1 Chapter II, Arrival of the Crimson Star

And so time would pass on for about a week. Soon suprises became fewer and fewer. Yet Quatre still hadn't returned. The others wondered where he was, until a glimmer of his ship could be seen, yet at that moment another swarm of R Type Victim appeared, as if knowing it to be an inopportune time.

"Scramble, Scramble, all Candidates to your Pro Ings, Priority One is the stopping of Victim, Priority Two is to recover the transport vessel." The intercom boomed all over GOA. Since they were still new, Tenchi and the rest of them had no repairer or Pro Ing, so they were forced to watch, joined shortly by Jim and Gene.

"Man this stinks. Why can't we just go out there?" Dou asked out loud.

"Because we don't have repairers." Trowa said.

"Stupid onnas, if it weren't for them we'd be out there fighting for justice." Wu Fei said in typical style.

"What's that?" Gene asked,as Jim pulled out some high-zoom binoculars.

Heero grabbed them, and put them to his eyes. Looking into the swarm, he saw a very familiar shape coming out of the ship. "It looks like the Sandrock." He said in monotone.

The Goddesses had already been sent out, as Erts began searching for the Victim Leader, he noticed Quatre's customized mech.

"Who do you think you are?" Rioroute's voice boomed over the communicator.

"What, can't I help too? You woln't stop me even if you say I can't, so don't worry about me." Quatre's voice replied, his new Sandrock accelerating into the pack of Victim. It quickly pulled out a pair of Heat Shotals and began to slice the Victims in two.

"I said to go back, damn it." Rioroute said, launching Augei Keimeir's shields.

"So the new candidate from another dimension's returned with a nice new toy?" Azuma said.

"It's not just a toy!" Quatre replied, launching his cross-crusher at another pack as Tellia Kallisto began slashing about and Eva Reena powered up it's #3 gun.

At that moment, all Augei Keimiers shields were broken, and the swarms of Victim took no time in incapacitating all the Goddesses and the newly built Sandrock.

From the ship's observation deck, with the other Gundam pilots, Tench stepped forward. "I can't just let them die out there!" He said, as Ryoko and Ayeka entered the room.

"Then go, Lord Tenchi." Ayeka said in his support.

"Yeha, let's go help them Tenchi. You can still summon the Lighthawk Wings, right?" Ryoko asked, transforming into her battle outfit, as did Ayeka.

"We're about to find out." Tenchi said, placing his hands out in front of him as light transformed into three blades, reforming into brilliant Juraian armor and a blade of odd design.

Tenchi, Ryoko, and Ayeka jumped into the air and teleported outside of GOA. Propeled by the Lighthawk Wings, they came to the now clustered mechs.

Tenchi expanded the field of protection, and Ayeka began healing all the wounded pilots. Ryoko started picking off the Victims one by one, with energy pulses.

Tenchi was showing the strain. His breaths became shallow, and far apart. "Hurry up!" He panted.

Soon all the Ingrids and Quatre were back on their feet, and Tenchi reduced the field as Riorout's took over.

"I've found him…" Quatre said. His hair began to glow as he continued, "NOW FEEL THE PAIN YOU'VE CAUSED EVERYONE!" He yelled, and a horrible shriek was let out. The Victim leader was squirming in pain, and was quickly dispatched by Ernn Laties.

As soon as the battle was finished, GIS picked up the Ingrids and Quatre returned his ship to the dock of GOA and was greeted by the Masaki's, and the other pilots, not to mention a very angry Azuma.

"What did you think you were doing 84?" Azuma asked, grabbing him and tossing him, not noticing the faint traces of an EX reaction still going on. Suddenly the Instructor began to cower in fear or things that weren't there.

"Empath? How appropriate." Heero said, watching as a large carge of a dull material came off the ship along with the basic frames of mobile suits.

"I found all the materials needed to create psuedo-Gundanium-it'll work better than those Pro Ings. I've set up the basic fames, but you'll have to do the rest." Quatre said, brushing himself off.



Things at GOA were becoming like home for the visitors from another dimension by now. The Gundams had been rebuilt to the best of their abilities, and research on what brought them here was progressing.

"Hey Jim," Gene said, as the two were hanging out in the Relaxation Room, "do you miss Melfina, and Sazuka and," he said.

"Aisha? Yeha….I miss them all. If only there was a way to bring them here. I wonder what they think has happened…" He asked.



"ATTENTION! All members of GOA, this is an alert. A strange craft is approaching, all candidates stand by on your Pro Ings," the announcment began, Azuma taking over, "And Gundam Pilots stay where you are."

"Man that guy gets on my nerves." Duo said, looking around the room.

Heero was pulling on his space suit.

"What are you doing? That ass told us to stay put." Duo asked.

"And your letting that stop you?" Heero replied, tossing Duo his spacesuit. As soon as they were both equipped, Heero frightened Duo with a quick punch, grabbing his arm. He knew the fear would induce Duo's EX, and spread it to himself. Thus they both made their way to the docking bay where they encountered the other three.



Azuma looked on the moniters, and noticed something that made him twitch. "The Gundams are launching? Damn, I told them to stay put!" he said.

Onboard the mysterious red ship, only three people were piloting it. One was a cat woman, the other robed in a kimono, the third naked in a tube.

Soon the red craft and the five Gundams met in space.

"This is the Outlaw Star, we're looking for Gene Starwind and Jim Hawking." Aisha's voice said.

"Hey, didn't Gene talk about his ship?" Quatre asked.

"Yes, I remember and this fits the description," Trowa replied.

The Gundams led the Outlaw Star back to GOA, and were greeted by a welcoming party of about eighty security officers, Tenchi, Ryoko, Ayeka, and Gene and Jim. As the three women emerged from the ship, Jim seemed to go exstatic.

A security guard, trigger happy, opened fire on the three. Aisha jumped high up and landed on the floor with a thud, Suzuka the same but with more grace, but Melfina was hit. Seeing this drove Gene to instant berserk point, loading his blaster with a caster shell, he aimed at the guard. "HOW DARE YOU STRIKE MELFINA!" He roared, as Heero and Wu Fei held him back so he couldn't fire.
