Our story takes place in the year AC (After colony) 2060. The colonies and Earth are allies now, but there's mutiny afoot in secret sanctions both on Earth as well as on the colonies. There are still believers of an ultimate power; the power that the OZ corporations tried to implant many years ago, and those individuals have started building mobile suits once again in hope to bring back the law of power through force. All Gundams were thought to be destroyed at the end of the last Great War between colonies and Earth, but models have been held in secret. Locked away in chambers, waiting to be awakened once again and fight. Among these machines are powerful tools of destruction capable of both devastation and power unmatched by anything the human race has ever seen. Those who are looking to rekindle the empires of tyranny are searching both the Earth and stars for these machines of death, but so far, none have been found. There are those who swore to protect the secrets of these machines with their life, but now....their life and the life of all who still hold the secrets of that legacy could be at risk through the secret they hold.
"We saw those head hunters again Blaire... they're still after that secret of yours?" A man asked a young woman with frosty white hair as she stood looking at some merchandise at a market kiosk.
"Yeah, so?" Blaire replied flatly as she placed down the decorated bowl she was looking at and turned to face the man talking to her with a stern gaze. "They'll be looking for a life time before they can find where my family has hidden it."
In the back of her mind, Blaire's thoughts were sent to a large cavern outside of the city, where a dark secret was hidden beneath boulders and rubble. Her memories flooded and a vision of a face inhuman and machine flashed by. Black and blue hues graced delicate but dangerous features on a HUGE body built for one purpose; Destruction.
The Shiro family, Blaire's family had become guardians of the secret hiding place of the once thought to be destroyed Marauder Gundam, and for generations that secret had been safe, until word of a revolution began to spread throughout the space colonies and Earth. Only this revolution was NOT a good one.
"You'd better watch it..... They mean business. The Kiro family has already been nearly brought to leave their home from those ruthless bastards came parading through their part of town ranting about some secret weapon the family had hidden somewhere." the man said before Blaire started to walk away.
"I know what I'm doing...." Blaire replied before walking away. She was going to visit her family's legacy...... for some reason, just seeing the Gundam still in place would secure her trust that her family could still keep this precious secret.
'I wonder how many brothers you have Marauder..... And if they are still safe....." Blaire said to herself as she made her way to the cave where the 'secret' these offensive men were after has been hidden for generations.
Walking cautiously through the forested area that surrounded the cave, Blaire kept her eyes peeled for any suspicious people or activity. In case she saw something that looked wrong; she would immediately abandon her quest and go back home without seeing Marauder safe and sound in its hiding place. She got closer and closer to the cave and finally saw that there was no one or nothing around to give her away, so she walked around and stepped in through a small opening along the right side of the cave just big enough for her and her alone. Pushing the protective camouflage of leafy branches and plants aside as she stepped into the dark and dry cave, she replaced the branches and camouflage quickly so no one could peer in and see.
Walking a bit further in, her senses picked up the familiarities of this place. The smell of dusty metal, and dry dirt, and then she saw the glint of a helmet, and no sooner that that vision her eyes rested on the massive crouched form that was the Gundam Marauder. It was a proud looking machine, tall, sturdy in build, and immensely thick armor. She reached out and touched the pale gray armor that covered the lower legs of this metallic beast and sighed. Marauder was still safe. Dusty, and rather old looking, but still safe.
"One day, you'll be free. But for now, you have to stay here..... If they find you, you'll either be destroyed, or used against the people..." Blaire said thoughtlessly as her eyes gazed up at the blank face staring down at her, with eyes darkened with lifeless fury.
