A weapon for hire.
Target: Earth
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter some time, we successfully reached the side of the moon from which we could see the planet and the sun, it was strangely like earth, plenty of sea and green continent, what was different though...
'how can it be so close?!'
-answer, unknown. This moon is at exactly 100.000 km away whether earth moon is 384,400 km. What is troubling is this round number, 100.000 km, it's extremely unlikely to be natural yet no control system seem to be built in the satelit. Even if a system to propel an entire moon would already be hard to believe.
'maybe it only a fortuitous thing, maybe the native metric system give a "moonstruck" distance betwen their moon and planet ahahah.'
-........
'eugh fine. Is there any communications nearby?'
-searching......no communication in range, but i do perceive a network just below the planet atmosphere, it's too alien for a connection from here.
'then let's get closer.' i powered my thruster and launched forward, at my speed it would take days to reach earth but i didn't really care, i could practice 3d flight in the meantime and it's exactly what i did, i literally danced in space pulling move from the gundam franchise one after the others, mainly the ones from kshatriya like the spinning she does when engaging into beam saber fight.
-field of asteroids on the radar.
'uh?' i stabilised myself and focused on the radar, making a cameras lock on and zoom on said asteroids. There was a few big one but nothing that would not be erased in the atmosphere if it reached the planet. But they could be used as practice targets.
'hacks, what about some firing practice?'
-confirmation, good idea. Practice would increase our efficiency if contact with native proved to be violent.
'jeez lets hope not, i want to have some adventure but it seem a bit early. Anyway, let's start with the wrist gun.'
I pointed my arm to one of the asteroid and willed the shot.
*psfiew* the beam was short and focused, it also destroyed the small asteroid i aimed for, the blast wasn't impressive but the feeling of firing a beam from my body, was...
'u-u-ung A-AHHH!!!'
'ah...'
'ah...'
-kshatriya? Your emotional state is very anormal are you alright?
'y-yes, i think i just came a little . It was just soooo good.'
-acknowledged. I think?
'l-lets just keep practicing, it will pass .'
It didn't before the twentieth shot.
'fuu....fuuu.....fuuuu......'
'alright, i'm good.'
-your emotional state is indeed back to normal.
'it's just so cool and rewarding, i always wanted to fire beam and now i can!' i twirled on myself my hands in the air.
'let's get a little serious here, hacks what about some music?'
-very well, any title in particular?
'dream from gundam X please.'
I extended my right arm to the left in front of me before swiping it to the right, my wing flared and and the 40 funnels took off leaving in their wake their trademark line of color, for me it was a green trail since my gundam beam and thruster trails were green.
I willed them to fly in pattern first and shoot in sync, the funnel obliterated my target, most gundam used up to 20 funnel but i had 40 so there was no side the asteroid wasn't shot at. I then let them fly in autonome and they started moving erratically like in the gundam series, it was probably a automatic dodge fonction, still they stayed pointed toward whatever my target was until i directly ordered them to move. then they would reorient themselves to use their main thruster and move faster. I aimed for one of the biggest asteroid and willed no, ordered a full continuous beam barrage, and the 40 beam pierced my target before i ordered the funnels to move into a deadly ballet, slicing the asteroid to pieces.
'now their main functions.'
I aimed at another asteroid and ordered my funnel to use their beam shield, the funnel started spinning on themself and letting out a short beam who formed a spiraling shield in front of them. I then sent them forward at full speed, the asteroid was riddled with hole, i ordered 10 funnel to place themselves around it and activate the beam barriere right through the asteroid, and it cut it clean in half. I was grinning madly.
'yes! This is what i wanted, this is the power to change the world!'
I called the funnel back and pointed two wings forward, four mega particle cannons started building energy.
'moyasu!'(burn!)
I fired at the biggest asteroid. The four beam shot out erasing all asteroid just by passing close to them, the impact was like in the anime, nothing then an explosion of historical proportion as the whole lot of asteroids near my target was wiped out. There was a giant empty sector into the field of asteroid on my radar.
'Sore wa mada owatte inai!'(it's not over yet!)
I grabbed my beam saber, all my beam saber i felt like a demon armed with my six green and wide blade, i charged and slashed, stabbed, dodged. I danced in the field of asteroid. it was like the world moved in slow motion.
-bio sensor activated, all system are enhanced to peak capacity all the frame standard enhancement are on.
'alright!'
I sped up and i lived, i lived like i never lived before, i was flowing from target to target like the reaper my blade slicing clean right through them.
'hacks more power! I want to go faster.'
-very well, switching thruster from minovsky particle to mega particle. Would you like to set a maximum mega particle spent in pourcentage?
'20%! Now let's do this! AHAHAH!'
I sped, up my thruster trail ten time bigger i placed my six swords in front of me and pushed right through the field.
My sword erased everything on contact and protected me from the biggest asteroid while the smaller ones had no chance of ever scratching my gundanium armor let alone damage it.
It was short lived thought, after barely 12 minute of mad dashing i started to slow down and my sword went out.
'already?! Surely 20% would last longer right?'
-correction, you have increased the power output of the beam sabers and did so just after firing four mega particle cannons and using the funnels beam shield, all 40 of them.
'oh, how much energy do we have left?'
-answer, 81% kshatriya.
'how long till we're full again?'
-calculating....if we remain as we are using only the thinking unit we regenerate 1% every minutes if we use the thruster 1% every 3 minutes. For a recharge time while using the thrusters of 20% per hours
'op, just op. Alright i was done anyway. let's resume our way to earth.'
-correction, it isn't earth.
'yeah well until someone tell us its name its earth.'
_______________________________________________________
It took us a fucking week to reach the atmosphere.
'they better have a very good alien first contact party plan program. Or like i like to call it a facppp!'
-kshatriya, i think i can start studying the world wide network of communication from here.
Ignoring hacks blatant attempt to gloss over my idiocrasy,'then do that, maybe will get info on where we are.'
-very well, the network seem to be powered via an unknown energy generated by the planet itself but is focused and guided through tower all over the planet and forming a web. It is not a communication network more like a cage. Only one sector lack any of those tower.
'where?'
-sending the geometric coordinates.
I moved toward the sector who decided to be different from the rest of the world it seem. It was small, a very small patch of land but then again i say that from space.
'i don't suppose we can observe them from here?'
-confirmation, the sensor does not provide a good enough view from the ground to do a proper recording, but picture are possible. Taking a few now.
I observed the pictures and it was weird, nothing except a few cities, all surrounded with wall and connected by giant road themself protected by wall, there was what looked like mobile suit but seeing them from above wasn't helping me study them or their possible strength. What troubled me was the rather peaceful state inside of the cities, those people were probably fighting a defensive war and they were successful doing so, at least from here.
'did you notice anything hacks?'
-confirmation, i observed multiple MS(mobil suit) with trace of hasty repair and while the cities are peaceful they are not thriving either, the population is scarce probably because the resource are too. and there is a lack of capital, i did notice this mountain city but the presence of totally different MS and its overwhelming armement suggest this country has lost its capital before successfully building an efficient defense.
'i don't like that, why are they the only one without tower? Why are they alone against the world? They seem to be a pacific country since they opted for defense instead of counter attack so why would they be targeted so much?'
-answer, unknown, i recommend observing the situation an- kshatriya i detect movement at the surface.
'what kind?'
-the violent kind, a group of MS is closing on one of a walled town. they are the same model from the captured capital.
'...*grin* lets does this, target:earth!'
-acknowledgment, entering teardrop shape for atmospherique entry.
