Gundam Wing

(a/n: just incase anyone was wondering. Here is a little more information on the Pilot known as Nova Hunter. I gotta keep him a mystery for the sake of plot, but this'll give you some clues to his past.)

Gundam Wing

-Shattered Peace-

"The Dark Mercenary"

The L-4 colony Industrial district. All is quiet as space around the Doppler Inc. Warehouse. That is, until an explosion rocks the surrounding area. Windows are blown out, walls just cease to be, and a lone figure dashes from the flames. "Well that's one more shipment of arms that won't be reaching the streets." Says the masked figure in a distorted voice. He stands still for a moment, light from the fire glistens off his metallic armor; perhaps he stood a moment too long. (BOOOMM!) A grenade shell detonates a yard to his left. "Fool! Stand down and surrender! You are trapped, there will be no escape for you this time, Nova Hunter!" through the smoke walks a large man, a very large man.

Nova just shrugs and says, "Oh really Cutter? Who's gonna stop me, you? Have you forgotten what happened last time you challenged me?" Cutter instinctively clutches his right hand; it is a mechanical replacement for the one he lost on the night in question. "I have grown stronger since then, and will now terminate you. You have just destroyed a crucial part in our plans." Mutters Cutter in a low, rough voice. "THAT'S THE POINT! Now tell me who is behind this and I may let you return to them in one piece!!" shouts Nova, his voice filter unable to hide his rage. "NEVER! Now hand over the Starscream to me." Demanded Cutter, who was getting agitated. "You can have my sword when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers!" declares Nova, meaning every word. Cutter thought for a moment. "Hmm… your proposal is acceptable." And beneath his mask, Nova could only smile…

Cutter charged, smashing into Nova with the force of a small truck. "Ohff!" Oh man! He dented my armor! "That's it bobo! Playtime's OVER!" said Nova as he recovered from the blow. Cutter charged again, putting his mechanical hand in front of him. Oh no you don't! thought Nova. He quickly took aim and pressed a small button on his right gauntlet. (Thawap!) A small bola wire fires from a secret compartment and wraps around Cutters legs, dropping him face first into the ground. "ARRGGHH!! Curse you! You, you…" sputters Cutter as he tries in vain to stand. Nova can't help but laugh, but he catches himself and stops suddenly. "Now you will tell me who has been supplying the local gangs with those weapons!" "No Nova, now you will DIE!!" shouts Cutter drawing his hidden pulse rifle. Nova reacts with lightning speed; he pulls his sword, the Starscream, out from its sheath on his back and swings it toward the incoming shot. The blade is grafted from Earth Gundanium and easily returns the blast of energy back to its sender. "AAAHHHH!!!!" Cutter's gun explodes in his hand, flash-frying him instantly. "NO!! You Fool! Cutter you idiot, you were my last lead! Now how am I ever going to get to the bottom of this!" screams Nova into the now silent night. "klaw…..k..k..kalw…….." gasps Cutter with his last breath. "What the heck does that mean?!?" wonders Nova Hunter aloud. "Perhaps I may be able to help." Says a voice from the shadows. "Who's there! Show yourself!" challenges Nova, resuming his battle stance. "I shall reveal my identity when the time is right. Until then, catch!" A small card flies through the air towards the masked warrior. Nova grabs and examines it, In bold letters one word appears: RENEGADES. Below is an address. "What's this?" He asks. "It's the mission of a lifetime, the chance to really get back at the cause of your torment. It is an offer you cannot refuse. I'll see you in one week, If you're up to it, Odin." Says the hidden entity. "Mission….Accepted." says Nova.

The beginning…
