Mobile Suit Gundam

DECIMATION

CREED 08: It Rings a Blade

Within the Guyana Highlands, a civilian resistance group was formed to oppose an alarming threat. Using hidden factories in around the world and in the lunar cities, Red Dawn develops and produces their own mobile suit forces in which a group of Jackals formed a straight line, getting into position from the opposing party.

"Commander Phlax, are sensors indicating something approaching from the horizon," informed Hazar. Their commander took a look and saw the shadowish frame of what looked to be a mobile suit. As the sun was going down it cast a shadow over it. The only thing the group of Jackals could see was what looked to be a giant size ring in the back of the approaching mobile suit. The mobile suit and its squad suddenly stopped, allowing the suit to take a few steps forward. The mobile suit lifted up its arm and grabbed the ring from its back. The giant size ring maneuvered over to the front as the arm stretched outward to the right and began charging.

"Sir, what the hell is that thing?"

"I don't know and I don't care…FIRE!" ordered the Commander. His group used their beam machine gun and fired shot after shot. The charge suddenly stopped and with grace the mobile suit swung the ring from right to left and jolt from the force of the smug unleashed an un-seeable change in the beam's reaction, scattering them. The force not only scattered, but pressed hard up against the Jackals, "Ahhhh!" screamed Hazar. And with that the mobile suit swung the ring, letting go of it and it flew straight at the Jackal group, annihilating them all.

BACK WITHIN THE Quin-La, "You can't…you cannot return. Because you're dead…"

"Dead? What do you mean I'm dead?" she asked while turning around slowly to face him.

"Yes Lola, you are dead," said Alyist, pointing to the TV. Lola could not believe it.

"This is your TV-Xtreme news reporter Idalia Caparelli, keeping you informed on the war declared by the Brothers of Solomon themselves recently. Tower Dolum was completely destroyed due to the horrific battle that took place. We've confirmed that…yes, all the pilots within the area are in fact confirmed dead do a blast fired from a cannon and the collapsing of the Tower. I'm sorry to say that there were no survivors. More about the farming facility that was burned to the ground later on tonight, back to you Abby." Lola stormed straight to the subbridge and confronted Idalia,

"What the hell were you thinking!"

"What?" asked Idalia with a puzzling look on her face. Idalia was in the process of submitting footage on the farm back to her news network.

"You report that I'm dead! Without asking me if I'm okay with that?" asked Lola.

"We had to report on something and besides, your side is probably wondering where you've been. I thought it best to say that you're dead."

"She's right though. Sooner or later you will have to be pick a side Lola. I'm just saying," informed Cici.

"Cici did I ask for your opinion. No, so shut up. You were in on this too, weren't you Elijah? You know what, screw you…the both of you," Lola said and bolted to her room.

"Zan," said Etrius.

"On it sir." Zan ran after his sister, wondering what's going on in her head. Rumors of her being an Anointed One had reached his ears, but he thought that just couldn't be because he was as normal as they come. He knocked as the door slid open. Lola was sitting on the floor with her knees up hiding her face.

"Hey, cheer up," said Zan, flopping down next to her.

"How can I cheer up? My Lieutenant Commander attack me, more and more each time I pilot the Helloid I feel like I'm losing myself and lets no forget—that I'm apparently dead," she expressed.

"Yeah…that'll do it," said Zan jokingly. "Look, all I'm sayin' is that…you got me. And the fellas and…"

"…and?"

"Alyist. Dude really does care about you," said Zan.

"Yeah…he's sweet. He I know! Let's leave here," suggested Lola.

"Leave here say whad?"

"Let's just go and have some fun for once," said Lola, while jumping up. She grabbed and pulled Zan up to his feet.

"Where we going?" he asked, being pulled down the hall.

"We're close by Stratpoint Tower give or take a few," she said.

"Stratpoint…the city that never sleeps?" he asked as she continues leading him to the MS hanger.

"WHAT!" shouted Etrius.

"Yes sir, both the Gundam Helloid and a Jackal have left the Quin-La," confirmed Stacy.

"WELCOME LITTLE BROTHER, welcome to Stratpoint Tower!" said Lola with joy. Stratpoint Tower was in fact an E-Tower however its shape was that of a giant size see-through pyramid. They call this the city that never sleeps because the city's lights never turn off and the city itself is open to the public 24/7.

"So this is the city that never sleeps?" said Zan. They were in the mall section of the city and it was full of lively people of all ages and ethnicities. They both shopped around for a little bit and then headed over toward booth when suddenly from behind Lola was grabbed,

"AHHEY!"

"Lo…la!" stuttered Zan as the guy who grabbed Lola fully stood up. The guy was super tall and well built with salt & pepper hair and dark eyes.

"Hhaha, your guard was down, c'mon now," said the man.

"That voice…could it be. Ato!" said Lola as she swung her right leg back, kicking the man in the gut. His grip loosened and she pushed off of him and spun kicked him in his face. When she turned around her ruby eyes lit up with joy as she embraced the man.

"Ato, is it really you."

"Who else would it be?" he said. All three of them gathered together and sat at a food booth. They ordered a few drinks however Lola didn't feel like eating.

"Sooo…rumor has it that you were taken out in Dolum, but you see alive to me," said Ato.

"I'm sorry, who are you again?" asked Zan, lost.

"This is my best and dearest friend Ato. You probably don't remember him; you were very young when you met him. But Ato, what are you doing here?" said Lola.

"I'm here on business. La'har is very worried about you though," said Ato. Lola looked down at her drink as a drop of water dripped down from the glass. She knew that sooner or later she will have to come face to face with La'har, but will it be as his wife or as his enemy was the more important question.

"I figure he would be worried. But right now…I feel like dancing!" said Lola, slamming her hands down on the table. Lola excused herself and headed over to dance floor that was across from the food booth. She wanted to shake this stress away.

"May I have this dance?" There in front of here was Alyist, his passionate sapphire eyes shined as the lights in the club reflect off of them.

"But how…how did you find me?" she asked, stunned.

"Wasn't hard…besides I am an Anointed One. If properly trained you two can learn how," he said while extending his hand. She was hesitant at first, wondering if Alyist intentions are true to his feelings. She took his hand and he guided her to the dance floor.

Lola, Alyist, and everybody in the club that wanted to dance, lifted their hands up in the air and started clapping to the beat of the music. They placed their hands down and started rocking to the beat. Lola moved her lower body very slowly, as if time was slowing down, her curves waving away in a seductive belly dance. Alyist did the same, moving slow as if time had slowed down, but as the beat increased they moved more rapidly, feeling each other vibe. Lola started to wind her body up and down in a snake like motion, pressing her body onto his while he does the same, only when both their bodies made contact, Alyist snake like motion was moving away from Lola, but she kept right on him, bodies locked. Their bodies separated, but Lola turned around and placed her back against his chest, dancing ever so closely. And then it happened.

She closed her eyes and zoomed in on her energy to connection with Alyist's. Her senses extended out and touched his, going straight through inside his mind. He resisted at first, but then gradually allowed her entrance as she felt his defense weaken. With the two connected mentally, Lola probe deeper, their thoughts now joined, she saw him and what he know of his origin and he with her. With every second the music began to fade as silence deepened within the room. This connection was different and yet deeper than that one she forged with La'har. It seemed that she was traveling layer upon layer until something broke this bond. Lola fell to her knees; the jolt was too fast, forcing her out someone's thoughts so quickly.

"You okay?' he asked.

"I'm fine. What just happened?" she asked, seeing her brother running toward them.

"Lola…Alyist? Anyways, that jolt came from the military academy a few miles from here. Ato bounced up out of here," explained Zan.

"What, their attacking a military academy, but why?" she asked.

"Maybe to stop the Legion of Earth from building up more soldiers," thought Alyist to himself. "The Helloid is without its shield and beam rifle so be careful."

"Right. And…thank you," she smiled. "Alright here we go…GUNDAM HELLOID!"

FEW MILES FROM Stratpoint Tower, a small military academy was set to further train second time around soldiers. However the academy was being attack by a group of Zodacs.

"Ahh!" screamed the pilot in a Zodac as his mobile suit was taken out by a beamberang. Retrieved by the Helloid as it came back, Zan's Jackal fired its beam machine gun.

"Lola, something's coming!" shouted Zan, his scanners picking up something moving at high speed.

"The hell?" said Lola, zooming in on the image. Part of the mobile suit was green and red with a bit of yellow and to Zan's surprise a huge size ring on its back. "Ahh!" screamed Lola as the mobile suit slammed straight into the Helloid with its circular shoulders. The mobile suit backed off and while Lola tried the stop the Vulcans went off, causing the mobile suit to movie swiftly back. Lola finally stopped just as the Vulcan started to run on empty. The mobile suit lifted up its arm and grabbed the ring from its back. The giant size ring maneuvered over to the front and swung the ring, letting it go.

"ZAN!" shouted Lola, the mobile suit's weapon was aimed at her, but Zan's Jackal. The Jackal hit the ground as the ring-blade flew over it, slicing off the right arm. "Dammit," blurted out Lola as the mobile suit came from behind and grabbed her, lifting the gundam up into the air.

"Your guard was down," said the pilot. "That voice…" thought Lola as the Helloid right foot went back and kicked the mobile suit in its cockpit, forcing it to let go of its grip. The Helloid broke free and while in mid air spun around and kicked the mobile suit in its face. "That move…" thought the pilot.

"ATO!"

"LOLA!"

"But why Ato…why this?" she asked as his mobile suit reached over and grabbed the ring-blade before it was able to hit the Jackal a second time. "Answer me Ato, why are you here piloting that time, why attack a academy!"

"Shut up! By the look of that gundam I see that you've chosen that side to be on with your brother. As a friend our battle will be postpone. You have forty-eight hours to prepare yourself. We're enemies now…so brace yourself Lola, thus ends our friendship permanently," explained Ato, placing the ring-blade on his Alboraz.

"No! I won't fight you…I can't…Ato…ATO!" cried out Lola, but Ato's mobile suit kept walking onward.
