Zoids: Gundam Rising
A Zoids/Gundam Wing Crossover
Chapter 4
I do not own Zoids or Gundam Wing.
"Thanks to the data Leena picked up for us, I have determined the most likely scenario that will happen." Jamie announced, while the entire Blitz team was in the lounge. Jamie hit a few buttons on the console, and displayed one of the Gundams. "I'm now going to show you each of the Gundams, so you will understand what to expect."
"Would you just get on with it Jamie?" Brad said. Jamie sighed. And turned to the view screen.
"Gundam Model GMS-02X, Deathscythe Hell. This Gundam is based on stealth attack. It's equipped with a cloaking device. And the main weapon is the beam scythe. However, all the Gundams are made with Vulcan guns attached to the head of the Gundam. The secondary weapon on the 02X is called the buster shield. It's attached to the left arm, and it contains a beam blade inside."
"Whoa, wait a second. Beam blade? What is that?" Bit interrupted.
"Beam weaponry is common where these mobile suits were made. It's like an energy sword, but much more sophisticated and more powerful. Anyway, my bet it that Deathscythe Hell will be one of the three they will send out."
"And why do you suppose that is Jamie?" Brad asked.
"Actually, I think it will be to counter you Brad."
"Why me?"
"Because you sometimes rely on stealth sniping from the Shadow Fox, this mobile suit matches the Fox's specialties." Brad shrugged.
"Continuing on." Jamie clicked to the next picture, of one that was red and white, with the twin gatlin guns. "Gundam model GMS-03 Heavyarms. This model is designed for heavy artillery and assault. The main weapon is the twin beam gatlin gun on the left arm, and the secondary are the various missile pods on the shoulders and legs. In the torso are two machine guns, and the last of its weapons is a large army knife in the right arm. I am guessing that this one will be after you Leena."
"Obviously, but I'll be ready for it." Leena got a wide grin on her face, and started laughing. Jamie groaned.
"Don't take this too lightly Leena. You saw what the Gundams did to those Leos." Leena just kept on with the maniacal laughter. The whole group sighed. Jamie went on above the noise. "As for which of the last two Gundams they will send out, I'm not sure."
"Why's that Jamie?" Doc asked.
"Well, the last two have their own specialties, and I'm not sure which one they will choose against Bit and the Liger Zero."
"Well why don't you explain them both, and we'll have to improvise when we hit the battlefield."
"Alright." Jamie clicked in the black and white one. "Gundam Model GMS-04 Sandrock. It's possible they would send this one out, because of its best performance in the sand. The main weapons are the two heat shortels. They are made of super high tensile steel, and have heat generators embedded in them, so it makes it easier to cut through armor. This ones secondary weapon is a small beam machine gun that hangs on its side." Jamie displayed the last of the Gundams. "Gundam Model GMS-05X Altron. This model has those dragon arms that can latch on and cause considerable damage. But there is also a beam trident, and a tail beam cannon."
"This one has a tail?" Bit seemed confused as always.
"It's attached to the back, and the cannon is very powerful." Jamie finished his report, and turned off the view screen. "We also know from the battle with those Leos, that the Gundams are flight capable for a short period of time. So you guys are going to have to be extremely careful."
"Ah you worry to much Jamie." Bit said confidently
"And you guys don't worry enough!" Jamie groaned. "I don't even have a strategy for these guys, because I haven't seen their pilots in action!"
"That's alright Jamie, we're in class S now. We've got to expect a surprise or two, and this is just one of them." Brad said.
"I hope you guys can handle it. The prize money is more than triple the norm in class S. And the battles, as we've seen, are much more intense.
"Yeah, but what about that last team? Those guys were pushovers." Bit leaned back into the sofa.
"Yeah, it's obvious that they were lucky to get into the S class. But these Gundam pilots are beyond anything we've seen, so it may be wise to be a little more cautious Bit." Brad pointed out. Leena was once again, staring off into space. She was thinking of Zack.
"Red headed beauty." She silently said to herself.
"What was that Leena?" Doc asked his daughter. Leena suddenly blushed a deep red, almost as red as her hair.
"Nothing! It's nothing." Doc rubbed his chin.
"So. How was your date with that Zack Knight fellow?
"Daddy!! It wasn't a date! You guys just decided to use me to get the information!" Bit grinned, and got in her face.
"Then how come you were so happy afterwards? You locked yourself in your room, hugging your pillow, right?"
"Do you think you would enjoy life without a spleen Bit?" Leena countered.
"Enough of that you two." Doc interrupted them. "The battle starts in five hours, so we better start loading the Hover Cargo, and get yourselves prepared."
Five hours later, the Hover Cargo rolled along the desert plains. It was an open field, seemingly endless sand.
"Now, I wonder what kind of transport the Gundam pilots use?" Doc's question was soon answered. A large shape appeared in the distant sky. "Jamie. See if you can zoom in on that."
"Sure thing Doc." The view screen came up. The large triangle shaped ship was moving speedily along. "Wow, that thing is bigger than a Whale King!" The judge capsule ripped through the sky, and impacted in the sand below. It pulled itself out of the crater, and opened its hatch.
"The area within a five mile radius is now a designated Zoid battle zone. Only warriors and personnel… Wait a minute!" The judge looked around with its scanners. "Where is the other team? Late for a battle, it's disgraceful!" Zack appeared on the COM channel.
"Take it easy judge! This is my team's first battle. They're just a little nervous." Duo appeared on the team channel.
"Speak for yourself Zack! I'm ready to blow these guys away!"
"Just stick to the plan Duo, and you'll get your chance. More than likely, they've guessed our plan." Trowa came up on the channel next.
"With that in mind, tell me again why we are sticking to your plan?"
"Because this will prove to be your biggest challenge yet. Remember, these guys aren't your typical OZ mobile suit pilots… These guys are seasoned veterans that have mastered the capabilities of their machines." Wufei came up behind Zack looking over the field monitor.
"I still don't see why I couldn't go out."
"I've told you a thousand times, Wufei. This is battle mode 0982. There are only a set number of Zoids. The Blitz team typically sends out only three Zoids. Besides all that, you don't want Nataku full of sand in its joints do you? Sandrock is better suited for this battle." The launch bay on the bottom of Peacemillion 2 opened up, and extended the launch ramp. Deathscythe Hell was the first to emerge from the hold.
"Launching Deathscythe!" Duo Shouted, as the Gundam's engines roared to life. The Gundam flew across the sky, and landed in the soft sand. Heavyarms was the next Gundam that appeared on the launch deck.
"Trowa here, Launching Heavyarms." Heavyarm's engine kicked in, and catapulted itself to the field, right next to Deathscythe.
"Quatre ready. Launching Sandrock!" The white Gundam took flight, and landed ahead of Duo and Trowa.
"Alright Quatre. We are in the middle of the desert, on a bed of sand. This is your specialty. This battle is your show."
"Roger Zack. I'll do my best." In the Hover Cargo, Jamie and Steve Toros looked on.
"So they decided to go with Sandrock? This should be good."
"I don't know Doc, what chance do you think they have against the Gundams?"
"Honestly?" Jamie shook his head. "Not a very good chance." Jamie groaned.
"Now that the opposing team is here. The contest will begin. Area scanned, battlefield set up!" The judge raised its arms. "The Blitz team versus the Gundam team. Ready, Fight!" Brad immediately took off after Duo, the modified laser gun blazing. The bolts of energy were dodged, as Deathscythe Hell lifted off into the air.
"Come on, you got to be kidding me!" Duo taunted over the COM. Deathscythe's beam scythe came to life. Brad's Shadow Fox was looking for where The Gundam had disappeared too. Meanwhile, Quatre had already pulled out his Gundam's heat shortels. Bit was in Liger Zero Schneider, and headed right for Sandrock. Liger prompted the buster slash attack on the HUD.
"You bet partner." Bit smiled, and activated the blades.
"Watch yourself Quatre. Remember, that's the Zero Schneider, and it just activated it's blades." Zack said through the vid COM.
"Right. Thanks for the reminder Zack."
"Buster Slash!" The Liger Zero leaped into the air, blades extended for the buster slash.
"Here we go Sandrock!" The Gundam made a surprising move. It fell on its back, and lifted the shortels above it. The Liger went right through them, its bottom ripped, giving away to the heated blades.
"Argh! Liger!" The Zoid fell on its back then collapsed to its side. Two long slits were left in the Liger. Brad was still busy trying to catch the elusive Duo. The rest of the team could only watch in awe.
"They took out Bit and Liger!" Jamie cried.
"Wow, we have to fight those guys?" Leena said out loud. Trowa's image came up on her HUD.
"So you must be the red headed beauty Zack told us about. Shall we dance?" Leena didn't exactly know what Trowa meant. Heavyarm's gatlin gun rose to the Gunsniper.
"So that's the way you want it huh? Then yes, LET'S DANCE!!" Leena opened fire with all her guns and missiles. The explosions impacted on Heavyarms. "HA! Gotcha!"
"Looks like Leena just may have scored on that Gundam." Jamie announced.
"I wouldn't be so sure." Doc said. Out of the smoke, Heavyarms leaped out. It performed a spin in mid air, and landed right next to the Gunsniper. Before she knew it, Leena was staring down the multiple barrel gun from her cockpit.
"Heh heh, I-I give up." She said, trying to keep an innocent smile.
"Very well." Trowa stood Heavyarms up, and looked to the Peacemillion for approval.
"Nice Trowa. I couldn't have done it better." Zack chuckled a little.
"Come on you little punk, come out of hiding and fight me!" Brad yelled on an open COM channel.
"Little punk huh? Let's see you deal with this." Duo brought Deathscythe right behind the Shadow Fox, bringing its cloak down. Before Brad could respond the beam scythe came right down on its back. Sparks flew everywhere. Brad cursed as the command system froze. The judge got confirmation that Leena had surrendered.
"The battle is over, the battle is over! The winner is, the Gundam team!" The judge locked itself up, and took off, back to the satellite. Both groups watched as it disappeared into the sky.
"Well troops, we won the game. Time to head back." The sensor grid onboard the Peacemillion screamed. "Report!" Zack demanded.
"Mobile Suits approaching! At high speed! I'm detecting about 40 suits!" A technician responded.
"Put it on screen." A view screen came online, and displayed a fleet of flying mobile suits. Everyone recognized the configuration. "Shit! Taurus'!" Zack turned to the Communications officer. "Make an open channel! All frequencies!" The COM officer gave the thumbs up. "Blitz team! Taurus mobile suits are approaching! Get your team locked up, and get the hell out of here!" The lead Taurus pilot came on everyone's view screen.
"Attention Gundams! Surrender your suits at once, or we will open fire!" Zack cut off the audio on the channel. He looked over to Howard.
"What's the Status of the Gundams?"
"Duo's still got 90% of his energy in the beam scythe, but other than that all of them are fully charged." Zack nodded. He motioned to Wufei. Wufei got the message and went to the turbo elevator to the hangar. Zack reestablished the audio the Taurus pilot.
"What is your answer?" Zack looked him right in the eye.
"Just bring it!" Zack cut the channel completely. He looked at the bridge crew. "Everyone get to battle stations! Prepare for an air attack!" Meanwhile the Liger Zero and Brad's Shadow Fox managed to crawl back into the Hover Cargo. Leena however, was still hanging around. Zack noticed the lone Gunsniper still standing beside Heavyarms. "Leena! I thought I told you guys to get out of here!" Leena looked at Zack through her vid channel. "Leena! Those mobile suits are carrying beam rifles! You'll get hurt! Now get out of here!" Leena couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"You're really worried about… me?" She asked.
"Yes! Of course I'm worried about you! I don't know what I would do if you got killed because of this war!"
"Wow," Leena thought, "with exception to dad, no one has ever been this concerned about me like this." Leena looked back at him. He was glaring at her, she somehow knew he meant for her to leave. "Ok, I'll go. But we are going to give you guys some support from the Hover Cargo! Right dad?" Doc nodded.
"Yes, I'm sure we can help." Zack looked angry, but he relaxed after a few seconds.
"Very well, but be careful." Zack cut off the transmission. He went to the turbo elevator. "Hidden hangar, authorization Knight Gamma." Howard heard that, and panicked.
"Zack! Y-You haven't even made a test run with Angel yet! And only minimum systems tests! We don't know what the model UXZ can do!" Zack cocked his head.
"What better opportunity to test him than this?" He entered the elevator, the doors closed, and the lift took off.
"Come on guys! Let's blow these bastards away!" Duo launched the buster shield and it ripped through several of the Taurus' before returning to Deathscythe's arm. Trowa had already shot down a dozen Taurus', but did not come away unscathed. Several of Heavyarms' HUD screens had shattered from the blasts of the beam rifles the Taurus suits were carrying. He had a slight cut on his face from the glass.
"I'm doing all I can, my ammo is almost gone. You guys could help! Wufei had just taking off and was firing down on any Taurus that dared come Altron's way.
"Nataku and I will crush these weaklings till the last one falls!" Quatre was busy as well. Dodging beam blasts, and firing back at them with his side arm.
"Man! These guys just keep coming!"
"Hang on Quatre! There are only 15 left!" Duo yelled. Deathscythe was hovering over the field. "Man, only 20% energy left in the beam scythe. I'm gonna have to talk to Howard about that new generator. Without warning, Deathscythe was hit by a large energy discharge.
"DUO!" The black Gundam plummeted to the ground, and impacted, making a crater in the sand.
"Man! What the hell was that!?" Deathscythe had a large hole in its side; Duo couldn't make his Gundam stand up. Leena watched in horror from her Gunsniper, and looked to the sky. The rest of the Gundams looked up as well.
"Damn! Those three Taurus' have buster cannons!" Duo exclaimed.
"I have to do something." Leena took off towards the Gundams, and opened fire on the Taurus mobile suits.
"What the? What the hell does that Zoid think it's doing!?"
"Leena! Get back here!" Doc yelled through the COM. "Didn't Zack tell you to get out of the way?"
"Cover me dad! I'm gonna distract them!" Doc nodded and locked the Hover Cargo down, and opened fire with its guns. The Peacemillion had already opened fire on the Taurus suits, but most of the cannons missed.
"Zack! We could use one of your brilliant plans about now! They've got buster cannons!" There was no response. Quatre called the Peacemillion. "Howard! Where is Zack?" Sirens went off near the launch bay. The launch pad extended even further. Howard chuckled over the vid.
"You're about to find out." The Gundam team brought their cameras around to watch what was happening. Something large came down the ramp, and locked down into the clamps.
"What the?" The guys looked on. It was obviously a mobile suit, but they couldn't make out the configuration. It was much larger than a standard Leo. Finally it came out of the shadows. All at once the boys could only say this: "NO WAY! A GUNDAM!?" It was indeed a very large Gundam coming onto the launch bay. It had a solid black torso, with white actuators just above the arms and legs. And the "wrists" were solid black as well. The shoulder shields were enormous for a Gundam model. The build of the Gundam was much larger, thicker arms and legs. The Gundam made it into the launch skates. "H-Howard, What is that?" Zack's image came up on the monitors. "Z-Zack! Is that your Gundam?"
"Ha! That's right Quatre!" The whole Blitz team watched as well.
"Wow, that's a big mobile suit… Pretty fancy too." Doc's eyes glittered. "I want one!" The rest of the team fell over. The launcher on the Peacemillion 2 charged up.
"Launching, Angel!" The Gundam opened up its engine wings, six in all, and the engines roared. The skates took off, and Angel flew through the air, right into the middle of a group of Taurus'. Zack flipped a few switches in the cockpit. A bright flash erupted, and the other pilots were temporarily blinded. When the light subsided, Angel was in the sand standing at its full 22-meter height. The group of 8 Taurus' however was all cut in half. Angel had a green beam saber in its right hand. In it's left, it had a large white and gold shield. There were obviously two different weapon systems embedded inside the shield. Each had its own slot at the end of defense shield.
"Zack! You've got more Taurus' heading for your back." Zack looked behind him.
"Thanks Wufei." Zack pushed a button on the controls. Angel turned around and raised the shield to the approaching Taurus'. "Activated shield gauss rifle." The tri barrel gauss rifle charged up, and began firing hypersonic bullets. Each large shot pierced the armor in an instant, ripping all the critical systems to pieces. There was only three Taurus' left. They hovered high in the sky.
"Damn! A new type of Gundam!" The lead pilot with a buster cannon panicked.
"Hey sir! I think we have an angle here! Listen to this!" Zack's voice came over their COM signal.
"Leena! I thought I told you to get you and your Gunsniper back to the Hover Cargo!"
"But Zack I wanted to help! You could use some backup!"
"YOU COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! Those are beam rifles! They could pierce your armor easily!"
"You care about me that much?" Leena asked with watery eyes.
"Of course! I can't let someone go to waste just because of my little war! Especially such a pretty one!" Leena gasped. She had never been called pretty or beauty before. Not even from her own father.
"Hear that sir! We can get rid of that Gunsniper, then he'll be too busy mourning to stop our retreat!"
"Very well! All suits attack the Gunsniper with maximum buster blast!" The Taurus suits flew up and over to just above Leena. Doc saw this, and yelled.
"Leena! Run! They're after you!" Leena froze just as the beams fired at her all at once. She screamed. The blasts all detonated, and dust kicked up all around. "Leena! Leena NO!!" Doc slammed his fist on the console. "Damnit! My baby, she's gone." The dust started to clear up; they all expected to see a totaled Gunsniper.
"Leena." Bit said quietly. Jamie watched the monitors. Then he suddenly perked up.
"Doc! Look at this!" Doctor Toros looked back. He was shocked. There was Zack's Gundam, kneeling in front of the Gunsniper. Its shield had a hole in it, but other than that there was no damage.
"Leena." Zack called. "Are you ok?"
"Y-Yeah, thanks to you." Zack nodded.
"Hey Leena? What say we finish off these bastards?" Leena immediately smiled big.
"I'm right with ya!" She aligned her targeting array, and locked on to the three remaining Taurus'. "Weasel unit, total assault!" All her missiles and guns emptied their magazines into the mobile suits. The leader started to try and get away.
"Damn Gundams! This isn't the last you've heard of the Deadman!" Zack grinned.
"Oh, I beg to differ." Zack pulled the trigger on his grip. The guns on Angel's head unit began taking in energy particles. After a few seconds, beams fired out of where the Vulcan cannon should be. The twin beams pierced the cockpit of the Taurus, and it fell to the sand. "Howard. Angel is going to need some repairs. If it's all right with Doc Toros, I'd like for us all to head back to their base. We can discuss our next offensive against the Deadman with them."
"Huh? What? Why our base?"
"Come on dad, please?" Leena looked starry eyed at her father over the video link. "He saved me dad, I think we owe him." Doc nodded an ok.
"Ok, we'll cooperate. Let's all head back to our base, we can talk there." Leena moved her Gunsniper back into the Hover Cargo. The Gundams lifted off with Deathscythe, onto the launch bay of Peacemillion 2.

"Put it on screen." A view screen came online, and displayed a fleet of flying mobile suits. Everyone recognized the configuration. "Shit! Taurus'!" Zack turned to the Communications officer. "Make an open channel! All frequencies!" The COM officer gave the thumbs up. "Blitz team! Taurus mobile suits are approaching! Get your team locked up, and get the hell out of here!" The lead Taurus pilot came on everyone's view screen.
"Attention Gundams! Surrender your suits at once, or we will open fire!" Zack cut off the audio on the channel. He looked over to Howard.
"What's the Status of the Gundams?"
"Duo's still got 90% of his energy in the beam scythe, but other than that all of them are fully charged." Zack nodded. He motioned to Wufei. Wufei got the message and went to the turbo elevator to the hangar. Zack reestablished the audio the Taurus pilot.
"What is your answer?" Zack looked him right in the eye.
"Just bring it!" Zack cut the channel completely. He looked at the bridge crew. "Everyone get to battle stations! Prepare for an air attack!" Meanwhile the Liger Zero and Brad's Shadow Fox managed to crawl back into the Hover Cargo. Leena however, was still hanging around. Zack noticed the lone Gunsniper still standing beside Heavyarms. "Leena! I thought I told you guys to get out of here!" Leena looked at Zack through her vid channel. "Leena! Those mobile suits are carrying beam rifles! You'll get hurt! Now get out of here!" Leena couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"You're really worried about… me?" She asked.
"Yes! Of course I'm worried about you! I don't know what I would do if you got killed because of this war!"
"Wow," Leena thought, "with exception to dad, no one has ever been this concerned about me like this." Leena looked back at him. He was glaring at her, she somehow knew he meant for her to leave. "Ok, I'll go. But we are going to give you guys some support from the Hover Cargo! Right dad?" Doc nodded.
"Yes, I'm sure we can help." Zack looked angry, but he relaxed after a few seconds.
"Very well, but be careful." Zack cut off the transmission. He went to the turbo elevator. "Hidden hangar, authorization Knight Gamma." Howard heard that, and panicked.
"Zack! Y-You haven't even made a test run with Angel yet! And only minimum systems tests! We don't know what the model UXZ can do!" Zack cocked his head.
"What better opportunity to test him than this?" He entered the elevator, the doors closed, and the lift took off.
"Come on guys! Let's blow these bastards away!" Duo launched the buster shield and it ripped through several of the Taurus' before returning to Deathscythe's arm. Trowa had already shot down a dozen Taurus', but did not come away unscathed. Several of Heavyarms' HUD screens had shattered from the blasts of the beam rifles the Taurus suits were carrying. He had a slight cut on his face from the glass.
"I'm doing all I can, my ammo is almost gone. You guys could help! Wufei had just taking off and was firing down on any Taurus that dared come Altron's way.
"Nataku and I will crush these weaklings till the last one falls!" Quatre was busy as well. Dodging beam blasts, and firing back at them with his side arm.
"Man! These guys just keep coming!"
"Hang on Quatre! There are only 15 left!" Duo yelled. Deathscythe was hovering over the field. "Man, only 20% energy left in the beam scythe. I'm gonna have to talk to Howard about that new generator. Without warning, Deathscythe was hit by a large energy discharge.
"DUO!" The black Gundam plummeted to the ground, and impacted, making a crater in the sand.
"Man! What the hell was that!?" Deathscythe had a large hole in its side; Duo couldn't make his Gundam stand up. Leena watched in horror from her Gunsniper, and looked to the sky. The rest of the Gundams looked up as well.
"Damn! Those three Taurus' have buster cannons!" Duo exclaimed.
"I have to do something." Leena took off towards the Gundams, and opened fire on the Taurus mobile suits.
"What the? What the hell does that Zoid think it's doing!?"
"Leena! Get back here!" Doc yelled through the COM. "Didn't Zack tell you to get out of the way?"
"Cover me dad! I'm gonna distract them!" Doc nodded and locked the Hover Cargo down, and opened fire with its guns. The Peacemillion had already opened fire on the Taurus suits, but most of the cannons missed.
"Zack! We could use one of your brilliant plans about now! They've got buster cannons!" There was no response. Quatre called the Peacemillion. "Howard! Where is Zack?" Sirens went off near the launch bay. The launch pad extended even further. Howard chuckled over the vid.
"You're about to find out." The Gundam team brought their cameras around to watch what was happening. Something large came down the ramp, and locked down into the clamps.
"What the?" The guys looked on. It was obviously a mobile suit, but they couldn't make out the configuration. It was much larger than a standard Leo. Finally it came out of the shadows. All at once the boys could only say this: "NO WAY! A GUNDAM!?" It was indeed a very large Gundam coming onto the launch bay. It had a solid black torso, with white actuators just above the arms and legs. And the "wrists" were solid black as well. The shoulder shields were enormous for a Gundam model. The build of the Gundam was much larger, thicker arms and legs. The Gundam made it into the launch skates. "H-Howard, What is that?" Zack's image came up on the monitors. "Z-Zack! Is that your Gundam?"
"Ha! That's right Quatre!" The whole Blitz team watched as well.
"Wow, that's a big mobile suit… Pretty fancy too." Doc's eyes glittered. "I want one!" The rest of the team fell over. The launcher on the Peacemillion 2 charged up.
"Launching, Angel!" The Gundam opened up its engine wings, six in all, and the engines roared. The skates took off, and Angel flew through the air, right into the middle of a group of Taurus'. Zack flipped a few switches in the cockpit. A bright flash erupted, and the other pilots were temporarily blinded. When the light subsided, Angel was in the sand standing at its full 22-meter height. The group of 8 Taurus' however was all cut in half. Angel had a green beam saber in its right hand. In it's left, it had a large white and gold shield. There were obviously two different weapon systems embedded inside the shield. Each had its own slot at the end of defense shield.
"Zack! You've got more Taurus' heading for your back." Zack looked behind him.
"Thanks Wufei." Zack pushed a button on the controls. Angel turned around and raised the shield to the approaching Taurus'. "Activated shield gauss rifle." The tri barrel gauss rifle charged up, and began firing hypersonic bullets. Each large shot pierced the armor in an instant, ripping all the critical systems to pieces. There was only three Taurus' left. They hovered high in the sky.
"Damn! A new type of Gundam!" The lead pilot with a buster cannon panicked.
"Hey sir! I think we have an angle here! Listen to this!" Zack's voice came over their COM signal.
"Leena! I thought I told you to get you and your Gunsniper back to the Hover Cargo!"
"But Zack I wanted to help! You could use some backup!"
"YOU COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! Those are beam rifles! They could pierce your armor easily!"
"You care about me that much?" Leena asked with watery eyes.
"Of course! I can't let someone go to waste just because of my little war! Especially such a pretty one!" Leena gasped. She had never been called pretty or beauty before. Not even from her own father.
"Hear that sir! We can get rid of that Gunsniper, then he'll be too busy mourning to stop our retreat!"
"Very well! All suits attack the Gunsniper with maximum buster blast!" The Taurus suits flew up and over to just above Leena. Doc saw this, and yelled.
"Leena! Run! They're after you!" Leena froze just as the beams fired at her all at once. She screamed. The blasts all detonated, and dust kicked up all around. "Leena! Leena NO!!" Doc slammed his fist on the console. "Damnit! My baby, she's gone." The dust started to clear up; they all expected to see a totaled Gunsniper.
"Leena." Bit said quietly. Jamie watched the monitors. Then he suddenly perked up.
"Doc! Look at this!" Doctor Toros looked back. He was shocked. There was Zack's Gundam, kneeling in front of the Gunsniper. Its shield had a hole in it, but other than that there was no damage.
"Leena." Zack called. "Are you ok?"
"Y-Yeah, thanks to you." Zack nodded.
"Hey Leena? What say we finish off these bastards?" Leena immediately smiled big.
"I'm right with ya!" She aligned her targeting array, and locked on to the three remaining Taurus'. "Weasel unit, total assault!" All her missiles and guns emptied their magazines into the mobile suits. The leader started to try and get away.
"Damn Gundams! This isn't the last you've heard of the Deadman!" Zack grinned.
"Oh, I beg to differ." Zack pulled the trigger on his grip. The guns on Angel's head unit began taking in energy particles. After a few seconds, beams fired out of where the Vulcan cannon should be. The twin beams pierced the cockpit of the Taurus, and it fell to the sand. "Howard. Angel is going to need some repairs. If it's all right with Doc Toros, I'd like for us all to head back to their base. We can discuss our next offensive against the Deadman with them."
"Huh? What? Why our base?"
"Come on dad, please?" Leena looked starry eyed at her father over the video link. "He saved me dad, I think we owe him." Doc nodded an ok.
"Ok, we'll cooperate. Let's all head back to our base, we can talk there." Leena moved her Gunsniper back into the Hover Cargo. The Gundams lifted off with Deathscythe, onto the launch bay of Peacemillion 2.
