Wyvern Gold: Chapter 4

~~~~~*~~~~~

"You wanted to see this thing, Major. Although I admit, it is a sight...." Jeremy nudged Kai awake.

"We're there already? Didn't we only leave 10 minutes ago? And where exactly are we?" Kai yawned.

"No, you fell asleep 5 hours ago. And we're about 700 miles away from Colony X74."

"Good nap." She smiled out of the window and let her mind drift. "I didn't know they moved it out here. That'll be an interesting thing to see from my bedroom window..."

Jeremy sighed and went back to watching the gate from the main camera. A metal gate large enough for an entire space station was suspended in the nothingness. The center was a bright window, showing Gaea, a planet completely identical to Earth.

"It looks like a mirror..."

"The other side is nothing like this one."

"You know, you're going to get us killed being all uptight..." Kai huffed.

"Funny, I was just thinking the opposite about you."

"Let's just go. It's getting cramped in here."

As they approached the gate, two manned Virgos and eight Virgo dolls behind each got in their way. The mobile dolls' cameras blinked in unison, but the manned Virgos held out an arm to them and stopped.

"Majors Kai Tyson and Jeremy Or of the Earth Sphere United Nation: North America Division, reporting to the Dimensional Gate. We're going through to further investigate the last shuttle's disappearance. We're also taking both your mobile doll units."

The Virgos seemed to blink their approval and moved aside, sending clearance to Kai and Jeremy.

"Hold me, Jeremy, I'm scared." She purred in his ear and laughed when the hair on the back of his neck stood up.

"Please don't do that again." He spoke through gritted teeth. "Now let's see how this thing works."

The manned Virgos approached the gate and rotated the gate until Gaea and Earth reflected perfectly. The Virgo Dolls surrounded DragonSilver and went into standby mode. A beam of light captured them and they all disappeared through the gate, into Gaea. When they emerged on the other side, DragonSilver went limp and began to drift, while the mobile dolls were unaffected.

Kai shook her head and cupped her hand over her mouth. "Ugh... Am I supposed to be space sick?"

Jeremy sat back in his seat and breathed slowly. "...Yes... Are the mobile dolls... still with us? Hic..."

"Lucky bastards aren't even dizzy. Oh god, where's the airsick bag...."

"DON'T YOU DARE THROW UP IN THIS BRAND NEW GUNDAM, MAJOR!!!" Jeremy was almost panicked.

Kai scrambled around the cockpit being a pain when she caught sight of one of the view screens. "AN INCOMING MOBILE SUIT!! I didn't know Gaeans had space suits!! " She crawled out of the way and managed to get behind him, pushing him forward.

"How am I supposed to reach the rear and top controls!? And my knees are going to crack like this!!!"

"I'll get the rear controls, and you'll get new knees when we get back to Earth!" Kai flipped the switch for the battle mode and kept the cameras fixed on the approaching mobile suit.

DragonSilver raised its Mega Cannon and fired two shots, blowing up two of the Virgo Dolls.

"What the hell was that, Or?!?" Kai stared in disbelief.

"A warning shot. That's WyvernGold. We're going ahead with the plan." Jeremy pushed the Mega Cannon back and pulled a Beam Saber from the side.

"They're using our technology against us!? Now how are we supposed to bring it back without completely screwing it up?!"

~~~~~*~~~~~

"What an UGLY Guymelef!" Dei growled and bared WyvernGold's claws. "But it looks like one of ours and it just destroyed two of those other dolls. Just how many of these hybrid Gaean suits are there?"

Dei ignored DragonSilver for the moment and went after the Virgo Dolls. Unsure of how to react to the seemingly foreign suit, they prompted Jeremy and Kai for instructions.

"Major Or, should we tell the Dolls to disable the suit with minimal damage?" Kai read the screens quickly and wrote up new prompts for the dolls.

"No, tell them to take evasive maneuvers. They're just cannon fodder anyway. We'll destroy them all, and then we'll grab WyvernGold, merge with it and override, then take it and the pilot back to the base."

"Sending transmissions!" Kai took a small side-screen over and watched as the Virgo Dolls split up and move away.

"No! No escape!" WyvernGold grabbed one doll around the waist with its tail and crushed it into two pieces. It used the remaining pieces as weapons and hurled them into two retreating dolls.

"The pilot is pretty good with advanced technology..." Jeremy was able to keep an eye on WyvernGold while chasing two Virgos. It had found five more and had obliterated them.

"Actually, something's wrong. It's not using the Beam Cannon. This would have been over by now if it had just fired once." Kai fired the rear rockets and a doll that was too close exploded.

"Are you complaining, Major?" Jeremy sliced three dolls in half.

"No, but don't you find it a bit odd that it's taking its time destroying the rest of the dolls? I think the pilot doesn't know what she's doing!" Kai put the engine output at all stop and waited for WyvernGold. "Once it stops, we should make the next move."

"I wonder if they understand the mobile suit's communication functions... Major Tyson, open a communications channel."

"Alright, but if the pilot did, she would have figured out the doll system and done something about it."

"Maybe not. And why do you think the pilot's a she?" Jeremy knew this had to be a guy because of the pilot's superior fighting skills against new Mobile Dolls.

"See for yourself."
