Chapter Six: The Chosen Seven
The test commenced immediately. We were all taken to a simulation room where replica mobile suit cockpits were. We were each given different battle scenarios. Mine was a seek and destroy mission.
First it was all dark, I could hear or feel nothing. Then, the darkness lifted and I saw what looked like the semblance of space. . . .Looked so peaceful. Until that missile hit me in my back.
I swirled around in my mobile suit fast enough to dodge the oncoming beam cannon blast, but I was caught in the back wash from it and went flying end over end. Swiftly I evaded the next blast and shot off my own Vulcan cannon, destroying the enemy. Six more mobile suits came at me and gracefully I dispatched them all. Looking around I saw the base I had to destroy. Charging up my beam cannon, I felt a rush of adrenaline:
"All of you will rue the day, the Daughter of Chaos came out to play."
I shot off the cannon and destroyed the base, then all went blank.
The cockpit opened and I saw three others had finished and their cockpits had opened as well. Then I heard the creak of another open. It was Quatre. He smiled and nodded at me. Another creaking sound, and Duo came out, looked at me, and winked. One more. I was worried where was she? The I heard it. A seventh creak. Fortune's face peaked out and I let out a sigh of relief. A voice came over the loud speaker:
"Congratulations, you seven are now Gundam pilots. Please leave your simulators and follow the lights on the floor."
As the voice faded, a row of lights lit either side of a path on the floor. Time to meet our destiny.
