AC 201 Heero and Wufei are preventors called in for an accident on a sweeper ship captained by Duo. However it was no accident there's a killer on board and it isn't human. If you like suspense and gore you'll like this horror story. (At least I'm hoping to create suspense I believed I managed it.)
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters I only get my jollies off on torturing them and my readers with horrible gory stories like the one below. Bandia and a bunch of other rich and talented folk own these characters. Please don't'sue me.
Warnings: Rated R just to be on the safe side contains yaoi, gore and minor amounts of smut.
Secondary warning: I don't think my stories are scary, not to me personally but I have gotten that in my feedback (few as there was but there was some). A kind reviewer wrote to me and said, "don't change your style of writing. It's yours. There are people out there that will appreciate it." I thank that person. So I haven't toned it down or changed how I write but I am giving you fair warning.
Jaaku na Gundam
(English Translation The Evil Gundam)
Chapter 18 RecklessThat heavy unusual looking jaw dropped open with a screech of dry metal revealing rows of metal nubs that resembled pointy teeth. They stood there transfixed as the suit slapped away the scaffolding surrounding it. The metal mesh collapsed like a house of cards.
It was the falling metal that forced them into action. Duo shouted a battle cry and that snapped them out of their terror. They had already formulated a plan and had been only waiting on Duo's orders to begin. Duo's shout of retribution told them it was time.
The suit rushed them. It moved faster than they anticipated. It reached for Duo's vehicle its hand only inches from grabbing it when double lazar blasts cut across its forearm.
Cool and collected Trowa blasted the Gundam with his double lazars. His next shots though were hampered when his driver had to back up and dodge Jaaku na's swinging arm. If it had been a regular suit that arm would have been cut off. Because it was a Gundam Trowa's blast only damaged the outer casing. Still seeing the damage gave them hope the lazars they had customized were strong enough to score the metal.
The suit turned at the new threat Trowa presented. It raised its other arm and the casing covering its armaments slid back ready to blast the double gunner away. Underneath a single large barrel showed proving that it was a cannon blaster as they suspected and not a multiple gunner with various barrels.
"Now," Heero yelled to Wufei.
Wufei didn't need further direction. They had already discussed the problem of the suit's armaments. He sent a powerful stream at the suit's elbow. Duo's gunner also aimed for the elbow. The two of them pressed on relentlessly. Trowa didn't waste any time joining them his double guns tore into the barrel's casing purposely damaging the firing mechanism.
It seemed like forever but within seconds the arm went flying away. The suit fought to open the scored casing on its other arm. Trowa wouldn't let it. He blasted along the seam damaging the outer shell even more.
Raymond drove at the suit boldly, anger and hate making him reckless while Trowa's double lazar blasts tore into the suit's other arm scoring the casing till it was almost sealed shut. Jaaku had to turn away to protect its only remaining arm. Sparks and smoke stream from its other side.
Duo's man aimed at the hatch while Wufei went to take out the sensors in the helm. Out gunned the suit back away from the assault. The smell of burnt flesh and metal filled the air leaving an acidic taste in the mouth.
As the suit backed up Heero maneuver his vehicle for Wufei to his best advantage. He could see Duo doing the same for his gunner. Only Trowa's driver was pressing forward no matter how the suit turned. This didn't seem to faze Trowa. He was such an expert gunner that he made up for his driver's carelessness by taking advantage of his closer position. For a second Heero thought they were going to succeed with Duo's threat. They were going to cut Jaaku na up into little pieces and toss it out into space.
"You murdered Mike," Raymond yelled.
Heero looked back at Trowa and his driver. They were even closer. Raymond was forcing Trowa to aim almost directly up.
The widening of Trowa's eyes was the only indication that he might have been alarmed at his closeness to the suit. He sprayed it relentlessly regardless and the suit would not make the mistake of extending its remaining arm again so Trowa tore up the outer sensors as much as possible. He ran his lazars along seams again and again trying to damage the suit
"Raymond," Trowa warned.
They were so close to it that Trowa was now having difficultly getting to hit more strategic spots. However, Raymond didn't stop, he couldn't hear him, seeing the suit that had killed Mike so cruelly. Seeing it now cowering back from their lazars made him bold reckless. He drove even closer relentlessly pressing the suit back.
Before Trowa could warn him again Jaaku na stepped forward. It stepped on the vehicle's forklift pinning it. Raymond tried to back up, he hit reverse and slammed on the gas, the wheels spun burning rubber and the vehicle fishtailed but the small two-pronged platform was lodge well under its foot. They were caught.
"Aim for its knee," Heero yelled. It wasn't a key joint but it was their only chance to help Trowa and Raymond.
The second it was free from the barrage to its upper body Jaaku na quickly swung its remaining arm and casually ripped the top of Trowa's vehicle away crushing his two guns in the process. Trowa ducked barely in time as the lift's cage was torn from the body of the vehicle. If the suit wasn't worried that they would attack its arm it probably could have grabbed Trowa. Instead it quickly pulled back giving Trowa the chance to throw himself from the vehicle.
He was so close to the suit that even with the other lazars he was vulnerable so he did the only thing he could. He ran. As Trowa sprinted away trying to distance himself from the suit he realized that Raymond hadn't followed. Wasting precious seconds Trowa turned and shouted back.
"Raymond run," Trowa said.
His driver had not moved. In his panic the man had reached for his gun. It would have been comical if not for the fact that they all knew that Jaaku na was a killer. The second sweep of the suit's arm ripped the lift in two. It wasn't an even split the front with the forklift, the steering column and the petals stayed under its foot but the cab, three of its wheels and the engine where intact and in Jaaku na's hand.
It held up the vehicle and pulled it close to its face. Raymond was still strapped to the vehicle's chair. He held the gun trembling before him. Jaaku na's mouth opened and he screamed in terror as the horrible metal face drew closer. He started firing wildly screaming at it in defiance.
"Jump," Heero yelled.
They couldn't shoot at the suit while he was there. Heero was sure that the suit knew that. He was sure that was why it stood there holding Raymond captive—taunting them.
Raymond was beyond rational thought. For a second it seemed the suit studied him and then quietly it leaned forward and bite off his whole arm taking away the gun, his shoulder and part of his chest. The move was so smooth and unhurried it seem almost gently. Heero watched as blood sprayed from Raymond's nearly exposed heart. The aorta artery must have been torn in the process because the blood pumped out in spurts across Jaaku na's face.
"Wufei don't let it," Heero choked out.
Raymond's screams came to an abrupt end as his life's blood gushed out. His legs kicked in his death throes as he crumpled back into the driver's seat. Jaaku na was not getting a second bite of Raymond Heero swore to himself—dead or not. It wasn't going to. Wufei he urged silently, do it.
"Eat this you bastard!" Wufei shouted as he hit the vehicle's fuel tank.
The explosion blinded Heero for a second. He was fortunate since the suit retaliated by throwing the flaming vehicle at Duo thinking that since Heero and Wufei blasted it that Duo would be unprepared for its assault.
Duo moved barely dodging the deadly missal. He didn't have to worry about Jaaku coming after him though cause the suit turned and came instead after Heero and Wufei. Now without Trowa guns were they were at a disadvantage.
