Chapter 4
Darkness of a Gundam
The Gundam Magna walks by a lake and stops by it. Ryan stares into the lake and begins to daydream.
Ryan remembers a time when his own family was by a lake once on the colony. They stayed there all day and they never complained because it was quiet and peaceful.
"Why do they get to have a peaceful place to live by when my time of peace was taken away from me by a single flame and explosion?" Ryan looks down onto the floor of the cockpit. Then he looks up onto the screen and sees a mobile suit ahead of him.
"Oh hell no!" The Gundam pulls out it's beam saber and pulls out it's shield to defend itself from attack.
Te enemy mobile suit's eyes glow red and pulls out it's
own dark yellow beam saber.
"What?" Ryan says, then Ryan notices that the other mobile suit has horns in the shape of a "V" on it's forehead. "A Gundam!"
The enemy Gundam jumps into the air and pulls out a rifle and fires a beam shot at the ground near the Magna unit.
"Beam weaponry! But I thought that the Earth Empire Mobile Suits weren't advanced enough to use a safe beam weapon on earth!"
The beam shots continue to be fired at the Magna Gundam, and dodges each shot.
"Hm, I'm surprised that a colony machine could keep up with the reaction time of my Gundam," said the pilot of the enemy Gundam on speakers.
The Magna Gundam Jumps into the air and slashes downward at the enemy Gundam, but the enemy Gundam blocks the attack with it's own beam saber. The enemy Gundam pushes back the Gundam Magna and makes it fall on it's back. The enemy Gundam points it's saber at the cockpit of the Gundam Magna.
"Checkmate, my friend…" spoke the pilot of the enemy Gundam. Right before the enemy Gundam gave it's final blow to the Gundam Magna, Magna rolls out of the way and grabs it's saber with both hands, ready for battle.
"How did you--? Well, I guess I shouldn't have assumed less from a Gundam pilot…" said the pilot of the enemy Gundam.
Ryan stares at the screen in confusion, but replies, "How did the Earth Empire get a Gundam anyway, Gundanium Alloy is very hard to get you know!"
The pilot of the enemy Gundam responds with, "You seem to know a lot about these mobile weapons, don't you?" Ryan doesn't respond and the pilot says, "Well, first, one of the colony convoys was hijacked by the Earth Empire about a year ago, and found Gundanium by the tons. So we built a Gundam, We named it Black Gundam."
"Black? Why Black?" Ryan asked. "Why? Just look at the damn thing, it's completely black!"
The Gundam Magna dashed forward, ready to slash down onto the Black Gundam when the Black Gundam jumped out of the way, making the Magna Gundam miss it's target.
"You don't get it, you can't beat me, even with a Gundam!" yelled the pilot of Black Gundam. Ryan sighs, then pulls out it's Beam Machine Rifle at the same time as putting away the beam saber.
The Gundam Magna locks onto the Black Gundam and
fires. The Black is hit by three out of five beam shots and is slightly damaged.
"I applaud your strategy, however, it is not going to save you on smarts alone!" The Black Gundam dashes towards the Gundam Magna and slashes down on it.
The Gundam Magna blocks the attack with it's shield, then fires it's Beam Machine Gun at the Black Gundam's cockpit at point blank range.
After seventeen beam shots, the Black Gundam jumps backwards to regain it's strength and reveals several holes in the armor and uncontrollable electric bolts flying out of those holes. The Gundam Magna falls onto one knee to reveal a large slash damage on the shield.
"Boy, you don't let up!" said the pilot of the Black Gundam, panting. "My name is Kyle, what's yours?"
Ryan, panting just as much as Kyle, says, "My name? My name is Noel, Ryan Noel."
"Noel? Well it's nice to meet you Ryan, hopefully I'll see you again, don't die until I kill you, got it?" Kyle says in a chuckling tone.
"Don't worry, I'm not dying on this God forsaken planet," Ryan said before losing his ability to speak for a moment.
"Good, because you make a quite worthy opponent alright, you don't let up, no matter what!"
The Black Gundam activates it's thrusters and begins to boost away from the area.
The Gundam Magna, no damage to the hull, but to the shield is quite noticeable, walks toward the lake and stares at it for awhile before walking away from the area and began to head for the next base on the list of targets, in New York.
