Coop d'Etat of Zeon Chapter 1
Hello there, everyone! Warmachine375 here and this is my first attempt of a Crossover Self-Insert titled "Coop d'Etat of Zeon".
Synopsis: "Awakening as Evil Coop in his mono-eye war mech, I discovered that I ended up in the Universal Century dimension with Evil Kiva after the events of the Dimensional War on Mars where there's a Zeon Remnant faction used to set up shop. Which Evil Kiva wiped them out and turned it into a new base. Oh well, if I'm gonna be the bad guy, then I will act as the bad guy! Crossover Self-Insert."
One-shot just in case.

"Owww, where am I?..."
I groaned in annoyance as I opened my eyes groggily and noticed that they're a lot clearer than before. Guess I don't glasses anymore. Looking around, I realized that I'm sitting on the throne-like cockpit with dual joystick controls and several computer screens. And in front of me was the main camera's view, which showed me that I am in the middle of a red desert.
I learned that I am currently sitting on a cockpit of a mobile suit and I'm in Mars. Considering I felt some chills on my exposed skin, it meant that I did not wear spacesuit and helmet just in case something happens to the machine. It doesn't take a genius to know that there is obviously no breathable atmosphere for human life on the Red Planet.
Then I saw myself in a reflection from the cockpit's clear screen.
A large muscular man with spiky blonde hair and a sharp goatee. His attire is a chest and shoulders armor plate with his new racing number 13 painted red on it, underneath the chest armor is a red buttoned tank top with gold trims; blue jeans with a brown belt with a gold buckle with a little pouch on the side, knee high black boots with leg armor plates, black fingerless gloves with metal bracelets and a dark blue cape.
Recognizing that face that was mine now, my eyes widened in shock!
Holy macaroni!
I'm Evil Coop from "Megas XLR"?!
The Char Clone variant of Coop who was the final antagonist of the show coming to an end after 2 seasons (no thanks to that cheapskate bastard studio called Cartoon Network that turned the Megas XLR franchise into a tax write off, killing off any chance of reviving the show in the future), and he had happened to be dressing up as Char Aznable.
That is if Char had chosen to wear his iconic Char's Counterattack formal uniform and then rip off the sleeves to show off his muscular arms like he did when he was under the alias of Quattro Bajeena, a lieutenant of the AEUG from the "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam" show. Similarly like how some of the members of Neo Zeon who went sleeveless in their military outfits such as Chara Soon, Rakan Dahkaran, Illia Pazom, and Mashymre Cello when he later became a Cyber Newtype in "Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ".
Honestly, they gave off an impression of being members of an '80s hair metal band than elite soldiers of Axis Zeon they were.
Not to mention, Evil Coop had replaced his own Megas XLR with this war robot, which is somewhat an expy of the Sazabi befitting for the genocidal Char Clone himself. In my personal opinion however, it shared more of a strong resemblance to the RMS-117 Galbaldy β that was used by the Titans. Along with his army of white-themed drones whose mech design is like that of a love child of the RMS-108 Marasai and the MS-06F Zaku II.
Sucks that the weapons and capabilities of Evil Coop's machine weren't explored much aside the destructive nuclear-explosive rocket punch (how the hell did he get a new arm after firing it at prime Coop, Gorrath and Alternate Jamie just to demonstrate how insanely dangerous he was?), a green wrist blaster, and a red energy sword. That also includes its immense strength greater than the previous Megas, which had overwhelmed and destroyed prime Coop's own Megas.
Although in fairness, prime Coop's mech had suffered a lot of technical problems and they're held together by nothing more than Coop's ridiculous modifications and dumb luck.
On the other hand, even when said Coop had claimed his evil counterpart's abandoned Megas that had several powerful upgrades into it, Evil Coop's war mech is still a lot stronger and had the upper hand against him throughout the entire fight. Evil Coop only retreated because his army of mono-eyed drones was completely wiped out by the Glorft army... which led him and Evil Kiva walk right into the trap in form of Alternate Jamie blowing up the portal with his black colored modified Glorft mech's weapon.
Now, I am Evil Coop and in charge of his body and memories as if they're my own now, being the dominant personality as a result. Although I felt some bits of the original's bloodthirsty nature to destroy everything in his path and relish on it.
Clenching my fist repeatedly to feel the body's strength coursing through me, I muttered to myself, "So this is how Full Frontal felt when his body got possessed by a part of Char's soul.* Through the implantation from Sazabi's Psycho Frame that absorbed his "will", becoming Red Comet's Second Coming. ... But what about me?... How did I end up waking up as Coop's evil counterpart? And why?..."
Then I screamed out loud to myself, "I have so many questions!"
I recall that Evil Coop and his second-in-command Evil Kiva ended up being trapped in between dimensions after Alternate Jamie had blown up the portal as part of the plan with prime Coop and Gorrath, the Warmaster of the Glorft in their temporary team up. But instead, they got sent to the Lurp Dimension, which is a fate worse than death.
Thank God, I'm not there in his place because Smurf lookalikes were admittedly terrifying when Evil Coop was on the receiving end there.
Still, it is disconcerting that I woke up in Evil Coop's body and completely took over as the dominant personality. But oh well, I'll just have to live with it and get used to it.
Can't cry over spilled milk after all.
Speaking of Evil Kiva, I decided to tap into my cockpit's communication system to make contact with her to see if she's still alive and with me by my side as I'm Evil Coop now. While I was doing that, I saw the screen reveal the official designation of Evil Coop's mecha to me as MWMD-13 Destro. Which, I rolled my eyes in response.
Of course, how straightforward and fitting of Evil Coop as the MWMD would obviously translate as "Mobile Weapon of Mass Destruction". I wonder if Megas had its own designation by three factions in form of the Glorft that created it as their coup de grace, the Earth Coalition had modified it as their last hope, and the prime Coop who transformed it into his personal giant robot with a muscle car for a head.
Oh well, questions for later.
It's time to make contact with Evil Kiva, the second-in-command of Evil Coop or rather mine now. And so I pressed the button, activating the communication channel of Destro. "Kiva, are you there? If you're alive, report. Tell us where we are!", I ordered, trying to sound and look stern and serious whilst hiding my nervousness and hoping I managed to pull off the act as Evil Coop she knew and addressed to.
Playing as the bad guy shouldn't be hard.
Suddenly, I received a response on my viewscreen, revealing the CMDR-EKA designation followed by a redhead cyborg woman in a dark suit with green glowing mechanical eye and she has a large cable plugged behind her skull to fully pilot the mech. "Affirmative, Lord Harold. It appears that we have been transported to another dimension on the Planet Mars after the traitor Jamie Vashti destroyed the portal when we were about to return to base and regroup as you have ordered.", she informed me with a cold robotic tone.
That brought chills down my spine after hearing her voice because this variant of Kiva Andru had truly lost her humanity and the sight of her goal, ending up more machine than human as her cybernetic appearance alone had demonstrated. Twisted and evil to willingly follow Evil Coop's path as a ruthless warlord in the path of inflicting mass death and destruction.
And wow, Evil Coop was actually addressed as "Lord Harold", huh?
Now that I think about it, Coop's real name was Harold Cooplowski. It made sense why he would abandon his nickname after descending into the evil warmongering villain he was now. The show simply gave him "Evil Coop" in the credits scene. Not only that, I wouldn't be surprised if Alternate Jamie would call him Coop out of bitter spite when fighting him and his forces with the Resistance that used the human-modified Glorft mechs that were salvaged from the ruins of Karajor, the capital ship of Gorrath.
And it appears that Jamie's last name happened to be Vashti*, huh? Interesting, I guess there's more to the Megas XLR universe had the show continued instead of being cancelled and made into a tax write-off by Cartoon Network, those cheap bastards.
"I see. Are there any life forms inhabiting on this planet, Kiva?", I inquired, taking a look around the environment of Mars through the main mono-eye camera of the Destro.
Curtly nodding, Evil Kiva answered to me, "Confirmed, there were hundred thousands of humans with a military base. When you have finally contacted me after your several hours of absence, I had already eradicated them with ease and claimed their base as our own, Lord Harold. All of their bodies have been disposed of by the vaporization of my weaponry. And I have recently procured their machines and industry to rebuild your drone army including creating a new portal for our next conquest of this dimension."
So there are colonists huh? Huh, they might probably be the people of Mars from "Mobile Suit Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans". And they-
Oh right, Evil Kiva had wiped them out.
No survivors left.
And she did it in a manner of a housekeeper taking out the trash and she didn't waste time in setting up shop on Mars. Note to self: never make an enemy out of Evil Kiva and make sure that she remained loyal on my side. The only reason she followed Evil Coop, which I am now, is because of the man's desire to destroy everything in his path and that Destro is the most powerful machine above even her CMD-EKA that might have been repaired and upgraded compared to the prime Kiva's old mech that was probably stuck at Goat's junkyard.
Still, I have a bad feeling that Evil Kiva's rampage and takeover of the base would get the attention of Gjallarhorn Mars Branch, which they would send in their squads of Grazes to investigate and attack her for being responsible in the first place. Better go back her up and take Gjallarhorn forces down when they arrive or already did and attack the base.
"And where is this base of theirs located for you to find and captured?", I asked with hidden anticipation.
"It is at the Olympus Mons in the Tharsis region of Mars, Lord Harold. I am sending you the coordinates of the location.", the cybernetically modified woman from the future informed me along with sending me a set of coordinates of 1839′N 22612′E.
Huh, weird? I thought there would have been several cities and towns dotting across Mars like in Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans.
Eh, whatever, it's time to see this new base set up by Kiva and hopefully there are some remains left for me to recognize.
Using the controls of my Destro's cockpit to activate it, I thanked my lucky stars that I retained Evil Coop's muscle memory when waking up in his body, allowing me to pilot this red monoeye menace of a machine like it was a natural thing to do. I activated Destro's high powered rocket thrusters on the backpack and feet and flew to the skies of Mars.
I admit, it was actually amazing to pilot this mobile suit especially when my cockpit got a cabin pressure stabilizer, keeping my inner organs from exploding. I can be safe to assume that the prime Coop did the same to his car head of Megas XLR along with being able to handle space travel and atmospheric reentry with ease.
Oh boy, I can't wait to check out all the other weapons Destro possessed when I face off the mobile suit forces of Gjallarhorn. The looks on their faces is gonna be priceless especially when their Nanolaminate Armor would be useless against me me.
On the other hand, all systems of Destro have been noted to be green and fully functional so far.
That's a good sign.
When I arrived at the location with the coordinates provided by Evil Kiva, I froze in cold sweat and muttered. "Oh crapbaskets..."
Through the main camera of Destro's monoeye, I saw the entire Mars base had been nothing but smoking ruins and at the center was the fortress of Evil Coop's base with the flags of red flames just like in the show. There are few burning flags that have yet to be taken down from the new base set up by the redhead cyborg. And patrolling around them were some familiar MS-06F Zaku-II-looking mobile suits that were painted in white color and wielding beam rifles similarly like that of Evil Coop's Army.
They happen to be that of Zeon.
I realized that I am not in Iron Blooded Orphans dimension, but rather I'm in the Universal Century dimension instead.
That surprised me because I didn't know that Axis Zeon apparently made a base on Mars as well. I thought they were on the Asteroid Field where they rallied any Zeon Remnant groups that joined them, rebuilt their strength in numbers and quality and developed new mobile suits which they would deploy them during the Gryps Conflict and the First Neo Zeon War.
Instead of Gjallarhorn, it's Axis Zeon I would have to deal with and it is only a matter of time when Haman Karn, the leader of Axis Zeon, would notice something wrong with the Mars Branch going radio silent and send in her forces to investigate. From their perspective, it would appear that a Zeon Remnant group unaffiliated with Axis had gone rogue and attacked their base on the Red Planet, which they would answer such treason with lethal force.
I flew over the recently former Zeon base and headed to my new fortress where I saw four large formations of various mobile suits resembling the Zakus, Doms, Goufs and Gelgoogs at the center of it. All of them are colored white with a symbol of an on/off switch. It's similar when Evil Coop had gathered his entire army to prepare for the invasion of prime Coop's dimension where they would enter through a portal and start the attack.
Speaking of portal, there's one currently working on progress with the Zakus building it under Evil Kiva's direction.
Damn, Evil Kiva is scary for a no-nonsense second-in-command who gets the job done as efficiently as possible.
I made careful landing of Destro with the controls and stood behind Evil Kiva's mech. She turned around to meet me. Opening a communication channel, I contacted her. "So this is the base you've set up for me? I'm impressed honestly. It almost feels like I never left at all."
"I made sure that our new base is the same as ours from our home dimension.", the former Earth Coalition hero emotionlessly stated. "And I also made your living accommodations in your throne room with a breathable atmosphere inside and the food generating machine that once belonged to the late Captain Warlock."
Huh? That's the same machine that prime Coop used to get his food from Captain Warlock's ship during his brief stay. It means now that I can order whatever meal I want and that's awesome.
"And have you procured their spacesuits? I would want one myself when I get out of my Destro.", I said as it would be terrible if I choked to death without a spacesuit for my protection. Because I ain't gonna do what Paptimus Scirocco, Haman Karn and Axis Zeon's Newtype Corps would do when they sortie out in a mobile suit battle without spacesuits.
It's common sense after all, thank you very much.
As for Evil Kiva can probably survive space due to her cyborg body and it would be little concern to her.
She nodded, "Affirmative. They're in your room for you to claim as you wish."
I can see why Evil Coop valued her this much and it's pretty much a popular trend that every Big Bad must have a competent female assistant by his side. Like Lex Luthor and Mercy Graves, and Dr. Drakken and Shego for example.
"Good work Kiva. I knew I can count on you.", I complimented with a smile.
"My thanks, Lord Harold. Once the portal has been completed, we shall return to your insufferable counterpart's dimension and finish what we started. He and the inferior Glorft forces under Gorrath won't know what hit them and learn the error of opposing you and your conquest.", Evil Kiva stated.
Not on my watch as I told her, "Patience, Kiva. We are in no hurry to leave this dimension we've happened to land on. And that I'd like to relax a little before going back into the fray... So, what have you learned from the inhabitants of the former base before you've wiped them out and built up our base of operations."
Evil Kiva diligently answered to me, "After easily accessing to their primitive computer systems, I have discovered that they are called as the "Mars Zeon Independence Army". Formed from the remnants of the defunct Principality of Zeon after they fled from Earth and the Colonies in their defeat at the One Year War and made a base on this planet. They had formulated a plan to destroy the Earth Federation, the government of this dimension, by planting spies within their military and constructing a massive cannon whose purpose is to bombard the Earth from afar."
Huh? So the Zeon base weren't affiliated with Axis at all. Guess I'm safe for now but those spies they sent before Evil Kiva killed them might find out that they might not get responses from Mars when they report about their recent activities on Earth, tipping them off that something is very wrong and then realize the Mars Zeon had been compromised.
"I see, and what happened to the massive cannon now?", I asked in curiosity.
"Dismantled, Lord Harold. These Zeon inferiors would not be able to complete their cannon with their current level of technology and I find it more logical to repurpose their cannon into materials to build a dimensional portal.", the cyborg redhead stated.
That's a shame. It would have been interesting to see what it looked like and how they were going to fire it towards Earth. That kind of weapon might even be Glorft material and they can pull it off better than Mars Zeon did.
Shrugging, I wondered aloud, "Excellent, and what is the year of this dimension?"
"It is 0087 Universal Century, Lord Harold.", Evil Kiva replied.
My eyes widen in surprise after hearing from the revelation because I recognized that year. It is when the Gryps Conflict had officially started on March 2, 0087 U.C. where the AEUG and the Titans began to fight each other. The beginning of "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam", the sequel series of "Mobile Suit Gundam 1979.
I smirked in realization of a grand opportunity as an idea began to form in my mind. I can use my Destro and my new army to wipe out the Titans and later Axis Zeon too as well when they eventually show up to take part of the Gryps Conflict. Kill them all as Tomino-Sensei would do to the characters of works like "Space Runaway Ideon" and "Zambot 3" that I'm familiar of.
Paptimus Scirocco and Haman Karn would be no match for me and my Destro and I won't show mercy to the either of them like what Evil Coop did to prime Coop. Even though Gorrath saved the latter on time.
Destroying them both with immense abhorrence would be most satisfying!
Then I will make myself a jobber to Kamille Bidan and his comrades of the AEUG who would be coming after me for being a threat to Earth and the Colonies since I'm pretty Zeonic all but in name, letting them destroy my forces and defeat me in an epic battle where good shall prevail over evil. Yes, I know it sounded corny but fitting.
Of course, I'm gonna give it my all against the Zeta Gundam and I ain't gonna go down that easily with the full arsenal of Destro at my disposal.
Besides, Kamille will thank me for not ending up in a vegetable state and as a result, Char won't end up losing his faith in humanity with Kamille still mentally intact and trying to drop Axis on Earth as a result.
Either way, our battle will be legendary!
And after that, I'll have Evil Kiva transport me back to our base in Mars with what remained of my drone army, making the AEUG to be hailed as heroes they deserve. With the Titans and Axis Zeon out of the way, the AEUG would be able to reform the Earth Federation as they originally intended. Those guys never got to do it because they lost too many comrades who believed in the cause and the entire organization quietly disbanded after the First Neo Zeon War.
But now they can enact on that, thanks to me who made it possible for them.
It's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!
Genius, I say!
"Why are you smiling, Lord Harold? Are you planning on invading this dimension's Earth?", the ex-Earth Coalition captain questioned.
Briefly snapping myself back, I said in reply while recomposing myself. "Why, yes. Yes, I am. Kiva, do you have the coordinates of this dimension's Earth and their Colonies?"
Evil Kiva nodded to me, "Affirmative, Lord Harold. Once the portal is completed within 0600 hours, I will activate it for you and your forces to begin the assault."
"Good, gooooood...", I sure made a good imitation of one of Palpatine's iconic quotes before I gave my second-in-command instructions. "In the meantime, I want you to stay behind, Kiva. You're in charge of the base to keep mass producing my army until I call you in to send me reinforcements during my invasion."
"Understood, Lord Harold.", she obeyed before focusing back to direct the Zaku drones to finish building up the dimensional portal.
On the meantime, I came to inspect my new army and I got to say they are impressive up close. From what I learned from Evil Coop's memories that are mine, the drones are similarly like the Battle Droids of the Separatist Army. Those said Battle Droids can fight and act on their own without need of a signal keeping them active after what happened in "The Phantom Menace".
But they're very receptive to orders from Evil Coop or rather me now and they will carry it out without hesitation.
Unfortunately, none of my new army can talk and make a conversation like the Battle Droids do. Oh well, I might change that. I can just convince Evil Kiva that it's to fool the enemy into thinking there are pilots inside, not talking giant robots blasting them away to oblivion.
"Zaku and Gelgoog Divisions, come with me. I need to practice.", I ordered before flying away from my base with the drone forces following me. I see that not only they were turned into drones, they were also equipped with high powered rocket thrusters to allow them to fly under the planet's gravity.
Evil Kiva doesn't seem to mind or notice that I knew what the Zakus and Gelgoogs are named as she's more focused on finishing the task at hand.
Once we have reached somewhere on the open fields of Mars, we made our landing. I turned around and used Destro's controls to brandish the red energy sword in front of the Zeonic mobile suits. "Draw your weapons! Attack me with everything you've got! Don't hold back on me!", I told them so that I will be strong and skilled enough to take on the forces of the Titans and Axis Zeon and their top pilots in the future.
Otherwise, it is gonna be embarrassing for me if I made a fool out of myself in mobile suit combat and I would never be seen as a massive threat to be taken down anymore because I didn't train myself at all. And that, it'd be a great opportunity to learn more of the arsenal Destro had for me to use in battle and they may come in handy one day.
In response, the Zakus and Gelgoogs brandished their respective weapons: the Heat Axe and the Beam Naginata.
And then both divisions of my drone army began to charge towards me, acting as if they're gonna kill me.
In response, I screamed with a war cry and directed Destro to attack them with all of my might!
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Author's Note: Alright, Chapter 1 of "Coop d'Etat of Zeon" is done and I hope you guys like it. SI Evil Coop wakes up in the body of the Char Clone of Megas XLR post-Dimensional War before Evil Kiva made Mars as their new base of operations to rebuild the army and created a portal for an invasion. Then SI Evil Coop decided to target the Titans after learning he is in the Zeta Gundam era of the Universal Century and is practicing his combat skills with the expendable army of Zeonic drone mobile suits.
*I made a shout-out to "A Full Frontal Assault (Gundam Unicorn SI)" by @BalerionTheDrake and I recommend you guys to go check his story on Fanfiction . Net, here on Sufficient Velocity and on SpaceBattles.
*A reference to my other Megas XLR crossover story with Gundam IBO where Jamie revealed his surname to be a Vashti, a shout-out to Ian Vashti.

"Owww, where am I?..."

Not only that, I wouldn't be surprised if Alternate Jamie would call him Coop out of bitter spite when fighting him and his forces with the Resistance that used the human-modified Glorft mechs that were salvaged from the ruins of Karajor, the capital ship of Gorrath.
And it appears that Jamie's last name happened to be Vashti*, huh? Interesting, I guess there's more to the Megas XLR universe had the show continued instead of being cancelled and made into a tax write-off by Cartoon Network, those cheap bastards.
"I see. Are there any life forms inhabiting on this planet, Kiva?", I inquired, taking a look around the environment of Mars through the main mono-eye camera of the Destro.
Curtly nodding, Evil Kiva answered to me, "Confirmed, there were hundred thousands of humans with a military base. When you have finally contacted me after your several hours of absence, I had already eradicated them with ease and claimed their base as our own, Lord Harold. All of their bodies have been disposed of by the vaporization of my weaponry. And I have recently procured their machines and industry to rebuild your drone army including creating a new portal for our next conquest of this dimension."
So there are colonists huh? Huh, they might probably be the people of Mars from "Mobile Suit Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans". And they-
Oh right, Evil Kiva had wiped them out.
No survivors left.
And she did it in a manner of a housekeeper taking out the trash and she didn't waste time in setting up shop on Mars. Note to self: never make an enemy out of Evil Kiva and make sure that she remained loyal on my side. The only reason she followed Evil Coop, which I am now, is because of the man's desire to destroy everything in his path and that Destro is the most powerful machine above even her CMD-EKA that might have been repaired and upgraded compared to the prime Kiva's old mech that was probably stuck at Goat's junkyard.
Still, I have a bad feeling that Evil Kiva's rampage and takeover of the base would get the attention of Gjallarhorn Mars Branch, which they would send in their squads of Grazes to investigate and attack her for being responsible in the first place. Better go back her up and take Gjallarhorn forces down when they arrive or already did and attack the base.
"And where is this base of theirs located for you to find and captured?", I asked with hidden anticipation.
"It is at the Olympus Mons in the Tharsis region of Mars, Lord Harold. I am sending you the coordinates of the location.", the cybernetically modified woman from the future informed me along with sending me a set of coordinates of 1839′N 22612′E.
Huh, weird? I thought there would have been several cities and towns dotting across Mars like in Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans.
Eh, whatever, it's time to see this new base set up by Kiva and hopefully there are some remains left for me to recognize.
Using the controls of my Destro's cockpit to activate it, I thanked my lucky stars that I retained Evil Coop's muscle memory when waking up in his body, allowing me to pilot this red monoeye menace of a machine like it was a natural thing to do. I activated Destro's high powered rocket thrusters on the backpack and feet and flew to the skies of Mars.
I admit, it was actually amazing to pilot this mobile suit especially when my cockpit got a cabin pressure stabilizer, keeping my inner organs from exploding. I can be safe to assume that the prime Coop did the same to his car head of Megas XLR along with being able to handle space travel and atmospheric reentry with ease.
Oh boy, I can't wait to check out all the other weapons Destro possessed when I face off the mobile suit forces of Gjallarhorn. The looks on their faces is gonna be priceless especially when their Nanolaminate Armor would be useless against me me.
On the other hand, all systems of Destro have been noted to be green and fully functional so far.
That's a good sign.
When I arrived at the location with the coordinates provided by Evil Kiva, I froze in cold sweat and muttered. "Oh crapbaskets..."
Through the main camera of Destro's monoeye, I saw the entire Mars base had been nothing but smoking ruins and at the center was the fortress of Evil Coop's base with the flags of red flames just like in the show. There are few burning flags that have yet to be taken down from the new base set up by the redhead cyborg. And patrolling around them were some familiar MS-06F Zaku-II-looking mobile suits that were painted in white color and wielding beam rifles similarly like that of Evil Coop's Army.
They happen to be that of Zeon.
I realized that I am not in Iron Blooded Orphans dimension, but rather I'm in the Universal Century dimension instead.
That surprised me because I didn't know that Axis Zeon apparently made a base on Mars as well. I thought they were on the Asteroid Field where they rallied any Zeon Remnant groups that joined them, rebuilt their strength in numbers and quality and developed new mobile suits which they would deploy them during the Gryps Conflict and the First Neo Zeon War.
Instead of Gjallarhorn, it's Axis Zeon I would have to deal with and it is only a matter of time when Haman Karn, the leader of Axis Zeon, would notice something wrong with the Mars Branch going radio silent and send in her forces to investigate. From their perspective, it would appear that a Zeon Remnant group unaffiliated with Axis had gone rogue and attacked their base on the Red Planet, which they would answer such treason with lethal force.
I flew over the recently former Zeon base and headed to my new fortress where I saw four large formations of various mobile suits resembling the Zakus, Doms, Goufs and Gelgoogs at the center of it. All of them are colored white with a symbol of an on/off switch. It's similar when Evil Coop had gathered his entire army to prepare for the invasion of prime Coop's dimension where they would enter through a portal and start the attack.
Speaking of portal, there's one currently working on progress with the Zakus building it under Evil Kiva's direction.
Damn, Evil Kiva is scary for a no-nonsense second-in-command who gets the job done as efficiently as possible.
I made careful landing of Destro with the controls and stood behind Evil Kiva's mech. She turned around to meet me. Opening a communication channel, I contacted her. "So this is the base you've set up for me? I'm impressed honestly. It almost feels like I never left at all."
"I made sure that our new base is the same as ours from our home dimension.", the former Earth Coalition hero emotionlessly stated. "And I also made your living accommodations in your throne room with a breathable atmosphere inside and the food generating machine that once belonged to the late Captain Warlock."
Huh? That's the same machine that prime Coop used to get his food from Captain Warlock's ship during his brief stay. It means now that I can order whatever meal I want and that's awesome.
"And have you procured their spacesuits? I would want one myself when I get out of my Destro.", I said as it would be terrible if I choked to death without a spacesuit for my protection. Because I ain't gonna do what Paptimus Scirocco, Haman Karn and Axis Zeon's Newtype Corps would do when they sortie out in a mobile suit battle without spacesuits.
It's common sense after all, thank you very much.
As for Evil Kiva can probably survive space due to her cyborg body and it would be little concern to her.
She nodded, "Affirmative. They're in your room for you to claim as you wish."
I can see why Evil Coop valued her this much and it's pretty much a popular trend that every Big Bad must have a competent female assistant by his side. Like Lex Luthor and Mercy Graves, and Dr. Drakken and Shego for example.
"Good work Kiva. I knew I can count on you.", I complimented with a smile.
"My thanks, Lord Harold. Once the portal has been completed, we shall return to your insufferable counterpart's dimension and finish what we started. He and the inferior Glorft forces under Gorrath won't know what hit them and learn the error of opposing you and your conquest.", Evil Kiva stated.
Not on my watch as I told her, "Patience, Kiva. We are in no hurry to leave this dimension we've happened to land on. And that I'd like to relax a little before going back into the fray... So, what have you learned from the inhabitants of the former base before you've wiped them out and built up our base of operations."
Evil Kiva diligently answered to me, "After easily accessing to their primitive computer systems, I have discovered that they are called as the "Mars Zeon Independence Army". Formed from the remnants of the defunct Principality of Zeon after they fled from Earth and the Colonies in their defeat at the One Year War and made a base on this planet. They had formulated a plan to destroy the Earth Federation, the government of this dimension, by planting spies within their military and constructing a massive cannon whose purpose is to bombard the Earth from afar."
Huh? So the Zeon base weren't affiliated with Axis at all. Guess I'm safe for now but those spies they sent before Evil Kiva killed them might find out that they might not get responses from Mars when they report about their recent activities on Earth, tipping them off that something is very wrong and then realize the Mars Zeon had been compromised.
"I see, and what happened to the massive cannon now?", I asked in curiosity.
"Dismantled, Lord Harold. These Zeon inferiors would not be able to complete their cannon with their current level of technology and I find it more logical to repurpose their cannon into materials to build a dimensional portal.", the cyborg redhead stated.
That's a shame. It would have been interesting to see what it looked like and how they were going to fire it towards Earth. That kind of weapon might even be Glorft material and they can pull it off better than Mars Zeon did.
Shrugging, I wondered aloud, "Excellent, and what is the year of this dimension?"
"It is 0087 Universal Century, Lord Harold.", Evil Kiva replied.
My eyes widen in surprise after hearing from the revelation because I recognized that year. It is when the Gryps Conflict had officially started on March 2, 0087 U.C. where the AEUG and the Titans began to fight each other. The beginning of "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam", the sequel series of "Mobile Suit Gundam 1979.
I smirked in realization of a grand opportunity as an idea began to form in my mind. I can use my Destro and my new army to wipe out the Titans and later Axis Zeon too as well when they eventually show up to take part of the Gryps Conflict. Kill them all as Tomino-Sensei would do to the characters of works like "Space Runaway Ideon" and "Zambot 3" that I'm familiar of.
Paptimus Scirocco and Haman Karn would be no match for me and my Destro and I won't show mercy to the either of them like what Evil Coop did to prime Coop. Even though Gorrath saved the latter on time.
Destroying them both with immense abhorrence would be most satisfying!
Then I will make myself a jobber to Kamille Bidan and his comrades of the AEUG who would be coming after me for being a threat to Earth and the Colonies since I'm pretty Zeonic all but in name, letting them destroy my forces and defeat me in an epic battle where good shall prevail over evil. Yes, I know it sounded corny but fitting.
Of course, I'm gonna give it my all against the Zeta Gundam and I ain't gonna go down that easily with the full arsenal of Destro at my disposal.
Besides, Kamille will thank me for not ending up in a vegetable state and as a result, Char won't end up losing his faith in humanity with Kamille still mentally intact and trying to drop Axis on Earth as a result.
Either way, our battle will be legendary!
And after that, I'll have Evil Kiva transport me back to our base in Mars with what remained of my drone army, making the AEUG to be hailed as heroes they deserve. With the Titans and Axis Zeon out of the way, the AEUG would be able to reform the Earth Federation as they originally intended. Those guys never got to do it because they lost too many comrades who believed in the cause and the entire organization quietly disbanded after the First Neo Zeon War.
But now they can enact on that, thanks to me who made it possible for them.
It's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!
Genius, I say!
"Why are you smiling, Lord Harold? Are you planning on invading this dimension's Earth?", the ex-Earth Coalition captain questioned.
Briefly snapping myself back, I said in reply while recomposing myself. "Why, yes. Yes, I am. Kiva, do you have the coordinates of this dimension's Earth and their Colonies?"
Evil Kiva nodded to me, "Affirmative, Lord Harold. Once the portal is completed within 0600 hours, I will activate it for you and your forces to begin the assault."
"Good, gooooood...", I sure made a good imitation of one of Palpatine's iconic quotes before I gave my second-in-command instructions. "In the meantime, I want you to stay behind, Kiva. You're in charge of the base to keep mass producing my army until I call you in to send me reinforcements during my invasion."
"Understood, Lord Harold.", she obeyed before focusing back to direct the Zaku drones to finish building up the dimensional portal.
On the meantime, I came to inspect my new army and I got to say they are impressive up close. From what I learned from Evil Coop's memories that are mine, the drones are similarly like the Battle Droids of the Separatist Army. Those said Battle Droids can fight and act on their own without need of a signal keeping them active after what happened in "The Phantom Menace".
But they're very receptive to orders from Evil Coop or rather me now and they will carry it out without hesitation.
Unfortunately, none of my new army can talk and make a conversation like the Battle Droids do. Oh well, I might change that. I can just convince Evil Kiva that it's to fool the enemy into thinking there are pilots inside, not talking giant robots blasting them away to oblivion.
"Zaku and Gelgoog Divisions, come with me. I need to practice.", I ordered before flying away from my base with the drone forces following me. I see that not only they were turned into drones, they were also equipped with high powered rocket thrusters to allow them to fly under the planet's gravity.
Evil Kiva doesn't seem to mind or notice that I knew what the Zakus and Gelgoogs are named as she's more focused on finishing the task at hand.
Once we have reached somewhere on the open fields of Mars, we made our landing. I turned around and used Destro's controls to brandish the red energy sword in front of the Zeonic mobile suits. "Draw your weapons! Attack me with everything you've got! Don't hold back on me!", I told them so that I will be strong and skilled enough to take on the forces of the Titans and Axis Zeon and their top pilots in the future.
Otherwise, it is gonna be embarrassing for me if I made a fool out of myself in mobile suit combat and I would never be seen as a massive threat to be taken down anymore because I didn't train myself at all. And that, it'd be a great opportunity to learn more of the arsenal Destro had for me to use in battle and they may come in handy one day.
In response, the Zakus and Gelgoogs brandished their respective weapons: the Heat Axe and the Beam Naginata.
And then both divisions of my drone army began to charge towards me, acting as if they're gonna kill me.
In response, I screamed with a war cry and directed Destro to attack them with all of my might!
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Author's Note: Alright, Chapter 1 of "Coop d'Etat of Zeon" is done and I hope you guys like it. SI Evil Coop wakes up in the body of the Char Clone of Megas XLR post-Dimensional War before Evil Kiva made Mars as their new base of operations to rebuild the army and created a portal for an invasion. Then SI Evil Coop decided to target the Titans after learning he is in the Zeta Gundam era of the Universal Century and is practicing his combat skills with the expendable army of Zeonic drone mobile suits.
