**************************************
While the others seemed to be firing everything they had into the fray, Betty noticed the blue/white unit hadn’t fired a shot, except the head mounted gun that blew up the missiles. Watching it use the manoeuvring thrusters to dodge the incoming fire, she noticed a red glow build up around the edge of the things extending from it’s arms. The glow increased to the point where it was just as bright as any beam sabre, having seen them in pictures. Dodging another round from a green MS, the blue/white one charged at it, tackling it & slamming the glowing thing on it’s right arm into it’s stomach area. For a second Betty couldn’t see anything happening, but then sparks started to fly out before the green MS’s armour gave out, the weapon sinking in deep. Backing away from the now limp MS, it swung up it’s left arm, blocking a axe swing from the red unit with the shield on it’s arm before kneeing it in the groin armour, shards of twisted metal floating away despite having no obvious damage visible.
Watching it float away, the blue/white MS wasn’t able to dodge the axe swing from one of the green units, which bit deep into it’s right leg. Slamming the left glowing weapon into it’s face, it punched right through the camera visor slot without resistance. Retracting it’s left weapon & grabbing the green unit’s shoulder with it’s right hand, the blue/white unit slammed the weapon into the MS’s gut, delivering the same result as last time. With only one green MS left & the red one coming back in for the attack, the blue/white unit seemed to suss out it’s situation. Dodging the swing from the red unit, the blue/white MS slipped in behind it, grabbing it’s right hand which had the axe thing in it, & ripping it’s gun from it’s mounting on the back of the MS’s groin. Swinging it’s left arm around the red MS’s waist, the gun still in hand, & twisting the right arm so it couldn’t move, the blue/white MS sent both of them racing towards the last green MS, the rounds from the gun destroying the missiles the green one had fired.
Slamming the red MS into the Green one while keeping it restrained, the blue/white MS leaned the red MS’s axe blade against the green one’s chest unit. Noticing the colour drain away in an increasing puddle of grey, the blue/white MS opened fire on it’s stomach once the grey spread over it, the green MS twitching, then went limp. Seizing the opportunity, the red MS broke free of the blue/white’s grip, spinning around & trying to slash it with the axe. Dropping the gun, it grabbed the red unit’s arms, both seemingly at a stalemate. Suddenly pistol rounds started pattering off the 2 of them, the ships MS deciding to get back into the battle, this time though he had gotten out of the hanger & was standing on the bottom of the ship. Holding that position for several minutes, ignoring the pistol shots bouncing off them, they seemed to just stare at each other. Suddenly a ball of white light started growing off the golden dish on the blue/white MS’s stomach, growing to the same size as the dish itself before exploding in a bright flash.
Suddenly the whole world seemed to spin & change colours, all her senses being sent into a spin. Looking around, it was obvious everyone had been affected, some throwing up from the disorientation. All of a sudden something collided with her, as the ship started it’s engines. Wait, engines? The right one was destroyed! Managing to look back at the screen, she could make out despite her head still spinning the red MS floating away at high speed, kicking & wobbling like a baby, & the blue/white MS holding onto what was left of the right engine. The rotating thrusters were now lying against the fixed parts, both pairs burning at full speed with enough force to replace the missing engine. Getting a good head of speed, all the engines shut down, leaving the ship to drift into open space & leaving Earth’s orbit. Her head no longer spinning as much, Betty noticed the blue/white MS had gone limp itself, just drifting along with the ship. Shaking off the last of it, she checked to make sure the passengers were OK, remembering their own MS once she saw they were fine. Racing back to the computer screen, she was relieved to see it floating back towards the ship. Pushing a few buttons on her comms link’s wrist unit, she called it’s pilot.
“Bennyboy, that you in our Mobile Suit?”
“Yeah, that was me. What the hell was that?”
“I don’t know, but you try to pull some thing like that again & you might just end up dead next time! They weren’t playing nice, in case you didn’t notice!”
“Yeah yeah, that’s why I did it. What, you think I’m just let them blow this ship up after I’ve put so much effort into fixing it all the time?”
“Whatever. Look, you know that blue & white Suit you shot at? That one just pushed us away from whoever the hell that was. Problem is, he’s not moving. You wanna go get him for us?”
“Yeah, whatever. Where is he?”
“Right engine bowels. He did a great impersonation of our blown up engine. Move it!”
Reporting the passengers conditions to the Captain, she watched as Ben “Bennyboy” Johnson flew over & grabbed the blue/white MS. Bringing it over to the hanger, it was quickly obvious it wasn’t going to fit inside with that huge pack on it’s back. Instead Bennyboy set it onto the top gravplate, Betty signing a breath of relief when the systems activated. She sighed again when the cockpit opened to reveal the male pilot was wearing a full body flight suit, sealed against the cold vacuum of space. Taking him through an airlock & straight to sick bay, they struggled to remove his flight suit. Accidentally finding a button on the underside of his helmet, Betty stepped back as it popped open, revealing a young man, about 18-19 years old, with brown hair & some sort of box contraption stuck to the side of his head. As the ship’s medic went about changing him & checking him over, everyone but the security guard went back to their positions. With the Captain returning to the bridge to report the situation to Australia’s authorities, being registered to his home country, Betty went to check up on the passengers.
Whoever that guy was, something told Betty that this wasn’t over...

Well, that's Episode 1 done. If I get some interest, I could write a Episode 2, hell might even do it anyway, but I'll leave it at that for now.
Still open for comments. Feedback can be useful... |
