This Chapter is gonna have some actual action in it between mobile suits and the such. Please review this story! I'm loosing the will to write here! OK, now for the next chapter:
Sea Monsters and Poptarts
The land shook violently around the crashing feet of the marching Federation Mobile Suits as they plodded towards their destination being followed by the teams lone hovertruck. Xander was munching absentmindedly on a poptart staring out at the endlessly flat wasteland around the colony impact zone. All where silent with none of the usual banter going over the radio, communications silence really sucked considering that stray minofski particles blocked practically all signals to would be easdroppers.
This mission sucked, no ifs, ands or buts. It reaked of suicide mission, and one that if it actually succeded the troops would get no recognition and the officer who made the orders would get a nice fat promotion. 'God I hate politics, especially when its inner military politics' Xander thought. He scanned the diagnostics panel critically, looking for any sort of malfunction in his suit, 'better to be safe then sorry when you have to enter a battle' His train of thought was derailed as Sam spoke over the units comm channel.
"Sir, sorry to break radio silence, but I think I see the gau carrier ahead" Xander stared at his moniter seeing only a fuzzy purple blotch on screen, he clicked the comm switch and spoke outloud "Snipe, Emily, trace your sensors on the these corordinates, then send a video feed to me and the others" two yes sirs later and he was staring at a much better image of the carrier. What he saw was rather disturbing,. The carrier was crashed at the end of a long furrow in the ground that was at least 3000 feet long, obviously created from the crash landing. The site itself was no farther then a thousand feet from the ocean shore. There was bits and pieces of the Gau's purple hull scattered everywhere mingled with some of the shattered remains of the colony, along the path of the crash site as well as one of the planes enourmous wings. There where the burned out remains of fighters, federal forces and Zeon alike scattered about the area. But most disturbing of all was the random human body, one way or another, the majority if not all of the crew had died in the crash. He zoomed in on the hulk of the carrier itself and let out a short whistle
" Damn that things thrashed, guess the intelligence report was wrong about it being mostly intact. Looks as if the cargo hold is still intact though. Natalia, you and I will go in to investigate, Emily come into firing range of the Gau, try to find some cover, theres some pieces of the colony here and there so check those out, snipe, stay here and cover us. Mark, take the truck to the shore and do a quick active sonar search, alright, lets go. The team spread out as ordered and he and Natalia started aproaching the wreck. Xander arrived first and started his examiniation. "Looks like multiple missle hits along the side here, alot of them are around the area where the wing meets the fuselage, explains why it tore off." He moved the GM to the rear of the wreck and looked at the cargo door. It resembled a burst soda can, sheets fo metal torn up into jagged strips resembeling some sort of horrible monsters gaping mouth. Xander tried to peer into the gaping maw but it was too dark. "Natalia, I'm switching to night vision, Watch my back." He flicked the appropriate switch and once again looked into the hanger.
" This is not good, theres no Mobile Suits in here except for the YMS-14A parts, but it looks like theres enough parts to construct two MS in here......wait a minute..." Something suddenly clicked in Xanders mind, The hanger was completly undamaged, the door was smashed out but theres no sign of an explosion, and theres no MS detected..... "Everybody look alive, its a Trap!!!!" As he stated this Several things happened at once. A mobile suit resembeling a sea monster jumped from the ocean landing on the shore and kicked the hover truck causing it to break into two. Two Dom Tropens burst from the sand shedding their camo nets and opened fire on Snipe and Emily. And then a Zaku jumped out from one of the holes in the fuselage and started firing its weapon at Xander. "OH SHIT!!" Emily screamed as a rocket came flying at her. She instinctivly jammed the thruster throttle to full power and sped out of the rockets path. The Dom continued to track her and fired another round. This one impacted and destroyed her shield but she had enough time to get the GM's Cannon aimed at the quickly aproaching Dom. She fired two quick salvos but niether hit. The Dom was only 500 feet in front of her as he discarded his rocket launched and pulled out its heat rod.
" You die now feddie!" The pilot yelled over the radio. "After you" she coldly replied. The Dom took a vertical swing at her but she just managed to dodge it. She made the GM bunch its hand into a fist and violently punched in the Dom mono eye. The pilot realizing that he was screwed swung horizontal slash and cut off the top of the GM's Head. Emily grunted in pain as one of her moniters blew up sending shards of glass everywhere. The pain caused an instant of diorientation that made Emily Mis-balance the GM and it fell onto its back. Her back up camera came online just in time to see the Dom bring its hear rod above its head to finish her off.
"Burn in HELL!!!!" The pilot screamed, Emily calmly retorted "I already told you after you" The Dom pilot had had the advantage, he ambushed her, was faster and more manuverable then the GM and the pilot was obviously better at melee combat. But he forgot one thing, her shoulder cannons.....
The Gogg Pilot stood over the wreckage of the hover truck and turned its gaze towards the fallen GM Cannon just in time to see its dual 240 MM cannons fire at point blank range at the Dom. The Rounds actually tore cleanly through the Doms mid section, killing the pilot instantly. The Dom crumpled forward and collapsed onto the GM preventing it from moving. "Simon......." The Gogg pilot muttered "You bastards killed SIMON!!!!" The Gogg swung around and aimed its beam cannons at one of the hover trucks crew, who was crawling from the wreckage covered in blood. The pilot pulled the Trigger vaporizing the truck operator in an instant.
"MARK NOOOO!!!!!!!!" A strangled female voice screamed over the intercom. The Gogg turned around to find itself right in front of Natalia's GM. The Gogg didn't have time to do anything else. The Ranger fired its 100mm machine gun at the marine MS's lower section destroying the legs and causing the suit to fall on its back. The GM lifted into the air and landed in a straddling postion ontop of the Gogg and jabbed its beam sabre strait into the cockpit.
'I was too late to save him' Natalia thought to herself. She deactivated the beamsabre and stood the GM up. Snipe had done what he always does best and had taken the Dom out with ease but a mechanical failure prevented him from using his rifle again which pretty much put him out of the fight considering the distance he was from everyone else. Emily was okay but the dead Dom still had her pinned, and Xander was fighting that Zaku. She was about to go help him when she saw a slight movement from the remaining section of the hover truck. Her hopes where answered when she saw Sam crawl out from the gunwell. She immedietly opened her cockpit and grabbed the descent cable. "God I hope he doesn't have any internal injuries" She thought to herself.
Xander was jumping left to right trying to avoid the Zaku II's bazooka rounds entil it ran out of ammo which the pilot was using like he had a bottomless clip. The pilot was still targeting Xander and pulled the trigger once more, but nothing happend, he had used all his ammo. The pilot threw the now useless weapon aside, grabbed its heat hawk and charged Xander. Xander was now totally disgusted with his opponent. "Emily gets to fight a pro and I'm stuck with an amatuer, figures" Before the Zaku could even get into range to use its Heat Hawk the GM lifted its left hand and fired its forearm cannon. The speeding Zaku was torn in half at the chest and crashed into the ground, its thrusters overheated and caused the suit to explode taking a very ignorant pilot with it. Xander mumbled about how stupid kids where these days and turned to face the rest of his team. "Mission was a success, whats the damage report?" Before an answer could be given a menacing blue mobile suit with an enourmous gatling gun on its left arm landed right beside him. Xander could only look in shock as the blue suit lifted its gun and aimed it at him. all he could do was mutter two words, "Gouf Custom" **************************************************************************** ********* Ok what do you think? Longer then the other chapters but I think it was worth it. I know I downplayed snipes role but seriously, GM Snipers just aim and shoot and take out their targets, watch the second to last 08th MS team episode and you''ll see what I mean. I also realize that the Zeon kinda lost quickly, but these guys where just grunts anyway, besides, a few MS are unaccounted for............. Anyway if anyone wants to send me words of praise or flames or whatever, please review me!!!! Thanks again to my loyal readers, if I have any that is ____ P.S. I'm a big fan of the Gouf Custom so I had to throw it in here, and yes the pilot will be Xanders nemesis if you haven't already figured it out, well once again, thanks to all you readers out there!!
