Ch.7
The three-gundam pilots had made their way to Venus though they stopped at a few refueling stations.
Chris-"You are like a bottomless pit Leo, I swear."
Leo-"I just can't help it man, I'm hungry."
Michelle-"He better be careful or he'll over stuff himself like he did at the last two stations."
Chris-"No kidding, our budget is low because of his pigging out."
Michelle-"Well I'm done. I'll be back in the shuttle if you need me."
Michelle walked back toward the ship right after she was done eating.
Chris-"Well at least she doesn't cost us our money."
Michelle had then came back to tell something to Chris.
Michelle-"Oh yeah, I ordered some weaponry supplies for the suits. The bill should be coming in soon."
Chris-"Why do I even bother?"
Later that day, the three headed back toward their shuttle.
Chris-"So doc, what do we do now for the rest of the day?"
Old man-"Currently we have no missions so we have the day off."
Michelle-"Well I was planning to take a look at Deathscythe, I've noticed it has been a bit slow lately."
Old man-"Well what about you Leo?"
Leo-"Don't know really. Got any ideas?"
Chris-"Well I heard there was a group of rebels around and."
Leo-"Nothing that has to do with the war please."
Chris-"Alright then, how about we go see those weaponry shipments Michelle bought. If we're lucky, we take them all from her, it's not her money to buy anything."
Leo-"What is it that you have against her anyway?"
Chris-"She's a bitch."
At that moment, Michelle came up behind him and threw him down to the ground. When he got up, all he had was a bleeding nose.
Chris-"Damn, what you do that for?"
Michelle-"Goes to show you what happens when you back stab someone."
Leo-"If there is one thing I learned about women is to never to piss them off. They always get you in the end."
Michelle-"Well if you'll excuse me, I have to work on Deathscythe."
Leo-"Yeah, I better get working on Wing Zero."
Chris-"I think I'll lay in bed today. Ouch! My hip!"
Leo had begun to work on Wing Zero though he asked for more than he bargained for.
Leo-"How can working on a gundam be so difficult? The design on this is just too complicated."
Old man-"Leo, Leo!"
The old man then called Leo.
Leo-"Oh, hi doc."
Old man-"Leo, Something has just come up."
Leo-"Oh, not now. I'm working on Wing Zero here. Why don't you bother someone who isn't busy."
Old man-"Sorry but you're the only one for this mission."
Leo-"Give me one good reason why I should do this mission."
Old man-"The KANZ have secret files on a project though it is unknown to me."
Leo-"So what does it have to do with me?"
Old man-"Rumor has it that it is related to the gundams some how and to the war of A.C. 195."
Leo-"Great."
Old man-"I'm serious, if we don't do something we may have to deal with something we don't know anything about."
Leo sighed and nodded.
Leo-".Fine, I'll do it."
Elsewhere on the ship, Michelle opened Deathscythe's cockpit, and checked everything for any glitches.
Michelle-".Everything seems to be fine though I don't understand why Deathscythe is moving so sluggish."
Chris-"Well mainly because you're used to piloting Deathscythe on the moon and its gravity. Though out in space with no gravity the suit will act differently."
Michelle-"What the hell are you doing here Chris, I don't need your advice on anything, I do things my own way and that's how it's always going to be."
Chris-"Well excuse me for barging in."
Michelle-"Well I'd rather like it if you just went away and leave me alone."
Chris-"Sheesh! Damn bitch, it's not my fault if your gundam is fucked up."
Michelle-"I heard that!"
Chris-"The hell with you!" Michelle then threw a wrench at his forehead, which made a direct hit though not to his forehead but to where it really hurts.
Chris-"Ah shit! Damn you bitch!"
Michelle-"Thank you."
Chris-"Sometimes I wonder why I have to put up with her attitude, I should probably kick her ass out of here."
Michelle-"And I also know what you're thinking as well."
Chris-"Shit!"
Old man-"Well I see you two are getting along well."
The old man had just came in enjoying himself seeing the fight.
Michelle-"Yeah. We're getting along just fine."
Chris-"Hey doc, where's Leo? I haven't seen him all day."
Old man-"Well unfortunately he is currently busy.on a mission."
Chris-"Well that explains everything. Where's he at, he may need some backup."
Old man-"I sent him on this mission as a solo, I didn't want you to go because I didn't want you to screw anything up."
Michelle-"Well that's one thing you're good for Chris."
Old man-"Also, you always cause more than enough trouble for us."
Chris-"Don't forget when that passing cargo loader passed us. She went ballistic when he cussed her out."
Michelle-"He deserved it. It's not polite to insult a lady."
Chris-"Depending what you call a lady."
Michelle gave Chris another toss to the ground. He squealed loudly and growled.
Michelle-"Depends on what you call a Man."
Old man-"Will you two stop fighting, it won't do you any good."
Chris-"She's the one that started it."
Michelle-"As if, asshole."
Old man-"As for you, Chris, you always head into battle head on."
Chris-"What!"
During the time, back at the launch bay. Leo had infiltrated a KANZ military ship hacking into the files of the ship.
Leo-"The doc was right, these are designs on some sort of weapon but the model is sort of ancient. Well I got all I need, I better get my ass out of here before someone catches me."
Leo then heard footsteps coming closer to the computer room.
Soldier1-"It came from in here."
Leo-"That's my cue to get the hell out of here."
Two soldiers came in but only to find the room empty or so they thought. Leo had jumped down from the ceiling behind them quietly and ran out of there. He made his way out of the ship and back toward his ship.
Leo-"That was easier than taking candy from a baby."
But at that moment, Leo had bumped into someone and fell backward. This person stood the same height as Leo with a black leather jacket, he was a bit thin, a dark blue tanktop, black jeans, army boots, light toned skin, black eyes, and black hair slicked back with gel.
Leo-"Watch the hell where you're going."
Passing person-"Well excuse me but you were the one who was running."
Leo-"Just leave me alone and let me pass."
Passing person-".Hmmm, you look familiar."
Leo-"What the hell do you mean by that?"
Passing person-"Yeah, I know you. You're that rebel they were talking about at colony 014."
Leo-"You got the wrong guy."
Soldier1-"There he is, get him!"
Leo-"Oh shit, gotta go."
Passing person-"."
Leo ran right pass the stranger and made his way to loose the soldiers. He had finally lost them and made his way back into the ship.
Leo-"Hey doc, we may have to leave sooner than planned."
Old man--"You screwed up didn't you.you dumb ass."
Leo-"You try hacking a military ship."
Chris-"What the hell is going on down there, I was enjoying my beauty sleep."
Michelle-"Yeah, it's late at night, I was enjoying a nice dream of killing soldiers and destruction."
Chris-".You have a real sick mind you know that, Michelle."
Michelle-"Death is a hobby of mine."
Leo-"Come on, we have to get this ship moving before they catch us."
Chris-"Way ahead of you Leo."
Chris started up the ship and started to launch off.
Chris-"Engine stats show all green, booster stats show green, either stats all green, and we're ready to launch in 3.2.1.blast off."
The ship took off away from the station.
Leo-"That was close for comfort."
Chris-"Don't look now guys but we have company coming."
Behind the ship, tailing them was the same military ship with two mobile suit escorts.
Leo-"Just what we need, more trouble."
Michelle-"What the hell do we need to worry about, they're just two suits."
Leo-"Yeah but we can't be caught with the gundams out here."
Michelle-"Dammit!"
Chris-"What are we going to do then?"
Leo-"Use our boosters?"
Chris-"Didn't we already use them?"
Leo-"."
The three of them stood there not knowing what to do.
Familiar voice-"Excuse me but it seems you guys may need a little hand."
Leo-"Hey, I know that voice."
Familiar voice-"I thought I'd find you here."
Leo-"You're that guy I bumped into earlier."
Old man-"You revealed our identity, what the hell is wrong with you today? Can't you do anything right?"
Leo-"I'm.sorry?"
Old man-"The hell you are, you three have a big bounty on your heads."
Chris-"So what can you do to help us?"
Mysterious person-"Like the old saying, to stay is death, to leave is death."
At that moment, another ship came out of the shadows and launched an onslaught of missiles at the military ship along with the two suits.
Chris-"Damn, look at those fireworks fly."
Leo-"All I can say is this, that guy is really loaded."
Michelle-"So what. His ship is fully equipped, an amateur's trick."
Mysterious person-"You think that was good, the best has yet to come. But until next time gundam pilots."
The mysterious man left in warp speed in deep space leaving the others in safety.
Chris-"Who the hell was that?"
Leo-"Don't ask me. But at least he's on our side."
Michelle-"Hey, we barely know the guy so we don't know if we can trust him."
Old man-"And how did he know we were gundam pilots?"
Leo-"That's a good question."
They all stood there in confusion. Then afterward, they took off to continue on their quest.
Ch.8
A week after the incident at the space station, the pilots have been under a tight schedule doing work and research. Though from the data that Leo brought back had the doc curious on what KANZ was up to.
Old man-"Let's see here.interesting.what.unbelievable."
Michelle-"What's that data on?"
Old man-"Oh it's you Michelle, this the data that Leo brought back from that military ship at the station."
Michelle-"Is it, what's so interesting about it?"
Old man-"It looks like a design for some type of weapon. I don't what it's for though, it could be a sort of mobile suit, a ship, a bomb, or piece for a powerful cannon."
Michelle-"Doesn't sound that good."
Old man-"It isn't, this technology from the war of A.C. 195. But I'm surprised they were able to dig this up."
Michelle-"So it's just a fossil, what's there to worry?"
Old man-"This may be old but combined with the technology it could be very dangerous, dangerous enough to destroy a planet in my opinion."
Michelle-"I see your point."
Old man-"We'll have to keep an extra close eye on KANZ, but we should be arriving in Venus soon so get ready."
The ship had finally reached Venus and was preparing to enter the atmosphere. While inside, the others were preparing themselves as well.
Chris-"So what do you think Venus is like?"
Leo-"Don't know Chris but I do know a few things about it. For one it has acid rain there so the people live in acid protected domes. The domes are made of a thick layer of gundanium alloy so the rain won't get through and so the domes won't be damaged. Also, the domes have gravity enhancers, which defy the gravity on Venus. They have some for mobile suits but it takes a lot of energy. Though with the gundams it could last three times as long as a one on a regular serpent, which is about one whole day."
Chris-"So the gundams are resistant to the rain right?"
Leo-"Yeah but you'll lose that new paint job you did on Heavyarms, the paint isn't resistant to the rain, that's why I put acid resistant paint on Zero."
Chris-"Argh, there's that thrust kicking in."
"Old man-Yeah, when entering an atmosphere you get a certain force pushed against you."
As an hour passed since the arrival, everyone has been busy seeing if they can find the next gundam. Leo had searched downtown, Chris had checked out most of hot spots in the city, Michelle checked most of the bars, and the doc was busy on the net.
Chris-"Man, finding about this next gundam isn't easy, this place is packed with tourist. What am I saying, I'm considered a tourist as well. I might as well get a bite to eat."
On the other side of town, Michelle was hanging out at a bar drinking some beer, finding any information on the gundam.
Michelle-"I don't even know why I'm wasting my time, I should have gone downtown instead of Leo. Besides, it's been a while since I've done a little shopping."
Just then, two thugs came up to Michelle.
Thug1-"Hey, what do we have here."
Thug2-"Looks like babe lost her way home."
Michelle-"Oh brother."
Thug2-"Hey, why don't you come along with us babe."
Michelle-"I'd rather puke then go out with some losers like you guys."
Thug1-"My you're a feisty one.good, I like that in a girl."
Michelle-"Do I have to repeat myself, get out of my sight before I make you into roadkill or would you rather have me splatter your face all over the wall? I have a little talent for painting murals with someone's blood."
Thug2-"I think she just dissed you man."
Thug1-"No girl talks like that to me."
Michelle-"They would if you keep spreading that charm of yours like that."
Thug1-"You're going to regret that you ever said that."
Outside the bar, Chris was walking by with no luck on the gundam.
Chris-"How can it be so hard just to find one big gundam, I mean the rumors on us made us stick out real bad."
As he was walking by the bar, a man was out of the window right in front of him. He looked inside only to find Michelle.
Chris-"Looks like Michelle was in a bad mood today. Hey, are you guys alright?"
Thug1-"My back, it fells like it's been shattered along with the rest of my body."
Thug2-"Me too."
Chris--"Looks like she was in a real bad mood."
He went inside and got a drink. He then sat down right next to Michelle.
Michelle-"What did those two do to upset you?"
Chris-"The same way you do to me."
Michelle-"Ouch. Any info yet?"
Chris-"Nada."
Michelle-"Nothing here."
Chris-"What about Leo?"
Michelle-"Haven't meet up with him yet."
Chris-"Maybe he'll be lucky."
Michelle-"Knowing him he will be but for a price."
They couldn't have put any better for Leo was about to find out soon enough. He was at a restaurant eating.
Leo-"Man, the food here is great. I never ate anything like this before."
Waiter-"Your paycheck sir."
Leo-"Oh thanks.I think this should do it."
Waiter-"Have a nice day sir."
Leo-"Man, everyone here is so cheery. Anyhow, it looks like I won't get anything here."
At that moment, a salesman came into the restaurant trying to make a single dollar.
Salesman-"Excuse me sir but I think you'll find this item interesting."
Leo-"Sorry but no thanks."
Salesman-"Oh, maybe you can find this interesting."
Leo-"Humph, waiter, remove this salesman please."
Salesman-"Okay, I'm going.old hag doesn't know good sale when they see it."
Leo-"Hmmm, I wonder Excuse me but may I ask you something Mister?"
Salesman-"Names Bernie, you want something I have it for sale."
Leo-"Yeah whatever, I was wondering but do you also carry information?"
Bernie-".Well let's not discuss that here."
The two walked out of the restaurant and into an alley. Bernie-"So what do you want?"
Leo-"Do you happen do have any information on a mobile suit on this planet, a gundam perhaps?"
Bernie-"You came to the right person kid. Yeah I got information on a gundam, more likely Gundam 05 Nataku."
Leo-"Oh man am I in luck."
Bernie-"Wait a second, everything comes with its price."
Leo-"$150 and that's it."
Bernie-"$200 for telling you about Nataku."
Leo-"Deal, here. Now start talking."
Bernie-"Well if you must know, in the outskirts of this planet rumor tells of a ferocious two headed dragon. Well I went to check it out because rumor also says that the dragon guards a great treasure. When I went to search for it I encountered the dragon but to find out that it was indeed a gundam."
Leo-"How did you escape?"
Bernie-"You think a salesman goes without his stuff? I happened to bring my flash bomb and my cargo carrier, which I use to go from market to market between the planets. I nearly made it out alive though was being chased for two days straight. The gundam stopped chasing me when I got near the city."
Leo-"Have you ever worried about him coming after you?"
Bernie-"The pilot could try but the domes are heavily guarded by the military of KANZ. Any good that did."
Leo-"So where is this area located?"
Bernie-"Nine degrees north of the dome."
Leo-"Thanks."
Bernie-"Oh, if you happen to need any weapons just call me."
Leo made his way back to the ship to report his news to the Doc. Though Michelle and Chris weren't happy after their hard effort of getting any information.
Michelle-"I knew I should have gone to the downtown area."
Chris-"Same here, I could have gotten a good deal from the guy."
Old man-"Enough of your stupid comments. We are a step closer to reuniting the gundam force."
Leo-"Like I said, the area where the gundam was spotted was nine degrees north."
Chris-"Well what are we waiting for, let's pay the old dragon a visit."
Leo-"One problem."
Chris-"What?"
Leo-"You're not going out there with no acid protected paint on Heavyarms I mean you don't your new paint job ruined."
Chris-"Uh, never mind then. I just put a new paint job and now I have to do another paint job on it."
Michelle-"Looks like you're out on the fun."
Leo-"This isn't a game Michelle, this is Nataku's territory and we don't know what surprises he has in store for us."
Michelle-"Why should I worry, from what I've heard about this dragon he should be no problem."
Old man-"You have never faced Nataku before, I had my battle experience with him before. That gundam was designed to make surprise attacks on unsuspecting targets."
Leo-"The old man has a point."
Michelle-"So what, I am the best pilot you got and may I say the best pilot around of course."
Chris-"Yeah, snotty and short tempered. That about says it all."
Michelle-"Humph."
Leo-"Can't you two ever get along?"
Michelle-"."
Chris-"."
Leo-"Let's skip that. Now let's go."
Michelle and Leo made their way to where Bernie's directions were though no luck yet. Both had been traveling in a double suit carrier but their time imminent for they only had fuel for two days.
Michelle-"It's getting late."
Leo-"More like seven thirty."
Michelle-"Are you sure that salesman was telling the truth? He may have ripped you off."
Leo-"If he did then he'll wish that he had never been born."
Michelle-"I can agree that much with you."
Leo-"Man, I can't believe I got ripped off so easily."
Michelle-"Welcome to reality Leo."
Leo-".Wake me up if anything comes up, I need some rest."
Michelle-"Good night. I can't believe I'm wasting my time here looking for some stupid piece of trash."
An hour has passed and still nothing for the two has shown up yet. Leo was still asleep and Michelle kept watch.
Michelle-"If I have stay here any longer I'll go insane.*sigh* I'm a bit too uptight. Probably because I haven't done any shopping in a while. Shopping usually relaxed me but now look at me. It has been so many years since that day."
Michelle had gone to a flashback to when she was the age of fourteen. Surrounded by flames as her home went down in flames from the attack.
Michelle's father-"Michelle darling, you have to survive this. You must carry on the legacy of our family."
Young Michelle-"Dad, don't say that. I don't want you to leave me."
Michelle's Father-"You're a strong girl and I know you can survive on your own."
Young Michelle-"Dad."
Michelle's father-"Listen, you must stop KANZ. Do not let them take control of the solar system.take this, it will help you in your journey."
Michelle's tears ran down her face as she ran from her home on earth. At a top of a cliff she watched everything go down in flames.
Michelle-"I'll keep my promise Dad, for you and for our entire family I will promise you.revenge."
Michelle came back to focus as the alarm went off on the ship.something was coming.
Michelle-"What a nightmare. Hey Leo wake up."
Leo-"*Yawn* what's going on?"
Michelle-"Looks like we got company."
Leo-"Finally some action."
Michelle-"He could have come sooner."
Leo-"Doesn't matter, let's give him his good welcome."
The two got into their mobile suits and went out in the dark terrain.
Leo-"Man is it dark out here."
Michelle-"Doesn't bother me, I'm used to the dark."
Leo-"That explains your dead pale face."
Michelle-"I wouldn't be talking if I were you, have you looked into a mirror lately?"
Leo-"Never mind, we have to worry about our dragon here."
In the shadows, a figure moved about that the two could not catch. The sound of a beast roared throughout the area as the two stood there. They could see two shadows winding around them like snakes. Out from behind the two shadows struck breathing fire. Both Leo and Michelle dodged it as fast as they could though the two serpents went straight up after them.
Leo-"Damn these things are fast, but they're not fast enough. Activate twin buster rifle, lock on.and."
Leo kept steady as the two approached him at great speed. He made a direct lock on and fired. Unfortunately the two serpents stopped and went back down to dodge the blast as they went back underground.
Michelle-"What the hell was that?"
Leo-"The doc told me that Nataku was equipped with a sort of weapon attached to his arm. It was supposed to be an extending dragon claw that could extend for over ΒΌ of a mile. We have to watch our backs; these things are really powerful when they attack from beneath."
Michelle-"So all we have to do is find the core itself, these serpents are just its arms."
Leo-"Right. Turn on your vibration and sound sensors so we can trace where it's coming from."
Michelle-"Got it. Activating cloak."
Deathscythe had put on its cloak and disappeared from sight leaving Leo a sitting duck.
Leo-"Alright Leo, you can do this just concentrate and stay focused. This guy isn't going to beat you."
Michelle-"Leo, you okay there, you're breathing kind of hard."
Leo-"."
Michelle-"Leo?"
From out of nowhere the two serpents attacked Leo without warning. Leo just stood there without moving an inch.
Leo-"There he is!"
Leo then raised his beam rifle and pointed it on his left side and fired. From the rubble was a green mobile suit, with two serpents extending from its arms. It pulled both serpents back in and drew out a double bladed beam lance.
Leo-"Got you!"
Mysterious pilot-"I'm impressed that you were able to find me but I was more surprised that you came prepared."
Leo-"Well you should always know what you're facing up against before you act."
Mysterious pilot-"Humph, a wise ass aren't we. Well you won't be that way once I'm done with you."
Leo-"Then let see and find out!"
The two had gone into combat at that very moment, the green suit drew out its weapon and Leo drew out his beam saber. The two went head to head at each other; Leo made a series of slashes at the green suit while the suit dodged it. The green suit then began its own assault on Wing Zero though Leo dodged each attack as well. The green suit then launched one of its serpent arms at Zero but he quickly countered it with his saber keeping it from attacking.
Mysterious voice-"You are a formidable opponent, I never faced anyone like you before."
Leo-"I should be saying the same."
Mysterious voice-"Even if you are strong, you won't win."
Leo-"We'll just see about that!"
The green suit had then pulled back its arm and flew backwards; it then afterward flung both of its arms at Leo holding him down to the ground.
Mysterious voice-"You will never live to tell of this day gundam pilot."
Leo-"I won't give up, never."
Mysterious voice-"Hey, why don't you pick on someone your own size."
Just out of nowhere, Deathscythe cam and knocked the green suit off Leo. Deathscythe stood there staring at the green suit.
Michelle-"So this is the gundam Nataku. Kind of looks like a big hunk of trash if you ask me."
Mysterious voice-"You guys are really becoming pests right now."
Michelle-"I should be the one saying that. You call yourself a gundam pilot with that piece of shit there?"
Mysterious voice-"That's the third time you've insulted me."
Michelle-"For a good pilot you still don't know how to count your one two threes."
Mysterious voice-"You called me an amateur back at the station from when I saved your sorry ass."
Michelle--"Wait a sec, you mean you're that guy who saved us from that military ship back at the station?"
Mysterious voice-"Nah, who do ya think it was you dumb ass."
Michelle-"Just for that you're going to regret that you were ever born."
Mysterious voice-"Why don't you do things like other girls do like shopping or boys instead of getting involved in this war?"
Michelle-"I do those things but I love the thrill of battle."
Mysterious voice-"Well you won't be saying that on the trip you'll be going."
Nataku charged right toward Deathscythe and swung his lance at her. He then flung back and launched the left serpent arm at her catching her in a trap. He kept her in that position without letting her go while he charged right back her preparing to thrust his lance through her.
Mysterious voice-"Everything that is given life must die."
Michelle-"No, I made a promise. I will not rest until KANZ will fall down in flames like my family did."
The final blow was about to be made, but at that instance a barrage of artillery attacked Nataku.
Chris-"Sorry about the delay Michelle but the repair mechanisms were a bit slow."
Michelle-"Chris? What the hell are you doing here?"
Chris-"Leo sent out a distress call and I came as fast as I could to his location. You're lucky that I had finished my paint job."
Leo-"Lucky that you got it. Now let's finish this guy off."
Mysterious voice-"Hey, this isn't fair. Three on one is uneven."
Michelle-"Ugh, don't be such a baby. Besides, it's rude to strike a lady down."
Mysterious voice-"Well look at you, a tough cookie and a righteous babe all in one."
Michelle-"Why thank you, but a little compliment won't save you from what is to become of your fate."
Mysterious voice-"Then let's finish this, one on one, to the death!"
Michelle-"Fine by me. You'll learn one way or another that no one ever survives a battle with the Endbringer."
Ch.9
Mysterious voice-"Alright you little bitch, you're going to regret that you picked this day to fight me."
Michelle-"Quit your cheap ass talk and fight, I want to get this over with so I can go back and catch up on my shopping."
Mysterious voice-"Ugh, Women."
Deathscythe charged toward Nataku at maximum speed. She drew out her beam scythe and slashed Nataku across the chest. He then flew backwards and flung both of his serpent arms. Deathscythe dodged the attack and went into stealth. She came up behind and made a quick slash to his boosters.
Mysterious voice-"Shit!"
Michelle-"Your welcome. And now for the grand finally!"
Deathscythe used its saber and created a circle around her. She then drew back her saber, it continued to grow rapidly until it was the length of a city.
Michelle-"ECLIPSE STRIKE!"
She released the energy and threw it against Nataku blowing it away. What remained of the blast was nothing but a burned up Nataku missing only two legs and one arm.
Chris-"Damn, what the hell was that?"
Leo-"I think it came from Deathscythe."
Chris-"Unbelievable."
Michelle-"That should teach you a lesson to remember for life."
Mysterious voice-"Ah shit, weaponry system down, auxiliary power is cut out, mobile system is out, piece of junk won't work anymore."
Michelle-"I'm rather actually enjoying this, I haven't had fun like this in a long time. I have to say you a bit of a challenge but you weren't good enough."
Mysterious voice-"You shut your mouth you little."
Michelle-"What? What can you do to stop me now?"
Mysterious voice-"Ugh."
Chris-"She's really getting aero-dramatic."
Leo-"Well she did win the battle fair and square."
Mysterious voice-"This is only one battle won, there are many more battles to come gundam pilot."
Michelle-"You just can't keep that big mouth of yours close, you're all talk."
Mysterious voice-".Kill me if you want, it won't make a difference anyhow. I have failed to prove myself as a worthy pilot for Nataku."
Chris-"Hey, don't talk like that man."
Leo-"Yeah, it's like you feel like the end of the world is coming."
Michelle-"If he wants to die then let him, it's his decision."
Chris-"You are way too harsh."
Leo-"Anyhow, let's get that suit of yours to our garage. We'll fix it up like it was brand new."
Mysterious voice-"Why do you want to help me when I tried to kill you?"
Leo-"Hey we came to find a gundam and a pilot, and after seeing what you can do we'd be more than glad to have you on our side."
The three brought back Nataku along with the pilot. The old man began having a discussion with the mysterious pilot.
Old man-"So you say you received the blueprints for the gundam from your grandfather and that he passed away three years ago."
Nataku pilot-"Yes, he was a wise and I always looked up to him. He was involved with the war of After Colony 195-196 and in the battle of After Colony 197."
Old man-"Really, he must have lived a long life then."
Nataku pilot-"He did."
Old man-"Tell me, what were you doing guarding that area?"
Nataku pilot-"There was an old abandoned air base there left years ago. It is filled with loads of ammunition and nuclear weaponry, I didn't want anyone to get that type of power with those weapons."
Old man-"Well at least you have good reason. But now back to the battle, now what was it that Michelle finished you off with?"
Nataku pilot-"She created a circle around her and drew back her staff and charged it up for strike. She then slashed me leaving Nataku in critical condition. I think she called it the eclipse strike."
Old man-"I see."
Nataku pilot-"Yeah, the attack nearly leveled the landscape not to mention everything else close by."
Old man-"So are you going to join us? I mean if you want to though."
Nataku pilot-".After hearing your side of the story I made my decision.my name is Chan Motsumaru I am the pilot of Gundam 05 Nataku. I will join your quest in stopping KANZ."
Leo-"Alright."
Old man-"Welcome aboard Chan, I hope your stay with us will be pleasant."
Chan-"Don't worry, one benefit of staying with you guys is that I'll have a second chance to defeat Michelle."
Michelle-"Humph!"
Chris-"Well what's our next stop doc?"
Old man-"We only have one more stop. There have been reports of a desert bandit mobile suit gang on Mercury."
Chris-"Desert bandits?"
Old man-"Yes, the reports say that there have been reports of cargo being stolen on Mercury. The cargo belonged to the property of KANZ."
Chris-"So what are we waiting for?"
Leo-"Let's go, we're one step away from bringing down KANZ once and for all."
Elsewhere, in the vast distance of space.
Soldier-"Sir, here are our latest reports on Project-E."
His Excellency- "Only 50% complete, I would have expected it to be completed sooner."
Soldier-"Sorry sir but we have been having problems with the supplies. The essential parts have been reported stolen on Mercury."
His Excellency-"Stolen? What reports show on who the thieves were?"
Soldier-"Eye witnesses say it was a gundam."
His Excellency-"A gundam is it?"
Soldier-"Sir?"
His Excellency-"These so called gundams are becoming a nuisance to my plans. However, once Project-E is completed those gundams won't know what hit them. But just to be on the safe side I'm putting a bounty on their heads dead or alive."
Soldier-"Yes your Excellency."
His Excellency-"The fools don't know what I have in store for them. Soon you will rise from your grave and have revenge for what those gundams did to you long ago, especially against Wing Zero."
Far deep inside of Earth construction was undergoing, a dark figure with two large demon wings stood in the center of the room. Its demon green eyes glowed as its evil shadow spread throughout the room.
The three-gundam pilots had made their way to Venus though they stopped at a few refueling stations.
Chris-"You are like a bottomless pit Leo, I swear."
Leo-"I just can't help it man, I'm hungry."
Michelle-"He better be careful or he'll over stuff himself like he did at the last two stations."
Chris-"No kidding, our budget is low because of his pigging out."
Michelle-"Well I'm done. I'll be back in the shuttle if you need me."
Michelle walked back toward the ship right after she was done eating.
Chris-"Well at least she doesn't cost us our money."
Michelle had then came back to tell something to Chris.
Michelle-"Oh yeah, I ordered some weaponry supplies for the suits. The bill should be coming in soon."
Chris-"Why do I even bother?"
Later that day, the three headed back toward their shuttle.
Chris-"So doc, what do we do now for the rest of the day?"
Old man-"Currently we have no missions so we have the day off."
Michelle-"Well I was planning to take a look at Deathscythe, I've noticed it has been a bit slow lately."
Old man-"Well what about you Leo?"
Leo-"Don't know really. Got any ideas?"
Chris-"Well I heard there was a group of rebels around and."
Leo-"Nothing that has to do with the war please."
Chris-"Alright then, how about we go see those weaponry shipments Michelle bought. If we're lucky, we take them all from her, it's not her money to buy anything."
Leo-"What is it that you have against her anyway?"
Chris-"She's a bitch."
At that moment, Michelle came up behind him and threw him down to the ground. When he got up, all he had was a bleeding nose.
Chris-"Damn, what you do that for?"
Michelle-"Goes to show you what happens when you back stab someone."
Leo-"If there is one thing I learned about women is to never to piss them off. They always get you in the end."
Michelle-"Well if you'll excuse me, I have to work on Deathscythe."
Leo-"Yeah, I better get working on Wing Zero."
Chris-"I think I'll lay in bed today. Ouch! My hip!"
Leo had begun to work on Wing Zero though he asked for more than he bargained for.
Leo-"How can working on a gundam be so difficult? The design on this is just too complicated."
Old man-"Leo, Leo!"
The old man then called Leo.
Leo-"Oh, hi doc."
Old man-"Leo, Something has just come up."
Leo-"Oh, not now. I'm working on Wing Zero here. Why don't you bother someone who isn't busy."
Old man-"Sorry but you're the only one for this mission."
Leo-"Give me one good reason why I should do this mission."
Old man-"The KANZ have secret files on a project though it is unknown to me."
Leo-"So what does it have to do with me?"
Old man-"Rumor has it that it is related to the gundams some how and to the war of A.C. 195."
Leo-"Great."
Old man-"I'm serious, if we don't do something we may have to deal with something we don't know anything about."
Leo sighed and nodded.
Leo-".Fine, I'll do it."
Elsewhere on the ship, Michelle opened Deathscythe's cockpit, and checked everything for any glitches.
Michelle-".Everything seems to be fine though I don't understand why Deathscythe is moving so sluggish."
Chris-"Well mainly because you're used to piloting Deathscythe on the moon and its gravity. Though out in space with no gravity the suit will act differently."
Michelle-"What the hell are you doing here Chris, I don't need your advice on anything, I do things my own way and that's how it's always going to be."
Chris-"Well excuse me for barging in."
Michelle-"Well I'd rather like it if you just went away and leave me alone."
Chris-"Sheesh! Damn bitch, it's not my fault if your gundam is fucked up."
Michelle-"I heard that!"
Chris-"The hell with you!" Michelle then threw a wrench at his forehead, which made a direct hit though not to his forehead but to where it really hurts.
Chris-"Ah shit! Damn you bitch!"
Michelle-"Thank you."
Chris-"Sometimes I wonder why I have to put up with her attitude, I should probably kick her ass out of here."
Michelle-"And I also know what you're thinking as well."
Chris-"Shit!"
Old man-"Well I see you two are getting along well."
The old man had just came in enjoying himself seeing the fight.
Michelle-"Yeah. We're getting along just fine."
Chris-"Hey doc, where's Leo? I haven't seen him all day."
Old man-"Well unfortunately he is currently busy.on a mission."
Chris-"Well that explains everything. Where's he at, he may need some backup."
Old man-"I sent him on this mission as a solo, I didn't want you to go because I didn't want you to screw anything up."
Michelle-"Well that's one thing you're good for Chris."
Old man-"Also, you always cause more than enough trouble for us."
Chris-"Don't forget when that passing cargo loader passed us. She went ballistic when he cussed her out."
Michelle-"He deserved it. It's not polite to insult a lady."
Chris-"Depending what you call a lady."
Michelle gave Chris another toss to the ground. He squealed loudly and growled.
Michelle-"Depends on what you call a Man."
Old man-"Will you two stop fighting, it won't do you any good."
Chris-"She's the one that started it."
Michelle-"As if, asshole."
Old man-"As for you, Chris, you always head into battle head on."
Chris-"What!"
During the time, back at the launch bay. Leo had infiltrated a KANZ military ship hacking into the files of the ship.
Leo-"The doc was right, these are designs on some sort of weapon but the model is sort of ancient. Well I got all I need, I better get my ass out of here before someone catches me."
Leo then heard footsteps coming closer to the computer room.
Soldier1-"It came from in here."
Leo-"That's my cue to get the hell out of here."
Two soldiers came in but only to find the room empty or so they thought. Leo had jumped down from the ceiling behind them quietly and ran out of there. He made his way out of the ship and back toward his ship.
Leo-"That was easier than taking candy from a baby."
But at that moment, Leo had bumped into someone and fell backward. This person stood the same height as Leo with a black leather jacket, he was a bit thin, a dark blue tanktop, black jeans, army boots, light toned skin, black eyes, and black hair slicked back with gel.
Leo-"Watch the hell where you're going."
Passing person-"Well excuse me but you were the one who was running."
Leo-"Just leave me alone and let me pass."
Passing person-".Hmmm, you look familiar."
Leo-"What the hell do you mean by that?"
Passing person-"Yeah, I know you. You're that rebel they were talking about at colony 014."
Leo-"You got the wrong guy."
Soldier1-"There he is, get him!"
Leo-"Oh shit, gotta go."
Passing person-"."
Leo ran right pass the stranger and made his way to loose the soldiers. He had finally lost them and made his way back into the ship.
Leo-"Hey doc, we may have to leave sooner than planned."
Old man--"You screwed up didn't you.you dumb ass."
Leo-"You try hacking a military ship."
Chris-"What the hell is going on down there, I was enjoying my beauty sleep."
Michelle-"Yeah, it's late at night, I was enjoying a nice dream of killing soldiers and destruction."
Chris-".You have a real sick mind you know that, Michelle."
Michelle-"Death is a hobby of mine."
Leo-"Come on, we have to get this ship moving before they catch us."
Chris-"Way ahead of you Leo."
Chris started up the ship and started to launch off.
Chris-"Engine stats show all green, booster stats show green, either stats all green, and we're ready to launch in 3.2.1.blast off."
The ship took off away from the station.
Leo-"That was close for comfort."
Chris-"Don't look now guys but we have company coming."
Behind the ship, tailing them was the same military ship with two mobile suit escorts.
Leo-"Just what we need, more trouble."
Michelle-"What the hell do we need to worry about, they're just two suits."
Leo-"Yeah but we can't be caught with the gundams out here."
Michelle-"Dammit!"
Chris-"What are we going to do then?"
Leo-"Use our boosters?"
Chris-"Didn't we already use them?"
Leo-"."
The three of them stood there not knowing what to do.
Familiar voice-"Excuse me but it seems you guys may need a little hand."
Leo-"Hey, I know that voice."
Familiar voice-"I thought I'd find you here."
Leo-"You're that guy I bumped into earlier."
Old man-"You revealed our identity, what the hell is wrong with you today? Can't you do anything right?"
Leo-"I'm.sorry?"
Old man-"The hell you are, you three have a big bounty on your heads."
Chris-"So what can you do to help us?"
Mysterious person-"Like the old saying, to stay is death, to leave is death."
At that moment, another ship came out of the shadows and launched an onslaught of missiles at the military ship along with the two suits.
Chris-"Damn, look at those fireworks fly."
Leo-"All I can say is this, that guy is really loaded."
Michelle-"So what. His ship is fully equipped, an amateur's trick."
Mysterious person-"You think that was good, the best has yet to come. But until next time gundam pilots."
The mysterious man left in warp speed in deep space leaving the others in safety.
Chris-"Who the hell was that?"
Leo-"Don't ask me. But at least he's on our side."
Michelle-"Hey, we barely know the guy so we don't know if we can trust him."
Old man-"And how did he know we were gundam pilots?"
Leo-"That's a good question."
They all stood there in confusion. Then afterward, they took off to continue on their quest.
Ch.8
A week after the incident at the space station, the pilots have been under a tight schedule doing work and research. Though from the data that Leo brought back had the doc curious on what KANZ was up to.
Old man-"Let's see here.interesting.what.unbelievable."
Michelle-"What's that data on?"
Old man-"Oh it's you Michelle, this the data that Leo brought back from that military ship at the station."
Michelle-"Is it, what's so interesting about it?"
Old man-"It looks like a design for some type of weapon. I don't what it's for though, it could be a sort of mobile suit, a ship, a bomb, or piece for a powerful cannon."
Michelle-"Doesn't sound that good."
Old man-"It isn't, this technology from the war of A.C. 195. But I'm surprised they were able to dig this up."
Michelle-"So it's just a fossil, what's there to worry?"
Old man-"This may be old but combined with the technology it could be very dangerous, dangerous enough to destroy a planet in my opinion."
Michelle-"I see your point."
Old man-"We'll have to keep an extra close eye on KANZ, but we should be arriving in Venus soon so get ready."
The ship had finally reached Venus and was preparing to enter the atmosphere. While inside, the others were preparing themselves as well.
Chris-"So what do you think Venus is like?"
Leo-"Don't know Chris but I do know a few things about it. For one it has acid rain there so the people live in acid protected domes. The domes are made of a thick layer of gundanium alloy so the rain won't get through and so the domes won't be damaged. Also, the domes have gravity enhancers, which defy the gravity on Venus. They have some for mobile suits but it takes a lot of energy. Though with the gundams it could last three times as long as a one on a regular serpent, which is about one whole day."
Chris-"So the gundams are resistant to the rain right?"
Leo-"Yeah but you'll lose that new paint job you did on Heavyarms, the paint isn't resistant to the rain, that's why I put acid resistant paint on Zero."
Chris-"Argh, there's that thrust kicking in."
"Old man-Yeah, when entering an atmosphere you get a certain force pushed against you."
As an hour passed since the arrival, everyone has been busy seeing if they can find the next gundam. Leo had searched downtown, Chris had checked out most of hot spots in the city, Michelle checked most of the bars, and the doc was busy on the net.
Chris-"Man, finding about this next gundam isn't easy, this place is packed with tourist. What am I saying, I'm considered a tourist as well. I might as well get a bite to eat."
On the other side of town, Michelle was hanging out at a bar drinking some beer, finding any information on the gundam.
Michelle-"I don't even know why I'm wasting my time, I should have gone downtown instead of Leo. Besides, it's been a while since I've done a little shopping."
Just then, two thugs came up to Michelle.
Thug1-"Hey, what do we have here."
Thug2-"Looks like babe lost her way home."
Michelle-"Oh brother."
Thug2-"Hey, why don't you come along with us babe."
Michelle-"I'd rather puke then go out with some losers like you guys."
Thug1-"My you're a feisty one.good, I like that in a girl."
Michelle-"Do I have to repeat myself, get out of my sight before I make you into roadkill or would you rather have me splatter your face all over the wall? I have a little talent for painting murals with someone's blood."
Thug2-"I think she just dissed you man."
Thug1-"No girl talks like that to me."
Michelle-"They would if you keep spreading that charm of yours like that."
Thug1-"You're going to regret that you ever said that."
Outside the bar, Chris was walking by with no luck on the gundam.
Chris-"How can it be so hard just to find one big gundam, I mean the rumors on us made us stick out real bad."
As he was walking by the bar, a man was out of the window right in front of him. He looked inside only to find Michelle.
Chris-"Looks like Michelle was in a bad mood today. Hey, are you guys alright?"
Thug1-"My back, it fells like it's been shattered along with the rest of my body."
Thug2-"Me too."
Chris--"Looks like she was in a real bad mood."
He went inside and got a drink. He then sat down right next to Michelle.
Michelle-"What did those two do to upset you?"
Chris-"The same way you do to me."
Michelle-"Ouch. Any info yet?"
Chris-"Nada."
Michelle-"Nothing here."
Chris-"What about Leo?"
Michelle-"Haven't meet up with him yet."
Chris-"Maybe he'll be lucky."
Michelle-"Knowing him he will be but for a price."
They couldn't have put any better for Leo was about to find out soon enough. He was at a restaurant eating.
Leo-"Man, the food here is great. I never ate anything like this before."
Waiter-"Your paycheck sir."
Leo-"Oh thanks.I think this should do it."
Waiter-"Have a nice day sir."
Leo-"Man, everyone here is so cheery. Anyhow, it looks like I won't get anything here."
At that moment, a salesman came into the restaurant trying to make a single dollar.
Salesman-"Excuse me sir but I think you'll find this item interesting."
Leo-"Sorry but no thanks."
Salesman-"Oh, maybe you can find this interesting."
Leo-"Humph, waiter, remove this salesman please."
Salesman-"Okay, I'm going.old hag doesn't know good sale when they see it."
Leo-"Hmmm, I wonder Excuse me but may I ask you something Mister?"
Salesman-"Names Bernie, you want something I have it for sale."
Leo-"Yeah whatever, I was wondering but do you also carry information?"
Bernie-".Well let's not discuss that here."
The two walked out of the restaurant and into an alley. Bernie-"So what do you want?"
Leo-"Do you happen do have any information on a mobile suit on this planet, a gundam perhaps?"
Bernie-"You came to the right person kid. Yeah I got information on a gundam, more likely Gundam 05 Nataku."
Leo-"Oh man am I in luck."
Bernie-"Wait a second, everything comes with its price."
Leo-"$150 and that's it."
Bernie-"$200 for telling you about Nataku."
Leo-"Deal, here. Now start talking."
Bernie-"Well if you must know, in the outskirts of this planet rumor tells of a ferocious two headed dragon. Well I went to check it out because rumor also says that the dragon guards a great treasure. When I went to search for it I encountered the dragon but to find out that it was indeed a gundam."
Leo-"How did you escape?"
Bernie-"You think a salesman goes without his stuff? I happened to bring my flash bomb and my cargo carrier, which I use to go from market to market between the planets. I nearly made it out alive though was being chased for two days straight. The gundam stopped chasing me when I got near the city."
Leo-"Have you ever worried about him coming after you?"
Bernie-"The pilot could try but the domes are heavily guarded by the military of KANZ. Any good that did."
Leo-"So where is this area located?"
Bernie-"Nine degrees north of the dome."
Leo-"Thanks."
Bernie-"Oh, if you happen to need any weapons just call me."
Leo made his way back to the ship to report his news to the Doc. Though Michelle and Chris weren't happy after their hard effort of getting any information.
Michelle-"I knew I should have gone to the downtown area."
Chris-"Same here, I could have gotten a good deal from the guy."
Old man-"Enough of your stupid comments. We are a step closer to reuniting the gundam force."
Leo-"Like I said, the area where the gundam was spotted was nine degrees north."
Chris-"Well what are we waiting for, let's pay the old dragon a visit."
Leo-"One problem."
Chris-"What?"
Leo-"You're not going out there with no acid protected paint on Heavyarms I mean you don't your new paint job ruined."
Chris-"Uh, never mind then. I just put a new paint job and now I have to do another paint job on it."
Michelle-"Looks like you're out on the fun."
Leo-"This isn't a game Michelle, this is Nataku's territory and we don't know what surprises he has in store for us."
Michelle-"Why should I worry, from what I've heard about this dragon he should be no problem."
Old man-"You have never faced Nataku before, I had my battle experience with him before. That gundam was designed to make surprise attacks on unsuspecting targets."
Leo-"The old man has a point."
Michelle-"So what, I am the best pilot you got and may I say the best pilot around of course."
Chris-"Yeah, snotty and short tempered. That about says it all."
Michelle-"Humph."
Leo-"Can't you two ever get along?"
Michelle-"."
Chris-"."
Leo-"Let's skip that. Now let's go."
Michelle and Leo made their way to where Bernie's directions were though no luck yet. Both had been traveling in a double suit carrier but their time imminent for they only had fuel for two days.
Michelle-"It's getting late."
Leo-"More like seven thirty."
Michelle-"Are you sure that salesman was telling the truth? He may have ripped you off."
Leo-"If he did then he'll wish that he had never been born."
Michelle-"I can agree that much with you."
Leo-"Man, I can't believe I got ripped off so easily."
Michelle-"Welcome to reality Leo."
Leo-".Wake me up if anything comes up, I need some rest."
Michelle-"Good night. I can't believe I'm wasting my time here looking for some stupid piece of trash."
An hour has passed and still nothing for the two has shown up yet. Leo was still asleep and Michelle kept watch.
Michelle-"If I have stay here any longer I'll go insane.*sigh* I'm a bit too uptight. Probably because I haven't done any shopping in a while. Shopping usually relaxed me but now look at me. It has been so many years since that day."
Michelle had gone to a flashback to when she was the age of fourteen. Surrounded by flames as her home went down in flames from the attack.
Michelle's father-"Michelle darling, you have to survive this. You must carry on the legacy of our family."
Young Michelle-"Dad, don't say that. I don't want you to leave me."
Michelle's Father-"You're a strong girl and I know you can survive on your own."
Young Michelle-"Dad."
Michelle's father-"Listen, you must stop KANZ. Do not let them take control of the solar system.take this, it will help you in your journey."
Michelle's tears ran down her face as she ran from her home on earth. At a top of a cliff she watched everything go down in flames.
Michelle-"I'll keep my promise Dad, for you and for our entire family I will promise you.revenge."
Michelle came back to focus as the alarm went off on the ship.something was coming.
Michelle-"What a nightmare. Hey Leo wake up."
Leo-"*Yawn* what's going on?"
Michelle-"Looks like we got company."
Leo-"Finally some action."
Michelle-"He could have come sooner."
Leo-"Doesn't matter, let's give him his good welcome."
The two got into their mobile suits and went out in the dark terrain.
Leo-"Man is it dark out here."
Michelle-"Doesn't bother me, I'm used to the dark."
Leo-"That explains your dead pale face."
Michelle-"I wouldn't be talking if I were you, have you looked into a mirror lately?"
Leo-"Never mind, we have to worry about our dragon here."
In the shadows, a figure moved about that the two could not catch. The sound of a beast roared throughout the area as the two stood there. They could see two shadows winding around them like snakes. Out from behind the two shadows struck breathing fire. Both Leo and Michelle dodged it as fast as they could though the two serpents went straight up after them.
Leo-"Damn these things are fast, but they're not fast enough. Activate twin buster rifle, lock on.and."
Leo kept steady as the two approached him at great speed. He made a direct lock on and fired. Unfortunately the two serpents stopped and went back down to dodge the blast as they went back underground.
Michelle-"What the hell was that?"
Leo-"The doc told me that Nataku was equipped with a sort of weapon attached to his arm. It was supposed to be an extending dragon claw that could extend for over ΒΌ of a mile. We have to watch our backs; these things are really powerful when they attack from beneath."
Michelle-"So all we have to do is find the core itself, these serpents are just its arms."
Leo-"Right. Turn on your vibration and sound sensors so we can trace where it's coming from."
Michelle-"Got it. Activating cloak."
Deathscythe had put on its cloak and disappeared from sight leaving Leo a sitting duck.
Leo-"Alright Leo, you can do this just concentrate and stay focused. This guy isn't going to beat you."
Michelle-"Leo, you okay there, you're breathing kind of hard."
Leo-"."
Michelle-"Leo?"
From out of nowhere the two serpents attacked Leo without warning. Leo just stood there without moving an inch.
Leo-"There he is!"
Leo then raised his beam rifle and pointed it on his left side and fired. From the rubble was a green mobile suit, with two serpents extending from its arms. It pulled both serpents back in and drew out a double bladed beam lance.
Leo-"Got you!"
Mysterious pilot-"I'm impressed that you were able to find me but I was more surprised that you came prepared."
Leo-"Well you should always know what you're facing up against before you act."
Mysterious pilot-"Humph, a wise ass aren't we. Well you won't be that way once I'm done with you."
Leo-"Then let see and find out!"
The two had gone into combat at that very moment, the green suit drew out its weapon and Leo drew out his beam saber. The two went head to head at each other; Leo made a series of slashes at the green suit while the suit dodged it. The green suit then began its own assault on Wing Zero though Leo dodged each attack as well. The green suit then launched one of its serpent arms at Zero but he quickly countered it with his saber keeping it from attacking.
Mysterious voice-"You are a formidable opponent, I never faced anyone like you before."
Leo-"I should be saying the same."
Mysterious voice-"Even if you are strong, you won't win."
Leo-"We'll just see about that!"
The green suit had then pulled back its arm and flew backwards; it then afterward flung both of its arms at Leo holding him down to the ground.
Mysterious voice-"You will never live to tell of this day gundam pilot."
Leo-"I won't give up, never."
Mysterious voice-"Hey, why don't you pick on someone your own size."
Just out of nowhere, Deathscythe cam and knocked the green suit off Leo. Deathscythe stood there staring at the green suit.
Michelle-"So this is the gundam Nataku. Kind of looks like a big hunk of trash if you ask me."
Mysterious voice-"You guys are really becoming pests right now."
Michelle-"I should be the one saying that. You call yourself a gundam pilot with that piece of shit there?"
Mysterious voice-"That's the third time you've insulted me."
Michelle-"For a good pilot you still don't know how to count your one two threes."
Mysterious voice-"You called me an amateur back at the station from when I saved your sorry ass."
Michelle--"Wait a sec, you mean you're that guy who saved us from that military ship back at the station?"
Mysterious voice-"Nah, who do ya think it was you dumb ass."
Michelle-"Just for that you're going to regret that you were ever born."
Mysterious voice-"Why don't you do things like other girls do like shopping or boys instead of getting involved in this war?"
Michelle-"I do those things but I love the thrill of battle."
Mysterious voice-"Well you won't be saying that on the trip you'll be going."
Nataku charged right toward Deathscythe and swung his lance at her. He then flung back and launched the left serpent arm at her catching her in a trap. He kept her in that position without letting her go while he charged right back her preparing to thrust his lance through her.
Mysterious voice-"Everything that is given life must die."
Michelle-"No, I made a promise. I will not rest until KANZ will fall down in flames like my family did."
The final blow was about to be made, but at that instance a barrage of artillery attacked Nataku.
Chris-"Sorry about the delay Michelle but the repair mechanisms were a bit slow."
Michelle-"Chris? What the hell are you doing here?"
Chris-"Leo sent out a distress call and I came as fast as I could to his location. You're lucky that I had finished my paint job."
Leo-"Lucky that you got it. Now let's finish this guy off."
Mysterious voice-"Hey, this isn't fair. Three on one is uneven."
Michelle-"Ugh, don't be such a baby. Besides, it's rude to strike a lady down."
Mysterious voice-"Well look at you, a tough cookie and a righteous babe all in one."
Michelle-"Why thank you, but a little compliment won't save you from what is to become of your fate."
Mysterious voice-"Then let's finish this, one on one, to the death!"
Michelle-"Fine by me. You'll learn one way or another that no one ever survives a battle with the Endbringer."
Ch.9
Mysterious voice-"Alright you little bitch, you're going to regret that you picked this day to fight me."
Michelle-"Quit your cheap ass talk and fight, I want to get this over with so I can go back and catch up on my shopping."
Mysterious voice-"Ugh, Women."
Deathscythe charged toward Nataku at maximum speed. She drew out her beam scythe and slashed Nataku across the chest. He then flew backwards and flung both of his serpent arms. Deathscythe dodged the attack and went into stealth. She came up behind and made a quick slash to his boosters.
Mysterious voice-"Shit!"
Michelle-"Your welcome. And now for the grand finally!"
Deathscythe used its saber and created a circle around her. She then drew back her saber, it continued to grow rapidly until it was the length of a city.
Michelle-"ECLIPSE STRIKE!"
She released the energy and threw it against Nataku blowing it away. What remained of the blast was nothing but a burned up Nataku missing only two legs and one arm.
Chris-"Damn, what the hell was that?"
Leo-"I think it came from Deathscythe."
Chris-"Unbelievable."
Michelle-"That should teach you a lesson to remember for life."
Mysterious voice-"Ah shit, weaponry system down, auxiliary power is cut out, mobile system is out, piece of junk won't work anymore."
Michelle-"I'm rather actually enjoying this, I haven't had fun like this in a long time. I have to say you a bit of a challenge but you weren't good enough."
Mysterious voice-"You shut your mouth you little."
Michelle-"What? What can you do to stop me now?"
Mysterious voice-"Ugh."
Chris-"She's really getting aero-dramatic."
Leo-"Well she did win the battle fair and square."
Mysterious voice-"This is only one battle won, there are many more battles to come gundam pilot."
Michelle-"You just can't keep that big mouth of yours close, you're all talk."
Mysterious voice-".Kill me if you want, it won't make a difference anyhow. I have failed to prove myself as a worthy pilot for Nataku."
Chris-"Hey, don't talk like that man."
Leo-"Yeah, it's like you feel like the end of the world is coming."
Michelle-"If he wants to die then let him, it's his decision."
Chris-"You are way too harsh."
Leo-"Anyhow, let's get that suit of yours to our garage. We'll fix it up like it was brand new."
Mysterious voice-"Why do you want to help me when I tried to kill you?"
Leo-"Hey we came to find a gundam and a pilot, and after seeing what you can do we'd be more than glad to have you on our side."
The three brought back Nataku along with the pilot. The old man began having a discussion with the mysterious pilot.
Old man-"So you say you received the blueprints for the gundam from your grandfather and that he passed away three years ago."
Nataku pilot-"Yes, he was a wise and I always looked up to him. He was involved with the war of After Colony 195-196 and in the battle of After Colony 197."
Old man-"Really, he must have lived a long life then."
Nataku pilot-"He did."
Old man-"Tell me, what were you doing guarding that area?"
Nataku pilot-"There was an old abandoned air base there left years ago. It is filled with loads of ammunition and nuclear weaponry, I didn't want anyone to get that type of power with those weapons."
Old man-"Well at least you have good reason. But now back to the battle, now what was it that Michelle finished you off with?"
Nataku pilot-"She created a circle around her and drew back her staff and charged it up for strike. She then slashed me leaving Nataku in critical condition. I think she called it the eclipse strike."
Old man-"I see."
Nataku pilot-"Yeah, the attack nearly leveled the landscape not to mention everything else close by."
Old man-"So are you going to join us? I mean if you want to though."
Nataku pilot-".After hearing your side of the story I made my decision.my name is Chan Motsumaru I am the pilot of Gundam 05 Nataku. I will join your quest in stopping KANZ."
Leo-"Alright."
Old man-"Welcome aboard Chan, I hope your stay with us will be pleasant."
Chan-"Don't worry, one benefit of staying with you guys is that I'll have a second chance to defeat Michelle."
Michelle-"Humph!"
Chris-"Well what's our next stop doc?"
Old man-"We only have one more stop. There have been reports of a desert bandit mobile suit gang on Mercury."
Chris-"Desert bandits?"
Old man-"Yes, the reports say that there have been reports of cargo being stolen on Mercury. The cargo belonged to the property of KANZ."
Chris-"So what are we waiting for?"
Leo-"Let's go, we're one step away from bringing down KANZ once and for all."
Elsewhere, in the vast distance of space.
Soldier-"Sir, here are our latest reports on Project-E."
His Excellency- "Only 50% complete, I would have expected it to be completed sooner."
Soldier-"Sorry sir but we have been having problems with the supplies. The essential parts have been reported stolen on Mercury."
His Excellency-"Stolen? What reports show on who the thieves were?"
Soldier-"Eye witnesses say it was a gundam."
His Excellency-"A gundam is it?"
Soldier-"Sir?"
His Excellency-"These so called gundams are becoming a nuisance to my plans. However, once Project-E is completed those gundams won't know what hit them. But just to be on the safe side I'm putting a bounty on their heads dead or alive."
Soldier-"Yes your Excellency."
His Excellency-"The fools don't know what I have in store for them. Soon you will rise from your grave and have revenge for what those gundams did to you long ago, especially against Wing Zero."
Far deep inside of Earth construction was undergoing, a dark figure with two large demon wings stood in the center of the room. Its demon green eyes glowed as its evil shadow spread throughout the room.
