Pre-Dawn Mobile Battle: Part II: The Journey to Space
Chapter V: Project Niagara
Johnny: Ready? Lily: Ready in 3,2,1.They're here! GO! GO!
2 carrier planes fly over the city; their hatches open, 6 suits fall onto a rooftop. 9:05pm
Soldier: Project Niagara is underway.
Lily: 6 of them, on the roof, northwest!
Johnny: Roger that, proceeding.
Soldier: There's the dome, move out!
Soldier2: Another Triclaw!? Sir, I've picked up a different Triclaw on radar!
Soldier: He's onto us! New objective then, first, destroy the Triclaw, it's the one we've wanted!
Lily: What? They turned towards you! Here they come!
Johnny: I've got one locked on.
All 6 Triclaws leap the rooftops and look down a building as SpYder looks up back at them. SpYder fires straight up at them but 5 of them dodge while one jumps off. It lands behind SpYder and tears up the street.
Johnny: NEVER! SpYder shoots out its grapple and it latches to the building. The Triclaw fires at the same time but SpYder is too fast. It jumps back off the building and swings one of its legs in mid-air, completely destroying the enemy Triclaw.
Soldier: Blasted! Kill him at all costs! I'll take the arena down!
Soldier2: Roger!
Lily: One's going towards the arena! But the rest are coming down to you!
Johnny: WHAT!? How many blocks are there to the arena?
Lily: I can't tell for sure, it looks like three from here.
Johnny: all right, I have to take out the leader!
Lily: But the other ones.They jumped down!
SpYder runs for the arena. It turns the main gun around and Johnny locks on to a car.
Johnny: I hope this guy has insurance.
Then he fires and the car explodes next to 2 suits, disabling them.
Lily: Great but the other 2 are close-WATCH OUT!
The 2 Triclaws open fire on a car in front of SpYder, but it jumps over the car before it explodes. SpYder turns around and exchanges fire through the heavy flames. He takes a hit to the leg, but it doesn't penetrate his armor.
Lily: You got them all! Now catch up to the leader! He's taking his time on the roofs.
Johnny: Roger, I'll catch up, but there are a few civilians running, I must be careful
Lily: Yeah. he jumped onto that lower building to your right.
Johnny: Got him!
SpYder shoots his grapple and plants his leg into the ground. The grapple pulls the Triclaw off the roof. SpYder jumps from oncoming bullets and returns fire, piercing a leg.
Johnny: Who are you!?
Soldier: The man who will kill you!
Johnny: Answer me straight!
Soldier: I'm Francis Grane of the Zeon! Now you'll die Mr. Winner!
Johnny: I won't lose to you!
Johnny opens fire with all his weapons, obliterating the suit.
Lily: Great! But you need to get some data and come back.
Johnny: Got ya. He said Zeon, like you predicted. Lily: Hurry, someone might come!
They pack up and leave the area, at 9:23 they watch a breaking news report.
Lily: Look, on your TV!
News reporter: Breaking news in Chicago, a robot has been reported to attack another group of similar robots.We now go live to the scene with Jacob Hobkon, Jacob?
Jacob: It's madness down here, people are running away in every direction screaming, what I've gathered from by standers is, a robot with three legs and a mounted gun, said to be 30-40 ft tall, opened fire from a roof when another one-
The cameraman looks up into the blackening sky as a jet flies by at an alarming rate. It lets out paper that sinks to the ground. People pick up the paper and look at the logo and word: ZEON.
Johnny: the prelude is over, It's act 1 now. And it's a long way till intermission.
Lily: Huh?
Jacob: It's chaos, pieces of paper labeled "Zeon," has just flooded the streets.and-
The main street jumbo screen fuzzed out and came back on with the logo on the papers. The papers explode into sparks and they send people in a state of panic again.
Johnny: Francis Grane.Who were you?
End of Chapter V
Chapter VI A Devil's Emerging
Johnny: Well, the broad cast is from outer space, So Zeon is definitely coming from space.Shh.I hear some thing.
Lily: What?
Johnny: Feet, some ones coming near here.
Lily: but we're in a tent in the middle of nowhere, It must be the Z-What the heck is that?
Johnny draws a gun from his jacket.
Johnny: My way of surviving. TWO OF THEM!? How do I protect her?
Johnny hides by the entrance flap and turns off the light. He hears two clicks and rolls out of the tent pointing the gun at a man in green. The man pulls his gun up at Johnny. Another Man puts his gun against Johnny's back.
Johnny: If you care at all about each other then I think you'll let me go.
Man: And risk the uprising of Zeon? Never!
Johnny: Then I should know my killers name.
Zeon Soldier: If you care to know, I'm Adam Grane, brother of the murdered Francis Grane, come to destroy you in the name of the powerful Zeon.
Johnny: Your brother was a jerk, you know
Adam: Shut UP! Hit him in the back with the gun, Ross!
Lily: NO!
Just then the 2 look at the tent and Johnny kicks Adam in the face, knocking him down. Johnny turns and he and Ross fire. The bullets deflect off one another causing Ross's to burry a hole in Adam's head. The other bullet sinks into the ground. The gun fires again, but this tim from the tent. The bullet knocks the gun out of Ross's hand, and Johnny fires a bullet through the Ross's chest, killing him.
Lily: You!!!
Johnny: What?
Lily: You have 2 guns!
Johnny:(laughing) Oops.thank goodness you're joking.
Lily: You'd hope so, wouldn't you?
Johnny: You're not?
Lily: yeah, but it's still not funny for keeping it a secret!
Johnny: Oh.I forgot.
Lily: Did you learn any more information about their plans?
Johnny: Only that they want me dead. But I created a program that's based off of the media-downloading programs. It lets me take other's files and read them. The only differences between the two are speed and encryption. I can receive the documents much faster, and I added a hacking program to break any password-protected area.
Lily: How are you going to get the address?
Johnny: I found that the Zeon have an alternate Internet only for giving instructions privately. This also lets them contact each other from anywhere. I haven't got online yet because I fear they think this soldier is dead. I hacked into that first enemy and didn't know anything, until now.
Lily: How do you know so much about computer-related things?
Johnny: I was a part-time technician, so I was very educated in the field.
Lily: oh, I see.do you want a meal yet?
Johnny: Sure. What are you going to make?
Lily: Bell Peppers and Steak, the specialty.
Johnny: We don't have steak.
Lily: I know.
Johnny: Why did you say steak then?
Lily: Because that's what it's called.
Johnny: Whatever, just as long as it's good.
Johnny and Lily wake up and they have breakfast. It is now 9:46 AM
Lily: I bet all the news channels are talking about us, after all, we did make our appearance.
Johnny: I'll check now. I won't be surprised if the government already has the FBI looking for us.
He turns on the TV and immediately finds the news.
Newscaster: A shocking kind of attack involving huge machines, unknown to the public, has occurred without warning. It was horrific, leaving no casualties but scaring all that witnessed it. We have a breaking statement by the secretary of the state.
Sec. of the State: The attacks that have occurred are believed to be between two unidentified, rebel groups or persons. They concern this administration, and we have search parties of the FBI, CIA, Local Chicago police, and the S.W.A.T. Team seeking out these persons. We do not, at this time, have any specific suspects.Although we have identified the insignia on the flyers dropped from the jets. It is the mark of Zeon, from the Side 3 space colony cluster. They have declared independence and are leading the influence of total human evacuation of the earth, and full development in space colonization. This may be their first military action and dawn of a bitter war. We will further update you on any breakthroughs. Thank you.
Newscaster: We have a special guest, Robotic Scientist Martin Shull here to talk about what we saw.Martin?
Shull: Yes, thank you for having me. I feel that these robots were not, and I stress were not the only ones. I think we shall see more of this in the future. Now is the opportunity, we must arm ourselves! We must stop this!
Newscaster: But are you sure this is just the beginning? You may be taking this farther than what it is.
Shull: If everyone in America acted like you than we wouldn't be in existence any more. We can't take this lightly at all. Don't you get it? This is something much, much bigger than you think. This is going to be something huge! We must act now!
Newscaster: Uh.yeah.That's all the time we have with you, although I was hoping to talk about the technology of these mechanical giants.
Johnny turns off the TV and the two pack up their things.
Lily: Are you ready to log onto that secret Internet yet?
Johnny: Yeah I'll do it now and be done with it.
He crawls into SpYder and logs on. In seconds the connection is complete and a web page appears. It has nothing but the Zeon logo and one sentence. It reads: "Now we shall rise, for with great power, we have a great future in space." The message clouds Johnny's mind.
Johnny: Space? They want power of Outer Space? Or independence? Maybe.
Lily: That's an odd web page.
Johnny: Yeah, it is. Do you get what they're talking about?
Lily: No, unless.click on the logo, maybe there is a link.
Johnny: I don't think.(He clicks the logo and a new page appears.)
Lily: See, I know what I'm doing!
Johnny Pats Lily
Johnny: I'm considering you for employee-of-the-month, that is, if you keep that smile on your face.
Lily: Your funny, you really are.
Johnny: Hmm. There are two links here.
One: Current missions.
Two: Hostage Information.
Johnny: My friends! Are they alive? He immediately clicks "Hostage Information." A small paragraph appeared:
Zeon has acquired 5 hostages, who were plotting against us, 4 are mobile suit pilots, and one was our lead scientist, Dr. B. Gratte, who designed the Triclaw. However one man escaped us and he has an advanced Triclaw. Our hostages are located inside our own Side 3.
Johnny: Darn it!
He pounds the controls of SpYder.
Lily: We'll free them, don't worry.
Johnny: Get everything ready to leave, we're boarding the next shuttle into space.
Lily: There is no way we can smuggle SpYder into space!
Johnny: But I can't let them die! They know I'm coming!
Lily: But if you leave earth, then Zeon will attack without anyone to stop them! Do you want them to kill innocent people?!
Johnny: No! But what about.what about my friends?
Lily: Whom would you rather save?! The world, or five people you once knew.
Johnny's body begins to shiver. He starts sweating rapidly and his eyes open wide.
Johnny: It's happening.again, it's happening again and I- I- Aahhh!!! It's the Zeon! The want.Independence! Aahhh! They.the.federa- a year- war! The colony dr- Aaahhhhh!!! Nooooooo! I ca- can't!
He collapses on to the grass, breathing heavily. His eyes close slowly and his sweating stops.
Lily: Johnny.
End of Chapter VI
Chapter VII Aiming for the Stars
Lily is sitting next to Johnny's body in the back of her truck as he slowly opens his eyes. He looks up at Lily who then holds his hand.
Johnny: I know what they want.
Lily: What is it?
Johnny: The Zeon, they want. human existence in space only. I saw other things too.
Lily: What?
Johnny: I saw my friends in danger, and a huge robot with one eye! It was pale green, with rounded shoulders and it had an axe. I saw it undergoing tests. And finally I saw two sides fighting an endless war.
Lily: What happened to your friends?
Johnny: I went to side three, and I tried to rescue them, but that's all I saw.
Lily: Then I guess we'll go to space, if you feel we should.
Johnny: Yes, I do. We can go to the Illinois United Earth/Space Port. It's Southwest of here, I remember seeing an exit for it on our way here. Were not too far, but we'll have to drive through the night.
Lily: But we can't just put this in the cargo hold and go! They'll recognize it from the news.
Lily turns on Johnny's TV.
Lily: What the? They stopped reporting on the Chicago incident. That was only two hours ago. They're talking about an explosion at an offshore oil facility. It must be more important to them. That might make a good cover for us
Johnny: We're going to steal a shuttle.
Lily: WHAT?! You can't just walk up to a vacant shuttle and take it into space!
Johnny: I think I can.
Lily: Your mad!
Johnny: No, I had lessons before everyone was taken hostage. Dr. Gratte taught us a lot of skills. His motto was "Be prepared." He was a diehard boy scout when he was young.
Lily: Even if you can fly a shuttle, how do you intend to get past security?
Johnny: I'll knock them out.
Lily: I'm not helping you this time! Do you realize that?
Johnny: It's your call.
Lily: What? Fine, be that way. I don't care.
Johnny: So what will you do now?
Lily: What do you mean?
Johnny: Are you going to abandon me and go back to your boring life on the farm?
Lily: It's better than being locked in jail for life!
Johnny: We won't get caught.
Lily: Fine, but if we're caught I'm running away and I'll let them take you alone.
Johnny: Then let's go.
They arrive at the airport and Johnny gets out of the truck. He creeps along the guard wall towards a muscular guard holding a gun and guarding the entrance to the hangars. Lily's truck sits in the parking lot across from the airport, waiting, patiently, nervously, for the right time to speed in towards the hangar. Johnny edges slowly towards the guard, remaining out of his sight the whole time. The guard walks forward and catches Winner out of the corner of his eye.
Guard: Hey, you! Stop or I'll fire!
Johnny stops dead in his tracks. Lily's eyes widen as her pupils shrink to specs. Adrenaline rushes through her body, her thoughts become jumbled as she looks on.
