Brief description: After 15 years the destructive power of a newtype
is revived
Vulture, the name given
to the people who scrapped what was left of the military bases and life off
selling parts and supplies to others. They are rightfully named since they live
like vultures, scavenging for treasurers left from the past. No one really knows
what motivates them or their agenda. This couldn't be more true of the Freeden
and her captain, after hearing of Tifa he spent all his time tracking her until
he was finally able to take her from the Alternative Company, a business that
survived the war and was closely connected with the Earth Federation. It was
in taking her that Garrod got mixed up in all this, originally sent to take
her from the Freeden he realized he was hired by someone that Tifa didn't want
to go with. Someone apparently from her past, he made a snap decision to get
her away from them but eventually ended up back with the Freeden after seeing
that it's captain was trying to help her.
"Brain scans all show
normal," said one of the scientists that was studying Tifa. "Looks
like this might work" another said. "It had better, they want results
and she isn't going to help us so if this doesn't work it's over" said
yet another. Tifa was no longer in the same room. She had been moved to some
weird looking chamber and was still restrained, this time in a tube like device
similar to the large scanner they had used once before. But this time something
new had been added, to ensure their new 'weapon' would function properly. "As
soon as the system is activated, her thoughts should be somewhat repressed,
enough for us to input orders and have her follow them" said the lead doctor.
"Target sighted"
said Toniya, a member of Freeden's bridge crew. The 3 Vulture ships approached
a Federation base with an army of mobile suits guarding it. "What the.
. . so many mobile suits. . . this must be the place" Sala said. "There
must be over 50 suits here" replied Toniya. A channel opened from the MS
hanger, "GX and Leopard are complete and ready for battle, but Airmaster
will take another week or so." Jammil pressed a button to open a line to
the rest of the ship ordering the gundams to be deployed. He then opened a line
to the other ships telling them to begin the assault now and to follow their
plan. The other ships sent out 10 mobile suits each along with Freeden's 2 gundams.
Garrod rushed into the GX, placing the G-controller unit into place the gundam
powered up and sped out. The battleships fired long range missiles at the enemy
suits and the battle began. Alarms rang out as the mobile suits scrambled for
combat.
Inside the base a Federation
general stood watching the battle. "They have no idea what they are up
against, we don't even need mobile suits anymore." He picked up a phone
and pressed the extension for the lab. "Activate the MAN-003 Patulia."
Outside, the battle raged on, Leopard fired it's gatling and destroyed 3 suits,
then another 4 fell as it fired it's missiles. GX took out 2 with it's beam
rifle and another with it's sword as it rushed straight for the base, not even
bothering with the mobile suits. He would not allow Tifa to remain here any
longer then she had to. As he was about to crash into he base a huge earth quake
nearly caused his gundam to tip over. "N..nani?" was all Garrod could
mutter as he saw the huge mobile armor Patulia rise into the sky. recognizing
what is was Jammil almost jump at the sight of it. Now he knew why they wanted
Tifa so badly. "She must be inside it" he thought.
All the mobile suits stopped
and starred in awe at this. . . thing floating there. The suddenly missiles
shot out from it and beam fired from cannons mounted to it's hull. The mobile
suits scattered but most were struck and destroyed. The gundams managed to swiftly
avoid them but couldn't get in any effective attacks. It's armor was very thick
and difficult to get through with their weapons, it was also still sunset, without
the moon in view GX's cannon would be useless. Garrod wasn't about to let that
stop him though he rushed at it with his beam sword but was stopped by a missile
warning shot from the Freeden. "Stop the attack, Tifa is inside it"
Jammil said to the pilots.
Suddenly Patulia began
to change, the long almost submarine looking mobile armor began to split. The
front 75% split down the middle and separated to the sides so that it looked
like it was opening up. Once fully opened a huge cannon was revealed to be in
the center. "Begin" spoke the general. An ominous glow appeared in
the cannon and a few seconds later a massive beam shot out so bright it almost
blinded everyone. When the light dimmed down everyone was shocked to see they
were still alive. The crew of the Freeden rushed to detect where the blast went
and noticed a large explosion a few miles away. "Mission successful, a
rebel base in the eastern city was destroyed" said one of the general's
officers. The general smiled and turned his attention to the remaining Vultures.
"Now get rid of those pests."
