I was so absorbed into the fascinating technology of this robot once I set my eyes inside the pilot's seat. In this present day, there wouldn't be any way of making something such as this. Here in Japan there were definitely robots around here but not such as this one. Nothing could compare to the massive size in this world. I jumped into the cushioned seat and all around me were all kinds of maneuvers. Pressing a couple of buttons daringly, the screen lit up all of a sudden, giving such a startle. On the screen, it revealed a word in huge capital letters and numbers.

ZGMF-1017 GINN was what had showed up on the medium sized screen. Guessing by that, it could be robot's name. The pilot wouldn't have such a complicated name after all. I could hear a faint sound of the engine running. It wouldn't have made sense. This robot had gotten shot down and judging by the beam, it would need some repairs. The heat from that beam was enough to make me sweat from a couple of yards away. Placing my fingers on the screen, I must've activated a browser full of different selections. Right now, there was a circle with multiple colored bars. There were four yellow bars at the front and red was all the way at the end. "I think that's a gauge for power?" All machines had a limit on how long it could be run.

There was a flickering light in the corner with capital letters in English. Let's see, now what did that say? Low on ammo? It was best not to mess with some buttons to ensure I didn't accidently shoot something. It was impossible with the mechanism lying on the ground or more like my expensive car….It would be a better idea to ask questions to that guy found in this machine and threaten him if he didn't answer but there was no time. Already, there could be heard sirens from a distance. It would've been better if they got the military but there was the war to be worried about.

Things like this lived in fantasies and unrealities. It was because the pollution would be too much. I was already gagging on all the dust in the air and this battle didn't last more than an hour or so. If anyone got a hold of this machine and used it for any purpose at all, Earth would be corrupt. It definitely would. Now after thinking about this, the robot came to my mind as something I've seen before. Let's see….now where was it?

:Flashback:

The streets were crowded with the population of Japanese having a splendid time at the shopping district. Considering I was flat broke, there was no reason for me to be here except to browse. There was also a friend's little brother's birthday coming up. I had to get a better pay from a better job or this wouldn't work out. Scanning the glass windows showing their best products behind them, I spotted the toy store. There were posters scattered all over the walls and there was a rainbow in there. Toys weren't that expensive were they? I took a peek into the brightly lit store with tons of shelf rows full of a variety of toys just waiting to be bought.

Now that I think about it, my friend had said his little brother loved gigantic robots. There was no way to afford something like that but I understood. Robots were amazing mechanical creations humankind could make for many reasons. Now if they made ones you could operate inside of and move, then that would be great. I could remember myself watching those TV shows with a whole bunch of heroes piloting robots and fighting the villains as a kid. That was only for two years until I lost the cable connection. When there was the robot aisle, I zoomed past the rest of the toys and gazed at them all. Gundam was a popular series with more than just one robot. There were mobile suits, and then there were special ones called Gundam. I had never watched the series except for the first one with a Gundam actually called Gundam. There were a lot more unique toys from the new series called Gundam Seed. It would be a kid's dream to obtain one of these. Unfortunately it was over thirty dollars. There was also this other one, not a Gundam but a mobile suit. Green in color with the box informing me it was the unit: ZGMF-1017 GINN, it was great as well. It happened to be a bit cheaper by around ten dollars. When I got my pay check, I'd definitely get it for his birthday.

:Flashback over:

"Okay, I'm guessing a crazed fan developed this or something. Those beams must've just been heat waves with light." Even that did not make sense but what else could be said about this GINN? But if they were to do that much damage to the roof, then how did this person get such burning heat?

"Don't touch my GINN!" The guy scolded at the top of his lungs at me, his teeth clenched tightly. His day probably wasn't going good for him either.

It was time to go greet him. I exited the cockpit and ran over to the tied up young man. Just for looking around at his machine, he was already fuming. There were crazed fans these days. Once I earned more, I should go see if I could buy the series.

"It isn't a toy you should be messing with!" The man growled, his teeth revealed. "I understand it's a weapon of destruction from that battle you had. Even if you didn't say that, I wouldn't have thought of it as a toy."

"Hmph would you really? I see the gaze of a curious child in your eyes." He taunted, his anger reverting to an insulting attitude. "If you figured how to operate it, you'd probably be the cause of your own death once the enemy spots you."

"What do you mean by enemy? War is far from here…well unless we're talking about that tiny ship thing and your GINN."

"Don't act like you don't know. There's a war against coordinators and naturals. Are you a natural?"

"Umm…I'm no coordinator…what's a natural?" If I remember correctly, a coordinator was a person who makes sure everything goes accordingly, preferably in work. My job was nothing like that.

"If you're no coordinator then you're a natural aren't you?" The guy ripped the ropes somehow. I couldn't believe this guy. He could get out of chains and ropes so easily?

By the time I had realized, I couldn't move. There was a switchblade directly beneath my chin at my neck and my arms were knotted behind my back. I would've fallen if whoever that stranger was wasn't behind me but he wasn't a friend. "I'll kill you instantly." The knife was so up close, one movement or mistake would cause a puncture to my neck and instant blood rivers.

"But I don't even know what the heck you're talking about! What is a natural? This must be the curse my parents inherited from generations! Just what on Earth is going on around here?

The guy only stared at me strangely but of course I couldn't see it from where I was. He shoved me to the ground. I lied sideways in pain from the sudden collision, grasping my head which had first crashed down onto this cement. He only gave a sadistic smirk but nothing else happened then. "I would expect a guy like you to know what coordinators and what naturals are at least….The Bloody Valentine War was not so long ago."

"Bloody Valentine War….is that some sort of movie?"

"Just as I thought, this guy is an idiot."

"Hey, don't expect me to know anything whatsoever….this is the first time I've heard of those words in whatever definition you have." The pain struck me and I stayed on the floor. What a weakling I was but what else could be done? I swore my words were becoming slurred in speech because the "scandalous man" I may call him gave weird stares or didn't reply for a couple of times.

"I guess you're just one of those clueless civilians stuck in their house all day. But after seeing all this, I cannot let you go easily….now what should I do?"

I forced myself to crawl while he was in deep thought. This robot…I see it is not too far away. If I could just make my way to it and run far from this crazy guy and also report him for violence then this would be all set. Just my luck, he noticed what I was doing and pulled me away from the robot. "I almost let you get over to my GINN. Don't even try. With a mind such as yours cannot even comprehend the functions of the mobile suit."

"It's worth a shot…"

The sirens were just around the corner. I could hear them coming closer and closer. This man was too busy with the conversations he hadn't thought of the future events. Because leaving me here would result in the secrets all exposed, he got me up and shoved me into the cockpit in which there was only one seat. I was behind that seat in the back, wincing in pain. The guy in green pressed a button, the cockpit shutting. I could hear the rapid button smashing as he typed away on a keyboard, flipped switches and pulled on some other maneuvers. The GINN had soon become mobile. I could feel the shakes and vibrations as the robot got up from its place and even better my car. The sirens were up close, I could tell by how close the sirens sounded. With one single button, I could feel my whole body pressed against the wall. This could only mean there was a huge gravitational pull.

"Are we flying?"

There was no answer to the question. All I did was lay there while being pushed around my gravity. One minute I'm glued to the wall and the other time I am clung to the seat. The force was so strong. I could hear from under the guy's breath he was immediately lost.

"Where is everybody…" He whispered.

"What do you mean?"

"Since you're in on it now…my companions of ZAFT. I'm a soldier making my way up to serve."

"Here I thought you were some criminal or something….or even an otaku of some sort. Just what is ZAFT?"

"You haven't heard of it? Have you been living under a rock?"

"You could sort of say that…." The top floor of the house was poorly built and cold. I would always prefer to sleep in the garden where there were rocks."

"Zodiac Alliance of Freedom, have you heard of that?"

"How should I know what a Zodiac All- whatever is?" Under his helmet he must've been irritated by my casual remarks to him. They were the honest truth. Maybe I was dreaming and just had to wake up. But this pain was ridiculous. No dream was that realistic.

"I can't communicated with any of them….I was fighting that mobile armor and then suddenly I guess I crashed into another colony somehow….hey which colony is this?"

"If you mean by colony do you mean country?

"No, not that I mean something like….a space colony."

"Space colony? We haven't invented those yet… Do you mean you've been on one before like in some video game?"

"Quit kidding me! Do you honestly want to die right now? I can shove you out of this mobile suit into the sea where no one will find you!"

"That's overkill. I'll be eaten by sharks with my luck before I even drown to death."

"Then answer these questions like I ask of you to!"

"I am answering these questions!"

"You're not answering properly!"

"Then why the heck are you asking me for when you should be focusing on where you're flying?"

CRASH!

The whole mobile suit shook as it collided with the mountainside. I was flung into the wall again, being in for another bruise. Even with that at such a speed, the GINN was still functional but the soldier in green merely kept his eyes focused and kept quiet for several minutes. "Okay, let's calm down first with introductions."

"Kaine Sato."

"Landon Walford."

"Okay…now what?"

"I will ask you again. What space colony are we on?" His fingers were tapping on the surface of the controls, away from the colorful buttons.

"We're on Earth, in Japan."

"Earth…? But how could that be Earth?"

"Why is that? Earth's the only place in which humans exist is it not?"

"I didn't think Earth was close in the direction I was going. That's weird….but wait you said there's only humans on Earth?"

"No one has discovered a way to live out in space yet. Why do you think you're confusing me with those questions of yours? Could you be from the future?"

"Don't ask me. I don't know where I am. I'm MIA and need to report as fast as possible. Do you have any clues?

Landon happened to be a decent friend if he wasn't purposely attacking you with words, yelling all sorts of weird things like some strict official. Now that I think about that flashback, a GINN was a toy. I've never seen a real one up close because it was from the series Gundam Seed, an anime I never came to buy the DVD of. Maybe if I had everything would make complete sense. Yet then again, this guy didn't seem to be from around here. The future could never hold these due to the gravity. Even now, this robot wasn't flying too high. It was scraping against the water. The pull was too great even for this magnificent technology.

"It has never done this before…am I running out of energy…wait it's still in the yellow bars it should fly higher…"

"It's the gravitational pull."

"I've piloted on Earth before. The gravitational pull wasn't this great." He clenched his teeth as he tried to steer his GINN away from the mountains of Mount Fuji and race. "I can't even get to space like this…"

"Are you perhaps familiar with the term, Gundam Seed or 21st century?"

"No, but I believe 21st century was a while back before I was even around."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Could he really have been from the future or is this just a complicated dream from a coma after getting slammed by hundreds of apples at the market? That sounded less likely. "The 21st century is now if you haven't noticed. Earth is less advanced if you were looking downwards….besides that, I think you'll be in trouble very soon."

"And why is that?" Landon asked with his eyebrow raised.

"In this world, what you're piloting is only a science fiction creation. No one has made such a thing here with the lack of knowledge. The military will be after you soon enough and more wars and conflicts will begin due to this machine of yours. Other countries might assume that we've made weapons for preparation of a war."

I could already tell, this wasn't going to be good at all…..
