Reader's Note: This is a re-posting of my fan fiction works. Recently, I was reading through some of the stories and found a few things that I could fix. Plus I figured to myself that I released each story too quickly. So that's why I'm going to re-post these stories. However they're going to be released a lot slower so more can ingest the stories better. I'm also going to number the stories that way each reader will know where to start and which stories go in what order. So understand that I didn't take my stories off and re-post them to get rid of reviews. Well, on with the story.

Gundam Wing

A New Pilot

G

Chapter 1: Another Shooting Star

"Beginning Descent." Johan stated as he piloted the shuttle towards Earth.

Except the shuttle he was piloting was merely a cover. He's on a very specific mission. He's been sent by one of the colonies to destroy several types of bases of Earth. He himself took pride in this kind of work. Even though on the outside no one can guess that, for one he doesn't look a day over 17. He is young for being in the kind of work he's in, and for being what he is. He's a Gundam Pilot; the shuttle covered up the evidence that a deadly weapon was hidden underneath it. The weapon was a mobile suit and a powerful one. It was a weapon of extreme destruction depending on the pilot.

He sat in the pilots' seat in his completely compact environmental suit; he looked at one of the screens within the cockpit system. It displayed the details of his mission. He was to destroy several Oz bases within Europe.

"Mission accepted." He said in a steady voice.

He took the controls and continued to pilot so slowly towards Europe, he was making the descent over Africa, which would land him over Europe. He was making his calculations in his head, but he punched them in the computer to his right to check for his margin of error. There wasn't one though, as always with his kind of mind.

As the shuttle was going through the outer atmosphere he could feel the heat but not too much of it thanks to the Gundainium alloy both on his Gundam and the shuttle. He tried not to think about the slight heat; he looked at the horizon. The place where Earth meets space, he slowly saw it turn from black star specked surrounding of space to the blue skies and white clouds of the Earth.

This was his sign to throw the switch; he reached above his head and saw the large switch. He pushed it forward as hard as he could while feeling the friction of his craft against the atmosphere. On the outside it seemed as if the outer shell of the shuttle crumbled away, once all the pieces of the shuttle were gone it revealed the true craft. The true craft looked like a fighter plane with one large cannon for a nose and small wings. If anyone looked at it one would ask, "How does it get off the ground?" But others would look at it and say, "Wow."

The craft had past the friction of the atmosphere and was heading for its target.

G

Inside the Gundanium fighter plane Johan looked at one of the screens and saw there was a battle going on not to far away. In the 30-inch viewer he could plainly see a craft just like his own, and it was fighting Oz mobile suits. He saw the similar craft defeat the mobile suits as easy as pie. Johan smiled and continued on his way to Europe.

"This will be my first field mission." He said as if speaking to someone. He was actually talking to his Gundam. It was a small habit that most Gundam pilots have and that is that they talk to their mobile suits at one time or another. It wasn't something to be ashamed of, even in Johan's case since he built his Gundam on his own mostly. This Gundam that he was piloting was called Gundam Dragon. It had a wide range or great advantages, for one it has a great amount of artillery along with a cloaking device to get into places in a very sneaky way. Soon he would be able to demonstrate this to the soldiers in the bases in Europe. Even though they may not even live to tell anyone else about it.

Johan piloted Gundam Dragon, in its fighter plane mode (or bird mode) to his first target. The target was a mobile suit factory somewhere in the northern Mediterranean. The country didn't matter to Johan; it was all the same to him, because this is what he was trained for.

Ever since he could walk he had been trained in combat, almost as if he was born to fight. At this age he probably knew more about how to kill a human being more then an Oz solider. He also knew how to escape out of any kind of trap or imprisonment. But along with this kind of skill he had also been trained in arts and music. Even when he was training in combat he had learned how to paint and how to play the piano. Anyone with a militaristic mind would ask, "Why would anyone want to train a solider in any of that liberal democratic junk?"

In Johan's mind his answer would be, "to hold onto what's left of my soul."

G

He had arrived, the first target in the Northern Mediterranean, he saw the base, the mobile suit factory. To him it looked like a hand made model that could easily be stepped on and the mission would be over with.

"Target Confirmed." He said as he looked up to a large handle above his head, he grabbed onto it and pushed it forward. The handle was (more specifically) a switch and what this switch did was transform his craft.

Outside he craft began to change, from being the plane with small wings and the nose cannon to a complete mobile suit. It had what looked like a claw on the right arm, which was designed to be a short-range weapon that would flick out like a lizards tongue. One the left arm was a shield and attached to the shield was a large rifle, a beam gattling rifle as it was called. Now the plane had transformed into a new mobile suit, a Gundam.

"Let's rock." Johan smiled as he piloted the Gundam to the base.

He landed right on the fence crushing it under the 8 tons of the Gundam Dragon, Johan laid his eyes first on the mobile suit factory section of the base. He pointed the beam rifle that was mounted on the buster shield at the mobile suit factory.

"Target locked." He said as he pulled the trigger within the cockpit system and watched the beam hit the mobile suit factory and he watched it blow up like watching a video game. Except this was real, but he couldn't help himself. He began to laugh out loud to himself and he watched the pieces from the mobile suit factory fall to the ground like shooting stars.

"Who's next?" he said to himself as he laid his eyes on the other parts of the base.

He fired his rifle at all the buildings, watching them all explode into little pieces. Even though he did take pride in his work he couldn't help but feel a little bit sick in his stomach. Perhaps what was left of his soul was telling him that what he was doing was wrong, still his mind was telling him that it was for the common good. He was doing this for his home, his home in the colonies, to hold back the tide of the oncoming tyranny from the Earth. He tried to justify what he was doing, but his humanity was telling him otherwise.

Suddenly he heard a beeping within the cockpit, he looked and saw three Aries Mobile suits come straight for him.

"Ah, fresh meat for the grinder." He said to himself, as he turned the Gundam around and went up to meet the Aries Mobile suits. He commanded his mobile suit to draw it's weapon, which was a multiple tool weapon, that can become a beam spear, trident, scythe, or sword. He chose to have it as a beam spear.

He took it and ran it through one of the Aries, his saw it split in half and then explode. Next he commanded the dragon claw to engage, the claw on the Gundam right arm came down over the hand of the Gundam and shot out at the Aries like the tongue of a lizard. The yellow fangs of the dragon claw shoved through the chest of the Aries. Johan saw the Aries crumble and tumble to the ground below, that was two down and one more to go. He was saving the best for last, he aimed the buster rifle at the Aries. The Aries was trying to retaliate by firing it's puny little bullet gattling but it was no use against this Gundam as it fired the buster rifle and the Aries crumbled away like a clump of sand.

Johan looked back at the base and saw the mess that he created, the base was no more. He looked at the numbers from this battle and saw how much he destroyed. He looked at the figures, the number of casualties, buildings blow up and mobile suits destroyed.

"Mission Complete." He said

He reached up for the same handle that transformed his Gundam, he transformed it back to bird mode.

"Moving on." He thought as he moved onto the next target, which was somewhere in Northern Europe.

This mission was to infiltrate one of the bases and steal the information on the newest mobile suits that Oz was constructing. After that he was ordered to destroy the base. All of this was given to him on a small screen that displayed his missions as he headed to Northern Europe.

"Mission accepted." He said

G

Meanwhile in Europe on one of the shores, Relena Dorlin was walking along it thinking about how her father, who was a representative to the colonies, had forgotten about her birthday. But just then she looked down on the beach and found something washed up on shore. She knew that it was someone so she immediately called an ambulance. But before the ambulance arrived she went down to have a look at it, she saw someone wearing a space environmental suit. She reached down and took the helmet off of the suit. She found underneath it all a boy, probably no more then 15 years old. This boy was the pilot of a Gundam like Johan but he was the one that was fighting the Oz mobile suits while Johan was coming down through the atmosphere. Just then the boy woke up and immediately got to his feet covering his face.

"Did you see?" he asked with wide eyes

"See what?" she asked confused as to what the boy meant.

The ambulance arrived and the boy ran up the shore to the ambulance and drove away with extreme haste. Relena looked at the far off car and thought to herself,

"My name is Relena Dorlin. What's yours?"

G

In a forest not too far away Johan landed, under the cover of the trees his mobile suit would be hidden. Getting to the base was one thing, getting in was another, having one strange person get in and get out and disappear wasn't exactly the best covert idea. The mission specifications did mention that there was a school called the "Sank Gabriela Institute." His instruction was to enroll there temporarily and use it as a cover to get to the base. He had to get into the base and get back out in two days otherwise he would be suspected and his cover would be compromised. That was the reason for one very specific instruction was not to get too involved with the school. Johan understood this and followed.

Thankfully he had a change of clothes within the storage compartment in his Gundam for civilian clothes. He hopped out of the cockpit and reached up for the storage unit near the cockpit, more specifically it was below the cockpit itself. It held several things, foodstuffs, CD's some supplies, first aid kits, and the larger portion was his Gundam Motorcycle as well as a spare change of clothes. The clothes that he had were a light pair of pants, a tie die shirt, and his white trench coat. Taking a small device with him he walked into the woods knowing that he would find his way.

The device he took from the cockpit was a small map system, he found out that he was only a few miles East of the target point along with the school. He wandered into the woods with the beginning part of the afternoon fading into the later hours of the day.

G

Later that day Relena Dorlin had arrived back at her school, "The Sank Gabriela Institute". She was being hailed by greetings from her friends. Even though she received this kind of greeting she was still feeling pre occupied, more specifically she was thinking to the brief skirmish with the boy on the beach. She wanted to know his name; this troubled her mind so much that she didn't think about anything else. By the time she got to class she was in for a big surprise.

G

At that same time two very peculiar students were at the door of the great hall waiting to be introduced to the class. Both of them were brought into the great hall, and in that single hall is where Relena Dorlin was sitting thinking about that boy she encountered on the beach. She was regretting that she never even caught his name before he dashed away in the ambulance.

"Quiet students". The teacher commanded, "Today we have two new students joining us today. Would you two introduce yourselves."

Relena looked down towards the podium to see the new students enter, both of them were boys. In the bright light on the low high stage she recognized one of them. One of them had brown hair and dark blue eyes that was very similar to the boy she saw on the beach. While the other one had black hair and green eyes, both of them were wearing the school uniform.

"My name is Heero Yuy." The brown hair boy said, "It's a pleasure."

"My name is Johan Rodriguez." The black hair boy said, "I am pleased to be here."

"Both of you sit next to Relena Dorlin, you can ask her any questions you like." The teacher instructed as Heero and Johan made their ways to their seats. Both of them chose different seats but they were within the same distance of Relena.

"Nice to meet you Heero and Johan." Relena greeted them, but neither of them responded.

Heero had too much on his mind like Johan who was also thinking about his mission. When Johan met Heero he thought of him as an anti-social type, but then again so was Johan at times. When Relena greeted Johan, he didn't know what to say, in all of his training he never encountered anything like this. Johan recognized Relena as Vice Foreign Minister Dorlin's daughter, he knew that he can't get too close to her. A Gundam pilot and the daughter of the Vice Foreign Minster wasn't a pleasant thought to Johan. It would be too complicated to get involved in.

G

In the late afternoon / early evening both Heero Yuy and Johan Rodriguez were at a long balcony of the institute. Both of them were a good distance apart, and behind them was Relena and behind her was an entourage of girls that were probably her friends or people that liked her because she seemed to be the popular type. In her hand Relena had two envelopes; she knew who she wanted to give them to; Heero Yuy and Johan Rodriguez. Like Heero, Johan intrigued Relena, she wasn't sure why but she wanted to see them both. She stepped forward in between Johan and Heero deciding whom to go to first. Her mind was made up and she walked to Johan first. She tapped him on the shoulder; he turned around and looked at her with a blank stare that seemed to hide his astonishment that this girl would approach him.

"Here," she said as she handed the small envelope to Johan, "It's an invitation to my birthday party tomorrow, I hope you can make it."

At that moment the entourage of friends that Relena had began to clap for her. Johan didn't know how to react, either he would ignore it or he would except. Even though he is a Gundam Pilot he felt that he was still human underneath it all. Plus it was a party; on top of that he won't have to attend his mission either today or tomorrow. The party would be fun, but he had to remind himself not to get too involved with these people.

"I'm on a mission." He reminded himself in his mind, but he was trying to think of a response and it came to him.

"I'll try to make it". He said

"Thank you, I'm sure we'll have fun." Relena responded

After Johan she went over to Heero who was staring out to sea, he was also thinking about his mission. He was also reminding himself not to get involved. Relena came up to him, and handed the small envelope to him.

"It's an invitation to my birthday party, tomorrow. Both you and Johan are invited. I hope to see you there."

This time as Relena friends began to clap Heero took the small envelope and held it in front of Relena's face and tore it in half. This reaction shocked the many onlookers, and even Relena herself, she was just being kind to a stranger, a newcomer who may be feeling uncomfortable in new surroundings. And yet she was being kind to him, telling him in this way that he was welcome. His response was rejection, at that moment Relena felt her heart sink to her stomach, her fists were clenched in confusion and tears began to welt in her eyes.

"But why?" she asked

Heero came closer to her, brushing away her tears, Relena smiled thinking that he might have some heart after all.

"I'll kill you." Heero whispered as he walked away from Relena.

The only sound that was heard was the wind that blew a freezing feeling along with the sound of Heero's shoes clapping against the pavement.

G

Fencing class: Heero and Johan were there, and Johan thought that this might be the opportunity to confront him face to face. They looked at each other, as they stood on the mats in their fencing uniforms with their foils and masks in either hand.

"I know what you are, Heero." Johan whispered

"What?" Heero asked

"You're a Gundam Pilot, just like me. There's no point in denying it."

Heero was shocked inside, but he tried to keep it off of his face,

"How did you know?" He whispered enough not to arouse suspicion.

"It's written on your face." Johan said, "It's something only one Gundam can sense in another."

Both of them placed their masks on and took their stance, this wasn't just a fencing spar this was more of a duel to them. This match was a test of their strength to see who was the better fighter, they couldn't just go to their Gundam's and battle it out when both of them are on their missions, no, this was the best way to do it.

"You may think your strong Heero." Johan stated, "But the reality is that you can't conquer your fear, until you do, you can't beat me."

Heero took in this insult and made the first stab at him trying to go for the throat to shut him up. Heero's attack was thwarted as Johan ducked and struck Heero across his chest with the foil thus gaining him victory as far as the fencing rules are concerned. But this was more of a Gundam battle; the rules would have changed, even though no one around them would know about it. The both stepped back and both made the same stab attack but this time the tips of their foils met and broke, with the broken foils both of them made their way to the face of their opponents.

Johan saw the foil coming at him, he dodged and he struck the broken foil right through Heero's mask, scratching the tip of his nose ever so slightly. Heero was now truly shocked, he looked through the broken foil mask at Johan to see if he was still there. He was still holding the foil in place, until finally Johan stepped back and took off his mask.

"Until you can conquer your fear, don't try to cross my path again. Also that scratched nose of yours that was for Relena. You can't seem to understand how easy it is to hurt a woman."

Heero dropped to his knees with what was left of the foil still in his mask, absolutely shocked. It was like someone had shoved high voltage through him and he was feeling the side effects. He sat there on his knees looking at the one who defeated him with a question. Was he an enemy or a friend? That was a question that he had, even though it wasn't a question that he asked himself very often. He watched Johan walked out hearing all the gossip from all the women in the room.

"Was that Johan?"

"Yes it was."
"He's good."

Johan did smile thinking about it but he didn't dwell on it too much, because now he had to do his mission. He figured that if he got his mission over and done with he would be able to party for a reason. Plus it would be a celebration of his success that is if he doesn't get killed, which won't even be possible with his skill.

"I have to get the mission done, now." He thought, "But first things first I have a small matter with the institute to settle."

G

During the night, Johan made his way to the records area of the institute, knowing that the doors are guarded he made it there by climbing through the window. He looked through the schools computer. He figured that this would help his cover if all his fees are covered.

"Entrance fees, Dormitory Fees, Class Fees, and Uniform Fees." He thought, "God, no wonder this place is so nice, they make a fortune on fees. Well all of them are paid now."

He left the records room with a very sneaky smile on his face, "Now to the mission." He said

In the dead of night he walked into the woods, west of the school searching for his Gundam. The only thing he had was a flashlight and the electronic map device that he took from the cockpit. He made his way through the mess of trees to the Gundam, which was still in bird mode. When Johan walked to the clearing the Gundam was still in active cloak, just like he left it before he went too deep into the woods. He reached for his key-tool, which activates the Gundam as well as controls it from the outside, it was a small feature that Johan designed himself for this Gundam. He treated it almost as if it was his prize car, never allowing anyone near it except himself.

He pressed the de-cloak button and in the light of the moon Johan saw the Gundam uncover itself. On that night it was a full moon and in that light it made the Gundam itself seem almost like a piece of art.

"Let's get busy." He whispered in the dark

He walked up to the cockpit and climbed in and activated the controls, anyone else in his position would worry that he would wake anyone up or be tracked on enemy radar. But thankfully a Gundam can't be detected on radar, and this particular model is extremely silent when taking off. It's only when the nitrogen boosters come into play is when it makes real noise. In the silence of the Gundam and the dead of night Johan piloted silently as he watched all of the screens before him.

G

Johan had found the mobile suit factory, and using the cloaking device he flew silently and invisibly into the base and landed softly down right in the middle of the base as if he was a guest being invited for some kind of officer event. He got out of the cockpit and looked around to find the research office. Even though it was dark he could see it because his eyes had now become accustomed to the darkness. With this he found the research building, knowing that the doors would have locks and alarms on them he used one of the many tools at his disposal. The door itself was probably more glass then steel. He took out his glasscutter and cut a 34-inch hole in the glass, which was just enough to squeeze through, but he didn't want to climb through it, he was going to jump through it.

He backed up just enough to gain speed and he jumped and went right through the hole in the door as if he was a human bullet going through the barrel of a gun. He landed in a somersault, keeping himself hidden just in case the alarms sounded, but nothing happened. Now the opportunity was there and he took it, he found his way to Research and Development. He found the computer that held most of the data on new mobile suits used by Oz. He looked at it and scoffed thinking that he and his Gundam Dragon could easily beat them, and beat them hard. He saw one mobile suit called "Taurus", it didn't look that impressive to the eyes of Johan. He merely sneered at it.

Still this was part of his mission, he took the data, and also left a message on the computer. He also knew a great deal about computers, he took out a disk and uploaded a virus into the Oz system. IN the virus program it had a message, the message was, "Mess with the best, die like the rest." He left the research place giggling to himself, as he made his way back to the door. He wanted to go out with a bang, he opened the door, thus sounding the alarms. But the strange thing is that he didn't run, he casually walked back to his Gundam while he knocked down every solider that tried to stop him.

He made his way back to his Gundam and flew back up and aimed the cannon nose at the base once he got to a certain level in the air and completely blew the place up. Looking at the wreckage he began to giggle even more. Because he knew that sooner or later the virus would penetrate all Oz systems and that included mobile suits. He could imagine the looks on the Oz system engineers faces when they try to stop the virus. Oh they eventually will but by that time all their forces will be inoperable.

The thought of it made Johan laugh even more.

"Mission Complete." He laughed.

To be continued…

Author's Notes: I've always enjoyed writing for myself. I started this project a while back when Gundam Wing was on the air. I had some difficulty starting but then while I was watching the uncut version of one of the episodes the first line came to me. Since then I've written several stories spawning from this single story. I wanted to start with the original series with this new character in it because that way I could give him a full background and history. As well as showing his joys, his pains and all else that goes with them. However I hope that I haven't made him too powerful, even though at first it may seem that way. But as the stories progress this character named Johan becomes more developed. I know that there might be those who won't agree with me but this character as the stories go on he seems to have more than what the written word shows.

I hope you've enjoyed the story and that you'll return to hear more stories of mine.
