Chapter 18-Ten Gundam Pilots
Everyone
heard Heero identify Relena. Serena then adds ,"She was the one that was
basically stalking Heero.". "It's almost 12:30AM." Wufei says,
looking tired "We all should go to bed.". Everyone goes to bed in
pairs, Heero with Serena, Duo with Lita, Trowa with Amy, and Wufei with Raye.
Only Heero stays with Serena in the same bed. Everyone else chooses to sleep on
the floor.
Heero,
Duo, Trowa, Quatre and Wufei wake up at 7:00AM. They proceed immediately to the
hangar to complete the new Gundams. Heero, already having finished the
Hellstorm earlier this week, helps finish Deathscythe Reaper, Heavyarms Seven,
Sandrock Desert and Altron Dragon in record time. Zechs bursts in at 10:00AM.
"I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Noin and I have confirmed
about 1000 Virgo 3's.". "This is not good." says a worried
Trowa. "Since Noin's and my mobile suits were destroyed, the Preventers
can't help." says Zechs, with concern in his voice "Also, We saw
plans for a new Gundam named Nightingale. I bet that Darien went back for
it."
In
response to this, Heero says ,"We're not going to be able to do this
alone. We're going to need at least double the force". "You're not
suggesting that we get the girls involved, are you?" asks Wufei. "I
know that we shouldn't, but we don't have a choice." says Quatre "It
would break their hearts to see us killed.". "I see what you mean,
Quatre" returns Wufei. "I don't mean to make the situation worse, but
the man called Darien Shields escaped last night on a nitrobike. We picked him
up on the radar, though. He is in Okiyama now, probably informing his
superiors." says Zechs.
"We
need to wake the girls up." says Heero. Heero and the others wake the
girls up and have breakfast with them. After breakfast, the girls are lead down
to the hangar. Zechs says that there is two hours left until the Virgo 3's are
deployed. "Two hours will be plenty." says Heero "Ladies, we
have a problem. OZ has made new Mobile Dolls called Virgo 3's. These are even
more powerful than the White Fang's Virgo Mobile Dolls. There are about 1000 of
them now.". Duo, in supplement to Heero, says ,"We know that you are
the Sailor Scouts. We are the Gundam pilots. Since there are 1000 Virgos versus
5 Gundams, we wouldn't stand a chance.". Wufei adds ,"We need your
help." Heero shows the Peacemillion Gundams to the girls.
"Originally, we were planning on having these Gundams to back us up, in
case of emergency." Duo says. Heero shows them the new Gundams. "In
case these Gundams were destroyed." Duo adds. "Since there are 1000
Virgo 3's we are giving the original Gundams to you." Quatre says.
Heero
announces ,"For Serena, there is Wing Zero, with a modified Zero System.
Lita, Deathscythe Hell is now yours. Amy, you now own Heavyarms Kai. Mina, you
have Sandrock Kai. And Raye, Altron belongs to you.".
The
Sailor Scouts didn't have a choice, but to accept. Wing Zero and the other
Gundams were customized with the glyph of the respective planet and a set of 6
Planet Defensors. "Now, we must train you for battle." Heero said.
Serena,
Amy, Raye, Lita and Mina transformed into the Sailor Scouts. Each pilot and
Sailor Scout climbed into the new Mobile Suits. The training was simulated, so
the Sailor Scouts could get used to the Gundams' functions without being
harmed. Everyone was doing fine, except for Sailor Moon, who was struggling.
"Serena, I know that this is hard for you. It took me a while to do this,
but you must learn to master the Zero System." Remembering what he told
Quatre aboard Peacemillion, he said "It's a good system for leading troops
into battle." With this in mind, Sailor Moon knew exactly what to do. She
mastered the Zero System in half an hour.
After their training, the new Gundam pilots were presented with uniforms that resembled the ones that Heero & co wore. The only noticeable difference was that the girls' suits had their respective glyph embroidered on it. Right before everyone left for Okiyama, Heero reminded the pilots ,"Mobile Dolls have no mercy. Be prepared for this.".
