Chapter 1: It started with the Gundam Force

"Welcome new recruits. I'm Lt.Cassey. I am your instructor as well as your family. Outside of this facility you have no family, you have no friends, you have nothing. Now that you have entered into this training program, this is your life, your home, and you will love it." Lt.Cassey surveyed the many women in the recruit area.

"When you signed up, you new the risks, you new the rules. Break them and I will break your ass. Now, you will divide up into a group of five, no more, no less. Put on your uniforms cadets, training for the new female body suited Gundams starts now. See you at dinner. Dismissed!"

A blonde headed girl walked swiftly to her destination. It wasn't hard to find it. So many female recruits after the same thing she was after; to be on the first ever made cosmical savior team of the universe, the Gundam Force team. A team made of only five females that wore the newly made technology body outfits called Gundams.

In her fit, the blonde pushed the other girls aside. "Move out the way and I won't push you." She said in monotone. The women moved.

"Recruits! Recruits listen! I'm going to put you in your apartments so listen! First up, Michiru! Michiru Kaioh!" A sea-blue haired woman stepped up to the announcer.

"I'm Michiru." said her soft voice.

"Yours is the apartment behind me." Michiru nodded and bowed. The announcer gave her a key.

"Mizuno! Amy Mizuno!" The woman moved aside to let a young deep blue haired girl by. She received her key then entered her apartment.

"Tomoe! Hotaru Tomoe!" A short raven-haired girl quietly retrieved the key and went inside her apartment.

"Lita Kino!"

"Kino here!" a tall brunette plowed through the crowd.

"Key, get inside." Lita bowed.

"Tsukino! Serena Tsukino!" The blonde girl weaved through the crowd.

"Here's your key."

"What about my things?" Serena asked lowly.

"Inside."

"Better be."

Serena looked around her apartment. It was of reasonable size, two bedrooms, one kitchen, two bathrooms, and full closet apartment. Serena began to decorate her apartment. She put pictures on the walls, set up her kitchen and bedroom. A knock came at her door.

"Hello?" Serena asked.

"Hi. I'm Lita Kino. I'm across the hall. Apparently I'm in your group. Can we come in?" Serena nodded.

"Nice. Already have things up and going."

"Please, sit on the couch." Serena offered.

"Don't mind if I do." Lita sat, pulling the other three with her. Serena sat across from her.

"So, since we'll be training partners, let's learn some things about each other. I'll go first. My name is Lita Amelia Kino. I'm from Okinawa, Japan. I love to cook. I'm seventeen, well, I just turned seventeen, I do martial arts-I'm a black belt- and I was kicked out of all my other schools for fighting. My mom and dad thought this would be a great thing for me." Lita finished. She smiled, earning smiles in return.

"I'm Amy Lillian Mizuno. I came from Germany. My mother signed me up. I wanted to work in the tech field for the new machines called Gundams. I don't want to lead them. I'm seventeen. I'm the brain. I have one sister, her name is Rachel." Amy blushed but smiled.

"I'm Hotaru Xaiyou Tomoe. I'm from China. I'm sixteen. I have a dad and a step mom named Xanyi. Many call me Shinimegami because I'm dark and mysterious." Hotaru laughed. "I like hip-hop and R&B."

"Me too!" came all the girls voices. They giggled.

"Michiru Calli Kaioh. I'm an orphan. My parents died when I was little. I live at the orphanage in the U.S. I live in Queens, New York. I love classical music and I play the violin. I like singing, and playing my violin for others."

Then came Serena's turn. "My full name is Serenity Hikari Tsukino. I love to sing, and cook. I'm an orphan. It's been thirteen years now since they died. I ran away from the orphanage because they abused me. So, I became emotionless for a very long time. This is the first time in years that I've even said whole sentences to people. Ever since that statement on TV about women being supernatural and that some crazy scientist made some bodysuit called Gundams for women only, I knew I had to sign up. I want to be the leader, the person for everyone to rely on." Serena stated slowly.

"Very noble. I admire you and I still barely know you." Lita said.

"Thanks." Serena smile a little. She stretched in her chair. A knock sounded. Serena rose to get it.

"Cadet Tsukino?"

"Yes Sir?" Serena asked.

"Cadet, you and your fellows need to report to the mess hall in your uniforms in twenty minutes." The man left. Serena closed the door.

"All right girls, you heard the man, get moving."

Serena tugged lightly at her blue, white and pink uniform. She tugged harshly at the wrinkles on her jacket and very little at her skirt. She was waiting outside her apartment for her new found friends. Michiru came out first; her wavy sea-blue hair pulled into a tight bun few strands framing her face. Michiru bowed then moved aside. Amy and Hotaru glided down the hall, their heels clicking hurriedly. They smiled. Lita came last, her hair done in her usual high ponytail. She smiled.

"How do I look? Pretty snazzy huh?" Lita twirled. "Admit I'm cute." Serena pushed Lita towards the mess hall.

"Yeah yeah, get going or we'll be late." Serena pushed Lita, the others following behind her.

They entered the mess hall. The women were standing on the side. Apparently, the tables were divided by group.

"What's going on?" Serena whispered.

"Sorting. We are being placed by groups. They are deciding who's going to be the leader of each group and passing out our schedules, or so I've heard." answered a kind woman. Serena nodded, slowly going back to her group.

"Hotaru Tomoe, Lita Kino, Amy Anderson, Michiru Kaioh, and Serena Tsukino!" The group of five quickly headed to the table. "Sit." The girls sat. "Tsukino, stand." Serena stood. "You have been elected for the title of leader. Due to your history, we promote you to Private First Class." The Sergeant took her shoulder flaps and stuck half a triangle on them. Serena saluted. "There."

Lt.Cassey stood up. She held her glass. "Welcome to the mess hall ladies. As you have seen, people are passing out your agendas for the week. Tomorrow, training will begin at 5:30 in the morning. I suggest that you prepare. Now enough of my rambling. Eat up!"

The girls looked at Serena's new rank. "Wow! Man, it's the first day and you have a rank higher than us!" Hotaru was excited.

"Can't wait till I get promoted." Amy said hopefully. She turned. "Thanks." Amy passed out the schedules to her group. Serena looked at it closely. It seemed that each girl had something different on their paper.

"Okay, here's the main schedule for group 02. Rise at 4:00 a.m. Breakfast at 5:15. First class is Physical Training. Second is technology, third is piloting, fourth is strategy class, lunch, let's see here, um, PT again, history of machines, English, dinner, science, training fro two hours, then we can rest for the night."

"That's eleven hours a day. That's a lot of training." Michiru pointed out.

"It might be increased. I heard that if our team is picked as one of the finalists, we practically train every waking moment and we eat when we can." Lita said, eyeing her sheet. "Hey look, at the bottom of your sheet, you have your own special class that you have to take. Remember that we each have our own field?"

"Oh yea, I forgot. I have mechanics training." Hotaru said. "Mechanics, I break everything I touch."

"Yeah, and you eat everything in sight." Lita added.

"I do not! I'm a growing girl. That means I eat more!"

"Lame excuse Hotaru."

"Whatever tomboy!" Hotaru yelled. The two girls started to argue.

"Cool it!" Michiru yelled. "Anyway, I have gymnastics."

"I have negotiations." Amy said. "Serena, what do you have?"

"I have every class you all have. I take most of them on the weekend. I mostly have weapons and leadership class." Serena picked at her mashed potatoes. She rose. "I can't eat. I'm going to my room. I still have to unpack." Serena left the table.

Dream "Heero! Hey man! Let's go! We have to get into our Gundams and go! We don't want to miss out on the fun!"

Serena watched as a mahogany haired teen stand. She examined him.Heero. He had purssian blue eyes and silky hair that fell boyishly into his eyes. He walked out of the room slowly. Serena followed him silently, her hair swaying gently behind her. She followed the boy into was seemed like a hanger for machines

"What is this?" Serena whispered. In front of her, Serena saw machines similar to the Gundam Force bodysuits only.huge! "Amazing! But, what am I doing here? Where am I? I know that I went to sleep.this must be a dream. A premonition? Must be. How far into the future is this? I wonder." Serena's dream started to shake. "What's happening?!" END

"Morning Serena." Lita said. Serena nodded. She sat next to Hotaru. She reached for a plate. Michiru slid in next to Amy. She had her nose in her technology book. Serena sighed. It was the first day of training and she already had bags under her eyes. With another sigh, Serena grabbed a muffin, a pancake, four sausages, three bacons, and two spoonfulls of scrambled eggs. She stood. "Anyone want coffee?" Lita yawned.

"I'd like some. Black."

"Me too. If you don't mind Serena." Michiru said. Serena nodded. She went to the coffee shop and got two black cups and a French Vanilla.

"Here you go. Okay girls, eat up, we have training in approximately twenty minutes." The girls gasped and shoveled down their food.

"Okay group 02. I will be your instructor. I am your Doctor...Doctor Meioh, Setsuna Meioh. It is my job to whoop you girls into shape so you can become the Gundam Force team. Now, we will start with PT. I want you five to run three miles, then after that, 150 pushups, then 100 sit-ups. After that is done, I will see how much time you have left before class ends. GET TO IT!"

"Come on girls, we can do it! Come on!" Serena was running backwards, trying to encourage her dwindling group. It was apparent that they didn't run as much as she did. Poor them. She had to make them step it up. Serena ran behind them. "C'mon girls! Run!" Hotaru began to slow even more. "C'mon Hota. You can do it! Only half a mile left! Go!" Serena pushed Hotaru on her back.

"Serena, we're gettin' tired! I don't think I can run anymore." Lita panted out. Serena grabbed their brown PT shirts. She jerked on them.

"You've got to show these other groups that we ain't babies!" Serena continued to jerk. "Let's go ladies! You all are too slow! Let's show those other groups that we are the best! Do you want them saying that we are too young for the job?"

"No." Yelled the girls.

"I can't hear you! What was that?"

"NO!" The girls started to sprint.

"Great leadership Tsukino. She will be a great leader."

"Dr. Meioh. How is group 02 doing?" Setsuna turned.

"Wonderful Lt. Cassey. Just as you prophesied."

Lt. Cassey laughed. "Of course. I really don't understand why we had to get these other girls. Any, Sets, did you give Serena that dream?"

Setsuna nodded. "I have. They will have a surprise soon."

"Will they now Sets?"

"Yes. You see, the boys from the future will ACCIDENTALY be born early." Setsuna's garnet eyes wondered over group 02.

"Could they handle it? I mean really Sets. They are really going to push themselves over this position-even though they already have it." Lt. Cassey pushed her brown hair over her shoulder and pushed up her glasses.

"Interesting. As you wish. When shall these boys show up?"

"In one month. I just hope that my other premonitions don't come true." Setsuna reminisced on her dream the night before.

"Don't use too much magic Setsuna. It's not healthy. Well, I'll leave you to your watch." Setsuna saluted.

"Goodbye Lt. Cassey."

"Okay group 02. Good hustle. You are ten minutes ahead of schedule. Go take quick showers then change into your uniforms."

The tired girls saluted Setsuna then limped their way to the showers.

One Month Later

"Corporal Tsukino!" Serena turned.

"Dr. Meioh. What can I do for you?"

Setsuna patted Serena's head lightly.

"I want you to rally your group. I have something for you girls to do."

"As you wish." Serena saluted.

"Don't dally!" Serena began to run.

"Lt. Cassey." Lt. Cassey stepped around the corner.

"Is it ready? Are they here?" Setsuna turned. Lt. Cassey nodded, a notebook clasped in her hand.

"The suits are ready too. I saw Serena heading to find the girls. I'll make sure the five boys are ready. I'll see you in the hanger." Lt. Cassey left Setsuna to her musings.

"Soon the future saviors of the universe shall meet the present saviors of the universe."

Five boys strolled down the corridor, led by a nursery teacher.

"Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, meet Setsuna. Your new friend." The tiny children of four smiled.

"Hello Ms. Setsuna."

Please review my story. I've been thinking about writing it for a long time now. Please await the next chapter: "These aren't my kids!"
