Well, I guess I have to do a MAJOR apology here for the delay. I don't really have an excuse here, cause there is none and that I was a lazy bum, so sorry guy.

Special thanks to 'eyeofthetempest' who gave me a wake up call. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have bothered to update at all.
Shinji puzzled over the videotape Rei gave him after the meeting. Judging from the technology he has seen in this timeline, he doubted that videotapes were in use anymore. 'Does that mean...' Shinji suddenly shivered as he had an accurate idea of what this tape may contain. However the first problem still stands, 'How the heck am I going to watch this if no one uses this anymore?' Suddenly, the boy had a bright idea and ran of to find Heero.
Heero was in his office, watching the T.V intently. He was notified soon after the meeting with his fellow Gundam pilots that a resistance has been formed in America. On the screen was an attractive reporter wearing a military helmet. "Not 45 minutes ago, an army of mobile suits and vehicle has infiltrated this town, which is currently being held by the rebels who oppose the newly formed peace consul following the Eve Wars. It is clear that some of the mobile suits hav – WATCH OUT!" interrupted the cameraman as he pushed the reporter out of the way; both just barely missed a mountain of falling debris caused by an explosion. "What the hell of that?" shrieked the reporter in scared frustration, fear easily seen from her face.
"Over there!" yelled the cameraman as he adjusted the camera to what he saw. Several Serpents where seen entering the city with guns blazing, catching several mobile suits by surprise. However they failed to destroy any mobile suits, except for ripping an arm of a surprised Cyclopes, who then dived for cover behind a building. "Ladies and gentleman!" panted the reporter quickly as she and the cameraman ran for better cover. "What you are witnessing is a battle of the rebels who days ago, took control of this country and the brave man who still – HEY!" cried the reporter as she was interrupted again, this time by a soldier of the rebels.
"Get out of here!" ordered the soldier, "No reporters allowed!"
"The public has a right to know -," the soldier, who realized that the camera's attention was on him, angrily disposed of the annoying object. Static soon took over the screen. Heero sighed, not negatively but hopefully. 'Maybe the resistance can hold them long enough from doing anything critical, so we can make your counter attack', thought Heero.
Knock, knock, knock.
Heero swiveled his chair around so he was now looking at the door. Heero only knew one person in his entire life who knocked so meekly, so Heero knew exactly who he was. "Come in Shinji," said Heero in his normal deep voice, trying to sound as normal as possible.
"Am I interrupting something?" asked the boy outside shyly. Heero sighed. 'Old habits die-hard I guess,' thought Heero while standing to the door and opening it.
"Come in Shinji, you look stupid outside like that anyways," said Heero with a slight smile in his face. "Now Shinji what do you need?"
"Well...err...ahh," stuttered the boy. However Heero noticed that he was holding a videotape in his hands and put two and two together.
"You wanted to watch that tape?" asked Heero. Shinji nodded. "But you realized that no one has technology that old anymore." Shinji nodded. "So you came to me instead?" Shinji nodded again. "Well than..." Heero said as he ducked under his messy desk filled with unfinished documents and reports. Heero soon re surfaced with an old video machine and blow some dust off it. "Next time you need something, just ask. You hurt my feelings Shinji just then, you hurt me deep," said Heero with a fake sigh.
"You starting to sound like Mr. Maxwell," said Shinji with a grin on his face.
"Well I guess I'm hanging around him for too long. By the way Shinji, when we see him again, don't call him Mr. Maxwell, he doesn't like that. Call him Duo." Shinji nodded for a response, and then his gaze fell down to the video machine. "I bet you are wondering why I have this right?" asked Heero. Taking the silence for a 'yes' he continued. "Well during the war, OZ sent quite a few of their tope secret document by tape. The idea was that no one would know what a video type is anymore, because it is so old and that no one could read what is inside of, because no one has a machine anymore. Unfortunately for them, we caught on and Dr J made this for us," explained Heero. "Now, I guess you want your privacy, if I think what I think that tape is about," said Heero casually as he grabbed his coat from the back of his chair and ruffled Shinji's hair on his way out. 'What is with people and ruffling my hair?' thought Shinji to himself while he started connecting the machine to the TV. The process took no longer than a few minutes, with the only complication being the power cable was slightly too short and that Shinji has to shift the TV around a little. Sighing contently, that he managed to connect everything together properly, Shinji slipped in the videotape that Rei gave him. Straight away Shinji was greeted by funky music and a title that said,' Lion King'.
'You got to be kidding me,' thought Shinji with a large sweatdrop on his head. His facial expression changed when it was soon taken over by static, than almost as suddenly, Asuka's face...the real Asuka's face.
Well, I'm sorry for the long delay and for the short chapter. I'm experiencing an extremely severe writer's block and this is not the only story on hold because of it. I'm recovering from it now, so expect to see me update for often.
