"There's not time! We have to send out a machine this instant!"
"Our only decent pilot is injured! She can't go!"
The members of the command center argued back and forth with the red 'emergency' alarm flashing. The
engineer and the
tactician fought angrily while the
commander sat quietly and weighed his options.
"Sumeragi...what about the boys? Are they ready for combat?"
"L-lord Schnizel! They are still in training! Expecting them to go out in a Gunway this soon...it is madness!"
The blond turned to Grell
"Do you think the mecha can be readjusted in this little time, Grell? We must act; I'm sure you are aware."
"Yes, My Lord! Right away!"
With that, Grell contacted the hanger to begin preparations for the sortie of Gunway units 2 and 3. Sumeragi clearly still had doubts but...sending the girl was out of the question. She turned the monitor that displayed the
injured pilot's vitals. With a reluctant bite to her lip, she quickly switched on the paging system to announce the new course of action.
"Ootori Kyouya! Suou Tamaki! Report to the hanger at once! Prepare for level one combat!"
It was done, the boys would have to do their best to not bet slaughtered out there.
When he heard the announcement, Kyouya looked up from his laptop with a face that spelled out pure annoyance. His roommate on the other hand, was quick to scramble to his closet and don his suit.
"Kyouya! It's our turn to *shine*~"
His expression could only be read as an excited smile. That expression did fade the entire way to the hanger where they prepared to launch. They would have to come face to face with mankind's greatest foe.
As the city came into view, so did the
giants that were now tearing it apart. Kyouya blinked in disbelief.
"Y-you can't be serious..."
"KYOUYA! There is no time to stand around!"
Tamaki's robot took off on it's
transport at a gliding pace. But it was not enough for the monstrous creatures, and he was soon thrown aside with little effort. When they turned their attention to the much less enthusiastic pilot, he just sighed.
"What the hell is this..."
Suddenly, with a loud squeeking roar, they were on top of his robot and completely destroying it. Mankind had lost it's final trump card...
The look on Kyouya's face when he awoke was indescribable. That had been ridiculous beyond belief. There was no point in constructing giant Segways for the purpose of robot transport. Especially in comb- wait...why was that the part that was immediately annoying him?
With a sigh, he rolled over and tried to fall back asleep.
