MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM
Shattered Memories
EPISODE TWO The Nuclear Minefield
"Oh my god". Jeff was able to mumble out his amazement at the extremely large red Mobile Suit before him. It soon became clear why the villagers died and why there were Goufs. The Texas Colony was now home to a Zeon test site.
"That is one big mother fucker". Goudin lay back into the seat of the RX-77 cockpit. It didn't seem like revenge was on his mind. He just wanted to get out of there, fast.
"So what do we do?" Jeff questioned, almost shaking at the hands. "We'll hide this Mobile Suit and wait". "Wait for what? Death? Did you see the size of that thing? We gotta get out of here now". Exclaimed Jeff. "Why? So they can test out their new beam rifle on a moving target?" "Fuck this man! I'm leaving!" Jeff yelled. "Good luck". Goudin replied back.
Not ten minutes after Goudin had dropped the RX-77 into the Mech Bay did a fleet of Zakus pass by. At nightfall Jeff was still around, but seemed to be in a better mood.
"What's wrong?" Goudin asked almost sincerely. "Melissa". Jeff responded quietly. "Well, Damn it man tell me more! What did she owe you cigarettes or something? She's dead for Christ sake". "No! What the fuck? Haven't you heard of respecting the dead?" Jeff questioned with a lot of authority. "Listen man, just forget them". "No, you listen man. You're not heartless like you pretend. What's wrong with you anyway?" "Just forget it. So what about Melissa?" Goudin asked trying to calm him down. "I was going to marry her" "HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Oh Christ! That's rich!" "FUCK YOU!" Jeff screamed at the top of his lungs. "Hehehehe! What? Did you owe her that much?
Christ don't go all screwed up on me, we just saw everyone close to us burn to death for Christ sake..". Goudin pleaded. "Do you even believe in Christ?"
The next morning Goudin was the first to awake, again. He wandered off into the desert climbing some of the occasional sand dunes. Although it was a referred to as the desert colony, the wasn't much sand, just dust and wind. Goudin though, of all the people he missed. He new it wasn't right to think them so much, it would be the end of him. But none of that compared to what was over the next sand dune. Mines.
Goudin didn't think. He just walked, and then broke off in a run. He and Jeff had to leave, promptly. If they were Nuclear Mines, they might as well kill themselves. People on the Texas Colony never reacted well to Biological and Nuclear weapons after what had happened earlier in the war. It wasn't a physical problem, more of a phobia.
Not too far away from the village ruins, Goudin collapsed. It had been three days since he last ate, apparently it was catching up on him. At the worst time too. He awoke in the night by a fire. Jeff had found him and dragged him back to camp.
"What happened?" Jeff asked, concerned. "I guess I just kinda' lost it". "C'mon man. You were half dead when I found you. Turnin' white and stuff". Jeff did strange hand movements. Goudin didn't get it. "So if I was half dead, how come I ain't now?" Goudin asked, almost as if he was planning on dying. "I have no friggin' idea. I dumped water on you and you came back". "That's it?" Goudin seemed almost saddened by Jeffs lack of effort in saving his life. "Yup. So, did you find anything?" "No".
"Sir, We've picked up heavy thermal readings from the wasteland". A young Zeon pilot said speaking into a radio . "What? But, you completely cleaned out that little village!" "Yes. But some Gouf pilots say they saw something briefly on a flyby as well". "Take care of the problem and do not make a report" "Yes sir".
The young pilot geared up and launched in a Zaku II. It was hard manoeuvring through the Nuclear minefield. Once through it did not take long to see the fire Jeff had made. He slowly walked his Mobile Suit over a sand dune. Now seeing them completely in sight, right next to the fire. He tapped the pedal in his suit just a bit to get a clear shot. As a result his entire Mobile Suit fell through the ground into the Mech Bay. It woke both Jeff and Goudin up. They stumbled over to the large hole in the ground they burned for the RX-77 to exit the bay and to their amazement, found a Zaku II. Luckily, the pilot was unconscious.
"We have to leave now. Undoubtedly they know we're here by now". Goudin said with strict authority in his voice. "Damn". Jeff coughed up half awake.
They prepped the RX-77 and left the Mech Bay. Almost like clockwork the twin set of Goufs that almost nailed Jeff left the Zeon base to investigate the mysterious disappearance of the Zaku II. The RX-77 got only so far before reaching the Nuclear Minefield.
"What the hell is this?" Jeff asked angrily. "A Minefield". "How do you know?" "I've see it before". Goudin said, cowardly. "When?" Jeff asked surprised. "Yesterday, before I passed out". "No shit. Do you think they are Nuclear Mines?" "I don't know" Goudin seemed relieved that Jeff took it well. He couldn't figure why he was worried in the first place. "What the fuck?" Jeff yelled as two volleys flew through the minefield and into the RX-77. It collapsed and both Jeff and Goudin went unconscious.
They awoke tied to a wall in a dark room with neon green lighting.
"GOUDIN WAKE UP!" "What? Shut up. I have a killer migraine.." Goudin murmurred out. "Who cares? We were captured! Damn it! we're going to DIE!" Goudin opened his eyes to see Jeff glaring at him with blood covering half his face. "So why are we alive?" "I don't know".
Their conversation was cut short due to lights coming on. A man in a whit lab coat entered and didn't even seem to notice their presence. After about twenty more minutes of writing notes and hanging by chains, the scientist opened a panel on the wall, revealing a large tank filled with green liquid and a woman.
"MELISSA!" Jeff screamed tearing at his chains. "You know her?" The scientist coughed up. He sounded to be a old man but looked as though he was 30. "You bastard! What have you done to her!" COMING SOON EPISODE THREE THE ARRIVAL OF CHAR
