THE LAST UNICORN
The 5 gundams were cruising through space, their minds set on destroying the Oz mobile force. Soon a familiar face appeared on their screens.
"So y'all decided to join our party huh?" Amy's southern accent was still there. Her gundam came into view as they slowed down.
"Bet we get more Ozies then you guys" This time it was Cara's voice that they heard.
"Your on!" Wufei challenged.
"Ozies comin' at 13 o'clock!"
"Uh, Amanda, that's 1 o'clock"
"Same thing. CHARGE!"
The pilots went at it with a will. Wufei's weapon cut down enemy after enemy; while Cara used her light saber against all comers. They heard Duo yell his battle cry.
"All those who challenge the Shinigami will DIE!!!"
Amy smiled; it was great fighting with old friends. A blast rocked her suit and she went back to fighting. A doll snuck up behind Trowa, Heavy arms couldn't turn fast enough and the blast sent him reeling, as the doll closed in to finish the clown off Cheryl zoomed by. The doll was no more then a smoking ruin.
"Thanks Cheryl." Trowa called after her.
"Anytime Trowa, just don't do it again." Trowa bit his lip to stop from smiling.
In a short time the dolls were all gone. Heero sent his beam cannon into the last carrier. The fight was over.
"We won, we won" Amanda chanted.
"Geez, that was a bit easier then expected." Trowa thought out loud.
"The Mobile dolls we're used to fighting were harder then that."
" What are you getting at Trowa?"
"I don't know Amy, but I don't think that was the battle."
As he finished speaking a bright yellow beam shot out of the darkness of space. Cheryl's gundam was caught full in the blast.
"CHERYL!" Amy screamed. The light stopped and the gundam returned. It was smoking and several areas were slightly black.
"Hey, I'm not fried!" Cheryl said, " but that stupid doll is gonna pay!" Her Gundam sped off in the direction of the light.
"It must be that new Gundinium Alloy Doc was talking about" Heero murmured.
"Oh crap!" Cheryl's voice came over the com system. "Hey Trowa, you were right about those dolls."
They all turned to see what she was talking about. Close to 100 mobile dolls stood out in the darkness. They all had guns trained on the gundams.
"How come they didn't show up on sensors?" Wufei snarled. As if on queue, Shenlong started beeping.
"Alright, let's not panic, everyone take a different route and attack" Amy's voice was calm, though she felt quite uneasy. How did these mobile Dolls get here? They should have noticed a force this big.
"I'm almost out of ammo," Trowa said.
"Me two" several pilots voiced. The dolls hadn't moved. Amy passed Trowa her spare light saber.
"Use energy weapons if you can. No surrender, no quarter given." Heero spoke out. "If I give the order to retreat, do so. Don't argue just get back to L2."
Wufei grumbled something but didn't argue.
"GO"
As the first move was made the dolls shot. Beams of light were everywhere at once. They all did the best they could; Amy kept blocking shots with her gundam from hitting any of the boys. Her fellow Unicorns did the same.
"What the hell are you doing?" Wufei yelled as Cara blocked another shot.
Amy's voice was strained with fatigue and pain as she answered.
"Our gundams have the new alloy on them. We can take more hits then you guys." Wufei wanted to argue, but he knew she was right. It didn't stop him from glaring, the girls were getting the worst beating because they were stopping all the shots, and they couldn't keep this up. His glare changed to a look of confusion as Amy's voice came over the com. She was speaking in a language Wufei had never heard before. The Unicorns obviously understood be cause they suddenly flew into the thick of the dolls, firing random shots.
"Quatre, I need you and the guys to get out of here. I'm gonna self-destruct. The girls are leading the dolls to me." Duo watched in disbelief as she threw away her weapon.
"What are you doing you fool!"
"The dolls are more then likely to shoot an un-armed suite. My gundam has a bigger self-destruct 'cause of my weapon, the light saber runs on a kind of pressurized gas. Now, get out of here!"
The Unicorns were leading the dolls right to her. Duo didn't move, he couldn't, Wing Zero and Sandrock grabbed Deathsythe and towed him out of range of the battle. Amy put her helmet on; there was a small chance of her surviving this. But she'd be damned if this didn't work. As the dolls started firing Amy screamed in pain, electricity sparked around her.
"We're clear Amy. You go girl!" Cheryl's voice echoed around the cockpit.
"Light them up like the 4th of July!" Amy smiled at Cara's voice. She pushed the red button and closed her eyes.
The brightest light anyone had ever seen lit up the inkiness of space, the few dolls that escaped the blast were caught in Trowa's hail of bullets. The glow faded but no one moved. Each was certain their friend and leader (for the Unicorns) was dead. A weak voice sounded over the intercom.
"You guys gonna leave me here forever it's cold damnit"
Smiling in relief Cheryl moved towards the battlefield. Her sensors picked up Amy's heat signature. Racing over, Cheryl got out of her gundam and gently shook Amy's still body.
"Ow! Cheryl that hurt!" Amy's complaints were slightly slurred, as she was only semi-conscious.
"Just making sure your still alive. I don't want dead people in my gundam." Came Cheryl's curt answer.
"Hardee har har."
Carefully placing Amy beside her in the cockpit, Cheryl sped toward the others. Taking off both their helmets, Cheryl gasped. Amy had a cut above her eye that was bleeding freely, and a bad bruise on her temple. Concussion with that bruise thought Cheryl.
"She ok?" Duo's voice had a touch of concern in it, and something Cheryl couldn't make out.
"Peachy" Amy mumbled drowsily.
"Amy, say the alphabet"
"What?! Trowa I'm 13 years old. I know the alphabet."
Cara had caught up with the others and they headed back to L2. Quatre's voice came through the com system.
"Your 15 Amy, and you need to stay awake, if you fall asleep you could go into a coma."
Amy cracked an eye open. Quatre looked down at her from the vid screen. Soon Amanda's replaced it.
"Amy," she said seriously, "If you die. I'm never going to talk to you again."
The wounded pilot smiles. Good old Amanda.
"Where are we goin?" she asked.
"We're not telling you until you say the alphabet" Wufei growled.
"Damnit you people. Fine. A, b, c, d, f, g, h, m, n…um…. oh my god. This is pathetic. I can't remember the freakin alphabet."
Wufei smiled at the girl's frustration.
"Ok, let's try this again, focusing on the alphabet, stupid alphabet, whoever invented should be shot, I feel like I'm in kindergarten, a….b…c…..d….."
"Duo! How long till we get there?" Cheryl asked worriedly. Amy was falling unconscious.
"5 minutes and counting till L2"
"Amy, Amy! Wake up Doofus!" She elbowed her friend in the ribs.
No response. Trowa's face appeared beside her.
"Is she breathing?"
"Yes"
"What's her pulse?"
"Um, hang on a min…weak and irregular"
"Damn" Trowa's normally calm face showed worry.
"2 minutes!" Duo all but yelled.
"Quite duo! We're right here" Cara replied, "Hey, what's this blue button for?"
Cara's gundam sped forward, nearly missing the wall of L2.
"Hey guys" she said breathlessly, "I found the gas pedal."
Cheryl could have kicked herself for not remembering the boosters.
