[Miss Kudelia taught a lot of the younger boys how to write, during their journey from Mars, but the older boys like Shino didn't really have the free time for lessons. Shino's not entirely sure he needs it, since most of his responsibilities can be handled without it, but hey, if he's going to be stuck here for a while, it won't hurt, right?]
Hero's journey, I like the sound of that. [He nods in agreement, cupping his chin in his hand] Of course, Mikazuki and Orga are probably the main heroes, but still! I wouldn't say no to being a hero!
We got her to Earth safe, yeah, but it turns out getting her there was the easy part. We'd been mostly avoiding them in space, but after we reached Earth, Gjallerhorn really came down on us hard. We lost Biscuit then... [his expression turns serious and he looks away, folding his arms over his chest. Losing any of the others was hard, but Biscuit was practically a brother] Well, after that, we had no choice but to face Gjallerhorn head on, didn't we? They weren't going to let us back out peacefully, and even if they would, we wouldn't be satisfied with that.
[He unfolds one of his arms, looking down at his hand solemnly.] I didn't get hurt like you saw until the final battle, but it sure wasn't my first. Gjallerhorn set up a blockade keeping us from getting Miss Kudelia to parliament like she needed to, and because they're government, they really had us out-manned and out-gunned. But we had to break through somehow, not just for Miss Kudelia and her ideals, but for Biscuit and everyone who lost their lives along the way. Me, Lafter, and Azee, we were a distraction. We had to keep the mobile suit troops busy so they couldn't go support the main line.
[He looks up, a small, but proud smile on his face] We were doing really great, you know! Right up until that weird suit showed up and smashed us all to pieces. I really thought I was going to die then - the pilot wanted me dead super bad for some reason. I don't know what happened next; I think Mikazuki must have showed up, right in the nick of time like he always does.
And now you know the plot of Mobile Suit Gundam: Ironblooded Orphans!
