Chapter 19-Return of the
Gundams
Traveling
in the Gundams to Okiyama took about 15 minutes. Suddenly, a wave of Virgos
appeared. Wing Zero and Hellstorm counted them and came up with a figure of
100. "100 Mobile Dolls. That's 10 each. This should be a good test of our
skills." Serena said, informing everyone.
Splitting
into two groups, the Gundams easily sliced their way through the Virgo 3's.
Even for the girls, 10 Virgos was pretty easy. The Sailor Scouts adapted very
well to their Gundams. Sailor Moon was a very competent leader. She wasn't even
using the Zero System, because it was very stressful on her.
"Correction.
That was only a first wave." says Trowa "There are 200 in the second
wave, 300 in the next wave and 400 guarding the OZ base.". "That's
just great." says Duo. "Evidently they didn't see it fit just to
increase the number. They also made them harder to fight.". "Damn it,
OZ." says Serena, slicing a Virgo in half. Knowing that the stakes were
higher, the Gundams divided themselves into five pairs, working back to back,
destroying the Mobile Dolls two at a time.
"Here
comes the third set." says Raye. This time, there were 30 Virgos to each
Gundam. With the higher difficulty in mind, Heero says to everyone
,"Activate your shield systems and group together in threes. Everyone did
this and combined their Planet Defensor shield, forming an 18-point shield and
a 24-point shield. The Virgos did the same thing. But through sheer
persistence, the Gundams slashed their way through.
About 2/3 of the way finished with the third set of Mobile Dolls, the final wave appeared, even stronger than the last. Then, the Nightingale appeared off to the right side. Heero immediately went after Darien, telling Sailor Moon ,"You stay here. Someone needs to lead the Gundams.". Serena was hesitant to use the Zero System. She finally snapped when she was hit hard from behind. "If we don't have a plan of our own, we're going to be destroyed." she thought. In a desperate attempt, she put in the word ZERO to activate the Zero System. She then turned into a leader worthy of the Wing Zero. She led the other Gundams very well, predicting each of the Virgos programmed moves. At one point or another, Duo, Trowa, Quatre and Wufei came to the rescue for Lita, Amy, Mina and Raye. After the remaining Virgo 3's were destroyed, she saw the Hellstorm fighting the Nightingale. She knew Heero was struggling.
