Chapter two:

Zako

"Zzz …zako…Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz."

"Zako. …Zakooo.ZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZako!"

"Zakoo, Zako Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Zako…zzzzzz…. Zako!!"

Huh?

"Zzz …zako zako"

Err…Whaaaa?

"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zako Zako zako zako zako. "

Oh no… not this again.

"Zako zako Zzzzzzz…."

"Zako, zako zako zako zako zako zako; zako zako zako… zako zako zako zako Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…"

"Zako zako zak Zzzz"

"Zako zako"

" Zako zako Zzzzzzz….. zako zako"

" ZZako zako Zzzzzzzzz…"
" Zako zako zako"

" Zako!"

SHUT! UP!

"…"

"…"

"…"

Ahhhhhhhh….

"Zako zako Zzzzzzz…."

Damn, how's a gundam 'posed to get his beauty sleep with all these little creeps going 'zako zako' all night, huh? It's bad enough that there were too many of those things for the prison cells but really, puttin' them near my room?! God, I hate this. And you know what, I can still hear Chief Haro earlier this day:

"Due the limited amount of space and the seemingly unlimited amount of zakos, I have arranged most them to put the holding cells. Since we have two hundred and three prisoners of war in our custody, and since our prisons can hold only a hundred prisoners… I have arranged for the Gundamusai to be made into a makeshift pris---"

--That Gundamusai, I swear that thing's been trouble ever since we started working on it. Any way, back to Haro:

"Yet, due to our staff working on the Gundamusai (which is a lot) it can only hold a hundred captives also. So these three little riff raffs will be your responsibility."

---Damn, at least I have a reason when I insult them. Hmmm… is it me or was Chief Haro in a foul mood yesterday. Anyway…

"But sir..."

"Guneagle, be glad that you do not have to watch over the three generals, with being said, I bid you good day."

"But sir…"

"Good. Day."

I think one of the zakos said it best:

"Jerk. Zako zako."

Yep that's how I felt about Haro that day. I wasn't even going to ask him about that; all I wanted to know was what time it was. You see during that huge fight with the commander and his minions my eternal clock got damaged. I had to go for weeks asking what time it was because all the base's technicians were working on the Gundamusai but it's fixed now so let's see… 12:30am?! Well it seems they've stopped…. Good, now I can sleep. Guneagle commence shut down in: Five…

Four…

Three…

Two…

"Zako!"

Damn it, I'm sleeping on one the launch pads. So while using my wings as a carrying case, I grab my pillow, a blanket and a picture of Julie I ha—err, I mean I stol—no, what's a better word for hacked off the S.D.G.F database? Ah forget it; I'm tired and I can't think straight. Sneaking out was pretty easy, I've done this for the past two days and it's a great place to sleep. When it not raining that is. You see, all I have to do is stroll down the long hallway to the launch deck because they don't monitor us when we're off duty. As I go I see the three snoring zakos in the tiny cage I had someone built for them and… they barely fit. Good…that's what they get for zakoing up my evening.

"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…zako."

"Shuddap."

So I'm walking out to the deck and I'm just about to go outside when I notice two gundams had gotten there before me. The first gundam, a gundiver, was crouching on the deck of the base spying on the second gundam standing on the second launcher, which was gonna be my bed for tonight. And it was Captain! What was he doing out so late? So I drop all the stuff I was carrying and carefully I sneak up to the gundiver and say:

"Dude, what's Capt—"

"Shhhhh! Sir!"

"Hey now I---"

"Quiet or he'll hear us!" The gundiver who I will now only identify as #4 (because "I'm tired) whispered before continuing, "He's been like this all night. That meeting with Haro must ave turned really so--"

"Okay two things; first off #4, what meeting and secondly didn't your momma, Kao Lyn, teach you not to spy on people?"

"I was not spying—"

"Yes you were."

"Well actually no I was not but anyway, remember when you accidentally got blasted across the city," he said while grabbing my arm and making me crouch too.

"Yeah…" Yes I most certainly do. As I looked at Captain I noticed that he was smart enough to stand at the very end of the launch pad. Last night I got lazy and laid down in the middle. Well, next ting I know FWOOSH!!! I 'm going at least tree hundred miles per hour! "I bet those damn Zakos were behind it"

"Any way while you were gone Haro blasted Captain out for making low scores on his exams"

"Definitely spying on people. You got a problem you know don't ya?"

"I was not spying! I was doing then what I was doing now; getting coffee."

"At 12:42 in the morning?! Right…."

"Grr.."

"Alright, I'll be nice"

"As I was saying Chief Haro scheduled him for a full system check."

"Aw dude, harsh!" I remember getting one of those. I had stored thousands of my favorite MP3 's in my hard drive and I guess that's what was slowing me down because after they finished they were gone. Thousands of songs erased just like that. I mean at least downloaded them to CDs. Sheesh. "I wonder what's slowing Captain down?"

"Who.. Is.. Out.. There?! Reveal.. Yourselves!"

"Uh oh, I think he heard us. Come on #4 may be we can help hi---." Man his slow down is pretty bad. Heh, We go through that entire conversation and he hears me at the end. Wonderful.

"--No way! I not going out there! You see I, um… have a stuttering problem when it comes to authority."

"Nonsense" I say as I reached for his arm. To my surprise he suddenly moved out of the way. He is a wily one; that # 4! "I never see you stutter around me Captain or Haro."

"That's because I have my six other brothers to back me up and you said I was a spy. But here I am, alone. I'll be a stuttering wreck before the Captain."

"Reveal.. Yourselves.. Now."

"Now, Now, #4 he knows there's two of us and he isn't that bad a guy, so…" I started as I grab #4 by the waist, "let's" I hoist him over my shoulder, and "Go!" carry him over my back again using my wings as a carrying support. And as I carry an insanely shy, spy gundam, I can't help but feel that this isn't gonna be a normal day.

To be continued.
