Episode 5
The Strong Become The Weak
Dren sat around a small fire in the dark of night, nursing his wounded head. After being smashed into the hill side by Vapor, his head slammed into the side of the seat, leaving a huge cut. He looked at Inferno, kneeling close by, and saw the huge scrapes in the chest plate. He muttered to himself many profane words before calming again. He grabbed some small tinder and threw it on the flames. He sat back and looked up, seeing the vast area known as space. He had never been there, but he knew he would, some day.
"Space is where my destiny lies" he said quietly to himself.

"General Maclarr, we have made no advancement in any major continent, but so far, we are making head way in the former US, in Los Angeles. We have met no major retaliation" an aide said.
"Good, and what of the battle plans for the attack on Moscow and Berlin?" Maclarr asked.
"We are dropping troops now, including Gemini in Moscow, and the Berlin attack will be headed up by Cylar in his new suit" the aide answered.
"New suit?" Maclarr said questioningly.
"Tallgeese 4. The last design of Tallgeese"
Maclarr sat back in his chair, and thought about what Cylar was attempting. He pushed that thought to the back off his head.
"What of the new Leo Advanced have you brought me?"
"Well sir, Los Angeles is defenseless, so we haven't had any chance for combat situations yet. There are only 10 Leo Advanced in Los Angeles" the aide responded.
"Dismissed"
The aide exited the room, and Maclarr sat back, pondering his next stage of the takeover. He stopped, and reached over to his control panel, and flipped a switch. The main screen was revealed, and the schematics for the Leo Advanced came up on the screen. Circular saw blade built in to the left arm, and a dual machine gun with detachable beam cannon built into the right.
"There is no stopping me now"
***
The Leo Advanced suits leveled their dual machine guns on a building down the street. The barrels came alive with bullets as they sprayed out. The building was pummeled and collapsed under the heavy fire. A slow whining began, just barely audible at first, but then it became louder. The saw blades began to spin, and one swung the blade through a small building, causing the top half to slide off and smash apart. People poured out of all the doorways and exits, into the streets.
Many people struggled to put on their masks as they ran from the mobile suits. As the fleeing populous ran down the street, more regular Leo suits suddenly cut them off. They blocked off the street in the other direction. All across the city, more Leo suits were blocking off main roads and streets. People were in a mad rush to exit the seized sector, but they had nowhere to go. Inside one of the regular Leo, the pilot leveled his gun on the swaying crowd. As he was about to pull the trigger, he picked up something on his radar. He looked up and saw 1 carrier fly overhead, releasing 4 white Taurus suits. As they dropped, the engines kicked in and slowed their descent.
"Preventers! They are here to save us!" someone in the crowd yelled.
Many people began to head away from where the Taurus were heading. As the streets cleared, the Leo and Leo Advanced took defensive positions. One Taurus suit sent a message to the Leo.
"Drop your weapons immediately. You are under arrest by order of Lieutenant Une"
The 5 Leo opened fire on the Taurus suits instead. The Taurus split into pairs, and circled around. The more slow Leo suits had a hard time following the quicker Taurus. Fire shot repeatedly from the beam rifles of the quick mobile suits, scoring a direct hit in the leg of one Leo. Without the support of both legs, it tipped over, and crashed into the ground.
"No enemy or civilian casualties. The Preventers are here to stop a battle, not incite more fighting. If we kill any of them, they will take that as us wanting to fight" one of the Taurus pilots said.
The Taurus were easily stopping the Leo troops, but as one Preventer suit circled around, it was shot directly through by a beam of energy. The suit slowed, and slammed into the ground, burst into flames and skidded to a halt. A few seconds later it completely exploded, hurling metal and shrapnel all over the street.
The other Taurus saw 4 Leo Advanced suits marching up behind the regular Leo suits, with their saw blades spinning.
"What are those things?" one Preventer pilot said.
"Is it a new mobile suit model?" another wondered.
One Leo Advanced raised its beam cannon, and fired another blast of energy into a second Taurus. The suit exploded in mid air, causing the remaining two to be knocked backwards. Regaining their position, they flew directly into the air. Steadying their beam rifles on the arm where the beam cannons where mounted, they fired. Managing to hit one, it exploded, but the suit still walked forward, swinging the saw blade. As the weapon exploded, the air itself burst into flames.
"We can't stop them all. There are to many of them!" one of the two remaining Preventer pilots yelled.
The Taurus suits dodged the heavy fire, and tried to take out more Leo, but the Leo Advanced were to well equipped for them. The air around them had become extremely hot. Several buildings on the street had already begun to burn. Then one Leo suit that was firing upon the Taurus suddenly exploded. Standing behind the destroyed suit was a Gundam, carrying a huge hammer. He walked up behind another Leo and smashed it to pieces.
"That's one of the Gundams!" the pilot of the Taurus suit said.
The Leo Advanced had stopped firing on the Preventer suits, and turned on the Gundam. The beam cannons began to shoot energy at the new suit. Leaping into the air, the Gundam slammed its hammer down into the Leo Advanced, crushing it. Down at the other end of the street, more enemy suits marched in.
"Preventers, leave quickly. You can't stand up to them all" Charlie yelled.
"No way! We have our orders. We will back you up" the pilots answered.
"No problem!" Charlie said, as Pulsar swung the hammer into the nearest Leo.
The Taurus swooped in and fired into the suits that were attacking the back of Pulsar. Back to back, the Preventers and Gundam stood their ground. Although they did not know, a Leo Advanced was rising to the roof of one of the lower buildings. When it reached the top, it landed, and steadied its beam cannon on Pulsar.
"Take this Gundam 4!" the pilot said to himself.
Charlie had just picked up the enemy suit on radar, and he turned just as it was locking on. Pulsar raised its fist to take some of the damage when it hit. As the target locked in, the main camera suddenly shattered. The camera cover snapped down over the broken glass.
"Who did that?" Charlie said, as he searched the area.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone kneeling on a rooftop, several buildings away, rifle in hand. Zooming in, he didn't believe what he saw. Jerri stood, oxygen tank and mask on, and readied herself to fire again, but before she could, a Leo Advanced rose up behind her on its booster engines.
"Jerri, LOOK OUT!" Charlie yelled.
Pulsar slammed its fists together, charging them with energy. Funneling it into the hammer, he shot it directly into the chest of the enemy suit. Jerri screamed as the energy flew past her into the Leo Advanced, causing it to fall backwards, and explode. Her hair was flying all over the place as the dirt and metal flew by. The explosion set almost everything near it on fire.
"Preventers, save that girl, quick!" Charlie said.
"On it. Cover me" one Preventer answered, and the white Taurus suit rose into the air. The second fired the beam rifle repeatedly into the remaining suits on the one end of the street. Flying to the roof top, the Taurus opened its cockpit hatch to Jerri, revealing a women pilot.
"Get in, quick" the women said.
Jerri ran forward, and leapt into the cockpit. The hatch shut immediately, and they took off. Pulsar suddenly stopped, and slammed his fists together once again, but he did not separate them. The energy building in the fists rose to huge amounts, up to a point where the street was illuminated purple. The energy began to flow up through the handle of the hammer, and into the head.
Raising the hammer up, he crashed it down to the street in the direction of the enemy troops. The street began to crack open all the way up the street. Underneath the Leo and Leo Advanced, the street cracked open, and purple energy began to shine through. At that point, the cracks burst open, and enveloped the troops, causing one mass explosion. The power of the explosion was almost enough to knock over Pulsar. The Taurus and Pulsar took to the sky, and cruised away.

"Begin to drop troops" Cylar said over the intercom.
"Acknowledged" was the response.
The 2 carriers over the city of Berlin opened, and released 20 Aires and 10 Gemini each. The Aires engines kicked in, and they met the speed of the carriers. As the Gemini rolled out of the carrier, their backs opened, and revealed parachutes. Catching the wind, the slowed, and lowered down to the city. Following the last Gemini, Tallgeese 4 slid out.
"Gemini will be securing the main government building, and Aires, be on the look out for any Gundam" Cylar said, addressing his troops.
One Gemini, which was farther ahead then the others, pulled out its ax, and got in a landing position. Before it could get any closer, the surface of Berlin came alive with anti aircraft fire. The Gemini was pummeled, and it exploded.
"Aires, take out the weapons emplacements. They could destroy half our troops before we land" Cylar ordered as Tallgeese pulled out its beam trident staff.
All the Aires dove towards the city, but several were hit on the way down, exploding into giant fireballs. The Aires fired off missiles, lessening the anti aircraft fire. Now almost to the ground, the parachutes detached, and the Gemini landed with a thud. Many Gemini suits had opted to use the beam rifle end of the double use ax, just to play it safe. Tallgeese 4 lowered slowly down into the middle of the Gemini troops as the Aires cruised by overhead. The Gemini suits separated and went different ways into the city. Tallgeese 4 turned and rose back into the air on the power of its vernier engines. Igniting the tridents blade, it turned to the sky and launched forward, joining the ranks of Aires cruising over head.
***
The 2 white Taurus suits stood in an open field outside Los Angeles, with the large Gundam Pulsar behind them. On the ground in front of the monstrous suits, the Preventer pilots, Charlie, and Jerri stood in a half circle, facing each other.
"Thanks for the help" Charlie said.
"I lost 2 of my best pilots back there" the woman said quietly.
"That's the cost of war" Jerri said.
Charlie nodded.
"Ohh, by the way, I am Charlie DoWarn. This is my friend Jerri. Your with the Preventers?" he asked.
"Yes, I am Trasey Hod. This is Miko Fortune" Trasey said, motioning to her male companion. The man nodded in recognition.
"So you're the Gundam pilot everyone's been talking about" Trasey said.
"One of the 4 I know of. I am just one of them. We all have been halting some attacks by this new army who's got the world domination thing going" Charlie responded.
Glancing back up at the white Taurus suits and the slightly taller Gundam, Trasey spoke again.
"I want you to come and meet my superiors. We need a Gundam on our side for this crisis. Something to rally the troops around the flag of freedom for Earth. You in?" Trasey asked.
Charlie pondered this new revelation. He turned and looked up at his Gundam, and then to Jerri.
"Well Jerri, you think I should help out the Preventers?"
"It's your decision Charlie" Jerri answered.
Charlie thought about the future of himself and Pulsar, and then stuck out his hand to Trasey.
"I'm in" Charlie finally said.
Shaking hands, Charlie suddenly stopped.
"Hold on one second, I forgot something" he said, reaching into his pocket, pulling out a small call device.
Pushing the button on the device, he waited.
"What's that for? Another Gundam?" Trasey asked.
"No, just that" Charlie answered as a shape appeared in the distance flying towards them.
As the object came closer, it became clear that it was the Gemini suit from the city. It slowed and stopped, settling down next to Pulsar.
"Lets get going" Jerri said.
***
Lieutenant Cylar scanned the perimeter of Berlin with an escort of Aires. Looking to the right and left, he sent a message to his Aires escort.
"Head back to the city. They may need you for air support" he said.
"Roger that" the Aires pilots said.
The 2 Aires pulled back and dropped off, turning back to the city. Tallgeese 4 surged forward into the clouds. As he broke the cloud level, he abruptly stopped. He heard something. It was a faint voice, but it wasn't from his communicator. The voice was louder now. He could almost make it out.
"Cylar…Cylar…do exactly what I tell you…" the voice said.
It was almost as if it was inside Cylars head. He shook his head to rid it of his voice. The voice remained soft and constant.
"Cylar…take your suit and fly down to the city again"
Cylar felt his cybernetic eye begin to rotate in its socket by itself. His cybernetic arm and the partially cybernetic arm on the other side suddenly gripped the controls tightly and pushed the engines to the max. Tallgeese suddenly dove directly through the clouds and directly towards the city. More anti aircraft fire sprayed out of the city nicking Tallgeese, who was flying at maximum output.
Cylar was struggling with his arms and pulled back as hard as he could on the engine controls. The arm moved slightly, but the arm was to strong. Using all his strength, he pulled back, and it dropped the engines to 1/4th power slowing the suit considerably. Cylar wasn't in the clear yet because he couldn't completely stop. He braced himself for impact as the huge suit careened into the heart of the city and smashed into the ground, sliding several hundred feet before stopping.
"What just happened" Cyalr said aloud.
Checking his coordinates, he found his suit was in the middle of the city, and badly damaged. He then noticed that he had control of his arms again, and the mysterious voice had gone. He unsnapped the restraints, and dropped to the front view screen. Grabbing a machine gun, he hit the release button, the hatch opened, and Cylar dropped out to the street. He pulled up the machine gun, loaded it, and held it at firing position. By this time, a Leo suit had approached Cylar and the crashed suit. Stepping out from under the fallen Tallgeese, Cylar motioned to the Leo suit.
"Are you all right sir?" the Leo pilot broadcast out of his speakers.
"I'm fine soldier" Cylar answered repugnantly.
Standing up, he brushed off his uniform and let the gun drop to his side. He turned back to the Tallgeese, and cursed under his breath.
