Ch 3: The Pilots First Battle
Production speed of mobile suits tripled since Oz forces landed on Earth. They have made no other attacks yet, they are just biding their time.
The new pilots are relaxing in the mansion when all of the sudden word comes in of a fleet of about 20 Oz suits. This is the first challenge the pilots will face.
They intercept them as they are entering the atmosphere.
"Stop where you are!" commands Dave.
"Who's going to stop us?" mocked a voice.
"It need not matter who we are, but if you don't stop we will kill you," replied Jim.
"Ha!" laughed the voice, "7 versus 23. You stand very little chance."
"We need to be careful," said Alex, "we don't have a lot of battle practice."
They fought well but the lack of battle experience was obvious. Rochelle's bullets were missing all targets, Catherine wasn't quick enough to dodge anything, and Jay was too worried about his sister to land anything, Dave, Alex, Jim, and Jake couldn't hit them either.
"We must concentrate," said Jake.
"And we must work together to win," added Dave.
Just then Catherine was shot from the sky.
"Cathy!" screamed Jay as he dove to try to save her.
While they were gawking at the falling pilots they were attacked from behind. This knocked Jim out. The remaining pilots then went on the attack. This was a failure, although they took out 4 suits, Jake was injured and Rochelle ran out of ammo. This left Alex and Dave to fend off 19 suits, but soon it would only be Dave because Alex was running out of stamina fast.
Something then clicked in his mind. "I'm all alone. It is up to me to stop them," he thought. "Fight 'til the death," he said aloud to everyone.
He was then attacked from all sides, but the thought of death in his mind made him move faster, but he was still getting hit. But all he thought was I must take as many as I can with me. He took out 5 suits but it was starting to look very bad for him. Then all of the sudden a troop of suits from the Earth came to assist the Gundams. They quickly took out the remaining suits. Then the Gundam pilots went back to the house.
"Hurry children come in," said Relena, "Alan will fix your suits."
"Well this loss will provide useful information," said Alan.
"How?" said Rochelle.
"Now we know what to work on, speed, weapons, and so on."
"You wanted to see me sir," said a woman to Alan.
"Yes. I would like to introduce you all to my assistant Georgette, but she prefers to be called Spunky. Come Spunky, we have a lot of work to do."
