Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, Quatre Winner, and Chang Wufei were shocked when they were suddenly standing in a forest area. None had any idea how they'd gotten here.
"So someone else is here too?" The looked to see a teenage boy drop out of a tree. He had cobalt eyes and a chestnut braid. "Hey, I'm Solo . "
"Woh." Quatra said, looking at the boy. He then smiled, "I'm ..."
"Oh, I know who you all are." Solo said, stiffly. "You're the Gundam Pilots." he ran his fingers through his hair. He had no bangs. "I'm Solo from the Rebel Forces. "
"How old are you?" Duo asked. "Say about ...oh...15?"
"That's right." Solo said, frowning, he pulled out a device. He pressed a button and a see through screen popped up . He pressed another button and got a beeping. "Petey ! Come in Petey!" it kept beeping at him. "Petey, come in petey! Dammit! Lana! Come in Lana! Lian! Chi! Dammit! Anyone! " no one answered just more beeping. He sighed and hung up tucking it back in his pocket. "Okay, that's so annoying." he focused, "So I'm stuck here with five 30 year olds. Great."
Solo wore black form fitting , low riding boy friend jeans, a tight form fitting black tank top that showed his navel, black combat boots and black motorcycle gloves.
Heero wore his signature green tank top and black spandex.
Duo wore a black skin tight sleeveless shirt with a high collar and black jeans and boots. He also wore black motorcycle gloves.
Trowa wore a blue long sleeve shirt , with blue jeans.
Quartre wore a pink button up shirt with a blue vest over it and brown jeans.
Wufei wore a black tanktop, and white pants.
"Ugh." Solo threw himself down on the ground arms behind his head laying on the ground his legs crossed.
"What are you doing?" Duo asked, "Get up lets explore!"
"Nope." Solo said, "If my Rebels come looking for me I'll be waiting."
Screens popped up before each of them and a voice spoke.
Congratulations, gundam pilots of the ESUN whether past or present . You've been chosen to have your lives become games. Here you'll start from nothing and build everything! You'll be players who can level up fight, gain skills , abilities etc. People you know will show up as you go as will other people depending on what you build.
"HELL YEAH!" Duo cheered, "We're living a video game!"
"Ugh." Solo got back to his feet. "Quest, build a house ." he read the screen in front of him. He sighed, "We should do it then." They all pressed yes. "Stats!" a screen appeared. "Really, everything is at 0?" he frowned, " Skills! WHAT THE HELL! ALL MY SKILLS ARE GONE!"
"Woh, calm down." Quatre said, soothingly. "We're all in the same boat here."
"I've trained my whole life and it's all gone!" Solo growled marching over to the spot where everything they would need to build a house was there. He'd take his frustration out here. He was soon frowning and holding a hammer.
"What's wrong?" Duo asked, happily, joining him.
"I have no idea what to do." Solo said, "I live on a ... well, I can use this hammer as a weapon and kill you no problem but I have no idea what else it's used for and this is not the type of labor I'm used to. "
"We'll learn together!" Duo laughed, "What are you doing?"
Solo had pulled his device out again and activated the screen. He scanned everything they were to used.
"How do I use these items to make house?" Solo asked, " Narrow search to Earth."
The five original pilots were shocked when the device began talking to them telling them the first step. They all sprang into action. They got step by step instructions and followed them spending most of the day building the one room house that they would all be sleeping in. Solo was drenched in sweat hammering on the roof. He finally sat back and jumped off the roof . He landed on his feet.
"We completed the quest." Wufei said bordly. "and got Strength and Stamina increases. "
"Ugh." Solo hissed, "I'd rather be practicing my martial arts."
"You fight?" Wufei asked, finally interested.
"Of course I do." Solo scoffed. "Every Gundam Pilot has to know how to fight to defend themselves."
He jumped in to a tree and lay down closing his eyes. He'd be damned if he was sleeping in the same room as those five. He didn't trust them.
"Hey, come down here." Quatre called, "We have to find out how we're going to catch food!"
"Do it yourself." Solo scoffed, He sighed when a screen shot up in front of him.
Quest!
You're hungry! Find some berries or apples etc to eat!
Reward: Skill! weapon!
He sighed jumping down to the ground.
"You're lucky I'm getting a weapon out of this quest." he scoffed at all of them .
"He's anti social." Heero grunted.
"and you aren't?" Duo hissed back, "it's him!"
"Hush!" Heero growled, "He doesn't seem to know!"
Solo wondered when the quest would be over. He'd gathered two inventory slots full of berries and apples each. He'd used his mini comp to scan to see if they were poison . He was scanning everything trying to find out where he was. He could feel them watching him discreetly .
Skill unlocked !
Sense! Passive! You can sense people staring at you and their intent.
He rolled his eyes.
Quest complete!
Skill Learned!
Forging! You can now find and gather food and herbs.
Weapon obtained!
Rusted hunting knife!
"Dammit!" he cursed holding the knife in his hand. "Really? How do you expect me to do anything with this damn thing? " he sat down and ate an apple thinking. They watched him. "Oh, I know I'll make some spears and use them."
With that he was given a quest to find certain sticks and make them into spears. One of the boys had lit a fire he sat around it with them as he worked. They all talked and Duo went into a long winded detail on what video games were .
"We need a medical hut or something." Solo cut in as he kept working. "Yeah, a medical center." he nodded to himself. "Chi will come if we do that." he sharpened the long wooden pole in his lap with his rusted knife.
"Solo is right." Quatre pipped up. "What if one of us , who is not Heero, gets hurt? Trowa only has so much medical training. "
They watched Solo smirk and shared looks.
Solo started early. He had refused to sleep in the hut they had built the day before. He started working on the medical hut. Trowa joined him first then Heero. They all worked in silence. When they finished they went their separate ways.
Solo was practicing his martial arts from the beginning when he heard someone call out from the medical tent. He went running and meant the others there.
"CHI!" Solo called out then stopped short frowning and huffed. "Dammit, who are you?"
"I'm Sally Poe." The woman said.
"Dammit, Preventers Doctor." Solo spat at her feet making them all jump at the hatred in his voice. "Okay, I bet if extend the damn Medical Hut we'll get another Doctor..."
He was off muttering to himself. He set off in search of everything the quest he'd triggered said he would need to expand the medical hut he could hear them talking amongest themselves. He didn't care he was surrounded by Preventors he needed more Rebels.
"Heero, we have to go look for him." Duo stated two days later. "He could be hurt! It's been two days!"
Solo walked into the 'camp' pulling a tied boar behind him. He had a huge gnash on his cheek.
"here." He dropped the boar at their feet. "This should last us awhile if you build a food storage. I'm going to work on the medical hut."
"Wait!" Sally cried, "Let me look at that cheek!"
Solo spit at her stopping her.
"Stay away from me Preventor !" he growled. "I wont need you when I get my own Doctor! I have to upgrade your damn hut to level 5 then we'll get a new doctor."
With that he went off to begin working. His cheek stung a bit. Trowa and Wufei came to help him. Solo didn't mind them they were known to be quiet . Trowa hadn't said one word to him since they got here. Half way through the upgrades he was feeling faint. By that night they had the hut at level 5 . It was basically a very long hut. Solo fell on to the ground his vision blurring.
"SOLO!" Heero and Duo ran to him with Sally Poe. Suddenly, they were all jumping back someone had fired a gun.
A Chinese teenager was suddenly rolling Solo over and using a device to scan Solo.
"Dammit, Boss." the teen pulled out a pen sized device and shot a laser at Solo's cheek the Gnash slowly healed. "Okay, one of you help me get her inside. He's got a fever . "
When Solo woke up he felt as good as new.
"Chi!" he called, the Chinese teen rushed to him. "Finally, you have a gun on you?"
Chi sighed.
"Yeah, I have one." Chi said, the Pilots and Sally were standing near by and listening. "Only the one, boss. I'll hand it over but you have to know I'm not going anywhere unless I can defend myself. "
"I understand." Solo said, motioning to his medical officer. Chi rolled his eyes and gave his boss his gun. "You be careful , boss we have no way of getting bullets made."
"Dammit!' Solo huffed, he began thinking.
"You could..." everyone looked at Trowa, "Build a Blacksmith."
"Do we have anyone who would be considered a Blacksmith?" Solo asked, he suddenly looked like a hopeful kid . He was looking at Chi.
"Uh..." Chi frowned. "Leena, or Luke might qualify ... I mean both are Engineers . " he suddenly grabbed Solo as he went to run off. "Hey, what 's going on where are we?"
"All scans indicate Earth ." Solo told his friend. He sighed, "Fine , I'll try and build you something ."
"Beds would be nice." Chi said, looking around "This is not my normal work area. Tables. I have a good set of my tools with me." he patted the bags he was carrying. "You're lucky I was shipping out on a mission. I'm fully stocked. "
Solo nodded. He had unlocked Building on the first day but he didn't think it would work on making things like furniture.
After working for hours trying to find a way to do what Chi wanted he lay on the ground in front of the sleeping hut.
"I unlocked Carpentry " Trowa told Solo "I'll build things for the huts . You go do what you have to do."
Solo turned his head to blink up at the man. He showed no emotion.
"Th-Thanks."
Solo vanished from the camp for a week when he returned he had a large cut on his arm and was pulling a bear behind him. His left arm was hanging limp at his side, he had blood coming from his head.
He noted four sleeping huts had been built.
"SOLO!" Duo yelled, from the roof of the fourth one. "CHI!"
Chi cursed as he rushed to Solo. Everyone was shocked as Chi acted like this was the most normal thing in the world. Chi was soon taking his pen tool out and using it to heal the head wound. Wufei and Heero had taken the bear.
Chi sat Solo infront of the fire and used his Medical Scanner to project a 3-D model of Solo's left arm. He used his pen to shoot a laser at Solo's arm . he watched his model and everyone was surprised that Solo's arm was healing as Chi worked. Chi sighed, he'd thought this might happen when he was told what was up with his boss. He didn't really understand that his boss was a player just that he no longer had any skills he used to have and was as weak as a baby. His boss was very vulnerable and he didn't like that. He was wishing Pete, Luke, Lion and the others were here he wasn't mostly a pacifist and didn't like fighting that wasn't to say he couldn't he just didn't like it.
"You should have taken me with you." Chi finally said, "The guys explained what was going on to me you're going to need retraining. I'll help but you know I'm a ..."
"You only claim pacifism when it suits you." Solo scoffed. "isn't that how I broke my arm the first time?"
Chi blushed crimson.
"Okay, " Chi sighed, "I'll give you that. " he cleared his throat. "I'll still help you get back into shape. Or I'll do what I can until we can get some of the others here."
Solo nodded. That would really help.
"Did you use your gun to kill this thing?" Duo asked. "Oh, nope knife marks. Hey, give me your knife so I can cut this thing up I've only got my gun."
"He has a gun." Solo said, in an unemotional voice. "They've all got guns don't they?"
Chi sweat dropped.
"Now, now, they have to be able to defend themselves, boss." he said, "Don't go stealing their guns. Besides you wouldn't be able to pull the trigger on Yuy's gun, and Barton's is too big for your hand. Maxwell's would be okay for you, Chang's has a trigger that isn't as stiff as Yuy's , Winner's gun would be perfect for you though."
"Don't tell him that!" Quatre cried, " He can't have my gun!"
"Why can't he pull the trigger?" Heero asked.
"Oh, I have on going damage in my hands." Solo said, " Chi's taking care of it. "
Heero frowned. Just what kind of life Solo had lived in his 15 years.
"You shouldn't be doing any building..." Quatre started but Trowa put his hand on his shoulder and shook it. "I mean... Sally says she's going to sleep in the Medical hut , I'm sharing with Trowa, Heero and Duo are sharing and so far Wufei and Chi have been sleeping alone in the other two huts. I'm assuming you'll sleep inside Chi's hut?"
Solo nodded that sounded fine with him. Though he normally bunked with Lian his partner . He was exhausted but allowed Chi to lead him to their hut so that he could rest. He was threatened that he would be woken for dinner. Chi sighed leaning against the outside of the hut. He wasn't used to being solely responsible for Solo. He always had the others to help keep him in line so he didn't get himself killed. This was more work than he was used to. He normally just took care of his Boss' medical needs. He needed Lian, Pete and Rei. They all took care of him. He rubbed a hand over his face he didn't notice that the guys were watching him discreetly as they prepared the bear for dinner and other meals.
Chi walked over to the guys.
"Chang, I need you to help me make training dummies." Chi declared. " Martial Arts dummies to be exact. Boss needs to keep on top of his training or his back muscles seize up on him. "
Wufei shrugged and nodded, following the Teen because it was a good idea they could all use the training . Heero had been wondering what kind of life Solo had had and now Wufei wondered himself. He knew that Yuy had a similar problem do to his 'Self Destructing ' so many times. He wondered if Chi could use his devices on all of them they all had pains from the war.
Screaming woke Solo who burst out of the hut running toward the screaming.
"Petey!" The gundam boys lowered their guns. A brown haired blue eyed boy beamed brightly as Solo approached him. Chi followed behind him. "That's three of us! Do you have a gun?"
"BOSS!" Chi scolded.
"Yeah, here." Petey gave him a rifle out of a bag he was carrying. Solo equipped it on to his back. Pete was looking around. "I was ..."
"About to leave on a mission." Chi finished, "Yeah, me too. Chang helped me build a training area. Somehow we get Petey..."
Pete frowned.
"I don't get it." he said, "I'm a weapons specialist."
"Wonder what I have to build to get Rei." Solo yawned. "Well, morning work out , boys. "
Both boys saluted by put their fists over their hearts. They were soon doing their normal morning work out. Solo was beginning to feel his muscles loosen up which was good because it was making it hard to play this game/life thing. He hadn't been paying much attention to his stats, levels, or anything since this started he just wanted to get back to his life as soon as possible. Wufei decided to join them then the others decided to do the same. Sally sighed and tried to join them as well. She did have combat training working for the Preventors of course. She soon found out that these Rebels had more training then the Preventors as she was soon worn out. She couldn't believe that Chi was keeping up he didn't seem to be the type to be able to.
Solo was leading everything like he was used to it . She frowned just what was this kid? She pushed herself to keep going through the workout.
