.
"Quatre it's your turn to be on
patrol." Heero said looking at a chart.
"Hey Heero, If I was to run into
trouble out there what would I do?" Quatre inquired.
"Well… Wufei is going to be here
on standby. Quatre, I want you to be on alert out there. We don't know what
White Fang might have had left as a contingency plan. We have to be ready for
anything."
"Right. " Quatre nodded. "Thanks
Heero."
"Just come back alive." Heero
said while walking away. "Your too important to the peace between Earth and
space." Heero said walking off.
"Who did you say they were,
sir?" Verra, Vorin's second in command, asked.
"Their codenames are Kale and
Ashura. I don't know their real names. They dismantled Tallgeese. They deemed
it too dangerous for other soldiers. They were the first to use the ZERO
system, even before the Gundams." Vorin explained.
.
"It's none of your business,
Vorin. Keep it that way." Kale barked.
.
"Ah. Space is so beautiful. I
haven't looked at it like this for such a long time." Quatre said drawing in
his view as he went from colony to colony. "I can't believe that less than a
month ago one of the largest wars in history was being waged here. It is too
beautiful to be disturbed by such violence."
"Ashura and I are done. Where do
we start?" Kale inquired to Vorin.
.
"Oh, I wish there was something more to do out here. I almost wish that something would happen." Quatre said fidgeting in his seat. Suddenly Quatre heard a sharp ping on the back of his suit. "What! Who would be shooting at me?" Quatre said turning around Sandrock. When he finished his turn Quatre held his breathe for what seemed hours, to him. Then he hit his communications Switch.
.
Swish, Went the air as
Wufei's sword cut through it. He had been practicing, keeping himself sharp. He
was still practicing when a call came in on the communications unit. He
abruptly stopped and pressed the receive switch.
"This is Chang Wufei." Wufei
said waiting for a response.
"Wufei!" Came Quatre's voice and
later his face on the screen. "You're not going to believe what just ambushed
me." Quatre said as the screen changed views.
Wufei's jaw dropped. He couldn't
believe what he saw. "I'll be there as soon as possible, Quatre." Wufei said,
leaving the communications and running to Altron Gundam.
.
Sandrock Kai pulled out its
sub-machine beam gun and opened fire on the Mercurius suit.
Mercurius brought up its planet
defensors and blocked every shot.
The Vayeate then used its beam
rifle and scored a direct hit on Sandrock Kai. Sandrock Kai flew through space
until Quatre reoriented himself and righted his suit.
Sandrock Kai pulled out its heat
shotels and rocketed back towards the Vayeate and Mercurius. Mercurius waited
in front of Vayeate, planet defensors and buster shield ready.
Sandrock Kai's heat shotels made
impact wit the energy shield and stayed there. Mercurius was doing a good job
of keeping him in that position.
Quatre was expecting Vayeate to
ready its beam rifle, but it made no such move. "What are they up to?" Quatre
said aloud to himself. He then got his answer.
The end of the Mercurius's
buster shield erupted into light, an extremely large blade protruded out
puncturing Sandrock Kai's chest, and then exiting out his back. Vayeate had
transferred its energy source to the Mercurius's beam saber, doubling its
power.
"Crap!" Quatre cursed as he
managed to pull Sandrock away. Vayeate and Mercurius started to advance on
Sandrock Kai, whom Quatre had little control over. "I can't let them have you
Sandrock." Quatre stated to himself. "I'll have to self-detonate." Quatre
readied himself. He brought his hand down to the switch and was about to press
it when Vayeate and Mercurius lurched forward. Quatre stopped. "What?"
Behind them with double beam
trident ready, Altron was racing to Quatre's aid.
"You ambushed him and outnumber
him! Have you now honor?" Wufei angrily yelled. "Maybe I can even up the odds?"
He asked, slicing through the beam saber's new power supply. Altron opened fire
upon the energy shield with his flamethrowers, finishing off the planet
defensors.
Mercurius and Vayeate then
recovered.
.
"We'd better go Kale." Ashura
said. "The others might be on their way."
"Yeah, but we need to cripple Altron
first." Kale said.
"The flamethrowers?"
"Right." Kale said.
"I got the left." Ashura said.
.
Altron again prepared to use its
flamethrowers. But, this time Mercurius and Vayeate both used Vulcans to shoot
inside of the flamethrowers. The bullets detonated the fuel tanks and
obliterated Altron's arms.
Mercurius and Vayeate then
proceeded to depart.
"Come back you fucking cowards!"
Wufei screamed. But, it was obvious they had no intent of returning. "Damn it!"
Wufei cursed. He then flipped his communications switch. "Quatre, are you
alright?"
"Yeah. I'm okay, but Sandrock
isn't. You're not injured are you Wufei?"
"No I'm not injured, but Nataku…
" Wufei sighed.
"How are we going to get back?"
Quatre wondered aloud.
"I called Heero before I left."
Wufei paused. "He should arrive shortly." Wufei punched his control panel.
"Damn it!"
"Calm down Wufei. You'll get
them back." Quatre stopped. "We'll both get our revenge."
Wing Gundam Zero arrived
shortly, and towed them back to the Gundam's headquarters.
.
The Gundam Deathscythe Hell left
its hanger door. After floating far enough out Duo started the engines.
"Be careful, Duo." Came Trowa's
voice. "We can't afford your Gundam to fall to these guys either."
"Hey, It's me. What could
possibly happen?" Duo asked Trowa.
.
"Hell is on the move, Kale."
Ashura said.
.
"Huh, I wonder why everyone is
so worried. I mean how tough could these guys be." Duo mused to himself as he
headed towards the next colony.
Then something came in on his
radar. It was a distress beacon call.
"I guess I can check it out."
Duo said.
When Dou did arrive he was
surprised. There was no ship. "What the Hell?" Duo began, but then there was a
barrage of bullets striking his mobile suit. Not to Duo's surprise it was the
Mercurius suit.
"Let's see what you got." Duo
challenged. Deathscythe Hell opened fire with his Vulcans. Which had little
affect due to Mercurius' planet defensors.
Deathscythe Hell pulled out its
dual beam scythe, and ignited it. Deathscythe Hell then began its pursuit. But,
it seemed that the Mercurius was avoiding him at all cost.
"Hmm. What's this guy doing?"
Duo asked himself.
Then it hit him, a blast from a
beam rifle.
It struck his suit in the middle
of its backside. "What the Hell?" Duo said turning around Deathscythe. As Duo
expected it was the Vayeate suit. "You want some to?" Duo said as Vayeate
started repeatedly shooting his mobile suits head. "Hey!" Within a matter of
shots his mobile suits head was dismembered. "Shit! I can't see." Duo assessed
his situation.
Instead of an explosion, like
Duo expected, nothing happened. His self-detonation unit was inoperable. "Crap!
The first shot must of disabled it." But, it was too late, Mercurius and
Vayeate were upon Deathscythe Hell.
.
"Who are you guys anyways?" Duo
asked while being thrown into a jail cell.
"We're good friends with one of
your fellow pilots. I believe he calls himself Heero now." Kale said while
locking Duo in. "Seeing that you're the Deathscythe's pilot, I doubt these
bars," He said tapping two parallel bars, "will hold you long." Kale stepped
back. "I guess we could kill you, but that would be a waste of a good pilot."
"Yeah. I guess I'm lucky." Duo
retorted.
Kale started walking away. "If
you need anything call one of my guards."
Kale exited the room with the
cell and entered a room where Ashura was waiting.
"There is a message from Vorin.
He wants a report." Ashura said.
"Tell Vorin to cram it up his
ass." Kale answered. "How is Hell coming?"
"I got the engineers to work on
it. It shouldn't take long to repair." Ashura paused. "I found something of
interest."
"What?"
"The Zero-One."
"Wing Gundam?" Kale gasped.
"Someone found it?"
"Yeah. Some salvager was selling
it. I jumped on the opportunity" Ashura smiled. "We will prove our worth."
.
"They got Duo." Trowa said.
"We're the only ones left."
Heero said looking into space. "They're coming for me." Heero thought.
.
"This shouldn't take long at
all." The technician looking over Sandrock Kai said. "Two days max."
"Good thank you Head
Technician." Quatre said looking up at Sandrock. "I have to get back out there
to fight."
"I'll get to work on it right
away." The Head Technician said motioning in his workers.
.
"We've got the head attached."
Ashura said to Kale. "Now all we have to do is repair structural damage."
Ashura paused. "Wing Gundam on the other hand is a mess. It'll take twice as
long to fix."
"It wont shouldn't be long then.
We should keep low profile until they're done."
Ashura nodded.
.
One of Kale's mercenary guards
walked down a hall to check on the prisoner Duo Maxwell. When the guard reached
the cell he was shocked to see Duo Maxwell unconscious on the floor of his
cell. The guard opened the door and walked in. He tried to slap Duo Maxwell so
he would awaken, but Duo did not. The guard then raced out the cell to get
help.
After the guard was gone Duo
Maxwell stood in his cell and looked back and forth. After verifying the guard
was gone he exited the cell through the open door. Duo could only remember a
little about the base's layout. He knew for sure were the mobile suit hanger
was.
Duo quickly ran to the mobile
suit hanger, clinging to the shadows. When Duo thought he was home free a
technician saw him.
"Hey!" The technician said. "Who
are you?"
Duo rushed the technician and
swung striking his face, and knocking him unconscious. Duo then searched his
body and found a small pistol. Duo checked the pistol for ammo and was off
again.
Duo reached the hanger and
quickly began looking around. There were few options for escape. Duo finally
chose a small shuttle, which was prepared for departure. Once inside he started
the shuttle's engines and set them to maximum power, rocketing out of the
hanger.
"I better hide out for a while.
This shuttle can get me to the L2 cluster. I'll go there." Duo said to himself
while punching in the coordinates.
.
"How is Nataku?" Wufei asked,
approaching the head technician.
"Nataku, eh. I thought it was
named Altron."
"It is Altron. Maybe I should
change its name?" Wufei said.
"He'll take a little longer than
Sandrock. That much is certain." The engineer said while looking over some
plans. "The repairs will be simple. It's the construction of the new arms that
will take so long."
"Just as long as I get my
revenge." Wufei said emotionlessly.
.
There was a small rapping upon
Hilde's door. Held walked up to the door and looked out the peephole. When she
saw whom it was she gasped. Hilde flung open her door and flung her arms around
Duo Maxwell.
"Nah. Not me." Duo smiled. "They
couldn't of killed Duo Maxwell even if they wanted to."
.
"Maxwell escaped." Ashura
announced to Kale.
"Sooner than I had expected."
Kale said while looking at some data. "How?"
"He used the shuttle Vorin
sent." Ashura reported.
"Couldn't have gotten far then.
He's probably in the L2 cluster then." Kale looked up from his data. "By the
time he gets back to the others only Wing Gundam Zero will be left." Kale then
began to laugh, menacingly.
.
"Trowa, maybe we should go
around the colony separate was to save us some time." Heero suggested.
"If we did that would save
time." Trowa said.
"Okay then. I'll go around the
west. You got the east?" Heero asked.
"Yeah. Meet you on the other
side, Heero."
Wing Gundam Zero and Gundam
Heavyarms Kai then split into their respective directions."
.
"You ready?"
"Yeah."
"Lets go."
.
"We're about to lose radio
contact." Trowa said to Heero.
"Alright. See you on the other
side of the colony in ten minutes."
"Yeah. Trowa out." Trowa said
while slowly raising Heavyarms Kai's speed.
"Hmm." Trowa thought after a few
minutes of flying. "Space traffic is next to none here. Something is wrong."
Heavyarms Kai quickly raised its
dual beam Gatling gun.
Wing Gundam quickly flew in
front of Heavyarms and fired its Buster Rifle. Trowa tried to dodge the blast,
but it caught Heavyarms on the left of its abdomen region.
The blast turned Heavyarms so it
now faced Deathscythe Hell. Deathscythe Hell raised its arm and fired its
Buster Shield into the exact spot the Buster rifle blast hit. This second
attack over stressed the armor and the Buster Shield punctured it. The Buster
Shield continued to drive itself in, damaging many important components in the
process.
"Damn it!" Trowa cursed. Trowa
then opened all Heavyarms Kai's missile ports, and opened fire upon Wing
Gundam.
Wing Gundam managed to dodge
most of the missiles, but a number of them still managed to hit its left wing.
After Wing Gundam reoriented itself, it pulled out its Beam Saber and rocketed
back towards Heavyarms Kai. Coming into contact with his adversary, Heavyarms
began to fire at it. But Ashura, whom was in Wing Gundam, was too determined to
take him out. Wing Gundam plunged its Beam Saber into the hole in the armor
destroying even more components. Sparks began to erupt from the hole, and then
Trowa's cockpit.
"Damn it!" Trowa cursed as he
slammed his fists down on his control panel. Soon a number of the monitors in
his cockpit began to black out, and then all of them went out. Heavyarms Kai
began floating aimlessly, through space.
.
"Now we'll fly under the colony
and ambush Heero Yuy." Kale said.
"He doesn't stand a chance."
Ashura said with a lopsided grin on his face.
.
"Here they come Heero." A voice
said through Heero's intercom.
"They don't stand a chance."
Heero said back. He then began to slow Wing Gundam Zero. Heero then looked to
his left to see Gundam Deathscythe Hell and Wing Gundam emerging from under the
colony.
.
Wing Gundam Zero then spun
around about to face its adversaries. Deathscythe Hell and Wing Gundam raced
towards Heero. Wing Gundam Zero slowly raised its dual Buster Rifle and started
to take aim. Then there were shots behind the two suits.
.
"Who is that!' Kale demanded.
"It's Sandrock Kai!" Ashura spat
out. "That's impossible!"
"Watch out! Wing Zero is going
to fire!" Kale warned Ashura.
Wing Gundam started to swerve
through Sandrock Kai's line of fire. As he started through things were looking
good. But, then his left wing froze up. It was inoperable. How? Thought
Ashura. Then he remembered getting hit by Heavyams's missiles.
Then he was hit by the blast.
Wing Gundam Zero's shot struck directly on Wing Gundam's Buster Rifle
detonating it, and obliterating Wing Gundam's arm.
Hell started to fire at Wing
Gundam Zero with its Vulcans. All of the hits struck the hand its dual Buster
Rifle was in.
Hmmm. Heero thought. That's
amazing accuracy, almost too good. Heero ignored the shots though and fired
once again at Wing Gundam. This blast struck it in its upper chest. This blast
rendered the Gundam inoperable.
Deathscythe Hell then saw it was
at an unfair advantage. It started to retreat at a high speed. Heero thought
about following, but decided otherwise. "Quatre?" Heero asked into his
microphone.
"Yeah." Came back Quatre's quiet
voice.
"Grab what you can of Wing
Gundam. The pilot should still be alive. I want him taken care of." Heero said
starring off into the direction Deathscythe Hell had retreated in.
"Alright." Quatre said. "Is
something wrong Heero?"
"Yeah. Those two were using the
Zero system." Heero said blatantly.
"What? How can you be so sure?"
Quatre's surprised voice asked.
"Their accuracy was a give away.
It was too perfect." Heero paused. "I'll explain back at headquarters. I'll
meet you there."
"Alright, Heero." Quatre said.
Quatre watched Wing Gundam Zero transform into Neo Bird mode and fly off in the
direction of headquarters. Sandrock Kai reached underneath Wing Gundams arms
and tightened his grip. It then began to fly back towards headquarters.
.
After returning to headquarters
Ashura was taken to the infirmary. Quatre hung around for a while to make sure
everything was doing well. He then proceeded to the war room. Inside waited
Heero and Wufei.
"Hey guys." Quatre said walking
in. He quickly scanned the room. "Where's Trowa?"
"He never came back." Heero
said.
"What? Where is he?" Quatre said
nearly falling over.
"We think he was attacked by
Deathscythe Hell and Wing Gundam." Wufei said. "But, we think he's on the L3
colony cluster."
"He's alive then?" Quatre hoped.
"More than likely." Heero said.
"Where's Ashura at?"
"You know his name?" Wufei and
Quatre asked almost in unison.
"Yeah, you could say he's an old
friend." Heero said as if it were common knowledge.
"I don't care how you know him.
All I want is to fight him." Wufei said, his anger growing.
"You can go see him." Quatre
suggested. "He's conscious in the infirmary."
At that, Heero started towards
the door. Wufei tried to walk past him, but Heero held up his hand. "Let me
talk to him first Wufei. You'll have your chance."
"Very well." Wufei said stopping
to let Heero by. "You should probably talk to him first anyway."
Heero then nodded and headed
towards Ashura's room.
.
"Hilde?" Duo asked out.
"Do you know where I can get a
mobile suit?"
"Duo!" Hilde said shocked. "You
want to go back out already?"
"Yeah. I might not like it, but
I need to be the God of Death again." Duo paused. "It's like I can hear
Deathscythe calling to me."
"Alright then." Hilde said.
"I'll see what I can find."
.
"So. Why've you come back,
Ashura?" Heero said entering Ashura's room. Ashura's room looked like any
normal hospital room, except Ashura was strapped into his bed. Strapped in for
Heero, Quatre, and Wufei's safety.
"Why do you think I am Ar…"
Ashura was interrupted.
"It's Heero. Heero Yuy, now and
forever." Heero said.
"Whatever. You know why we're
here."
"I think I do anyways." Heero
said. "You, and your power hungry partner, want to prove you were better fit
for Operation: Meteor."
"That's one reason." Ashura
chuckled a little. "Haven' t we proven that so far. Four Gundams down one to
go."
"That maybe true. But, you had
an unfair advantage. The Zero system." Heero said sounding almost disgusted.
"You were able to tell, huh?"
Ashura said.
"Yeah, I've only seen one other
person pilot with that kind of precision. I can tell the difference."
"Well you know one half, Heero,"
Ashura smirked ", why else are we here?"
"Well I figured someone had to
have funded you two." Heero paused. "So I checked some records. I didn't find
out who funded you, but I found some other interesting information. Only two
orders for Gundanium alloy have been made in the last month." Heero paused
again. "One was by us. The other was a small salvage garage. I'm headed there
now."
"You'll leave me alone then?"
Ashura asked snidely.
"No. Wufei, the pilot of Altron,
will be here to watch over you." Heero smiled. "I'd watch what I say to him if
I were you. He has it in for you Ashura." Heero then left.
As Heero was exiting a medium
height Chinese man with a sword at his waist entered. Ashura figured that this
was Wufei.
"I am Chang Wufei." He said
drawing his sword. "You will die by the end of this day in a duel with me."
Ashura was surprised at this. He
wondered: Will this man kill me?
.
Wing Gundam Zero's Neo Bird mode
flew out of the Gundam pilot's headquarters. Behind it, on a tow cable, was
Sandrock Kai being towed.
"Remember, Quatre, destroy
Deathscythe Hell without hesitation." Heero said into his communications unit.
"Do you think we'll find Duo?"
Quatre asked.
"I don't know. I kind of hope we
do." Heero said, surprising himself.
"You don't miss him…do you
Heero?" Quatre said a little surprised at what Heero had said.
"No. It's just that. Well he's
too good a pilot to die already." Heero said with truth in his words.
"What do you think we will find
then?"
"Answers." Heero said. "I hope."
"That's right Vorin. Three of
the five Gundams are out of those pilots hands." Kale said to the projected
image of Vorin, leader of the White Fang.
"Then now is the time to strike
them with full force." Vorin insisted.
"I'm not sure. Sandrock Kai
could prove to be a more worthy adversary now. When it was rebuilt it was
customized to the pilot. Much like what I've done with the Gundam Deathscythe
Hell." Kale explained.
"I still say that now is the
time to strike. You have the advantage now is the time!" Vorin urged.
"Very well." Kale said ending
his transmission. He then exited the room and headed for Deathscythe Hell.
.
Wufei walked over to Ashura's
bed and cut his bonds. Ashura slowly and carefully rose from his bed. Wufei
then held out a second sword to Ashura. "I challenge you, Ashura. I demand
revenge for what you did to Nataku."
Nataku. Ashura thought. That
must be what he calls his Gundam. Ashura then took the sword. "You appear
to be strong Wufei. This should be a good battle. I accept your challenge."
Their two swords touched blades
and their battle began.
.
"Duo?" Hilde asked out as
entering her home.
"Yeah" came Duo's voice as he
ran out to the living room. "What did you find?"
"Well it turns out that there is
a Taurus storing facility three and a half blocks west of here." Hilde said to
Duo.
"Good. I'll grab me a Taurus,
blow up the storing facility, and then go find Deathscythe." Duo said grabbing
a duffle bag he must have been preparing earlier.
"You're going now?"
"Yeah. Something is drawing me
out to space. It's like Deathscythe is calling me or something." Duo said
absently starring out the window. He then refocused on Hilde. "Well see ya."
Duo said heading out the door.
"Duo!" Hilde said angrily. But,
she knew no matter what she said couldn't make Duo come back. "Be careful Duo!"
.
"These all you need?" The man
with Al on his shirt said.
"Yeah that's all," said the dark
stranger whom Al had been getting computer boards for.
"These parts," Al began, "Are
you building a mobile suit?" Al asked the dark stranger.
"It's none of your business."
The dark stranger said. Al then looked as though he was about to say something,
but the dark stranger beat him to it. "It wouldn't be wise to be anymore
persistent." The stranger then took his parts and left Al's store.
The dark stranger, Trowa Barton,
wasn't exactly building a mobile suit. He was, although, remodeling Heavyarms
Kai and need these computer boards for the new parts he had installed. Trowa
walked a number of more blocks until he reached a large circus ground. Near a
silver trailer was a large blue truck with a long bed in it. Trowa walked over
to the truck and climbed under the tarp. Inside the tarp lay Heavyarms Kai with
a large panel open. Trowa walked over to the panel and set down the bag over
computer boards. He took one of them out and looked it over. Trowa then
inserted in a slot until it clicked into place. I'll be home within the next
couple of hours. Trowa thought to himself.
Heavyarms Kai shot out of the colony's spaceport. Heavyarms Kai was different now. It was now much darker. There was black and teal now instead of red and yellow. It also now had new weapons. On each arm was a dual Beam Gatling Gun. It had many more missile ports as well. Heavyarms Kai was headed towards the Gundam's Headquarters.
"Trowa?" A voice asked. It
sounded familiar. "Trowa is that you?" Trowa recognized the voice now it was
Quatre.
"Yeah. It's me Quatre. What're
you doing out here?" Trowa said finally visually spotting Sandrock Kai, Wing
Gundam Zero was towing it.
"There isn't time to explain."
Heero now said. "You had better come with us though. We need some help. We can
explain on the way. ."
.
Wufei and Ashura's blades
crashed again. The two had finally begun to feel fatigue pulling at them. Yet
the battle still dragged on.
.
The side of the colony began to
grow hot and began to glow. It then erupted in a burst of energy. Then a lone
Taurus, in bird mode, flew out of the colony. The Taurus flew a few thousand
feet away from the colony and then turned. The Taurus then converted into its
battle mode. The Taurus raised its laser rifle so it was level with the hole it
had made in the colony and fired. Inside of the colony many horrified denizens
watched as a Taurus storage building exploded. But, to the luck of the
colonists the storage facility fell down to cover the hole that had just been
made.
Duo Maxwell smiled inside the
cockpit of the Taurus. "The God of Death is back."
.
Wufei finally fell to fatigue.
He had faltered, and Ashura saw it. During his moment of falter Ashura knocked
Wufei's blade from his hands. Ashura's blade touched Wufei's throat.
Wufei then fell to his knees.
"Go ahead," Wufei said. "Kill me."
When those words left Wufei's
mouth Ashura began to think. He wants me to kill him? Ashura hadn't
really thought about killing him when the battle started. The more Ashura
thought about it he realized something. He had never killed someone before in
his life. In fact Ashura then realized that was because he couldn't kill. He
was incapable of killing Wufei, or anyone for that matter. Ashura then lowered
his blade. "I cannot kill you."
"What? You defeated me! Why can
you not kill me?" Wufei said.
"You are strong. You are
stronger than me. I think I am beginning to understand why you five were chosen
instead of Kale and myself." Ashura then dropped the entire sword. "I am the
one that is weak. I cannot kill."
"Killing does not make one
strong…" Wufei replied quietly.
.
Kale had just received word that
Wing Gundam Zero, Gundam Sandrock Kai, and Gundam Heavyarms Kai were headed to
his base. Kale gazed around his base knowing that this was the last time he
would walk the halls. Kale finally reached the Gundam Vayeate. He then ran his
hand of the mobile suits red paneling. Kale then climbed inside. He
reached over and pressed his communications switch. "Activate Deathscythe
Hell's doll system"
A voice came back to Kale then. "Roger," the voice said.
Pitiful fool. Kale
thought. He was now smiling. Kale wondered how long it would be until all of
his loyal servants would be dead corpses, floating in outer space. Kale put on
his helmet and led Vayeate and the Mercurius out of the base's secondary mobile
suit bay.
.
"Here comes Deathscythe Hell,"
Trowa announced to Quatre and Heero.
"Yeah," Heero said as he
detached Sandrock Kai. "But, something is wrong. I think we've been had," Heero
paused. "It's running on Doll system."
"What?" Quatre said.
"There's not a pilot in there.
It flies in a straight line," Heero looked around frantically. "We're being
distracted," Heero thought for a moment. "You two disable Deathscythe Hell, try
not to damage it too badly."
"What're you going to do?" Trowa
asked.
"I'm going after Kale."
.
"So," Kale said. "Heero caught
on to my plan, eh? He's better than I remembered."
Kale controlled both the Vayeate
and Mercurius with the help of a mobile doll system he had connected to his own
Zero system helmet. "And here he comes."
.
As Heero went to round the base
he noticed a small shuttle exiting its hanger. It had the White Fang's emblem
on it. Wing Gundam Zero released its dual Buster Rifle and ignited its Beam
Saber. With its Beam Saber in hand Wing Gundam Zero
"So much for the White Fang's
return," Heero said aloud. Then he saw one red and one blue mobile suit
fleeing, in the distance.
.
Sandrock Kai and Heavyarms Kai
were both in a deadlock with Deathscythe Hell. Heavyarms was using both arms to
hold its legs together while Sandrock Kai held back it's Beam Scythe. Then Wing
Gundam Zero hit the base. Deathscythe Hell stopped moving and slumped forward.
"Get that back to headquarters,"
Heero's voice said to Trowa and Quatre. "Get Wufei and come find me," Heero
paused. "I'll need help. I'm going to go take on Vayeate and Mercurius on my
own."
"Are you sure He," Quatre began.
But, Trowa cut him off.
"Good luck Heero," Trowa said. "Come on
Quatre."
.
"Ah I'm almost there," Duo said sighing in relief. Duo sat and thought for a moment and then decided he had better call ahead. "This is Taurus, Duo here. Anyone read me?"
.
"Good to see you again Wufei," Duo said exiting his Taurus.
.
Kale began to dodge, but his mobile suit then lurched
forward. He had been hit, and hit hard. A warning message flashed on his
screen; his propulsion unit was inoperable. Kale turned the Vayeate's head so
Kale could see the attackers. He saw Sandrock Kai and the new Altron behind
him. Kale heard a voice over his intercom.
"This is for Nataku!" The voice
said. Nataku? Kale thought "Who the hell?" Kale began to say as his
view-screen lit up with Wing Gundam Zero's Buster Rifle blast.
.
Inside the Sandrock Kai Quatre
let out a deep sigh. "It's finally over,"
Quatre said over all of the Gundam's intercoms
.
.
To say good-bye to one another
the pilots had one final meeting.
"I hope we meet again, Heero,"
Duo said as he placed his hand upon Heero's shoulder.
"I have this sick feeling we
will," Heero said.
Trowa, for the second time he
could remember, burst into a fit of laughter.
"Hey! What's that supposed to
mean?" Duo said placing his hands on his sides.
Heero and Quatre both then began
to laugh. Wufei, however, sat in the corner, in silence. He was thinking about
a call he has received earlier.
The pilots then told each other
where they were going after this meeting. Duo said that he was returning to his
home on the L2 to rejoin the Sweepers. Trowa was rejoining the circus. Quatre
was returning to the L4 to see over what remained of his father's legacy. Wufei
simply said he was going to the L5; he would not relinquish any further information.
Heero said he was going home, and nothing else.
At the same time as this meeting
another meeting, just as important, was taking place.
"Vorin you're going to help me,"
Came the voice of the man. "With your help I will conquer Earth."
"What help can I offer?" Vorin
asked.
"Your mobile suit resources."
"I guess I can help you there,"
Vorin stopped. "What did you say your name was again?"
"Dekim. Dekim Barton."
After Colony 196:
"Ark here." A man said to the
image coming up on his video screen.
"Ashura I need a favor of you,"
the man on the other side of the screen said.
"What, Heero?"
"I know you saw Maremia's
speech."
"Yeah."
"Infiltrate Maremia's army."
"And?"
"When you see me next, kill
Dekim Barton," Heero said.
