Note: This chapter did take awhile because in the original fic, the battle took place on earth and involved kinetics. So needless to say, figuring out how to redo it was a challenge, but with a little help/inspiration from the film Transformers I figured out how to finish it. Also included is another scene involving Trowa and Catherine and a brief scene involving Wu-Fei and Sally. Also be sure to read the notes at the end of the chapter; and I should point out that the location the battle takes place at is the moon base depicted in the series (Sorry, I’m not the best with descriptions). Also to clear up a potential confusion, the actual Preventer’s HQ where Wu-Fei is at is in Tokyo, Japan. In earlier chapters I mistakenly put both Moon Base 1 and Tokyo, Japan as Preventer HQ’s.
Preventer Headquarter (Tokyo, Japan)
Wu-Fei’s room
Wu-Fei was sitting on his bed when he felt a hand gently touch his shoulder.
“Hey.”
Wu-Fei turned around and saw Sally behind him.
“Hey Sally, you ready to go?”
“Yeah, you sure you’re all right.”
Wu-Fei nodded, “Yeah, I’m just worried about the attack… I have a bad feeling that by the end of day we are going to be burying a lot of soldiers.”
Sally sighed, “Me too… This is so frustrating; I hate not being able to control what’s going to happen.”
“You’re not the only one, but as long as they remain in control I can’t do anything… I’ve never felt this helpless before.”
Wu-Fei lowered his head slightly; Sally leaned forward and kissed him lightly on the cheek. Wu-Fei looked up at her and they both stared at each other longingly. Wu-Fei then wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a gentle kiss.
Catherine’s Home
Trowa looked out of his bedroom window and sighed. Wu-Fei had called him earlier and informed him of the UMS’s plan of action. As much as he hoped that it would work, he had little faith in the operation. His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sounds of Catherine’s voice.
“Trowa quick come here!”
Trowa got up and went into the living room; he saw that Catherine was staring at the TV.
“What is it?”
“Look who’s on,” said Catherine, her face not leaving the TV.
Trowa looked at the TV and saw Dorothy Catalonia on it.
“What’s she doing?”
“She’s making a plea to the ESUN senate to reinstate power back to the Preventer’s.”
Trowa raised an eyebrow, “Well at least we have someone on our side.”
“She was one of the few senators that was opposed to handing power to the UMS; she’s also been the most vocal.”
Trowa and Catherine listened for a minute as she spoke.
“If we are to stop Kale from achieving his goal we must respond with a united front, and not let our own personal differences interfere in doing what’s best for all of earth and space. Make no mistake about it gentlemen; Kale Young is the single greatest threat we have ever encountered, he will eradicate everything we hold dear to our hearts unless we put aside these meaningless quarrels and stand together.
Catherine smiled, “I can see why she has been doing so well, she’s an excellent speaker.”
The camera then shifted to the other senators, Trowa’s eyes narrowed, “That’s odd,” He moved closer to the TV, “Look at the other senators Cathy.”
Catherine looked at them, “What’s wrong?”
“They’re not even paying attention to her; she’s being completely ignored by almost everyone.”
“Why do you think they’re doing that?”
Trowa shrugged, “Could be because they’ve already made up their minds, although I have other ideas.”
“What do you mean; do you think that they’ve been bought off?” asked Catherine.
Trowa just stared at the screen, “It’s possible.”
Dorothy continued on her speech, as the two watched it intently.
Preventer Headquarter
Briefing Room
Wu-Fei and Sally walked into the briefing room and saw General Zen and a few other UMS higher ups look at some monitors. General Zen looked at Wu-Fei and acknowledged them briefly.
Wu-Fei walked up to him, “So, where are we at right now.”
General Zen pointed at one of the monitors; on the screen were small clusters of ships surrounded by a few UMS fighters.
“Those are the last of the ammo supply ships; once its cargo is unloaded and distributed we will begin the assault.”
Wu-Fei nodded and looked at the monitor, as he looked at the base he noticed that there were a few Space Leos patrolling the base.
“I wasn’t aware that the UMS employed Mobile Suits.”
Zen looked at the monitor, “We don’t, however under these circumstances we felt that we could use some added security.”
“Who are piloting those suits?” asked Sally.
“Nobody, those suits are Mobile Dolls.”
Wu-Fei and Sally looked back to the monitor displaying the convoy; the ships were now approaching the base. Suddenly a large explosion erupted from the lead ship. The blast engulfed most of the other surrounding ships and damaged the rest. Wu-Fei and the others frantically looked at the monitors as a cloud of debris and smoke blocked their views. Out of the smoke a series of lasers shot out and destroyed the rest of the convoy. Everyone looked on in a state of shock, not a word was uttered as their eyes strained at the monitors as they desperately tried to see what was happening. As the cloud dissipated they saw in its place, a massive mobile suit.
“What is that?” exclaimed Sally.
All of a sudden, the suit raised its left arm and pointed it at the base. A huge ball of energy shot out from it and impacted the right side of the base devastating a large area of it.
Ramirez smiled as he saw the damage that his weapon caused, “Now it’s time to see what this suit can really do!”
General Zen looked on in horror, “My god,” He ran to the coms link and grabbed the microphone, “I want all the base units to lock on to the target and fire, and scramble the fighters!”
The turrets pointed at the suit and fired, Ramirez activated the suits boosters and sped towards the base. He rolled right to avoid a few blasts and shot off eight missiles from its shoulder that impacted at various areas of the base. He then activated his reverse thrusters to slow his descent; the suit landed on the surface and stood up. All the turrets and Leos were now firing upon it, but the blast seemed to have no effect. Ramirez pointed his right arm at a turret and a series of lasers shot out from the top of its wrist in rapid succession, destroying the turret instantly. After that, Ramirez turned slightly, aimed at a Leo, and fired a few shots at it; they impacted the suit knocking it on its back before it exploded. Ramirez then started walking around the base systematically destroying every structure in its path with his pulse laser. Out of the corner of his eye he saw three Leos grouped together firing at him. Ramirez smiled, pointed his left arm cannon at them, and fired. The ball of energy hit the lead suit destroying it instantly; the other two were quickly engulfed in the ensuing blast.
A series of blasts suddenly struck the back of the suit; Ramirez quickly turned around and faced the source of the blasts. Four Space Leo’s and a turret that were in front of a building were firing upon him.
Ramirez gritted his teeth, “You can’t hurt me!”
He lowered the suits shoulder and sped towards the group using its boosters. He smashed right through two suits and went right into the building, reducing it to rumble. A giant beam weapon that looked like an axe appeared from the suits right hand as Ramirez turned around. He raised the axe above his head and sliced through a Leo; Ramirez then raised his foot and stomped on the turret.
“This is pathetic, I came for a fight,” Ramirez ran over and sliced the other Leo in half, “Come on; show me what you’ve got!”
Suddenly, a few space fighters began launching from the two remaining hangars. Ramirez pointed his left arm cannon at one of the hangars and fired. The ball of energy impacted the building, destroying it. He then quickly turned around and destroyed the other hangar with his missiles.
The fighters that were left grouped together briefly and then separated. Ramirez eyed them carefully and fired his pulse lasers at the group that went left. He destroyed two, but his suit was suddenly rocked by a series of missiles. He quickly turned around and saw that the fighters that had gone right were now heading towards him. He pointed his pulse lasers at them and fired off some shots, destroying a few of them, but he was again hit in the back by missiles, this time from the group that went left. Before Ramirez could fire off another shot, both groups fired off all their missiles at him and passed the suit. The missiles impacted the suit creating a large cloud of moon dust that enveloped the suit and everything around him; the remaining fighters converged again and circled around the cloud.
All eyes in the control room were fixed to the monitor as they tried to see if the suit was destroyed. All of a sudden, eight missiles shot out from the cloud and destroyed one fighter after another. The suit suddenly launched itself above the cloud and went right towards a fighter, its beam axe raised high. Ramirez sliced through the fighter and then sped away from the rest of the group. He then aimed his right arm at them and picked off the remaining fighters with his pulse gun. With the all the fighters destroyed, Ramirez turned around to look at the base.
Ramirez gazed upon the destruction of the base; he had destroyed all the turrets and mobile suits and over 70% of the base structures. Still though, he wanted more, he knew he wouldn’t be satisfied unless every single person down there was dead.
“The reign of Kale has begun.”
With a laugh, Ramirez fired off every weapon he had until the whole base was reduced to rubble. Finally satisfied he activated his boosters and sped out of view of the monitors.
Wu-Fei and the others stared at the screen with a look of shock on his face. In a matter of minutes, Moon Base 1 had been completely annihilated. As he watched the monitors, they suddenly went blank, and in its place, a face appeared on it. Wu-Fei’s blood immediately began to boil as he saw the face of a smiling Kale Young.
“I have to say I’m very disappointed in you, did you really think that after all my years of hiding and waiting for revenge that I’d just let a pathetic force like that come and take it from me, DID YOU REALLY THINK IT WOULD BE THAT EASY? You people know nothing, what you have seen today is only a fraction of my power. I now will leave you with this warning, anymore rescue attempts will result in further massacres and execution of all the hostages.”
The camera then pointed at three of the hostages, one was a boy who didn’t look more than 16.
“And just to show you I’m not bluffing, allow me to present you with a little demonstration.” Kale pulled out his pistol and promptly shot all the hostages in the head.
Kale then looked back at the monitor, a sadistic smile on his face, “I do hope you’ll be more… intelligent in the future, see you around.”
The camera faded and went blank. Wu-Fei face was one of absolute horror, first an entire base was destroyed, and now 3 innocent hostages, including a boy, were dead. A long period of silence enveloped the room as everyone tried to make sense of what had happened. Wu-Fei then watched as Zen slowly got up, and walked out the door.
Zen walked out of the room and shut the door behind him. He started walking down the hall back to his chambers, his face just a blank stare. But as he reached his chambers a huge smile came across his face, he even began to laugh a little as he walked in.
End Part 5
Endnote:Took me long enough but I finally finished it. I know I say this every time, but I will try to get better with updating in the future. Also it has occurred to me that I’ve been posting a lot of notes about the difference between this story and the old version, however most of you that have been reading this have probably never seen the old version. So if for any reason you want to read the old version then let me know through either e-mail or review and I’ll be glad to send it. As always be sure to read and review, that way I can know how to get better.
Also, I’ve been getting back into reading Fanfiction and came across this story that I felt was so good, that it warranted a recommendation:
Occam's Razor by Tynan
I cannot recommend this story enough; it’s easily one of the best I’ve ever read. Be sure to check it out and give him a review.
So with that taken care of, here are the Specs for the new suit:
Code Name: Colossus
Pilot: Lt. Ramirez
Height: 18.9 Meters
Weight: 10.3 Tons
Armor Material: Gundanium Alloy
Armaments:
2x Pulse Lasers
1x 8-Shot Shoulder Missile Launcher
1x Mega Cannon
1x Beam Axe
Notes: The design for the Colossus suit is based off the Thor suit from the MechWarrior games. (Just type, “Thor MechWarrior” in Google images if you want an idea of what it kind of looks like) The left arm is basically a giant cannon, with the missile launcher placed on the left shoulder. On top of the right hand is the pulse laser, and the axe itself is just a simple beam sword modified to look like a double-edged battle-axe.
