There is a created character that will first be involved here. This takes place right after Endless Waltz, and this also has multiple chapters (epilogue, chapter 0, chapter 1) so that you guys may be acquianted and hope that you all understand the story a little more.
Character Description:
Joel Salamanca, by the time I'm writing this (A.C. 197), is 2nd highest-ranking officer for a military organization at the very young age of 19. He is not a very out-spoken person, but he is a considerate person and will do just about anything out of his way for you. He could become a deadly person if one does not be careful.
He has naturally pastel-brown hair and coffee brown eyes. As an officer, he always has his hair colored to a light blue shade. He stands 171 cm (5'7") and weighs about 69 kg (152 lbs.) with a muscular build.
He is very talented in performing arts (singing, dancing, piano, flute) and likes winter sports, talented in figure skating. He is also a surfer.
Out in the public, he goes by the name of "Michael Salonga", who is also a very-well known figure skater from the Southeast Asian front. With his alter-ego, he appears as his true self: pastel brown hair, casual clothes, something he's comfortable with wearing. He has used several other names with this appearance for disguise purposes.
Epilogue:
The year was After Colony 178. The Salamanca's, a royal family in the Philippine-Malaysia area, had a boy they named Joel. One year later, they had another child, a girl they named Liza. The family found themselves in eternal happiness, but it was not meant to be. In A.C. 180, The United Earth Sphere Alliance (UESA) had taken the Malaysians and Filipinos hostages. In this instance, a battle had begun between UESA and the Million-Island Military Academy (MIMA), a small militaristic organization that protects the South-east Asian front. Even though MIMA had won this battle, many homes within the Malaysia and the Philippine Archipelago were destroyed, and the Salamanca royal family was destroyed as well, with the exception of Joel and Liza. Both were orphaned at very early ages and of course separated.
At the age of 10, Joel was put under heavy and rigorous military training with the MIMA. For a youngster, he did exceptionally well. As he became older, he quickly gained the respect of the other soldiers. By the time he was 15 (A.C. 193), he has already earned the rank of "General" and had three subordinates working for him. Private Marilyn Angelo, Private Theodore Reyes, and Private Alvin Sanchez. General Salamanca was assigned to what MIMA called "Operation Astroraid". They were to retrieve information about the widely-talked about "Operation Meteor" and this is when they learn of Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, Quatre Winner, and Wufei Chang. Along these events, the three Privates were also able to smuggle in a huge amount of Gundanium to MIMA. General Salamanca and his three Privates kept everything in silence. Even with the presence of OZ and the Romefeller Foundation, General Salamanca and his three Privates kept feeding information to MIMA. Before the divide of OZ into the Romefeller Foundation and the Treize Faction, they quickly retreated and returned to the MIMA Headquarters in Manila. With this feat, the three Privates gained high-rank promotions to "Commanders" while Joel was promoted to "First Sergeant", which is the 2nd highest rank in that organization. (The only thing higher is Sergeant Major.)
Chapter 0: The Mariemeia Saga (Marimeia no banashi)
When Treize Khushrenada was killed, peace has finally been attained. But of course, this was not meant to be. Dekim Barton had gotten a hold of Mariemeia Khushrenada (daughter of Treize, to Leia Barton) and manipulated her into trying to gain control of the outer space colonies. First Sergeant Joel Salamanca suppressed the appearances of MIMA and had little or no involvement in this Saga whatsoever.
"First Sergeant, why are we just standing here doing nothing? We've gotta help the Earth Sphere United Nations and get rid of Mariemeia!" Commander Alvin Sanchez exclaimed to his superior.
"I believe that this will end soon. The Earth Sphere United Nations does not need our assistance. I believe the Earth Sphere United Nations is capable enough of stopping her and that mad-man, Dekim Barton." The calm First Sergeant responded.
"But First Sergeant --" before Commander Marilyn Angelo could finish, she was interrupted.
"But nothing, Angelo." Before continuing, Joel looked outside of the window from his office. "The Gundam pilots are aiding the Earth Sphere United Nations so this should be over in a matter of days."
"Isn't the pilot of 05 (zero-five) on the other side? He's turned against them." Commander Theodore Reyes added on.
"That's true. But I'm afraid that Wufei Chang has discovered it the hard way that Mariemeia and Dekim only want world domination. I'm sure he won't be a thing to worry about."
Joel was right. In a matter of days when this conversation took place, the battles ended, Dekim Barton was killed while Mariemeia went under the care of Middie Une (Lady Une). Peace has finally been attained.
Chapter 1: Icy World (Koori no sekai)
There have been rumors going around that someone is trying to start an organization much like OZ and the Romefeller Foundation. MIMA quickly becomes aware of this and they take necessary precautions should battles commence once again. Going about his normal duties, Joel was summoned to his superior, Sergeant Major Manuel Aquino. Joel has no idea why he was summoned, and finally enters his office.
"You summoned, sir?" Joel asked.
"Sit, Salamanca," the Sergeant Major responded. As Joel took a seat, the Sergeant Major began to speak. "Salamanca... I'm not even sure where to begin. You've been a great asset to this academy. Without you, we would have never been able to survive OZ and Dekim and whatever has been going on with those organizations. Now, you are aware that your three subordinates smuggled in thousands and thousands of gundanium, are you not?"
Joel was shocked. He didn't know that his three subordinates did that. "No, I was not, Sergeant Major."
"Come with me." Both left the office and went to the launch pad area. When they arrived, there appeared a huge mobile suit with about 80 people all over the mecha polishing it.
"WHOA!!! What is that, Sergeant Major?!!" Joel asked in complete shock. Just then, a middle-aged man came up to the both of them.
"Good afternoon there, sirs. Ain't that a beauty?" This man was referring to the huge mobile suit.
"That sure is." The Sergeant Major responded. "Well Salamanca, you remember Chief Engineer Melvin Dagum?"
"Yes. How do you do?" Joel asked.
"I'm quite alright, thanks."
Joel was left in the dark since these two knew that they were talking about. "I don't want to impose, but what is that huge mobile suit doing here?"
"I'm glad you asked, First Sergeant." Then Chief Engineer Dagum continued. "This is Gundam 07, Nevadus."
"Nevadus?" Joel asked.
"Yes. This elemental Gundam is twice as durable as the Wing Gundam Zero, and it's speed is incredible. It has an Icestrike Staff as well as other weapons that shoot out ice. This Gundam pretty much has advantage over the original five. This Gundam can also take two other passengers so it has a lot of room for people, and also for strategy. You know what they say: 'three heads are better than one'. "
As Joel listened, he was completely shocked. There was this Gundam that the MIMA had constructed and... he was just blown away.
"I have a request, Salamanca." The very direct Sergeant Major told Joel.
"Yes?"
"We will need a pilot for this Gundam. I was wondering --"
"Yes, sir!! I will be the pilot for the Gundam." After seeing what the original Gundams could do and their capabilities, Joel had longed to become a Gundam pilot. He immediately took the cable that takes the pilot to the cockpit and sat inside. "It's very cold in here. Is this normal for this Gundam?" Joel wondered, being heard from inside the Gundam.
"Yes, First Sergeant. Your mobile suit will work best in icy conditions since it's the only Gundam made with the element of ice." The Chief Engineer and the Sergeant Major looked at each other and gave looks of approval. Just then, one of Joel's subordinates came over with some uninviting information.
"Sir, we're receiving distress signals from a Leo Mobile Suit." This was Commander Theodore Reyes.
"Distress signals?!" Sergeant Major was shocked. Joel immediately came out of the mobile suit and all three men ran to central control where the signal was received.
"Here's a visual." With Commander Reyes and a push of a button, a Leo mobile suit is being attacked by some unknown mobile suits that looked a lot like Mobile Dolls that were used a few years ago. "The exact coordinates of the battle are 46º north latitude and 11º east longitude, sir."
"The Italian Western Front... Mobile Dolls... Just as what I had expected." Sergeant Major commented.
"Huh?! What do you mean, Sergeant Major?!" Joel immediately asked.
"There's no time to ponder that, Salamanca." Sergeant Major said. "Why don't you take 07 out for a test drive? At the same time, you will be helping the Leo that's being attacked.
"But, is it necessary? We will be fabricating peace here on earth. Is it really worth the risk?" Joel was confused.
"Not necessarily, Salamanca. If you get the job done quickly enough, then they won't notice a thing about 07. Now go. You do not have much time."
Sunset had hit and Joel immediately took off for the Italian Western Front. As he got to the battlefield, the Leo was being attacked by some 40 Mobile Dolls. At this point, there was no power remaining for the Leo. Then, he communicated with all the Mobile Suits on-site and gave an announcement. "Mobile Dolls, if you do not drop your weapons now, you will experience death." None of the Mobile Dolls moved. "Alright. Have it your way." 07 took out the Icestrike Staff and threw it like a boomerang, hitting some 20+ mobile suits. This quickly made the fight easy for him. From the other end of the communication, a male soldier began to speak.
--What the... what is that?!?! And how'd that it get rid of half of the dolls at once?!-- He sounded very horrified.
With one blast from his Nevadium Beam Gun, 07 destroyed rest of the Mobile Dolls and there laid a demolished Leo. Joel tried to communicate with the pilot. "Pilot of the Leo, do you copy?" Joel received no response. "Do you read me?" Again, there was no response. It seemed as if the pilot was unconscious. 07 hauled the Leo to the Malaysia Archipelago so that he may further examine it. As soon as 07 put the Leo down, Joel got out and tried going inside the Leo itself. One click of a button opened the cockpit of the Leo when who he should see inside the Mobile Suit is someone very familiar to him.
"Quatre Raberba Winner?!?!" To his utter surprise, Joel got the unconscious but breathing Quatre out of the Leo and took him inside his home as dusk darkened the scene.
It was finally morning and Joel was up already. He was cooking some breakfast. In a bedroom, there laid an injured Quatre. Joel went over to the guest room of his house to check out if Quatre was awake and sure enough, he was. Quatre was still suffering from his injuries but he seemed to be fine.
"Huh? Where am I?" Quatre asked while he awakened.
"Oh, you're awake. We're at my home in the Malaysia Archipelago, Quatre." Joel casually responded.
A shocked Quatre immediately asked, "How did you know my name? What's yours?"
"I'm sorry for being rude. My name is Joel Salamanca. First Sergeant of the Million-Island Military Academy."
Quatre acted a bit hysterical. "What happened? How did you rescue me?"
"Don't worry, Quatre. What's important is that you're alive and no casualties occurred."
Hearing that from Joel relieved Quatre. For some reason, Quatre felt that he could trust this guy. "I'm sorry, Joel. I should be thanking you."
"Thanking me? For what?"
"Saving my life."
"Oh no. It was nothing. Oh and uh... I'd like to show you something."
"Huh?" Quatre wondered what it could be.
"Come with me. I wanna show you what aided me in saving yourself." Joel led Quatre outside and showed him a newly built Gundam. "Quatre, this is my Gundam. Code 07, Nevadus."
"You're a Gundam pilot?"
"Yes. I was asked by my superior to pilot this Gundam, and I couldn't refuse. They finished building it a few days ago." As Joel and Quatre interacted, they found that they could trust each other, and we're already becoming close friends. "I just have one question, Quatre."
"What is it, Joel?"
"What's a Preventor like you doing in a Mobile Suit? Are you not trying to prevent wars from occurring?"
"Our organization was attacked. We've kept what was left of the Leo Mobile Suits for safe-keeping. When we were attacked, I was the only one they had depended upon so I fought. I just hope these are minor rebels trying to fabricate peace. But... how did you know I worked for the Preventors?"
"If you don't mind, please come with me. I'd like to show you a place where they respect the former Gundam pilots." Joel and Quatre went inside 07 and took off for the MIMA.
