MOBILE SUIT
GUNDAM H. Z.
DEADEYE
Episode 9: The Winner Assassination
(An airbase, a caravan of trucks carrying mobile suits drives up.)
Officer: hmm? What’s that?
(The trucks keep going, they crash past the checkpoint. The officer pushes a button on the intercom.)
Officer: Alert! Possible attack!
(The trucks crash through the main gate, as they keep on going Leos and Leo IIs jump off the truck beds and start destroying the mobile suits and gun turrets defending the base.)
Drake: Go! Now!
Kert: Right!
(One of the trucks, which is carrying Heavy Zero, drives through the line of offense and is followed by two Leo IIs which fend off attacking enemies.)
DoctorT: There’s one! (points towards a shuttle.)
Drake(In one of the mobile suits defending the truck.):It has room for two mobile suits, but only one gundam, and two passengers.
Kert: That means you stay here Drake! Couldn’t we get a bigger one?!
Drake: No time, get in!
(The trucks stops in front of the rear door to the cargo section, Kert jumps out with an MP-5 sub machine gun and shoots the guards then jumps in the cockpit and presses a button, the truck drives in and Kert closes the door and turns the shuttle around to the run way.)
Kert: Cover for us while we’re on the runway or this was all a waste.
Drake: Already on it!
(Drake and the only other LeoII guarding the truck destroy all the turrets and mobile suits on the runway.)
Drake: All clear, go before they recover!
Kert: Seya Drake!
(They take off. Dodging fire from other mobile suits until they are a speck in the sky.)
Drake: Ok! Retreat!
(The mobile suits back off until they are free from fire and turn tail and run.)
Kert: I hope they’ll be ok.
DoctorT: As do I Kert, as do I.
(Back on ground, the defense force is starting to recover from the blow and is chasing down Drake and his men, four have died so far.)
Captain: Throw down your weapons and surrender, we have you surrounded.
(Drake looks around, they aren’t kidding, they have the place totally surrounded, Drake see’s no alternative. He throws down the machine cannon he was using.)
Drake: We, surrender.
(Up in space, Plague is overlooking the construction of his new suit again. Trenchcoat is at his side.)
Trenchcoat: Construction is almost complete sir, only one more day until it is done.
Plague: Good, I can hardly wait, finally, the world will hear my message. If they do not heed it they will be destroyed.
Trenchcoat: Of course sir.
Plague: I’ve been wondering, what adjustments have you made?
Trenchcoat: Well we upped the power of the beam cannons on the shoulder naturally, the scythes can combine to make one powerful beam but that kind of power has to be handled with two hands, to give it even more force the handles extend to a two hand length.
Plague: I see, I’m impressed, a group this size building such a monster of a mobile suit.
(Trenchcoat starts walking away.)
Trenchcoat(whisper): You have no idea.
(Trenchcoat walks up to a door and slides a card through the slot at the right, the door opens and he walks in and looks up. There is a large metallic silver mobile suit, it’s mostly in shadows though, Tyler walks up behind Trenchcoat.)
Trenchcoat: It’s complete sir, when the time comes we will use it, and the time will come sir.
Tyler: It had better, for your sake. This world is too filled with fools for us not to succeed.
(Tyler walks away.)
(In space, Kert and DoctorT have made it, they are looking about holographic display maps and the such.)
DoctorT: seems getting into space was the easy part.
Kert: How could some one so well known be so hard to find?!
(Kert reaches over and turns a television on, it has images of a meeting in colony L1.)
Reporter: And today the Winner family representative, Quatre Rebarba Winner has just gotten the go from the UESA board of representatives to start work on extracting resources from the new asteroid that is within reach, it has been codenamed MO-V.
Kert: Seems something happens at your moment of despair.
DoctorT: Well we know where to go.
(DoctorT pulls a gun out from under the console.)
Kert: Huh? What’s that for DoctorT?
DoctorT: logically speaking, they’ll be going after him.
Kert: What?! Why?!
DoctorT: Because he is the only one who would help us right now, since he is such a power in space the UESA can’t touch him with out major political drawback, even if he helps us. Therefore he will be a prime target for our enemies. They probably have plans to kill him that are in motion as we speak.
(DoctorT hands Kert the gun and grabs another one.)
Kert: You’re not planning on coming too are you?
DoctorT: Of course I am, who’s going to fly you out of there?
Kert: I guess you have a point…
(Colony L1, Quatre is in the back seat of a limousine. It has four cars as escort.)
Quatre: Driver, why do they have such tight security all of a sudden?
Driver: They can’t confirm whether Plague is dead or not, you, being such the power you are, are a prime target.
Quatre: I see.
(The cars escort start speeding up, one of them starts turning to the left, the limo is forced to turn left.)
Quatre: Hey wait, isn’t the hangar on the right exit? Why are we going to the left?
Driver: I just told you.
(They stop in a abandoned lot, the guys from the escort cars come and drag Quatre out then throw him on the ground and one of them pulls out a gun and points down at Quatre and pulls the trigger, but just as he does a large hole bursts open in the left side of his chest, so rather then getting shot in the head, Quatre is shot in the shoulder. The assassin falls.)
Quatre: AAAHHH!!!
Driver: Who the hell was that?!
(Someone in a black trenchcoat walks up. Pulls out a gun.)
Driver: Get him!!! Get him!!!
(They all start to fire but the guy dodges behind one of the cars, he pops up and picks off three of the assassins, ducks down again and reloads.)
Driver: Get him in the car, let’s get outta here!
(The pick up Quatre and throw him in the car which takes off. The guy gets into one of the cars they left behind and follows them.)
Driver: Who the hell is this guy?!
Assassin: Who cares we can kill him right here!
Driver: No you idiot, the blood would link us directly to it!
Assassin2(looking in rearview mirror): Wait, what’s he doing?
(The guy sticks his gun out the window and shoots out the two rear tires.)
Driver: Dammit!
(The truck pulls over does a skidding halt, the last three men get out and start shooting at the car, the passenger dives out [tuck and roll! lol] and pulls out the gun again, picks off two of them, then runs up and knocks out the remaining one with the gun handle, he looks inside, Quatre clumsily picks up one of the dropped guns and points it at him.)
Quatre(shaky tone):…stay….stay away from me!
Trench: Look, you’re going to have to trust me! I don’t wanna kill you! (It’s Kert)
Quatre: Just stay argh!
(Quatre grips his shoulder which is bleeding badly, he drops the gun and Kert points his gun at him.)
Kert: Get out! If you wanna live, you better just do what I say and you’ll make it outta this fine!
(Quatre hesitantly gets out of the car, Kert helps him up.)
Kert: You can walk right?
Quatre: I think so.
Kert: good.
(Kert fishes something out of his inner coat pocket and sticks it in the air, a flare. A chopper comes up and lets down a rope ladder.)
DoctorT: Hurry!
Kert: Get lower he’s injured!
(A few black cars come driving up. DoctorT lowers the chopper almost to the ground and helps Quatre in, Kert starts shooting at the cars, one he hits crashes into the railing but the others starts shooting back.)
DoctorT: Here!
(DoctorT throws an M-16 down to Kert, Kert fires at the cars and if he didn’t already kill the drivers with it he made them crash, he then drops the gun and scrambles up the rope ladder as the chopper takes off again.)
Quatre: Who…(grimaces, shoulder) are you people?
Kert: I’m Kertani Williams, that’s DoctorT.
DoctorT: Konnichiwa!
Quatre: Wait a second, you’re both wanted by the UESA!
DoctorT and Kert: We noticed.
Kert: You know if I hadn’t of fired when I did the other side of your head would be a gaping hole right now, I didn’t know they would proceed so swiftly. I’m glad I didn’t hesitate.
Quatre: Why did you save me in the first place?
Kert: First of all, we couldn’t let a major power like yourself be assassinated, secondly you’re the only one who can help us.
Quatre: But how? Plague is no longer a threat right?
Kert: that’s what they advertised to gain more respect from the public, what they didn’t is that they were gonna kill me.
Quatre: What?! Why?!
Kert: Because after I finish my mission I am a quote ‘threat to peace’.
Quatre: You’ve got the skills to be one.
Kert: But the intention to be one is non existent.
Quatre: I see, so what can I do to help?
DoctorT: Well, first of all We’re going to need some gundanium.
Quatre: For what?
Kert: All your questions will be answered in time, now just lay back and press this onto the wound hard, we have some medical equipment where we’re going.
(Kert hands a folded towel to Quatre, who does what he was told.)
(Back in the secret Alliance repair bay. Plague is looking over the final checks of his new gundam.)
Plague: Everything is operational right?
Trenchcoat: Correct, fully functional.
(A watch on Trenchcoat’s wrist beeps.)
Trenchcoat: Pardon me sir, there is business I must attend to.
(Off in a room somewhere.)
Tyler: What?! You mean the operation was a complete failure?!
Trenchcoat: From what I’ve heard the one who saved Winner was wearing a black trenchcoat and sunglasses, he had brown hair, that’s the only details we have right now.
Tyler: It’s the kid isn’t it?
Trenchcoat: My thoughts exactly sir.
Tyler: In that case we will have to begin the operation sooner than expected. Or else they may be a problem.
(In the lunar base, DoctorT is issuing orders to people working on the upgrade of Heavy Zero. Kert is sitting with a cup of java at his side.)
DoctorT: About 89% complete now, won’t be long, maybe a day at most.
Kert: That’s good to hear, whatever Plague is up to now he’s sure to show it to us soon.
