Gundam Gamer
Chapter 1 Beginning Training
This is probably a dream.
Welcome to the Gundam games!
Most definitely a dream.
Would you like a brief introduction?
I stood there like a fool not really knowing what to do.
"Yeah I guess?" uncertainty in my voice.
The Gundam games is a open world interactive game.
So like an MMORPG.
You can choose how you interact with the world for example. You can follow the main story line of the selected Gundam timeline.
OK then that's a given.
Other examples can be for instance you stray away from the selected story line and forge your own path.
Now what do you mean by that?
You could be the villain, hero, conqueror, sidekick, bystander-
It kept listing other things that I tuned out cause I was thinking of the implications of such things. Like I could join villain's side and betray my current ally or be on no one's side and murder them all.
Another feature is the Gundam where you could build your own custom Gundam's or play as preexisting ones.
I guess this is why it's called Gundam Games.
In addition to creating Gundam's you could build your own character to play as or have as a npc for another character.
That is so cool the only other game I can think of that has that function is Dynasty Warrior empires.
As you interact with preexisting characters and ones you create you can forge alliances, friendships, lovers, and even family.
Lets not get ahead of our selves here.
You can also play missions that require certain scenarios to unlock items, skills, Gundam parts, and even character's and increase status with npcs.
Ok this is getting ridiculous how do I get out of here?
You may have not noticed your surroundings but you are in 'The Base' a home away from home and a way to access all the functions.
No Idea what your talking about.
'The Base' is a area where you can go and have ease of action and safety. You can access the Mobile suit Factory where you can build custom Mobile suits, Training area where virtual reality makes terrain and places for you to practice. Create a character labs and the shop where you can buy things, And finally mission and story-line terminal.
Ok they seem pretty self explanatory.
Now that you have been introduced to some of the functions of the game. We can begin a tutorial.
The world around me went dark and then light as I was face to face with a red and white shield and gun wielding Gundam I guess?
This is the RGM-79 GM a mass-produced mobile suit based off of the RX-78-2 Gundam.
As I looked at this green visor-ed mech I was told more on it's armaments.
60mm Vulcan Gun The Vulcan guns: were 60mm Gatling Guns stored on the sides of the GM's head. Having the greatest rate of fire of all the GM's weapons these are primarily used to ward off advancing enemies, shoot down missiles, or hit other fast moving targets. They also made good use as an anti-aircraft and anti-personnel weapons. The Vulcan guns however had a hard time piercing heavy armor (though they had shown the ability to do severe damage to Mobile Suit's if fired at point-blank range)and thus were not often used against larger, more heavily armored foes. Still the Vulcans were useful in preserving ammunition for the GM's more powerful weapons such as the Beam Spray Gun.
Head cannons I can get behind that.
THI BSjG01 Beam Saber: The beam saber use Minovsky particles held in place by an I-Field to form an effective cutting surface that can slice through nearly any material. The particles for the beam saber are stored by E-cap in the hilt of the saber, which is recharged from the GM's reactor when the saber is returned to its socket. Once activated, beam saber do not rely on the mobile suit's reactor and can be thrown or discarded as decoys. The beam saber is most often used for close range combat or as an emergency weapon once all other ammunition has been depleted. Some GM's were fielded 2 beam sabers during the war.
A light saber wonder if I can deflect energy beams like a Jedi?
FADEGEL RGM-M-Sh-003 Shield: A basic optional arm-mounted defense armament for many Federation mobile suits. The shield is a thick sheet of armor designed to take severe punishment that would normally destroy a mobile suit. Since the introduction of beam weaponry, shields have been treated with an anti-beam coating allowing it to withstand several beam shots before the coating wears off. Typically physical shields can only take so much damage before they succumb to the pressure and break. A shield can be equipped to either arm of the GM in order to increase defense against both beam and physical attacks.
A Riot shield to protect me hopefully I can get better ones.
BR-M-79C-1 Beam Spray Gun: The Beam Spray Gun was essentially the Gundam's beam rifle in a smaller weaker form. The beam spray gun has a smaller focusing coil which results in a less powerful, and a more scattered shot. As a result of this the beam spray gun is less effective at long range, but is better at close range due to a more spread out shot, similar to a shotgun effect. While the beam spray gun is less powerful than the beam rifle, it has been shown to be able to penetrate the armor of a Rick Dom - one of the most heavily armored mobile suits of the One Year War.
And finally my gun, I feel like I'm a cop.
As you progress and gain Mobile suit parts you can also upgrade preexisting parts and create new ones.
Huh convenient!
As you gain parts you can switch them to create a new mobile suit or Gundam. When building a new Suit you can use a preexisting Mobile Suit and change color, weapons, and parts. All these things will factor into your stats for each suit
Now what are the stats.
Stats are Melee: Fighting ability, determines most melee attack strength, Shot: determines most long-ranged attack strength, Defense: determines ability to take hits, Armor: determines survivability of attacks, Mobility: Determines speed, Power: Ability to attack and move as well of special attacks.
Ok I see now how this is going to be, these stats will probably have a number by them that will tell me how high these stats will be.
Each stat will have a number to indicate the stats an example can be seen with the Gm!
It showed me Melee as sixty five, Shot the same, Defense was one hundred and ten, Armor one hundred and fifty-five, and finally mobility is fifty and Power is one hundred.
As you gain parts you will either gain parts that boost stats or sadly lower than what you want, but have no fear for you can buy parts and sell them for G points!
Now you have me confused?
With G points you can buy skills, parts, Characters, and even cheats!
Cheats would be good Guess that's my first priority.
Now here is a gift of ten thousand G points, don't spend it all in one place!
Thanks I think!
Now Onward to the controls!
The world around me went dark and then back to light as there were three things in front of me.
These are the controls for the Gundams you will be piloting. First control is the game controller.
It was exactly that a Xbox three sixty styled controller with out the 'X' on it.
Though the npc's will think you went into a cockpit in reality you will play it like a video game going into either third-person or first-person mode. depending on your fancy!
I think I'll probably be playing it like a video game!
Next is the cockpit be a real Gundam pilot and master the controls as you feel the thrill as you fight for what you believe in.
Probably won't use it but then again I might.
And last but not least is the you control where you are the Gundam, anything you move the Gundam will to!
Screw safety of the game controller I want to be able to do the move like me thing!
Please select a control type?
I immediately head towards the you control.
You have chosen the you control any way you move the Gundam will move as well. Now please get into the Gm.
Darkness then light come again And I find my self on a cat walk heading towards a cockpit. There is a chair with controls which I don't know why is there. I head to the chair and sit in it when suddenly I feel my body move on my own, The gm starts up and and grabs it's shield and gun. It then goes to a long hall and stands there. Without warning I am flung forward at high speeds and when I reach the end of the hall I fly off into the sky, and then it goes dark.
I see the light again and I am falling down I screamed as the Gm hit the ground and I could feel like I just jumped from a ledge.
"Whoa!" I say for the first time ever speaking, text started to appear in front of my face, and I read it.
"An obstacle course has been set up so that you can get the hang of moving with the various control. Each control style will affect the way you do battle you have chosen the You control where any way I move the mobile suit moves to. You play in first person while looking like the mobile suit you are wearing. In your first person view will be a HUD that will tell the status of your armaments and status of your mobile suits and a scanner of enemy Mobile suits. There will be markers for objectives and that continue the mission or a time limit to do certain things. Please proceed to the marker on your HUD!"
As I finished reading I see in front of me an arrow that leads to a grey outline square. Shrugging my shoulders which strangely the armor does as well I walk to the grey square. It was weird to me it felt like I was walking yet not, like how you put pressure on your foot to one side and the other has less and you feel it. It was like I could feel the pressure as I put on my foot yet feel like I'm sitting down doing nothing. Anyway when I reached the grey square and stepped on it it turned blue. More text appeared in front of my face. "Ok lets see here, blue areas are marked down on your mini map that can be seen in the bottom right corner of my HUD they are area's that you and your forces control. Red area's are controlled by the enemy and can be taken through certain conditions. Lets try it!" Another Square this time red appeared and a green Mobile suit was standing in the middle of it with a gun. More text appeared and I quickly read it.
"Now is a perfect time to use the scan ability on the enemy mobile suit! To use it there are three ways one is too scan the remains of a defeated mobile suit the other an initial scan which show off the equipment a Mobile suit is wielding and initial stats. The third is to capture an enemy Mobile suit." It then proceeds to tell me to defeat the mobile suit. I move closer and the enemy Mobile suit is shooting at me and I raise my shield to defend. I can feel the bullets hitting my shield and I raise my beam gun and fire at the enemy suit. The first two shots miss by a close margin but the third hits directly to the chest. Then something interesting happens.
A skill has been created through a special act. Gun Weaponry Mastery Lv.1 Exp: 0.0% (Passive) When firing with guns you are prone to hit the target more than to hit nothing.
I stare at my gun while forgetting about the mobile suit that I shot down, another action happens.
Another skill has been created through a special act. Through continues observation, a skill to find the target's information, 'Observation', has been created.
I stare blankly at the screen in front of me when suddenly I'm attacked by the enemy mobile suit. Raising my shield I stare at the mobile suit and shout "Observe!" To see what I'm dealing with. This is what I got instead.
MS-06 Zaku II, Lv 1 Hp 500 MP 100, A mass produced mobile suit which is the backbone of the Zeon army.
Not very powerful so I raise my gun again and blast it. And it blew up in a fantastic explosion and Left something behind that looked like an axe, so I observed it.
Heat Hawk Type5: An axe-shaped close combat weapon, it uses a super-heated blade to cut through the armor of enemy MS or vehicles. The thermal energy is generated by the power output of the Zaku II's thermonuclear reactor and relayed through the MS' hands.
And My 'observation' decided to also join the party.
[Observe]'s level has risen by one.
And finally before I could even find out more, text appear in front of my face to continue the training saying to scan the Zaku II. I look around looking for it's dead body while picking up the Heat Hawk a cool name if I say so my self. I find the body of the Zaku II and either I see it doing a blue scan or the suit is doing it and it waits a couple of seconds and then beeps to indicate it finished. I look at a blueprint screen of the Zaku II and it shows me the inner workings of the suit while showing a list of armaments. I swipe my hand in front of me to get rid of it and even more text appear and I'm getting ticked off. I quickly Read it and it tells me to scan an attacking Zaku.
Bullets begin to fly by and I start looking around, I raise my shield and look through the rectangular view screen. I feel bullets impact it but they hardly do any damage. I began to raise my Beam gun and fire once before I remember I have to scan it. Thankfully the Zaku rolled out of the way and then needed to re-orientate it self. The same blue scan gets to work and I wait for it to finish while the Zaku gets up and begins to aim it's weapon at me.
"Come on!" I say and when the Zaku has me in his sights the Beep to indicate it finished rang. The Zaku fired it's gun at me and I raised my shield to defend. The blueprints flash once in front of me and then shrink and go to the top right corner of my HUD. I feel the impact of bullets against my shield and prepare to fire again when I hear another announcement telling me to now capture the enemy Mobile suit and not to destroy it. Thats when Quests started appearing.
Capture Enemy Mobile suit and complete Mobile suit training!
I really didn't know what to think about this so I shook my head and brought out the Heat Hawk, using my thrusters which I some how knew how to use I sped forward and attacked with the blunt end. The Zaku dodged by ducking and brought out it's own Heat Hawk while gaining distance from me. I took a Spartan stance with my shield in front of me and my weapon ready by it's side. We stared at each other and I took the liberty to 'observe!' my opponent.
MS-06 Zaku II, Lv 2 Hp 1000/1000 Mp 500, A mass produced mobile suit which is the backbone of the Zeon Army. This one is slightly more skilled than other pilots.
"Interesting!" I mutter to myself, The Zaku takes a running charge at me and overhead swings it's Axe to attack. I use my thrusters and charge using my shield like a battering ram or like a football player.
A skill has been created through a special act. By charging your enemy, a skill to disorientate the target, 'Charge', has been created.
I didn't really care as I impacted with the Zaku and it was now on it's back, I then attacked with the blunt end of my heat hawk. I hit the visor thing that showed a red dot that allows it to see.
A skill has been created through a special action. A skill to utilize Blunt Weapons freely, 'Blunt Weapon Mastery', has been created. Blunt weaponry mastery Lv1 Exp: 1.5% (Passive) Allows user to freely handle blunt weapons, 10% increase in attack damage with blunt weapons. 5% Increase in attack speed with blunt weapons.
I am getting annoyed by these messages I just want to know if I can capture this thing some how? I 'Observe!' to see it's stats again.
MS-06 Zaku II, Lv 2 Hp 759/1000 Mp 459, A mass produced mobile suit which is the backbone of the Zeon Army. This one is slightly more skilled than other pilots. Status: Blind, confused.
It should be prime material for capture Now how do I go about doing it, the damn Messages didn't tell me! Another message pops up and I quickly read it.
"To capture Mobile Suits you must take them to a field you control or to your base? Where the hell is the base?" Considering I don't know where the base is I just Grab the Zaku by its back and drag it to the last Field I captured and hold it in place. A minute later a helicopter/plane approaches from the horizon and I decide to 'Observe!' it.
Gunperry Lv 1 Hp 500/500, A V-TOL transport vehicle, conceived by the Federation as a service craft the Gunperry has the capability to ferry mobile suits, MS components and large high-yield warheads. It's armaments are missiles.
The Gunperry approaches closer and closer and from then opens its yellow shaped container and safely lands right by us. Text appears in front of me and tells me to place the Zaku in the Gunperry Container. I dragged the damn thing and place it in lying down, I step back as the giant container closes it's door and then starts to lift into the air. I stand there watching it fly away into the distance where it eventually goes out of sight and then A notification pops up.
Capture Enemy Mobile Suit and complete Mobile Suit training! Quest complete!
Rewards: Captured Zaku II, 10000 G points, 1900 Exp, Zaku II parts, Heat Hawk Type5 x2, ZMP-50D 120mm Machine Gun x1.
Your level went up by one.
I dismissed them by waving my hand to the side and they quickly disappear. The world around me froze as text appears in front of me saying new things.
"Now that you have a feel for the way the world works you can go off and start your own adventure. Try to do your best and don't worry new things will constantly come about. And if you want to train some more and do missions say 'To Base' and you will be available and your current adventure will be saved as you do them. Good luck!"
Next thing I know I was at 'The Base' and I just stood there. Definitely gonna freak out!
This Is Stone Johnson-Vidrio freaking out!
