A fantastical story concerning giant robots, Meta-humans, Atlantis, war, truth, justice, love, and any other crap I can think of. Started as an attempt to make a crossover fanfic about Code Geass and Darker than Black but evolved into an entirely (or mostly) original work. Fun for all ages, well, most of them.

Provides Examples Of:
- Amazon Brigade: The aptly named Valkyrie Squadron, consisting solely of female pilots.
- Awesome Moment of Crowning: Xenon Æon being crowned the next Emperor of Atlantis.
- Badass Army: The Æon Knights, so much so that their mooks are tough enough to take on an Ace without much trouble. There aren't too many of them though.
- Child Soldiers: The Seraphim, genetically modified children serving as super soldiers.
- Custom Uniform: A few of them, most characters stick to standard pilot suits though.
- Death Ray: The Daedalus Satellite, the Nanolaser Cannon, the Infinitum's overdrive Cannon.
- During the War: Midnight's Crusaders started a rebellion that grew into an all out war.
- Earth Is a Battlefield: Despite the surface being conquered by Atlantis, the rise of Midnight and other imitators have made the surface world a warzone yet again.
- New Meat: John Thompson, rookie of the 545th Foreign Legion Squadron.
- Noodle Incident: A gruesome one actually, when Q sends the first Z into a tear in the space-time continuum to get rid of him.
- Power Glows: When Meta-humans activate their powers a blue aura surrounds them and intensifies proportionally to their power.
- The Reveal: Lemuré is actually Midnight. The Black Knight is Kurogane Kurosaki who happens to be Christina's real father. Archibald was taking orders from Xenon the entire time.
- Redshirt Army: Both played straight and subverted. Played straight whenever an opposing force is up against an ace unit. Subverted when opposing forces face non-aces. They're more or less evenly matched, though there is a little lean towards the Crusader side winning.
- Shout-Out: The STAND ALONE ... COMPLEX line in Void's speech. Also Meta-humans eyes glow red and a blue aura surrounds them when they use their powers, like Darker than Black. Arguably Midnight is also a shout out to Code Geass's Zero. Funnily, this whole story started as attempt for a cross over fanfic of the last two.
- Squad Nickname: Amelia's Aces, a.k.a the 545th Foreign Legion Squadron.
- The Squad: The 545th Foreign Legion Squadron, Paladin Squadron, and Midnight's Shadows.
