Note: I do not own Naruto, Gundam, or any of the characters.
But I do own independence, I think.
This is my first fanfic and I am only in 8th grade, so be nice.
BREE BREE BREE BREE! Went the alarm clock as a fist came slamming down on it. The strike caused the boy to float up in the small cabin. And as he lay there, floating, he let out a yawn of immense proportion. He slowly opened his eyes and looked out of the window to the vast sea of stars. His reflection depicted a boy of about 17 years of age with spiky blond hair, deep blue eyes and odd whisker marks on his cheeks.
He turned around to look at his small room. In one corner was his small bed with blue and white sheets and deflated pillow. Next to it was a little nightstand with a picture depicting himself, a scowling boy with red hair, and another boy with spiky brown hair and a little dog perched on his head. All were in a black uniform that belonged only to the elite black ops team of ZAFT.
He yawned again and pushed off the metallic ceiling toward the bathroom. He pushed himself into the shower and let himself bathe in the warm water. As he turned off the shower, he heard a knock at the door. He quickly wrapped himself in a towel and pushed off the wall toward the door.
As soon as he reached the door, it slid open to reveal a young woman dressed in the same black uniform as in the photo. She had brilliant green eyes and an unusual pink shade of hair. "Naruto, the captain wants to see you in the hangar at 0800." The still groggy blond let out another yawn and replied "Must be about the new models, right Sakura?" Sakura nodded her head in confirmation before saluting and pushing herself off down the hallway.
As the door shut, Naruto looked back to his little clock on the nightstand, it read 0758. "OH CRAP HE IS GOING TO KILL ME!" He then quickly shot over to the wall opposite his bed and pushed a few buttons. Part of the wall slid out and over to the side to reveal a modest closet. He quickly grabbed his own uniform and threw it on.
As he got into the hallway, he grabbed onto one of the many handles that lined the hallway and he sped off toward the hanger. When he got to the door leading to the hanger, he let go of the handle and stopped himself against the wall. Straitening his uniform, he entered the immense room. As he glanced down toward the hanger floor, he saw two giant objects covered in a brown cloth. He then pushed off the railing and glided down to the hanger floor.
As soon as he hit the floor he stood up to see a lot of intense glares directed at him. "Uh, sorry, my alarm is broken." "The only time your alarm is broken Naruto, is when you hit it for waking you up." Everyone turned to look at the speaker. It was a young man of 19 with slightly spiked brown hair and torques eyes. The most noticeable feature about him was the bandages that covered his left eye. He wore the standard uniform as everyone else, but had a captain's jacket draped over his shoulders that went down to his knees.
"Uh, yeah sorry about that captain Kenjiin." Naruto apologized. "Whatever, you are here on time for once and we need to get the presentation underway." With that, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, as Kenjiin began speaking again. "I'd like you to direct your attention to the suits at your right." As Kenjiin signaled, the tarp was pulled off. There lay a Gundam with a grey and white paint job. "This is the X1-06 Independence. This model was based off of the M-1 Astray. The most noticeable features are the twin 180mm DEEP launchers at its hip section. In its arm are beam sabers that double as guided throwing knifes. It's effective time and speed was quadrupled thanks to the four external fuel tanks on its back and the increased verniers. This will serve as my personal mobile suit until further notice. This let out a groan from everybody.
"However, this next model is up for grabs since nobody has been able to pilot it." This perked everyone's ears up, especially Naruto's. The next tarp got pulled off to reveal a black and red Gundam with armored legs and shoulders. Kenjiin went on to explain that the armor was to house the huge verniers that propel the mobile suit at breakneck speed. "This is the Idealist. It was originally codenamed gross biel because of its giant axe. It also has beam shields/ cannons in both of its hands as well as a 400mm cannon in its chest.
"Alright! I am going to take this suit all the way to its max!" Naruto stated. This caused a wave of similar comments throughout the hanger. But Kenjiin still stood there with a somber look on his face. Eventually, he spoke up. "The last person to try and do that got squished flatter than a pancake because of the gee forces." This caused the commotion to stop, but inside Naruto was still planning to pilot that insane machine.
(Later in the gravity block…)
Naruto took a lunch tray and sat down at one of the many tables. Next to him sat the boy with brown hair and dog. "Hey Naruto, you still planning on piloting the Gundam?" asked Kiba. Naruto just looked at him and gave him one of his trademark fox grin and said, "You betcha!"
"Hopeless." Both boys turned around to stare at the person who just interrupted them. It was a girl the same age as Naruto and Kiba. She had platinum blond hair tied up in a ponytail. "What are you doing here Ino-pig?" Growled Kiba. Ino smirked and said, "I was commenting on your idiotic ideas. Nobody can pilot that suit, not even Kenjiin." Naruto was now getting angry as Ino continued. "In fact, I seem to remember you failing at keeping a Ginn balanced Naruto." Naruto's anger suddenly dissipated and was replaced by a smirk. "Wanna bet on it?" Ino just stood there with a dumb struck look on her face. "Huh?" "You heard me, if I can master it you will go on a date with me. And if I loose, I will never bother you again." As much as she hated the prospect of dating Naruto, there was no way Naruto could actually pilot it. "It's a deal." And with that she shook Naruto's hand and walked away toward another table.
Kiba just looked blankly at Naruto. Why did he want to go out with Ino? Everybody knew that Naruto thought Ino was revolting. Perhaps the date was just a misdirection? No, Naruto wasn't that smart. Then it hit him…
"Man, either you're a pervert, or a genius." "Can't I be both?" Naruto grinned. "You have spent way too much time hanging out with Kenjiin." Kiba said.
"I know, you should see all the magazines he has!" Kiba just let out a groan. This was going to be a long day.
