Chapter 2

Operation M1

It's been a year and five months since the dreaded attack on Colony SC-038 during "Operation Liberation." At the same time, Capital Colony SC-004 was destroyed, thanks to "Operation Liberation." The colony peoples were in chaos because of the loss of their governmental leaders. In retaliation, the colonists took a new turn towards freedom, total destruction of the Earth Empire, by destroying the heart of the Empire, the Earth Sphere. The operation towards Earth's destruction is "Operation M1."

"Operation M1," the first operation by the colonists that insists on the destruction of Earth. The guidelines of "Operation M1" were simple, launch seven high powered nuclear warheads from the nearby colony to earth, SC-002, and begin a nuclear winter that would make earth uninhabitable and end Earth's reign over the colonies. However, if the colonies created the unthinkable Mobile Suit they dreaded to create in the beginning was made, they would launch that

machine to earth and make the Earth Empire give into the colonies' demands for freedom. However, if the machine was destroyed in combat, the warheads would be launched in place of the second guideline. The Machine is the Gundam Magna, operating number CGS-001.

The Gundam, the most powerful weapon type known to the entire human race. The Gundam type weapon is prototype to the standardized Mobile Suits. The Gundam type weapon has no standard size, no power standard, and has no fuel tank standard. The first Gundam type created was First Gundam (F-Gundam), operating number MWP-001. F-Gundam stood up to be 70 feet tall, taller than the operating standard, 289 tons, much more heavier than the standard, armed with a Prototype Beam Machine Gun (a stable beam rifle that is powered by Cold Fusion and fires beam shots repeatedly like a machine gun), and a blade sword. This machine was built six years before any other mobile suit, however, when the colony SC-038 was attacked, it's hull integrity collapsed and was destroyed. At the same time, the Gundam Magna was created with superior powers.

The Gundam Magna was built for "Operation M1" and was made to last. This Gundam was made with Gundanium Alloy, a rare metal only found on Mars, within Colony territory, that is nearly invincible to any attack. However, it has a drawback to it. The original pilot died in the cockpit because of a special system during the attack on SC-038. The system rejected the pilot and overpowered the pilot's brain and killed him. The system gives the Gundam a mind of it's own because of a special secret that the scientists did not wish to give out. However, with the discovery of Ryan Noel's abilities and acceptance by the system, they wish to exploit him into acting on "Operation M1." The Gundam Magna stands up to 60 feet, weighs about 87 tons, armed with a Beam Machine Rifle, a Prototype Beam Saber, two Vulcan Cannons (machine cannons located on the head section), and a shield.

At another colony, Ryan sits in a shuttle, waiting for someone. Finally a new person comes inside the shuttle bridge area.

"Hey Ryan?" asked the new person.

"What is it, Carl" asked Ryan in an annoyed voice.

"Do you think that the operation will be a success?"

Ryan sighs, then responds, "Maybe, but either way, the colonies will gain their freedom…"

Carl sits back in his chair when suddenly an alarm goes off inside the colony. Ryan quickly looks out a window and sees that a Buster Armor got inside the colony and has started to attack the base in the colony. Ryan starts to press buttons that open the doors of the colony. The Buster Suit sees the shuttle Ryan and Carl are in and heads towards the shuttle.

"We have to go now!" Ryan yells to Carl.

"But there's glass between us and the mobile suit, it won't risk endangering the civilians, will it?" asked Carl in a frightened tone of voice.

"It would," Ryan says, activating the engines and boosting out of the colony. Inside the colony, the Buster Armor breaks open the window from the colony inside and to space, releasing all of the air of the colony out, killing millions of civilians. The Buster Armor gets involved in the pursuit of the shuttle. Ryan pulls a leaver and says to Carl, "activate the Light Speed Drive now!"

Carl pushes a button and the shuttle increases it's speed greatly and sets a course to Earth. The Shuttle finally increases it's speed to the speed of Light.

The Buster Armor stops, then it's boosters unfold to reveal more booster jets on it. Then its boosts it's speed to the speed of light as well.

"Ryan, the Buster Armor is on our tail!"

"Just a little longer!" replied Ryan.

The Shuttle returns to normal speed in earth's orbit. The Buster Armor returns to normal speed as well, in earth's orbit. The shuttle begins it's descent into earth when the Buster Armor fires a beam shot at one of the shuttle's engine. The engine implodes and the cockpit short-circuited and the panel in front of Carl explodes in his face.

"Carl, are you okay!"

"Yeah… just peachy…" Carl barely said.

Ryan, trying to dodge the beam shots from the Buster Armor, tries to treat Carl's wounds, be couldn't leave the controls of the shuttle alone.

"Ryan… Get inside… the Gundam… I'll take care of… the Buster Armor…" Carl barely spoke, grabbing the controls.

"Alright… Thank you, Carl." Ryan said, heading for the cargo hold of the shuttle.

Ryan enters the cargo hold and sees the Gundam Magna. Ryan jumps inside the Gundam and starts the activation sequence. When the words "Gundam Magna Prototype System Activated" showed up on the screen, Ryan silently said, "Well, we meet again…"

As the shuttle almost passes the atmosphere, the Buster Armor burns up and explodes because of the intense heat. The shuttle passes through the atmosphere, and Carl lets go of the controls for the shuttle.

Ryan sees that the shuttle passed through the atmosphere and yells out, "Yeah Carl, you did it! Carl?" Ryan gains a visual of the cockpit by one of the cameras inside to discover that Carl had already died saving the shuttle.

On the surface of the earth, several Buster Armors wait for the shuttle to be within range of attack. Three Buster Armors are armed with bazookas, five Buster Armors are armed with machine rifles, and sixteen Groto Mobile Armors.

Mobile Armor, a crude first attempt on a mobile suit to counter the Colony machine. The Mobile Armor Groto, operating number EMA-005 is a walking tank with six legs, similar to a spider and a bazooka top as a main weapon.

The mobile weapons fired onto the shuttle as it came into range. Six bazooka shots hit the hull of the shuttle before it exploded. As a flaming cloud formed after the explosion, the mobile weapons began to go away, until two green eyes inside the cloud appeared.

"Oh no, not after all I've been through, did you actually believe that would kill me!" Ryan said on the speakers of the Gundam Magna, Boosting into battle with the red beam saber activated, as bullets and missiles are shot at Magna, the most powerful Gundam by the colonies…
