Chapter 2-Re-Awaken 00
"Where am I," Yoshika thought as her consciousness came back.
"You are within the Gundam, and it waits for you," came the voice of the ELS.
"So I am inside the robot you had," Yoshika said, her voice echoing.
"Yes, and the one who must decide whether to use it or not, is you." Came the voice of the ELS.
Yoshika looked around and saw that she was floating in a large sphere-like space, and saw the light at the center, and then realized that the decision to use the weapon or not was hers, and she pondered this in her head. She then remembered what she had said earlier, before she became a Strike Witch, that she didn't like fighting, as it only brings pain and suffering, but then remembered when she first helped in defeating a Nueroi, and said how she would fight to protect, others, and then the memory of the four Fuso witches, dying in mere minutes from the Nueroi that the ELS referred to as GN Nueroi, and seeing how her friends were being forced back by the GNN's (GN Nueroi's), and then realized that she wanted to protect them and it pulsed in her mind….
"…..I want to help them,"
"….I want to save them,"
"….I WILL SAVE THEM!"
Then, in a blaze of blue-green particles, the sphere began to shine with light and then when it cleared, she realized that it showed a complete 360 degree view of everything around her in entirely perfect detail, and then she saw in front of her and saw as Barkhorn ran out of ammunition, and then used her gun as a club against the GNN's, and she swung hard at the first ones head, leaving a large dent, but then it swung hard with its beam saber, cutting her gun in half and then charged at her but was distracted by a missile, but the GNN's new armor easily took the impact, and then fired at Sanya, but Eila pushed her away and barely got away, as the beam shot near her arm, burning a part of it and leaving Eila holding her arm in pain as the GNN attacked with its beam saber, and Eila barely dodging the attacks, and then the second GNN attacked with a blast from its beam rifle, and it shot near Eila, burning off a good portion of her hair, and then they began to spread out and using beam fire, the forced all the witches together to finish them all off.
That is when Yoshika decided that enough was enough, and then suddenly an advanced holographic interface appeared in front of her and then she saw as a scanning beam scanned her eyes, and then a Heads-up-display (HUD) appeared and then an electronic voice came, followed by text that appeared on a window at the center of the HUD, which read and said…
SYSTEM ACTIVE, GN DRIVE UNITS_ONLINE
WEAPON SYSTEMS_OPERATIONAL
CONTROL SYSTEMS_FULLY FUNCTIONAL
SAFETY SYSTEM_ERROR-PILOT IS IN UNIFORN INSUFFICIENT FOR PILOTING UNIT
Yoshika stared in shock at the screen and was about yell at the voice when….
ACTIVATE SYSTEM "THREAD FORM", SYSTEM ACTIVE_ALTERING OUTFIT TO CORRECT SPECIFICATIONS
Then Yoshika looked at the floor as a thread of some kind began to immediately wrap around her whole body and then felt as the thread reached every part, rubbing around every part of her and causing her to feel a rather uncomfortable pleasure as the tread went everywhere on her, then the thread disappeared and she realized that she was wearing a type of advanced bodysuit and was wearing a helmet that covered her whole head and she had it disappear into her clothes when she didn't want it, then the voice came again….
PILOT IN CORRECT OUTFIT, SYSTEMS ARE GREEN
ACTIVATION OF FLIGHT SYSTEM READY
BEGINNING LAUNCH OF GN-0000
GUNDAM 00
Yoshika felt the unit activate and felt it move with her and she slowly began to get a feel for the controls, and then she saw as blue-green particles came from the two engines, called GN Drives, and saw that both were balanced out at 83 percent, and then with a burst the blue-green particles flooded out…
Shift
"What is that," said Barkhorn as she stared at the large amount of blue-green particles that came out of the machine that was in the ELS and beginning to move.
"I don't know," said Lynette, who was next to her, "but Yoshika's inside of it and I bet she's making it move."
"Eila, it's so pretty," said Sanya as she say the glowing blue-green particles that swirled out from the machine into a vortex, before the diffused into the surrounding area, creating a beautiful shining and sparkling pattern all over the area.
"Well, I don't think it's that nice," said Eila, but admitting under her breath that it was in fact very pretty.
They then saw the Nueroi charge at it and fired, but the wing-like units on the machines back swung in front of it and a mass of the blue-green particles appeared in front of the machine, and the red beams were suddenly being diffused and pushed away by the glowing particles and then the machine lifted off from the silver craft and the wing structures on its back swung to multiple points, preventing the Nueroi from getting a clean shot.
They could see the whole machine, which was also a humanoid robot, but it had mostly white armor, and the upper torso sported blue armor, and the head unit had two green 'eyes', and they saw that there were large, sword-like devices on the hip and back area, as well as a sword that was folded up on its arm, and guessed they were its weapons.
But what caught their attention were the words they saw, just below a V-shaped structure on top of the units head, and the glowing green letters spelled out what they believe was the unit's name, which Lynette told them.
"Gundam 00"
And they watched as the Nueroi charged at the 00.
Shift
Yoshika moved the unit using the motions of her body while keeping the engines running at high power, and then decided to see if there were any weapons, and after a look through the system she found a GN blade weapon, and then moved the 00's arm and pulled out a large sword from its holder on 00's back, and saw as the particles flowed into it, causing it to glow, and then she saw the GNN's come at her and she swung the blade at one, blocking its beam saber and then saw the other one coming and saw it ready its own beam saber, but Yoshika got out another GN blade and stopped its attack, then she felt herself being pushed backward, and she then forced the engines to full power and in a large pulse of blue-green particles, that were called GN particles, she pushed the enemies away, then she went on the offensive and waited for it to strike with its saber, and it did and she blocked and parried it away, then with a loud scream she swung the other blade…
…and CUT the GNN across the torso, and it fell in two pieces, and then an explosion came from its body, and pinkish smoke that came from the explosions spread as the whole unit completely blew up and the pieces falling in their white fragment form, finally disappearing into the air.
Shift
The four witches who had come looked on as the machine called 00 killed one of the Nueroi with hardly any trouble, and then they saw as a beam came at them and nearly hit Erica and saw that the other Nueroi was firing at them and then another blast caused Lynette to move away from the group and then the Neuroi suddenly put its beam saber away and then with its empty hand, made a fist and with its enormous strength, punched straight through Lynette's shield and slammed its fist into her body, causing her to fly well over a mile before she stopped herself but then saw it in its aircraft form charging at her and readying its beam rifle for another shot…
Shift
Yoshika saw as Lynette was still in the air and the Nueroi preparing its shot, and Miyafuji knew she wouldn't make it in time and realized that Lynette would die and cried out her name, "LYNETTE!"
Then she found the Gundam pointing right arm which carried the folded sword at the Nueroi and saw the hilt area glow, and then she realized what it was and then with the thought in her head she move her finger like she was pulling a trigger…
…..and from the hilt area of the folded sword, a beam of dark pink energy shot out and ripped right through the GNN, killing it instantly and causing it to explode, its glowing white fragments falling into the sea, leaving only some smoke behind, and Yoshika had just realized the power that she had used had saved her friends and then she knew that she had (and did) make the right choice.
Shift
Lynette saw as the remnants of the Nueroi fell into the ocean and saw the 00 come toward her, then a voice came through her comm. unit and realized that it was Yoshika, "This Miyafuji Yoshika, I am inside and piloting the mobile suit, Gundam 00, I managed to take down both of the GN Nueroi," then she said, "Lynette, are you doing okay."
"I'm fine, and thank you Yoshika," said the young girl to her friend.
Then through the radio they heard Sakamoto's alarmed voice, saying that a large wave of Nueroi, consisting of ten large-types and fifty drone-types was heading straight at then, and Yoshika aimed the weapon at a large type that fired a beam at her and she avoided it then decided to charge two of the GN swords with energy, and then use them to cut the Nueroi to pieces, but as they charged she saw the blades shift and then there was an opening above the blade, and then a screen came up on the HUD and told me that my GN Swords doubles as GN Beam rifles, and I aimed both rifles at one of the large type Nueroi and then I fired.
Instead of a straight beam attack, the beams came out in an arrow shaped form, and both flew into the large-type Nueroi and then several explosions ripped through it and it exploded, being destroyed instantly by the attack, and one-tenth of the drones disappeared instantly, but that still left many that opened fire, this time with standard Nueroi beams, but the witches, already exhausted from battling the GNN's where in no real shape to fight and their weakening shields began to disappear.
Then they saw the ELS fly by them, heading for the swarm and then it told Yoshika and the others mentally, "Yoshika, you have chosen to fight using the Gundam, this also means you fight for a purpose greater than any, and as such you will face many challenges, but I also left something out, for I said that should you accept the Gundam, it will become yours, I also forgot to mention that the messenger shall also become yours and fight with you, and now I will fight, and SHOW you the true power of the ELS."
Suddenly the ELS body began to morph into a defined form; its whole body had curves and sharp angles and it had a long 'nose' like structure and its rear area had small, yet sharply angled wings, and from two ling engines on in the rear, rings of purple particles flowed out in a continuous stream, and then in its monotone voice it stated the name of what it was…
….. "GNMA-Y0002V, GADELAZA."
The Gadelaza immediately charges at the Nueroi, who attack with their drones, but all the laser shots just glance of the ships armor, and then two areas on both sides of the craft open up, and then, what look like the ELS version of drone-type units come out, except they are as big as 00, then from these units come smaller units, and by the time the witches finish counting, the amount of drones deployed by the Gadelaza count at 154!
The drones are blade shaped and suddenly pulse with energy, but instead of them firing at the Nueroi like the witches expect them to, the blade ends of the units begin to glow with energy, the blades growing white hot charge at the Nueroi at extreme speed and cut right through them, taking down practically every drone in next to no time as the witches watched the Nueroi drones get cut to pieces instantly, then the drones go for five of the large types, and the ELS-drones rip right into the Nueroi, ripping them apart from the inside as the enter the Nueroi, and the Nueroi start shrieking intensely, sounding like they are in extreme pain, before they are ultimately destroyed when the drones moving inside them hit the cores.
The other four looked like they didn't want anymore and turned to run, but the drones suddenly swarmed them and then they were trapped side by side, all four of the lined up, then the witches see the Gadelaza go to one end of the line turn toward the Nueroi….
…..only for it to change into its second form, where the wings became some type of arms, the back of the unit resembling a humanoid upper half, and the long forward area to be joined to the upper torso by what would be the machines 'hips', and the large front had a large split horizontally down the center of the front.
The witches then saw as it began to charge with the purple energy gathering between the split area and the as it was at its maximum charge, they pretty much figured out what it was.
From the split area, a massive beam of focused, purple energy shot out, and blew clean through the large type Nueroi, completely vaporizing their midsection, and the Nueroi died instantly as the beam hit the water, and erupting in a massive explosion, that caused a massive gout of water to shoot straight up in to the air to about 100 meters, before it finally dissipated, the witches with their mouths wide open, with looks of absolute shock at the very power of the Gadelaza.
Then the Gadelaza flew back toward them, and everyone tensed up a bit from the ELS's power, except Yoshika, who knew that the ELS was on their side, and it appeared in front of them and then, in their minds, it said…
… "Well that was interesting, and would anyone like a ride back," the ELS stated.
Shift
Mio Sakamoto and several of the base personnel had just come out to the runway, along with four other very familiar faces that had arrived to the base on a Ju-52, such as Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke, Perrine-H. Clostermann, Charlotte E. Yeager (otherwise known as Shirley Yeager), and finally was the youngest and most hyperactive of the bunch, Francesca Lucchini.
They all looked at the large, flying, silver ELS that was retaining its Gadelaza, and noticed that only Barkhorn and Hartmann were flying, Barkhorn using Eila's gun, since both of her own weapons had been destroyed, and they saw both Eila and Sanya riding on top of the Gadelaza, their legs dangling over the side as it slowed down and descended to land in the water, and it floated to where everyone was, and sinking itself a bit to allow Eila and Sanya to disembark, as well as to allow ground crews to grab the Strikers without having to climb up its large frame to get the Strikers from the top. This action also further proved that the ELS was not a Nueroi, as Nueroi avoid water like it was a poison.
Then everyone realized that there were shining, blue-green particles hovering around everywhere, and turned to look at the source of the particles, and everyone's eyes went wide as everyone, except for the witches from the fight, saw the 00, and looked in awe as the particles from both engines spread out behind it, curving in a sort of downward pattern, and to those who looked at it, these patterns, made it look like there were giant, angelic wings coming from the 00 as it descended. The 00 finally landed, and they saw it kneel down and from the shining green jewel looking structure in the center emerged Yoshika, who leaps onto the hand and was wearing a blue-white, bodysuit, which appeared to have been made by advanced techniques in weaving and design.
Yoshika looked at everyone and then looked at the sky and smiled, as the sun was shining beautifully, which left great promise for the future.
Shift
The ELS, recorded the battle and through data processing and deep network searches, it found out the identity of the GNN's.
"GN-modified AEU Flag, Advanced version," the ELS concluded.
GN Flag
