MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM
Shattered Memories
EPISODE ONE Incident on Texas Colony
Prologue
In the near future, due to overpopulation, Earth developed the first outer space colonies known collectively as Side One. Because of this historic event a new calendar was created, marking the special occasion, the year was now referred to as 0001 of the Universal Century. All is well in space for 78 years. Colonies spread throughout the solar system and most of the population was in space. During the UC 0060-79 timeframe the Duchy of Zion built the first bipedal Mobile Suits for combat. However, in UC 0078 Side 3 declares its independence, The New Duchy of Zeon declares war on the Earth Federation and attacks Sides 1,2 and 3 with Nuclear weapons and Biological warfare. This marked the beginning of the One Year War which lasted from January 3rd, UC 0079 to January 1st, UC 0080. This story takes place during the One Year War.
Mobile Suits. No question about it. For a few moments, there was hope, hope that they were Federation, but no such luck ever came around the Texas colony, not after the apocalypse at the beginning of the war. It used to be a thriving colony, now what? A wasteland? A Zeon test site? Goudin seemed to have lost all hope. He put down his binoculars and yelled down off the large boulder he was perched upon.
"Zakus!" Goudin called to his young friend Jeff. "Zakus?..HOLY SHIT!" Jeff screamed as he fell over gnawing at his fist.
Both Goudin and Jeff were tall and kind of nauseated looking. Goudin had a small moustache and brown hair. Jeff had brown hair and hardly any facial hair at all. Jeff climbed up onto the boulder, next to Goudin.
"Here, let me see."Announced Jeff as he grabbed the binoculars. He looked around for awhile but could not see anything.
"Where are the Zakus?" Jeff asked surprised not to see anything. Goudin finally turned his head over to look. "Oh shit!" "Huh? Where are they?" Jeff asked as Goudin jumped off the boulder almost as if it were a reflex. "What the hell?" Jeff slowly moved the binoculars away from his eyes to see two rather large Flight Mode Goufs fly right over his position. "Oh dear god" Jeff mumbled as he dropped the binoculars.
Jeff slid down off the boulder and stared blankly at Goudin. For awhile they didn't say anything , they just started walking back to the village. Either Jeff was mad that Goudin didn't tell him what was happening or he was really badly deafened by the Gouf flying over him. Maybe a little bit of both, but after awhile his hearing came back.
"You son of a bitch." Jeff said, really upset. "What? you had the binoculars." "Shutup..Those weren't even Zakus you dumbass". "Really? What were they then?" Goudin questioned with authority. "Goufs!" "Really? And how would you know that? They just went right past you!" "One of those damn flight skirts almost nailed me.." Jeff said breaking of into a mumble. "Hahahahahahaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Goudin broke off into laughter, something about Jeff almost getting killed always made him laugh. " I wonder why two Goufs would be out here". Jeff coughed out. "Well it must be pretty serious, Goufs aren't commonplace anywhere. They probably are scouting for establishments to take...out.." Before Goudin could finish talking the two were in a sprint towards the village.
It was the only home they ever really new. It really wasn't much but it was one of the only places in the wasteland of the Texas colony that had actual natives. As they ran up to about 400 yards away they could already see smoke and flames. After several hours of finding burnt bodies and pieces, the two just gave up.
"So this is it?" asked Jeff. "Life always screws you over as soon as you learn to live again". "No. This can't be our lives. Why did we just do nothing?" "Because there was nothing we could do. If we came back and warned them in time, which is impossible, we would probably be dead too". "I will have vengeance". Jeff pledged with a glow in his eyes. "Vengeance will not help anyone. You will kill others and ruin others like yourself now. These people we loved died for us. Zeon doesn't know we exist. We are alive. Don't ruin our lives because of this". "What the hell do you think you know? Everything I had was just burnt away! You act like you're some fucking war hero who has seen death but you ain't ! You're like me!" Jeff screamed into Goudins face.
They slept that night and When Goudin awoke Jeff was gone. Goudin spent the rest of the day digging graves or those who died. Amazing, he thought. Not one survivor. After burying all the bodies found, Goudin counted.
"13..." Goudin said aloud. There should be 14, He thought. That must mean someone is still alive! Or missing. Or captured, but what would Zeon want with one of us?
The night came and evidently so did Jeff. The two ate and slept, Jeff had cooled off and found a Zeon base. It was about 17km North East from the village. They decided tomorrow would be a good time to check it out for real. Goudin did not tell Jeff about the missing man, he didn't know why, but it seemed improper at the time. In the morning Goudin awoke first. He decided to check out the supplies. In case of emergency, there was a storage locker underneath the village which contained weapons. Goudin had never seen it, nor had Jeff. It took about half an hour to actually find the damn thing but once Goudin pried off the wooden planks he was very surprised to find a service elevator. To his amazement it still had power and functioned. He went diagonally down into what seemed to be a mechanics bay. The air seemed very hot and humid. Goudin turned on a few lights, he tried to get them all but the switches confused the hell out of him. As soon as the lights flicked on, he found himself staring at a RX-77, three Balls and a half built Zaku. Of course he rushed up and got Jeff. They went down into the Mechanics Bay and viewed at its godsends. "So why is there and old busted up Zaku down here if its a Federation Mech Bay?" Asked Jeff very sleepily. "It was probably captured". Answered Goudin. "Christ, this means we can nail those Goufs and fly the hell outta here".
After two days of hard work the RX-77 was ready. It had some problems but it all seemed to be OK. Getting the actual Mobile Suit out of the Mechanics Bay was a completely different task though. The Mobile Suit Service Elevator was plain dead. Eventually the cut a hole in the ceiling with the Zakus Beam Sword and flew the RX-77 out. It was no easy task but they had a RX-77 on the ground that worked and thank god, Goudin, who actually knew how to pilot it. They new with such a large Mobile Suit out in the open they didn't have much time.
Jeff perched on the RX-77's shoulder while he looked though the binoculars at the lights on the distance. The Zeon base.
"Why don't you use the RX-77 Beam Rifle Scope?" Goudin asked. "I'm an old fashioned guy. You should know that. Holy hell that's huge". Exclaimed Jeff. "What?" Goudin asked. There was no response. That bastard. He climbed into the cockpit of the RX-77 and looked through the scope. Now that was one big Mobile Suit. EPISODE TWO THE NUCLEAR MINEFIELD COMING SOON
