Chapter 3- Descend to Earth
One night, the people of Earth looked up at the stars to find that some were moving. Heading to the planet, ready to take their places in the Gundam Fight, came the titans themselves, tucked away in red capsules. And with these came the crews in charge of them.
Allenby was sipping a cup of tea as the Swedish capsule penetrated the Earth's atmosphere. Sven, who was the pilot for this one, glanced over at her. "This is gonna get rough, Miss. Beardsly. Don't burn yourself."
"Don't worry about me!" she responded over the engine's roar. "Oh, and by the way, it's just Allenby!"
Instantly, the ship and its cargo began to tremble violently. "YEEEEOOOOWWW!!!" Allenby howled as her drink splashed right up into her face. Rather than find it funny, Sven nervously reverted his gaze back to what lay ahead. The surface of the planet was coming up fast to greet them.
POOM!!!! The capsule planted itself into the ground, causing the soil to cave into a huge crater. Sven took a deep breath as the machine quieted down. "Whew! That's always the tricky part!"
Allenby groaned. Her tea was now spilled all over her face, chest, and lap. She inwardly scolded herself for taking the tea with her when they had first left the colony. 'You sure picked a good time to be thirsty.'
Sven smiled at her while he pushed the button that would open the door. "We'll have to look for a towel or something once we get out of here. I'm sure there are some with the supplies."
He jumped out into the night air and turned around again to help her out. Graciously, she took his hand and allowed him to pull her out of the cramped cockpit and into the crater. "That's funny. I don't remember the last ride down here being so.bumpy." She remarked, studying the massive imprint in the earth.
"My radar tells me that we're somewhere in Neo Mexico." Sven declared, studying a small, compass-like instrument in his hand.
"Cool, we can have tacos for dinner!" Allenby piped, grinning broadly.
But Sven didn't seem so enthusiastic as he was quick to clear his throat and change the subject. "Uh, so what do you want to do as far as fights go?"
"We can stay here and wait for the representative of this nation to show up." She answered. "There's no rush one way or another." She took off to begin climbing up the slopes. "Come on! Let's check this place out!"
"You think the gundam will be okay here?"
She nodded. "Sure! Don't worry, pilots do this all the time!"
He shrugged. "Well, okay." He followed after her, tucking his radar away in his coat pocket.
As they finally reached the top, Allenby gasped. "Sven! Look up there! Wow!"
The young man lifted his head to where she pointed in the starry skies, only to gawk as well. "Oh wow."
Before their very eyes came an incredible display of flashing lights as other gundam capsules passed into the atmosphere and crashed to the ground miles and miles away. It was almost like watching a meteor shower!
"I hope they all land safely." Sven muttered.
"Yeah," Allenby agreed quietly. 'So I'll have my chance to fight THEM all once again.'
She peered over her shoulder, noticing some lights in the distance. "Sven, let's head on into town and refuel, okay? You must be hungry, right?"
Sven followed. "Me hungry? Well."
