In this chapter, you're gonna learn about the modifications to the new Gundams. Sorry, but there's not gonna be much plot revelation here, or dialogue for that matter. I'll try to get another chapter up with some action in it soon, like maybe by tonight. Don't forget to review.
You wanna know something funny? I don't own Gundam Wing. I guess it's not really funny, but I don't give a damn. I'm going to buy them out someday so I CAN own them, and then it's be mine...AAALLLLLL mine...He he he he
After Eve Gundam Wing: New Heero
Chapter Five
"Wow," said Jin in awe. The spectacular sight of the Gundams standing next to each other in a circle below was almost too much for him. They glistened in the bright lights of the hangar.
"Oooohh," said Stephen playfully. "Shiny."
"You like?" asked Howard.
"They're incredible," replied Jin. "More spectacular than I've ever imagined." The elevator behind them opened, and they all turned to see the 'partners'. First emerged a boy their age, sixteen, with white, spiked hair and light blue eyes. His outfit was rather white also, wearing a white t-shirt, white pants, and a white long coat.
"The name's Kreed," said as he extended his hand to Jin. Jin shook it to please him. "You're Jin Yuy and Stephen Xavier, no? We've heard a lot about you two."
"Good stuff I'd hope," joked Stephen.
"Lots of good stuff," said a female as she walked up to them. She too was sixteen years old. Her hair was short and blonde, and she wore glasses over her green eyes. She smiled as she said, "My name is Anita Rose. Nice to finally meet you both."
"Nice to meet you two also," said Jin.
"How's the simulator comin', Kreed?" asked Howard behind them suddenly. Kreed helped himself to one of the vacant computers next to them.
"It's working okay for the most part," replied the white-haired boy. "There's a glitch I just found while in, but it shouldn't take much work." Kreed typed furiously on the keyboard for several seconds as the others watched. Jin nearly got dizzy. "I got it! That's it. All better now."
"Great," said Kreed. "Why don't you show Jin and Stephen the simulator."
"This simulator," started Stephen. "Is it a flight simulator for the Gundam?"
"Yep," answered Anita. "We've been using it for a while now, although it hasn't been properly functioning until recently."
"Come on down," invited Kreed as he walked to the elevator. The others followed him, except for Jin. They got to the elevator and turned to see Jin leap out of the open window to the Gundams below.
Jin landed safely on Wing Zero's shoulder and slid down the torso to the open cockpit door. "You know," said Kreed. "Normally, I'd be shocked, but being Heero's son, I don't seem to be shocked at all."
"He's not a normal person," said Stephen as the door closed. "You can trust me on that one."
It was also no surprise that, when it came time to pick their Gundams, Jin picked Wing Zero. Stephen picked Deathscythe Hell. Anita had picked Sandrock, and Kreed piloted Nataku. The changes in the Gundams weren't very drastic.
Nataku, once piloted by Chang WuFei, was still dominantly army green in color, and had the massive dragon fangs on each arm. Their range had been greatly extended, and two flamethrowers were added to each. "They're also a lot faster, now equipped with strong boosters on the rear." The twin- beam trident wasn't changed much either. Its beams were more powerful, though not bigger, and it was made collapsible.
Sandrock's weapons experienced drastic changes. "I really didn't like the heat shorters," said Anita. "The sickle thing just didn't seem logical, so we had them changed." And changed they were. Replacing the heat shorter sickles were heat shorter swords, each about as big as Sandrock itself. Also added were the sub machine guns, two like the earlier models'. Its speed had also been increased, and it was equipped with two homing missiles mounted on the shoulders. (About where machine cannons would be)
Heavy Arms, the currently vacant Gundam, is no longer that horrid green color. It was given a red paint job again, like the earlier models. "Kreed's sister actually designed this one," said Howard. "You've not met her most likely, though she is in the TAC somewhere." The twin gatling guns, of which there were two, could still be mounted to the back and onto each arm, but the mounted onto large vernier thrusters on the back now, greatly increasing its speed. The missiles were the same in number, but four were added to each side, special missiles that released a liquid smoke screen, turning to black gas for invisibility. On each arm, when the twin gatling guns weren't equipped, a heat blade army knife could be extended for melee combat.
Deathscythe Hell received only one dramatic change. Remember the launchable buster shields on the earlier models of Deathscythe? The new model has one on each arm. The demonic wings, or Active Cloak, on the back remain the same, housing a better stealth hyper jammer system. The beam scythe, Deathscythe's most powerful weapon, has a stronger blade and is collapsible like Nataku's trident. The large spikes also remain on the feet and knee caps.
Wing Zero kept its large set of Angelic Wings, useful for atmospheric reentry and as shields, plus the rear set of wings contain the vernier thrusters. A booster was added on the side of each leg for increased speed. The beam sabers are now more like beam katanas, or samurai swords, which are stored on each side of the waist. Wing Zero's most dramatic change is that of the Buster Rifle. "We scrapped it," said Howard. "I simply got rid of it. Instead, the arms are integrated with a buster energy firing mechanism much more powerful than the rifle." Compartments on the shoulders would open to suck in charged particles, and the energy would be channeled through the arms. A small hole in the palms of the hands would open to fire the buster shot, and two beams could be combined for an ultra-powerful beam. (Ka-me-ha-me-ha style)
"You all put a lot into this," said Stephen as he surveyed Deathscythe from the cockpit door.
"It took two years to make them," said Howard.
"So this project began as soon as OZ went public?" asked Jin.
"Yeah," answered Howard. "Kept it a secret all this time, until they were finished."
"So let's try these puppies out," said Stephen. He jumped into his cockpit and closed the door. Jin followed suit, and the other two pilots climbed to their Gundams. All four of them were soon strapped in. Howard, meanwhile, went back to the control observation room.
"Now Jin and Stephen, this simulator is just like in real life," said Howard. "The controls, functions, and movements are all the same as if you were really piloting them. However, the Gundams won't move in reality. The monitors will display your battle-field in a virtual reality realm, so it'll seem very real."
"Cool," said Stephen. "I can't wait."
"Because you guys are new to the Gundams," said Kreed," Anita and I will be giving you a hands-on crash course."
"I don't like to crash," said Stephen.
"Just start the simulator Howard," said Jin. "And you two veterans, whatever you do...Do NOT...take it easy on me."
End Chapter Five
Wow, Chapter 5 already. I'm trying really hard to get as much up as soon as possible, because when summer break comes, I'm not gonna be able to update often, if ever. Just give me your updates please. I've got a total of 5 reviews, which I don't like so much, but thanks to you few anyway. Try to spread news about this story to your friends if you can.
In the next installment...Just how good are Anita and Kreed at this piloting thing? How good are Jin and Stephen? And what effect will the infamous ZERO system have on Jin's mind? (If any at all) Sorry about the previous promise to reveal more about OZ, but I'm trying to keep these chapters to a uniform length, relatively. Maybe I'll get to it in the next chapter.
