Hello everyone, welcome to 1 of 2 Gundam Seed fan-fics I currently have that I am working on, this fan-fic comes from inspiration from the Buddy Complex anime as such Time Travel will be involved!

Now I won't bore you with too many details so we will go straight into the story!

Chapter 1

Ruined Past, Bright Future

(POV: Tony Vihik)

Hi there, my name is Tony Vihik, kinda obvious I suppose, but thats besides the point! I know you probably won't believe me but I actually have went into the future... Don't believe me? Then I should probably start at the beginning, it was March 5th, 2014. I live, or well use to live at Pittsburgh, in the great Keystone State in the United States, that would be what I want to say if it wasn't a total giant ruined city right now.

I am 17 years old right about now, I go to high school and have a normal life just like average kids do, course I consider myself to be a bit better than others I guess though I don't sweat those kind of details, they are just a waste of time and distracted me from what I need to focus on, which was to go to College, then start my career on whatever I was planning to spend my life on.

However tensions over in Europe has caused disruptions on those places, the Ukraine Crisis is what I am referring to where the tensions were so high enough that Russia decided to fire a nuke for some unknown reason thinking that will stop up, but what it did was something more, aside from thousands of dying.

But enough of that let me start on my own day that day, it was a normal Wednesday, everyone was getting ready to head home from school, they were getting their things from their lockers, I looked to my right and left as I did the same, I never took any books home with me at all, my reason?

Well in all honesty I never really needed them, I never study for anything, just memorized and used by head to get through most things, believe it or not I am a straight A student all across the board, however none of my predictions would prepare me for what Russia would do, I have kept a careful watch over the events of Ukraine ever since February the revolts that had kept going on for months now escalated, now Russia, The EU, and U.S./NATO counties were getting involved and soon the Pro-EU and Russian War would begin, at least that is what I call it.

I looked over to the girls to my right, did I have a crush on one of them? Maybe, but I was too afraid of talking to her, even though I probably should be, I talk with her friend a few times thanks to my Computer Programming class, (Yes my school has that.) but that doesn't really help me with that goal, just as I was about to close my locker the PA system turned on and the principal told us to try and find shelter inside the building's interior.

We didn't know what it was but for me I just ran to the closest classroom there is and checked the window as students went to the interior parts of the building, I might have heard the girls asking me where I was going, I was silent before giving them my answer, I told them I was just going to check and come right back, which I wish was true, maybe if I was with them... Maybe they would have the same chance at a second life as me.

After checking out the window I saw something coming down from the sky, it was a missile of some kind, however I knew instantly what it was, so at that instant I tried to ran but it was already too late from what I remember, there was a loud boom heard before the rushing smoke cloud and force hit the school and engulf the students outside the building, then the windows of a very strong glass cracked then broke before I myself was engulfed in the said smoke.

The last thing I saw was one of the girls that had followed me, I don't know why she did but it was the one girl I had a crush on, sometimes I wonder if she was able to get a second chance as well, but in reality that is nothing but an empty wish sadly.

After what seemed like an hour when I blacked out, I suddenly woke up hearing the sounds of some sort of battle going on, I could hear screams and the movement of heavy machinery, I slowly open my eyelids to not be faced with a blue sky, but a city in the sky, I turn my head side to side to see that there were buildings built onto the sides as if it was some kind of city wrap.

I hold my head as I get up from the cracked rubble that I was laying on, I hold my head then shake it side to side before looking around more closely making note of every detail, the city was destroyed or burning, it seems like a tornado went through but I knew this wasn't Pittsburgh or my school.

The sounds of the battle continue to ring in my ears as I suddenly hear something big approaching with the slight sound of thrusters, I look up into the open space between my position and the city above to see a large machine that was built in the shape of a human, I was surprised, I knew that my era wouldn't be getting mechs of any sort anytime soon, so the question is... Where? Or maybe more accurate, When am I?

I hold my head again, I look at my hand which was red with blood, it seems I bumped my head on something, my body felt weak but I didn't show normal signs of radiation or anything, its as if the bomb took me to some new dimension or time, luckily either way there won't be a paradox of any sort since this would be the future if I did go to the future.

Now back to the mech, I eye the mech again that was heading my way, it was Blue and White in coloring with a head bearing a crest of some sort, kinda like a samurai helmet did, before I could make anymore notes my head pounded in pain then looked at the chest area which opened up to reveal a person inside, I gulp a bit as the pilot got out then grapples down to the ground near me.

The guy didn't seem friendly, he had a red coloring pilot suit on and a helmet that hid his face, I was shaken when I had asked, "Um.. Excuse w-where am I?" He stares at me as if I was crazy, however he ignored it then walked up holding a gun pointed at me, I slowly raised my hands to show I wasn't going to resist at all as the man walked up to me, he grabs my head then examines it before typing my hands up.

He picks me up to get me on my feet then began to shove me toward to the mech before saying, "Dam Natural.. Can't you learn to do anything without trouble?" I raised an eyebrow at what the man said, what did he mean by Natural? I didn't really had the ability to deny or say anything since well I am tied up, and he is the one with the gun.

He told me to get in the mech which I do such getting pushed to the cramped space at the back of the seat, he told me not to bother him if I want to live as the cockpit closes up then the monitors in front of him turn on, I stayed silent out of respect of what the man wanted, which he seem surprised a bit before shrugging then began to pilot the mech.

I would feel a sudden jolt as the thrusters boost the unit into the air then launch off toward.. A hole in the city? Then it hit me, the reason why the city was like it was is because I was in some sort of space colony, well that explains one thing, but how did I end up here?

Many thoughts ran through my head remembering the events of what happened, from the nuke, and to my crush having the same fate basically, I sigh a bit quietly so I wouldn't bother the pilot, I didn't understand anything expect this much, the next moment though was something I never thought would be possible for me.

The unit goes passes the hole in which I see the vast emptiness that was space, I could see the many stars and darkness that was this vast openness of space, my jaw dropped a bit in amazement which was another weird thing for the pilot, the pilot began to move the mech off toward the direction to a spaceship of some sorts, most likely a carrier for mechs from what I could guess as the unit headed for the opened hole at the center of it.

The mech lands into the hanger of the carrier then the cockpit opens up, the pilot exits then turns to me motioning me to get out, I get out without hesitation then look around the hanger, I see that the mech I was in was now a gray color with 3 other mechs of similar coloring behind it, the pilot then pushes me forward with the gun pointed at my back, I sweat a bit then moved forward, the pilot's hand was on my shoulder to direct me better.

We stop however on the walkway on the side of the hanger, I keep looking forward but shift my eyes to see three people who I guessed were pilots due to them having the same outfit as the person who has him prisoner, they didn't have their helmets on however.

On the left we had a tan skin man with blonde hair, a guy, who I swear looks like a girl but I know he is a guy, with green hair in the middle, then to the right was a man staring at me straight in my eye when I looked toward him, he had green eyes and navy blue hair.

I stayed silent as I hear the pilot behind me take off his helmet then began to talk, "Sorry for being late, this stupid Natural was just laying down on the ground, I would have left him but I felt like helping the sore Natural." I had a look in confusion, there was that word again, 'Natural'.

I don't know what it meant clearly, I don't talk back or say anything since well I do have a gun to my back that could be fired at anytime, the guy with navy blue hair stares at me, I figured he was the leader, he was silent for a moment before looking at Yzak asking, "If you were helping him, then why do you have him tied up?"

Yzak who when I checked him from the corner of my eye, had white hair, he shrugged a bit before replying, "Its just for extra protection, not like this Natural can do anything to me but you never know, right Athurn?"

Athurn stared at Yzak before walked over, he gets rid of my bindings then moves Yzak away from me, I sigh with relief, glad to have the gun off my back as I rub my wrists a bit with freedom then stares at Athurn, I was silent not really knowing what to say however he puts a hand out to me, "Athurn Zala, sorry for the trouble my teammate has caused you."

I blinked for a minute surprised by the sudden introduction before shaking the man's hand, "Tony Vihik... I know this might sound weird but where am I?" I asked with a nervous voice, but it was less present thanks to the kind introduction.

Athurn looked at Yzak then to me, "Your on a ZAFT Nazca-class Destroyer, but that was obvious wasn't it, you were just rescued from Heliopolis" There was a pause from me, they all looked at each other before I began to speak up again.

"So then.. I'm NOT dreaming or in Pittsburgh right now?" I asked, Athurn stared at me a bit before giving me my answer, "No, you seem to be lost... First off let me introduce you to Dearka Elsman, Yzak Joule, and Nicol Amalfi."

I nodded to all three of them as a way of greeting them before turning my attention back to Athurn who continued, "Now with that settled, lets get you to the med bay, after that we will talk to you about your confusion." I slowly nodded before following the group of pilots to the med bay, I hear Dearka making a few jokes, I chuckle a bit out of a reaction to one of them before being brought to the med bay.

I was examined then bandaged before I was left alone for a period of time in some kind of interrogation room, I couldn't hear anything, the silence killed me, I began to fiddle with my pockets a bit before I came upon a picture in my pocket, I pulled it out the place it down on the table in front of me see my family was on it, I stared deeply at the picture before smiling a bit.

"If only there wasn't so much conflict in the world none of this would have happened..." He hear the door open causing him to look up, it was Athurn with another man who's face was hidden by a mask but I could make out the blonde hair.

I straighten myself up a bit then pull my chair in more before looking at the man who sits down, he stares at me then to Athurn before nodding, it was at this time I noticed the folder in Athurn's hand which were placed down on the table in front of me, it opens up showing my picture on it for some strange reason, I see a giant Z logo that says ZAFT next to the picture, I was confused for a bit before looking up at the man.

He points to the paper, "That right there is your official entry into the ZAFT military, before I explain, I should give you my name, I am Rau Le Creuset, I am sorry for the inconvenience and for the sudden entry however there is good reason, for you are a Coordinator, or at least a Natural Coordinator."

I was confused again, I stared at him wondering what he meant, "Natural... Coordinator.?" He nods before moving the first paper aside which I see a medical report, apparently as they examined me, they also checked other things, like my brain, my genes, etc.

"A Natural Coordinator, a rare type of person that only appeared during one time in our time line, tell me first, when and where are you from?" He asked me with his hands folded, Athurn looked at nodding at me for I would guess for support.

I slowly nod before explaining from beginning, I left out the part about my crush and got to the main part of it all, from the nuke, to the Russian and Ukraine incident before I finish my story, I then look at him, "So then... What is a Natural Coordinator?"

Creuset was silent for a moment before giving me an answer, "A Natural Coordinator, is a type of person who is a Natural human being with the ability and body of a Coordinator, you see Coordinators are genetically altered human beings made with the purpose of making humans better, for you that nuke not only sent you here, but improved your overall capabilities."

I was silent staring at the papers before looking up at the man, "You really believed my story?" He nodded, I was again silent, I didn't have any words as to how they found out or believed my so easily, "I see... Then why did you put me into the ZAFT military then?"

Creuset gave me my answer quickly, "Multiple reasons, one the Le Creuset Team, the squad that Athurn here is part of, is always in need of talent individuals like yourself, you also have no place to go, nor can you expect to go back home so right now this is your best option, you can ask if you don't want any part of this, but this way you will at least have some place to go."

I was silent, I couldn't really deny those things one bit, I nod before looking at him, "Alright... But are you sure you want me, I don't even know much about what has gone on in this era or anything, I don't even know how to pilot one of those..."

Athurn cut me off, "Mobile Suits, and that is why we are going to get you to study on these things, especially on combat using and without using Mobile Suits, you have the ability to do it easily it less than 5 hours, if you don't believe me..." He pulled out a giant book, it was a manual to something called a GINN, I gulp a bit seeing the book before I slowly opened the book, I slowly skim through some of the sketches and words before realizing they were all sticking to my head.

How I did so good at school is because my constant ability to daydream, I use that ability to daydream to think up my solutions faster than what I can type on a calculator due to memorization, however it seems I can do it even better than before, I continue to quickly skim through the book memorizing the sketches, instructions, and notes before finishing the book in less than 30 minutes, I look up seeing them both still there before nodding.

"I understand then... Well since I don't really have much of a choice I guess I will join ZAFT." Creuset nodded before getting up to walk out of the room, "Athurn make sure he gets a suit and uniform, he will be under your care for awhile until he gets settled in." Athurn salutes to Creuset before looking towards me.

Athurn was silent before smiling, "Its good to have a new friend to count on." He grabs my hand as if to shake it, "Lets work together from now on Tony." I was silent before nodding to him, I don't know how I was pulled into this, however this was only the start of my new life for both good and bad.
