Mobile Suit Gundam: Blood Price

Beginning of an End PT.2

What?!

Mika's senses are heightened as anger begins to boil within him. His eyes glow red with an inhuman fury, and his muscles tense with power. He feels as if he could tear through the world with his bare hands, leaving nothing but destruction in his wake. This is the power of rage...

But...

"Welcome back, Code Alter." Another voice echoes in his mind. It's familiar, but not quite his own. As the voice speaks, Mika feels a strange sensation washing over him - as if a part of him that had been dormant for a long time is finally waking up.

"Who... who are you?!"

"Finally awake, Code Alter."

"My name is Mika!" As Mika's rage subsides, the strange sensation in his mind grows more intense. He tries to focus on the voice, but it remains elusive.

"My name is Mika!" he repeats, more forcefully this time. His eyes snap back to normal, and he takes a deep breath to calm his racing heart.

"No. You are Code Alter. Mika is the name you are given upon entering this world but you are Code Alter."

"My creation."

"Wha-What!?"

"You were created by me, Code Alter."

"Stop that! I'm Mika, born in Feoh, raised by street peddlers and Maribel and the blacksmiths! I'm not a Code!"

"Oh Mika, it's time you faced the truth." The voice says, its tone soft yet commanding. "You were created by me, for a purpose. A purpose you have yet to fulfill."

"Who are you?" Mika asks, his voice quivering with fear and anger.

"I'm Code Phoenix, your creator and superior." Mika stares in disbelief at the ruins around him, struggling to process the information. He clenches his fists, feeling the power coursing through him as Code Phoenix's words echo in his mind.

"No," he whispers. "It can't be true."

"It is the truth and if you want to learn more, find the G-system. I'm only able to communicate to you like this due to its vicinity. I'm sending out my signal."

"Find me, Code Alter. Fulfill your purpose."

The Freedom Gundam then acquired a strong radio signal, a signal that's impossible to exist on this primitive planet.

It lead to a gaping chasm, in the center of the ruined Dark Tower.

Mika takes a deep breath, still struggling to accept the truth that Code Phoenix has revealed to him. He clenches his fist, feeling the power surging through his veins as the radio signal guides him toward the gaping chasm in the center of the ruined Dark Tower.

Using the HiMat system, Mika hovered downwards. The chasm yawned wider and wider as Mika descended, revealing a hidden chamber beneath the ruined tower. At the center of the room stood a massive computer terminal, its gleaming surface reflecting the dim light from Mika's mobile suit.

The computer terminal is connected to massive infrastructure buried in the surface with giant steel doors.

What's worrying is the corpses.

"Strike, Crossbone, and Shining Gundams!" Mika looked at the still intact but ruined corpses of the three Mobile Suits.

The Strike Gundam is kneeling, its wing pack missing as well as its arms. It was filled with scratches and cuts all over its armor.

It's death? A large deactivated Heat Hawk is embedded on its chest plate.

Meanwhile, the Crossbone Gundam is in a similar state, only missing an arm and a leg. It was also decapitated but the skull and bones insignia is a dead giveaway of who it was.
