Finally, the first chapter is done. Well it took awhile, but here is the first chapter of the first Super Robot Wars/Sailor Moon crossover! For all of you who are not familiar with Super Robot Wars, it is a series of games that bring a number of mecha animes and mangas together for an awesome story. Of course, I don't expect many of you to be aware of a number of series that I will be using in this story. In fact, I'd be surprised if some of you know about ten of the series used in this massive multi-crossover. As for how massive, there are over 80 hero pilots and over 100 machines that will take part in this story.
Here are most of the series I plan on including: Mobile Suit Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED/Destiny/Astray, After War Gundam X, Turn A Gundam, New Mobile Report Gundam Wing, Eureaka Seven, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Macross Frontier, Zoids, Big O, Overman King Gainer, Mazinger, Gravion, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, Xenosaga, Super Robot Wars: Original Generation 1 & 2, Super Robot Wars Z, Martian Successor Nadesico, Zoids Genesis, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and some other series that will probably make appearances such as Escaflowne and Magical Knight Rayearth.
As for pairings, I'm mainly planning on shipping Hotaru with Rey Za Burrel. Usagi has Momaru, so that's not debatable. The other pairings that are not debatable are Haruka/Michiru and Setsuna/Heine Westenflues. I will only do one shipping with one of the G-Boys, so choose carefully. Other pairings will be determined in the future by your's truely or by those who review.
If you want to understand what the hell is going on in the story, here are several websites that I suggest you have up as you read:
MAHQ- help with Gundam, Macross, and Super Robot Wars
Gate of Magus-helps with machines and pilots from Super Robot Wars to a greater extent than MAHQ
Manga Fox has the manga versions of some of these series, particularly Crossbone Gundam and Gundam SEED Astray.
As said before, this is a big project, probably the biggest one I'll ever do, about 45 chapters. I really need your support so please, I cannot stress this enough, review! Hope all you mecha freaks enjoy
Banpresto owns Super Robot Wars, Bandai owns Gundam and most of the mecha series that will take part in this story, Gainex owns Evangelion, and Hasbro owns Zoids.
Chapter 1
Operation White Knight Part 1
Battleship LHM-BB01 Minerva, located in Earth's Orbit:
"Bright-kancho, are all preparations on your ship complete," asked a woman with dirty-blonde hair, staring at an image of the man she was speaking to on the ship's main monitor. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself before commencing one of the largest missions of her military career working with other ships from different militarys and three ships with unclear intentions. Despite the various flaws and the fear of trusting the lives of her crew and pilots to people she had met just two days ago, Talia Gladys knew that the success of the operation was vital to the survival of the human race of this dimension and possibly her own.
Battleship Argama, located in Earth's Orbit:
"All preparations for Operation White Knight are complete, Gladys-kancho," answered the captain of the Argama and seasoned war veteran, Bright Noa. "I have just confirmed that Minase-kancho, Lefina-kancho, Branstein-kancho, and Wilder-kancho have completed their preparations as well." Captain Bright hung up the phone then picked up to contact the mobile suit hangar of his ship. "Amuro, are you ready?"
"Hmph, after all these years, you still ask me that question? Are you sure you shouldn't retire?" The red-haired ace of the conflict termed "The One-Year War," Amuro Ray sat in the cockpit of his mobile suit, the RX-98 Nu Gundam (Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack). "The others are ready as well," he reported, glaring at a large red mobile suit directly across from him. Amuro opened a communication line to his long-time rival, Char Aznable, pilot of the MSN-04 Sazabi. "Char, remember that we are here to save Earth, not destroy it. If you do anything to harm the inhabitants, I kill you on the spot," Amuro warned, the hate for this man seeping from his words.
Char, the current leader of the Neo-Zeon forces from his dimension, returned the glare to Amuro Ray. "You should know me better than that, Amuro. Unlike our Earth, the people here have not had their souls weighed down by gravity. So you can try to kill me, if you have the skill." Char cut the line and sighed. 'To think I would be a part of the Londo Bell fleet, how ironic.'
"Attention all crew, Operation White Knight is now commencing. All mobile suits launch and take your place according to the plan." Following the announcement, the doors on the Argama's mobile suit hanger opened and Nu Gundam and Sazabi were the first loaded on the catapults.
"Amuro Ray, taking off in Nu Gundam," stated the newtype pilot as he pushed the control stick forward, launching the black and white gundam into space.
On the other side of the ship, the Sazabi launched silently without using the catapult. In seconds after the first two mobile suits were launched, the MSZ-010 Gundam Double Zeta and the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam were loaded on the catapult (Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ).
"Judau Ashta, Double Zeta, launching," stated a fourteen year old newtype boy with dark brown hair.
"Roux Louka, Zeta Gundam taking off." Besides Amuro and Char, Roux was one of the more professional pilots, in terms of military discipline. However, despite being one year older than Judau and his friends, the purple-haired girl was just as immature, but would never admit it.
The third wave of mobile suits to launch from the Argama consisted of the Rx-178 Gundam Mark II and the MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki. "Gundam Mark II, Elle Vianno, heading out," announced another female pilot. Elle was the same age as Judau and one of his best friends, always keeping him on the "right path." On the other hand, the young blonde was usually at odds with Roux.
"Beecha Oleg, taking off with the Hyaku Shiki." Beecha was probably one of the most underhanded personnel on board the Argama, but it was probably that characteristic that made him so useful in combat. However, his friendship with Judau and the others kept him from being a coward, as well as the frightening thought of suffering Char's wrath (Hyaku Shiki was Char's mobile suit before he left AEUG—Against Earth United Government- to become the leader of Neo-Zeon).
Little Gray:
"Well, that's the green light to start the operation. Is everyone ready," asked Captain Ommo, a young red-haired woman (sorry, I don't know Ommo's last name or if she has red hair. The only things I know about her come from reading the Gundam Crossbone: Skullheart manga) in her mid-twenties. For several months, she served as the captain for the Little Gray, the new mothership of the Crossbone Vanguard. Even though she was not as skilled as former captain Berah Ronah, she was quickly accepted and well respected by the little gang of pirates. However, the true leadership of the Crossbone Vanguard laid in the hands of the pilot of the XM-X1 (F-97) Crossbone Gundam X-1 Kai Kai "Skullheart," Tobia Arronax. "Tobia, you ready in there kid," asked Ommo, receiving a nod from the sixteen year old boy. "Alright you scurvy dogs, time to show these military stiffs how pirates role! Let's get out there and kick some alien ass," she shouted, receiving cheers from every crew member on the ship. On the helm of the ship stood the infamous black and white gundam with X-shaped thrusters, a ragged black cloak made of anti-beam cloth, and the famous Skull and bones placed right above the cockpit.
"Tobia Arronax, heading out to collect some booty," said the blonde-haired boy with a grin. Unlike his usual cautiousness, Tobia felt like doing something daring, mostly to impress his girlfriend, Bernadette Briett, a girl a year younger than him as well as the daughter of former president Crux Dogatie of the Jupiter Empire, the enemy of the Crossbone Vanguard. Tobia turned the gundam to face the bridge of the Little Gray, did a quick, two-finger salute then plunged backwards off the ship into Earth's atmosphere.
Following the departure of the Skullheart, the Little Gray released two other mobile suits into the atmosphere, both of them Gundam-types. The closest Gundam was mostly white with red shoulder armor and a red battle skirt, with its most distinguishing feature being a beam gatling gun mounted on its left arm. This machine was named XXXG-01H Gundam Heavyarms piloted by a sixteen-year old mercenary named Trowa Barton. The other Gundam had a black upper torso and black shoulder armor with gold trimming and a white head. As one could assume from the weaponry this gundam carried, a beam scythe and a buster shield, it was a close-combat unit. Indeed, the XXXG-01D Gundam Deathscythe was a machine designed for stealth missions and silent assassinations. In the hands of fifteen-year old mechanic and thief, Duo Maxwell, Deathscythe was a force to be reckoned with.
Minerva:
Noting that all of the other ships had launched their machines, Captain Gladys opened a communication line with a brown-haired teenage girl named Setsuko Ohara. Despite her age, Setsuko proved to be an excellent pilot as well as a skilled negotiator, despite her self-doubt and shy personality. She was the one who made this alliance between fifteen ships from different dimensions and times possible and now plays the very important role as commander of the newly formed princess-protection squad, code-named Sword and Shield. Her unit was the Balgora (also spelled Virgola), a navy colored machine with a mega-launcher type cannon termed gunnery carver on its back (Super Robot War Z for the PS2, Japan only). "Ohara-taicho, the others have left there respective ships and are entering the atmosphere. Also, we have just detected multiple enemy units entering the atmosphere via warping. As soon as your machine is finished loading, please launch, time is of the essence."
"Understood, Gladys-kancho," answered Setsuko prior to closing the communication line in order to open three other lines to the mobile suits of the Minerva. "Shinn-san, Rey-san, Lunamaria-kun, Heine-san, did all of you get that?" She received confirmations from a white ZGMF-1001/M Blaze ZAKU Phantom piloted by Rey Za Burrel and a maroon ZGMF-1000/A1 Gunner ZAKU Warrior piloted by Lunamaria Hawke in the form of a thumb's up. The third mobile suit, an orange ZGMF-X2000 GOUF Ignited piloted by former team commander Heine Westenfluss nodded its head while the machine's single pink eye focused on the Balgora. However, there was still no answer from the fourth mobile suit of the Minerva, the ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam piloted by the rebellious, raven-haired youth, Shinn Asuka.
"Damnit Shinn, answer her," shouted Lunamaria over the radio. She was a magenta-haired, seventeen year old pilot who wore the Z.A.F.T. (Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty) Red uniform, meaning she was an elite, and her custom painted ZAKU Warrior also boasted her abilities. Unfortunately, Luna (Lunamaria's nickname) was probably the weakest of the pilots on board the Minerva because she was not very skilled in the area of melee combat. What she excelled in was long range attacks/support using heavy weaponry such as the ZAKU's "Orthos" high energy rifle equipped to the Gunner Wizard pack (the Wizard packs are interchangeable equipment produced for Z.A.F.T.'s ZAKU mobile suits).
"Fine, just quit bitching, Luna," responded the ace pilot of the Minerva. Shinn had a reputation for not being easy to work with because of his somewhat rebellious attitude and quick temper. However, Shinn was extremely loyal and always completed his missions with frightening speed, remarkable efficiency, and brutal ferocity. He proved his skills in the battle to break out of the country of Orb by sinking four battleships and two carrier ships along with an Earth Alliance mobile armor and numerous mobile suits (Gundam Seed Destiny episode 12: "Blood in the Water"). "This is Shinn Asuka in Core Splendor, I'm ready to launch, Ohara-taicho," Shinn reported to Setsuko who smiled at him, making the red-eyed teenager blush. From a catapult especially made to launch the parts of the Impulse, Shinn took off, followed by the Chest Flyer, the Leg Flyer, and the Force Silhouette (a support unit made specifically for the Impulse to use in aerial and high speed battles. It's design is based off of the Aile Striker pack developed for the Earth Alliance's Strike Gundam. The Force Silhouette carries two "Vajra" beam sabers for the Impulse to use.). Once the three parts united to become the Impulse Gundam, it was joined by the Balgora and the ZMF-X23S Savior Gundam piloted by Shinn's so called "mentor," Athrun Zala.
"As according to the mission plan, I'm going to join the space forces and attempt to hold off the enemy's main forces. So everyone, be good for Setsuko-taicho, that especially means you, Shinn," instructed Athrun before flying away. After Athrun's little "pep-talk," if one could call it that, the two ZAKUs and the GOUF Ignited took their place in a single Z.A.F.T. descent pod (because of expenses, mass-produced mobile suits are not provided with sufficient armor to enter the atmosphere. Therefore, Z.A.F.T. uses cone-shaped pods that are capable of carrying four mobile suits to get their forces to Earth). Once the descent pod was launched from the Minerva, the Balgora and the Impulse began their descent too.
Battleship, Hiryu Kai:
"Lefina-kancho, it is time for us to descend to Earth," informed the vice-captain of the Hiryu Kai, Sean Welbey, to his superior. The captain of the ship was Lefina Enfield, a surprisingly young, beautiful, and capable commander. She was the youngest officer in the history of the Earth Federation (please note that there are three worlds that have their government known as the Earth Federation: Universal Century—Mobile Suit Gundam, Anno Domini—Gundam 00, and Super Robot Wars Original Generation) to receive command of a ship at the age of nineteen. Although she is shy and relatively soft-spoken, Lefina has the respect of even the most skeptical soldier by her brilliant tactics and willingness to sacrifice herself for the benefit of her subordinates. It was her amazing combat record that earned Lefina the roll of bringing the units that were sent to Earth back to space along with the "package." Her ship was also carrying several units that were important to this part of the mission.
Juuban District of Tokyo, Japan, Earth:
Hotaru Tomoe released a sigh of relief as she exited the doors of Crystal Academy. However, it was also a sigh of frustration. She was about to meet her parents and the other Sailor Senshi at the new coffee shop and she had less than 200 yen in her wallet. She didn't want to borrow money from her parents for the sake of her pride, but she did want to have a cup of coffee, probably a nice flavored roast, with the others. Oh the dilemma. Plus, Hotaru only had one minute before she missed her bus that would take her to the meeting point. Fortunately, she made it to the bus on time, but the bus fee killed what was left of her feeble revenue. She managed to find an unoccupied seat, but offered it to a young mother instead. Hotaru later felt that her action was the right thing to do when the bus came to a sudden halt, making her slam into a man's legs. "What's going on? Why did the bus stop so suddenly," were the questions asked by many confused passengers. "There's a woman standing in the road," answered one of the passengers in the front of the bus.
The woman that was blocking the road was very distinctive by her dark skin, silver hair, dark, revealing attire, strange purple headgear that covered her ears, and a large red jewel on her forehead. However, her appearance was not what bothered Hotaru. When she made her way to the front of the bus to catch a glimpse of this strange woman, she found herself staring directly in the woman's cold, aquamarine eyes. It was at that time that a felling of dread overcame the Senshi of Silence. "Hey, get the fuck out of the road you stupid bitch," shouted an aggravated driver as he honked his car horn. Hotaru wanted to tell the man to keep his mouth shut for his sake, but her words fell on non-existent ears as the woman pulled out a futuristic pistol with amazing speed and shot the man's head clear off his body. In an instant, the strange woman holstered the pistol and materialized a triple-barrel gatling gun aimed directly at the bus.
"Target acquired, proceeding to eliminate," she said coldly, opening fire and killing almost all of the passengers that gathered in the front of the bus, all except Hotaru. The dark-skinned woman continued to fire on the bus and the surrounding cars, causing multiple explosions and fires until her gun was sliced in half. The woman's aqua eyes shifted to the left, focusing on her target, but in a different outfit and wielding a weapon. Hotaru, now furious, pulled her glaive back and swung it at the woman's head. However, her attack was blocked when the woman revealed a blade that extended from her forearm. "As anticipated, the target has become hostile, proceeding to disable the target," the woman stated, forcing Hotaru back. The aggressor proceeded to move closer towards Hotaru, making her glaive useless, and made a clean slash across her chest.
As her instincts instructed, Sailor Saturn jumped back and placed both hands on her glaive. Bleeding and decency be damned if she ended up dead because she focused her attention on them instead of her opponent. "Who are you," Hotaru spat, trying to ignore the pain in her chest. Because she was not thoroughly trained in the art of combat, Hotaru did not realize that by asking her enemy a question, she temporarily dropped her guard, something her enemy took full advantage of. The next thing Hotaru knew, there was a black boot five centimeters from her face and closing fast.
"My name is T-elos, and my mission is to take you back to my commander alive. But that does not mean I have to take you in perfect shape," the android pulled out her pistol and shot at Hotaru's legs, but something indescribable happened in that very moment and the raven-haired senshi was able to predict the path of the bullets, find the best way to avoid them, and counterattack with minimal wasted movement (sound awfully familiar, gundam fans? tip: close to psychic but not exactly). She moved to the left, took three quick steps, and lunged the glaive into T-elos' eye, forcing her to stumble back a few feet then drop to the ground. However, T-elos was back on her feet in less than fifteen seconds and now she was the one wielding the Silent Glaive. "Hmph, you're stronger than you appear, little girl. But that doesn't mean you can defeat me and save all the innocent people who are about to be eaten," the dark-skinned android snapped her fingers and five large, bug-like robots came to her aid. "With a single word, I can get these lovely Megillots (known by humans as "Bugs") to kill everybody in a ten kilometer radius," she threatened.
Hiryu Kai:
"Enemy unit, T-elos, located, proceeding to eliminate," declared an android that served as the prototype for T-elos, KOS-MOS (KOS-MOS mark IV). She appeared similar to T-elos, but had very apparent differences, particularly her light skin, blue hair, red eyes, and her white and blue outfit. The original android made her way to the ship's catapult and placed her hand one of the hatches used for mechanics to go work on the outside of the ship. However, a door like that was only used in space where the vacuum was not as treacherous.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing lady? Do you want to kill yourself," shouted one of the mechanics as he grabbed KOS-MOS by the arm.
The blue-haired woman stared at the man for a few seconds then flung him back against the wall. "If you do not want to die, I suggest you find shelter." She grabbed hold of the door and tore it off its hinges. "It would be beneficial if you could repair this door before the ship returns to space," KOS-MOS advised prior to letting the vacuum suck her out of the ship and let her free-fall to the surface.
Juuban District, Tokyo, Japan—specific location of Hotaru Tomoe unknown:
Hotaru was absolutely furious. Not only was she injured and her opponent was wielding the Silent Glaive against her, but now the enemy took hostages. As much as she hated to admit it, Hotaru lost this fight. Her blood was boiling and her hands longed to crush T-elos' neck, but the thought of that mother and her baby dying because of her rashness made Hotaru stand down. "Damn cowardly bitch," she cursed, spitting on T-elos' face. Unlike her prototype, T-elos did not stand for any insult from an inferior creature and kicked Hotaru in the face again.
"The target is showing signs of resistance, prepare to pacify," sneered the silver-haired android, placing her foot on Sailor Saturn's stomach and snapping her fingers. Upon hearing the sound, one of the Megilots locked on to a target, which happened to be that mother and child Hotaru was so concerned about, and began thrusting its horn at her. Fortunately, the Megilot's attack quickly came to a halt when a large knife shot straight through its head. Following the destruction of one "Bug," several more were destroyed by beam shots. "What the hell," both Hotaru and T-elos said simultaneously.
When Hotaru saw the machine that had intervened in the soon-to-be massacre, her eyes widened and her mouth was agape. It was a humanoid robot with a sort of flight pack.
"Attacking civilians," growled the pilot of the machine over a loud speaker. From what Hotaru could gather by the sound of the pilot's voice, he was young, probably her age, and he was very emotional. "Now you pissed me off! NOW I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU," the flight pack detached, but not before the mech grabbed the two beam sabers mounted on the pack and plummeted to the ground. The Impulse Gundam immediately went to work, slicing one Megilot in half and stabbing another through the face. Unfortunately, those were the only two Bugs that Shinn could destroy before T-elos intervened, shooting one of the beam sabers with her pistol and cutting the other one in half with her arm-blade. "Don't think for a damn second that because you're a woman that I'll show you mercy," roared Shinn, slamming the Impulse's fist into the enemy android. However, T-elos used her superior strength to stop the gundam's punch then grabbed it between the index finger and the middle finger and tore the Impulse's arm in two. "Shit," cursed Shinn, pulling the gundam away from the enemy and pulling out the beam rifle and taking aim. Then, he realized that there was no way to avoid more innocent civilians being killed if he used the rifle, and the time he'd taken to pull out the gun was enough for T-elos to close the distance between them. "Dammit," he cursed again, dropping the rifle and reaching for the other Folding Razor knife in the battle skirt. Fortunately for Shinn, T-elos was forced back by several concentrated energy bursts from above.
"Impulse Gundam, secure the princess and rendezvous with the Hiryu Kai. I will deal with T-elos," instructed KOS-MOS, using the gundam's remaining arm as a landing pad and a runway. Following the arrival of KOS-MOS, Setsuko, Rey, and Lunamaria arrived on the battlefield and engaged the remaining Megilots. However, reinforcements was not a luxury available only to Shinn, for ten more Megilots came to the aid of their comrades along with the more humanoid model, the Habakkuk, aka the Fatman (Super Robot Wars Original Generation).
"Dammit Shinn, do you ever listen to orders? We were supposed to stay in formation," scolded Lunamaria, attacking one of the Bugs with her ZAKU's beam tomahawk. When she received no response from Shinn, Luna got really pissed off, but she managed to keep her cool. "Well, whatever, but when we get back to the Minerva, I am going to beat some answers out of you," the magenta-haired pilot decreed, dispatching another Bug with her ZAKU's spiked shoulder armor.
"Please, Lunamaria, now is not the time to be arguing with Shinn," instructed Setsuko, while she readied her Balgora's Jack Carver (a long blade that extends from the lower part of her heavy cannon, Help Strike) to take on the Habakkuk. "Rey-san, please secure the princess," ordered the brown-haired commander, before she attacked the "Fatman."
"Roger that," responded the pilot of the white Blaze ZAKU Phantom as he locked on to Hotaru and turned his machine to face her. Rey opened his cockpit and moved quickly to where Hotaru was laying. "This isn't good," he muttered, taking note of the amount of blood she lost from her injury. Without any other way to stop the bleeding, Rey quickly removed his helmet, unzipped the top portion of his pilot suit, and took off his undershirt which he used to make a tourniquet. "Stay with me," he told her, gently lifting her into his arms, so he could get her into the safety of his ZAKU.
Because she lost so much blood, Hotaru was constantly on the verge of losing consciousness. Even though she was in a pretty bad condition, she managed to catch a glimpse of Rey as he took off his helmet. What she saw was one of her ideal versions of a man. Scratch that, an angel. He had semi-long, blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. "Please… I don't want to go to heaven yet," she mumbled, placing her hand on the blonde boy's shoulder before passing out.
"Damn," Rey knew he had to get Hotaru medical attention, and he had to get it fast or she might not make it. "Shinn, I'm taking her to the Hiryu Kai, cover me," he instructed to his friend, getting back in the white ZAKU. Without bothering to strap himself in, Rey positioned Hotaru in his lap so that she would not interfere with his ability to operate his mobile suit, and flipped on the power. In an instant, he pressed hard on the booster pedal and pushed hard on the control sticks. "Out of my way," the young Z.A.F.T. pilot yelled at two approaching Megilots and pressed a button on the controls that fired a barrage of miniature missiles from the Blaze Wizard pack.
"Rey, wait a… oh, fuck it," said Shinn, grabbing hold of the Force Silhouette pack by one of the wings and connecting it to the Impulse Gundam. He then removed the gundam's beam rifle from its resting place on the rear of the Impulse and launched into the air. "Luna, I need some cover fire so Rey and I can get the princess to the Hiryu Kai," Shinn requested, not really giving Lunamaria an option.
"Hey guys wa… Damn men," cursed Lunamaria as her ZAKU pulled out the "Orthros" heavy beam rifle from the Wizard pack and relocated to the top of a large building so she could have a clear line of visibility. Setsuko soon joined her and the two ladies began to lay down a frighteningly destructive barrage of fire. This support allowed Rey to get aboard the Hiryu Kai, thus completing the mission.
"Lunamaria, our job is done, so get on board the ship, I'll join you as soon as I pick up KOS-MOS," instructed Setsuko as she directed the Balgora to place the Help Strike back on its hip and pull out a small beam pistol. However, Lunamaria did not let that order go very well and she grabbed the Balgora by the arm before Setsuko could leave.
"No way, sister, I'm not letting you go by yourself. We're a team and I, for one, am not going to let you face that T-elos monster by yourself. You saw what it did to Shinn," Luna scolded. Dammit, what was it that made her comrades so gung-ho today? Was it something they ate, was it in the air, or maybe it was just hormones going berserk? Well, whatever it was, Luna had enough of it. As it turned out, there was a light knock on the hatch of her ZAKU Warrior.
"The enemy unit T-elos has been dealt with. May I enter," asked KOS-MOS, startling Lunamaria and Setsuko with her quiet approach. "I fear that the damage I sustained has made my systems vulnerable to external factors," stated the blue-haired android, practically saying she was afraid of a bird flying into the hole in her chest and messing with her wiring. With a shrug, Luna let KOS-MOS into the ZAKU and she took off for the Hiryu Kai along with Setsuko.
Juuban District, Tokyo, current location of Setsuna Meioh:
As was the situation with Hotaru, the Senshi of Time and the Underworld, Sailor Pluto was having trouble fending off a mechanical opponent. However, this was a seventeen meter, red robot with a rather skinny body, but it was well armed. This machine was AEU-09Y812/A Enact (Gundam 00), customized for the mercenary Ali Al Saachez. "Damn, this guy's from another dimension, no wonder I didn't know he'd come out of no where and attack me. Curse my limitations," growled the green-haired woman as she did what was best in her situation, run like hell. However, she wasn't just running to get away from the robot. Instead, she was looking for a location that would give her the edge in this battle. Unfortunately, places like the one she had envisioned were rare to come by in one of the world's largest cities. "Dead Scream," Setsuna shouted, throwing a dark energy ball at the Enact and blowing off its left hand.
"Bad move lady," said the mercenary, with a sinister smirk on his face. "Now I gotta make you pay for the damage." The Enact fired two missiles from the pods on its legs at the ground ahead of Setsuna and successfully made the target stop dead in her tracks. "Now how should I make you pay? Slavery, sexual favors, or maybe I should just slice off parts of your body," Ali said manically, reaching for her with the Enact's remaining hand.
Fortunately for Setsuna, a rescuer came to her in the form of an orange robot that was slightly taller than the Enact. The new machine had a single eye and was a bit thicker than its opponent, but it had something that gave it the advantage in semi-close combat, a whip. "Sorry to intrude, but I cannot stand by and watch a man in a large robot take advantage of a defenseless woman," announced the pilot as the whip wrapped itself around the Enact's arm. Setsuna let out a sigh of relief that she had support, but was rather agitated about that "defenseless woman" comment. "I suppose I should introduce myself. I am Heine Westenfluss, and I am a member of the F.A.I.T.H. (Fast Acting Integrate Tactical Headquarters) Special Forces." As soon as Heine finished his sentence, a surge of electricity came from the Slayer Whip into the Enact. Ali managed to break free from the Slayer Whip and took to the sky, firing the remaining missiles from the pods on his legs. In return, Heine revealed the four barrel "Draupnir" beam cannon on the left arm of his machine and shot down most of the missiles. "What, do you think this mobile suit is some weak mass-produced crap? Well, I'll tell you right now… This is no ZAKU, boy, no ZAKU!"
Author's commentary:
I'm pretty sure you've noticed that the majority of the machines in this chapter were from Gundam series, with the exception of the Balgora, Megilots, Habakkuk, KOS-MOS, and T-elos. Sorry about that, but I had to get the preparations for Operation White Knight out and there wasn't alot of space for rescue parts other than Hotaru and the beginning of Setsuna. Please, stay with me, because in the next chapter, Big O along with machines from Super Robot Wars OG and Macross Frontier will appear. Till next time, so long.
