Gundam Wing AU
Heero, Distracted by Defeat
"The latest plan involves transporting the Tauruses to the Siberian Base to install our new mobility system." Said Colonel Une as she looked over her subordinates.
"A new system?" Whispered Noin. "I hadn't heard of it."
"Our lack of confidence in the facilities and security at the Lake Victoria base has led to this transfer." Noin growled at Une's words. "The Tauruses will be transported across the Arabian Peninsula under the heavy guard of our African branch. We'll take over the transfer there. So far there haven't been any real threats... but we've considered everything. We've already announced a false transport plan. We won't let the enemies have it their way this time"
"Enemies...?" Asked a soldier.
"The Gundams...?" Asked another.
"The Gundams have attacked practically all of OZ's operations. This should be another attractive target for them. But as long as I'm in charge, I'll prevent such interference!"
"If they're going to Siberia they can pass through OZ's protected areas." Said Zechs. "So the Gundams won't be able to attack."
"No, we want them to come. I consider annihilating the Gundams a big part of this plan. Our losses up until now were because cowardly soldiers were too slow compiling their data. But this time OZ is serious. I'd like to give an example of how to eradicate the Gundams. It might not come to much use, but let me provide you with some background."
Heero sat in the darkness of his room typing at his computer, searching for anything he could use to attack OZ with. Then suddenly words started to scroll up the screen with a claw in the background. The words then stopped.
"Dr.J!" Said Heero. Then on the screen appeared the old man with glasses and white hair.
"We'll refer to the unit that fell over the Pacific Ocean as Gundam 01. Most remarkable is its mobility as an aircraft. We'll lure it to an Aries air zone and shoot it down. Without its wings, we can overcome it in a long battle. Next, the Gundam 02."
"The Taurus is a problem." Said Dr. J as a picture of a Taurus came onto the screen. "It has the ability to learn from accumulated battle data. I wanna trust OZ's control system, but it's possible the machine will ignore the pilot's commands and act alone. If the command to kill overrides the pilot the consequences could be significant. Destroy it; otherwise it'll be a menace to mankind." Then the screen knocked itself off leaving Heero in darkness.
"Mission accepted." Said Heero. Then the door to Heero's room opened letting light entre the room. "Who's there?!" Heero called turning to the door.
At the door stood Duo. "I've come to say good-bye! I have a bad feeling about this." Duo pushed the door wide open and leaned on the door frame. "OZ's transport plan is good. They'll be taking two routes; by air and land." Duo folded her arms. "Heero, could you take the air route? I'll fight them on the ground." Duo then turned to leave. "We'll lose unless we have our own plan, this time."
Heero walked up to Duo and leaned in on her. Duo's cheeks tinted red as Heero kissed her. Heero then leaned into her ear and whispered. "You're not unpredictable, Duo." And then Heero walked back to his room leaving Duo to blush.
"02's features allow it to remain unnoticed. It specializes in close combat. It is important to make 03 uses up all of its firepower at an early stage. This is true for all of them... but not one mobile suit excels in organised battle."
Deep in the forest stood a truck holding a mobile suit. The mobile suit was covered by a cloth; so as to disguise itself as a cargo. The cockpit to the mobile suit was open and in there stood Trowa. Trowa stood on the seat resting against one of the monitors, with a keypad in his hands typing in the information to figure out where the transport of the real cargo was going to be.
"There's no choice but to attack while they're transporting." Said Trowa as he typed in a plan to do through to the monitor. "Even with such basic tactics if they can trick us our fighting power will be dispersed." Trowa looked up at the monitor. "By air?"
At the edge of the Arabian Desert rested the Maguanac ready to move out into battle. Each one loaded and suited with their highest high tech weapons. Sandrock stood in front of them along with Rashid's mobile suit.
"We'll take the land!" Said Quatre to the Maguanac's, showing the plan. "They might come by air. If we hit their land transport early we can tell everyone whish one's the decoy!"
"You think the other Gundams will come?" Asked Rashid.
"We can't win by ourselves." Quatre said softly to Rashid. "But I'm positive the other will come."
In the large mountain lands of China stood Shenlong. Shenlong was telegramming the mission details to Wufei. Wufei stood on a large rock listening to the signal while watching Shenlong. The signal stopped and Wufei looked up at the face of his Gundam.
"I'm no longer able to fight in my current state." Said Wufei and bowed his head. "Denounce me, Nataku."
"04 is also a close-range battle type... but we believe its battle range is broader than 02. Avoid direct combat with 05. Barrage until it's destroyed. Be extremely cautious of the firepower in its left arm. That concludes my briefing. Gather the troops of the respective bases along this route to standby."
"Yes, ma'am!" Called all the soldiers.
"Colonel Zechs, I was hoping you'd take on the task of fighting 01 with the Tallgeese, one on one." Said Colonel Une. "What do you think?"
"You can't expect him to go alone!" Called out Noin. "I'll back him up."
"But Noin..." Zechs protested.
"There are still some Aries left in the Lake Victoria base." Noin explained turning to Zechs. "I request orders to lead the Aries to battle."
"I'm appointing you to the headquarters." Said Colonel Une.
"But why?" Asked Noin not understanding the Colonel's decision.
"You'll be assisting me." Colonel Une explained to Noin. "Any problems with that?"
"No..." Noin spoke.
"Colonel Zechs previously received a serious blow at the hands of 01." Explained Colonel Une. "Now that he had the Tallgeese this would be the perfect opportunity to get his revenge."
"Convenient." Whispered Noin. "If he loses it all becomes Zechs' fault."
"Noin, it suits me fine." Zechs said casually. "I was hoping you'd be stationed at the headquarters."
"Zechs?" Asked Noin not understanding what Zechs was trying to say.
"When we fight we'll need quick, accurate information. I'll need your support." Zechs explained.
"Sir!" Noin stood to attention. "Count on me!"
"Commence operations!" Yelled Colonel Une.
Relena walked along the school grounds and was meat by three girls, in the schools uniform. "Relena." One of them called.
"Good morning." Said Relena.
"Relena, something awful happened!" Exclaimed one of them.
"Heero has changed schools, right?" Asked Relena.
"You already knew about it?" Asked the girl a little surprised at the blonds awareness.
"We hadn't even become friends with Heero and Duo yet." Softly and sadly said one of the other girls.
"Off to fight again, Heero?" Relena whispered. Relena closed her eyes. "Well, I'm headed for my own battleground."
The battle began as the Maguanac's attacked from a safe position behind boulders from enemy suits. The Aries weren't standing a chance against the Maguanac's. Rashid then spotted the train that was transporting the Tauruses.
"There's our target, Master Quatre!" Rashid warned Quatre over the com link.
Sandrock fired its two missiles at the opposing mobile suit Leo's. Sandrock then sliced in half another Leo with its Heat Shotels.
Quatre looked through her goggles at her enemies transport and security systems. "No mistaking this security!" She spoke confidently. "It's this route!"
Sandrock walked over to the tracks and raised its Shotels above its head. However the train had its own weapon system and fired two shots at Sandrock. The shots hit Sandrock's back causing Quatre to scream as Sandrock went crashing onto the tracks. Quatre cried out in pain as Sandrock's cockpit rattle furiously. Suddenly a horn was heard and light reflected through the monitor at Quatre. Quatre looked up and saw the train was not that far away from her. Too Late! No time to get Sandrock out of the way!
Then Deathscythe came and grabbed a hold of the train. "You wish!" Duo called out. Deathscythe then started to pull the train off the tracks. The train then tipped over to the side and went crashing into the ground causing scrap metal, rock and dust to go everywhere.
Quatre closed her eyes as she prayed Allah that Duo was alright after that. Then Quatre saw Deathscythe rise from the rubble and push a piece of rubble out of the way so both mobile suits could see each other.
"Hey, are you okay?!" Duo asked sounding worried about the young blond.
Sandrock rose from the ground and turned to face Deathscythe. "I'm fine." Said Quatre a little shaken up. "Glad you came."
"Sure." Said Duo. "But this route's the decoy." Duo explained.
"What?!" Asked Quatre softly, not understand. If this was the decoy why on earth would they have this much security?! It made no sense... Unless this was to get a Gundam while the other carrier got to the destination point as well... Hit two birds with one stone either way they did it.
Then suddenly the carriers of the train started to open and out of them popped Leo mobile suits. The Leo suits had Sandrock and Deathscythe surrounded.
A high speed carrier started to get shot at by mobile suit Aries. Then the roof of the carrier flew off and out of the smoke that it had left rose Heavyarms. The carrier was then shot and caused a small explosion. Heavyarms shot out of the carrier and used the jet propulsion pack in its back to fly into the air and fire at the Aries.
Heavyarms then flew to the ground attacking the tanks that were firing at it. Destroying them completely. Heavyarms then skidded on the ground before standing up and firing at the Leo mobile suits that were defending the fuelling point of the Taurus suit carriers.
Leo suits started to attack Wing Gundam, knocking it off balance and sending it into a nose dive on the ground. While skidding on the ground Wing transformed from bird mode into fighter mode. Wing then stood up and was knocked over by a blast, however on the fall Wing used its Beam Riffle to attack back destroying a hand full of Leo's.
Then the monitor flashed red and a beeping sound rang in Heero's ears. Heero looked at the monitor and saw a mobile suit coming its way. "That an Aries?" He asked himself. "No it's bigger... Data checked. No match to the latest OZ weapons?!" Heero then pointed the Buster Riffle at the mysterious mobile suit.
Just as the mobile suit got in range in the headed for the sky, while the Beam Riffle's blast when forward.
"What speed?" Said Heero as he watched the mobile suit fly into the sky.
The Tallgeese then aimed for Wing. It pointed the gun and fired a few shots. Wing held its ground as the blasts hit the ground around it.
"That's enough, Gundam 01." Said Zechs as he landed Tallgeese on the ground a few yards away from Wing. "We have no need for beam rifles or cannons between us."
Then Tallgeese' cannon dropped to the ground and then pulled out a Beam Sabre. "We'll fight for recondition of superiority!" Yelled Zechs. "I'm sure that'll suit you! You ARE a Gundam Pilot.
Wing dropped its beam rifle and pull out its beam sabre. Both mobile suits stood ready to battle to the death.
Heavyarms launched its missiles at the base causing many explosions and fires to start as smoke rose into the dark night. Trowa then looked to see the mobiles suits ready to battle. "There's the flight type." He said turning Heavyarms towards the battle. "Is that a new OZ model?"
Tallgeese took a swipe at Wing however the Buster shield blocked the attack. Tallgeese tried again causing Wing to draw back slightly. Wing then tried to swipe at Tallgeese however Tallgeese intercepted to beam sabre with its own. Tallgeese then went to slice Wing at the waist however Wing flew backwards a few yards and landed in a fighting stance.
"I believe I've won this battle!" Said Zechs smirking. "I feel no fear whatsoever! I can defeat you without taking Tallgeese to its full limit!"
"Prototype Leo!" Heero said as the layout of the Tallgeese was displayed in front of him. "So OZ has completed them! It won't be easy, but I'll destroy it!"
Heavyarms took in the data of the mobile suit facing the flight type Gundam. He had watched how the duel had began and would not stick around to see it end. "My mission's to destroy the Taurus." He said. "I'm checking out!" [1]
"Half the land route Leo troops has been defeated..." Said a soldier. "By 02 and 04."
"01 is battling the Tallgeese." Said another soldier. "But 03 is headed for the supply base."
"Who would've guessed Gundams had this much power?" Said Colonel Une starting to doubt her own strategy.
"The Taurus carriers are on standby for emergency take off!" Explained Noin. "I'll give the 'okay'."
"I didn't approve that!" Said Colonel Une confidently. "My strategies never fail. Get Space Fortress Barge on line!" She called as she walked over to the main computer.
"A Space Fortress...?" Asked Noin in a whisper. Why would you want a Space weapon if your fighting on the earth. Fair enough if it was to show a satellite reading of an area, but they already had that, there would be no need for it... So why?
The blackened screen turned on. "Colonel Une; positioning is complete." Said a soldier on screen.
"Good!" Said Colonel Une, before turning back to the people in the room with her. She then raised a microphone to her lips and started to speak.
"Calling all Gundam Pilots. We're ready to stage an all-out missile attack on the colonies! We've seized all missile satellites from the Alliance. Now we truly control the destiny of all colonies! This isn't a bluff. I demand all pilots to surrender at once and hand over your Gundams!"
Quatre took off her goggles. "They've targeted the colonies!" She cried out in panic.
"Hand over our Gundams?!" Asked Duo. Both girls had sweat running down their brows. Either way they had no choice. If they keep on battling the thing they are protecting will be destroyed, but if they surrender then all hope for freeing the colonies and bringing peace is over. Not to mention they will be tortured and most likely killed.
"Sound like OZ's tricks." Said Trowa over the com link to the girls.
"Hell of a time for tasteless tactics!" Zechs scowled at the Colonel in charge. However Wing continued to attack Tallgeese. "You guys can't fight, can you?!" Zechs taunted them. Wing then tackled Tallgeese and then sliced off the left arm. "I can't fight either! Noin! Get me Lady Une!"
"The Gundams have stopped, but they aren't surrendering." Explained a soldier.
"Launch a missile!" Snapped Une. "I don't care where!"
Then on one of the small screens came Zechs. "Colonel!" He spoke seeming not too pleased. "Get a grip on yourself!"
"I know exactly what I'm doing!" She snapped at him. "That isn't what His Excellency wants!" He referred to Treize.
"I'm merely fulfilling His Excellency's ideal!" Colonel Une retorted.
"You clearly don't understand His Excellency!" Exclaimed Zech losing his patience with the woman.
Then Colonel Une turned off the transmission with Zechs and screamed at the screen. "You're the one that doesn't understand him, Zechs!"
"No, it's you." Said Noin standing behind Colonel Une, trying to speak reasonably with her. "Colonel Une. The objective is to eliminate the rebels. His Excellency doesn't want battles that involve civilians."
Colonel Une then spun around and slapped Noin in the face, causing a red mark to appear on Noin's cheek. Noin did not however scream at the slap even though it rang through then entire room. Noin then stood up and glared at Colonel Une.
"The colonies can be flattened with the most minute of attacks." Explained Colonel Une. "They're insignificant worlds for the pathetic. What about the rebels?! I'll sweep them all away with this single command! Launch missiles!!!"
"No, don't!!" Pleaded Noin trying to stop the missile launch from hurting innocent lives.
Suddenly the screens became blank and then an old man appeared on the screens. Everyone in the Base was confused at what was going on.
"Attention OZ. I never imagined you people could be so foolish. The Space Colonies have no intention of fighting OZ. This is MY personal battle I'm staging against you!"
"Who's he?" Asked Zechs as he listened to the man speak about OZ.
"Dr.J..." Whispered Heero
"So the rebel's finally showing his face!" Said Colonel Une walking over to the screens.
"Transmission is on a regular line from outer space." Commented a soldier.
"Transmission origin is Colony C-1013." Said another soldier.
"Who's this guy?" Asked Duo confused.
"The person who's been sending orders!" Explained Quatre. "To one of us five Gundams.
"To you, inhumane moves like colony assaults are justified... If that's what it takes for you to come out Victorious. I have no choice but to surrender."
"Very well!" Said Colonel Une. "Your surrender's accepted. Abandon your Gundams immediately!"
Then the cockpit of Wing opened and out of it stepped Heero. Zechs looked at the young boy in awe and in petty. "A kid. The pilot of a Gundam is a little boy?!" Asked Zechs.
"I surrender. But I will not hand over the Gundams. I repeat. I surrender, but I will not hand over the Gundam."
"Mission accepted." Said Heero Yuy for the final time. Heero raised the control to the self detonation device and hit the button.
The outline of Wing started to turn red as the warn light flashed in the cock pit. Suddenly the chest plates started to light up. Then a surging amount of energy was thrusted into the main points of the Gundam. A bright bluish white light flashed and a warning alarm sounded. Then in what seemed like only second the Gundam detonation was complete. Small scraps of metal, wires and glass shattered in to millions of pieces as the tall and proud Wing Gundam exploded into a pile of rubble. Heero pun in the air as he was thrown from the hatch of the cockpit and send tumbling to the ground like the entire Gundanium alloy around him. The frame of Wing the collapsed to the ground in nothing put a pile of junk.
Blood started to seep from Heero's head and body mixing his fair skin with an awful smelling liquid.
"HEERO!!!!" Screamed Duo as she watched her friend fall to his death.
"01 just..."
"...self-detonated..." Colonel Une finished Noin's sentence.
Quatre's eyes widened as her slight empathy power started to take over her boy. She grasped her heart. The emotions of people around her started to turn in her head. The beating of their hearts increased in time with hers.
"That pilot sacrificed his life..!"
"He self-detonated in exchange for the colonies?"
"He sacrificed his life without a second thought."
"Aaahhh!" Screamed Quatre as she grasped her heart tighter. Heero's pain flowed through her body. The pain of your body being crushed by the shier force of the blast behind him. The blood that seeped from his body making him weaker and paler than he was before. Tears started to flow from her eyes as she leaned forward trapped by her belt to curl up and hope the pain goes away.
"The pain!..." She couldn't get her words out the pain was too much. "My body!... My Soul!..."
"Can you hear me?" Came a voice ringing through Quatre's ears. "We must leave here at one!"
Quatre's eyes shot open at the sound of the male's voice.
Heavyarms reached down and grabbed Heero off the ground.
"Trowa!" Whispered Quatre with a slight hope it was. "That you, Trowa?!
"Without resolution we cannot fight." Explained Trowa over the com link. "He's accepted all orders."
"B-Because they bluffed with the colonies." Duo whimpered trying to hold her tears back.
"We can't fight any longer." Said Quatre as the tears still flowed down her cheeks.
Sandrock then used on of its Shield Flashes to cause a blinding light to help them escape.
Heavyarms didn't move, waiting for what the Tallgeese would do. Heavyarms wouldn't be able to fight with Heero in its hand.
"Hurry and move out!" Called Zechs to Heavyarms. "I won't attack you in a position like this!"
Heavyarms then turned and started to leave.
Duo: Damn that OZ how could they do that?!?!?! The Gundams have been defeated. With the colonies used as hostages, we don't have a chance. Quatre and I head to a small village, of the Maguanac's home. Quatre and I talk about our missions when OZ attacks. We're useless, now... Relena heads to Moscow to face her father's killer... Looks like I'm the only one worried about If Heero's alive or not... Next time on Gundam Wing, episode 11, The whereabouts of Happiness!
[1] = Anyone notices that in most of the first series when Trowa speaks during a battle it sounds like a whisper?!?! Just thought I'd throw it out there.
Happy New Year Guys XXXXX
