Ryouga stretched what little he could in Gundam Panzer's cockpit.  He had
been waiting for the indicator to tell him that his Gundam had completed
tunneling under the OZ outbase in Beijing.  It will be fun once he gets
there he thought.  But getting there, ah, that's where the boredom is.  He
mentally checked the nav computer, yup, he's still on track.

(Ryouga)
This is Panzer, still en- route to target. <Understood Panzer, continue
heading in prescribed direction, you'll be partying soon enough.>  I know,
care to join me commander?  <Much as I want to Ryouga, I still got to
discipline a certain pecking duck.> He used the Orochi to stomp on
something again?  <Not something, someone! Do you know how hard it is to
get those blood stains off?  *ERK* I'm sounding like Kasumi.  I'm a guy
damn it, a guy!>  Easy Ranma, it's just the pressures of command, you're
still a guy.  <Thanks Ryouga, by the way, how far are you from the target?>
Only a couple of klicks more commander. <Better start moving up.> 
Understood,  Gundam Panzer out.

Ryouga tweaks the controls a little and readies his weapon systems, he
smiles at the irony of it all, how a simple twist of fate brought them
here.  

FLASHBACK:

Ryouga was walking towards the Tendo Dojo after wandering all over Tokyo.
Deep in his mind, he wondered why certain parts of Tokyo had beaches that
are nowhere near the ocean and horses that have humpbacks. It was then that
he saw the love of his life Akane, yelling at that misbegotten slob Ranma. 
His anger grew and he powered up a depression blast.  He fired the Shishi
Hokoudan just as Ranma got tied up by Mousse's chains and got a faceful of
something.  (Ryouga may love Akane but he still can't call what Akane made
as food, at least not in her face.) Something unexpected followed,
unexpected even to the residents of Nerima Ward,  The depression chi blast
reacted with the substance in Akane's cooking and the weird metal of
Mousse's chain, (Which Mousse later revealed to be called
Adamantium.)releasing a wave that caused a feedback in their Jusenkyo
curses, their physical makeup were altered and the ensuing energy flux
transferred them into another dimension...

(Ryouga)
...with no idea how to get home.  <Ryouga you prick, don't you know you've
broken surface already?> W..what? <You heard me, you have arrived at your
destination you jerk, now go and destroy the base, before they know what
hit them!>  S..sorry commander, I'll get on it right away!

Focusing on the task at hand the lost one known as Ryouga began
concentrating, his aura seeped into every component of his mobile suit,
shifting from one body to another.  The consciousness was no longer Ryouga
Hibiki but Gundam Panzer.     

The personnel of Station Phoenix one were scrambling like headless
chickens, dazed and confused, ripe for the picking.  And Panzer did not
hesitate in his task of harvesting of souls.  He ignored the artillery
hitting him and lashed out with streams of lazer blasts, all accurate in
their aim.  He demolished the enemy Mobile suits with his beam lance and
heat axe, crushing them one after the other without breaking stride.  It
was at this time that the personnel of Station Phoenix collectively
realized that they were going to die and that no help was ever coming.  It
helped the realization since the first target the huge monstrosity struck
was the communication towers.  Minutes later a huge mushroom cloud
blossomed at the heart of Station Phoenix.  Station Phoenix, it's crew and
personnel of 23,000 OZ soldiers have ceased to exist, what remained of the
base was a huge crater and a mech in camouflage brown and green, Gundam
Panzer.
