Prologue:

Long time ago, Earth was the home to all humans. But when the population became too high, man set new worlds into the skies. This marked the era of the Universal Century. Wars broke out constantly between Earth and Space and it seemed to have no end.

To win, man created large machines known as: mobile suits to fight their battles. Both sides fought continuous bloody battles with these machines on ground and space. Each war, there was a mobile suit made to change the tides of battle, they called them the Gundams. After the war ended in the Cosmic Era, all Gundams that where confirmed still active where order to be concealed in a location that will never be found, or destroyed so that none of them would fall into the wrong hands, but in case of emergency, the location of the unit was put into the manual in a special code.

Ever since then, mobile suits have been put aside due to the lack of war.

But one day, during Cosmic Era 99, there was a revolt. People in space created an organization that despised those on Earth and started another war. The one on Earth reacted to this threat. The organized revolt ended the conflict by dropping several colonies from the Universal Century era onto many locations on the Earth. This act nearly wiped out the population on Earth and made it nearly inhabitable. The organization was destroyed as a reaction from the Earth sphere. This was called The War of All's End…

CHAPTER ONE: MOBILE SUIT ACTIVITY

New Century 013, December 3

"Yoko?"

A girl around the age of 17 looked through books of old myths and stories of ancient times. She had dark black hair that she dyed purple and had red eyes. She sat on her bed every night reading the books about wars and conflicts of past. She stopped and looked to her halfway closed door when she heard her name called.

"Yoko, are you awake?"

She looked at the person behind the door. "Yes, Shinta. You can come in."

The boy opened the door and walked in. Shinta was Yoko's younger brother at age thirteen. He walked over and sat down on her bed. There where books all over her bed and on the floor. "What are you reading?"

Yoko looked back at her book. "The Gryps Conflict, it's my favorite so far."

"Is that the one where the golden mobile suit is from? The Hyaku…Hyaku…"

"Hyaku Shiki." she said. "That's your favorite one, how come you don't remember the name?"

"You forgot to write the name down on the picture you drew for me." he said looking in the book.

"Mom says you being interested in war and such is strange for you, for being a girl." said Shinta.

"Well, mom doesn't know about this stuff as much as I do. Even before she left us for her job in Japan." said Yoko. "I bought every book in the library on this stuff."

"What's your favorite robot?" asked Shinta.

"I don't know, I haven't read every book, I just look at the pictures first." she said. "But so far, it's the Zeta Gundam."

"What's the Zeta Gundam?" asked Shinta.

She looked though the pages. "I don't know; there's no picture of it in the book. Just Rick Dias, Hyaku Shiki, Methuss, and so on and so forth." She closed the book after placing a book mark in it. "It's time to go to sleep; I'll take you shopping in the morning, okay?"

"Alright." said Shinta walking out of the room. "You better promise."

"Okay, I promise this time." she said pulling the sheets over her. "Just close the door."

Morning…

Yoko parked next to the flea market and got out of the car. Shinta got out on the other side. Yoko looked around ant put her sunglasses on over her eyes. She wore a black tank-top and tight, black pants that end right above her knees. She also had a sweater around her waist and a hand bag. "Stay with me, Shinta." Yoko walks in and Shinta follows closely behind. Yoko looked around for more books on the wars. "What are you looking for, Shinta?"

"Well, is it alright if I get an air-soft gun as long as I don't point it at people?" said Shinta looking around.

"You better not point it at me, you can go find one and you can call me on my phone when you're done." Yoko let go of his hand and walked down one direction. "Don't get lost." She walked through the crowds of people in front of her and looked at all of the stands with books on them. Then she found a stand with books all over. She came up to the stand. She took her sunglasses off and looked at all of the books in one stack, and then the other.

"See anything you want?" asked the owner of the stand. Yoko looked up to see an older woman standing on the other side of the stand.

"Um, do you have any books on like: wars, mobile suits, or anything like that?" she asked.

"Oh yes, we have three of those." she said. "Those books are very popular these days." She headed back and opened a card board box full of books. The old woman grabbed three books of brown covers and brought them over. "Here they are."

Yoko took the books into her hands and looked at them. The titles read: Mobile suits of Universal Century, Mobile Suits of After Colony, and Mobile Suits of Cosmic Era. "Cool, I don't have these yet." she looked back to the woman. "How much are they?"

"Oh, you can take em'." she said. "I've been wanting to get rid of those old books after my husband passed away."

"Really?" asked Yoko. "Well, thanks." Yoko looked at the other books and saw a book sitting at the bottom of an empty cardboard box. She looked at it more closely and read the title: MSZ-006 Operation Manual. Yoko's eyes widened with excitement. She wanted that so much. "How much for that book?"

The old woman looked at the book and took it out of the box. She walked to the desk with it. "Is this it?"

"Yes, is it for sale?" she asked.

"It is, but I was expecting to give it to someone a little older." said the old woman. "It's $40."

Yoko took out her wallet and looked though it. She had more than enough. "Here." She pulled out the money and gave it to the woman.

The old woman took the money and handed the book. "Take good care of it. It used to be very valuable at one point, but now it's just literature." Yoko reached out and the old woman pulled it away. "Don't let it fall into the wrong hands." Then she handed it to Yoko.

"Okay." said Yoko. "Thanks again." She walked off and looked for her brother to show him the new books. She stopped at a bench and sat down. "He can just call me." Yoko took out the book with the strange title and opened the cover. Then she whispered the first few words at the top of the page. "MSZ-006…Zeta Gundam…?" Then an explosion was heard and something flew over head. Yoko quickly grabbed her books and looked up to an amazing sight. A red machine was flying right over head and firing at something. She recognized the machine. "A Marasai?!"

The Marasai flew into an abandoned apartment building and started shooting at the sky. Yoko looked up again and saw another familiar mobile suit fly over to it. It was known as a Nemo, a mass-produced mobile suit during the Gryps Conflict. It flew over to the Marasai and kicked the rifle out of its hand while still in mid air. Then it pointed the gun at the head and fired before using its veneers to boost backwards. The Marasai's head exploded and it fell over into the apartment building. The cockpit quickly opened and the pilot quickly jumped out and ran away. Yoko put the books in her hand bag and ran to find Shinta. Explosions and frightened civilians could be heard from all around, and more mobile suits flew around the area. Yoko watched as another mobile suit, called the GM, flew over and kicked the head off of another red mobile suit called the Galbaldy 

Yoko found Shinta; he was standing in the field, looking up at something. "Shinta!" Yoko ran over to him and stopped right in front of him. She squat down and looked at him. "Shinta, we need to leave, it's dangerous!"

"The Hyaku Shiki!" he said pointing in front of him into the sky.

"…what?" said Yoko.

"The Hyaku Shiki's over there!"

Yoko spun around to see a bright, golden mobile suit fly from the skies and land on the ground. It pointed its rifle at another Galbaldy and fired at its left arm, blowing it off. Then it blew up its gun before hovering over and kicking the Galbaldy in the chest plating, resulting in it falling over and the pilot making a quick escape shortly after it fell on the ground. Then it looked to its left and saw a Gouf running at it. The Hyaku Shiki drew its beam saber and sliced into the Gouf's arms before kicking that down as well. "That's amazing!"

"It's doing so well!" said Shinta jumping up and down.

"It's still dangerous to be this close!" Yoko grabbed his hand and ran away from it.

Shinta looked back at it as it stood ready for its next opponent. Then a tremor made him lose his balance and fall down with Yoko. Shinta looked in front of him to see a Marasai standing right in front of them. "What's that?!"

"Oh…my…god!" said Yoko looking up in fear. Just before she closed her eyes, just to reopen them again, the Hyaku Shiki ran its beam saber through the cockpit of the Marasai and threw it to the ground out of the way of civilians. Yoko calmed down and sighed with relief.

The Hyaku Shiki turned to the market and activated a loud speaker. "Attention all civilians, the situation is under control, there's no longer anything to worry about!"

A Nemo approached the Hyaku Shiki and the hatch to the cockpit opened up so the pilot can walk out. "Sir, there are no confirmed casualties in the area of the market and all mobile suits have been immobilized."

The Hyaku Shiki's hatch opened and a man in a black and white pilot suit walked out. (A/N: If you've seen Gackt's Metamorphoze music video, then you know what the pilot suit looks like) He looked down at Yoko and Shinta. Then he extended a wire on the side of his hatch to get down by placing his foot in the foot holder on the end of the line. It slowly let him down and he walked up to Yoko. "Is everything alright, miss?"

"We're fine." said Yoko. She helped Shinta to his feet. "Thank you."

"You're the pilot of the Hyaku Shiki?!" said Shinta with excitement.

"I am." he said.

"But, you're not much older than my sister, and those moves you made where awesome!" said Shinta.

"That was all so that the mobile suit doesn't explode and destroy the area." he said. "But thanks for the compliment."

"The Hyaku Shiki is my favorite mobile suit! To see it fight like that is way too cool!" said Shinta.

Yoko felt a little embarrassed at seeing her brother like this. "So, what's your name?"

"Lieutenant Kin Takahashi, I'm the 13th Mobile suit squadron commander." he said.

"I see." said Yoko.

"Can I see the inside of your Hyaku Shiki?!" asked Shinta.

"Don't ask that, that mobile suit is dangerous!" said Yoko.

"I just want to see inside, I won't touch anything." said Shinta then he looked at Yoko's book bag. "Hey, you got new books." He grabbed one and pulled it out, making the one labeled: MSZ-006 Operation Manual fall out onto the ground.

"Crap!" said Yoko bending down to pick it up, but Kin already had it in his hands.

Kin stood up with it and opened it. He looked though the first few pages and looked at Yoko. "…Where did you get this…?"

"…I…I bought it at the flea market." she said looking at his expression. "Why?"

"This is the operations manual to the Zeta Gundam." said Kin. "Do you know how valuable this is at this point?"

"The owner said it wasn't very valuable." said Yoko.

"Until the Zeta Gundam is discovered again." said Kin. Yoko took the book back.

"Well, I want to keep it." she said putting it in her bag.

"Why won't you let him read it?" asked Shinta.

Kin squatted down at Shinta and smiled. "Hey, you still want to see my Hyaku Shiki?"

Shinta's face lit up. "Can I really?!"

"I'll even teach you how to fly it if your sister let's me take that manual up onto my ship and look at it." he said.

Shinta looked to Yoko. "Let him see it, please!"

Yoko looked down at him. She didn't want to disappoint him by letting him lose his one and only chance to see his favorite machine, nor did she want to lose her new book; now that she know how much value it had. So she made up her mind. "Fine, but I'm coming with to keep and eye on my book."

"Do as you please, we just want to copy the pages, then we'll give it back to you." he said. He walked to the Hyaku Shiki's cord and Shinta followed him. Yoko watched him get Shinta onto the cord before taking him up with it.

She too walked over to the mobile suit. "I hope we're trusting the right people…"
