A/N: I'm back with a new story, some time ago I watched all the episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans and I liked it. Then the idea for this story popped into my head but I never got around to writing it until recently. It's basically the series with my own OC added into the mix, let's see how much of the series will be changed.

Disclaimer: I do not own Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.

Falcon of Tekkadan

Chapter 1: Iron and Blood…

A nine-year-old boy with short, messy, black hair and yellow eyes was sitting on the floor of an office that was currently being shot up by armed men, he had his hands over his head and was really scared. The clothes he was wearing were covered in blood, but luckily none of it was his. The blood's owner was laying down on the ground right next to him, and he was losing more of it very quickly from being gunned down. "My son, I want you to listen to me carefully, for this may be the last time we speak." the dying man, revealed to be the boy's father, said. "First, do you remember the escape route out of this building?"

The boy was silent, but he nodded, showing his father that he knows how to get out of this mess alive.

"Good," the father coughed a bit of blood then took out a piece of paper, "take this letter and listen well. Here on Mars, there is a private security company called Chryse Guard Security, CGS. I want you to go there and give the letter to the man in charge, CGS President Maruba Arkay. I don't really like the man, but we don't have much of a choice, he will take you under his care. Now, son, I want you to always remember…"

A voice suddenly screamed out. "Kenji! Wake up you little brat!"

The boy, Kenji, woke up from getting hit in the face with a baton. He immediately sat up from his bunk, rubbing the spot where he got hit. He saw First Corps Commander Haeda Gunnel holding the baton that hit him. "Get up and meet with the others for your daily Mobile Worker training exercise. Bring Mikazuki with you while you're at it. And remember, just because you managed to earn the privilege of training with the older members of the Third Group, you're still a brat."

"I can still shoot better than you…" Kenji muttered.

"What did you just say?" Gunnel said raising his baton again.

"Go ahead and beat me up," Kenji taunted, "and we'll see what Maruba has to say about that."

Gunnel growled, then he put his baton away and walked out of the room.

"Sheesh," Kenji thought, "I've been here for a little more than a year and it's still not getting any better for us kids, I can definitely see why Father didn't like Maruba. At least I'm representing all the kids here by training with the older Third Group members in Mobile Workers. That will show those adults that kids like me shouldn't be underestimated…"

Kenji grabbed the necklace he was wearing and looked at it, it was the yin half of the yin-yang symbol. "I wonder how she's doing right now, she probably misses me, one of these days I have got to make that QCCS call to let her know that I'm okay. But not today, right now I've got to get to training. I should get Mikazuki first though, he's probably where Orga is…"

Kenji figured they would be in the engine room with those two old Mobile Suits. Maruba managed to acquire what appeared to be two Mobile Suits for their Ahab reactors as power sources for the CGS base: The first Mobile Suit was white with blue and red armor pieces and yellow horns; it was being used as the primary power generator. The second Mobile Suit was orange with red and yellow armor pieces resembling flames and a pair of bare thruster wings, it was being stored as a backup generator. Once Kenji got to the engine room, he ran into CGS' mechanic, Nady Yukinojo Kassapa or "Pops" as the Third Group likes to call him.

"Oh, hey Pops," Kenji greeted, Pops was one of the few adults Kenji actually likes, "Are Orga and Mikazuki here? Gunnel told me to get to Mobile Worker practice and to bring Mikazuki with me."

"Hey Kenji," Pops greeted back, "Yeah, they're here, Mikazuki was just waking Orga up. President wants to speak to Orga and Biscuit about something, a job I think."

"Maruba? What kind of job does he have in mind for Orga?" Kenji paused, "Actually, never mind. Thanks for the tip Pops. Hey Mikazuki! Come on, we've got to get to Mobile Worker training!"

"On my way Kenji. Later Orga." Mikazuki Augus said to Third Group leader Orga Itsuka.

"Later Mika. Go and beat Kenji No Name like you normally do." Orga said with a smirk on his face.

"I heard that Orga!" Kenji yelled to Orga, "Just because I refuse to tell you my last name doesn't mean you can get to call me 'No Name'!" For some reason, both Kenji and Maruba refuse to tell anyone at CGS what Kenji's last name is, 'security reasons' as Maruba puts it.

The two of them went to meet up with the rest of the Third Group for daily Mobile Worker training. Kenji's Mobile Worker was similar to Mikazuki's Mobile Worker, but it was orange with flames painted on both its left and right side. Mobile Worker training occurred as usual, with everyone else getting shot with paintballs leaving Kenji, Mikazuki, and CGS' Human Debris leader Akihiro Altland as the only ones left standing. Kenji has a very good aim when firing his weapons and also has a talent for dodging attacks, but he could never seem to keep up Mikazuki's timing. Eventually both he and Akihiro ended up getting shot by Mikazuki as usual.

Later, it was lunchtime. Kenji was helping the child members serve drinks to everyone else. He finally reached the table where Orga and Mikazuki were eating with Third Group members Biscuit Griffon, Eugene Sevenstark, and Norba Shino, "Dang it, you got me again Mikazuki, I was sure I had you this time…"

Mikazuki smirked, "You've gotten better Kenji, but you still have a long way to go before you can beat me."

"I keep telling you that those flames on your Mobile Worker aren't helping Kenji," Shino said, "not to mention that they look stupid."

Kenji glared at Shino, "Nowhere as stupid as that pink color…"

"It's not pink, it's magenta, get it right already Kenji!" Shino yelled. Everyone at the table laughed.

"I think Kenji already knows; he's just saying that to mess with you Shino." Eugene chuckled. Shino just muttered something to himself.

Kenji turned to Orga and Biscuit, "By the way, what did Maruba want to talk to you guys about, a job was it?"

Biscuit spoke up, "Oh, right, we were just talking about it, Kudelia Aina Bernstein handpicked the Third Group to escort her to Earth for Mars' Independence."

"Kudelia Aina Bernstein of the Independence Movement? She's an important person, I wonder who would be after her?" Kenji thought to himself, his attention was brought back to Orga speaking.

"No matter how senile old man Maruba gets, he views us as expendable, so he'll never think much of us." Kenji frowns at Orga's words and thought to himself, "It really sucks that Maruba sees the other children as expendable, I'm probably the only one he actually cares about because of the agreement between him and Father. God, even I'm doubting that."

Kenji snapped out of his thoughts seeing Mikazuki holding Eugene's ear. "A fight, Eugene? I don't like it." Kenji smiled and thought, "Classic Mikazuki."

About a day or two later, Kenji went with Orga, Biscuit, Eugene, and Mikazuki to meet with Kudelia Aina Bernstein in Maruba's office where both Maruba and Commander Gunnel were waiting. Orga started, "Orga Itsuka and 4 others from the Third Group reporting in."

Maruba turned to Kudelia, "Yes, these are the boys who will escort you… "

Kudelia got up and started to speak, "Nice to meet you. I am Kudelia Aina Bernstein."

Kenji gave a slight bow, "It is an honor and a privilege to make your acquaintance, Lady Kudelia." The other guys were surprised at Kenji's formal greeting.

Orga just went with it. "Yeah, what he said."

Eugene started to speak, "Hey there, I…"

Gunnel was angry, "Can't you four even greet someone properly like Kenji here?"

Maruba groaned, "Unbelievable, a ten-year-old boy knows how to make a proper greeting unlike the rest of you. Now about the plans for now…"

Kudelia then asked Mikazuki for his name and to show her around the base, she then extended her hand as a greeting but Mikazuki just walked out of the room. Kenji rolled his eyes at the scene and thought, "Classic Mikazuki Augus, his hands are probably dirty right now, but he doesn't just say so. No wonder the grocery worker girl Atra Mixta is having a hard time hooking up with him."

Later that night while everyone else was either sleeping, patrolling, or training, Kenji was outside holding a large wooden stick as a katana. Despite his young age, he has shown to have received some training in Samurai swordsmanship. This makes it difficult for First Corp members to 'discipline' him with their batons. Kenji was practicing basic strikes until he saw a signal flare in the sky. "Oh no," Kenji then screamed out, "Everyone wake up, we're about to be under attack!" That was when the gunfire started, Kenji ran towards his Mobile Worker and drove it outside the base to join the others.

During the battle, Kenji saw the enemy Mobile Workers and noticed their insignias. "Gjallarhorn? What are those bastards doing here? Are they here for Lady Kudelia?" Kenji snapped out of his thoughts from hearing Orga's voice from his headphones. "Mika, Kenji, and Akihiro, you guys fall back as well."

Kenji sighed and thought, "Finally some leadership. I wonder where Maruba and First Corp are?"

Later in the battle, Kenji looks at the situation and it wasn't good. "Dang it, we're being beaten senseless here, where is First Corps?"

Then he sees fellow child soldier Danji move forward in his Mobile Worker. "What are doing Danji? Hey Mikazuki, we need to help Danji!"

"Got it," replied Mikazuki. He proceeds to save Danji. "Sorry to make you wait."

Kenji arrives soon afterward, "Don't get yourself killed Danji! Now let's waste these bastards Mikazuki!"

Danji was relieved. "Mikazuki. Kenji."

Akihiro also arrives, "I won't let you two hog all the glory!"

"Yes. Mika, Kenji, and Akihiro have engaged." Orga said, "Not many can beat them in a melee. Time to show them the space rats' power. We will regroup now. Get the wounded out of there."

"But this is just buying time." Eugene said, "It's still getting worse. And where are the Main Forces, First Corps? When are they going to turn up?"

Kenji responded, "I was wondering that myself Eugene."

Biscuit's voice was heard over the radio "Orga."

"Is that you, Biscuit?" Orga said, "How is it?"

"It's as bad as we thought it was." Biscuit said, "First Corps and the president are fleeing the battlefield through the rear."

Kenji was shocked by this news. "What?" he thought, "Maruba is bailing on us? On me? Even though he and Father made an agreement in the event of his death? I'll kill that spineless bastard!"

"What are we going to do?" Eugene yelled, "I don't want to die in vain here!"

"No, you're wrong." Orga said.

Eugene was confused, "What?"

Orga smiled, "That doesn't make things right. Right, Biscuit?"

"Sure." Biscuit then detonates the signal flares hidden in First Corps truck.

Kenji sees the signal flare and smiles, "Nice one, Orga, hopefully, Gjallarhorn nails Maruba first."

"The enemy is moving." Shino said.

"I bet." Orga replied.

Eugene was really confused, "What?"

"If I'm reading the situation correctly," Orga said, "they're not going to let anyone escape." Landmines start going off. "Okay, time to fight back."

Loud explosions started appearing nearby.

Eugene spoke, "Heavy artillery? From where?"

Kenji looks forward and finds the source, "Mobile Suits? I better link up with Orga for orders." He goes towards where Orga's mobile worker is, Mikazuki is also there.

"So, what should I do next, Orga?" Mikazuki said.

"Can I help in any way?" Kenji added.

Orga smiles...

Mikazuki and Kenji returned to base after receiving Orga's orders, sometime later, the Gjallarhorn Commander's Graze is chasing Orga and Eugene down, intent on killing the Third Group leader, with another Graze by its side. Orga and Eugene stopped at a certain location, the lead Graze readies it's killing blow...

"It won't end here…" Orga said with both Grazes about to strike at his Mobile Worker.

"Right... Mika! Kenji!" As Orga yelled out their names, the ground in front of him erupted and what emerged was the two Mobile Suits from the engine room. The white horned Mobile Suit used a large mace to take out the Gjallarhorn commander's Graze with one swing, while the orange Mobile Suit with wings used a katana-like sword to stab the cockpit of the other Graze with one precise strike.

As Kenji's mobile suit retracted its sword and stood right back up next to Mikazuki's mobile suit, he thought back to his father's very last words.

"Now son, I want you to always remember: Nothing is ever given to you. If you truly want something, you need to work for it, to earn it. Now go, gather allies, people who you can trust, who you can call family, and go make a name for yourself."

"I'm fulfilling your last request Father," Kenji, with his nose bleeding, said to himself, "I now have a family, and I will make a name for myself. No, we are all going to make a name for ourselves, together!"
