GW Commentary 3: Gundam boys gone Wild?

[Ard Rhys]

Disclaimer: yeah, yeah, yeah, don't own it!
A/N: Warnings of character bashing! All in good fun!

Narrator: Generations ago, with a great dream for the future, humankind departed from planet earth, seeking a life on space colonies. But as time went by, the World Federation brought the colonies under its control, one after another using its overwhelming military power in the name of peace and justice. After Colony, Year 195. The beginning of Operation Meteor. It was a secret operation by a few colonies which tried to stand against the Federation. The operation was to secretly smuggle specially camouflaged combat weapons onto the earth. However, the operation had been detected by Federation leaders...

Heero: Relena...
Asuka: **gleefully**that's two!
Duo: Obviously you are the bad guy here, aren't you? Are you alright, Miss?
Michiru:(as Relena) Of course I am, you braided baka! He's too shy to point the gun he really wants to at me, so he does this instead. Kinda Kinky. I love it!
Lil Washu: I take it you're over the initial shock of seeing your lover?
Michiru: **snuggles chibi Duo plushie** I'll survive.

Five Gundams confirmed aka Gundam boys gone wild!

(At a luxurious mansion)
Trezie: [holding a rifle] So, we are always one step behind them?
Zechs: [on viewscreen] Their true objective is still unclear to us. It's a natural result. If you want to take a chance, the next place you should watch for is the Mediterranean base
Asuka:(as Zechs) Cos I wanna see my Lucy-Poo!.
Trezie: Where all the Leo-types are being built. I'm sure the Federation Armed Forces are doing everything to find the enemy. But maybe it's time for us to give them some help.
Zechs:Sending the Middle East Aries Unit to the area is one option. However, considering the obvious difference in the Mobile Suit's performances, it will be difficult for us to operate with the Federation Armed Forces.
Treize: So you want to go? Your expression is telling me so. [suddenly he fires at a pheasant!] I'll be waiting for good news, Zechs.
ALL: Duh!

(Underwater vessle)
Zechs: Cancer is a state-of-the-art Mobile Suit of the OZ. And it was no match for Gundam.
Soldier 1: It's disappointing... Is it really so dangerous?
Zechs: I've lost five trained men of mine. The loss is too great.
Soldier 1: Then, lieutenant, what should we do?
Zechs: We are going after every one of those Gundams. As for the investigation of the battle, let the Federation Navy take care of it.
Asuka: It's not like they have anything better to do.
Zechs: [thinking] They always do things beyond our imagination... They don't seem to follow the same kind of tactics we use...
LIl Washu: hehe....

(Federation naval hospital)
Doctor: Breath rate: 27. Pulse: 57. Body temperature: 34.5 degrees and rising...
Sally: What is it?
Doctor: I thought he moved.
Sally: Keep monitoring him.

Heero: [thinking] Am I captured...? The third Federation Naval Hospital... District J-B South... 50th floor, Intensive Care Unit...

Doctor: Major Sally, it's a call for you.
Federation soldier: That disk you gave me is impossible to analyse. It can't be opened with any access code I can think of.
Sally: The boy had it. I thought the Federation's main computer is supposed to be able to open any file...
Doctor: So, do you think he is one of the secret agents of the rebels?
Sally: Let's not jump to conclusions. That boy's body is just incredible. Over 200 traces of small broken bones, yet the only visible scar on his body is that gun wound... He had to have had quite an abnormal childhood.
Doctor: Shall we use mind relaxant drugs?
sally: No! I don't want to use such a strong poison on a boy that age.
Asuka: Your funeral...

(Outside hospital)
Duo: [in a telephone booth] That's right. Also, the two almost identical cars are broken. So I want you to have your lunch behind the yellow field. Okay, and I'll help you cut wheat later.
Duo: Now then. It's time to visit the patient.
Lil Washu: **hopefully** And maybe break stuff?

(Onboard aircraft)
Soldier 1: This manoeuvre indicates that they are trying to tell us where they're heading on purpose. This is the one that emerged on the bank of the Yangzi River.
Zechs: It's kind of slow. It may be a type without flying capability.
Soldier 1: But, are there so many different types?
Zechs: Yes. But at the Corsica Base in the Mediterranean, we might well encounter one whose manoeuvres are unclear. And, we may be able to destroy it right at the site. This one by the Yangzi River... It won't show up at the ceremony in Corsica. It's heads straight up to the Federation's doorstep then backs away. It's rather cute as long as it's still visible.
Michiru:(as Wufei) INJUSTICE! I am NOT cute in any way! How dare you insult Nataku in that manner?
Asuka: We really need to hook him up with Amelia.
Lil Washu: I think she's a bit much, even for Wuffie-kun over there.
Soldier 1: Then, Indus Supplement Base should be the next target.
Zechs: Let's hope they can manage it well. That's all we can do for now.


(The Indus Supplement Base)
Wufei: [demolishes base] They're so unprepared. How disappointing! No one to fight.


(Federation naval hospital)
Relena: No visitors? Is his condition that bad?
Nurse: Oh, it was you who brought him here, wasn't it? You wait here a minute, OK?
Sally: I am Major Sally, medical officer. Would you mind telling me about that fine young man?
Relena: That fine young man?
Asuka:**eyes gleaming** He certainly is that!

Doctor: Still no change.

[Heero tries to break free from the restrainst]

[A monitor comes to life in a corner of the room]

Duo: [gesturing for Heero to be quiet] Even a man like you knows when to keep silent. I'm sure you're a well trained soldier like myself. You must be able to read my lips, right? What a guy! You've been awake all this time without changing your pulse or breathing pattern. Impressive. I'd like to ask you some questions. And if you'd like, I'll help you get out of here.

[Relena and Sally take the elevator up to the 50th floor]

Sally: He's such a mysterious boy. He looks barbaric at first glance, yet he seems so noble...
Relena: Is that so? I think he's just as ordinary as any other boy.
Sally: What is your name?
Relena: I am Relena Darlian.
Sally: Darlian? Are you the Vice Foreign Minister's...
Relena: Spoiled daughter...?
Michiru: You got that damned right
Sally: [smiles] Did I upset you somehow?
Relena: No... I'm sorry. Can I see Heero-kun?
Sally: Heero? Is that his name -- Heero?
Relena: Yes, and I'm his classmate and sweetheart!
Asuka: You wish! You have to wait for a few episodes before you can really call yourself that, hon! But right now he's MINE! **evil laugh**
[They enter the room]
Sally: Any new development?
Doctor: Nothing, Major Salieh.
Relena: Heero? This is terrible. Why is he bound like that? Take them off!
Sally: He's too powerful. Frankly, we are afraid of him. That's why we had to do that. If we can get to know him better, we won't have to keep him like that anymore.
Relena: So, he's not a Federation soldier, then...
Sally: Let's go downstairs.

Relena: [a bomb explodes nearby] What's that?
Duo: Get ready, man!
Doctors: Hurry, before he escapes!
Duo: Damn, how does this work?
Heero: Just give me the knife. I can do it.
Duo: Hey, your arm! What a guy!

[Heero cuts himself free from the restraints]

Sally: Are you alright?
Duo: [runs through a corridor with Heero] This way!

[Duo throws a little bomb at the window, which breaks. Both of them jump out the window.]

Duo: [activates ...whatever it is.] Hey, what are you doing? [sees that Heero ignores the parachute] Open the parachute, hurry! Hey! What are you doing? Bastard! Damn, don't waste any more time!
Sally: Did they take off from here?
Relena: Heero! No, Heero!

[Heero seems to wake up by the sound of Relena's voice, and activates the parachute]
Asuka: **growls** of course! That voice could cut glass!
Michiru: **smacks Asuka** Be nice to Relena. Even if she's annoying right now!
Duo: It's too late!

[It is indeed to late, and Heero bounces off a cliff onto the beach where he stands up and brushes the dust off himself.]

Relena: Heero!
Sally: He's alive... Incredible... I just have to wish that he's not our enemy.
Heero: I... What am I doing here?
Duo: I know you'd rather die... But if you couldn't die after all that, you'd better come up with a really good way to kill yourself. I know it may sound corny, but all you can do right now is to trust me.


Commercial break


Radio voice:...in a related topic: The Defence Department announced today that the delayed production of the Leo, the ground-type Mobile Suit, will be back on track by utilizing the Corsica Base facilities. The mass production of the Leo has been delayed due to a massive explosion in the Leo's main factory last month. The cause of the explosion is still under investigation. To take extra precautions, the Specials issued a high-level alert to the Middle-east Division...


(The Corsica base)
Berker: I'm going to see Lt. Zechs. I'll be back in two hours.
Zechs: I guess I made it in time for the ceremony.

Soldier: But, Sir, this is too dangerous!
Bonapa: Stupid fool! This is the best way to show our commitment to both our enemy and the Specials! Who needs help from the damn Specials?! This way, we can tempt the enemy, and they'll emerge right before us!

Narrator: In the past, The Specials' Mobile Suit units made it possible for the Federation to dominate the United Earth Regions. But at the same time, many officers have an open mistrust and resentment toward the Specials. Young officers who are trying to create a new course of history. Colonel Treize Khushrenada... The man who created the Specials. He is also a board member of the Longfeller Foundation, which is supported by aristocrats who value their conservative tradition. Using his financial resources, he has been dedicated to the development of the Mobile Suit. The Specials not only provides Mobile Suits to the Federation Armed Forces, but also possesses its own combat unit. The unit is highly regarded and has obtained a special permit, so that it is allowed to manoeuvre independently in any battle site. But this also accelerated the resentment of the older officers of the Federation Armed Forces.

Bonapa: For them, war is just one of their amusements. They are making trouble all over the place because they want to fight more. There's no need to be afraid. Just stay calm, and we can avoid unnecessary casualties. I'll show the damn Specials that there is a way to achieve victory without spilling blood!

Zechs: So, Commander Bonapa is not here?
Soldier: I'm terribly sorry, Lieutenant!
Zechs: I've heard that he dislikes us, but...
Soldier: I'm terribly sorry!
Zechs: Don't be. We must have offended him somehow in the past.
Berker: [arrives on his motorbike] Lt. Zechs!
Zechs: Berker! Long time no see.
Berker: Lt. Zechs, I'm glad to see you again.
Zechs: Do you have a suit that I can use?

[Zechs and Berker leave]
Berker: I'd like you to see something.

[The TallGeese]


(In a hangar)
Zechs: It's huge.
Asuka: (as Berker) Why thank you!
Berker: It looks like a prototype of all the Mobile Suits. It's larger than Leo in all dimensions. It's an old machine, but... When you sent us the data on Gundam, it reminded me of this one, which the local engineers call a 'museum exhibit'.
Zechs: You're from Corsica too, right?
Berker: I used to be an engineer myself. This machine is the only one having features comparable to those of the Gundam's. I don't know the details of how it was designed. The only thing I know is that, in order to strengthen the structual integrity, the Mobile Suit has to be this large. Engineers in the past decided that there was no need for a stronger body, so they came up with the current standard size of Mobile Suit. Tallgeese -- I believe that was it's name.
Zechs: If we can somehow complete this machine, do you think we can compete with Gundam?
Berker: Please take this with you.
Zechs: You're thinking of dying for me, aren't you?
Berker: You told me once: Fight for the future generation... That is my principal now.
Zechs: You are much braver than myself now. How many can you handle?
Berker: As you told me, I'm always prepared for the maximum number of enemies.
Zechs: There will be four. The other one is missing. That's all I know. Sorry, Berker.
Berker: Don't be, that's good enough. Lt. Zechs...


(Outside, at the Corsica base)
Soldier: Please, don't, Sir!
Bonapa: There won't be any enemy!
Berker: The enemies will come...
Bonapa: The enemies will come? No fool would challenge such a heavy guard!
Zechs: The fool has come.

[Heavyarms suddenly shows up, blasting all his missiles at the base]

Berker: Specials! Confirming enemy attack. Everyone, come with me!
Soldier:But there's only one.
Berker: Never mind! One may be enough...

[Heavyarms demolishes base and MSs]

Soldier: Descend! Hurry, to the ground!
Bonapa: Calm down! Only one enemy has been confirmed so far. Surround it and exterminate it!
Soldier: There's no radar response! Turn on the monitor! I've got it!
Bonapa: I told you not to rely on machines too much!
Asuka: Isn't it kinda funny at how they always underestimate Gundams?
Trowa: In terms of strategy against fewer enemies, it is generally regarded as effective to cut off their retreat, surround them, and lay down intense fire. Surround and exterminate... The enemy commanders decision should be considered a textbook manoeuvre. But... He should have waited to see what his enemy is capable of doing.
Bonapa: How could it be?! What a mess!
Berker: You help the commander's ship retreat! The rest of you, keep attacking the enemy!
Michiru: It's not like that's going to help! You will all die! **maniacal laughter**
MSs: Yes, sir!
Bonapa: You bastard...!
Berker: We shall all be destroyed by the enemy. Make sure to obtain all necessary data from the battle. For the future generation!
Bonapa: Forgive me...
Berker: Get close to it! There's no other way.
MSs: Yes, sir!
Soldier 1: It's all set. ready to go anytime.
Zechs: How's Bonapa doing?
Soldier 1: He seems to be fine. Lt. Zechs, I'll fight with you in the Leo!
Zechs: No. Don't give me such a hard time. To save Tallgeese... I can barely do it at this moment. Sorry, but be patient for now.
Soldier 1: Yes, sir.

[More fighting, until Heavyarms is surrounded and out of ammo]

Soldier: Looks like it's out of bullets! Great! We have a chance!
Berker: Don't assume anything!
Lil Washu: (as Berker) Remember boys, that makes an ass out of u and meSoldier: I'll show you what Specials are capable of! [attacks Heavyarms]
Berker: You fool! Why do you have to make such a mistake now?!
Trowa: [closes eyes] I guess this is my end...?
Soldier: D I E !

[Before the overeager soldier gets his chance, someone attacks him from behind, and his MS explodes]

[A massive number of new MSs show up, and the base is suddenly under heavy fire]

Berker: Come on! Damn it! I want to see their strength, before I die... [in a firm grip of Sandrock's twin blades]
Quatre: I'm sorry.
Zechs: You won't be forgotten.

Maganac: Quatre-sama...
Quatre: Leave him to me.
Maganac: That one seems to be out of bullets.
Quatre: The pilot won't rely on firearms anyway. [Sees Zechs shuttle as it takes off] Damn! That's the... [Heavyarms suddenly attacks him]

[Sandrock and Heavyarms battle it out, using hands and feet...]
Asuka: Awww....they're dancing!
Lil Washu: **glares at Asuka**

Quatre: [smiles] This is wrong. Wrong... [steps out at the hatch of Sandrock] We must stop fighting against each other!

[Trowa steps out of Heavyarms, hands raised, as the background music starts playing]

Quatre: [still smiling] Please stop! I'm the one who came out first to show my trust in you.
ALL: Awww!

(At a ship)
Duo: There it is. It's all yours, now. At least, show me a little appreciation. What are you doing? [sees that Heero is setting his own broken bone, looks sick] I've had enough. Who else treats his own broken bones? Please... I just had my lunch.
Asuka: **Maniacal laughter** That's good ol' Hee-chan for ya!
