SRW G1.2: MUTEKI NO KYOUJIN (THE INVINCIBLE GIANT)
Author's note: I've been told that writing in romanji then translating is pretty stupid so I will take out all the romanji and do just English dialogue… though I'm wondering what to do with the attacks…
Akira stood there. He looked up in awe of the hangar of the Pegasus-class battleship. Akira took off his helmet and noticed a tall male with black hair, followed by two women, one blonde and one black haired. Akira could see the male was the leader of the group.
"Corporal Yamada, reporting for duty sir." Akira immediately gave a salute.
The male returned the salute. "Lieutenant Bright of the Pegasus-class battleship White Base. Welcome aboard Corporal."
'Lieutenant? In-charge of a prototype battleship?' Thought Akira.
"Mass, Sayla. Welcome aboard." Akira turned to the pretty blonde that spoke to him. She had the same voice as the woman who talked to him earlier in battle.
"Hi… thanks a lot." He then extended his hand to give her a handshake. Which she returned immediately.
"Sayla is in-charge of our communications." Explained Bright. "She was the voice you heard earlier." Akira smiled internally.
"Yashima Mirai." The other woman spoke and extended out her own hand. Akira firmly shook it. "I'm the pilot of White Base." She said, before Bright could open his mouth.
"Amazing…" Akira then turned to look at the two Mobile Suits that had just finished docking in the hangar bay.
"Earth Federation Mobile Suits… I heard rumours but I never thought I would actually see them." Akira said to Bright who had walked next to him by that time.
"The Gundam and Guncannon." Bright then pointed to another Mobile Suit, yet not quite thing behind the Guncannon. "And that is the Guntank. All part of Project V."
It was then that three young men walked up to Bright. "And here come their pilots." Akira could see the height difference in the group. "Pilot of Guntank, Kobayashi, Hayato." Hayato nodded to Akira who returned the favour. "Shiden Kai, pilot of Guncannon."
Kai walked over to Akira and shook his hand. "So, you are the pilot Amuro had to save eh?" A 'cough' from Bright made Kai back off.
"And finally, Gundam's pilot, Amuro Rei." Akira turned to look at the brown haired youngster but Amuro seemed to advert from his gaze. Akira just made a 'hmrph' sound and turned to Bright.
"What is the situation with my unit Lieutenant Bright?"
Bright looked at him and smiled, "Your unit made it to the main fleet. You will be posted to us for the time being. We are heading to Jaburo." Akira just looked on…
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Lieutenant Azable, we have confirmed that the Trojan Horse has neared Earth's orbit."
The white mask individual stood up and walked to the radar controller. "How long before it prepares to enter orbit?" He looked at the information that displayed on the screen.
"Another 22 minutes." Replied the controller.
A man behind Char immediately stood at attention and spoke, "What is your command?"
Char turned back slowly with a smile and spoke, "Did you really have to ask?" Then, he dramatically swung his arm across, pushing his cape to his back and shouted, "All hands! Prepare to attack the Trojan Horse! We must not fail this time!"
"Roger!" shouted everyone on the bridge.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ten minutes to re-entry Bright." Said Mirai as she alternated between looking at her instruments and the outside of the bridge. "It's beautiful…"
"Yes it is…" said Bright and trailed off.
Suddenly, alarms rang in the bridge. "What's going on?!" demanded Bright as he turned to his operators.
"Minosky Particles detected! We're being attacked!" reported Marker as he looked at sensors in front of him. "Best I can tell, it's a Musai class battleship."
"Char…" muttered Bright as he grabbed his uplink to the White Base's internal communications. "We are under attack. All pilots prepare for combat."
Akira reached the hangar almost immediately after the orders, his military training made him react faster than anyone else, what surprised him was that Gundam was already active and ready to go.
"Gundam, take off." Said Amuro as the Mobile Suit blasted off into space.
Akira just shook his head as he activated his Sabrefish's systems. 'Hmm. The techies did a good job.'
"Corporal Yamada, are you ready to go?" Akira smiled upon hearing Sayla's voice.
"Roger that, just give me the all green." Replied the Earth Federation pilot.
"Go!" The Sabrefish blasted out of the White Base hangar the minute Sayla gave the command.
Outside, Akira could see a Musai class battleship nearing the White Base. The Gundam was fighting off a small team of Zaku-IIs. What interested him the most was that one of the Zaku-II was red. "The Red Comet…" muttered Akira as he turned his Sabrefish towards the battle.
'Above?' thought Amuro as he swerved the Gundam out of the way of enemy fire and blasted one of the Zaku-II squarely in the chest, killing the pilot and igniting the reactor, causing a beautiful explosion.
'Behind?' Amuro turned and took aim at the missile that was flying directly at him. Pressing the 'fire' button, the Gundam blasted the missile and the Zaku-II that fired it, destroying both in one shot.
"Good show Amuro, but don't have all the fun." Akira's voice cut through Amuro's thoughts and made Amuro look up. The Sabrefish came flying straight down at one of the Zaku-II and pelted it with cannon fire before finishing it with a missile to the head.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Char could tell when he was beat. 'The Gundam Pilot has improved greatly since we first met and that Sabrefish is causing enough chaos to turn the tide.' Suddenly, he noticed that the Guncannon was trying to sneak up on him. Swinging his Zaku-II around, Char fired a missile from his bazooka at Kai's Mobile Suit. The missile impacted against the left cannon of the red Mobile Suit, causing the Guncannon to tumble back into the darkest of space.
Char flew back to the Musai and touched it. "Activate the retreat flare." Immediately, almost all the remaining Zaku-IIs returned to the Musai, all but one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Amuro, Kai, Corporal Yamada, we have to start re-entry now. Get back in here!" Sayla shouted into the comm-link.
"2 minutes to re-entry." Said Mirai as she looked at Sayla worriedly. Sayla shook her head in response.
"They'll have to take care of themselves." Said Bright, trying to keep a strong face.
"Hey, don't count me out yet." Kai landed his damaged Guncannon to the left of the White Base bridge and grabbed onto the ship.
"Where's Amuro?"
"Don't know Sayla, lost contact when I got hit by the red Zaku…" replied the purple haired pilot.
"Don't worry about us. We'll make it." A familiar voice came through the comm-link.
"Amuro?! Where are you?" asked Sayla.
"Look to your right." The entire crew looked out of the bridge to see the Gundam using its shield as a re-entry shield. Next to the Gundam was the Sabrefish, that was naturally meant for re-entry. The crew sighed with relief.
Sayla noticed something more that the rest of the crew did not seem to notice. A green streak of energy flying towards Earth in the distance behind the Gundam and Sabrefish. Sayla wondered what it was but kept it to herself, the crew had more problems at the moment.
"Leave to him to think of a way out of this." Muttered Bright with a smile. Then, looking seriously to the front, he shouted, "Continue re-entry, to Jaburo."
The Gundam threw its burnt out shield just before reaching the ground. Amuro leaned back into his seat, he had taken a gamble and lived through the event. Out of his left screen, he could see the Sabrefish flying next to him.
The White Base picked up the two before continuing on its course to Jaburo. Amuro and Akira walked into the bridge to an awaiting crew. "Good job…" muttered Bright, showing a rare emotion of pride. Then, he straightened and his voice turn stern, "But next time, when we order you back, get back here." He then gave a smile to the duo.
"Yes sir!" shouted Akira as he saluted. All Amuro did was nod with little to no enthusiasm.
Bright seemed to ignore and spoke in his stern voice once more, "We have presently landed in Japan. The attack from Char's forces put our en-entry path a little off. We hope to arrive at Jaburo by tomorrow."
As Bright walked back to his seat on the bridge, a short, brown-haired girl ran up to Amuro, grabbed and dragged him away. "Come on Amuro, let's get you something to eat."
Akira looked a little amused as he walked up to Sayla. "Who's the squirt?"
Sayla looked up from her communication screen, took off her headpiece and flipped back her hair. "That's Frau Bow. Amuro's friend from Side 7."
Akira seem thoughtful about it then nodded. "You should get some rest Corporal Yamada."
Akira looked back at Sayla and smiled, "Call me Akira, all my friends do."
Sayla returned the smile before replacing her headpiece. "Then… get some rest Akira." Akira shook his head and turned to walk to the door.
"As you wish, m'lady…"
Akira laid in his bed. He was thinking of Sayla. There was something about her that attracted him to her, he was not sure what. 'Maybe cos she's strong and independent?' With a smirk, Akira drifted into a sleeping state…
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The alarms awoke Akira as he jerked up from the bed. Misty eyed, he vaguely heard Bright shout through the intercom, "… unknown identified robots attacking… move out…"
Rubbing his eyes, Akira grabbed his jumpsuit, quickly put it on along with his boots then ran out of his room and towards the hangar. Once again, the Gundam blasted off the minute he arrived to his cockpit. 'How does that kid keep beating me to the punch?'
"Corp… Akira, ready?"
Akira smiled at Sayla's change to using his name. He quickly scanned his fighter's systems and keyed his comm-link, "Ready to launch bridge."
"Go!" The Sabrefish blasted out of the White Base hangar the minute Sayla gave the command.
Akira almost crashed in a giant 18 metre purple coloured robot with two snake-like heads. "What?!" exclaimed the pilot as he managed to get his Sabrefish to avoid the attack.
Akira blasted his Sabrefish straight up to get a bird's-eye view of the situation. The White Base was being attacked by three odd looking robots. One had two blades stuck in its skull-looking head, one was purple with two snake-like heads and the third was a giant turtle-looking, flying battleship.
"Holy…" muttered Akira as he shot in to attack the purple robot that had a grip on the White Base. Firing off eight of his missiles, he pulled up from the dive to avoid crashing into the robot.
Akira turned to see explosions peppering the robot. "Alright!" Akira snapped his fingers as he shouted out in victory but through the smoke, one of the heads suddenly popped out and fired two laser beams from its eyes. "What? That's not possible." The lasers connected and blew off the Sabrefish's left wing, causing it to lose altitude.
Meanwhile, Amuro was having problems with the skull-like robot. His beam rifle had been exhausted but had caused no damage on the robot other than burn marks. "Sayla! Where are Kai and Hayato?"
"They can't get out of the hangar. One of the robots is blocking the entrance. How are doing?" came the reply from a frantic Sayla.
"Not good, my beam rifle had no effect and it's blocking off my Beam Sabre with its bare arms, I don't think my Vulcan cannons will even dent it."
"I'm down as well." Akira's voice came through the comm-link just as the Sabrefish struck the ground hard.
Meanwhile, the battleship fired huge missiles at the Gundam. Amuro immediately tried to avoid them but as he did, the explosions rocked the area, sending the Gundam flying right into the waiting arms of the skull-like robot.
The skull-like robot put the Gundam is a vice-grip, cracking the gundamium alloy and causing minor electrical shocks within the cockpit.
"Is this the end?" muttered Amuro weakly as control panels in the cockpit started to explosion.
Frau saw Amuro is trouble and shouted out to him, "Amuro… No!!!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out through the plains. "Rocket Punch!"
