Story by, Shinning Gundam of New Destiny RPG forums,
Prologue:
Set in the Year 57 of the Celestial Age, Earth is doing well, but even time has taken its toll on blue world. The population has grown to an astounding size. This forced Earths leaders to send out special probes designed to work for at least 10 years. This would allow for plenty of data travel back to Earth and give the world leaders their answers. After a while they gave up hope, it seemed the probes were either destroyed, or swallowed up by planets and stars in their way. After about 7 years, a signal finally returned to earth. Photos take of a planet that looked like earth; it was twice as big and had almost the same size in oceans. This lead to the launch of the first colonization attempt, March 3rd, CA 61, The Exploration ship arrives at the planets solar system. The system consisted of a sun, five planets and the numbers of moons were unknown. It took only a few days to arrive at the planet since it was 3rd from the sun with two moons. It seemed similar, but it was yet to be explored. The colonization ship sent down the shuttle full of men, most of them were soldiers so if there were any hostile creatures or life forms, the teams would have a chance to defend them selves. As they arrived on the ground, the put on protective suits and sent out a small cage, inside was mouse. If the air was deadly then the mouse would quickly suffocate. As they opened up the cage, the mouse seemed unharmed. They kept the mouse out for a few more minutes, this proved the air was safe to breathe and the teams began the exploration.
Day one of the Exploration, The teams have set up camp around a half savanna half jungle looking place. The dense brush, the weird looking trees, it was all very similar. The first team into the jungle parts came back without any trouble, the second team, however, stumbled onto what looked like an insect nest. It was very large and what ever made it had just been there. After about a few minutes studying it, the team began to here a buzzing noise, it got closer and closer and louder each minute. The team moved into the brush and waited, when the creature return, it surprised them all, it looked like a giant Bee. On guy tripped and the bug turned around, went it saw them it rushed at them with its stinger, one soldier shot at its abdomen with his M4 and killed it. The Team took it back for studying, little did they know, the creature had let out a signal before it died and a swarm of them began to approach the camp. Several perimeters were set up around the camp, a couple tanks, some VTOL craft, and a few jeeps with 50 cal. Machineguns. The Bugs were easy to defeat, and the teams continued on. Several more space exploration ships were mobilized from earth and sent to the planet. The current ship went down to the planet, creating a sort of dome base. This helped the teams of scientists and soldiers keep them selves up and going.
It took a couple more years for the rest of the ships to arrive. The first ship and its crew held out long and hard, and when the rest of the exploration ships landed, it was a great relief. The ships quickly formed more dome bases, one of them carrying mostly construction equipment. It was about three years after the colonization of the planet; they decided to give it a name. They named it Gaia. The first Settlement was created on the smallest of continents, called Albion, the same exact continent that was first explored. The Settlement was attacked every now and then by creatures of all sorts, such as the giant bees, a pack of Migits, and a giant hairless creature that looked like a bear combined with a boar. After a few long years, the planets secrets began to reveal them selves, most of them being the exact same ones of earth, the common cold, the flu, yellow fever, etc. It was in the year CA 85 that the first ever sport called Velocity runners was created. A fast and dangerous sport comprised of High speed, five story tall robots. Velocity Runner is a racing type sport using mechs called VRs or as the sport is called, velocity runners. Up till now, the sport only allowed people of age to compete, but all that changed when a young man by the name of Cyrus Kyoto, a sixteen year old boy, snuck his way into the race with a self built runner. After the race, he was taken to the security office of the tracks main building where he was introduced to the president of the Cosmos Corporation. Cyrus thought he was in trouble, but the fact was the president of the sport loved Cyrus' spirit and allowed him to stay, but under two conditions. One, he had to continue to fake his age, and two, Cyrus had to sign a contract that allowed Cosmos Corp. to tell him how to race.
