Gundam Wing UN war. A remake of the original classic (hah!)
Chapter 1: The war escalates.
This is an attempt to remake UN war. When I post it all the old stuff will go away. The story will start out different from the original, in every way. But will gradually get closer to where it was destined to go as the chapters pass. (I had it planned out a ways) Albeit I would have started sooner had my hard drive not crashed. And I would have set up situations where certain aspects of my "Story tree" idea can work (an idea which I have functionally abandoned, but I still think its cool!) but I don't know what was planned, since it's all gone. (Curse not getting more stuff on the internet)
And since I had planned and typed six chapters for the original but only go up three I really don't know how the plot will really flow. Especially since chapter three is a mess and chapter six held more important plot events.
Italics mean thought
On with chapter 1!!!
-Ad 2120/Ac 196- The opening of the interdimensional portal was an unintended joint effort by two teams of gifted scientists. True they were millions of light years apart. But they had been working towards the same goal and their near exact machines naturally sought each other out. So it passed that by new years of the year after colony 197 and New Year's year of our lord 2021 two earths collided. These earths were labeled for both when they were created and the defining element of their history. And thus began the chaos that would endanger an entire galaxy and shift entire planetary races together and then apart.
Because war is destined to follow when human strangers meet.
Soon after meeting humans on the earth labeled earth two or "the lords earth" (our earth a little more than 100 years from now) and the earth known as earth one, or "the pacifists earth" ideas were exchanged. Ideas for everything, from dishes to dams, tableware to tennis, from machinery to mobile suits. Earth two had no Libra. Few functioning colonies. And only the vaguest predecessor to mobile suits. But these new ideas entered both the wrong and right hands. And were promptly used by those who wish for warfare, those who wish for power, those who wish for peace, even if out of fear of the repercussions of war, and even those who simply wanted the 'latest and greatest' technology. And then they fought.
Now nine months and twelve days into Ac 197 and AD 2121, war has been raging for four months. Mobile suits are being deployed more and more en masse. Mass production factory lines are being made. And two worlds are slowly re-militarizing as the conflict has only just begun.
-A school in long island New York, earth of our lord, September twelfth Anno Domini (year of our lord) 2121 approximately 8:00 A.M.-
"Hey guys I've gotta go get something to eat. I'll be right back." Thomas valentine said as he left a group of fifteen some odd people. Thomas was fifteen years old. Blue eyes brown hair. Around Six foot three he was tall for being fifteen. But that was how he was. Also today he was hungry and heading just across and down the hall from his group of morning socialites to get something to eat in the school cafeteria. He never would have figured the turn of events. Immediately before entering the cafeteria he was called by someone from the school office.
"Excuse me, are you Thomas valentine?"
"Yes."
"Could you come into the office? A package arrived for you."
"Why at the school? Um sure." Tom turned around and went into the school office, right across the hall from the school cafeteria. There some person was holding a four foot tall narrow package.
"This came for you, but it was addressed to the school. From a Jonathan selvis. Know him?"
"No never heard the name before today. So what should I do, Open it I guess."
"Yes I suppose. It was addressed to you, if you don't need it we'll keep it here, it's very heavy." The man holding the package helped Thomas place it on the floor and then handed him a pair of scissors to open the thing.
"Wonder what it could be." Thomas muttered to himself as he sliced open the tape sealing the end of the package. Then he opened it to reveal a large arming sword, one of the original 'broadswords', with a sheath. The sword's blade was keen as ice, and seemed near perfect. The hilt was metal wrapped in rope. With a red pommel stone placed at the very end. "Um wow." Tom knew that he was getting dozens of glares as he held a weapon that could incapacitate much of the staff and students. "I really don't know this selvis guy. I'm not kidding." There were few people who believed him. "God I didn't want a sword. You keep it then." Tom placed sword in sheath and sheathed sword in box. And box upright. "Now I need breakfast." With that tom left an office full of suspicious gawking staff.
Inside the cafeteria two former good friends, Rebekah kleimer and Devin Steinbeck were busy hanging out with their respective social groups. Devin was tall. At about six foot four and a half, with short blonde brunette mixed hair. He had blue eyes and made quite a sight, and just like Thomas was hard to lose in a crowd. Rebekah was a girl with shoulder length brown hair and green eyes. Around five foot eight in height she was short compared to the two guys in the line. She also was much more temperamental than both the two guys. Thomas and Devin were quite relaxed about much that was going on. While Rebekah was far more impatient and hot headed in general. The three weren't best of friends, but they were not anywhere near enemies.
-Above the school-
Meanwhile a battle was about to begin between the presently unnamed rebel faction and various local controlling powers was going into the grey area that was long island. Several planes flew overhead as mobile suits were deployed. Mostly Leo's and Ares. Also a few Cancers were deployed in the waters around the island to sink the small naval fleet that had been stationed on New York City's shield island.
Mean while island military forces had deployed themselves to hopefully intercept and shoot down the planes. Ares fighter planes, and the Cyber, primitive mobile suit predecessors, were sent into the sky to shoot down what they could. Leo's were on the ground, along with many anti aircraft and anti mobile suit missile launchers were set and ready to fire. But all this was worthless.
For when the Rebel faction decided to take New York City they knew that a large and strong force was needed. And while they lacked the quantity they had the quality in the first Gundam pilot from earth two. Jonathan Reynolds was the name of the pilot. He was eighteen and ten months when he became the first pilot of an earth two produced Gundam. The Gundam he piloted was the Gundam heolstor. A version of epyon that was painted black for the main body, and where black had been on epyon there was a dark red. The only major design difference was the presence of a long tube on each shoulder and the shoulders being more rounded than epyon's. The heat whip had the main whip hole, but there were four other hidden panels making five whips. The five whips were useful for holding one opponent at bay with a whip on each arm and leg, while the main whip hit the mobile suit wherever the pilot chose. The epyon sword was changed slightly in that it had become attached to the wrist of epyon. But it was still black. There were two minuscule lasers, these lasers had almost no power behind them, save for when they fired concentrated beams. But still the odd of impacting something when they were solid beams was low. The lasers were the tubes on heolstor's shoulders were the lasers, and could turn a three hundred and sixty degree circle and could go up and down one hundred and eighty degrees. But the final killer was four sets of eighty missiles stored under each shoulder. The missiles were stored on both the front and backside of the shoulders of heolstor and were in two wine rack styled holders that were layered in two layers of forty. To fire the shoulders opened up, the laser moved to accommodate this, and the missiles went on their merry ways.
Jonathan Reynolds, when not in a psychotic fury, or malicious killing spree, was not the temperament his Gundam would suggest he would be. He was a man who stood five foot ten inches. He had short brown hair and brown eyes. He always seemed sorry or something of the like when not addressing his soldiers in a rallying speech. However when in a speech he changed to become one of the greatest speakers in history. Usually he wore what was best called a green mechanics jacket. But in battle he added various medals he had earned during his six month run with the rebellion against a recently made world order. The untied nation. And idea almost exactly the same to relena peacecrafts world nation the only difference was there were the original boundaries that existed with former countries, but they were more like states in the new world order. Now, just as this battle for a major world metropolis began, he was in something like a step below his grand malicious glee.
"Now men, take the area immediately below you and annihilate any troops that are there." As Reynolds Gundam was deployed, along with his personal guard of six Virgo's the sight of a school undefended brought absolutely no feeling of caring or hatred into him. "No soldiers here?" He pondered. "Hell, the civilians haven't tried to evacuate or enter a shelter. Whatever then onto the next target." Reynolds shrugged off this lack of a foe. Considering it unimportant to kill civilians he had managed to ignore the missile base just a few short miles from where he had deployed. That fact would com back and bite him far in the future. But it would also bite him now. And by 'bite' I mean explode, take out his personal guards and smash his Gundam into the school our three other important characters were in.
And by what coincidence was that Thomas was almost at the office while both Rebekah (Bekah from here on in) and Devin were just a little more than one heat whip's distance away. How coincidental was it than when the whip crashed those three grabbed onto the ruined floor and a large protruding pipe. Devin and Bekah on one side, Tom on the other. All three were badly beaten up from the glass shards, pieces of floor, and general heat effects of a heat whip.
"God damn it!" Shouted Bekah as she dangled above the basement level of the school. "The tech shop is not a place I would like to fall down to." It was a fall of around eighteen feet. And onto a heat whip and various items made to slice wood, steel, brick, and all other materials harder than either human skin or bone that made it worse. Devin began to inch himself up while tom began to swing back and forth on the pipe he was holding on to. After Devin got up Bekah shouted, "Well get me up you lazy bastard!"
"God, you are loud." Devin muttered as he helped pull her up. "Yo tom you need help?" Devin asked as he watched tom swing and swing. Gaining even more height to his arc as he swung.
"Well, I will in a bit but odds are it's not in the way you expect it to be." Tom kept on swinging until his feet finally found purchase in some protruding object. "Now this may seem strange but try and flip me over entirely."
"Huh? What's that going to do?" Devin asked, even while moving his hands to toms clamped together feet. Devin motioned Bekah to come and help too.
"Well," Tom replied, looking as best he could at the office where his package was, "I need something in the office, and it may help us survive this ordeal."
"Works for me." Devin said. "On a count of three I'm throwing you. One, Two." Devin looked at Bekah one last time to make sure she was ready "Three!!!" The two shoved tom's legs upwards and towards the other side of the gap. It was a perfect push. Tom's knees and feet landed, true his back was contorted at a degree nearing one hundred and eighty, but tom just a quickly straightened himself out and stood up.
"That back contortion hurt a bit." Tom muttered to himself. "You guys should probably step back, I don't know if this crack is at all stable and my hand was over a water leak, with a lot of pressure behind it so now it'll get all wet for you. Not to mention the mobile suit down in the court yard, my advice go through the other door. I'll meet you by the football field if I can get out." Tom turned and ran into the office to find that flying debris had killed the people there. Tom silently prayed and mourned for the dead but then grabbed his sword he had gotten delivered and went on.
Once he was outside he found that Bekah and Devin were still where they had been. "Why didn't you guys move?" Tom asked.
"The Mobile suits leg was in the way, and it's much wider than this whip thing." Devin replied. "So we're thinking about jumping." Devin looked at the gap. "It's a six foot gap though, that's not the easiest thing to jump over."
Then Reynolds woke up from his fall. This wasn't all bad as Reynolds was not a man who tried to kill unarmed civilians. Perhaps put them out cold, and temporarily disarm armed civilians, but he wouldn't kill civilians, well not intentionally any way. And of course he saw the three living people who were dumb enough to be standing out in the open and in the building. They looked beat up. Although the least beat up looking one was holding a scabbard. (It is scabbard not sheath, sheath is for a short sword, scabbard is for a long sword, like the one Tom has) He would have to get some idea of where he was and find a way to get out alive. Since his tracking and GPS was offline he was going to get out and ask a local for his location.
"Hello there." Reynolds said calmly. "Could you tell me where I am?" The conversation that the three people were having continued. He knew he would have to speak up. "Hey!" Reynolds watched three heads jerk and turn. "Where am I!?!" Someone seemed to be talking, but he couldn't hear what they were saying. I suppose harsher methods may be necessary.
He pulled out a gun. Then he fired it. Again Reynolds watched, now with blatantly obvious agitation, as three heads jerked in a reflex from the gun shot. "Would you tell me where I am already damn it!!!" The three people looked ready to speak when three more mobile suits landed.
"Commander!" One said. Quickly Reynolds jumped in the cockpit of his mobile suit and started to get up. "We've got to retreat, the enemy defenses were too tough for us to handle."
"Alright, but I'll need a ride. It looks like those missiles threw off quite a few of my systems. Those inadequate scientists, they have no idea what real combat situations are like." Reynolds was broadcasting over his cockpit radio because that was one of the few working systems his mobile suit still had. "Alright when you guys are ready take me up." Quickly pushing buttons and pulling levers Reynolds got his mobile suit to move through an alternate movement process. It was a fancy way of saying, moving even though it's to beaten up to move normally. "Well?" With that the Gundam was lifted into the air and placed in an air carrier that took off.
"What?" Was all Bekah said as the three watched the three Taurus mobile suits head to the North West. Leaving a fair amount of damage and dead, but still very little damage done. At least until one man turned around and began to charge his laser.
"Hey you stupid civilians. Siding with the United Nation like that. Then striking our leader down too. You'll pay."
"No!" Shouted Reynolds as he looked out the window of his mobile suit carrier from a ways away.
Just then what seemed to be a robotic angel flew in and blocked the oncoming beam attack with one of its wings. Then the angelic like mobile suit quickly dispatched the Taurus with a blast from its powerful beam cannon. Then turned to face the building and seemed to nod at the kids. "Huh. What the hell?" Tom said more amazed and dazed than anything else. The Gundam took off causing Tom Bekah and Devin to cover their eyes from the intense heat that came from the rockets on the thing. That was enough time for the other three to enter.
A few moments passed as Tom prepared to make the jump when Devin shouted, "Behind you!" Tom turned faster than he thought he could do to see three people, all with holstered guns, about to reach him.
"You two get going, find more people or hide from these guys. Do something. I'll see what I can do here." Tom pulled out his arming sword. "They say that the last time these were used in combat was the sixteenth century at the latest. Let's see what I can do with one in the twenty second century." Tom put his sword in front of him and looked at his potential opponents. He couldn't see their faces since they were in shadows but he saw most of their bodies. One it wouldn't have mattered since his hair covered half his face. He wore the preventers uniform of world one, as did the other two, and carried two dull looking throwing knives. The second had a braid that tom had glimpsed as he had turned to face him initially. Other than that there were no distinguishing features he had. The last carried a traditional Chinese Dao had a short braid and distinctively Asian looks. "Well now don't rush." Tom said arrogantly. He wasn't arrogant, but if he sounded the part maybe these three would back off because they thought he was good.
Then the one with his hair over half his face, and the one with the long braid ran past him as tom made an attempt to stop one, but ended up stuck to the wall by a throwing knife. "Hey!" Tom shouted as he pulled ripped his sleeve of the wall. "God." He muttered to himself.
Suddenly the remaining person spoke. "You're brave, I'll give you that."
"Huh? You mean me?" Tom pointed to himself and got a nod for a response. "Well then thank you. But if you're anything like the others then I suppose that won't stop you, will it."
"Hardly." Said the remaining person as he pulled out his sword.
"That is definitely a bad thing."
-Meanwhile with Bekah and Devin-
Devin was still running. He was headed towards an exit from the school. From there he could find any other survivors and hopefully something to ward off the mysterious arrivals. Also he hoped tom was okay. Devin was very athletic and had the people not had guns Devin was pretty certain between Tom with a sword and himself they could have taken those three. But he knew that Tom had told him to run because Tom both felt that he was going to be captured or killed stay or leave, and because these guys had guns. Then he heard foot steps. "Crap they're still on our tails. And there are no good exits around here." Well there's one possible way.
Then the pursuers came around the corner. They were moving slowly. "They turned here, then they stopped running. They can't be too far." Said the person with the hair over their eye.
"Now!" Shouted Devin as he ran out to try and hit both of the people.
-With tom-
Tom stood still. He knew it would be almost impossible for him to win. And he couldn't run, the guy in front of him was guarding the only exit. "Well I'm the type to take insurmountable odds and throw them aside." Tom charged the guy. He just side stepped toms swing. Which a few inches from the ground turned out and tried to be a sweep to the feet. But just short of the guy's feet Tom hit the ground and lost his momentum.
The guy walked over to tom and stood above him. "You've never used a sword before have you." Tom nodded. "Nope, well then I'll give you some credit that was half decent."
"Hey, that's a Dao sword you got their correct?" The guy looked at tom. Though Tom could still not see his face he could guess that the guy looked puzzled. "Yeah I over research a bit on things like that. Well get on with whatever you were doing then. Though if you are going to kill me then I would like you to tell me now."
"Why what would that do?"
"Not sure. But it can't hurt to ask." Then the guy knocked Tom out with one hit. "Well that's that…" Tom muttered as he blacked out.
-Meanwhile with Devin and Bekah once more-
"NOW!" Devin shouted as he jumped out from the corner he was hiding. Bekah followed suit a few second later.
Devin managed to land a punch on the guy with the long braid seeing that he was closest. Then Bekah managed to put a garbage can on his head. The guy with the hair over his face was not touched in the least however.
"That was pretty interesting. And fairly impressive. I suppose we can send you to training instead of the usual stuff." The man with the hair over his face quickly knocked out Bekah, and took the wind out of Devin, with a punch to the stomach each.
"God that guys strong." Devin said painfully. "If this guy was that strong with just a punch I wonder what the other guy with the sword could do to Tom with that sword of his." Then the guy with the hair in front of his face knocked Devin out. "I hope he's alive…" Devin muttered as he watched the world go black.
A few minutes later the three met up with one person over each of their shoulders. Then the communicators at their waists went off. "This is Zero-four. Zero-two Zero-Three Zero-five do you copy?"
"Yes." Came the preventer's responses in triplicate.
"Oh," added the one with the long braid, "Looks like we found another three for training candidates."
-End-
Notes on weird words/terms
Arming sword – this is the sword knights actually used, it's different than a claymore, rapier, smallsword, and the longsword
Heolstor – old English for darkness, turned into holster
Dao – the sword closest to the sword that wufei actually uses. WUFEI DOES NOT USE A KATANA! Kenshin uses a katana, Kyo and Kyshiro use katana. Samurai in general use katana. All aforementioned groups and persons are from Japan. Wufei is from china, hence he does not use a Japanese sword he uses a Chinese one that closely resembles the Dao. For all of my fanfictions, unless otherwise stated, wufei uses a Dao. (Really it looks a lot like a long cutlass to me, but he's Chinese so we'll go with a Dao)
That's chapter one. If you can't guess who the three mysterious people were, shame on you. If you can't guess which Gundam the Gundam was, more shame on you. If you can't guess who was on the radio, that's okay that one's kind of tough.
So read and review. Tell me what you think.
