Gundam: ReCentury

Episode 2: Danger, Colony under attack.

"Allright Brad," Max said, "How did you do that?" Brad looked at him confused, "I don't know, It was like I've done it before, It came naturally." They reached the Captain, "Sir," Max said, "I brought a candidate, Brad Aether, he scored 1350. I only got a-" he was cut off by the commander's hand. The man was tall and had a salt and pepper beard. He wore the traditional khaki uniform of the Colonial Army. "I'll take it from here, resume Lieutenant Max." The Commander said. Max saluted and then walked back towards the school. "So, Brad, how do you feel about all of this?" Brad Shrugged, "I don't know what to say sir. I feel good knowing that I can help my colony when the time comes." Brad felt something tug at his mind as he suddenly jerked his head towards the Artificial Sky. "What is it Brad?" The Commander asked, "Nothing," Brad replied, "I just thought I heard something." The commander looked a little more quizzically. "Brad, come with me, your Mother has already been notified of your enlistment." Brad looked at the Commander worried, "Was she okay with it?" Brad asked. "Oh yes," said the commander, "she was worried though, but I gave her my honor as Commander Allen. By the way, would you like to see the ship you'll be on?" Brad looked excited, "yes sir!" The Commander Chuckled, "alright then, hop inside my car, Lieutenant Aether." They both jumped into a hummer and drove off, about 20 miles away they stopped at a huge ship. "This is the pride and joy of the Colonial Fleet, the Canyon. This is where you'll be living for a while. The ship is currently loading some Mobile Suits in right now. We are to rejoin the fleet after loading the suits. We also have a couple of experimental suits on board." Suddenly in midspeech the commander was cut off by Max who arrived in a speeding hummer, "Sir, the colony is under attack, enemy units are attacking the city, also we have another candidate, Logan Melton." The commander jumped out of his car quickly. "Get to the suits quickly, you two too." He said pointing at Brad and Logan. They both ran to the nearest suit they could find, and Max got into his own Mobile suit as well. "You shouldn't even be here Brad," Logan said, "I'm the better of us, I bet I can even get there first." Brad simply ignored Logan as he started up his mobile suit. He was piloting a Jegan Kai, Max piloted a Stark Jegan, Logan piloted an odd mobile suit though. It appeared to be a black, red, and blue colored shining gundam with a beam sniper rifle. The commander then showed up piloting a GM Striker. "what are you all waiting for, let's move!" Commander Allen yelled. The mobile suits boosted off towards the city, the two in front were the Jegan kai and the odd shining gundam. A voice came over the radio, "Logan, be careful with that suit, It's our new prototype, the Eclipse Gundam." Logan replied with "I'll be careful." The four arrived at the city and there were 25 Geara Dogas releasing beams into the buildings. The first few didn't see anything coming as the four quickly dispatched them, the commander sliced through two with his double bladed beam spear, then went for a third one with his spike shield. Max Shot a bazooka into a group of 5 badly damaging three and destroying two of them. Logan grabbed two of them and crushed their heads, he then pulled out his beam sabers and slicing them down the middle. Brad had launched his Needle Shot pack destroying one of the Geara Dogas and then shot two more through the cockpit with his beam rifle. The remaining 15 turned and began firing at them, and the battle truly began. The four jumped in and out of cover trying to get a clear shot, Logan stood behind and sniped. One, two, three more down. The commander, despite how old he looked, was actually doing pretty well even though his suit could only shoot with an old machine gun. One of the 12 remaining Geara Doga shot a Strum Faust at Brad's cockpit and we he backed away from the shot it went straight for the residential area of the Colony. Luckily it had been evacuated a few minutes ago, but Brad didn't know that. After seeing the destruction caused to the people he love, he went into a state of rage, he burst from his hiding spot and dodged beams, the shots whizzed past him. He shot a couple of the geara dogas right through the cockpit until he got up close to the remaining 10. Max shot a shot at two of the Geara Dogas and the commander went to get in close. Logan couldn't get a good shot at the moment. The Geara Dogas all had the same idea, they pulled out their beam sword-axes and went after Brad. Brad could see their moves coming easily and pulled out his own beam saber. He slashed through three of them quickly and trip kicked another two and stabbed into their cockpits letting their suits explode at his feet. The Geara Dogas backed up, as if they could see his anger. He boosted forward and grabbed one in the chest and crushed it with his Jegan's hand. The other two began to run for the fake mountains and forest. "I'll get them." Logan said as he boosted off towards them. Brad sat there breathing heavily in his suit's cockpit. "Brad! Brad!" The commander's voice came over the communication's system. "Y-yeah. Yes sir." Brad said looking at the screen in front of him. The commander's GM Striker was looking right at him. "Let's get going back to the Canyon, the longer we stay the worse things will get for them here." Commander Allen's Striker began heading back for the ship, "Go get Logan and tell him to get a move on, I need to talk to you when we get back to the ship." Max followed Cmdr. Allen back to the ship.

Meanwhile, Logan had chased down the Geara Dogas. He had one grasped in his hand, and a pulse of black heat caused the suit to explode from the inside. "One down." He said as the other Geara Doga went to shoot him with a beam. He dodged it easily and boosted forward grabbing this one in the cockpit. "It's over for you." Logan said as his suit's hand shot a pulse through the suit causing a fist shaped hole. He turned to leave but something tugged at him to turn around. He did so and narrowly dodged a beam saber. "You're good." The pilot of the new suit said. "Maybe good enough to be part of my own army." He said as he swept with the beam saber. Logan barley dodged it again. He backed up and took a good look at the suit. It too was odd. It had the body of the Burning Gundam, the color scheme of the Master Gundam, and the wings of the Master Gundam. "I saw how you tried to prove yourself." The pilot said to Logan. "I can help you. Let us talk face to face." Logan sent a video chat to the Pilot, "why would I want to do that for a guy that just tried to kill me?" Logan said. The pilot could now be seen. He was wearing a red regal outfit with a metal mask covering the top half of his face. He also had long dirty brown hair that almost reached his eyebrow. "Join me, and I'll make sure you get all of the recognition you deserve. Fame and fortune my friend, fame and fortune." Logan thought about it, "this is a stupid war, why am I even fighting in it?" He said to himself. "To prove yourself superior, it is the way of the warrior." The Pilot said, "those that wish to prove themselves do it in the most poetic and bloody way possible. War. You could be one of the great ones, easily surpass others." Logan thought about it for a moment, thinking about how he had always been considered second fiddle to Brad, how he had always been better, and how he despised him from the first day they met. "alright mysterious masked pilot. You've got yourself a deal." Logan said finally. Brad arrived and saw the two Suits disappear in a cloud of smoke let out by the Wings of the odd Burning Gundam. "Logan! Crud!" Brad said. "sir, he's gone. He left with the suit." Brad said through the communications. "what does he think he's doing?" Cmdr. Allen said, "return to the ship we leave ASAP, we'll be making modifications to that Jegan you picked too.

Next time, The Canyon begins take off and the crew get to meet eachother, but there meeting is cut short when they are attacked by more enemies. Next time on Gundam ReCentury: Episode 3 Blast into Space.
