Episode 7: The Black Knights

Quatre is stirred back to health. After Trowa's and Duo's battle with Quatre and Wufei, all the pilots were back. Heero was still unconscious. Who is the new evil that arises in space? Who was Quatre, and is Wufei working for?

(July 5, AC 221)

Quatre dosed around like he was drunk. He looked at things that were blurry and now weren't. Then he saw two faces. They got near him. They looked at him strangely. Then one of them raised its hand and slapped him.

"Quatre knock out of it!" said Duo as he slapped his face.

"Duo, watch out. He could still be evil. He could try to kill you or something" said Trowa.

Quatre then got up. He put a hand on Duo's shoulder.

"Duo?" he said with a slow voice.

"Quatre! You're alive! But we already knew that!" said Duo.

"And Trowa? Is that you?"

"Yes, my friend. Welcome back."

"Where have I been? Where are we? Are...are we even on the Earth?" Quatre asked.

"Oh no. He doesn't know" Trowa said to Duo. "The hard way to put this, but, I think you were responsible for the destruction of the Earth."

"The Earth? Is destroyed? But how?" Quatre asked.

"Well, the Indus, their ship, destroyed it. With one shot too. The damn Federation getting on the nerves of our enemies!" yelled Duo.

"Quatre, do you remember anything before we got you" asked Trowa.

"Well, I think I remember this one part. I saw Wufei. He was screaming at people. He looked like he was shot. A body was on the ground, the head separated from the body. The room was almost dark. There was only one light on. Then I don't remember."

"Have you talked to us before?"

"Yes, I remember a dinner. The two of you were there. I talked about the Gundam and I left."

"So you stole the Stolen Gundam?"

"I think, no, wait. Yes I did. But it was all fuzzy. I remember not wanting to do it, but my body controlled me too."

"Was there any secret base of any kind?"

"The Earth."

"What?!" said Duo with shock.

"Was it in an asteroid?" asked Trowa.

"I don't know. I'll show you!" Quatre said but then he fell down on a couch.

"Let him rest, Duo. He'll show us in a couple days. If he's not lying to us."

"Quatre, lying? You got the wrong guy. That guy never tells a lie. If he says its near the Earth. We'll go there."

(July 6, AC 221)

Trowa woke up about 6 a.m (earth time) and went over to Duo and pushed him and he woke up.

"What the hell do you want," said Duo looking at his clock, "At 6 o' clock in the morning."

"We need to go fetch the Stolen Gundam and return it" replied Trowa.

"Damn them. They shouldn't have a Gundam in the first place."

Trowa and Duo flew out in Duo's Deathscythe-K to the battlefield that occurred two nights ago. Then they saw that the Gundam was not there.

"Fuck it! The Indus stole the Gundam!!!" yelled Duo.

"The Federation doesn't have it, so the Indus has to have it. Maybe the Cordons, but they don't come around here in these remote regions.

Then from nowhere, out comes the Gundam, intact in all. Then it pulled out it's beam saber and charged at Duo.

"Hold on Trowa. If he wants a fight, he'll die bloody and the damn well those Indus should!" said Duo as he turned on his scythe and charged toward the Stolen Gundam. Duo swung first but the Stolen Gundam blocked. He pushed Duo scythe off and tried to stab Duo but he moved out of the way and swung around his scythe and it scratched the right arm of the Gundam. The Stolen Gundam packed off and then pursued to attack again.

"Aww man, he is a dead one!" said Duo.

The Stolen Gundam then found a hidden beam rifle hid behind his leg. He pulled it out and started firing it at Duo. Duo charged not affected by the bullets and then swung and cut the beam rifle in half. The Stolen Gundam then packed off again. He turned on his comm. link and started to talk.

"You have clearly one the fight. I am new with this Gundam, for I have found it near here" said the pilot.

"If you do not know, that belong to the Federation, and you must hand it over" said Trowa.

"You are not a Federation soldier, I can tell with the Gundam you fight with. The only Gundam they have, is the one I'm piloting right now. You must be rebels as well."

"You are rebels! I thought the Gundam was in the hand of the Indus. That is certainly good news to here."

"My name is Neosho Akiyashi, and I'm the commander of the 21st Black Knight Squadron."

Right when he said that, 5 gears came out behind the hills. 1 Lesion suit and 4 Leon suits.

"Nice force, you have there" said Trowa. "Have you been taking on the Indus all alone?"

"We had 7 in our squadron," Neosho said looking behind him at a fellow gear, "Now we have 6 pilots, one of them dying to a Indus ace, known as the 'Dark Phantom.'"

"Hey! I could kill a ace any day!" yelled Duo.

"Who is the other person with you?" asked Neosho.

"I'm the pilot who fought you and kicked your ass!" Duo yelled again.

"Well, we'll have to fight again someday, jackass"

Duo smirked.

"And one more thing. Don't mind if we take this Gundam for some Indus killing."

"Sure" said Trowa. "The Federation does not need Gundams. Gundams are not for Indus either. See you soon."

"The same for you" Neosho said as he told his group to leave and they went away.

"What a punch of rebel jackasses!" said Duo.

"Maybe they'll save your ass someday."

"I guarantee that will never happen!"
