Introduction
Who among us decide history? Giant Mobile Suits and Starfighters carrying mammoth-firepower weapons of destruction, Starfleets that level planets in a matter of minutes, People with enough power to reduce entire worlds--even solar systems to ashes in the blink of an eye and single person super-powers that command the legions of an unstoppable army... A tale of love, betrayal, and battle (all with some comedy thrown into the mix) unfolds behind the backdrop of a time where a handful of people can change the fate of the Galaxy and armies wage war to bring about their own peace. The endless battle rages on...
Chapter 1: A Not So Average Day
A cool autumn breeze blew through the trees of Zelda High School (named after a Princess of legend.) The sun shone brightly in the clear blue sky as birds sang beneath it. However, the normal curriculum has been halted in favor of a new student's arrival. How important can one student be? Could there be even more to meets the eye? I hope so, or this will be one uneventful story.
"Everyone! Everyone, calm down!" Yells Miss Haruna to the crowd of kids talking amongst themselves and creating quite a raucous. She was glad to have moved her career to a higher level by accepting the position of head of the Foreign Language department of the school. It paid better than her old job, but she had the sneaking suspicion a few of her old students from her first job at Crossroads Junior High had made their way to this very school on purpose. She dismissed the thought for later as the students quieted themselves. "We have a new student from America. Please welcome (she reads the card in her hand) James McCloud!"
The students remain quiet as a boy in standard uniform with the exception of a broad rimmed hat, a dark brown fedora to be exact that covers his eyes. He keeps his backpack over one of his shoulders and steps up next to the podium where his posture remains at attention like a soldier in the military. As Miss H continues talking about making him feel welcome and how he has a different culture that we must respect etc., a certain girl with long blonde ponytails and blue eyes laughs while listening to her walkman and eating a Hostess cupcake.
"WOW! These people have PROBLEMS! He he he HAHAHAHAHAHA!" says Serena while the assembly continues regardless.
"Shhhhhh! Jeez Serena, do you always have to be so rude? You need to pay attention!" says Ann, to stop Serena's non-stop disruptive laughter. "Sometimes I wonder why I stayed on this planet. But I guess it was good I did, no way YOU could have taken care of those heart-snatchers all by yourself, even with the other scouts helping!"
Serena pouts and responds with a "Hmph! Watch the assembly!" and that was that. Ann smirks and looks back to the podium. Miss Haruna had finished talking and dismissed the assembly to class.
Miss Haruna leads James to his foreign language class that she coincidentally teaches. Haruna occasionally glances at the youth and acts as if she is about to say something, but hesitates and stops. The vacant halls they pass through gives an uneasy quiet for her, even though the very idea of the entire body of students had made their way into their first classes without hesitation should have made her swell with pride. However, just walking beside this, well, she didn't want to say intimidating' student, but in any case, disabled her ability to correct him. As they walk, she gathers her bearings and becomes determined to uphold her disciplinary rights. She stops, turns to James and says, "Excuse me Mr. McCloud, but that hat is not school uniform. Please remove it this instant!"
The footsteps of the teen echoes through the empty corridors as he keeps walking. He brings his pace to a halt to address the teacher. James remains looking forward and calmly says, "No. This hat was a gift from a friend of mine, and it is a part of my identity. I'm sure you could overlook one student with his reasons to wear a hat."
Miss Haruna put her hands on her hips, still empowered by her status over her new student. "Oh really? Well how about I just let everyone wear whatever they want?"
James quickly replies in his same calm, reserved tone. "I didn't say that. I'm only asking that you allow me to wear my hat."
Miss Haruna looks frustrated, but gives in after a long moment. "Hmmmm...ok, fine. But if it causes a problem, it's gone!"
"Heh heh, I'll try not to let it maim anyone." Mumbles James to himself.
In the short time it took for this to happen, we make it to class.
James walks into the room of noisy students followed by Miss Haruna. Miss Haruna looks at the class with an evil eye and tells them in a not so nice voice to sit down. The students follow their order and sit with a, "Yes Miss H."
Miss Haruna growls at the hint fake obedience, then points to James' seat. "There is your desk, between Ann and Serena in the back."
James walks over to his seat and sits quietly. As the lesson begins, James pays attention to the lesson and writes notes. Serena is already getting bored.
"Hey, your name's James right? I'm Serena, and it's nice to meetcha!" opens Serena to James, who pays no attention to her. Serena gets a look of disappointment, and then lays her head on her desk, thinking of some icebreaker so he can warm up to her. "Ohhhh, why couldn't it be Saturday? At least Friday! Another week at this torture chamber and I'll go ballistic! Don't you feel the same way? Hmmm?"
James keeps his attention on his work, but mumbles somewhat inaudibly the word "idiot" and pays her no more of his time. Ann, witness to what just happened, thinks to herself, "I guess he's not the talkative type..."
The day went on, and it was soon lunch. James is walking down the hall when he sees a girl with brown hair in a ponytail struggling with her books in her locker, which had fallen out and onto the floor. She started picking them up when she saw James walk up to her.
"Let me help you." and so James continued to start helping with her books. "My name is James, I'm new at this school." says James. The girl just looks at him and smiles.
"Thanks for the help James! I'm Lita." James places the last of the books in the locker. After he checks the linoleum tile for anything he may have missed, her clears his throat with a forced cough. "Nice to meet you Lita. Well, I best be on my way."
"Wait, do you think I'm gonna have you help me and just thank you with, well, a thanks? I have some extra food in my lunch, we can share. I always share food with my friends!" Lita gives him her biggest smile to show to some extent her gratitude from a potential new friend.
"No, thank you. I'm not too hungry." And so James quickly left Lita, with a tip of his hat as to not be rude.

"Hey guys! Did you check out the new kid?" says Lita, sitting down by Ann and Serena under a nice shady tree.
Serena, with her face stuffed, turns her head and manages to get out, "Ron't efen remind fe!" she swallows her food and says again, "Don't even remind me! He is so cold, and, and, icy. To think, I have to sit near that guy!"
Ann gets that oh so famous anime vein. "Serena, do you have to be so stupid sometimes? It's like you do it on purpose!"
Lita mumbles to herself, "But at least she doesn't talk too much..."
Ann continues, "he is probably just the quiet type, he doesn't want to get too involved. AND I HEARD THAT LITA!" Ann throws some of her food at Lita, who only laughs and throws some back. The group breaks into laughter and resume talking. Meanwhile, Ami reads while walking along the trees on campus and nearly trips over something. She looks down and sees a boy with a hat reading the same book as she, sitting at the base of the tree. The boy looks up and stands.
"Sorry, I didn't see you coming. I'm McCloud, James McCloud." Said James with a smirk under his dark Indiana Jones style hat.
"Oh, it's perfectly fine. I really should watch where I am going. I see you are reading the same book as I." responded Ami, who at first didn't look directly at him.
"Oh, (he gives his book a quick glance) yes well it IS a good book. The chances of two people reading it are far from impossible." James keeps his tone of voice cool and as friendly as he could make it, despite the fact it was naturally a tad low if he wasn't exited and what not. Er, back to the scene
"Oh, yes. I think the chances are around 27.5% among the higher educated students." says Ami, unintentionally showing her knowledge. She immediately blushes.
"Heh heh, I see you are fairly smart. Nice to meet you, uh..."
"A-Ami...Ami Mizuno." she says shakily as she extends her hand, her nervousness infecting her actions. James takes her hands in his and shakes.
To try to ease her up a bit, James uses a lighter, friendlier voice. "Nice to meet you Ami. (the bell rings) Oh blast it all, we should get going to class! It's a shame we couldn't have had a longer introduction, but I guess I'll just have to see you around Ami!"
She smiles as James' attempt to relax her before she became too edgy works. She stifles a giggle and exclaims "You too James!" as they then both run to their classes.

The day had ended. Everyone was on their way home from a long (to them) day of school. Serena, Lita, Ami, and Ann walk together, talking as friends do. Well, as some friends dolong story, lacking too much point to mention further, but hey! I'm just a narrator!
Serena stretches her arms out and says, "So guys, we're gonna meet up with the others at Rei's?"
Lita responds, "Yup! And I have some cookies I can share with her cute guests!" After she says this she gets a "I have something planned" look.
Ami just sighs and says, "AND we are going to study..." Had to throw that in
Lita just puts on a look of tense reassurance and assures her, "Heh heh...Don't worry, that too. Hey Ann, you coming?"
Ann waves her hands in front of her. "Oooooh no! I really don't want to go their now. I have to do some cleaning in my apartment, and ever since Alan disappeared I have my work cut out for me."
Serena's voice keeps its sweet tone. "All right, see you later Ann!" The group waves to Ann as she waves back and runs toward her house. Serena hums and walks with big steps the rest of the way to Rei's place.

A giant subterranean room comes into view, filled with active computer screens with metallic monsters that have human-like bodies (wearing metal military uniform and a metallic version of a thick brimmed hat) with the heads of canines atop their normal build. Each of these metal soldiers work diligently as their eyes focus on the words and data on the screen. A new figure covered in shadows walks in with an entourage of the same kind of robots carrying blaster rifles.
"Is everything going according to plan?" The figure in shadows speaks with his deep menacing voice. The only thing noticeable is his black Darth Vader like armor with cape and a hat that helps conceal his eyes.
"Yes sir. Everything is all set. This way we can keep a close eye on the rebels if they dare show themselves." says one of the creations.
"Excellent. But, it is a good area to hide in, if I do say so myself. They aren't as dumb as one might think." comments the dark figure.
Another figure with majestic metallic wings walks up and speaks with its noble voice. "You were the one to train them, master. Of course they will know how to survive...the same reason they are also considered a threat to us."
The first figure chuckles heavily, "Maybe to you, Storm, but they are no match for me. Soon I will meet with them again and do what is necessary for our cause."
