A/N Some of you may know me from my work in, A Rouge' Tale. Currently THE MOST POPULAR STORY HERE! Well now, I'm going to work to make the BEST MQ STORY!

The Beginning of the Rest of Our Lives

"Give us all the money in the joint!"

Alexander looked up from his book to see three men, one holding a laser dagger, while another held a bag, and the last just looking tough.

"Now is that anyway to treat a lady?" Alex asked, standing up.

"Sit down!" one ordered.

"Nah, I'll stand," Alex said.

"Who are you?" one asked.

"Alexander Stargazer. Age 17," the boy replied, and took off his glasses. He dusted off his blue vest, and looked at his black shirt, and blue pants. "Happy to beat you up. Look, I just came here to get a good drink at my favorite restaurant, but if you guys going to mess that up then, you'll be getting a beat down."

The three growled and charged forward, yelling and screaming. Alex sidestepped and the dagger barely touched his, 'emo', hair.

"Missed me by 'that' much," Alex joked, holding his fingers close together.

"Little punk!" the dagger man yelled and made a grab at Alex.

Alex jumped on top of a chair, and then jumped off, making the chair slide forward and trip the man up. The man tripped, and fell down, face first into the ground.

"That looked like it really hurt," Alex said. "Want to try again?"

"Little punk!" one of the others yelled and charged at Alex.

The boy smiled and kicked a chair, making it hit the man in the face, and run into the wall. He then fell to the ground, unconscious.

"And he's out!" Alex laughed.

"AAAAHHH!" the last one yelled, charging at Alex. Alex smiled and picked up a spoon from a table. As the man reached to grab him, Alex hit his neck with the spoon.

"ACK!" he yelled, holding his throat. "OW!" Alex then hit him at his cheek, and the man grabbed his cheek. For a full minute Alex beat the man and the man held that spot in pain, only for some other part of him to get hit. Alex suddenly stopped, but the man kept covering random parts of him and moved his hands around.

"Idiot," Alex joked and punched him in the head, knocking him out. Alex then smiled and looked at the cashier who was a cute girl. "Hey there, hot stuff, "Alex winked.

Suddenly Alex heard clapping and saw an old man at a seat. The man was in a dark red robe and red shoulder guards. He had piercing cyan eyes, long white beard, and long white hair that curved to the right. Also on his robe were accents of gold.

"Hello, I am Warlic. Dean of GEARS University. Tell me are you related to a Chan Stargazer?"

"Chan? Yeah, that's my Dad."

"Hahaha! I thought so," Warlic laughed. "Chan Stargazer, or should I say, General First Class Chan Stargazer. Sigh… I remember when he was around your age, and how he went to my University. Ah, but no look! Raising a fine young man! You look a lot like him!"

"Well my Dad is really busy with his military job, so we don't see a lot of each other, but yeah, a lot of people say we look alike," Alex smiled.

"Good, good! Tell me, I'd like to invite you to my University, GEARS University. What do you say?"

"Me? Really…!? I…I'm honored!" Alex said, and shook Warlic's hand. Not only was his father stationed near GEARS University, but some of the HOTTEST girls were in Soluna City, going to GEARS University.

"Excellent, there is a shuttle leaving to Soluna City in two weeks, will you be ready?"

"You bet!" Alex said. "Thank you!"

Two Weeks Later

"ALL BORDERS FOR SOLUNA CITY 018, PLEASE REPORT TO THE SHIP NOW!"

"That's my call," Alex said, picking up his backpack. He walked to some escalators and was brought to a large tube. He then stepped in and a blast of wind sent him flying up and through the tube.

Next thing he knew, he landed in his seat, face first. "I hate Air Tubes," he whispered.

"ALL PASSANGERS, LET ME BE THE FIRST TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON YOUR ACCEPTANCE TO GEARS UNIVERSITY," the Intercom yelled. "PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MOVE ABOUT THE SHIP, WE'LL BE TAKING OFF IN HALF AN HOUR. AND DON'T WORRY; YOU WILL EACH BE GIVEN A MECHA ON AT GEARS UNIVERSITY. BY WAY MY NAME IS STAR CAPTAIN SYS-ZERO

"This awesome!" Alex said. He then saw a big red button on the wall and smiled. He then pressed the button whispering, "shiny…"

Suddenly the doors opened, and Alex nearly fell out of the ship. "AAAAHHHHH!!"

"ALSO PLEASE NOTE THAT NO ONE SHOULD PRESS THE BIG RED BUTTON, THANK YOU!"

"Now you tell me?" Alex yelled. Suddenly the doors closed and trapped Alex, slightly crushing his sides.

"THAT WAS FOR WHOEVER WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO PRESS THE BIG RED BUTTON."

"So… You. Me… A nice bed?" Alex asked.

"Uh… no," the girl said and walked off.

"Dang… Hey Miss, you know you have some lovely e-"

"No."

"…Darn… Sigh… Hey, Miss-"

"No."

"I was just asking which way to the bathroom!"

"ATTENTION ALL PASSANGERS. WE ARE NOW NEARING GEARS UNIVERSITY. P-"

BOOM!!

"PAY NO MIND TO THE EXPLOSIONS. WE ARE ONLY BEING FIRED UPON BY UNKNOWN SHIPS!"

BOOOOOOOOMMMMM!

"EVERYONE PLEASE REPORT TO THE BRIDGE NOW!"

Alex was quickly pushed by a large crowd to the bridge and saw a tall muscular man with dark skin, dark blue sun glasses, brown pants, blonde hair, and a blue sleeve shirt with brown parts.

"Hello, I am your captain, Sys-Zero. We have recently been attacked by unknown ships… We have also gotten visual sights on Soluna City," Sys-Zero said, and pressed a button on the wall. A large TV screen came from the ceiling and stopped mid air.

The screen then turned on to reveal a man covered in a blue military armor and his helmet next to him. "Starship… Do… N-… LAND! I REPEAT! DO NOT LAND!" the man yelled. His low cut white hair making Alex's eyes go wide.

"Dad…?"

"Enemy…crafts! Came out of… nowhere!" Alex's Father yelled. "Leave now! Warn the Ki-"

"CHAN! They're comin- AAAGGGH!" a man yelled, but a hand grabbed him and threw him aside.

BBBBBBBZZZZZZZZTTTTT

"That's all the message we have… Sadly we cannot follow it."

"What do ya mean!?" a student yelled.

"We do not have enough fuel to go to any other nearby planets. The only thing to do is land in a clearing. I will ask each of you to stay here, as this is the most protected part o the ship."

Alex though, wouldn't listen. While everyone talked, the boy ad sneaked into the back and opened a door. He looked around to see a jetpack and smiled.

He grabbed it and put it on. He then ran to the door from earlier and heard with his ears. "We're passing into the atmosphere!"

Alex grabbed to a table that was bolted to the ground as the ship shook. As soon as it ended, Alex ran to the door and took a deep breathe. He then opened it and jumped out.

"WOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOO!" Alex yelled, flying down.

As he fell Alex pressed a button on the jetpack, which then blasted a… blast of fire. The blast pushed him up as he fell, making the landing go slower. He then saw a military base not too far and flew over.

"I hope I make it," he whispered as he fell towards it. Suddenly he heard puffing noise and looked at his jetpack. "No…NO! NO! NO! AAAAHHHHH!" Alex yelled and he quickly began working on getting the jetpack off.

He slipped his arms out and jumped, getting blown forward as the jetpack exploded and Alex was sent right through a ceiling, and landed on the harsh ground. "Ooohhh…" Alex groaned, standing, holding his side, only to fall back down.

Alex awoke to the sound of gun fire and yells. He opened his eyes to see familiar sight. His Dad.

"Dad?"

"Son? Glad to see you're awake kid."

Alex's Dad had some noticeable wrinkles, with mostly white hair with some black hair in a low cut. He had blue armor all over his body with a brown line over the chest diagonally.

"Dad… What's going on?" Alex asked.

"Shadowscythe."

"Huh?"

"An Alien Race that attacked just a few days ago. They just attacked, I don't even know why!" Chan yelled. Suddenly they heard a strange growl and Chan ran to Alex and grabbed him.

"Dad?" Alex asked.

"Come on," Chan ordered and ran to a window. "Go!" Chan ordered and pushed it open and then forced his son through it. "I'll be right behind you!"

Alex climbed through the small window and turned around to help his Dad in. Suddenly the door to the small barracks they were in was broken open two show two strange alien beings.

The Aliens had long arms and long legs, but they stood oddly, with their legs bended a lot, and so were their arms. They had one eye and a large, shell head, like a triceratops, with only one eye. They were Shadowscythe.

"DAD!"

"Move!" Chan ordered, but was suddenly brought down by a hail of laser fire from the two Shadowscythe Troops.

"NO!" Alex cried out as his Father's body hit the ground. "RAG!" Alex yelled and slipped through the window and took his father's gun. He then let out a cry of anger and opened fire, blasting the two Shadowscythe Troops, and killing them.

Alex still fired upon the Shadowscythe's bodies, as purple blood came out and covered Alex's body. Alex yelled out and began beating the Shadowscythe's bodies with the gun, smashing it to a broken heap of scrap.

"Alex…Alex!" Chan yelled.

Alex suddenly turned around to his father and dropped his gun. The boy fell to his knees and held Chan.

"Dad… Please… don't die."

"Everyone dies son… it's a sad truth. Listen… I need you to find something… I was working on a new mech… Experimental Project… X-8820… Find it… It is east of here, underground. You will know when you have found it…"

"Dad… What are you talking about!? I'm no hero!" Alex yelled.

"Yes…you are…" Chan whispered, and coughed some blood. "Go… Find X-8820…Find…it… you'll know what to do…" Chan whispered.

"DAD!" Alex screamed.

"Do not… let me death… change you for the wor…st…." Chan whispered as he drew his last breathe and his eyes closed.
