid. Mike watched Seth grow from a scared boy, to a fine young man with a heart of gold.
"How can I refuse a favor from an old friend." Seth said from a smile. Mike was glad that Seth was so willing to babysit his son. He told Seth that he would drop off Timmy at Natasha's house tomorrow at 5 p.m.
Seth now entered the base and made his way to the largest building in the base. On the way there Seth was greeted by the several people who were happy to see him. He enered the large building and now saw two of his closest friends.
"Hey Chris, Piers." Seth said. The two men turned around and saw Seth. The white hair boy called Chris before he came and was surprised that he had finished his mission of retrieving the relic. Piers led Seth to the medical ward of the base where they conducted a physical. He was all clean.
Seth had learned that a U.S. satellite fell into Russian territory. Which normally wouldn't be so bad, but the country happens to be in a civil war. The bad part was what the Ultranationalist or the bad guys were currently winning. The Ultranationalist were a powerful armed group. They had enough weapons to take on most nations and rumors were that they had seven I.S units to use. Which was more than most nations had. It didn't help that the satellite that fell had sensitive materials on it and it failed to burn up on reentry. Also in the news about Russia, a terrorist group had attacked an airport killing hundreds of civilians.
After catching up with both Chris and Piers, Seth made his way to his house. He opened the door and found the place was pretty messy. His sister wasn't a slob, but she wasn't good at cleaning. Sometime Natasha made a mess worse when tried to clean it. Seth could tell that Natasha tried her best to keep the place clean. He knew this would take a while.
A Few Hours Later.
Seth had spent the last few hours cleaning up the house. Almost all of the food in the fridge went bad. He had to throw it away. Seth was glad that Natasha left the car keys so he could use it. Seth was given a license from the B.S.A.A. at the age of Fourteen. It was an international license so he could drive anywhere. However in Japan they drive on the left side, plus Japan's driver laws were different. Also he didn't have a car in Japan and driving was a real hassle, do to the large population density.
After restocking the fridge, Seth decided to get to work on the foundation of his P.M.C. He knew that his army would have to be mostly made up of Unmanned drones, or risk someone discovering the Lunar base. He brought an old abandoned factory in South Africa that would convert piloted planes, cars, and tanks into unmanned drones. Seth also bought several UAVs, UGVs, and AGRs. Seth ordered the [O.S.E.N.] to create a self building drone so that the factory could be built without a need for human hands. Seth asked Ritsuko to get WILLE's engineers to start making designs for new weapon for the P.M.C. Ritsuko said that she would have several design in 24 hours for him to decide what he liked. Seth saw that there was nothing else left to do so he decided to take a nap.
The Next Day.
Seth woke up at 9:00 AM the next morning which was odd. He wanted to take a small cat nap at 5:00 P.M. but for some reason he fell asleep and didn't wake up for 16 hours. Maybe it was a good thing that he had these few days to rest up.
The white hair boy decided to cook something up. He was starving. As Seth was cooking, he saw the picture near the stove. It showed a young Seth being embraced by Natasha in a loving hug. The picture was taken just a few weeks after Seth moved in. Seth never really noticed before, but Natasha takes a lot of pictures. She was still a high schooler when she took Seth under her care. Natasha was strong, beautiful, and independent. Seth could help but admire her.
It was now 4:52 P.M. and a car pulled up. Seth saw the small little boy holding his father's hand as they walked up. The boy had blond hair like his father and his eyes were milky brown. Seth knew that Mike married a half-Latina woman. He guessed the boy got his eyes from his mother. Seth opened the door and the small boy walked in.
"Seth will be back at 9:00 P.M." Mike said as he left. Little Timmy was three years old so he knew how to use the toilet, much to Seth's relief. Timmy loved to talk. He was a little happy chatter box. Seth was currently playing with the small boy who was building a tower made of Legos.
Meanwhile.
"Sand Bravo, we're reading 70 bogeys in your sector, please verify." NORAD HQ said.
"Very funny, station. That's a big negative, over."
"Sand Bravo, be advised, running diagnostics to scan for malfunction."
"The skies are clear, station. You got yourself some phantom dots, over."
"Zulu X-ray Six. Signs in your sector of some 100 bogeys, please advise."
"Negatory, station. Scope is clear, I don't know what to tell ya. Solar interference? Heavy sunspot activity today."
"Sierra Delta, uh... we might have a minor ACS fault here. Do you have anything on your scope?"
"THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!" The man screamed.
"Sierra Delta! Repeat!" NORAD HQ said. Sirens began to go off.
"HUNDREDS OF RUSSIAN MIGS ARE FLYING OVER INTERSTATE 5! HOW THE HELL DID THEY GET THROUGH! SHIT! GET DOWN! GET DOWN!-" The call was cut off. Suddenly more and more calls were coming in to report the sighting of Russian jets and now unmanned I.S. drones.
"Sir, we've lost the feed from the satellite network!" A man yelled.
"All Stations, be advised. Satellite surveillance has been disabled. SOSUS and Pave Paws arrays are inoperative at this time." NORAD HQ said.
"The missile defense system is offline!"
"Our drones have been hacked!"
"Set the drones to self-destruct. We can not allow them to be used against us." The man who was in charge at NORAD HQ said.
"Negative, the drones have rejected the self-destruct single."
"My god. Quickly, tell me how many I.S. units are nearby." Overlord said.
"The closest one is [B.L.A.Z.E.] and [F.L.A.M.E.] with their pilot, Seth Fairs of the B.S.A.A."
With Seth.
Timmy was almost finished with the Lego structure. Seth was really enjoying taking care of Timmy. He was a good kid. Seth suddenly heard a loud explosion nearby. He grabbed Timmy and headed outside.
He looked to the sky and saw several Russian Migs pass above him.
"What the hell?!" Seth was surprised by the sighting of Russian fighter jets above him. Suddenly a com-link was opened to him.
"Hello, Seth Fairs, do you read me?" A man's voice said.
"Yes I read you. Who are you?" Seth asked.
"I'm from NORAD HQ, call sign Overlord. Seth the situation isn't good." Overlord said.
"Why the hell are there Russian Migs flying over LA?!" Seth asked as he activated [B.L.A.Z.E.] and grabbed Timmy.
"Seth, the Russian were able to hack a recently down satellite that had access to our defense network. They have shut down our missile defense system, hacked our drones, and satellite support is offline." This was the perfect chance for anyone to take a jab at the United States and deal a massive blow.
"Shit, but why are you calling me? The Alaska treaty forbids the use of an I.S. in war."
"The Russians broke the treaty first. We are getting reports of [S.T.A.R.S.] units being used. Seth we've called other nearby I.S. pilots to rush here, but they'll won't make it in time to help save the millions of civilians still in the city. You must help aid in the evacuation." Overlord stated.
"I understand. Tell me where you want me to go." Seth finally reached the shelter so he could drop of Timmy. The three year old boy was scared, but Seth calmed him down.
"Don't worry everything will be alright. Just stay here alright." Seth said as he rubbed the boy's head. Timmy gave Seth a smile and the white hair boy now left the shelter to fight the invaders.
Meanwhile at I.S. academy.
Classroom one was currently in the middle of a lesson. Natasha was currently teaching the girls in the room about I.S. combat techniques. While in the middle of her lesson, she received a email with the word 'URGENT' in the subject line.
"I'm sorry class, I have to read this." Natasha said as she opened the email. Her eyes opened wide with shock.
"No this has to be-, Seth!" Natasha said with fear clearly in her voice. This got everyone's attention.
"Natasha, what's wrong?" Chifuyu asked. Natasha didn't answer. She quickly contacted Seth with her I.S. unit and he answered.
"Sis I'm a little busy! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DIE, THEN MOVE YOUR ASSES!" Seth suddenly yelled to a group of civilians who were getting caught up in the fighting. The white hair boy was in a bind with another [S.T.A.R.S.] unit. Seth freed one of his hands front the bind and fired a beam point blank at the [S.T.A.R.S.] unit, killing it.
"Seth what's going on?!" Natasha yelled.
"The Russians decided to invade." Seth looked up to the sky and saw a F-35 being chased by two Russian Migs. Seth brought out his sniper rifle and shot the two Migs down. Now a third person joined the conversation.
"SETH! WE NEED YOUR HELP! THERE'S A GROUP OF TANKS BLOCKING US!" Piers yelled. Several squads from the B.S.A.A. were tasked with helping civilians as well.
"Copy. Where are you?"
"ONE CLICK NORTH *BOOM* HURRY!" Piers yelled as a tank shell nearly hit the sniper.
"Hold on!" Seth switched from [B.L.A.Z.E.] to [F.L.A.M.E.] and rushed to chris and piers's location. Seth saw the three tanks that were attacking them. He charged up the railguns on [F.L.A.M.E.] and blasted the tanks. Seth cut the commutation with Natasha as he didn't want the other students to see what was going on.
Seth was suddenly attacked by a powerful unmanned I.S. however it was a copy of [F.L.A.M.E.] instead of [B.L.A.Z.E.].
"What the hell?!" Seth yelled as this new. The unmanned unit slammed Seth to the wall and it was equipped with a shoulder needle gun. The unmanned unit fired the needles at Seth who yelled in pain.
"Fuck!" Seth used his bits to slash the unmanned unit apart. Seth pulled out three needles that were embedded in his arms. The wounds began to regenerate. Seth reported to overlord that he encountered a new type of unmanned I.S. Overlord said that they would call them [C.O.M.E.T.] units.
Seth now saw that the Russian invasions forces were being pushed back. The Russians were able to take a large section of the city, thanks to their sneak attack, but now they were being pushed back to the beach. However things were not so lucky for other parts of the country. Many of the other cities that were attacked, were taking heavy casualties, thanks to the unmanned I.S. drones. That was until the U.S. government unleashed their newest weapon. The six cores that Seth had captured, were now used in the I.S. [Jager] units program.
As the name says, they are Hunters. They were made specifically to hunt unmanned units and these girls that were the pilots of these [Jager]s units were trained to give an Insta-kill to an Unmanned drone. Their training was developed from Seth's combat footage. The [Jager]s units were very similar to [B.L.A.Z.E.] main body, except that the helmet was missing and it had the same wings as the [Silver Gospel]. The unmanned units were hunted down by the [Jager] units and the Russians fled.
The Next Day.
The United States armed forces were able to send the invading Russians back and all 50 states wanted revenge for the invasion. However the U.S. faced a few problems. The first was that the Russians had access to a large number of unmanned drones which would wipe out any forces they sent to Russia. The second was that the Russians had their missile defense system up and running. Finally, if the U.S. launched an invasion on Russia, the Chinese government said that they would join the war against the United States. The president of the United States ordered the Navy to send a fleet to Okinawa, Japan and be on standby. Seth was asked personally by the president to escort the fleet. There was no way Seth could refuse an order given by the commander-and-chief of the United States.
Currently aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise, Seth was examining several of the new weapons that WILLE's engineer team had design. The white hair boy was extremely impressed by the weapons. He learned to never doubt the genius scientist Ritsuko Akagi. Said scientist had also designed several new I.S. models which surprised Seth. However they would need core. Seth sent a message saying to proceed with the construction of the machines, and that he would deal with the problem of finding the cores.
Three days later.
Seth and the Navy fleet now arrived in Okinawa base. Now that Seth's job was done, he flew back to I.S. academy. As Seth was flying back, he felt like something was watching him. The white hair boy was nearing the outskirts of Tokyo when a light blue beam was fired at him. Seth quickly avoided the beam and looked at his would be attacker. His eyes opened wide with shock.
"I was wondering when you would would show up." Seth said to a being made up of pure Phazon. Dark Seth without any hesitation brought out his Phazon blades and charged at Seth.
Seth as well brought out his energy blades and entered Hyper mode. Everything that had color was now in black and white. Blue sparks of Lightning were now erupting from [B.L.A.Z.E.] Seth now charged at Dark Seth and the two pairs of light blue energy blades clashed. Seth's and Dark Seth's blades created sparks of phazon when they met.
Dark Seth punched Seth and fired a volley of Phazon missiles at him. Seth recovered from the punch, he brought out his Miniguns and intercepted the Phazon missiles. The white hair boy now unleashed a volley of his enhanced Miniguns. The phazon doppelganger raised a barrier that surrounded his entire body. The volley from the Miniguns had no effect on Dark Seth. The being made of pure phazon, with his barrier still up, charged at Seth. He slammed Seth with the barrier. Seth was knocked back and now was over the ocean. He could see that I.S. academy was in his sight, which means that he could be detected. Seth knew that Samus would immediately join the fight, and he knew that the other girls would also join her to help him. He had to finish this quickly. Seth started to feel a little sick from using Hyper mode, but he suppressed the feeling.
"Access Code: Fusion Mode!" Seth yelled as he was enveloped in a red light. Seth now appeared in [C.O.L.D.] that now had a time limit of 17 minutes.
Meanwhile.
"Where is he?" Currently there was a break between classes and Natasha was pacing around back and forth. It was a bad habit of her's that she did whenever she was really worry. Seth should have been at the school five minutes ago.
"Jeez, calm down Natasha, I'm sure Seth isn't in any danger. My guess is that the fleet is running a little behind schedule. Again a whole fleet arriving from America would take at least five days." Chifuyu said trying to calm the blond girl.
"But he would have called me if the fleet was running late." Natasha said. She was so stressed out.
"Fairs-Sensei, I'm sure that Seth is okay." Houki said to the troubled older sister.
"Yeah, Seth is strong enough to fight anything that would get his way." Charlotte said remembering the last time something attacked Seth, he easily destroyed them.
"My wife is far too strong to lose. He'll be okay, but he will be punished for leaving without telling me." Laura was mad at Seth for leaving without saying that he would be gone. He told Tatenashi, Samus, and Natasha, but that was it. He forgot to tell anyone else that he would be gone for a few days.
Currently Samus wasn't joining in on the others' conversation. She had a really bad feeling that Seth was in danger. She was about to call him, but suddenly she was approached by Houki.
"Huh?" Samus said.
"Samus, you also think that Seth is alright, right?" Houki said to the blond girl.
"Yeah, he's fine." Samus said. She was actually now really worried for some reason.
"Um... Excuse me Fairs-sensei, can't you find out Seth's location from his I.S.?" Cecilia said.
"Oh yeah, I could do that. Maya-chan if you would." Natasha said to the green hair student teacher.
"No problem...Huh?" Maya said as she tried to search for [B.L.A.Z.E.], but the computer said that it couldn't find her core.
"Maya try [F.L.A.M.E.]." Chifuyu said. Maya tried to locate [F.L.A.M.E.], but yet again nothing came up.
"Maya-sensei can you move over for a second?" Samus asked the green hair teacher.
"Huh? Oh! Sure Aran-chan." Maya said as she moved out of the way and allowed Samus to access the computer. Samus typed in a few keys and sure enough Seth appeared on the computer's radar.
"Got it, here I'm putting it on the main screen." Samus said as she displayed the radar on big screen.
"Oh wow, he's really close." Cecilia said as she noted the distance between the school and Seth. Maya quickly turned on one of the schools surveillance cameras and the group were shocked to see Seth fighting what appeared to be a blue version of [B.L.A.Z.E.].
"What is that?" Charlotte asked as she saw Dark Seth.
"Huh? Where did Samus go?" Laura said as she noticed that the blond was missing.
"Um...Orimura-sensei where did Fairs-sensei go?" Charlotte said as now the blond teacher was gone.
"Rushing into battle just like she always does." Chifuyu said as Natasha had a bad habit of rushing into battle.
Samus was currently running up a flight of stairs. The fastest way outside was using the roof so she knew that is where she needed to go. Behind her was another blond who was just as important to Seth. Natasha was terrified for Seth's safety three days ago when the Russians launched a sneak attack and now she was close enough to protect him. Natasha was not gonna let Seth get hurt.
Back with Seth.
"Dammit! Looks like I'm not the only one who got stronger." Seth said as he noticed that Dark Seth had some new tricks. Dark Seth charged up two Phazon spheres in his hands and Seth did the same. The two unleashed their beams at one another and they entered a power struggle. Dark Seth's Phazon beam was pushing back Seth's Hyper beam which was shocking. Even on Phaaze, Seth's Hyper Beam was significantly more powerful than Dark Seth's Phazon beam, but now that has changed.
Seth knew he had to use the Nova Particle Beam, by then an idea popped into his head. 'What if he combined Hyper Mode with the Nova Particle Beam?' he wondered. Seth ordered his bits to fire a rapid barrage at the Phazon being. Now that Dark Seth was distracted, Seth appeared below him. He charged up two white spheres that had a light blue core in the center on [C.O.L.D.]'s railguns. Dark Seth finally saw what Seth was planning. As Seth unleashed the beams the Phazon being moved to avoid the attack, however the beam was far larger than either Seth or Dark Seth expected. The massive white beam vaporized Dark Seth shins. The injured Phazon being let out a grunt of pain. The beams were so powerful that it knocked Seth back and he fell into the ocean.
"What the heck was that?" Natasha asked as she saw a massive beam come from Seth's battle.
"I don't know, but its probably not good." Samus said as she now activated [Varia]. Natasha followed Samus as she activated her [Silver Gospel]. Seth exploded out of the water and began to look around for Dark Seth. Sure enough he saw him and he saw that Dark Seth had already regenerated its lost legs.
"Dammit, is he getting stronger by the second?" Seth asked internally.
"Master look!" Flame yelled. Seth looked up at Dark Seth and was horrified at what he saw. Dark Seth made four dark echoes, but two of them were copies of [F.L.A.M.E.].
"That bastard copied me!" Flame said with slight anger.
"Flame calm yourself, we need to think of- No. That's impossible." Blaze saw that two of the dark echoes had combined and blaze a Phazon clone of [C.O.L.D.]. The only way Seth was able to use the fusion program was thanks to the holy staff that U-Mos had given him. It should be impossible for Dark Seth to copy [C.O.L.D.].
For a brief second, Seth thought about Gandrayda. Then Seth figured it out. Dark Seth had absorbed Gandrayda and her ability to copy anything she touches. Seth remembered that Dark Seth had punched him earlier. That was when he touched him.
"Looks like I'm gonna have to use tempest." Seth said as he was about to enter his [Nova Mode], but a new beam attacked the dark echo that was copying [F.L.A.M.E.].
"Seth who the hell are these guys." Natasha finally saw that they looked a lot like Seth and now really wanted to know what these things were.
"They're B.O.W.s." Seth lied to his sister. Seth now saw that his corruption level had reached lethal levels. He had to vent the access Phazon or risk falling to the poison. Things were starting to look bad. The only one able to damage any of these Dark Seths was Samus and [C.O.L.D.] had about nine minutes remaining. Seth saw on his radar that the other girls were also now heading here. He decided to put his trust in his newly acquired blade.
"Come forth, [Kurikara]." Seth said as the beautiful blade appeared. Seth knew that [Kurikara] could not only withstand a energy blade, but she could shatter it. Now the question was if it could withstand a Phazon blade. Seth was about to find out.
"Princess, Sis, give me support fire!" Seth roared as he charged at the closest Dark Seth which happened to be the one that was copying [F.L.A.M.E.]. Seth used Trans-Am to gain a much needed speed boost and now the timer on [C.O.L.D.] said that only four minutes remained. He only need three.
"Seth wait!" Samus yelled as she saw that the other two Dark Seths were now closing in on him. Samus entered Hyper mode and Natasha created two spheres of energy in her hands. The two of them started to blast the other two, but the Dark Seths were too focused on killing Seth. They didn't care about anything else. Seth was nearing the Phazon clone of [F.L.A.M.E.], he readied his blade. The Phazon [F.L.A.M.E.] now cocked his right hand back, readying a Phazon Impact Punch.
Seth waited until the last second and used Accel. [Kurikara] slashed the Dark [F.L.A.M.E.] Impact punch and slashed the Phazon being in half. The Phazon being now disappeared into several small light blue particles. Seth used Accel to avoid the other two Dark Seths and they were now blasted by a volley of attacks thanks to the girls who had now joined the battle. The original Dark Seth saw Samus and instantly used Trans-Am.
"Princess it's after you!" Seth yelled over the com-link. Suddenly the Phazon clone of [C.O.L.D.] got between Seth and the others. Samus readied herself and was determine to kill Dark Seth once and for all. However Dark Seth was much faster then she predicted and received one hell of a punch in her gut.
"Samus! Hold on! Girls go and see if Samus is alright, I'll fight this bastard." Natasha said as she wasn't gonna let this thing hurt any more of her students. Luckily for her, she wouldn't have to fight Dark Seth. The Phazon being quickly opened a portal and left. The clone of [C.O.L.D.] that Seth was fighting suddenly disappeared as well. Seth was now wondering what his Phazon clone was trying to accomplish by attack him. Was it just trying to kill him. He knew something big was gonna happen soon.
Meanwhile with Dark Seth.
The Phazon being of energy was now in an unknown location. Its real mission wasn't to attack Seth, but rather to revive a fallen comrade of his. In a nearby egg sack, something was growing and when she was fully developed, hell would be unleashed. Dark Seth now place his hand on the egg sack and waited. He knew their time to attack would come soon.
