La Révolution

From Asaction

Revision as of 20:31, 7 July 2007

Interestingly enough, inu decided to give the fanfic a second chance, except this time around, the AD regulars would write the continuations of the story. This happened since inu just didn't have the time to continue the story and the AD regulars wanted it their way... though they weren't even in Burger King...

The Thread

Here's the thread, yo.

The Plot

The story takes place in Actonia in the capital city of Orly. The main character is named Lucille Compton (although you wouldn't know it from the last several chapters). There's a revolution goin on and stuff.

La Révolution centers around the lives of the citizens governed by a tyranical Head Governor named Michelle Ozzal and the revolution that is planned to bring justice back to all of Actonia and liberate it from Ozzal's control.

Chapters /w Summaries

• Chapter 1 by inuyashafan213 - While reading through a newspaper, Lucille "Cille" Compton notices a headline about a death-sentenced traitor from the infamous terrorist group, the Blacken Syndicate, named for its leader, Landon Blaken. The article offers no specific information on who the traitor, only that it is in fact a "he," driving Cille to worry when she suspects that the traitor is Landon, who is incidentally her former love interest. Her longtime friend, Eric Ominae, pays her a visit and attempts to settle her conscience. He departs only before Cille is informed that her adopted son, Raef, has been kidnapped.

• Chapter 2 by mgangel1124 - Hikki, a French baker in Luna's cafe, hears that Raef has been kidnapped. As one of the leaders of the new Syndicate, he calls a meeting to order. While most of the members drink, Hikki, who is French; Spice, who had her Spam factory shut down by Ozzal; Gottel, who had his ass mutilated during a previous riot; Angel, who's father was killed by her ex-boyfriend Matrix, who now works for Ozzal; and Captain Yemman, original Syndicate member who lost his mind after being tortured by Ozzal for information; plan their strategy of attack for rescuing Raef and the imprisoned would-be assassin. It involves cake and strippers.

• Chapter 3 by HeeroYuy135 - Heero and Riza, a freelance sniper team from Babblstan, arrive at Trunk's Pub for a quick drink of water. As Riza takes off to use the bathroom upstairs, Hikki finds out that the two are married and takes an opporunity to seduce Heero despite that fact, which results in Riza overracting by pulling a gun on him. Hikki later learns that they are freelancer snipers, and offers them a job in the Syndicate, which the duo accepts because all three of them share the same goal in taking down Ozzal.

• Chapter 4 by FurionTassadar - A mysterious scarred man (Goda!) discusses the recent capture of Landon and Raef with Major Tom Taredan. Meanwhile, another branch of the Syndicate (consisting of Father John Sadar, Kirara Amour, Wyatt Matthews, and Elizabeth Saurie St. Guardsman) meets at the Gunsmoke Inc. bar to discuss the plan to rescue Landon and Raef. They choose to help out by rescuing Raef while Hikki's team, from the Trunk's Pub, goes after Landon.

• Chapter 5 by Kohikki - The plan to rescue the captives at Comdot estate is finally put in motion. Everything seems to be running smoothly until Emiri, a rather violent and possibly psychotic woman working under Ozzal confronts the members of the syndicate during their raid. The members of Father Sader's branch of the syndicate show up and free Raef, and it's discovered that Landon wasn't really captured in Comdot at all and it's likely that idea of him being the captive was only set up as an elaborate trap. Meanwhile, Emiri encounters Father Sader in the stairway where she learns that he may be more of a match for her than she had thought, making her incredibly interested in him.

• Chapter 6 - Breaking the Case by pierrot-le-fou - Keith Douglas goes about some of his daily routines as he and his partner, Allen Black, investigate the break in at Comdot Estate. Keith later meets up with Wyatt Matthews, who was an old informant for the national police. Wyatt has recently joined back up with the syndicate and informs Keith of everything that happened the previous night.

• Chapter 7 by matrixman124 - Titled "Enter Ozzal," this chapter introduces the main antagonist of the story, Head Governor Michelle Ozzal. General Bernice Zoltron, the overseer of the war with Rantonia, discusses the current war plans with Ozzal. Meanwhile, the infamous, perverted Professor M. Matrix is finally introduced, along with his lab assistants, Larry Zorin and Amy. Larry thinks to himself about his misfortune. Suddenly, an explosion rocks Comdot Estate. Ozzal finds out that Matrix and his sidekicks are responsible. She scolds them. Tom Taredan enters as Ozzal tries acting sinister in order to inform her that her Hot Pockets are ready.

• Chapter 8 by mgangel1124 - After successfully rescuing Raef, the Syndicate members celebrate in Trunks' Pub when Hikki sees that Angel and the big stripper cake are missing. Angel has gone to Comdot to take revenge on Matrix. They talk, and Angel ends up being Matrix's personal stripper. Eventually, she cuts off his dick and takes back her father's book of inventions to fulfill her vengeance.

• Chapter 9 by HeeroYuy135 - Heero talks to Hikki about being part of the Syndicate as a member, which Hikki agrees and brings them on board. Then Heero and Riza go to the St. Maria's Cathedral to confess their sins. Priestess Nafah meets up with them inside the church and hears them out. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Charles Crème, one of Ozzal's assassins, gets a lead on Hikki's Syndicate group and decides to raid Trunk's Pub with a commando team to eliminate the Syndicate group and take Hikki into custody. They are met by Heero, Riza, and Trunks as a heated firefight occurs within the pub. Afterwards, Crème, Heero, Riza, and Trunks get involved in a Mexican Standoff, which results in Heero taking the first shot, Crème shooting at Heero, and the other two killing Crème. 21 soldiers, including Crème, die in the raid, and Heero is badly injured taking bullets in the shoulder, leg, and chest, but nowhere near any vital spots.

• Chapter 10: Part 1/Part 2/Part 3/Part 4 by k_dawg_3484

• Chapter 11 by inuyashafan213 - Father Sadar and Samson are sent on a quiet mission by Hikki to gather information about the Blacken Syndicate from inside the Comdot Estate archives, in hopes of learning something useful against Ozzal and also seeing what the government has discovered about the Syndicate's activities and members. While analyzing reports on the ambush of Trunks' pub, Samson and Sadar discover that a mole was responsible for revealing the location of the Syndicate's headquarters. After reading the report on Heero's murder, they also learn that his killing was actually ordered by Ozzal. Samson's curiosity also leads him to check another file which he thinks is suspicious, uncovering a secret government operation involving homicidal athlete Jake Thompson and an assassination attempt against the President of Comedia. Sadar and Samson are interrupted when Jake himself appears and tries to kill them. They escape, but only to run into Emiri, and soon after Jake catches up. Samson is captured by Emiri, while Sadar escapes, bloody and battered, to St. Maria's Cathedral. Jake and Emiri follow him to the cathedral and attempt to finish him, but their attempt is foiled when Sister Leah Nafah arrives to defend Sadar and demonstrates unique and powerful spiritual abilities on the minions of Ozzal. After Jake and Emiri are chased away, Leah helps Sadar, who faints after stating his promise to return to the Estate and rescue Samson.

• Chapter 12: Part 1/Part 2 by Cille - Cille's backstory is revealed, from her privileged upbringing and the addition of Raef to her family (first as her adoptive brother, and then as her son after the death of her parents) to her ill-fated whirlwind romance with Landon Blaken. After Raef's kidnapping, Cille sets about trying to find him and learn more about Landon's Syndicate, but she is unsuccessful until an enigmatic and speed-obsessed Alter user named Straight Cougar contacts her and brings her to the Syndicate (quite possibly saving her from being apprehended by Ozzal's minions). An emergency Syndicate meeting to discuss the deaths of Heero and Riza turns to planning a rescue operation to save Samson, and Cougar reveals new depths of Ozzal's dastardly world-domination plot.
