Born To Be Wild
song by Steppenwolf Lyrics are in italics
Two young women, one clad in a black jumpsuit the other in deep brown, approached the closed doors of an underground hangar in what remained of the illustrious Carlsbad Caverns. Under each woman's arm rested what appeared to be a motorcycle helmet, but for the fact there were hoses attatched.
Slowly the doors opened, revealing the hangar's treasure -- two new Gundams.
~~~
Once the girls were settled in their respective gundams, a countdown began.
"Hey, Doc." one of the girls interrupted.
"Yes, Pilot Devil." one of the doctors appeared on the vidscreen, his mushroom-style hair covering most of his face.
"Mind if I play some music for this?" The doctor looked exasperated, then thoughful.
"Go ahead, Pilot Devil." He shut off the link and, turning to his collegues, stated, "She reminds me of Pilot 02."
Pilot Devil flipped a switch, and a song started blaring.
Get your motor runnin
The girls started up their gundams, preparing for liftoff.
Head out on that highway
The hangar doors opened to the surface, and the Mobile Suits lifted off.
Lookin' for adventure
The Gundams rose slowly out of the earth, taking a moment to gather their bearings.
And whatever comes our way
The girls looked to the sky, hands hovering near throttles.
Yeah, God I'm gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Pulling on the throttles of the Gundams, the girls headed for the sky, working their way upwards.
Find all of the guns and bombs and
Explode into space
Suddenly, all they could see were the stars of space.
And Mobile Dolls.
I like smoke and lightnin'
Fallyn opened up her vidscreen to look at Cherish, a wide and mischevious smirk gracing her features.
Heavy metal thunder
Cherish grinned back at her sister, a vicious glint in her emerald eyes.
Racin' with the wind
"Shall we, Cheri?" Cherish nodded and looked a little fiercer.
And this feelin' that I'm under
"Aye, we shall, Fally."
Yeah, God I'm gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
The gundams moved so they were back to back as the MD surrounded them.
Find all of the guns and bombs and
Explode into space
Slowly, deliberately, the girls unsheathed their weapons. Fallyn drew out her sickle, Cherish brandished her flamethrower.
And like a true nature's child
Suddenly, the girls attacked.
We were born, born to be wild
Fallyn's sickle sliced through MD like a hot knife through butter. She let out a maniacal cackle as the maimed MD exploded brilliantly. She turned and sliced through more Virgos.
I can fly so high, I'm never gonna die
Cherish's flamethrower burnt Leos so badly the electrical systems shorted out and caused the MD to explode. She giggled evilly as she turned to take on more.
Born to be wild
But as the girls turned, the only faced each other. All the MD were destroyed.
"Hey, Fally, we should get back or the Docs'll have our hides." Fallyn nodded and they headed back to Earth.
Born to be wild
The girls flew, hidden, back to the hangar. Slowly, they touched down.
As the last chord of the guitar solo played, the Gundams were turned off. As soon as the hatches were opened, Fallyn leapt lithely and gracefully to the floor. Cherish scurried gracefully down her gundam.
The two girls came to immediate attention as one of the Doctors approached them, his mechanical eyes looking menacing.
"Pilot Devil, Pilot Angel. We have been picking up some debris entering the atmosphere, burning up before it can land of course. It is MD remains." The girls giggled and looked at each other, smirking.
Their hands landed in a high five. They had passed the test.
