MOBILE SUIT
GUNDAM H. Z.
Episode 11: Confrontation in Space
(A couple of shuttles followed by HZX go into the hangar bay of colony L3. It’s about a day after the broadcast.)
DoctorT: Curse it, they have probably taken over the lunar base and are building even more mobile dolls. (Steps out.)
Quatre: Will we be able to defeat them if they have that many? (Someone calls Quatre back to the shuttle, he goes in.)
DoctorT: Right now Kert is our only hope, and the way he handled that large group yesterday gives us some assurance.
(Kert’s suit lands and walks to one of the catwalks, the cockpit opens up and Kert gets out.)
Kert: Did you see the broadcast.
DoctorT: Yes, horrible, the stakes have gone up even higher now.
Quatre(Steps out of the shuttle.): Good news, the Magunac corp and Drake and his men will be here in about half an hour.
DoctorT: Well, seems we have even more hope than just you now Kert.
Kert: That’s good to hear, we’ll have to be going right after we repair their suits.
DoctorT: Definitely, we can’t let this go on much longer, it will take the UESA far too long to assemble the forces needed to beat them, not as much the space fortress as the new Virgo Zeta suits. But right now I have to take Heavy Zero X to the repair bay to reload.
Kert: I’d appreciate that.
(On board Barge II.)
Plague: Where did they go?
Tyler: On their last known trajectory they were headed to Colony L3.
Plague: then that’s where we must go, and destroy it.
Tyler: Yes sir, we’ll set course for colony L3 right away.
Plague: Good, I need another thing done as well?
Tyler: What sir?
Plague: They were carrying out Zero system experiments on here were they not?
Tyler: They were.
Plague: Install the system in my gundam.
Tyler: What?!
Plague: In our previous battles Kert and I have matched each other step for step, our mobile suits will end up in a draw, but with a Zero System I will be the superior one if only by a small margin, but I will still win.
Tyler: But sir, won’t that be a bit risky?
Plague: Do you doubt my abilities as a soldier!?
Tyler: No sir, I’ll have it done immediately.
(Tyler walks out of the bridge.)
Tyler: Go ahead, kill yourself you fool, it doesn’t matter at this point.
(Walks into a shuttle bay, walks up to trenchcoat.)
Tyler: How is it.
Trenchcoat: It’s in fine condition sir, final checks were completed at the colony.
Tyler: Excellent.
(Tyler looks down, a large metallic silver suit is being taken out of the shuttle, it looks similar to Epyon.)
(The shuttle group with the Magunac corp on Drake and his men.)
Rasid: Only 15 more minutes till we get there, wait a minute, what the hell is that?!
(A large space station is approaching.)
Drake: That’s the Barge II space fortress, they’re going to attack!
Rasid: Alright, time for battle, get into your suits and get out there!
Drake: What he said!
(the shuttles open up and a few Magunac and LeoIIs come out of each, they head for the colony.)
(The colony.)
Kert: The magunac corp and Drake are here! But they’re unloading their mobile suits?! What’s going on!?
(Suddenly, the entire colony is rocked with an explosion, a huge gaping hole is in the right side of it.)
DoctorT: Need I tell you? Get to Heavy Zero, help the others or they are doomed!
(Kert runs off towards the repair bay, he suits up as fast as possible and jumps into his Gundam once again. He takes off.)
Kert: Glad to see you again Drake!
Drake: Same here, but let’s save it for later, right now let’s kick some tail!
Kert: Right!
(They all open fire on the incoming shuttles, destroying a few of them, they start unloading the Virgo Zeta’s and start firing. HZX takes a buster rifle off it’s back and hands it to Drake)
Kert: Take this, you don’t have anything that’ll get past those shields.
Drake: But won’t you need this?
Kert: Just take it!
(HZX jets into the fray, taking out the Virgo Zeta’s one by one with it’s beam gatlings. Back with Drake the others have fallen back behind him while he blasts the incoming VZs. HZX is flying straight towards Barge II as it’s slicing through the Virgo Zeta with a shield saber, picking a few off with it’s beam gatlings and shoulder cannons.)
Kert: Almost there.
(HZX continues to fight it’s way to Barge when it finally come out the other side of the army of mobile dolls it gets it’s buster rifle and points it right at the Barge and fires, the beam explodes out of the rifle, but out of thin air, four smaller beams come and meet the shot and cause a huge explosion canceling both out, after the explosion has cleared, an ominous black appears.)
Kert: Plague…
Plague: Kert…this time I WILL kill you…
Kert: That might be true and it might not be, but at this point I don’t care who wins, I couldn’t die knowing I hadn’t done anything to prevent the awful war that you’ve created.
Plague: That’s not how a soldier should think, a soldier was born for war and therefore should revel in it.
Kert: I already told you Plague, I’m not a soldier, I’m a peacekeeper.
Plague: It doesn’t really matter right now, nor will it ever again, BECAUSE NOW YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!!!!
(The object comes into focus.)
Kert: What do you call that suit Plague?
Plague: I’ll let you decide like everything else that identifies me!!!!
Kert: I’ll call it Death Scythe Hell X then.
Plague: What ever pleases you!
(DHX takes out both scythes and charges HZX, it swings and hits only the shields, then dodges up avoiding a small barrage from the beam gatlings. HZX looks up and fires it’s shoulder cannons, DHX dodges through the firestorm and fires a buster shield down, it’s dodged but does a U-turn right back up again, HZX takes off, dodging shots from DHX’z drill cannons. It turns around and shoots with it’s shoulder cannons and destroys the shield, then takes out the buster rifle and fires a shot at Plague, he dodges abnormally fast and is on the offensive again in a flash.)
Kert: You’re faster than when we last met Plague! (Dodges a swing from the beam scythes, barely missed being hit.)
Plague: You have no idea!
(DHX swings with them again and again, HZX keeps dodging backwards until DHX comes at it with a huge boost and connects with a hit to the chest, it doesn’t puncture the armor but there is a good dent. HZX fires off a barrage of missiles that DHX dodges through with relative ease and fires off the last buster shield at point blank range, it hits it’s mark on a shield but the explosion sends HZX reeling back, it compensates with it’s rear boosters and fires another shot from the buster rifle, DHX boosts straight up followed by the missiles shot of earlier, the beam from the buster rifle pierces through the army of VZs. DHX stays charges HZX again, but right when it is about to hit it veers to the right and activates it’s beam wings, HZX reacts but doesn’t get the right beam gatling out of the line of fire and they are destroyed.)
Kert: Well at least I got something waiting.
(HZX detaches the broken beam gatlings and activates the shield saber. DHX charges and takes another swing with it’s beam scythes, HZX blocks one of them with the shield saber and grabs the staff of the other before they hit. DHX fires it’s shoulder cannons and HZX lets go and jets down to dodge the shot, it then come up and hits DHX with it’s shield saber, then as DHX recovers from the blow HZX charges and slices one of the beam scythes in half, it explodes, then lodges the pointy end of one of it’s shields into a shoulder, the shield glows red and melts through the armor, it hits the cell for the drill cannon and sends DHX flying backwards with the left drill cannons destroyed. A length of staff that doubles the length of the short staff on the remaining scythe suddenly shoots out of the bottom of it and the three beams combine into one HUGE beam. Then, where the buster shields were before on each arm a curved blade flips out and glows red.)
Plague: You’re not the only one with heat shorter technology!
(DHX takes a swipe at HZX with the HUGE scythe, it hits a shield and leaves a huge cut exposing the innards of the shield saber generator.)
Kert: That new scythe is incredibly powerful!
(DHX takes a right hook at HZX, the heat shorter blade pierces the shield and melts through some of it before HZX kicks DHX away. DHX blazes up it’s scythe again.)
Plague: I…can’t…lose…nobody…can defeat me now!!! NO ONE!!!
(DHx charges with it’s scythe blazing, as it is about to hit the yellowish tint of hallucination takes over, DHX lodges it scythe right in HZXs head and slowly starts slicing through it, midway, HZX grabs DHX, AND SELF DETONATES AND DESTROYS THEM BOTH!!!!)
Plague: AHHH!!!!!
(return to reality. DHX jets back up as it is about to hit HZX)
Plague(breathing heavily.): No one…DIE!!!
(DHX charges with it’s scythe ready, HZX charges with it’s shield saber at the ready. They both hit and the impact of the two beams creates a large anomaly of electricity.)
Plague: YOU WILL DIE!!!
(HZX forces DHX back.)
Kert: Plague, don’t you get it, the world doesn’t want war…
Plague: The world NEEDS war, it’s human beings who don’t want war, but they have to take in it because it will always be!!! No matter what you do!!!
(Suddenly a image window on both their cockpit screens come up, it’s Tyler sitting in the command chair.)
Tyler: Plague, you’ve served me well.
Plague: What?!
Tyler: You’ve helped us by fighting for us, but now your usefulness is at an end.
Plague: What are you saying Tyler?!
Tyler: That’s Commander Tyler Maddison to you.
Kert: Wait a minute! You’re the one who set the UESA after me!
Tyler: Correct, the UESA, like all humans are inefficient and foolish. Once something demanding fighting came into the picture they automatically gave in citing this surrender to him as a solution. Nothing but a clever lie, once the UESA gave in, the world started to become armed again, and soon the war that is going on right now started. Once the UESA has been wiped from the face of the Earth we will start over with a new government that will maintain peace for the ages and finally leave this war racked planet!
Plague: What?! What does that mean?!
Tyler: It means that Earth no longer serves a purpose, the colonies are the human race’s new homes, Earth is nothing more than an oversized resource satellite. And once it is empty it shall no longer serve a purpose at all.
Plague: WHAT?!?!?! HOW COULD YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT?!?!?!
Tyler: Because there is total truth in it.
(The screen goes off.)
Plague: Well if I am to die, I’LL KILL YOU FIRST!!!!
(DHX blazes it’s Scythe and charges, it swings but is countered by the shield saber, it backs off and comes in for another attack, HZX fires off the beam gatlings but misses when DHX jets down and charges, this time is lodges into the shoulder destroying one of the double shoulder cannons, HZX grabs the scythe and pushes DHX away then charges with it’s shields saber, the scythe counters the blow and another explosion of electricity again.)
Plague: This path is the right path, the only path! If you think I am wrong then try and stop me!!!!
(Suddenly, Plague is surrounded by bright yellow light.)
Plague: I WILL NOT CHANGE!!! BRING IT ON!!! YOU’LL NEVER BEAT ME!!!
(Suddenly the bright yellow light goes down, a yellowish tint of hallucination, Barge II fires it’s beam cannon at Earth, it explodes in a wave of energy across the planet, DHX is then stabbed right through the chest and explodes as everything around is enveloped in Earth’s death, afterwards there’s is nothing but space and dead silence. Plague snaps back to reality in a cold sweat.)
Plague(breathing heavily): What…what was……that…
(Plague looks out, Heavy Zero X is just floating there not making a move.)
Plague: Why, why didn’t you destroy me.
Kert: Because then I wouldn’t be able to welcome you to the other side.
Plague:…what?
Kert: The zero system just showed you something didn’t it?
Plague: How did you know I…
Kert: Your voice and whole fighting style had turned into something that looked like nothing but a hollow shell with an entity inside. It wasn’t hard to tell, you’ve never been that fast before.
Plague(looking at Earth.): It’s…still there…thank god…
Kert: War is what you desire, but as a soldier that is what you’re supposed to think, but you have to realize now that wars will eventually destroy the Earth and the human species that live on it. If you kill and die you will have wasted your life. After that the earth will be destroyed and the human race will perish.
Plague:…………
(suddenly DHX takes a swing at HZX, an explosion, it clears HZX is still there, the parts to a VZ float in the vacuum.)
Plague: You should watch your back.
