CHAPTER V
THE flight of the dove
Chris Mackenzie was just simply doing her job. About a couple years ago, doing her job meant to develop the Gundam Alex and test it out and then give it to Amuro ray, but now, in UC 0082, doing her job mean dressing up in a skimpy outfit and serving drinks to Char Aznable and Shin Matsunaga while they watched a couple of girl dancer wave their stuff in front of them. After the war ended with a really really really sour note, female pilots were hopeless. Zeon was a sexist organization, and females were not allowed to be pilots. The females of Zeon were either exotic dancers or 'the wife', except for Kycilia Zabi, who recently died. Chris tried to find a military or technical job after the war ended, but being a Gundam pilot was a real blow to your resume. For three months she lived off food living in the garbage cans of Side 6. Eating the rotten food was her only hope for survival, but she later got a bad sickness from all the bad food.
She then found an old newspaper rolling across the ground and picked it up. It had an add for an exotic dance club, and there was a little bubble that said 'now hiring!' Since her colleagues had often commented on her beautiful figure, she tried it out. She thought it wouldn't hurt to strut her stuff in front of some rich men, but it was a lot harder than she thought. Not only was the costume very tight and gave her bad cramps, she often had to avoid the men after the show or they would brutalize her, and it was real embarrassing to take off her clothes in front of everyone. She was about to quit when one night, Char Aznable decided to watch a show. Since he was such a well-known pilot and a politician to a lesser extent, Chris gave the best performance she could ever possibly give, and Char was really pleased. He liked her performance so much that he actually hired her to dance privately for him for a million dollars a year, Since that was way more than Chris ever made in her entire life, she agreed to be his private dancer.
On that particular day of her job, Char had invited legendary Zeon pilot Shin Matsunaga to his bar and had two other dancers, Karen Joshua and Lila Milla Rira (Char liked female Gundam pilots), dance for them. Chris was ordered to bring Char a cold cherry wine cooler while Shin asked for a plain margarita, and she brought it to them in a showy and exaggerated way, which Char found attractive.
"Sorry about Moscow", apologized Shin. "If it wasn't for those reinforcements I could've taken the Gundams".
"Don't fret over it", said Char while taking his drink. "It was nothing more than fake sand dunes and Zakus".
"Wasn't that Zabi funeral a little overdone?" asked Shin. "It took away the dramatic effect."
"You weren't supposed to fell anything", said Char. "Well, at least I didn't".
"Oh come on!" yelled Shin. "Doesn't seeing half a dozen dead bodies make you a little angry or even touched?"
"They looked better in their caskets than when they were alive", asked Char.
"Why do I think that you had something to do with this?" asked Shin. Char then jumped back and Chris was frozen still. It was rude to say something like that to the Sovereign of Zeon, but Shin did have a point. Char was caught stealing the cookies from the cookie jar.
"If you promise not to tell anyone what I am about to tell you, I will give you a million dollar raise, one of my dancing girls, and another million dollars on top of that", begged Char.
"You have my word on it", said a happy Shin.
"Okay", said Char. "I tricked Johnny Ridden and a bunch of Zaku pilots to destroy Colorado base during negotiations between the Rebels and the Zabi family."
"WHAT?!?!?!" yelled Chris.
"Shut up", said Char. "You're just a dancer".
"Sorry", said Chris. She couldn't believe that what Char said was true. She, the Rebels, and all of Zeon thought that there was an accidental attack on the base during the negotiations, thus causing the deaths of the Zabis.
"Before you say I should be tried for treason", said Char, "I had reason."
"Bullshit", said Shin. "You wanted to be the Sovereign of Zeon. That's why there were so many bounty hunters killing generals that week."
"Before you continue that vulgar language", said Char, "let me explain myself. I had proposed several ideas to destroy the rebels during this pointless 'war', such as to have a large cannon orbiting earth or to launch hundreds of Big Zams at their bases and leaving them defenseless. No matter how good the plan was, the Degwin wouldn't buy into it. He and his kin thought that if we committed a mass terrorism attack like that, we would loose public trust and riots and that entire sort would be the common thing. The thing is, attacking their bases and having fake negotiations won't solve the problem. My plans will."
"What are you going to do now that you're in office?" asked Shin.
"I have a plan", said Char. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a device, and activated it. The device produced a holographic image of a large mobile suit with a large, oval waist and two very big legs. "Meet the Perfect Zeong. The original didn't have legs, but I ordered the engineers to add them. You see, this Mobile suit is just a part of my plan. I will pilot this suit with all the Zakus and Chiway class cruisers that Zeon has got. That is just my diversion, though. I have designed two nuclear weapons that will fit into the cannon of a Gelgoog cannon. Shin, I would like you to pilot one of the Gelgoog cannons to fight in the battle".
"No", said Shin. "You're a bastard. Not only do I hate your politics, but I hate your personality and your stupid mask."
"I'll give you a two million dollar raise if you agree!" yelled Char.
"Five million!" yelled Shin.
"Three million!" yelled Char.
"DONE!" yelled Shin. He then hugged Char and patted his back. "You may be a bastard, but you're a kind one".
"I'll drink to that", said Char. "Now, pick your girl. They're all carefree and ready to go". As Shin looked at all the women closely, Chris was having a psychological war. She couldn't believe what she heard. What she had just heard would be worth trillions for the Rebellion, but she knew better than to be selfish like that. Even though she could become rich from wearing skimpy clothes around Char, she would much better have been a rebel than a slut. Then, out of nowhere, an idea popped into her mind that made her smile.
"PLEASE, PLEASE LET ME BE YOUR BABE!" yelled Chris. She began to take off her bra but Shin ran up to her and put it back on.
"All right all right", exclaimed Shin. "Relax. Save that for later. Actually, you've gotten me exited. Give me pleasure!"
"Yes, sir", sighed Chris. She then took him to the kitchen, where a couple of fat man where cooking a meal.
"Can a man have a minute?" asked Shin. The two chefs ran away and turned towards Chris.
"Let's see what's underneath those clothes", said Chris. She then took off Shin's uniform while he was moving in excitement. Finally, when he had no shirt on, she then walked towards the chef's area.
"What are you doing?" asked Shin.
"Something that I've meant to do for a long, long time", said Chris. She then grabbed a knife and threw it at Shin, and the knife penetrated his forehead. She then took off his uniform, took off the skimpy clothes for once in her life, and put on the uniform. She then walked out of the kitchen and walked to the hangar, which she passed by everyday to go to Char's bar. No one noticed her disguise or gender, until she walked into the hangar and met up with the guards.
"Hey!" yelled the guards. "You're female!" Once she heard their comment, she whipped out a gun and shot both guards. All the pilots in the room then raised their hands in surrender as she aimed the guns at each of them. She walked over to a Psycommu system Zaku (she was trained in the ways of Psycommu before she got the Alex), got in, and used her mind to pilot the Zaku out of the place. Several anti-orbital cannons began to fire upon her, but she dodged those thick blasts. She decided to set a course for Moscow, since that was where the Rebels had their most recent victory. A few hours later, she landed in Moscow with no opposition. She sighed a sigh of relief and wiped her face with a towel, but once removed the towel she was shocked to see a green Gundam which had two arm cannons aimed at her.
"Psycommu Zaku", said the Green Gundam, "This is your last chance. Surrender now or face the wrath of the rebels." Chris then ran out of the Gundam and raised her hands in surrender. The pilot then zoomed out of his Gundam with his pistol raised at her but he sighed.
"Heinz Baer", sighed Chris. "I knew it was you".
"Where have you been?" asked Heinz. "It's so good to see you!"
"I was a dancer for Char", said Chris, "But I have something to tell you".
"What kind of a something?" asked Heinz.
"A big something", said Chris. "Something that can change the outcome of this war forever."
