Unknown Potential

A/N: Wah, this is fun. I'm pulling from all they ever tell you in both the anime and the magna about -well, you'll find out. I know what I'm doing! Muahaha! Once again, I own this plot idea -I am actually quite proud of it.

By the way -Haruko's in this chapter! Yay!

-----------------
Chapter 1


Everything was really dark... and then Naota realized that his eyes were shut. After opening his eyes, he looked around his surroundings. Immediately a sense a total panic shot through him, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end -he had no idea where he was.... in some small cell like room .... cold metal walls, floors, and a door. Light dimly came though a small rectangular window in the door. The whole room smelled kind of funny... like an airport. He was lying on the floor. His recalled his last memory... the ground rushing up to meet him and the hope that the reason he was falling was because he had been hit by a Rickenbacker -but no such luck.

As he picked himself up off the floor, he could hear voices around him, although they weren't too clear because they were in another room -it sounded like. As he dusted himself off, he strained his ears to hear what they were saying, and picked up part of a conversation.

This kid's got a hundred times more potential then that scamp from four years ago... He might even be better then her... Yeah... that's why we need all of them. That way we'll know. We're bound to win the war at this rate! Yeah! After all these years!

Then the voices died down. Four years ago... what happened then? What war -there was a war going on?! Who were they talking about?! What the hell were they talking about?!

While he continued to grow angry at his lack of knowledge, the cell door hinges creaked open -he almost jumped out of his skin, and a man in some kind of grungy military uniform walked in. They want you in there, now. the man said gruffly, rudely grabbing Naota's sleeve and dragging him out side the cell. There he was met with the wrong end of at least five gun barrels pointed at him, and he had the feeling that they weren't the kind that shot rubber bullets. He was lead down a hall made of the same metal of his cell, armed men(guards he guessed) in toe. They ended up arriving at the end of a hall, in front of a door.

Through there, one wrong move and your dead. the man from before said, opening the door and shoving Naota inside, then entering himself. Three other people were already there, three men and one woman, standing around a rectangular table that seemed to be glowing, illuminating the room. One of the men looked like he was in his mid 40's, the woman in her mid 30's, and the other man in his 20's. He wished he could make out their faces, but the light in the room was too dim. The man said, lifting his palm up to the side of his head in some sort of salute.

The oldest looking of the group nodded, and motioned for Naota to come closer. Hesitantly, he did so. Nadaba Naota. Age: 14. Earth. -am I correct? The older man asked, although it sounded more like a statement. Naota felt like he was back in Mabase when Eyebrows was questioning him -confused and irritated. He nodded. You're probrably wondering why you're here, aren't you? Naota refrained from saying anything rude in reply, and curtly nodded. Well, it's like this- the older man started, but was cut off by the young man. You've been abducted by aliens. he had said, scoffing. He received a look from the woman and from there she continued.

Well, ... that is true. You are currently in a space station that is near the last known planet of your solar system orbiting your sun. There is a war in outer space that has been going on for the past fifty years between two intergalactic powers. You may have heard of us, we are the faction of Medical Mechanica in charge of this section of your galaxy. Our opposing force is the Galaxy Space Police Brotherhood.

Medical Mechanica. They had kidnapped him. Naota was in space. A shiver ran down his spine at the thought that his home was so far away, from the cold darkness of Pluto.

Before she could continue, the youngest of the group started up again. Earth has the sucky-ist defense against foreign invaders compared to any other planet in the galaxy, in fact -there have been two or three major illegal breaches in the past four years. By the same person too. You know her.... Haruha Raharuko?

At the mention of Haruko, Naota stopped dead in his tracks. What did she have to do with this?

As she was saying... the older man interrupted. Earth has tried to remain neutral through out this war, which has allowed us to do things such as build a plant on your planet two years ago, despite it's destruction a few months ago. There have been illegal breaches as well...

This has happened on twice or so occasions in the past four years -12 or so years on Earth for you. The goal of both was to find a functional N-O gate that would bring various things through space and time to one certain point in time.... the N-O gates were found in two males. Amarao Aoki and... Nadaba Naota. He paused, as if seeing how Naota would react. Naota made no visible reaction... but inside his head his thoughts swirled around and seemed as if they would cause his head to emit some sort of electrical current... which for all he knew, it would.

How could this be? What did he mean by 12 years on Earth? What did Medical Mechanica want with Naota? Eyebrows had a N-O gate in his head too? Didn't Haruko say something about being a Space Patrol Officer once?

That meant that she hadn't lied to him.

The pressure of a gun against his temple stopped his mind from wandering too far away. He looked back to the elder, who then cleared his throat. You will be kept here under our control until you are needed. We will provide you with the necessities -food, clothing, shelter. He was once again cut off by the younger man. We don't need you dead -yet.



The hum of a Earthling 1960's Vespa could have been heard outside of a rest stop on the side of the road. A sign that read Mabase: 1000 kilometers stood not too far off from the source of the moped's humming. On the Vespa sat a young woman, not even in her twenties, eating ramen from a small bowl. Despite the air of uncaring recklessness she carried -she was brooding.

How dare they... first they had taken Atomsk. Atomsk... that power, belonged to her. They dared to use it against her too... and look how that turned out. Now... now they had taken something else important to her. Someone else. If they dared to use him against her as well... they would pay very dearly. The feeling of an intense inferno from the pit of her stomach to the back of her mind raged with every thought that brought her anger.

She knew Medical Mechanica had returned to Earth, although before then she didn't know why. For this reason she decided to pay the little blue planet a visit, maybe to discover a little more about their plans -maybe even to pay a little visit to a certain kid. Though the last time she had pulled a stunt like that she was nearly kicked out of the GSPB. They kept her however, for in the end it had destroyed MM's plant on Earth and they no longer had the chance of using Atomsk's powers against them.

However, they never made it legal for her to return to this planet... oh well. It was a good thing Earth's defense was as crappy as dollar store pumps. This was the thirteenth time she had been able to still enter undetected.

She had returned to discover that Naota had gone missing for two months. Canti was no where to be found, although she was confident that MM didn't have enough balls to try and take back their precious MMR X01 back -not yet anyway. She slurped her ramen as the chopsticks she was holding tended to scrape the bottom of the disposable bowl more often. She had to find a way to get them back.

Her eyes reflected the hot glow of the sunset, despite the fact that the sun had already set an hour ago.
