AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I finished It, i am Pleased. GOOD JOB YOU WRITE GOOD 15/10 would read again... Then fourteen years later, Nanako Ray adventures with a disgruntled Commander, a hyperactive teleporting Musha, and a plucky scientist Gundam who everyone is low-key afraid of but Madnug is not entirely sure why. Hijinks ensue. (but no really, effin' awesome writing, you Rock even though you actively Torment Me For Funsies).
The funniest part of this suggestion is the idea that Sazabi’s ‘punishment’ has never really ended. And because he actively joined the SDG in order for a crack at Zeong now he’s. stuck actually. doing his job for the Neo Gundam Force.
Gunbike/Gunpanzer retired years ago and is on some sunny beach somewhere. Now Sazabi’s the one yelling at people to pick up their feet, and it so happens he is a professional yeller-at-people.
He’s still grounded. But Neotopia found the ultimate way to keep him grounded. Which is, give him responsibilities and make him feel important.
Still, he has a lot on his hands. Some weird, eager young space cadet that should be his ‘boss.’ A haughty punk musha gundam he routinely badgers for custody of ZZ, GG, and DD. A shrinking violet knight gundam that has some kind of magic baggage because she was born under inauspicious stars related to that asshole Deathscythe or whatever.
And this perky brat that he literally remembers being a baby and has the power to sass him and get away with it.
