Chapter two
"This is as far as we can get you, we have to keep guard at the landing pads." A guard said.
"Thanks." Shimari said.
"No problem." The guard said.
"Watch our ship for us, ok?" Mitsarugi said.
"Yes sir." The guard said.
They got out of the transport and saw that they were about four miles from the palace. "Shit, were still pretty far from the palace." Shimari said.
"Well let's start walking, remember, were broke." Mitsarugi said.
"Yea." Shimari said.
As they approached the palace gates a few people looked at them strangely. They could understand the looks from the people, because their outfits were pretty dirty from the junkyards. "Your not allowed past these gates." One of the palace guards said.
"We need to talk to Princess Reiku. It is very urgent." Mitsarugi said.
"No one is permitted in the palace." The guard said.
"Damnit! We need to see the Princess right now!" Shimari yelled.
"Where are you punks from?" the guard asked.
"Junk Colony RJ-4356, Morexia." Mitsarugi said.
"You are a threat to the princess if you came from one of the outer colonies!" the guard yelled, "For the sake of the Tokyo Federation, you are under arres..."
"OK, now I'm pissed." Shimari cut him off, "we traveled across the galaxy to see the princess, and our planet follows all the laws set by the Tokyo Federation. We are loyal to the Federation, and we are of no threat. The rebel factions killed our boss, in an assault on his transport. We must speak to the Princess; you can send guards with us to make sure we don't try anything. But please allow us to see her."
"Great, this is just great! You got us arrested. Are you happy Shimari?" Mitsarugi yelled.
"Just shut up. I was only trying to get us in." Shimari snapped.
"Shut up both of you." The guard yelled.
Mitsarugi looked out the barred window; he could see the spaceport, and their ship out there on the pad. "Wonder how long it will be before we get out." Mitsarugi said.
"Well they are counting us as terrorists so... it'll be a while." Shimari said.
They herd the main the door open and several people walk in. "P-Princess Reiku! Why are you here? Err, what I mean is this isn't a place for the princess of the republic to be... this is a place for criminals." The guard said.
"It's ok officer. I am here to speak to the potential terrorists." The Princess said.
"See what I mean." Shimari whispered.
"Right this way." The guard said.
They walked down the corridor to the cell where Mitsarugi and Shimari were being held. They both stood at attention as the princess approached. "Open the cell." The princess said.
"Yes ma'am." The prison guard said.
"Are you sure that's a good idea princess?" one of her bodyguards asked.
"I'll be fine." She replied.
They opened the cell and the princess walked in. "Why did you two travel so far to see me? All people from the outer most colonies are considered threats. There are very few loyal colonies. I don't think you two are terrorists, what are your names?" she asked.
"I'm Shimari Tataki." Shimari said.
"And I'm Mitsarugi Yakashi." Mitsarugi said.
"Now, my guards say you wished to speak with me. What is it that you needed to tell me?" she asked.
"I know that you are aware of the rebel attacks on Federation Loyal craft in the outer colonies. We decided to fight when the transport carrying our boss, the man who kept us in line, and raised us since we were 13. We had found two Mobile Suits in the junk heap, both were in pretty bad condition, but we rebuilt them, and now we are here, to help defend the Tokyo Federation, even if we die in the process." Mitsarugi said.
"I see, so you two are not terrorists after all. Well I guess you may go free. Your Mobile Suits will be transported to the military base in Hiroshima." She said as she stood, "good luck."
"Thank you." They said.
A hover transport took them from the prison in Tokyo to the base at Hiroshima. When they arrived they saw their mobile suits being inspected, cleaned, and ammo loaded. Distant explosions were then heard. As sirens blared a voice came over the loud speakers. "Alert! Tokyo is under attack! All able pilots mobilize ASAP! This is not a drill!" the voice yelled.
Shimari and Mitsarugi ran to their mobile suits and suited up. "Osano, registration complete. Proceed to combat." The radio controller said to Mitsarugi.
"Roger." Mitsarugi replied, and then left.
"Katana, registration complete, proceed to combat." The controller said to Shimari.
"Roger." Shimari replied.
The enemy mobile suits were attacking the palace. "Incoming Federation mobile suits." An Enemy pilot shouted.
The Enemy Gustavs turned from attacking the palace to fight the mobile suits. "What the hell? Look at those two suits! They are in bad condition already. Focus attacks on the craft in better condition; the damaged ones aren't as severe of a threat. ATTACK!" one of the Gustav pilots yelled.
Shimari charged with a head-on attack with the energy whip, he struck down two Gustavs, and then drew his beam sword. "LEAVE THE PALACE ALONE!" Shimari yelled, attacking at full force.
"What the he... AHHH!" a Gustav pilot yelled as he was destroyed.
"Wait a second, if this war broke out with the colonies... why are we fighting the Imperial army?" Mitsarugi said, "shouldn't this battle be with the rebel factions?"
"They are retreating!" yelled one of the federation pilots, "We won!"
"For now, return to base for repairs, we will have a defense force around the palace at all times now." The commanding officer stated.
On a television network broadcasted throughout the federation controlled areas, Princess Reiku addressed her nation on the war with the outer colonies, and the new war with the Imperial forces. "Loyal people of the Federation, our nation of peace has plunged into civil war, the outer colonies, at least most of them have betrayed us, now they seek independence. But at this time of chaos in our nation, the Imperial forces decided to launch a war against us. In this time of great need, all able soldiers that are loyal to the federation, please join the fight to return peace to our nation." The princess stated, "The Empire has broken the terms set by the Okinawa Agreement, set in place shortly after the Earth System Wars ended. Today, the agreement set in 0141 S.A. has been voided. This war is now inevitable... The Imperial army has attacked our capitol with out warning. We need all the help we can get. The idea that had lasted for centuries of worldwide pacifism has been destroyed. Now we must fight to return the peace. Thank you for your time."
Her message reached out to the farthest reaches of the Federation. From the smallest transports, to the larges colonies, and every thing in between. Princess Reiku was escorted from the severely damaged palace.
A rebel group was preparing an attack on an American colony that orbited Saturn. The colony was known as New Los Angeles Part of the remains of the United States. In the Earth System wars, the America was all but wiped out. The part of the country on earth was taken over and is now part of the Sol Empire Now only a few colonies remain. As the rebel mobile suits moved in for their assault, the Imperial forces looked on, they wanted the war. So they could have complete control over all factions. The few mobile suits that were there to defend New L.A. were outnumbered. They colony was over run quickly and destroyed.
"Princess, America has been attacked by the rebel factions!" a guard said.
"Really? That is not good. Which colony was it?" she asked.
"New L.A. It's been completely destroyed." The guard said.
"Try and get a link into the President of the United States." She said.
"Yes ma'am." The guard responded.
"This is not just a war to stop a revolution, this is for galactic pacifism." She said to her self.
"Huh?" a kid said.
"The princess needs your help kid, get up!" the guard said.
"But I don't wanna." The kid responded.
"We need a link set up to the President of the United States! Yosho Haniko, you must wake up!" the guard said.
"Fine I'm up, I'm up." Yosho said sitting.
He was a kid of about fourteen years of age, but already the best hacker alive. Both his parents were hackers, and they thought him. And now he is the best. He put on a pair of jeans and a gray tee shirt, grabbed his laptop, and walked out into the corridor. "Why aren't you wearing your uniform?" the guard asked.
"I don't feel like it." Yosho replied.
They walked down to the control room where the princess waited. "Mr. Haniko, thank you for helping." She said.
"You can call me Yosho, I'm to young to be a 'Mr.' Right now." He said.
"Ok. Can you set up a link to the president?" she asked.
"Sure." He said, linking his laptop into the main computers.
He put his headphones on and started to play his music. He only worked with loud Heavy Metal playing. He started typing on two computers. After about two minutes he took his head phones off and spun around to the princess. "The call is going through to Neo Washington." Yosho said.
"Thank you." The princess responded.
On the main vid-link the president appeared. "Hello?" he stated.
"President Nicholson, I am Princess Reiku Ikeda of the Tokyo Republic." She said, "I have found out that your colonies have fallen under assault by the revolutionaries from the outer colonies. We wish for you to join us in fighting this war to bring peace to the galaxy."
"I agree to helping you, but we don't have many mobile suits, we mainly have pilots." The president said.
"Tokyo has been attacked by the Sol Empire. We fought their forces away, and we will do the same for your colonies." The princess said.
"Thank you, this war will be won by our forces, and galactic pacifism will become a reality." The president said, "but I must be leaving, I have to address our nation on the destruction of New Los Angeles. Good luck princess Reiku." He said.
"Good luck." She replied as the connection terminated.
"What the hell are you doing?" Mitsarugi yelled, "don't touch my mobile suit!"
"But this suit needs repairs, I can tell by looking at it." A mechanic said.
"No it doesn't! I built it out of junkyard parts! It is in peak condition, it just doesn't look like it! Now don't touch!" Mitsarugi screamed.
"Ok, ok! Don't Spaz!" the mechanic said walking away.
"Dude chill out. He was only trying to help." Shimari said.
"Well they can help by not touching the suit." Mitsarugi said.
"Attention! Princess Reiku is coming here to brief you pilots." The commander said.
"So the princess is coming here, wonder if she'll remember us." Shimari said to Mitsarugi.
"Same here." Mitsarugi said.
"I said attention, why are you two sitting and talking?" the commander yelled.
"Well mainly because we aren't personnel of the Federation military yet, so you have no authority over us. Only Princess Reiku does." Shimari replied.
"You need to learn some discipline!" the commander yelled.
"That won't be necessary, Commander Otomo." The princess yelled.
"Princess Reiku!" he said turning, "I'm honored to be in your presence!"
"Thank you. At ease everyone." She started, "the rebel factions have attacked and destroyed Saturn colony R46-238, New Los Angeles. We now have the United States of America on our side, but we need pilots to help them. Rebel forces are moving on to the Jupiter region, to attack Neo Washington. We need our best pilots to help defend the capitol of America. Their forces are not strong enough to defend alone. They are our allies, who would like to help in this cause?"
Several soldiers stepped forward. "Why not." Shimari said, standing up.
"I'm game." Mitsarugi said standing.
"Oh... hello Shimari, Mitsarugi." She said. "Now all of you prepare to board the Ashina, that will take you and your mobile suits to Neo Washington. Good luck men, and god speed."
The troops saluted and boarded their mobile suits. They boarded the Ashina and took off.

Mitsarugi: Don't miss it!
