Mobile Suit Gundam Resurrection
23: Wings of the Hawk
The Pegasus sits grounded in the forest as technicians work to repair their engines.
"How much longer is this going to take?"
"Please be patient Captain, there is a lot of damage to the minovsky craft system. We'll have to get the ship back to New Jaburo in order to replace it."
Masaki walks into his room and crashes into the bed.
"Damn, I'm exhausted."
Masaki is contacted by the bridge.
"Lt. Masaki, what are you doing?! You're supposed to be on active duty!"
"Alright, I'm going."
"Be ready for an enemy attack. We'll be departing in an hour."
Masaki walks back down towards the hangar and sees Temuro come out of the medical bay.
"Hey kid feeling better?"
"A little bit. The doctor says I should be ready for duty in a week."
"Only a week? I'm happy to hear that. We could have used your help yesterday."
"Yeah, I know. He came back, the guy in the blue mobile suit. I could feel him whenever he came near the ship."
"That must be some kind of newtype power."
"I guess so. I wonder if he is a newtype as well."
An hour later, the technicians bring the engines back online and the Pegasus slowly lifts off.
"Minovsky craft system operating at 55 and power levels are stable. We should be fine for now."
"You mean as long as the enemy doesn't attack we'll be okay."
On board their Volstar, Devin briefs the Devils on an attack plan.
"They've already taken one of us out. This isn't going to be easy even if they don't have the Gundam. Intelligence has sent us some schematics of the New Jaburo base."
"What?! How were they able to pull that off?"
"Believe me Thomias it wasn't easy."
The Pegasus flies over a huge lake occupied by many small islands.
"New Jaburo base, this is Captain Senion of the Pegasus requestisng landing clearance."
"Permission granted."
One of the islands split in half revealing a hidden underground hangar and the Pegasus descends into. The crew members disembark the Pegasus as well as Temuro walking down on a crutch. Many engineers board to start working on all the damage. The engineering chief assesses the damage on the outside.
"That's a lot of damage. They must have had one hell of trip getting here."
Temuro looks at the chief and is surprised at who it is.
"Dad!"
"Temuro!? What are you doing here?"
"I'm the pilot of the Gemini Gundam."
"A pilot?! How can you pilot such a thing? What about Kaya and how did you hurt yourself?"
"It's a long story. We haven't heard anything from you in awhile."
"I've been busy."
"Busy? What do you mean busy?! You couldn't even send us some kind of message to let us know that you were okay."
"There's a war going on right now. You've always been a whiny little brat since you were little. Grow up dammit!"
Temuro's dad raises his arm to hit slap him but Senion grabs his arm.
"Actually, I think your son has grown up since the first time I've met him. He has very strong newtype powers and has fought valiantly to protect my ship."
A small tear runs down Temuro's face as he interupts the captain.
"All of our lives you haven't really been home. You always absorbed with your work and never really cared for us at all!"
Temuro walks away with the Captain as his dad goes back to work on the ship. The Gundam is hauled off the Pegasus as Alissa and Temuro watch.
"Can you believe this Temuro?! The Gundam is being sent to Aneheim to be upgraded."
"Upgraded?"
"They created some new components for it using some new thruster technology. Every technician I've talked weren't able to tell me very much about it."
An officer walks up to Temuro.
"Excuse me Ensign Maki. Could you come with me please? Adimral Sotto wants to speak with you."
Temuro is escorted by the officer to an elevator that goes to the bottom floor. They walk to the end of a long hallway and enter a set of big doors that lead into Admiral Sotto's office.
"So your Ensign Temuro Maki the pilot of the Gemini Gundam. I see you ran into some problems. I guess Earth can be a rough for a spacenoid. The Sedition learned that lesson as well."
"The Gundam is in really bad shape from the battle in Beijing and we also engaged the Blue Devils."
"Your just some kid that stumbled his way into the Federation forces yet you sound like a fairly experienced officer."
"Well my dad has been a military engineer since I was little. I must have picked it up from him."
"Well the main reason I called you in here is because you are the pilot of the Gundam. You're a newtype as well so you are useless unless you have a mobile suit. So I will be assigning you to pilot the new FGX-278 Hawk Gundam."
"Hawk Gundam?"
Tremors rock the base as Kazus bomb the base from the outside.
"Admiral, Sedition forces are closing in on the main control center. There are ten ships, thirty mobile suits and the Blue Devils."
"Looks like you'll be taking the Hawk Gundam out now Ensign."
"Yes sir."
Temuro is lead to the hangar where the Hawk Gundam is located. The Hawk Gundam is built with a slim frame, wings and the shield that becomes the nose during fighter mode. Temuro climbs into the cockpit and activates the Hawk Gundam.
"Lt. Maki, Hawk Gundam, launching!"
The hangar doors open above and at a very high speed the Hawk Gundam blasts off into the sky flying towards the first defense line. Masaki boards the Blue Angel and walks out of the Pegasus.
"This is Lt. Masaki in the Blue Angel, I'm going out, open the hangar."
The hangar above the Pegasus halfway opens and the Blue Angel ascends into the sky alongside the Hawk Gundam.
"Is that you Temuro? It's good to see you back in action."
"Thanks Masaki, let's go!"
"That new Gundam is incredible. I wouldn't mind taking it for a spin."
