The explosions rang out of the night.
"Fuck." I growled out running towards Orga in the mobile worker hanger
"You sure you can get it running old man?" Orga was talking to Pops.
"Yeah I can get it running. you want Kagura or Mika to pilot it right? Old man Nadi said
"Yeah preferably Kagura but if not Mika. we're gonna need all the extra firepower can muster." said Orga
I was confused but realized they were talking about the Gundam powering the base.
"Oi Orga let Mika pilot it I'm gonna head out, but I'll be back trust me I'll explain later! I shouted to Orga while hoping into a mobile worker and heading out before everyone but In a different direction than the battle field.
Orga -pov-
"I'll be back trust me I'll explain later!" shouted Kagura
I was confused on what the hell she was talking about. Kagura doesn't keep secrets normally she's very upfront. She's heading away from the battlefield.
"Shit, we just have to trust her she hasn't let us down yet." Said Orga exasperated "Ride go get Mika." Ordered Orga
"Got it Orga I'll go get Mika" said Ride
Kagura -pov-
"Shit" I said dodging another artillery shell from the Gjallerhorn Fuckers this continued for about 3 kilometers until I they stopped.
"At first I was going to grab her to makes this easy but I noticed some mobile suits back there watching we definitely gonna need more fire power." I said angry and complaining. "I need to hurry the longer I take the more of my stupid little sibling die." I said gritting my teeth
I drove for another 2 kilometers to my secret hideaway. Ran in put in the code and enter the hanger. I ran up to cockpit and hooked myself in. I should note that Paimons cockpit looked a lot different but it was still compatible. I took a deep breath to calm myself being angry won't help. I flipped some switches and booted the os the the word paimon flashed across the screen.
"Let's make those Elitist trash pay Paimon!" I said I swore I could hear a maniacle laughter from the machine, but I ignored it. While vaguely recalling something about the gundams having fully sentient additive AI.
-pov- Lieutenant Crank
I hate this mission. We're just butchering children forced into their circumstances to capture an idealistic girl it disgusts me but orders are orders. The mobile worker forces have been wiped out but not without casualties on the other side. We've been ordered to attack now. The suns up we've been fighting since 3 in the morning. It's been 3 hours Ein and the others are charging the perceived commander it'll be over soon. Sigh poor kids.
Just as ein was about to strike the enemy commander there was a great explosion of dust followed by the sound of metal being crushed. Ein's Graze was slammed into the air and landed near me.
"EIN! Are you alright!" I shouted over coms
"I'm fine lieutenant let's crush these space rats who deny your mercy, Gjallerhorn's Justice." said Ein his fanatical tone.
'Sigh he's too green and proud of Gjallerhorn' I thought
Then suddenly over the coms
"YOU FILTHY HYPOCRITICAL GJALLERHORN GLAZING FUCKERS HOW DARE YOU HURT THEM!!!! I WON'T JUST KILL YOU I'LL BREAK YOU! ONLY THEN WILL YOUR DEATHS SATISFY THEM AND THEN THEY WILL BE QUIET" A maddend voice shouted over the coms. The voice sounded like a young women.
I looked up and saw something absurd. A mobile suit similars in design to the other one. different colors mainly black purple and red. lt was hovering mid air like an angry deity. As if judging the entire battle field it had a strange rifle mounted on its shoulder aimed right at me. The rifle made a ominous screaming noise and there was a bright flash. and everything went black.
Orga -pov- few minutes before the Longinus rail rifle was fired
"Mika, destroy enemy." Said Orga
"Hey Orga what's that!" Shouted Eugene pointing to the horizon.
"What!?" I looked where he was pointing and saw a mobile suit approaching. It was similar to the Barbatos that Mika was piloting, but wasn't sure. I didn't dare get hopeful that it was Kagura yet as I could be an enemy. Then I realized it was flying not using jump jets or anything actually flying. I was starting to panick it was practically on top of us. Then I heard it… a hysteric maddend shout from the coms.
"YOU FILTHY HYPOCRITICAL GJALLERHORN GLAZING FUCKERS HOW DARE YOU HURT THEM!!!! I WON'T JUST KILL YOU I'LL BREAK YOU! ONLY THEN WILL YOUR DEATHS SATISFY THEM AND THEN THEY WILL BE QUIET!" It screamed
I knew then it was Kagura guess this was the secret she was keeping. How ever this was extreme even from her she seemed like she just lost her damn mind. I saw her aim some shoulder mounted rifle of some kind it made a noise that sounded like screaming then a bright flash. Sound vanished for a second followed by a shockwave, wind, and dust. I had to cover my face and brace as suddenly there was thunderous boom.
"HEHEHHAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Kagura's maddend laughter echoed unsettling over the coms. Mika seemed to be unbothered and moved to engage one of the other two Grazes. When the dust cleared the graze that was struck was gone what ever that weapon Kagura just fired it Obliterated it only small pieces of scrap metal left. The other nearby Graze was launched and damaged by the impact, but not dead.
'Fuck Kagura what the hell did you find' I thought as her mad laugh continued to echo over the coms.
Kagura -pov- back before launching
Why is this happening it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts. I was crying blood, my nerves fraying my mind shattering. Just as I felt like I was about to black out I didn't. Then the pain ceased and I heard a psychotic laugh. I saw on the main console in all caps
WORTHY APPROVED
I don't know what happened. Maybe the suits Ai thing. I think it was trying to kill me in some fucked way to test me.
"Whatever that besides the point I'll make this fuckers pay for touching my idiots." I said as I launched Paimon out of my hide away and started moving at high speeds.
When I reached the battle field I saw the shattered and destroyed mobile workers of our forces and something snapped. At the time I didn't know open coms were on. Rage that was the only thing I felt the laughter returned mocking as if saying I was too slow, as if I wasn't enough, as if my choice was wrong. It was then I was sure I wasn't completely crazy it was the machine laughing at me.
'Laugh all you want Paimon. I don't care if my choice is wrong. I don't care if my choices get innocents killed. I don't care if I cease being human and lose my damn mind in the process. I like my brothers will keep moving forward no matter what'
Then another message flashed on the screen.
Engaging ARS System…
Good luck :)
The laughter intensified and I screamed no longer able to control my anger.
"YOU FILTHY HYPOCRITICAL GJALLERHORN GLAZING FUCKERS HOW DARE YOU HURT THEM!!!! I WON'T JUST KILL YOU I'LL BREAK YOU! ONLY THEN WILL YOUR DEATHS SATISFY THEM AND THEN THEY WILL BE QUIET"
Paimon continued to laugh I aimed the shoulder mounted rail rifle the data called Longinus the air was filled with a screaming noise and fired the command graze I shot at evaporated from the impact and the other graze nearby launched quiet a distance.
And still Paimon laughed and at some point I joined in too.
Graze that was launched started retreating, spewing some nonsense about us being ungrateful space trash and death being a mercy. To be fair I'm suprised he didn't die from the shockwave. The laughter quieted not gone or even stopped just faded and my anger faded to. I was shivering not from fear, nor sadness, it was excitement.
"Ah, I guess I'm truly broken now hehehHAHAHAHAHAHA" I laughed when I calmed down I landed near were Mika's Machine was.
Authors note: chapter 4 yo so it wasn't obvious Gundam Paimon isn't normal it's got a way more advanced and malicious Ai but not malicious in a kill all humans way but a sadistic fuck with its pilot and enemies sort of way plus the ARS system isn't exactly a pleasant thing either like a lot of auxiliary Gundam systems ex. Hades system and Zero system. There's other things too plus Kagura basically did overkill as the Longinus is more an anti ship weapon so she did the equivalent of shooting a guy with an anti tank rifle welp rip crank eons a whiney bitch as usual would've killed the whiney glazer bitch off if he wasn't so relevant to the story plus graze win fight.
