In a world of war and famine, a utopia sits far away from the bloodshed, its citizens unaware of the tragedies taking place across the universe. A group of fighters, including Megan, Ray, Kai and Tala, are rescued from the middle of the fighting and brought back to Amenia. But living in a utopia isn't as great as it seems. Corrupt leaders are disturbing the delicate balance and a war is still being fought. Megan, Ray, Kai and Tala, along with Amenian natives, Tyson, Max, Kenny and Hilary, must step up and save humanity from themselves.

Chapter 1
Megan panted as she rounded a corner. She peered around to check for pursuers, but only saw her squad-mates joining her. She looked at the rubble city that was once the great city of New York.
The year was 2375. A war had been ravishing the world for the past 300 years between humans and a new species, the Javas. The Javas were advanced humans. They were created by a scientist in the late 21st Century in response to a rapid loss of human life due to the deteriorating atmosphere. They looked completely human, but actually had their genes tweaked in order to survive more harsher environments. They could also process things at a much faster rate then the normal human, creating geniuses. The humans, feeling inferior, tried to squash the sudden increase in their populations. The human race suddenly divided in half, one side supporting the Javas, the other wanting to eliminate them. Unfortunately, many cities were turned to rumble in the ensuing battles. Most places in the world were no longer safe and everyone was either fighting or hiding. Javas were kept out of the battle as the humans who backed them wanted to end this human to human. But the fighting went on for days, then months, years, decades, centuries, and now a 300 years had past with no end in sight...
"We in the clear?" Ray questioned silently as their squad crouched down low against the building.
"For now." Megan nodded, turning back to their squad. Including her, there was only 5 others. Ray Kon, a Chinese National, was an expert in hand-to-hand combat and a First Sergeant in the Marine Corp. He had short spiky black hair and golden hazel eyes. Mystel Clearwater, an Italian National, was an expert in covert operations and a Staff Sergeant in the Marine Corp. He had short bright blond hair and ocean blue eyes. Kane Yamashita, a Japanese National, was an expert in heavy weapons and a Gunnery Sergeant in the Marine Corp. He had semi long dark blue hair and dark cobalt blue eyes. Tala Valkov, a Russian National, was an expert in demolitions and a Master Gunnery Sergeant in the Marine Corp. He had bright red spiky hair and piercing green eyes. And then Kai Hiwatari, their leader. He was a Russian National, an all around fighter and had dark grey hair and stormy grey eyes and a Master Gunnery Sergeant in the Marine Corp as well. Megan David herself was an Israeli National, an expert in sharp shooting and had long curly dark navy blue hair and dark amethyst eyes and was a First Sergeant in the Marine Corp.
"Alright," Kai started, starting up their hologram map. "We need to meet up with Brooklyn's squad and push the front-lines forward to regain the land we lost last week." He pointed out their location on the map, the old midtown area of what used to be the great New York City. He then trailed his finger across the island, towards what used to be Queens. "Brooklyn is here now, trying to push the Resentment back into Long Island were Ozuma's team is hopefully surviving for now. We lost contact with them earlier this morning." Kai looked into each face, looking for any sign that hope and determination had left his squad's faces. When he saw none, he smirked. "Lets do this, huh?"
"Hell ya." Tala smirked at his best friend. "Julia will only be too excited to see my handsome face."
Megan groaned and rolled her eyes. "Shove it Tala. Jewels will only punch you if you distract her." The squad let out a hushed laughter at the banter.
"What ever Meg." Tala rolled his eyes. "You're just jealous is all."
"Sure, what ever gets you through the night handsome." Megan drawled sarcastically. "Lets go already." Megan got up and started walking away.
Kai smirked as he followed Megan back out on the street. "Yea, lets go handsome." Kai teased.
Tala grumbled but followed his best friend and squad leader as Kane, Mystel and Ray followed, all silently chuckling to themselves.
Megan led the pack, Kai trusting her judgement to analyze a situation and react the fastest. Her deep purple eyes scanned the area before she stepped into it, analyzing every speck of dust for a threat.
Kai followed Megan's exact footprints, well aware that there might be land mines all around them and knowing that Megan was instinctually avoiding them. He was born into this job. They all were. They all grew up back in their home countries, going to academies that the Union had set up to train soldiers for battle. Once they graduated, based on their scores, they were assigned squads and placed where they were most needed. Their original squad had had a total of 20 people, but they lost member after member in the dangerous city. Kai, holding the next highest score out of the remaining members and being the only really willing member to take charge, became squad leader after the last one died in battle.
Tala watched his surroundings, all joking aside and totally serious now. He had a hand hovering over one of his handy grenades, always ready to throw it at a moments notice. The sad thing was that the Union was so desperate to get soldiers that many of them were young like this squad. Kai and Tala were the oldest at 24, Ray and Kane were 23, Megan 21 and Mystel 20.
Ray hung back, always watching the squad's back. His senses were on high alert, looking, like Megan, at every speck of dust for danger. He always wondered that with the shortage of soldiers, why didn't the Union draw upon the Javas? They were smart and dangerous if trained properly. Their genes had been tweaked to survive almost anything. He could understand the need to safe keep them and protect them from harm, they were the future of humanity, but with them on the battlefield, they could be the missing key to ending the war.
Megan's sharp senses suddenly picked up on something and she stop, holding her fist up. The squad stopped immediately, stretching their senses to pick up on what Megan had already noticed.
Kai stepped up silently and slowly so that he was directly behind Megan and could see everything that she could see. Finally Kai noticed a figure moving in the shadows far beyond the intersection they had just come to. He was skilled alright, Kai had to admit. It took Kai a second to notice him. Kai's hand moved silently behind his back and gave his squad the signal to attack.
But the guy was quick. He knew that he was made and went for the offensive first, hoping to at least take down a couple before he was killed. Kai noticed first this time and took his hand, pushing down on Megan's head, forcing them both to crouch as the squad was already in motion. Kai held Megan's head close to his chest for a moment as a spew of bullets started flying over their heads, the squad taking out the man.
"Is he all?" Kane asked, gun still poised to attack. Kai and Megan stood up slowly, their eyes looking around.
"For now." Megan nodded. Then she turned to Kai and smiled. "Thanks Master Guns." Kai chuckled.
"No problem Serg." Kai nodded. "Lets keep going." Same as before, Megan led, with Kai following and Ray bringing up the rear. They came upon the bridge that would take them across the river and into Queens.
"Wait." Megan whispered. She had a sinking feeling in her gut.
"See something?" Ray asked quietly. In the distance they could hear Brooklyn's squad fighting and even see some small bombs going off.
"No, but my gut is telling me something's wrong." Megan's dark purple eyes looked over to her right as Kai stood next to her. His stormy grey eyes surveyed the area and he was weighing his options.
"We will go ahead but watch your backs." Kai finally decided after a minute of silence. "Brooklyn knows we are coming, but be warned that they are in the midst of battle right now. Make sure they don't mistake you as an enemy."
The squad nodded and headed over the bridge and into Queens. As they got closer and closer though, the bad feeling in Megan's stomach started increasing with intensity. But she shoved down the emotion and concentrated on the mission at hand. She knew that there would be 6 of their fighters on the other side of the river. Brooklyn Kingston, Julia Fernandez, her brother Raul, Garland Siebald, Dunga Torres and Miguel Wilson. Julia was her best friend as they both went to the Middle East Marine Corp Academy together, along with her brother. Brooklyn and Garland, his second-in-command, were best friends, Miguel was quiet and Dunga was best friends with Ozuma, so Megan was sure that he would be fighting extra hard today in order to reach his friend.
As they reached the end of the bridge though, chaos broke out.
"What the-?" Kane shouted. From the sky, multiple humanoid robot shapes were dropping from the sky. Ray looked up and noticed the symbol of the Resentment on the plane that they were dropping from.
"Hostiles!" He shouted and the squad scattered, all going in different directions as the robots hit the ground.
Megan sprinted for cover in the rumble. She watched as the humanoid robots touched down. Sure she had heard of the suits of armor pilots drove, but she had never seen them before. They were pure black from head to toe and were basically a suit of armor, but with tons of guns and other weapons mounted on the shoulders and hips. But they stood 15 ft tall and the cockpit was in the chest.
The mobile suit started chewing up the surrounding area with their bullets right away. Obviously they didn't care if they killed one of their own. Megan ducked again as a spew of bullets rushed over her head. She ran for better cover and started pulling out her sniper rifle, putting it together. She set it up and placed the muzzle in a small hole in the middle of the brick wall she was behind.
She looked through the scope and tracked one of the suits as it was advancing on Mystel who was trying to shoot the weak spots in the armor, but his handgun wasn't powerful enough. Megan's trained eyes tracked the movement and shot a well placed bullet into the middle of the cockpit, the force of her bullet easily penetrating the armor like swiss cheese.
The suit slowly fell to the ground as the pilot died. As it hit the ground, the other mobile suits looked right over the courtyard, right at Megan.
"Ah shit." Megan cursed. Like lightning, she packed up her sniper rifle and pulled out one of her handguns and a grenade. She ran like hell as the ground was chewed up by bullets behind her.
"Meg!" A voice shouted. Megan's purple eyes sought out Tala's green eyes and she made a beeline for him as he chucked a bomb over her head and towards her 3 pursuers. "Duck!" Megan lunged and hit the ground, covering her head. She felt the earth shake and the resulting shock-wave push her towards Tala, who caught her and held her down. "Shesh Meg." Tala teased. "You're light as a twig!" Megan punched him in the gut and they quickly sought cover as more mobile suits attacked.
Megan was small though. She was only 5'3" and had a slim, thin frame. Even though she was packed with muscle, she was still only about 120 lbs, while Tala was at least 6'3" and 210 lbs. Same for Kai and Ray while Kane and Mystel were slimmer then that.
"We need to go at them head on, or they will just corner us and overwhelm us." Megan said as yet again they had to move as the mobile suits were closing in.
"You mean attack them with our fists?" Tala shouted, outraged.
"Not with our fists you idiot." Megan grumbled. "There are weak spots in the armor. Mostly around the neck. There are openings just wide enough for a grenade. Throwing them would do us no good, cause they can just hit them away, but if we jam them in the openings..."
"They'll go boom!" Tala finished, suddenly very excited. Well he did like fire and explosions. Megan smirked.
"Exactly. Ready?" Megan asked and Tala nodded. In a flash they were both up and running at full speed. The dodged and evaded the bullets flying at them, making their way towards a group of 5 of them. Megan dropped to the ground, sliding underneath one of them, Then she jumped up and locked her legs around the waist of the suit. The pilot was twisting and turning the suit, trying to throw her off. She caught a glimpse of Tala in the same bind, but concentrated on herself and her situation. Megan held on tighter and wrapped an arm around the suit's shoulder as her free hand dug into her pocket, finding a grenade. With her teeth, she pulled out the pin and then jammed the grenade in the opening between the neck and the shoulder.
Megan went to jump off the machine, but her jacket sleeve got stuck in one of the groves of the metal plating armor. Megan's eyes flew open in shock and fear. She only had seconds before the grenade in her face went off. She tried pulling her jacket out of the groove, but it wouldn't budge. Megan grimaced, knowing what she would have to do. She unzipped her jacket, having to leave behind her backpack as it was wrapped up in her jacket. As she was about to jump she heard the ticking pick up speed and she just barely cleared the mobile suit when the grenade went off, her light body flying through the air and slamming into a brick wall.
Wind rushed from her lungs and into the air, leaving Megan breathless and with no oxygen. Megan tried to bring oxygen back into her lungs at the same time that she was trying to staunch the blood pouring from a deep gash on her thigh and the blood trickling from right above her eyes.
"Megan!" She heard someone shout from her right. She tried to look over, but a sudden intense migraine over came her and she had to shut her eyes in pain. And slowly she felt herself slip away as she heard a gun cock in her direction.
So, what do you guys think? Please review! :D
