Gundam-Soldiers

Side Story

The Earth Campaign

The five Gundams' actions were a direct reflection of the will of all the colonies. The Gundams were Mobile Suits created to deal with the threat caused to the colonies by OZ, a secret organization hidden inside the Federation armed forces. After Colony 195... OZ finally emerged as the leading force in history. OZ's leader Trieze Kushurenada carried out massive operations to devastate and take over the Federation armed forces. Having been tricked into the confrontation, bloody battles between OZ and the colonies' five Mobile Suits began...

We see Heero outside of Wing and hold the detonator,

"Mission...accepted-" Heero blows his suit up and falls

At another scene.

"And Heero killed himself without a thought. Just like that." Duo said

"I swear on these flowers. I will come back and fight for you." Quatre said

Honor Bound

At the circus where Trowa works. Heero was sleeping in a bed and was bandaged up. The TV was on and Heero was slow awaking.

"After declaring a coup da'ta to overthrow the Alliance, OZ and the Federation continue sweeping away the remaining forces of the United Earth Sphere Alliance. More battles are expected around the globe since the Alliance Armed Forces are entrenched in numerous nations." The TV reporter said

Heero gets up and sees a ague image of Relena looking at him.

"Relena...?" but it was actually Catharine.

"Oh, you're awake! Wait here. I'll go get Trowa right now."

"Trowa?" Heero tries to get up but was hurting,

"Don't. You can't get out of bed yet. Take it easy. Trowa! Your friend woke up." Trowa, Daniel and Mike walk in. Trowa and Heero looks at each other and says nothing," Hey, are you hungry? I'll get you some soup, ok?"

Catharine leaves,

"Where am I?"

"A circus group on tour. I've been with them a while now. This is where I hide myself," Trowa explained

"Why did you save my life? I had to die there."

"You are already dead." Daniel said



The TV shows an OZ officer talking,

"Despite our patient attempts for a peaceful solution, the rebels refuse to listen to us. They keep committing acts of sabotage all over the world. No matter what the discussion..."

"It's been a month since then." Mike said," All OZ has been doing so far is putting the remaining opposing nations on Earth under its control...their no different than the Alliance."

"I've been unconscious for a month?!"

"You're already history, as far as OZ is concerned." Crockett said, "So you are no longer bound to duty for the colonies. I wish I were, too."

"Are you guys under pressure?"

"No....but we've received no orders since then, as a matter of fact."

"I see..."

"I couldn't possibly be as decisive as you were. If OZ challenged us again, using the colonies as hostage, I have absolutely no idea what to do. Should I follow in your footsteps?"

"Then, let me tell you one thing....It hurts like Hell..."

Trowa thought for a moment and then laughs out loud. That made the rest laughs a bit. Catharine hears this and smiles.

"Hey, Trowa is laughing out loud. I've never heard him like that."

"This is the first time I've ever asked anyone for a favor. Please tell me everything that happened while I was unconscious."

"Sure..."

Meanwhile, elsewhere, near a waterfall in China. Wufei sits outside of his Gundam's cockpit hatch and listens to mother nature. Wongfei is there as well, with a battalion of Federation forces resting.

"How long are you planning to think to yourself..."

Wufei ignored him and then they heard an eagle flew past them.

"...what strong flap that bird has..." Wufei said and Wongfei seem to understand.

Then, Sai approached the bunch,

"Are you done yet Wufei?" Sai asked, "We have to move on..."

"...right...let's go," Wufei said

Elsewhere, Sally and her guerilla forces escape from a base that they've just raided. Gunfire and an alarm can be heard all over. The main team arrives at the rendezvous point and a truck appears. The rebel forces get in. Sally helps someone get on.

"Hurry! Get in!"

"Quickly! Sally!"

"Let's go, everyone!" Sally ordered and the truck leaves, and Sally detonates an explosive device" This is Sally. Mission accomplished. Returning home!"

Elsewhere, in a bedroom, a small computer turns on an awakens a sort of grumpy man.

"What the hell is going on?!"

"It's a guerilla attack, Col. Bund!"

"Don't let them get away! Kill them all this time!!" Col. Bund demanded

"Yes sir!" the soldier replied and at the base, Mobile Suit forces mobilize.

In a mountain area of Central Asia, within the borders of what used to be called China, a peace-orientated leader of a small country was assassinated. He had advocated the demilitarization of the region, and stood up to challenge the military rule....However, it was a coup de'ta orchestrated by the Alliance's occupational army. Col. Bund, the main conspirator in the coup, renounced unarmed neutrality and pushed a massive arms build up to secure independence. As OZ and the Federation started dismembering the Alliance, many independent countries faced civil wars like this.

Bund gets into his command center.

Back with Sally, they returned fire on the armored car behind them and then someone threw a grenade at it and blows up the car that is following them.

"I did it!"

The another rebel looks at Sally and sees something's troubling her.

"What's wrong, Sally?"

"Nothing."

"Sorry... You returned home after being gone for so many years, only to get involved in such a mess..."

"Don't be. I was the one who decided to come home."

They then reach their camp.

"Is everyone alright?" A guard asked

"Yeah! It was a huge success!" the trucker replied

Then a Leo from above fired its machine gun at the truck and destroyed it. Sally managed to jump out.

"What?! Leo, the land type Mobile Suits?!" The Leos landed, there were about 5 of them.

"This is a direct order from Col. Bund! Don't let anyone of them get away! Kill at will!!" the lance leader announced to the group. He sees people trying to attack him but he targeted them," idiots!"

The lance commander fired and killed some.

"There they are! They're climbing the slope!" a lance mate said

Sally was holding up a rocket launcher and readies to fire.

"That thing's no use against Mobile Suits!"

Sally aims the rocket launcher at the Mobile Suit

"But I can try to at least destroy its main camera!"

"We won't ask you to surrender! Just die!" the lance leader shouted s he aims his rifle.

"Shit!" Sally said and aims.

Then machine gun shots were fired from above and behind them and damaged some of the Leos, followed by barrages from 180mm cannons and some rockets from bazookas.

"What, they have backup?!" the leader said. Then, Shenlong with FongWong, Dragon Gundam, Master Gundam, and a couple of Herakles popped out. "What, Gundams?!"

Sally and her friends looked up to see their saviors.

"Gundams...Why are Gundams here?!" Sally said

The Leo's fired at the group. The RX's took cover and let their leaders handle it. Both the leader Gundams, that is Shenlong and FongWong stood up and let the gun fire bounce off of them.

"Weaklings should not fight!" Wufei said

"What?" Sally asked

"Hurry up and retreat!" Wongfei said to her.

The Leo's continue to fire at them.

"Come on! We can beat these things!" the leader shouted as they pressed forward. "Keep firing!"

"Wufei, show them the consequences of messing with us..." Wongfei said

"Don't underestimate Nataku!" Wufei shouted and jump toward the Leo's and chopped them up with his glaive.

Another came from behind him, but was killed by one of Wongfei's long katana like handled beam sabers. But one got away.

"You'll pay!" the soldier shouted as he flew off

Wufei landed back on the ground and gets ready to get out of his suit, as do with Wongfei.

"Why do you have to fight an enemy that you know that you can't beat?" Wufei asked as he gets down with a cable.

"Because someone has to do it!"

"Did someone order you to fight?"

"No! We are all fighting by our own free will."

"...I don't understand." Sally saw Wufei's gloomed looking face.

"You look very tired. Why don't you come with us and relax for a while?"

"Sally?"

"That's ok. At least we know they're not our enemy. Well?" Wufei gave a thoughtful look.

Back to Bund at his command center, he was shocked at the report of Gundams

"What?! Gundams?! Are you sure?!"

"Yes. I'll send you the images now, Sir."

He sees Shenlong, Dragon, Master, and FongWong, along with the Federation mass productive Gundams and slumped in his chair.

"Those are definitely Gundams alright. These are what's overwhelming OZ, huh?"

"We're heading back now, sir,"

"Uh, right...what should I do..."

The next day, Wufei, Sally and Wongfei went out into town.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

"Yeah."

"You didn't have to come with me. I'm just getting food for the troops."

"I owe you."

"It's we that owe you."

"It wasn't I who saved you. It was Nataku."

"Nataku? Is that the name of the Gundam?...I see."

Later in town, Wufei and Wongfei helps load up boxes.

"There," Wongfei said as he took up one more box, "that should do it."

They then heard glass broke nearby. Soldiers were trashing a shop.

"Watch your mouth, old man!" one soldier said

"Please stop it!" the shop owner plead

"Shut up!" another soldier ordered

"All I asked was for you to pay us every once in a while..."

"Who the hell do you think lets you conduct your business here, in the first place, huh?," the soldier kicks the man to the ground,

"We're risking our lives protecting you, and you demand we pay you?"

"What did you say you guys are protecting?" Sally said

"What?"

"All you guys do is mess up this country with that damned Bund, isn't it?"

"What the hell you say...?!" he picks Sally up a bit but gets knocked down by her.

"Bitch!" the rest attack her, but gets their ass kicked, but then someone took a chair and hits her in the back.

"I'll teach you a lesson!" he aims his gun at her. "No one opposes us and gets away with it alive!"

Then, Wufei and Wongfei jump into the air and knock some back down. Wufei takes someone's gun and throws them.

"W-what the hell do you think you're doing?!" the soldiers drew guns but they were knocked away by Wongfei's gun,

"Stop, you're defeated! Now get out of here!" Wongfei said as he aims his gun at them.

The soldiers see the Federation insignia on him.

"He's a Fedie!" one soldier said

"And he's alone, too. Must be a Gundam officer. Let's get out of here!"

"We'll get you next time bitch!" they drove off.

"Thank you, Wufei. You saved me again."

"Why do you fight knowing you can't win? ...I have no right to say such things."

"Wufei..." Wongfei said

"I'm a coward."

"I don't know why you are saying that."

"Because I was defeated. By a man who was stronger than I was. And I realized that I was a coward who could only beat those who were weaker than myself."

"That doesn't make you a quieter." Wongfei said." Didn't you keep fighting for the colonies to bring back peace to them?"

Wufei starts to walk away.

"I have no right to pilot Nataku."

"But you saved us with it yesterday." Sally said trying to encourage him.

"Because you guys were weak."

"That's right. We are weak. But we are not quitters at the same time. Being weak only brings us more support. And to you, too."

"...I have no right to fight with Nataku."

"Wufei..."

"Leave him Sally..." Wongfei said, "...this is something that...he must do alone. He must leave to face himself again...."

Later at a conference room of Bund's base.

"After analyzing all the data we have, it's safe to say that this is the area where the guerrillas are hiding out." Major Nagaki said as he points at the map.

"I see. We know where they are, but there's still the Gundams, and we've just been told that there were Federation forces here as well." Bund replied

"A Gundam's destructive power is beyond our imagination. If we fight against it head on, we might as well ruin the whole country."

"Why don't we just ask OZ for help? Form a military pact, for instance..."

"I oppose it! It'll give OZ a great opportunity to enter the internal affairs of our country." Nagaki shouted and stood up.

"Our independence will be jeopardized! Unless we fight by ourselves, the world will regard us as an incompetent nation!" another officer explained

"Is that what you want, Sir?"

"Major Nagaki, I just don't want to lose our outstanding officers like you."

"Thank you, Sir...But we are here to fight, risking our lives, and we are all pledged to our declaration of independence to do so."

"That's right, Colonel! We have to defend our homeland by ourselves! That's what independence is all about!"

"Alright. I'm glad to know of your rock solid commitment! We will fight against them using all we've got! For our nation!"

"Yes, Sir!"

Back at the camp. Sally and Wongfei got back.

"Sally, thanks a lot. Huh? What happened to that boy?"

"You know..."

"I see... Well, I'm sure he won't leave us without taking that thing."

"That's right."

"I wonder if he's willing to fight with us."

"No one should insist he fight for anything right now." Asia said

"Why is that?"

"He's suffering from his past." Asia continued, "Apparently, people expected too much of him, and he wasn't able to meet their expectations. So he thinks he's a failure....More or less, he expects both too much and too little of himself. Every battle he fights, he can never be satisfied, because there are too many that are unworthy to be killed by him..."

"Whatever you say, you're his friends after all-what?!"

"The government forces! The government forces are attacking us!"

"Everyone, get ready!"

Wongfei runs to his suit and mount up.

"Let's move out people!" Wongfei shouted as he and about five Herakles armed themselves.

The enemy arrives in masses.

"Attack chopper unit is reporting in. The guerrillas are equipped with several anti-Mobile Suit missiles! Their Federation help is entrenched behind them."

"After a massive attack with missiles, advance the Mobile Suit troops."

"Roger. Ok! Fire!" a barrage of missiles hit the rebel base.

"Don't be scared by the missile attack! Concentrate on the Mobile Suits!"

Wongfei's troops were hard pressed. One suit was shot down.

"Commander! We've lost one sir!" a Federation soldier reported

"Cover the rebel forces and protect Shenlong!" Wongfei ordered and fired his beam rifle.

There were 6 Leo's, and about 5 attack copters

"Helicopter unit! Where's the other Gundam? Confirm its location!"

"He-hey, look! Major Nagaki! We found the last Gundam! Major!" the copter fired missiles at Shenlong but was not damage, "The Gundam is not responding! I'll send you the image!"

"That's a camouflage net. So, the pilot isn't in it yet, huh? Col. Bund, the Gundam is not moving! I'm not sure for how long, but this is a great chance for us!"

"I see. I'll dispatch the main forces! (Bund then turns around) It looks like everything is going well. For me and for your people..." Bund grins at an OZ officer aboard his copter.

"There it is...The Mobile Suit forces are going to secure the Gundam. Missile troop, take precaution and set your sights on the Gundam and be ready to fire at any moment."

"The enemy!" someone shouted at him.

"What's happened?!"

"This is the missile troop! An enemy attack!"

Aries appeared and fired on both the Leo troops and Wongfei's troops. Wongfei looks up.

"Damn it, just what we need. OZ!"

"They're OZ's Aries!" Nagaki shouted, "Col. Bund! OZ is attacking our troops!"

"Our troops?! but Nagaki, those OZ forces are on our side." Bund explains as more Leo's were destroyed, "To help us defend our nation from the threat of Gundam, OZ sent us support troops. But some of our officers went over to the enemy side in protest."

"Colonel! What are you saying...?!"

"That is the scenario. I'm sure that OZ will bring peace to this country. The people will also support it."

"Impossible! The people will never accept OZ's rule!"

"OZ says that it'll let us self-govern the nation. Of course, I will remain as the head of state. Thanks for all your work, Nagaki."

"Col. Bund! How dare you betray our motherland for your own gain! huh! AHH!!!" he got killed by a cannon from an Aries.

"Shit! That damned Bund! He sold out our country to OZ!" a rebel shouted as he threw away his headset.

"Repeating stupidity! The same stupid war by the same stupid people!" Sally shouted as she fired back

Wufei returns and runs to his suit. Back at the battlefield, an RX Gundam fired its 180mm cannon and knocked down an Aries.

"One more shot and it will be over!" a rebel man said and readies his MS missile launcher, but the Aries got up and fired at him, then was shot by Federation forces.

The man got out of the way, but got hit by the explosion that followed. Wufei saw him and helped him up.

"Hey, are you alright?"

"It's you...They got me...because I was weak...But you're strong...Please beat the, defeat OZ..."

"Wufei! What a mess...Wufei, run! This place is no longer safe. We can hold them here for a little while. Hurry!"

"What are you saying, Sally?!" the guy next to Sally grabs Wufei, "Hey, kid! Why can't you fight with us?!"

"I'm...not capable."

"Don't be ridiculous! If I had a machine like that... I would..."

"Take cover!" Sally pushed them down, but the rebel man covered Wufei as he got hit.

"Are you alright... kid...? Please... please end this...this chaos..." and he dies as well

"War does nothing but bring people misery. That's why you always have to have a solid purpose." Sally started walking toward an Aries that was walking.

"Sally, what are you doing?"

"Wufei... You are capable of helping weak people. I want you to remember that. You're a man with a warm heart. " Sally was shot at, but the shots missed.

"Sally! Stop such a ridiculous thing!"

"I'm doing this because I know this is the only thing I can do for you... To make you wake up. And my heart knows it's worth it."

Wufei picks up a rocket launcher and fires at the ground creating smoke.

"Run, Sally!"

"Wufei!"

Wufei runs toward Shenlong and gets in,

"Nataku... I'm not worthy to operate you. But right now I ask of you...lend me your strength!"

"Well, now you've come to your senses!" Wongfei said as he drops his drained rifle.

"It looks like everything is almost over. All we need to do now is secure the Gundam..."

A helicopter gets shot down right in front oh them

"Colonel! The Gundam that was still from the beginning is now moving!"

"What!!"

Shenlong got up and readies himself.

"It's moving!" a Aries pilot shouted

Wongfei takes out his bean sabers.

"Now, we can party!" He and Wufei charged at some suits and stabs them. "All units, press them back!"

One flew behind Wufei and shot him, but Wongfei spun around and cuts it in half. Wufei pulls his weapon out of the first one and charged into a group of three, spun his glaive over his head, and chops them all in one swipe. Dragon Gundam pops out from hiding and shoots out flames from his arms and burned a few of the remaining Aries. Master flew up a bit and took out a sword to chop down another Aries.

"They'd destroyed 10 Aries like they were nothing!" Bund was shocked.

"Colonel, we have two Aries left!"

"Have it protect our transport! Full retreat!"

Wongfei looks up and sees Bund trying to get away.

"Stop him Wufei!" Wongfei shouted in an almost commanding fashion, and Wufei flew up and crushed the Aries with his dragon claw and then threw his glaive at the copter and destroyed it.

Later, Wufei sits down and was joined by Wongfei.

"Wufei. Bund is gone, but I'm sure OZ will continue to seek control over this country." Wongfei said to him, "this is yet another country that we must protect from the evils of the world."

"Why do you keep on fighting, dear cousin?"

"Justice, heh...It sounds soiled now doesn't it? For justice, freedom, and peace. Everyone says the same thing. But I believe in my own justice, just as everyone else does the same. What about you, Wufei? What is your justice?"

Wufei looks up at him.

" 'Whoever is right must also be strong'... A weak person like myself has no right to pilot Nataku."

"Your heart isn't weak. You have a strong heart. And what is a man without a strong heart good for? Wufei... Please come help us again when you are ready to fight with Nataku."

"So you'll keep on fighting even if you're still weak?"

"Well, I believe I have a strong heart, too." Wongfei smiles and walks away for Wufei to think. "So long my dear cousin. I'll see you again...I hope by then you'll be stronger than you are now..."

Wufei looks up as his cousin and his forces takes flight and leaves. Sai and Asia went to his side.

Back with Trowa and Heero.

"I'll leave the food and the car-keys. You have to stay here and recuperate first."

"What are you planning to do?"

"This idea of waging war with the Gundam was not based on the unanimous will of my colony. The operation was planned by only a handful of extremists who held a grudge against the Alliance."

"I don't disagree with being driven according to one's emotion. That's at least how I was told....but, is this what you really want?"

"...We can't give OZ another reason to justify an attack on the colonies. And this is my own decision. Besides, I'm just the same as you. A man driven by emotion..."

Trowa stands out and readies himself.

"...My last, best performance, as far as I'm concerned..." he said

To be continued........
