...Gundam Fight! Ready! GO!...
(Old air field)
The people inside the damaged APC moved to watch the two massive machine's outside. The men grew nervous as they waited for these two Titans would do to each other. Then the silence was ended as the Black and red Gundam known as Epyon charged at the other unknown Gundam.
"Aw man do you see those thing's out there?! Their huge! "
'' Which one do we root for?'' The men questioned each other as the fight started.
Dasuke moved into the back just in time to hear what they were saying.
"You idot we're hoping the red winged one will win! That kid who busted us out is in that thing!"
As the men turned back and looked at the two machines Professor G narrowed his eyes at the Epyon remebering some hidden detail about the Gundam before moving on to the other one. He then turned back to his commrades
"Excuse me Doktor S but I do believe your creation is having a stand off with our rescurer."
The other man with spikey old porcupine-like gray hair and a bizarre large prosthetic brown nose held on by two straps. "Well what do you know. Heavy Arms, but I wonder who is piloting it." Doktor S voiced his concern.
Professor G looked back at the two titans glaring each other down. "With any luck it will be who we hope it is. Lets just hope this Zero character can hold him off."
"Indeed."
(Back to the fight)
Lelouch stared at the gundam across from him with anger in his eyes as the neural link helmet started to work. (/ Target located.. commence destruction../). The Epyon quickly dashed towards Heavyarms with its sword raised high above its head in attempt for a downward slash. However Epyon had to backpeddel away when Heavyarms dodged and aimed its double barrel arm weapon in his direction. Lelouch eyes glowed a faint yellow as they narrowed at the other Gundam's action
(/ Modifying tactics. /)
Just as the words left his lips he had a breif flashback of the Epyon's whip crashing down on his half brother Clovis and his nightmare of the Epyon doing the same to him causing him to stop.
(What the hell is happining!) he thought as he gripped the controls. Suddenly his mind bursted with pain as he strained to understand the sudden visions. He gripped the side of his head and hissed even when his sight returned to normal.
(Warning. Operation time has exceeded set limits. Complicatons may occur.)
(/I just have to focus on my enemy... I'll WIN!/) Lelouch yelled as he moved the controls forward.
The Epyon raised his green beam saber above his head as he dashed at Gundam Heavy Arms who retaileated by firing bullets from its right handed weapon. Epyon moved to bring his blade in a downward slash only to miss as HeavyArms fired its thrusters to the side, with a clear shot it fired a few rounds into Epyon's chest making him step back out of the line of fire. Deciding to approach from behind Epyon circled around the other Gundam to avoid the bullets hurling at him and dashed towards Heavy arms in a attempt to cut its weapon arm.
HeavyArms moved its gun just in time avoiding the slash and responded with smashing the weapon into the face of Epyon. Knocked off balance and with the momentum of the thruster still going the Epyon crashed into the ground and rolled, only to stop and stare into the sky.
(/ DAMN It!/ ) the Epyon's eyes brightened up as if Lelouch's rage was being channeled into the gundam.
(WARNING! INCOMING PROJECTILES!) The system sounded out as the proximity sensor alerted him to something heading his way. Lelouch made the Epyon roll to its side as the series of bullets slammed into the spot they had just been occupying.
In a flash Epyon got up and faced HeavyArms from a crouched position on the ground. Cat-like he moved left avoiding another barrage of bullets. He saw an opening and quickly moved in for a quick slash with his beam saber. HeavyArms moved towards Lelouch's Gundam bringing its other arm up to show a blade sproute from its wrist. Leouch forced the Epyon to stop and avoided the bladed weapon aimed for his Gundam's chest the sudden shift of movement caused him to grimace in pain as the cockpit shook.
( /Now's my chance!/ ) Lelouch yelled out as he wrapped the Epyons whip around the gun barrels of HeavyArms.
Lelouch readied the beam saber to cut into the chest of his foe;but his eyes widened at the site of HeavyArms chest plate opening to show its lethal secret.
"You left yourself wide open." Spoke the pilot of Heavy arms as he primed the weapons to fire.
(Meanwhile)
"Son of a Bitch! How many guns does this guy have?!" yelled Dasuke as he helped Professor G and the others into the open hanger. His jaw dropping in astonishment as HeavyArms displayed even more of its seemingly endless arsenal of weapons.
"I designed HeavyArms to be a vessel of mass destruction - its armaments unconquerable." Doktor S stated matter of factly as he looked back at his creation beaming with pride at its perfection.
"Excuse me! You mean you built that atrocity? " One of the prisoners spoke up bringing Doktor S attention back to them.
"Wait! Then what about the other one the kid is in?" Dasuke asked appalled at the scope of evil contained in the mind of Doktor S.
Before Doktor S could answer Professor G cut him off. "I'm afraid that Gundam is a different story altogether."
(Back to the fight)
The two barrels inside HeavyArms chest unleashed a hail of bullets forcing the other Gundams whip to let go. Epyon recoiled away and crossed its arms to defend itself from the onsault; without hesitation HeavyArms sent a strong kick sending Epyon stumbling backwards. Following shortly after the right shoulder of HeavyArms opened up to fire a couple of missiles at its target.
( WARNING! INCOMING PROJECTILES!) The system warned again this time indicating the screaming pods of death heading towards Epyon.
Lelouch reacted instructing Epyon to blast into the air to avoid them. As they exploded in the distance he started hovering in the air while looking for his enemy. Spotting his opponent below him,he readied his beam weapon to finish the fight.
(/"Now I got you!"/)
Epyon dive bombed towards HeavyArms intent on the kill, only to be stunned as the other Gundam managed to barely dodge to the side and delivered a stabbing elbow to Epyon. Recovering shortly after the blow Epyon moved to the side avoiding the bullets sent his way. Firing its boosters to full power Epyon readied its saber for a horizontal slash only for HeavyArms to lean away to avoid the swing. This time Epyon's calculated follow up a swift shoulder thrust delivering HeavyArm's a jarring blow knocking it back and stunning its pilot with the impact.
" What is with these moves? This isn't Zechs but how...", the pilot never finished when he looked at his montior to see Epyon moving towards him sword pointing forward in a lunge. As Epyon was just about to plunge his sword a missile followed by gunfire flew by causing both of them to stop and look towards the source.
"Zero!" a very familiar voice echoed over the airwaves as several Slutherlands, painted in the pureist faction colors, were moving towards the two Gundam's along with several groups of tanks and Votol gunship's.
(few hours ago )
Jeremiah was mad - no scratch that- he was furious at the humatlion this Zero character caused for him. Tho he could barly remeber what had transpired when he was transporting Suzaku to his court marshall when Zero showed up in that damn demon kightmare from before and basically took the blame for killing Clovis. Jeremiah couldn't recall what had happen but Kewell and Villetta Nu both stated that he had ordered them to do everything in their power to get away. This caused some of his men to look at him with hated sneers as he supposedly let a terroist get away. With his honor and rank put into question after this horrible incident Jeremiah ordered the troops under his command to search for any signs of the monster machine but it had apparently vanished.
However a few hours later the Yokosuka naval base was attacked by a lone machine that had also managed to get a few of the prionsers out. The distress signal from the bases operator had given a descripiton of the enemy that had smashed through their forces. Jeremaih smiled,feeling a sense of deja-vu. He orderd his forces to hunt down Zero and his monstrosity; however when they arrived the base was already in ruin. In a cloud of dust and destruction a few mangled surviors tried to pull their ravaged forces togther.
This did not bode well for Jeremiah as the culprit could not be seen meaning they were too late to provide any assistance.
This feuled Jeremiah's fury. The futile search for the attacker had made the men even more weary of his command, especailly Kewel. Sounds of gunfire echoed from the distance. Its origin seemed to be the old fields used during the war when the elevens were still resisting their rightful rulers. Seeing the flashes in the far distances of the horizon. Jeremiah moved his men towards the fight hoping to kill the bastard that stained his honor.
( current time)
Sitting in his knightmare as it was being flown in a votol transport towards the objective point his attention was brought to the monitor as it came to life with images of two targets. One being the familiar Epyon and the other sharing some similier features the difference being it was colors were orange, red and white on the body and sporting a visible long range weapon on its right arm.
( There's another one! If it's here then it must have something to do with Zero.) Jeremiah came up with assumptions as he flew closer to the target.
" Jeremaih I don't know about this? There's another machine along with Zero's. What do we do?" Villetta had just voiced Jeremiah's own thought - something was different.
Jeremiah made a split second change and stated "We have no way of identification on either target! They don't appear to show up on our radar! Assume unfriendly, engage and destroy!" Jeremaih barked orders to his men, feeling the surge of adrenaline as he prepared his sutherland to drop into battle.
" What makes you think I'll follow any order you give me!" Kewell raged across the radio challenging Jeremaihs command.
" Kewell! Focus your stupid ass on our objective and stop acting like a high school dick head! We need to work together to take out Zero." Villetta spoke up in Jeremaih's defense.
(Thank you Villetta.) Jeremaih smiled as he sliently thanked his friend. "All units attack! Surround them and tear them apart!"
" Yes my lord!" the his forces acknowledged just as his sutherland made land fall.
As the units moved their locations were shown as green blips on his monitor. The location of the enemy however remained unseen on the radar.
( We really need to do something about that.) he thought as one of the aircraft fired a missle towards their target as the rest of his forecs moved into place.
(Pov change)
Lelouch looked at his monitor to see a large mass of Brittianian forces heading in his direction. (/ Great! Now their here!/) Epyon turned to face both Heavyarm's and the new threat approaching him.
(I'll have to find a way out of this. But how?) A gunship went ahead of the others and fired its payload at Epyon, the misslies flew past as Epyon moved to the side and readied himself to move forward. He suddenly stopped when he saw Heavy-Arms fire its twin barrelled arm at the Brittianian forces making Lelouch widen his eyes at the action.
Lelouch turned back to the Sutherlands advancing towards Epyon and flew towards them while trying to keep an eye on Heavy-arm not really understanding why it was firing at the Brittianian forces. Epyon was aimed his blade at the lead Sutherland cutting an arm off when it tried to avoid the slash. Quickly looking to his left he saw two Sutherlands come up near his flank unloading their rifle's at him. Epyon quickly reached out and caught one Sutherland in his grip, letting out sparks as the its frame was being crushed. The pilot let out a trerrified scream as his Knightmare exploded causing Epyon to be surrounded by smoke.
"Damnit it got Simon! Come on let's kill this damn monster" The partner Sutherland followed by a few tanks moved towards the smoke cloud readying a Knightmare Missle launcher. The knightmare pilot widen his eyes when Epyon emerged from the smoke casusing him to shot in point blank range.
"Yeah I got him! Whaa.." He looked back to see a series of bullets destroy his support tanks. As he was watching them go up in smoke he didn't see the Epyon's shadow until a bright green blade pireced his knightmare form the middle.
"But how ..." he never finished as his Suhterland exploded.
Lelouch's eyes seemed to become red as more enemies surrounded him. He studied them for a while before readying Epyon's sword for battle.
(/ Enemies located moving to engage./) He fired his thrusters making Epyon burst towards the closest Sutherland. The Gundam's eyes seemed to brighten as he raised the green blade for a diagonl slash.
"Aahh" The Sutherland was cut in half and burst into flames as the beam blade sliced right through it.
Moving through the remains of the falled frame came several tanks moving towards the Demon Gundam. They moved to circle around Epyon and fired drawing his attention and making Lelouch sneer with blood lust. He burst towards them and shot out his whip making it wrap around one and quickly threw it towards another tank, crushing them both. The third tank tried in vain to move away until it was stomped into the ground by a Gundanium foot. while he was dispatching the last tank, a pair of Sutherlands moved towards Epyon firing their weapons while keeping their distance. Epyon looked over its shoulder to glare at the smaller machines
(/ I'll Get RID OF THEM!/)
Epyon's whip glowed orange as he swung his arm around making the whip pass by the Sutherland's. They stood still for a few seconds before bursting into flames. Watching the flames buring away the Knightmare frames remains the whip turned back to its normal black color as Epyon moved his head from side to side.
(Anyone who fights is my enemy!/) sweat rolled down Lelouch's face as he breathed heavily while looking around for more victims.
"ZERO!" A one armed Sutherland drew his attention.
"You Monster!' Jereimah yelled as he moved Sutherland up close while raising his melee weapon out and aimed it towards the Gundam's chest. Only for Epyon catch Jereimah's knightmare in his grip casuing him to jerk inside his Sutherland as it was suddenly lifted up off the ground by the much larger machine. His eyes widen when he saw Epyon swinging his arm down sending his sutherland crashing hard against the Earth. The entire frame was totalled as limbs fell off and sparks shot all around showing the damage.
'What the hell is with that thing!" Jereimah eyes then widened as he looked in his monitor to see a bright green blade pointed directly where he was sitting at.
When suddenly Epyon turned around and started walking away form Jereimah making him raise an eyebrow at the action. "He's turned his back on me? Dosen't he consider me a threat! That no good son of a..."
The back boosters of Epyon burned bright as the it speed off causeing jeremiahs Sutherland to be blown back.
Lelouch eyes were burning with muderious intent as he moved to a new target.
(meanwhile with Heavyarm's)
"Villetta with me! We're taking out the one with the big gun!" Kewell said as he moved his Sutherland towards Heavy-arm's while it was firing at a few gunship's. It turned to Kewell and attempted to target him. In a split second Kewell responded with lightning speed wrapping his slash harken around its arm. Heavy-arm's turned to see another slash harken on his other arm. The Sutherland responsible was now pulling with all it's might to keep his arm still.
"Looks like your no good at close quarter's!" Villetta voiced out as she and Kewell fired at Heavy-arms only to prove nothing as the armor showed no effect.
(Damn it's just like the other one!) Villetta eyes widened when she saw a blade sprout out from its normal arm and pulled her Sutherland towards itself making her panic. Heavy-arms then cut the slash harken cable making Villetta's Sutherland fall onto its back.
"Damnit! I can't move my Sutherland!" The force of the impact had blown some circuts making hard for it to moved off it cockpit hatch.
Heavy-Arms turned its head towards Kewell and fired its twin vulcan cannons at his Sutherland blowing one of its legs off.
" What!" Kewell's Sutherland crashed face first onto the ground. He looked up at his montior to see Heavy-arm's aiming at him.
"Shit" he pulled his ejection lever casusing his cockpit to blast off just as the frame went up in flames as the spray of bullets impacted it.
"Your tactis were good. But you underestimated your target and I don't reward the careless." The Heavy-arm's pilot voiced out as he turned back to see severl tanks heading in both his and Epyon's direction. Heavy-arm's Chest opened up and unleashed a hail of death towards them. When the smoke from the tank's destruction cleared he looked to see more heading in their direction. He turned to see Epyon slash apart tanks and Sutherlands unaware of the enemies reinforcment's.
The pilot's radio came to life drawing his attention. "Trowa! Trowa! Is that you!"
"Who is this. Identfiy youself." the Pilot of Heavy-Arms answered his radio.
" Finally We got your signal! Listen Trowa its me Howard."
"Howard! How did you end up here?"The pilot now named Trowa widen his eyes a little bit in disbelief. He turned Heavy-Arms back to look at the hanger to see rocket shell's crash around it causing a portion of the building to collaspe.
"Listen we'll catch up on that later! Right now we need to get the Gundam scientists and the other's out of here now!"
Trowa only smiled at the news he just heard already at the point of nothing supriseing him at the momment.
"So their here as well. Then tell me what about the Epyon?"
"He's on our side but I can't reach his radio! We need to leave here before these Britt's overwhelm us or worse!"
"So what's your escape plan."
"I've got a couple of vechile's for us to get out. The problem is we won't make it five seconds without something to throw these guys off. And we got to hurry we just got word that those Britt's are sending in some air ordiance!"
Heavy-arms turned back to the fight to see Epyon standing over a down Sutherland with a emerald blade aimed at it's cock-pit. Noticing something in the far off distance he looked to see the shape of military jets heading their way making him frown at their approach.
"LOOK OUT!"
Trowa looked to the side just as Eypon shoulder smashed into Heavy-Arms making the pilot grimmace in pain as the cock-pit shook. While trying to keep from falling under Epyon's violent assualt Trowa spotted a beam sword being aimed for the kill. Acting quickly Heavy-Arms managed to push Epyon away and fire a short burst from its chest gatlings forcing the Demon Gundam to retreat away. The Epyon took one steep towards Heavy-Arms when suddenly froze with the beam sword deactivating leaving the two Gundams to stare at each other.
"What the hell is he doing?" Trowa pondered as he stuided the Epyon.
(back with The Epyon)
The Lelouch glared at the Gundam in front of him as Epyon moved away to avoid being damaged. Lelouch seemed to stare at Heavy-Arms letting the system guideing him to seek it's destruction.
(/ Commence destruction...huh/) Lelouch froze as a image of a woman with long black hair and kind eyes appeared before him. The Woman apperaed to be smiling towards him making Lelouch stop and look in confusion as she quickly faded away just as she reached out to him.
(/ Mother?!...Gahh!/) Lelouch's mind then burst into pain as his vision doubled and he gripped his head. She appeared again only this time covered with bullet holes and looking at him with lifeless eyes. ( ...What am I doing.../).
Lelouch sat quietly in the cockpit as he shivered from the pain of the vision he had just received. (/ What the hell is happening!/)
(Warning. Neural activaity levels ciritcal. Warning. System overload.)
His breathing grew heavy as he looked around to see nothing but fire and smoke. (/ That was my Mother...but why?/)
(No data available on 'Mother'. Neural relapse may have occured.)
Lelouch's vision was blurry as he tried to handle the pain his body was going through. The world around him sounded like he was underwater. He thought he heard a voice calling for him but it was too far and muffled to be understood. The Epyon stood against the flames that sourrounded him but its eyes seemed dull as the ash fell upon the black and red plates.
(Warning Incoming projectles!.)
The missiles crashing around Epyon casued Lelouch to snap out of his trance. He looked from side to side to see the entire area quickly filled up with craters as fire and smoke soon covered the area. The Epyon moved in time to avoid a missile and looked back to see it crash into the hanger's doors. Just as the metal doors fell to pieces a couple of vechiles burst forth from the smoke. One was a black jeep being driven by Dasuke and Mister Z who was trying to hang onto his sunglasses as the Jeep swirved to avoid the rain of missiles. The other was a large military cargo with a tarp over the back however before Leouch could see who was driving, he lost sight of it as a few bombs bursted around it.
"Zero can you hear us!" Mister Z yelled into the handheld radio keeping it close to his head to block out the sounds of screaming missiles and explosion's.
However Lelouch didn't responed as his mind was still hasy over his vision.
(/ Epyon... I've had enough for today./) His voice showed signs of exhuastion. He quickly shifted the controls casuing the Epyon to move away from the other Gundam and looked towards the settlement.
(Affirmative. Setting quide markers for last cordinates. Destination 'Scrapyard ' set.)
The Epyon's beam saber powered off as the demon Gundam then proceeded to move towards the distant settlement uncaring of the hell sorrounding him. Lelouch enventually commanded the Gundams boosters to power up and take flight and didn't even bother to check his radar but it didn't matter as the choas around him spirled out of control with command temporally lost the enemy couldn't fouces on one unit.
(pov change)
"All forces report in! What the hell's happening!"
"Where the hell's Jerimah Gottwald?! We've got reported casualty form all squads!"
"We lost contact with the enemy! All forces spread out and report what you find!-"
Jereimah shook his head as he exited his damgaed knightmare into a thick cloud of smoke that dissipated revealing the large machine had vanished.
( Damn it. I'm not going to hear the end of this.) He reached his ear piece as he heard yelling over the radio.
"Attention all forces this is Margrave Jeremiah issuing a general retreat order. Everyone head back to the settlement."
"But sir, shouldn't we contiue to search for the enemy?" a soldier responed
"Negative our forces are barely holding together after this. Just follow your squad leaders back." Jeremiah said in a depressed tone as he watched his men tiredly regroup the vehicles and head wearily back towards the settlement.
"Whats going to happen now my lord?" Villetta asked walking up to Jeremiah after leaving her own damaged knightmare.
" I wish I knew Villetta but whatever happens it cannot bode well for us in the future." Jeremiah said as he scanned the field of desolation left in the wake of hid advesaries.
(-scene break Some time later Old scarpyard - )
A skinny black cat moved stealthly through the piles of rusty scrap, like a lion hunting its prey, before being sidetracked by the aromatic smell of the nearby garbage bins. Hunger knawed at his stomach as he decided to go dumpster diving for something to eat. After a sudden tremor shook the ground, he stopped and poked his head out hearing the approach of something long before it was within sight. From the corner of his eye, emerged the towering figure known as Epyon. The giant mech was moving towards the open doors of a nearby warehouse. The tremors of the Epyon's footsteps caused a pile of scrap metal to fall, and making the cat jump and dash away.
The Epyon finally stopped and crouched inside as he reached the hanger doors. Lelouch breath was labored as he opened the doors of the cock-pit of the gundam. Struggling to get out of his seat, he landed on his feet after using the loading rope. He moved two steps before collasping onto the ground. His exhaustion grew as he crawled,and his vision blurred with each passing moment. He noticed an outline of somebody walking towards him but he couldn't make out their features. Lelouch reached out as this figure crouched next to him when he suddenly slips unconcious.
The only word to excape his lips were "Nunnally..."
(End)
The conforation between the two Gundam has come to a close with Lelouch almost losing his mind over the vision of his dead mother. However, he is able to regain his grip on reality for the time. Will our masked crusader be able to get the answers he seeks? And what of the mysterious Gundam that attacked him only to provide aide against the Brittiannians? Find out in our next thrilling chapter of Code Epyon:
Well that's it for this one. I hope you liked this chapter, I know it took me a long time. I just kept coming up with ideas for different ideas plus I still have to fulfill my other responsibilities with work, college and family leaving a little less time to devote to my hobby but I love it so I'll be back... eventually. You know how crazy life can get. Any who, I'm not going to waste much of your time or mine rambling on when I could be working on chp 6. Take care guys. If this chapter wasn't to your liking and you want to redo the fight to improve it -I'm open to suggestions but I'm trying to work on getting the Gundam Wing universe into Code Geass. Oh and to those of you who sent me PM's that I haven't responded to; I appreciate all the ideas and critiques.I'm sorry that I have not personally responded to each of you but please understand college has been taking alot of my time. Thank you for reading.
