Mobile Suit: Gundam
TERRA
UC 0089
March 15
During a battle in space, the Alliance, consisting of the forces of the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon, encounters a new threat.
The Empire has developed Mobile Suits and Mobile Armors that are armed with beam type weapons. After a fierce battle, Gundam and Char Aznable defeat the enemy forces.
Soon after, during a restless night, three youths, the pilots of the Federation Mobile Suits Gundam, Guncannon, and Guntank, have a fateful dream. They discover soon afterward that the dream was more vison than nightmare, and are deployed to defend the civillian transport Natalus, commannded by Sarah's mother.
The battle is sucsessful, and soon after, the Pyro and Dorowa land in a port city, to get supplies. The three youths are granted shoreleave until the Pyro is ready to launch, and they are sent on their way.
Meanwhile, as Sarah and Mike wander the streets with General Char along for the ride, Sean wanders into a park, and has a fateful encounter with the powerful Newtype Zeon pilot Brynhild. He discovers that she is transfering to the Pyro, and he meets Char again for the second time since arriving in the city, however, their meeting is short, and as Sean leaves t meet up with his friends, Char drifts into thought about certain......plans........
Episode 2: Battlefield: Mars
Chapter 6
The Red Comet's Revenge, Part 1
Brynhild piloted her Mobile Armor into the hangar of the Pyro, and seeing for the first time, the Gundam, up close. "Gundam........"
Char could have called his ship for a car to come and pick him up, but he liked to walk. "That pilot of the Gundam.......he seems to have some signs of being a Newtype....but I will need to keep a closer eye on him to see for certain.......he could be our greatest ally....or our greatest enemy......it all depends on how the next few days turn out...." Char said to himself.
He thought about how he had gotten to his current place in life....sometimes, life deals one bad cards....you just need to know how to play them well....Char thought. He shrugged, thinking about his true objective.....
Well....soon, the first of the Zabi's will fall......then, its only a matter of time from there....
Degwin is my final objective......I will deal with Garma first though....it will shake them up a bit, show them they are not invincible.......Gihren will be tricky....he is a brilliant strategest....I will just have to figure out how to deal with him when the time comes....Kycilia will be quite dificult, she's sly....Dozle.....hm....he is loyal, but dangerous....anyway.....time to put my plan into motion....
Char straightened his red uniform and continued to walk to his ship, planning his revenge on the Zabi's for killing his father.
Char chuckled darkly, reveling in the feeling of power his plan gave him, the dark sensation of the ability to destroy and ruin at will.......
In another part of the city, Sean shuddered suddenly, feeling a chill wave of sickness wash over him. He stumbled for a moment, then recovered, but was left to wonder what had caused it...."Maybe it was that hotdog from that street vendor?" he asked himself, popping an antiacid in his mouth.
On the Imperial Flagship Iron Fist......
"Hm....he is falling to the darkness....soon, Master...I shall be able to forge him into the blade we shall drive into our enemies." A sinister, black-color armored man said, to a figure above him, a large, holographic head. "Be sure that you can....I do not tolorate failer...not even from my own aprentice. On other matters....how have you been doing, as far as the new weapons are concerned.....do you think it would be wise to procede to massproduce them for use against the Rebellion?" the sinister head asked, already knowing what he himself was going to do, but curious to know what his aprentice thought, on the matter.
"If it were up to me...." the armored man said, continuing, "I would wait to see if we can crush the enemies here first with them, before massproducing them elsewhere." he finished.
"Hm......have you been looking into my mind again? What have I told you about that!?" the sinister head asked, angry. "I have not....it is my opinion on the matter." the armored man said in reply.
"........very well.......we will wait to see if the mobile suits ontinue to be effective in this sector, before massproducing them. Give me regular reports, and keep me updated on the.....project." the sinister head ordered, before vanishing. The armored man rose from his kneeling pose, and stalked out of the communications room and into the bridge itself. "General Halzen, bring the ship toward our Mobile Suit Production Facility, so I can pick up my new Mobile Suit, and so we can aquire the new model units." the Armored man said to Halzen.
"Yes, my lord." Halzen said, ordering the helmsmen to set course for the MS production facility orbiting Jupiter.
Chapter 7
Destruction
"Gundam, Brynhild, launch as soon as you can." Captain Spaz ordered.
"Roger that, Gundam....launching!"
"Got it, Zakuro launching!"
Spaz looked away from the two moniters displaying the pilots of Gundam and Zakuro, and toward the display showing the pilot of Guntank, the Mobile Suit currently latched onto the front of Pyro to act as additional fire.
"Guntank, get ready to engage." Spaz ordered.
"You got it."
She turned to the gunnery crews.
"Prepare to open fire on the enemy Mobile Weapons."
"Helmsman, bring us closer to the enemy units, and put us between them and the city." Spaz ordered.
The ship began to possision itself in the ordered manner when Gundam and Zakuro deployed from the left launch bay. They had never been able to get the right sides doors to open, and the repair crews could never figure it out either. There was also the situation of that they could never get any reading of what was in there, and all entry doors leading into it were sealed somehow in a way that prevented them from opening the doors.
Spaz could see five AT-AT High Grade Types (AT-AT-HGT) approaching the city.
"Brynhild, can you go at them from the air, and I will attack at ground level?" Gundam asked over the com line.
"Sure thing Gundam. Pyro, I am making my attack run now." Brynhild said.
"Roger."
Spaz watched as the Zakuro hurled itself at a hapless AT-AT-HGT and ripped it open with one massive clawed arm.
She saw another fall apart, split in half and both halfs falling away from eachother, Gundam was visible beyond it, and it was blocking the heavy blaster cannons, the equivilent strength of a Zeon Anti-Orbital strength Mega Particle Cannon, of another AT-AT-HGT.
Gundam fell over, knocked down by the force of the hit, and the shield was destroyed. Spaz rolled her eyes subtley. "Thats gonna be costly to replace.....at least he seems alright." she said as Gundam Rose, and grabbed the head of the AT-AT-HGT in both hands and ripped it off. Gundam then dropped it and kicked the rest of the now headless Mobile Weapon on its side. Gundam looked down at the head, and just after the last Imperial escaped, Gundam stepped on the head, crushing it. "That is what happens to those who mess with Gundam." Sean said over the broadcast channel. Gundam saw an AT-ST and grabbed it, throwing it aside. It boosted right at another AT-AT-HGT and boosted right over it, landing on the other side and turning to see it fall apart in two halves, both dropping to the ground hard. Gundam's beam saber shorted for some reason, so Sean put it away and got out the beam rifle.
"Gundam, ten enemy mobile suits approaching from the southeast." Brynhild warned, already harrasing half of them with her MA's funnels, the small attack units swarming around and sniping at the enemy MSs from everywhere.
"Hm......Roger that............." Gundam said.
Sean felt....odd. "Whats.....this sensation?"
Brynhild felt it too. "What is this...?"
A bright yellow mobile suit of Imperial design, with black stripes on it, rose from over a mountain.
"So.....its the white one, and the Zeon Mobile Armor." the pilot of the yellow MS said. "Captain Halliberton, the MS team is under fire from the remote weapons of the Zeon unit, shall I bring the ship in to attack?"
"No, stay where you are. I will deal with it alone." Halliberton said.
He boosted right at the white Mobile Suit.
"Outdated Mobile Suits are no match for the might of the Empire! Die, by the hands of the mighty EMS-01/B Destructor 2, the newest version of the Destructor Suits you have been ruining so far, vile scum....DIIIEE!!!!!" Halliberton bellowed at Gundam, as it cut into Gundam with a metal blade that seemed to be able to go through most mateirials by vibrating the blade with sonic waves.
"Gah!" Sean exclaimed as the metal blade, which whined something fierce, passed right over his head......and his own head, not the head of Gundam. The main moniter was out, the lines leadint to it from the cameras inside the head of Gundam were cut.
"Blast it." Sean said. Somehow he could....see...the Destructor 2. He saw it had another blade, holding it as if to stab, and about to stab it right where the cockpit of Gundam was.
The strange thing was, he could see this from inside the enemy unit, as if seeing through the pilot's eyes.
".....how can this be...?" he said, as he moved Gundam away, but not out of line of sight of the enemy pilot, and himself. "How did you-UGAH!" Halliberton exclaimed as Gundam grabbed the head of the Destructor 2 and squeezed hard, ruining it, then shoving it away from itself.
"White Mobile Suit.....right now.....your entire fight here has been a waste.....we already had the city rigged to detonate when ever we wanted it to....this battle was just set up to trap you here.....you shall soon see any lost friends and family, pilot of the white Mobile Suit. As for me....Ive gotta go, see ya in hell........HA HA HA HA HA H-" Sean cut Halliberton off, by grabbing the Destructor 2 and falling backwards. "Brynhild, Pyro, GET OUT OF HERE! NOW! THE CITY IS RIGGED TO BLOW UP!" Sean warned them.
He had a bad feeling about what was to come.
"Gundam, get back to the ship!" Spaz ordered, as the Zakuro returned to the ship, right ahead of a white hot beam of destruction that hammered into the ground right where Gundam was. "I had no time to return.....Just....stay alive...all of you." Sean said to them before the com system shorted out from the heat, sparing him from the sounds of an angry man who had been betrayed by his own subordinates, who were more than ready to replace the hated Captain Halliberton of the Empire with someone else.
The Destructor 2 soon melted into nothing, the metals it was made of evaporating in the extreme heat. Gundam began to dissolve as well.
Sean could see the white light of death through the metal walls of the cockpit of the dying Gundam.
The beam tore into the small room.
"NO!" Sarah and Mike exclaimed simultaniously. Brynhild could not even say anything.
Captain Spaz watched as the shilouet of the Gundam began to disolve from the beam.
"Sean....." Spaz said.
"Captain! The city...its...." one of the officers said. Spaz looked away and saw the city explode.
"We....failed...."
"I'm sorry, but I did not know of the bombs, until they exploded." General Aznable said over the com line.
"Whats happeneing with that beam? Did your ship take any damage from it?" Char asked.
"No........but...." Spaz said, relaying the data from their own cameras and senors to Chars ship, Dorowa.
"Gundam is in there?!" Char exclaimed.
Spaz turned toward the sight of the beam, with what was left of Gundam pinned down by it.
It exploded.
The beam faded into nothing, leaving a massive, deep crater in the ground, where it had burned into the planet. "We...will have to find where it came from, then destroy it." Spaz said calmly to the crew. "We cannot let his fight be in vain, he was one of the ones that spearheaded our last offencive against them. We will live on, and defeat the Empire, and we will do it for his honor. All hands, salute." Captain Spaz said over the ship's intercom.
Char appeared on the main viewer. "We will assist you in finding the source of that attack, and in destroying it. I will do it personally, if I must." he said to them.
"Roger that, General. I need to contact Jabruo about this turn of events, they will probably want us to go there for a refit and resupply. Why don't you come with us?" Spaz said. "Alright, I will come with you." Char replyed.
Chapter 8
Arrival in Jaburo
The ships Pyro and Dorowa, after a long and arduous flight in space, fending off an Imerial detachment the entire time, fiannly arrived on Earth and approached the airspace around Jaburo, South America.
The doors leading to two ship docks opened, the trees planted on them moving with the doors.
"So...thats Jaburo.....I have this wierd feeling that I've been here before.....odd, anyway....prepare the ship for landing." Char ordered.
"Hm.......I wonder if the rumors as true, that they have a Newtype pilot that is to transfer to our ship, in another Gundam unit.....prepare this ship for docking." Captain Spaz ordered.
The ships landed, docking clamps extended to hold the ships in place, and Worker GMs, the mass-production units based off of the Gundam and modified in this case for labor, were carrying pallets with various crates on them, while Guncannon MP units looked on, some of them watching the Zeon ship land.
In another part of the base, a young man watched the Zeon ship land. "Hm....I never thought I would ever see one of those land in Jaburo....and there is my new assignment....the Pyro. Nice ship, a bit beat up, but I guess these days, that happens." the young man said. "Luetenant Amuro Ray, please report to the Mobile Suit hangar at once." a voice said over the intercom for that room.
"I guess its time." he said, and departed the lounge, heading for the hangar.
In the hangar....
"Its time kid, you ready?" Luetenant Sleggar Law said to Amuro, holding some papers. "I got our transfer papers already signed for us, so we have our orders. We are to head to the ship, Pyro, and land our units there, then.....? Thats it? Hmph.....oh well, I guess they just want us to mingle with the crew on Amuro, lets say hi." Sleggar said, handing Amuro his transfer papers and orders before leaping into his fighters cockpit. "Hm....I guess its time, Gundam." Amuro said as he looked at his Mobile Suit, the RX-78-NT-1 Gundam NT-1.
"Commander of the Federation ship Pyro, we are requesting permission to come aboard." Sleggar said into the com. The voice of a woman replyed.
"This is Captain Jennifer Spazintine of the Pyro, permission denied....."
"What!? We have our transfer papers right he-" Sleggar began to say before Captain Spaz said, "Just kidding...permission granted, please come aboard."
Amuro laughted in his cockpit. "What!? Whats so funny?" Sleggar asked. "Nothing.....heh." Amuro said in reply. The left deployment bay doors opened in the Pyro, admitting them inside. Amuro saw a space that had been designated for the Gundam....the RX-78-2 Gundam, the one that had been the deciding factor at the Battle of Endymion.
It was empty. "Hm....what happened to the old Gundam?" Amuro thought aloud. "I heard that it was destroyed on Mars, and the pilot died with his Suit." Sleggar said. "....I see."
"Mr. Ray....please park your Gundam in bay one." the operator said monotomnously, like he was trying to keep his emotions in check by suppressing them. It must have been hard, to lose a friend, and then have some new guy come and take his parking space.....Amuro thought, noting that Bay One was the empty place where the old Gundam once stood proudly.
"Roger that. Docking in Bay One." Amuro announced, pulling his Gundam backwards into the docking bay, and letting the restraints to hold the Suit in place clamp around it.
Chapter 9
Survival
Seam awoke, finding himself about a good half mile from the crater his Gundam had been destroyed in, and almost been his own place of doom.....almost.
He climbed out of the wreckage of the Core Fighter, of which he had used to shield himself from the beam, seeking shelter behind it, in the narow space between the core block it converted into to the fit in the Gundam, and the inner frame of Gundam. "Dang......How long has it been, since I got almost melted, then blown up?" Sean asked himself as he watched the sun rise to the east, above a ticked off looking sandstorm, coming his way.
"Hmph.....out of the frying pan and into the fire, then out of that and into the sandblaster......I just have the greatest luck in the bloody world, don't I?" Sean said to himself, glad his helmet was intact as the winds began o pick up around him and blow sand at him. "HEY! OVER HERE! GET OVER HERE NOW!" someone yelled into the broadcast com that his helmets speakers played loudly into his ears. He looked around stupidly for a second, then found an ATV with a man in a Zeon uniform that was purple and blue/grey, with a menacing helmet that had the front upper panel come to a point just over the visor. Sean ran to the ATV and lept aboard.
"Thanks for the ride!" Sean said. "No problem, but hang on because I am going to floor it now." the man said. Sean regonized the voice as the man he fought alongside during the Batle of Solomon, where this man had earned the nickname, The Nightmare of Solomon, by destroying every Imperial ship he came across, in defence of Solomon. Sean had fought along side of him and had liked him, for he stood by his convictions no matter what. "Gato...."
"Hm? What is it?" Anavel Gato asked.
"Nothing......remember when you fought along side Gundam during the Battle of Solomon? Remember what the pilot really looked like?" Sean asked as Gato brought the ATV around behind a tall oblisk of stone to shelter them for a moment. Gato looked at him and said "Yes...I remember him well."
Sean removed his helmet. "Is it really-?" Gato began to ask, startled as he had heard that Gundam had been destroyed before, along with the city that Gato had come to look for survivors in. "Yes.....its me. Long time no see, my friend." Sean said to him, as he put his helmet back on. "Lets get moving, I assume you have some kind of trannsport other than this, nearby." Sean said, gesturing to the ATV. "Yes, we came looking for survivors. We found a few, which is good. I am glad I decided to check out the wreckage of the object you were in, was that your Core Fighter?" Gato asked. "Yes.....it was....." Sean said in reply.
"Sean....we are trying to make a new model Mobile Suit......do you think that we could salvage the parts of Gundam to make it?" Gato asked. "Sure...lets wait till the storm fades first though, heh." Sean said.
Chapter 10
Tragedy of White, Red and Black
"Ray, Law, get to your units, launch as soon as you can!" Spaz ordered them.
"Roger!" they both said, before rushing to the hangar, and their units.
It had been only a week, and already the divition of Imperials that had trailed the Pyro managed to get within attack range of Jaburo.
The Imperials had landed with new model Mobile Suits designed for jungle warfare, and Mobile Suits designed for aquatic combat, and used them to carry out the first wave of the attack, the second was now begining.....the raid with the rest of the main attack forces, consisting of their Destructor 2 units and a new unit designed for rapid attack, the Imps equivalent of the Zeon Dom Suit.....the Razer.
The Aliance forces suffered heavy losses at the start of the battle, as it had been completely unknown to the Alliance, that the Imperials would attempt such a bold manuever.
The Imperial forces were led by a mysterious pilot, with menacing armor, and an evil aura, not to mention being very tall, and wearing a cape that trailed behind like a foul serpent.
His Mobile Suit was jet black, and shiny like his own armor.It held no ranged weapons, and only used a red bladed Beam Saber, similar to Gundam's own weapon, but with less of a floppy blade (the blade of Gundam had a tendancy to bend slightly as it was swung, the new weapon the enemy used was rigid and held its form, even against reflective armors)
"Follow me in, and maintain a constant rate of supression fire, to hold them down." the enemy commander said to his subordinates, with a distorted, sinister voice. His Destructor 2 moved forward.
"Another one down!" Amuro said, as a Destructor 2 fell to his Beam Rifle. "Nice kill, Ray, watch your butt though, I hear from the radio chatter that there is a black D2 that is ripping our defence forces at point B a new one......I had better get over there, the enemy forces have thinned enough here that the main line can hpold them back, and the black unit seems to be leading some sort of push, so lets get over there." Sleggar Law said.
"Roger that, lead the way." Amuro said.
The NT-1 Gundam followed Law's Core Fighter, covering it from enemy fire with its own fire.
"So, the Gundam....."
A red beam blalde sliced into Amuro's line of sight almost before he could stop NT-1 Gundam.
"Who the blazes are you!?" Amuro said in surprise.
"Thats the guy! Amuro, I'll cover you!" Sleggar said.
Amuro wasted no time to talk, he drew his Beam Saber, and let himself go. He had been discovered to be a Newtype, years ago. Now, with practice, he was an Ace Pilot. He trusted the instincts that showed him the right way, and even now, his Newtype senses were barely keeping up with this guy.
"Dang! Look at them go...." Sleggar said to himself as he made another strafing run at the black Suit.
"Gundam....I have been waiting to fight you." the pilot said in a mechanical voice, one filled with dark intentions.
"No time to waste, talking to you!" Amuro snapped at the pilot.
"Fine then, perhaps this will show you that you should not talk to people like that." the pilot said, before Amuro had trouble breathing. He grasped at the collar of his flight suit, and could not seem to pull away what ever was choking him. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!" Sleggar roared, hammering the black D2 Suit with beams. The black Suit swayed a moment, and Amuro could breath again, "th-thanks....Law..." Amuro panted out, already swinging NT-1's beam saber.
The blade was blocked by the black Suit's own beam saber.
"Foolish, trying that......I will destroy you, but later. General. Raze Jaburo." The enemy pilot said, clearly in charge of this operation.
"Enemy ship preparing to bombard the base, all units, retreat NOW!" General Revil ordered.
"Ray, Law, get to the ship, NOW!" Spaz told them.
"Roger, returning."
The NT-1 Gundam and Law's Core Fighter boarded the Pyro, as it flew over them, surrounded by elscaping Federation and Zeon ships. "Where is General Aznable?" Amuro asked, before turning Gundam around on instinct.
He saw Char fighting the black Suit, as emerald beams of destruction rained down around them both.
"What the heck is he DOING!?"
"Red Comet, right?" the armored man asked Char.
"Yeah, thats it. DIE!" Char said, then yelled, as he shot every missle he had at the black D2 Suit.
"Impressive.....most impressive, but not enough." The armoed man said, dodgng the missles, fired point blank impossibly, and then running his crimson blade into the core of Char's Suit.....
"Now...you die."
Char's Suit fell on its side, badly damaged.
"GENERAL!" Amuro exclaimed, as NT-1 Gundam lept from the Hangar, and right infront of the downed Red Comet. "I will destroy you if you even think of getting any closer!" Amuro warned.
"get out of my way." the pilot said, Amuro finding his Gundam flying backward as if shoved hard. Emerald beams rained down around him as he fell to the ground.".....ugh....what the heck was THAT!?" Amuro asked in shock.
"Only a small portion of the power of the dark side." the pilot said. "Whats this 'dark side' your talking about?"
"Something that you cannot defeat with mere weapons alone." the pilot told him, before grinding Gundam into the burning ground, with a wave of the D2's hand.
"Gundam.........can you feel the darkness closing around you? It is calling to you, it wants to help you....but you have to let it." the pilot said.
"Shut it! Stop talking all freaky like that! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Amuro said, as he pushed back with his mind, and caused the enemy to fall back a bit.
"hm.." the enemy said.
"YEah...didnt like that!" Amuro said, as he rushed at the enemy, ramming it, right into the ground.
Amuro got up quickly and kicked a tree down ontop of the enemy Suit, to delay it, as he grabbed Char up as he was climbing out of the wreck of his Suit, just before an emerald beam ripped into the Suit, right where Char HAD ben moments ago.
"Thanks, Gundam." Char said to Amuro.
NT-1 Gundam lept up into the open hangar of the Pyro.
"Don't do that again, or I will have to-General Aznable!" Captain Spaz began to say before seeing Char climb up from the hand of NT-1 Gundam and onto one of the catwalks.
He turned and saluted to Spaz, she returned it. "Nice to see you again, Captain." Char said. "Dorowa?" Char asked. "Intact, and waiting for you in Guatamala base, with the rest of the fleet." Spaz said to Char.
Spaz watched as the others walked out of the hangar, into the ship itself.
She looked at Bay One, where Sean's Gundam once stood.
"Sean.....I wish you were here now.....I wish you could see how much Sarah, and the rest of us, misses you." Spaz said.
She looked at the setting sun, red over the burning fires of the remains of Jaburo.
"If things keep going as they are, we might lose this war....Sean......I wish you were here now....you predicted this might happen, the fall of Jaburo.....how tragically right you were......"
