Chapter 13
"The Final Battle"
"Damage report!" yelled Sheila.
"Major damage to the engines, the first explosion set off a chain reaction and blew all of the circuitry in the system, we're dead on the land!"
"Abandon ship!" yelled Sheila.
The shipmates escape the fallen ship, as it collapses under it's own weight. The final few crew members and mobile suit Buster Armors exit the ship, it finally collapses and blows up after the fuel line breaks and the fire catches onto the fuel leak.
"So, that's it?" asked Ryan to Sheila.
"No, there'll be another ship like that, but only if you finish your mission," replied Sheila.
"Why only when I finish my mission?"
"Because, when courage returns to the people after your victory, the people will rise up, and take their place in the world, so good luck kid…"
Ryan jumps inside the Gundam Magna when Sheila said, "The last base in Russia is the Earth Empire capital, beat that, and you finish your mission!"
The Gundam Magna continues to walk in the middle of nowhere, only hoping to reach the Earth Empire capital in time.
Finally, after eight days of walking, the Gundam reaches the capital, only to be greeted by twenty Buster Armors, thirty five Zent 2 units, fourteen Gene Mobile Armors, and six M-61 tanks.
The Gundam Magna pulls out it's bazooka and charges into the battle.
The Gundam fires the first ten bazooka rounds at the Zent 2 units. Five of those thirty five Zent 2 units were destroyed by the bazooka rounds. Thirteen Zent 2 units fired their Nu beam cannons at the Gundam, and the Gundam dodged each and everyone of the shots. The Gundam lands on it's feet and fired another barrage of bazooka rounds at the group of Zent 2 units. Sixteen Zent 2 units were destroyed, fourteen remained. One of the Zent 2 units pulled out it's yellow beam saber and slashes down onto the Gundam. The Gundam is critically hit on the left shoulder, the then the Gundam fired it's Bazooka once, at close-range, at the Zent 2, and destroys it.
The Gundam then tries to fire it's bazooka again, but malfunctions. The Gundam throws the bazooka at a Zent 2 unit, then the bazooka misfires and destroys three Zent 2 units.
The Gundam lands on top of a Buster Armor, and makes the Buster Armor fall. The Gundam steals the Buster Armor's Heat Shotel and slices through the Zent 2 unit survivors. Only the Buster Armors, Gene Mobile Armors, and the tanks remained.
The Buster Armors and the Gene MA weapons worked together and fired their cannons and machine rifles at the Gundam. The Gundam received only minor damage, and activates its' red beam saber, only after discarding the Heat Shotel, and begins to slice through the Buster Armors.
After three minutes, the Buster Armors reduced from twenty to five, and the Gene MA from fourteen to two.
The Gundam slices through the remaining Buster Armors and Gene MA like nothing.
Finally, the six M-61 tanks remained… The Gundam fired at the tanks with it's Vulcan cannons and saw the tanks blow sky high.
Just as the Gundam was about to reach the command
tower of the base, a beam shot hits the Gundam in the back, and makes the Gundam fall to the ground. The Gundam gets to it's feet, then sees the attacker, the Black Gundam.
"Ryan, are you sure that you do not wish to surrender to the VWW?" asked Kyle in his newly rebuild Black Gundam.
"No… I will keep on fighting till the day I die!"
The Black Gundam tossed it's beam rifle to the side, and pulls out it's yellow beam saber. "I will not lose this time!"
The Gundam Magna returns to it's battle stance with the red beam saber active.
The Gundam Magna slashes downward at the Black Gundam, but it dodges the attack. The Black Gundam grabs it's beam rifle and fires at the Magna Gundam, with the rifle in it's left hand and the saber in it's right.
The Gundam Magna grabs a Nu beam cannon from the ground and fires at the Black Gundam, with the Nu beam rifle in it's left hand and the beam saber in it's right.
The two Gundams continue to fire beam shots at one another as the day grows long. The Black Gundam throws it's beam saber at the Gundam Magna, and slices through the outer hull of the cockpit in the torso. Black Gundam's beam saber falls to the ground and deactivates. The Gundam Magna raises its' beam saber over the Black Gundam as the Magna Gundam leaped into the air.
"This ends now!" Yelled Ryan as he slices off the Black Gundam's head and left arm. The Gundam Magna lands right in front of the Black Gundam, then kicks the cockpit of the Black Gundam with it's right knee.
"AHH!" screamed Kyle as the Black Gundam fell onto it's back and completely deactivates for the last time.
The Gundam Magna stands up normally and deactivates the red beam saber.
"It's over…"
"No, I can't lose!"
All over the world and in outer space, a single transmission was being read all over repeating the same thing.
The transmission showed the leader of the Earth Empire in a military suit and reading a speech.
"The people of earth have spoken, and apparently, so has space, in accordance to this effort by a colony weapon dubbed 'Gundam M1' from the 'Operation M1' United Colony Republic action, the earth… grants the colonies independence from the Earth Empire and officially views the colonies as a separate set of nations. Also, in this light, people of earth have
made a decision, they wish for a voice, instead of an empire. No longer will the earth be under one voice, but of many, different voices, so they could all be heard, and so this kind of bloodshed would never happen again. This government of empire will now be called the United Earth Nations, in hope for peace in our entire solar system. This new government will become… a democracy…"
The speech continues on, when suddenly Kyle says, "No, earth must fall, no matter what!"
Kyle pushes a button and yells into a speaker, "Begin 'Operation M1,' second option!"
"What!" replied Ryan.
On a colony near the earth orbit, several scientists at large consoles sit and await orders. One of the scientists has a set of headphones and hears the announcement. The scientist gets up from his chair and pulls out a pistol and aims it at the group of scientists.
"In the name of freedom from the earth, I order all now to stick to the wall, or you will be shot!"
The scientists become afraid by this crazy person, but follows his directions.
"Even though the United Colony Republic may be mistaken, we, the Vengeful Wings of War, will set things straight!" says the man with the pistol, pressing several buttons on a keyboard. Then a large siren starts up. The speaker blares with the message that says, "Warning, launch of nuclear weapons ready, continue?"
The man with the pistol presses a button, the then computer says, "launch preparations completed, launch in 3...2...1... Launch!"
Seven nuclear missiles are fired from the launch bay and begin to head towards earth.
Five colony soldiers barge into the room where the scientists are being held, and the man with the pistol.
"You're too late, now earth will just be, a memory…"
Said the man with the pistol. He held his gun to the side of his own head, and fired. His body fell lifelessly to the ground as the soldier scurried to the scientists to see their health status.
"What was that about, Kyle!" yelled Ryan.
"The nuclear missiles are now headed towards earth, looks like that we both get to die here on earth… oh well, at least your meddling ways will be lost forever!" replied Kyle, then goes into a menacing laughter.
The Gundam Magna looks up into the sky and warms up the thrusters.
"Wait, your aren't going to… Gundams may be powerful, but they can't survive the atmosphere!"
"This one can…" replied Ryan as the Gundam Magna fires it's thrusters and boosts towards the sky.
The Gundam Magna reaches the outer atmosphere in a matter of minutes, and finally exit's the atmosphere, without a scratch.
The Gundam Magna boosts towards the first missile. The Gundam fires a beam shot, and blows up the missile. The Gundam was out of reach of the blast. The Gundam fires another two shots at the next two nuclear missiles, both were destroyed. The Gundam fires two more shots at the next two missiles, same results.
The Gundam gets the last two missiles within visual range, and fires at one of the missiles. The missile explodes. Finally the last missile comes within range.
The Gundam locks onto the last missile, and pulls the trigger, nothing happens. Ryan pulls the trigger inside the cockpit again, but nothing happens. The Gundam Magna discards the Nu beam rifle.
The Gundam stares at the incoming missile. "I have to destroy it, if it gets to earth, the last person to me will no longer be… I will not allow her to die! I now have been given the chance to make a difference, and now I'm taking it!"
The Gundam Magna pulls out the red beam saber, and charges towards the last high-powered nuclear missile. The beam blade of the saber turns from red to gold. The Gundam Magna slashes down onto the missile, and explodes in the Gundam's face.
The explosion engulfs the Gundam Magna and sends out several shockwaves into outer space. This was the final stand of the Gundam Magna.
Today, on August 29, 232 N.E., peace finally came to the people after several years of war. The Colonies gained their independence and have officially been named as the United Colony Republic, a name that would last for years to come. At the same time, the Earth Empire clearly became the new United Earth Nations that became a new symbol of change for the near future. Not too later from this event, the earth began to share their revolutionary new technology to the colonies, and vice-versa.
This alliance had become very beneficial for both groups and peace became very strong.
Near the edge of colony territory, near Jupiter, a research vessel orbits one of Jupiter's moons.
"Adam, are you sure you found Gundanium, there's nothing here!" said a woman in the research vessel.
"I told you Arlene, there's a large amount of Gundanium Alloy around here-- There it is!"
The research vessel encounters a cluster of metal, assumed to be Gundanium Alloy. The research vessel reveals tow mechanical arms and tries to separate the cluster of alloy, to see a mobile suit within the cluster, badly damaged. It is missing a head, both arms, one leg, and parts of the hull covering the cockpit.
"Whoa! I didn't think a mobile suit would be out this far! What kind is it?" asked Arlene.
"According to this radar, it's a mobile suit of Gundanium, a Gundam!" replied Adam, extremely excited.
"I wonder which Gundam it is!" replied Arlene.
"According to the database, it's the… what? That can't be right…"
"What is it?"
"It's the Gundam Magna! But it was destroyed about eight days ago!"
Inside the Gundam Magna, Ryan, with his helmet one, barely opens his eyes to see the research vessel's headlights shining on him. Ryan puts his arm up to block the light from his eyes.
"Hey! There's movement in the cockpit! The pilot might be alive!" exclaimed Adam, using the research vessel's arms to grab onto the Gundam Magna and places it inside the vessel.
Five minutes later, Ryan jumps out of the Gundam Magna, almost losing his balance inside the vessel's hanger, when he meets two people walking towards him.
"Where… Where am I?" asked Ryan, taking his helmet off.
"You're on the Research Vessel 'Lucas,' it's an honor to meet you sir!" replied Adam.
"No, as in, what part of space am I?"
"You're near Jupiter… I must say, you must've had much better luck than the devil himself when you showed up here alive! You shouldn't have survived the blast from the warhead," replied Arlene.
"It must've been the Rebirthian DNA… But could it have been that powerful?" said Ryan to himself.
"We belong to the SC-199, the nearest colony from here, would you like to stay awhile, I would like to learn more about this Gundam there!" replied Adam.
"Alright… but since the colony military doesn't need me anymore, please, don't let anyone else know about this, okay?" asked Ryan.
"Lips are sealed!" replied Adam, shaking Ryan's hand in confirmation.
