The loud hammering of automatic weapons-fire could be heard among the screams of the wounded. Endless numbers of sentinels could be seen swarming about in clusters of six or seven. An APU donning the bright yellow colors of a commanding officer leaned dangerously close to the edge of the bridge. Two, three sentinels swam through the air, and latched upon the unlucky pilot's mech, tearing away at the metal pistons and wires. Huge legs carried the APU up and over the edge of the bridge, falling down upon the landing bay below, only to be swarmed upon by more sentinels.

  Captain Mifune piloted his APU like an expert, though he had never even finished the training program. He moved his APU with the grace of a ballerina, and his aim was hardly ever off. So how did he come to the situation where he was a last stand against thousands of robotic sentinels?

  The sentinels swarmed together to form a huge river of metal, hurtling towards Mifune. They were met by his 30 mm auto cannons thundering away at their squid-like bodies. Mifune let out a war-cry as he hammered away at them. But they were to strong. They drew closer and closer until he was face to face with them, then they overwhelmed him and swarmed over his body, tearing at his APU and his flesh. His APU fell backwards, and they swarmed off, to add to the destruction of the landing bay.

  "Sir, sir are you all right??" Kid, a 16 year old volunteer for reloading APUs in action climbed up to meet Mifune.

  "They cut me…" He rasped. A huge gash was across his face, and numerous other cuts could be seen. "Kid… You must… take my APU… Destroy… The… Chain holding door 3 closed… Do it… Now…"

  "But sir…"

  "Just do it… The fate of Zion depends on you…"

  "But sir… I never finished the APU training program…"

  There was a long pause.

  "Well son… Neither did I."

AHHHH I know I suck, but I love big robots with guns, so I wrote about Mifune's last stand. Please R&R and tell me how much u hated it. Unless u didn't hate it of course.
