GUNDAM-W: Battalion
Episode: 0 ~Prelude To Terror~
The Years is after colony 250. The five original gundam
pilots are but past memories. Most dead, or dying. Nothing ,but forgotten
soldiers. The world is a changed place now. Total pacifism has become
reality. All weapons have been discarded, the five original gundams have been
destroyed, never to be seen again. A new company has taken the Romafeller
Foundations place, named Natu-Tech, (Pronounced Natchu-Tek). This company has
used the original gundam materials for peaceful causes. Making gundarium
alloy a house hold name. The main advancement with gundarium is the use for
it in space ships. It increases speed ,way past normal standards, providing a
gateway to planets further from Earth. Due to this, many mining colonies have
started on Mars, for it's rich resources! Talk of colonizing Venus is going
on at the moment also, but Natu-Tech's main project, is the remodeling of the
Zero System. Due to the fact that the Zero System increases reaction time, by
a large fraction, they have been talking of placing it in cars. Of course
that is out of the question, the Zero System interferes in your brain waves
to much for common domestic use. So they began research, on the relations
between man and machine, how the Zero System affects the brain, and how to
combat these side affects. Then, they switched projects. They started
researching on how to record brain thought. They were successful. The
resulted product,was the rediscovery of the Pyschommu system. This system
could control small robots with your mind,but it still needed more research.
This system was very hard on the brain, and normal people couldn't use it, so
the Natu-Tech Corp. started mixing it with the Zero System, so it would be
easier to use. Although this was good, in theory, there was an error in the
system. The combined power of the Pyschommu and Zero system would over load
the brain, the end result would be a creature free from emotion,, also, with
the capability twice the reaction time as a normal person would have. In the
process creating the perfect, killing machine. Also, the stress on the mind
is unimaginable, creating a rage filled, pure hate being. Which is what
Natu-Tech wanted. The Earth Alliance caught wind of this product, and shut
down their factories on Earth. Natu-Tech retreated back to space, planning
their revenge on humanity, their finest battle, their last stand. Fifteen
years later, it is after colony year 265. Once again the people have
forgotten about the evil of Natu-Tech. Peace was restored, until the
unexpected happened. N.T. Corp. has found the original plans to the mobile
suits, along with the gundam plans. With their high resources N.T. Corp. has
rebuilt a small army of mobile suits, with a number of gundams also. To test
the new gundams, they have chosen four soldiers. Once again they create a
perfect killing machine, but this time,..... they have weapons. These chosen four new
pilots have been programmed with the fighting tactics from the original five
gundam pilots,using the Zero system, making them even more powerful. Also,
their new gundams feature the remodeled Pyschommu System, the psycho-control
system, enabling the pilots to control them with their minds, and even
maneuver them when they are out of the cockpit. The Four pilots are faster,
stronger, and more deadly than ever imaginable, and they work for Natu-Tech,
at least...that's what Natu-Tech thought.....
A teenager calling himself "Eleazar", appeared on the scene..seemingly innocent before he took the last remaining, and most powerful of the Natu-Tech Five Gundams.. "Battalion"... afterwards triggering the other four pilots to turn on Natu-Tech, quickly annihilating it with their gundams. Also in a very short time, they took over a few other minor planets.
They didn't take over Earth though... There were only five of them, and each
one took a territory. Mars, Venus, The Moon, A Space Colony, and finally the
leader..the youngest known as "Eleazar", chose not to take a territory, and picked to wander around the battle
fields..... This meant Earth was free, but for how long? The forces on
Earth amassed, and with their combined efforts, and resources, made Gundams,
not as powerful as the NT pilots, but a gundam none the less..... This is
Earth's last hope......
Your Mission: Get A Mobile Suit, And Destroy The Five NT Pilots.
Your Chances: 0
The Only Chance For Survival: Find The Five NT Prototype Gundams
You Will Be Given All Of The Help We Can Give You, The Rest Is Up To You...........
Episode: 1 ~Havoc,Death,Destruction,And All The Stuff In Between~
Che’ and Kenji sit in the bridge of the Hyperion waiting for Eleazar, they both let out a yawn of boredom. Then, Eleazar walks into the hall, and they both stand up in attention!
Kenji: So, what are we gonna be doin today?
Eleazar: Hmm... I don’t know... our attack on Earth didn’t make much of an effect, now they just view us as terrorists.... We need a more global attack......
Kenji: ...I say, we can use your ship’s cannon, and blow a hole in the Earth!
Eleazar: Brilliant Kenji! Alright, computer! Target Earth with the gammick Gun!
Computer: Yes sir, but what shall we target on Earth.
Eleazar: ....I don’t know, where is it, that if we hit, it’ll cause the most damage.... Ah ha, the North Pole! The climate disasters would be never ending! Computer, target the North Pole, and fire when ready!
Computer: Yes sir.......
In a matter of moments the cloak on Hyperion fades away, and the ship hangs luminously above the Earth, it’s Gammick Gun charged and ready for battle.
Computer: We are ready now sir.
Eleazar: Well.......THEN FIRE! ......
Computer: Yes sir, commencing fire count down....... 15.........14.....
Eleazar: Dammit forget that, Eleazar walks over to a panel and fools around with some buttons, in a second some red lights blink, and the lights flicker, as the massive cannon gathers energy for it’s attack on Earth. Static energy pulsates through the outside of the ship, but after a few seconds it fires. The gigantic beam crushes through the atmosphere, and in a matter of seconds, collides with Earth, the North Pole to be more exact. The ice cracks, and slides down the crater, in which the beam created when it hit. The three soldiers gather around the vid screen, to see the damage they have cause. Expecting to see a large cloud covering the entire Earth, signaling a nuclear winter, they are surprised to see that nothing has happened to the world as a whole!
Kenji: I don’t get it... wasn’t the beam supposed to destroy Earth?!
Eleazar: Yes, yes it was.... I guess it wasn’t powered up to full.... Oh well I must have stirred something up.... Let’s go down to see the havoc we have caused!
The soldiers all walk down to the dock, where the Shogun, Drachegott, and Battalion are waiting for their pilots. Instead of getting in their Gundams, Che’ and Eleazar board a small shuttle, Kenji, however, being eager to fight gets in his Gundam, and decides he will fly along side the shuttle. As Che’ and Eleazar sit down, their Gundams miraculously roar o life, as their systems turn themselves on! With a minor thought the Drachegott and Battalion take off towards Earth, the shuttle and Kenji close behind.
Down on Earth, in an unknown area, the effects of the gammick gun can be seen. They have ruptured the tectonic plates on Earth. They have created an invisible problem. In a sense, they have broken Earth. Deep underground, the world rumbles, lava erupts from long dormant volcanoes, and oceans that were once peaceful are now filled with waves of chaos. This has caused a greater problem,... from a hidden lair, in a hidden island, lives the hidden creature. Green eyes fire up, a bright green blaze surrounds the pair of eyes. A claw stretches, and a horrible screech is heard, and can be heard from a distance, followed by many other screeches, and then more, and then silence, as the creatures are ready to strike.
Meanwhile in another area on Earth, James Whitman arrives ahead of schedule, at the South America Bank, in Venezuela.
James: Well, ....that’s didn’t take to long..... I suppose I shall go ahead and complete my mission then!
James drives into town, his Gundam packed away in the back of the truck, he stole. He looks for a place to store it, and just as he planned there is a mechanic’s garage nearby. He drives into the garage, which belongs to the mechanic that owns the gas station on the other side of the bank, and parks his truck. He then immediately jumps out of the trunk, carrying a pizza box, and duffle bag. He quietly whistles as he walks behind to bank, and next to the gas station, where he casually places a bomb, on the side of the tank.
James: There we go, a little diversion for my escape! No one should notice it anyways.
He walks up to the entrance to the bank, where a chubby old woman is counting her money, as she turns to walk in, she drops her purse, to which James picks it up.
James: Uh, ma’am you dropped your purse.
Old Lady: Oh thank you so much, such a kind young man..
As James hands it back to her, he slips a pistol in the purse, and walks in behind her. As the Old Lady walks through a metal detector the alarm goes off! The guard switches the alarm off and takes the lady‘s purse to look at it in the x-ray, as he does this James drops the pizza box and duffel bag, and slides them both past the guard, and the metal detector. He is stopped by the guard who asks for every one to wait, until he can see what the old lady has. Expecting to find coins, the guard is surprised to find a gun!
Guard: What the.....
Guy Next To Old Lady: Holy crap, this granny’s packin’ heat!
James: Hit The Deck! She’s Got A Gun!!!!!!
James sees this as the perfect time to make a distraction, and by saying this he creates panic among the crowd! As every jumps to the ground James casually walks past, and picks up his Pizza box, and duffle bag, as he walks by the main counter he slips another bomb, under the counter. He walks down another hall, to where the vault is, but is stopped by another guard, this time it’s a heavily armed guard, with a bullet proof vest on!
Guard#2: Hey You! Stop!
James: Oh sorry, I was looking for the bathroom, do you happen to know where one is?
Guard#2: Oh yea sure, just go left at the main entrance, and you should see it just fine!
James: Oh thank you. Oh by the way..
James leans in to speak. As he does, and slams a bomb into the chest of the guard! The guard chokes a bit, having the wind knocked out of him.
James: That’s a bomb, you have a few more seconds to live, spend it wisely.
The guard panics and runs down the hall screaming, James doesn’t activate it just yet, because his presence is still a secret. He walks over to the vault room, and to his luck, and surprise, it is opened! Going in for a check up I guess. The man at the reception desk speaks to James, but isn’t suspicious because James doesn’t look out of the ordinary, he’s just a delivery boy, to the reception clerk.
Clerk: Sir, may I help you.
James: Uh yea, someone ordered this pizza, and it’s gettin’ cold! Who’s here gonna pay for it!
Clerk: Well, I didn’t order a pizza sorry...
James: Well listen! This pizza isn’t gonna eat itself! Now is it!
James sets the pizza on the counter in front of the clerk, with his hand under the box.
Clerk: No, no I guess it isn’t. I suppose I’ll take it... Wait one minute, someone’s sending me a message... uh huh ....yea....What? Someone had a gun? He was heading up this way? He had a bomb to?
The clerk looks over to James, and James responds with a devilish grin. The clerk notices his hand gripping a gun, under the pizza box, before the clerk can respond James pulls the trigger! The bullet rips through the clerk, and James leaves him for dead. The body slumps over the seat, and James reaches through, the money deposit box, and grabs the door keys from him. He quickly unlocks the door and walks in the room, but is greeted by gun fire! From inside the vault!
Guard#3: Hey stop there! Don’t come in any closer!
At this point two other guards walk out , from the back room of the vault.
Guard#4: What the.....
Before he can finish James peaks his gun over and shoots him in the chest. The other guard that walked out with him, dives back into the back room!
James: Alright now, we don’t have to do this the hard way do we?!
As James speaks he opens the pizza box, that is filled with explosives and grenades, his duffle bag has an AK47, and some clips.
Guard#3: Come on man! Today’s my birthday!
James: Oh, then happy birthday! I have a present for you...
With that said James rolls a small grenade into the room, with a message on it. “Happy Birthday, Love James” Before the guard can scream, the grenade explodes, and the guard, of what’s left of him, falls to the ground. The last guard goes berserk and runs out with 2 rifles, one in each hand, and tries to shoot James, James just raises his pistol , and fires once, ..a clean shot to the head. Now the vault is open for James to take! As he walks in, rifle fire from behind him! James dives t the ground, and slides into the back room of the vault! The soldier guards run in after him, all of them equipped with heavy rifles, and bullet proof vests! One of the soldiers walks in the back room to find James, when he walks in, James jumps down behind him, and gets him in a head lock, with his dagger to the soldiers neck!
James: Now, I kill you....
Before James can finish the building rumbles, and James drops to the ground! The other guards circle around him, and point their rifles at him! He slowly stands up, and the soldiers push him out of the room.
James: Hey come on you guys, I was joking , heh heh heh, can’t you take a joke? I wasn’t really gonna kill you....
Soldier#1: Yea whatever, keep moving!
There’s another rumble, and the soldiers stumble back a bit, James takes this chance, and flips around, to kick the gun out of the soldier’s hand! It works , and he grabs the gun in mid air! He spins around and fires the rifle at all of the guards, killing them in a matter of seconds! He quickly runs to the back of the vault to claim his prize! A huge, perfectly carved diamond! He stuffs it into his duffle bag, ever so gently.
James: Alright, now... for my escape!
James triggers the many bombs he has placed around the area! The gas station, along with the bank entrance, explode in a flash of fire! James quickly runs out of the room, and down the hall, to the entrance which is now charred and black! He runs outside, dodging the screaming crowd, and wonders how he could have caused all of this, he keeps running, and into the garage he goes! He hops into his Gundam, and starts it up! The Gaiden stands up, inside of the garage, which is quite large! A troop , of five, MS Police stand outside of the garage waiting for him to come out, two get a little to close, and James throws his southern cross! The blade spins around, and cuts straight through the garage,.. straight through the police! The other three cops raise their rifles to fire, but before they do an unknown gun man fire a huge energy blast, and takes out all three at once, in one hit! Gaiden walks out, of the now demolished, garage, to see who came to his aid... and there are three, of the five, NT Pilots, standing there, Kenji in his Gundam, the Battalion nearby, and Eleazar and Che’ standing atop their shuttle, the Drachegott nowhere to be seen.
James: What! Dammit, now I gotta get outa here! Fast!
James turns to escape, but sees something a bit out of the ordinary. A black cloud, moving at an incredible speed is rocketing towards the town from the jungle!
James: What the......
Kenji: Ok, that’s pretty messed up there....
Che’: ........
Eleazar: Heh, they are here!......
In another part of the world Freelance McCane is hunting for dragons, in his Gundam Taketoriki Son, but he seems to be out of luck. He takes a small break, and jumps out of his Gundam. Freelance walks down, near the edge of a valley, and sees a stampede of something... They are all moving very fast, but only seem to be the size of a human.. He takes out his binoculars to get a better look, and is surprised at what he finds! They seem to be some type of dragon! Small dragons! Freelance jumps up the get his Gundam, and get himself a Dragon, when he is startled to find one of the small dragons behind him!
Freelance: Hey little fella... heh heh......
The small Dragon bobs his head to the side and looks confused. Freelance slowly side steps and tries to get to his Gundam, when he does this the dragon lets out a blood curdling screech, and shows his teeth and claws to Freelance! Now he hears something in a bush, Freelance turns, and there’s another little dragon! Freelance decides that now’s his time to leave, so he runs back to his ship, as fast as he can, but the dragons give chase! He climbs up his Gundam and just when he opens the cockpit, and dragon clamps onto his leg! Freelance turns around, and fires his pistol at the dragons head, it’s dead body falls to the ground, and Freelance limps into his Gundam, with his bloody, and torn, leg. Just as he turns his Gundam on, some more larger dragons run out of the bushes, knocking them down as they pass. These dragons have lasers on their sides, which they begin to fire at the Taketoriki Son! Freelance stumbles back a bit, then the dragons leap onto him, digging their claws into his Gundam, and forcing him down to the ground! Freelance jumps up in a flash, and fires his small gun at the dragons, taking them out one by one, with only one shit each. The dragons retreat, which is good because he just ran out of ammo, but Freelance still wants to get more, so he chases after them with his sword drawn! They all run over a large boulder, and disappear on the other side! When Taketoriki Son, gets a bit closer the boulder turns out to be a large dragon! This dragon roars, as it stands up to face him! The large dragon, standing a little bit shorter than the Taketoriki Son, walks on all for legs, and has large spikes on his tail, he also seems to have a system of plates running across his back! The plates spread open, and glow a bright yellow, the dragon roars again, but this time he releases a giant beam of energy! Freelance draws his shield, but still gets pushed back by the beam! The dragon waves his tail around wildly, and slashes at Freelance, one of his spikes catch Taketoriki Son’s leg, and spears a large hole in it! The tail gets stuck in the thick metal of Freelance’s Gundam, and in a flash he slashes down on it with his sword, slicing the dragon’s tail off clean! The dragon roars out, as green cooling fluid oozes out of it’s wound! Freelance takes this chance, and slices at it’s head! He hits again, and takes the dragon’s head off! Taketoriki Son steps back, and Freelance, now confident that he won, turns around to walk back to camp, and get his gathering supplies, but when he does he is greeted by a massive dragon, taller than Taketoriki Son! The giant dragon roars, and fires a large beam gattling cannon, that it has lodged into it’s head! The bullets rip into Taketoriki Son like he was nothing, leaving large holes in their wake! Freelance now turns and runs, again. The dragon chases after him, smashing through all of the trees and such as he does! The dragon opens his mouth to roar, as he runs, but inside his mouth is a sonic blaster gun! The large dragon roars, and releases a sonic blast, which knocks Taketoriki Son down! Freelance’s Gundam rolls down into the valley, and lands face up, Freelance sights the large dragon running at him, so decides to make a hasty retreat, and jumps out of his Gundam. Just as he gets out the dragon steps on Taketoriki Son, crushing it, as he does this he reaches his head down and rips the upper torso off of the Taketoriki Son! Freelance runs back to the forest, where he is greeted by the small dragons! Freelance trips, and falls into a deep trench, where he sprains his ankle. Freelance raises his pistol and fires at the dragons, they all back off, and head back to the bushes. The forest now grows quiet, all of the birds stop chirping, and the bugs stop buzzing. The dragons watch Freelance from the bushes, waiting for there time to strike, Freelance knows this, and raises his pistol to his head, and pulls the trigger. Nothing happens, the gun is out of bullets. The dragons immediately run to him, and swarm down the trench, a single scream is all that is heard through the empty forest. Then there is silence.
Back in Venezuela the black cloud proves to be another swarm of dragons! These types all have wings, and are the size of Gundams! One of them flies down, and pummels Shogun, and Kenji, to the ground! The other dragon flies at James in his Gundam, Gaiden, but he just throws his Southern Cross, and slices it’s head off! The blade quickly spins around, and returns to Gaiden’s hand. Gaiden, with his escape path now blocked by the dragons, turns to face the NT Pilots.
James: Great, now what am I going to do! Hmm, ha what imbeciles! They’re standing there out of their Gundams! And the only guard they had is busy fighting! Ha ha ha ha!!!
The Gaiden rushes towards Che’ and Eleazar.
Eleazar: Kenji! Get over here and fight that Gundam!
Kenji: Uh, I got problems of my own!
A dragon opens it’s jaw to bite the Shogun’s head, but Kenji just grabs it’s jaw, and rips it’s head in two! Another dragon comes at him, and he raises his rifle, and blasts it’s head off!
Eleazar: Grrr! Fine! .... Che’! You take care of him!
Che’: Got it!
From behind a building, a few blocks away, the Drachegott flies out! It’s tendrils hang behind it, as it flies to Che’. Gaiden fires his Shuriken, but Drachegott arrives just in time to block them!
Eleazar: Wait a second,.... isn’t that the same Gundam Kenji fought before.......I guess he doesn’t know when to give up......
Gaiden raises the Southern Cross, to throw at Drachegott, as he does, Eleazar slaps Che’ across the back of his head, making him lose concentration.
Che’: Ow! What did you do that for?!!!
Before Eleazar can answer Gaiden throws the Southern Cross, and it pierces the cokpit of Drachegott, leaving a large gaping wound, where it is lodged!
Eleazar: I had to prove something!
Che’: Which is........
Eleazar: That we can’t be defeated! Do you hear me pilot! You can’t defeat us!
Gaiden steps back and looks at the Gundam, with the Southern Cross stuck in it’s chest. He looks down at Eleazar and Che’, and they both wave up at him.
James: Grrr!!!!!! How do you do that!!!
Eleazar: Heh, our little secret!
Che’ regains concentration, and pulls the Southern Cross out of his Gundam’s chest, and throws it at Gaiden, but Gaiden just catches it, and takes a fighting stance. In the blink of an eye, Drachegott’s two dragon fangs fire out of his shoulders, one grips Gaiden’s left arm, the other grabs it’s right arm. Che’ then pulls, and easily takes both arms off, without much effort nor time!
Eleazar: Che’! Give him a little show off power.
Che’ nods, and his Gundam, Drachegott, holds it’s arms out in front of itself. In a flash two brilliantly colored wings stretch out on both sides off him, blocking the view of that which is behind him! Just as fast as they came, they disappear, revealing four small drones flying, where the wings once were! The drones spin slowly, then out of nowhere they strike! The four drones fire their lasers, each large bolt of energy hits Gaiden hard, leaving large dents in it! James decides it is the time to escape, so he jumps out of his Gundam. As he does this the drones retreat back to the host Gundam, Drachegott, and just as fast as his previous attacks, Drachegott flies over to Gaiden. As he does that he spins, and his bladed tail whips out, and curls around Gaiden, before James even hits the ground, Drachegott constricts his tail slightly crushing Gaiden, but then he spins again, and slices Gaiden into many small slices of metal! At this time James hits the ground, and the metal heads down towards the ground, .. towards James. Before they hit the ground, Drachegott’s inbits fly out, and their strong beam shields activate! The shields are so strong, that when they tough the Gaiden’s scrap metal, falling through the air, it disintegrates, and is reduced to small chunks of molten metal!
Eleazar: Alright that’s enough, we can go now. I proved my point.
Eleazar walks back into the ship, followed by Che’. Kenji lags behind a bit, picking off the last of the dragons that chase after their shuttle. While James lays on the dust covered ground, in shock.
James: Less than a minute.........I lasted less then a minute....
James glances over at the last piece of Gaiden, the Southern Cross. Nothing remains of it, but memories, and charred ashes.
Episode: 2 ~Presents From Evil, Presence Of Evil~
Natalie crumbles a large thin sheet of designing paper and sits back in her
Gundam disgusted at the little progress with weapon and item development for
gundams. Natalie places her finger gently on a switch within Angelic
Divinity and all the news broadcasting stations, she carefully examines over
them for anything interesting or inspiring for a new weapon.
Suddenly Natalie feels a earthquake, she quickly starts up her Gundam to
keep some balance but is slammed against the chair as some force pulls the
Gundam downwards against the ground. After a few minutes of hearing simply
shaking and ripping of ground, the quake passes and Natalie jumps out of
Angelic Divinity to assess the damage to her Gundam and the surrounding
areas while pondering how such a large earthquake could happen in Neo Tokyo.
Lynna glances at the ruins of her old high school, and the loss of most of
her friends within due to the Earthquake. Lynna kneels down and tries to
hold back the tears, gripping a handful of grass and squeezing it tight in
her grip and fingers. After a few moments Lynna gets to her feet and jumps
onto her dirt bike and rides away as quickly as possible, not wishing to see
her own friends dead any longer.
Joe Nuke, knocked breathless from the earthquake stands up and limps over to
the nearest bench to sit down and recover from the shock. Glances about he
notices something is amiss but cannot put his finger on it other then the
fact he is having a harder time breathing then before the Earthquake, Joe
gets to his feet and walks about and overlooks all the fallen buildings.
Suddenly a large shadow covers the whole of Neo Tokyo, as all the Gundam
pilots within town boundaries glance up.. they see the captured battleship
Hyperion flying over the town slowly till it disappears into the sky again.
Lynna, not paying attention to the ground she is riding on as she gazes up
at the large battleship suddenly slides into a group of rocks and she is
thrown off the dirt bike and slides... Lynna opens her eyes, wincing in pain
from the crash and sees that Neo Tokyo is floating above the land!! Lynna
gathers herself and grabs her dirt bike again weakly, and begins to ride the
other direction where she placed her Gundam.
Glancing over the side of the now floating town of Neo Tokyo, Natalie
ponders how any type of technology can do something so impressive. Natalie
grips onto the controls of Angelic Divinity and moves into town to look for
others from the wrecked town.
Kenji and Che’ stand at the window of the Hyperion, looking down at the floating island, Kenji asks a question, “Hey, Che’, How does he do that stuff”, Che
replies, “What stuff?”, Kenji points down to the island, and Che’ answers, “Oh that, that’s easy... It’s kinda complicated.......so I’ll just give you the simple, easy to understand version....Let’s see now.... Everything has energy, an some things give or take energy. What the Hyperion is doing, is simple, it just bends that energy, and manipulates it in a way that lifts that place down there, Tokyo.....Then it masks the energy so it seems invisible, hence the name Masquerade System..... It’s a little present Natu-Tech gave us , as their.. going away present.... It’s used in my Gundam to make it faster, it’s in Musashi’s Triduim Sword also, and it’s obviously in the Hyperion.....” Kenji nods his head a bit, and speaks just as he looks back down at the island.. “Oh...”
Finally entering town within her Gundam, Natalie is confronted by another
Gundam.. "Computer, identify the confronting Gundam!" Natalie sits back
nervously as the scanning process begins then a large screen of text shows
on the visual screen. "Death Angel??" Natalie ponders for a moment, suddenly
a visual contact is sent and a com screen opens over the scrolling text.
"This is Joe Nuke, Identify yourself or be shot down as an enemy!" Natalie
stutters for a moment at the sudden words but nods her head, "I am Natalie
Mengsk, Scientist and Pilot of Angelic Divinity. I have no quarrel with you.
Let me through!" The Gundam Death Angel continues to hold it's ground. "What
do you think your going to do? Most of the small buildings have been
leveled! It's amazing that the skyscrapers and main buildings are still
standing and in one piece! Have you even seen what has happ.." Natalie
quickly cuts Joe off in his sentence, "Yes, the former Neo Tokyo is now
FLOATING Neo Tokyo, I am not stupid. But I have a bad feeling something
worse will happen. Look.. I don't have time for this, let's just go into
town and help the people and possibly find other Mobile Suit pilots like
ourselves before a possible Natu-Tech Attack happens!"
Expertly piloting her suit, Bulgi.. Lynna gazes over the wreckage made from
the Earthquake and sighs, thinking to herself, "This is NOT good Lynna.. I
need to gather up the other pilots in town before something worse happens.
hmm? What's this?" Lynna gets a fizzled transmission from the ground... "We
are..." static is heard as the transmission fizzes for a moment, "We are
being Bombarded by .." suddenly the Transmission goes out. Worried Lynna
pilots Bulgi to the edge of the now floating Neo Tokyo where she saw the
Battleship Hyperion fly towards. Glancing down she notices a lot of silent
firing and explosions going on at the ground, with the Battleship hovering
over a recently built Militia base.
A voice is heard in a hidden underwater base, the voice distinctively being
James Whitman's, "Status report!" A lowly clerk looks towards the
transmission and replies in a worried fashion, "Sir, there is some scary
sh.. I mean stuff happening! We got reports of Neo Tokyo floating in mid
air, and the appearance of Five Black Spires floating over certain areas of
the Earth." James, inside his little transmission box tilts his head to the
side as he gazes at the clerk, a clearly annoyed look and crossed arms he
replies slowly and intimidating , "So? What does that have to do with us? I
don't see why you needed to send me a urgent message when I could have just
watched the news!" The clerk stutters a bit then shakes his head, "But sir..
it does have to do with us! There is one of the Black Spires directly above
us.. above the Kraken Sea Base!! It's manipulating and screwing up most of
our systems. The only thing untouched is the Transmission Flow and Power
Generator, everything else is acting up!" James quickly removes his
intimidating look and narrows his eyes with a slight nod, "Understood.. I
will make my way back to the base as soon as I am able. James out!"
Meanwhile back on the island of Japan, near the floating city of Neo Tokyo..
Natalie, Joe and Lynna gaze over the side helplessly watching the Battleship
Hyperion blast apart the Militia bases, and the nearby villages and homes.
Seven Squadrons of different fighter jets advance towards the battleship.
A large explosion is heard under the battleship as the Gundam "HellBringer"
is revealed.. fighting back the attacking forces as best as he can alongside the Gundam "Judgement". "I'll try to do as much damage as I can, but
once my ammo is out.. I am a sitting duck Rod!" Khendon glances at
the radar quickly while making the voice transmission to his fellow
Gundam. Rod sits patiently next to Hellbringer as
he lets loose his Skipper Missiles toward aggressive Battleship, suddenly
the battleship's guns begin to fire on Hellbringer, Bringing him down within
seconds!
Rod stands Judgment up tall next to his ally in the battle. Rod watches as
a few of Eleazar’s Mobile Dolls, Shadow Stalkers, land on the ground and beginning firing on the
burning village and it's inhabitants. Rod finally has enough of the constant
attacks and whips out both his Double Bladed Beam Sabers and rushes towards
the first line of Shadow Stalker Dolls and slices a few of them in half. Spinning
quickly he gazes up at a set of flying Shadow Stalker and throws his Sabers at them,
stabbing their main control system and blowing them up sky high. Rod glances
around breathing hard, sweat dripping down his face as he gazes over the
ashes of his village. He slings out his Scythe and rushes at a turned Virgo
and jams the beam edge into it's back watching it go up in smoke. "You sons
of..." a blast hits Rod's Gundam from behind, knocking him onto the ground.
Eight Shadow Stalker dolls begin to surround and fire on the wounded Gundam and it's
pilot.
A wandering black spire floats over the lands in Beta 2 and 3, stirring most
of the Dragons. Settlements in the south begin to burn at the hands of the
Dragons.
The battles still rage on between the local, amateur militias against the
attacking Dragons and the Battleship Hyperion till mid-day. When finally the
Battleship slowly takes off from it's halted position and into the
atmosphere before stopping one last time. Quickly the dragon attacks cease
as they return to their nests and caves where they came from, and silence
falls over the Earth.
The Natu-Tech Gundam BATTALION slowly leaves it's docking bay inside the
Battleship and soars down to the Floating Island of Neo Tokyo where it is
confronted by Angelic Divinity, Bulgi and Death Angel gundams. Angelic
Divinty stands forward and a transmission is sent to the silent NT Gundam by
Natalie, "You bastard!! You killed so many of my people.." full of anger
Natalie squeezes onto the controls of her Gundam. "You murdering son of a!!
Why??! Why?!? They did nothing to you!!" Natalie, unable to control her
anger much further charges Battalion, with her own Double Bladed Beam Saber
drawn. She swings the saber at the Gundam as quickly as she can but the
Gundam simply side-steps the attack and Natalie falls over the edge.. unable
to fly Natalie panics quickly seeing her mistake, but she is strangely not
falling any further forward. Turning on her sensors she sees Battalion
holding the back of Angelic Divinity, keeping her from falling. "Why did you
save me?" Natalie gives a confused look then is thrown back onto the
floating isle. At this chance Lynna, wanting to avenge her own friends races
at Battalion, slamming her electroshock grab into thin air as Battalion
simply tilts it's head to dodge, lifting it's knee Battalion slams it into
the main engine of Omnipotent. From the hard blow from Battalion's knee,
Omnipotent floats in the air for a few moments before gets slammed in the
back by Battalion's fist and slammed into the ground hard. Lynna catches her
breath as she spins her Gundam onto it's back.. looking right up at
Battalion holding a strange looking blade, Lynna sighs and closes her eyes
preparing for the worst when Battalion stabs it downwards.... leaving it in
the ground next to Omnipotent's head.
A transmission screen opens to the three gundams.. Death Angel, Angelic
Divinity and Omnipotent, "It's by my will, and my will alone you survive
this encounter. And my will is that you guard this blade till my chosen
comes to retrieve it. You are not given a choice." Eleazar leans back in his
chair as the three gundams begin questioning him further but Battalion
simply turns on it's Thrusters and flies upwards to the sky to Hyperion.
Episode: 3 ~Special Cops Edition!~
Music starts to play from the TV... “Bad boys , bad boys! Whatcha gonna do!? Whatcha gonna do, when they come for you?!?! Bad boys ,bad boys!” , the screen immediately switches to a cameras point of view, sitting next to a cop, in a cop car, driving in the middle of the desert...They quickly approach a base of some sort, lodged in the side of a mountain, a sign on the side of the road says, “No Trespassing! That Means You!” , another one reads, “Nothing To See Here Move Along”, and the last one says, “Most Definitely Not Area 51! Turn Back Now!” The cops ignore the signs and keep driving. They reach the building and Habib is there, leaning against the outer wall, by the door! The cop jumps out of the car and raises his gun at Habib! “Sir! Put your hands in the air!” Says the cop.. “What? What’s this all about!” , “Sir!! Put your Hands where I can see them, NOW!”, “What .. the..” , “Sir! This is your last warning! Now put your F*&$%#@ hands where I can see them!” , “Alright..” Habib raises his hands in the air, and the cops runs up to him, followed by the camera man, close behind. A few more cops come in from cars, and run to the officer’s aid! Vapor peaks out the window, from the second floor, only to see Habib being hauled away by the cops! Vapor chuckles a bit, and turns around , and opens a video com-link to Khendon, who is in a large lab, in a lower floor of the base, the Gundam Taketoriki Son in the background.. “Beep Beep!” goes the VCL (Video Communication-Link), Khendon replies, seemingly angered at the interruption, “Yea yea! I’m comin’ I’m comin’...” Khendon pushes a button, and an image of Vapor pops up.. “Yes what is it?”, on Vapors VCL an image of Khendon pops up ..”Ha ha ha ha! You’re not going to believe this!” .. “Oh yea, try me!”, a lab assistant bangs into something, and Khendon turns around and speaks to him. “Be careful! .. Don’t make in any worse will ya?!......” Khendon turns back to Vapor, “Geese! People these days are just..... stupid..” , Vapor now begins to speak, “O ...k... Well as I was saying, Habib got..” before he can finish speaking, the VCL shuts off, and there’s a cop standing next to Vapor! “Sir, please step out of the building with me for just a second!” .... “But, ...but. I Didn’t do anything!” , “Sir! Please step out of the building!”, .. “Whatever I still didn’t do anything!” , “Sir! You will respect my authoritah!” , the cop bats Vapor over the head with his club, and knocks him out cold! Some other cops walk in the room and drag Vapor out to their car, and shoves him in it! It seems that they’re still having trouble with Habib.... The cops try to intimidate him,.. “What’s wrong boy! You packin’ some heat?!” ,... “What the?.. No.. I’m not packing heat!” ... “That’s it! Frisk ‘im boys!” , “What? Fine I’ll go!..” The cops shove him into the car , and slam the door on his face! Habib, now angry. speaks.. “You’re gonna hear from my lawyers about this! You hear me?!!!! You just wait!... How did they find my base anyways......... Hey cop! How did you find my base!?” ... The cop ignores Habib, as all of their cars drive off, just as Khendon turns around, to see the Lab Assistant messing around with the Taketoriki Son’s Triduim Sword! “Noooooo!” yells Khendon, as he dives behind a nearby wall, just barely missing the blast, from the Triduim Sword’s self destruct mechanism! Khendon peaks his head out from the wall, the Lab Assistant is nowhere to be found....
The cops drive away with both Vapor, and Habib, the cop begins to speak to the camera man....
“ ..Right now we’re gonna take these two down to HQ, and incarcerate them, they’ll both probably be right back out on the streets in one day! That’s just the life of a cop... You gotta take it, one day at a time.”
An unknown voice can be heard.. “Real Cops, Real Crime! ...” The voice then says ,really fast, so you can barely hear it “All people are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law”....
Episode: 4 ~World's Most Wanted~
Your TV comes on again, and you are greeted by an older man .. “Hi I’m John Walsh , and this is, The World’s Most Wanted! Commemorating the men and women of Law Enforcement!”, John Walsh walks down some stairs to where, supposedly, real phone operators manage their tips hotline. “Today we’re celebrating the capture, of a criminal, that has been eluding police for quite some time! Mr. Jaze Freebird, today, has found, and killed the master thief James Whitman, through a heroic act of betrayal. Now, we will show you, exactly, what happened , through a visual dramatization!” A video starts, the camera bobs, to give it a sense of realism, and the screen is black and white... The actor playing Jaze walks into the room, and shoots the actor playing James, you can’t hear the gun shot, because they cut out all of the sound, for added drama to it... John Walsh begins to speak again... “Now as we can see, Jaze walks in, and shoots James... Let’s see that again...”, The movie plays again, and Jaze walks in and shoots James, again. “Wow! What courage it took, to bring this criminal to justice! May the people of Venezuela sleep well tonight, knowing that their nightmare, has been eliminated! Jaze we salute you!” John Walsh gives a weak salute to the screen, “To honor you, you will not just get the Three Hundred Thousand reward, but your criminal record has been erased, and you will receive, the official World’s Most Wanted Baseball Cap, the one all the cops are beggin’ for! The Official World’s Most Wanted Sweatshirt! And The Official World’s Most Wanted Coffee Mug!” The screen darkens.. “This is John Walsh , signing off!”
Episode: 5 ~The Sky Is Falling!~
The sky goes black, the city grow quiet. All is dead. The darkness is breached by a flaming object falling as if there where no tomorrow. At first, all in attendance think it must be a eclipse and maybe a ship that had been shocked by the sudden darkness and fallen from its perch amongst the clouds. All stair and finally come to the grim truth... A meteorite... Men and women alike fall to their knees and pray or cry, others just stair. The sky bursts into flames as a large meteorite collides with the planet we live on, Earth. From above a wave of fire can been seen cutting through the atmosphere all the way into space. A news bulletin pipes onto all TV’s on earth.
Reporter: "Today started out as a perfect day in LA but was fouled by a horrendous, random, evil event. This evening at 3:00 PM a meteorite struck LA annihilating ten miles of the grand city’s residential area. The death toll is as of yet unknown but is estimated to be at 1,000 lives.. There is no explanation, and scientists have yet to discover why they were not able to detect this large meteor, they say it just appeared..."
Shinji lies in a puddle of blood, his body had been crushed when the ceiling of a restaurant he had been in had fallen down on him. Only a small amount of his life left, he can barely hear the helicopters as they land nearby, and begin their search for survivors..
Ben lies near a crushed building, The walls had shielded him from the blast and meteorite fragments. Ben laughs a little and looks at his Gundam. There is nothing left of it, it was totally annihilated… every last part of it destroyed....
Episode: 6 ~Under De Sea (Part 1)~
"Is that it?" Says Jaze, "Yep, I think so... It’s a lot bigger than I though it’d be" replies Justin Hardy, "Alright, everybody suit up!" orders James Whitman, as their tiny submarine approaches a large ship, embedded in the ground, seemingly abandoned.... Earlier in the day an underwater volcano erupted, and melted a rock, that had metal debris in it, that was blocking Kraken Sea Base’s long range scanners, what they found was amazing... A ship ,at least a mile long, was concealed behind the rock, and even when the rock was gone the ship barely showed up on radar.. The submarine pulled up next to the ship, and docked to an airlock hatch.
The four soldiers, James, Jaze, Justin, and Natalie, step towards the hatch, in large clunky diving equipment, so thick they can barely move their arms... "Why do we have to wear these? Can’t we just wear normal scuba gear?" asks Justin, "Four words Justin....Hypothermia, and Extreme Pressure!... If the cold doesn’t kill you the pressure will!" says James, as they wait for the air lock system to re-pressurize. The once red light, indicating it’s not safe to exit the pressure room, turns green, and the door to the ship opens. James raises his hand and waves it forward, towards Jaze and Justin, they both quickly swim into the ship, and take point at the corner, each of them hold a spear gun.. Justin turns around and signals to James, that the coast is clear. They all walk through the dark hallway, holding out their spear guns, that house flashlights on their sides which is the only source of light in the ship.. "Who do you think this ship belongs to?" asks Jaze, "Hmm, I dunno maybe aliens?! " says Justin, "Oh yea, aliens just love Coca-Cola!" replies Natalie, as she points her flashlight at a soda machine.. "Oh well I guess it’s not aliens then..." says Justin... "alright, everyone, our first act of business is to restore power to this ship, and to pressurize the hull, so we don’t have to wear these diving suits anymore!" says James. "Got it, but uh... where would we find the power generator?" asks Jaze, as he looks around, the hall goes forward, backwards, and all around, in a spiral formation... "Good question... let’s just keep going this way, and hope it takes us to the bridge, or at least the front of the ship...." says James, as he picks up the pace a little bit, eager to get the ship up and running again.
Eventually they reach a large room, that seems to be the bridge. Natalie goes to a computer monitor, that’s water proof I guess, and fiddles around with it, trying to find out what happened to the ship, while Justin does the same at another computer. Soon a video shows up on the front screen, a man in a military uniform appears, he doesn’t seem to be from any Earth military, so they all assume he’s a Natu-Tech soldier.. He begins to speak, but static interference blurs the screen, and his voice... "Help, us, we are just above Earth,........... The test dragons have gotten lose........ We are under heavy fi.... the ..dragons have breached the ship’s hull... We are carrying valuable equipment, and need assistance .........." a loud scream is heard, followed by the sound of flames, as the video ends.... Justin looks around the room, and notices how charred it is, bits of black melted metal pile up on the floor..... "oh so that’s what happened...... The dragons must have blown a hole in the ship as they entered the atmosphere, the loss of pressure caused a large fire to erupt..." explains Justin, "Yea, but the ship would have closed the doors to avoid it, and why is the power out? The generator shouldn’t have been affected by that....." says Natalie, "Hmmm, well something must have jammed a door, and they probably shut off power to prevent total destruction of the ship, then the backup power would have taken over, and that wouldn’t be enough power to close a jammed door..." replies Justin. "Ok, ok, but if they didn’t shut off the power they wouldn’t have died! So why did they still turn it off!" argues Natalie. "Hmmm, they must have had some cargo...... Natalie, you and Justin go and restore power to the ship, you’re both engineers so it shouldn’t be that hard." Orders James, shortly after Justin and Natalie start the long walk to the back of the ship.
They eventually reach their destination, and are startled to see a dragon! Justin quickly raises his spear gun and fires, the spears just hits the dragon, and falls to the ground...
Natalie shakes her head as she begins to speak, "It’s already dead, you didn’t have to waste your spear!"...
They keep walking, and find another dragon blocking their way, this time Justin knows not to be so quick to fire, and assumes it’s dead.. The dragon has jammed the door open, with only a very small gap between it and the door.. "Great... well there’s probably a hole on the other side, I’ll go get the submarine, and drive it to the hole, then we can use the tow cable to pull the dragon out." says Justin as he sighs, they turn around, and walk back to the submarine....
(To Be Continued!)
Episode: 7 ~Under De Sea (Part 2)~
They reach the submarine, quickly start the engine, and pilot the small sub down the ship, where they find a large gap, the dragons must have got in by it. Natalie jumps out of the airlock, holding the steel tow cable, while Justin stays behind to control the sub. As Natalie walks towards the dragon stuck under the door, a large shadow passes over their submarine, and the hole in the ship. Natalie turns around for second, but just shrugs her shoulders, and ties the tow cable onto the tail, of the stuck dragons. She gives a quick tug to make sure the cable is tied on tightly, and then radios for Justin to pull the cable in, "K, Justin, it’s fastened on, pull it up.". "What’s that Natalie? You’re breaking up? Theirs to much interference with all of this equipment, wait one minute, I’m going down to the air lock." replies Justin. Just as he reaches the airlock, Natalie sends the same message again, and Justin activates the Winch. "Alright Justin, I’m gonna go see if I can get the power up an running now, see ya." Natalie says as she walks towards the back of the ship. "K, I’m gonna head on down to...." Justin’s sentence gets cut off as a dragon appears out of nowhere, and rams the ship! A huge gash in the side of the sib floods the ship with water! Justin puts his helmet on, and jumps into the pressure chamber! The loss of cabin pressure causes the ship to slowly crush itself, causing bolts to shoot out from the suspension pillars! One of the bolts hit Justin in the arm, and pierces through his suit, it slices straight through his skin until it connects to his bone! Justin screams out in pain, as he pulls the bolt out of his arm! He feels the ice cold water touch his wound, and clenches his in pain! He quickly grabs some electrical tape, and wraps it around his arm, hoping that will stop the water from seeping into his suit! "Come on! This is taking to long!.." just as Justin stops speaking the red light turns green once again, and he jumps out of the sub, just as the dragon swims in to ram the submarine again! He slowly drifts down, and relaxes for a moment, until he notices he’s sinking down to the bottom of an abyss! He panics, and tries to pull the weights off his waste, the ones he wore so he could walk in the water. They’re stuck, so he starts to panic even more! "Alright Justin, calm down, you’re not going to die, you’ve come to far to die ....At The Frickin Bottom Of The Ocean!!" screams Justin, he then gets an idea, on how to propel himself up to the ship! He grabs his harpoon gun, and tie a rope to the back of the harpoon, he then fires it at the ship! The harpoon flies forward, and so does the rope.... Right up past the ship, and out of Justin’s view. "Oh... Come on!" yells Justin, just then he gets another idea! "This one has to work!" , he thinks, "Either that, or I die trying...". Justin reaches back t his air tanks, and unscrews the nozzle... Slowly the air pushes him up towards the ship..
At the same time, back on the ship. Jaze and James stumble across something strange, on their exploration of the ship.. "Whoa, look at all of those Jelly Fish! Should we keep away from them? Aren’t they poisonous?!" asks Jaze, "Yea, but our suits should protect us, anyways, they don’t look poisonous.. They don’t have very big stinging tentacles..."Answers James... They both keep walking through, pushing the jellyfish out of their way, wondering what attracted such a dense population of Jellyfish, to take refuge so deep into the ship... They finally reach a dead end, where many coral plants, and other ocean plant life, have fastened themselves onto the metal wall... "Well that’s something you don’t see everyday..." comments James.. "Hey James, Carbon Monoxide, and Ammonia levels are high around here, do you think we should turn back now?!" asks Jaze, "Well, our suits should protect us, and that’s probably what’s attracting all of the sea life around here... Let’s try not to stay here to long anyways......" answers James.. "Where is all of the Carbon Monoxide, and Ammonia coming from?" says Jaze, asking another question, and guess what, James answers it... "I dunno, but I’m guessing whatever it is, it’s coming from the other side of that door...." Just then James notices a rotting corpse, the person has been crushed between the doors... His torso on one side, his legs on the other... James kicks a spider crab out of the way, and leans down to inspect the body. He pulls an identification tag, off of the corpse’s front pocket, and begins to speak.. "Just as I though! This is a NT Ship! And the fellow’s name is Dr. Keiji Ottawa... He’s head of the science division, on this ship.. Employee number three two four six five nine.... The ship’s name is FireBorn , and this is a security level A clearance card.....". James then tries it on the door panel, but there’s no power, so it obviously doesn’t work. "Dammit! Jaze, go to the ship’s bridge, and see if you can get this door some power!" commands James, "Got it." Says Jaze, as he walks back towards the bridge.
Back outside of the ship, Justin is still slowly floating upwards towards the ship... "To slow! Come on!!!" yells Justin, as he opens the air valves even more, letting more air flow out, pushing himself upwards much faster than before! He just reaches the edge of the ship’s hull, when the radio computer says "Warning! No air left. Warning!". Just when Justin was so close, but yet so very far, he starts to sink back down again, totally out of air... Just before the ship gets out of reach, Justin thrusts his hand up, and pulls himself onto the side of the ship, and slowly climbs up! A few seconds pass before Justin gets into the ship again, but is still out of air... He frantically looks for help.. But no one is around..... In his last desperate attempt to survive, he tries to run to the bridge.. He gets through the door, where the dragon was stuck, and collapses, holding his hand out towards the bridge... Hoping for some miracle to happen..... Totally out of air... Totally out of hope...... Totally, out of life........
(To Be Continued....Again)
Episode: 8 ~Under De Sea FINAL PART!~
“Justin, wake up! C’mon, don’t be dead, please don’t be dead.” Natalie continued to shake Justin until he started to make a groaning sound and stirred, lifting his body up.
Glancing around the room, Justin realized that Jaze was standing next to him to his left, Natalie to his right. “What happened?” Justin asked, groggily. “I thought I was dead. I felt myself slip away…”
“Hey, relax, you’re ok now. You fell into a coma right before she found you, and she rushed you up here,” Jaze told him. “At first I thought you were a goner, but you just needed to get some air to your lungs.” By now, the power had gone on, as Justin could tell, and he had his helmet off.
“But what happened? How did we get the power back on?”
“Well, it’s a long story, and a bit complicated,” Natalie said, “but we might as well explain what happened.
“For starters, I worked my way back up to the bridge, to try and get the generators back online, but the controls were really messed up. I was about to call James to get up and help me, but I stumbled upon the control panel, far across the bridge in a smaller section. I was able to activate the power with a small re-wiring job, which was unimaginably difficult in those pressure suits. First thing was that I contacted James again, and he said to start by sealing off the open part.” Jaze told him.
“That was when Jaze called me and told me that if I was anywhere in the area to get out fast,” recalled Natalie. “I started to walk towards the nearest open door when I saw a body floating. Originally, I wouldn’t have made anything of it, but it was wearing one of our pressure suits. I realized it must have been you, Justin, since you hadn’t contacted anyone in a while. I got us out of there before the doors were sealed, and James got the idea to start pumping the water through whatever ventilation systems the ship had onboard. Within moments I was able to run you down to the nearest med. center, and waited for oxygen to be pumped back into the ship. This entire process had taken a minute and a half for the level of the ship we were on, and I was afraid we lost you. Another fifteen seconds and you’d start to get brain damage, another minute you’d probably be dead.”
“So I guess I owe both of you guys a huge thanks,” said Justin. A voice came in on Jaze’s radio.
“Hey everyone. Is Justin Ok?” asked James.
“I’m alive,” Justin stated, as he grasped his left arm again. The air had made it begin to feel as if it were on fire.
“Great to hear that, Justin. If everyone could come back up to the bridge, come up. I’ve got to talk to you guys,” said James.
James Whitman waited patiently for his friends to arrive. He glanced at a small screen and took note that the ammonia and carbon monoxide levels were still high when Jaze was first of the trio to walk through the door.
“What’s up?”
“A few things. First of all, look at this, the ammonia levels have hardly dropped, and the carbon monoxide levels hardly went down, also. Second, that door is completely sealed, there’s no way I could open it. The key card codes must have deleted themselves in the shutdown, and when I tried to re-wire it the doors just closed all the way, chopping that dead doctor in half.”
“Pleasant,” said Natalie, as she walked in the room with Justin, “it’s a good thing I didn’t eat lunch, James.”
“Well, we could always blast the doors down,” Justin recommended.
“Are you insane or just downright stupid?” asked Jaze. “The ammonia levels are too high, the whole ship can blow!”
“Whoa, hold on everyone. Look at this.” James pointed to one of the screens, which displayed a map of the entire ship. “There’s a way in through the engine room, near the reactor. The engine control room leads down a hall to this small door here. It’s unmarked, but I’ll assume that it’s a storage room of some sort. It must be something of value, though; otherwise I wouldn’t see any point of having such high security. Hmm, what’s this? Weapons storage room. Anyone interested?”
“I’ll go. Who knows, maybe I’ll find something useful!” said Justin.
“Well, don’t expect to keep everything you find. There’s a chance some of these weapons are outdated, anyway,” said Natalie.
“This is NT,” Justin replied, “how could it be outdated?”
After going down three levels, Justin reached a less lit area of the ship. The emptiness of the sector was just totally eerie, and it freaked out Justin just to be down there. Suddenly, the lights flashed on and his heart skipped a beat. “Oh my god!” he yelled in panic. Bodies and weapons
“Justin, sorry, that was us, we were just putting full power on that floor,” Natalie commented.
Justin continued to walk on until he found a small hatch in the floor that said “Warning” on it and contained the infamous nuclear symbol. “Hey, guys, I think this ship stocked up on some nukes!”
“Great, now we can reunite Ben with the rest of his mentally retentive family,” Jaze commented sarcastically.
Justin opened up the airtight hatch and climbed down a ladder into a large area that seemed to be a hanger. It’s airlock still worked, and he could see all the way across into the water, and how it ended as if it were a Plexiglas shield. Some fighters that were damaged were on one side, and on the other side contained some nuclear missiles. “Jackpot...”
James and Jaze made their way to the main reactor in the center of the ship. Along the way, the saw a lot of empty rooms, as if everyone left when it first hit water. They couldn’t make much of a quick pace due to the fact that they were wearing their suits again. They reached the reactor in twelve minutes, and emerged into a long, dark, cylinder room with a huge engine in the middle and a small metal walkway that went fully around the room to the other side. It was about 30 meters across, but it felt like an eternity for James and Jaze. The temperature measured at least 132 degrees, and they were wearing large aquatic suits meant for water that was below freezing.
“It’s hotter than a dessert in here!” exclaimed Jaze.
“It’s not a far walk, we’ll get through. Just keep pushing.”
In the engine control room, they found another door leading out to what must be the hall they were looking for. They pushed the button on the panel to have the door open, and some remote defense systems started firing at them. Each was a small, wall-mounted gattling with a sensor on it.
“I think they shoot at whatever moves!” Jaze shouted over the loud guns firing at them. They had both taken cover on either side of the door.
James shouted into his radio, “Natalie, shut down the defense systems in sector YC5-0029!”
“Roger,” Natalie replied, “I’m on it.”
“So, about this ship, what do we plan on doing with it?” Jaze asked.
“Well, Black Terror was destroyed, it’s yours if you want it.” James said.
“I’d like that. But don’t you think it would take a while to fix up?”
Natalie interrupted them. “Enough with the chit-chat, guys, I’ve got the drones down for one minute, so you’ll have to put on your helmets now, and sprint.” James and Jaze sealed their helmets on to prevent any of the gas in the next room from getting in. They ran down the hall to the last door, opened it, and jumped inside right when the first shots were fired. They looked around at this massive room they were in and James looked up. It was dark like the night, and you could almost see the mix of the two gasses in the dim light from the hall. “Natalie, locate the room we’re in and turn on the emergency vents. I want all this gas out of here,” James said. He heard the sound of what sounded like fans turn on, and the air’s thickness seemed to fade away.
“James, it’s done.” Natalie informed him. I’m turning on the lights now.”
With that the lights flashed on into life, and James got his first real look at the room they were in.
“This is no storage room, this is an MS storage bay!” Jaze exclaimed in surprise.
Looking up, James saw two small dragons, not completed, and noticed something else on the far side of the bay. It was a mobile suit, but it looked almost alive, but at the same time being an abomination towards life, twisted by the wills of man into a dark shadow of death and carnage.
“Natalie, can you get a reading on this thing?” James asked, feeling as if there were a lump in his throat.
“Yeah, hold on.” Back on the Bridge, Justin was scrolling through what was left of the ship’s log.
“Hey, Natalie, it says here that this ship’s last cargo was a Natu-Tech Prototype Gundam called the Zephyr!”
Meanwhile, Mark Fenix is deep in meditation when he suddenly is snapped awake, breathing hard and sweating bullets. Doran Routhe pokes his head into the room.
“You ok? I heard you scream.”
“No, I’m fine. It’s just that, oh, nevermind. I’ll be right out.
“Whatever you say.” Doran said, as he walked away.
“How strange,” Fenix said to himself, “I just saw something, a vision, perhaps, but it was my own death at the hands of a demon…”
