Hey! I, the Preacher, have decided to broaden my talent into the category of Gundam Wing. This is my first
Gundam fic, and I hope that if you take the time to read this (thanks if you do ^_^) that if you like it you
will review. So, enjoy the story of….
THE SIXTH GUNDAM?
Dedicated to Laires, who is my co-author (he gives all the inspiration), and Hermann, for moral
support.
The year is After Colony 196. Oz is defeated, but on Earth, a new force is arising. These leaders, taking
over small portions of Earth, call themselves the Sons of OZ. Led by General Gattling, these forces of
mixed troops conquered much of the undefended world. But rebel citizens used technology from past
battles to form suits of their own for fighting the Sons of OZ. One of these suits, developed by rebels in
Great Britain, is the Hermes.
Hunter Jackson was sitting on the open cockpit of his mobile suit. The young pilot, just 14, was a veteran
matched only by the Gundam Pilots and Zechs Marquees. But Hunter had his own agenda. The Sons of Oz
soldiers had a hold on what was formerly Britain, and the teen was determined to break that hold.
General Gattling was asleep when a phone call came in for him. The secretary hesitated, then decided to
wake him. The man on the line was Colonel Marauder, who was the chief officer of operations in Europe.
"There'd better be a good reason for waking me this early in the morning, Colonel." Gattling growled into
the phone. "There is, General. We have picked up contacts with a renegade suit, perhaps a Gundam."
Marauder's voice was calm, but there was a small portion of fear showing through. "Impossible. We have
tabs on all the Gundams. There are none even close to your area. Destroy the suit, and no mess-ups.
Understood?" Marauder's voice had no fear in it now. "Yes, General. Our Leo forces shall hit the suit
tomorrow at 800 hours.
Leo unit 15 was planning for a routine strike on faction forces, as they had been briefed. They were
confused, however, when only one target showed on their radar systems. A blood-red suit burst out of the
trees in front of them. The entire right arm was a giant shield, held in front of the chest defensively. The left
arm held a flail that ended in a beam blade. The shoulders harbored gating guns, which came into the battle
blazing. The first five units saw the shield move off of the chest, revealing a package of missiles. The
leading Leos never knew what snuffed them out. Hunter was only getting warmed up. "Okay, Hermes, let's
show them what you can do!" Hunter used Hermes' beam flail to take out the nearest Leo, then the
shoulder guns on another. The missiles had reloaded, and the rest of the 15th unit fell to a barrage of
missiles.
"What do you mean, wiped out?! The entire 15th unit destroyed by a single mobile suit? I don't believe it!"
Colonel Marauder was in a towering rage. The 15th unit was the best he had, reserved only for strikes on the
renegades. "Sir, the recovery units have found no survivors and minimal salvage." The radio operator
stated. "Fine! We're going to take more drastic measures! Get me the research hotline, NOW!" The
operator opened a channel to the suit development center. "Colonel Marauder, sir, a pleasure to see you."
Marauder wasn't in a good mood. "Lieutenant Star, spare me the pleasantries. I want to know how progress
on the Sagittarius mobile suit." Star looked rather happy as he spoke. "Colonel, sir, the suit should be ready
this afternoon. However, we are still missing a pilot." "No need to search for a pilot any longer, Lieutenant,
I'm going to take it into battle."
The Sagittarius Mobile suit was only a prototype, but a very powerful suit in the right hands. The suit was
slightly taller than a Leo, and had large, sweeping wings. The Sagittarius had two main weapons, a beam
sword and a Dober gun. The main skill it had, however, was the ability to jam enemy radar systems, which
gave it the element of surprise. The head was identical to that of a Leo, save for the lack of green paint. The
silver suit stood gleaming in the sunlight as Colonel Marauder strapped himself into the cockpit. Sagittarius
got off to a shaky start, but soon leveled out, heading for the spot Hermes was last seen.
"And it even works on tough stains"**** "One a day is all it takes"**** Duo was idly flipping through
channels on Howard's television. The old technician had been kind enough to repair DeathScythe again,
and Duo thought it would be best just to stay out of the way. He stopped on a Sons of OZ news report. "The
red suit, possible a Gundam, took out an entire unit of our forces. We cannot at this stage confirm the suit's
origin, but if it is a Gundam, we intend to uphold the safety of the citizens and destroy it." A man
announced. 'A sixth Gundam?' Duo thought. 'I'm going to have to check this out.' Duo borrowed one of
the mobile suit transports Howard had in stock and took off towards former Great Britain.
Hunter was asleep in the Hermes' cockpit when he was jolted awake by an explosion. Hunter made a radar
check, showing nothing. 'That means two things,' Hunter thought. 'Either there was an explosion big
enough to shake me awake, or…' dread ran through hunters brain like liquid death. 'Someone's jamming
the radar!' Hunter tried to get a visual on the source of the explosion as another blast rattled his teeth. He
thought he saw something, but it vanished the moment he glimpsed it. Hunter couldn't fight, his only
alternative was to run. Hermes moved into a run, before heading into a relatively enclosed canyon, perfect
for avoiding whoever was shooting. The only problem was, that person was already there. A winged, silver
suit was midway in the canyon. Hunter barely saw the Dober gun before he was thrown back from its
blasts. Hermes' armor was reduced to pulp as Hunter was beaten unconscious.
Duo had been directed to Hermes by the large craters that marked where the Dober gun had hit. Finding the
blood-red suit was a shock; the pilot inside was nearly killed. Duo managed to get the pilot out and get him
medical attention. Duo took time to examine the suit while the pilot, his dog tags read "Hunter Jackson",
recovered. The suit was not made of Gundanium, but the shield and flail were. The symbol on one shoulder
was a picture of the Greek god Hermes, who was believed to have power over the dead. 'Fitting.' Duo
smirked. Below the symbol, purple letters bore the name Hermes. Duo ran a finger over them before he
used DeathScythe to move Hermes into the suit transport.
Hunter woke to find a boy about his age with long, braided hair sitting by his bed. Hunter was mildly
surprised. He realized he was in a hospital bed, and that he had some mild injuries, which were covered in
bandages. Hunter and Duo gazed at each other for several seconds before Duo came up with something to
say. "You took a pretty bad beating out there, is it Hunter?" Hunter nodded in silence. "It takes more than
that to kill me." Hunter found his voice. "What happened? Your suit was capable of taking out most
obstacles." Hunter grimaced. "The Hermes has one weakness. It survives on its radar. The other suit had a
jamming system. I couldn't even see where it was." Duo smiled. "Well, I know a guy who'll fix your suit
up and install an anti-jamming system for, well, a couple hundred thousand." Hunter raised a curious
eyebrow. "Where can you get a deal that good?" Duo's smile broadened. "From the same guy who made
the Tallgeese."
Hunter was, to say the least, shocked at Howard's repair bay. He had never seen so many technicians and
so much technology in one place, not even where Hermes was designed. Hunter's old clothes were rather
torn and stained, but Duo helped him pick out a new wardrobe. Hunter was decked out in a white tee shirt,
blue jeans, and to top it all, a World War II fighter pilot's coat. Hunter was pleased with the new look, he
thought it suited him. Hermes was getting a makeover too. The blood red paint that was chipped and
rubbed off was replaced with a shining new coat. Howard took the liberty of installing an anti-jamming
system, and the shield got a makeover too. The arm that normally held the shield had a simple lock system,
allowing two positions, open and closed. Howard made a new design that allowed the arm to bend in
almost any direction, allowing more freedom in battle. Hunter waited impatiently; knowing that every
minute he wasted the Suns of OZ was taking down rebels like him. Finally, Hunter came to the day he
would fight Sagittarius.
"Sir, we're getting a blip in the area the red suit was last seen." "And there's a message coming through on
open channels. Should I play it?" The radio operator and his cohort were startled that the Captain chose to
listen. "Attention Sons of OZ. This is the mobile suit Hermes. I challenge your prototype-jamming suit to a
duel of honor. Come armed." The speaker made the last words harsh. Marauder wasn't fazed. "Get me the
Sagittarius! I want her fully operational NOW!"
Hunter was waiting for the other suit to arrive. Marauder was shocked to see Hermes looking up at him. He
had had cloaking on the whole way. How? The chest shield moved. Inside Sagittarius, a message flashed
on the screen. WARNING: LOCK ON SAGITTARIUS. Marauder swore aloud. He punched the throttle,
and shot away from the missiles, then picked off them by using the Dober gun to cause a chain reaction.
Marauder then took the aggressive stance, shooting at Hermes. Hunter took some blows, but not much of
the damage was threatening. Hunter shot off a few more missiles, doing damage to the right wing, and
grounding Sagittarius. Hunter used the flail to rip the Dober gun from Sagittarius' grip, then he emptied the
missiles onto it. Hunter was shocked to see Sagittarius had survived, but it was badly damaged. Sagittarius
drew a beam sword from the left wing. The radio in Hunter's cockpit buzzed, and Marauder's voice came
through. "Hermes, you were lucky to beat me this far. But Saber is my weapon of choice! En Garde!"
Marauder lunged at Hermes, who sidestepped, and swung the flail at Sagittarius' unprotected back.
Sagittarius got up, and Hunter launched the flail's beam blade at its head, only for it to be stopped in mid
flight by Sagittarius' hand, which caught it five feet from hitting the head. "I have your weapon, Hermes.
You lose." Marauder's voice was gleeful. "Not so fast, buddy. I haven't played my trump card yet." Hunter
pushed a small button on the arm control panel. Marauder saw the beam blade extend the extra ten feet it
needed into the head before he could react. "Quote Zechs Marquees. 'Now the victory's MINE!'" Hunter
yelled as Sagittarius was engulfed in a ball of flame.
The End?
I think not.
Next, on the Hunter Saga: Lieutenant Star strikes, and a meeting between him and Hunter is
imminent. Also, a two new prototypes are developed, and the battles is on for peace in Britain. Next, on the
Hunter Saga episode two: The Visora Suit
Well, that sounds good, no? Leave 5 reviews for a sequel!
