Writing Gundam UC 0210

[Domon]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]It is the Universal Century 0210 and it has been many years since the last real war waged between the earth and the colonies surrounding it. The last known war was started back in UC 0153 and was won thanks to the Victory Gundam and its pilot against the Zanscare Empire.
Now all the previous Gundams and the Zeon mobile suits have been rebuilt etc. and are now currently on display at the ?Museum of Mobile Suit History? thankfully some of these models like the younger models of Victory gundam and a few of its predecessors are the real things. Models like the RX-78-2 Gundam are just reincarnations of the past. So far in this day and age no wars have been waged and the earth once so badly damaged from the constant outbreaks of war or skirmishes has flourished and is now back to normal. As for the colonies, the older ones have been abandoned for the newest ones that were just opened about 5 years ago. But some colonists have refused to go and have even attacked the transport ships. This was all happening within the old vicinity of Side 3 which back in UC 0079 was the main stay for the Duchy of Zeon.
The leaders of this rebellion have claimed that they are descendants of the Zeon royal family and that they will not allow to be removed from the area that the colony once stood. In other words these people were looking for attention. So the rest of the Earth Sphere Unified Nation just decided to let these people have their bottle and let them stay put. Unfortunately this was a bad idea seeing as how within the next 2 weeks 5 transport ships came under attack from unknown mobile suits. The government responded by sending in investigators to the colony from where they came from, unfortunately they too were attacked and killed. So the government then responded by starting up a militia branch, all the loyal colonies (which was all of them except the aggressor) signed a contract saying that they would help in the development of an army to quash this rebellion.
As the year progressed into UC 0211 4 colonies had been destroyed or taken over by the enemy, the E.S.N. was now looking at a dire threat, if these people did what they thought they would do they would drop a colony onto the Earth and they just couldn?t afford that. Not after all that the Earth had gone through to restabilze itself. It was then brought to attention to revive the Gundam building project. The E.S.N. then signed a contract with Anaheim Electronics which was now loyal to them who then decided to build at least 4 gundams. One of them was designated as the first prototype named ?Blade? Gundam, this of course was its name because it was designed for close combat and had an array hand held weapons. The second was named ?Phoenix? Gundam because of the massive wings built onto it so that it could enter the atmosphere without a ship and also because of its fire-red color scheme. The third was named ?Reaper? due to the fact that it had a stealth system but when it made it was armed like a large army, it had one large beam cannon, 3 missile silos built into its chest, and 3 beam sabers. The fourth and final gundam had not been named because the scientists considered it a reject and kept it in a hanger separate from the others. It was only registered under the name ?NT-04 Gundam? meaning it had been designed for a Newtype pilot, or someone with the reflexes of one. Now after the completion of these magnificent machines the E.S.N. started scouting around looking at some of the best of the best but to no avail could they find any great adults. So the E.S.N. has swallowed its pride and has now taken to recruiting 4 teenage candidates, except the head people of the Mobile Suit division wasn?t ready for a 4th person to show up. The scientists merely explained that one of these candidates has the reflexes of a Newtype and may be able to pilot the ?NT-04? unfortunately the candidates must first undergo training, hopefully these kids can show their true abilities and maybe, just maybe the Newtype pilot will emerge from the works.
But meanwhile the E.S.N is doing this the military faction has now re-named themselves ?The Elite forces of Zeon?. Obviously deluded that these people belong to the ancestors of the once infamous Zeon they have built a large Mobile Suit army and are currently plotting on taking over all the colonies on the moon so as to pose more of a threat to the Earth and the rest of the surrounding colonies. But since the Earth has taken a defensive stance all of the newer colonies have moved themselves into a defense ring around the Earth and the Moon ?Thanks to the now better navigation system.? And they have all aimed their weapons directly at this rebelling faction. The leaders have assured their men that they will not do a frontal assault but merely pick off the colonies one by one. And as the colonists flee or back off they will then set their sights on the Moon and the colonies and the riches that await them. Little do they know of the Gundams that have been built to defend the Earth once more from the dire threat of destruction.[/i]

****************************************************************
[i]I guess you could say I was honored when an E.S.N. scout showed up at my school and asked me if I would be interested in joining the military. At first I looked at the man and said ?I thought that we didn?t need an army since UC 0200 since we?ve had the peace keeping corp.? But the man just looked at me and then asked again so I couldn?t refuse so I agreed and the man took out a cell phone and dialed up someone and started giving them instructions, as soon as he had hung up he opened the door out of the office and we were on our way out. As soon as we exited the door I saw a black limousine and my heart soared. I should have considered joining the military sooner. The man that I had been talking too opened the door and I slid in with my book bag in tow. I?d been told that they had told my mom that I?d been selected to take part in a military project, she?d objected and I knew why. Dad had been in the military and he?d gone into space on a simple routine mission but on the way back the ship he was in exploded. The military had said the engine core had exploded and he didn?t have time to eject in the escape pod. But that hadn?t been good enough of an explanation and she said she disliked the army after that.
After having been lost in my thoughts for what seemed like only 5 minutes I looked up and saw that we were pulling into a military installation, I recognized this from when dad showed me pictures of this from when it was being constructed, this was Anaheim Electronics. I looked at the man confused.[/i] ?But this hasn?t been needed since Amuro Ray and Char Aznable went against each other with the Nu Gundam and Sazabi. So why are they here and why are we trusting them???
[i]The man looked at me with a grin.[/i] ?Well son ever since that incident many years ago Anaheim Electronics died off, the scientists still hung around but the company went dormant etc. Well now we?ve given them a one-deal contract stating that they are to help us with the development of gundams and other mobile suits. In turn they gave us complete control of the company and if we do find any of their technology in a Zeon MS, then we?ll close the company down and take all the specs for our Mobile Suits. So of course they wouldn?t betray us since they are sitting on a military base.?
[i]I slumped back down into my seat, I wondered why the E.S.N. hadn?t decided to reconstruct Jaburo in South America, I guess though that since it had caved in and destroyed almost anything the E.S.N. decided against doing a military base underground again. My thoughts were soon put to rest when the inside of the car suddenly became pitch black, we?d gone underground and were heading down. While we were driving in this pitch-blackness my heart started skipping. This was going to be cool I thought. As I was thinking that this might be a different base my question was answered once again as the car pulled onto a large highway and I looked out the window and there were buildings that were built just like the ones from Jaburo! I nearly squealed with delight, ever since I?d read about the first gundam and Jaburo I had fallen in love with Mobile Suits. We drove by what seemed to be the main building and after practically peeling my face off the window the man handed me a small Ziploc bag of things.[/i] ?These are your identification tags and your card keys. Since you are only a candidate still. You aren?t allowed access to certain areas, once you gain the title of pilot you will be allowed access to more areas. Understood??
[i]I looked at him with disbelief. I was still a candidate?![/i] ?Surely you?re kidding me, I thought I was a pilot.?
[i]He retorted bluntly.[/i] ?No kid you?re still a candidate because you haven?t been assigned a gundam yet.?
?Oh.? [i]Was all I could say, I felt like I?d just been backhanded across my face. I couldn?t believe this! I wasn?t a pilot yet! My anger boiled just a tidbit as the car came to a halt outside what appeared to be a hangar. The man opened the door and stepped out first and I grabbed my backpack and stepped out as well. He then closed the door and the limo drove off, as soon as the car had taken off we headed for a door in which he slid a card key in and the door unlocked and we entered.
My thoughts were right, this was a hangar and it was where they had the gundams stored, well one of them. It was amazing looking. It looked too familiar to, it was a copy of the gundam named NT-01 Alexander.[/i]
?Sir, what is this outdated gundam doing here? What?s the NT-01 doing here?!?
[i]The man simply looked at me and chuckled.[/i] ?That isn?t Alexander, hell this gundam doesn?t even have a codename. Its just designated NT-04 its supposed to look like the Alexander because Anaheim based the design off of Alexander and the same concept being as that only a New type or person with the reflexes of a New type can pilot it.?
?But that Mckenzie girl piloted Alexander and she wasn?t even a New Type!? [i]I yelped, the man obviously thought about this and then chuckled. He obviously knew I was fascinated by Mobile Suits. Because very few people knew about the gundam from UC 0080 and the incidents on Side 6 which was a neutral colony. But the Zeon and E.S.F. had used that to their advantages, which nearly ended in the destruction of the colony.
Anyways out of my daydream. After exiting the NT-04?s hangar we arrived at an elevator which took us to a briefing room where three other pilots sat and a young woman in a white trench coat stood looking at us all. She had several schematics of things on a view screen and just as we?d entered she?d been in the middle of a speech.[/i]
?Well I hope he?s the last of them.? [i]She said rather icily, obviously she wasn?t too happy about me arriving late, my face flushed as I took my seat at the end of the table. These other people seemed to be in the same boat except they had been here longer and were probably settled in more, me I had just gotten here and I was about to leap out of my seat and start running around in delight! A gundam, I couldn?t believe I would be assigned a gundam!! Of course I was fighting this urge with all my will power while trying to focus on this lady. She obviously noticed this by flicking off the screen and looking at us.[/i]
?Shall we go take a look at your soon to be new toys?? [i]She said with a somewhat giddy tone; obviously she liked these gundams as well. The five of us headed for the elevator and took it down the ground level and stepped out into a brightly lit corridor which led us to a very large hanger. And there standing before us were the other 3 gundams, I then looked off to the side and noticed a crew tinkering with the NT-04. I grinned; obviously they were planning on using it even though it was designed for New Type pilots. I hoped that I could pilot it; I?d give it a nickname.[/i]
?As you can see these will be the gundams you?ll be piloting. But, you 4 are far from piloting these things, first off you?ll start with the basic mobile suit. After you?ve passed the training. Once you pass that you?ll be training in Zero-G situation with the Mobile Suits. Okay?? [i]She asked obviously looking for one of us to ask a question. I raised my hand slowly, I had to ask about the NT-04.[/i]
?Yes, what is it Mr. Landon? Is it?? [i]She asked sifting through obviously some files on her digipad.[/i]
?Yes, I was wondering how you?ll determine who the pilot will be for the NT-04 since it was developed for New Type usage.? [i]I asked with my blood pounding in my ears. She looked at me with her eyes, those eyes seemed to burn a hole right in my face she then said rather coolly as she flicked her hair to one side.[/i]
?You will have to score rather highly on your training to pilot this gundam. So if you are wanting to pilot this I suggest that you train really hard and I hope to god that you?re a natural at piloting a Mobile Suit.? [i]And with that she stalked off and the man that had escorted me to the limousine walked up in her place except he was wearing a colonel?s uniform. He looked at us all with a look of dead seriousness.[/i]
?All right kiddies, tomorrow at exactly 0600 hours you?re going to wake up and start training! Got me?!? [i]He barked loudly. And with that he turned on his heel s and walked briskly out of the hanger. As soon as he left the hangar a young man who looked like a mouse came up and spoke rather loudly.[/i]
?Ok, now I?ll show you to your quarters. Please follow me.? [i]We followed the man who seemed to be leading us around in circles in the corridor after what seemed like hours of walking we were lead to two separate doors and as I peered down the hallway even more I saw what appeared to be a lounge.[/i]
?Okay you three guys will be sleeping here and the lady will be sleeping in these quarters. Now like it was stated earlier you will be up at 0600 hours to begin your training so get to sleep either now or you may tour the facilities now, but I suggest that you change into your uniforms etc. so then that you may tour the facilities. Anyways, that?ll be all.? [i]And with that he turned on his heel and walked out.[/i]
?Well, I guess we should get changed then.? [i]I said a little goofily. I really had no idea what these guys were like or who they were so I guess my first goal was to get to know these people. ?Oh thrill for me!? I thought sarcastically.[/i][/COLOR]

[Luminaire]

[color=crimson]I was never much of a UC fan, but I gotta say, I like the way this is going. There is a bit of jumping and that "quash" is really getting to me. <.<;;;
All in all, this could be great. Keep it going!!!

[COLOR=darkblue][i]The four of us walked into the locker rooms, but soon the female pilot had left to get dressed on her own. Those left waited in line to get our lockers while carefully examining one another. We had not been formally introduced yet, so I really only knew them as "the other pilots." It might have been easier for me if things hadn't gotten so personal later on down the road; sometimes I wish that they had simply remained "the other pilots." There was an awkwardness between us; we knew that we should become friends, but everyone was afraid of saying the first words.

After checking in with the locker manager I received a combination lock and my assigned locker "17-B." Upon seeing my locker number I smiled, that was the address of my original home, with my parents. One of the other pilots, blonde hair and blue eyes, walked up to the locker next to me and started undressing. Underneath his dark shirt was a muscular frame, obviously he was athletic. My parents were scientists, and they trained me to follow in their footsteps. Slightly embarrassed, I turned my back to him and changed, afraid of revealing my average physique.

I was tall, with dark hair and even darker eyes. This blonde kid was noticably a few years younger than me; in fact, I was the oldest person in the group.[/i]

"Hey," [i]he said,[/i] "What's that mark on your back?"

[i]I paused for a second, and then realized he was talking about the burn marks on my left shoulder blade. I sighed.[/i]

"It's kind of personal," [i]I replied a little on the defensive side.[/i]

"No, I completely understand." [i]He said, slightly embarrassed. There was an awkward pause in the conversation. Slowly I turned to him with a lopsided grin.[/i]

"You see, my parents were scientists. I don't know the whole story, but they were developing a new type of energy when something went wrong." He nodded, "There was an explosion, and it nearly destroyed everything within a mile radius, including my school. There was a fire, and I got caught up in it and that?s how I got these scars."

"That's terrible," [i]He said,[/i] "I'm really sorry."

"Thanks."

[i]We shared a smile and He outstretched his hand towards me,[/i]

"I'm Noyade Tre'Vista." [i]We shook hands like we'd met each other a long time ago and had known each other longer than that of just the mere seconds we had met.[/i]

"I'm Frank Baum, it's nice to meet you." [i]I said with more of a grin on my face, it felt good to meet this Noyade.

Our guide announced that we needed to hurry if we wanted to see the rest of the base, so we quickly got into our uniforms. The pants on mine were a little.. constricting, so I was only able to walk in very short steps. Noyade asked me if something was wrong with my legs, but I assured him that the only problem was with the uniform.

The next stop on our tour was the airstrip, where several transport planes were preparing for takeoff. The girl, I think she called herself "Joe" was really excited to see all of the aircraft. My reaction was less than enthusiastic, but after seeing part of their RnD department I became much more interested in the tour. Science is a passion of mine, so I couldn't hide my excitement of seeing the new projects that they were up to.

After exciting the RnD department an older man in a uniform approached us. He was bald, and his uniform was covered with medals. Over the several dozen stars on the left shirt pocket was a nametag, "Kamiya." Our guide dropped his papers and saluted the man immediately, while the rest of us followed suit, afraid of getting disciplined.[/i]

"Hello General," [i]Our guide shouted, still saluting.[i]

"Drop the formalities, son, we don't want to scare away my recruits with all of these formalities." [i]General Kamiya said bluntly.

To say the least, the rest of us were impressed. This was General Kamiya, the man who operated the entire base. Through our various briefings we had learned a great deal about the man; if anyone could turn us into mobile suit pilots it was him.[/i][/COLOR]

[b]My character[/b]

[COLOR=darkblue][/i]After meeting General Kamiya, who I'd only heard a tidbit about him during the briefing we were led past the mess hall and then back to our quarters. The three of us guys walked into a room with three bunks etc. I pulled off the jacket and threw it onto the top bunk without effort and slumped onto the bottom one and kicked off my boots and slumped face down onto the pillow. Just then I felt a rough hand shaking my back as I mumbled a few well chosen words for being disturbed I rolled over and was looking at the blonde haired boy.[/i] "Oh hi. I guess I didn't introduce myself, I'm Brant and you are?"

"Noyade. He's Frank. So, which gundam you hoping to get?" [i]He asked with his eyes glittering. I looked at him and bluntly said.[/i] "The NT-04."

"That thing!?!?!" [i]He yelped in surprise.[/i] "I thought you'd be after the Reaper one too. Well that's the one I'm wanting. Say, Frank, which gundam do you want?" [i]Frank looked over from his bunk he obviously hadn't been thinking about this until just now and his face went blank for a minute and then he replied.[/i] "I guess the Blade Gundam."

"Well then that leaves Phoenix for the girl. Although I have to say that your choice is rather poor Brant." [i]Noyade said.[/i] "You do know that the NT-04 is a knockoff of the NT-01 don't you?"

"Pfftt.. Please, not with the current weapon systems we have, especially with the Variable Speed Beam Rifle like which was installed on the Victory Gundam and Formula 91 Gundam." [i]I then looked at Frank and Noyade's faces. I'd lost them because of my rambling about weapon systems.[/i]

"Okay, Variable Speed Beam Rifle, or VSBR for short is the latest in beam weaponry for Mobile Suits. Instead of running on a sperate power supply the beam rifle gets power directly from the Mobile Suit's own generator and also allows the pilot to choose the rifle's speed. Slow particle speed results in a wide massive blast capable of destroying warships. Fast speeds result in a more concentrated blast and a finer beam which can therefore pierce heavy armoring or beam shields. So you get to customize your weapon as you fight."

"Ooooohhhhhh......Cool." [i]Noyade said with a small whistle at the end. I chuckled and then slumped back down onto my bed. Tomorrow would come and go. I just wanted to get this dumb training over with before I went insane.

Well, I was right about tomorrow coming early. Too damn early for me.. I was rudely awakened by some jerk who thought that by yanking my blanket off and angling my mattress so that I would fall out was good motivation. Well, it got me motivated, to punch the son of a ***** in the nose. I knew I was going to regret that and I did because after the guy left in walked the general with a stern look on his face.[/i]

"Sorry general, I just uhh..." [i]I trailed off after that and the old man just looked at me and chuckled and said. "He is rather a pain in the butt isn't he? Well I see no harm done seeing as how you didn't break his nose. Heh, just get ready with the others." After that I saluted smartly and ran off to the locker room and changed quickly and ran up to meet up with the others in the mess hall. I was starving, after pulling up a tray and some food I found the others sitting by a window so I bolted over there and sat down next to Noyade. He looked at me bewildered as I managed to make 5 pancakes, 2 eggs, and a glass of milk disappear in seconds. I looked at him grinning as I managed to choke down my food and said with a goofy grin.[/i] "Too used to eating fast before leaving for school."

"Well you sure ate like a pig." [i]Said the Joe, the girl across from me, in reply to her comment I simply stuck my tounge out.[/i] "You're also immature." [i]She said rather cooly. I couldn't help but burst out laughing at her. Her puzzled look got me laughing even harder.[/i]

"I don't see what's so amusing, I merely stated the obvious." [i]She said rather hotly and offended.[/i]

"That's the thing! Hahaha! You remind me of a girl from my school. I tried anything to impress her but she always thought of herself too cool to be seen with me. Heh, just what you said reminded me of her. Hahahaha!!!"

[i]Unfortunately our lighthearted conversation was cut short by a man standing at the head of our table, I looked up and gasped mentally. It was the same guy I punched right in the nose. I about fainted when he said his first words.[/i]

"All right kiddies, ready for some training???!!!" [i]He said with an evil look on his face.


Noyade, Frank, and I all stumbled into our quarters exhausted and ready to kill our drill instructor. First off the jerk had made sure to single me out to do all of the major crap just because he pissed me off and got me angry at 6 in the morning doesn't mean he should blame me!! Blame my inner demon for coming out and getting pissed! Heh, anyways enough of my ranting. First off the jerk decided that he'd torture us first by making us run about 5 miles on the roadway, then he also thought it would be a great idea for us to then start weightlifting. The torture just went on, my body ached I was tired and ready to kill that man. But that soon went away as my body slowly drifted off to sleep.[/i][/COLOR]

[Hittokiri Zero]

I just skimmed through it but it's quite intresting I do plan to read the entire thing at a later date though =)

[Domon]

[COLOR=darkblue][SIZE=1]Thanks, I hope to get some more of the story up. I'll hopefully get up Joe, Noyade, and my char's up soon, and then I'll show you the baddies ^_^ [/SIZE][/COLOR]
