Clash of Titans
Isaiah's POV
I looked around my surroundings to see myself in some kind of ship. I was in my vehicle mode and heard something walking by me. Then I felt myself being lifted into the air. I transformed and attempted to defend myself only to be thrown on to the ground. I looked up to see a pair of yellow eyes. The being lifted up a weapon, igniting it, revealing it to be a saber, plunged it into my chest and-
I woke up with sweat covering my forehead and chest, breathing heavily as I looked at the spot where the saber hit me. Nothing. It was just another nightmare. Tired, distraught, and somewhat thirsty, I got up and walked to the kitchen to pour myself a glass of water. When I did that, I looked outside to see the early dawn rise up. "Look who's awake." I heard a voice similar to mine. I looked around to see Neo standing behind me.
"You know," I said, putting my cup down. "I still haven't gotten used to you appearing out of nowhere." To be honest I hadn't gotten used to living with someone who was exactly like me in every way at all.
"Something's bothering you," Neo continued, "I can tell by the way you're looking at the cup." He was right, I was looking at my cup. I tended to look at things if something was wrong. At the moment, I was thinking of that dream I had. What was it? What did it mean for that matter?
"What's cookin' doc?" Miko inquired as she and the others got up.
"Nothing now," I remarked as she looked at me sluggishly "Other than I enrolled you all at my school now." Miko looked at me in shock as the others woke up.
"What, you put us all in your classes just so you can keep an eye on all of us?" Kicker remarked as he walked into the kitchen. "'Cause if you did, then I will see to it personally that your life is one living hell," He smirked at me as he drank his coffee.
"As a matter of fact, I didn't," I replied as handed them all of their schedules, " I put you all in different classes based on your strengths and weakness." I took a long sip from my cup as they processed this.
"But what about the house?" Miko inquired, bummed out that she couldn't stay home all day and play head-splitting heavy metal all day.
"Gundam, Alyssa, and Alana will watch over the house while we are at school," I replied as I sipped more coffee from the mug.
"Why am I in Spanish 2?" Kicker inquired, "as well as Ceramics 1?" He looked at me as I smirked at him.
"Computer Applications Science?" Rafael wondered, "along with Calculus and AP Government?" He looked at me in confusion as I ate breakfast and put on my backpack.
"I figured if all of you went to the same school I did, I'd be able to keep a closer eye on all of you," I explained as I recalled back the last time I left them alone. The last time I left them alone on a school day resulted in me having to put out a fire that was created by Russell when the kid accidentally drank a chemical solution that he thought was actually fruit punch. The result was him hiccupping fire all over my new rug. I was not amused by this. "During lunch, we can meet each other in the library where we can go over on next moves." I continued. "Any questions?" I asked as I turned to them. They all looked at me with looks of shock and awe. "I thought not," I remarked as we left and met up with Lacus. She was shocked to see not only that Neo and I were primes, but that there were more like us as well.
"So you're Solus Prime?!" she squealed at Miko as they were talking on the bus. Miko looked at me with a look that said Help. I just looked at her with a shrug as I tried to read my book only for us to stop suddenly. All the kids started to go over to our side and look out the windows.
"What's going on?!" I yelled as a foot went in my mouth.
"It looks like ….Gundam?" Miko remarked as she looked out the window. I looked out the window to see what the heck they were talking about. I saw.. Gundam? No this couldn't be her. Whatever it was, it bore a resemblance to the RX-78-2 Gundam rather than her.
"What should we do?!" I heard Kicker scream as I got up. Thinking quickly, I pretended that someone kicked me out the window. I landed on my face and quickly got up to see the full situation. Judging by the looks of it, the Gundam had turned over an armored truck and was getting out its contents.
"Hey!" I screamed without thinking, "Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" The Gundam turned around and looked at me. Its eyes turned from yellow to red. "That can't be good," I commented as it pulled out a gun and aimed at me. It began to fire at me. Crap! I thought as I dodged the blast. I tried to get close to it but ended up getting hit in the chest and land in a dumpster. "No time like the present!" I remarked as I pulled out my badge and turned into Optimus Prime.
The Gundam was continuing to empty the truck when I walked up right behind it and said, "I would ask you to stop whatever it was that you were doing, but it looks like that won't be happening anytime soon." The Gundam turned to me and let go of a box it had picked up.
"Scanning subject," A voice coming from it remarked. I looked at it in confusion. Why was it scanning me? "Subject identified as Optimus Prime." Really? It scanned me just to tell the obvious?! "Objective completed," It continued, "Switching to primary objective: Destroy Optimus Prime!" It put itself in a fighting position.
"Ah man!" I commented, pulling out my sword and shield, "Here I was hoping we'd become friends," I sighed, "Guess not." I charged at the Gundam and as it just stood there in the stance. I attempted to slice at it only to get a shock as it slid to the side and appear right behind me. I looked up and received a sharp blow to my back, sending me to the ground. I got up only to get a laser bolt to my chest. The backlash sent me flying across the street, causing me to smash a hot dog stand. "Aw man," I remarked, "I just had my armor waxed."
"Then next time, you should make sure that you're a lot more careful." Kicker remarked as he, Miko, Neo, and Russell flew in. "Throwing your fists wildly isn't going to help it."
"You are not the primary target," The Gundam commented, "Primary target must be left alone." It put up a gun and prepared to fire at us.
"Move!" I screamed as I dodge the blast that came from the beam rifle. "If it's me it wants, then let it have me!' I charged toward the Gundam as it pulled out 2 beam sabers from its back and began to charge at me. Thinking fast, I pulled out my shield and blocked them as I slid under him and fired at it only for it to kick my chin and use one of it rocket boots to ignite in my face. I jumped back several paces and fired my ion blaster except for the Gundam to deflect it right back at me. 'Crap!" I screamed as I lied on the ground, the Gundam approaching me. I slowly stood up as it continued to walk to me. I knew what I had to do: if this thing wanted me, then so be it. "Hey!" I screamed at the mech, "Why do you want me dead so badly?"
The Gundam stopped walking. Then a distorted voice started coming out of it. "I was wondering when you would ask that."
"Who are you?" I inquired as I tried to stall for time. "Why do you want me dead?" I looked at Kicker who was flying right behind it, ready to fire when the time was right.
"There are 2 answers to that question," the voice replied, "One: for money. Two: what better way to test this new weapon than to pit it against the ultimate machine, Optimus Prime! As for who I am…" The voice seemed to pause for a moment as if it was thinking how to respond to this comment. "Let's just say I'm just one of many people who want to be the killer of Optimus Prime," The Gundam cocked its head as it were the one speaking, "I'm afraid this is Goodbye, Optimus!" The Gundam raised its beam cannon and was about to fire when Kicker fired at the mech, causing it to explode.
"Thanks," I remarked as Solus looked at the remains of the mech. "If you hadn't shot the mech just in time, I would've been a pile of scrap right then and there."
"I didn't do it for your benefit," Kicker replied, "I did it so we could get out of here."
"What do you mean by that?" I inquired as I looked at him. He shot me a venomous look when I asked this.
"In case you've forgotten," He replied, "We have school to attend."
CRAP! I'd forgotten all about that! "We need to leave, guys!" I shouted toward the others as the looked the remains of the machine. "We're gonna be late!"
Realizing what I meant, the others transformed into their vehicle and beast mode(s) and sped off to join our classmates.
Neo's POV
"Just what was that?" Russell inquired as we drove onto school property.
"Probably just some crackpot who had nothing better to do," Miko replied, "It's probably nothing." We turned back into ourselves as we walked into the school building.
"I wouldn't be too sure about that, Miko" I replied, "That guy we were facing off against didn't seem like any crackpot I've ever seen." The others seemed confused by this.
"He's right," Isaiah replied, "Whoever it was isn't your everyday bank robber. No, We're clearly dealing with someone who has a motive and has the means to carry that out." I was about to add onto this when we all heard a familiar voice behind us.
"I see you got some new friends, 4" Bethany commented as we turned around to face her. "What's with the new friends, 4? Did Lacus finally get tired of you?" I turned toward Isaiah to see how he was holding up. I could see the anger in his eyes.
"I'd advise you to stop your insults, Ms. Ogawa," I said as I stepped in between of her and Isaiah. "Any further insults will possibly result in unneeded conflict." Bethany looked at me with a look of confusion before changing it to a look of curiosity.
"Who might you be?" She inquired with a sort of odd tone in her voice, "I don't think we've ever met before." I stared at her for a little bit before the bell rang. "I'll see you around…" She commented playfully before walking to her first class.
"What was that?" Miko inquired as we watched Bethany walk away from us. "I thought for a moment that we were going to have a Mexican standoff on our hands!" Raf, Isaiah, and I all glared at her when she made that comment.
"Not cool…" Isaiah commented before walking to his first class.
"Sorry….." Miko replied as we all separated to attend our classes. My first class of the day was Economics. I hated Economics. It was a really boring class with no purpose and a complete waste of time in my opinion. Today was about Production costs and all that kind of stuff. After that class, I went to my Spanish 3 class where we learned some new Spanish words and for our homework, we had to write an essay on a Spanish speaking country. For Art, We just had to paint landscapes using nothing but tints and shades of secondary colors. For the 4th period, I was a TA for an English Class. I didn't really get any work for me when the bell rang, signifying me to go to lunch. I went to the library as Isaiah had instructed us to. I walked into the library and looked around to see if Isaiah and the others were here. I noticed them when Miko said, "Neo! Over here!" I walked over to the table that had them sitting around it.
"First order of business," Isaiah began as he pulled out a file with a lot of info, "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED OUT THERE?!" He screamed at us. "We were supposed to have a normal school day! How is that we always end up with the worst things in the wrong place at the wrong time!?" He pounded his head on the table while saying, "Serenity now….."
"On an official note," I remarked, " Anyone who saw the fight between the Primes and the Gundam would know that we're not dealing with some average lunatic."
"It looks like we're looking at someone who has the motivation and the mean to carry that motive out." Kicker commented.
"I remember seeing that fight," Lacus commented, "It seemed like as if our mystery man had the smarts to watch your fights and actually learned from where the others had failed."
"If that's the case," Jack said as he looked at the info that Isaiah had, "Then not only is Isaiah in trouble but so are the rest of you guys!" We looked at Jack as he continued, "There is a possible solution to this, however-" But before he could say what that solution was, we were interrupted by a loud boom.
"What was that?!" I screamed as we tried to see what the heck was going on. "Sounded like a bomb went off!"
"There's someone at the front of the school with some weird robot!" One kid screamed. WHAT?!
"They're back!" I exclaimed as we grabbed our stuff and ran into the nearest empty room and screamed, "PRIME WITHIN, AWAKEN!" We all exited out of the building and ran out to face this threat. I didn't expect it to be this….
Miko's POV
I did not expect to see this. A human-sized killing machine floating in the air, definitely, but not this. The person that was with the Gundam, Not so much. It was like I saw a ghost. That.. face….
"It can't be…" I heard Jack whisper, "I saw her…. Turn to dust….." I felt the same way about seeing….. Her…..
"Sierra…" I whispered as I looked at her in shock. Sierra was a girl that I remember meeting a while back when Jack, Raf, and I first met the Autobots. I would often tease Jack about having a crush on her. But as soon Unicron began to rise from his long slumber, everyone started to die off. Poor Jack. He never got to tell Sierra his feelings about her.
"You look like you just saw a ghost Solus Prime," Sierra commented as she looked at us with malicious intent. "But you're not why I'm here." She began walking toward us until she stopped in front of Kicker. "So you're the one who trashed my beloved child." She made a tsk sound and continued walking until she stopped in front of Isaiah, "You on the other hand…" she comment, licking her lips as if he was some kind of candy, "You are one hell of a guy…"
"What do you want?" Isaiah asked. "I know for a fact that you didn't come here just for show."
Sierra stopped looking at him and then walked back to where her mech was standing. "What I want is a simple test to prove that my babies are more powerful than you are," She lifted a finger and pointed at Isaiah. "If you can beat my babies with ease," she began, "I'll leave this quiet little city alone."
"And if I can't?" Isaiah inquired. I looked into his eyes and saw a look that I had seen before. It was the look that Optimus would have in his optics whenever he already knew the answer to a question he didn't like. I could tell that he was the same way.
"If you lose…." Sierra replied, licking her lips even more sadistically, "Then I'll dissect your corpse and use it for further scientific research." She spoke that last word as if she had a more sinister meaning behind it.
Isaiah looked at her for a long time before giving his answer. "Yes," he replied, "I accept your terms…"
"Perfect!" Sierra squealed in delight, "Meet me at the old Fresno Grizzlies Stadium at around 5:00 pm tomorrow!" She giggled. "I just know the whole world would love to see this fight!" She walked in front of her Gundam, held up her arms, and was covered by the Gundam as if it was an iron man suit. With that, she flew away.
School was canceled for the rest of the day, and the confrontation was all the rage and talk all day. News reporters were swarming all over us, asking us questions that we had no answers for.
When we got home that day, Isaiah immediately went to his secret lab and didn't come out for a while. "How do you think he is right now?" Gundam asked us as we heard something clang and some very strong language being said.
"Not very well," was my reply.
"It would be best if someone were to go down there and talk to him" Neo commented as he looked at me. "I think as of right now it would be best if you went down there and talked to him."
"Why should I?" I inquired, "Why don't you talk to him instead? He's bound to listen to himself!" He glared at me and brought himself down to my eye level.
"Isaiah is less likely to listen to me because if there's one thing he never does, it's listening to himself," Neo explained.
"And how would you know this?" I asked. At that moment, everyone in the room looked at me like I was some kind of idiot. That's when I remembered, "Oh. That's right. You are him. Or at least, a copy of him."
"If you don't go down there and talk to him," Neo whispered in my ear, "I'm gonna have to get..sarcastic."
I gulped when he said this, "I suddenly have the urge to go down to the basement and talk to Isaiah!" Something told me that Neo being sarcastic was not good.
"That's the spirit, kiddo," Neo responded as Alana walked by us with a sandwich.
She stopped for a moment, looked at the 2 of us, and said, "you two sound like an old married couple."
Neo and I looked at each for a moment, then looked at Alana and screamed together, "WE'RE NOT A COUPLE!"
Alana shrugged at this notion before walking off, muttering "Keep telling yourselves that."
Isaiah's POV
"FUCK!" I screamed as I hit the table with my fist. This was not working out for me at all! I was working on something that could potentially give me an edge against the Gundam that the girl was putting me up against. So far, it was all a complete failure. Nothing seemed to be working at all.
"Hey," a voice whispered. I turned around threw my wrench at where the voice was. It was lucky that I missed, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" Miko screamed at me, "YOU COULD HAVE FREAKING KILLED ME!"
"Would have done myself a favor if I did so." I replied, "At least then I would have had some peace and quiet to focus on tomorrow's battle!" I slammed my hands on the table.
"You seriously don't mean that!" Miko replied, "I came here to talk to you about that fight that's happening tomorrow!" I got up from my workspace, rolled up my blueprints, put on my coat and hat, and was walking away from her as she said, "Where do you think you're going?!"
"To someplace where I can think in peace!" I screamed as I pulled out my badge, transformed, and rolled out to Woodwork park.
"DAMMIT!" I screamed as I hit my fist on the ground. "WHY CAN'T I SEEM TO MAKE ANYTHING WORK!"
"That's a side of Optimus Prime that I've never seen before." I heard a voice say behind me. I turned around and saw Bethany in a jogging uniform.
"Why are you here?" I inquired. I didn't want her to be here right now.
"Out for a jog," Was her reply, "I'm guessing that you're trying to prepare yourself for that Gundam fight." She walked toward me. I began to tense up as a way of showing her that I didn't want to be messed with right now. "Quit the tough guy act already," She commented, "I can easily see through it."
I relaxed a bit, sort of disgusted at the fact that she saw through me. "So," I began.
"So what?" she asked.
"So are you going to do your job?" I asked back, "You know, ask me questions about the fight? How do I feel? Am I scared?" Bethany shot me a look.
"I can get those answers just by looking at you." She replied, "You are scared of tomorrow's fight because of what might go down."
"Cleverly deduced," I replied, not looking at her. "I see that you're not always obsessed with Journalism."
"I can see that something else is bothering you." She commented as I looked at her. She jerked her head toward a pathway in the park. "Come walk with me."
"I believe if I took a different form it would make us look inconspicuous," I remarked as I turned on my holomatter avatar.
"Whoa!" Bethany commented as she looked at my avatar. I chose something that wouldn't draw much attention. "YOU LOOK AMAZING!"
I had short blue hair along with black glasses, a red shirt with markings of my chest as Prime, blue jeans, and finally, black Nike shoes.
"You look like someone I know," She remarked, looking closely at me. "It doesn't matter anyway," She shook her head as she thought about this, "He doesn't like me anyway."
This piqued my curiosity, "What do you mean this boy doesn't like you?" I inquired.
"Well," she began before going into deep thought. "I guess I'm kind of mean to him…." She sighed as we began walking, "It's just that I sort of have feelings for him and I struggle to express my feelings. As a result, whenever I want to show my feelings, I get these insecurities about myself, I get these questions like, what if he doesn't like me? Or what if he has feelings for someone else?" She stopped for a moment, "That's when it all goes to hell, and then I end up hurting him."
I was silent this whole time. That when I decided to help her out. "Ms. Ogawa," I began, putting my hand on her shoulder, "I'm not really good at expressing feelings myself. I mean, I wasn't able to properly express my feelings for a certain female Autobot before the war on my home planet began," I thought about how I was with my then-girlfriend, Elita-1, her light blue optics, her pink color-scheme, her somewhat yandere behavior whenever she saw me with a bad injury. I smiled as I thought about when I first met her:
I was walking home from my job at the Archives when I stopped at my daily rest stop at Macadam's oil grill. "Orion!" I heard the bartender, Macadam, say as I walked into the bar, "I already got your special ready for you!" I smiled as he said this. "Carbonated Engex," He said, "Just the way you like it!" I grabbed my drink and sat in my favorite booth.
I was sipping my Engex when I heard a voice say, "Orion!" I looked up to see my friends Jazz and Dion standing there with smiles on their faces. Jazz worked as a Health Inspector while Dion was a cargo holder for the local shipping company.
"What's going on, Orion?" Jazz asked me as he ordered some Nightmare Fuel and Dion ordered Weapons Grade Nucleon. "Other than the usual."
"Don't know," I replied, sipping my Engex, "Heard that the latest episodes of RWBY Volume 6 came out today," Dion rolled his optics, he knew how much I was into Anime. Especially RWBY. (Jazz liked it too, although he wouldn't admit the fact that he secretly had a crush on Road Rage, the protagonist of RWBY.)
"You and your anime, Orion… " Dion muttered as he took a sip of his drink. That was when some bot named Magnum, who was usually drunk, came and knocked over Jazz's Nightmare Fuel. Jazz got mad and was ready to pummel him until I shot him a look. That changed when he knocked over my Engex.
"Excuse me, Magnum," I said, tapping his shoulder. He turned toward me with a stupid look on his face. He towered over me when it came to height.
"Whaddya want?" he growled. I looked at him in the optic. "I said WHADDYA WANT?!" He threw a table over and put up his fists, ready to fight me. I looked around in panic, only to everyone chanting fight, including Jazz and Dion.
"What's going on?!" I heard a feminine voice say. I turned my head and saw a pink fembot with long pink and cat ears on her head. "I asked you a question and I expect you to have an answer for me!" she said, grabbing Magnus by the arm and twisting him by the servo. When he didn't answer, she threw him and looked at me. I expected her to do the same thing to me except she held out a servo and helped me up. "Don't let this guy give you any trouble okay?" she commented. I looked at her in the optics.
"Optimus." I heard Bethany say. I snapped out of my walk in memory lane.
"Yeah?" I responded.
"What do you think I should do?" She inquired. "I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get this guy to like me."
I thought about this for a moment. How would I get someone to like me? That's when I had an idea. "For one," I began. "I think it would be best if you did a kind thing for him every now and then, like if he drops a book, then pick it up for him. Or if he forgets his stuff, then bring it to him. After a while, he might respect, even like you!" Bethany seemed to smile at this.
"Thanks, Optimus." She remarked. "Here's a little something for helping me with my problem." She stood on her and kissed me on the mouth. "Good luck on the fight tomorrow!" She said as she went back to her jog.
I suddenly felt calm all of a sudden. That was when I realized what I had to do. What I should do.
The Next Day…
"Here we go," I whispered to myself as I was driving to the stadium. "It's now or never…."
Miko and the others were not so sure. "Maybe you should reconsider the challenge," Miko commented through her avatar, (to make us look inconspicuous, we all had our holomatter avatars on except for Russell) "Maybe postpone it or something. Or call in sick!"
"There is no other way," I replied as we drove into the parking lot. "I've run it over thousands of times in my head and there is the only outcome to this: Fight the mech." We all stopped in front of the stadium and transformed.
"On the bright side," Kicker commented, "we get free popcorn and drinks during the fight." Miko smacked him on the head.
"What the hell?!" She scolded, "We're here to support him, not turn this fight into some kind of Super Bowl Commercial!" Alissa, Alana, and Gundam were running up to us when something crossed my mind: Everyone in the world would be watching this fight. That only meant one thing: Lacus would sit next to me, knowing her, and Bethany would sit next to us as well. So the question was: Who was going to be impersonating me? I looked at Russell, who was talking to Alyssa and Alana about what was going on. That was when I had an idea.
"Russell," I said. He turned to me.
"Yeah?" He asked, confused.
"Can you do me a favor?" I asked.
Russell's POV
First off, let me say this: The contacts itch a lot. Also, why do I always get the short end of the straw? Anyway, I walked toward where Lacus would be and sat down right next to her. "You're really Russell, right," Lacus asked. I nodded in response.
"At the moment call me Isaiah, please," I remarked as Bethany and Brielle sat down next to us.
"Do you think Optimus has a chance?" I asked.
"If I know, Optimus," Lacus replied, "He'll never give in when his back's to the wall."
Bethany looked at Lacus, "Did you seriously make a reference to Stan Bush's The Touch?"
Lacus shrugged, "I like Car Robots!"
I just shook my head as the rest of the group sat down next to us. "Where's that one kid?" Bethany noticed, "The one with the brown hair and the blue jacket?"
"Oh," Miko replied, "Russell's probably at the house watching the fight right now." I relaxed a bit. Miko whispered in my ear, "You owe me one."
That was when the fight was about to begin. In the arena was a man wearing a referee uniform who was speaking in a microphone. He laid out all of the rules of how the fight was going to be. It was a really long list so I'll just give you the important version:
No fighting until the signal was given.
Special attacks were allowed, but they cannot hit the audience
Intentionally attacking the audience would result in an automatic forfeit
Transformations were allowed, however, the user must be able to control themselves in that state (No Cybertron Mode)
Items were allowed, however, the item has to be in the arena for them to use it.
Finally, the fight would end if one of the contestants said, "Uncle" or if they were reduced to a pile of scrap
Isaiah and the Gundam faced each other in the arena. That girl who created the Gundam was sitting in the bleachers as well but had a look of concern on her face different from the look she had yesterday. Something told that there was something more to this fight than what met the eye.
"Begin!" The referee shouted from a safe distance. It snapped me back to reality as I focused on the fight.
"Do it, RX-78-2!" The girl screamed.
The Gundam threw its head and roared for the first time. It then flew really fast toward Isaiah, who put himself into a fighting stance. The Gundam threw a punch at him, only for it to be blocked by Isaiah's shield. Judging by the look on his face, Isaiah was in some serious trouble. He looked like he barely could hold that guy. The Gundam then grabbed his shield and broke it in half. It grabbed Isaiah by the face, slammed him into the wall, then ran while his face was in the wall before throwing him into the air. Isaiah landed on the ground and got back up soon afterward. He pulled out his sword and charged at the Gundam.
That Gundam was ready for this and pulled out a beam saber. The two blades collided, causing a great gust of wind to form around them. Everyone held up their arms to block the dust that came up from the match, "This is intense!" Bethany remarked, "I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up destroying the outside of the arena!"
"Yeah," I replied, holding my wig to my head, "I wouldn't be surprised either." Isaiah drew his sword back as the Gundam swung its saber at him. Isaiah deflected it with his sword and fired his blaster at it. The Gundam blocked it and cut Isaiah's foot. I saw in the corner of my eye Neo wincing in pain. That's right. I thought Whatever pain Isaiah feels, Neo feels it as well and vice and versa. I turned my attention back to the fight. If Neo starts coughing up blood, I thought as the Gundam was hit by some of Isaiah's leg tires. Then we'll know Isaiah is in some serious trouble.
The Gundam then started firing some laser beams, which Isaiah avoided with ease. Isaiah made the same move but the Gundam covered it with its shield. Isaiah hid behind some debris which got destroyed immediately. He fired at the Gundam and managed to hit its right leg. That was when the girl screamed, "You're pretty impressive, Optimus Prime!" She smirked, "However, let's see if you can deal with its Newtype program!"
"Newtype program?" I inquired. What the heck was that?
"What?!" Lacus exclaimed, "She programmed that into the Gundam?!"
"What's that?" Miko inquired. I was curious about it too. I didn't want to blow my cover, however.
"A Newtype program is a program that predicts an opponent's movements and counters them!" Rafael explained, "You could say it gives them a sort of future sight. It's only been tested and the results were terrifying!"
The Gundam aimed at Isaiah and hit him, causing him to fly toward the wall, with it following behind attacking Isaiah with its shield. However, Isaiah punched the Gundam's rifle away used his axe as the Gundam used its beam saber to defend itself. "Vile Machine!" Isaiah growled, "I have been in battle for countless eons!" Isaiah broke the stalemate and drop kicked the Gundam away. He then charged towards the Gundam. The Gundam tries to punch Isaiah, but he dodged to the side before transforming into vehicle mode and ramming the Gundam. Isaiah then swung his ax to destroy the Gundam, but it's Newtype program kicked in again, allowing it to block the attack at the cost of its shield. It then takes out its second beam saber, knocking Isaiah back with it and then throwing one as a Beam Javelin, which hit Isaiah square in the chest. The Gundam then charged to attack Isaiah again.
Neo began to cough up blood. "Neo!" Miko commented as she came to his rescue, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Neo snapped back, "You need to worry about Optimus!"
"Not today!" Isaiah remarked as he fired his Ion Blaster at the ground behind the Gundam, sending it flying towards him, allowing him to strike the Gundam and send it flying away, before removing the beam javelin from his chest. The Gundam's beam rifle strikes its head as it's flying away, which the Gundam then grabs. Only one shot left… I thought as the fighting grew intense.
The Gundam took aim and fired, hitting him square on and destroying the ground layer the two were fighting on. Isaiah jumped up before being hit by some large debris. "No... NO!" Everyone sitting next to me screamed.
As Isaiah was falling, he ended up falling straight into the Gundam, who is similarly sent falling into the ground. The two robots enter the now exposed sewer system, with the Gundam reaching the ground first.
The girl made a face of disgust, "Ugh…" she went, "I hate gravity…"
The mech then looked to the side where Isaiah landed, his impact creating a dust cloud which obscured its vision. Its Newtype program kicked in, alerting it to Isaiah jumping out of the cloud and firing his Ion Blaster. However, the Gundam couldn't react in time and it gets hit. The Gundam then took out its one remaining Beam Saber and lept towards Isaiah, slicing through the Ion Blaster. However, he took the opportunity to counter and starts relentlessly punching and kicking the Gundam as it tries to fight back. The Gundam then backed away and sees Isaiah coming from above with his ax. Isaiah barely avoids the hit and stabs through Isaiah's arm with its beam saber before punching him, knocking Isaiah to the ground.
"Not bad…" The Gundam commented as it approached Isaiah and lifted him by the head, preparing to finish him off. "I'm just better."
Isaiah, however, had one last trick up his sleeve and starts reaching towards his chest piece. "I must stand…" he groaned, "so you shall fall!" He opened his chest piece and unleashes a giant energy blast from the Matrix of Leadership, striking the Gundam clean through the chest. The Gundam let out a final cry as a massive explosion occurs. Once the dust clears, Isaiah was seen standing over the only thing left of his foe: The Gundam's head.
Everyone was quiet for a moment. We were all shocked for a moment. Then everyone erupted into applause. I sighed for a moment until I locked eyes with Neo. He made a motion with his hand over his head, making me realize that my real hair was showing. I put my hand on top of my head, holding the wig down.
Kicker's POV
I ran down to where Isaiah was to see if he was okay. Not that it mattered to me. "You okay?" I asked. He seemed to be panting really hard.
"I'm fine, Kicker…." he groaned before collapsing on the floor. He then got up from the ground, picked up a blaster and pointed it at the Gundam's head. He was ready to pull the trigger when he said, "You... one without mercy, now plead for it?" What was he talking about? "I thought you were made of sterner stuff…." He pulled the trigger, blowing up the Gundam's head. I looked up in the stands to where I saw that girl. She didn't look upset or anything. She looked….. calm. Our eyes locked for a moment, she just smirked and walked off.
"What was that?" I asked as the rest joined us. Everyone had left except for us Primes.
"How is he?" Miko inquired, looking at Isaiah's battered form.
"He says he's doing fine," I replied. "I think otherwise." That was when Isaiah transformed back into himself and collapsed.
"That was a fun fight…" He commented, "Maybe, I can fight it again someday…."
Miko smiled at him as we turned into Primes. Neo then picked up his body and put it inside his trailer. With that, we all drove off to where our headquarters were…
So that's it! The Gundam was the warrior that Isaiah would be fighting. Anyways, I wanted to thank you all for waiting for this new chapter to come up. I am sorry for all of the delays. Next Chapter: Miko will talk to Lacus and Bethany about how they met Isaiah. That's right. The next one will be about Isaiah's origins. I have also had some plot bunnies running around my head lately and can't decide whether or not if the next project will be a crossover of Dragonball and Justice League or a RWBY and Superman crossover. PM me or leave a review to me your opinion.
Til all are one!
