Mobile Suit Gundam: Rogues

41. Uninvited Guests

"What the hell is that?!" Cameron asks as they watch the screen.

The creature slowly picks itself up and reveals what familiar species it is.

"Harlequins?!! Here?!" Cameron

"What?!" Tenna

"It came from the meteor! They need help out there!!" Tyriel

The sight of the Harlequin freezes Joshua and Rika in place. It fully picks itself up from the crater and immediately sniffs around the ground. Both Joshua and Rika are unable to move due to the overwhelming fear.

"Hey!" Brent

The Harlequin growls, picks its head up and looks to it's left. It would be the last thing that the Harlequin does as a laser like beam slices its neck clean through. The Harlequin stood still for a brief moment until it's head falls clean off and thuds the ground. It's body hits the ground right after. Joshua and Rika look over to see Charlette's younger brother Brent holding a high condence laser mining tool.

"Whoa. This is definitely not for kids." Brent

"No kidding. Thanks man." Joshua

Just then. A multiple number of loud screams from the workers that were on sight sound off in different directions.

"There's more?!" Rika

"We ain't waiting to see the rest of them! Let's go!" Joshua says leading the group.

They make it to the hummer where Joshua gets Rika in the passenger seat. She immediately grabs her device and notices all the missed calls. Brent gets in the back while Joshua gets on the driver's seat.

"Awe hell! 29 missed calls?! 49 messages?! I really gotta stop leaving this thing in here!" Rika

"Ya think?" Joshua

"Um. Can we go please?" Brent

Rika and Joshua look back to see what Brent currently sees. Another Harlequin picks itself up from the crater and immediately sniffs around. A few more Harlequin picks themselves up and start to sniff around as well. In no time at all did all of their heads lock onto the Hummer.

"Like right now!" Brent

"Right now!" Rika

"I got it I got it!" Joshua

Joshua statts the Hummer and immediately takes off toward Nirvana with a small pack of Harlequin on their tail.

"Where are the mobile suit pilots?!" Cameron

"Been trying them but can't get through!" Tyriel

"They could be busy with getting people to safety but keep trying them! We're gonna need all hands on deck!" Tenna

"Yeah! We need to help those three out pronto!" Cameron

"It's not just those three. A whole meteor storm hit further out. If these Harlequin came from that one rock...." Tyriel

".... Oh no." Cameron

"Focus on getting those three help first then we'll worry about what happens next." Tenna

"Well we better figure something out fast cause that Hummer ain't moving fast enough!" Cameron says noticing the Harlequin gaining on Rika, Joshua and Brent.

"Come on! Someone! Anyone of you! Pick up!" Tyriel

"Guys! What's the situation?!" Ramsey asks through the coms.

"Ramsey! Thank God! Where are you?!" Tyriel

"Just made it to my mobile suit! Thought it might help somehow." Ramsey

"However fast you're moving I need you to pick up the pace! We got a Harlequin problem that needs immediate extermination!" Tyriel

"What?!! On Olympia?! Since when?!" Ramsey

"Since the alarms went off! Hurry! Rika, Joshua and Brent needs help like yesterday!" Tyriel

"Guuuuuyys!! Heeeelp!!" Rika says through the coms.

"Dammit Rika!! Keep your communicator with you at ALL times!" Cameron

"I'm sooorryyy!! Heeelp!!" Rika

Tyriel gets a notice on her console that brings a feeling of some relief.

"Don't worry. Your help just deployed." Tyriel says noticing Ramsey's mobile suit fly by.

The Harlequin quickly close the gap and make it within a few feet from the Hummer.

"Guys! I've been trying to fire this thing since we started this cat and mouse chase but it won't charge up! What's wrong with it?!" Brent

"You grabbed the prototype tool! After one use it takes about 10 minutes to recharge!" Joshua

"Prototype?! Why is there a prototype out here when there are state of the art mining tools here?!" Brent

"Well excuse me for recycling mining tools instead of preparing for random attacks from meteor hitch hiking Harlequins!!" Rika

"Hopefully you learned your lesson!" Brent

"Seriously?!!" Rika

One of the Harlequin suddenly leaps forward after the Hummer with it's jaw wide open.

"Kyaaaaa!!" Rika
