Pre- Dawn Mobile Battle: The Rouge Era
Intro:
The year is U.C. 0049, years before the origin of humanoid shaped mobile suits. But the idea of gigantic robotic figures used for war is anything but a dream. Certain rouges of the Federation and rebellious soldiers of a terror forming operation that was called Operation Rasii made robotic structures called Triclaws, 3 legged machines with a single gun cannon attached to the top of each Triclaw. They have a single main camera, like that of a Zaku. Though these mechas were highly advanced, they still had limited strength.
Operation Rasii was the plan to create and use Triclaws for a full scale war and to dominate it. The bases were camouflaged as industrial buildings. The only thing known about the people were that were against the treaty of disarmament of weapons started by America. The treaty never passed and the terrorists formed a coup-de-tae to attack America. It would be the first and hardest place to take over, but the US would get in the way of their plans.
There was one hope. The head scientist, not realizing the destruction he would be responsible for, found out, and quit. He stole blueprints of a superior Triclaw specialized for the commander. He had clearance to the supplies yard, and took enough supplies for five suits. He looked for five men in their 20's to pilot. He found them. They were former soldiers all at the age of 24. They had been rogues of life, going on their own after the army. When Rasii found out, they hunted down the suits and the six men involved. But one man, Johnny Winner, escaped. Only 1 suit was completed and hidden…Its name was SpYder and it was the only hope…
Chapter I The Dawn of an Eternal War
Johnny is programming SpYder, from inside the cockpit, in a rundown factory.
Johnny: Hmm…let's see, manual gun function on, auto scope on, this thing should be ready to test…wait I should add something to relieve me in battle…
He takes out a picture of him and his four friends and tapes it in the cockpit.
Johnny: There we go. Now I think I'll test my accuracy a bit.
He closes the cockpit and SpYder automatically aims it's fusion machine cannon at the target barrel. One shot tore the barrel into a thousand pieces. In five seconds SpYder
found a second barrel and fired.
Johnny: Now we'll see if I can go any faster without the lock on system. Ready, go!
In a mere tenth of a second he fired two bullets. One destroyed a barrel twenty yards away, the other a barrel sixty yards away.
Johnny: Well that was odd, I think I'll try thi-
There was an explosion at the opposite side of the dreary factory. As the dust settled two large shadows appeared. They were Triclaws from Rasii.
Johnny: Are they like mine? No, they are different, their armor doesn't look as good as mine does. Those guns they have, they look like double barreled-machine-cannons, that's impressive, but I've got a Fusion machine cannon, it's much more powerful.
Rasii Soldier: Surrender or you'll never see your counter parts again fool!
Johny: Never!
SpYder jumped onto a stack of wooden pallets and began shooting at the leg of one Triclaw. The Rasii Triclaws scattered away from one another, and hid behind more pallets. SpYder fired three shots at the pallets, and the Rasii Triclaw fell over, on top of the pallets, with only one leg still attached. But the other Triclaw popped out from the pallets and shot off three rounds. Johnny felt a strange feeling telling him to jump right.
The SpYder did so and completely avoided the attack. SpYder's left and back legs lunged into the side of the factory, clinging to the wall. He fired again at the Rasii Triclaw, destroying his cameras. It's pilot hopped out and ran away.
Rasii Soldier: You won this time but we'll continue to come back until we kill you! Remember this is the dawn of an everlasting war!
Johnny: We'll see about that. That was interesting, I didn't get hit at all… and that feeling, wha-
Johnny fell to the ground, grabbing his sides shuddering with pain…
Johnny: Aahhh! The pain, oh what's going on, War… Side… Ze-…Aaaaahhhhhhh, the pain! What!? Revol-…what's happening to me, I ju- so many souls screa- I can't… war how, the tri-
He let out a final scream and lay on the floor unconscious……

Chapter II The Painful Journey Ahead
Johnny regains consciousness and wakes up in a small bedroom. A woman walks in with a tray filled with food.
Johnny: Where am I? Was I imprisoned like my friends? Where are they?
Woman: No, you're in my bedroom, I have no idea of what you are talking about, but I see you still need rest, or at least have something to eat, please?
Johnny: Well if I'm not a prisoner, than where am I and who are you?
Woman: My name is Lily Rucford, and you're at my house in Oregon. There is no one around this place for at least two miles. Here take some food, I have plenty for my self, I live alone…
Johnny: How did you find me in that factory?
Lily: I was driving my truck down the dirt path that goes past it. I was on my way back from the market where I sell my crops, and I saw the factory had a large hole in it. I could also see fire inside, and then I saw your car parked out side. I rushed in to see if any one needed help, well that's when I saw you twitching with pain on the floor. I picked up your arms and pulled you on to a pallet. I saw a fork lift in the corner, so I picked you up with it and loaded you onto the truck. I drove home and put you on my bed. You had an expression of fear on your face, like you were going to die…
Johnny: I'm just glad I was rescued by an attracti- um, thank you very much, I don't know if you will understand me or not but I'll tell you what happened when I collapsed…
I had visions of a space colony, I don't know which one it was though. Then a sign or logo saying Zeon-
Lily: Zeon! They're from side six I think…
Johnny: Well then I heard a strong voice call out "revolution" to a huge group of people.
This man announced a war or something but then I heard a million innocent voices scream for they're lives, and the my Triclaw- I've told you to much already…
Lily: No, I completely under stand, I had a dream the Zeon declared independence, and a war broke out, but then I woke up… What was that last thing you said, that thing in the factory, was that a "Triclaw?"
Johnny: (how did she know?) Yeah that was my Triclaw. My father told me as a child that I was special because I had faster reflexes…and in that fight, and the barrels I had my auto aim off, and I was better than it, no, I and you can't be newtypes, could we?
Lily: I never thought of that, I just…I think we are…well it doesn't matter to me at all, I'm just staying here and living normally for my life, now please, eat.
Johnny: Alright.
After he was done eating, the two went out to the factory to get SpYder and Johnny's car.
Johnny: Where's my car? It's gone. My Triclaw is here, but they took my car, I don't understand why, unless, my blueprints! They were in the car too! They'll be able to construct SpYder. I have to stop them…Lily, do you think your truck can toe SpYder around for a little bit, I'll understand if you don't want to get involved but I could use the help…
Lily: I guess I could, but I don't want to be targeted, or anything, I have nothing to lose…
I have no real friends, no family, no pets, just myself.
Johnny: I promise you I'll return all of the favors you have done for me. But how am I going to stop them, I don't even know where they took my car.
Lily: Did they leave anything?
Johnny: I'll check they're suits maybe there is a factory name or something.
He looks around on the suits and can't find anything. When he checks the final suit, he enters the opened cockpit. He turns on the only working monitor and a map appears on the screen. It leads from a building codenamed: A1, to this factory.
Johnny: Got it. When do you care to leave Lily?
Lily: Anytime, but we should pack food and supplies first.
Johnny: Ok. It'll take about 4 hours to get there so make sure you're not hungry.
Lily: I'm not.
They head back to the house and pack, get in the truck, and take off. The Sun is setting behind the brown hill they head for, and it sets an orange glow on the paved road. There is nothing for miles, except for a brown pickup tuck cruising down the lone road.
Lily: So what started this?
Johnny: The US. We wanted peace…that's a cheap word to use, but that's what they chose. As soon as word broke out, Zeon started development, or so I'm told. Not many people know this, but it was Zeon that started this.
Lily: Zeon?
Johnny: I still can't figure out why, but if my unexplainable attack was something more, like a message from God or something, It must be them. I managed to find concrete info about a base of Rasii, just a little outside of here.
Lily: So how do you know this?
Johnny: When I went into the cockpit, I hacked into the mission briefing and data log of Rasii.
They are coming close to the base, which is several miles away.
Johnny: We should stop here, we're within fifteen miles, If they see your truck toeing
A Triclaw, they will attack. I don't know if they have finished suits or not, but we'll take that risk. Go behind the hill, we'll set up camp.
End of Chapter II
Chapter III A Mission Fit For Rouges
SpYder came dashing out at full speed firing at a thin metal door on the ground leading to the underground base. He jumped and landed puncturing the armored door in three spots. He fires through and charges down a large hallway. There were no guards or Triclaws in sight, just lights at the top of the enormous hall. SpYder went slow, Johnny kept his hand on the trigger buttons. His sweat beaded, slowly falling on his tense body. He hears a door opening; he aims… two flashing grenades fly out at SpYder. He fired, but only hit one. It exploded causing the remaining one to explode also. Fire engulfed the entire hall. He tensed even more, as the smoke settled he charged for the large door that was still open. SpYder sprung in the room looking. Three Triclaws stood waiting for him. They fired with great power and didn't let up. The followed SpYder as it dashed quickly for cover.
Johnny: You think I'm running, well you're wrong!
Soldier: You're a bit too late to stop production now, your suit has already been made again!
Johnny: These suits are the same as the ones in the factory, maybe that is the only model they have, but what are they called? It doesn't matter they're destroyed now!
Spider jumps up, he aims and fires at the nearest one, it leaves holes throughout the suit. It falls in smoke, blinding the remaining two foes. Johnny felt an indescribable feeling throughout his body, he only shot two more shells. Each one took out the cockpits of the suits.
Johnny: I can see the core generator ahead, if I destroy it, I'll cause destruction of the whole plant! I have to hurry before more suits come, I can hear them…
SpYder locks on to the generator and fires sixty rounds off. Red lights flash, a voice comes over the base telling everyone to evacuate, and tremors tear-up the ground.
Johnny runs out of the room and sprints down the broken hallway. Two suits come after him firing everything. Johnny's body tenses, he knows his life is staked on this escape. The core explodes into flames that now chase the three suits. The flames swallow the Triclaws behind him as their screams are the only thing Johnny can hear. He reaches the hatch to escape and jumps right, rolling his suit's legs on the dry sandy ground, as the flames spit out of the ground.
Lily: What's taking him? I hope he's alright… I can't stop thinking about him, he's just- …just not like anyone else, he's-… indescribable.
She sees a figure coming towards the hill.
Lily: He's alive…and lucky.
He comes to the camp and finds Lily making dinner.
Lily: so…did it work out?
Johnny: Barley. I'm just glad to be back here with you.
Lily: I made pancakes and I have some oranges, It's probably morning, so we'll call this breakfast. I don't have a clock with me.
Johnny: Thanks…for everything.
Lily: So now what? Do you have any information at all?
Johnny: nothing new, but on the history log from the factory, it listed a target that they would attack soon.
Lily: Where?
Johnny: Chicago, Illinois.
Lily: They're going to reveal themselves to the public!?
Johnny: Yeah, and kill civilians at the same time. They want to attack the hockey game. I don't know which game, but I know we'll have to go and wait until they come.
Lily: How will they make it to the arena if it's downtown?
Johnny: They'll have to drop from the sky to attack effectively.
Lily: How will we attack them?
2 End of Chapter III
Chapter IV The Journey to Chicago
Johnny: Let's go to Chicago as soon as possible. For all I know, we could be too late.
They Packed camp and hit the road again. They are about one hundred miles from Chicago. Lily is constantly changing the radio.
Lily: Sounds like nothing happened so far…Maybe we can find out when the games are.
She finds a sports station and they listen to the listings.
Announcer: The Chicago Scorpions lose 3 to 2 in overtime…Their next game is home Tuesday night, against the Miami Rays. It'll be a sellout for this must win game for the Scorpions…This is their last chance to clinch the playoffs. We'll be back with highlights from tonight after a word from our sponsors.
Johnny: We've got one day in between now and what I'll guess is their planned attack date, if it's a sellout like that guy said, they'll be more then happy with close to twenty thousand people at their disposal.
Lily: You never answered my question yet, how will we defend the city? It's so overwhelming, I mean where do we go?…How do we avoid people?…what if the police get involved?…Isn't the U.S. going to start militaristic actions against us afterwards?
Johnny: You're way too worried, the only thing we need to worry about is how and where we do this mission. We can't allow them to progress into the arena, and where we hide SpYder.
Lily: I don't understand you, the world could rest on your hands, and you're calm.
Johnny: I guess I'm different then.
Lily: So be it. I think I might have the Zeon-World connection figured out.
Johnny: And?
Lily: They're human.
Johnny: And so are we…so what?
Lily: Naturally, they're power hungry. They have egos, big ones. They have to want the world. They're no different then Hitler, or Alex the Great…they want the world under their control.
Johnny: Makes sense, I guess.
Lily: So how do you think the public will accept this?
Johnny: Right now, I'm not even sure if it will happen. Oh, stop at the Radioshack ahead, I need to pick up stuff.
Lily: What do you need?
Johnny: Just "stuff."
Lily: Okay, I won't bother.
She parks the car and they head in. He snoops around and checks out with two items.
Lily: So, what did you buy?
Johnny: A pair of two way radios so we can stay in touch, and a portable battery T.V.
Lily: why would we split?
Johnny: Here's my plan, I'm going to get in the SpYder, your going to go into a parking garage near the arena, leave the car near the gates, and head up to the roof of the building, from there you will direct me on where to go, where Rasii is, and where they are going, If you direct me, I can fight much better and efficiently then normal.
Lily: You want me to direct you from the top of a building!?
Johnny: Yep.
Lily: Do you even have a chance against them?
Johnny: I don't know, but I made a list of armaments on my suit to use as a reminder. They are as follows:
Fusion Machine Cannon
Twin Vulcan Barrels
Steel Rope Grapple…witch I just discovered recently.
Pilot Response Sensory System
And a Feedback Memory System
Lily: what are the last 2?
Johnny: The pilot system makes SpYder remember my fighting style and senses, and the feedback system tells me the opponents known tactics, skill, and suit data.
Lily: wow, that's amazing.
Johnny: We're a mile away.

Johnny: Here's my plan, I'm going to get in the SpYder, your going to go into a parking garage near the arena, leave the car near the gates, and head up to the roof of the building, from there you will direct me on where to go, where Rasii is, and where they are going, If you direct me, I can fight much better and efficiently then normal.
Lily: You want me to direct you from the top of a building!?
Johnny: Yep.
Lily: Do you even have a chance against them?
Johnny: I don't know, but I made a list of armaments on my suit to use as a reminder. They are as follows:
Fusion Machine Cannon
Twin Vulcan Barrels
Steel Rope Grapple…witch I just discovered recently.
Pilot Response Sensory System
And a Feedback Memory System
Lily: what are the last 2?
Johnny: The pilot system makes SpYder remember my fighting style and senses, and the feedback system tells me the opponents known tactics, skill, and suit data.
Lily: wow, that's amazing.
Johnny: We're a mile away.
