At Logan's base, William is resting peacefuly in his
sleeping quarters. For obvious reasons, it is not far from the training
simulator. A smile spreads across his face as he lays in his bed asleep. He is
dreaming about dueling with Logan in a real battle with their mobile suits. Just
as he over powers Logan to a standstill, a voice seems to come from everywhere,
yet nowhere. Wake up, William the voice says. Wake up! Jolting up from his
dream, William sees his brother standing beside the bed, looking down at William
with excitement in his eyes. "What is it?" William groans as he wipes the sleep
from his eyes. "Our guests are finally here. I thought that it would interest
you a little to join me in greeting them here." "Well they made good time,"
William looks at his watch and looks back up, "they are here a little early."
"Yes, they are. They had to pick up something on their way here, but they picked
up the pace to get here as soon as they could." Satisfied with his explanation,
Logan pulls a clean shirt over his brother's head before he could ask anything
else. With that, Logan leaves William's room to allow him to freshen up on his
own. Halfway to the docking bay, Logan passes by the mobile suit hangers, where
his mobile suit, and Wiliam's, are in storage, he stops in his tracks, and walks
in. He walks up to his mobile suit, the Gundam Neo-Epyon, and stares up at it
from the base at it's feet. "I certainly hope our guests don't find you two," as
he looks in the direction of the Magna-Tallgeese, "or I'll be in a heap of
trouble." He whispers to himself as he turns away from the behemoth machines and
exits from the door that he entered. Back in the main corridor, he coninues to
the docking bay, hopeing William is already there so that he didn't have to
fetch him. Logan manages to get there in time as the shuttle finishes the
required docking procedures. William is already there, standing at the boarding
platform. Logan manages to sneak up beside him as the shuttle's main door is
opening. Licking the tips of his fingers and combing it through his hair, he
stands ready to greet the passengers. As the door swings open, two figures
nearly stumble out in unison. One of the figures is Alexia Yuy, who immediately
catches Logan's attention, and the other is Sandra Yuy, who actually bumped into
Alexia and caused both of them to lose their balance. Regaining their balance,
they continue down the boarding platform. Standing before the brothers, the new
arrivals present themselves. "Hello. My name is Alexia Yuy," Alexia salutes the
brothers as she nudges her sister to do the same. "Sandra Yuy!" Sandra shouts,
forgetting her manners. "Welcome to my moon, ladies. I hope your stay with us
will be a pleasureable one," Logan tries not to blush before the two young
women. No one seems to notice, except Alexia, but she doesn't let on that she
does. "Now if you will like to follow me, I'll show you two to your quarters,
and then a tour of the grounds later on." Alexia closely follows Logan as he
leads them down the corridors to the girls' quarters. Behind them are Sandra and
William, though whereas William is showing a hint of discomfort, Sandra is
nearly estatic. We leave the brothers and sisters to see what Lucas and Xenlar
are doing at Lucas' base, within the communications room. "Dammit all to hell!
What is that lazy slug possibly doing!" Lucas roars at the video screen. "Do you
think that the SilverDart's could be in trouble?" The Cranos warrior walks in on
Lucas' fit of rage. "No. It has to be something else. Half a minute! Today is
the day that the young Yuy's arrive! Damn! Logan is busy, I'm certain of it. We
must leave here and go to his base, with our suits! Now!" Lucas screams as he
runs out of the room, heading to the mobile suit hangers, Xenlar following
quickly behind. It is time, are we ready? Xenlar wonders as he jumps and powers
up the Zenron. Unseen to him, Lucas enters his mobile suit, the Gundam
Deepfreeze. Lucas relays a command to the hanger doors and they open. "Follow
me." Lucas communicates to Xenlar through their suits. Amazed that his
instruments can recieve Lucas' signal, Xenlar allows him to take off first.
Lucas steps out from the shadows, in his Gundam, surprising Xenlar even further
at the human's capabilities. The Gundam's two shoulder wings part, the engines
charge for a moment, and he blasts off at an incredable speed. Xenlar manages to
blast off as well, but has some difficulty keeping up with Lucas. By the gods!
I'm in cruiser mode and I still can't keep up! Amazing! Xenlar thinks as he
stares at Lucas' Gundam. Unknown to Xenlar, Lucas is breathing erraticaly and
perspireing greatly. I must do something, or we're all doomed, but I need more
help than Xenlar. I still don't trust him at all, but we need all the help that
we can get at the moment. Lucas ponders as he pushes the suit's engines to their
maximum output, straining them to the near breaking point. "We must win, we
cannot lose, there is no future for us if we fail!" He roars inside his cockpit,
the emotion of everything that he has ever feared, finally coming true. The suit
blazes forward with raw power and emotion through the martian atmosphere. "Just
you wait Cranos. The harbinger of destruction is after you all. The last thing
you will see is the Guardian of Destruction himself, and the last thing that you
will feel, is his wrath." "Truely a remarkable man this Lucas is." Xenlar gasps
in his own suit as he pushes his engines to their maximum output, yet barely
maintaining a visual contact with Lucas. "All the better, I fear that he will
make good on his threat, and soon." The two sisters relax in their beds after
having taken the tour of Logan's base. Logan showed them almost every single
area possible, almost. "This is quite some place, eh sis? Sis!" Sandra squeals
to Alexia, who seems to be daydreaming. Alexia seems to come back into reality
for a moment. "What?" She manages to regain her composure for that one word.
"You're thinking about Logan aren't ya?" Sandra pokes at her sister. "Maybe..."
But before Alexia could say anything else, Logan bursts into the room in a
panic. "Hurry up and let's get down to the hangers, and I mean now!" Logan
shouts then exits the room and runs down to the hangers, with the sisters close
in tow. The sisters are confused, they did not see the hangers on the trip
around the base, but they follow Logan as fast as they can. Both wonder if the
hangers he's talking about are mobile suit hangers, but they couldn't be? Could
they? As the sisters follow Logan into a large room, before them is an
astounding site. Before them are six mobile suits in each their own hanger,
awaiting for further use. Below one mobile suit, with similarities to the
Tallgeese, is William. The next one beside him, is a large, foreboding one that
they both know to be the legendary Epyon itself, is Logan. Next is a sleek, dark
as death, suit with Lucas at the base. The next two appear to be Serpents, with
no one standing before them. The last hanger holds an unfamiliar space fighter
with a tall monster sitting on one of the wings. The two girls scream in unison
at the sight before them. Lucas approaches them. "We have no time for histerics.
I am Lucas, and time is of the essence here." He sighs as he prepares to tell
the girls their future. "That is our ally, overthere, his name is Xenlar and he
is here to help us fight against his race, the Cranos, who are here to destroy
us all! Now the two Serpents before you are what you transported here, my order
to your father that you pick up these Gundams. Yes, there are still weapons such
as Gundams out there, but that is not important. I know your father secretly
taught you how to handle mobile suits. I was going to teach you further with
these two suits, but there is no time. Alexia, yours is the one on the left, the
Gundam Alpha; and the other is the Gundam Omega, yours Sandra. There is no time
to explain everything, but all our lives are in danger, and we must head out to
meet this threat head on. Now get into your suits." Lucas turns to enter his but
is stopped by the girls. "But we haven't been in real combat yet, and what is
going on around here!" Alexia screams out. Lucas turns to them, and gives them
such a glare that it makes them cring in fright. "You will experience combat for
real now, because we are at war." He turns and enters his suit, as do the rest.
Alexia and sandra climb into theirs as well, if somewhat shocked at everything
that has just happended in the last few minutes, though it felt more like hours
to the young women. The hanger doors open before them. Their destiny awaits them
all.. How will everyone last against the most formidable foe that humanity has
yet to face, only time will tell.
