Underground cave in the middle of Amstell Continent

0830, 2 April 2008

An old man, a young man, and a little girl. A few minutes ago they stood in a vast meadow under the clear sky, but now the three stood in front of a giant wall, inside of a dimly lit cave.

With sparkling eyes, the little girl looked at the painting on the wall which depicts a dragon as big as a mountain. The dragon had three heads, four arms, a pair of wings, and stood upright on its two legs.

Around the dragon, thousands of Riders bravely attacked it from the air. Meanwhile, millions of horse cavalry were attacking from the ground. However, the dragon casually stood while gazing at a gigantic city he had just turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Curiously, the little girl asked the old man, "Grandpa, who drew King Ghidorah here?"

The old man softly replied, "This is not King Ghidorah but The Calamitous. The painting was made by the 3rd Great Leader of Nemo Temple, as a reminder of Regus Imperial City's destruction 1200 years ago.

Two hundred years ago, The Calamitous should have woken up from hibernation and hunted for a year in every corner of the planet before going back to sleep, but somehow he didn't appear. Then, the 15th Great Leader of Nemo Temple had a vision that in 22 years The Calamitous will appear to end all life on this planet before returning to its home planet."

Calmly, the young man said, "Well, it just so happens that this place is in the middle of Amstell Continent. So we will set up the main base here, create the required weapon systems, then finish off The Calamitous when he appears."

With a hoping tone the little girl asked, "Uncle O'Neil, can we make and bring Gundam Zero here?"

"Of course we can."

Almost all the time, the young man had an expressionless face, but when he spoke to the little girl, his gaze and expression turned gentle.

Holding the little girl, the young man continued, "We will build and bring as many Gundam Zeros as possible to defeat The Calamitous."

"Mhm." The little girl nodded firmly before kissing the young man's cheek.

At the same time, a smile full of relief appeared on the old man's lips.

Claire was enjoying jumbo waffles when Bob came into her study room.

"Miss, I just received word that Gundam Zero's developments by Israel have just been completed, and some samples will be sent to the US Mil base in Turkey."

Claire immediately smiled. "Good, Vex just got in touch with me. He will be at the Central Africa Federation for a few days before flying here. He also asked me to advance some schedules."

Bob nodded slightly before asking, "Are we starting the investment plan in the Central Africa Federation?"

"Yup."

"Understood, I will immediately fly to the Central African Federation and start the talk." After a small bow Bob then left the room.

At the same time, Claire muttered under her breath, 'It's only a few years before The Calamitous appears. Hopefully, TF Amethyst is fully ready when the time comes.'
