Episode II
Mighty Hero
"What are these suits?!" asked General Maclarr.
"Sir, we believe they are the legendary mobile suits called Gundams" the officer answered smartly.
"WHAT? There's no way that can be true!" he responded loudly.
The officer started to talk again.
"After each of our initial attacks, a mobile suit, known as Gundams countered our attacks and eliminated all our suits. Each area was protected by a separate suit, so it looks like we are dealing with 4 different Gundams" the officer said, finishing.
"Great, and after all that planning. Now we have the same problem OZ had. Look where they got" Maclarr said.
The general stood, and walked to one of the windows facing the thick jungle. His hand rose, and he put his face into it.
'Everything I worked for, world domination, control of Earth, and now I come up against Gundams. All the years of building up the Silver Scythe army. Now I have 4 more roadblocks to bypass' he thought. He straightened himself and did an about face so that he was facing the officer.
"Get me on the line with all the unit commanders! I want to talk to them all personally. Get the main screen up" he barked.
"Yes sir"! yelled the officer. Maclarr walked back to his seat as a portion of the wall slid away, revealing a large screen. A few seconds later, several faces began to pop up in different portions of the screen. After the entire screen filled up, Maclarr began to talk.
"As you know, our 4 initial attacks were a complete failure. We lost all suits and soldiers. Now you all must realize this, we are up against some of the greatest suits in the universe, called Gundams"! Maclarr said.
There was an outburst from every person on the screen.
"No way!"
"How can that be?"
"I thought the Gundams were destroyed"
Maclarr exploded.
"SHUT UP FOOLS!!!!" he screamed. The talk stopped.
"These suits are powerful, but remember our preparation, our plans, our dreams" he said slowly.
"You were all soldiers when the Gundams stopped Miliardo Peacecraft and the White Fang from destroying earth. He wanted Earth destroyed, but we want control of Earth. We only were stopped at 2 major locations, Sydney and Paris. These pictures are from the battle field".
He reached to his left and hit a button. A recording began as pictures began to slide across the screen.
"My name in Dren Flashmar, and Inferno and I will have my revenge on all of you"
The recording continued.
"Hey you stupid morons, I'm Melissa Peacecraft, and I'm here to protect this lands honor. You must stop this attack on them immediately"
"Gundam Vapor and I will defeat you, even if you outnumber me 20 to one"
A third recording began.
"I'm Charlie DoWarn, and my Gundam and I are going to take you down!"
"Come on Pulsar, lets move!"
The final recording began.
"I'm Macron Clover, and Calypso and I will destroy you"
As it finished, Maclarr turned back to the screen.
"Calypso, Inferno, Pulsar, and Vapor are the names of these suits. We will refer to them as I, V, P and C and " Maclarr continued.
There was visible unrest in the faces of the commanders on the screens.
"Don't worry, because we have the best army in the world right now, and nothing can stop us! We are the ultimate power in the universe, and even these Gundams can't get in our way!" Maclarr finished.
The men seemed more comforted by their leaders remarks. One spoke out.
"My army of suits is at your every command General Maclarr" said the man.
Maclarr looked to the right. A man was standing to the right of the table. He turned and faced Maclarr. His left eye flashed in the light, revealing the mechanical eyeball. He rose his left hand up, and slammed it into the steel table, creating a huge dent. All the others on screen jumped.
"Ahh, Lieutenant Cylar. I did not know you were back. You have always been my brightest soldier and warrior. You have the crack trained soldiers that are eager to do battle with the enemy. That is why you will be leading any main assaults that require your expertise. If any of those Preventers intervene, we will destroy them. The Gundams can be overwhelmed by our sheer numbers. We can easily take control" he said.
He turned his back on them, and spoke
" Send out the Aquarius, and Gemini".

Dren was sitting in the cockpit of Inferno, scrolling through the schematics of the weapons of the suit. He was viewing the flash cannon capabilities. He looked long and hard at the power of the simple gun.
Each canister has the power of 25 napalm bombs.
"I should have thought about what I was doing. O broke my dads number 1 rule. Never use an untested weapon in combat. I shouldn't have used it. Now, my friends are gone, my home is gone, and it's all my fault" Dren said to himself.
His hand reached out and turned on the news, and was surprised to see what was on.
"3 different areas were attacked today by mobile suit groups. West Point, Sydney, and Paris were assaulted, but were saved by a strange mobile suit each time, but it was a different suit at each location. No one has any idea from where these suits came from and who was piloting them" the newscaster finished.
"I wonder who these guys are" Dren said.
He pulled back on the joystick, and the suit straightened up. He cranked the engines to half, and flew towards London, the nearest main city.
Location: London, former England
The fog was slowly receding from over the Thames river, and the city was slowly coming to life. Lights came on, people left their houses, walking down the street. The river began to bubble, and out rose 10 strange suits. They had mermaid tails, and carried large shoulder cannons attached to a hose which ran into its back. The sides of its tail opened and released 2 torpedoes, which sped into the sides of the riverbank. Several of the suits turned, and aimed their cannons, which looked like large jars, at Big Ben. Out shot a huge blast of water into the air straight at the mighty clock. The water fell short, and hit the side of it. The water left heavy mist rising off the tower. People ran screaming away from the river.
"Hahahahahahaha, time for the debut of Aquarius!" yelled the pilot of the strange new mobile suit. He turned on his broadcaster, and yelled out.
"Hey, you stupid Brits, time to DIE!!!"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" a voice screamed back.
"Huh?" the pilot responded back.
He suddenly realized his scanner was beeping. A blip was coming in at amazing speed. Shrugging it off he turned his attention back to the attack
Pulling back on the control stick, he locked onto the clock. Firing another blast of water at the clock, they watched it arc up, then down to the face of the clock.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…….wha?!" the pilot gasped.
A huge suit was in front of the face of the clock, and the water hit into it, doing nothing.
"This clock is a landmark, and nothing will happen to it" the pilot said.
"Wait a minute, your…your….your a GUNDAM! Its Gundam I!!" the pilot screamed.
"I was going to just disable you, but since you made that last crack about the British, I think you are going to have to die now. Prepare to fight Dren Flashmar" he finished, but just as he was finishing his speech, he saw 2 of the aquatic suits explode.
'What did that?' Dren thought to himself.
A strange mobile suit appeared over the water. It was carrying 2 beam scythes in an x shape in front of its legs. It broadcast a simple message.
"Leave now"
The suits turned and faced their cannons at the new suit.
"2 GUNDAMS!! I and C ARE IN LONDON!!" one of the pilots yelled, firing 5 missiles out of the weird jar cannon on its shoulder.
"Wha….another Gundam?" Dren said.
Missiles were fired from the 8 remaining suits, spiraling at all different angles at the suit. It suddenly disappeared completely from view.
Several more suits exploded brilliantly. Dren squinted, and saw a light shadow near where the suits were destroyed. He surged forward at the shadow, and pulled out his beam saber in one fluid movement. His blade came crashing down….and stopped. The suit materialized, and he saw his blade was in a pincher lock with the 2 beam scythes.
"These guys are MINE!" Dren yelled.
"They are under the influence of their leader, and deserve to live" the pilot responded.
Dren felt the rage boiling up from deep inside him. The panels on his Gundams face, shoulders, knees, and chest, opened up and engulfed the other suit. What was strange is that he hadn't even activated the flame-throwers. The rage he had felt had subsided. He felt the lock on his saber loosen, and he pulled it back. The flames had cleared and he saw the suit in the same position he saw it in the first time. Smoke was slowly rising off the suit. It raised its beam scythes up, and surged forward.
"Don't you get it…MY GUNDAM WILL DESTROY YOU!!!" the pilot yelled out.
Inferno rose its beam saber and absorbed the beam sabers swing. The second came in from the left. Dren moved the arm and stopped the blow. The vernier engines surged to life, and Inferno did a complete flip over head, and grabbed the arms of the other Gundam. He pulled them back, and held them tight.
"Where did you get this suit?" Dren asked.
"I found this suit, it was left to me by a mysterious man. I want to protect these people. They don't deserve war" the pilot said.
"What is your name?" Dren asked.
"I'm Macron Clover, and this is Gundam Calypso" he said.
"I'm Dren Flashmar, and this is Inferno... uhh, I gotta finish something" Dren said.
Inferno released its grip on Calypso, and floated back, turning around. He saw that the suits were gone.
"WHAT! DO YOU THINK YOU CAN ESCAPE DEATH?!" Dren yelled when he saw this. It was like he was in a trance. The Gundams right arm reached behind his back, and pulled out the flash cannon. He pointed it at the surface of the river, and released a capsule. It cruised through the surface, and leveled out, like a torpedo. The image of what the torpedo camera saw came up on screen. Dren was delirious.
"Time to DIE!!!" Dren yelled.
The fleeing suits came into view. Dren cruised the capsule into the last suit, detonating it. The screen immediately went dead. Dren looked up and saw a huge gush of water surge up from down the river. The scalding water surged out of the river, and onto the shores, hitting the buildings along it. Dren suddenly broke free from his trance, and stood transfixed on the site. He was very relieved that nothing was damaged seriously.
"What's the deal with this suit?" Dren said to himself.
"Wow, what a weapon! What is that gun?" Macron said, his voice slowly re-entering Dren's conscious mind. He turned Inferno to face Calypso.
"It's called a flash cannon, and it has the power of 25 napalm bombs in each capsule" Dren said drearily "and I just want to rest" he said finishing.
"Where are we going?" Macron asked.
"Just follow me" Dren responded.
Inferno's engines opened, and blasted alive. Calypso's smaller engines roared to life, and cruised after Inferno.
