History WMG / MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans

Concerning a grown up Akatsuki serving in the military of the Outer Sphere Union (What the Mars Union will call itself after colonising the moons of Jupiter, Saturn, and the outer planets). As an officer serving in the Cavalry regiment, he will encounter space pirates, rogue intelligence organisations, and secret weapons of mass destruction. And maybe, he is invited to join a secret organisation headed by Ride Mass and Almiria Bauduin, vying for the destruction of Gjallerhorn and controlling events from behind the scenes , ala the Patriots from Metal Gear. With this in mind, the organisation, based in the Ort Cloud, have constructed a new Gundam, with its own array of Nanolaminate Armor defeating beam weaponry and advanced AV system, enabling Akatsuki to meld with the mind of his father, combining the brute force of Mikazuki and the precision of Akatsuki. With this new, advanced Gundam, Akatsuki, in a massive twist, become the CharClone of the series.

[[WMG: If this series ends up in a SuperRobotWars game alongside Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE, there will be 2 scenarios from each side's perspective.]]

[[spoiler: only as a villain, and they'd be forced to kill eachother]]

* [[spoiler: Dashed, Mika turned them all into mush, and Masahiro let himself get killed]]

* Alternatively, Iok himself pulling a HeroicSacrifice to spare Julieta from [[spoiler:[[ManInTheMachine being a living Mobile Suit]]]]. In short, Julieta trades her humanity for an inhuman power to defeat Tekkadan, at the cost of [[spoiler:[[AndThenJohnWasAZombie gradually turning into a mindless, autonomous Mobile Suit]], in which everyone using Alaya system for long would eventually become.]] In order to spare Julieta from DyingAlone, Iok flies toward the Reginlaze Julia and [[TakingYouWithMe fires the Dainsleif at a point blank range]] so they both can [[TogetherInDeath stay together in their afterlife]], [[RedemptionEqualsDeath redeeming himself]] once and for all... Just like how a certain [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica red haired Magical Girl]] sparing her fallen friend from DyingAlone.

* Last but not least, if [[spoiler: Ein]] ''somehow'' managed to be NotQuiteDead and was installed into the Bael, then he would become a mindless beast attacking everyone indiscriminately. Being his OnlyFriend, Vidar [[spoiler: a.k.a. Gaelio]] would be the only one who can save the pilot and would perform a HeroicSacrifice by a self-destruction so they can be TogetherInDeath, [[spoiler: mirroring the event where a Kyoko Sakura spared her fallen former friend from DyingAlone.]]
** The last 2 seem kind of unlikely - if Almiria ended up being the pilot, that would go straight into DudeNotFunny territory, not to mention that it would probably break [=McGillis=]'s promise to keep Almiria happy. If the latter ended up being the case, it would be kind of an Asspull, since [[spoiler: all signs point to Ein being dead]]. Now, the first sounds like the perfect set-up for a Movie Sequel to IBO, while the latter would probably be the perfect choice for a DownerEnding - having Mika lose his humanity at the end of the series.

* Alternatively, Iok himself pulling a HeroicSacrifice to spare Julieta from [[spoiler:[[ManInTheMachine being a living Mobile Suit]]]]. In short, Julieta trades her humanity for an inhuman power to defeat Tekkadan, at the cost of [[spoiler:[[AndThenJohnWasAZombie gradually turning into a mindless, autonomous Mobile Suit]], in which everyone using Alaya system for long would eventually become.]] In order to spare Julieta from DyingAlone, Iok flies toward the Reginlaze Julia and [[TakingYouWithMe fires the Dainsleif at a point blank range]] so they both can [[TogetherInDeath stay together in their afterlife]], [[RedemptionEqualsDeath redeeming himself]] once and for all... wait!

* Last but not least, if [[spoiler: Ein]] ''somehow'' managed to be NotQuiteDead and was installed into the Bael, then he would become a mindless beast attacking everyone indiscriminately. Being his OnlyFriend, Vidar [[spoiler: a.k.a. Gaelio]] would be the only one who can save the pilot and would perform a HeroicSacrifice by a self-destruction so they can be TogetherInDeath, [[spoiler: mirroring the event where a [[SelfDemonstrating/KyokoSakura certain Magical Girl]] spared her fallen former friend from DyingAlone.]]

* Alternatively, Iok himself pulling a HeroicSacrifice to spare Julieta from [[spoiler:[[ManInTheMachine being a living Mobile Suit]]]]. In short, Julieta trades her humanity for an inhuman power to defeat Tekkadan, at the cost of [[spoiler:[[AndThenJohnWasAZombie gradually turning into a mindless, autonomous Mobile Suit]], in which everyone using Alaya system for long would eventually become.]] In order to spare Julieta from DyingAlone, Iok flies toward the Reginlaze Julia and [[TakingYouWithMe fires the Dainsleif at a point blank range]] so they both can [[TogetherInDeath stay together in their afterlife]], [[RedemptionEqualsDeath redeeming himself]] once and for all...[[SelfDemonstrating/KyokoSakura wait!]]

* Impaled in his mech by the [[spoiler:Barbatos Lupus Rex's blade-tail]]

** Alternatively, [=McGillis=] would put Almiria into a Mobile Suit and force her to pilot it, using her as a human shield against Gaelio.

*** I was referring to the compilation movies for ''00'' (the Special Edition), not ''Awakening of the Trailblazer'' (which I am aware is a compilation movie). One of the reason why the Zeta Gundam movie was so controversial was because the editing, not to mention that the ending did kind of retcon Unicorn out of continuity. They're probably not gonna return to the PD timeline anyways, so they might as well give us another ending to go out with a bang, although giving Gjallarhorn more point of view, as well as maybe showing them regretting how things went down would ease the BrokenBase.

** Just to clarify: the [[Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer Gundam 00 movie]] is NOT a CompilationMovie; it's a continuation to Season 2. As for IBO, a CompilatationMovie is possible but another idea I want to put is that because the TV series focused too much on Tekkadan, maybe the movie might show more on Gjallarhorn's side which might serve as an AuthorsSavingThrow to expand the characterization on other Gjallarhorn characters (particularly Julieta and Rustal) and show more certain scenes such as [[spoiler:how Gaelio was saved and became Vidar]]. Of course, the ending might be same. But if the producers are willing to risk for an Alternate Ending just like Zeta Gundam movie (such as the main character surviving), then so be it. Canoncity would probably not matter in the Gundam franchise.

[[spoiler: Orga's dead. I don't see Mikazuki folding to not protect his comrades as much as possible. WIth Tekkadan on the defensive on Mars, they really have nowhere to go when Gallarhorn can bring down more and more forces to bear from orbit. Either way, we're headed for a BittersweetEnding or an outright DownerEnding. Julietta will be the one to do it ala Asemu Asuno vs Diesel. The Super normal pilot vs the enhanced pilot.]]
* [[spoiler:Half-confirmed, half jossed. She did confronted Mika, but when she cuts open the Barbatos' cockpit and severed its head, he's already dead due to blood loss.]]

Tekkaden will lead the offensive on the Arianhod fleet. During the struggle Gaelilio will appear to challenge them, hoping that [=Mcgillis=] is with them. Barbatos, Flauro, and Guison will all be heavily damaged only for [[BigDamnHeroes Orga]] to put down Gaelilio with a surprise attack. Latter though being obsessed with power Mcgillis goes back on his deal and is [[AntiClimaxBoss dealt with]] by Mika.

[[spoiler:Out of regret and the fact he can't bring himself to fully hate [=McGillis=], Gaelio will install [=McGillis=]' Brain into the Kimaris Vidar, further increasing the efficiency of the Alaya System Type-E as well as reuniting the trio once again.]]

** [[Jossed, [=McGillis=] did fought against Iok, but he still survives, and [=McGillis=] himself is offed by Gaelio later on.]]

* Court-martialed, sent to prison, [[spoiler:Mcgillis arranges for Orga to be snuck into the same prison, where he shanks Iok in the shower]]
