The Great Escape
The Next Morning
It was about 5:45 in the morning. The sun was barely visible. So, not everyone on the ship was awake. According to the records, it was said to be the coldest day the colony had experienced. Suddenly, a message came over the intercom.
"Captain Edwards!" a cadet shouted through it, "Sea Goblin has arrived with the prisoners!" he said repeatedly.
As the captain heard the message, he had arose, got dressed and told the cadet, "Roger that!" as he grinned quietly. From his quarters, he made his way to elevator which was blocked by one of the generals from Earth.
"Well, well, well, look who finally woke up!" General Balahndre (ba-lan-dre) said as he laughed. "Did you have a nice sleep?" he continued.
"Don't you have a job to do General Balahndre!" the captain shouted furiously.
"You better watch your attitude. Remember, I've got a rank higher than yours," Balahndre said, mocking the captain.
"Remember, general, you're on my ship. So, be careful, or else," the captain said as he laughed at the general.
The general started to laugh with the captain as he mumbled, "whatever, but I have a higher rank". He then smiled and gave the captain the key to the elevator. Captain Edwards just looked at him and said, "idiot," under his breath. As he entered the elevator, he placed the key into the slot, entered a code and pressed (Deck) 1A. It took the elevator about three-two seconds to reach the top floor of the ship. As soon as the elevator opened, the captain was greeted by a soldier of the rescue team, Sea Goblin.
"Well, sir," one of the soldier said happily, "we've got him!" he said.
The proud soldier led the captain to the helicopter to obtain the prisoner.
"Hmm, well, well, Emperor Nataku Chang, it's a pleasure to see you. My name is…" but before the captain could have said his name, he was interrupted by Nataku.
"You traitor, I'll kill you," the Emperor said furiously.
"Kill me? You must be joking," the captain said as he mocked the emperor. "I have your council, your private guards, and most of your people have been killed. So, there is no way you can kill me!" he continued.
"So, what should we do with him, sir?" the squad leader asked.
"Hmm, place him in the interrogation room. I'll deal with him later," the captain said as he smiled. "So, where's the pilot?" he asked puzzled.
"Pilot, what are you talking about sir?" the squad leader asked.
"The pilot of the Dragon Gundam, where is he?" the captain asked furiously.
"I don't know, he was the only one there," the leader said.
"What?" the captain shouted.
Suddenly, the alarms went off as the captain sighed.
"What's going on?" the leader asked.
The captain suddenly grew angrier. He made his way to the elevator and reported to the bridge. As soon as he got there, 2nd private Hawkins briefed him on the situation.
"Sir, there was an explosion in the Chinese Capital!" Hawkins shouted as he guided the captain to his command chair.
"So, do we know what caused it?" the captain asked.
2nd private Hawkins face turned sad as he replied, "Our new alley's gundam was shot down. We think it was the Dragon Gundam," he continued.
Bloom! Suddenly there was a large thunderous sound and a cloud of smoke appeared on the right side of the colony.
"Sir, the Chinese Colony just jettisoned something!" the private said.
"What is it?" the captain asked.
"It's the Dragon Gundam. It has escaped!" one of the personal said terrified.
"What?" the captain yelled feeling stressed, "We can't let him escape or else we're doomed! All guns, all guns and canons, aim for the Dragon Gundam and SHOOT…IT…DOWN!" he said as he tried to calm down.
The Prometheus, once again, unleashed all its fury upon the Dragon Gundam. Unfortunately, not one of the rounds hit or came close to destroying it. The Dragon Gundam flew from the top to the down of the ship and attacked the weak points of the mighty vessel.
"Damage report, damage report, I need a damage report, stat!" the captain yelled at Hawkins.
"What, what's going on up there? Why are we not returning attack? Is there a problem up there? Captain, I'm going to report you to the board…" the general said until he was knocked unconscious by Hawkins.
"Thanks Hawkins, I owe you one!" the captain said as he smiled. "Place the general in his quarters," he said happily.
Suddenly the captain turned to the general's personal guards and asked them if they wanted to join them or be placed in the brig. It took them a few seconds to reconsider and answered yes. The captain just smiled and said, "All personal, we can't let him escape the engagement zone. SHOOT HIM DOWN!" he ordered. The Prometheus unleashed even more than she did before. Wufei, himself couldn't help believe that a ship of its size could even exist. Then out of nowhere, a hole in space had opened and a shuttle exited it.
"Alright, they're finally here!" Wufei said to himself.
"Captain Wufei, this is Thunderhead. Do you copy?" an officer asked.
"Yeah, I do!" Wufei replied happily.
"This is Thunderhead. Please dock with us at this time. Do you copy?" the officer asked once again.
"Yeah, I read you and docking…now!" Wufei said. "Ok, I'm aligned and ready to dock," he said kind of worried.
Within seconds, Wufei's gundam was in the shuttle. They then departed and left the engagement zone. The mighty vessel had finally stopped firing and the captain grew more and more worried very second that past on the ship. He worried if they were going to attack the mother country or send an armada to destroy the Prometheus. He knew though, that he had to make a choice- whether to stay or not.
