Chapter 7: Boomers, 1st Engagement
Previously:
"Do you know what a boomer is?"
"Where does it say that?" Serena demanded as Relena pointed to the excerpt.
"Right here"
Serena looked to where the finger was pointing then read the paragraph that the point was found it. "Shit. We are leaving right now." Snapping the file shut, she shoved the file into her pocket and scrambled into her suit.
"Okay, why?"
"The Boomers."
***********
Cosmos dropped Relena off at her balcony and teleported. Locking onto Wufei's energy, she came out above the battlefield. Cosmos watched over the gundams, as they seemed to be decimating the pitiful mechas defending the base and defending the three open gundams. Serena watched as men and guards scurried all over the yard. Cosmos watched as men and guards scurried all over the yard. Cosmos watched as they formed seemingly scattered chaos in the yard when they were actually running (tirelessly) in a very complicated pattern that could converge at any point along the path. "Boomers. Shit!"
"03, 04, how soon are the other three expected out of the building?" "Hello, Lt." 03 responded, "They're on their way out now, reaching their Gundams in two minutes, bombs going off in two minutes and forty seconds." "Damn it! Start firing in on the civilians in their escape corridor." "What!?" "Just do it. They aren't civilians." With that she cut communications and dive-bombed the people running around in the courtyard. "Blades," She intoned. Two long blades beamed from the suit's elbows. Six heads rolled and sparked along the concrete, pseudo blood and ichors spurting from the necks. Cosmos fired a low-level plasma cannon pulse from her left palm blowing a the middles of three not-men out on the building walls.
"Oh Dear! That was unexpected." 03 muttered as he attacked the not-men that came within reach of his shuttles. 04 response was to raise an eyebrow and open fire on any of the not-men that attacked Lt on from behind or on her blind sides.

Heero dodged out of the lab, information in his vest pocket, to join Wufei and Duo who were waiting for him in the hall. Guarding the room while he broke through some of the toughest firewalls that he had yet to encounter. The information was worth it though. The Doctors really wanted this stuff; it being something about genetically modified battle personal, code name GENOME.
They were running down the halls to the designated exit, it was a poorly guarded courtyard, large enough but fairly over grown, the employees used it more for smoke breaks and the like. Their gundams where just beyond it. Suddenly the PA system crackled to life. PROTOCOL 231ALFA. DESTROY KNIGHT SABER. PROTOCOL 231ALFA. DESTROY KNIGHT SABER. PROTOCOL.
"What was that?" Duo asked as they ducked around a corner as guards sprinted by. "Hn" Duo rolled his eyes as he followed Heero and Wufei down the last hall. Breaking the lock on their exit and disabling the security wires, they opened the door, weapons drawn to face chaos.
~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~
..231ALFA. DESTROY KNIGHT SABER.
One by one, the remaining two score men in the courtyard stopped running simultaneously. Their collared shirts and gray work pants bulged and ripped, releasing coiled growths of muscles. The gigantic humanoids stood at twelve feet, looming over Cosmos. Their heads all swiveled over to the diminutive figure in their midst.
"04, do you copy?" "Rodger." "Change mission parameters.ensure return of 01, 02 and 05, confirm capture of data and destruction of base." "The new parameters are acceptable, mission accepted." "But what about you?" worry tinged his voice. He had lost visual of Lt when the lummoxes sprung up like daisies. He took out on the .things with his shuttle but they were avoiding him, focusing on Lt." "If you feel like it 03, bring what ever is left of me to Relena-sama. You've got your mission and I've got mine. None of these bastards can escape be fore the blast." "Yes but." Lt watched as the boomers moved encircled her. She knew that they were running scans on her; ensure that she was their new target. She heard 04 open fire, clearing a path from the exit to the gundams. She wasn't concerned; the humanoids were focused on her and not the three men that would be hurdling out the door in mere seconds. "Cosmos out." The party was about to get started.
Cosmos threw herself into the battle as the circle broke and the boomers lunged. That was what they were, boomers and God she hated them. Spring boarding from on of the boomers, she back flipped up and over a stream of machine gun fire, the bullets instead finding purchase in the bodies of her opponents. There were so many of them. Landing in a crouch, she crossed her arms to gather a quick bit of energy in her suit and then uncoiled them, launching plasma pulses at the boomers on either side of her.
She heard the five gundums engage their engines and take off. Sighing and ducking under a razor tentacle-like appendage, she realized that she had less than forty seconds to destroy the boomers so that she could beat the blast. The elbow blade sliced through the back of another boomer. As Cosmos bounded away the two pieces slide apart with a plop. One managed to backhand her towards the wall. She was a bit dazed but curled her body into a ball, shifting her balance to kick off the wall, and launch herself right back into the fray. She snap kicked one of their heads, taking it right off as she reached out and crushed another one with her right hand. Dancing in and around them, she managed to destroy all twenty-four of the class D Boomers with only a few bruises. Class Ds were weak cannon fodder type boomers. The grunts if you will, they were incapable of working together and their armaments were minimum though the razor tentacles were new. She was fast, stronger and had more power than the Ds. It was the four Class A's that had trouped out the side doors to the courtyard, and prepping to engage, that were seriously disturbing her.
Cosmos breathed a little as she realized that the Class A's had taken her on all four four corners. Before she could swear, the razor tentacles shot out of their wrists from all cardinal points. Cosmos dodged as many as she could shearing through some of them with her elbow blades but they just kept coming. "I hate Class A's, damn horny Dobermans."
Their tentacle cables had caught her by one of her ankles and swiftly pulled her off balance. The other tentacles made short work grabbing and securing her other appendages. She swore as the pressure in her limbs increases as the boomers tried to pull her apart. Panting, she picked up a transmission that the boomers were receiving. She knew that she had precious few seconds before the building go boom.but wanted to hear the transmission.
Do not destroy target, capture target and return target to base.
~Crap that's a no go~ Cosmos increased her struggles, shunting a great deal of power into the suit to make sure she wasn't ripped apart and would stand up to the blast that gundams set. Her eyes began to glow until they were visible to the outsider through her faceplate. An iridescent shimmer hovered above the suit. The tentacles constricted around her chest and waist, the razors were cutting into her flesh at her wrists and across her chest. She grimaced and with a defiant yell, she released the gather energy. Around her the building blew up. Drawing out her suits wings, she took off straight up and out, hoping to hell she out flew the blast radius. Feeling the heat on her she hit the locator button on her suit as the blasts pulse hit her and propelling her unconscious form through the sky.
~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
The gundams had their communications open now that they were in flight. Heero ran a path-hack scan to get into Lt's visual and audio sending and receiving frequencies to find out what in the world she was doing. In less than four seconds after take off he had uplinked with her suit and had extend the audio and visuals to his teammates.
"What are we waiting for Winner?' Wufei inquired as Heero was working on getting a signal. "Lt asked if we weren't pressed to return her to Relena-sama if we can find her after the detonation." "Why Relena?" asked Duo "Why is she staying for the detonation? Baka onna. That is the stupidest tactical idea I've ever heard." "It is her mission to make sure that those human tanks to not escape the detonation." "She made herself the target." Trowa quietly added. "Besides Wu-man it is dishonorable to leave a lady when she requests a retrieval." "Maxwell!!! Kisama!!!!!" "Quiet." Hero demanded as a signal was received.
*.hate Class A's. Damn horny Dobermans.bloody hell..* Duo and Q winced as
the saw and heard the backhand connect. It was disconcerting to see her
crush one of their heads in her hand and punch through their chests. They
became very well acquainted with the new humanoid enemy and some of the
armaments of their strange ally. Her grunts and regulated breathing were
really all their heard until the visuals turned upside down and then the
swearing started. They could see that she was suspended upsided down as
she swiveled her head to take in her situation. Then they heard the
transmission that she picked up, another batch of swearing and a quite
prayer that the gundams knew their explosives before the visuals blanked
out in white light and her breath became more laboured. With a yell, the
visuals returned and the watched as she gained a great deal of controlled
height very quickly. *.respectable blast.nice range.locator on. * The
visuals shut down and the audio crackled.
Trowa beat Heero to zoning in on Lt's locator becon. which seemed to be moving at an incredibly fast click towards them. Just then an object came hurtling out of the sky and hit Wing's chest plates. The impacted jolted Heero who immediately inspected potential damage to his suit, as his peripheral visual units monitored the objects fall to earth. "Someone catch that!" Trowa yelled quickly. "Carefully" he added as an after thought. Shenlong jumped from the ground and cradled the fallen star in his massive hands. Opening his hands, as one would after catching an interesting tiny animal, revealed a battered, scorched and unresponsive Lt. No amount of gentle nudging from his mammoth finger would get her to wake. Cupping her in his hands again he blasted off to base and the Preventors med bay.
Q put a call in for Relena to meet them at hanger beta-3 ASAP. "No problem Quatre, is there any reason?" "Do you know an Lt. "Lt? . I don't think." on the other end Relena's eyes widened. "Rodger that Quatre. Out" came the surprising monotonous reply from the usually bubbly blond princess. Quatre blinked a couple of times and decided to ask Heero and Trowa if they had noticed anything off about Relena lately once they had landed.
~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~
Relena swore a blue streak, tearing off her pink suit, she hurriedly donned a pair of tight black leather pants, an orange lycra muscle shirt and a short black leather jacket. She grabbed her keys, her com. watch and her pen and shoved them into her space pocket. Running to Planchet, she told him that she was having a hankering for an ice cream and that she would be back later and no she didn't need and escort. PS don't wait up.
Braiding and securing her hair under her helmet, she mounted her cycle, revved the engine and sped off towards the Preventors Beta-3 hanger.
