Chapter 10: An Islands Refuge

*

Well now everyone. The events of the Gundam Fight have taken a dramatic turn for the bizarre. Heero and Johan have already encountered a very mysterious pilot who didn't give his name or his nation. All they know is the name of his Gundam, Gundam Nexus. Does this mysterious Gundam and its pilot have anything to do with their search for the Devil Gundam? And what of Johan and Heero since their Gundams were badly damaged from this Gundam Nexus? Let's get things started! Gundam Fight! Ready, Go!

Across the globe the members of the Fellowship had received a very disturbing message from one of their comrades. The message was a video feed, it displayed their friend against the Devil Gundam, Johan Rodriguez. His face was bleeding all the way down his face, leaving very few parts of untouched skin. The message Johan gave was his report.

"To the fellowship." He said then coughed, "I have met up with Heero Yuy and we have faced a very tough Gundam who did not challenge us to a Gundam fight. We were simply attacked without reason as to why. Heero and I have reason to suspect that the person who attacked us is somehow connected to the Devil Gundam. This person had said that their attack on us was a warning." Johan coughed against this time there was a little hint of blood on his fist when he covered his mouth. "This person said, mess with the best, die like the rest. Our Gundams have been severely damaged. But since this wasn't a Gundam fight I don't feel that we will be disqualified. Heero and I have brought ourselves to the city of Amsterdam, we are going to try to heal and repair our Gundams."

The last of the message showed Johan passing out and the video ended. From all across the world, the members of the Fellowship had traveled to Amsterdam. They had the genuine concern for their friends as well as the curiosity as to what attacked them. Slowly they all arrived in the city and began to meet with one another. It was parts of the Shuffle Alliance running into the Preventers and the Preventers casually finding the Shuffle Alliance. As all of them came together they went looking for the missing members of the Fellowship.

"Have any ideas of where they could be?" Domon had asked

"Knowing those two," Duo said, "they could be anywhere."

"I suggest we check the hospitals." Quatre motioned

"I agree." Rain said, of course she would agree with this since she was a doctor herself. The Fellowship had split up again, but this time they had a new purpose in mind: to check the hospitals. There must have been dozens if not hundreds in the city. Where were they? The one team of the Fellowship that made any progress was Haruka who teamed up with Allenby (the Shuffle Alliances Deuce of Diamonds). As they walked around the city a thought had occurred to the neo Sweden fighter.

"Hey, didn't Heero have a girl with him?" She asked Haruka

"Yeah." Haruka responded, "Relena Dorlin Peacecraft."

"Wouldn't she be with Heero?"

Haruka contemplated the question, "Yeah. If she was with Heero she could have been injured too."

"And if she wasn't?"

"Then like Johan and Heero, she could be anywhere."

As they continued, Allenby had another question, "Haruka, what's the deal with Heero and Relena?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's obvious that Heero loves Relena, isn't it?" Allenby then winked, "it's the kind of thing a woman would see and know. So, why doesn't Heero tell her that he loves her?"

Haruka shrugged, "He has, in his own unique way."

The two of them came to one hospital stop that was on their list. It was a hospital called St. Mary's of the Immaculate Heart. They walked in and asked around about a Johan Rodriguez and a Heero Yuy. Then as the nurse looked through the records she came across the names. The two Gundam fighters felt like leaping for joy. Then the nurse asked the question.

"Are you two friends or family?"

"I'm…" Haruka remembered that on Earth and in this Gundam fight the title of wife was left behind.

"We're very close friends." Allenby stepped in.

"They're on the second floor, room 238."

"Thank you." Haruka said. She wanted to leap across the desk and kiss the nurse for telling her where Johan was. Instead she and Allenby silently scrambled to the second floor to twin the two Gundam Fighters on the second floor. On that floor they went by each room counting up to 238. They came in and on the twin beds they found Johan and Heero. The two of them were heavily bandaged up and asleep deeply. Haruka went to Johan's side and took his hand feeling the IV's that were stuck into his own hand. Haruka felt the warmth in it and brought it up to her face to confirm that all of this wasn't just some sweet dream that it was real.

Allenby looked at the two fighters and marveled that they survived. "Who could have done this?" She asked

"A monster." A sweet young voice answered from behind.

Allenby spun around and there was the young girl named Relena. She was dressed in a hospital gown but she only had a small bandage around her head. Her golden hair still flowing down her shoulders as she looked out with her yearning blue eyes.

"Miss Relena." Haruka said standing up, "What happened?"

"Johan and Heero were attacked." Relena said as she came in and went to her Heero's side. She sat down next to him in one of the standard visiting chairs that the hospital puts in each room. "I had followed Heero and Johan into the country. They were chasing someone, I don't know who it was or why they were chasing that person in the first place. I followed them using one of the cab drivers, it took me a long time to catch up, and when I did I found them confronting a great monstrosity of a Gundam. Within mere moments the Gundam had laid waste to the Wing Zero and Ryu. A piece of debris fell onto the cab I was in, it crushed in the ceiling, I managed to escape with a few bruises. I was hit on the head pretty badly, but Johan and Heero despite their injuries carried me to safety. I last saw Heero kneeling over me and I blacked out. The next thing I knew I woke up here."

Haruka reported her side of the story, "We received a message from Johan telling us what happened and he said we'd find him here."

"Have the rest of the Fellowship arrived?" Relena asked

"I'll notify them." Allenby said as she left the room

Haruka stepped forward, "What of their Gundams?"

Relena shook her head, "I don't know what happened to them."

As the two stared at each other a very weak voice spoke out. Relena looked down and saw Heero moving his lips but had his eyes still closed. Relena knelt down with her ear pressed to his lips and she heard the weak words.

"A barn." She said, "The remains of the suits are in an abandoned barn-house. Near where they were attacked."

Haruka knew what to do; she left the room and made the call to the Preventer ship Tabris for some extra help.

Within a matter of two hours the rest of the Fellowship had arrived at the hospital and found their comrades in shambles. Many of them felt sorry for their fallen friends that how easily they were defeated, yet others were outraged. Including the impetuous Chibodee Crocket and Duo Maxwell who were enraged by what had happened.

"Who in the hell would do this?" Duo asked

"I don't know." Chibodee said with his fists clenched, "But whoever they are, they're going to pay."

"Please be calm everyone." Quatre said

"How can we stay calm?" Chibodee asked trying to keep his voice low, "We're trying to find the Devil Gundam and now some jerk-off thinks he can push us around. I don't think so."

"We're not going to get anywhere by bouncing off the walls like that." Quatre reiterated.

"Quatre's right." Domon intervened, "The first priorities are to fix Heero's and Johan's Gundam while they heal."

Relena nodded, "Heero told me where the Gundams were, I can draw you a map to where it is. Once your there, call Tabris, Haruka has arranged that Worker Mobile Dolls be sent to help fix the mobile suits. I'll stay here with Johan and Heero until they get better."

"Let's get to it then." Quatre said as he left the hospital room with the rest of the Fellowship behind him. Except, there was some confusion among them. George De Sand came up to Quatre and whispered to him.

"Messiour Quatre." He said in his French accent, "What are these Worker Mobile Dolls that Memoiselle Relena spoke of?"

Quatre smiled, "You'll see when we get there."

* * *

In the countryside beyond the city of Amsterdam, the Fellowship in their Core Landers made their way to the barn-house that Relena had made the map for. In daylight the countryside was beautiful, it was lush, green, with trees and rolling hills. The dirt country road led to the farmhouse; there they saw impact craters, blackening the surrounding grass and soil. They even found damaged parts of metal lying on the ground that led a trail along the rolling hill to a barn-house at the bottom of the hill.

With Quatre and Domon leading the way, the Fellowship had made it to the barn-house. Yet, everyone couldn't help but feel odd about all of this, they were in the middle of the countryside and there wasn't anyone around. They wondered if the farmhouse was really abandoned. The first one with any kind of courage was Domon who opened the enormous wooden barn doors. They swung open in a great creek and there lying in the enormous space of the barn was the remaining sections of the chest and head cavities of the Gundams Wing Zero and Ryu. The two of them looked like they came from a Gundam scrap heap, their legs were torn off and so were their arms. The paint was burnt off the Gundanium frame, there were also chips in the actual hull, the cockpit doors were open and in shambles as wires were flung out from it like intestines of a giant.

"Dear God." Domon said, "They're trashed."

Duo came in and looked at the Gundams, he turned around and smiled, "No problem."

"No problem!?" Domon raised his voice, "How can you say that? Look at them! They're trashed! How can you say no problem to that?"

Duo simply smiled, "We've been through worse. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a cell-phone like device, and made a call. "Hello?" He said, "Miss Noin? Yeah, we're at the sight were the Gundams Ryu and Wing Zero are damaged. Send down the tech team along with the Worker Mobile Dolls, also send Howard…right, so they'll be here in an hour? Good. Thanks a lot." He shoved the phone back in his pocket and smiled, "It's all been taken care of."

Within an hour a ship came down from the sky, it wasn't as big as the Preventer Ship Tabris that they had up in space. This one was a little smaller, about the size of a Mobile Suit carrier. It came down and out from it came a team of about 100 men who scrambled into the barn and carried out pieces of the Mobile Suits. Then came four Mobile Doll Workers, all four of them were blocky in appearance, they went over to the barn and pulled out the Gundams Ryu and Wing Zero together. It was odd to the Shuffle Alliance who had never seen such work done before. Certainly they had seen mobile suits from other countries but not quite like the ones that the Preventers had and why were they called Mobile Dolls?

George asked his question again to Quatre, "Messiour Quatre." He asked, "Why are these machines called Mobile Dolls?"

Quatre answered, "Well, they're unmanned, so that's why they're mobile dolls. They function on a program that we give them. Right now their task is fixing the Gundams."

"How long do you think it'll take to fix them?" the young Sai-Saichi asked

"That's tricky to tell." Duo answered the Neo-China fighter, "Howard would know."

That's when the work started. It must have gone on for at least a week. The teams worked in shifts, day in and day out rebuilding the Gundams to the way they were, right before the Gundam fight had started. It was incredible to watch them work, though the Fellowship of the Gundam didn't stay back the whole time. Many of them had rolled up their sleeves and got dirty with the rest of the workers, including the proper and prissy George De Sand. He knew the importance of rebuilding these machines, especially for their comrades against the Devil Gundam. With the Fellowship working with the team the work seemed to go a little faster. The Gundams themselves were beginning to look like they had rolled off the assembly line. By the end of the week, the work was done and both Gundam Ryu and Gundam Wing Zero looked brand new, shinning in the light of the bright fluorescence against the night sky.

"Magnificent." George said wiping his face and getting more oil on himself. Then again George was no different then the rest, he was sweaty, dirty and had oil smudged on his forehead. As the oil had rubbed off onto George's face, many of the Fellowship couldn't help but laugh at him. George ignored it and laughed at himself since this was one of the few times that he had gotten this dirty.

Even the old Howard looked up at the work, "It was a pain in the ass." He said with a smile, "but it was worth it."

"What of the Gundam that had attacked them?" Quatre asked Howard

"We've managed to pull some images from the cameras memory of the Gundam that had attacked them. So far there's no match with any Gundam of any country, so as far as we know we've got a rogue Gundam loose on Earth during this fight."

"Could it be related to the Devil Gundam?" Domon asked

"I think that parts obvious." Duo answered, "But we're either going to have to let this rogue Gundam come to us or find it and we already have our hands tied fighting this tournament and finding the Devil Gundam."

"Well," Howard shrugged, "I'll pull me team back to Tabris. Tell Johan and Heero that their Gundams are good as new. Just try to be careful around who it was that attacked them."

"Will do, Howard." Quatre saluted

Howard saluted back and like the rest of the repair team, Howard left for space, leaving behind the Fellowship of the Gundam with an even bigger mystery than the Devil Gundam itself. Using what was left behind, the Fellowship covered up the Gundams and headed back to Amsterdam to speak with their friends.

At the hospital, the Fellowship surprised their friends.

"Hi." Haruka smiled as she looked in on her wide-awake love, Johan.

Johan smiled at Haruka, his bandages were taken off, leaving only a few cuts and bruises but he was just as good. The same went for Heero, who had healed remarkably fast like his roommate. The rest of the Fellowship came in expressing how great it was to see them all and how wonderful it was to see their speedy recovery. Then the news was delivered.

"Your Gundams have been repaired." Quatre reported, "They've been fixed as good as new."

Heero remained neutral as always, but Johan looked a little distracted. He kept looking down at his hands from the reclined position he was in. Haruka, and the rest of the Preventers caught onto this and gathered around Johan.

"What's wrong?" Haruka asked taking her loves hand.

"The one who attacked us was beyond anything I had ever encountered." Johan said mournfully, he sounded disappointed as if he had lost his best friend. "I don't believe I'm up to par with some of the Gundam Fighters."

"If that's the case, then you should train." Domon Kasshu explained.

"What do you mean train?" Johan asked, "I've trained to be a martial artist and a Gundam pilot ever since I was a boy."

"That may be," Domon agreed, "But you still need to achieve a few techniques if you're going to be just as good as a Gundam Fighter. You may have some of the necessary skills, but you need to progress farther than before."

Johan took in this lecture; he was willing to listen to Domon's advice since he knew that he had far more experience in this universe. Johan looked over to Heero who had the same feeling, even though he never said anything in the first place.

"We'll go back to the Guyana Highlands to train the Preventers of our Fellowship." Domon proclaimed.

"No." Johan said, "I have a better place in mind."

"Where?" Domon asked

"The Isle of St. Thomas." Johan answered, "As soon as we're ready to leave, let us depart quickly for that place."

"But why there?" Haruka whispered in Johan's ear

"Have you ever been to the Guyana Highlands?" Johan asked, "It's terrible, at least St. Thomas will have a beach."

* * *

At least another two weeks had passed before the Fellowship had left Amsterdam. All of them in their Gundam or Gundam carriers headed for the small island of St. Thomas. The rest of the Fellowship tried to ask Johan about the island (more specifically the Shuffle Alliance asked the question).

"Well," Johan had explained, "It's a small island in the Caribbean its pretty small. I mean Rhode Island could beat the crap out of it in a war, I'm talking miniscule." Johan decided to have a little fun with this. "IT takes only a dollar to ride a taxi from one side to the other."

"I think we get how small it is." Chibodee protested

"Just one more." Johan smiled, "They recently had the whole country carpeted. That's small."

It took about half a day to get from Amsterdam to the small island of St. Thomas. Though, Johan's good humor was a little exaggerated. The size of the island was about half that of Neo Hong Kong. So there was some space to put their Gundams. With the permission of the island officials they placed their Gundams near the airport. So, with the Gundams stored the Fellowship had made their way into the island. Though many of them found themselves on the beach. It was odd to most of them since there weren't that many people on the beach, only a few of the local inhabitants. Many of them were looking at how the locals were enjoying themselves in the clearest blue-green water that any of them had ever laid eyes upon. They were even playing volleyball upon the white sand with the green forests that stretched inland.

Johan surveyed the place, "This will be it." He said to himself as he turned to his friends. He began to take off his jacket, his white trench coat since he didn't need it in the tropical heat of the island. As he did, many of his friends were removing their unnecessary clothes too. Wufei removed his white over-shirt or tunic, while Trowa was removing his sweater, Duo with his black priests' shirt. All of them had basically stripped down to their T-shirts and pants. Though for most of the Preventers they kept their weapons at their sides, their standard issue firearms and their beam sabers. Though Johan with his slightly excessive weapons, removed his guns leaving only his silver "Star Dragon" and his curved casing beam saber. He left his clothes on the sand near the forest where the rest of the Preventers had done the same.

He looked to the Shuffle Alliance and brought up a suitcase. He came forward to the Shuffle Alliance and opened it. Inside there seemed what looked like beam weapons.

"The Preventer side of the Fellowship," Johan began, "Felt that it would be fitting if all of you had beam weapons similar to ours. Since Heero Yuy already gave one to Domon Kashu. I've had some people on Tabris working on these for the past two weeks."

He reached in and pulled out one that looked like the handle of a fencing foil, he handed it over to George De Sand of Neo France, "George." Johan said, "This is for you. To activate the beam simply twist the pommel in a clockwise direction, to turn it off do it counter clockwise. The beam color is light blue, like the one for your Gundam."

George took the weapon and bowed.

"For you, Chibodee Crocket." Johan said as he pulled out a very nice looking beam saber. It was long and thin with three curved pieces of metal coming toward the beam emitter like a claw. "You beam color, red."

"Thanks." Chibodee smiled as he took the weapon.

Johan pulled out the next one, "Argo Gulski," Johan called. Argo looked down at Johan from his enormous height with very cross-eyes. "For you I give you this. A little something special to accommodate your size and the beams color is light blue."

Johan pulled out a beam weapon that was enormous for his size, it looked like the beam sword for the Epyon when it wasn't activated. Even Johan had a hard time holding it in one hand as he handed it to Argo. The Neo-Russian fighter took it and it fit him just right he looked and found the red activation button and marveled as its beam of light seemed to tower over him in its blue hue.

"Thank you." Argo smiled, which was rather eerie since Argo was never known to smile.

"Next, you Sai-Saichi." Johan said as he took out a very long beam weapon that looked similar to the one that Wufei or Trowa had. "This one is double ended, and its color, yellow."

"Thank you." Sai Saichi bowed.

"Last but certainly not least." Johan smiled as he took out the last beam weapon and set the briefcase down on the ground. "This one had to have some very special and rather experimental moves done as far as beam sabers go." He handed Allenby a beam weapon that looked like everyone else's, but she wondered what made this one so special. She took it and looked at Johan oddly with the question seemingly written on her face. "This beam weapon is much like the weapon on the Nobel Gundam. Press the activation button and you have a beam whip, color purple."

Allenby pressed the button and watched as the beam of her weapon slithered out and down to the ground like a snake in her hand. "I like it."

"Let's get to it." Quatre spoke out, "We came here to learn more about how to use our Gundams to their fullest. How do we do this?"

Domon Kashu stepped forward, "First thing you must learn is a special technique."

"A special technique?" Wufei asked his attitude sounding skeptical.

"That's right, an attack that would be as individual as you are." Domon explained, "I have my special attack, the Bakenetsu God Finger for the God Gundam. Chibodee has the Cyclone Punch. George has the Roses Screamer. Argo has the Gaea Crusher. Sai Saichi has the Houka Kyouten Juuzetsujin, and Allenby had the Berserker, but she doesn't exactly use it anymore. The point is that all of you must develop an attack or attacks that are unique to you and your Gundams. Understand."

"Yes." The Preventers said in unison.

"Good." Domon smiled, "That'll make my job a whole lot easier. Let's get to work."

To be continued…
