This will likely be the last chapter for a short while. I honestly don't have a clue as to how long it will take for me to update, but rest assured I will try. I'd like to send a special thanks to Billys lil Riot Girl for all the reviews author glows with pride. I'm glad you're at least reading, because no one else will apparently.
I need reviews. That's about all I've got to say now.
Disclaimer: some big important person or people, who are very lucky, owns Gundam Wing and its characters. I congratulate them and simultaneously curse them and their family, because I wish I owned them. Now read on and enjoy.
After Eve Gundam Wing: New Heero
Chapter Fifteen
"Buckle your seatbelts boys, because I'm about to take you all down!" shouted Rachel as Heavy Arms' eyes lit up green, and it equipped both of its Twin Gatling Guns.
"I'm first though," said Jin. Wing Zero spread its wings out, fully extended. "Keep in mind also. You're not just fighting me. You're fighting ZERO too."
Rachel tried not to show her fear and shock, having forgotten about the ZERO system. "It...won't make a difference," she stammered. "I'll win in spite of it."
"Don't get too cocky now." Wing Zero flew at Heavy Arms and readied it two beam sabers, but didn't draw them just yet. Heavy Arms instantly began firing a hail of bullets at him, but Wing Zero flew right through them, dodging almost every bullet while still barreling down on Heavy Arms.
"It seems I'm too fast for your bullets," said Jin with a smirk as he dashed to the side the instant he was upon Heavy Arms. He drew one on his beam sabers and slashed at Rachel's side. The sword narrowly missed as Heavy Arms bent backwards and flipped to avoid it.
"Heavy Arms can do that?" asked Jin mostly to himself in shock. "It's such a heavy Gundam though."
"In the hands of a skilled pilot, Heavy Arms can be pushed past its limitations," said Rachel. "This is true of any mobile suit. You should know that Jin."
"Yeah whatever," said Jin. Heavy Arms landed and fired out of its chest mounted Gatling Guns. Jin had to dive behind a large rock, which shielded most of his Gundam from the bullets.
This isn't going to work for long he thought. Rachel wasn't stopping the bullets, keeping Wing Zero pinned down. I'm fighting a Gundam that shoots bullets, so naturally I won't be able to avoid every shot...Dammit. Here goes
Meanwhile, Nataku, Sandrock, and Deathscythe were trying to fight each other in an every man for himself all out battle. Deathscythe descended on the dueling pair of Nataku and Sandrock and raised its beam scythe as its wings spread. The slash was barely dodged by Kreed and Anita, who split apart in the second so that Deathscythe fell through and landed hard into the ground.
Nataku, flying backwards, fired off a Dragon Fang at each of its foes. Sandrock was able to easily dodge to shot, already flying backwards also, but Deathscythe, still recovering from the fall, was clipped on the left wing, and was spun around. Stephen was left a little disoriented.
Kreed engaged Stephen, and raised the beam trident to strike from above. Deathscythe quickly raised its own beam trident, and their weapons clashed. They pressed hard into each other for several seconds, testing their opponent's strength.
"Oh boys," came Anita's mockingly sweet voice. Kreed and Stephen looked up and were staring down the barrel of Sandrock's Sub Machine Guns, one for each of them. "You seemed to have forgotten about me."
Anita let loose from her Machine Guns. Nataku's head was completely blown away. Nothing remained as it fell to the ground, a small stream of smoke trailing from the mortal wound. Deathscythe, however, wasn't wounded at all, although Anita was positive the bullets hit him also.
"You seemed to have missed," said Stephen. He began laughing in hysterical, maniacal, fits of laughter as the image of Deathscythe faded and disappeared.
"What the fuck?!" yelled Anita. "What'd you do!?"
"Oh Anita," came Stephen's voice. Anita looked around frantically, looking everywhere and on her radar monitor. "So close, and yet, so far away at the same time."
"Where are you Stephen?" asked Anita. The twinge of fear was barely noticeable in her voice, but it was noticeable nonetheless.
"This Gundam is the master of stealth and darkness," said Stephen. "Don't worry, I'm closer than you might expect..." Anita continued looking around, her heart racing. She could almost feel his presence, feel his breath as he spoke, but the only other things out there were Wing Zero and Heavy Arms.
Anita holstered a Machine Gun and drew a heat sword in its place. "Come out of hiding Stephen."
Deathscythe appeared not far to her left. Anita spun and fired her gun in one rapid motion, but the bullets only went right through the Gundam, and it evaporated again. Deathscythe appeared once more, this time right in front of her. Sandrock lunged with the sword and fell right through it though.
"Dammit!" shouted Anita as she spun Sandrock around. "What the hell is this?!" Everywhere I look I see him, but it's as if he's not really there. He just disappears the instant I attack him
"It's like he has some kind of stealth or something," said Kreed. "Wish I'd been able to do something like that before I got fried. Some bastards just have all the luck."
Looks like Stephen's giving Anita a run for her money thought Jin as he left the safety of the rock and headed strait to Heavy Arms. "Here I come Rachel!"
"You don't have to tell me," replied Rachel as she put both the Gatling Guns on her back, and the Heat Blades slid out from her arms. "I could use a little melee anyway."
Wing Zero activated the second beam saber and swung both of them down at Heavy Arms' shoulders. Rachel reacted quickly enough that she raised both blades to deflect the slashes and returned the blow with a jab from her right arm. Wing Zero sidestepped and tackled Heavy Arms, bringing it to the ground as Wing Zero jumped backwards and landed smoothly.
Rachel got up quickly though, and she pressed a button to her left. Several circles centered themselves around Wing Zero on the screen, first green, until they locked on and turned red. "Chew on this Jin!" She pressed another red button.
The doors on Heavy Arms' shoulders opened instantly to reveal a barrage of missiles, which launched and homed in on Wing Zero. "Aw Crap," muttered Jin as he maneuvered Wing Zero backwards. The ten missiles got closer to Jin, who finally turned around and flew at full throttle away.
They'll catch me in no time he thought. I've never been chased by missiles before...What should I do...hmmm, this may work, but it may not. I don't have much of a choice He sheathed both the beam swords and turned around. He had only seconds to act.
He put both his hands together at his waist as he crouched and prepared for a Buster Wave. The golden light surrounded his opened hands and the compartments on his shoulders slid open to allow the charging of absorbed particles. A red target hovered around his eye for a second as the computer worked on locking onto as many missiles as possible.
The circle centered itself around his eye and locked on, turning red as a beep signaled the shot was ready to be fired.
"What's he doing?" asked Rachel. Jin thrust Wing Zero's hands forward and launched the fully charged beam at the center of the advancing missiles. Only the beam directly hit a couple of the missiles, but the surrounding missiles were incinerated anyway as the beam continued towards Heavy Arms and Rachel.
Heavy Arms held up its shields in an attempt to block the shot. Futile...
The Gundam was incinerated for the most part.
"Wow," said Rachel as the lights in her cockpit shut down. "Good thing this was only a simulator. I'm sure I'd be dead otherwise."
"Now where is Anita and Stephen?" asked Jin out loud.
"I'm right here," said Anita. "Stephen's been fading out of sight for the last ten minutes though, and I can't find him!" There was an obvious hint of annoyance in her voice as she slashed at another fake image of Deathscythe Hell, and it disappeared. "Grrrrr!!!"
Wing Zero flew strait at Anita at full speed, who turned in shock. There was no way she'd have time to raise her sword and defend herself. She closed her eyes and looked away the instant she saw him raise his sword.
Ka-Shhnnkk!-Shiiinnng!
Deathscythe stood limp with Wing Zero's beam saber through it's side, and electricity coursing through its entire body as the stealth mechanism malfunctioned and shut down. Jin pulled the sword out and Deathscythe fell.
"That was fun while it lasted," said Stephen. "How'd you know I was there? How'd you see me?"
"I didn't know you were there," said Jin with a smile. "I was actually going for Anita. I guess you were just too close." Stephen's face fell to an amazed look of shock. "I guess you could say it was a fluke."
"A fluke?" asked Stephen. "I can't believe it. I was doing so good too! I could've won!"
End Chapter Fifteen
The resolution between Anita and Jin comes next chapter, plus some major plot thickening, and I mean MAJOR to an extreme. It may not be a surprise though, if you catch on to hints really well. I appreciate reviews, remember that.
