Ch.25
Another three weeks have passed. The humidity in Cairo is intense. A young man in a cloak has a drink at a bar in the back alleys.
Cloak man-"Give me something hard on ice."
Bartender-"Coming right up.will this do?"
Cloak man-".Good enough."
Bartender-"So what brings you here stranger?"
Cloak man--"I'm just passing by."
Bartender-"I see.are you a bounty hunter?"
Cloak man-"You could say that."
Bartender-"I could tell. So who are you after?"
Cloak man-"Not anyone in particular. By the way, have you seen a half man half cat mutant around carrying a sword?"
Bartender-"Don't think so."
Cloak man-"Dammit!"
Bartender-"But I would like it if you went after KANZ. Those damn assholes, they've been taking over everything ever since."
Cloak man-".I'm sorry, but I don't have that type of power."
The man in the cloak walked out of the bar leaving his pay and a tip. He then walked out into the street. As he walked into the crowd of people, he noticed that a gang of men followed him. They soon came up to him and blocked his way.
Crook1-"Excuse me sir, but do you have any money to spare?"
Crook2-"Yeah, make it quick."
Crook3-"Hand it over."
Cloak man-".It is best that you back off."
Crook2"Oh, and why should we."
The man in the cloak pulled out a gunblade and slashed the thieves. All three of them fell to the ground. The man put the gunblade up and walked away.
Cloak man-"I warned them."
Hours had passed and the young man walked to the edge of the city. He then headed toward a garage. He went in to see a mechanic working on Wing Zero. He then took off his hood revealing himself to be Leo.
Leo-"How's it doing."
Mechanic-"This is a remarkable suit kid. Never seen anything like it."
Leo-"I'm glad to hear that. Hey, no one has been asking about that thing right?"
Mechanic-"Don't worry man. No one came asking about this thing."
Leo-"Good, I don't want any trouble caused around here."
Mechanic-"No problem man."
Leo then walked toward his suit.
Leo-"Well old friend, we leave once again."
Leo then jumped inside the cockpit and activated Wing Zero. He then flew off into the distance. As he was flying, he began to receive a message.
Familiar voice-"So I finally found you."
Leo-"What the?"
On the monitor screen a face appeared.it was Leilong.
Leilong-"Would you mind landing nearby? I have a something to ask of you."
A giant sip was flying over him. It was a giant cargo plane with seven serpent suits guarding it. Leo then landed the Wing Zero and exited the cockpit. As he got out of the cockpit, the giant cargo plane landed. Leilong then came out with five bodyguards.
Leilong-"Tell me, are you Leo Yugo, the pilot of the Gundam Wing Zero that I see before me?"
Leo-"What's it to you?"
Leo was reaching for his gunblade.
Leilong-"No need for violence. As you can see, you're already surrounded and you have no possible chance of escaping. My name is Leilong, I am the head commander of the KANZ cooperation."
Leo-"Grrr!"
Leilong-"Now here me out, I have a preposition for you. How would you like to serve as my new head general? Cloud use to be my head general but recently disappeared along with the Epyon that I gave him. Seeing that you're the only one who has been able to stand a chance against him in battle."
Leo-"Forget it. I refuse to take your offer."
Leilong-"I would reconsider. Think about it, people at your mercy, all the power and glory."
Leo-"Sounds tempting but no."
Leilong-".I see. But now I have something else to ask. I would like to see your piloting skills in an MS battle."
Leo-".It would just be a waste of my time. I don't have to bother dealing with you."
Leilong-".I wanted to refrain from this but.I have serpent troops surrounding your home colony, colony 014. If you don't meet my demands then I will shoot the colony down."
Leo-"."
Leilong-"All I ask for is a simple MS battle, that is all."
Leo-"."
Leilong-"Nothing so hard about. Just get in your suit and fight."
Leo-".You win, we'll have it your way.for now."
Leilong-"Good."
Leo entered Wing Zero's cockpit and prepared for battle. But coming out of the cargo plane a white suit walked out. It wore a red cape, had two huge gems on its shoulders, and had a smaller gem on the left side of its chest.
Leilong-"Allow me to introduce you to my prized suit, the White Knight."
Leo-"Pretty impressive, but can it fight as good as it looks?"
Leilong-"You'll find that it can do more than that soon enough."
Out from the cargo plane, a RF comp flew out and landed into the ground. Though this RF was black.
Leilong-"This is the Dark RF comp, he's a bit different from the others. For one, he allows the battlefield to be much larger. A range up to a maximum of 20 miles wide."
Leo-".Are you going to impress me with your toys all day long or are we going to fight?"
Leilong-"Yes I see, you're impatient and eager. I like that but it will be your downfall."
Dark RF-".Battle mode 666. Wing Zero versus White Knight. Battlefield scanned, mobile suits ready.ready fight!"
Wing Zero flew into the air while White Knight stood there not moving an inch. Wing Zero then stopped and floated there staring down on White Knight. Zero then drew out its beam saber and pointed it at White Knight.
Leo-"Since I'm a nice guy, how about we only duel and not use any other weaponry?"
Leilong-".Yes, a true warrior would only offer a battle such as that. I see that you are such a warrior. Very well, no other weapons. Though you will be unable to use your twin buster rifles on me."
Leo-"That suits me just fine."
Wing Zero then charge toward White Knight at full speed with its beam saber pointing at White Knight. White Knight then drew out a tremendous sword and clashed with Zero. The two were at head to head. Neither of them held back.
Leo-"You're pretty strong for a fancy suit."
Leilong-"You're a formidable as well. Your skills are impressive yet rash and risky. But let me show you how a master battles."
White Knight then flew back and headed straight up into the clouds. He camouflaged himself within the clouds.
Leo-"Nice little trick but you can't hide from me.a little bit of this and a little bit of that and there you have it. Locked on target."
Wing Zero headed straight toward the area White Knight was hiding but as he went closer, he found nothing.
Leo-"Where did he go to? I had him on radar."
Leilong-"Look behind you!"
White Knight came out of nowhere and slashed Zero on the back. Zero quickly struck back but was not fast enough for the slick suit. Zero then flew down to the ground and pulled out his other beam saber. White Knight came down and landed. Leilong's eyes looked straight into Zero's eyes with hatred and fear.
Leilong-"You want to know the secret to gain power?"
Leo-"Not actually and I'm not much interested."
Leilong-"I'll tell you anyhow. Money is good enough it wastes too much but fear is a whole different thing. If you make others fear you they will back down and beg for mercy. That is the way I work."
Leo-".Shame, you believe in honorable battles yet your heart is still empty."
Leilong-"Thank you for the compliment but your mistaken, my heart is only filled with hatred and rage!"
White Knight charged toward Wing Zero at full speed with his sword. He quickly slashed Zero across the chest and slashed him again on the right arm.
Leilong-"Give it up, you're out of your league."
Leo-"You haven't seen anything yet.Leilong!"
Leo then typed in the password in caps Z-E-R-O.
Leo-"Zero system activated.commence destruction."
Leo's eyes began to glow green and so did the same for Wing Zeros.
Leilong-"Now what little trick do you have up your sleeve now boy?"
Leo-"A little trick I used on Cloud but you won't live to see this trick again nor will you see another sunset or moon rise!"
Zero dashed right toward White Knight and flew backward afterward. He then drew out his beam saber and charged toward him again. This time White Knight prepared himself for impact. As Zero came toward him, White Knight powered up his sword. The sword began to glow bright as it grew larger into a gigantic beam saber as long as White Knight itself.
Leilong-"How about if we made things more challenging?"
White Knight then flung its sword toward Zero. Leo quickly reacted with the zero system and dodged the attack right before White Knight could make a hit.
Leilong-"Not bad, you have more potential than I thought."
Leo-".Don't worry, I have a lot more than where that came from."
Zero charged right toward White Knight at full speed. He then slashed White Knight at the lower right. White knight was too slow to block the attack. Zero then flew right behind White Knight and slashed the jet boosters.
Leilong-"Very impressive yet you are too blind to see the true potential of White Knight."
White Knight stood its ground and charged its sword. Zero quickly flew towards him.
Leo-"Looks like he's charging up for a finisher attack. Best watch it."
As Zero went closer and closer, White Knight continued to stand its ground. However, at the moment Zero was about to strike White Knight, Leilong then sent off a powerful blast from White Knights sword critically damaging Wing Zero.
Leo-"Where did that come from, Zero didn't even see that attack coming."
Leilong-"What did you expect me to do, slash you? Your zero system is truly impressive but not even that can save you. White Knight was especially design to counter a suit with that system. Did I also mention my own little battle system; I call it the duel system. This system is much stronger than the zero system. It allows the pilot not only to predict the enemy's moves and see the future but it can also allows the pilot to feel the pain that the suit feels. It can also allow the pilot to control the suit with his or her mind and free will. Give it up, there's no use in trying because you already lost."
Leo-".I won't give up.not to a heartless being like you."
Leilong-".So be it then, you have sealed your fate."
White Knight charged toward Zero at ramming speed with his sword pointing out like a spear.
Leo-"I.I.I.."
White Knight came closer and closer to Zero with his sword and was about to slash him in half. Everything became black around Leo as he saw that his life was about to end right before his eyes. He then saw visions, visions of his friends and the memories he had with them. He then saw his father right in front of him.
Leo's father-"Leo, don't give up, be strong."
Leo-"I.I can't, I just can't beat him dad!"
Leo's father-"Fate decides what your destiny is and dying right here is not what you are destined for. I know you have the strength and courage to survive. You are a gundam pilot and I know that for fact, you will show this heartless soul no mercy and the power of what the gundams hold within."
White Knight was about to destroy Zero until Leo regained conscious.
Leo-"I WILL SURVIVE!"
Zero then shot a bright light from the core on its chest at White Knight. The beam saber began to glow brightly. Zero the slashed White Knight across the chest and sent him flying. Zero then walked toward White Knight. His eyes glowed as bright as the moon.
Leo-"I am a gundam pilot and you're nothing a heartless being who must be eliminated."
Leilong-"No way, how could you overcome White Knight? No matter, you won't survive this attack."
White Charged toward Zero again but Leo held Zeros right arm out calling for his beam cannon. Both of his cannons flew right into his arms. Zero then aimed it at White Knight and fired at full power. White Knight greatly damaged from the blast. Leo then shot another blast and knocked off White Knights head.
Leo-"This battle is over and you lost."
Leilong exited White Knights cockpit while Wing Zero pointed the beam cannon at him.
Leilong-".Fine then, you have proven yourself worthy of a pilot. You may leave if you want. Though I do hope we battle again someday."
Leo looked down on him and then afterward flew off.
Dark RF-"White Knight is no longer able to function. The winner is.Wing Zero."
".My what an interesting friend Michelle has. Although I feel that he may be more than just any normal pilot to deal with. Until next time Leo.we will finish this to the very end."
Ch.26
It was a normal day just like any other for the gundam pilots; they had just arrived at New York City. Chris was being sarcastic, as always, Chan was working out at the weight room, Blake had been dealing with the expensive, and the doc was researching classified KANZ documents. Jason was working on Tallgeese and Michelle was having a tan on the dock.
Michelle-"Nothing exciting has happened much. Oh man what I would do just to get in Deathscythe and destroy mobile suits. Thought the sun is shining bright so I might as well take a good tan."
Chris-"Well what do we have here? A little girl who got lost."
Michelle-"Can't you bother someone else Chris?"
Chris-"Sorry but its so god damn boring so I thought I would annoy the shit out of you."
Michelle-"You're right on one part but could you go away and fuck someone or something."
Chris-"At times you can be a real bitch you know that."
Michelle-"I know and I'm proud of it now fuck off!"
Chris-"Alright but just because your being a bitch."
Michelle then threw her glass of lemonade at him. Though the cup was plastic, Chris was covered in lemonade.
Chris-"Thanks for the refreshment."
Michelle smiled.
Michelle-".Your welcome."
Chris-".I."
Chris was about to lose his temper.
Michelle-"You're excused no like I said fuck off!"
Chris-".I don't know why I put up with her."
During the time, Jason was working on Tallgeese. While he was working, he thought about what happened back at the Trojan base.
Jason-"I just don't get it. Deathscythe exiled Cloud from piloting him. It was as if Deathscythe had a soul. But is it possible, possible for a gundam to have their own soul?"
Old man-"I see you're working hard."
Jason-"Hey Doc. I'm just thinking."
Old man-"Thinking about what happened back at the Trojan base?"
Jason-"Yeah. But is it possible that a machine could have a soul?"
Old man-"I'm not quite sure myself yet I have seen stranger things than that. But yes, it is possible for a gundam to have a soul and I have seen for myself. You see, the original creators didn't intend to use the gundam as tools for war."
Jason-"So what purpose did they have for building them?"
Old man-"The gundams were made so they could bring peace throughout our world not to wage a war. The creators put their heart into making the gundams. Five pilots were chosen to pilot the original gundams. I was one of the five, I piloted Deathscythe. Duo Maxwell, the god of death."
Jason-"I knew there was more to you than I thought yet I couldn't point out how."
Duo-".So long ago, I miss the old days when I was young. When I first met Deathscythe, I felt a special bond between him and I. It was as if we shared the same soul. This was also the same for the other gundam pilots."
Jason-"Who were the other pilots, there was no data recording who they were?"
Duo-"They made sure no one would find out that they were the original gundam pilots. Though I remember each and every one of them. Quatra Whinner the pilot of Sandrock, Wufei Chan the pilot of Nataku, Trowa Barton the pilot of Heavyarms, and Heero Yuy the pilot of Wing Zero."
Jason-".So are they all alive?"
"Chan is the grandson of Wufei and said that he died a while back. Quatra still lives as the president of Egypt. Trowa now owns a circus. But Heero, heaven knows where he is. That man was a real lone wolf. He was not to be trusted with, yet he did have a good heart it was just he could never show it."
Jason-".I keep this a secret."
Duo-"Thank you, if the other knew then oh boy. They would storm with questions."
Jason-"Don't worry about it.but one thing."
Duo-"What?"
Jason-"Were you better than us at our age?"
Duo-".I'm still good though if you tried, you would be nothing more than a waste of my time. That also goes the same for the other pilots. We were exceptionally good and you all are nothing but rookies. I told you more than enough so quit asking questions."
Jason-"Alright."
Just then, Blake walked in on the conversation.
Blake-"Hey guys, what's up?"
Jason-"Nothing much. You took care of the bills?"
Blake-"All paid for though we do need some spare cash. We're a bit low."
Jason-"Guess we'll have to go in a few MS battles again."
Blake-"No problem, I mean we are the gundam pilots for heavens sake."
Duo-"Don't get too cocky, there are many challenges that you still must face as a gundam pilot."
Jason-"Not to mention we haven't been in a few MS battles for a long time. Our rank must have gone down real bad."
Chris had then came in hearing the conversation.
Chris-"Like how far."
Blake-"Let me check.shit!"
Jason-"What is it?"
Blake-".Rank.E."
Chris-"Ah damn that's low."
Duo-"Apparently since your first battle with Cloud brought you down real far."
Blake-"Now how are we going to get any challengers now, no one will fight a low classed team."
Chris-"Relax guys, we'll find a way to gain our rank back."
Jason-"You make it sound like if it were a game Chris but this is serious."
Chris-"I know that but I also know how we can regain our rank. I heard about a place here where they have street MS battles. You go against the toughest of opponents and gain high points if you win."
Michelle--"Yet like he said, the opponents are extremely tough and brutal might I add."
Chris-"What the hell do you know Michelle?"
Michelle-"I've been to that place before. They call it Blood Streak Battles; it is extremely hard and fatal in most ways. Last time I came here I rained as the number one street pilot."
Chris-"And how long ago was that?"
Michelle-"About one year ago. I actually enjoyed it though, child's play if you put it in most ways."
Blake-"But is there an entrance fee?"
Michelle-"I was getting to that part. The only way you can enter in the competition, you have to put a lot of money on the line."
Blake-"You mean the winner gets all the money that's put in?"
Michelle-"Yeah but if you lose and have no money.they take your suit away and keep it for their own. But the worse part is that it is a battle royal."
Chris-"Battle royal!"
Blake-"You don't mean where everyone goes head on against each other?"
Michelle-"That's exactly how it is."
Chris-".Well I'm up for some fun, me and Heavyarms will blow those other suits away."
Chan soon came in overhearing the conversation as well.
Chan-"It would be a great workout for Nataku."
Blake-"I don't know if Sandrock could handle it but I'm in."
Jason-"Those amateurs don't stand a chance against Tallgeese and his power."
Michelle-"I'm warning you though, street pilots play dirty and never go by the rules. It's all or nothing hard-core."
Chris-"What's there to be worried about, we're the gundam pilots and no ordinary suit could take us down."
Michelle-"Sometimes I wonder if he ever listens to anybody."
Chris-"So what d'ya say Doc?"
Duo-"It's dangerous but why not, when I was young I would jump to any challenge. We do need the money badly."
Chris-"Well then what the hell are we sitting are asses here for, let's go kick ass!"
Michelle-"Well it usually starts at night down below the city. The arena is located in an underground area below the city. It was said to be the old New York before colonies were made. It's now a waste land for those who are homeless."
Chris-"Then let's rep up the gundams. It's time to kick ass once again."
As the day passed by, the gundam pilots headed for the underground arena entering the street competition. By seven p.m. sharp, the pilots had arrived. The underground world was filled with black lights and gangsters, sluts, and thieves.
Chan-"Nice place."
Blake-"Kind of reminds me of Mercury. Full of no good dishonest bastards."
Chan-"Just like you are Blake."
Blake-"Thank you."
Jason-"Quit fooling around, we have to sign up for the competition."
Street pilot1-"Well look who returned. It's our old punching bag Michelle."
Street pilot2-"Who'd ever thought she come back. After how we humiliated her the last time."
Michelle turned her head away from the two gangsters. One was tall, buffed up, leather jacket with no sleeves, leather pants, and commando boots. The other one was a short puny guy; he wore a white T-shirt, ripped blue jeans, and leather boots along with a black bandanna over his head.
Street pilot1-"So you still recognize us do ya?"
Street pilot2-"How could she forget what we did to her? We nearly made her a laughing stock all around of New York."
Michelle-"."
Chris-"Hey Michelle, what hell are these two boneheads talking about?"
Street pilot2-"Well if you must know, when little Michelle was last here we blew her away."
Street pilot1-"Yeah, not to mention her mobile suit. Oh, and speaking of your mobile suit, we still have it in mint condition."
Street pilot2-"You can look at it if you want."
Street pilot1-"But you can't have it back."
Chris-"Hey, leave her alone."
Street pilot1-"What are you going to do about it amateur?"
Michelle-"Guys, let's just leave. I had enough than I could take."
Blake-"Hey, we came to get some cash and to improve our rank and we're not leaving until we do."
Street pilot2-"Good luck rookie, no one has been ever beaten us in the competition."
Chris-"Well you haven't heard of us yet then."
Street pilot1-"Why do we need to know who you are, it never matters because we always win."
Chan-"Well can you win an old fashion fist fight."
Jason-"Down Chan. Look, we don't know what happened before and in most ways I don't give damn shit what you say. We are going to kick your ass down to the ground!"
Street pilot1-"Try if you might but there is no way you losers could ever win."
Street pilot2-"Come on boss, let's leave these losers behind so their loyal fleas can mourn them."
The two men went off leaving the team behind.
Chris-"Who the hell were those guys?"
Michelle-"The tall guy was Mitch and the small one was Joe. They were the ones who beat me here last time. It was after I got Deathscythe. I never entered Deathscythe because I didn't wanted to take the chance of loosing him."
Blake-"But you said you reined as the street champ around here."
Michelle-"I was for only three months until those two came along. My other suit was a white taurus from which I got from for a fair price."
Chris-"Don't worry, now that you have us by your side, theirs no way you could possibly lose."
Michelle-"Just stay out of my issues alright."
Chris-"Fine then, let's just sign in, get our money, improve our rank, and go home."
Michelle-"Easier said than done."
Chris-"Come on, how hard could it be?"
The pilots entered themselves in the battle royal competition hoping for victory.
Sign-in director-"Rookies huh? Well let me just explain how things go around here. In the battle royal you must go against a numerous amount of suits from different teams. You could end up having two teams gang up on you or even more."
Blake-"Yeah, we know how it goes."
Sign-in director-"Well okay, just put your mobile suits over in the docking bay with the rest. Oh and one more thing. Opposing teams usually tend to sabotage their opponents suits so be careful."
Chris-"Don't worry about it."
Sign-in director- "Don't say I didn't warn you."
The pilots had set up their suits at the docking bay and guarded them carefully so that no one would sabotage them. The competition was then about to begin. Every pilot entered his or her suit preparing for battle. The suits then walked out into the arena.
Chris-"Look at this place, it must be twenty miles wide in diameter."
Jason-"Don't get too cocky Chris, we have to work together in this and try not to get separated. If we stay together we can stand a chance but like they say, divide and conquer and that's what they do around here. They divide teams up and take down each member one by one until there's no one left."
Chris-"Got ya."
The battle began as suits all around began fighting. The team started to fight as well, taking down every suit they came upon. Heavyarms launched his missiles at his opponents sending them flying. Nataku sneak attacked his victims while Sandrock sliced up the competition. Tallgeese though was having no trouble at all defeating his opponents; he used both his cannon and beam saber to take them down.
Blake-"Man this is too easy. I don't see why Michelle said it was hard, I've hardly used half of my ammo."
Chan-"I agree, these pilots are no challenge to Nataku and I."
Jason-"Don't get too cocky, there's still about.two more to go?"
Chris-"That's it? I might as well finish them off myself."
Chan-"Chris, wait!"
Heavyarms took off into the direction where the last two suits were. However, when he arrived, he found no suits to be found in sight.
Chris-"Where the hell are they? The radar says I'm right on top of them.and I am."
Heavyarms quickly flew to the air and fired down on the ground. The two suits came out the ground revealing themselves. One was a white taurus, the other was a four-legged brown suit, with duel-barrel machine guns, and a rocket launcher mounted on the right shoulder.
Mitch-"Well look what we have here, the rookie is doing pretty well for his first day."
Joe-"Pretty impressive suit you got there, kid."
Mitch-"How about we trade you this white Taurus for that suit?"
Chris-"You must think I'm real stupid to go with that. Well I'm not so eat this you damn mother fuckers!"
Heavyarms launched its entire artillery on the two suits creating a giant cloud of smoke. However, to Chris's amazement, the two suits didn't even have a single scratch on them. The four-legged suit then fired its rocket launcher on Heavyarms. Heavyarms was blown out of the sky but was still in tact after it crashed landed.
Mitch-"Did I forget to introduce you to Aracnoid? He's a four-legged suit with incredible power. I never lost with this suit before."
Chris-"Man, he isn't kidding. Heavyarms is almost out of commission."
Blake-"Hang on Chris I'm coming."
Sandrock soon came to Chris's aid firing its machine gun at the two suits.
Mitch-"Man, my old man could shoot better than you can and he's dead."
Blake-"Why don't you just stand still and shut your mouth."
Sandrock came at ramming speed towards Aracnoid. However, Aracnoid was too quick and dodged the attack. The spider mobile suit then launched an onslaught of missiles at Sandrock. Sandrock laid there on the ground motionless.
Blake-"Damn, I can't move."
Mitch-"My turn then."
Nataku came out of no where attacking Aracnoid with its two serpent claws.
Chan-"Is this the best you have to offer?"
Joe-"We've seen roadkill do better than that shit."
Chan-"Oh? Then chew on this assholes."
Both claws went underground; they soon came up and snatched Aracnoid's two back legs. Yet Aracnoid quickly freed itself from the trap and fired another onslaught at Nataku.
Joe-"Too easy."
Mitch-"Now there's only pretty boy and Michelle."
Both mobile suits went after Tallgeese first without warning. Jason quickly saw the two coming and prepared himself. Aracnoid then rammed into Tallgeese forcing it into the wall.
Joe-"Save some for me boss."
The white taurus then fired its beam cannon at Tallgeese. Tallgeese quickly dodged the attack and fired its beam cannon at the suit.
Joe-"Ha! You missed."
Mitch-"Time to end this little game of ours."
Aracnoid then pulled out a giant cannon from its shoulders and aimed it at Tallgeese. The cannon fired and made a direct hit at Tallgeese. The damage was critical as the left arm was torn off and half of the face of the head was gone.
Mitch-"Well what do you know, he was able to survive the skull bash cannon."
Joe-"Give it another shot boss."
Mitch-"Right. Learn this rookie, I will always rein as champ and you will be nothing more than dog shit."
Aracnoid was preparing to fire the cannon again and Tallgeese was not able to move one inch. However, out of no where, Deathscythe sliced the cannon in half off Aracnoids shoulder.
Joe-"The hell was that?"
Michelle-"Did you miss me boys?"
Mitch-"Michelle."
Joe-"Pretty impressive mobile suit you got there, Michelle. How about a deal, if we win we get that new suit of yours but if you win you can have both of our suits. What d'ya say?"
Michelle-".Fools, you don't know what your getting yourself into. Yet I'll accept the deal but I highly recommend that you back out while you still can."
Mitch-"You think you'll win, ha! You're going to lose just like last time."
Joe-"Time to bow down to your superior loser."
Michelle-".It that's what you want."
Deathscythe disappeared into the darkness without a trace.
Joe-"Where the hell did she go?"
Deathscythe came right behind the white Taurus and slashed it in half. Right after, Michelle set her eyes on Aracnoid and charged toward it.
Michelle-"You're a fool, never underestimate the power of the gundam!"
Mitch-"What the hell, a gundam!"
Within a single second, Aracnoid was slashed in four by Deathscythe. Every single piece of the body fell to the ground. Yet, Michelle wasn't finished. She was preparing the Eclipse Strike on Deathscythe to finish off her opponents.
Michelle-"Who's the loser now!"
There was nothing left but rubble. There was no sign of the pilot anywhere.
Michelle-"Here's a lesson for all you assholes, never ever mess with the Endbringer, because she may come for your soul. That I promise you."
Soon after, the pilots collected their prize money and according to Michelle's little deal, she kept both the Aracnoid and the white Taurus. They soon left with satisfaction seeing that their rank right back up to rank B.
Blake-"So what are you going to do with those other two suits Michelle?"
Michelle-"They're nothing but worthless pieces of junk, I might as well sell them. I do need some money do to do some shopping."
Blake-"Again?"
Michelle-"Can't a woman have some fun?"
Blake-"If you call blowing off your money on shit fun then I doubt it."
Chan-"We should concentrate at the task at hand."
Chris-"What do you mean?"
Chan-"Now that our rank is up again it's time to move on. Word says that KANZ is making something big in space. It could mean the end to this war and the end of the Federation along with the beginning era of KANZ."
Blake-"So you're telling us that we're going back into space?"
Chan-"More particularly Mars. They're calling it project Epsilon and the project is being constructed around Mars."
Jason-"Always wanted to visit the red planet. Hear you can get good tan there."
Chan-"We're not going to be there for fun, we're on a mission to stop KANZ at all costs even if it costs us our lives."
Chris-"."
Jason-"Well what the hell, I'd put my life on the line if it were to stop that shit head Leilong."
Blake-"Same here, KANZ has been a pain in my ass since I don't know when."
Jason-"They underestimate the power of us and our gundams yet they don't really know who they're fucking with."
Chris-"."
Blake-"Why are you so quiet all of a sudden Chris?"
Chris-"Just wondering. Wondering if we'll ever see Leo again."
Jason-"Hey, the guy's tough. He can handle anything on his own."
Chris-"Guess you're right, I mean we've been friends ever since we were 3 years old. If I know him, he'll come through and we'll meet up again."
Blake-"We're just a few steps away to stop KANZ once and for all."
Another three weeks have passed. The humidity in Cairo is intense. A young man in a cloak has a drink at a bar in the back alleys.
Cloak man-"Give me something hard on ice."
Bartender-"Coming right up.will this do?"
Cloak man-".Good enough."
Bartender-"So what brings you here stranger?"
Cloak man--"I'm just passing by."
Bartender-"I see.are you a bounty hunter?"
Cloak man-"You could say that."
Bartender-"I could tell. So who are you after?"
Cloak man-"Not anyone in particular. By the way, have you seen a half man half cat mutant around carrying a sword?"
Bartender-"Don't think so."
Cloak man-"Dammit!"
Bartender-"But I would like it if you went after KANZ. Those damn assholes, they've been taking over everything ever since."
Cloak man-".I'm sorry, but I don't have that type of power."
The man in the cloak walked out of the bar leaving his pay and a tip. He then walked out into the street. As he walked into the crowd of people, he noticed that a gang of men followed him. They soon came up to him and blocked his way.
Crook1-"Excuse me sir, but do you have any money to spare?"
Crook2-"Yeah, make it quick."
Crook3-"Hand it over."
Cloak man-".It is best that you back off."
Crook2"Oh, and why should we."
The man in the cloak pulled out a gunblade and slashed the thieves. All three of them fell to the ground. The man put the gunblade up and walked away.
Cloak man-"I warned them."
Hours had passed and the young man walked to the edge of the city. He then headed toward a garage. He went in to see a mechanic working on Wing Zero. He then took off his hood revealing himself to be Leo.
Leo-"How's it doing."
Mechanic-"This is a remarkable suit kid. Never seen anything like it."
Leo-"I'm glad to hear that. Hey, no one has been asking about that thing right?"
Mechanic-"Don't worry man. No one came asking about this thing."
Leo-"Good, I don't want any trouble caused around here."
Mechanic-"No problem man."
Leo then walked toward his suit.
Leo-"Well old friend, we leave once again."
Leo then jumped inside the cockpit and activated Wing Zero. He then flew off into the distance. As he was flying, he began to receive a message.
Familiar voice-"So I finally found you."
Leo-"What the?"
On the monitor screen a face appeared.it was Leilong.
Leilong-"Would you mind landing nearby? I have a something to ask of you."
A giant sip was flying over him. It was a giant cargo plane with seven serpent suits guarding it. Leo then landed the Wing Zero and exited the cockpit. As he got out of the cockpit, the giant cargo plane landed. Leilong then came out with five bodyguards.
Leilong-"Tell me, are you Leo Yugo, the pilot of the Gundam Wing Zero that I see before me?"
Leo-"What's it to you?"
Leo was reaching for his gunblade.
Leilong-"No need for violence. As you can see, you're already surrounded and you have no possible chance of escaping. My name is Leilong, I am the head commander of the KANZ cooperation."
Leo-"Grrr!"
Leilong-"Now here me out, I have a preposition for you. How would you like to serve as my new head general? Cloud use to be my head general but recently disappeared along with the Epyon that I gave him. Seeing that you're the only one who has been able to stand a chance against him in battle."
Leo-"Forget it. I refuse to take your offer."
Leilong-"I would reconsider. Think about it, people at your mercy, all the power and glory."
Leo-"Sounds tempting but no."
Leilong-".I see. But now I have something else to ask. I would like to see your piloting skills in an MS battle."
Leo-".It would just be a waste of my time. I don't have to bother dealing with you."
Leilong-".I wanted to refrain from this but.I have serpent troops surrounding your home colony, colony 014. If you don't meet my demands then I will shoot the colony down."
Leo-"."
Leilong-"All I ask for is a simple MS battle, that is all."
Leo-"."
Leilong-"Nothing so hard about. Just get in your suit and fight."
Leo-".You win, we'll have it your way.for now."
Leilong-"Good."
Leo entered Wing Zero's cockpit and prepared for battle. But coming out of the cargo plane a white suit walked out. It wore a red cape, had two huge gems on its shoulders, and had a smaller gem on the left side of its chest.
Leilong-"Allow me to introduce you to my prized suit, the White Knight."
Leo-"Pretty impressive, but can it fight as good as it looks?"
Leilong-"You'll find that it can do more than that soon enough."
Out from the cargo plane, a RF comp flew out and landed into the ground. Though this RF was black.
Leilong-"This is the Dark RF comp, he's a bit different from the others. For one, he allows the battlefield to be much larger. A range up to a maximum of 20 miles wide."
Leo-".Are you going to impress me with your toys all day long or are we going to fight?"
Leilong-"Yes I see, you're impatient and eager. I like that but it will be your downfall."
Dark RF-".Battle mode 666. Wing Zero versus White Knight. Battlefield scanned, mobile suits ready.ready fight!"
Wing Zero flew into the air while White Knight stood there not moving an inch. Wing Zero then stopped and floated there staring down on White Knight. Zero then drew out its beam saber and pointed it at White Knight.
Leo-"Since I'm a nice guy, how about we only duel and not use any other weaponry?"
Leilong-".Yes, a true warrior would only offer a battle such as that. I see that you are such a warrior. Very well, no other weapons. Though you will be unable to use your twin buster rifles on me."
Leo-"That suits me just fine."
Wing Zero then charge toward White Knight at full speed with its beam saber pointing at White Knight. White Knight then drew out a tremendous sword and clashed with Zero. The two were at head to head. Neither of them held back.
Leo-"You're pretty strong for a fancy suit."
Leilong-"You're a formidable as well. Your skills are impressive yet rash and risky. But let me show you how a master battles."
White Knight then flew back and headed straight up into the clouds. He camouflaged himself within the clouds.
Leo-"Nice little trick but you can't hide from me.a little bit of this and a little bit of that and there you have it. Locked on target."
Wing Zero headed straight toward the area White Knight was hiding but as he went closer, he found nothing.
Leo-"Where did he go to? I had him on radar."
Leilong-"Look behind you!"
White Knight came out of nowhere and slashed Zero on the back. Zero quickly struck back but was not fast enough for the slick suit. Zero then flew down to the ground and pulled out his other beam saber. White Knight came down and landed. Leilong's eyes looked straight into Zero's eyes with hatred and fear.
Leilong-"You want to know the secret to gain power?"
Leo-"Not actually and I'm not much interested."
Leilong-"I'll tell you anyhow. Money is good enough it wastes too much but fear is a whole different thing. If you make others fear you they will back down and beg for mercy. That is the way I work."
Leo-".Shame, you believe in honorable battles yet your heart is still empty."
Leilong-"Thank you for the compliment but your mistaken, my heart is only filled with hatred and rage!"
White Knight charged toward Wing Zero at full speed with his sword. He quickly slashed Zero across the chest and slashed him again on the right arm.
Leilong-"Give it up, you're out of your league."
Leo-"You haven't seen anything yet.Leilong!"
Leo then typed in the password in caps Z-E-R-O.
Leo-"Zero system activated.commence destruction."
Leo's eyes began to glow green and so did the same for Wing Zeros.
Leilong-"Now what little trick do you have up your sleeve now boy?"
Leo-"A little trick I used on Cloud but you won't live to see this trick again nor will you see another sunset or moon rise!"
Zero dashed right toward White Knight and flew backward afterward. He then drew out his beam saber and charged toward him again. This time White Knight prepared himself for impact. As Zero came toward him, White Knight powered up his sword. The sword began to glow bright as it grew larger into a gigantic beam saber as long as White Knight itself.
Leilong-"How about if we made things more challenging?"
White Knight then flung its sword toward Zero. Leo quickly reacted with the zero system and dodged the attack right before White Knight could make a hit.
Leilong-"Not bad, you have more potential than I thought."
Leo-".Don't worry, I have a lot more than where that came from."
Zero charged right toward White Knight at full speed. He then slashed White Knight at the lower right. White knight was too slow to block the attack. Zero then flew right behind White Knight and slashed the jet boosters.
Leilong-"Very impressive yet you are too blind to see the true potential of White Knight."
White Knight stood its ground and charged its sword. Zero quickly flew towards him.
Leo-"Looks like he's charging up for a finisher attack. Best watch it."
As Zero went closer and closer, White Knight continued to stand its ground. However, at the moment Zero was about to strike White Knight, Leilong then sent off a powerful blast from White Knights sword critically damaging Wing Zero.
Leo-"Where did that come from, Zero didn't even see that attack coming."
Leilong-"What did you expect me to do, slash you? Your zero system is truly impressive but not even that can save you. White Knight was especially design to counter a suit with that system. Did I also mention my own little battle system; I call it the duel system. This system is much stronger than the zero system. It allows the pilot not only to predict the enemy's moves and see the future but it can also allows the pilot to feel the pain that the suit feels. It can also allow the pilot to control the suit with his or her mind and free will. Give it up, there's no use in trying because you already lost."
Leo-".I won't give up.not to a heartless being like you."
Leilong-".So be it then, you have sealed your fate."
White Knight charged toward Zero at ramming speed with his sword pointing out like a spear.
Leo-"I.I.I.."
White Knight came closer and closer to Zero with his sword and was about to slash him in half. Everything became black around Leo as he saw that his life was about to end right before his eyes. He then saw visions, visions of his friends and the memories he had with them. He then saw his father right in front of him.
Leo's father-"Leo, don't give up, be strong."
Leo-"I.I can't, I just can't beat him dad!"
Leo's father-"Fate decides what your destiny is and dying right here is not what you are destined for. I know you have the strength and courage to survive. You are a gundam pilot and I know that for fact, you will show this heartless soul no mercy and the power of what the gundams hold within."
White Knight was about to destroy Zero until Leo regained conscious.
Leo-"I WILL SURVIVE!"
Zero then shot a bright light from the core on its chest at White Knight. The beam saber began to glow brightly. Zero the slashed White Knight across the chest and sent him flying. Zero then walked toward White Knight. His eyes glowed as bright as the moon.
Leo-"I am a gundam pilot and you're nothing a heartless being who must be eliminated."
Leilong-"No way, how could you overcome White Knight? No matter, you won't survive this attack."
White Charged toward Zero again but Leo held Zeros right arm out calling for his beam cannon. Both of his cannons flew right into his arms. Zero then aimed it at White Knight and fired at full power. White Knight greatly damaged from the blast. Leo then shot another blast and knocked off White Knights head.
Leo-"This battle is over and you lost."
Leilong exited White Knights cockpit while Wing Zero pointed the beam cannon at him.
Leilong-".Fine then, you have proven yourself worthy of a pilot. You may leave if you want. Though I do hope we battle again someday."
Leo looked down on him and then afterward flew off.
Dark RF-"White Knight is no longer able to function. The winner is.Wing Zero."
".My what an interesting friend Michelle has. Although I feel that he may be more than just any normal pilot to deal with. Until next time Leo.we will finish this to the very end."
Ch.26
It was a normal day just like any other for the gundam pilots; they had just arrived at New York City. Chris was being sarcastic, as always, Chan was working out at the weight room, Blake had been dealing with the expensive, and the doc was researching classified KANZ documents. Jason was working on Tallgeese and Michelle was having a tan on the dock.
Michelle-"Nothing exciting has happened much. Oh man what I would do just to get in Deathscythe and destroy mobile suits. Thought the sun is shining bright so I might as well take a good tan."
Chris-"Well what do we have here? A little girl who got lost."
Michelle-"Can't you bother someone else Chris?"
Chris-"Sorry but its so god damn boring so I thought I would annoy the shit out of you."
Michelle-"You're right on one part but could you go away and fuck someone or something."
Chris-"At times you can be a real bitch you know that."
Michelle-"I know and I'm proud of it now fuck off!"
Chris-"Alright but just because your being a bitch."
Michelle then threw her glass of lemonade at him. Though the cup was plastic, Chris was covered in lemonade.
Chris-"Thanks for the refreshment."
Michelle smiled.
Michelle-".Your welcome."
Chris-".I."
Chris was about to lose his temper.
Michelle-"You're excused no like I said fuck off!"
Chris-".I don't know why I put up with her."
During the time, Jason was working on Tallgeese. While he was working, he thought about what happened back at the Trojan base.
Jason-"I just don't get it. Deathscythe exiled Cloud from piloting him. It was as if Deathscythe had a soul. But is it possible, possible for a gundam to have their own soul?"
Old man-"I see you're working hard."
Jason-"Hey Doc. I'm just thinking."
Old man-"Thinking about what happened back at the Trojan base?"
Jason-"Yeah. But is it possible that a machine could have a soul?"
Old man-"I'm not quite sure myself yet I have seen stranger things than that. But yes, it is possible for a gundam to have a soul and I have seen for myself. You see, the original creators didn't intend to use the gundam as tools for war."
Jason-"So what purpose did they have for building them?"
Old man-"The gundams were made so they could bring peace throughout our world not to wage a war. The creators put their heart into making the gundams. Five pilots were chosen to pilot the original gundams. I was one of the five, I piloted Deathscythe. Duo Maxwell, the god of death."
Jason-"I knew there was more to you than I thought yet I couldn't point out how."
Duo-".So long ago, I miss the old days when I was young. When I first met Deathscythe, I felt a special bond between him and I. It was as if we shared the same soul. This was also the same for the other gundam pilots."
Jason-"Who were the other pilots, there was no data recording who they were?"
Duo-"They made sure no one would find out that they were the original gundam pilots. Though I remember each and every one of them. Quatra Whinner the pilot of Sandrock, Wufei Chan the pilot of Nataku, Trowa Barton the pilot of Heavyarms, and Heero Yuy the pilot of Wing Zero."
Jason-".So are they all alive?"
"Chan is the grandson of Wufei and said that he died a while back. Quatra still lives as the president of Egypt. Trowa now owns a circus. But Heero, heaven knows where he is. That man was a real lone wolf. He was not to be trusted with, yet he did have a good heart it was just he could never show it."
Jason-".I keep this a secret."
Duo-"Thank you, if the other knew then oh boy. They would storm with questions."
Jason-"Don't worry about it.but one thing."
Duo-"What?"
Jason-"Were you better than us at our age?"
Duo-".I'm still good though if you tried, you would be nothing more than a waste of my time. That also goes the same for the other pilots. We were exceptionally good and you all are nothing but rookies. I told you more than enough so quit asking questions."
Jason-"Alright."
Just then, Blake walked in on the conversation.
Blake-"Hey guys, what's up?"
Jason-"Nothing much. You took care of the bills?"
Blake-"All paid for though we do need some spare cash. We're a bit low."
Jason-"Guess we'll have to go in a few MS battles again."
Blake-"No problem, I mean we are the gundam pilots for heavens sake."
Duo-"Don't get too cocky, there are many challenges that you still must face as a gundam pilot."
Jason-"Not to mention we haven't been in a few MS battles for a long time. Our rank must have gone down real bad."
Chris had then came in hearing the conversation.
Chris-"Like how far."
Blake-"Let me check.shit!"
Jason-"What is it?"
Blake-".Rank.E."
Chris-"Ah damn that's low."
Duo-"Apparently since your first battle with Cloud brought you down real far."
Blake-"Now how are we going to get any challengers now, no one will fight a low classed team."
Chris-"Relax guys, we'll find a way to gain our rank back."
Jason-"You make it sound like if it were a game Chris but this is serious."
Chris-"I know that but I also know how we can regain our rank. I heard about a place here where they have street MS battles. You go against the toughest of opponents and gain high points if you win."
Michelle--"Yet like he said, the opponents are extremely tough and brutal might I add."
Chris-"What the hell do you know Michelle?"
Michelle-"I've been to that place before. They call it Blood Streak Battles; it is extremely hard and fatal in most ways. Last time I came here I rained as the number one street pilot."
Chris-"And how long ago was that?"
Michelle-"About one year ago. I actually enjoyed it though, child's play if you put it in most ways."
Blake-"But is there an entrance fee?"
Michelle-"I was getting to that part. The only way you can enter in the competition, you have to put a lot of money on the line."
Blake-"You mean the winner gets all the money that's put in?"
Michelle-"Yeah but if you lose and have no money.they take your suit away and keep it for their own. But the worse part is that it is a battle royal."
Chris-"Battle royal!"
Blake-"You don't mean where everyone goes head on against each other?"
Michelle-"That's exactly how it is."
Chris-".Well I'm up for some fun, me and Heavyarms will blow those other suits away."
Chan soon came in overhearing the conversation as well.
Chan-"It would be a great workout for Nataku."
Blake-"I don't know if Sandrock could handle it but I'm in."
Jason-"Those amateurs don't stand a chance against Tallgeese and his power."
Michelle-"I'm warning you though, street pilots play dirty and never go by the rules. It's all or nothing hard-core."
Chris-"What's there to be worried about, we're the gundam pilots and no ordinary suit could take us down."
Michelle-"Sometimes I wonder if he ever listens to anybody."
Chris-"So what d'ya say Doc?"
Duo-"It's dangerous but why not, when I was young I would jump to any challenge. We do need the money badly."
Chris-"Well then what the hell are we sitting are asses here for, let's go kick ass!"
Michelle-"Well it usually starts at night down below the city. The arena is located in an underground area below the city. It was said to be the old New York before colonies were made. It's now a waste land for those who are homeless."
Chris-"Then let's rep up the gundams. It's time to kick ass once again."
As the day passed by, the gundam pilots headed for the underground arena entering the street competition. By seven p.m. sharp, the pilots had arrived. The underground world was filled with black lights and gangsters, sluts, and thieves.
Chan-"Nice place."
Blake-"Kind of reminds me of Mercury. Full of no good dishonest bastards."
Chan-"Just like you are Blake."
Blake-"Thank you."
Jason-"Quit fooling around, we have to sign up for the competition."
Street pilot1-"Well look who returned. It's our old punching bag Michelle."
Street pilot2-"Who'd ever thought she come back. After how we humiliated her the last time."
Michelle turned her head away from the two gangsters. One was tall, buffed up, leather jacket with no sleeves, leather pants, and commando boots. The other one was a short puny guy; he wore a white T-shirt, ripped blue jeans, and leather boots along with a black bandanna over his head.
Street pilot1-"So you still recognize us do ya?"
Street pilot2-"How could she forget what we did to her? We nearly made her a laughing stock all around of New York."
Michelle-"."
Chris-"Hey Michelle, what hell are these two boneheads talking about?"
Street pilot2-"Well if you must know, when little Michelle was last here we blew her away."
Street pilot1-"Yeah, not to mention her mobile suit. Oh, and speaking of your mobile suit, we still have it in mint condition."
Street pilot2-"You can look at it if you want."
Street pilot1-"But you can't have it back."
Chris-"Hey, leave her alone."
Street pilot1-"What are you going to do about it amateur?"
Michelle-"Guys, let's just leave. I had enough than I could take."
Blake-"Hey, we came to get some cash and to improve our rank and we're not leaving until we do."
Street pilot2-"Good luck rookie, no one has been ever beaten us in the competition."
Chris-"Well you haven't heard of us yet then."
Street pilot1-"Why do we need to know who you are, it never matters because we always win."
Chan-"Well can you win an old fashion fist fight."
Jason-"Down Chan. Look, we don't know what happened before and in most ways I don't give damn shit what you say. We are going to kick your ass down to the ground!"
Street pilot1-"Try if you might but there is no way you losers could ever win."
Street pilot2-"Come on boss, let's leave these losers behind so their loyal fleas can mourn them."
The two men went off leaving the team behind.
Chris-"Who the hell were those guys?"
Michelle-"The tall guy was Mitch and the small one was Joe. They were the ones who beat me here last time. It was after I got Deathscythe. I never entered Deathscythe because I didn't wanted to take the chance of loosing him."
Blake-"But you said you reined as the street champ around here."
Michelle-"I was for only three months until those two came along. My other suit was a white taurus from which I got from for a fair price."
Chris-"Don't worry, now that you have us by your side, theirs no way you could possibly lose."
Michelle-"Just stay out of my issues alright."
Chris-"Fine then, let's just sign in, get our money, improve our rank, and go home."
Michelle-"Easier said than done."
Chris-"Come on, how hard could it be?"
The pilots entered themselves in the battle royal competition hoping for victory.
Sign-in director-"Rookies huh? Well let me just explain how things go around here. In the battle royal you must go against a numerous amount of suits from different teams. You could end up having two teams gang up on you or even more."
Blake-"Yeah, we know how it goes."
Sign-in director-"Well okay, just put your mobile suits over in the docking bay with the rest. Oh and one more thing. Opposing teams usually tend to sabotage their opponents suits so be careful."
Chris-"Don't worry about it."
Sign-in director- "Don't say I didn't warn you."
The pilots had set up their suits at the docking bay and guarded them carefully so that no one would sabotage them. The competition was then about to begin. Every pilot entered his or her suit preparing for battle. The suits then walked out into the arena.
Chris-"Look at this place, it must be twenty miles wide in diameter."
Jason-"Don't get too cocky Chris, we have to work together in this and try not to get separated. If we stay together we can stand a chance but like they say, divide and conquer and that's what they do around here. They divide teams up and take down each member one by one until there's no one left."
Chris-"Got ya."
The battle began as suits all around began fighting. The team started to fight as well, taking down every suit they came upon. Heavyarms launched his missiles at his opponents sending them flying. Nataku sneak attacked his victims while Sandrock sliced up the competition. Tallgeese though was having no trouble at all defeating his opponents; he used both his cannon and beam saber to take them down.
Blake-"Man this is too easy. I don't see why Michelle said it was hard, I've hardly used half of my ammo."
Chan-"I agree, these pilots are no challenge to Nataku and I."
Jason-"Don't get too cocky, there's still about.two more to go?"
Chris-"That's it? I might as well finish them off myself."
Chan-"Chris, wait!"
Heavyarms took off into the direction where the last two suits were. However, when he arrived, he found no suits to be found in sight.
Chris-"Where the hell are they? The radar says I'm right on top of them.and I am."
Heavyarms quickly flew to the air and fired down on the ground. The two suits came out the ground revealing themselves. One was a white taurus, the other was a four-legged brown suit, with duel-barrel machine guns, and a rocket launcher mounted on the right shoulder.
Mitch-"Well look what we have here, the rookie is doing pretty well for his first day."
Joe-"Pretty impressive suit you got there, kid."
Mitch-"How about we trade you this white Taurus for that suit?"
Chris-"You must think I'm real stupid to go with that. Well I'm not so eat this you damn mother fuckers!"
Heavyarms launched its entire artillery on the two suits creating a giant cloud of smoke. However, to Chris's amazement, the two suits didn't even have a single scratch on them. The four-legged suit then fired its rocket launcher on Heavyarms. Heavyarms was blown out of the sky but was still in tact after it crashed landed.
Mitch-"Did I forget to introduce you to Aracnoid? He's a four-legged suit with incredible power. I never lost with this suit before."
Chris-"Man, he isn't kidding. Heavyarms is almost out of commission."
Blake-"Hang on Chris I'm coming."
Sandrock soon came to Chris's aid firing its machine gun at the two suits.
Mitch-"Man, my old man could shoot better than you can and he's dead."
Blake-"Why don't you just stand still and shut your mouth."
Sandrock came at ramming speed towards Aracnoid. However, Aracnoid was too quick and dodged the attack. The spider mobile suit then launched an onslaught of missiles at Sandrock. Sandrock laid there on the ground motionless.
Blake-"Damn, I can't move."
Mitch-"My turn then."
Nataku came out of no where attacking Aracnoid with its two serpent claws.
Chan-"Is this the best you have to offer?"
Joe-"We've seen roadkill do better than that shit."
Chan-"Oh? Then chew on this assholes."
Both claws went underground; they soon came up and snatched Aracnoid's two back legs. Yet Aracnoid quickly freed itself from the trap and fired another onslaught at Nataku.
Joe-"Too easy."
Mitch-"Now there's only pretty boy and Michelle."
Both mobile suits went after Tallgeese first without warning. Jason quickly saw the two coming and prepared himself. Aracnoid then rammed into Tallgeese forcing it into the wall.
Joe-"Save some for me boss."
The white taurus then fired its beam cannon at Tallgeese. Tallgeese quickly dodged the attack and fired its beam cannon at the suit.
Joe-"Ha! You missed."
Mitch-"Time to end this little game of ours."
Aracnoid then pulled out a giant cannon from its shoulders and aimed it at Tallgeese. The cannon fired and made a direct hit at Tallgeese. The damage was critical as the left arm was torn off and half of the face of the head was gone.
Mitch-"Well what do you know, he was able to survive the skull bash cannon."
Joe-"Give it another shot boss."
Mitch-"Right. Learn this rookie, I will always rein as champ and you will be nothing more than dog shit."
Aracnoid was preparing to fire the cannon again and Tallgeese was not able to move one inch. However, out of no where, Deathscythe sliced the cannon in half off Aracnoids shoulder.
Joe-"The hell was that?"
Michelle-"Did you miss me boys?"
Mitch-"Michelle."
Joe-"Pretty impressive mobile suit you got there, Michelle. How about a deal, if we win we get that new suit of yours but if you win you can have both of our suits. What d'ya say?"
Michelle-".Fools, you don't know what your getting yourself into. Yet I'll accept the deal but I highly recommend that you back out while you still can."
Mitch-"You think you'll win, ha! You're going to lose just like last time."
Joe-"Time to bow down to your superior loser."
Michelle-".It that's what you want."
Deathscythe disappeared into the darkness without a trace.
Joe-"Where the hell did she go?"
Deathscythe came right behind the white Taurus and slashed it in half. Right after, Michelle set her eyes on Aracnoid and charged toward it.
Michelle-"You're a fool, never underestimate the power of the gundam!"
Mitch-"What the hell, a gundam!"
Within a single second, Aracnoid was slashed in four by Deathscythe. Every single piece of the body fell to the ground. Yet, Michelle wasn't finished. She was preparing the Eclipse Strike on Deathscythe to finish off her opponents.
Michelle-"Who's the loser now!"
There was nothing left but rubble. There was no sign of the pilot anywhere.
Michelle-"Here's a lesson for all you assholes, never ever mess with the Endbringer, because she may come for your soul. That I promise you."
Soon after, the pilots collected their prize money and according to Michelle's little deal, she kept both the Aracnoid and the white Taurus. They soon left with satisfaction seeing that their rank right back up to rank B.
Blake-"So what are you going to do with those other two suits Michelle?"
Michelle-"They're nothing but worthless pieces of junk, I might as well sell them. I do need some money do to do some shopping."
Blake-"Again?"
Michelle-"Can't a woman have some fun?"
Blake-"If you call blowing off your money on shit fun then I doubt it."
Chan-"We should concentrate at the task at hand."
Chris-"What do you mean?"
Chan-"Now that our rank is up again it's time to move on. Word says that KANZ is making something big in space. It could mean the end to this war and the end of the Federation along with the beginning era of KANZ."
Blake-"So you're telling us that we're going back into space?"
Chan-"More particularly Mars. They're calling it project Epsilon and the project is being constructed around Mars."
Jason-"Always wanted to visit the red planet. Hear you can get good tan there."
Chan-"We're not going to be there for fun, we're on a mission to stop KANZ at all costs even if it costs us our lives."
Chris-"."
Jason-"Well what the hell, I'd put my life on the line if it were to stop that shit head Leilong."
Blake-"Same here, KANZ has been a pain in my ass since I don't know when."
Jason-"They underestimate the power of us and our gundams yet they don't really know who they're fucking with."
Chris-"."
Blake-"Why are you so quiet all of a sudden Chris?"
Chris-"Just wondering. Wondering if we'll ever see Leo again."
Jason-"Hey, the guy's tough. He can handle anything on his own."
Chris-"Guess you're right, I mean we've been friends ever since we were 3 years old. If I know him, he'll come through and we'll meet up again."
Blake-"We're just a few steps away to stop KANZ once and for all."
