Mobile Suit Gundam Resurrection

Episode 25: The Pain of Loss

As the wreckage of his father's Gemini falls to ground in flames, Temuro freezes in fear with many thoughts running from through his head.

"No, dad! I'm sorry, I didn't mean any of those awful things I said to you! I just can't do this anymore!"

Temuro crashes the Hawk Gundam into the forest below and Merrel follows after him.

"I think the kids just been through to much."

Merrel walks up to the Hawk Gundam, climbs out his cockpit, and into the Hawk Gundam cockpit.

"Hey kid come on, we have to protect the Pegasus."

"What's the point. I don't care about that anymore! I don't even know what I'm fighting for!"

"Then I'm sorry I have to do this."

Merrel pulls out his gun and aims it at Temuro.

"Ensign defend the Pegasus, that is an order."

"Screw you, your not going to shoot me."

Merrel lowers his gun.

"I guess your right, but I have lost many friends in the line of duty. It never gets any easier to see anyone you care about die. I fight in this war with the memory of the people I lost and the people I want to protect."

"I will, I will avenge my father and protect everyone on that ship."

An image of Alissa runs through his mind.

"Alissa."

The Hawk Gundam flies up out of the forest and right towards Devin who is firing at the Pegasus's engines.

"Looks like he came back!"

Temuro draws his beam saber and takes a stab at Devin but he is barely able to move out of the way.

"Damn you! You killed my father!"

"You shouldn't let your emotions pilot your suit or they will bring you down!"

Devin draws his beam sword and takes a swipe at the Gundam but Temuro blocks it with his beam saber.

"I will make you pay for what you did!"

Suddenly the psycho frame starts to glow.

"So this Gundam has the same system the Gemini had."

Devin is frozen as he feels the power emanating from the Gundam and image of his Gouf being destroyed flashes through his mind.

"What the hell is this feeling? I can feel his anger and hatred towards me! Will this be the day that I die?"

Devin launches a spread of missiles at Temuro and he shoots them down with his vulcans.

"I won't let this monster destroy me!"

Before Devin can react Temuro shoots at him with his beam rifle, blasting off one of his arms.

"Damn you Gundam!"

"Enough of this crap! You die now!"

Temuro draws his beam saber and starts slashing away at the Gouf. Devin clashes his beam sword against the Gundam's beam saber.

"Your insane Gundam pilot!"

"I'm not insane, I'm just really pissed off!"

With lightning speed, Temuro knocks away Devin's beam sword and slashes through the top part of Devin's Gouf.

"I finally got you bastard."

The wreckage of the Gouf falls into the river beneath them. Mace and Thomias see Devin's suit fall into the water.

"No Commander! Mace he killed the commander!"

Mace flies towards the Gundam, but Thomias stops him.

"I'll kill you for this Gundam!"

"We have to retreat Mace! We can't take on this base without the Commander and we have lost to many of our mobile suits."

A retreat signal flare is fired from the Sedition ships and all of their forces retreat. A few hours later the wreckage of the battle is being cleared and the Pegasus is in the dock, finishing their repairs.

"Engineering reports our repairs should be done by tomorrow morning."

"There's no need to rush right now. We haven't received any orders to depart yet."

"Captain, we're receiving a transmission from Admiral Sotto."

"Put it on screen."

"Captain Senion, the Sedition is getting desperate. For the past few days they have been massing the rest of their forces in Canada and Africa. Intelligence reports say their going to try to take the spaceport in New York and take the fight back into space."

"So we are to head for New York then?"

"After the Sedition forces on Earth are neutralized we will take the fight into space. We have ships and mobile suits ready to strike at the heart of the Sedition."

"We'll do our best sir."

As night falls in New Jaburo, Temuro walks into his room and his head falls into his pillow. He gazes into the ceiling and raises a clenched fist.

"I will fight for the people I care about. Alissa, Kaya and everyone here on the Pegasus."
