Sunrise

Mu turned on the rear camera on his MA, it revealed the open colony wall that was not there just a few minutes ago. He ticked his tongue and bit his lips a bit. "Damn, they got in...but I guess I wont have time to go in as well!" he refocused on the target that was right before his eyes. Pulling the handle hard, he barely avoided the incoming bullets from the green giant in front. The orange MA tilted at a sharp angle and fired back. Mu did not expect such simple attack from a slow linear cannon will decide victory, and as he thought, the Zaku easily went past that. Its mono eye captured its enemy wide and clear, however Mu has one trump card under his sleeves that will most likely catch a majority of his enemies by surprise. On the battlefield, this one moment is enough to decide who survives as well.

"Then hows this?!" the Federation's ace shouted, upon command the four gun barrels quickly detached itself from the unit. Black wires camouflaged in the void, the four remote weapons quickly got into position, gun nozzles extended from them. In a swift moment, the Zaku managed to avoid the attack from one side, however like most pilots, he was not fast enough to avoid all of them. Despite being a MS with higher defense than most weapons the Federation can field, the powerful bullets from the gun barrels quickly munched past its armor and destroyed the unit. "Alright!! Thats one...need to go help inside quick! ...What?"

Mu felt a sudden impulse that swarmed out from his body. As if he saw a spark from his forehead he suddenly sensed someone nearby. What slowly came into his sight range was another MS. Similar to the Zaku he just destroyed, only colored differently. The bright silver armor of the incoming MS reflected off his helmet's screen. "Heh, I knew you were around..." Mu rolled his eyes and tightened his grip around the steer.

Inside the colony, the Federation had a last ditch attempt to combat CRADLE and protect their top secret weapon. The Zakus were clearly heading towards the factory located behind the hill, and they must first cross where Allen and his friends were. Missile turrents begin to rise up from the ground, however such an old fashioned type of defense were no match against a MS. The Federation was completely caught by surprise, they were indeed building something in the factory. A young officer, clearly unexperienced in many ways got off from a truck and quickly ran towards the harbor docks. He had fluffy black hair and small black eyes, not outstanding, however there was only an aura of charisma around him that has yet to grow.

"General! General!!" He shouted, stepping over a debris that blocked his way and jumping over a few metal bars, he charged inside the facility. The entire factory was more or less destroyed in the explosion earlier on. CRADLE's guerilla forces have set the time bomb and planned to destroy the harbor, so the rumored new battleship will be buried in the debris and then CRADLE can jack it. With the gravity blocks destroyed, he suddenly felt he was suck into the air. Kicking off a wall, he gave himself momentum in space with a very thin layer of oxygen. However what he saw was brutal, corpse of the intended crew for one of the Federation's wild card were all killed. "Damn, what a mess! Are we destined to be defeated here?!" he cursed.

Missiles launched from their respective turrents, they fail to hit their target without question. The Zaku took one step forward, the land shook. The Zaku took another step forward, the buildings began to crumble. Taking aim and pulling the trigger, the Federation's defense was not much more sturdier than a piece of paper.

"Quickly run towards the shelters!!" Mr. Brown shouted to the kids, Hayate and Sayla quickly ran towards Allen and Sherry. However what went up must fall down someday. Unlike in space where shells that miss will become space junk, there IS artificial gravity inside a colony. A few shells that did not hit its target crashed down into the house behind them. In an explosion that threw Hayate and Salya tumbling on the ground, Mr. Brown was unable to get away from it. The person that was just laughing and speaking to them, now lays in a puddle of blood.

What the hell, people are dying...disgusting, organs flying out before my eyes...!!

Allen took a step backwards as he covered his mouth. Sherry covered her eyes as well, however after a loud bang from behind. She looked up. Objected begin to fall from a collapsing structure from above. A huge debris came crashing down, going straight for Allen. "Allen-san!! Move away!!" Sherry risked her life this moment, pushing Allen away, but sacrificing herself. Flames begin to burn towards them as they were surrounded in a sea of fire. When Allen came to his senses again, he saw the timid girl that was just smiling under a debris. Half her body was buried, blood flowed out of her forehead like a river...

"Sherry!!" Sayla screamed in horror as she ran up, not caring about the scratch she had from the fall, she immediately, without thinking attempted to help. Hayate went to the other side and tried to lift the huge piece of concrete, however it was too much of a difficult task for any person to do. "Dont just stand there!! Come help too!! ALLEN!!" Sayla screamed again towards her friend, Allen just stared at Sherry half buried alive in the sea of fire. He could not react, but only know of one thing. I have to run!

"...no, we have to get out of here. Or else we will all die here! Come on lets get out of here!!" Allen said something that enraged Sayla. She knows why Sherry would risk her life for him, however she was disappointed when she found out that the man her friend secretly loved for so long was such a coward. Hearing her friend's last words, she could not bear it anymore. Sherry's last words were simple, Allen-san, please live. That was it, another life that became a victim of this pointless war. Sayla's shoulders were out of power from the despair. However this despair suddenly became an force of anger. She stumbled up to Allen, lifted her arm up and slapped him on the face.

"You coward! You call yourself a man like this?!"

She cried with a tear rolling down her cheeks covered with carbon. Allen did not feel the pain, because this was the force that awakened him. Just a few hours ago, they were still alive. Just a minutes ago, they were still enjoying the peace. But now..."Dont fuck around with me. Why must we be all dragged in some shit like this..." a deep anger begin to flow out from Allen's heart. Glaring up to the MS that was the cause of all this tragedy. He turned and ran towards the Federation's factory.

The large hangar doors swung open. The large sheet of rust fell of it's hinged and collapsed onto the ground below, blowing smoke and dust away from it. The cloaked MS walked out of the hangar, tearing off parts of the roof with its back mounted spear is it walked out, causing more debris and dust to fall down around it. The light blue eyes looked around at the surrounding area, noticing thick plumes of black smoke rising up from where the Zaku was located. Xanavi reached to push another button, but Thermidor knocked his hand out of the way with his foot. "What do you think you're doing going for the gun...?" Thermidor coldly asked him. He knew that if Xanavi attacked the Zaku at any range, the cover would be blown, even if it was cloaked they would never make it out with MS outside as well.

"I'm going to shoot it...Do you have a problem with that...?" Xanavi asked back in an equally cold manner. He didn't care about Thermidor's bossy attitude, just doing what he thought would be the right thing. Xanavi defiantly pressed the button, and reached for some object under the cloak. A red arm broke out from underneath, aiming a large, brown and gold musket at the Zaku.

"If you shoot that Mobile Suit, you may well save a small number of people. But what do you think will happen next? The CRADLE soldiers outside this colony will know one of their own was shot down, and will likely send reinforcements to take control of the situation. If you want to escape, you'll be cut off since the only existing exit is the entrance for them. All the effort you put into combat here will be a wasted effort if you pull the trigger..." Thermidor's explanation made sense, and Xanavi knew that he was right with his thinking. He reluctantly lowered the MS arm back underneath the cloak and continued moving towards the hole in the colony.

"Keep going. Only shoot down an enemy if you know they've got you before you can get away. You'll have to use the buildings for cover. Don't mind the people trying to run for shelter, chances are if they're still in the city they're going to die anyways~" Thermidor spoke out like squashing humans was nothing at all. Lilium looked behind her and gritted her teeth, disgusted at the man in black barking out orders.

Allen ran, he hopped over a ring of fire and another. He inched closer to the Federation's factory every step he took. He saw the Zakus are heading over there as well, his instinct told him, there must be something over that made CRADLE want to attack this desolated colony. He heard his friend Hayate shouting behind, questioning him thats not the right way to go and the shelter is the opposite direction. He ignored that however, he was wrong. He was wrong to assume that the waves of war will not wash him away. He was naive, he was a coward. But Allen was not willing to stay this way. Someone died saving him, if that girl was selfish and only cared about herself, he knows that he is the one thats dead in the debris right now.

However fate did not allow him to easily advance. Another explosion was set off from the time bomb earlier. He saw the factory of the Federation, it was indeed something he would never expect to see in his life. The long runways, and trucks carrying parts of MS. The Federation was secretly building their weapons here, but now the cover has been blown, Allen saw everything. Probably it was not just CRADLE's fault, it was also partly their colony's own fault for allowing the Federation to come in. However that was not important.

BOOM!

Another explosion kicked in and blew open the gates to a garage. The powerful shockwave hurled a ball of wind that knocked Allen rolling onto the hard asphalt, he covered his head with his arms as he rolled. However this was the wind that changed his future, and the history of mankind. A binder that was covered with dust bounced in front of him. He lifted his head up and grabbed it, dusting off the rocks and read the title. His eyes widened as he saw the first two words written in red.

V PROJECT: TOP SECRET

"RX-78-2 Gundam, Instruction Manual...this is, a Mobile Suit...? The Federation's...?" Allen was stunned, because he enjoyed playing with machines all these years, he can understand the difficult terminology and designs printed neatly above the rusty paper. Since this is around, then it is possible that the Federation has brought in a MS for construction. His eyeballs rolled from left to right and back, then finally spotted it. On top of a truck with a huge trailer nearly 20 meters wide, there was a huge object placed on top, sloppily covered. The Zakus were approaching, Allen knew what they were looking for. He quickly ran towards his last hope to save everyone. It was a race between him and time, most likely CRADLE is here to steal that MS, and Allen needs to get into it before the cyclops does. Immediately jumping to his feet and kicking off the ground, he ran. He made it before the "enemy" did. Removing the dirty cloth covered, he was relieved that the cockpit was actually open. Hopping in, he fastened the two seat belts that hung down the seat and tightened them. It was his first time in a MS, but probably most people has never even seen one.

Allen flipped open the binder he held on tight to. Quickly running his eyes over the crammed up text, he followed the instructions. The cockpit was exactly like the pages described, clicking a few buttons in order, computer screens lit up in the dark cockpit. "This thing, its ready to move. Learning type computer...amazing, 5 times the power gain...weapons, any weapons?!" he quickly flipped over the pages, slowly the hatch slammed shut. The screen lit open as the camera revealed a cyclops glaring over him. Allen gasped as he found something that can be used. Reaching behind he pulled over an equipment that looked somewhat like a periscope. Closing one eye he took aim, as the red dot scope begin to over lap each other. The screen displayed, Head Vulcan.

The Zaku pilot took a brief glance at the Federation's new MS. He did not know what this MS was and how powerful it is. The order he was given was to retrieve this and immediately pull back. "Well lets be quick and go home." he applied little force on the foot paddle, as the Zaku began to bend down forward. Reaching down with its giant metallic hand, it went for the shoulders of the mysterious Federation MS. However the CRADLE pilot did not know, there was someone inside the unit already.

"Hit that thing!!"

Allen immediately mashed down the red button on top of the control handle. Much to the Zaku's surprise, bullets just as powerful as a Zaku's machine gun began to pour of of the gun nozzles mounted on the head of the Federation's MS. The Zaku slightly tilted its body, as the stream of shells narrowly missed. But it was good enough for the enemy to be forced into distance. Taking this chance, Allen quickly flipped over pages in the instruction manual again. Stomping down on the two paddles under his feet, and pulling on both handles, the white MS slowly, very slowly began to rise. The joints moved smoothly as it finally, stood up straight.

BGM

"Damn Zaku, just watch this!!"

Allen was confident, he did not know what he was doing, but at least he knows that this is not just some sort of random MS made by the Federation. History begins, everything begins. When Gundam rises upon the land...

"Ah, so the Federation finally managed to get their Project V up and running did they? How fortunate for them. Krieger, the situation is under control now. However we can't allow the Federation to know what this mobile suit is!" Thermidor barked another order to Xanavi. The silver cloak moved ever closer to the hole in the colony. People on the ground looked up in wonder at the red armour hidden underneath, but they had to keep moving, if they didn't, they would end up as a stain on the floor by this MS or by the Zaku's.

"The simulation software used to bring me here is the same as what's been used in that white Mobile Suit, correct?" Xanavi asked Thermidor with a plain tone of voice. "Yes....What about it....?" Thermidor asked back. Irritated at the pilot asking too many questions. A sudden force pushed the three inside back against their seats, as the silver cloak seemed to rise off the ground...

"Then would it be reasonable to think that this "Project Musha" is also one of those? This... "RX-78-2 "Gundam""....thing..." Xanavi curiously asked, looking at the control panels and on the screen, highlighting the white MS name in the corner of the screen. If this MS had it's simulator and controls taken from the simulator used on the white MS, it became abundantly clear that this red "Musha" had some relationship with the white one below it. Thermidor's face turned to a short frown, and he said nothing as the silver cloaked continued to push outside the colony...

Standing up straight, bullets continue to pour out of the Gundam's head vulcan. However Allen was inexperienced in battle, as a civilian, it is reasonable to have absolutely zero training in MS combat. Even more so when this one of the Federation's first MS. Soon shells stopped flying out, no matter how many times Allen pressed down the fire button, nothing more came out. "O...out of bullet...? Ah?!" he panicked.

Although the Gundam might be strong, the pilot was a complete noob. Or so the Zaku pilot thought, half of it was true though, or maybe less than half. This time the Zaku grabbed the machine gun rifle hung on the backpack, taking good aim, it pulled the trigger without any further thought. Each and every bullet hit perfectly on the large target that was waiting for someone to shoot it. As it was mentioned, the the pilot was a total newbie in the world of warfare. This was the only part that was true when the Zaku pilot assessed the situation, the Gundam was not only "strong", it was unbelievably strong. The shells that easily destroyed the Federation's Moebius, and smashing past ships, bounced off the Gundam's white armor like cotton, not leaving a scratch.

"Im...impossible! How can this be?!" the CRADLE pilot did not believe his eyes. The Zaku that was feared by so many was could not do a thing against this so-called Gundam. Breaking a cold sweat, the pilot started to feel uneasy. Even if the pilot right now is useless, but what if he gets better and sends this monster up against CRADLE. He will not take any chances, if they cannot obtain the new MS, they are ordered to destroy it. The Zaku pilot changed plans, he saw his partner nearby ready to cover him at anytime. He went up close by, closer each step, attempting to shoot it at point blank. "Ha...ha...no matter how thick your armor might be, if I crush the cockpit...!"

Allen saw the enemy approaching, even until now he was a bit scared of the large echoes a MS footstep would make. Assuming the enemy walking up close with a gun, he somewhat can guess what was coming. However he will not have this MS be his coffin. His life was saved once, in exchange for someone that loved him. He never had the chance to hear those words of warmth, he regretted it. But Allen does not want to lose anything more, he does not want to regret anymore. "Dont come over!! Take this!!" a howl of fury, he pushed the handle hard forward. Like the joystick of a game, he reeled in. The white MS suddenly moved its arm, faster than how the Zaku pilot would have thought. The newly painted grease reduced any worthless friction between the joints, smoothing reaching out and grabbing the gas-mask like face of the cyclops. Pulling in, Allen was not done yet. After that he pushed the handle back out again, and the Gundam still clutching onto the "face" of its enemy, it did not let go even when pushing it back away. Instead the tubes around the "mouth" of the Zaku ripped off as well as its enemy slammed down hard onto the colony base.

"What the, whats that MS. Its way above our imagination. Lets pull back for now, seems like the destruction of it is difficult too. Can you jump?" the other Zaku pilot questioned, his Zaku pulled the other one up, helping it stand up straight again. Main camera damaged, but I can make it with the support ones! Replied the other soldier through the radio. Turning around and igniting its boosters, Allen saw that with alert.

"That guy, hes trying to get away? Weapons, any other weapons?!" muttering while flipping pages and fiddling with buttons on the controls, he managed to find something to use. The screen displayed the Gundam as a design plot, but then the screen focused on the handles erected at 45 degrees behind the MS, attached onto the booster backpack. BEAM SABER. Choosing this weapon from the screen, the Gundam automatically reached behind its back and pulled out an empty handle. A stream of pinkish red energy was set ablaze from the handle. Allen pushed forward, he will not forgive that Zaku, nor the person inside. "Like I'd let you run!!" he clenched his jaws as he felt himself breaking off from gravity. As if a plane taking flight, the Gundam's booster exploded with a massive sound. The heat energy produced from such a powerful impulse can most likely already melt past a Zaku's armor. Jumping over the other MS, the Gundam quickly caught up to to its target. It took Gundam just one jump, while the Zaku took forever and still not reach the hole they made in the wall. Screaming in madness, still in air, Allen punched down the handle. At this moment, the Gundam unleashed its blade of destruction upon its unfortunate victim. One slice, clean and clear decided the victor. The Zaku was guillotined in half from the waist, as its nuclear reactor exploded inside. Causing a huge explosion that made another hole in the colony wall.

Landing down onto the ground, the Gundam did not turn around. Even Allen himself did not believe the power this MS held. One hit, was all it took for this white weapon of destruction to overwhelm its enemy. The Zaku that was feared, the Zaku that the Federation could not think of defeating, and the Zaku that was the hunter, have now became the hunted. "Grr...how dare you!!" Seeing his partner being vaporized in an instant, the other Zaku's pilot now began to burn in rage. Grabbing the Heat Hawk, he decided to engage the Gundam in close combat. Even if the Gundam's Lunar Titanium armor was able to deflect the Zaku's machine gun like cotton, there was no proof that it will come out unscathed against an axe that was burning over a thousand degrees on its blade tip. Jumping onto the white MS, there was little time for Allen to think. He knows if this Zaku explodes as well, the colony will fall apart without question.

"I need to avoid making the Zaku's generator explode...but, in this case!!" Allen's reaction was quick, he swiftly lowered the position of the Gundam, and held the beam saber with both arms, pointing towards the biggest weakness of any mobile weapon the cockpit. Melting through the super hard steel alloy of the Zaku's cockpit, it pierced through its body. Killing the pilot, halting its function, but not exploding.
