DISCLAIMER: I do not own Vandread or any of the three Gundam series introduced on this.
AWAKENING PART 2
"All Dreads, we'll follow the Nirvana and wait for the enemy on the planet's surface, watch out for their fire while we're retreating," Meia commanded to the Dread teams as she got a 'Roger' from everyone.
"Meia, on your right," Barnette called to warn her just in time as Fakedread Meia appeared before Meia in a flash of speed. As the Fakedreads continued to fight part of their counterparts, the Nirvana and Immortal Purpose were being sucked into the gas like planet.
As they drew closer, Meia saw two of Fakedread showing their backs to her, so she went in to shoot them down. But the Fakedread Jura put up its shields and blocked the lasers. Despite that, she continued to fire until her counterpart combination came to block her path and was about to clip her wings off and leave her injured,' crap,' was all she could think of before the Fakedread was about to take action.
Fortunately for her, help came to the rescue," oh no you don't," a familiar voice called out as from out of nowhere, a dark mech flew in with its right hand cocked back," ERUPTING BURNING FINGER," the voice called out as the mech plunged it burning hand into the body of the Fakedread," and now, HEAT END," he called once again as the Fakedread exploded into pieces.
'Huh?' was she could think of as she regained her senses a bit.
"I did vow that I'd always protect you…" a vid screen popped up to show none other than Taiho and his Dark Angel Gundam, all the while he carried a smile that showed he meant what he said and would always keep that vow.
"You did, didn't you?" she stated, more than questioned and smiled as she flew passed him," come on, we have to get to the Nirvana," she called out as she flew ahead, but couldn't help but smile warmly now,' you're still alive and that's all I can ask for,' she thought as she continued to back to Nirvana.
"Right," he then followed her league, but couldn't help but think of how dire the situation became,' with the Master Gundam in this, does this mean that the Four Heavenly Kings are in this mess too. If so, then our fight just got a lot harder,' Taiho thought, but kept a determined look on his face,' but that won't stop me from destroying them and protecting my friends and comrades. I, no, we will stop them, no matter what,' he thought as he followed his leader and girlfriend.
Meanwhile, Barnette was having a hard time with the Harvester and Dark Army Soldiers. As she kept using the machine gun on her Dread, she sent a volley of Missiles to keep the enemies back,' how many do I have to take down for me to make a path to the Nirvana,' she thought as she continued to back away and fire at the enemy, all the while trying to look for an opening that would let her retreat back to the ship.
She was about to go for one when a shadow cast itself over head; when she looked to see what it was, she froze as she looked at the mechanical blood shot eye of a Dark Army Soldier as it raised its club like rifle to smash her Dread,' help,' she called out in her thoughts, hoping that someone would come to her rescue just in time.
Fortunately for her, like Meia, fate seemed to have heard her cry for help," Cyclone Punch," a familiar voice called out as a blue tornado drilled right through the Dark Army Soldier's head and rendered its body useless. She was about to thank the person who helped her, but the voice made a comment that flared up her anger," I didn't think a tomboy like you would need help."
"What…did…you…say?" she asked in a dangerously slow tone as she turned her head a bit slowly as well. But then was surprised to see who had saved her was none other then Marcus and his Gundam," hmph, whatever," she said to him as she blasted off, but couldn't help but feel thankful that he had saved her.
"A simple thank you would have sufficed," Marcus said as he followed closed behind in his Gundam. He then took a quick glance behind him as he saw the countless Dark Army Soldier and Harvester enemies,' this has gone way out proportion, I hope we can make it out of this,' Marcus hoped as he and Barnette retreated back to the Nirvana.
"Mr. Alien, Help!" Dita called out as she tried to shoot down three Dark Army Soldiers. Just as one got close enough to club her, a familiar blade went through its midsection.
"I won't let you," Hibiki said as he pulled the sword and spun around to slash it through the midsection, leaving it in three pieces that exploded. Hibiki then turned blasted towards the remaining two," I'll destroy all of you, once for all," he said as he dodged their fire and quickly slashed through them. Once they exploded, he turned his attention to the redhead," hey, you alright?" he asked as he backed away towards the Nirvana.
"Yes," she answered as her face came up on his screen and quickly turned that smile she always had on," thank you Mr. Alien."
Blushing a bit at her thanks and face, he turned his head a bit to not let her see it," yeah, whatever, let's just go back," he said before he turned and blasted towards the Nirvana.
"Right behind you Mr. Alien," she said as she followed close behind the short navy haired man.
As they closed in that gas planet, they form up with the other four. Taiho's voice then came up on their communicators," everyone alright?" he asked as he kept close to Meia's Dread.
"YEAH," everyone said in unison as they kept on their course.
"Good," he then turned his attention to his student," Hibiki, combine with Jura and put up a shield for us so that we can pass through safely," he commanded as he saw the Nirvana and Immortal Purpose put up their shields and entered the gas planet.
"Yes sensei," he complied he combined with Jura to make Vandread Jura. Not a moment sooner did they put up the shield as they entered the gas planet's atmosphere, with the enemy not far behind. As they all enter, the only one to be crushed was a Dark Army soldier and Harvester command ship.
"Can't handle the fire, stay out of the kitchen guys," Marcus taunted as they all head towards their ships, which were forming a giant shield as they had connected each other's shields to do so.
As they enter the shield, the two Gundam pilots separate from the group to put their mechs back on the Immortal Purpose. Once they did, they got on ship along with Parfet, as she had gotten communications that something was going on with the Paksis.
When they entered, Taiho saw Hibiki in front of his Vanguard, typing out plans on Pyoro," hey Marcus, you go on ahead and see how everyone's doing," Taiho said to his best bud," I'm going to see what I can do to help out our little friend here," he then walked towards Hibiki, leaving Marcus in the middle of the hangar, but he just shrugged and left to do what Taiho asked him to do.
Right when Taiho got up to the catwalk Hibiki was on, he sneezed real hard Pyoro," that's disgusting," the little robot said as he got drenched in saliva.
"Oh shut up," he snapped back as he typed on the little bots keyboard," how about this, can we do it?" he asked as Pyoro calculated his plan.
"Ask all you want, it's impossible," Pyoro says in a tired voice.
"But why not?" he asks in annoyed tone.
"Although it is true that this planet is about to turn into a star, it would be impossible to carry out this mission all by yourself," Pyoro explains with tired look in his digital eyes.
"Okay, what about this then?" he asks as he types a button to do an alteration, only to get a negative from little bot," okay then, let me think."
"'Sigh', humans," Pyoro says in the same tired voice.
"Trying to think of a plan without any of us involved?" Taiho asks as he made his presence known with scowl on his face.
Hibiki gets a bit startle and looks down a bit, away from his sensei," I want to do this myself. I don't want to get any of you hurt," he then starts to look towards Pyoro with sad look in his eyes," I don't want any of you to die like Seran."
Taiho just sighs and puts a comforting hand on his shoulder," but if you don't let us experience this level of battle, what's say will happen when we're not prepared to fight stronger enemies," Hibiki then starts to look at Taiho from the corner of his eyes," we need to continue to fight and learn from these experiences, that is about the only way to prepare ourselves for the more harder trials up ahead in our journey."
Hibiki then starts to think on his before nodding a bit with smile on his face," I guess you're right, but…" he then looks at the plans he just made on Pyoro," just how are we going to survive this?" he asks as he looked at the odds.
"Well, only one way," he then sat next to Hibiki and started to look over the plans," let's start to brain storm on this before the others come, okay?" he asks as he got a nod from Hibiki and started to discuss on how to make their plans work.
As they plan, Marcus made his way to the doctors and see how everyone was doing. Once he got inside, he saw Duero looking over Barnette's and Meia's conditions. Once he was done, he made his presence known," yo guys, how's everyone doing?"
"The two of them are stable to fight," the doctor then looks to Marcus," how are you? Are you feeling anything that is bothering you?"
"No, I'm good," he then looked at the women's and noted one thing, they seemed to be depressed about the situation,' I guess their feeling down about how the battle is going and that the Paksis seems a bit unstable,' Marcus thought as he remembered how the ship was doing from anime series.
"Doctor," a voice called out, only to reveal Dita with a sad look on her face," we need some kind of medicine to make everyone cheerful again."
"I understand how you feel, but I don't think medicine is the solution to our problems," the doctor said in a cool tone and face, but inside, he felt the same kind of depression going on.
"Then what is? Everyone's saying there's no hope for us. They're saying were doomed," she replied back in a frantic voice, she just couldn't believe how easily the moral on the ship was going down so fast.
"That's right, it's all over. We're all about to die," Paiway blurted out as she voiced her fears. But just as she was about to continue, Marcus cut her off.
"Would you all look yourselves," he snapped as he felt he needed to get their heads straight," one moment of defeat and you all just shrivel up in this pathetic mess? What kind of pirates?" he asked as he looked at the women in the room who turned from him," so you guys lost a battle just now, but look," he then went to the monitor and turned the video of Hibiki and Taiho working out battle plans. He then turned it to Parfet doing all she could to fix the Paksis's problems," you don't see them giving up without of fight. I don't know about you guys, but I'm not going down without a fight," he then turned his attention to the group in the room," I'll fight to the bitter end and let them know just who their messing with," he then held up his right hand in clenched fist," I am Marcus Kensington, the Guardian Spirit Tiger of the West and protector of both the Nirvana and Immortal Purpose," he then walked to leave, but just before he left, he looked back to them," you guys should think of what you should do? After all, it's not my place to tell what to do," and with that, he left the room to help Taiho with his plans, without seeing a glow appearing on his right hand.
'Guardian Spirit, whatever,' Barnette thought, but she couldn't help but feel a little encouraged by his words,' show them just who you are, huh?' she thought as she looked at her right hand as she could faintly she a glow on it, but chalked it up to the lighting in the room,' you're still a jerk Marcus,' she thought with a little smirk on her face.
'Taiho would probably have said the same thing,' Meia thought as she looked at the door Marcus left through. She then laid down to get some rest,' maybe I'll prove who I am by fighting alongside you Taiho,' she thought as she lifted her right hand up a bit and saw a bit of glow.
Paiway and Duero couldn't help but feel affected by his speech andd wanted to feel just like him now. Dita, from her position could see the affect it had on the room and couldn't help but smile a bit,' thank you Marcus, now,' she then got her own idea on cheering up the ship,' I hope I can affect them like you did Mr. Blue,' she thought as she nicked named him after the blue clothing he has.
"Okay, by combining the gases of the planet and the Paksis, we can ignite the planet," Hibiki reviews and then looks to Taiho," we're fine up to that point. The question now is to find a way to gain enough time to escape without us getting caught in the explosion," Hibiki finishes as he crossed his arms with a thoughtful look on his face.
"We could use the combination you make with Meia and I could use the Gundam Epyon with Barnette," Taiho suggested as he looked at the plan on Pyoro's screen," this would solve the speed problem we have right now."
"That sounds like a plan," he then types the plans into Pyoro keyboard.
"Now all you two need is to get the firepower to take down the flagship," Pyoro commented as he felt the two were finally making progress.
In the shadows of one of the crates, BC couldn't help but smirk at the two,' you two certainly do keep yourselves busy, you didn't even need my encouragement,' she thought as she went to go back to the bridge.
"Hey everybody, can you hear me?" everyone then snapped their heads to the speakers of the ship, recognizing right away Dita's voice," we might lose and we might die, but that's what life is, isn't it? We all decided to fight this battle and we decided to fight because we didn't want something else beside ourselves to decide our future for us, or controlling our destinies. But now we're losing hope, you're deciding it's over and you're giving up…that's a mistake. Please don't say that we're done for, if you say so then it will become true. I'll never say that it's over; I'll never give up, because I want to be with all of you, forever. Because I love all of you, so you have to look deep within your hearts to find hope," she then started to cry a bit at the end, hoping that everyone heard her plea.
"You idiot," Hibiki said softly with a smirk on his face, not noticing the glow appearing on his right hand.
"She may be that, but she has a big heart that can move anyone," Taiho commented as he looked up to the ceiling, while he too didn't notice the glow on his right hand.
In one of the halls, Marcus couldn't help but smirk at her speech and saw a lot of the women getting their heads straight and getting to work," couldn't have said it better myself Dita, you keep that heart of yours and you'll go places girl," he then walked off towards her room.
"Okay, so we need Dita for this then," Taiho said as he looked at the plans on the Pyoro, already knowing that she was the one final piece to Hibiki's plan.
"So how has the plan been coming you two," a voice called to the two of them. The two look back and see Meia's smirking face.
"I'd say it's been going good and its going better now that you're here," Taiho said with his own smirk.
"So this has been where you two have been planning, huh?" another voice said as the shutter behind them opened up to show Jura," you're gravely mistaken if you're thinking of leaving me out of this. By now you should know I have a nose for things interesting."
"Yeah, yeah, stop trying to act all dramatic Jura," Barnette said as she made herself known to them," I better be apart of this plan, or there's going to be two less males in this universe," she smirked at the two as she cracked her knuckles a bit, which made the two chuckle a bit.
As Dita opened her door, she saw the busy women on the ship carrying out their assignments and couldn't help but wonder if her speech really made that much of a difference," you did good Dita," she then turned her head to see Marcus leaning on the wall, by her door with a smirk on his face and hands in his pockets," you do have a heart of gold that can move even the most depressed person, and for that you should be proud of yourself."
"Thank you, Mr. Blue," she said with a smile and made him stumble bit.
'Mr. Blue?' he thought as he looked at her with comically questioning face, but just shook it off and got up to walk ahead," come on, we need to get to the others and discuss about what they have planed."
"Right," she said with a smile as she quickly followed the black male.
As they enter, they see the group discussing their jobs," you're late," Hibiki said as they both entered the room.
"Hey, don't blame me, traffic was a killer to get here man," Marcus commented as he went up to the group.
"You two were still slow," Jura teased as she looked Marcus with a bit of glint in her eye, which made him flinch a bit, knowing what she had planned later on.
"Hey Dita, don't just stand their, you're part of the master plan," Taiho said as he smiled at the redhead.
"Okay," she replied with a warm smile on her face.
"And no slacking off, understand?" Hibiki asked as he held his own smirk on his face.
"Right," she answered with a smile and blush on her face.
After that, everyone got in their respective machines. As Taiho and Marcus made it on the Immortal Purpose, they quickly jump in their Gundams," Marcus Kensinton, Angelic Byakko, LET'S DO IT," he said as launched from the Immortal Purpose.
"Taiho Lobo, Dark Angel, LAUNCHING," Taiho called out as he blasted off from the ship.
Back on the Nirvana, Hibiki was just about to announce his leave as well," alright, let's go partner," he said to his Vanguard and was about get ready to launch when Dita's face came up on his screen.
"Mr. Alien?" she asked as she surprised Hibiki and gave him a bit of fright.
"What the hell is it? I explained everything to you, didn't I?" he asked as was starting to get irritated by her now.
"It's not that, I want you to do something when this is over," she then started to look a little nervous in front of him, but through it all, she just smiled," I want you to visit my room."
A little taken back by the request, he felt they should talk about this some other time," can't we talk about this later?"
"No, promise me right now," she demanded with puppy eyes on her face.
Knowing full well he couldn't resist the look for some reason, he conceded defeat with a blush," yeah, sure, okay, whatever," he said quickly as he turned his face away from her with a bit of a scowl on his face.
"Please don't forget, because I'll be waiting for you," she said before cutting off communications.
"Oh brother," he said as he knew he was in something that he didn't know he could handle,' maybe sensei or Marcus know how to deal with this,' with that thought in his mind, he made a note to talk to the two of them after the battle was done and were available," alright," he then got a cocky face on," time to kick some ass," he then turned on communications with the bridge," Hibiki Tokai, Vanguard, HEADING OUT," he called out as he blasted off from the Nirvana.
"Alright everyone, ready?" Taiho called out to everyone.
"You know it," Marcus said as he flexed his arm a bit.
"They won't know what hit them," Barnette said, as she got ready to get the plan underway.
"Affirmative," Meia said in her old fashion way with a smirk on her face.
"Just as long as it comes out elegant, I'm always ready," Jura said as she flipped long blond hair a bit.
"I'm ready as long as Mr. Alien is ready," Dita said as she had her usual cheery mood on.
"Well I guess that means you'll always be ready, cause I'm always ready to go into fight," Hibiki said as he gave a thumbs up to his sensei.
"Good," Taiho then got a determined look on his face," let's do it, COMMENCE THE OPERATION," he called out and got a 'Roger' from everyone. Hibiki and Jura then went up to combine and made their Vandread. When they got ready, the two blasted off and went out of the planets gas like atmosphere and put up their shields, all the while getting fired at from the fleet of Harvesters and Dark Army Soldiers.
"Alright everyone, let's get to the launch points immediately," Meia said as she got a 'Roger' from everyone else. The five then surround the core of the planet and start to use their beams on it, with the Gundams having special beam rifles made from Gascogne to use in this situation.
As everyone started to concentrate on the task at hand, Marcus and Taiho could feel something from within themselves. They started to wonder what was going on, until the monitor they had in their cockpits turned bright and blinded them. As they regained their senses, they both saw they were in their perspective dream training areas, where they trained under the two Shuffle Crest Alliance members.
"It's time…" Domon said as he stood in front of Taiho.
"That you learn…" Chibodee said as he summoned his Gundam.
"MY ULTIMATE TECHNIQUE," they both said in unison, as they got ready to give their final lesson to the two.
"Ah shit," Taiho said as he dodged a hail of bullets from the Burning Gundam. As he was running, he couldn't help but curse the timing the King of Hearts had when in a dire situation,' why now? I need to hurry with this, or the others might die while I do this,' Taiho thought as he started to think up of a plan while he hid behind a tree.
"Cyclone Punch," Chibodee called out as he sent a blue tornado toward Marcus, who barely dodged it and quickly ran down an alley of the training area that resembled Neo-America's New York. As he got in the middle of the alley, he quickly jumped up to the roof of the building and hid behind the ledge of the roof, all the while thinking of what Taiho just thought.
"You won't be able to help your friends if you won't come out to fight me Taiho Lobo," Domon called out as he walked through the forest of the Guyana Highlands. Taiho cursed a bit and had to agree with Domon, as he knew he didn't have much time left.
"Come on, think of something Marcus," Marcus said quietly to himself as he looked over the ledge and looked down to Gundam Maxter.
When the two saw they had their backs to them, they quickly dashed out of their hiding spots and went to give a surprise attack. But what they didn't expect was the two Gundams to disappear in a flash. They started to look left and right for them until they heard their respective attacks gunning for them.
"Erupting Burning Fingers," Domon said as he sent a blast of fire towards Taiho.
"Burning Punch," Chibodee called out as he sent a fired up punch towards Marcus.
The two could only look at the attacks coming towards them in slow motion, thinking that the attacks would surely kill them in their dreamscape, and thus kill them in the outside world.
'So this is how it ends…' Taiho thought as he started to think back on his life.
'There was still so much left I had to do…' Marcus thought as he started to look back on his time with the Menalos.
'So much left undone…' Taiho then started to think about the training he left incomplete with Hibiki and Meia.
'But it's all over now….' Marcus as he thought he would at last meet Nagi in the after life.
'NO' two voices called out and snapped them out from their thoughts
'Patricia,' Taiho thought as he looked at the ethereal form of his dead girlfriend.
'Nagi,' Marcus thought as he looked upon her with tears in his eyes.
The two fallen loves of the two women looked upon the two with warm looks on their faces,' you have to live and protect your comrades, otherwise, this evil will spread to other dimensions and tear apart the very fabric that keeps order between our universes,' the two then go to them and cup their hand on their cheeks,' please, don't let those precious to you die I vain now,' they both said with a soft loving tone.
After a moment passed, they opened their eyes and saw the attacks coming to them. Immediatley they enter their Seed mode and think of activating the ZERO system within their minds. But something else happened, they saw images of their friends, family, and loved ones. They thought it was their fallen love telling them something else, but they noticed this was their mind's telling them what was most important to them.
As Taiho saw the images flash by him, he then came upon on last one that meant the world to him now,' Meia,' it then hit him what would unlock his Hyper mode. It was the will to protect and be with Meia that would do it. With that thought, he got in the stance he learned from Domon.
For Marcus, he saw the images flash by him as well, but the last image confused him the most,' Barnette?' he thought questionably, but shrugged bit,' if this means I have to protect that tomboy, then I'll do it, with these two fists,' Marcus thought as he got in his boxer stance.
When they snapped out their thoughts, they had one thought in mind…it was time to unleash their ulimate attacks.
Taiho extended his arms out and charged his Ki. As he did, he felt the power building up in between his hand. He then pulled it in and put in the position of a Hadoken attack.
Marcus raised his right hand up in clenched both his hands into fists and got ready to unleash the attack as he built the Ki into his two fists.
When the attacks got close enough, they saw it was time to attack and with their voices reaching the top of their lungs, they called out their attack. As they did, two crests appeared on their right hands. On Taiho's was a kanji for East with an azure dragon going around in and out of its writing, while Marcus had kanji for West with a white tiger curled around it, its claws extend and its mouth ready to chew out any enemies.
"SEKIHA TENKYOKEN," Taiho called out as the gold blast of Ki with the Dragon of the East crest imaged in the middle of it, blew right through the fire and made its way to the Burning Gundam.
"BURSTING MACHINE GUN PUNCH," Marcus called out as he sent a hail of purple punch waves of Ki towards the Gundam Maxter and went right through the punch wave it had made.
The attacks hit the two and made the Gundams disappear in a flash of light. But before they left, the two had one last thing to say to the two of them," you pass."
The two then snapped their heads up and notice that phase one of the plan was already complete, as they saw the core was now shrinking, which meant it was about to explode.
"Alright everyone, let's hightail it out of here," Taiho called out as he got his senses back. He then looked towards Barnette," ready?"
"Yeah," the two then combine to make Gundam Eypon," let's go."
"Right," he replied as he made his way to Marcus," ready to ride Air Epyon," he taunted a bit to his best bud.
"Would you hurry up, we're about to get fried here," Marcus snapped as he looked back to the flames of core rushing towards them.
"Yeah, yeah," Taiho said took a hold of the white Gundam's hand and blasted off at great speeds.
As the two made it out, they saw Meia had just dropped off Hibiki to make him combine with Dita with the fire of the gas planet destroying the fleet of enemies they passed," go get them you two," Marcus said as he watched Vandread Dita took the shoulder cannons it had and combined them to make a large double sided javelin. They then cocked it back and threw it with the planet's flames following close behind. The flagship saw this and shot a large beam towards them.
When the two attacks met, the javelin was stopped by the blast, but that didn't matter as the flames powered it up and blasted right through the beam fired by the flagship and destroyed it. Everyone thought they had finally beaten them, but Taiho and Marcus knew better and quickly made way to the Vandread. As they got their, they saw the flagship come out from the flames of destruction with only one exception…the Dark Gundam's body was now towering over them.
"You two get out here, we'll handle this," Taiho said as he got in front of the Vandread.
"But…" Hibiki was about to protest, but the other Gundam pilot cut him off.
"Don't worry, we have this in the bag," Marcus said as he smirked at the two in the Vandread. Dita and Hibiki looked at each other before nodding and blasting off back to the Nirvana.
"This hand of mine is burning red, it's loud roar tells me to grasp victory," Taiho called out as his crest appeared on the back of his right hand, along with Marcus's crest appearing on the back of his right hand," here I go, with the ultimate technique of the martial artist," he said as he extended his arms out and his hand cupped and charged his Ki.
"And here I go with the ultimate technique of the professional boxer," Marcus said as he cocked his right clenched fisted hand and charged his Ki.
"Let's do it Marcus," Taiho said to his best bud, as his clothes started to change into a golden color with his hair turning gold and blond with it raising up a bit with the power flowing through him now.
"Right with ya Taiho," Marcus replied as he got ready to unleash his attack, as he too started to change into a golden color like Taiho and had the tails of his du-rag rise up with the power flowing through him as well.
"SEKIHA TENKYOKEN/BURSTING MACHINE GUN PUNCH," the two called out at the same time as they sent their respective attacks at the body of the Dark Gundam, not letting it have a chance at attacking at all. As the two attacks made their way towards the Dark Gunam, they combined and made a swirling giant beam of gold and purple towards the evil Gundam. It then hit the Dark Gundam and vaporized its body, along with the rest of the flagship.
After that, the two saw they achieved victory, so they quickly blasted out of the way of flames of the new star that was made by them. As the two were making their way, they gave each other a dab to each other in their Gundams. When they got on the Immortal Purpose, they got on a small ship and made their way to the Nirvana to see how everyone was doing.
When the two made it there and landed, they got out and saw the entire crew there to greet them," WELCOME BACK," said the whole crew of the Nirvana. The two looked eyes with each other and smirked as they turned their attention back to the crew.
"You two were amazing," Jura said as she glomped Marcus from out of nowhere and made him blush bit as she hugged his head in between her breasts," you two really looked elegant out there."
The two then felt a heat behind them and saw Barnette in red like battle aura. Marcus quickly got out of the embrace and tried to defend himself," Barnette, this isn't what it looks like, you gotta believe me," he said as he waved his hands in front of him to defend himself.
But it seemed she didn't hear him as she pulled out her 'out-of-nowhere' mallet and said," PERVERT," and sent the black male sailing over the crowd and implanted him into the wall.
"Uncute tomboy," Marcus muttered painfully as he slowly slid off the wall.
"WE HAVE A PROBLEM," Pyoro called out as he got the attention of the people in the room.
"Don't worry Pyoro, they'll get over it in time," Taiho said as he thought he was talking about Barnette and Marcus.
"I'm not talking about that, look at this" he scowled a bit until his screen turned to show the Nirvana and Immortal Purpose, along with the number of flagships in the Harvesters fleet," Earth has already discovered that our two ships has destroyed one of their flagships! Hearing the news, other fleets that were in other solar systems all changed their targets to Mejale and Tarak!" he exclaimed as he showed everyone what was going on.
"Uh, there's five of them," Jura commented as she felt things were now getting out of their league once again.
"So what are we going to do now? We were barely able to get rid of one of them," Barnette asked as everyone in the room started to get worried.
"What is it with you guys?" Hibiki asked as he got everyone's attention," are you going to shrivel up in fear? We already know what we have to do, right sensei?" he then looked at Taiho with a smirk on his face.
"Right," Taiho said as he quickly caught on," no matter the odds, no matter how hard the trial, we'll persevere and show them what men and women can do when we put our hearts and soul on the line," he then pumped his right hand up as his crest showed up on it," RIGHT?"
"RIGHT," they answered as agreed with the Dark Angel Gundam pilot.
'We have only taken the first step into realizing our purpose and we'll continue to search for it, even if it takes our whole lives,' Taiho thought as he looked at everyone with a smile on his face,' it's time we left the first stage of this show and take it up to second act.'
From the darkness of space, Rabat could only smirk at what just happened,' it seems that those two have come far, but just how far will they go I wonder,' he thought as he turned his ship around and blasted off,' until then squirt…not to mention you two Gundam pilots,' he thought as he continued into the vastness of space.
A/N: That's the end of CH.13 guys; hope you liked and sorry for taking so long. Anyhow, the reason for the Taiho and Marcus learning the two techniques just now was because that nothing short of two attacks like that at a weakened version of the Dark Gundam would be able to take it down. And the way they were able to obtain the technique and enter Hyper mode, well, I thought it would be the only reasonable them to be able to obtain it, when their lives were on the line. I also hope when they went through the process that it wasn't as confusing. Well, if anything else, PM or post it on the reviews, ja ne.
