ROTFL: MAO!

[BYapes]

 I did not write te fic, but found it awesome all the same. ( And when we're taking SEED destiny fanfics, that's takes a lot of saying!)
 A little bit of dialogue from Gundam Seed Serenity that answers the question of why you never say a particular phrase:

"This is Makoto Michiru Taiyonoha in the Serenity Gundam," she called out. She heard gasps filling the comm. line. "Supreme Commander of the Izanami Defense Force. All Orb forces please withdraw from the shoreline and tighten the defense line around the city. We will take over the counterattack. We'll drive ZAFT right back to Carpentaria!"

"You and what army?" sneered Zane.

"That one," said Makoto, making a gentle motion upwards—not that it was needed as alarms went off on every sensor throughout Orb.

"What the hell?" gasped Shinn, staring at the sky.

Dozens upon dozens of drop pods fell through the atmosphere, breaking through clouds before opening up. M2 Angelus', M3 Guardians and production model M4 Yamatos fell from the pods briefly before activating. The M2s spread their wings and activated thrusters, shooting forward to attack, alongside the M3s as they shifted to mobile armor mode. The M4s drew their beam daisho and moved to defend the shoreline.

That wasn't what was frightening, though. What struck terror through the onlookers was what came down following the drop pods:

A Minerva-class battleship. Not one, not two, but three Archangel-class assault ships. Four dozen warships almost none of them had ever laid eyes on before, though a dozen, the Athena-class battleships, were reminiscent of a combination of the Minerva and Archangel, while the remaining three dozen, the Yomi-class cruisers, were most reminiscent of a combination of the Minerva and Izumo-classes.

And most awe-inspiring of all, the flagship that spearheaded the fleet: the Eternal.

"Let's go," said Kira, spreading the Strike Freedom's wings.

 And from the chapter after that...

ZAFT was doing better on the ground than in the air. The First Fleet dominated the skies over Onogoro and had already cleared every ZAFT machine in the vicinity of the mainland. But ZAFT still had plenty of mobile suits to throw at Orb and Izanami, and on the ground, the ZAKUs advanced fiercely.

That is, until a scene all too familiar to one Astray pilot repeated itself as black flames sprouted from thin air and consumed four ZAKUs in the dark inferno.

"What the hell?" cried a GOUF pilot.

"Lieutenant, what is that?" questioned an Astray pilot. The lieutenant trembled slightly—he'd seen this before, two and a half years ago.

The black fire steadily died down… and there it was: the most terrifying mobile suit ever conceived.

A cursory glance didn't suggest much change since the first time the demon had set fire to its opponents, but a closer look revealed much more leathery, organic-looking wings, torn and tattered; circuitry was exposed in some of its horrendous scars with electricity faintly crackling. A pair of demonic horns sprouted from its head in place of the normal V crest, but the right horn was broken in half, and what remained was filled with fractures, looking ready to shatter like brittle bone. A gash fell from its headcrest through its right eye and horrifically fractured right jaw, exposing more circuitry and its demonic right eye for all to see. The entire right half of the monster's head looked like a total nightmare—a terrifying contrast to the pristine left side of the head.

The eyes flashed to life with a demonic glow, the right eye an evil red, and the left a possessed white with spiraling blue. The demon gripped its weapon in both hands, and a massive scythe of red beam energy sprouted to life.

At least one ZAFT pilot really did lose control of his bladder, knowing what was standing before him.

"I guess I must enjoy being the Grim Reaper," said Nicol softly. "There's no other explanation for why I keep coming back to this. Well then… Blackfire Blitz! Let's show them the power of a real demon!"

 And yes, that's Nicol riding that thing.
