Note: This is my first Fan Fiction please review and I want criticism but don't be too mean. It's a little confusing at first but by the end of this chapter most of it will make sense. There are a lot of secrets that come with the OC's character but in the end of it all the secrets will be seen.
Disclaimer: I don't anything about Gundam
Chapter One
He saw her being pushed into the capsule her long brown hair swaying with her body. It danced into the machine and the door slammed. It was now his turn he hadn't had second thoughts till now. He knew if she wasn't already asleep he wouldn't be able to go through with it. He felt the same hands that pushed her pushing him, he got one last look at this world with his maroon eyes before he felt the cold air come over him and his eyes shut.
The doctors didn't know what to do. The two bodies had been found in connected life pods, however both were asleep in some sort of life sustaining substance. When they had been released both were gasping for air but neither of them had stayed conscious long enough for the doctors to get anything out of them.
This facility was one of the many hidden buildings in this supposedly neutral colony named Heliopolis. It was a supposed to be a peaceful place where Naturals and Coordinators could live together. This colony was controlled by Orb one of the few neutral nations left on Earth. On this colony the idea of neutrality was lost among some people who were secretly here working on new weapons for the Earth Alliance. In one of these building is where the two young people were being held.
The doctors had been watching their vitals for an hour or so, when the boy woke up. It was more sudden than expected and his waking up shocked the doctor that was standing near him. His maroon eyes looked at everything and everyone in the room. His muscles tense as he realized the restrains on him. He was frantic his raven colored hair that went passed his ears swished around as he moved his head around trying to see everything around him.
"Where is she?" His memory was foggy but he could remember enough about that day many years ago. "Where is she?" he asked again. He looked around the room. Everyone just stared at him blankly. At that moment he realized that he had been talking in his native language a language that must be long forgotten by now. His Middle Easter dialect came to him before any other. He was staring to think straight again and soon switched to the common language he heard them speaking. "Where is she?"
The doctor then walked up and said, "We have her in another room" she looked at him closely and continued, "She hasn't woken up yet but she is fine. Can you remember your name?" At this point she dismissed the first language that came from his mouth.
"I need to see her. I need to know she is alright." This girl was the only thing that was on his mind right now. He even forgot to ask the basic question of where he was.
"If you are willing to talk to us about who are then I'll bring you to her" The doctor said. She was wearing a long white coat and her brown straight hair went passed shoulders. She had very tired eyes but the young man could see that she was desperate for the answer that he was not excited to give to her.
"My name is Setsuna F. Seiei", he said this calmly. His eyes starting to relax his body less tense at the knowing her would be seeing her soon.
"Do you know where you are?" she paused "or rather when you are?"
"No" he simply said.
"We found you floating in space, you were in a life capsule of sorts and your friend was also in one. Her capsule and yours were connected. Both of you were in a state of suspension in a substance that we have yet to identify." She sighed, "What were you doing in the capsule."
"I don't know" he stated in a cold tone.
The doctor thought to herself as she studied the young man in front of her. The doctor has seen many pictures of the races of Earth; however people now are so mixed with so much different blood no one looks like one particular race. However this boy looked like someone from the Middle East the more she thought about it the more she could see the resemblance of that dead race in this young man.
He noticed how she was looking at him and after some time that was filled with silence he spoke up, "Is it possible if I saw her now?"
"Yes, release him from the restraints" the doctor said to one the nurses in the room. "Let him see the girl."
The doctor quickly walked out of the room. Hoping that the boy wasn't dangerous but also she still couldn't understand how this boy looked like someone that should have been around 400 years ago. His looks along with girls were too unique for anyone of this time. It was as strange as the substance that they were found in. This substance must have preserved them in some way and the fact that he spoke a language that he had never heard before. Being a coordinator herself she knew many languages and could recognize almost all them. She needed this knowledge to be a doctor. That language that he spoke was something that was a dead language. She headed to her office and began typing fiercely looking for the dead languages of many hundreds of years before her time.
Setsuna walked into the room where his companion was still sleeping on the same type of table he had been on. She was also dressed in the same hospital clothes that he was wearing. She looked peaceful there on the table. Her skin still had that tinge of olive that he remembered. Her hair was also as curly as ever and it slightly hung off the table. He looked at her for a few minutes hoping and wanting her to wake up soon.
The nurses or doctors in the room were moving around them Setsuna didn't care to notice really what they were doing. One of them then said, "Alright boys let's see if we can get her to wake up."
Everyone got into their spots Setsuna realized, but he just kept on standing there just far enough away so he couldn't touch her. He had felt weak before but he was getting weaker and weaker. He needed to sit as he thought back to the day this all started.
"Setsuna, Maggiemae remember that when you wake you will be very weak. Your will keep as much muscle as possible however they will still deteriorate somewhat also your memory might be a little foggy at first but don't fear it will all come back to you before long."
Her hair was rustling around our heads as they slowly floated towards their metals beds. Then he saw his hands push her.
Tieria's words ran through his head as he realized he needed to sit. One of the other doctors in the room must have seen how tired he looked because before Setsuna even asked a doctor came over with a folding chair and told Setsuna "Why don't you take it easy huh?"Setsuna nodded his head in agreement. At this point he was only still awake because he had to see her wake up. He had to know that she was in fact okay.
When he thought he couldn't stay awake any longer he finally saw it she opened her eyes. Her beautiful brown eyes at that exact moment he slumped over in his chair. The doctor brought in a cot and put him on it leaving him to sleep next the girl he seemed to care so much for.
Three months later
Setsuna woke up at his usual time it was much earlier than his roommate did. He slowly moved from his bed to his bathroom and eventually to his closet. He put on the clothes he planned for that day it was supposed to a mild day today. He thought about that as he slipped on his black pants and adorned his cream colored tee-shirt. He crept through the apartment not wanting to wake the light sleeper in the room next to his. It contained his companion, his friend, and someone he will be happy to always live with.
He waited one minute at the door and listened before he left the apartment, sometimes he wished that Maggiemae would wake up and take a morning walk with him, however this scene never played out like he wanted it to.
Walking was always a good time for Setsuna to think about his and Maggiemae's situation. The two had been living on this colony for three months now. The two of them were stuck there. They had no transport and the only why could is if they had clearance to the ships. To get this clearance pass they needed a job which put them in school. Maggiemae still had her communication device so they would be able to make their way back to their ship hidden inside the Debris Belt. Maggiemae had made contact with the Haros aboard the ship. They had kept it going and kept it safe.
One thing that had been bothering Setsuna lately is the fact that they were even off that ship to begin with. How he and Maggiemae had been launched from the ship really worried him. It was something that was constantly running through his head. Maggie sometimes just seemed so carefree about all of this. For once she seemed happy. Maybe he should be too. As she told him time and time again there is no war yet. Maybe he should just relax.
About an hour had passed and by this morning and Setsuna was on his way home he would cook breakfast for Maggiemae this morning and then the two of them would meet up with their friends before going on to their classes. The doctors who found the two of them helped to find a place for them to live a place to go to school. They got I.D. cards with their codenames on them. They were official citizens of Orb.
They had learned a lot from being here only three months. They learned about the destruction of the orbital elevators and how colonies were as common as living on Earth. The power crisis had been solved with the use of wind power. The amount of wind turbines that were on the planet kept the entire world powered almost free of charge. The world has changed but not enough he thought by this point there should be no things called Armies or Military at all.
One thing about this world that he has learned is that no one uses the power of solar furnaces at all anymore. People seemed to have forgotten about them or just decided that they should the technology their countries actually develop without help from an outside source. Setsuna also wondered about the differences between Naturals and Coordinator because he himself is classified as a Natural just a seemingly talented one. He and Maggiemae both were able to pick up on things almost as fast as their Coordinator friend Kira Yamato did. Just that fact they knew he was a coordinator was something very hard to pick up on. People around them didn't really notice because asking someone if they were a Coordinator didn't happen that often.
Maggiemae opened the door to the deck connected to their kitchen, just as Setsuna was getting to the apartment; she was waiting for him something that didn't normally happen.
"I got up early!" I heard her yell "I made you breakfast" she smiled as she said this. She was always smiling I don't know how she did either. After everything she has gone through I really don't know she managed. She killed just as many people as I did in her own country.
"Hurry up we have to eat quick" she said as I got closer to the door. She looked very nice today wearing one of her plain V-necks. She was also wearing her very cute tight grey jeans. Her hair was curly mess that I doubt she will fix. After she does something like cook she is a mess for the day.
"Alright" He said as finally snapped out of his thoughts completely
They ate their breakfast together words passing between them. It was always easy for Setsuna to talk to this girl. She experienced similar things as he did when he was child. Really more than that was the fact that this brown eyed girl really understood him and something about maybe her smile made him want to talk. She loved being everyone's friend.
"Everyone I would like to introduce the final Gundam Meister her code name is Maggiemae Arkian."
"Hi everyone!" she yelled to all of us even though we were in close proximity of each other. "I really hope we can get along well. I know we are not here to make friends but I just hope we can be able to laugh with each sometimes. Ya know?"
Setsuna looked at her closely and noticed that she had some scars here and there and the fact that she was even younger than he was kind of frighten him. He didn't think a girl of her age should be fighting in a Gundam.
Lockon starred at her the longest truly shocked by her age. "How old are you?" he asked this is because he needed to know how far Veda would go to find suitable pilots.
"I'm thirteen" she smiled and then walked away going to find her room.
The two young people left their place once they had their small laptops in their bags. The two walked through the colony heading towards the usual meeting place for Maggie, Setsuna and a group of their friends. The gazebo was always nice and always seemed to have someone they knew in it.
"Kira!" Maggie yelled as she ran towards him. "How are you today? Did you finish that homework? The Doc gave you me and Setsuna a lot last night I barely even finished it all." She paused for a moment just long enough to take a deep breath. "I made Setsuna and me breakfast this morning it was so tasty. I'll have to invite you over next time I am cooking something good. You would like that right Kira?" before he had time to answer any of questions she answer the last one for herself "well I'm sure you would like to come over but you should bring someone too then it will be even" as she said the last statement as she looked over at Setsuna.
"Thank you for the offer Maggie" Kira said as he chuckled because of his hyperactive friend "but maybe we can talk more in a little bit I have a few things that I need to finish before we start classes okay?" he asked her this knowing that her short attention span was probably already onto something new entirely.
"Okay Kira" she yelled that to him as she was starting to creep up on Kira's robot pet bird. It was sitting on a branch in a nearby tree. She loved to try and get it. Setsuna always thought that it reminded her of a Haro. Setsuna watched her silently as he always did not wanting to interrupt her fun. While he watched two more of their friends walked up to them. It was Miriallia Haw and boyfriend Tolle Koenig. They all went to school together which they would need to be leaving for soon. Before their presence was known to Setsuna, Mir whispered in Setsuna's ear "You know you have to do more than live with her to really be with her" she grasped Tolle's arm after she said this. Mir notices once Setsuna and Maggie became friends with them of Setsuna's feeling towards Maggie. She however seemed to be the only one who noticed and enjoyed teasing him about it.
Kira finally looked up from his work it was essentially done. Maybe it wasn't as good as he could do but it would be good enough for now. He looked up at his friends and was happy to see naturals, and what he assumed were coordinators, Maggie and Setsuna are able to get along so well. He was also pleased with himself for being able to get so close to these people, with there being no worries about being a coordinator.
All of the sudden Mir spoke up "Have you heard about the space port near us being taken over by ZAFT forces?" She made the announcement to the group like a radio broadcast.
No one had seen Maggie looking more serious than she was now the thought of any more fighting brought a different part of her out "Are you certain Mir?" she asked her close friend. The only person there who had ever seen Maggie really act serious was Setsuna.
It was just Maggiemae and Setsuna in the changing room waiting to do a test run of their new Gundam. When Maggie talked about something that Setsuna was surprised to hear, "You know I have to kill that princess right, Setsuna?" She stared straight into his eyes.
All Setsuna could do was look away not wanting to think about how he must stop her.
He looked at her hoping she wouldn't just freak out right there in front of everyone. She found his eyes and realized what she couldn't do that just yet at least. Out of nowhere just as her last question had been "Aren't we gonna be late if we wait much longer?" Maggiemae asked.
The other teens looked at her. "She is right" Setsuna then said still keeping eye contact with the brown eyed beauty.
They all agreed and started heading for the automatic cars that would take them to school they were all attending. The school was the colonies engineering college. The class was made of a few different ages Setsuna was the oldest being 21, Tolle was the second oldest at 19 years old and Mir was 18 along with Maggie and Kira was the youngest of them all being 16. They were almost at the car station when they ran into Sai Argyle's, a boy in their classes' girlfriend Fllay Allster.
The two groups of teens stopped to talk for a minute right before they were saying good bye a group of older people walked by them. The lady in the lead bumped into Kira as she walked through the group apologizing as she went. Something about the people who walked by remind Setsuna and Maggie about when they first got to the colony.
Once the next car came the classmates jumped in and began their ride to school. They entered their class room and were happy to see that their teacher wasn't their yet and since they were all late they didn't get in any trouble. The person who was there was Sai he was always on time. He was also on the older end of the class being 20 years old. He was one of the few people of the time to still be wearing glasses.
There was also a guest in the room. The figure stood by the door and could have been male or female. Kira saw the visitor first, eventually everyone else did too. Before they could get any information out of the stranger standing in the room with them, they heard something and then they felt it. It was an explosion. Everyone was in shock. The question running through everyone's head was isn't this a neutral colony?
