Pilot's Retruning Battle
By: Chetario
While Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, and Zechs went towards the law offices by the name of "Zodiac", Duo and Heero went upwards towards the night sky. When Duo reached a point in which he was in front of the moon, he turned his hyper jammers offline, in an instant the enemy units had a lock and started firing their chain guns at Deathscythe Hell Custom. Duo swerved skillfully and turned on his beam scythe gave a long swipe and got the Aires' legs and part of the weapons. Heero on the other hand gave a long thrust of his beam saber in to the Aries' shoulder and shot the head with his Machine Cannons. Wufei was zigzagging rockets that were fired by the Aires', then at one point he launched a Dragon Fang at one of the Aires' heads and crushed the head. Quatre then boosted up to one of the Aires' and cut its arms and shoulder in one vertical slice with his Heat Shotels. Trowa was stabbing his Army Knife into the Aires' heads. "Five more" informed Zechs when Lady Une came in and told them that 30 more MS were coming but this time they were Leos. Trowa heard it over the video COM and concealed his army knife and took one of the Double Gatling Guns out and put on the Sniper Mode. He searched the area and saw 7-8 Leos coming towards him and shot two in the clip of the Leo's Dobergun, which took his arm off. Quatre put his Heat Shotels away and took out his Machinegun and fired at the Leos coming his way and took out 4 out of 8. Wufei charged towards the Leos and he launched a Dragon Fang at one. Then Master O came in though video COM and said "Wufei, we have added a new feature to 'Nataku', Flame Throwers" "Then you wouldn't mind if I did a test run" said Wufei which Master O laughed at and said "Why the Hell not?" Wufei turned on his Flame Throwers and shot at the Leos' clips which then blew up and took out its lower arm. Duo charged towards them and sliced a couple of the Leo's legs. Hero then saw the perfect opportunity to test out his new CGS( Cybernetic Glove System), so he took out his other sword and boosted up to the Leos and sliced their arms and heads off. Then Zechs started fighting against the Leos when two of the Leos legs blew off. He looked up and saw a white Taurus with Lucrezia Noin inside. Zechs chuckled and said "Welcome". When all the Leos were cleared up, they went to the Preventer base and celebrated their first mission on the Preventer Team. The party started with a few drinks in which they were all happy, then Noin came in and started to talk to Zechs privately. Shortly afterwards, the TV screen came on and said "Tragedy has struck with the deaths of 31 criminals on the battle that went on this day. Here is some footage of the battle" At that moment he saw when he had thrusted his sword into the Aries' shoulders and shot machine gun bullets at it. The party ended about 2:00AM and Hilde had come so she could see Duo. Heero went to bed thinking about how many people he had killed to the people he saved and the ratio weren't even close.
The next day: They had an assignment in which was located underwater. When they got there on the Tanker, they dropped to find Underwater MS which codenames where "Cancer" and "Pieces". Since Heero dropped in first he took out his beam sword and cut off a Cancer's arms and reached into the cockpit grabbed the pilot and deposited him on the Tanker, where the guards took them into cells. The battle was fierce; every time Heero destroyed a MS he would reach for the cockpit, grab the soldier, and drop him on the tanker. When Duo destroyed a Cancer, Heero immediately acted to get the soldier to safety. Duo said "Heero are you out of your mind! You have saved 7 soldiers that were mine, and 9 that you destroyed." Heero then responded softly "You remember that story on the television, where they showed me killing that Aries, well I now know what I was doing to those pilots, and now I want to save them" Heero then turned his thrusters on and went against another Pieces. Quatre then started to use his machine gun, and shot the Pieces in the head. Then one came towards him with his claws open, Quatre thinking quickly aimed at the torpedo that was ready to launch and took the shot. The bullet hit that torpedo and it blew the hand right of along with the whole arm. Heero then shot towards the soldier and saved him. After the battle was taken care of, they headed back to land. Zechs then came up to Heero and said "Heero, why did you keep coming up to surface with an enemy soldier?" Heero looked at him and said "Last night, after the news. I thought about the people I killed and the people I saved and the difference could be seen too easily" Heero left the room and went up to the tip of the boat. He looked down at the peaceful waters, and suddenly saw a whale go under the boat and breach at the surface. He was amazed by the sight that he sat down and waited. "Whales are such amazing creatures. One of these creatures can grow up to be the size of this boat" Trowa said as he walked out with a fishing pole and some bait. "Since the boat stopped because of those damn engine problems. I'm thinking of taking advantage." Trowa baited the hook and set it to fly; while he waited he took out a book and started reading it. Heero saw something out in the sea; he looked closer and saw a Cancer pointing straight at the boat. He ran towards the hanger and got into Wing ZERO. Peter, the mechanic, said to him "It does not have enough fuel, take Heavyarms we just finished with it" Hero was amazed that it would not be ready. He jumped out of Wing ZERO and started to climb into Heavyarms. He turned on the system and blasted out with a bang. He looked around and saw that the Cancer had just shot the torpedo. He aimed carefully and took his best shot. He missed and took another, this time it hit it on the turbine. He noticed that the torpedo was heading towards the rescue boat. He slammed on the booster and stood in front of the rescue boat; he then put away the Gatling guns and put on the CGS and put his hands were the torpedo was heading. He caught it and raised it and threw it towards the Cancer. It hit the Cancer and blew up sending some water all around. He landed the MS and met with Trowa. "How could you take Heavyarms out without consulting me first" Trowa said angrily. "You would have done the same if you were me" Heero responded. "What do you mean by 'you would have done the same'?" Trowa asked. "What I mean by 'I would have done the same' is that when you see a Cancer speeding towards this boat that you and the others are on," Heero chuckled, "Would you just stand there and wait, or would you just go ahead and save everyone on the boat?" "I would probably save everyone." Trowa answered. "So you go to the hangar to get one of the Gundams but the one that you pilot is not ready. Would you just say 'Oh well, better luck next time.' or would you say 'Since mine is not ready, why don't I take one of my friends'" Heero continued. Trowa thought about it for a while and said "I would probably go for the second option." Now do you understand?" asked Heero. "Yes, Yes, I do." Trowa said truthfully, as his fishing cane started to shake.
All the Gundam pilots went into the boat. They were all talking about what would happen to the Government. "Well as Bradbury wrote in Something Wicked this Way Comes, 'By the Pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes'," Trowa commented, "That thing that is wicked will be the new Government." "Gundam pilots, Gundam Pilots, answer" the walkie-talkies announced. Wufei picked his walkie-talkie from his belt, and answered "Yes, Mr. Brites?" "We are going to land in 20 minutes, so you guys should pack up." "Got it." Wufei said to Mr. Brites. Wufei turned to his teammates and said, "Hey, guys, you heard Mr. B—" Wufei was interrupted. "Mr. Birtes again, guys, sorry but you are going to have to take your Gundams with you." "How come we have to take our Gundams with us?" added Trowa. Mr. Brites explained "Well, we detected some enemy mobile suits." "We can take them out with no problem, right, guys?" Duo said braggingly. "Well, Wing Gundam Zero Custom's machine cannons aren't responding quickly enough, and one of your feet is missing a chunk, your not very stable. Gundam Deathscythe's active cloak is damaged severely. Gundam Heavyarms' right shoulder is damaged enough were a beam cannon can go through and hit the missiles, which will probably, and most likely will, blow its arm off. Gundam Sandrock is missing one of the heat shotels, and his cloak is destroyed so there is no fate. Gundam Nataku is in good shape, but one of the beam tridents in not working. So I suggest Nataku goes out first, then Wing Zero, Sandrock third, then Deathscythe and last Heavyarms. "Captain Birter, I can take care of myself! I don't need them watching over Me." argued Trowa in frustration. "Trowa, I don't want to lose you!" Trowa ran towards the hangar, opened Heavyarms cockpit and blasted out! "Wufei, Duo go and get him!" Duo and Wufei jumped over the railing. Getting in to their gundams, they launched out of the hangar. When they came out of the hangar, they saw Heavyarms being shot from the distance. A pink ray shot towards Heavyarms directly in the shoulder! An explosion followed it and Heavyarms was down on the ground with electricity all over its left arm. "Trowa!" The Gundam pilots screamed in shock. Duo went towards Trowa, turned around so the shots would hit his cloak. "Wufei get down here, and help. Trowa he's severely hurt!" Duo barked Wufei. Wufei stood there in shock of what happened. He came to his senses, and hurried towards Gundam Heavyarms. As Nataku came closer he noticed that only the cover of the left shoulder was destroyed along the right forearm. "Trowa, are you all right?" said Wufei, chuckling cheeringly. "What made you thing I was hurt?" said Trowa, groaning over the shocks of the tracer suit. "Trowa, you little sneak! You really got worried." Quatre chucked. Gundam Heavyarms got up, and buckled under the weight. Trowa ran a scan on his Gundam. The screen read: Head 97, Torso 91, Right Arm 67. Left Arm: 49, Left Leg 77 Right Leg 80. Trowa typed in "Scan Left/Right Legs" The computer demonstrated a scan. It read "Top Right leg segment 95, Right Knee 56, Lower Right Leg Segment: 87. Top Left Leg Segment 93, Left Knee 47. Lower Left Leg Segment 90. Top Right Leg segment 89, Right Knee 39, Lower Right Leg Segment 79."
Duo said, "Trowa, stay down until I've clarified that it's safe to get up" "Ok" Trowa answered.
Heero came on the communicator, "I'm going to scan the area and find out who it was that shot him" Heero launched out to look for the sniper. He took out the keyboard, and started typing, "Scan for energy exhaust". On the corner of the front screen it showed the whole landscape in front of him, it showed a green trail of the cannon shot. It lead to a place at least 8,500 meters away. He then typed, "Zoom in: MAX". The zoom wasn't enough. Heero clicked, "Default view". He put the boosters to maximum output. The "locked" icon started blinking. He reduced the output of the right booster to 30 and dodged the beam shot that was heading toward him. He looked around, but his sensors could not pick the sniper up. He looked down and he was still locked. He released a flare in front of him to blind the enemy, and then he dropped to the ground. He scanned the area, and found what he was looking for, a GM Sniper II. He hadn't seen that kind of suit anywhere. It must belong to the Guerillas Heero thought. He took out his beam saber, and blasted his thrusters to 79. He saw the GM Sniper II standing there, when it noticed Heero. It turned its beam sniper rifle towards Heero and shot once at Wing Gundam Zero's hand and it knocked the sword out his hand. He now had to rely on his machine cannons, and he pressed the buttons, but nothing happened. He knew this was the end for him, closed his eyes, and he heard a machine gun go off, and an explosion.
There was a white flash in his eyes, he was out in the open air, but he was on Wing Gundam's cockpit door. He had the self-destruct controller in his hands and pressed the button. Wing Gundam blew up.
Another white flash in his eyes, then he was in a battle, but he was in a shuttle. He saw Gundam Sandrock through the door. Lines of red started lighting up on Sandrock's armor, and then a big explosion.
Heero found himself in a familiar scene. He was in the battleship Libra, there was Zech's piloting Gundam Epyon. He put his thrusters to 95 and escaped from the exploding Libra. Heero screamed out, "NO!"
Another white flash and he was in the Wing Gundam Zero Custom on top of Mariemeia's castle, he shot his dual buster rifle. He saw the huge explosion from the fort, and then his Gundam blew up.
