Author's Note
Actually, why don't we go somewhere completely different while I'm doing my Pokemon Shield thing?
Ryuko's group goes to some kind of space station. "Wonder what's going on in this neck of the woods..." Ryuko hummed.
"Aren't we in space?" Mako pointed out.
"I meant that as a metaphor..." Ryuko grumbled.
"I've been waiting for the seven of you." A female voice from a screen that suddenly came on declared. The source of that voice was a woman with pink hair, cat ears, twin tails, and orange glasses.
"Who the hell are you?" Ryuko asked.
"I am Professor Kokonoe. Genius scientist and head of Sector Seven Laboratories. ...Well, okay. We aren't exactly in the lab at the moment. This space station you see me in can be sorta moved in and out of the Boundary. A sort of Avalon." The woman answered.
"What's that mean?" Nonon raised a question.
"Well, simply put, it's a mysterious kind of space station. A station housing giant mecha suits." Kokonoe told, making Mako have stars in her eyes.
"Giant mecha suits!?" Mako exclaimed excitedly, getting the group interested.
"Yeah." Kokonoe nodded. "They'll be suited to how you naturally fight. So you don't have to worry about them being... cumbersome or uncomfortable."
"How do we know we can trust you?" Ryuko accused.
"To be honest, you don't. But you don't really have much of any other options, do you?" Kokonoe asked back. "If any of you are those people that are all "I don't wanna help" or "This sounds like a waste of time" or "You're way too shady"... then you can piss off."
"True, we don't think highly of you right now. However, we will do what we must in order to save this world. We will have to come in regardless." Satsuki said. "You must have some kind of reason, yes?"
"...Very well. Lost children of the day, you may enter." Kokonoe sighed before opening the hatch leading into the station.
"Still, gigantic mechanical titans requiring pilots will be certainly interesting for us to see." Hoka pointed out.
"You got that right." Nonon smiled.
"Well, I guess we'll hear her out..." Ryuko shrugged.
Space Station Sector Seven
The seven of them look around and see seven giant robots in the station. "Whoa! Those look amazing! ...Wait, why do they look the same?" Mako brought up.
"Yeah, I thought they were suited to how we naturally fight?" Ryuko hummed.
"They WILL be." Kokonoe said as she appeared. "You just need to get in them first."
"Okay~! I'll go first~!" Mako volunteered.
"Mako, wait!" Ryuko exclaimed, but Mako didn't listen before she boards one of the robots. The robot starts glowing.
Cue: Alice the Mechanic (Relayer)
The robot Mako boarded suddenly had a black and red paintjob, its appearance looking feminine with a white and blue paintjob on the middle part of the giant robot, almost as if it is imitating a sailor uniform.
Everyone, except Kokonoe, but including Mako, were amazed by how it looked by the end of its transformation. "These giant robots are custom made to fit to the way you all fight and change form to suit that way. I call these shapeless mecha... the Morphing Gundams."
"Whoa... And here I thought you were full of shit." Ryuko smirked.
"I'm still thinking YOU are." Kokonoe mocked, making Ryuko huff in confusion and mild anger. "None of you have a Keyblade. How do you expect to save this part of the galaxy from the Heartless without one?"
"So you know what our task is?" Satsuki replied.
"I do. Without a Keyblade, you have no hope of saving this part of the galaxy." Kokonoe nodded. "Regardless, you seven got here, so I suppose I'll take what I can get. If you can, be dears and test out these Morphing Gundams, would you~?"
"And where would our testing grounds be, "Professor"?" Nonon asked, mocking the "professor" portion of Kokonoe's name.
"Here." Kokonoe answered, showing a battleground with a Japanese looking building. "The Oriental Citadel."
"How do we even pilot these things?" Uzu brought up.
"True. None of us ever experienced riding a vehicle, much less a giant robot." Ira agreed.
"Didn't you drive a car once?" Ryuko raised an eyebrow towards Ira.
"That is a completely separate matter." Ira replied.
"But you said-"
"COMPLETELY! SEPARATE! MATTER!"
COMPLETELY SEPARATE MATTER
"...Oh, forget it." Ryuko gave up before going to one of the mechs.
"Everything you need to know is in your mech's respective Tutorial Button." Kokonoe explained before pushing a button that lets her communicate with Mako. "You hear that, Mako?"
Inside Mako's Mech
"Where's that?" Mako hummed in confusion, looking around at where she is. She seems to be in a black void where she is inside a sphere of glass.
"It's that button with the green and yellow diamonds placed together." Kokonoe said.
"Uh..." Mako looked around. "I still don't see it."
"...Is your foot on top of it?"
Mako looks and lifts her foot. "Oh! There it is!"
"It just HAD to be there..." Kokonoe facepalmed. "Okay, just a heads up to everyone else, every button you find is placed in a random spot when you step inside your respective mechs. It could be anywhere. Below your feet, in an inconvenient spot... ...Up your ass."
"GAH! It's up MY ass!" Hoka grunted, Nonon laughing at that.
"Just be sure to push it. Even if it's with your ass." Kokonoe ordered. Everyone does so.
"Welcome to the Gundam Tutorial. We'll make this quick so you can get to fighting other Mobile Suits." The Tutorial AI for all of the Gundams stated. "You are currently piloting..."
"The Fresh Blood Gundam."
"The Purity Gundam."
"The Fighting Club President Gundam."
"The Shackle Gundam."
"The Blade Gundam."
"The Probe Gundam."
"The Symphony Gundam." The AIs for the Gundams Ryuko, Satsuki, Mako, Ira, Uzu, Hoka, and Nonon are respectively piloting introduced.
"There are three Cockpit Types: Yours is Type A: Newtype. One of the many standard Cockpit Types, buttons, levers, and all." Ryuko, Satsuki, Uzu...
"Type B: Fighting Mimicry. This Cockpit Type makes every attack you land and get hit by feel like the real deal." Mako, Ira...
"Type C: Qubeley. This Cockpit Type encourages multitasking as this Gundam can spawn numerous drones at your beck and call. However, each drone must be controlled, otherwise one will risk them being destroyed." Hoka, and Nonon's AIs respectively described.
"Using the levers will allow your Gundam to move their limbs as well as ignite thrusters. Using the thrusters excessively, however, will cause the Gundam to overheat and restrict it to moving normally." The AIs of the Type A and C...
"The Gundam moves as you move. However, you need not worry about hitting a wall as there are treads beneath your feet." and Type B respectively stated.
"Let's try to give your Gundam, as well as yourself, an exercise. Please head to your destination now." The AIs asked of.
"The levers indicate which limb of the Gundam they move." The AIs of Ryuko, Satsuki, Uzu, Hoka, and Nonon's Gundams declared.
"Okay..." Ryuko hummed, moving one of her Gundam's legs. "All right... Easy does it..." She let out before turning the Gundam, the model being feminine and having black with red details, towards the exit. "...Hold up. Our destination is that planet over there?"
"Is that a problem? You're able to breathe in space while inside your mech suit, so don't whine about it." Kokonoe grunted.
End Song and Cue: 1:11 I Ain't Worried (Top Gun: Maverick)
Ryuko sighs and relents before inhaling deeply and going into space, her friends following close behind.
Satsuki's Gundam was feminine and had a white paintjob with blue details.
Uzu's Gundam was masculine and had a green, black, and gold paintjob.
Nonon's Gundam was feminine and had a pink and black paintjob.
Ira's Gundam was masculine and had a black, brown, tan, orange, and gold paintjob.
Hoka's Gundam was masculine and had a blue, green, grey, and black paintjob.
"You are approaching the planet of your destination. Be careful. Re-Entry can be quite rough if you are not prepared. Your Gundam can get burned up and suffer problems." The AIs warned.
"NOW you tell us." Ryuko complained.
"Wha!? So... how do we prevent that from happening!?" Mako asked.
"There are two methods: One is to use a parachute and let it take the heat. The other is through expert piloting skills. We'll focus on using a parachute." The AIs said before showing them how to do it.
"Okay, push this button, right?" Uzu asked, pushing said button. After that, his Gundam has a parachute open in front of it, breaking its fall, the others following suit.
"Whew... Okay... Time to get started, yeah?" Ryuko let out before smirking.
