“DAMN IT!”
Shinn Asuka, the black-haired, red-eyed, 18 year old pilot of the ZGMF-X42S Destiny was NOT in a good mood. He had gone out for a routine patrol and was supposed to have a date with Luna afterwards, but these DAMN terrorists just had to come along for a little bit of terrorizing. And the same DAMN terrorists attacked the hangar before anything else, closing it off. And, because of that, Kira wasn’t out here to help with his godly Strike Freedom and its little DRAGOON bits that fly around and blow the crap out of things for you. It was just Shinn and the Destiny against about 20 Windams and a Zamza-Zah. Now, Shinn was every bit a pilot as Kira was (well, close, anyway), and the Destiny was Strike Freedom’s equal in power. 20 mobile suits and 1 big mobile armor Shinn could handle. With ease.
“BUT THEY’VE GOT A DAMN NUKE!!!”
Somehow, the terrorists had landed themselves a nuclear missile, and it was approaching the colony, fast. Shinn was forced to ignore the remaining enemies and charge the missile with Destiny’s Palm Cannons, as all the other weapons (save the Hyper Cannon, but that was too slow) had been destroyed. Destiny took heavy damage during the charge, but managed to reach the missile intact, with its hand reaching out to destroy the bomb before it could reach the colony.
But as Shinn pulled the trigger, the world shifted. Suddenly, the Destiny was above a beautiful island at sunrise, and there was a mansion with gates bigger than the heavily damaged mech.
“W-What the hell!?”
Realizing that Destiny was moving too fast and was too damaged to try and land, Shinn tried to eject, but he was too late. The Destiny crashed in front of the mansion, with its left leg breaking off at impact. The right one had been lost in the battle beforehand. The Destiny, which was now merely a torso, slid along the ground until it came to a stop directly in front of the mansion’s gates. The ejection mechanism activated a little too late, and the cockpit hatch on Destiny’s chest opened and Shinn was flung through the gates, landing on the ground in front of a grand fountain.
He was going to feel that one tomorrow. And SOMETHING was broken, for sure. But, despite the pain he was feeling everywhere in his body, and despite the horrible music playing from… somewhere, all he could think was…
“What… the… hell… just… happened…”
