I decided to be nice and post chapter two...This should give more details on the plot. Hope you like it! ^_^
Chapter Two
Himitsu sat in the cockpit of her Gundam, breathing hard, despite the fact that she didn't need the oxygen she was inhaling. Her power supply was running low, which caused errors in her piloting skills. "I had not anticipated this..." She looked at the vast number of enemies she had yet to defeat. The Maguanac Corps. Quickly, she checked the damage on her Gundam. "Various systems malfunctioning...But I've got to keep going..."
In the darkness of the night, she whirled around and slashed at the nearest opponent with her beam saber. The suit fell to its knees, and Himitsu watched as the pilot hatch slowly opened.
"You won't make it out of here alive. Surrender, and we'll spare you." The pilot said. He took off his goggles.
"Quatre Raberba Winner..." Himitsu hissed. She looked around. The other Maguanacs were closing in on her. She would most certainly be destroyed, but maybe she could still kill Quatre...
She opened the pilot hatch and jumped to the ground, carefully concealing the gun she held.
"I accept your surrender." Quatre said.
"I never said anything about surrendering." Himitsu said coldly, bringing out her gun and pointing it at Quatre. "This is for killing my mother." Himitsu's finger moved to squeeze the trigger...
Quatre watched in horror as the girl before him began to pull the trigger. I guess this is the end... He shut his eyes and waited.
A few seconds later, he opened his eyes in time to see the girl fall to the ground. Quatre looked around. The Maguanacs couldn't have shot her from their mobile suits without blowing him up as well.
"What happened, Rashid?" Quatre called to the approaching suit.
"I don't know, Master Quatre. We didn't shoot her, she just fell like that. Don't go near her. This may be a trick."
Quatre looked at the girl intently. The light of the moon and stars revealed she was probably around seventeen, and judging by her well-developed muscles she was a formidable fighter.
She didn't appear to be breathing. Cautiously, Quatre took a small step toward her. She didn't react in any way.
"Sensors indicate that there is no heat activity whatsoever coming from her." Rashid reported, checking computers inside his suit.
"But...Even if she just died, there'd still be some heat activity..." Quatre said, confused.
Although it was nighttime, a strong desert wind started to blow suddenly. "A sand storm's coming. We'd better go back to the base." Rashid advised, picking up the girl with his mobile suit. Other Maguanacs prepared to take the Gundam.
*******
"Heero? Duo? What are you guys doing here?" Quatre asked, surprised. He had just returned to the base with the other Maguanacs.
"We saw that you had been attacked, so we thought we'd drop in and make sure you were OK," Duo said cheerily. "It's been a while, hasn't it?"
"It has." Quatre said, happy to be back with his comrades again.
"Was the pilot of the Gundam killed?" Heero asked.
"I don't know, actually...Something odd happened..." Quatre said.
"Master Quatre! You'd better come take a look at this!" Rashid called.
The three pilots followed him into one of the base's many rooms.
The mysterious girl had been placed on a table. "She has no pulse." Rashid said.
"So...she's dead?" Quatre asked.
Duo stared at him. "Well, when someone doesn't have a pulse, that usually means they're dead." He said sarcastically.
"Not in her case." Rashid said. "This girl was never alive."
Chapter Three
"Never...alive?" Quatre said.
Heero's eyes widened slightly. "She's an android." It was a statement, not a question.
"That is correct, Heero." Rashid showed the boys the code on her arm.
"Androids? I thought those things only existed in Dragon Ball Z and Outlaw Star." Duo said.
Heero glanced at him. "Duo, you watch way too much TV..."
Quatre was staring at the girl. "She doesn't look any different from a human. Except for that code on her arm." The girl's long black hair was spread across the table, and she had a peaceful expression on her face, almost as if she was sleeping.
"Doctor J told me about android technology. Some of the scientists planned to create android pilots for the Gundams instead of using real humans. But that would have made us no different from the mobile dolls." Heero said thoughtfully.
"Rashid, why did she shut down all of a sudden?" Quatre asked.
"The most likely explanation is that she ran out of power." Rashid replied.
"Maybe Doctor J would know about her," Duo suggested.
"Good point, Duo. We should contact him." Heero said.
*******
"What?! An android?" Dr. J nearly yelled over the video-phone.
"Yeah. She attacked us in a Gundam." Quatre told him.
"Tell me the number on her arm!" The doctor demanded.
"HR-L6-001." Rashid read.
"Damn that woman!" Doctor J cursed.
"Uh...Doctor J, could you explain, please?" Duo asked.
"The sixth Gundam was designed and built by a woman named Dr. Akura Rei. Unlike the other five scientists, she never found a pilot for it. So she decided she wanted to create one. We warned her not to do it, because creating an artificial pilot would be comparable to the mobile dolls, and I thought we had convinced her."
"What do you suggest we do with the android?" Rashid asked.
"Destroy it immediately. This is a time of peace, there are no need for such things. It will probably be very dangerous if its power supply is replenished."
"Just out of curiosity, Dr., how do you replenish the power supply on an android?" Duo asked.
Dr. J eyed him warily. "You're not planning to try anything, are you?"
"Are you nuts? I've watched DBZ enough to know how dangerous those things are. I was just curious. It's not every day you find an android."
"If the design is the same as the one we had discussed, there should be a power socket somewhere on the body. It simply needs to be connected to an outlet for a few hours to fully recharge the internal batteries. I must go now. Dispose of the android as soon as you can." The transmission ended.
Duo yawned and looked at his watch. "It's almost two in the morning...I think we ought to go to the mansion and sleep and take care of the android tomorrow."
