PROLOGUE

In the year 0079 of the Universal Century, a great war between the Earth Federation and the Duchy of Zeon had erupted. The war had lasted one year, and was considered the most devastating events in history. Many people had lost their lives to achieve peace.

During the war in the Side 6 colony of Libot, a boy named Al Izuruha had dreamt about space battles between the Zeon and the Federation, but when he had experienced what true war was like, his dreams became nightmares. Every night he would think of what happened to his friend.

"Bernie! Bernie! You don't have to fight the Gundam anymore!" Al yelled to Bernie's Mobile Suit, hoping he would hear.

He still had nightmares even when he was 14 years old. Long past the day it happened.

Al met Bernie when his Zaku Mobile Suit was shot down in Al's colony. He saw the battle right from his school building, and after seeing the Zaku go down, he skipped the rest of his classes to see the Mobile Suit.

It was the first time Al had seen a real life Mobile Suit other than in the news, so was definitely excited. When he saw the Zaku up close he was still trying to comprehend what he was seeing. The feeling was indescribable. At that moment Al heard a click, and turned around. There was the Zeon soldier holding a gun to Al.

Al still can't forget the day he met Bernie or the day he died, but he definitely tries to. He couldn't get over the feeling that Bernie died because of him, because he told him to fight the Gundam.

Now that day was long gone, it is now UC 0087. It's been four years after the creation of the Titans organization, by the Federation, to destroy all the last remnants of Zeon. Several groups and colonies have spoken out against the Titans, but have died trying. Only the AEUG (Anti-Earth Union Group) have had minor success over the Titans. Once again there is war in the pocket.
