Disclaimer and Author's note: Disclaimer and Authors Note: Super Robot Wars series belong to the wonderful people at Banpresto, and all the people involved in it. ANd this is my first attempt at writing a SUper Robot Wars fic, so please bear with me if I make any mistakes along the way. The history note is taken from a walkthrough made by MNeidengard from so this part of the fic is dedicated to his hard work. The original character, Adam Hammond is my creation and is the fictional younger brother of the Mobile suit Gundam villainess, Crawley Hammond, who was the lover of Ramba Ral.
Chapter 1: Cockpit of Steel
Explosions rocked the school at Hokkaido as Kusuha Mizuha looked around nervously. It has been a while since her last conversation with her friend , Kouji Kabuto and Sayaka Yumi. She also was looking for her boyfriend ( that is if she got down to admit it ), Brooklyn T. Luckfield, who she addresses as ' Bullet-kun'. They were separated in the aftermath of a plane crash that had landed forcefully at their school grounds, due to the attack of the Mecha Beasts.
' Bullet-kun... where are you ? ' Kusuha had a worried expression as she searched the school ground nervously, and nearby the wreckage of the plane, before she felt something calling her in her mind. She looked around, feeling confused at the source of the call until her gaze fell on the wreckage of the plane that had crashed. Something was inside... something big.
As she took a closer look, she realized that it was a robot of some sort, with humanoid features, a star shaped chest, and a robust frame. She then felt a call again in her mind, and as she looked at the robot, she deduced that the robot was calling her. But she had to look for Bullet-kun, and she ignored the call for a moment, concentrating to look for the person that is important to her.
Meanwhile, Kouji Kabuto was not having a good day. Riding in his Hover Pailder, he scowled to see two Mecha-Beasts, Garada K7, which resembles a large mechanical purple skeleton robot with giant scythe like blades on either side of its skull, and Doublas M2, a large Mechanical Beast with two serpent like heads. What's worse, he also saw the familiar Aerial Fortress Gool floating above the city. He then was tempted to rub his temples as he heard the familiar voice of his old nemesis, the androgynous Baron Ashura. " So, we meet again, Kouji Kabuto... I must say that you have the devil's own luck for being able to escape that attack... no matter, today shall be the day you die!"
" Baron Ashura... why the hell did you do this for ? Don't you get tired of creating mass destruction just to get at me ? You will never defeat me, or Mazinger Z, so why don't you just give up already. " Kouji retorted.
"Mwahahahahaha... how naive you are, Kouji Kabuto. I, Baron Ashura... will never give up in trying to defeat you. And this time, I have a found a sure fire way to defeat Mazinger Z !"
" Dream on, half-man!" Kouji retorted, though he had a sinking feeling at the pit of his stomach.
" Don't be so sure, Kabuto... without you, Mazinger is just a hunk of lifeless metal... and my mission is to kill you. In that floating vessel of yours, you are no match for My Gool, or even the Garada and Doublas. So why don't you give up, and meet your fate!"
" Never! I will defeat you even if it means my death!" Kouji replied as he steered his Hover Pailder towards the city, intent in driving off the Mecha-Beasts. 'Damn... of all things, that plane crashed against our school. Hope that Bullet, and Kusuha are allright.'
He was brought out of his thoughts, as his quick reflexes steered the Pailder to safety, as the missiles that the Doublas and the Garada barely missed him. " Hey, that was dangerous, you jerks! Here, I'll return the favor to you all. MISSILE, FIRE!!!"
Four missiles launched from the launchers below the cockpit of the Pailder, and hit both Mecha-Beasts, making them stagger back, but they soon recovered, and the Garada took one of scythe like blades from the sides of its skull and threw it like a boomerang, while the Doublas' eyes glowed and fired destruction rays at the Pailder, which Kouji dodged again, destroying another part of the city.
'Damn... what the hell am I doing... I'm the pilot of the invicible Mazinger Z ! I can't just wait around for army reinforcements, it would be too unmanly of me!' Kouji thought as he targeted the Doublas and fired another volley of missiles, further knocking the twin serpentine headed Mecha Beasts back.
' Arrgghh... its no use, i'll never finish them off at this rate... I really need some heavy firepower here... huh ? What the... twin high energy signatures detected ? What the hell ? ' Kouji thought as he was surprised as a towering robot rose from the ruins of the school. His comm line then crackled open and a familiar female voice came through the line. " I'm here to help , Kouji-san!"
" Huh, Kusuha ? Is that really you ? What the hell are you doing in that robot ?" Kouji answered in surprise.
" I don't really know... this robot seemed to call to me when I lost sight of Bullet-kun during the explosion... but I'm alright now. I don't know if I can do it, but I can help... please point me out to the weakest Mecha-Beast... you take care of the other one."
Still a bit surprised at the normally gentle Kusuha piloting an unknown robot, though he had suspected that this was the same robot that was supposed to be delivered to the Photon Power Lab, he nodded and said. " Ahhh, allright, Kusuha-san... please take care of that Doublas over there, the one that has the twin serpent head."
But before Kusuha can react, a new voice, distinctively male, cut through the chatter. " There is no need for that, I will finish it off for you both. You two focus on Skull-head over there." In front of Kusuha and Kouji's eyes, a single Federation transport landed nearby and opened its bay doors. A single GM Custom, equipped with a shield, emerged from the hangar, and shot off like lightning from the hangar, and stood nearby the Doublas, and pulled out its GM machinegun, emptying the clip that is loaded into the Doublas' body, which was riddled with bullet holes. They watched in awe as the GM drew its beam saber from its back, and then shot forward again, swiftly decapticating the Doublas' twin heads, before plunging the sword into the Doublas' body, before withdrawing as the Doublas exploded into a scrap heap.
Kouji and Kusuha was still staring in awe in the clinical finishing of the Doublas, when the same voice, a tad irritated now, reprimanded them. " Hey, are you two daydreaming ? Skully is now advancing on your position. I'll draw his fire while you two hit him and destroy him. We still have the boss to take care of." The line was cut again as they saw the GM take out its machine gun again, and fired on the Garada.
Both pilots made up their mind as Kouji focused his attention on the Garada, who was trying to retaliate at the GM, to no avail, as the machine's movement were lightning fast, and yet, its aim with its gun was deadly and precise. " MISSILE, FIRE!" He shouted as two missiles were launched at the same time Kusuha activated one of the mysterious robot's weapons. " BOOST KNUCKLE! " One of the machine's arm flew out and struck the Garada, punching through its chest and destroying it.
The mysterious male voice said ina pleased voice. " Good job, both of you... but there's no time to be celebrating or resting on your laurels yet. The big boss is coming!"
True enough, both Kouji and Kusuha turned to see the Aerial Fortress Gool rapidly making its way towards them. " Curse you Kabuto! If the Mecha-Beasts can't get rid of you, then I will do it myself!" Baron Ashura cried in fury as s/he pressed a few buttons. The Aerial Fortress, then let out aerial shockwaves and destruction beams right and left. Kouji dodged them ease , offering the ocassional taunt such as 'Where the hell are you aiming at ? ' and ' Hey, over here, over here!'. while Kusuha maneuvered her robot, which she discovered as the Grungust Mark 2, into the aerial G-Hawk mode. That alone helped her to dodge most of the attacks.
Adam smiled to himself. 'These two are great combatants, not as good as The Red Comet... but from what information that Jion on that hovercraft, its pilot, Kouji Kabuto is a seasoned combat veteran against the Mecha-Beasts... and as for the new robot, must be the new model that is deliveed by DC. Its movements are still a bit awkward, so I can tell that the pilot is a civilian... but I suspect that there is more to it.'
He then effortless controlled the GM to dodge the destruction beams and shockwaves, while reloading the GM machinegun's clip. He took aim and let out burst after burst of bullets, peppering the fortress witha hail of bullets, while Baron Ashura laughed at the incredulous but fruitless attack on the Fortress.
Kouji and Kusuha, glad that the new GM was an ally, even though they did not know the identity of the pilot. Kouji let fly with another volley of missiles, while Kusuha, after maneuvering the Ghawk into an attack vector, cried out. " EYE SOLID LASER! SPLIT MISSILE!"
Twin beams of laser shot from the G- Hawk's eyes, and twin missiles fired from each of its wings. They impacted one after another, causing moderate damage to the Aerial Fortress, which caused cursing from Baron Ashura's side.
Adam then felt that it was time. " Alright you two, it is time to take the boos down. Concentrate your best attacks on that flying behemoth... NOW!" He cried out as he activated his boosters and shot forward, dodging the bombs that the Fortress dropped in defense, and took aim and fired yet another clip of bullets to the vulnerable part of the Fortress, which was below.
Kouji followed with another volley of missiles, but the killing blow was struck by Kusuha, who cried out. " SPIRAL ATTACK!" A whirling blue light enveloped the G-Hawk in the shape of a twisting corkscrew as it shot forward, drilling against the Fortress's side, which exploded.
Baron Ashura cursed. " Curse you Kabuto! How dare you!"
" Give it up, Baron. You will never defeat me!" Kouji retorted and was surprised when the Baron Laughed. " What the hell is so funny ? "
" Mwahahahaha!!!! You may have beaten me here, but Mazinger Z is still doomed. Brocken is on his way to destroy your precious Photon Power Laboratory and Mazinger Z at the same time! HAHAHAAHAHAHAH!!!" WIth a loud triumphant cackle, the small hovercraft carrying Baron Ashura shot off into the distance.
" Damn! Kusuha- san, I'm going back to the Laboratory. I think you had better come with me as well." Kouji said.
" All right, Kouji-san... " Kusuha replied.
" Just a minute... I'm coming with you as well." THe mysterious male voice in the GM cut in.
" Thank you for your asisstance just now... but who are you ? " Kouji asked curiously.
" My name is Adam Hammond, my rank is 1st Lieutenant." The voice said crisply.
Both Kusuha and Koji gasped at hearing the name. Kouji was the first one to recover and said. " Hammond ? You don't mean Adam Hammond, the 'Killer Bee' of Jion ?"
Adam chuckled and said. " Indeed I am he. But before you pester me with questions, I suggest we head back to your laboratory, Kabuto Kouji-san. Once the crisis is over, I will be happy to answer whatever questions you might have about my presence here."
Kouji nodded and said. " Very well, I will provide you with the coordinates of the laboratory." He then transmitted the information to Adam who relayed it to the transport pilot.
Kouji and Kusuha then shot off towards the direction of the Photon Power Laboratory while Adam steered his GM back into the hangar bay of the transport vessel. Once the transport has ascended and was travelling in the same direction, he bwegan to think. " Hmm... that mysterious robot is labeled as the Grungust Mark 2, built by the DC and is supposed to be delivered to the Photon Power lab for testing. I wonder how a civilian managed to get aboard it... no matter, all these questions will be revealed as time goes along."
Secured by the though, he looked forward to their imminent arrival at the lab, as he braced himself for the imminent questions that he was sure were going to be directed his way.
