Dawn Of a New Era

Chapter 3

The Grand Finale

"Cough, cough."

Naruto continued to wheeze and cough trying to filter his lungs of the smoke, that had entered his cockpit from a rupture in the one of the side walls. Partially blind from the smoke, his left hand reached around clumsily for the left joystick. After finding it he pulled hard, and drew his mobile suit back to it's feet. Turning his console, and seat both attached together, his head turned toward's Mei's badly crushed Zakei. He turned the magnification up on his vid screen for any sign of life, and found several drops of blood leading away from the suits nearly destroyed cockpit. Seeing his advantage with the temporary fog, he wiped his eyes quickly, and reached down to pick up his beam saber. The brilliant hum of the weapon warmed in the mobile suit's titanium grasp. Not waiting for the gray mist to clear, Naruto ran shouting through the mist.

"AIEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"TRUN! TRUN! TRUN!" The G-suit's metal feet clanking all the way through.

"YAHHHHHHHHH!"

ː

"TRUN!"A loud sound echoed pounding against the concrete ground.

"What's that!" Panicked Van.

"What sir?"

"TRUN!"

"That!"

"SHIINNNGG!"A red flash close to Grin's position.

"Grin come in, anything yet?"

Panicking again.

Silence, nothing, no sound.

"Grin you idiot. Where are you? Answer me now!"

Still Panicking.

The forest green Zakei stepped backward, slowly; Van's face lay covered in sweat, and fear, almost as if he knew he would die. While his breathing grows less and less steady by the minute, his heart beats like a stampede, growing faster and faster.

"Come on you idiot, answer me! Don't scare me like this, come on!"

Clumsily, as his hands sweat he pulls both joysticks backwards again, the MS begins to step backward with it's left side. The right side, next begins to pull back.

"CRUNCH."

As his Zakei stopped abruptly, Van began to panic again. He blunders again, hurriedly dropping his gun with a clank against the ground, as he runs forward venturing in a random direction for his life.

"TPH TPH TPH TPH TPH TPH TPH TPH TPH!"Suddenly and incessantly the sound repeats itself non-stop, almost neverending.

The Zakei drops flat against the ground, it's arm falls first- disconnected- and is crushed under the weight of his beaten mobile suit.

The G-suit slowly turns it's head 100mm vulcan guns away from the fallen Zeon mobile suit. The auto turrets emit a slowly fading smoke. Slowly, the suit walks away; an unpleasant smile covers the face of the pilot. Multiple explosions erupt as the Zakei, dies away in the fires of it's interior engine. Debris splashes the area, vehicles, random buildings and other public tools destroyed by the devastating pieces of shredded metal.

ː

"Musai, MUSAI! Get up please! Come on, you can't die not now!" Kato lies crouched against a fallen traffic light, holding his fallen friend Musai, across his lap.

"Cough, cough... Kato...Kato." a faint whisper escapes Musai's dry lips.

"Come on don't die." replies the other voice, crying in pain.

"Looks like...this is ... my...end... good...bye."

"No." Whimpers Kato; Musai's body twitches, his body convulsing for several seconds, coughing up small drops of blood.

"...see...ya'." The final twitch, a flash of the past, and present, reveals itself before Musai's eyes, his dirty bleached brown hair, sweeps over his face, as he rolls over, breathing his last.

Kato looks up at the clean-white of the G-suit, glaring angrily, at the polished head of the MS.

"Damn you."
