Hey there! Here we are, chapter number six and the first look at the new Gundams. I had a little trouble with this chapter because I didn't want anything to seem redundant about these with the previous Gundams, however, I did incorporate features of both series and EW suits, plus a little modifications of my own. Hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: Gundam Wing, not mine. Sailor Moon not mine, either. Tre Young/Sailor Universe and Pyrone Reigns are mine however.
Chapter 6 - The Neo Gundams
Doctor X motioned for Tre to follow him to a blank wall screen. The screen glowed to life, showing first a redesigned Wing Zero in bird mode. If you could imagine the FX-1682, crossed with the Neo Bird Mode of the former Wing Zero, which is what the new Wing looked like in bird mode. In Gundam mode, it looked the same as Wing Zero however, it had both the variable geometry wings of the Wing Gundam and the rocket pods of the Wing Zero. The legs of this new Zero had the same look as DreadScythe's boots, but looked as though it was wearing a loose pair of white pants and the boots were silver. The torso still had the large emerald hemisphere in the center of its blue chest, but the chest was flatter than that of the Wing Gundam or Wing Zero, more human like. The head had a helmet in gray but this helmet had the flares of the previous Zero coming to a sharper point. The crest came from the back of the helmet and rose toward the front with the camera housing inside and behind the green window. It still had beam sabers stowed in the shoulder guards and the shield (same as before, only now it is blue background with a silver canopy where the yellow canopy was), and the Buster rifle is still double-barreled, but one barrel is twice as powerful as the twin Buster rifle of the previous Zero, making the whole cannon four times more powerful than its predecessor.
The Neo Deathscythe Hell looked better as well. Redesigning the fold over wings into more of a cape provided more protection for all of the Gundam, instead of just the torso. When opened, the cape turned into fearsome demon wings, which can fold like bird's wings and flap-thrust capability (like the Zero in EW). The shoulder guards were smaller this time but had better thrusters within. The torso looked the same, except for a new paint job (silver ribs instead of gold), the head had the helmet of the first Deathscythe and the overall look too, however the goatee was painted black instead of red. The legs were gray pants until the black boots started at mid-shin. The backpack of this Gundam remained the same as always, no changes there. The new scythe was twin-bladed, but instead of one scythe, there were two on this new model crisscrossing the back of this Gundam. Finally, being only a close-range Gundam was no more, for the Neo Deathscythe Hell had a pair of enlarged Uzi's, one in holsters on each thigh.
The Neo Heavyarms was a sight to behold (a lot like the Heavyarms in EW, but better). Besides the fact that this Gundam had twin Gatlings on each arm, there were four chest Gatlings. The Gatlings on the arms could be removed and stashed on the Gundam's back because the new Heavyarms had arm blades just like the DreadScythe did, only they would be blue blades. The legs had dark blue boots up to (guess where?) mid-shin where it then went dark gray pants. The missile packs on the legs were twenty percent larger in capacity, as the shoulder packs were fifty percent larger in capacity, meaning more missiles. The backpack and head were pretty much the same as the Heavyarms CUSTOM suit, no change there.
The Neo Sandrock had the same paint job as before, but the sickles it carried were the same as the Sandrock CUSTOM carried. The crest on its helmet had a pushed back, spiky look. The shoulder guards were larger and more elaborate with numerous thinner slabs ending in points. The macro missiles were still there, but there would be a rack underneath the launcher with five missile per rack. The face on Sandrock had a cold gray shade, and a blood colored goatee. The shield had a sleek cobra hood look. The legs were a pale purple pants with the black boots. Finally, the Sandrock had twin machine guns (like the one it had in the series) placed in holsters on its thighs (like the new Deathscythe) and Quatre would have the option of having the Sandrock wear a protective cloak (again, EW's Sandrock CUSTOM).
Finally, the Neo Altron. This Gundam was mostly black and orange. The torso was painted in black the door painted a fire orange. The Gundam's head was in what looked like the black head of a dragon. The faceplate had light gray claw marks going diagonally across its dark gray face (on purpose). The teeth popped up every two feet, one part of the jaw on each side of the Gundams head, and the eyes of the dragon helmet were extra cameras, glowing green like the Gundam's regular eyes. The nose on the helmet came out ever so slightly between the eyes of the Gundam and the horns protruded from the back (the horns resembled the horns of Draco the dragon in DragonHeart). The goatee was painted a deep forest green color. The shoulder guards were black and the extensions to the arms were a deep orange in color. Tre then saw the Dragon Fang on each of the Gundam's arms. They almost looked like real dragonheads (think Draco again, with a longer and narrower snout). When folded against the arms, they looked like black wristbands on the Gundam, but when deployed for attack they looked as fearsome as the real thing. Glowing green eyes set into a black head with pointed golden fangs from the top and bottom jaws and golden horns pointing from the back of the head. This new Gundam could stretch its arms within 360 feet each. The wings on the back were separate like the previous Altron had. Only these wings were like real wings. Dragon wings the color of fire, these could unfold to strike fear into the enemy like Nataku should do. The stinger tailgun was in the same place, but it was forest green and had four barrels in a diamond formation instead of two side-by-side. Also, the new beam weapons were a combination trident and glaive, one end for each weapon and a pair of beam katanas. The hilts, when the blades weren't extended, were in sheaths and held by magnets. Then, the charcoal gray pant legs of Neo Altron ended in black boots with fiery orange streaks on them.
"You did a great job on these Gundams' reconstruction," Tre said.
He stood in awe of what one scientist envisioned on five other scientists' work. The new Gundams were magnificent, to say the least. They were unbelievable!
'I can't wait to see these in battle,' Tre thought. He then turned to the older man and said,
"What about the seventh hold, what is, or will be, in it?"
The scientist laughed, it was a comforting belly laugh. "Whar have yeh bin?"
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Dun't yeh remember? Yer friend, Pyrone Reigns, had the Backlash."
"Yeah," Tre said, monotone. "Now I do."
"The scientist who built his Gundam didn't send me any data on the Backlash."
"I understand."
The scientist smiled, then a sudden change in mood occurred.
"Well, off with yeh, gut teh find the othur pilots now," he said laughing.
He ushered Tre to the doorway, where Tre put his helmet back on. Tre closed the visor then stepped into the airlock. With a loud whoosh, the pressurized air escaped the room. Tre turned the helmet lights on and headed back to his Gundam.
He had to load it in the most easily accessible empty hold. The DreadScythe walked on the right side of the shuttle, opened the highest hold on the right. It was empty, so Tre thrusted very easily to maneuver the large machine into the hold. As soon as DreadScythe was settled in, the large doors closed on the hold. Tre opened the cockpit door and saw a door just above DreadScythe's right shoulder. He opened the door, which opened to a catwalk. The seven doors to the holds were on each side of a heptagonal corridor. Tre leapt toward the flight deck.
He sat in the left seat, the pilot's seat. He then brought this mammoth shuttle to life. The control switches all lit up and one by one, the computer screens came online. He brought the straps about himself and snapped each into the buckle resting on his navel. Then, he tightened the straps. 'Time to get this show out to space,' Tre thought to himself. 'I just hope those former pilots are willing to come and help us.'
"Tre," Doctor X's face came on a small viewscreen situated in the middle of the two main windows.
"What now?" Tre said calmly. He was flipping the main engine start-up switches.
"The catapult is ready to launch when you are," the scientist said.
"Good," Tre said. "Get ready to launch in fifteen seconds."
"Aye!"
"T-minus 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...LET 'ER RIP!"
The combined force of the catapult and the main engines thrust power was incredible! The catapult shot through the open doorway and into trouble.
The British Serpents and Virgos were firing relentlessly on the shuttle. Tre shut down shuttle life support. He didn't want to blow up this early in the game. The fire still came, but every single round missed. The shuttle shot off the small ski slope of a ramp and into space. The colony seemed nothing more than a toy at the moment but it kept getting smaller, smaller, smaller, until it was a speck of metal.
Tre quickly did a preliminary status check on the shuttle for damage; the shuttle came out intact. All systems showed green, in perfect working order, and a partridge in a pear tree. Tre then set the autopilot for the L1 colony cluster. Heero Yuy was the first of the Gundam pilots to be reached, according to the mission. Tre floated to his quarters at the end of the shuttle, wrapped himself up in a sleeping bag attached to the wall, and went to sleep.
Okay, now he's safe and sound with the new Gundams. So, where's he going to go? Who will he find? The next few chapters will include all the characters we know and love (maybe have a crush on, because I know you girls just LOVE Duo).
