"The day is July 22nd, of the year 0045 Lost Century and we begin the trial of the Principality of Zeon and Side 4 vs. Kin Hyazaki of the Earth Federation Forces and the Dendrobium Stamen, would the royal court please rise." The crowd was filled with many faces of the Zeon pilots, all hopingto see an open shut case where Kin would be fried in the morning. Side 4 had a very efficient death penalty, enough electricity was sent into the victim that it shut down the colony for 2 seconds, the effects never left any of the victims alive or in one or even ten pieces. The strangest thing to see was a familiar face in the jury, a black haired man wearing a Zeon dress uniform, an Ensign but he was for some reason admired with awe among the crowd. The man was the pilot of the F91, a Zeon loyalist whose job it was to kill any Federation members who reached this far. This was the first sign to Kin that he had no chance in this trial, even the jury was corrupted by the Zeon. Croccifixio had already gotten the vote from the jury before they had even heard the trial and it would take no time to pass the judgement and watch the pilot fry.
Kin sighed to himself at the table where they had him, his new prison jumpsuit was strikingly thin, a young guard before had told him it was to conduct the electricity in the skin better. This made him very nervous, and he only had one hope. So when they were seated, the judge had entered, he was a heavy set man with a big beard and a bald head and the robe ballooned around his massive girth. He ordered the plaintiff to stand once more before he began his speech. "We are here today to condemn you to death young man, but first let it be known, you will never defeat Zeon. Sieg Zeon!" The jury and everyone in the courtroom yelled out in unison, and the crowd was in glorious Zeon uproar. Kin felt the uproar of fury inside himself, jumping up from his seat in his shackles screaming at the mindless crowd to just shut up. He was recieved with his lawyer standing up and shoving a baton into his ribs, knocking the air out of him and he could only turn to spit blood into the shirt of his lawyer. The lawyer pounced on him, the guards letting him knock Kin around before pulling him off. This court would never let Kin Hyazaki of the Dendrobium Stamen live.
The rest of the trial seemed to go in a flash, two hours of the preliminary passed by without a hitch. Even his lawyer had pleaded guilty for him, and asked for the maximum sentence of death by electrocution. The judge listening to the closing statements before telling Kin the obvious,
"there is no retrials here, sir. You are to die at 5:30 tommorow morning by electrocution, say your last goodbyes to God, and maybe he will pass forgiveness on a Feddy murderer. Go on in peace, for this is your last day."
Kin was taken to the back of the courtroom to exit when he saw the familiar jury member leave, the man only turned and smiled at him. This was definitely the loudmouth Croccifixio Dante Lena, and it seemed he had enough political influence to get into the jury and pass his judgement on Kin.This war had seemed to taken its first casualty in the civilians, but even more it seemed Kin would be the next victim, and he had the face of the Zeon Ensign carved into his mind, knowing that he would see this man one more time. The Earth Federation had to get him out of this prison, or he would die. This was not his time to die. Kin watched everything closely,
especially when he was returned to his cell, two priests were waiting for him at his cell, a younger one and an older one. The older was quite odd looking, for his large nose looked almost fake, and his bushy eyebrows and beard gave him a grizzled appearance.
The priests asked for the guards to leave so Kin could say his final prayers, and they could pray together. The guards luckily for Kin, were quite religious and obeyed the priest. He looked to the other priest, then realizing he wasn't a priest but a rabbi. This was starting to sound like a bad joke, and he eyed the men. They knelt him down to pray and he began to say his goodbyes, and the priest blessed him before the rabbi handed him something, he didn't look at it first, just watching them waltz out of the cell and out of the prison. In his hand was an air-tazer, and on the bottom was a note. "from Hiro and Kai to Kin, goodluck kid" in small scribbles. He could only imagine the priest, Kai ripping the fake nose and bushy eyebrows off, the beard coming off next. Next the rabbi, Hiro, would take off the decorative clothes and they would join together in a good laugh before Kai would undoubtedly make a joke about a priest and a rabbi.
Nevertheless, they were gone and he was supposed to escape on his own. The tazer would help, but what about them? Wouldn't they mount the attack that would help rescue him, or were they the only ones? He already knew of atleast one Zeon pilot from Earth returning to Side 4 to make sure he was killed, but was there more? It was a deep sadness that overwhelmed him, and he could only hide the tazer, and wait for the moment to strike. This would be quite awhile it seemed.
Outside Side 4, 6 hours later
The Earth Federation and rogue pilots had amassed around a focal point, the Physalis. It was a well known fact that the Earth Federation and the pilot of the suit had been in contact and any news of Zeon was passed to them through him, and it was a miracle that he had not been discovered by the Zeon and eliminated as a threat. Ryu sat in the cockpit, talking to the
pilots on a secure channel, soothing their worries by telling them his plan. He had it all planned out, even though some of the rogues thought it was foolish to trust a Zeek turncoat. The Earth Federation also knew that the massive Keilis Guiele was offline for most of the day, due to the pilot of the Physalis doing a little handy work with the systems. It seemed to the EF that Ryu moved a little too freely in the Zeon ranks, it was almost if they were letting him work with such ease. Against their better judgement they would have to trust him to get Kin out, and if they had to they could leave Ryu behind to recieve his ultimate punishment. The meeting between the 7 EF-Rogue rescue party started off slow, as Hiro and Kai had just returned from the first infiltration into the base. Only one more secret mission inside was needed to rescue Kin and Kai would be returning with Colson Diego of the ball to meet Kin halfway as obviously a tazer
wouldn't stand up to a squadron of guards with automatic rifles. This would be a very tough mission as the battle would have already started so they would have to bust in with their mobile suits this time.
The next part of the mission was to now go underway, and Hiro sat inside the Strike, his stomach filled with butterflies as they began to rush towards the colony, the Strike having no weapon that could damage the colony, so he fired nothing but watched as the Gaia Gear Alpha fired its air-to-surface missiles, the large missiles hitting the colony and causing explosions
that immediately drew MS defenses from the colony. A squadron of Dra-Cs led by an extremely fast moving suit were approaching towards the group, the 4 Dra-Cs fired the vulcans which barely did any damage from afar, but never the less it was frightening for the newbie group of heroes. The suit infront of the Dra-Cs was a Zeon suit from Earth, piloted by Michael
Romanov. Hiro gasped as he saw it was the same one that had hunted him down when he had went after the Dom. This would be his time for revenge.
The Dra-C wave passed through the middle of the EF army in a flash, it was almost a suicide manuever but then the Sazabi's suit was already damaged, the hand falling off in a quick movement. Kai's mind raced as he wondered what was going on, the Dra-Cs didn't seem to have any weapon that could damage a suit in such a way, the vulcans surely didn't do it. He then noticed something on the shield, and he instantly knew he had overlooked the obvious. Dra C beam sabers were mounted on the shields, and the Dra-Cs were just going through their lines and cutting their suits before shutting the beam sabers off and running. He turned his ground unit type suit in a slow movement and began opening fire upon the Dra-Cs, the gatling shield firing rounds that did barely in damage in this space environment. He dropped the gatling shield instantly and grabbed the heat sword and heat rod, mounting close range attacks now. He swung the heat rod around the neck of a Dra-C and quickly pulled back, the heat rod tearing the head off and cutting off all cameras to the pilot when the Strike fired its long range beam
rifle into the cockpit of the hurt suit, knocking the Dra-C squadron down to
only 3 more and the Xi.
Michael Romanov approached the Sazabi cautiously trying to finish the job on the damaged suit, and he was surprised to find the beam shotrifle in hand and turned towards the Xi, it fired and bounced against the beam barrier, but Michael knew better than to go in an extended fight with a weapon that strong, it could easily wear down his beam barrier and then break the long range advantage that he had in space. He fled only to be hit with an extremely strong beam that knocked his suit over, as the beam was strong enough and so concentrated that it could go through the beam barrier, still very little damage was done but Michael knew instantly who it was. "So you're here little man, didn't we teach you enough back on Earth?" The Strike held the high energy beam rifle firmly ready to fire again."Yes, you taught me you're only strong in numbers. The other suit did most of the work, I don't know why you're so proud of it. Besides its only me and you now." The Strike armed its combat knives, manuevering in a quick motion to thrust one inside of the Xi, getting one in but at a price. The Xi took the strikes other combat knife and the arm with knee missiles,and then turning fired the Xis beam rifle into the back of the Strike. Hiro turned the suit around quickly, angrily arming the bazooka and getting ready to fire when he the Xi simply lowered the beam rifle and Michael spoke, "I'm sorry to tell you, boy, but we're no longer in this fight alone."
Hiro gasped as the arms of the Zeong extended from around the sides of the Strike and fired blasts from the wire-guided mega particle guns into the torso of the Strike. Hiro was thrown back hard into his seat and his head collided hard knocking him out, and shutting down the Strike as Michael let the suit float off. Tycho could only point and laugh at Hiro's end in this fight. The Zeong and the Xi blasted off as the massive mobile armor fired mega particle guns in all directions, the more nimble of the Earth Federation were able to dodge but the Neue Ziel stayed there for the battle, its I field barriers blocking the large beams easily. Tycho and Michael
laughed at the pilots audacity, knowing the MA's pilot thought he was probably all powerful in the titanic suit. Tycho came into range of the Neue Ziels mega cannon, and it fired, Tychobarely dodging in the massive Zeong but he did, allowing the beam to pass by him. This however was
not so well for the colony as the beam hit, causing some damage from afar. This brought out 3 Val Varo mobile armor units, the massive mobile armors soon began to roam the battlefield in search of prey.
The first such prey was Ender of the GGA, the big mobile armors surrounded the suit, one firing the mega particle cannon and the others the missiles, the mega particle cannon hitting first and doing no damage but the missiles then fix that problem as they swarm the suit and hit two different critical points, one hitting the I-field barrier's origin and destroying the generator for the beam defense, while the other set hit behind the left knee joint of the suit and caused the leg to start malfunctioning. The damaged suit could only fight for a short while when the Val Varos engaged their claws and captured the Val Varo inside of their claw, one grabbing the top and the other the bottom, and they pulled like at the suit like two selfish children fighting over a toy, until finally the GGA broke in half. The Val Varos pilots had already decided to try and get Ender back into Side 4 for a new prisoner to be executed. The massive mobile armors had taken off
immediately afterwards leaving the Earth Federation suits to try and follow but none could reach the GGA in time.
Inside Kin's Cell, 1 hour later
The time had come for him to be escorted out for the last dinner, and he sat down at his table, a bucket of KFC's original recipe sat before him, "What? I asked for steak! Hows a guy supposed to go out with this in his stomach? Are you trying to make me puke myself to death?" The elder guard laughed aloud, his rifle held at his shoulder, just what Kin had wanted. Kin kept groaning and complaining searching for the right moment to attack. "Come on, atleast if you're going to give me KFC have it be extra crispy." The guards were laughing at this small misfortune and were so at ease that they didn't see the tazer being pulled out. The air tazer fired off, and shocked the first guard from afar, knocking him out easily. The other guard jumped up and fired a round into the general area of Kin, but Kin instantly jumped over one of the many prison lunchroom tables. He jumped behind one and flipped it over, using it as a distraction as he crawled around it. The other guard kept wasting rounds as he pumped the table full of rounds.
Soon he ran out of ammo and he stopped listening for any noises from behind the table, not hearing any he went to it, only to see Kin wasn't there.
It had been nearly a minute of nonstop firing, and Kin had ran the whole way, finding a small private cemetary for prisoners who were executed. He breathed a little, seeing the fence that was probably connected to the outside visiting center. He got a run at it, and he kicked himself off the ground, barely grabbing onto it but grasping it at the end of his fingers.Using his feet he pushed himself up so he could grab fully onto the ledge where he lifted himself all the way up. The tazer dropped from his hands when he reached the top falling back into the prison cemetary side of the fence. He started to lean back to go back down when guards sprung from the wide doorway and fired rapidly at him, tearing into the wall to where he just fell off, leaving the tazer behind even though it was his only weapon. He was lost, and defenseless but atleast he could now get out of the prison. The klaxons rang out all over the prison and he quickly rushed the guard at the gate, punching him in the face and grabbing his face smashing it into the controls for the gate, which opened immediately.
He turned for a quick second as rifle fire chased him from the prison, and he began a run down the street. Cars came from all around the prison, chasing him down this lonely street as he dodged their attempts to cut him off. He looked behind him for a quick second when a car came rushing at him, the driver aiming out of the window with a shotgun and firing. The shots just missed, but the car wasn't going to and Kin jumped up onto the hood of the car, the car then smashing into the prison gates. The drivers shotgun fell out and fired, scattering the stopping cops. Kin jumped to the shotgun, grabbing it before dashing back into the city streets, hoping
to lose himself in the crowds.
The Battle Outside the Colony, 15 minutes later
The Earth Federation forces had finally started getting closer to the colony where they would try and save Kin. News of Ender Drev'starns capturing by the Val Varo trio had reached around the Earth Federation lines, but they had made sure that it was impossible to get back into the colony,
patrolling the docking zones for the massive red mobile armors. The colonies Dra-Cs were destroyed thanks to the Ball and its quick firing skills. Corson Diego was soon to begin the rally on Side 4 any minute, followed by the Gouf and the Sazabi. They got inside the colony quickly, surprisingly meeting little resistance in the Zeon forces. They walked straight into the middle of
the industrial zone of the colony, finding beam fire rushing for them. The Dom piloted by Raymond Braun was leading two of the same Von Brauns that had captured the Gaia Gear Alpha and its pilot. Corson brought the Balls 180mm cannon raining hellfire down on the first Val Varo, ignoring the Dom for right now, screaming at the pilot. "Where the hell is Ender? Where did you take that pilot?" The cannon fire tore into the claws and the large mega particle cannon, taking the two most major weapons off the massive titan.
The Val Varos pilot screamed as the Gouf jumped up with heat sword in hand and slammed it into the cockpit of the Val Varo, exploding and killing the pilot. Raymond Braun made a smooth manuever and slammed the giant bazooka into the side of the Gouf, Kai seeing it just in time to jump from the Gouf as the suit exploded. Nanaki dodged the Dom leg as it swept past him,
Raymond firing more giant bazooka rounds into the buildings after missing the remaining two suits. The buildings rumbled all around as the Sazabi and the Ball quickly made for an escape route, the glint of a very fast moving suit was all they had seen and then they realized that this part of the colony had been shut down for a reason. "An ambush!" A massive beam fired at the two suits, striking the Sazabi but not destroying it. "Stop and turn yonder cowards, for the thou are to be smiten with my fury. For the Glory of Zeon!" The F91 was upon the Ball in seconds, the Ball's 180mm cannon tried to fire but found two different F91s to fire upon. He fired at one
only to see it dissapear in the shedding of thin layers of armor and the other F91 leapt forward with beam saber in hand and cut the cannon off. Colson had no time to react as the beam saber cut the top half of the ball off, leaving him just enough time to escape as the suit exploded. The
F91 simply turned and went for the Sazabi, recieving shotrifle shots into the chest, but he kept going.
The Sazabi turned and ran when he spotted the Physalis around the corner, Noah could only smile as the F91 approached, VSBR ready when the Physalis struck, a beam saber in hand. The F91 lost the VSBR and the right arm in the manuever and he thrusted the F91 back. "Ryu what are you doing? Oh..I see, you are the enemy." The Physalis thrust forward firing the vulcans
which begin to tear into the F91, and the beam saber moved again this time the beam saber of the F91 blocked it and pushed it to the side, the F91 cutting a quick X movement into the torso of the Physalis' thick armor. Croccifixio had been duped, and he knew it. He had no chance of
keeping the prisoner on this colony until morning, and he had only one option. Zeon training taught him to punish the enemy in the most severe way, and the main enemy now was the traitor standing before him. He had to lure him outside, he had to tear him in half with the powerful Sattelite Launcher.
Ryu was no fool, but he knew that he had to get outside to survive and if he had to he could destroy the colony with the atomic payload. He turned the Physalis quickly and headed for space, cutting through anything that blocked his path. The F91 followed behind not bothering to fire any of the weapons on the F91. This was the fight to gain control of the battle with the
super weapons. The Physalis jetted into space turning sharply with the thruster binders flaring out and the Atomic bazooka base moved up onto the shoulder, and the shield raised to allow the barrel/trigger mechanism to be released, turning the lock in the shield and allowing the barrel to float freely, one hand grabs ahold of it and the hand automatically aligns the barrel and the base. The flashing lights on the barrel and base light up, the red bulbs illuminate space around the colony as the atomic round loaded.
Down below the Sattelite Launcher was aimed perfectly at the Physalis, the launcher loaded but the round was not enough to destroy the Physalis so easily. His only strategy was to aim for the bazooka. If either of them fired, the other would die too. It was a deadlock, both of them were
sweating as the weapons were aimed. Ryu was not so brave as to even squeeze the trigger and fire the atomic payload. Likewise with Croccifixio, but for a different reason, if he fired first the atomic bazooka's warhead was still strong enough to kill him and destroy the colony and half the Zeon forces in space. "Cross, this is your last steps, tell your colony goodbye. I think i can fire this atomic bazooka and kill you before you can fire that sattelite launcher. Remember you're too far away to fire the microwave particles from that Launcher."
Croccifixio Dante Lena was nervous, he had been caught in his trick. He didn't think Ryu knew the technical details of his suit, but the little turncoat was efficient in his operations. He had to only pull the trigger and prove Ryu wrong and kill them all to save the colony...
On the Opposite Side of the Colony
The Zeong and the Neue Ziel were still facing off, the massive beam cannons were taking their tolls on both suits, 3 of 4 i field generators were down on the Neue Ziel and massive holes were in the armor of the Zeong. Tycho growled as Seth fired the mega cannon once more, the micromissiles fired and swarmed the Zeong tearing into the armor. The Mega Cannon finally was going to hit the Zeong and knock Tycho out of the battle when the Xi sprung up inbetween the Xi and the blast. Michael screamed out as the Xi's beam barrier was torn apart and the Xi was slammed down into the colony, the suit shutting down.
Tycho looked down at his friend before turning around to the Neue Ziel and in one second letting a hellish blast loose upong the Neue Ziel, the last I field shorts out instantly and the tail binder is gone in a flash of light, taking away many of the Neue Ziels weapons. The Zeong had barely any more armor, but Tycho could care less. He fired off more and more mega particle gun blasts which tore the Neue Ziel apart piece by piece. The Zeong rushed the Neue Ziel, ready to rush the suit as the titans collided both of them firing their strongest weapons into the other. In the flash the Zeong was destroyed, and the Neue Ziel was mostly out of operation. Tycho was heard
laughing as he pulled his trump card on the Neue Ziel, the Zeongs head popping off and firing two mega particle guns into the Neue Ziel causing it to shut down.
The Xi and the Zeong would win to fight another day, while Seth Halo would only pick up the pieces of his once great suit.
Inside the Colony, 10 minutes later
The police had gotten word of his escape, and for nearly an hour they had chased him all over the colony when he found himself approaching a large hangar, the gray color standing out as the dark red color of artificial dirt moved to the colony contrasted so much that it luckily caught Jin's eye. He raced towards it, hoping to find a Zaku or something to escape this dreaded Zeon colony. He would never want to return here again, and if this was his escape he was grateful the Zeon didn't hide their hangers when on their colonies.
He entered the hanger when he heard something behind him. The Zeon had brought Rick Dias suits to capture him, or atleast he thought they were here to capture him. The Rick Dias came slowly, still looking for him before cop cars swarmed their feet and guided them to the hanger where they had thought he would be. He stepped inside where a dozen suits were in pieces, and
he was lucky enough to see a familiar face on one of the suits. "Stamen!" It had no weapons on it but that could have a remedy. He climbed into the lift and moved it to the cockpit of the Stamen pulling a technician from out of the suit and throwing him off of the lift to where he fell to the concrete before. He activated the Stamen and tore through the lift and manuevered to
get out of the hanger when he noticed the entrance was surrounded. The only thing he could find was a beam saber was he had a speed burst, tearing into 1 Rick Dias, cutting it in half with the beam saber and dashing back into the city. He was followed by bazooka fire, the rounds hitting buildings in the downtown business zone in the distance. The Stamen was gone from
their sight in seconds.
Kin manuevered the suit towards the exit where they had brought him when he was captured. He was about to exit when he saw a figure ontop of a building staring at him. His eyes flashed open when he saw who it was. The officer that captured him and hit him while in prison, the man who wished so dearly for his life to end, was there. He clearly heard the words being
screamed, "When you return here, one of us will die. I don't plan on it being me! Don't let anyone else kill you!" The man dissapeared into a doorway and Kin pushed on towards the exit. He shot out of one of the docking zones, manuevering around some small Zeon scout ships, on his way he found a floating half of a mobile suit clung to a deactivated Val Varo. It was the
Gaia Gear Alpha. Ender was perched ontop of the Val Varo, and he waved to the Stamen, Kin motioning for him to get back into his suit. The \Stamen then began to tear the GGA out of the claw arm, the GGA clutching a beam saber buried in the Val Varo. The Val Varo exploded as soon as the beam saber exited, allowing the GGA and the Stamen to escape.
They met with the last remaining Earth Federation suit, the Physalis. The rest were lost in the warfare and probably had already escaped from the colony, since no fatalities were reported for the EF during the battle. They dared not make a move though, for they watched the F91 down below aiming the powerful weapon against the atomic bazooka. They could no longer tell how long they had been in this deadlock as the F91 remained poised. Finally, Croccifixio deactivated the Sattelite Launcher. He stared down the Physalis, and finally transmitted the message. "This is not to be our last battle, for if you fire that atomic bazooka i will make sure all of the
remaining Zeon hunt you down and kill even your extended family. We cannot go on like this, and you have your precious Stamen back, so leave us be, but this is the first battle of the War. Let you not forget my face, for i will be your death."
The Physalis wisely turned the suit around, and made away quickly followed by the Stamen loaded down with the Gaia Gear Alpha as they yelled aloud for their victory. "Sieg Zeon my ass"
