Chapter 3 - First Attacks
The two-gundam pilots blasted across the sky towards their new target: COSS Headquarters. Heero looked on as the sun slowly began to set. His shoulder still ached and the pain was nearly unbearable, for a normal human. Heero was not normal, he has gone through immense amounts of pain before, some worse than what he was going through now. "Duo, COSS is located on the Space Colony 1. Follow me and prepare your mobile suit for space flight."
"You got it Heero." Duo flicked up three switches above his head inside his cockpit and then swiveled around to the side console and turned a dial power up the space thrusters. He then turned another dial on the opposite side re-enforcing his shielding and armour for the stressful flight. "All set Heero, let's go kick some suppressing ass!"
Heero laughed over the commlink at Duo's remark. He was a good friend, he never told him this and regretted this. Duo was a funny guy and always treated Heero well, getting him out of jams when he needed to and other bad situations. He turned back and prepped his own mobile suit for space flight. Wing-ZX was naturally designed for such procedures and very little preparation was required, he powered up the space thrusters and that was it he turned back to a forward position. "You ready Duo?"
"I was born ready. YEEEHAWW!" Duo yelled over the link and pressed down on his boosters and shot out ahead of Heero and into the Space atmosphere. Heero grinned and pushed the boosters to the max. So he wants to race? I'm game. Heero thought grinning, the colony was a good hours flight from where they were at that point so had some time for fun. Heero pushed ahead of Duo and jumped up in front of him cutting him off forcing Duo to swerve in mid- flight. "Heero you maniac!" Duo yelled joking over the link. He then pushed beside Heero and they raced onwards towards their destination. Heero knew in his mind that they would be able to tear apart the COSS army with great ease, in the back of his mind was a doubt growing by every second. What if they created another super mobile suit to give them the upper hand in the war? Heero shook these thoughts out of his mind and trusted that these two incredible gundams could handle anything.
"Ok Duo, we're coming up on the location. Lower your velocity." Heero pulled back his throttle slowing his gundam down gradually. Duo did the same and lowered his velocity so they flew at a steady pace side by side.
"Hey Heero, do you see that on your radar? It shows one blip coming towards us, fast from the COSS HQ." Heero looked down to his radar and sure enough a blip was speeding towards him. "Do you have visual yet?" Duo questioned Heero, trying to see their potential enemy as it closed in on them. It then slowed down and they could both see it clearly.
"Gundam pilots, this is Major Edmund Striker of the COSS army. Stand down!" Heero looked at the new mobile suit oddly, it looked ridiculously familiar to him but he couldn't say why.
"Attention COSS pilot. What makes you think you stand a chance against us?" Duo came over the comm. Trying to anger the pilot so he wouldn't concentrate if a fight arose from the situation.
"Because my mobile suit is superior to yours, we have taken technology from all of the past supreme mobile suits to create Tallgeese IV." Heero eyes widened, that's right the body composition nearly matched that of Tallgeese III, it has a head shaped much like that of a gundam and a breast plate much like Trowa's heavyarms gundam. It held twin machine guns that could easily put a few holes in the average suits armour.
"Let's get this over with Striker, even if your suit is better. The pilot decides who the victor of the battle is." Heero jumped in then closed the link between the two suits. "Duo, stay out of this for now. This is between him and me." He closed the link ignoring all transmissions from Duo and just stared down at Tallgeese IV. The opposing suit pulled out a beam sword from behind its back and Heero did the same. Tallgeese IV shot forward wielding its beam sword just before the two suits made contact it sprung open its' chest plate firing several rounds of bullets into the armour of Wing-ZX. Heero shielding his gundam with his arm, as the shots stopped he pulled his arm away only to meet a shoulder charge from Tallgeese IV. Heero stumbled backwards from the attack then looked up. His gundams eyes began to glow a bright red as he charged back evading an attack and slicing downwards with his beam sword taking out a part of the Tallgeese's armour. Tallgeese moved away with sparks flying from the wound in its armour.
"Stand down Striker, there is no need for your death." Heero pleaded with Striker, despite being very cold inside Heero hated killing since he began to discover his humanity thanks to Relena. Striker didn't respond and just charged back to Heero. Heero met the charge and pushed his suit into the Tallgeese with all of his force. He knocked him back one again and pulled back his beam sword decapitating the mobile suit. He removed his sword and plunged it though the body of the suit, immobilizing it completely leaving it dead in space with Striker alive and well concealed within the cockpit. Heero turned away and looked to Duo. "Let's go Duo, they have probably realized our presence if they sent Striker to confront us.
"Ok Heero, but I can't believe they built another Tallgeese. They must have someone with great knowledge of the gundams and the Tallgeese working for COSS if they can come up with a suit that advanced." Heero nodded and looked ahead into the depths of space.
"I know Duo, I just fear what other creations that they have made to aid them in this war. There are more of these powerful suits that we will need to confront. I just fear if they will be too powerful for us to beat." This plagued Heero's thoughts. If they couldn't defeat the COSS army, the earth was doomed and Relena would die. Heero wouldn't' be able to live with this. They continued to fly on. Space Colony 1 came into view and Heero feared that this would be the most critical moment of the entire war. It would most likely decide the future outcome. Heero would make sure it was the outcome that both himself and Relena wanted so much. Peace.
