Author's Note

Okay! Next one!

As the group was exploring in their mechs, they see some fighting going on. Kokonoe suddenly comes on. "Okay, guys. Here's what's happening right now: You're looking for the Turn A Gundam. This thing here." She told, showing a picture of said Gundam. Mako laughs for some reason. "...Something funny, Mako?"

"It... It's got... It's got a really funny looking mustache~!" Mako laughed more.

"...Your point?"

"It's... just really... really funny to me..." Mako admitted, prodding her fingers together, no longer laughing.

"...Yeah. I know it's really funny. Believe me, I had a chuckle or two."

"Really?"

"Yeah, but we can laugh about it later."

"Promise?"

"...Sure thing." Kokonoe smiles warmly. "First things first. That Gundam is making its way towards the enemy to engage it. Your Tutorial Protocol is still in effect for the Type A and Type C AIs. As far as the Type B AIs are concerned, there is no need for a tutorial on how to fight, since, well... you already know how to fight. ...You DO know how to fight, right?"

"Of course we do." Ira replied.

"I thought so." Kokonoe huffed.

"You almost sound relieved." Ryuko pointed out.

"You're imagining things. Anyway... find that Gundam, and you'll find your ally." Kokonoe declared.

"Who is piloting that Gundam in particular?" Hoka asked.

"Loran Cehack. Fifteen years old. He's a good guy." Kokonoe answered.

"All right. Time to find him." Uzu grunted.

"One more thing. There are enemy bases. As soon as you find one, you might find the Turn A Gundam. Keep an eye out for one." Kokonoe advised. Everyone nods. "Good luck." She sent off as she turns off her screen.

As soon as she does, Ryuko sees a base where there's some fighting involved. "That looks like a fight. I'm going in!" She told before doing so.

"I'm going with you!" Mako exclaimed, doing the same.

"Gamagoori. Go with them." Satsuki ordered.

"Milady." Ira acknowledges the order before doing so.

"Everyone else, find the other enemy bases and capture them."

"Right!" Uzu, Nonon, and Hoka nodded as they fly off.

Ryuko and Mako notice that Ira is coming with them. The AI tutorial comes on for Ryuko alone. "You are about to engage in combat. To attack, it is advisable to use one or both of the two weapons holstered to your Gundam's hips known as Beam Swords." The AI advised. "You can also attack with the Gundam's fists, but that is more often than not used for knocking another mobile suit away from you."

"Okay. Got it." Ryuko nodded before pulling out two Scissor Blade shaped Beam Swords and attacking one of the enemy mechs. She then sees a red mech that looked feminine and had a similar system to Hoka and Nonon's. "...That ain't a Gundam, but maybe that could lead me to it..." She hummed.

"Okay~! I'll go talk to the pilot~!" Mako declared before doing so, defeating all of the mobile suits that got in her way.

"Huh? Who are you? An enemy?" The pilot of the red mech asked.

"We're looking for the Turn A Gundam so we can help it out!" Mako answered. "And to show my goodwill towards it, I'll introduce myself! My name is Mako Mankanshoku! Those two fighting over there are my friends Ryuko and Gamagoori. Ryuko's piloting that Gundam with the Scissor Blades."

"You wanna help the Turn A Gundam...? So you're NOT enemies, huh... I'm Puru Two. This is the Qubeley Mk II Unit 2." The pilot said.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Puru~!"

"It's Puru Two."

"Yeah, I know your name is Puru."

"No, that's my progenitor's name."

"Huh?"

"Elpeo Puru. That's her name."

"Elpeo Puru... That's a funny name~!" Mako pointed out with a smile.

"You wanna fucking die right now!?" Puru Two growled.

"Hey! Are you on our side or not!?" Ryuko asked Puru Two.

"WARNING. INCOMING ENEMIES HAVE APPEARED." The AIs of Ryuko and her allies alerted.

"Ryuko! Look!" Mako exclaimed, pointing at said enemies.

"Hmph. I'm going to blast them all away!" Puru Two boasted, going to do so.

"Hey! Hold it right there!" Ryuko ordered, pursuing her.

A black mech with the same model as Puru Two's was hanging out in one of the bases of her allies. However, the pilot sees Nonon's mech coming towards it. "What kinda Gundam is that...?" The pilot wondered as Nonon summons small music note-shaped turrets that fly around and destroy the enemies around the mech.

"No point in running, y'know. You're in my stage and I'm about to put on a performance!" Nonon declared.

"A performance?" The pilot hummed.

"You all right? You weren't hurt by those guys surrounding you, were you?"

"Those were my allies!"

"Oh, they were? Well, that's what I get for assuming, huh?"

"You must be an enemy! You won't get away with this!" The pilot snarled as she summons small turrets that fly around as well. The turrets shoot at Nonon's mech which, through Nonon's unexpectedly expert piloting skills, avoid each of those shots.

'Right. Gotta multitask.' Nonon thought before making her turrets fly around and start destroying the black mech's turrets, making the black mech change tactics, avoiding Nonon's turrets. "No point in running!" She warned with a smirk, energy charging up in her mech's forehead. "Have some of this to the tune of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5: Fate!"

Cue: Beethoven's Symphony No. 5: Fate (I am not kidding.)

Nonon fires a hot pink colored energy beam from her Gundam's forehead, which is also carrying the sound of the song playing. This beam was large and wide, destroying any nameless reinforcements that were coming to help the pilot of the black mech while the pilot barely dodges. "Whoa!"

"How's that? This energy beam emits a frequency that overheats a mech with a force equal to that of an EMP and Frag Grenade combined. Even if you don't get obliterated by the beam, you won't be able to do ANYTHING about whatever comes next!" Nonon boasted.

End Song

Satsuki was seen dueling with a red Gundam mech, obviously not the Turn A Gundam. The pilot of the red Gundam clashed beam swords with Satsuki's mech, the former pulling out a black whip that superheats itself to an orange plasma-like whip that lashes out at her, Satsuki dodging. "You're good, but the Gundam Epyon is MUCH better than yours!" The pilot of the red Gundam exclaimed.

"Talk is cheap against the Purity Gundam. Come at me like you mean it!" Satsuki provoked. Hoka suddenly came onto Satsuki's screen.

"Lady Satsuki. I have located an enemy gunship. I have analyzed it and its capabilities. What would you like me to do?" Hoka asked.

"If it is of no consequence, destroy it as quickly as possible." Satsuki ordered. "If there is anyone aboard that ship, make sure to damage it enough so that it must be repaired."

"Understood, milady." Hoka acknowledged before ending communications.

"Now then... where were we?" Satsuki hummed, preparing to fight the Epyon again.

"Apologies, but I'll have to render your Big Tray useless." Hoka stated, his turrets shooting at the ship he talked to Satsuki about. The ship takes some hard hits.

"Gh...! I'm pulling out the Big Tray! I'm sorry, everyone, but it's all up to you now!" The female captain of the ship grunted before retreating.

"RAAAIIIN!" A male pilot, piloting a martial-arts type Gundam called as said Gundam appeared. "No more mercy! I'm taking you all down!"

"And you are?" Hoka adjusted his glasses in interest.

"My name's Domon Kasshun... and you will PAY for that!" The male pilot growled.

"By all means. MAKE me pay for it." Hoka taunted.

"Hold it right there!"

Domon and Hoka direct their attention at the pilot, who is, well, piloting, the Gundam from Kokonoe's picture: The Turn A Gundam. 'That looks just like the mech in Kokonoe's picture... The Turn A Gundam...' Hoka thought.

"We don't have to fight!" The pilot told before Domon kicks the pilot who blocks with his shield. Domon kicks the pilot's Gundam away, the Gundam still blocking with its shield.

"Not bad. Time to get serious!" Domon declared, its power burning bright. "Erupting Burning Finger!" He roared as the Gundam attacks with a burning hand. The Turn A Gundam blocks, but its shield was knocked away. Before it could hit the ground, the pilot has the Turn A Gundam backflip to where it was going to land before catching the shield. "What's wrong? If you don't want to fight, then run away!"

"If I don't want to fight? Of course I don't want to fight! Only a fool fights when there's no need!" The pilot argued.

"What did you say!?" Domon grunted before pulling out his own beam sword and charging at the Turn A Gundam.

"But in this case, I'll make an exception." The pilot of the Turn A Gundam said, pulling out his own beam sword and clashing with Domon. "I'll fight you because you're a maniac who doesn't care who lives or who dies!" He told before knocking Domon's beam sword out of his hands.

"I will assist you. You are the pilot of the Turn A Gundam, Loran Cehack, after all. Am I right?" Hoka asked.

"How did you know...?" The pilot asked back.

"Kokonoe knows you. If you want to know how SHE knows, why don't you ask her?"

"Kokonoe...? You know her!?"

"Did they say... Kokonoe...!?" Domon gasped.

"How do YOU know her?" Loran brought up.

"She... helped me..."

"She helped me too!"

"Well now... She's helping everybody here, huh...?" Hoka hummed in interest. "Things are getting quite interesting here..."
