Konnichiwa! I am Kouhikouryuu, and I'll be your authoress this evening. Tonight's selection is called Wyvern Gold. This is my first attempt at a crossover, and hopefully, it won't suck as crossovers have the custom of doing. I tried my best to make the two worlds fit together, especially since someone told me that there's no way Guymelefs and Mobile Suits could fight each other and have Melefs win. Well what if Gaea took their magic hybrids to the limit and created a magic that could defeat technology? And if that doesn't work, steal the technology. :p
Oh Gawd. Disclaimers. These suck. And they make no sense. Show me a thriving anime production company headed by a black woman under the age of 24, and I'll be happy to point out the obvious that this is probably the greatest miracle aside from the Second Coming of Jesus. I have had no part in the idea of Escaflowne TV or Gundam: AC Universe. Go bother Bandai about both of them. Lord knows I do often enough. Where are my Gundam plushies, dangit?!
Authoress' Note: This story is a cross over between Gundam: AC and Escaflowne. The battles between Guymelefs and Mobile Suits work the same way as the game Arcanum: Of Steamworks (the Gundams) and Magic Obscura (Guymelefs). Yeah, I know that Guymelefs are technically both Steamworks AND Magic Obscura, but that way, it'd only be an Escaflowne fic. So just run with it and it'll all be okay.
AC 225: 2.15 – 27th year of the reign of King Van of Fanelia
"Why am I doing this? Why am I running?!" The tears flowed freely down Dei's cheeks. "Stop it! Turn around! Piece of crap!"
The battle had started five hours earlier. The mission was simple; keep the Mystic Moon dwellers away from Gaea at any cost. She had been doing well, since this was her first glimpse of combat. She'd been trained to think nothing of it when she slain the enemy. In fact she'd done well cutting down the ranks by a dozen before her attack hit.
It was a simple lapse of judgment. Her wing went up at the wrong angle to block a shot from a beam saber. The excess energy passed through and struck her Melef armor in the hand. No big deal. So why was her entire left arm completely numb? And why couldn't she think straight?
"Please, don't be a heart attack again. Getting them in the simulators was bad enough. I don't want to die out here…" The WyvernGold flapped its Gundanium wings twice and entered the atmosphere of Gaea.
The giant dragon armor set down at the Southern camp. Without her left hand to control the other arm, the armor landed off-balance and fell in a giant cloud of dust.
"What are you doing back here!? That battle isn't over yet!!" General Neuill shouted as he ran up to it.
The top chest panel of WyvernGold opened up, steam hissing from the pistons. Dei slid out and onto the ground, a trail of blood left on the bottom panel. She made an honest effort to get up, but collapsed at Neuill's feet.
"Get a medic and a mechanic out here! NOW!!" Neuill stood over Dei and grimaced. "Damn. It happened again." He gave her a swift kick in the chest and sent her rolling. "Get up, Lieutenant. Can't have you dying if you're the only one capable of working the damned thing."
Lieutenant Neuill was the exact example of military reprogramming gone awry. A shrewd monster of a wolf-man, but an excellent strategist who made the most of every situation. And if strategy didn't work, he could always scare the enemy off by opening that big mouth of his. Wolf people never were nice... He didn't stand for losing, and he knew the only way to win this part of the war was to use the girl and the strange gift of that Mystic Guymelef. This is what made him the angriest. He would've taken the metal beast for himself except he knew the thing would kill him and spit him out in an instant.
Dei didn't hear him, and even if she had, she wouldn't have cared. He always abused her like this. She was immune to his attacks. The medics carried her away, and the mechanics started to work on the armor's broken hand. It was severed almost completely through and dangled by a few stray wires.
"We need to destroy this piece of crap. It's killed too many of my soldiers already. I wouldn't be surprised if the Mystic Moon hadn't sent this thing to kill us all."
~~~~*~~~~
"You still haven't found it yet?! Gaea's probably got it already!" Colonel Willis slammed his fists down on the table.
"Those savages wouldn't know what to do with it anyway. We'll simply send a few thousand more through the gate and go get it." Lieutenant Lison was studying the last coordinates of the shuttle attempting to pass through the Mystic Gate.
"If they're such savages, how come their mobile suits are tearing ours apart by the dozen, and why would it take an entire regiment to get the suit back?" The Colonel raised an eyebrow.
"Well, um… Sir –"
Captain Vell couldn't stand it when Lison opened his mouth, so she simply interrupted whenever she could. "It would be simpler to just send one person to infiltrate the camps and steal it back."
"Send the original pilot, since the machine is his responsibility." Lison glared at Vell.
"The original pilot was killed when the shuttle was raided." Willis shot back.
"How did that idiot get this far?!?!" Vell could only smirk at Lison's lack of intelligence.
"Who was the next officer who qualified for the armor?" They Commander pushed the stack of applicants to the middle of the table.
"Actually, we'll need the next two. Because it's an armor, it's not supposed to fly alone. The base suit was recovered in perfect condition." Vell held up two folders.
"Fine. Who are they?"
Lison practically snatched the folders from Vell. "Majors Kai Tyson and Jeremy Or."
"Excuse you, Lieutenant!!!" Vell took the folders back.
"Vell! Lison! Stop it! Turning on each other at this point isn't going to do any of us any good. As long as General Fritz of the US Washington Base doesn't find out we lost a Five billion-dollar armor, there is NO PROBLEM. GOT IT?"
"Yes sir." Vell and Lison said in unison.
So that's it for chapter one. What do ya think? I've so far got 7 chapters done (about this size), and I'll wait about a week before each one is posted. No one ever seems to read and review when I post whole stories at once. -_- About this, you'll get references to original characters, but none of the actual characters are in this fic. It saves me the trouble of trying to get completely incompatible people to interact (i.e. Dilandau trying to threaten someone like Heero or Zechs; I can't... well I can see it, but it'd be so ridiculously horrid, it'd kill the whole fic). Well, see you next week, min'na!
