(hello again! if you missed the first prelude episode than try to get with me about introducing yourself here! As this episode is a pivotal one! In this episode Kei gets his hands on RX-78-4 to be a wingman to Axxel in th Alex! Enjoy or have fun!)
While it was nice to have a Gundam in the long run...the Academy on the moon was taxing for the both of them. They Axxel had the top bunk while Kei had bottom bunk. Kei would get A minus while Axxel got A plus. Extensive training was required for them to get at least some practice with GM's before using custom suits. Kei was not exactly a rising star...but had his own unique skill set in the field. He had high hopes for Axxel to as he and him were dominating Training exercises known by the the other students as...
MS Grappling.
It was the month of August now...and Kei and Axxel were at it again near the Von Braun Space Dock. Kei was of course on par with Axxel... but the two were actually very competitive when it came to locking on to each other. For some reason though...the 4th generation of Gundam RX was not suiting him well...it was a good suit...but it needed a touch of something else...
"I've got you now Turner..." he said under his breath.
Beam rifle lock was surely his bane in classes...he had different feelings while in the heat of battle. While trying to lock on to Axxel, however, it was always the fact that he had extra armor that got him pumping for more, he had to lock on to him 3 times extra. This was more advanced than a GM battle. The difference was that his Gundam needed only 2 locks.
kei gained speed while trying to get his lock, he was almost there until...the chase suddenly took a turn...and Axxel stopped his engines on full. Causing Kei to lose sight of him for a moment.
"Damn it!"

"Kei stop there's something ahead of us". -Axxell switched to live rounds knowing that a unidwntified mobile suit was heading their way.- "Kei switch to libe rounds and get your butt back here".

Kei turned his Gundam camera to find two Rick Dom's tailing a shuttle. he noticed something on his broadcast signal too...
"Oh boy...Commander Quas is gonna freak. Honda do you copy? Open the bay doors! For this shuttle entering our space!"
Honda the black haired and plump mechanic was sitting under a workstation at the comm tower working on some arrays. "Astumei, give me a good reason why I should do that..."
"Listen for yourself." said Kei.
//This is Gale Burnan. I am a Zeon Remnant Defector...please allow me to dock at Von Braun and claim amnesty.//
Honda hit his head under the workstation. That was not good news. "Shit! Keep talking I'm opening doors now! Should I call for backup?"
"Actually..." he said with fear as the numbers grew more along with several ships. "The idea did cross my mind..."
In the crowd of mobile suits a little ways away from the shuttle pursuers...were two Gelgoog types. One was speaking to them.
"Attention enemy suits...allow us to capture this vessel or we will fire upon you!" said Guth, one of the pilots.
"Curse you Burnan...your ass is mine when i get my hands on you...wait....those are..." said the other pilot, Landin, adjusting his camera to the two Gundam Units...
Kei was still unsure what to do as far as a Zeon Defector was concerned...he thought maybe it was their problem and not the Feds...Honda was telling him to stand down. "Look I know what you thinking guys, but you don't have enough rounds to cut it. Sand down until help arrives and-"
Kei did not wait he immediately engaged the two pursuing the shuttle as they were getting too close.

Axxell charged in the Alex and stood behind the shuttle shooting at one of the gelgoogs.- "Kei go alert the other gms fast i'll try to hold them off". -Axxell knew that his gundam wasn't gonna make it and wanted his friend to flee giving his friend a chance.-

The two Zaku's were easily dealt with as Kei had the neccessary rounds to do so. He had shot both of them down...however in the next few moments of trying to take care of shuttle... he already knew that NT1 was not yet equipped with its full armor set. He tried to talk to this Gale person...
"Hey, Get to the bay! I have to help my friend!" he said with urgency.
"My engines are shot! Let me on to your suit!" said Gale.
Atsumei was skeptical about this but allowed him to exit his ship whilst the Alex was fighting. As soon as Burnan got into the RX...all hell broke loose.
"You White Devil scum..." said Landin in his Gelgoog Jager as he dodged most of Alex's attacks. Landin fired a bit with his machine cannon on the Alex as a distraction to get to the RX. Landin pulled out his beam saber...as did Kei at hte last second to defend himself in a beam saber clash. "I'll be damned if they make any more of you!"
Meanwhile Guth who did not approve of Landin's sudden emotional actions decided to follow up in order to keep the pace. He began to attack the alex with his beam rifle.

Axxell knew that the Alex was not going to make it.- "I'll destroy the Alex if I have to in order to keep it from enemy hands". -Axxell then saw one of the gelgoogs as it targeted the Alex's backpack. Axxell tried to manuever away from the shot but it damged the Alex's backpack and left arm.- "I won't be able to keep up, I might have to abandon the Al".-Just then the gelgoog destroyed the head camera and vulcans and heavily destroyed the right arm and left leg, Axxell radioed to Kei.- "Alex isn't going to make it back to the dock. I might have to abandon it".

"But if you abandon the Alex, you'll be a sitting duck!" he says as the clash continued. The jager managed to cut a part of his v fin and damage a shoulder. He was still trying to keep defending.
"Use your vulcans to put some distance." said Burnan
"HUh?"
"Just do it!" he yelled.
Kei did as he said and targeted the jager with his vulcans. In fact jager was damaged a bit by the attack when it got too close in the next clash. When it finally backed off Kei went for Axxel. Burnan then gave another order. "Target the next Gelgoog with your beam rifle. You'll probably lose a bit of armor cause he's a good shot but don't worry. Just keep going for you friend and push his main chest section to your dock."
Kei chose his next shots carefully but noticed that this Burnan fellow was making good decisions...to good to be in fact. He managed to lose the arm, the rifle, and even a leg trying to do exactly as he said.
Meanwhile in the jager cockpit..."Fast little one...but your all out of options now...Hm?" said Landin as he notices more blips on his radar. More GM suits had come to assist.
"Its over Landin...they have Burnan. Pull back." said Guth in disappointment.
"You win this time White Devils...but I'll be back." he said with anger.
As Kei moved into the docking bay, Honda was preparing for their rough landing. Some of the mechanics were not acting fast enough. "You idiots put up the safety nets! Try to prepare for the mobile suits at least getting back! I don't care if its just two damaged units that can be jettisoned just do it!
The mechanics were on time...slightly...as the chest section took a rough landing with a loud screech of metal. THe RX tripped on its one leg but managed to keep itself up. with the one arm, kneeling a bit. Teams quickly tened to the live damages of fire and sparks. Kei and Burnan exited the RX as the docking bay doors closed and the bay filled with air. He went to go check on Axxel. He tried opening the hatch manually.

Axxell was unconscious as the Alex's hatch was opened, but what was left of the Alex was a shoulder a damaged head and torso and a damaged thigh.- "What happened?". -Axxell climbed out and asked Kei as he stared at his damaged mobile suit.- "Too damaged to be repaired right burnam? How's my dad?". -Axxell looked at burnam and looked at his gundam again.-

"Commander on deck, Axxel! Stand at attention!" he said hurriedly. He wanted to tend to him but orders were orders.
As a matter of fact, the Commander Quas and a businessman in blue just arrived on the lift down...though the one in blue was very shocked.
"Nice work cadets, it was bit foolhardy but nice...now for trouble...Treest you have the floor." said the blonde fellow Quas.
"You idiots! Look what you have done to the mascot mantle pieces for the Anaheim Expo! The bidders want to see a Gundam not a wrecked gundam you fools!" said the brown haired man, Treest.
"Mr. Treest, the Gundam is a symbol of the Federation! We were supposed to fight the remnants!" said kei.
"Quiet, Atusmei! If I had a decent penny in my pocket I'd have you thrown in the brig! Yet, it was at the request of someone's 'father' that your asses would be the proud alumni presented at the Expo!" said Treest
"Uh, Come again? Kei asked in confusion.
"I'm afraid its true Kei, you and Axxel are attending a the Expo Ball...all the students and highest authorities will be there. So try not to embarrass yourselves any more..." said Quas with disappointment.
"But we're pilots Commander! Not show-ponies!" Kei retorted
"Save your complaints, you stupid scrapper pilot! You better shape up for that Ball or your career will be down the drain! Capiche?" said Treest.
"Yes Mr. Treest but what about the Gundams." Kei said but was ignored as Treest was already tending to the subject...Burnan was looking at both Gundams with a glint of prospect in his eye.
"You, Blondie! You have a good explanation as to why you needed your ass saved?" yelled Treest.
"You sure have a big mouth don't you..." said Gale.
"How dare you!" retorted Treest.
As the the two men argued Kei went over to Axxel and sighed. "I've only met him once...but Mr. Treest is a monster when it comes to selling MS. Geez, can't he give us a break once and a while? I guess you and me are goin to a ball...trouble is I can't dance."

Axxell was intrigued by Mr. Treest.- "Mr. Treest the Alex and Rx wasn't for sale. I have two gundams that are for sale though". -Axxell showed Mr. Treest the Rx 78-5 blue and red version.- "Two top notched machines. Each at 500,000". -Axxell knew Mr. Treest was going to buy them. Axxell then looked at Kei.*- "Alexis will teach you how, oh and burnan my dad said you had new plans in store and wanted you to get them going". -Axxell gave burnan the letter.-

Treest stopped for a moment...he turned to Axxel with an inquisitive look. "Did you say you had...2 more units...and let me get this straight...they are both 5th generation?"
Burnan was looking at the orders."Well then, I see your father was right now to give them to me at side 6...I have my own touches to give them...but these plans should work. I'm going to need your best mechanic."
"What plans? What the hell is going on here Quas?" said Treest.
"The units are being remodeled." said Quas.
"Without me knowing? What is this?" asked Treest.
"I looked up Mr. Burnan's file here. He's a Zeon MS designer. Mr. Burnan if you contact Mr' Saotori...he will help you repair the suits." said Quas.
"I don't know whether to be happy or angry but I guess the top brass wants Anaheim to show off its best equipment...excuse me while I take this into consideration..." he said walking away and taking the lift up.
Kei went over to Burnan. "Mr Burnan..."
"Call me Gale Cadet...and by the way, nice reaction time..." said Gale as he still inspected the suits.
"Uh thanks...." siad Kei with less enthusiasm
"No its me who should be thanking you guys...you saved my life." he said with a smile. "And Axxel your fater says hello along with a suit and tie...to bad those didn't make it."

Axxell laughed.- "They made it just is I don't have a date yet to the ball". -Axxell turned to Mr. Treest.- "yes Treest you have two fifth gen gundams worth selling, but the new gundams will only be mascotts until after the ball". -Axxell knew what he was getting into but had to do it to save the Alex and the Rx for himself and Kei.- "Burnan I'm going to help with my mobile suit and same with kei".

"You guys...we might be dealing with something big as far as those Zeon are concerned..." Kei said oddly.
"I agree..." said Gale."We should get started on these suits right away Turner."
"Zeon Remnants are just remnants, Mr gale... i don't see the problem..." said Honda as he ahad just arrived and was looking at the suits.
"Yeah but it felt like..."
"Like the Gundam was hated? Of course it is. Its the Gundama after all. I made suits that went to crumble at its feet. Not that it matters anymore." said Gale.
"It true? You really are a Zeon MS Designer?
"Correctomundo." said Gale.
"Alright you two...get the nurse to look at you and then get some rest...if you cadets want to help with your units it will be on your own time. You have 3 days till the ball and 4 till the suit demonstration...Don't screw this up." Said Quas as he left for the lift as well.
