The Dead soldier.
OK Here it is now the new chapter tried my best hope you all enjoy. Also who do you think Dead should be paired with was thinking Miriallia but what do you think.
It had been one hell of a night. After Meeting Dead who introduced himself as 00 as his code name. As he did not trust them yet. He and captain ramius worked out a deal, they would allow him on the ship and give him the miens to get parts for his mobile suit, and ammo for his gun and a place to stay and food. If he in turn would help them out. He agreed on the terms they stay away from his suit or he would activate the self destruct and blow them all up. Andd he was allowed to do things his way, thus he was kinda like a mercenary.
Dead was checking over Epyon. Some of the mechanics tried to get a closer look, and Dead shot at them.
He then felt a presence as he
he saw the blond haired mobile armor ace, Mu La Flaga, standing there. "What is it?" Dead asked.
"Well, the newbies on the bridge just finished their shift and are down in the mess hall. I have some time off too, so I figured I'd see if you wanted to join us, get to know your new crew mates."
Dead thought about it for a moment, then shrugged. "Why not?" They made they way to the mess hall were Kira and his friends were. As they entered Fllay left with Sai fallowing her.
"Hey there," said Mu, "mind if we join? We're both starving." Dead just rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Sure.'' Said Kira, as both of them grabbed plates and loaded up at the nearby serving counter. They sat down at the table.
They were quiet for a while, till Miriallia spoke.
"I'm Miriallia Haw. Thanks for saving us earlier."
"Don't worry about it." Said Dead like it was nothing.
She motioned over at her boyfriend, "And that's Tolle. The black haired guy is Kuzzey, and the blonde guy Sai and thats Flay ."
It was quiet for a few minutes before Tolle spoke up. "So, are you a Coordinator too?"
"Tolle!" said Miriallia, "Try a little tact." She looked over at Dead, "Sorry about that. He's a nice guy, but can be a bit dense at times."
"Hey!" said Tolle.
Dead just sighed and shook his head. "Don't worry about it. And to answer your question, no, I'm not a Coordinator."
All were shocked, although Kira and Mu were not. Kira because of what Dead had told him, and Mu because Dead had actually volunteered a blood sample in the ship's med bay before he had gone to his quarters, which proved that he was, not a Coordinator. Tho his DNA was different and he did not seem like a normal natural the doctor had sent the report to the bridge, where Mu was at with the other senior officers at the time. He kept what he was a secret.
"Wait a minute," said Miriallia, "then how can you pilot a mobile suit?"
Mu stepped in. "Does it really matter? He did save your necks after all."
Miriallia looked somewhat abashed. "You're right, Mr. La Flaga. Sorry."
"It's alright," Dead said. "The truth is, I underwent extremely intensive training. My reaction times were sped up considerably as a result." This was somewhat of an oversimplification of his abilities as a newtype, as well as most of his upbringing and his training in the art of war, but he didn't feel like giving them to meany details. "Im also just naturally gifted.''
"Wait," Asked Tolle, "So you're saying that with enough training, a Natural can pilot a mobile suit?" Dead was unsure how to respond.
Mu spoke up. "Sorry kid," he said, "but I'm afraid it's a bit more complicated than that."
"Aw, what do you mean?" Tolle asked.
"Look, kid, don't worry about it. The point is, neither you or I will be piloting anything like the Strike or 00's machine any time soon."
The talk died down for a while. "So 00 where are your parents?'' Asked Miriallia.
Dead said Nothing he just got up and left.
"I think you said something you should not have.'' Said Kuzzy.
Later that night most aboard the Archangel was asleep however on a sand dune stood two men. One was drinking coffee while another watched the ship with a pair of goggles.
"Sir, should we order the attack?" asked the second man as his commander sipped some coffee.
"Yes, I suppose we should launch the attack." said Andrew Waltfeld also known as the Desert Tiger sipped his coffee. Slowly he turned around and slid down the sand dune drinking his coffee as he went. When he stopped he walked toward the group of BuCUEs and attack helicopters. "Alright everyone listen up our mission is to test the fighting capabilities of the new mobile suit on that ship and to take the ship down if possible.."
"Can we destroy it, sir?" Asked one of the pilots
"We can cross that bridge if we come to that, but remember the 8th fleet gave their lives to bring that ship to Earth and the Le Creuset team couldn't bring them down." said Andrew "Now man your mobile suits."
Meanwhile onboard the Archangel Mu La Flaga was working on his Skygrasper fighter with the head engineer. "Do you think this thing can be mad\e to go faster?"
"I think so, but we will not know for sure until we get it into the air again." said the mechanic
"How is that kid doing?" asked La Flaga as he looked up at Epyon only to see Dead sitting at the controls and looking at a computer screen.
"I have never seen a kid work so hard on a machine. He has been work around the clock, don't know on what." Said the Mechanic.
"So the anomaly that brought me here opens and closes every now and then.'' said Dead as he looked over the early computer readings of the anomaly.
Epyon's eyes flashed as Dead lowered his head before turning off the computer.
"I know Epyon, the odds of us getting home are one in a trillion but we have to try." Said Dead. "And we still need to find Kortax and his base.''
"All hands to level two battle station!" yelled a voice over the loud speakers as the ship's anti-air batteries opened up. "Kira Yamato, 00 and Mu La Flaga man your machines."
"They think they can order us around Epyon." said Dead as the ship rocked from a missile hit. "However no sense letting a chance to fight go to waste. Don't you agree Epyon?"
Epyon's eyes flashed as the cockpit door closed. "Understood Epyon, we will go when you feel it is right." Said Dead.
Meanwhile on the bridge the captain had just sat in her chair. "Report!"
"We are under attack, by how many we have no idea. They are using the dunes to hide their numbers and movements." Reported Sai
"Is Kira ready?" asked Ramius as Kira's face appeared on a screen.
"The Strike is ready, where is the enemy I will take care of them." said Kira
"We still don't know." said Badgiruel as the Strike entered the catapult system.
"It Dose not matter I will take care of them." snapped Kira
"Well Captain?" asked Badgiruel
"I don't like his attitude but it can't be helped. Fine" said the captain.
"I'll take the Launcher." Said Kira as the parts where then added to the Strike's body and the heavy cannon was picked up.
"I wouldn't recommend that match up Kira." Said a voice as Dead appeared on the screen. "It is most likely Baucus based on the terrain, you will need the ability to move."
"There is no sign of enemy Baucus." said Badgiruel as she sat in the control section of the bridge.
"Alright I am leaving." Said Kira as the Strike shot out the Archangels launch bay. The moment it landed it slid to its knees in the shifting sand.
"Well looks like it has finally come out." said the desert tiger "Alright send in the BuCUE."
"Captain enemy mobile suits coming in at high speeds." said Miriallia
"they are BuCUEs." Said Sai as Dead grinned and Kira tried to hit one but he couldn't
"What are the statues on Epyon and the Skygrasper?" asked Ramius.
"00 bring your mobile suit to the launcher." Ordered Badgiruel
"Too late, he has already launched." said Miriallia
"How, we didn't use the catapult?" asked Badgiruel.
"This is bad." thought Kira as he jumped from asand dune to sand dune firing but hitting nothing. He landed on top of one of the many tall dunes and once again the Strike started to slide.
"Time to die!" yelled a BuCUEs pilots over the radio as he jumped at the Strike. There was nothing Kira could do to stop this attack, it was to near and his machine couldn't move. Suddenly a blur even to him flew by and right though the enemy BuCUE right before it went up in a explosion. When the light died there stood .
"Its the unknown mobile suit from before. Interesting." said the Desert Tiger.
"I told you they would use BuCUEs." stated Dead. "also you need to adjust your computers to deal with the sand. That will allow you to stand."
"Thanks." said Kira as he started to work the math into the computer.
"I'll handle them." said Dead as he turned Epyon toward some attack copters as his twin guns appeared on its head fired.
"So the second pilot has adjusted his machine for the desert sand. Interesting." said the Desert Tiger before turning to his radio man. "Relay this to our new Lesseps, and fire main cannon at the enemy vessel."
"Yes, sir." said the officer as he picked up his radio as an explosion happened. The desert Tiger looked at the explosion just in time to see his attack copters go down. He followed several of their mobile suits.
"So that new suit has chain guns hidden on its head." said the . Miles away half way hidden inside a dune sat the Zaft new Lesseps battleship brought in to replace the first one dead destroyed, its main cannon turned toward the Archangel and fired.
"Heat source detected." said Sai "its cannon 30 miles south west."
"Evade." Ordered Ramius
"There is no time." Said Sai as the ship rocked from the explosion and the takeoff.
"Kira, you protect the ship. I'll take care of the enemy ship." Said Dead as Epyon flew off. Next thing anyone saw as strangle looking jet fly out of the sand toward the enemy war ship.
"So that suit can transform into a flight mode interesting." said Andrew Waltfeld.
"Sir, it's heading toward the new Lesseps." said the officer
"Alright then tell them to launch all remaining BuCUEs and to shoot that mobile suit out of the sky not gonna loose another ship. Meanwhile this one should almost be out of power." said the Tiger as the Archangel launcher opened up again.
"Mu La Flaga launching in Skygrasper 1." said La Flaga as the jet rocketed out of the Archangel.
"That was not on the report." said Andrew as the sound of a huge explosions to the southwest ripped right through the air.
"Commander, the Lesseps is calling!" called the soldier as he handed the radio to his commander.
"This is Waltfeld speak."
"Commander, we are under attack. A mobile suit is tearing us apart, that monsters already taken down the BuCUEs and the main gun is destroyed." Said the captain of the 2nd Lesseps as smoke filled the bridge. "Sir, we have to pull back oh god its coming." The transmission went fuzzy as an explosion happened were the ship was.
"My God." said La Flaga as he watched from above as Epyon destroyed another enemy battleship.
"Message from La Flaga." said Miriallia as Badgiruel and Ramius looked at her. "Epyon has destroyed the 2nd Lesseps."
"The Lesseps?" asked Ramius
"the Strike's power level has falling." said Miriallia
Kira looked at the screens and saw that he was surrounded, with his armor down to such a low power a single hit would kill him and Epyon was to far away. Suddenly out of nowhere an exposition hit one of the copters. Kira looked in the direction the fire came from only to see four small trucks shooting at them. One of them came to a stop next to the Strike and fired a small transmitter onto the mobile suit.
"Listen up pilot of this mobile suit, if you want to live do exactly what I tell you." Came a female voice as a map with a red dot appeared on Kira's screen. "Here is a trap we set for Zaft. Bring the BuCUEs there."
"Freedom fighters?" asked Badgiruel
"So it would seem." said Ramius the Strike started toward the location on the map, the BuCUEs in hot pursuit.
the Tiger looked at the explosion. "Order our withdraw."
"Sir, message from the Lesseps." said the officer.
"What is it?"
"It's the automatic SOS. Sir, the Lesseps has been destroyed."
"Alright fall back to HQ." ordered the Tiger as the sun started to rise over the desert.
Well thats it for now hope you all enjoyed, please review.
