Neo America:
Grant
was relaxing in his bunk at Neo America's Head Base where his
Gundam
was set. Finally the call came in. "Knight Foster here."
he
paused a moment, "Yes sir General, on my way to the
hanger." and with
that Foster took off to the hanger.
There
he saw a Four Star General named General Hoffman. He stopped, caught
his breath then saluted the General. He returned the salute then said
"At Ease Knight. Now as I am
sure you are aware and are
anxious to get to, there will be other pilots joining you . You will
be meeting at the neutral Territory in the central section of the
colonies. Meet at the central intersection.
All
traffic will be closed off for the next 72 hours. Only Gundams
are
permitted inside and the Knights." He stepped over to
Grant and extended his hand. "I am proud of you m'boy. It's good
to see someone protecting their world so to speak." he winked at
Grant and said officially, "DISMISSED! Now get in your mech and
get to the rendezvous point." Grant smiled and said "YES
SIR!"
Avian was being readied for launch. The spectacular blue plates glistened in the artificial sunlight spilling into the hangar from the windows. "Wow, there she is, Avian." Grant had piloted this Gundam a couple of times before simply to make sure everything was calibrated for him. It seemed the first time though that she was made specifically for him. He climbed the ladder and got into the cockpit. He flipped on the activation switches and loaded his communications programs and finally loaded his targeting system.
"Ground Control this is Knight Foster, ID GF-245-645-276 preparing for departure." He clicked the link over and Ground Control came back in. "You are cleared for take off." Grant came back over the line. "What sector will I be cleared for Mech mode?" Again Ground Control came over the line, "You will be cleared upon reaching Sector 45-D, it is recommended you walk through the gateway. It's a tight fit for a jet." Grant replied for the last time "Got ya. I'm on my way then. Over and out."
Grant lifted his thrusters off the docking system and slowly moved his way out of the hangar. It was time for him to have some real fun. He cleared the blast sections and ignited his thrusters. Within the blink of an eye he was out of sight. This machine handled better then he last remembered. This was going to be a lot of fun, even though he knew exactly what was at stake.
A side screen lit up showing he was cleared for Mech mode. He wasted no time in switching his jet to his full Gundam Mecha. The thrusters dropped down and separated to form feet. They kicked back just a bit to continue the forward thrust. The wings folded in and created the back paneling for his armor. The thrusters on the underside of the jet unfolded to create arms. Finally the body formed itself making minor shifts to give it a full rise. What appeared to be excess metal unfurled and linked itself together to form a tail and lastly before the chest piece linked together a head lifted up.
Grant brought the mech down and landed running. He was about 5 Miles from the door to the neutral zone. "Give me a scan on the area." He spoke to seemingly no one, yet the computer began lighting up and making calculations and started a scan. He got a small read out to the left.

"Well Avian, seems we are the first ones here." He set down and let his mecha drop to a knee. He was at least going to open the cockpit and enjoy the artificial breeze.
