Gundam Eternal Flame
After Colony 247
50 years ago, the Gundams were the protectors of the colonies, and Earth. Today, the Earth and colonies work together to bring about peace between them. With this new found peace, the economy flourished. A large corporation has rose up in the wake of the destruction of the Barton foundation, Infinity Corp. They are the suppliers of goods and raw materials to the colonies and earth citizens. Unbeknownst to all, this company is also secretly mass producing mobile suits that were once used by OZ and the Earth Sphere Alliance for the use of Silver Scythe, an underground movement, poised on the brink of beginning their assault on Earth. The peace the Gundams had fought so hard to achieve has been shattered. Even the once influential Releena Peacecraft is powerless to stop them. Only the long dead scientists who designed the original Gundams hold the key.
Episode I
The New Enemy
Location: England
The hangar lights shown in the early morning sunrise. Inside, 10 Leos stood tall with the tiny pilots standing near them.
"These Leos need to be in working condition if we want to be able to protect the town".
Several men moved toward the large machines and onto the mobile platforms that rose and fell along the exterior of the suits. Alamano Flashmar viewed the repairs on the mobile suits. He glanced down to his data pad, scanning down the list. Turning, he began to walk towards the door.
"Hey, dad!" a voice yelled.
Alamano turned, and saw a young boy running toward him.
"Dren, what are you doing here?" Alamano said to the boy.
"Dad, I just wanted to see if the repairs are complete on your Leo" Dren answered.
"Everything is complete, and I'm going home" Alamano said.
"I'll check it out myself dad. Ill go for a little walk" said Dren.
"I'm to tired to argue with you Dren. Have it back in the hangar by 9:00" Alamano said.
He turned again and walked out the door.
"All RIGHT!" Dren yelled after the door shut.
He whirled and ran towards the green Leo in the back of the hangar. He ran to the platform, and pulled the lever to rise it into the air. Coming to a stop in front of the cockpit hatch, he opened it and leapt inside. After closing the hatch, he turned on the main reactor and had the suit take a step back from the platform. Mechanics and pilots alike cleared a path for the mighty machine. The main hangar door opened to the cool morning air and the first rays of the rising sun. Walking along the edge of the small town, he turned to the forest, and entered the thick foliage.
Across town, just over the gentle sloping hills, stood 10 Leo suits all ready for battle. One rose its machine gun up and motioned the others forward. The small platoon of suits marched forward and over the hill into the empty streets. The leading suit pointed its gun at the closest building and began firing. The brick and mortar shattered and collapsed, and then a massive foot of the Leo crushed the remains. A voice came over one of the suits speakers
"Spread out, and secure the grounds. Looks like there's gonna be no resistance here" it said.
"We ain't gonna get paid if we don't take control".
8 of the nine broke into pairs, and went in different directions. The remaining suit stayed with the leader. Turning, they also went in a different direction. People were flooding out of their houses, running. One man pulled out a radio and called out to the hangar.
"WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!"
Alamano had just gotten home when he heard the alarms going off. Leaping from his chair he bolted back out the door, grabbing his machine gun. He checked the ammo, and pulled open the door. He watched as truck drive by. He ran at full speed and leapt into the back of the truck, hoping it was heading in the way of the hangar. He got into a low crouch and waited, but suddenly the truck stopped, and he was thrown to the floor. He heard gun fire, and then the truck exploded. 2 Leo walked by the smoldering wreckage of the truck, and continued their rampage.
Dren was already on his way back to the hangar when he got the distress signal. He immediately kicked the suit into a full fledged run. Heading back to the town, he readied his dober gun in a steady position. He had soon reached the edge of the town, and stopped just where the trees stopped. Waiting in the cover of the thick foliage, he saw 2 Leo marching up the street. One of them stopped, and began firing into the nearby homes. Dren's Leo leapt out of the trees and fired rapidly into the 2 Leo suits. One suit exploded brilliantly. The second tuned and began to fire.
"We have confirmation of an enemy boss" the pilot of the enemy Leo said into the radio.
Remembering his fathers heavy modifications, he kicked the booster pack into maximum drive. Leaping forward, the Leo flew directly toward the suit, but suddenly pulled off to the side and firing the dober gun into the side of the enemy suit. Setting his radio for scan, he listened for any chatter. Almost immediately it picked something up.
"Meet in the town square. We will regroup and prepare"
"Sir, I have confirmation of 4 Leo suits. They have myself and 2 others preoccupied at the moment" another pilot answered.
Dren laughed, realized that the Battalion was already taking action against the invaders. He started to walk towards the town square. His Leo walked over the sloping road to the middle of the town. As the square came into view, he made a quick evaluation of the scene. Noticing the Local Defense Battalion was receiving a beating he reloaded his gun. 8 Leo suits were pummeling 5 Local Defense Battalion Leo suits. He pulled out his beam saber, lunged forward and slashed the 2 closest Leo suits across the midsection, causing them to explode. Suddenly, several suits directed machine gun fire towards him. The Leo leapt back and side to side on the more powerful engines, but it still couldn't dodge all the heavy fire.
"Come on! You guys can do better than that!" Dren yelled.
A picture of a scruffy looking man appeared on his screen.
"You, I will destroy you" he said angrily.
Dren replied "I want to fight you, one on one".
"That isn't as problem" the man replied.
As the remaining Leo troops turned back to the Local Defense Battalion, one Leo opposite him stepped forward and leveled his machine gun on Dren's suit. Just as his Leo set down on the ground, the enemy Leo leapt forward, but Dren pulled the beam saber back and ran the blade right through the center of the Leo, directly through the cockpit. He then slowly pulled the blade up, through the top of the suit. He then put out an open message for everyone to hear.
"I am Dren Flashmar, and I will have my revenge on all of you" he said calmly.
The engines blasted open to full power, he fired his machine gun into the remaining enemy Leo suits. As one exploded, he flew through the smoke and slashed another in half. The other Leo suits opened fire, but to no avail. Each one was cut down by Dren's beam saber. One last suit remained, trying to step back and escape.
"Where do you think you're going!" Dren yelled.
"How…how did you manage to do all this?" the pilot stammered.
"Its time to finish you off!" Dren answered.
The suit lunged forward and cleaved the arms off the suit and slashed the torso completely off. As the torso hit the ground, the suit spewed fire from the waist of the wasted suit. Powering down, he reached up to open the cockpit door, when he stopped. Something shiny caught his eye. A CD was taped to the side of the cockpit. He pulled it off and put it into the drive next to the screen. It was his father who popped up on screen.
"Father…" Dren said quietly.
"Dren, I knew you would fight one day, and I am well prepared to fuel your desire for battle. I realize that by the time you see this, I will be dead. Don't get upset, I know you will become one of the greatest pilots of all time. I came into possession of one of the greatest suits of all time, called a Gundam. It was given to me by a man who told me to keep this suit stored away until the time rises that we need it again" said his father.
"A Gundam?" Dren wondered. 'How could my father have acquired such an amazing suit?' Dren thought.
"This suit has the capabilities of several of the most powerful suits in the universe, such as the Gundams who had saved the Earth so many years ago" his father continued "and it is a short distance from here, up in the hills. You will have to find the entrance, which is a hidden cave. When you locate this suit, please, fulfill my dying wish, protect the innocent, and bring evil to its knees. There are also 3 other Gundams located around the globe. What you have just witnessed is a small part of an underground group of soldiers wanting control of the Earth, as the Barton Foundation, and Oz once did. Stop them at all costs. After this message ends, follow the map that the computer supplies you. Goodbye my son".
As he finished, a file was pulled up on the main screen. Hitting a button, the computer printed a map out. Dren grabbed his fathers Local Defense Battalion garrison cap and the map and jumped out of the cockpit and onto the ground. As he landed, everything began to sink in. He was in possession of one of the most powerful mobile suits in the universe, a Gundam!
It wasn't long before Dren was sprinting into the hills. The 3 remaining members of the Local Defense Battalion tried to stop him, but he just kept running. He had soon disappeared into the woods, looking for the cave. After searching for a while he stumbled upon a huge wall of ivy. He knew he had found it. He pulled the ivy away, and saw the most amazing sight he had ever seen.
A Gundam filled up the entire cave. It was in a kneeling position so it could fit under the low roof.
"Wow" Dren said in amazement.
He ran to where the cockpit was and opened the door. As the door opened he leapt up and jumped into the pilots seat.
"Time to see this baby in action" he said aloud.
He pulled up the suits capabilities onto the main screen. Words filled the screen.
Statistics:
4 pronged pincer claw attached to a staff.
-500 meter steel cable attached to the claw.
-Launch capabilities
-5 pulse capsules in the staff.
Beam saber (red blade)
10 flame-throwers all located at different points on his body:
2 flame throwers jutting off shoulders.
Shoulders open and reveal 1 flame-thrower in each.
Chest opens and reveals 4 flame throwers
1 flame-thrower on each knee
Flash cannon
-carries 20 canisters.
Vulcan gun:
-400 bullets
Vernier engines
-thruster output of 88150 kg total
"Amazing capabilities" Dren said aloud.
He decided there was only one way out. He grabbed the control stick and pulled out the staff. Opening the claws all the way, he rammed it into the roof of the cave and launched one of the pulse capsules into the roof. A few seconds later, the capsule exploded and the entire roof caved in.
"Time to test the power of this thing" Dren said, and pushed the engines to full power and blasted through the tons of dirt above him.
The Gundam was an awesome sight as it rose from the earth. It landed and Dren was already gripping the main engine controls. Cranking the lever all the way forward, he blasted up into the sky.
"COME ON, SHOW ME THE POWER!" Dren screamed, as if the machine was alive.
The engines were running at maximum output. Dren was straining under the output of the suit. He suddenly cut the power to half, and halted in mid-air. He was straining for breath, and had almost passed out. He barely had enough strength to check his coordinates. He couldn't believe his eyes. He was over 4 miles away from the cave he had lifted off from, and only in 20 seconds. He slowly lowered to the ground and landed with a soft thud.
Dren was amazed at the abilities of this suit. He hadn't even tried out the other weapons, such as the flash cannon, or the vulcan guns. He couldn't wait to get into combat with this suit. Pulling out the claw staff, he turned on the engines to half power, and began the journey back to the town. He suddenly picked up 10 blips on his sensor.
"What the….?" he said to himself. As the town same into view, he saw 5 Aires and 5 Leos assaulting the town.
"NOOOOOO!" Dren screamed. He felt the familiar rage surging up in his veins.
He cranked the engines to maximum, and surged forward. He then drove the 4 pronged claw through the nearest Leo. The Aires all did reverse barrel rolls and spiraled back towards Dren. He suddenly received a transmission from another enemy suit.
"WHO ARE YOU?" the transmission said.
"I am Dren Flashmar, and I will have my revenge for the death of my father"
The Gundam leapt forward and the Vulcan guns came alive, spraying bullets into the remaining Leos. Exploding, the Aires turned tail, and sped away at top speed.
"You're not getting away" Dren said.
He immediately pulled out the flash cannon, and steadied the sight on the retreating Aires and pulled the trigger. One capsule launched toward them. The capsule cruised directly into the center of the group of Aires and exploded. The explosion was blinding, and he had to look away to avoid hurting his eyes. He suddenly remembered the sheer power of one of those capsules. The pure heat from the explosion would overheat and cause any ordinary suit to explode, let alone the flames. The power and strength was equal to 10 napalm bombs. He saw the town crumble apart from the intense heat and flames from the canister.
"NOOOOOOO!!!!!" Dren screamed as he saw the place of his birth and childhood crumble around him.
The sheer strength of this suit was overpowering, and Dren then realized his mistake. He should have given chase, not unleash a weapon that he did not know completely. That was when he pushed the engine control to full throttle, and blasted away from his wasted home.
"I will find the men responsible for this"
Location: Sydney
The hustle and bustle of Sydney was in full swing. People rushing left and right, tourists talking photos and purchasing over-priced souvenirs, and children running and jumping in the park, which was located next to a beautiful shore by the bay. Little did they know that in moments, a terrorist attack was going to rock the city.
Suddenly an explosion rocked a large building at the edge of the park, children and parents were thrown from where the were standing, and glass and shrapnel was flying everywhere. 20 Cancer rose from the serene bay and launched missiles into the park. Hundreds were killed within moments. From the air, 4 helicopters flew in, each carrying 1 Leo with 4 cables. The cables were detached, and the 4 Leo dropped to the ground, letting their booster jets slow their descent.
Inside the cockpit of one of the Cancer, the pilot waited for his instuctions from his leader.
" What the hell is taking so long?" he said to himself "We should already be in the city".
He jumped as a transmission came through. The picture of the leader of the operation, popped up on the screen.
"Leos, move into the park and gain control. Destroy all trees, lights and fences. I want this park leveled. After that is completed, Cancers will launch missiles into the buildings on the edge of the city. I want complete control" he said.
"Well I guess this its time to start" the pilot said, but just as he was finishing, he saw to glowing green eyes appear in his main screen. The next thing he saw was two steel blades slide right through his cockpit, and gushing water, but by that time, he was already dead.
Orders had just been given to his troops, and all were waiting for the Leos to finish their assignment, when one pilot saw one of the Cancer explode from 2 blades piercing through the suit.
"All Leos, move back to the bay, we are under attack!" he announced to his troops.
'I thought all military suits were destroyed for world peace and pacifism 25 years ago' he thought to himself.
Just as he had finished, he saw a huge suit rise from the water. He was speechless.
"ITS A GUNDAM!" he yelled.
The Gundam put away one long blade onto is back and then he surged forward and slashed the Cancer all the way across the top. The Cancer exploded in a giant fireball.
"Hey you stupid morons, I'm Melissa Peacecraft, and I'm here to protect this lands honor. You must stop this attack on them immediately" the pilot spoke.
A compartment opened on the left leg, and the Gundam reached down and pulled out a compact beam rifle. The Leos already had begun firing on her, but the bullets were having no effect. She placed the other blade back into the sheath in the back, and leveled the rifle at the closet Leo. Pulling the trigger, the rifle mowed down the Leo. The remaining Leos tried to find cover in the parts of the park that weren't destroyed. The Cancers had begun firing torpedoes and missiles at the Gundam.
"Gundam Vapor and I will defeat you, even if you outnumber me 20 to one" she said quietly to herself.
Pulling up hard on the control stick, she turned and pushed two buttons, the firing button and a second which opened several vents on the suits. These vents began to release fog and vapor into the battle area. The Vulcan guns began flaring, and the path of the bullets passed over several Cancer, and which in turn, they exploded brilliantly. The rest dove deep into the bay.
"You think you can run?" she said.
The Gundam's shins opened, and 15 torpedoes slid out into the water. They sped off and seconds later multiple explosions surged out of the ocean. Melissa turned her attention to the remaining Leos. When the suit finally marched onto shore, they were nowhere to be seen through the heavy fog. Melissa turned on the heat sensor, and immediately picked out three distinct shapes.
Putting the beam rifle away in the compartment in the leg, a circular portion on the palm of the hand opened, The cords running from inside the suit to the exterior arm became very stiff. The suit suddenly lunged forward and sped towards the Leos. Holding one hand out, a liquid sprayed from the nozzle and covered the nearest Leo. Hardening, Melissa drove the Gundam's other arm through the enemy suit, causing it to shatter.
"Nothing can stand up to liquid nitrogen" Melissa said. Leaping up into the air, she soaked the remaining two and as she landed, he stepped right onto the suits, crushing them beneath her feet.
"So much bloodshed, and for what? You are going against everything pacifism stands for, but then again, so am I" Melissa said. She then turned and marched back into the bay.
Location: West Point, New York
The band played as the cadets marched across the field, while inactive Leos stood as a reminder of days gone by. A colonel looked on while talking to an active sergeant of the unit who was marching by.
"I still think we should have kept a few suits in working condition, just in case, you know?" he said aloud.
"All suits were dismantled or shut down after the Barton Foundation defeat sir. The Preventers don't even have mobile suits" the sergeant answered.
Just as the band finished playing, the field was ripped apart by a shower of bullets. The cadets and band all ran for cover as 15 Aires cruised overhead.
The colonel stood unmoving. He stood his ground even as the Aires doubled back. At that point, the colonel had moved to his jeep, and pulled out he passenger seat, revealing a hidden compartment with a quad missile launcher inside. The badly shaken sergeant looked up and saw the colonel standing in the field, steadying the launcher on the Aires. Pulling the trigger 3 times he managed to take out 3 of the Aires, but as the remaining passed over they launched missiles, which all exploded around the colonel.
"COLONEL!!!!!!!!!!" the sergeant screamed.
The Aires had all doubled back again, and had slid to a halt in the center of the field.
"The field has been cleared" one Aires pilot said.
Before the Aires could even secure their position, they were all knocked over by a shock-wave. Looking over to the bleacher area, there stood a large mobile suit with huge fists. The suit then slammed the fist into the ground, creating another shock-wave, stopping the Aires from regaining an upright position.
"Mobile suits! I thought you guys would never come!" came through the speaker.
The suit made his way across the field, slowly advancing on the Aires.
"Identify yourself!" the Aires commander said.
"I'm Charlie DoWarn, and my Gundam and I are going to take you out!" he yelled, as his suit surged forward.
"IT CAN'T BE! THE GUNDAMS DON'T EXIST ANYMORE!!!" another pilot yelled.
In one motion, he slammed the suits fists together, causing them to be charged with energy, and pulled out a huge hammer from his back. The pilot looked into his main view screen, only to see the huge hammer come crashing into it. He died instantly. A few Aires had managed to make it back into the air. They began to swoop back around to make a pass at the Gundam.
"So, you want to play. WELL, COME AND GET ME!" he yelled as he jumped into the air.
As one Aires flew past, he stuck out his hand and ripped out the engine of the suit as it passed. The suit went into a barrel roll and exploded as it hit the mountainside near the field. Remembering the other Aires on the field, he smashed his fists together once again and passed the energy right into the hammer. He pointed this directly at the Aires who were struggling to regain footing.
"You Aires aren't even a challenge!!" Charlie said.
Purple energy blasted out of the head and pummeled the Aires. The engines shorted out and exploded, showering parts everywhere. The 2 remaining Aires had already turned tail and ran. Pulling back on the control stick, the Gundam turned, and blasted forward.
"Come on Pulsar, lets move!"
Within seconds, Charlie had already caught up with them and had moved in between them.
"Have you two met yet? Well let me introduce you!" Charlie said out loud. With that, Pulsars two huge hands grabbed the Aires, and slammed them face first into each other, using their own momentum to kill them.
As the flames cleared, the Gundam came flying back to the field. As he landed he stepped right on the remains of a ruined Aires. Just to make sure, he pulled out his hammer, and smashed the rest of the Aires pieces. After demolishing the Aires, he shouldered the mighty hammer, and turned to the cadets and sergeant standing off to the side. Giving a huge salute he said
"Its been real, but just to let you know, your going to hear a lot about me soon".
After putting away the hammer, he took off and flew into the distance.
Location: former France
The sun was beginning to set over Paris. As the sun was lowering below the horizon, 1 carrier came directly out of that direction. Not able to be seen by the naked eye, it was to late when they released 25 Aires, 5 which carried Leos on large cable support wires. As they swooped in from the sky, their guns blazing as they pummeled the restaurants and stores surrounding the tower.
"Secure the perimeter, and then have the 2 Leos move in and scale the tower to take control of the top. We need to give them 1 minute" the leader spoke to his team.
"Roger that, leader"
"Move out"
As the Aires destroyed most of the area around the tower, they were unaware that they were being watched. As the first Leo reached the tower, they saw a mobile suit launch out from the shadows of the nearby park. Two hooked blades appeared in the darkness, and then out stepped a broad shouldered mobile suit, carrying 2 blue bladed beam scythes.
"This is a city of love, not war. Please, leave, before I have to kill you" the pilot of the suit said.
"Who are you?" one Leo pilot said.
"I'm Macron Clover, and Calypso and I will destroy you" the pilot responded.
"Yeah right" the Leo replied.
"I warned you" the pilot replied once again. It bounded forward, but an Aires slammed into it just before it careened into the Leo. Before the 2 suits hit the ground, the hooked blade slashed through the Aires.
"THATS A GUNDAM!!!!" one Aires pilot yelled.
"Continue with mission, but Aires will attack the suit" the leader said bravely.
The Leos turned on the booster packs, and began their ascent to the top. The Gundam had already flew forward and grabbed another Aires. The Vulcan guns were blazing, and the Aires exploded. Whirling the 2 weapons expertly, the pilot broadcast out a wide message over the speaker.
"I told you to leave, but you just wouldn't listen"
The Leos were halfway to the top of the tower. The engines of the Gundam roared to life, and it propelled itself up the tower after them. The Leos were much slower due to the engine speed, and the Gundam caught up easily. As he passed the first Leo, he let his scythe drag through the suit, cleaving it in half, and it exploded. The other Leo, who was farther up, pivoted slightly, and began firing on it. He pulled up his shield, and absorbed the blows. Putting away the scythes, he ignited a blade on both arms. Each blade was about half the length of a beam saber. The engine flared to double the length and the Gundam flew forward, and slashed the remaining Leo in half. Looking to the side, the remaining Aires were sweeping in for the kill.
"Why are you still fighting?" he said, extinguishing his blades, and pulling out the beam scythes once again.
He locked the two handles together, he ignited the 2 blades, and they were pointing in two directions. He leapt away from the tower and into the Aires. Within seconds, the Aires were hitting the ground in pieces. He whirled the blade faster than the human eye could see in a saw like motion. 4 Aires swooped in for the kill, but they didn't even get within grabbing distance. The first two were sliced apart and exploded brilliantly. Slowing the scythe down, he cleanly cut the 3rd Aires up the middle, and spun around, cleaving off the remaining Aires head. The limp body fell and smashed into the ground.
"You wouldn't listen…" he said, his voice trailing off. The Gundam cruised off into the moon.

The hangar lights shown in the early morning sunrise. Inside, 10 Leos stood tall with the tiny pilots standing near them.
"These Leos need to be in working condition if we want to be able to protect the town".
Several men moved toward the large machines and onto the mobile platforms that rose and fell along the exterior of the suits. Alamano Flashmar viewed the repairs on the mobile suits. He glanced down to his data pad, scanning down the list. Turning, he began to walk towards the door.
"Hey, dad!" a voice yelled.
Alamano turned, and saw a young boy running toward him.
"Dren, what are you doing here?" Alamano said to the boy.
"Dad, I just wanted to see if the repairs are complete on your Leo" Dren answered.
"Everything is complete, and I'm going home" Alamano said.
"I'll check it out myself dad. Ill go for a little walk" said Dren.
"I'm to tired to argue with you Dren. Have it back in the hangar by 9:00" Alamano said.
He turned again and walked out the door.
"All RIGHT!" Dren yelled after the door shut.
He whirled and ran towards the green Leo in the back of the hangar. He ran to the platform, and pulled the lever to rise it into the air. Coming to a stop in front of the cockpit hatch, he opened it and leapt inside. After closing the hatch, he turned on the main reactor and had the suit take a step back from the platform. Mechanics and pilots alike cleared a path for the mighty machine. The main hangar door opened to the cool morning air and the first rays of the rising sun. Walking along the edge of the small town, he turned to the forest, and entered the thick foliage.
Across town, just over the gentle sloping hills, stood 10 Leo suits all ready for battle. One rose its machine gun up and motioned the others forward. The small platoon of suits marched forward and over the hill into the empty streets. The leading suit pointed its gun at the closest building and began firing. The brick and mortar shattered and collapsed, and then a massive foot of the Leo crushed the remains. A voice came over one of the suits speakers
"Spread out, and secure the grounds. Looks like there's gonna be no resistance here" it said.
"We ain't gonna get paid if we don't take control".
8 of the nine broke into pairs, and went in different directions. The remaining suit stayed with the leader. Turning, they also went in a different direction. People were flooding out of their houses, running. One man pulled out a radio and called out to the hangar.
"WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!"
Alamano had just gotten home when he heard the alarms going off. Leaping from his chair he bolted back out the door, grabbing his machine gun. He checked the ammo, and pulled open the door. He watched as truck drive by. He ran at full speed and leapt into the back of the truck, hoping it was heading in the way of the hangar. He got into a low crouch and waited, but suddenly the truck stopped, and he was thrown to the floor. He heard gun fire, and then the truck exploded. 2 Leo walked by the smoldering wreckage of the truck, and continued their rampage.
Dren was already on his way back to the hangar when he got the distress signal. He immediately kicked the suit into a full fledged run. Heading back to the town, he readied his dober gun in a steady position. He had soon reached the edge of the town, and stopped just where the trees stopped. Waiting in the cover of the thick foliage, he saw 2 Leo marching up the street. One of them stopped, and began firing into the nearby homes. Dren's Leo leapt out of the trees and fired rapidly into the 2 Leo suits. One suit exploded brilliantly. The second tuned and began to fire.
"We have confirmation of an enemy boss" the pilot of the enemy Leo said into the radio.
Remembering his fathers heavy modifications, he kicked the booster pack into maximum drive. Leaping forward, the Leo flew directly toward the suit, but suddenly pulled off to the side and firing the dober gun into the side of the enemy suit. Setting his radio for scan, he listened for any chatter. Almost immediately it picked something up.
"Meet in the town square. We will regroup and prepare"
"Sir, I have confirmation of 4 Leo suits. They have myself and 2 others preoccupied at the moment" another pilot answered.
Dren laughed, realized that the Battalion was already taking action against the invaders. He started to walk towards the town square. His Leo walked over the sloping road to the middle of the town. As the square came into view, he made a quick evaluation of the scene. Noticing the Local Defense Battalion was receiving a beating he reloaded his gun. 8 Leo suits were pummeling 5 Local Defense Battalion Leo suits.

The Leo leapt back and side to side on the more powerful engines, but it still couldn't dodge all the heavy fire.
"Come on! You guys can do better than that!" Dren yelled.
A picture of a scruffy looking man appeared on his screen.
"You, I will destroy you" he said angrily.
Dren replied "I want to fight you, one on one".
"That isn't as problem" the man replied.
As the remaining Leo troops turned back to the Local Defense Battalion, one Leo opposite him stepped forward and leveled his machine gun on Dren's suit. Just as his Leo set down on the ground, the enemy Leo leapt forward, but Dren pulled the beam saber back and ran the blade right through the center of the Leo, directly through the cockpit. He then slowly pulled the blade up, through the top of the suit. He then put out an open message for everyone to hear.
"I am Dren Flashmar, and I will have my revenge on all of you" he said calmly.
The engines blasted open to full power, he fired his machine gun into the remaining enemy Leo suits. As one exploded, he flew through the smoke and slashed another in half. The other Leo suits opened fire, but to no avail. Each one was cut down by Dren's beam saber. One last suit remained, trying to step back and escape.
"Where do you think you're going!" Dren yelled.
"How…how did you manage to do all this?" the pilot stammered.
"Its time to finish you off!" Dren answered.
The suit lunged forward and cleaved the arms off the suit and slashed the torso completely off. As the torso hit the ground, the suit spewed fire from the waist of the wasted suit. Powering down, he reached up to open the cockpit door, when he stopped. Something shiny caught his eye. A CD was taped to the side of the cockpit. He pulled it off and put it into the drive next to the screen. It was his father who popped up on screen.
"Father…" Dren said quietly.
"Dren, I knew you would fight one day, and I am well prepared to fuel your desire for battle. I realize that by the time you see this, I will be dead. Don't get upset, I know you will become one of the greatest pilots of all time. I came into possession of one of the greatest suits of all time, called a Gundam. It was given to me by a man who told me to keep this suit stored away until the time rises that we need it again" said his father.
"A Gundam?" Dren wondered. 'How could my father have acquired such an amazing suit?' Dren thought.
"This suit has the capabilities of several of the most powerful suits in the universe, such as the Gundams who had saved the Earth so many years ago" his father continued "and it is a short distance from here, up in the hills. You will have to find the entrance, which is a hidden cave. When you locate this suit, please, fulfill my dying wish, protect the innocent, and bring evil to its knees. There are also 3 other Gundams located around the globe. What you have just witnessed is a small part of an underground group of soldiers wanting control of the Earth, as the Barton Foundation, and Oz once did. Stop them at all costs. After this message ends, follow the map that the computer supplies you. Goodbye my son".
As he finished, a file was pulled up on the main screen. Hitting a button, the computer printed a map out. Dren grabbed his fathers Local Defense Battalion garrison cap and the map and jumped out of the cockpit and onto the ground. As he landed, everything began to sink in. He was in possession of one of the most powerful mobile suits in the universe, a Gundam!
It wasn't long before Dren was sprinting into the hills. The 3 remaining members of the Local Defense Battalion tried to stop him, but he just kept running. He had soon disappeared into the woods, looking for the cave. After searching for a while he stumbled upon a huge wall of ivy. He knew he had found it. He pulled the ivy away, and saw the most amazing sight he had ever seen.
A Gundam filled up the entire cave. It was in a kneeling position so it could fit under the low roof.
"Wow" Dren said in amazement.
He ran to where the cockpit was and opened the door. As the door opened he leapt up and jumped into the pilots seat.
"Time to see this baby in action" he said aloud.
He pulled up the suits capabilities onto the main screen. Words filled the screen.

"Amazing capabilities" Dren said aloud.
He decided there was only one way out. He grabbed the control stick and pulled out the staff. Opening the claws all the way, he rammed it into the roof of the cave and launched one of the pulse capsules into the roof. A few seconds later, the capsule exploded and the entire roof caved in.
"Time to test the power of this thing" Dren said, and pushed the engines to full power and blasted through the tons of dirt above him.
The Gundam was an awesome sight as it rose from the earth. It landed and Dren was already gripping the main engine controls. Cranking the lever all the way forward, he blasted up into the sky.
"COME ON, SHOW ME THE POWER!" Dren screamed, as if the machine was alive.
The engines were running at maximum output. Dren was straining under the output of the suit. He suddenly cut the power to half, and halted in mid-air. He was straining for breath, and had almost passed out. He barely had enough strength to check his coordinates. He couldn't believe his eyes. He was over 4 miles away from the cave he had lifted off from, and only in 20 seconds. He slowly lowered to the ground and landed with a soft thud.
Dren was amazed at the abilities of this suit. He hadn't even tried out the other weapons, such as the flash cannon, or the vulcan guns. He couldn't wait to get into combat with this suit. Pulling out the claw staff, he turned on the engines to half power, and began the journey back to the town. He suddenly picked up 10 blips on his sensor.
"What the….?" he said to himself. As the town same into view, he saw 5 Aires and 5 Leos assaulting the town.
"NOOOOOO!" Dren screamed. He felt the familiar rage surging up in his veins.
He cranked the engines to maximum, and surged forward. He then drove the 4 pronged claw through the nearest Leo. The Aires all did reverse barrel rolls and spiraled back towards Dren. He suddenly received a transmission from another enemy suit.
"WHO ARE YOU?" the transmission said.
"I am Dren Flashmar, and I will have my revenge for the death of my father"
The Gundam leapt forward and the Vulcan guns came alive, spraying bullets into the remaining Leos. Exploding, the Aires turned tail, and sped away at top speed.
"You're not getting away" Dren said.
He immediately pulled out the flash cannon, and steadied the sight on the retreating Aires and pulled the trigger. One capsule launched toward them. The capsule cruised directly into the center of the group of Aires and exploded. The explosion was blinding, and he had to look away to avoid hurting his eyes. He suddenly remembered the sheer power of one of those capsules. The pure heat from the explosion would overheat and cause any ordinary suit to explode, let alone the flames. The power and strength was equal to 10 napalm bombs. He saw the town crumble apart from the intense heat and flames from the canister.
"NOOOOOOO!!!!!" Dren screamed as he saw the place of his birth and childhood crumble around him.
The sheer strength of this suit was overpowering, and Dren then realized his mistake. He should have given chase, not unleash a weapon that he did not know completely. That was when he pushed the engine control to full throttle, and blasted away from his wasted home.
"I will find the men responsible for this"
Location: Sydney
The hustle and bustle of Sydney was in full swing. People rushing left and right, tourists talking photos and purchasing over-priced souvenirs, and children running and jumping in the park, which was located next to a beautiful shore by the bay. Little did they know that in moments, a terrorist attack was going to rock the city.
Suddenly an explosion rocked a large building at the edge of the park, children and parents were thrown from where the were standing, and glass and shrapnel was flying everywhere. 20 Cancer rose from the serene bay and launched missiles into the park. Hundreds were killed within moments. From the air, 4 helicopters flew in, each carrying 1 Leo with 4 cables. The cables were detached, and the 4 Leo dropped to the ground, letting their booster jets slow their descent.
Inside the cockpit of one of the Cancer, the pilot waited for his instuctions from his leader.
" What the hell is taking so long?" he said to himself "We should already be in the city".
He jumped as a transmission came through. The picture of the leader of the operation, popped up on the screen.
"Leos, move into the park and gain control. Destroy all trees, lights and fences. I want this park leveled. After that is completed, Cancers will launch missiles into the buildings on the edge of the city. I want complete control" he said.
"Well I guess this its time to start" the pilot said, but just as he was finishing, he saw to glowing green eyes appear in his main screen. The next thing he saw was two steel blades slide right through his cockpit, and gushing water, but by that time, he was already dead.
Orders had just been given to his troops, and all were waiting for the Leos to finish their assignment, when one pilot saw one of the Cancer explode from 2 blades piercing through the suit.
"All Leos, move back to the bay, we are under attack!" he announced to his troops.
'I thought all military suits were destroyed for world peace and pacifism 25 years ago' he thought to himself.
Just as he had finished, he saw a huge suit rise from the water. He was speechless.
"ITS A GUNDAM!" he yelled.
The Gundam put away one long blade onto is back and then he surged forward and slashed the Cancer all the way across the top. The Cancer exploded in a giant fireball.
"Hey you stupid morons, I'm Melissa Peacecraft, and I'm here to protect this lands honor. You must stop this attack on them immediately" the pilot spoke.
A compartment opened on the left leg, and the Gundam reached down and pulled out a compact beam rifle. The Leos already had begun firing on her, but the bullets were having no effect. She placed the other blade back into the sheath in the back, and leveled the rifle at the closet Leo. Pulling the trigger, the rifle mowed down the Leo. The remaining Leos tried to find cover in the parts of the park that weren't destroyed. The Cancers had begun firing torpedoes and missiles at the Gundam.
"Gundam Vapor and I will defeat you, even if you outnumber me 20 to one" she said quietly to herself.
Pulling up hard on the control stick, she turned and pushed two buttons, the firing button and a second which opened several vents on the suits. These vents began to release fog and vapor into the battle area. The Vulcan guns began flaring, and the path of the bullets passed over several Cancer, and which in turn, they exploded brilliantly. The rest dove deep into the bay.
"You think you can run?" she said.
The Gundam's shins opened, and 15 torpedoes slid out into the water. They sped off and seconds later multiple explosions surged out of the ocean. Melissa turned her attention to the remaining Leos. When the suit finally marched onto shore, they were nowhere to be seen through the heavy fog. Melissa turned on the heat sensor, and immediately picked out three distinct shapes.
Putting the beam rifle away in the compartment in the leg, a circular portion on the palm of the hand opened, The cords running from inside the suit to the exterior arm became very stiff. The suit suddenly lunged forward and sped towards the Leos. Holding one hand out, a liquid sprayed from the nozzle and covered the nearest Leo. Hardening, Melissa drove the Gundam's other arm through the enemy suit, causing it to shatter.
"Nothing can stand up to liquid nitrogen" Melissa said. Leaping up into the air, she soaked the remaining two and as she landed, he stepped right onto the suits, crushing them beneath her feet.
"So much bloodshed, and for what? You are going against everything pacifism stands for, but then again, so am I" Melissa said. She then turned and marched back into the bay.
Location: West Point, New York
The band played as the cadets marched across the field, while inactive Leos stood as a reminder of days gone by. A colonel looked on while talking to an active sergeant of the unit who was marching by.
"I still think we should have kept a few suits in working condition, just in case, you know?" he said aloud.
"All suits were dismantled or shut down after the Barton Foundation defeat sir. The Preventers don't even have mobile suits" the sergeant answered.
Just as the band finished playing, the field was ripped apart by a shower of bullets. The cadets and band all ran for cover as 15 Aires cruised overhead.
The colonel stood unmoving. He stood his ground even as the Aires doubled back. At that point, the colonel had moved to his jeep, and pulled out he passenger seat, revealing a hidden compartment with a quad missile launcher inside. The badly shaken sergeant looked up and saw the colonel standing in the field, steadying the launcher on the Aires. Pulling the trigger 3 times he managed to take out 3 of the Aires, but as the remaining passed over they launched missiles, which all exploded around the colonel.
"COLONEL!!!!!!!!!!" the sergeant screamed.
The Aires had all doubled back again, and had slid to a halt in the center of the field.
"The field has been cleared" one Aires pilot said.
Before the Aires could even secure their position, they were all knocked over by a shock-wave. Looking over to the bleacher area, there stood a large mobile suit with huge fists. The suit then slammed the fist into the ground, creating another shock-wave, stopping the Aires from regaining an upright position.
"Mobile suits! I thought you guys would never come!" came through the speaker.
The suit made his way across the field, slowly advancing on the Aires.
"Identify yourself!" the Aires commander said.
"I'm Charlie DoWarn, and my Gundam and I are going to take you out!" he yelled, as his suit surged forward.
"IT CAN'T BE! THE GUNDAMS DON'T EXIST ANYMORE!!!" another pilot yelled.
In one motion, he slammed the suits fists together, causing them to be charged with energy, and pulled out a huge hammer from his back. The pilot looked into his main view screen, only to see the huge hammer come crashing into it. He died instantly. A few Aires had managed to make it back into the air. They began to swoop back around to make a pass at the Gundam.
"So, you want to play. WELL, COME AND GET ME!" he yelled as he jumped into the air.
As one Aires flew past, he stuck out his hand and ripped out the engine of the suit as it passed. The suit went into a barrel roll and exploded as it hit the mountainside near the field. Remembering the other Aires on the field, he smashed his fists together once again and passed the energy right into the hammer. He pointed this directly at the Aires who were struggling to regain footing.
"You Aires aren't even a challenge!!" Charlie said.
Purple energy blasted out of the head and pummeled the Aires. The engines shorted out and exploded, showering parts everywhere. The 2 remaining Aires had already turned tail and ran. Pulling back on the control stick, the Gundam turned, and blasted forward.
"Come on Pulsar, lets move!"
Within seconds, Charlie had already caught up with them and had moved in between them.
"Have you two met yet? Well let me introduce you!" Charlie said out loud. With that, Pulsars two huge hands grabbed the Aires, and slammed them face first into each other, using their own momentum to kill them.
As the flames cleared, the Gundam came flying back to the field. As he landed he stepped right on the remains of a ruined Aires. Just to make sure, he pulled out his hammer, and smashed the rest of the Aires pieces. After demolishing the Aires, he shouldered the mighty hammer, and turned to the cadets and sergeant standing off to the side. Giving a huge salute he said
"Its been real, but just to let you know, your going to hear a lot about me soon".
After putting away the hammer, he took off and flew into the distance.
Location: former France
The sun was beginning to set over Paris. As the sun was lowering below the horizon, 1 carrier came directly out of that direction. Not able to be seen by the naked eye, it was to late when they released 25 Aires, 5 which carried Leos on large cable support wires. As they swooped in from the sky, their guns blazing as they pummeled the restaurants and stores surrounding the tower.
"Secure the perimeter, and then have the 2 Leos move in and scale the tower to take control of the top. We need to give them 1 minute" the leader spoke to his team.
"Roger that, leader"
"Move out"
As the Aires destroyed most of the area around the tower, they were unaware that they were being watched. As the first Leo reached the tower, they saw a mobile suit launch out from the shadows of the nearby park. Two hooked blades appeared in the darkness, and then out stepped a broad shouldered mobile suit, carrying 2 blue bladed beam scythes.
"This is a city of love, not war. Please, leave, before I have to kill you" the pilot of the suit said.
"Who are you?" one Leo pilot said.
"I'm Macron Clover, and Calypso and I will destroy you" the pilot responded.
"Yeah right" the Leo replied.
"I warned you" the pilot replied once again. It bounded forward, but an Aires slammed into it just before it careened into the Leo. Before the 2 suits hit the ground, the hooked blade slashed through the Aires.
"THATS A GUNDAM!!!!" one Aires pilot yelled.
"Continue with mission, but Aires will attack the suit" the leader said bravely.
The Leos turned on the booster packs, and began their ascent to the top. The Gundam had already flew forward and grabbed another Aires. The Vulcan guns were blazing, and the Aires exploded. Whirling the 2 weapons expertly, the pilot broadcast out a wide message over the speaker.
"I told you to leave, but you just wouldn't listen"
The Leos were halfway to the top of the tower. The engines of the Gundam roared to life, and it propelled itself up the tower after them. The Leos were much slower due to the engine speed, and the Gundam caught up easily. As he passed the first Leo, he let his scythe drag through the suit, cleaving it in half, and it exploded. The other Leo, who was farther up, pivoted slightly, and began firing on it. He pulled up his shield, and absorbed the blows. Putting away the scythes, he ignited a blade on both arms. Each blade was about half the length of a beam saber. The engine flared to double the length and the Gundam flew forward, and slashed the remaining Leo in half. Looking to the side, the remaining Aires were sweeping in for the kill.
"Why are you still fighting?" he said, extinguishing his blades, and pulling out the beam scythes once again.
He locked the two handles together, he ignited the 2 blades, and they were pointing in two directions. He leapt away from the tower and into the Aires. Within seconds, the Aires were hitting the ground in pieces. He whirled the blade faster than the human eye could see in a saw like motion. 4 Aires swooped in for the kill, but they didn't even get within grabbing distance. The first two were sliced apart and exploded brilliantly. Slowing the scythe down, he cleanly cut the 3rd Aires up the middle, and spun around, cleaving off the remaining Aires head. The limp body fell and smashed into the ground.
"You wouldn't listen…" he said, his voice trailing off. The Gundam cruised off into the moon.
