Mobile Suit Gundam Resurrection
Episode 2: Battle With a Dark Shadow
Temuro Maki, a 17 year old boy struggling to live in the lunar city of Fra Maura finds himself in the middle of a battle between the Federation and the Sedition. Like many boys before him, he finds himself in the Gundam. Now a dark shadow appears to challenge him.
Temuro starts to shake with fear as the Gundam steps onto the launch catapult.
"Oh man what in the hell am I doing?! I'm not part of the Federation! I don't like the Sedition, but I'm in way over my head."
Alissa's voice snaps him out of it.
"Temuro, Temuro!!"
"What! What! I'm here!"
"Temuro, I loaded a beam rifle and a shield."
"I guess I'm ready to launch then."
Temuro launches into the battle as Sneed in his Gemma Doga takes out a few more Hy-Jegans
"This is boring. Nothing but small fries out here."
Sneed looks over at the Pegasus and sees the Gundam as it launches. He contacts the Zaros.
"It's the Gundam! Captain I found it."
"Be on your guard and take it down."
"Not even that thing will defeat me!"
Sneed flies straight at the Gundam.
"Holy crap this thing is fast! I have to calm down or I'm going to get myself killed. Above me!?"
Temuro looks up and sees Sneed flying right at him.
"Crap!"
Temuro fires his beam rifle at Sneed but each shot is easily avoided.
"Whoa those are some pretty wild shots. That pilot must be an amateur!"
Sneed fires his beam machine gun at the Gundam but all of his shots are dodged as well.
"What! I missed!"
"Oh yeah, eat this."
He fires at Sneed and destroys his shield.
"What, he hit me! That Gundam must be pretty powerful."
Sneed continues firing at the Gundam, but Temuro keeps dodging.
"This guy is good, I can't keep this up, someone help!"
A beam almost hits Sneed and breaks off his attack.
"Who the hell?"
A custom Re-GZ flies up and stops in front of the Gundam.
"Hey kid, I don't where you came from but your going head to head with one of Sedition's best pilots. Don't let up, you have the better mobile suit."
Sneed recognizes the Re-GZ pilot's voice and becomes enraged.
"Masaki! You've gotten in my way for the last time!"
Retreat signals are fired from the Sedition ships. Sneed continues to fight as the other Sedition suits begin to withdraw.
"Lt. Sneed, you were given an order to retreat."
"What?!"
"Retreat now Lt."
"Arrrgh!"
Sneed reluctantly flies back towards the Sedition fleet. The Re-GZ and the Gundam return to the Pegasus. Masaki comes out of his suit and floats over to the Gundam. He opens the cockpit and sees Temuro shaking still gripping the controls.
"Hey kid you okay?"
Temuro lets go of the controls and starts to calm down.
"I guess I'm fine but who was that guy I was fighting?"
"That was Lt. Sneed and he is one the Sedition's best pilots."
"Oh God how can this day get any worse?"
Alissa floats up to the Gundam's cockpit and hugs Temuro.
"Temuro! Your alive!"
"Hey, Hey! Your choking me, stop!"
"Sorry, it's just that I thought I would have actually lost you."
"Hey I went up against the best Sedition pilot and he didn't even touch me!"
"You idiot that was the Gundam's ability not you!"
"Why do you think I have no skill at anything?!"
Masaki separates them both.
"Hey don't you think it's better for you both to get along since she is the chief mechanic for the Gundam.
"Alissa, you're the chief mechanic?"
"Well yes. Oh my dad! I wonder if he's ok."
She runs off.
"Hey if you're the chief mechanic you need to service my Gundam!"
"Leave her alone kid, be more sensitive to her feelings. Your still young so you probably have a lot learn about women."
"What the hell are you talking about? She's not my girlfriend or anything."
"Yeah, whatever."
Alissa runs into the infirmary short of breath.
"Hey Doctor how's my father?"
"He's just fine at the moment, I was able to stabilize his condition but he won't be up for a while."
"That isn't good, because he's not one to stay down."
Temuro enters the infimary.
"Alissa what about the Gundam's repairs?"
"Do them yourself my father is injured!"
The doctor taps on Temuro's shoulder.
"Uhm, excuse me. Can I see you for an examination?"
"Well, ok."
Alissa gets up and walks towards the door.
"I guess I'll start the Gundam's maintenance."
The doctor directs Temuro into an exam area.
"Alright, just relax and sit down on the table over there."
The doctor tries to pull up Temuro's military record.
"I don't seem to have your medical records on file."
"Well I'm not exactly a soldier. I just found myself here."
"I see."
The doctor calls the Captain from in his office.
"Sir I have the pilot of the Gundam in my medical bay right now."
"What's the problem?"
"Well he's just a civilian, probably from Fra Maura."
"Send him to me when you're finished with your examination."
"Yes Sir."
The doctor picks up a small device and places it on Temuro's head.
"What the heck is this thing."
"It's a brainwave scanner, I want to see if the Psychommu system in the Gundam affected your neuroactivity in anyway."
"How long is this going to take, I'm kind of hungry!"
"Calm down this will only take a few more seconds, and done, now I'll review these scans and give you the results later."
In the hangar, Alissa is working on the Gundam combat data.
"Hmm, what is this? What this can't be."
On the Zaros, Sneed walks down a corridor and into Magato's office.
"Captain, we'll be in attack range in thirty minutes."
"I have ordered all ships to wait here for that new Federation ship."
"What! They have few mobile suits and it's only one ship, why don't we just attack them!"
"Their ship has twice as much fire power as ours and they have the Gundam."
"To hell with the Gundam! I would have destroyed it had Masaki not interfered!"
"Sneed, you will follow my orders. Many pilots have lost their lives to a Gundam and so will you if you don't take it seriously, and this vendetta you have with this Masaki is going to get you killed as well. You treat this war as if it were some kind of game for your amusement, but it's not, people die."
"The Gundam's pilot is just a person and so is Masaki."
"You'll need a better mobile suit. May I suggest you take the prototype Psychommu equipped Gemma Doga."
"Thank you sir."
In the mess hall, Temuro is eating and Alissa walks in.
"Hey Alissa, have you fixed the Gundam?"
"Yes Temuro and I was reviewing the combat data from the Gundam when I found this."
She points to a graph on a data sheet.
"Okay let's say I'm not an Anaheim engineer and I have no idea what this means."
"Oh, sorry, what it means is that you used the Gundam's full capabilities even when it was your first time piloting it. This means you may have powerful newtype abilities."
"What are these abilities?"
"Well newtypes have a higher use of their brain, high levels of telepathy and foresight. Fully developed newtypes have known to be almost invincible in battle."
"Invincible huh, heh heh, I will be Temuro the great!"
"Sit down you idiot your embarrassing yourself!"
"I can't be embarrassed I'm Temuro the great!"
An alert is sounded throughout the ship.
"What the hell is going on!"
"Enemy ships and mobile suits approaching, all crew members to your stations."
Alissa snaps at Temuro who just sits back down and starts eating again.
"What are you waiting for, go take them out with the Gundam."
"Hey, I'm eating!"
Temuro runs down to the hangar and floats over into the Gundam. He activates the Gundam and walks over to the launch area.
"Temuro, ready to launch."
Sneed and his mobile seam team launches from the Zaros.
"This time I won't lose to that Gundam!"
