Second mission arc for Flit

kill_all_vagansIn the event we don't get any Gen. 2 or 3 characters in AGE, I intend to not bother aging Flit up. Too much of a hassle to get new userpics and a new account and blah blah blah. That said, if the need arises there are venues we can take. There is a legit time machine in one of AGE's sidestories which could trigger the same kind of time bubble as the one that we had in UG@ with Gucun, along with other time-space shenanigans (I'm looking at you, Neo Granzon).
I still intend to have the Vagan threat to be fully addressed by the end of Uni though; ending it with Flit just going "I'll kill you all and save everyone!" doesn't make for a good ending. Dare I say it makes for a generic bad one? Thus, provided we don't get anyone else from AGE, near the end of the RP Flit'll get a second set of missions. If we do, I'll work something out with the other person.
1. Door to the Next Battle: It's been quite a while since the battle of Ambat, at ideally maybe six months until the end of the RP if not a little later. There's been no sign whatsoever of Vagan forces in all this time, but during a mission at some location in space with strategic value, this all changes. A Vagan force arrives just to shit all over everything and join the other enemies attacking it, and they've brought some new suit types with them too. And leading the pack is Dole Frost, a powerful X-Rounder using a fancy new mobile suit on top of that intent on seeing what all of this hubbub is about the Gundam.
Caught off-guard like this and not having expected them complicating matters, the battle doesn't go as well for us as we would probably have liked. Because of the damage inflicted the ESUN or whomever will have to pull back from the area at least in the short term, and with the Vagans back this means things are going to get complicated...
Enemies: Gafrans, Baqtos, Abigels, several Fas Zeos, the Wiegel (piloted by Dole Frost)
However, some time later news comes about that diplomatic negotiations are beginning between the Earth Sphere and the Vagans, and peace can possibly be achieved with them. Flit, and for that matter anyone with enough cynicism, are probably not going to have any faith in this whatsoever. And this leads us to the final two missions for AGE, which ideally will be done in close proximity to each other.
2. Betrayal at Luna Base: ... And sure enough, negotiations at the ESUN's Luna Base (or some other name in case a better series is using that one) fall apart immediately when the Vagans seize the installation. The base's head, Aaron Simmons, is defecting to the Vagans and intends to use ESUN diplomat/ambassador/bigwig Froi Olfenoa (who won't be the ESUN's Prime Minister in Uni) as his foot in the door with them, and the Vagans using him to force demands on the Earth.
Luna Base is quickly being refitted as a Vagan base of operations, and we naturally have to go and stop them. But there's an old enemy showing up to make his return: Desil! Yeah Flit, this is what happens when you just shank the fuck out of a mobile suit and don't bother checking if the cockpit is in the head. Extremely sore after the battle at Ambat, Desil just wants revenge against Flit and Flit's gonna want to REALLY make sure he kills Decil this time. The fact the Khronos can hijack control of allied mobile suits, giving Decil plenty of warm bodies to protect himself with, means Flit's gonna need something fast and good at cutting stuff down quickly. Fortunately, the AGE Builder's finally finished the perfect mode for Flit: the AGE-1 Razor.
We'll have to fight Vagan forces once more, along with hijacked ESUN mooks too, but ultimately the battle's ours to win since, once a battleship or really strong unit is in position, we can just blow the entire place to bits as a last resort or even use this fact as intimidation to make the Vagans surrender. The base is a hell of a lot more fragile than Ambat was, after all. Simmons is a dirty coward who'll flee once things start looking our way (not even killing Froi), and ironically enough he'll probably be killed escaping. Flit will eventually emerge victorious over Decil in a vicious battle filled with hatred and screaming very out of place in modern Gundam stories, this time killing him for realsies, and this Vagan plan will be entirely crushed.
... Which is exactly what the Vagans wanted. Because while we were busy on the moon, both the Vagans' home colony Second Moon and primary combat fortress La Gramis have used the opportunity to break through a gap in Earth's defenses (helped by wrecking the defensive location in the previous mission) and begun large-scale invasion of Earth. The final battle is at hand...
Enemies: Dorados, Abigels, mass-produced Defurses, Fa Zeoses, commandeered ESUN mooks, Khronos (piloted by Decil)
3. Glimmer of Despair: (AGE finale for realsies) With the Vagans primarily launching forces down to Earth in an attempt to cause as much destruction and carnage as possible, La Gramis/Second Moon are comparatively vulnerable to attack and destroying them could quite possibly end us the war once and for all. They're far from defenseless, though, with plenty of mooks and ships waiting for us. Along with them is none other than Dole Frost once more... and he's brought seven other X-Rounders along with him. Together, they're the Magicians 8, a crack team of pilots (shhhhhh, stop watching them all get killed easily in-series!) who are going to be the largest obstacle between us and defeating the Vagans.
... At least, until Ezelcant arrives on the battlefield using the Vagan Gear. With the Vagans once more in the Earth Sphere and a large-scale war now in full-swing, his plans can finally be realized. And naturally he's not going to let the accursed Unity Group stop him now. Now, in canon the Vagan Gear on its own didn't have much in the way of firepower even though this was the thing all Vagan technology was derived from. Thus I'm requesting it get a proper endboss buff, granting it the electromagnetic armor, invisibility umbrella, hand/chest cannons, and bit technologies displayed by other Vagan forces. Essentially, if another Vagan machine can do something, the Vagan Gear can do it too.
When pressured about being a psycho who wants to take control of the Earth and the Vagans' overall barbarism though, Ezelcant will just absolutely snap and give us another motive rant... and during which he'll explain his plan and how he hates X-Rounders and violence and how this whole plan will realize everlasting peace because all the X-Rounders will die and only peace-loving people will be left! And yes, this is meant to sound stupid. Very stupid. Stupid enough that the forces also fighting to defend La Gramis are just going to be all "the fuck?" about it, and in fact even start to question everything and refuse to fight any more. Not that their own choices matter though, because Ezelcant can just hijack all the Vagan machines and control them through the Vagan Gear (just like the Khronos can) and make them continue to fight!
Thus the battle to stop the Vagans becomes a battle to stop just one delusional old man. One delusional old man with an OP as fuck behemoth of a mobile suit, but eh, semantics. Flit's going to be pulling out all the stops to defeat Ezelcant and we eventually do, and presumably with all the positive CR he's gotten he won't need to feel compelled to destroy Second Moon and all the civilian Vagans along with it.
Enemies: Dorados, Abigels, Defurses, eight Zedas M (each piloted by the Magicians 8), La Gramis, Fa Zeoses, Fa Boses, Vagan Gear (piloted by Ezelcant)
With Ezelcant's true goals revealed and supplied to people on Earth so they can just broadcast his rants on a continuous loop in areas the Vagans are fighting in, the Vagan invasion is quickly halted. Legit negotiations and Vagan disarmament can begin now, and with Second Moon back in the Earth Sphere there's no need for the Vagans to fight any more.
And that is how you polish the turd that is Gundam AGE.
