Mobile Suit Gundam: Lost Luminity
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterJohn screamed, but he soon had to shut his mouth off to not awake a whole town.
“Who… who is that?” he asked himself.
“Hello…” he waved back, “Who… are you?”
“It’s me, Izzy! Izzy Moonbow! Don’t you remember me?”
“Izzy Moonbow?” John mumbled. He actually heard this name before, but couldn’t remember when, or where.
Tons of questions suddenly emerge in his head. Everything looks strangely familiar at first. Then, a pony comes and claims that she has known him for a long time.
“Oh… So glad to see you again after all these years!” she said with a sweet voice, “Where have you’ve been?”
“Wh… What?”
“Uh… Hello, H…”
“Sorry, sorry Izzy”, John said, “but… I have to return to the bar. Nice to meet you though!”
“Nice to see you again, old friend!”
“Hey John!” Cruz shouted “Come back to the bar, quick!”
…
On the way back to the base, John starts thinking about the strange encounter with a strange yet familiar pony. It turns out that there is a truck that leaves for Maretime Base sooner than it should, so the whole gang has to get on it or they would be late for the personnel count before the sleep.
“You should come back there since you haven’t paid him a drink. That bar is a must visit.”
“Yeah… I guess.”
Just after the truck entered the main gate, the pony who drove it opened the container’s door to reveal all four men at the back of the truck. They were taken into custody almost immediately.
“It turns out we have to die together!” John mumbled
…
“Quick! This way!” Zipp shouted to her younger sister. Behind them is the Zephyr Heights’s royal guard chasing them.
With the support of the military, a businessman, who has previously come to Zyphere Heights by a research vessel , decides to secretly capture and imprison the ruler, Queen Haven, forcing her to sign a deal so that he can use the city’s mine. The royal sisters decided that they have to show the whole Equestria what really happened. The business man can’t let just two ponies ruin his whole plan, so while calling the Heimdall Unit, the one John is stationed at, he ordered the military to chase off the sisters.
This is how the conflict started.
Zipp Storm and Pipp Petals continuously glided across the hall, towards the city’s main train station, trying to widen the distance between them and the guards.
“Princess Zipp, Princess Pipp!” Ensign Thunder shouted when he saw the sisters “Over here!”
They ran to him, seeing some other guards who decided to disobey their commander to remain loyal to their queen and princesses. At the moment, they are also trying to flee their commander and comrades.
“Come to the station! There is a military train that will transport us to Briddlewood. They are the last loyalists!”
“Good! You will lead the way!” shouted Zipp.
…
Another tall guy punches John in the face during custody.
“You jerk! How many times I have to tell you: DO NOT LEAVE THE BASE!”
“Sir… Sir… Let me explain! Never in my mind do I think of sneaking out! Violating the military code is never who I am. It was…”
“Johann and his gang forced you to do it? Never! Those are good kids! They never violate the military code, let alone do as much as you. And I haven’t punished you because you punched him in the face!”
The tall guy, which John knows is Johann’s cousin, punches him when just finished the line.
Sometimes, it is disturbing to know that the Earth Federation often has family members of the same noble family serving in the military. Almost everyone on Maretime Bay Avenger knows that the tall guy named Horner, who is also the mobile suit team Alpha’s commander, is Johann’s cousin. John knows, but since he hates injustice with a passion, he often has punishment because of what Johann commits, and sometimes, his bullying habit.
“Now, just say that you do it by choice” Horner said “Yes I know, you will be executed anyway, but I will let ya survive until we get back to Earth, okay?”
“Sorry… Sir…” John answered while his mouth was bleeding “But… they… They really force me to do that!”
“‘They really force me to do that’? What an answer! I know you sneak on to that truck yourself! Now, if you just admit that you do just that, I will let you be shot at when we finally go back to our mother Earth. And maybe you could use your genius ability to flee out of the shooting range before the executor even notices, what do you think!”
Suddenly, there is the sound of an explosion outside, rumbling their room where John and Horner are staying in. Horner continued his speech without even noticing.
“Be a man, dude! He is right when he says just throw those little pony pictures into the trash can. Those little girl stuff just makes men become weak just as bad as missing your family too much! Oh! And never cry in front of people too! I know you have a harsh life back on Side 2, but you have to get over it!”
“What do these lectures even mean…”
The siren on board the ship goes off. There are voices warning the personnel to get to the battle station and ready for combat.
“What? Those terrorists come here? How can they...”
“I think you should... let me go now. The Unicorn Alpha...”
“Only you can pilot it now, yeah yeah I know! Curse those engineers! They only come here next month!”
...
“Ha! So that is the Heimdall base? Surprisingly under-armed I see!” Lieutenant Sprout said from his cockpit.
Four mobile suit with base jabber quickly closing up to Maretime Base. They were surprise to see there are almost no response when they fire their first shot towards Maretime Bay Avenger. They could saw that their enemy’s suits are slowly come out of her hangar.
“Okay! Rob and Sparkling Joy, wait for my order!” Sprout commanding from the Heavy Dijeh “Hiram! You and I will make sure those defenders don’t get too close to Rob and Joy while they try to capture the test suit.”
“Yes Sir!” they responded.
...
John quickly ran to the hangar with all his gear on. Despite his lips still bleeding and a bruise on his left eye, he still managed to ignore them and climbed to the Unicorn’s cockpit.
“You ready dude?” Ensign Ronald asked “You seem to have some little injuries on your face. You just got into a fight or…”
“Believe it or not, I was captured because I sneaked out of the base. I will told you the rest of the story when we come back.”
…
Another shot hit the base. Smoke and fire had taken over John’s view when he finally got out of the hangar. Tons of questions emerged from his mind when he saw the damage the enemy caused for the depot base.
“How can those terrorists get the suits? Are they from Briddlewood?” he mumbled while making the Unicorn Alpha slowly walk out of the hangar.
“Hey John, remember that this is your first time you encounter those terrorists! Just stay behind the line until one of them decides to attack you… Or the town right there!”
Lieutenant Horner said while he made his Jesta come out of the base. From their view, they could see 2 base jabbers advancing.
“Just another version of Mafty, huh?” he mumbled.
Mafty was an armed group that was labeled as terrorists by the Federation back on Earth. Their goal was to make the Federation Government collapse and force everyone on Earth into space.
But this “terrorist” group is different. Their motive was still unknown, yet they could see that the “terrorist” certainly didn't like Heimdall’s present.
