New Mobile Report Gundam P
Chapter Five - Phoenix Down!
The Armada approached Gundam Phoenix with caution, as Ark was still in a rage. "Gundam Phoenix, please, disarm yourself," said a voice over the radio. "Who...is this?!" asked Ark. "I am Commander Gamow...remember? From Ganolios," said the voice. "I do not believe you! You are I.F.T.A in disguise!" Ark pointed the Buster Rifle at the Mobile Suit Gamow was in. "Now...back off!" commanded Ark. Gamow's Mobile Suit flew back to the fleet, as Ark lowered the Rifle.
"You cannot destroy the Phoenix. We've worked to hard to build it, and now that it's operational...you can't take that away from the Republic!" exclaimed Genowa. "I am sorry...if he does not get out of this...Beserker mode...then I am going to have to authorize the destruction of Phoenix," replied Prime Minister Tolle. Luca stood up. "You cannot destroy Ark! He...is our friend! And he saved YOU!" exclaimed Luca. Jon looked at Genowa, "You cannot obviously let him destroy Phoenix. It's your only real defense against them!" "Who's them...?" asked Tolle. "The traitors...I.F-" Jon was cut off by another explosion on the hull. The Najica rumbled, and everyone was thrown across to the wall parallel to them. "This has to stop!" yelled Tolle. "I'll handle this..." said Kiru.
"Phoenix...what is the status of the Buster Cannon...?" Ark asked, breathing heavily into the Command Module. "It is at 25 charge," replied the Computer. Ark slammed the keyboard. He thought of his mother and father, and began to weep in his helmet. "Incoming Transmission!" informed Phoenix. "Bring it up..." commanded Ark. "Ark! What do you think you are doing!" asked Kiru over the radio. "K...Kiru? Is that...really you?" asked Ark. "Yes...now...stop this...and come inside...everyone's here, waiting for you. Jon, and Luca...and Me. Let's go..." "Al...Alright," said Ark.
As the Phoenix finished docking, the chest opened, and Ark fell out. Just in time, Jon came and caught him. "Ark! Ark! Wake up! Are you...alright?" asked Jon. The rest of the crew came into the docking bay. "Ark!" yelled Kiru. She came over, and got down on the floor with Ark. "Are you alright?" "I...I'm fine. Are...you?" asked Ark. Kiru smiled and hugged him. "Ark Odaiba, I suppose," asked a voice. A figure came up to Ark, but he couldn't focus on it. "I am Captain Anderson, Captain of the Fifth Fleet, the Republic Armada. I have heard of-" Ark cut Anderson off, "I don't care who you are...why did you plant this Gundam in Ganolios?" interrogated Ark. "I- What? How dare..-" "Enough! Who cares who did what? We're all in this war now, and there's nothing you can do about it. Now...let's get him to the infirmary," said Genowa.
"Ark...everything...is going to be fine," said Luca. She was standing over the bed, smiling at him. "Where...where am I?" asked Ark, half-asleep. "You're in the infirmary. You took some pretty bad hits," said Jon. Jon came over to Luca, kissed her forehead, and said "It's my turn...I'll see you later." "Alright, Bye Ark," said Luca, as she went out of the door. "So..." said Ark. "What...were you thinking?" asked Jon. Ark was confused. "Why...did you attack Najica?" "I didn't...at least...I don't think I did," replied Ark. "Well...you did. And...you made Kiru come to the infirmary...although...it was nothing...that's not the point," "What is the point?" "You could've killed-" Jon was cut off by Genowa coming in. "Alright...Jon...Captain Anderson wants to see Ark. You'd better leave," Genowa said. Ark closed his eyes. "So...you're the Seraphu kid," asked Anderson. He came into the room without knocking, and Ark hated that. "Yes...I am a Seraphu." "Then...tell me why you almost destroyed your friends and my ship?" chuckled Anderson. "What...are you talking about?" "Well...Seraphu don't have outbreaks like that...they usually control their emotions." "He has not had a life of a Seraphu," replied Genowa. "Oh...well...anyways. I dont believe that you are fit to pilot the Gundam, not like this..." said Anderson. "What?! What are you talking about?!" yelled Ark. "Calm down...what do you mean? You...can't do that...you don't have the authority!" exclaimed Genowa. "Oh really...well..."
Outside, the three friends were listening from the door. "Oh my..." said Luca horrified. "This can't be..." said Kiru. "It is...The Phoenix...is Down!" said Jon
