MSG Warlords Chapter 3

Crow watched as the two Warlords boosted into the sky and disappeared. "What were they?" Crow muttered and ran towards the jungle to get away from the onslaught soon to come. The sky was enveloped with Zeon mobile suits as Crow made it to the jungle. Anti - Aircraft guns could be heard in the distance muffled by the jungle trees, and various sounds of the jungle. "This is Crow to Federation outpost 2-1-7, can you read me?" Crow said over his Gundam's intercom. Nothing but static. "Damn... Looks like I have to get back to Jaburo myself."

Crow slowly started to make his way south through the thick jungle creep. "I can't see a thing in all this s-." He said as his Gundam's foot tangled in a strong vine and tumbled down into the thick muddy earth. "Damn!" Mud started to shoot up everywhere around Crow, gunfire. He rolled to the left; his Gundam completely covered in mud and shot with his backup machine gun. The shots lit up the dark, damp jungle. Tearing apart brush, splashing in mud, and splintering through trees. Then everything went quite. Crow's heart danced in his chest, his eyes darting back and forth looking for the enemy. Something moved and he shot. "Eat this Zeon scum!" Crow roared and stood up firing. Flames licked up the trees further in the jungle. The Zeon Zaku 2's chest bullet ridden fell into the mud, destroyed.

"Does the Zeon principality really think they can take Jaburo in such harsh terrain?" Crow thought aloud. He started to tear the tropical leaves off nearby jungle trees and plant them of the drying mud of his Gundam. When he was done, he looked like a moving piece of the jungle itself. "Ground Gundam? More like Jungle Gundam now." Crow called it. Explosions rocked in the background. "Hopefully those weren't Federation pilots." Two dim lights could be seen deep in the jungle moving towards him. Crow lowered his Jungle Gundam to the ground blending in with the environment, and waited. He could feel the quake of the heavy mobile suit feet, trying to move through the harsh jungle mud. Crow's breathing slowed as he lifted the camouflaged machine gun and took aim. The red lights grew brighter and brighter, he could see the enemy's silhouette and fired. The Zaku turned and was gunned down in a rain of machine gun fire. The second Zaku strafed to the left firing blindly into the jungle.

The shots whipped past Crow's hidden Gundam and splashed into the mud, splattering it everywhere. Crow fired again, the low angle of fire tore into the Zaku's legs, and it went down.

"So far so good." Crow said hastily, his breathing fast and heavy now. A large splash nearby caught Crow off guard. He turned and raised his machine gun. It was the heavily armored, orange and black Gundam. It's red eyes beaming incredibly bright. "What do you want from me? Who are you?" Crow screamed, pointing his gun at the strange Gundam. " Why should I tell you anything?" Lok spat under his glowing red mask. "Why? Because if you don't I destroy you here and now! Now I want answers!" Crow shot back. The red eyes of the Armored Gundam flashed blinding Crow. "I'm a 'Special' operative, so to say." Lok explained. Crow started to fire his machine gun but Lok was on him already. The Armored Gundam grabbed the tropical Gundam and slammed it into the muddy earth. Crow looked up into the eerie, bright red Gundam eyes.

"What type of Gundam is that? Doesn't look quite Earth Federation to me!" Crow quipped. Before Lok could reply again, three Zeon Zaku 2s crashed through the Jungle's roof. Lok boosted up in a flash, red saber in hand, and cut down a Zaku in mid air. Sparks rained down on Crow. "That's not natural..." Crow whispered to himself. Lok's red mask beamed a burning white , and he was gone. The Jungle Gundam staggered to it's feet as the other two Zakus hit the ground , splitting cleanly in half. "Saber marks?" Crow said amazed at what he just saw , and started on his path back to base.
