Chapter 6

White sat inside the cockpit of the Gundam, his brow furrowed with sweat as he grappled with the controls. Warning alarms blared, and the cockpit filled with the ominous glow of blinking red lights. His left hand clenched the controls while he glanced at the damaged laser cannon, now rendered useless. He was running out of options.

"You can't beat us, White. Surrender peacefully and hand over the Gundam. We won't harm you," pleaded troop 1, attempting to negotiate.

White's eyes narrowed with determination. "My life means nothing if the organization gets hold of the Gundam again. They'll plunge the world into chaos, waging war on everyone."

Troop 1 looked perplexed. "Why should we care about people outside our nation?"

White's shock was palpable as he heard troop 1's response. He let out a heavy sigh, his voice tinged with sorrow. "I'm sorry, but it seems I have no choice but to get serious. This could push the dark matter in the core to its limits, risking instability and explosion."

Troop 1's reaction was immediate, his eyes widening in disbelief. With a frightened expression, he turned to troop 2 and troop 3, urgency coloring his voice. "Get him! Take him down now before it's too late!"

Responding to the command, troops 1, 2, and 3 surged forward, their hands gripping electrified Kunai tightly.

"ACTIVATE OVERDRIVE MODE," White commanded.

The AI within White's Gundam confirmed his command, its voice echoing through the cockpit. "Voice recognition confirmed... Command confirmed... Initiating overdrive mode..."

"Overdrive mode activated," the AI announced.

Upon activation, an intense crimson aura enveloped the Gundam, illuminating its sleek contours with an ethereal glow. Every surface seemed to pulsate with power, radiating an aura of invincibility that struck fear into the hearts of troop1 ,2 and 3.

The first thing that became apparent was the red glow emanating from every inch of the Gundam's frame, indicating the immense power coursing through its circuits. Its once streamlined design now bristled with protrusions and spikes.

The Gundam's limbs elongated, granting it a greater reach in combat, while its joints became more flexible, allowing for lightning-fast strikes and maneuvers. Its shoulder-mounted cannons morphed into massive plasma emitters, crackling with energy as they prepared to unleash their z payloads.

The most striking feature of the Red Gundam's Overdrive Form was the array of glowing runes etched into its armor. Each rune pulsed with power, channeling the Gundam's energy reserves into potent spells and barriers capable of turning the tide of battle in an instant.

Troop 1's jaw hung open in disbelief at the sight of the newly transformed white Gundam. The shock rippled through him, freezing him momentarily in place.

However, Troop 3 shattered the silence with a dismissive remark, "So what? It's just a makeover, nothing significant." Without hesitation, he charged towards the location of the white Gundam.

Troop 1 shook off his daze, panic setting in as he watched Troop 3 sprinting towards the menacing figure. His voice cracked as he screamed, "No, Troop 3, don't get close!"

But his frantic warning fell on deaf ears as Troop 3's mind was consumed by a primal urge to attack. With unwavering determination, he surged forward, brandishing his kunai infused with crackling electricity, its glow intensifying with each step. He aimed to deliver a lethal blow, oblivious to any plea or caution.

With lightning-fast speed, he lunges at the white Gundam, his laughter echoing through the arena. "You see, Captain, I did it!" he exclaims, his laughter continuing to fill the air.

Troop 3 glances back towards Troop 1, expecting praise for his successful strike, only to be met with a look of sheer terror on Troop 1's face.

"Monster," Troop 1 mutters, his hands trembling as he gestures behind Troop 3.

Turning around, Troop 3's eyes widen as he sees White standing in the distance, far from his previous position. His gaze then falls upon the white Gundam, realizing his kunai had missed its mark and fallen to the ground. Confusion clouds Troop 3's mind as he cries out in fear, "What just happened? I thought I stabbed the Gundam!"

"Shall we begin," White says, his voice chillingly cold, signaling the start of their battle.

White activates the Gundam's propulsion system, a surge of brilliant white light floods the cockpit, casting shadows against the sleek metallic surfaces. With a low hum, the fusion reactors roar to life, their energy cascading through the Gundam's frame like a torrential river unleashed.

The thruster arrays ignite with a blinding intensity, bathing the immediate vicinity in a searing glow. Like celestial beacons, the thrusters emit streams of incandescent plasma, painting the air with streaks of white-hot fire.

With a thunderous roar, the Gundam lurches forward, its massive form propelled by the explosive force of its thrusters. The ground quakes beneath its weight as it charges toward the troop 3 moving at the speed of sound, a towering colossus of gleaming steel and relentless purpose.

As it closes the distance, the Gundam's servo motors spring into action, guiding its movements with a precision,leaving behind a wake of displaced air and crackling energy,

In an instant, White closed in on Troop 3, catching them off guard with no chance to react to his sudden presence. With a swift motion, White gripped Troop 3's head with one of his Gundam hands, dragging it mercilessly across the floor, leaving behind a trail of destruction until Troop 3 ceased to exist.

As White halted his movement and turned towards Troop 1 and Troop 2, their hearts pounded with fear upon realizing his presence.

Troop 1, still reeling from shock and confusion, followed a trail of blood It led straight to White, and in that moment, the realization hit Troop 1 like a ton of bricks: White had killed Troop 3's instantly .

"Now who is next?" White's voice cut through the air, sending shivers down their spines with its icy tone.

Hearing White's chilling words, Troop 1 cried out to Troop 2 in desperation, "Run! We can't take him on!"
