Chapter 32- Hijacked Gundam!

*Planeptune Basilicom*

"Deucalion to G Gundam! Come in, G Gundam!" A distressed voice sounded from G Gundam's hip!

Pressing her belt buckle, the brunette answered. "Copy, Deucalion! What's the sitrep?"

"Your unit's been remotely hijacked!" came the reply. "It's heading toward the city! Wing is moving to intercept as we speak!"

"What the hell?!" Blanc cried in shock. "I thought your damn robots couldn't be hacked by us!"

"But... w-what about that witch that ended up in our territory?!" Asseylum pointed out.

"MAGES.?!" Vert realized. "But- why would she do such a thing?!"

"We can figure that out later!" Noire insisted. "Right now, we have to protect the people in Neptune's stead!"

"I will offer my assistance as well," Neon said.

"I'll go get Uzume and Dragon Ball!" John ran off.

"Wait!" Histoire called after him. "I could easily contact Uzume myself... oh, he's already gone."

"If I were a bit younger, I'd try to help, too..." Urusei lamented.

"You can help get everyone else to the basement, then!" Noire suggested.

"Well, let's get this damn show on the road already!" Blanc cried, heading off to find a window where they could transform and fly through...

*In the skies above Planeptune City...*

Fortunately, the worst G Gundam's robot had done so far was punch random holes in high-rises, occasionally dropping to street level to crush parked vehicles underfoot...

"This is Wing! I have visual contact!" Wing Gundam said as he rocketed toward's the other robot's position. "It's causing all kinds of property damage... no confirmation of civilian casualties yet."

"Try to disable it without destroying it outright!" the Deucalion's captain radioed back. "The technicians are working on trying to disable the hacker's control!"

"Roger that!" Wing acknowledged. "Engaging rogue robot!" His mecha pulled the trigger on it's machine gun, pelting G Gundam's robot with a hail of bullets! While they caused no discernible damage, they did get the robot's attention, rising into the air as it turned to face it's counterpart. (This won't be easy... G specifically had her robot made to put a stop to mine if I ever snapped or got brainwashed...) But whoever was controlling the robot now wasn't G, and therefore likely had little idea of it's full capabilities...

But they did know one of it's most dangerous abilities, it's right hand glowing brightly as it charged Wing, only for the pilot to expertly weave out of it's path! Again, Wing opened fire, but once more the large bullets ricocheted off with little effect... (Dammit, this isn't working!) he thought in frustration, as G's robot turned to face him again-

-only to be suddenly assaulted by several pointed green energy projectiles! Wing's rearview camera revealed the perpetrator- an extremely busty green-haired woman with mechanical wings and a spear in hand! (Goddess Green Heart!) Wing realized, seeing White Heart and Black Heart joining her as well.

"Looks like we made it in time," Black Heart observed.

"It appears there is only moderate property damage so far," Neon said as she joined the CPUs in her true angelic form. Her ears then perked up as Wing started talking from his robot's external speakers in a language incomprehensible to all but herself...

"What the hell is he saying?!" White Heart demanded.

"He says to try and attack from behind, it's a blind spot for whoever's hijacking it!" Neon translated, moderating her volume so the robot couldn't hear. "He'll try to keep it occupied!"

"Got it!" White Heart promptly flying around and downward, slamming her axe into small of the robot's back, leaving a visible scratch! "Damn, figures this wouldn't be easy..." Black Heart then came in a slashed a few times with her own oversized blade, but she only left scratches on the hull as well!

"Tell me, can you do anything other than your force field?" Green Heart inquired to Neon as they flew behind the robot.

"I can!" the angelic alien nodded, holding out her right hand and gathering power... "Lady Blanc, Lady Noire, get clear!" The two CPUs promptly flew out of harm's way as Neon let loose with a cross-shaped energy blast, nailing G Gundam's robot dead-on, causing it to pitch forward and get slammed by an uppercut from Wing's robot! The enemy robot promptly launched into the air, turning to face Neon...

"I think you got it's attention!" Green Heart noted as the giant robot flew at them, she and Neon barely flying out of the line of fire!

"Watch out when it's hand glows!" Wing called to them. "It goes through titanium like a hot knife through butter!"

"Understood!" Green Heart nodded, watching as G's robot turned and flew at her again... "Sylhet Spear!" The giant lance hit the robot in it's upper left arm, causing it to spiral out of control and crash into the side of a high rise!

"Watch it, Vert!" White Heart yelled. "There's innocent people in these buildings!"

"I know that, but we don't have much room to maneuver!" Green Heart shouted back as the robot righted itself, leaving a sizable dent in the building it had slammed into.

"I know how to get it out of the city!" Dragon Ball cried as she flew onto the scene in Super Saiyan form. "But, we need to keep it busy for a minute, Uzume's getting into position as we speak! Then I can use my Instant Transmission to warp it out of here!"

"An excellent idea!" Green Heart nodded. "But, I think we can go one better! Could you warp to Neptune and little Nepgear first, and see if you can get Haruhi as well? And then tell them this..."

*Speaking of Neptune and Nepgear...*

"UWAAAAAAHHHH!" Peashy cried, having reverted to her child form, tears gushing out of her eyes as Purple Heart spanked her repeatedly! "Pea's sorryyyyy!"

"This is what you get for being a bad girl!" Purple Heart scolded her, a few claw marks visible on her body, one of her twin braids having been chopped in half. Meanwhile, Nepgear was kneeling nearby, having reverted to normal herself, down on one knee and panting heavily, her sailor uniform torn in a few spots. After a few more smacks, Purple Heart set Peashy back on her feet. "Now say sorry to Nepgear!"

"P-Pea's sorry, Gear...!" Peashy sobbed, nursing her sore rear end.

"Apology... accepted..." Nepgear gave a small nod, grateful for her healing magic... those claw slashes had hurt, even if Yellow Heart was no longer powered by infinite Shares from Eden... But then she screamed in surprise as Dragon Ball abruptly appeared before her! "W-what the goodness! Don't scare me like that, DB!"

"Sorry about that," Dragon Ball muttered, turning to Purple Heart. "Lady Neptune, we have an emergency situation in your nation..." She then explained what happened...

"G Gundam's giant robot was hijacked?!" Nepgear gasped in disbelief. "B-but how is that even possible?!"

"Ah, now I see," Purple Heart noted grimly. "Underling sicced P-ko here on us as a distraction... it must be Ho-Hum behind the hijacking!"

"Huh?!" Peashy gasped. "B-but... Pea didn't know that! Pea had no idea!" She looked about to burst into tears again, only for Neptune to grab her in a reassuring embrace.

"It's not your fault, P-ko," Purple Heart insisted. "That punk lady tricked you, she's the one at fault here, not you..."

"If it makes you feel any better, Peashy, Rom was also used by Underling as her minion for a short while, until we freed her," Nepgear said.

"Anyway, Nepgear, Lady Vert said something about you having a giant robot of your own?" Dragon Ball asked.

"Uh... well, yeah, I do, but it's in Leanbox right now!" Nepgear explained. "There's no way we could get it back to Planeptune in time!"

"Lady Li- (ahem) Lady Haruhi can take care of that," Dragon Ball insisted. "So, I'll take you back to Lastation Basilica..."

"Basilicom."

"R-right, and then I'll head back to Planeptune alone..." DB then jerked her head up. "Oops, that Uzume's signal, she's in position! We need to get moving, grab my hand!"

"I wanna come too! Pwease?" Peashy pleaded. "I wanna see the giant robot!"

"...Alright, but you stay right next to me, okay P-ko?" Purple Heart instructed.

"Okay, Neptuna!" Peashy nodded as the three grabbed onto Dragon Ball, the group promptly teleporting away...
