My OC, whom is called Matthew Kavanagh does however. Pay in mind, that as all my fics, I try not to stick to canon, and instead make slight deviations from it. Another note is that I will try to make my character to be as un Gary Stu-like as possible. This is my first Battletech/Mechwarrior fic. Also three dead characters from the Gundam SEED world namely the deceased trio of Olor, Rusty Mackenzie and Miguel Aiman will make their appearance in this fic and they will be OOC, since this is an AU fic. Enjoy.
Strangers from another World
Prologue: Arrival of Strangers
3049
Donegal Military Hospital
Donegal
Federated Commonwealth (Lyran Sector)
Pain… Confusion…. Those were the similar thoughts that ran through the three young men's heads as they awoke… somewhere. Rusty Mackenzie was the first to awake, finding himself in a hospital somewhere. He slowly sat up and tried to get his bearings, and realized that he was not alone in this strange hospital room. Attempting to try to recognize who they were, he then looked at the two other occupants of the room, who were stirring awake as well. As the fuzzy feeling in his head began to subside, he recognized them as his fellow members of the Le Creuset Team. Miguel Aiman, the Magic Bullet of Dusk and Olor.
Apparently they were placed in the same room for some reason most probably due to their military uniforms of some sort. Rusty did not know if they were in a civilian hospital or a military one, but suffice to say, the surroundings were unfamiliar to him.
He was brought out from his thoughts when he heard someone call his name. "Rusty… is it really you?"
He looked up and looked into the surprised faces of his comrades, and said with a soft grin and said. "Do you know any Rusty's with this hair color of mine? I swear Olor... if you keep your mouth open like that; flies are really going to fly in there.
Miguel chuckled weakly as he heard the lame joke, while Olor quickly shut up, and embarrassed look on his face, but both of them had a relieved look on their faces. This was the Rusty they come to knew and loves from their days in the Academy. "Good to see you around, Rusty… but did the two of you notice something strange? What was the last thing you remembered before we ended up… wherever this is?" He said finally.
Rusty thought deeply and then said. "The last thing I remember was that someone, an Earth Alliance Officer shot me, when I was supposed to retrieve the rest of the two mobile suit prototypes with Athrun."
Olor then said. "I remember being shot down by an Earth Alliance Mobile Suit…. And if I remember correctly is that is what happened to you as well, Miguel."
Miguel nodded as he agreed to what Olor had said, and he shrugged. "Well guys… I don't understand as to how we are alive when we are supposed to be dead… but we should count our blessings that we are still alive. Heck, I don't know if I could hate Naturals anymore, even though one did me in. I guess death has made us see things in a new light, huh?"
Rusty nodded and said. "Well said Miguel… though I am surprised that you became philosophical all of a sudden. Though it is a distinct improvement from your hot headedness back home… where we all came from." The last part was said in a joking manner.
Miguel sighed and then said. "Well, that is quite true…but back to the question… where are we now? I know that we are in a hospital of some sort… though I can't really tell if this is a civilian one, or a military one."
OLor was the first one to notice that the doorknob of their room turned and he said. "It looks like someone or some people are coming in into our room. We might as well as ask them where we are right now."
There was a unanimous nod, and then the three of them looked hesitantly at the door, waiting for the people on the other side to come in. They were a bit hesitant as to where they were, and how they got here, but one thing is on their minds, to find an answer to their questions. Little do they know that the answer that they were going to get is to change their lives forever.
A few moments ago,
Donegal Military Hospital
Donegal
Federated Commonwealth (Davion Sector)
Victor Steiner-Davion looked at the head of the hospital, Professor Samuel Eckhart with a questioning look on his face. Beside him was his uncle, Duke Morgan Hasek-Davion. Victor had received a message from Prof. Eckhart from Donegal, while he was studying in the Nagelring Military Institute, saying that it is of utmost importance… and secrecy and it was it was imperative that he come to the Donegal Military Hospital immediately. Confused why he had been summoned with such urgency, he decided to take leave for a moment, and Morgan was escorting his nephew, though he too was confused as to why he had been called away from New Srytis with such urgency.
Dr. Samuel looked at Victor and Morgan, and said. "I expect that you have some questions for me, my liege." His tone was neutral as he spoke, not betraying any emotion on his face.
Victor nodded, his body language betraying his emotions. "Indeed, Dr. Eckhart…. I want to know why I am called back here, while I am undergoing my training in Nagelring. I am supposed to graduate next year. What is this thing that you called me for? In your message, you mentioned that it was of utmost importance… and secrecy? So spill, Doctor… what is this piece of news that is so important that you have to tear me away from my training?"
Samuel nodded and then said. "A Mechwarrior from the 5th Donegal Guards found something interesting today… or should I say some people. Tell me my liege, have you heard of a military organization called Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty?"
Both Victor and Morgan were shocked at hearing the name. There was a deafening silence that enveloped the hallway, before Victor spoke. "Are you sure that is the name, Dr. Eckhart? I mean that organization only exists in the past, around two millennia ago. Why did you bring this up, anyway?"
"Like I said, a MechWarrior, Sergeant Matthew Kavanagh from the 5th Donegal Guards stumbled upon three men dressed in military uniforms, two green and one red while on patrol outside of the city. He then alerted the medics division and they were brought to this hospital, and they alerted me as well."
He paused for a moment before continuing his speech. "Upon closer study, we are able to determine the identities of these three men." He then brought out a folder for both Victor and Kai to study and handed it to them. "The three men are Rusty Mackenzie, an elite ZAFT redcoat, only given to their aces. Miguel Aiman, an ace pilot that goes by the moniker, The Magic Bullet of Dusk, due to his sharpshooting ability and his color scheme of his Mobile Suit, something that is now obsolete by now, the ZGMF-1017 GINN. And finally Olor Sanders. All three of them belonged to the team of one Rau Le Creuset, who in the reports I have dug up is one of the top space commanders of that particular military organization."
Victor nodded and then asked. "That is well and good, … but that does not explain how these three people who were supposed to be KIA back in C.E 71 are able to appear here."
Samuel Eckhart nodded, and said. "Well, I do not know much about temporal mechanics, but I suspect that they were brought through time after their deaths. More often than not, I think that they would be just as confused as we are about them."
Victor nodded and was about to say something, when a medic arrived and spoke to Samuel, who promptly nodded, and dismissed the man. He then asked. "What is wrong now, Dr. Eckhart?"
Samuel chuckled and then said. "Well, that medic just informed me that our 'guests' have finally awakened. Let us meet our guests from another time now, shall we?" He then turned and motioned for his nephew, and his friend towards the room where the three ZAFT personnel were held.
Victor just looked at his uncle, who shrugged as he began to walk, following the doctor's footsteps until they stopped in front of a hospital room. He then saw his uncle look at him and said. "Are you ready?" He just nodded in reply.
Samuel nodded in return, and his hand went to the room's door, and turned the knob, and then opened the room door, and took his first step inside, for a meeting between a people of different times.
End of Prologue
Authors Note: Whew… this is my first attempt of creating a Gundam SEED/MechWarrior/BattleTech crossover story. The setting that I am going to use would be from the beginning, a year before the Clan's initial invasion of the Inner Sphere. I know that I am not a newbie writer, but I am indeed new in this particular genre. So please do read and review this, and flames would be ignored for your information. DO leave some comments and review this, you guys could leave some constructive feedback. Also, I want to ask something of you guys… in case you guys want me to continue this. What Unit do you want our Gundam SEED trio to be assigned to? What Mechs will be assigned to them? And hopefully in the future, should they have their own unit, mercenary or otherwise, what name should the unit be? Please include the answers to these questions in your reviews. Thank you very much.
