Chapter Nine

New Suits and New Gundam

(Hiroshima base)

Captain Saka approached the pilots waiting for their new mobile suits. "The new mobile suits are nearly complete. You guys ready to see them?" he said.

"Yea." The pilots said together.

The walked down a corridor to the hanger where the suits were being held. The first suit they saw was completed. "Tataki, that is your suit." An engineer said pointing to the complete suit

"Some of the components are the same as your first mobile suit. You have an energy whip, energy blades, a beam sword, and a long-range rifle. Anaheim Electronics designed the new control system." A man said approaching. (Ok why mess with perfection there… so Anaheim stays)

He wore white pants, a white shirt, a lab coat, glasses, and had a handgun in a holster on his belt. "This is Ryu Yamehsi, he is the weapons expert at Anaheim." Captain Saka said.

"The next suit that was completed is for Bruce Benson. This suit has a high powered shoulder bazooka, a beam sword, and a long range rifle." Ryu said.

"Sweet." Bruce responded.

"After that, we have the Mobile suit that was built for Mitsarugi Yakashi. It comes equipped with a beam sword, energy blades, shoulder cannons, and a long range rifle." Ryu said, "An Eppo Delta has a suit similar to his original. But, it is a Gundam class mobile suit."

"Whoa! He gets a Gundam?" Mitsarugi asked surprised.

"Why do we only have mobile suits and he gets a Gundam?" Shimari asked.

"Yes he gets a Gundam. Because, he has been military since he was born. And he is more trained to pilot one then you guys." Ryu replied, "It comes equipped with a Beam cannon, a short range blaster, and the Titanium Katana that you prefer."

"WARNING!" the computer said as alarms went off, "ENEMY MOBILE SUITS INCOMING!"

"Shit! All units get suited up!" Captain Saka yelled.

They ran to their mobile suits and suited up. They powered up the systems and moved out of the hanger. "Rebels! Should have known." Bruce said.

They watched as the suits landed on the shore. The suits were battered and damaged. "Hey those are the same Zaku's that shot us down!" Shimari yelled.

"You destroyed my last mobile suit, now you are in your final mobile suit!" Mitsarugi yelled, unleashing a barrage of shell from the shoulder cannons.

Two Zakus were destroyed, but there were four more remaining. Shimari Charged ripping two apart with the energy whip. Then Eppo cut one down through the top of his head. And Bruce blasted one with his rifle. The battle was a short one, but there were more to come.

(Tokyo)

"Emperor Yamato… Why must our countries be at war? The Federation is a peaceful country. We only fight when our peace is threatened. Now revolution has swept through the federation's colonies. And your forces have attacked federation controlled areas." Princess Reiku said through the comlink to the emperor of the Sol Empire.

"You are just a mere child princess. You cannot comprehend the reasons of our war with you. We are a growing empire, and you are much larger. But in the time of civil war, your civilization will be much weaker, and we will crush you and dominate the galaxy." Emperor Yamato said.

"If you truly wish for war, we will be forced to crush your empire. I am a leader of peace, I do not wish for war. But, I guess it is inevitable." She said before she cut off the link to Sol City.

"Princess, so we are truly at war with the Sol Empire?" Yosho asked spinning towards her in his chair.

"Yes, my ancestors kept the peace between the Sol Empire and our Federation, but now that ancient peace is gone." She said, "Send notice out to all bases for a massive offensive. We will crush this fight with one blow… We will destroy Sol City."

(Hiroshima)

"Attention all units, report to the briefing room at once." The commander of the base said.

"Wonder what's going on." Shimari said.

They reached the briefing room and sat down. The princess was on the main vidlink. "Soldiers of the Federation, I am sorry to report that negations with the Sol Empire have failed. We are at war with them, the reason I am speaking to you is that I wish for all of you to prepare for a massive offensive. An offensive that will crush the empire. The target of this attack is Sol City. Do what you must to reach this goal, but good luck." She said.

(Few days later)

A large diagram of the space colony that became the capitol of the Sol Empire was on the main screen. "This is Sol City." Captain Saka said, "The Federation Space Fleet will be moving out from all posts in exactly one month, there will be a group of Pilots on a separate mission within Sol City. Their job will be to destroy the generator, which will in turn destroy most of the colony. David Sutherland, you are already a decorated pilot from the U.S.S.F. You will lead this operation to destroy the core, the other main pilot on that mission is Bruce Benson."

"Yes, we have nearly completed Gundam unit two. David, you will pilot it in the battle." Ryu said.

"Cool. So I can go at the core any way I want to?" David asked.

"Yes, you will build your own strategy to take out the generator. As you can see the generator is a massive tower in the center of Sol City. We must strike when they least expect it. For the newest team of pilots, the 45th MS team, which will be split apart. These pilots will fly together on most missions. I congratulate the two newest pilots to that team and the Federation Space Forces. Mitsarugi Yakashi and Shimari Tataki. The other members of this team are as follows… Eppo Delta, Bruce Benson, Miho Musaka as a control worker, if she wishes to help," The captain said.

"Yes I will help." Miho said, "I would be honored."

"Thank you, the other members are David Sutherland, and a tech support assigned by the princess, Yosho Haniko. We must go and prepare for this battle, dismissed. 45th, I'd like to have a word with you guys."

Everyone else left, except the pilots in the 45th MS team. "So what did you want to say to us?" Mitsarugi asked.

"All I need to say is that you have your own command base that will be set up in a week." The captain replied.

"Really? Where is it?" Shimari asked.

"Some of you know this place well, it is in the Musaka junkyard, in the bottom of the warehouse." The captain replied.

"Whoa, Mr. Musaka is letting you build a base… In his junkyard?" Mitsarugi asked.

"You know, Mitsu, my dad isn't that cruel…" Miho said.

"He could've fooled me for the past ten years." Mitsarugi responded.

"If he were you would still be drifting around in that little pod somewhere in space." Miho said.

"Cool it you two, a junk transport will be arriving to take your mobile suits and supplies for the base, we cannot use the Ashina due to keeping this base hidden. The transport should be here in about two hours, prepare to depart." Captain Saka said, "Dismissed."

The pilots walked to their suits. "45th MS TEAM, BOARD THE TRANSPORT NOW." The Intercom system said.

"Shit, there here already? Didn't the captain say two hours?" Dave said.

"Oh well. Lets get on the transport. Miho you wanna ride in one of the mobile suits?" Mitsarugi said.

"Sure, I'll ride with you." She said. As she and Mitsarugi boarded the elevator to his cockpit.

"I name this suit the Stormsoarer…" Mitsarugi said.

"Mine's the Katana Two." Shimari said.

"I'll call mine the outlaw." Bruce said.

"I name mine the Rei Asani." Dave said.

"Mine has been named the Kagishima II." Eppo said.

"Hey Dave what's with the odd name?" Mitsarugi asked.

"It's nothing really, but Rei Asani was a girl I loved, then she was killed an a fight between the police and the Iacavone Family back in Neo New York." Dave replied.

"Oh I'm sorry." Miho said, "That's a sad story."

"That's why I helped you out Miho, that creep that was bothering you in that bar, he works for Iacavone, that creep is always causing trouble." Dave said, "I heard some punk captured Big Eric Iacavone."

"That would be Eppo…" Shimari said.

They boarded the transport and set out for Morexia. Soon the most important battle of this war would happen, and they were ready.

(End Chapter Nine)

Bruce: hi Bruce here, so now we have a command base, but I'm ready to fight now! Soon we will be landing in Morexia and building a command base. Next Chapter: the battle on Morexia.

Bruce: Don't Miss it!
