(Authors note: This story series takes place over a duration of about 4 years. So please enjoy the story. It is also a self insertion AU fic. ^^ )
Place: Real-world Earth, Time: 10:30 AM, Place: Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Today is like no other day. Bright, sunny and hardly a cloud in the sky. But there seems to be a strangeness to the air all around the city, almost as if something of a major importance is about to happen. There are people walking about and enjoying themselves.
All of a sudden there's a bright beam of light that hits an apartment building in the centre of Dartmouth. No one seems to take notice of it as if it's not there at all. after about a minute it just disappears up into the sky.
Place: Gaea, Time: early morning, Place: An open field surrounded by thick woods.
The day seemed to be clear and sunny with a slight breeze. There were some ruins near the middle of the field. The birds chirped and sang and the bees buzzed. All of a sudden the beam of light from earth comes down from the sky along with a second beam and both land in the middle of the field, which cause all the birds and bee's to go quiet.
After a couple of seconds the beam of light from earth disappeared back up into the sky leaving a crumpled up form of a 20-year old laying in the field. After about a minute the second beam disappears back up into the sky leaving a large heavily armoured, souped up stealth fighter; the wings are a deep red in colour when they are supposed to be black and they are of a different shape then what they normally would be.
"Ahhhhh. Ouch", said the man all the while he's getting up and turning around to see the fighter. "Did anyone get the number of that.....bus?"
Just then there's a loud roar from the other side of the field and some bushes were being crushed. All of a sudden a large reptilian crashes out into the field and turns and sees the man, who then turns and runs to the fighter jet. The reptile let out another loud roar and chased the man, just as he got to the jet and grabbed the hand holds and raced up and jumped in. Then he pulled the canopy closed and quickly puts the helmet on that he found there.
"Damn it, how do you start this thing up", said the man after flipping a couple of switches in quick procession. All of a sudden he flipped one more switch which turned it on. "Good, 'bout time too."
After a couple of seconds there's a dull roar from the jet. The sound from the jet caused the creature to stop in it's tracks and growl at the jet.
"Missiles, missiles, where are the freaking missiles at", said the man.
After a couple of seconds of searching and flipping of switches the man accidentally flipped a switch, that has the letters F,G , and B, to the letter B which causes the ship to change to a more humanoid form (making it look like a large knight in armour).
"Damn, I've got to keep this. Might prove to be of use to me since I don't know where the hell I'm at", said the man.
After a couple of seconds of standing around, the lizard charged at the mecha with a large defiant roar.
"Oh, I don't think so pal. You are not even going to try what I think your going to try." All of a sudden the man pulled two levers and then pressed the button on one of the levers, which caused the mecha's hand to come up and fire the gun that it's holding. He hit the now charging lizard in the chest and caused the lizard to stop in mid-stride.
After a couple of seconds of standing, the lizard's knees collapse causing the creature to fall to the ground in a heap. The mecha then looked around to see if there's any more of the creatures in the vicinity.
"Okay, that was relatively easy. Now to get out of this and see what in the world that thing is", said the man.
After a few minutes of searching the control panels and pressing some of the buttons, the man found the right button and managed to get out of the mecha. After he climbed down he walked over to where the creature was laying and bleeding from the gaping bullet hole. After a few minutes of studying the creature he just shrugged and walked over to the ruins and walked around them for a few minutes until he came apon an entrance into the ruins.
"Hmm, this place gets curiouser and curiouser by the moment", the man said as he went through the doors and into the ruins.
After walking for a while he came to a cleared out area that had an odd feeling to the air. In the middle of the clearing, there was a tree split down the middle. The cause of the split was a large sword sticking down the middle of it. The sword had a blade of about one or two feet in diameter with runes down the middle on the flat sides of the sword. The hilt was in the shape of a European dragon with it's wings spread out and the tail going down a little bit of the sword's blade. The swords entire length was a good seven feet in length.
"Hello there gorgeous! Where have you been all my life", the man walked over to the sword and grabbed the hilt. As he did so a bright comet flashed across the sky. The man gave a sharp tug on the sword. The sword gave way to the man's pull and came out of the tree trunk.
"Oof", The man tested the weight of the sword in his hands and after a couple of swings he looked down at the sword. " Geez, you're pretty light for something so big."
:: Are you making fun of my weight, pal? :: asked a mysterious voice.
"Um, where is that voice coming from?" Asked the man, looking around.
:: Down here in your hand, it's the sword who's talkin'. :: Said the voice.
"This has got to be a dream. First the mecha, now a talking sword." The man looked down at the sword in his hands. "Either that or I'm going insane."
:: Keep dreamin', you were the one who pulled me out of the tree. So you get to keep me. :: Said the sword. :: Now, what do you want to do? ::
"I'm leavin', that's what I'm doing." The man turned and started to leave with the sword in his hands. "This place gives me the creeps..."
After a couple of minutes of walking around, the man finally makes it back outside and walked over to the mecha and just stood there.
:: What in the world is that thing? :: Asked the sword. :: Some sort of guymelef?? ::
"Nope. It's a Veritech if I'm not mistaken", said the man. " A weird Veritech, but a Veritech none-the-less."
:: By the way, I forgot to ask you your name sir. :: Said the sword.
"Oh, yeah. The name's Joseph Jason Edwin." Said Joseph, looking down at the sword. "and yours?"
:: Malisk Firestorm is my name. ::
"Well, it's nice to meet you Malisk. Um I take it that you don't know how to drive this thing. I've been having trouble trying to figure it out, so if you got some info that I could use, I'll need it." said Joseph.
:: Unfortunantly I don't. :: said Malisk.
"Well, we'll do it the old fashioned way", said Joseph shrugging. "we'll press some buttons until we can get the thing moving."
Joseph walked over to the ladder and started to climb it. Once inside the mecha Joseph put Malisk down beside him and started up the mecha. After a couple of seconds Joseph put the helmet on and moved the lever over to the letter G, which maked the Veritech change into it's guardian mode.
"Here we go, better buckle up", Joseph said, all the while he buckled himself in and put Malisk into a safer place.
After a few minutes, the mecha started to race towards the far end of the field, until finally, it jumped up into the air. At the top of its jump, Joseph moved the lever to 'F' status, which caused the mecha to change into its fighter mode.
After about an hour of flight time, thirteen blips appeared all of a sudden on the radar. Eleven of the blips seemed to be heading towards the other two blips. All the blips seemed to be five miles away from the plane to the west.
"Looks like someone in trouble, with a capital 'T'" said Joseph.
:: Should we help them Joseph? :: Asked Malisk.
"We should, but I don't think that we're prepared to fight anyone yet, Malisk", said Joseph.
:: I believe that I can fix that, Joseph. :: All of a sudden a bright light emanated from Malisk and filled the cockpit. After a couple of seconds, the light faded and Joseph could see again. :: There, that should be more then adequate. ::
"What did you just do Malisk?" Asked Joseph without looking down at the sword. "And why do I feel so strange for??"
:: Just some gifts from me. First, I just read your mind so I can know everything about you, and then I gave you what you wanted for a while now. :: Said Malisk.
"Which is what exactly?" Asked Joseph.
:: You know that form of yours? The one that is a combination between a human and a zoo of animals?? that form. I also gave you the power to 'shift' into it at will. I also gave you a lot of those interesting powers that I deemed worthwhile. :: Said Malisk.
"Thanks. I think." said Joseph. "Now, let's go introduce them to the Epsilon Harold."
Joseph slowly turned the veritech towards the battle-to-be, all the while climbing higher into the sky. After another two minutes of flight, Joseph flipped the Veritech around so he could see what was going on below him.
"Let's see now, shall we?" Joseph said while watching what's going on. As he looked down, he saw ten grayish mecha and one red zoom towards a large ship with two large rocks attached to it, and a weird looking mecha in the shape of a dragon being ridden on by some guy. A couple of seconds later the mecha start to engage the dragon mecha and flying ship. "What is that moron doing? he's going to get himself killed."
A split second later the Epsilon Harold goes into a steep dive. A split second later, the Epsilon zoomed past ten feet above the guy on the strange mecha and fired off eleven of his missiles at the ten grey flying mecha. As the mecha tried to swerve out of the way of the missiles, a couple of them hit each other and exploded, while ten of the missiles struck the others, except for the one after the red mecha which got shot down.
Just then the red mecha took off in the opposite direction, away from the fight-that-was-supposed-to-happen.
"Oh no you don't." said Joseph, and zoomed off after the red mecha. "You're not going anywhere pal until I'm done with you."
:: Joseph, don't. He's not worth it. :: Said Malisk.
"*sigh* You're right Malisk", said Joseph and veered off, going to the nearest lake. After about five minutes of flight, they arrived at the lake and set down, switching the Veritech to guardian mode.
"I guess, we can relax now Malisk", said Joseph as he climbed out of the Veritech (which was still in guardian mode). He still held Malisk in his hands.
Upon getting down onto the ground, Joseph walked over to the lake and knelt down, putting Malisk down on the ground beside him. Using cupped hands Joseph leaned over the edge of the lake and brung up some water to his mouth. After about twenty minutes of drinking, Joseph stood up, picked up Malisk, and walked over to the Epsilon Harold. All of a sudden the birds went silent, which caused Joseph to stop and listen. They were so silent in fact that he could only hear the lake lapping the at the shore. The wind in the trees whispered and his heart pounded.
All of a sudden, a twig snapped in some bushes nearby.
:: Joseph. Someone is in the bushes to your left. :: Warns Malisk.
"I know Malisk. I can hear them. How many??" whispered Joseph.
:: Two. Both males, both humanoid. :: Answered Malisk.
"You know, you don't have to hide in those bushes from me. I don't bite." called Joseph, without looking over.
A couple of seconds later, a nineteen year old man with jet black hair and a twenty-five year old man with long blond hair came walking out of the bushes. Both of them were carrying curious looks on their faces.
"So, care to explain why you both are spying on me? And who, preytell, are you??" Asked Joseph as he turned to the two men.
"First: we were not spying on you. And my name in Van Fanel and he is Allen Schezar", answered the nineteen year old.
After a few minutes of talking with Joseph explaining how he got there, Van offered Joseph to join them against Dilandau. After a minute considering Van's offer, Joseph looked at him and accepted.
"So, where is your ship at exactly?" asked Joseph.
"Back there", answered Van, pointing to the southwest.
"Okay, Lord Van. If you give me two minutes, I'll bring the Epsilon Harold", said Joseph, all while walking over to his ship.
Joseph then climbed up into the Veritech and started it up. After a minute of flipping some switches Joseph started to walk the Harold along, all the while following Van.
"Hey Van. Hold on for a minute." Called Joseph through the speakers as he switched the Harold through it's transformation into Battloid. "Okay, I'm done."
After a two mile walk, all the while the Epsilon Harold was clearing a path to the ship using the autocannon as a type of ram, Joseph, Van and Allen came to an open field, with patches of wild flowers and bushes. About five seconds later there was a loud screech and a rustle in the tall grass to the left. All of a sudden a woman of about seventeen years of age jumped out of the grassy wall. It took Joseph all of a second to notice that she had feline ears and tail.
"Lord Van! You're back!" Yelled out the woman, all the while licking Van on the cheek.
"Hello Merle. You can come out now Joseph." said Van, looking at the woman, and then turning to the Epsilon Harold.
"On my way lord Van. I just need a minute to shut down some of these systems", said Joseph, through the speakers.
After a couple of seconds, the Epsilon Herald switched over to Guardian mode and Joseph jumped out, still wearing his fight helmet and carrying Malisk. He walked over to where a group was starting to form around Van and Allen.
"So, Van, what was that thing that you were riding on when I came down?" asked Joseph, coming up to Van and taking off the helmet.
"Hmm?" asks Van, turning around and looking at Joseph. "Oh that was Escaflowne."
All of a sudden, a tall, physical ninteen year old brunette came walking out of the group. She looked at Van, after glancing at Joseph. "Hey Van, who's this guy?"
"Hello Hitomi. This is Joseph, he's the pilot of that Guymelef over there that blew up Dilandau's forces", said Van pointing to the Epsilon Harold.
"Hello Joseph" said Hitomi, turning to Joseph with a dream like look in her eyes. "I'm Hitomi Kanzaki."
"How do you do. I take it that you're from earth too then? Probably from the Japans no doubt", said Joseph, who gets an amazed nod from Hitomi.
"And this is Merle." said Van, calling Joseph's attention to the cat woman at Van's side. She was looking Joseph up and down in a way that a scientist would look at a new scientific discovery.
