Chapter 1: The Ultimate Gundam
"Muteki...you said you would never leave me," a voice rang in his ears. "Hey, I think he's waking up!" a voice came shortly after. He forced his eyes open and gazed around him, the first voice had apparently not been real, because it was that of a woman and standing over him was a man. He forced himself up, and immediately noticed the sword he had been carrying was missing. "What the-----" he said just before he saw it resting on the table. He stood up and walked over to it. "Aren't you even going to thank me?" asked the man without turning. Muteki didn't turn either, "Hmph, I didn't ask for your help. It was your choice to save me." His rescuer was taken aback by this. 'Heh, this kid's a real piece of work.' Thought the man.
"Say, kid, why is it you have a sword like that anyway? Most people your age wouldn't be trusted with a plastic short sword. That one is a real beauty," he asked of Muteki. "If you must know, it's a memento of my father's. He trained me to use it for the first time when I was four, you needn't worry about me lopping your head off. Unless you provoke me, that is," was his casual response. 'Four years old? He must be pretty damn good by now, and he's young. There is much room for improvement. Perhaps.this is the person we've been looking for, ' pondered the man.
"Anyway, what's your name kid?" he asked. "The name's Muteki," he responded shortly as he placed the sheathed sword back around his waist, fastened by a rope slung over his opposite shoulder. "My name is Gyoutou. I have a proposition for you that you might find interesting," Gyoutou responded hastily. "Oh?" was Muteki's curious response. Gyoutou nodded and motioned for him to follow as he turned and exited the house out into the street.
Muteki followed suit, but as soon as he stepped out he was shrouded in fog once again. He lost sight of Gyoutou, but he felt that presence return. "It's all your fault..." came a voice from behind him. He turned quickly and unsheathed his sword. It was a girl not much younger than him, but the fog surrounded her, then she disappeared completely along with the fog.
"Some thing wrong?" came Gyoutou's voice from not three feet ahead of him. Muteki turned in shock, how could he not have seen him? He regained his composure and responded a bit too quickly, "No." Gyoutou shrugged and continued forward.
They soon reached a large building. As Muteki gawked at it's size and it's intricate design he started walking past it. "Where are you going? This is where I'm taking you," called out Gyoutou. Muteki seemed to be shocked that they were entering such a place. He didn't respond, but he followed. "Good morning, sir!" said the two guards at the door. They stopped Muteki as he followed. "Excuse me, kid. Don't you have somewhere else to go play?" said the larger of the two guards. Muteki's face filled with rage and he immediately opted to teach him a lesson for speaking down to him like that, but he thought better of it. "He's with me, let him through," said Gyoutou. The guards just stared and shuffled to the side as Muteki brushed past them with a wide smirk.
Gyoutou opened a door and went walked down a long set of stairs, they were in total darkness yet Gyoutou didn't slow down or stumble at all. Muteki puzzled about this for a second as he carefully followed. Suddenly, the lights came on and Gyoutou stopped at the center of a catwalk. A large portion of the direction he was looking in was still darkened. Muteki came to his side, and peered out at what seemed to be a large structure; however, it was human shaped. Muteki wasn't confused much longer, the lights finally kicked in at that distance and what Muteki saw would have unhinged any normal kid his age's jaw in surprise. It was a gundam, and a rather menacing one at that.
"You see, we are but a small country. Not a man in the world knows even the name of it. Do you know why?" asked Gyoutou. Muteki shook his head. "We lack even a representative to the human race's most brilliant form of entertainment and competition. The Gundam Fights, added Gyoutou. "And this affects me.how?" responded Muteki. "You hold promise, Muteki. I want to know if you would like to train to be the representative of Neo Gyanna. Think about this for a second, you will use that gundam, possibly the most advanced one ever made," Gyoutou said hopefully. Muteki pondered for all of five seconds before a wide grin came to his face. "I'll do it!" said Muteki. Gyouto's eyes lit up, "Great! You will live here, and your training starts tomorrow at six a.m." Gyoutou said and showed him to his room.
Muteki slept well that night, at least for a while; however, soon he was once again visited by that same dream, except the speaker was visible. It was that same girl he had seen earlier. He woke up, but he was not frightened. He sat up slowly and pondered, what could this all mean?
He pondered this for a couple hours until he noticed the time was five a.m., it was time for him to get ready for his first day of training. He took his shower and was about to throw on his customary clothing, when he noticed laid out on the table was a white shirt with a new jacket. One that had to burning wings on the back of it. He put this on instead, it also came with a cape that he wrapped over his clothing. He headed out at 5:45 to the lobby.
There he saw Gyoutou. "Ah, I see you have found the clothing we arranged for you. Good, now we're ready for your first day, but be aware. This will not be easy, you will work harder than you ever have, you will work past your breaking point and constantly strive to further understand the gundam and increase your abilities," said Gyoutou. "That suits me just fine, I'll do my best to repay the your country's kindness to me," was Muteki's unusually polite response.
As they made their way to the gundam garage Muteki got curious. "Why did you choose me to be your representative?" he asked inquisitively. "This gundam is truly special. It utilizes a new technique, it can copy the special techniques of other fighters and you can use them for yourself; however, to use this effectively it requires a very good mind and a calm and collected approach to it. You strike me as a very laid back person, but that's not the point. It's true power lies in a large brilliantly crafted sword, and there is no one of particularly good skill with the sword here," explained Gyoutou. "How do you know I am? You've never seen me use it," responded Muteki. "Let's say I have a knack for this stuff," Gyoutou told him.
"First, it's important to understand how the gundam works. The system is directly linked to your body, allowing a whole new level of maneuverability and fighting technique. You control it with your movements; however, there is also a side effect to this. As your gundam is damaged so are you, when your gundam is hit you are as well," Gyoutou told Muteki as he looked up at the gundam. Muteki nodded and looked up as well. "This gundam is the Expert Gundam, it is by far the most technologically advanced of it's kind. We are currently working on an even greater version of it, but for now this should do," added Gyoutou.
Muteki looked the gundam over. It was a white gundam, with large black wings. The wings were black, but that wasn't the most notable thing about them. They looked like real wings, they were so expertly crafted that the metal was shaped into feathers. The gundam had the typical gundam head and body. It's chest plate clearly was able to swing open. Gyoutou noticed him look at that and explained, "Inside the chest is how the gundam stores the data of techniques. It uses an extremely complicated technology to even create solid pieces needed to use copied techniques out of data. It has only one disadvantage, the opponent must use the attack and you must activate the copying ability while they do it. This will leave you open for some serious damage if you're not careful."
Muteki now saw the gigantic sword at it's side. It was not a plasma blade as most were, it was a typical iron one, but around the edges it seemed to glow with power. Along the middle were large Kanji symbols that were glowing. That was quite a sword. Muteki knew he was going to like this gundam.
That concludes the first chapter of my story. Nothing has really happened yet, but this is mainly for background. Drop me some reviews. Want me to continue it? Want me to get shot for such a terrible story? Doesn't matter which, just give me your input. The next chapter should be up in at the most two days.
