Cliffhangers are fun! I love being evil and driving people crazy like that! So, who was helping the Rugrats, and does this guy have yet another ace up his sleeve? Of course he does! That's what makes it so damn interesting! Okay, that's enough from me. On with the fic.
Heero gripped the joystick-like controllers of the Wing Zero tightly as he narrowed his eyes at his advisory. He really thought that he would've learned by now. His knuckles began to turn white as he gritted his teeth in anger. "Wufei, how could you?!" he spat out.
Wufei laughed at this and smiled evilly at his former war-buddies. "I already told you, Heero. Soldiers such as ourselves have got to take drastic measures to stay alive in this society. That is why I'm helping and protecting the rugrats. I know you agree with me, you're not satisfied with these missions assigned to us as Preventers. They're small potatoes for soldiers of our level and skill. They don't feed that hunger for action and battle with both have. This is no way to live."
"Innocent people are killed in war! Don't you care about them?!"
"I am here to protect the innocent. You were going to kill these innocent babies, and I'm protecting them."
"They are not innocent, Wufei! They're weapons of insanity!" Quatre said.
"Enough of this! You weaklings are no match for us, and talking to you is rather a bore."
Wufei pressed a few buttons on the control panel before him. "I leave this to you guys." Wufei said into the microphone. "You can count on us!" Tommy said as the Zero System booted up.
"He's turned on the Zero System!" Duo said, horrified after seeing what the Zero System can do.
"We've got to take this fight out of the city!" Quatre said.
The other two pilots agreed and took off, hoping that Wufei and the rugrats would follow in pursuit. "Running away, weak ones? Don't let them get away! I'll be back as soon as I get Nataku ready." Wufei ordered. He then jumped out of the RR's cockpit and took off the remains of the house as the rugrats chased the Gundams.
Wufei ran down to the basement where he kept his Gundam, only to find it missing. "Injustice! Who took my Gundam?!" he yelled at no one unparticular. He heard the sounds of something giant running around in the streets and the frantic yells of people. He walked out of the basement to find his Gundam smashing into things. The pilot, Grandpa Louie.
"Get out of my way you carn sarn wipper snappers!" he yelled as he mindlessly piloted through the streets to his destination: The Statesville Nursing Home. "I'll set you free, my senile friends! Free I say!" he yelled as he stepped on a water fountain.
"This is injustice! INJUSTICE DAMMIT!!! Give me back my Gundam you old fart!" Wufei yelled after grandpa Louie, who paid him no mind as he smashed a few houses. Just then, Chucky's dad came driving up the street to retrieve his son, when he saw the commotion. He stopped the car and rolled down the window to inquire about the mass destruction that was happening. "What's going on?" he asked Wufei.
"A great injustice! That's what! Lend me your car!"
Wufei reached inside and pulled Chucky's dad out of the car, tossing him to the asphalt. He then jumped in the pathetic station wagon (I don't know, Chucky's dad seems to be the type to drive around in a station wagon) and sped of, accidentally running over Chucky's dad in the process. "Ow! My hip!" he screamed as Wufei left him behind. "How am I supposed to clog dance and polka with my hip like this!? Now no woman will ever love me!"
Louie, who was unfamiliar with technology such as the Gundams, was having a very difficult time keeping the Shenlong Altron under control. The clutter of destroyed buildings and other such debre didn't help much either. Louie stepped on a few cars and quickly lost what little balance he had just as someone would if they were to trip on carelessly discarded Match Box cars. The Gundam fell to the ground, but Louie somehow managed to get the Gundam to catch itself with it's arms before colliding with the pavement face first. Of course, the force of the fall was felt in the cockpit as well. The seat belt of the Gundam stopped Louie from propelling forward, but not his teeth. "Dammit! Ow I eally ost my eef!" he yelled. Translation: Dammit! Now I've really lost my teeth!
Wufei brought the car to a screeching halt and jumped out just as Louie opened the hatch of the Gundam and climbed out. "You! I demand that you hand over my Gundam this instant!" Wufei yelled, pointing an accusing finger at Louie. "Shud up, you ucking uck! I'm ying to ind my eef!" he yelled back. Translation: Shut up, you fucking punk! I'm trying to find my teeth! Lost in the search of his beloved teeth, Louie accidentally tripped over his feet do to the dizzying effects of piloting a Gundam for the first time. As he smashed into the ground, his glasses flew off his face and landed several feet away. "Gread, ow I ost my esticals!" Translation: Great, now I lost my spectacles!
A pair of nearby teenagers over heard Louie's rants about his missing items. "Dude! Check it out! That old guy just said that he lost his testicles!" one said. The other frowned and turned to his friend. "That must suck! Let's make fun of him!"
"Okay."
Louie continued the search for his teeth and glasses when he noticed the teenagers walking towards him. "Dude, we heard you lost you testicles. That sucks, but don't worry, we found 'em!" One of the teens said as he held a pair of raisons in front of him. "You disrepectul little sits! I ki you!" Louie yelled as he ran after the teenagers. Translation: You disrespectful little shits! I'll kill you!
As Louie ran after the teenagers, Wufei ran up to his Gundam. He climbed into the cock pit and nearly gagged. "Oh my poor Nataku! You have the stench of an old man! I shall remedy this!" Wufei searched around until he found his travel bag. He reached inside and pulled out a fresh Glade Plug In. He plugged it in to an outlet and sighed as the fresh sent of flowers filled the cock pit.
Meanwhile, the G-boys had successfully lured the rugrats out of the city and into the desolate hills. When they reached a safe distance from the city, the Gundams swiftly turned around to face their pursuer. A move which was not anticipated by the rookie pilots of the Robotic Reptar.
Tommy and Lil tried in vain to get the RR to come to a halt, but tripped over the uneven ground and fell face first to the ground. The quick reflexes of the Gundam pilots prevented them from being taken out by the plummeting RR. The crew of the RR slowly got it back on it's feet and took a fighting stance. "So, you really wanna fight, huh?" Duo said, activating his thermal scythe. "Then let's fight!"
Duo charged at the RR with his scythe high in the air and ready to strike. Just when he was in range and was bringing the weapon down on the RR, the Zero System kicked in and the babies managed to block it. However, since Duo was much stronger than all the babies combined, he managed to push the RR down into a kneeling position and then kick it in the chest. He then brought his thermal scythe across the RR's chest, but didn't leave anything more than a scratch. "That mobile suit must be made of Gundanium alloy too." Quatre said as he watched the battle.
"Wufei really made some heavy modifications to it, but it's no match for us!" Duo yelled as he attacked again. He launched a stream of bullets from the machine guns on DeathScythe Hell's shoulder's in an attempt to demobilize a few weapons on the RR's arms. He managed to take on out of commotion, but the other launched a heavy attack of missiles straight for DeathScythe's cock pit. The attack caught Duo off guard, but thankfully he was buckled in. Though the attack did give him quite a headache.
Taking advantage of Duo's dazed condition, the RR struck the DeathScythe Hell with amazing speed; another one of the advantages of the Zero System. After pummeling the DeathScythe, the RR pulled back to make a devastating punch to the cock pit, but Duo managed to block it and counter attack. As the RR stumbled back from Duo's attack, it released a strong blast from it's mouth. It was almost as powerful as the Wing Zero's buster rifle!
"I don't believe it!" Quatre exclaimed as he saw his friend's Gundam go down after the attack. "Duo! Come in!"
"I'm okay Quatre. Man, what the hell did Wufei do to that mobile suit?"
"I don't know, but it looks like we may be up against something bigger than we thought here."
"I'll handle this." Heero said, in his usually cool voice.
"Hold on there, Heero." Wufei said out of nowhere as he entered the scene. "There's something you should know."
"What's that?"
"I didn't just install the RR with the Zero System, it also comes equipped with the Zero Point Five System!"
"Zero Point Five System?" Quatre repeated, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes! The Zero Point Five System. It's got the strength of the Zero System and a half. I'd make it twice as strong as the Zero System, but that's just nuts. The Zero Point Five System distributes itself to multiple pilots, so that each pilot deals with their own little part of the system. Then it reconfigures itself and uses the info from the pilots to make it's move. Of course, the Zero Point Five System is meant only to be used by a suit with multiple pilots, like the Robotic Reptar. Even if you were some how able to activate the ZPFS, you'd never be able to handle it. In other words, you're screwed."
"Wait a minute, you mean we can access the ZPFS from our Gundams?"
"Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. I suggest you surrender while you still can."
"You're nuts if you think we'll surrender to a bunch of babies!" Duo shouted.
"So be it then." Wufei said. "Rugrat team, annihilate them!"
So Wufei betrays the other G-boys and has sided with the Rugrats! What will happen now? Will the G-boys live long enough to activate the ZPFS? And even if they do, will they be able to handle it? Find out next time!
