Okay, you may gripe at me for not updating sooner. I don't know what came over me that made me so lazy, but here's the next chapter, and veterans of the old series will recognize the appearance of a new MS type by OZ. It'll be good. Trust me. Oh, and this chapter will be a little longer than the previous ones, so the wait will have been worth it I'm sure.
Oh, and I cannot possibly tell you all how pleased I am with the reviews I've been getting. I love them all, even the ones in which people tell me what's wrong or when people just ramble on endlessly. In my opinnion, the more you ramble and criticize, the better my story becomes. It's been great to have you readers with me, especially those who've been reviewing since the beginning.
If anyone has a website that would like to post my story, I'm looking to post it at multiple places, so just tell me if you're interested, put the story up, and send me a link to the site via my email or a review. Just give credit to me when or if you do put my story up. The author ( myself) goes by the penname Jin Yuy. Thanks.
As for the disclaimer...What, you want ME to admit of my free will that GW doesn't belong to me? You want me to tell he truth, that I am but a lowly writer who is merely borrowing the ideas and concepts of GW?...You'll get no such consent from me... Wing Zero, show them who's boss.
After Eve Gundam Wing: A New Heero
Chapter Thirty-Four
"What are those things?" asked Rachel as they neared the explosions over the city of Varsity. There were red and blue Mobile Suits flying everywhere.
"They appear to be new models," said Jin. "ZERO's system doesn't have any record of previous existence, so they must be new. Stay on your toes."
"Roger," said Anita. "The priority is protect the city."
"Gundams, move out," commanded Jin.
"Yes sir," confirmed the pilots enthusiastically. They blasted towards the Mobile Dolls and straight into the crowd. Beam Cannon fire erupted from all directions. There was chaos everywhere, and it was all the pilots could do just to avoid taking too much fire.
"Dammit!" shouted Stephen as he backed away from the red and blue suits carefully. "I can't get a chance to get close to them! They're too great in numbers!"
"Look carefully," said Jin. "Only the blue suits are firing cannons. In fact, it seems they're the only ones equipped with cannons." Jin was correct. The blue suits were staying in place, firing their large Super Beam Cannons everywhere, creating a chaotic swarm of energy beams. The red ones were the ones doing most of the movement.
"This is weird," said Jin. "Be very careful and proceed with caution. Take down the blue Mobile Dolls, and isolate them all."
Sandrock and Nataku targeted two side-by-side red and blue suits and flew at them. Nataku thrust with its beam saber at the slow blue, but its trident in mid-jab by an energy force field. "What the hell?" asked Kreed. A shot from the beam cannon blasted into his torso and propelled him backwards. Several discs were floating around the blue suit.
"Energy Shields," said Anita as she retreated from more fire. Nataku righted itself and followed. All the Gundams backed up so they were back to back. "What's the deal?"
"It's quite obvious," said Jin. The red suits support the blue suits, and the blue supports the red. Check it out. While the blues fire, the red ones' Planet Defensers surround and protect the blue ones."
"They're called the Gemini Suit Team," said a really strong, deep voice. The source was a large red Mobile Suit. It had a large Mega Cannon and a Heat Rod on its arms and a huge Beam Sword.
"The Scorpion Gundam," said Rachel.
"You're not Max," said Jin. "Who are you?"
"The name is Lieutenant Blanc," said a black man on all the Gundams' monitors. "And I am the new owner of this Mobile Suit Scorpion. As I was saying, these are the Mobile Dolls Gemini Suits; the blues are called Gemini Vayeate, and the reds are called Gemini Mercurius. Do you like them?"
"Mercurius and Vayeate," said Anita. "I know those names. Those are old Mobile Suits from seventeen years ago, used by OZ in space. I thought I recognized these suits."
"Correct child," said Blanc. "They've been mass-produced and integrated with new Mobile-Doll technology. They're a lot stronger than their predecessors. Just try them out."
"Guys," said Jin. "Don't just charge in. These things are strong. We need to do this methodically. There's about sixty, thirty of each type. If everyone sticks together, we can overcome them."
"Charge!" shouted Stephen. Deathscythe Hell led the charge, and flew with its beam saber held high, and all others except Wing Zero followed in a line. Deathscythe took several shots direct, but kept flying, crashing right into the red Mercurius, knocking it backwards and away off balance. Sandrock flew right into another Mercurius, leaving a pair of Vayeates quite unprotected. They immediately fell prey to Nataku's Dragon Fangs, exploding in balls of flame.
Deathscythe and Sandrock sliced through their Mercuriuses, while Heavy Arms distracted a crowd with its bullets. "That's how it's done guys!" shouted Jin. "You look good...so I'm going after Blanc." Wing Zero ascended to the Scorpion's level and hovered in front of it.
"So, you're this pest named Jin," said the Lieutenant. "No matter. This Gundam given to me by the Commander will prove most useful against you."
"You think so?" asked Jin. "you underestimate me."
"Perhaps you underestimate this suit little boy!" shouted Blanc. Scorpion raised it's purple beam saber to strike and charged at Wing Zero. He narrowly dodged and turned, activating his own saber and pursuing.
"Why are you attacking this city?" asked Jin as their Mobile Suits remained locked in a grapple with their swords. They pushed away.
"It's just the orders I was given," said Blanc.
"So Vance is attacking civilians now?' asked Jin. He stabbed at the Scorpion.
"Actually," said Blanc as he side-stepped, "I was ordered by Max. He never mentioned Vance. He trusted me with this mission to attack you guys and the city." He punched Wing Zero in the face and kicked it in the chest.
Wing Zero righted itself just in time to avoid being hit by one of Scorpion's cannon shots. The beam hit the city below, destroying a building. "Dammit Blanc!" shouted Jin. "Those are civilians!!!"
"You're under the impression that I care about their lives," said Blanc with evil laughter. Jin's was burning with rage, the anger building up within him.
"How...can you say that?" he asked as he charged up at Scorpion. "How...HOW CAN YOU BE SUCH A HEARTLESS SON OF A BITCH!!!???" He flew above and slashed down hard with his blue beam saber. Blanc blocked it and attempted to fire the Mega Cannon at Wing Zero's exposed chest, but Jin quickly unsheathed the other beam saber and cut off that arm. It fell to the ground below, and Scorpion backed off.
"He's powerful," said Blanc. He didn't notice that Jin was breathing hard in his cockpit, the gold lights glowing around him everywhere. ZERO II was jumping into full drive. "That was luck on your part!" shouted Blanc as he flew into Wing Zero. Wing Zero grabbed the Mobile Suit and turned it around so that its back was facing him. He easily threw it into the ground below.
Scorpion began to get up, but Wing Zero landed right over it and pinned it down. He held him down with one hand and raised the other in he air; it was glowing yellow with energy. "You...are not needed here," said Jin. "You are an enemy...An enemy to me and humanity everywhere. I must destroy my enemy." Jin's pupils were glowing yellow, and his face looked completely devoid of any emotion at all.
"You...can't kill me," said Blanc, pleading for his life. "Please, think of how you will regret this! Think of your parents! They wouldn't want you to kill. Would they?"
The ball in Wing's hand had fully charged. A wicked smile played across Jin's lips. "You're under the impression that I care about your life," he said. Blanc's eyes became wide fully in terror. This was it. He was going to die."
"JIN!" shouted Stephen. Deathscythe Hell crammed into him from the side and knocked him probably three-hundred yards away onto the ground. Wing Zero stood up. Jin still had the glow in his eyes.
"Stephen, what are you doing?" asked Jin.
"I'm stopping you from making a terrible mistake," said Jin. "I'm stopping you from killing him."
"Don't get in the way of my mission Stephen," said Jin as he walked forward toward him. "If you interfere with my mission, I'll have to kill you to."
"YOUR MISSION?!" shouted Stephen. "Are you even HEARING yourself?! Do you even know what your mission is?"
Wing Zero stopped walking. "What IS my mission?" he asked himself. His hands immediately shot up to his head, and he held it as a great pain seemed to try and split his skull. He cried as the pain continued to grow, and he finally stopped. What...is going on...What am I doing? ...What is...happening to me? ... It's ZERO...Don't do this...to me...ZERO...I...won't...kill...I can't!" The pain finally exploded in his head. He screamed as loud as he probably ever had before in his entire life, and the gold lights around him faded, and his body went limp in the cockpit, though he was breathing heavily.
"Jin," said Rachel. "Jin, can you hear me? JIN!?"
"I hear you Rachel," said Jin weakly. "Read you loud and clear."
"Thank God," replied Rachel.
"I'm...fine now," he said as he straightened up in his seat and looked around. "Thank you Stephen. Thanks for stopping me."
"I'm just looking out for you man," said Stephen. "I'm sure any lesser of a man would be killed by that ZERO System."
"Well it's okay now," said Jin. "I think that I've figured it out by now. With control of this system, a whole new set of combat capabilities had been opened up to me..." He rapidly spun around, facing back, and he fired a beam of Buster Energy into the sky. The last two Gemini Suits were destroyed as they attempted to attack Wing Zero in its distraction. see them," said Jin.
"What do you mean?" asked Anita as all the Gundams landed. "You saw them?"
"ZERO didn't have to tell me even," said Jin. "It's this new system thing. It's like I can see in all directions from every point of view... I can watch myself from all angles at once. I can see everything around me at every angle imaginable."
"Insane," said Kreed. "It sounds too impossible. How did Vivian and Howard come up with such a system?"
"Aren't...you gonna...kill me?" asked Lieutenant Blanc. Wing Zero spun around and slashed with a beam saber. Blanc screamed and closed his eyes. He opened them to see the beam saber just above his MS's head, so close that the armor was just melting.
"No Blanc," said Jin. "I won't kill you. I don't have to. You've been defeated. Never fight again Blanc. I cannot guarantee your safety next time."
Wing Zero lifted off the ground as the verniers started up, and the Gundams followed into the sky. They flew in a V Formation towards home.
"We're gong home guys," said Jin.
"All right," said Stephen. "Home at last..."
"Yes," said Rachel. "Finally...a home to go home to."
They flew away on the horizon as the day started to grow old. They were close to home when Kreed spotted smoke on the horizon.
"Now what?" he asked frustrated. They continued flying in that direction.
"Guys," said Jin, his voice shaky. "That's...Howard's house." Wing Zero increased to full speed.
"Howard?!" asked Rachel. Heavy Arms also flew ahead, and the others followed suit. Howard's house was completely destroyed, leveled.
End Chapter Thirty-Four
What a way to end this chapter eh? This was a little longer than expected, but I'm sure no one will complain. So I imagine most of you recognized the new Gemini's. Vayeate and Mercurius were used by OZ in space when Heero and the others were Gundam pilots in the TV series. They were created for the purpose of acting as a team. The Mercurius, more agile and equipped with a Buster Shield Beam Sabre, was adapt at melee combat, while the Vayeate would provide cover fire from a distance with a Super Beam Cannon. The Mercurius was also equipped with a set of floating discs called Planet Defensers that generated a powerful energy shield between them. Only Buster Energy proved effective at penetrating this shield, though one could fire AROUND the shields if you got behind them. Also, the Mercurius did at some points defend the Vayeate with the Planet Defensers. Now that they've been modified and mass-produced, things could get bad.
Oh, by the way, this story is actually nearing it's end. To be honest, there's gonna be a maximum of five chapters to go. Hope it's looking good to you all.
