Episode thirteen
Bruce's Story
(Disclaimer… This is yet another Short episode… Sorry, The battle will start in the next episode… then the episodes will be longer, this one is told from third person as the events happened… I suck at first person, and the last episode was very tough to type…)
The next morning they woke up late. After a while they meet up in the hanger. "So what is your story, Bruce?" Dave asked.
"Well here it goes…" He started.
(Twenty-One Years earlier)
Bruce was born in Neo Washington, during the time of hostilities between America and the Sol Empire. When he was five he witnessed a battle, the first battle he ever saw. He stared out the window as the mobile suits battled with a fleet of Goufs. "Wow…" he said from time to time.
A shot from a Gouf hit the colony farther down the wall. "WARNING! HULL BREACH! SECTOR 24-B LOCKDOWN." The computer said.
The airlock doors closed next to him, if he was looking out a window five feet to the left he would have died. As the U.S.S.F. (United States Space Forces) fought off the Imperial forces, Bruce's mother ran and pulled him from the window. "You shouldn't run off like that…" She said, running him to the shelter in the core of the colony, "These are very dangerous times."
When he was ten years old, his father was killed in combat defending Neo Washington. After a few more battles, the Los Angeles Agreement was signed, ending all hostilities between the two countries. Bruce stood at the star port and watched the Battleships dock. He was amazed by their size and by the mobile suits that were going into the battleships hangers. As his mother approached to take him home he looked at her. "Mom… I'm gonna be a pilot one day… watch me… I'll fly as good as dad did…" He said.
She looked at him with a worried look. "I don't want you to go out and look for battles… If a war breaks out I want you far from it… I don't want to lose you like I lost your father." She said.
"Don't worry mom, I'll be the best mobile suit pilot, ever." Bruce said.
"Your father said that too." She said.
Through out High school Bruce designed several fighters, battle ships, and mobile suits. Then when he graduated he went out and secretly joined the U.S.S.F. When his mother found out she was furious. "I told you I didn't want you to go and fly one of those damn robots!" she yelled.
"Mom, we are in a time of peace! How can I go and get killed when there is no war?" Bruce shouted.
"I have a bad feeling about you joining the space forces. Something bad is gonna happen… I can feel it," she said sitting down.
"Don't worry mom, I wont get my self killed even if a war breaks out… you have my word, I'll come back… no matter where I go." Bruce said.
"Your father told me that, I just hope you are telling me the truth." She said, looking at a photograph of his father in uniform.
"I wont let you down… I promise." Bruce said.
Three years later the Los Angeles Agreement was broken with the destruction of the colony where peace talks had been held ten years before. Bruce stood in his home wearing his uniform. He gave a salute to his mother. "You have my word mom, I'll come back when this is all over." He said walking out the door.
"I hope your right," his mother said to her self, "I hope your right."
(Present day)
"And that is basically how I ended up here." Bruce said.
"Well, guess we gotta make sure you keep your promise." Mitsarugi said.
The Ashina flew with the rest of the fleet towards the largest battle of this war. They were about two days away from Sol City by now. Captain Saka came down from the cockpit. "Dave, suit up… its time we move you the Akeda… the rest of your attack group is there." Captain Saka said.
"Yes sir." Dave said standing.
