Zoids: Gundam Rising

A Zoids/Gundam Wing crossover

Chapter 5

I do not own Zoids or Gundam Wing

The entire group was at the Toros base. They were all watching as Zack manipulated data going back and forth from the base's main computer and the Peacemillion 2. The group just stared in awe. A surprise arrival was Naomi Fluegel. She was sitting beside Brad; waiting to see what kind of battle plan Zack would come up with.

"So this is the pilot of that huge humanoid Zoid?" She asked Brad.

"They call it a Gundam. And yeah, that's him. He's the leader of the Gundam team. And the only one who knows who keeps interfering in the battles." Brad responded.

"From what I understand, there have been about twelve incidents of those mobile suits interfering with battles. All sorts of Zoids have been disabled, and snatched." Jamie added. Zack was bringing up maps of plenty of locations. Some of the mountains to the east, some that showed the forests that were scattered all over the globe. There was a panicking person coming down the hallway to the briefing room.

"Leena! Leena!"

"Oh no. Harry, just what I needed." Leena groaned. Indeed, Harry Champ dashed into the briefing room

"Leena! My sweet! Are you all right? I heard about the attack! You're not hurt are you?"

"In case you haven't noticed, she's fine, now who the hell are you?" Zack asked as he turned from his work. A map of a lightly forested area came up behind him.

"Who am I? I'm Harry Champ, I'm a man destined to be king. And Leena, for your information, is my own true love!" Leena turned red with anger.

"Harry! I have no interest in you! Can't you get it through your thick head, you dumb ass?!"

"Uh, whatever. Wait a minute, Champ? Champ, Champ." Zack stroked his chin. "Wait a second. You're the screw up from the first battle with those Leo's." Zack pointed an accusing finger.

"What! Screw up!? Just what does that mean?"

"Threatening a mobile suit pilot with a rifle pointed at someone's head isn't the best way to deal with the situation." Zack countered. Harry just grunted. Zack examined him for a minute. "Hey? Didn't you have a Dark Horn, and some Iron Kongs?" Harry nodded.

"Yeah, that's right." Zack snapped his fingers.

"That just might work!" He turned around back to the panel, and began typing away again.

"What will work? What are you talking about?" Harry asked.

"Do you want to help out Leena and the rest of us?" Harry got wide eyed.

"Of course! I would do anything for my beloved Leena!" Leena growled.

"Then congratulations, you've just been drafted for the fight against the Deadman corp." Zack pushed a button on the nearby console, and a high view of forested area near the coast. "Ok people, this is how it's going down." Zack pushed a few more panels, and the view zoomed into the forest. The computer performed a scan for metal alloys; it revealed a square like installation. "We are all going to attack this prefabricated base. The defense systems on this place are feasible, but no real threat to the Gundams. Zack pinpointed to specific points around the installation. "They will be expecting a head on attack by all four Gundams. And that's what we are going to give them."

"And just how is that going to help us? If they know what to expect, what advantage do we have?" Trowa asked.

"Good question Trowa. I was just coming to that. You forget, that we have enlisted the Blitz team, and Naomi here."

"I'm in too." Said a familiar voice. Leena looked behind her.

"Leon!" Leena jumped up and hugged her older brother. Leon hugged her back, and looked over to Zack.

"You're the guy that helped out my team, and not to mention my sister. I thank you. And I'm going to repay you, by helping out in this big battle."

"Believe me, it was no trouble. But whether or not you can join this battle, depends on what kind of heat you're packing." Zack looked skeptical.

"How does a red Blade Liger sound?" Zack thought about that.

"Blade Liger huh? Well I suppose you could take care of the Leos." Zack returned his attention to the keyboard panel, typing in the information of Leon's Blade Liger. He typed in some new commands, and the map revealed pop up launch bays. "We can expect resistance from most types of mobile suits. They have access to Leos, Aires, and even Taurus models. Hopefully that's all they have." The screen displayed the mobile suits in a standard formation. Zack turned to face the Gundam pilots. "Since they will be expecting you, you guys get the toughest job. You'll start out here, to the western entrance from the beach. Be wary though, we don't have confirmed reports, but there could be Cancer mobile suits in the waters. The four of them nodded.

"So what's the plan Zack? Do we go for anything specific?" Duo asked.

"Nothing in particular. Just do what you normally do, Duo. Just raise hell for them." Duo smiled at that. He gave him thumbs up.

"Just leave it to the great destroyer."

"Great destroyer?" Bit wondered aloud.

"Duo's self proclaimed nickname." Bit shrugged. "Moving on. You boys are going to beat the living hell out of them, and more than likely they'll send their best suits. Which is where you come in, Naomi and Brad."

"Um, just why are we put together?" Naomi queried.

"Oh please, do you really have to ask?" Zack said without facing them. The two blushed. Zack chuckled. "After ten minutes of the Gundams wreaking all kinds of havoc on the initial mobile suits force, You Naomi, will be set up on the cliff just a mile off the northern entrance of the base. By this time the reinforcement suits will be deployed, and you are to snipe them all down Naomi."

"And where do I fit in?" Brad asked Zack.

"You'll be hidden in the forest below the cliff as Naomi's support. You are to take down anything that comes near her. I'm sure you have no problem doing that now will you?" Zack grinned at him.

"Just tell me one thing, How do you know about…"

"The feelings you have towards Naomi? Simple. I do have my spies, and they've been observing only the most powerful of teams. And they are very thorough in their reports." The group paused, letting that sink in. "Continuing. Harry, this is your assignment. You and your most heavily armed Zoids will attack the east entrance five minutes after Naomi sets up."

"Huh? That's my big assignment? What good does that do?" Harry asked, confused as he was.

"Simple really. By the time they deal with the Gundams, their forces will be spread pretty thin. And then with Naomi sniping the newcomers, they'll panic. And while that's going on, you cause more trouble for them by shelling their base."

"Oh. Well ok then."

"I just pray that this guy will actually hit the targets." Zack mumbled under his breath.

"What was that?"

"Ahem! Nothing. Next, after 15 minutes of shelling and the other groups attacking, Bit, Leena, Jamie, and you Leon, will attack right on their front door. Right on their main southern entrance, but I must warn you."

"What's the problem?"

"The southern entrance, being the main supply entrance, is the most heavily armed. And with you guys only being in Zoids, you will be putting yourselves at the highest risk. But hopefully, the other teams will have taken out most of the suits, so you'll have minimal resistance."

"Uh, what about you Zack? What are you going to do?" Quatre addressed Zack.

"I will be with the Peacemillion inside Angel, we'll be the final stage of the attack. While you guys destroy their forces, we'll vaporize the base."

"But, vaporizing the base, that would…"

"Kill everyone inside, I know Quatre."

"What? We're going to kill people!?" Leena nearly screamed. Zack instantly became deadly serious.

"Yes, the price of war is life. That's the way it always is. We must destroy every last one of them."

"But, why? How can you be so heartless?" Leena was nearly in tears. Zack clenched his fists.

"Because… I must. For…"

"For revenge." Wufei simply stated without tone.

"What? Why for revenge?" Leena looked at the trembling Knight.

"Because, Zack's family was killed by the same clan that we're about to attack. He wasn't in this whole mission just because he was defending the planet he comes from. It's personal to him." Leena became sympathetic.

"I'm so sorry, but why must we kill all those people?" Zack remained silent for several minutes. "Zack?" With an angry tone, Zack spoke.

"If you want out of this battle, then now is the time! Otherwise, deploy now! We begin the attack in two hours." Zack stormed to the exit of the briefing room, and out of the base to the waiting Gundam mobile suit.
