Authors Note: Well it took some time and a LOT of thinking but I managed to get this chapter out! Everyone this is the re-written version of Team Blazbladers now called Metropolis: City of Mutants. Think of it as a spin off of Raiyne the Hedgehog's Academy for Mutants but in my case things are going to be a lot different even thou both stories share their similarities.
For this version of the story I decided to focus more on nationalities of the characters and at the end the next few chapters there will be a brief introduction of our main cast of characters (With the exception of this one). I'm not going to give any spoilers in the character introduction but I will give some information on them. Also, like the last story, Raiyne the Hedgehog gave me her permission to use her OC's for this story. Also the genres of this story are mainly Scy-fy, Mecha, Romance and Friendship.
At the bottom of this chapter you will see some terminology for this fic. It's not much but it will help with the concept of this story.
Well hope all of you enjoy the newer version of this story. Please review if you can and give me your thoughts on this.
Disclaimer: I own nothing of the Sonic Universe, that goes to SEGA.
Mutants had always lived among the humans. Those creatures you sometimes read in mythology books and the legends you read about monsters, humans with immense strength and the supposed sons of gods, they were all mutants. They have lived in secret for thousands of years, blending with the human society as if nothing was wrong with them. For many years, they were just considered myths only stories you would only see in children's books or any form of literature. They thought that they could continue living among humans, just as they had all those centuries before.
That peace was shattered…when humans discovered their kind.
It was a never ending sea of blood, humans naturally fear what they cannot understand. They express that fear by lashing out at that which they do not understand. Mutants were considered the natural enemy of humans. If one was born a mutant, they were immediately sentenced to death, even newborn infants and children were not spared this cruelty. Some mutants decided to fight back against the humans, and thus the war of mutants' vs humans was commenced. This war lasted many years, the entire world was plunged into a chaos where they hunted down these mutants like if they were animals.
The war lasted a total of 40 years.
The mutant race was brought to borderline extinction, that was until a group of ten powerful mutants rose up and proposed a deal with the humans. It was decided that the mutants would be confined to a large man made peninsula island where a city would be constructed in order for the mutants to live peacefully. The treaty they signed was known as the 'Mutant's Rights Policy' where if a mutant was found outside of the city they would be taken by the G.U.N force and sent to the city for a safe and healthy environment. The mutants would not be killed by humans and experiments on mutants would be illegal. Also the mutants would be able to gain all the rights as a normal city would, they named the city Metropolis. A rescue group was also formed in order to find other mutants alike, and this group got all the benefits as a top military base, including military weapons and technology. They were known as The Enforcers. The city would be considered a haven for the mutants where they could live normal lives.
But there was a catch…
If a threat of humanity should arise and the world would be facing something that would potentially harm the humans, each base from the G.U.N military facility, located in the largest continents in the world, would be assigned a branch off group of The Enforcers group, and the mutants in this group would be humanity's most powerful weapons.
Such is the price for their freedom.
Chapter 1: Introductions, Welcome to Metropolis
40 years later…
Metropolis has grown to be a very well-known city. It has also been very prosperous, being very technologically advanced. Mutants live their normal lives like humans would, going to school, getting jobs, all those other things. It expanded from only being a third of the peninsula to now almost occupying most of the large area. They also kept most of the nature intact in some areas and it blended well with the futuristic atmosphere. The population is still rather small considered the human race, but that didn't stop them also there was a very large mix of various nationalities, given the fact that the peninsula is located in the Pacific Ocean.
A large gust of wind zoomed by the streets of the busy city, rustling the trees and blowing newspapers from business men's hands and even blowing a bit of the skirts from unsuspecting school girls as they tried to keep them down. An echoed 'Sorry' was heard from the wind as it eventually died down. A blur continued to run across the town, beating every car, bus and even a shuttle in its speed and continued until it ran up the largest building in the center of the city. The blur came to a sudden stop while balancing on the tower overlooking the city.
The blur was none other than a teenage boy, roughly around the age of fifteen, with shaggy cobalt blue hair blowing in the wind with his bangs parted to the middle and peach colored skin. He was wearing a school uniform of a brown pants, red and white sneakers, dark green school issued blazer left open revealing a white undershirt. His emerald green eyes shone with the light of the sky and full of confidence and eagerness. He closed his eyes feeling the wind in his skin with a smile on his face. Hanging across his shoulder was a dark blue school bag. His eyes then snapped open when he heard the familiar ring tone of this phone, he reached into the pocket of his pants and pulled it out. He answered the call and was met with a familiar voice screaming into his ear.
"SONIC WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!? I AM NOT SAVING YOU ASS THIS TIME!"
"Give me back my phone Xion" said another voice, this one being more feminine. "Sonic you do realize that it's only ten minutes before class right?!
"Really? I could have sworn I had another thirty minutes left" he replied.
"Well you better get your butt back, because like Xion said, we are not saving you this time. We may be members of Enforcers, but we're still students"
"Yeah, yeah" said Sonic. "So ten minutes? No problem I'll make it back in less than three"
"If you break the sound barrier and cause damage it all on you!"
A grin formed on his face as he hung up the phone. He then jumped off the large building, a feat that would kill most people, but for him it was nothing. Using the momentum of the wind as he fell and the speed of the fall his feet touched the glass of the windows and he ran as fast as he was accustomed to and again turned into a blur once again. He ran at speeds inhumanly possible but didn't break the sound barrier (because of the damage it might do to the building). Sonic let out a loud laugh as he was running, felling the rush of blood in his veins. This is why he loved his power so much, being able to run at speeds so powerful that he could even break the sound barrier. So far he could only run speeds up to Mach 5, but he wishes to surpass that limit. He zoomed threw the town until he came across seconds later to a large school building. He ran passed the gates and came to a sudden halt. He then started walking to the entrance of the main building, only to be met with a fierce smack on the back side of his head.
Hunched over and rubbing his head he turned to the person who smacked him and his face paled at the angry female behind him. "H-hey Xion" he said while sweating bullets.
The said female was average height, age seventeen with light tan skin, slender but still femininely built with long dark pink hair tied in a high ponytail with long strands framing her face and her bags covering her forehead, just above her serious pink eyes behind frame-less oval glasses, and a permanent scowl on her face. The most noticeable thing was the two large tuffs of hair styled like cat ears but that's not all, they were actually behind actual white tipped pink cat ears and peeking out of her brown skirt were two pink cat tails with white tips. Her hands were crossed over her chest as she continued to glare at the blue haired teen.
"So, you made it back, in less than three minutes" she said with all seriousness.
"Yeah I am the fastest thing alive" proclaimed Sonic with pride.
Xion continued to glare at Sonic until she felt a pat on her back. She turned to see another female smiling at her with calm eyes. "Now, now Xion he's my responsibility not yours" she said with a smile.
"How you handle him Lightning I will never know" replied Xion.
The said girl, named Lightning, only smiled. She is a slender yet femininely built teenage girl, same age as Sonic, with long light yellow blond hair with a hint of magenta in it and usually kept in two lose braids and with her bangs slightly covering her eyes and parted to the left. Her eyes are colored a pale green with a slight shine to them. Like Xion, she was wearing the standard school uniform, but her dark green blazer was left open revealing a white dress shirt and she had knee high black socks with brown loafers.
"Well he is my cousin, so I know the tricks when dealing with him" she replied. "Now come on it'll be very sad if we are late being in front of the school building"
Her point was proven when the first bell rang and Xion went to her respective class. Sonic and Lightning started walking to their class as they normally did. Once they entered the room they waited for a few moments and their professor came in to give them their lesson.
This was a normal day in Metropolis, just like regular human teenagers have their classes the mutants here also had their classes to attend. The only difference was the fact that some, if not most, of them have powers. Sonic and Lightning were perfect examples of this. Outwardly they looked like regular teenagers, with their bickering and the fact that they attended school, but what made them different was their abilities that they were born with. Sonic had the ability to run at inhuman speeds while Lightning, like her namesake, had the power to control large amounts of electricity, which fit well with her up-beat and energetic personality. Sonic also lived up to his ability, and his namesake, because like the wind, he loves to be free. The other type of mutants in the city were those that were obvious to the eye, either having animal like appendages or traits, to odd skin color and more menacing. But everyone here was safe, for the fact that they were granted at least some normality within their daily lives.
Once the long lecture ended Sonic let out a loud sigh of relief and packed up his stuff for his next class. "So Light, which class are you heading to now?" asked Sonic using the nick-name he sometimes uses for her.
"Science, you?" she replied.
"Strangely enough, they put me in a Language class" he replied.
"So what language?" she asked with a slight giggle.
"Italian"
"Well there's one class I know you won't fail, because if you do Kotto will kill you" laughed Lightning.
"Very funny" he said with a scowl. "I know if I fail that it would be sad"
"You know who else takes it with you?" she asked.
"I think Blaze is in it too" he replied putting his bag over his shoulder.
"My isn't that interesting" Lightning replied while grabbing her bag and giving him a smile.
"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked.
"O nothing my cugino ingenuo (Naïve cousin Italian)" she giggled again.
He gave her a look of displeasure as he told her that they will meet up during lunch with the rest of their friends. He made a dash to the hall where he zoomed thru them. In a matter of short minutes he stopped in front of his next class with some time left to spare. He still wondered why on earth they put him in a Language class, and Italian above all. Yes, he is part Italian and thus he does know the language, so why the hell did they put him in this class if he already knew the language. He sighed as he thought of what Lightning said and it only made him scowl even more, yeah sure he wasn't the best student let's be honest here but his grades weren't that bad. He was snapped out of this thoughts when the chair beside him moved and someone sat on it.
Sonic smiled and greeted "Hey Blaze, guess they put you here too eh?"
Blaze turned and smiled at him. "Yeah, didn't expect that this semester we're going to be learning Italian" she said.
Blaze was the same age as Sonic, 15, and she looked normal enough, at least in human standards that is. She has lavender colored hair that falls little ways below her neck and held in a partial ponytail that stretched to the base of her neck with her bangs neatly parted to the right with short strands framing her face. Her skin was pale but had a slight peach tone to it, but the most striking thing about her was in fact her eyes, they were angled like that of a cat and colored a bright amber color. She was wearing the standard school uniform but she had white over-the-knee high stockings. Her ability was the power to control fire at will, either absorbing it or conjuring it as her name implies.
"You seem excited" he said.
"Well we do need to learn different languages for our missions, the only other language I know is my maiden one, Estonian" she replied. "Though I would like to learn German"
"Then ask Platinum to teach you" he said.
"Maybe"
They continued to talk to each other until their teacher came in to give them their lesson.
The lunch bell rang and most of the students went to the courtyard to eat their lunches or to hang amongst themselves. Here Sonic and Blaze met up with Lightning and they sat down on one of the empty tables of the cafeteria. After a few minutes their conversation was halted when two familiar figures walked to them.
"Hey! Shadow, Knuckles!" yelled Lightning with a wave.
Shadow only scowled at the blond haired girl while Knuckles gave a wave back. Shadow was the same age as Sonic, Blaze and Lightning and he has shaggy black hair with red highlights with his bags covering his forehead and serious red eyes that always looked like they were in a fierce glare and a scowl permanently planted on his face, much like Xion's. His skin was slightly tan but not by much. He was wearing the standard school uniform, but he had a black undershirt rather than a dress shirt. He had the ability to control an energy inside him called Chaos, it was powerful but also deadly so he needed to be monitored by a doctor every now and again.
Knuckles was their upper classmen, age 16, and he has red hair that was long and straight, making a stop slightly passed his shoulders with a part in the middle with the left portion of his hair partially behind his ear and fierce violet eyes that would intimidate any who look at him. His skin was also slightly tan and very well built. He has abnormal strength, he could break solid concrete walls with just one punch and also he can handle the same amount of force with ease. He very much lives up to his name.
"You seem in a good mood Lightning" said Knuckles.
"Really I didn't notice" she said with a smile.
She, Sonic and Blaze sat down as they placed their trays on the table. They enjoyed their food peacefully until that peace was shattered by someone slamming their tray against the table, making the other occupants jump in surprise.
"Xion, is something wrong?" asked Blaze as she saw the clearly pissed off faced of the cat-eared teenager.
"Damn people from the science lab wouldn't know about engineering if it bit them in the freaking ass!" she said, in close line with the yell. "How dare they confuse the central core of a Gen 2 Gurren Unit with the central systematic data base of the Gen 3 Nepgear Units! Even Tails who is 11 years old knows the difference!"
"Science club asked you for advice again?" asked Knuckles not really understanding her rambling.
"Yes, I won't bother with the details since I know for a fact that none of you understand" said Xion as she sat down.
"Geez Xion anyone ever tell you to tone down" said a sly voice approaching the table.
"Bite me!" she yelled at the person.
"Hey Rouge" said Sonic to the figure standing beside the table.
Rouge gave her usual smile as she sat down beside Knuckles. She was a well-endowed upperclassmen, in the same year as Knuckles, with short white hair falling slightly passed her shoulders and styled in layers and curling in the right places with a small portion of her bags in between her turquoise eyes. Her skin is lightly sun-kissed with a slight blush dusted on her cheeks. She wore the same uniform as Lightning and Blaze but there was a distinctive difference to hers, the back was completely revealed and the shoulders of the sleeves were cut and hanging off her shoulders. Her most distinctive feature was in fact the black bat wings growing out of her back, not only that but she had the ability to control the size and wingspan of her wings. Right now they were shrunk down and folded onto her back.
"Seriously Xion control that temper of yours" she said again as she grinned at the pissed off seventeen year old.
Xion's left eye twitched as she gave a cat like hiss to the bat. Rouge on the other hand just laughed a bit and Xion gave out a huff and proceed to take a bite out of her lunch.
"So Rouge how the new year treating you?" asked Blaze.
"Same as always, although Knukie and I are in the same History class" she replied while taking a sideways glance to the red-head beside her.
"How many times have I told you to stop calling me that!" growled Knuckles with a blush lightly covering his cheeks.
"Admit it Knuckie you secretly like it when I call you that" she said as she scooted closer to him and wrapped her arms around his well-toned muscled arm. "Just like you like the feel of my breasts on your arm" she said with a sly and seductive tone.
Knuckles' face got redder as he turned his head away from the bat-winged teenager. Lightning couldn't help but laugh at Knuckles face as he only got even more embarrassed at Rouge's gestures.
"Hey Rouge we all know that you get all hot and bothered when your with him but please, some of us are trying to have a decent meal here" came Xion's remark as took another bite of her food.
Rouge let go of Knuckles, much to the latter's relief, as she gave a death glare to the pink haired cat girl. "Well Xion is someone jealous?" she said with her own mocking tone.
Xion scoffed as she responded. "Hardly"
Sonic laughed a bit at the scene as Xion and Rouge glared at each other. This was a normal occurrence for them. Xion and Rouge did get along sometimes, but most of the time they were at each other's throats. But they did know how to stand clear from each other's antics.
"So Shadow are you planning on training today?" asked Blaze.
"I plan on it, I want to try and get the hand of controlling my Gurren Unit" answered Shadow.
This peaked Xion's interest. "You're still having problems with it?" she asked.
"Just the weapons, I can move around just fine" he retorted.
"Well that is common" she said.
"I'm just astonished that you and Tails made us our own personal units" said Sonic. "That is just way passed cool"
"Well we did ask for permission from Commander Pendragon" answered Xion.
"But it is amazing since we are the 'rookie' team" said Knuckles.
"He has a point there" said Lightning.
"Rookies or not we still need to make a name for ourselves" said Rouge.
They continued their conversation and finished their lunch just as the bell rang again. All of them decided to meet again later and then head to the HQ of the Enforcers.
Yes, it was true that these young friends are members of the Enforcers. Sonic, Blaze, Knuckles, Lightning, Rouge, Xion and Shadow along with a few other fiends of theirs were known to the veterans of the Enforcers as the 'Rookie' group since they were the youngest members of the group. The Enforcers would divide themselves into sub-groups in order to perform missions more effectively, in some cases giving themselves team names.
After the school day Sonic and friends took the speed shuttle, much to Sonic's displeasure (because he thought it was in his opinion 'too slow') in order to get to the Enforcers HQ, located on the far north of the city, literally located as a separated sector of the city. It took a total of ten minutes for the shuttle to get to the main entrance of the Enforcers base and another five to get to the main building. The entire area looked like a military base, minus the bleak atmosphere since they had more of a business atmosphere. It had many smaller buildings, some of which were the residences of the members, large training fields, facilities with large mechas, the medical ward, and in the center of it all was the main building. The main building is where most of the members spend their time, weather it was with training, brushing up on missions or just keeping an eye on everything in the city.
The shuttle made its stop and Sonic let out a loud 'finally' earning him a smack on his head by Xion. Sonic glared at her and they made their way inside the main building. They walked past the security system, scanning their Enforcer's PDA on the scanner, and continued to the changing room so they could begin their daily routine training.
"SOOOONNNNIIIIICCCCC!"
The said blue haired teenager stopped in his tracks while his eyes widen comically. He started sweating a bit as he slowly looked behind him as he felt a pair of arms wrap around his neck. He quickly tried to release the grip that was around his neck.
"AMY GET OFF!" he yelled.
The said girl only laughed with glee as Sonic still tried to pry her off of him. Amy was the strangest thing placed on this earth, at least in Sonic's opinion. She looked rather normal enough, being only thirteen, with her short pink hair (the same shade as Xion's) held in place with a red headband and falling slightly passed her neck in a small bob. Her bangs covered her forehead, just above her eyebrows and her grass green eyes shone with joy. She also had a slight peach tone to her skin and she was wearing a purple jumper dress with a sailor style collar, a white blazer and knee high white socks and loafers. Despite her very girlish appearance and rather innocent look, she was a force to be recon with and has a big temper. Her mutation was considered rare since she is able to materialize a large, and I mean LARGE hammer. This was considered one of the most unique mutations since it was materializing an object.
"No way! I've been waiting all day to see you my darling Sonic" she said with another giggle.
Sonic's face paled as the other teenagers couldn't help but laugh at the scene, even the usually stoic Shadow let out a small chuckle at the scene. Another thing about Amy was the fact she was obsessively in love with Sonic, although the feeling wasn't mutual. No matter what Sonic said he just couldn't get the girl to understand that he is uninterested in her.
A comical chop made contact with Amy's head as this caused her to release her grip from Sonic. The said person quickly ran to Lightning's side to see who had save him. "Thanks Platinum I owe you big time!" he said with relief.
The girl he mentioned was also thirteen with pale skin, long sliver colored hair tied in two ponytails with some of her bangs covering her forehead and partially concealing her serious metallic dark gray eyes and strands framing her face. She was wearing the same uniform as Amy, the only difference was in fact she left her blazer unzipped, bandages wrapped around her hands and wrists and thigh-high black stockings. Platinum also had a strange mutation. She has the ability to control her own blood, even to the point where she can use it to burn objects, like acid. This was considered a very dangerous ability since it causes the user to be anemic and prolonged use can eventually kill. It also gave the user a sickly and frail appearance but Platinum was anything but frail.
"Platinum that hurt!" whined Amy while rubbing her head.
"Well it was the only thing I could think of to get you off of Sonic" she answered with a soft but serious tone. "Anyway did all of you hear, apparently one of G.U.N's commanders is visiting the Enforcers"
All of their eyes widen a bit while Xion merely scoffed. "Why the hell is a G.U.N commander here?" she asked.
"Apparently to check how things are going, also Commander Pendragon has something to discuss with you guys" explained Amy. "Probably about another mission"
"When does he want to meet with us?" asked Shadow.
"After his meeting he said he would contact you" said Platinum.
"Well looks like we should train for now" said Rouge.
"I'll check if the field is available" said Xion as she started walking away.
"Is it just me or is she more pissed than usual?" asked Sonic.
"This is Xion remember" said Knuckles. "I can't remember a day when she wasn't pissed at something"
Platinum looked down at the floor with a very thoughtful look on her face. She knew the reason why Xion was overly sour today. Even now, the mutants in the Enforcers still felt uneasy when a G.U.N commander is in the facility. Amy notes this and she placed a hand on her shoulder in silent comfort. Platinum looked at Amy and gave a small smile. All of then went their separate ways inside the facility.
Xion walked into the engineering room. This room was where the mechas were created along with the cores for the units used for the members of the Enforcers. She saw many of the scientists and engineers working with their various different projects as she walked to a large mecha attached to many cables. "Hey Tails you in there!" she called out.
A head of orange blond hair peaked out from the inside of a mecha cockpit with a tablet with design and technological plans. The young boy removed his goggles from his blue eyes, revealing a young looking face with pale skin. The most distinctive figure he had was in fact he had orange blond fox ears and behind him was two large white tipped fox tails.
"Hey Xion your back!" said Tails with happiness as he spun his twin fox tails until he lightly flew off the cockpit and onto the ground. He was wearing a dark brown top with knee long navy blue pants with some ink blotches on them and brown gloves on his hands and brown boots.
Xion gave a rare smile at the young boy. "So how's the improvement on the Gen 2 Hyper-D Unit?" she asked.
"Going well, I just needed to adjust the weapons function and also we still need to work out some of the bugs in the Gen 2 core" said Tails.
"I agree, also we still haven't been able to crack the code for the Gen 3 Guren Units" said Xion. "Without that, we can't even design the Gen 3 Hyper-D, and also the core of the Gen 3 Nepgear Units also need some monitoring. Anyway let me get changed and I'll see what's the progress on that"
Xion started walking to the female changing room located inside the engineering facility. As much as it shocks almost everyone in the Enforcers, Tails and Xion were two of the top designers and researchers in the group. It was even more impressive the fact that they were part of the 'rookie' group as the older veterans like to call them. Both of them designed custom Units for their group and now they were looking to try and design a third generation Guren Unit with the data they got from the third generation Nepgear Units. All of the scientists and engineers in this part of the facility were both impressed and amazed that the two of them could make incredible breakthroughs with their knowledge, considering the fact that Xion was 17 and Tails is only eleven.
Xion changed from her school uniform into a form fitting black tank top with dark red knee long pants which were also form fitting, white shoes with black soles and lastly a white lab coat. She walked out of the changing room and continued to walk to the many computer monitors located just beyond the main room where the mechs were made. She took her place into one of the chairs and continued to work on the data of the core of the Gen 3 Nepgear Units. She started typing on the computer and she analyzed the data they got from the Gen 3 Nepgear Units.
"I need to remind myself to thank Amy and Platinum for getting the data I need for the development of the Gen 3 Gurren Units" Xion said to herself as a smile made its way to her face. This was one of the rare moments when the other scientist saw the normally sour teenager smile.
"So how's the data?" asked Tails while peaking over from the other side of the desk.
"It's amazing!" she exclaimed. "The Gen 3 Nepgears are working fabulously. Their central core of the new Nepgear Units is working flawlessly. If we keep getting good results like this then we already have a draft to start developing the Gen 3 Gurren Units"
Tails and Xion continued their daily routine that consisted of them analyzing the data they received. While the other scientist and engineers looked at them in astonishment at the fact that they were more focused in developing new mechas. It was times like this they were glad they were working with the Enforcers. "Alright then the Training arena is open I'm going to give Amy and Platinum the ok to train" said Xion. "Tails I'm going to need you to give The Commander this drive containing the data we've managed to uncover and also explain its contents to explain our progress"
"Right!" exclaimed Tails as he took the small portable drive and left the computer room.
Platinum and Amy changed into their training outfits, which were form fitting body suits that were sleeveless, with long gloves extending above their elbows (with Platinums having her palms and wrists exposed but still wrapped with bandages), with the bottoms giving the appearance of short shorts and lastly thigh high boots. The difference between the two suits was the fact that Amy's was mostly white and pink and Platinum's was gray and purple. Both of them then placed gear like bracelets on their wrists and made their way to the training grounds. Both of them made it to the large training field that looked like a large arena and on the far right and above there was a small room overlooking the training grounds, also there were cameras for the scientists and engineers to monitor the members training, and also assist if anything happened.
Both Amy and Platinum activated their gears and in an instant, there was a white light and around their waists appeared hovering above them large waist gears, and the same type behind the heels of their feet, above their shoulders, on each side of their heads and lastly wings made with data. The difference was in fact that Amy's were colored mostly white, her waist gears were styled like half-moons with one on each side of her waist and her data wings were pink and resembled butterfly wings and Platinum's were purple, her waist gears resembled feathers with three on each side of her waist and her wings were gray and looked like bird wings, with three on each side. Also on their left ear was a small radio and mic.
"Gen 3 Nepgear Unit, Code name: Rozovyye Rozy, ready for launch" said Amy as her gears activated with the roaring sound of the engines.
"Gen 3 Nepgear Unit, Code name: Stahl Gauntlet, ready for launch" said Platinum as her gears activated with the same roaring sound of the engines.
"Units are ready for dispatch, opening hatchets" echoed Xion's voice in the radio.
The gates opened and both members flew out from the launch gate and flew to the center of the large arena. Once they got stabilized both Amy and Platinum flew to opposite sides of the arena. "Ready?" asked Platinum as she extended her hand in front of her.
"You know I am!" exclaimed Amy with a grin as she made the same gesture as Platinum.
Platinum gave her own grin as the bandages from her right hand came loose and her blood came out of her hand to create a sword. Amy on the other hand materialized a large hammer as both of them prepared for their sparing match. They stared at each other for a few moments until charging at one another and throwing their own attacks.
"Seems like Platinum and Amy are at it again"
From inside the room overlooking the training grounds, the Commander of the Enforcers, named Robert Pendragon, was smiling at the sight of the two young teenage girls sparing while using their personal Nepgear Units. It always put a smile on the slightly elderly man's face whenever he saw the members train. His most distinctive feature was in fact his monochrome colored hair, with a large portion of it being gray and the right side of his bangs and tips of his hair being colored black, also his right eyebrow was black while the left was gray.
"Those two have skills even though they are so young" said his guest.
Pendragon's gaze turned back to his guest, whom was the current Commander of G.U.N's American Unit. "Well now Commander Accord, to be honest those two aren't the only young members in the Enforcers. In fact the youngest prefers to work in the engineering room" said Pendragon. "The veterans like to call them the 'Rookie Team' not only because of their young age but also at the fact that the small group was only formed last year"
"That is very much impressive. I cannot believe that one's so young would want to join" said Commander Accord with a hint of shock in his voice as he ran a hand thru his brown hair.
"Well they showed their determination when they applied and their skills were very much on par with the rest of the members" explained Commander Pendragon. After their discussion he led Commander Accord out of the room and before he could bid a farewell Tails came into view and walked towards Pendragon.
"Ah, Tails what brings you here?" he asked.
Tails lifted his head and said. "Pardon my intrusion Commander but Xion told me to give you this drive".
"Really now, she usually sends them to me. Why is it different this time?" he asked.
"Well she told me to explain its contents to you" answered Tails.
"Ah I get it, that's why she sent you" said Pendragon.
"So this is the genius you spoke of?" asked Commander Accord.
Tails gaze turned to Commander Accord. He felt slightly tense, being at the sight of a human, but tried his best to hide it. In the back of his mind he started thinking that this was one of the reasons why Xion sent him to give the drive to Pendragon, because if she were here then let's just say it wouldn't be pretty.
"M-my name is Tails" he said with a slight stutter and a bow.
Pendragon could sense the uneasiness in his voice and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He knew that many of the mutants here, especially the younger ones, still felt uneasy when in the presence of a human. Accord bid his farewell and headed out once he shook hands with Pendragon and gave a slight friendly nod to Tails. Once he was out of sight Tails let out a sigh of relief as his ears pressed onto the top of his head. Pendragon placed a hand on the younger boy's head and smiled.
"Now then, let's head into my office so you can explain to me what you and Xion have been working on" he said.
"Ah, right!" said Tails.
"Oh and Tails, I'm going to need both you and Xion to call Sonic, Shadow, Lightning, Blaze, Knuckles and Rouge" said Pendragon in all seriousness. "I have a very important mission of them"
Concept and Terminology
Types of Mechas
1. The Nepgear Units are the weakest of the three but they make up their lack of strength and defense for speed. They take in the form of small gears on the users head, fore-arms, waist and the back of their heels and with digital wings enabling them for flight and speed. They are also able to program weapons into the gears and summon them at will and have a shied that protects the user. Their speed and nimbleness is very effective in combat and they can even go toe-to-toe with other mechas in speed.
2. The Gurren Units are fall in the middle, they are stronger than the Nepgear Units but are significantly weaker than the Hyper-D Units. These take in the form of mecha like limbs on the arms and legs and with gear like wings that vary in design. The shield is stronger than the Nepgear Units and it even allows them communication via hologram and like the Nepgear Units they can program weapons and summon them at will. The difference between this one and the latter is that the Gurren Units can have three different weapons while the Nepgear Unit only has one. Out of the three units this one has a balance in speed, power and defense and work well in combat.
3. The Hyper-D Units are the strongest of the mecha's in power and defense. They take in the form of full body mechas with a cockpit containing 1-2 people in it. They may move slower than the Nepgear Units, but it's still relatively fast compared to normal standards. Like the other two, weapons can be enabled by programming them, having 5 weapons programmed. The drawback to this is that it is only effective on the ground but some units have been enabled with flight.
