In the main hall where stood Ciel together with Zero and God Gundam, Ciel wanted to ask for help from both of them to help out the Resistance cause, Ciel can only hope they can accept this dangerous task and wish their safety.
"Alright, you both arrive. Once again I thank you for saving me and decide to join us, I wanted to let you both rest, however I have urgent request for both of you." Ciel take a deep breath and continue.
"I want both of you to rescue one of our comrades who are going to retire soon at the Disposal Center today and destroy it if possible." She hold out a remote control device and pressed a button, reveals a hologram of the area, showing the security, layout and also several Reploids shown shaking, when the camera move upwards saw a ceiling with spikey thorns on it.
"Wait, is that…?" before God Gundam finish, the ceiling drop down to the poor Reploids who framed being Mavericks, the Reploids scream in terror as they were crushed alive by the gruesome execution. The guillotine lifted up, reveal the Reploids had been crushed like some scrap junks, some of them had their face Gundam and Zero can only witness with eyes widen in surprise and disgust.
Ciel look away when the execution happen, she continues "That is the Disposal machine, used to scrap dead Mavericks for recycle, but now the Neo Arcadian started this campaign of retirement, many innocent Reploids had perish by that." Zero grip hard his hand, can't not believe something like this happening when he was in stasis, he can't believe someone let this thing happen on every Reploids.
Ciel is sadden by the poor Reploids who were executed, if they had enough firepower to withstand the Neo Arcadian forces, she would have their men to destroy any Disposal facility and save as many Reploids from them, but the Neo Arcadian forces had more supplies and firepower than the Resistance, many of her comrade had lost as well as the innocent Reploids.
"We fought against them so long, but the Neo Arcadian forces is heavily armed and had more firepower than us, all we can do is take any Reploid refugee's and disrupt their supplies." After Ciel finish her words, Zero and Ciel jumped from a sudden loud sound, when both of them look around they saw God Gundam punch a wall, resulting a huge crack on it.
"Hey, are you all right?" Zero approach God Gundam cautiously, when Zero almost put his hand on God Gundam's shoulder, he's entire body shaking, Zero back away his hand from it and Ciel walk and stood nearby Zero, both of them look each other and look back at God Gundam.
"God Gundam, are you all right? Does your hand hurt?" Ciel asked in concern.
"….." God Gundam stand in silence, this causing both of them slight panic as they don't know what happening to him, suddenly God Gundam punch the wall again, causing both Zero and Ciel jumped at the loud impact, God Gundam punch several times again until the wall breaks down into a huge hole which can possible fit a truck.
Zero cover Ciel from any small bricks destroyed because of God Gundam punch, but what worries them is White Reploid itself, God Gundam later roar in anger and stomp hardly on the ground, causing the ground break.
"God Gundam! Calm yourself down! I know you're angry about that execution but don't let that make you go berserk like a Maverick!" Zero shout at God Gundam, carrying Ciel away from the stomp impact and landed far away from it. God Gundam look at them in fury, if possible his looks can kill if that were happen, Zero and Ciel only shudder at it, it almost as if he's gone Maverick.
God Gundam remains still, looking down on the ground for few moments, Zero start approaching him but Ciel grab his hand. "Be careful, Zero." Ciel said with concern, Zero nodded to her and begin his approach, he walk slowly towards God Gundam, halfway through he saw God Gundam places his right palm on his face.
"God Gundam?" Zero asked with slight concern tone, he tried to reach out his hand to grab his shoulder, at first he stop but after few seconds he manage to placed his hand on God Gundam's shoulder, Zero notice he's tense up and relax, he sigh himself. Zero tilt his head in confusion, God GUndam just chuckle at it.
"I'm fine now, Zero. Sorry for sudden outburst." He moved his palm from his face, showing small grin at Zero. "You know, the way you tilt your head just now looks like a cat, bwahahahahaha!" with that Zero flush in embarrassment, he brushed it off quick and return it with death glare.
"I'm not a cat!" Zero argue back, the way he argue back make God Gundam laugh again, reminds him of some drama where a girl getting teased and fumed over it that kind of thing, God Gundam never thought he can see that in Zero. He burst out loudly and he feel something touching his head, God Gundam open his eyes and scream in fear like a girl when a gunshot echo in the hall.
God Gundam drop to the ground,stare at Zero in fear as Zero blow the smoke from his Z Buster, he look at God Gundam and glare at him. "Finish laughing?" he asked while he aim again at God Gundam who is now sweats bullets.
"Ok,ok I'm sorry! Please spare my life!" God Gundam pleads with hands on the air, Zero wanted to smirk at it but he refrain himself, he doesn't want to let anyone know he's a sadist type.
"Um….God Gundam, are you all right?" Ciel asked with concern.
"Oh,Ciel! I'm all right, sorry for that outburst early; I don't know what got me. Hahahaha, everything's fine now." God Gundam give her assurance and grin a smile, Ciel return smile with her own.
"Zero and God Gundam, may I ask again for your help to infiltrate the Disposal Center and rescue one of our comrade as well as innocent Reploids and return them to base?" asked Ciel
"Ok." Said Zero.
"No problem, errr question how are we going there?" God Gundam asked Ciel, he gaze around looking if there's some sort of transport vehicle to reach there.
"Don't worry about that, we have our own Trans Server device here in our Base, it's next door over there." Ciel wink at God Gundam and points the direction of the Trans Server device located.
"oh….convenient." God Gundam whistles with that thought.
"Before I forget, Creveau want me to give this to you." Ciel handed over some sort of a chip, both Zero and God Gundam took it from Ciel's hand and looking at it.
"What is this?" Zero asked as he inspecting the chip.
"It's our detector, in case you gone missing during your mission we can trace the detector signal it emits a small signal for us to locate you." Ciel explain.
"Won't the Neo Arcadian traced this signal as well?" Zero asked, he thought the Neo Arcadian can trace this signal using technology or even hack it, it might be useless if that were occur, it's like you inviting your prey to hunt you down.
"Don't worry, Creveau altered the signal into small pieces which is unable normal tracer to intercept, Creveau invented himself that only can be used for us on scouting missions or infiltration." Ciel explain.
"Well if this is convenient, i don't mind" God Gundam insert the chip behind his helmet, feeling nothing different, he just shrug his shoulders saying nothings wrong.
Zero look at the chip suspiciously, God Gundam give a smack on his back, Zero glare at his back and God Gundam give a thumb up. Zero sigh at God gundam being so carefree, he just insert the chip behind his helmet and installed it.
"Well then, let's go for rescue mission, we don't want to have one of our comrade shaking his legs." God Gundam gesture his thumb at the Trans Server, Zero nooded at him and together both of them entered the room, standing on the device and begin teleportation.
They arrive at target location, they approach the place cautiously, spotting several Neo Arcadians soldier everywhere, they sneak away a route where seem less security, but with bad luck one of them saw the two and the alarm goes off. Both Zero and God Gundam face palm themselves and engaging the enemy, so much for rescue mission they thought.
After destroying a large amount of Neo Arcadian forces, they catch a breath for a while, it's weird to have huge number of security in this kind of place. Zero and God Gundam manage to survive several pitfall but God Gundam had difficulties because he never wall kick before like Zero, so he have to rely his thrusters to have long jump, unlike during he is a mobile suit, his thruster seem to have limited time of boosting making him unable to hover or fly like he used to.
Zero who are still catching his breath look at God Gundam, he stare at it for few seconds. God Gundam notice he's stares, "Is something on my face, Zero?" he asked.
"...Why you were angry back then?" said Zero
"Huh?" God Gundam confused at it.
"Sigh, i mean what angers you until you decide to break a huge hole on the wall early, i know it's probably the video feed we saw early but i don't think it's because of that." Zero said, he stand up and walk towards God Gundam and sitting next to him. "So, what makes you mad like that?" Zero asked with concern tone, God Gundam only stare at it disbelief, he never thought Zero show any interest regarding his well fare. God Gundam think for a moment rather is it ok for him to tell the truth? he sigh.
"It's true that execution is one of the part, another is it reminds me of the past." God Gundam express himself, remember the scream early as well as the figure being crushed, but more importantly he remember the day of his detonation, his death, being blown into pieces until not a single metal is in contact horrifying him, God Gundam never thought he be this scared when he have his own will, he never thought he will blame the humans for it, he never thought he blame Domon for letting him destroyed.
That's why he's angry, anger to himself for blaming his pilot, his partner in battle who fight with him, who give him power to fight, who share his despair and sadness when losing his brother in the battle. He can't believe he's having this thought, having own will is scary sometimes for him, maybe he gone Maverick in the future? He shiver at that thought, while he's in deep thought of what will happen if this keep on, he felt something patted his shoulder, God Gundam look at it saw Zero placing his hand on his shoulder.
"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't, we're still in the mission and i don't want something like that cause us trouble." Zero retract his arm, standing up. "I know remember some of the past is painful, but at least you those memories to remember what you fight for, how you swore to protect those you love, i on the other hand don't remember anything." Zero said with slight sadness, it's true everyone had their memories of the past able for them to move forwards, able to talk about. For him, as his name states, he remembers nothing, zero, he feel hollow inside and alienate from everything.
Just as his mind keep thinking about his memory loss, God Gundam smack Zero's back causing him to yelp in surprise and almost fall with his face on the ground, he look back at God Gundam and glare at him. "What was that for?!" Zero said with angry tone.
"Because you start to look like want to cry, so i decided to smack you. Besides, seeing you crying makes you seem girly." said God Gundam
"What did you said?!" Zero wanted to punch him calling Zero a girl, he hate it how back in the Resistance where some idiots saying how he look girly with those long blond hair, he took out his Buster and shot at the idiots, they scream in horror as Zero keep shooting them, God Gundam manage to avoid any casualties by arm lock Zero.
"Heheh, well we can have a brawl later, come on." As soon God Gundam and Zero depart, suddenly the ground below them begin to break down causing them to fall, God Gundam grab Zero's leg and threw him above, making Zero land on the ground safely. Zero look at the hole and saw God Gundam fall into the pit.
"God Gundam!" Zero called for him, God Gundam give a grin.
"Zero, you go first! I 'll be fine! I catch up later!" with that God Gundam fall into the darkness of the pit. Zero shout his name again but receive no respond, he slam his fist on the ground agitated about early event, he stood up and head for the execution point, believe God Gundam will catch up.
Zero reached the door, believe it lead to where the Reploids are being retire, he opens the door and saw a Reploid looking like Griffin. The Reploid notice Zero and spoke. "So...you must be Zero, and here i thought you be joining with them sooner."
"What you mean?" Zero asked.
"Hahahaha, i thought you fall together with the White Reploid so i can finish my job easier." the Reploid snickered.
"So you're the one who caused that!" Zero took out his Z saber and point at him. "Where is he?".
"You be seeing him soon." with that Zero can hear a familiar scream coming blow him, the Reploid gesture his arm showing a hologram screen, the feed shown God Gundam slids out from the hole and landed on the ground, the place seem like a junk yard.
"Huh? Where am i?" God Gundam, look around him and spotted a Resistance and other Reploids currently shaking in fear."Hey! You guys all right?" God Gundam rush towards them, it seem they still in one piece.
"Thank god, he's all right." Zero thought with relieve but that soon disappear as the ground begin to shake what it seem moving downwards. "What's going on?" Zero asked.
"It's retire time." the Reploid respond, the video feed showing the Resistance and Reploids are screaming in fear as they running around, God Gundam stare above him with in pinch look.
"My name is Aztec Falcon, under orders from my liege Guardian Harpuia, you Mavericks shall be terminated." Falcon hover above Zero and sky dive it towards Zero, Zero manage to dodge the attack and he fired several round of Z Busters. Flacon dodge the shots easily and landed on the grouns firing off lighting shots at Zero. Zero dodge to the side but one of the lighting hit him causing Zero flinch in pain as electrical surge flow into him.
"You have 2 minutes to save them, the only way to do that is by destroying me..." Falcon leap into sky "WHICH IT WON"T HAPPEN!" and deliver a dive kick towards Zero. Zero dodge sideways and thrown away from the impact of Falcon's kick, tumbling few times, Zero stood up winced in pain as he saw Falcon deliver a blow to him, causing Zero knocked against the wall.
Zero gased in pain, couhing up some blood, when he tried to retaliate Falcon's arm slam Zero on the wall, unable to move around. "Pathetic, is this what the Legendary Hero capable of? How disappointing." Falcon threw him to the other side, Zero gasp in pain as he tumbled around. Zero tried to get up but he suffered some damage making him winced in pain.
"Come on, Zero! Stop wasting time with him and finish that bird brain off!" God Gundam shouted can be heard below because it seem the platform is drawing closer to the base where God Gundam and other are around.
"Don't tell me your don already?! Come on. i thought you better than that! Don't tell me you're to girly for it?! God Gundam taunt resulting Zero trembling in rage and shout back.
"I"M NOT A GIRL!" Zero charge towards Falcon taking out his Z Saber and deliver several slashes Falcon unable to dodge and ends with a deep slash on Falcon, almost split him into half.
"Urgh, wha?!" Falcon retreat to the back away from Zero, he look at him, wince in pain and feel weak and feel shiver when he look at him, Zero's in bad mood and his aura giving off murder intent, too sum it all, his pissed.
"I had enough of this, I'm going to finish you now and be done." Zero speak in darker tone. Falcon smirk at it.
"Hmph, if that's so then i have do the same...for below us!" Falcon declared as suddenly the ground shook and the platform falling with speed because of the breaks on the platform destroyed by Falcon, Zero unable to stand properly begin losing his stands and he just notice God Gundam and other's are below, his eye wide in horror.
"Noo! Stop!" Zero rush towards Falcon but being shot from its lighting shots, Falcon laugh at him. " HAHAHAHAHA, say goodbye to your fellow Maverick, Zero!" after that Falcon exploded into pieces, the platform still dropping in speed, everyone below except God Gundam run in fear. God Gundam only stare at the platform with sharp eye, soon after that the platform stop its track, Zero recover himself from the fall and he fist slams the ground.
"Dammit! Dammit, dammit,dammit!" Zero continue to punch until he stops, he can't believe he's gone like that, sure Zero seem not interested pairing up with someone or be friends with someone but whenever he's with God Gundam, a small fragment of dee ja vu to him feels familiar. He feel something pierce his body, sharper than anything he felt knowing God Gundam and others were perished. Zero slams his first again, and curses.
"Damn you! Why you have to go like that! You promise you will tell me everything about yourself, and now you're leaving like this?! You FUCKING COWARD!" with lour scream, Zero land a final fist on the ground, trembling in anger and sadness from the loss of God Gundam, even in sort time, Zero find God Gundam as a comrade or even partners, hell maybe even friends if had the chance. Zero eye's almost quiver with tears and suddenly he heard a voice below him.
"Hey, stop punching the damn death trap, i can't hold on much longer if you keep doing that!" a familiar voice echo in Zero's ears, his head perked up, looking around or the source.
"God Gundam?" Zero dumbfound asked.
"Yup, so stop doing that and get out of the platform, or we be mince metal by now." God Gundam currently holding out the spiked platform underneath Zero, with all his strength God Gundam manage to hold the dropping guillotine on him and the rest but he won't last long.
"How? How can you still alive?" Zero asked
"Just hurry up and get out of the platform, wall kick away from it, HURRY!" God Gundam almost drom his hands, these thing is heavy, with no hesitation Zero wall jump away from the platform as high as he can, wondering what is he planning.
"You guys, go find something to cover or the spike will pierce you!" God Gundam shout at the Reploids victim.
"What are you going to do?" the resistance asked and still dumbfound by the scene in front of him.
"JUST HURRY UP AND GO!" God Gundam roar in anger, can't take anymore of the weight of this damn platform, the Reploids begin taking cover under the junks and tremble in fear because of God Gundam's sudden roar.
"Here goes." with that his mouth guard slid in and his wings flap open, glowing circular orange light around it. "RRRAAARRGGGHHHH!" God Gundam push up the platform with his all strength, the platform move upwards with great height and drops down again, everyone including Zero watch in surprise at it.
"Take this! GOD FINGER!" God Gundam unleashed his moves to the platform, stooping it movement, God Gundam hold out a little and he roar a battle cry, his orange light begin to glow brighter like a sun, his hands shines brightly.
"HEAT END!" with that the platform blown into pieces, spike are thrown everywhere,the Reploids and Zero only watch in surprise as something incredible happen in front of them, after the explosion settled down, God Gundam's orange light begin died down and his wings flap down, his hand begin dim and smokes rise from his hand, his mouth guard open and he sigh out of relieve it's over. He can feel his entire body begin to tremble because of holding an overweight object.
"God Gundam!" Zero landed on the ground, rushing towards him, God Gundam give a wave at him stating he's fine but earn a kick to the face.
"Ouch what was that for?!" God Gundam tumble back and sit up, pressing his sore face from the kick.
"For being an idiot!" Zero replied.
"Wha?! What i've done wrong?!" God Gundam stand up
"For being an idiot, hhmph" Zero turn away from God Gundam closing his eye and arm cross fold himself ignoring he's argument, in split second he open his right at and smile without everyone see, Zero relieve God Gundam is alive and almost. the reason for kicking him because he almost cried thought of him died making him embarrass with that thought he decide to kick him to relieve that.
"Ok, stop being childish and let's get back to base." Zero turn around and placed his hand on the side helmet, calling Ciel to pick them up and report their successful mission, ignoring God Gundam's rant about being childish.
