Chapter 5 - Midnight Sun
"Prepare to attack right away, ignore all communications Duo." Heero was very serious about this attack, as he should be. A lot was on his mind. Relena's safety, what other powerful mobile suits COSS housed in their massive station, and what would happen if they failed. "Here comes some more suits to intercept us." Heero stumbled out of the thought as the blips appeared on the radar, they quickly came into view ahead of him. He shot out to the right forcing the attacking suits to turn. He moved on a strafe firing shots into the body of the suits forcing them to explode in the cold of space. He looked around as his comm screen lighted up with messages coming from his enemies. He just flicked a small red switch turning off all of the lights sending a static sound through the link to the enemies.
Wing-ZX flew with incredible grace over the battlefield, these average suits were no match for him. The pilots were mediocre and suddenly Heero stopped allow some of the suits to unload rounds on him. He just began to think, it was too easy, there had to be something else that would come he just couldn't continue fighting, his mind locked up and he couldn't move anymore. What was COSS hiding? His thoughts were interrupted as a large blast shot him from behind. His gundam stumbled slightly as he turned with incredible force driving his beam sword right down the centre of his opponent. He continued to fight off the suits as Duo cut through the other suits as well.
"It's too easy!" Duo said to no one at all, just to amuse himself. He swung around his scythe cutting another two suits down in front of him in a large explosion of scrap-metal. The suits were dropping like flies. The fifteen that originally attacked were now down to three, one came straight for Duo and jammed the metallic end of his scythe into the body of the suit knocking it back. He spun around cutting the enemy down with one swift swipe with his scythe. The final two suits came for Heero, he ducked under one attack, turning and pushing his beam sword through one of the suits backs. The other came from behind Heero, firing everything it had left. Heero's machine guns popped up and fired knocking the final enemy back and eventually piercing its armour resulting in a large explosion.
"That's all of them. Not too hard eh Heero?" Heero just gave a silent hmm to the situation and looked ahead. He then heard a very discreet beeping coming from his console. His head swung down to find two more blips approaching them very quickly. "Heads up Heero."
"I see them Duo."
"No seriously, I see one. It's right on top of you!"
"What? Shit!" Heero felt a large jolt come from above him at his gundam flew through the air after a very powerful blow struck it. He looked out the side of his cockpit seeing his right arm cut open with sparks flying in every direction. Static electricity jumped around from all of the circuits within the gundam's arm piece and Heero looked up at his new enemy. It was nearly an exact copy of Wing Gundam, his first gundam. It was destroyed a long time ago and now it had been rebuilt. He looked over to find the original Deathsythe staring down Duo with it's scythe drawn ready to battle.
"What is this Heero?"
"I don't know Duo, just fight!" Heero closed the link, he needed to concentrate. His right arm was nearly useless and he now had a very strong disadvantage against whoever piloted wing. It's beam sword was drawn and ready to fight, Heero switched hands and now wielded his beam sword in his left hand. He was ready to fight. But Wing just sat there, dead in space almost, just looking at Heero, almost waiting for him to make the first move. "Who are you?"
"I'm surprised you don't know me... Heero. My style of fighting, so fast. I would have thought you could have figured it all out."
"Wufei!"
"Very good Heero, you only needed to hear my voice."
"Where did you get wing?"
"Oh, our scientist's are very good indeed. They rebuilt more than just Deathscythe and Wing Gundam. You have no chance in this war Heero, you and your precious gundam will perish. Right here, right now." Wufei closed the link and charged Heero slashing, much like a mad man allowing no time for Heero to mount an attack of his own. He then pushed back with his beam sword as they both struck, pushing hard against eachother.
"Stand down Wufei!"
"Ha, I won't go down that easy." He then pulled away slicing with his sword under taking out Heero's right leg. Heero's gundam spun and Heero tried his best to get it to even out. He finally got everything level and felt another blow come as Wufei dropped down on Heero. He is using the same strategy. Heero thought. He continues to knock me away and come from above. Heero then charged Wufei, their blade attacks matching each other's, neither of them gaining an advantage. He moved once more but Heero missed Wufei moved down sending Heero into another spiral. He began to level out and Heero screamed.
"Now!" He thrust upwards with his blade hearing it connect with metal as his blade pierced Wing Gundam's armour. "Goodbye Wufei." Wufei mounted no response as Heero pulled away to watch Wing and Wufei die in a large explosion. He looked over to Duo. He was slowly taking off all of Deathscythe's limbs. Duo's opponent looked crippled as it sat in space struggling to stay right-side up in the fight. Duo made one last attacking avoiding his opponent's parry and driving his scythe through the suit's armour cutting it in two.
"Heero, you alright? You're pretty banged up."
"I've had enough of this."
"What are you talking about?" Heero didn't respond immediately, he pulled out his buster rifle and pointed it at the Colony.
"Go Duo! The explosion will be too large you can't outrun it."
"But what about you?"
"Don't worry about it." Heero didn't intend to die, he was prepared for this. He designed Wing-ZX for situations such as this. "Now go!" Duo hadn't moved yet and Heero was growing impatient, COSS would send more suits and Heero wasn't in the mood to wait for them. Duo then turned and sped off back towards earth and Heero's laboratory. Heero then turned back and stared down at the station. "Mission complete!" He pulled the trigger and the buster rifle shot down at the space station. It was a direct hit as the side of the colony ignited in a large explosion. Heero fired again, this time along the other side of the colony. The same result occurred after this shot. Finally he fired his third and final shot, he threw his buster rifle aside and watched as his blast hit the centre of the station. It collapsed in a large explosion as Heero turned and his gundam changed into what looked like an airplane as he blasted back to the earth.
The station was gone, it looked much like the sun in the sky above earth but it the darkness of space, much like the night. It was a midnight sun.
"Prepare to attack right away, ignore all communications Duo." Heero was very serious about this attack, as he should be. A lot was on his mind.
