DUO: MISSION SETRIS
*****************************************************************
The alpine mountains hid did little to hide the taint of blood.
The trail of scrap metal forming a path behind the Gundam was not
well concealed from the eyes either. But the God of Death didn't
care. He wanted all the trouble he could get. He liked the
prospect of a good battle. Unfortunately, one was not easily
found. Inferior pilots were the only ones that lay at
Deathscythe's feet. No worthy adversaries to be found.
The Deathscythe Gundam crept its way up the ice-covered mountain
and toward its destination: the Rimillion Arimidas Base. It was a
covert base, hidden from view, and specializing in the building
of high-tech mobile suits. But they had very little defense when
it came down to protecting themselves.
As the dark shadow of a mobile suit covered the ground, the Leos
only had a few seconds to react to an attack. Not enough. Duo's
beam scythe cut through two Leos like butter. They never stood a
chance. The massive explosion rattled the mountains.
As the other Leos backed away, Deathscythe advanced with its
incredible speed, destroying the mobile suits one by one. In the
cockpit, Duo grinned. "Like shooting fish in a barrel."
The Leo tried desperately to aim its gun moments before Duo's
scythe cut the mobile suit's arm off. The Leo fell to the ground,
gun out of reach, waiting to die.
Duo smiled. There was nothing funny about death, but it had to be
done for peace to exist. His smile was merely an expression of
blankness to cover his face. "Bye," Duo remarked as he rammed the
scythe into the Leo's chest, destroying it instantly.
Duo looked at the base. All the mobile suits were obliterated.
Now it was time for Duo to terminate the base. A blast of thunder
broke the sound barrier as a jet liner thrusted into the sky. Duo
frowned. No one escaped the God of Death.
The rockets on Deathscythe's back blazed to life as he roared off
into the sky, pursuing the jet with the deepest regard. As he
approached, he watched the hatch open and a mobile suit come
flying out at him.
"What the hell," shouted Duo before having the shit beat out of
his Gundam by the opposing suit. The Deathscythe took a major
blow and crashed into the white sheet of snow.
Duo rubbed his head and then stared at his hand. Blood of the
thickest kind was smeared against it. Duo's expression tightened.
"Now you've made me mad, you bastard."
He flew back up into the air, holding his scythe in front of him,
his speed continuing to increase. The enemy anticipated Duo's
move and made a grab for the scythe. Caught off guard,
Deathscythe spun in a loop, twisting back into a mixed flight.
At this point, Duo chose to examine the mobile suit he was
fighting a little closer. It was no ordinary suit, that was
certain. It was blood red, with a tinted black lens and a crown
shaped head. Its broad shoulder panels led the arm down to a pair
of fists, each now holding a beam saber.
The unit charged. Duo was ready. He dodged left, striking the
unknown suit in the broadside, knocking it away. The suit
retaliated, dropping one of its sabers and drawing a gun in its
place. Rattling off shots to get Duo's attention diverted, it
made a tactical run into Deathscythe's chest, throwing both the
Gundam and itself into the ground like a rag doll.
As the mobile suit rose once again to its feet, Duo began to
waver. He had found exactly what he had wanted in an opponent. To
his dismay, however, the battle was only looking to get worse for
the God of Death.
Extracting the shield from its back, Duo decided now to use the
full entent of Deathscythe's powers to destroy the enemy.
Suddenly, a voice came on over the transmitter in Duo's pit.
"Deathscythe... speak now... this is the pilot of Setris.."
Duo paused. So the suit was Setris, eh? No matter, soon it would
be dust. Duo laughed into the transmitter. "Buddy, if I were you,
I'd be running, not talking."
"What makes you think that you can defeat this mobile suit?"
asked the voice.
"Because I'm the God of Death, and my power is equalled by none."
"Big talk. No matter, because I have the simple objective of
disposal. On behalf of the Monarch of White Fang, I, Reylin
Talrendas, will destroy you."
"Well, make it so, Reylin," urged Duo.
The Setris struck with speed unimagined for such a heavy unit.
The beam saber came down like lightening. Duo was barely able to
raise his scythe and stop the attack. Setris shoved its knee into
the Deathscythe and pushed it back, giving the Setris an
advantage while Duo struggled to remain stable.
Reylin brought the beam saber down on Deathscythe, slicing a deep
cut in the left shoulder. The Daethscythe sprung forward, Duo in
a fit of rage. The Gundam's tremendous force increased as
Deathscythe wrapped its arms around Setris and the two flew back
toward the base. As Duo looked in a moment of silence, both the
mobile suits rammed into the main of the base, creating a massive
explosion and setting off an avalanche.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
As the new snow covered the once remains of the Rimillion mobile
suit factory, there was no sign of the mobile suits. It seemed as
though Duo and Reylin had perished in the avalanche. Then ,
slowly, bit by bit, a robotic hand pawed its way up to the
surface. But which pilot had survived?
NOTE: THERE WILL BE ANOTHER CHAPTER(I WOULDN'T LET IT END LIKE
THAT!)
