THE SEVENTH GUNDAM PILOT: THE JOURNEY OF MISTY
THE REUNION
"I think she is coming to," said a voice and Misty began to stir. She woke to find a pair of violet eyes looking right at her. Getting up with a start she began to run only to fall. "Whoa there baby I did not mean to scare you." He said and Misty began to relax. Then she found herself staring at the crystal around the man's neck. "What are you looking at this," the man said and pointed to the crystal. Misty reached into her shirt and pulled out her crystal and pointed it to the one on the man's neck it suddenly glowed brightly. "Holy shit, Hey Mitch get in here!" called the man and Mitch came into the room, "What," he said and saw the crystals glowing. Eyes growing wide he ran to the woman in front of him. "What the hell is going on?" Mitch said as he glared at the strange woman in front of him. The woman looked very familiar but the only difference is her short hair and lean but muscled frame. Her eyes held mystery as well as warmth and determination. Then out of nowhere the crystal around No Name's neck lifted and became undone. Misty took a step back and let the Reaper recognize the man. Misty spread her wings and both men stood back. "What the hell is she some kind of alien," yelled No Name. The crystal emitted a light to reveal a reaper who came up to no name and caress his skin and circled him. Then as it came it placed itself back around his neck.
Mitch was confused more now for the face around him reminded him of someone he knew from his past. The angel came up to him and wrapped him in a hug. Mitch was stunned as No Name came up to him. "I don't know what is going on but she owes us an explanation." He said and no sooner then he said it then Mitch felt tears falling from the girls face and held him closer. "Whoa there I am not your boyfriend." He said and held her away and when he did one face came to him. "Misty?" she nodded and more tears came to her face. "Misty?" said No Name and Mitch replied, "My older sister the one I told you about that disappeared before Oz attacked," "Oh her," No Name said, "Misty what happened to you and she pulled away from him and pointed to her throat. On her neck was a scar and she tried to tell him with her hands and gestures that she can no longer talk. "Who did this to you," Mitch said pointing to her wings and she recalled them. She pointed to a piece of scrap metal on the wall. "Neo Oz," growled No Name.
Misty tried to explain to them in her own words what had happened so she wrote it down. "Holy shit that explains a lot then does it." Said Mitch, "As for me and No Name here I was lost after my jet crashed after the first strike. I was lost in the desert for weeks till I found No Name on the ground naked. I took him to a nearby base I knew existed and had him examined to find he has amnesia." He said, "And since then we have been fighting this war for five years now. No Name here does not want me to call him anything else till he finds his real name." No Name only smiled, "Yep that is me don't know who I am or where I came from only that Neo Oz has to be stopped." He said and Misty remembered the photos that she has. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out two photos and pointed to the one with the braid. Both men leaned over to look at the pictures. Misty pointed to No Name and then to the one with the braid in the picture. "Me! Are you saying that I am the man in that picture?" he asked and Misty nodded. Then pointed to another picture of Hilde and Amanda and pointed to No Name again and to the picture of Hilde and Amanda. "Are you saying that No Name has a family Misty?" asked Mitch and Misty nodded again. "I have a family?" said No Name and she nodded again. "I don't get it I don't remember any of …." BOOM! Came a sound and the trio jumped up, "What the hell?" said the two in unison. Misty ran out to stare at a mobile doll, "Shit they found us must have tracked us. Running Misty, Mitch and No Name ran further into the hanger. Misty turned and faced the Mobile doll, "What are you doing are you crazy!" yelled Mitch and Misty felt power come up from her raising her hand she called forth a storm. The wind in the room began to shift and grow in intensity and speed. And with a stroke of her hand she let loose a ball of lightning that struck the mobile doll. It was blocked by its energy shield. Spreading her wings Misty leaped up into the air and called forth her other powers. Pulling both hands up she willed with all her strength for the storm to hit harder. She could see Mitch and No Name make a run for one of the planes. Starting it up they boarded and headed out. At this time more mobile dolls came into view. The plane took off without any trouble but the winds where too much to handle.
No Name maneuvered the plane to land away from the dolls when Misty came up behind them and blocked off one of the beam cannons from the dolls. Sending a stronger lightning bolt at the dolls she demolished three of them. But more came after them. Then something caught her eye. It was a folder caught in the wing of the plane making movement impossible.
"Shit something is in the rudder or one of the wing flaps," said No Name and Mitch went to look. To his surprise there was a folder trapped, "Shit there is a folder with your pokemon cards in it." He said and No Name cursed, "Wait what the hell is Misty doing!" he said and No Name turned his head to find Misty retrieving the folder. Having freed the object No Name returned to the controls and pulled up. By doing so he was able to save them. Misty turned to the Mobile dolls and opened the folders. Inside was POKEMON CARD! She thought delighted and landed. The mobile dolls came up to her and began to fire. She blocked the blast and grabbed a card.
"What the hell does she think she is doing?" Mitch cried and No Name turned the plane around to make a pass. To their surprise Misty called the winds to her as she began to summon. Closing her eyes and facing the folder to the dolls. They began to fly out into the wind and take shape of the pokemon they where suppose to display.
The pokemon turned to Misty as she whispered a silent command and they attacked. Taking off again she saw the plane come in towards her. Lining herself up with the plane she grabbed the open door and came onboard. Closing the door behind them Mitch called to No Name who flew the plane out of there. Explosions could be heard behind them.
It was sometime later that they landed in a nearby airport and ditched the plane. The trio made their way to the eating area. "Misty I hate to say this but you need clothes," said Mitch and Misty agreed to his show of brotherly love. "Yea but what about the place I mean how did those mobile dolls find us." He said and looked at Misty and she looked down at her crystal. Taking it off she held it out to No Name who grabbed it out of her hand. The crystals glowed again and Misty took out a drawing and pointed to the Reaper and then to No Name. No Name was stunned so stunned that he fell back and his braid flew up after him. That image is so familiar to me as well as that lady in the photo that Misty showed me earlier does she know my past? No Name asked himself as he got up. Looking at the image of the Reaper again he did find a sense of familiarity. With it all and at the same time a sense of longing. "Hey Misty I was wondering where did you find that picture." And she wrote it down on a napkin with a pen she stolen from the waitress. I got it from a friend of mine, she said and No Name shrugged, "So what do we do now? Now that Neo Oz has found our base we have to leave Montana," asked Mitch and Misty scribbled something on paper and handed it to him. "Where are we going to get the money?" he asked and Misty shrugged, "What does the paper say Mitch?" asked No Name, "She says that we have to help her find the other bearers of the crystals." Replied Mitch, "And how the hell are we going to do that?" said No Name and Misty took back her crystal and pointed to it.
Later that night the trio found themselves in one of the abandoned buildings that was stable enough for them to hide. As soon as they where about to leave the eating room at the airport some soldiers came into the dinning area looking for them. All three crawled out of the airport and left when the soldiers came to look for them and from wondering for a few hours found the abandoned building. Finding a place to say the three made camp and started a fire. Like so many other homeless people around them that lost their homes to this war they shared it with no one. Taking her crystal out as well as the scroll that she took from the Preventers Misty placed the crystal down. "Ok how we find these other crystal bearers?" asked No Name and Misty placed her hands above the crystal and slid her eyes shut. The crystal began to glow and move pointing to the symbol of the Lion and pointed southward still. Opening her eyes she found her next target. "Ok so we head south but where are we going first. Misty then pointed south east towards the plains beyond. Then curled up and fell asleep beside the fire. "She is not one for wasting time," said No Name, "My sister has changed over the years No Name she is not what she use to be." Said Mitch and he too curled up somewhere and fell asleep leaving No Name to ponder on the recent events. This girl is weird and she pointed to a picture of a boy that looks like me he looks exactly like me. Does she know who I really am after all? And what about the woman and her child is that mine. Did I get laid or was I married before I lost my memory. I guess the answers lie with her and her so called quest. Geeze I feel like I know those people yet I am still lost. And without another world No Name also fell asleep with the rest of the gang taking first watch.
Dawn brought Misty out of her slumber as she stretched her muscles out to the world and woke up Mitch. Mitch grumbled at first which made Misty smile remembering the memories that they had together. Slowly Mitch rose up to meet his sister with a smile. She then crawled over to No Name and shook him awake. "Not now Mitch can't you see that I want to sleep in some more it is too early," No Name complained and did not get up. Smirking Misty placed a finger by his but and "OOOOWWWWW!" He screamed which woke Mitch up fully and he began to laugh really loud. No Name rubbed his sore rear and got up, "What was that for?" he grumbled and Misty glared at him as she got up and extinguished the rest of the fire by summoning some water from the air. "You know girl you amaze me with all that magic stuff you do how you do that." No Name said and Misty shrugged her shoulders and began to walk away. Getting up the two men ran to catch up with her.
And so the long journey begins as the trio moved south catching rides when they could. "So where exactly are we going?" Mitch asked and Misty pointed again to her crystal. "Oh I get it that is how you found me," said No Name, Mitch looked confused. "The crystal around our necks acts as a beacon to Misty and she tracks us down with hers." "Oh," said Mitch as they set camp again away from civilization. The journey lasted a long time for they had to hitch hike or steal a vehicle. And at the same time avoid the constant mobile suits that patrolled the areas. They stayed hidden when the mountains turned to desert and the desert turned to mountains again. It was a long journey and they still followed Misty willingly for they had nowhere else to go. So they continued on their journey with Misty. She finally led them to a jungle the Amazon after nearly a month on the road. The humidity was overwhelming and all three found themselves attacked by bugs, hungry and thirsty. Misty set about searching the area for food when she found several mobile suits and a camp nearby. Flying lower she checked her crystal and fond it dead for it did not glow so she knew that the presence of the next bearer was not here.
Flying lower she landed near the river and approached the camp. Looking around she found a tent full of boxes. Coming closer she inspected the boxes and found them full of supplies. Grabbing some she loaded the bag that she carried with her and slipped out of the camp again.
The flight back was an uneventful one as Misty landed back at the camp with the guys. They built their camp in the trees to avoid the bugs and any on the ground troop's sot the main concern is Mobile suits. The trio gladly took advantage of the food and water. Then loading there supplies again they headed back into the jungle unaware that they are being stalked by a pair of cat's eyes.
"Are you sure we are going the right way," complained Mitch and Misty stopped making the other three stop as well. Misty's mind was alert to the menace as well. It was then that she could hear the silent footsteps coming closer and closer. Pulling everyone out of the way she blocked the blow from the jaguar that came from the rear. Throwing it over her head the cat leaped off a tree and charged her. "MISTY!" yelled Mitch as he tried to fire at the cat. Misty using her training leaped into the air and the jaguar missed again. Running after Misty again it tried to get at her. Using stick that she found on the ground Misty swung with all her might. Hitting the cat in the head making it hit a tree. The jaguar then tried to go after Mitch but No Name fought it off. Then without success it tried to go after Misty again but the swift young lady was already on the cat. Holding its jaws away from her throat she rammed her fist into its stomach. The blow was so hard that she made it fly into another tree. Circling the cat with a predatory gait she pounced on it and it ran into the jungle.
The rest of the journey was uneventful with the occasional raids on Oz camps the trio went further and further into the jungle. It was by the second week that Misty's crystal began to glow in the middle of the night waking everyone from their slumber. "Does that mean that the guy is close?" asked No Name who was being eaten alive by leaches. "EK!" he grumbled and slowly began the painful process of pealing them off. And explosion filled there ears as birds began to fly away. "Looks like we got a battle," said Mitch. The trio climbed a tree (Or in Misty's case flew,) and had a look around. Birds where fly away from an explosion in the west. Helicopters tried to get away or where flying towards the explosions whey they too where blown out of the sky. When some of the taller trees cleared they recognized the heads of a few Serpent mobile suits. "What are they doing destroying the rainforest?" said No Name and Misty answered by leaping off the tree and landed in a summersault. "Whoa there goes Jane but where is Tarzan when you need it?" Joked No Name and leaped down and landing on a lower branch followed by Mitch. They took the slower root down and Misty was already waiting for them. Running as fast as there tired legs would carry them they made their way over to the next rise. They tried to remain undetected but that failed when a Leo spotted them and began to rain bullets down on them. Running as fast as they could the trio ran into the jungle with a group of guerillas. Running as fast as her legs could carry her and too tired to fly Misty headed into the trees. She grabbed a gun from one of the running guerillas and fired back at the mobile suit. There where shouts in both Spanish and Portuguese as they ran into the jungle escaping the explosions. Misty lost sight of Mitch and No Name as they got separated. She was then grabbed from behind by a pair of hands one was wrapped in bandages the other was held over her mouth and the body shoved her away from a passing foot. Breathing heavily Misty turned to the figure that saved her. One of his eyes was covered by long bangs the other was glaring at her. He began to speak to her in Spanish demanding an answer when Misty pointed to the scar on her throat and to the Oz troops as they passed. Ducking down out of the way the two made there way into the trees. But was spotted by a passing Aries it fired a few rounds at them and they leaped off the trees. The end was near for the young man when Misty grabbed his good arm and pulled him to her. Spreading her wings she made clear the broken trees and into the sky.
The man was calm yet his eyes held bewilderment at the sight of Misty. She flew higher and higher into the sky and avoided the bullets from the Aries it was hard to maneuver when one arm is holding the man for dear life. Letting go she did the maneuver that she did on Hitomi and back flipped. Diving down to his level he cursed in both languages. Catching him Misty pulled up and held him close to her. Holding him she maneuvered up and over several trees. The Aries and Taurus are where fast but Misty was more maneuverable. She was shot in the wing by one of the tailing bullets and she felt herself in intense pain. Both she and the pilot began to fall towards the ground at unbelievable heights.
No Name was running through the jungle having lost both Mitch and Misty he ran faster not letting the enemy see him. It was then that he saw a figure fly above him at incredible speeds followed by Aries. "Misty," he whispered as he ran in that direction. He climbed a tree and witnesses the catch between Misty and one of the guerillas. He watched as Misty flew higher and faster away till he saw her shot. "MISTY!" No Name shouted. Suddenly his crystal began to glow very brightly. "What the hell?" No Name said and pulled out his necklace. It was then that the jewel floated above his head and the image of the Reaper appeared in its place was a mobile suit. "Holy Shit," he said and climbed down. Running towards the suit a catch line was already waiting for him. Grabbing it No Name was pulled aboard. Climbing into the cockpit the suit came to life and No Name could see the world through the monitors. "Let's see how you assholes like some bullets." He said as he began to maneuver the energy scythe from behind him. Working like a natural pilot No Name felt familiar surroundings in the cockpit. Running as fast as the mobile suit would let him he charged into battle.
Misty crashed into some trees but held on to the banged stranger. She used her free hand to do a summersault through the trees onto the ground. The trees departed to the show all the mobile suits aiming at her. "Freeze we have you don't move." He said and both of them raised there hands in surrender. Suddenly one of them was sliced in half and exploded. "What the hell?" the man said in English and Misty turned to him. Standing over them was another mobile suit, it was shaped differently then the others for one thing it was shaped like a reaper with its energy scythe in hand. It charged the Aries with deadly accuracy. Deathscythe, Misty thought as the mobile suit attacked. The remaining mobile suits tried to attack but none where a match for the new mobile suit, and they retreated. The mobile suit then towered over them and lowered one hand down. The other man backed away but Misty put her hand on his shoulder indicating that the suit means no harm. The banged man felt something familiar about that suit so he boarded the hand along with Misty nursing a wing. Recalling her wings back into her back she found it very painful and will not use them in a while.
No Name watched as he lifted Misty and the man with the bangs by his very hand and began to walk deeper into the jungle and to safety.
The jungles held many secrets but none where more secret then the mountain plateaus to the north of Brazil bordering Brazil and equator. The mobile suit followed the guerillas into the jungle until they came to a place near the Amazon river. Lowering its hand Misty and the banged man got off the suit then disappeared in a cloud of mist leaving behind No Name. Misty ran up to him and hugged him. No Name returned the favor. "God Misty I thought you where a goner till my crystal changed into that thing." He said and fingered the crystal on his neck. Suddenly Misty's crystal glowed and she grabbed it out of her shirt. There was another glow this one orange as the man stared shocked by all this removed the object from his shirt and found it glowing. "I see that we are alike after all." He said in accented English. The trio made there way over to the camp where they met up with Mitch who was nursing a sprained ankle. "Hey man I did not get your name I am called No Name for I have no name." No Name said and the other one smiled, "They call me frog for I can leap like one or jaguar. For I have no name and so they named me after animals because of my acrobatics skills." The banged man said. "That girl over there that can't talk is Misty and that is her step brother Mitch." Said No Name and Jaguar smiled, "I thank you Misty for saving me that is are you an angel?" he asked and Misty shook her head.
"My men and I have been fighting Neo Oz ever since they invaded the jungles. At the moment they are destroying it to find us and if this keeps up there will be no more jungle left to protect." Said Jaguar explaining his situation to the new comers as he replaced a bandage. Misty came up to him and offered her hand. Confused by this he did as well and she grabbed his injured arm and caused him to wince. Misty examined the arm and snapped it again causing the man to scream. All the other men grabbed their guns and pointed it to them. Ignoring them Misty began to work on setting the bone right. The man held back a shout as Misty stared at the arm not letting go. She made a splint first then concentrated on the break. In her eyes she began the mend of the bone. Then the tissue around it till it was straight again. Satisfied she turned to find guns pointing at her face. Jaguar moved his hand and arm and was surprised that they did not hurt at all. Looking up he found his men holding the new comers at bay. "Release them," he said in Spanish and they released them. "But they hurt you sir," said one of the men, "She did not all she did was fix my arm see." He said and raised it around for all to see. They where amazed by the handy work that Misty did. Lowering their weapons they moved back to their spots.
