Last Resort that Saves All
Hiro could now see that the tides were turning. Frustrated because he has never fought an opponent that could match Epyon's performance, he was becoming more daring and more reckless. The struck down with is beam saber, Heero brought up his left beam saber over his head to block. Lock in this power struggle Hiro brought his left hand around to use the Heat rod. In one swift 'parry' motion Heero used his beam saber and had the heat rod wrapped up. Wing Zero moved in so that the gundams were face-to-face, so close that you could almost see the through the machinery into the heart, to the cockpit, to the pilot. Heero began to grin, and that smile began to grow. Heero brought both beam sabers down and turned up his booster. Zero Custom was now in control. He was pushing Hiro back though the city. Finally Zero Custom ran Epyon into large building. Zero Custom was about to skewer Epyon when Hiro made a dash towards his left. Zero Customs beam saber went straight trough the building and could be seen from the other side. While turning Zero Custom, Heero fired with is shoulder mounted machine cannons
leaving a trail of bullets on the buildings. The chaos that the two gundams were causing on the street were monumental. There were masses of people trying to flee in fear for their lives while there was an equal amount of people watching in awe. Epyon had turned a corner for shelter from Zero Customs bullets.
"GET BACK HERE!!!" Heero shouted from in the cockpit
He now charged after the red mobile suit, full throttle. With his arms coming out from behind him like a 'V' and his wings angled with his direction Heero turned up his engines full blast. He charged down the road with windows shattering in his wake. He did not turn down his engines to make the turn after Epyon, instead he put his right foot into the ground and skidded his way around the turn. The trench left behind removed the concrete and created a mound of cars that were unlucky enough to be in the street. Epyon was now zigzagging his way though the building trying to the continues trail of bullets that were never far behind. Hiro was heading in a direction but couldn't go in a straight line because of Zero Custom. He now knew where he had to go but time was running out . Zero was slowly shrinking the gap between them. Hiro had to buy some time. After rounding a corner he turned around and headed straight back for where he knew Zero Custom would be. When Zero did come he was met with an unexpected surprise. Epyon had charged and leveled Heero to the ground. Zero Custom was lying in the middle of the street. Epyon quickly got up and headed back the way he came, trying to get where he wants to go.
"DAMN YOU!!!"
Now the two gundams were headed back though the streets covered with shattered glass, through the bullet strewn buildings, and Heero was madder then ever. Hiro knew that I wouldn't buy him much time but it just might be enough. "Little more, just a little more" Hiro said to himself. Just then Zero Custom slammed into him from behind sending both gundams into then out the other side of a building. When they landed the gundams were now at the edge of an airstrip. Zero Custom stood and towered above Epyon. Heero aimed his machine cannon and...'tak tak tak tak tak' "Damn out of bullets. Epyon turned on his boosters and skidded across the ground to the middle of the air field, and stood. now they had space to fight. Hiro looked back at Zero Custom, Behind Zero Custom he could see the building with the giant hole collapse in a giant cloud of dust and even further back he could see several billowing columns of black smoke rising from the city.
"What have you done?" Hiro asked
"Only proceeding with my mission" Heero responded harshly
"You're destroying the city."
"You brought us here."
"You're killing people"
"They were in the way"
Just then, four fighters who had been scrambled because of the fighting in the city made a pass over head. they circled around. They opened fire on the gundams, two fighters on each. Hiro quickly move to be out of the angle for attack. Zero Custom jumped and rid the skies of the two fighters and their pilots. Seeing the other jets being destroyed the jets made a sharp bank turn and headed back towards Zero Custom. Heero waited for the two fighter who were now firing He raised both beam saber then was hit from behind by Hiro.
Over their radios came Hiro's voice "Leave Now!"
Seeing what just happened, the pilot knew that they were out matched and heeded Hiro's warning. Hiro and Zero custom were now back on the ground. in a small indentation from where the 2 gundams had hit the ground. Hiro was the first to get up. Zero Custom slowly got up with its back facing Hiro.
'Big mistake' Hiro thought to himself.
He then thrusted his beam saber at Zero Custom's back. In one motion Heero turned around towards his left, using his left hand to block, then using his right to got straight for Hiro. Zero Custom stopped just as the tip of the beam saber came in contact with Epyon. Zero Custom was now toying with Hiro.
"You won't survive this battle" Heero said cruelly "Strike one."
Zero Custom took a step back and lowered his weapons leaving behind a small hole where the saber had been. Zero Custom stood there daring Hiro to try again.
Hiro jumped up and whipped the heat rod towards Zero Custom. It wrapped around Zero Custom's right fore arm. Heero jerked back his right arm downward pulling Epyon towards the ground by its left arm. When in range, Zero Custom struck down cutting off Epyons arm at the elbow. With Epyon's arm still attached Heero hand raised his arm and struck down. Hiro was expecting this to be it. The end didn't come. Heero had stopped with his beam saber between Epyon's neck and shoulder.
"Strike two" Heero heard over the transmission lines moved the beam saber away from Epyon, leaving a shallow cut show of his superiority
Hiro backed up in attempts to reorganize himself. No longer having the services of his left arm Hiro had to think of what else he could do. Heero charged with his beam saber extended straight out in front of him. Zero Custom charged in a similar manor extending his left beam saber. At the last moment Zero Custom dropped and slid using his left arm he deflected Hiro's beam saber up. Narrowly avoiding Epyon's right leg, Heero sliced the power cable that ran from Epyon's power generator to the end of the beam saber. Hiro watched as his beam saber died. Zero Custom dug his feet to the ground to stop his slid and used his momentum to bring him to his feet. In shock Hiro did not have time to react and before he could turn around Zero Custom Had the point of his right beam saber at the center of Epyon's back.
"Strike three, . . . you're dead." Heero's laughter filled both cockpits. "Good-bye"
Hiro rolled to his right, Heero lunged. It was too late, Hiro was out of the way and now grabbed Zero Custom with Epyon's right hand. Heero immediately brought his left hand over his right. Hiro dodged towards his left. Zero Custom slid his left arm down towards Hiro. Hiro raised Zero Custom right arm making it impossible for Heero to strike him. Heero brought back the beam saber over his head and was coming down when Hiro used Zero Custom's beam saber to block. Heero brings his sword over his head and slightly down on his left side to strike at Epyon's knees. Hiro just yanked Zero Custom's arm down so the tip of the beam saber hit the gournd. Heero was turnded towards his left. Keeping momentum Heero changed his grip on the beam saber so the the end of the hilt was by his thumb and the blade was coming out the other end of his hand. Swinging around, Heero extended his arm so that it would hit Hiro. Heero dashed backward to avoid getting hit.
Hiro had no option seeing his follies and what Heero had become. He was back to normal and could not let another, stronger terror replace him. An evil like that so powerful and unmatched by anything could not by any measure be allowed to survive. He had no means to fight anymore, and dodging attacks wasn't going to get him anywhere, nor would it last him much longer. He had but one option. . . . Hiro charged straight at Zero Custom. Epyon with his one good arm grabbed around Zero Custom.
Heero laughed. "Is that all that's left? All the 'Great Hiro Yuy' wants to do is dance"
Epyon cockpit door opened. Hiro came out and stood up. He took off his helmet and placed under his left arm. "Its over" he said raising his right arm. Hand in a fist, palm down.
"No!" Heero shouted "You can't do this to me!"
Hiro placed his thumb on the red button and pressed it.
"NNNNNOOOOOOooooo!!!"
For Heero he felt a second of extreme heat then all went white and suddenly black. In a cold sweat he sat up in total darkness, the cold air chilling him. His eyes adapt only to see his room.
The phone rings, he picks up the phone.
"Heero I have a mission for you"
