Chapter IX

"Where the hell are those two?" shouted Miko at Vin as they continued to pepper down the area outside the barracks with fire.

"I don't know they said they'd be out of here as quick as they could!" he replied as he let loose with some more rounds from his Browning Automatic Rifle.

"Well, they better hurry! I don't how much longer we can hold them off." interjected Jack as he dropped the clip out of his Thompson and slammed another in. As he finished sliding back the loading mechanism, the Germans began wheeling out an enormous 50 mm anti-infantry cannon. "Fuck!" yelled Jack as the Germans began placing a clip in the magazine. They pulled back the charging lever and brought the piece into sight, but just as they were about to fire, bursts of machine-fire cut down members of the crew. Though the resistance fighters they couldn't see it, their new friends had just emerged from the compound and were opening with schmeisser fire. Ben pulled out a potato-masher grenade from his belt, unscrewed the fuse and sent it hurling at the soldiers. It exploded, covering the area in smoke just long enough for the three of them to charge down the center and behind the wall of safety presented by the two trucks. "Oh, am I glad to see you!" shouted Jack to Yzak. "Who are these two?"

"This is Dearka and Ben."

"Oh, so you're the famous Dearka! Nice to meet you!" Jack reached out and shooki hands with the golden-blonde boy. "Where the fuck is Charley?!"

"No time to explain. Listen, we need to get into those barracks!"

"Are you crazy?!"

"The only way to get to the warehouse where Dearka's gundam is stored is through there!" shouted Ben.

"His gundam is in there!?"

"Yeah, you think you can get us in?!"

"Why not?! We're already in deep shit! Alright, Vin, you and Miko cover them, they need to get into the barracks!" Vin nodded and then nudged the woman standing next to him. The two rose from behind the truck and opened fire with a barrage of pistol and BAR fire. Yzak, Dearka, and Ben ducked down and ran out from behind the truck, coming to stop at the first sandbag parapet. Ben lifted his head slightly, but then ducked down as a rifle round grazed the top of the sandbag. He and Dearka lifted their machine-pistols and let loss with a few rounds, but it was Vin's BAR that ultimately cleared the way. The three ran up, standing on either side of the door to the barracks. Another soldier ran out and Yzak clubbed him in the face with his schmeisser, sending him to the ground. He then ducked in and fired a burst to clear anything else. The two Gundam pilots followed closely behind Ben as the three entered the bunk room, which was now empty. "Alright, the warehouse is out there." said Zorin as pointed to another door on the opposite end of the room. The three walked slowly to the other end of the room, and Zorin, edged the door open cautiously.

"Yeah, Hibiki's getting ready to move." The door led to a large open area, much like a loading dock. On the end opposite the barracks was a large building with a retracted steel garage door. Several trucks were driving out of the open door, and to his left, Hibiki saw a Kubelwagen armed with an MG-42 machinegun and a pair of soldiers guarding it. He pulled his head back and turned to the two younger soldiers. "Alright, there are two guards out there. I'll lure them in, and you wait by the door for them."

"Gotcha."

"Right."

Zorin smoothed his hair and placed his weapon on a nearby cot. He then pulled the wrinkles out of his uniform and brushed himself off before proceeding out the door.

"You two!" he shouted. The two guards turned their heads in his direction. "What are you doing there! Get out here! We need help!"

Without hesitation, the two followed him into the doorway. The one on Dearka's side received a hard punch to the face, followed by low-spin kick while Yzak's got a knee to the stomach, finished by a jumping front kick to the head. "Satisfactory work." said Zorin sarcastically.

"Shut the fuck up. At least we got it done." replied Dearka.

"Let's go." The trio ran out the door and into the German automobile. Zorin took the wheel while Yzak sat up front and Dearka took charge of the mounted machinegun. The engine roared to life and Zorin sped into the warehouse. Guns began to blaze as the tiny military vehicle shot past rows of armed guards. "There she is!" shouted Dearka joyously as he beheld his beloved Buster gundam, which was resting on a raised platform. His words, however, were obscured by the gunfire.

Ulen stood on a large raised platform in the room where the generator was housed. He held his hands behind his back and was dictating maxims to his followers.

"Comrades, today begins a new era in the history of the human race. Never before has a creation as magnificent and powerful as ours ever graced the world. Our patience and perseverance has led to this moment. For too long have we lived under the tyranny of our own mistakes, but now all of that shall change. History will now bend to our will and we will mold time itself as we see fit. We have earned the sacred right to choose the manner in which time flows. Comrades, we are going home."

Each of the scientists rendered a stiff-armed fascist salute. Hibiki stood silent for a moment, gazing over all his men before he stepped down from the platform. "Begin activation of phase one."

Dearka blazed away with the MG-42 as the Kubelwagen continued to screech almost full speed down the floor of the warehouse. Likewise, Yzak emptied rounds from his schmeisser while Zorin concentrated on maneuvering through the various obstacles in front of him. "There's a control panel to lower the platform in the office at the corner!" He removed his hand momentarily to point to a small room in the corner that they were rapidly approaching. "Yzak, can you drive!?"

"Not well!"

"Well that makes it even better. Take the wheel!" Zorin opened his door and slipped out rolling as he hit the ground. Yzak immediately dropped his weapon and leaned over to take control of the vehicle.

A guard ran to Ben, but was quickly dispatched by a swift chop kick and spin kick to the head. Zorin then turned to another oncoming assailant, an engineer swinging a wrench. He ducked as the would-be attacker swung the at his head, then delivered a hard punch to the stomach followed by a knee to the face. He then pulled out his pistol and dropped another pair of guards that were running to his position. When the unpleasant business was done with, Zorin ran to the corner office he had been speaking of, shoulder-jerking his way through the door. A lone engineer stood in the office, and upon seeing Zorin, reached for his own pistol. He was too slow as the Zaft agent let out a single round. Ben walked forward to a small control panel, pressed a few buttons then pulled a tiny lever. Soon, the platform began to slowly lower.

"He did it!" shouted Dearka.

Yzak waited until the platform had finally retracted until slowly breaking. The two of them jumped out of the car and raced forward, but were halted as more guards began to fire on them from the catwalks across the room. Yzak ran back to the car to try and make use of the machine-gun, but found to his dismay it was out of ammo. "Shit!" He reached into the front seat to recover his schmeisser when a sudden explosion ripped through catwalk, sending each of the guards flying off in different direction.

"Must be Zorin's handy work!" shouted Dearka as Yzak ran back to his friend. The two of them mounted the gundam and Dearka hopped into the now-open cockpit. Yzak grabbed hold of one of the rails on the open door and leaned his head inside

"Dearka, we still have to go recover my gundam."

"Where the fuck is it?"

"There's forest outside Brooklyn. It's about five miles in." The tanned pilot nodded and continued with his preparations while Yzak eased his way in, making sure not to squash his friend. The cockpit closed, and gundam-pilot proceeded to activate the machine. "Please, please, please..." he muttered quietly over and over again. Slowly, the various lights on all the control panels began to come life. The gundam's operating system activated and Dearka began to take control of his weapon. "Hold!" The gundam slowly rose from the platform. The torso lifted up as the arm retracted and the hand clenched into a fist. Then, with a thunderous roar, it smashed through the ceiling of the warehouse. The megalithic machine stood up and began to rend the metal of the ceiling completely open.

"I hope she can still fly." said Dearka as he began to activate the thrusters. They stalled at first, but exploded to life as the pilot pushed them up to full power. The gundam leaped from the warehouse and into the air, finally free of Hibiki's dreaded facility.

"Phase one activated sir. The generator should be fully operational in forty minutes."

"Excellent." said Hibiki smiling.

"Sir, the radar range is picking up a mobile suit." said one of the lab-coat clad scientists.

"What?! That's impossible, all the suits are at the front lines."

"It must be the gundam sir." replied Hibiki's comrade. The doctor placed his hand over his chin and remained silent for a several seconds. "Deploy the new squadron. If we can't destroy them, we can at least stall for long enough."
