So onto the story.
Chapter 1: A new Beginning
IS Academy- IS Maintenance Hangar
Inside one of the maintenance hangars of the academy, a blue & white IS is being examined by Maya Yamada with Chifuyu Orimura watching behind her. They are intrigued by its design, most notably its near-human shaped appearance than their standard & personal IS. Maya was trying to access the data inside the IS which the black haired man used. While Chifuyu kept her face calm and stoic, the green-haired teacher was agitated because whatever techniques she used to open the database, there is only one answer:
ACCESS DENIED!
"Still having the same results?" Orimura asked.
Maya can only nod in response. "Yes it is ma'am. The security is far stronger than I can imagine" she added.
"What about the core? Did you see it yet?" she asked again.
"I haven't yet. Trying to find it now." She replied. Using the computer, she scanned the IS to see its internal structure. But when the scan finished what they saw was completely shocking.
The IS has complicated wirings that they never saw before in an IS. Its performance also went off the charts with overwhelming attack, defense, speed and maneuverability. But what they were really shocked though, were at the shoulders of the IS, which contains…
"How can an IS have two IS cores at once?!" Chifuyu shouted as she cannot believe that an IS like this existed.
"I-I don't know ma'am! This is also hard to swallow for me as well!" Maya also stated.
After regaining her composure, Orimura said. "But how? There is no evidence that this can be accomplished. Not even that Bunny-eared woman can build such a thing."
"I also don't know ma'am. There were no theories that existed as well. But if this is possible," she paused then looked at Chifuyu. "How can it still be functional? I mean, two IS cores activated at once? The power consumption rate should be doubled that not even a normal IS can supply such power."
"Hmm, check its supply and condenser cap category" she said and Maya checked it. It was another surprise that the limit of the supply and condensers are unlimited.
"Don't tell me it's a nuclear powered IS core is it?" Chifuyu asked, now interested at this insane IS.
"Negative ma'am, take a look" Maya replied as she zoomed at the cones covering the cores and the device in it.
"It looks like it uses some sort of reactor that uses an unknown energy as its power source" she added.
"Hmm, that explains a little. Then who made it? What country or company made it?" she asked.
"I don't know what country ma'am, but it seems this was made by a group called Celestial Being" she replied.
"Celestial Being? What's that?" Chifuyu asked. "I also don't know Orimura sensei, but it is the only data I collected thanks to its very difficult security" she answered.
"(Sigh), How about its pilot then?" Chifuyu asked again. But when this topic appeared Maya's face became as red as tomatoes.
"He-he's okay ma'am. A-a-along si-side his scars and a-a bullet wound in his sh-sh-shoulder, he's f-f-fine ma'am" Maya answered, remembering every inch of his body when they start undressing him.
"Okay, what's with the stuttering answer and the face?" Chifuyu asked, wondering what happened to her friend.
"N-nothing ma'am!" Maya shouted.
"(Sigh), maybe we should ask the man in question to get answers from our questions." She stated. "He should be awake by now."
"Ye-yes ma'am" she replied, closing the apps she used to crack the security and shut down the computer to prevent anyone tampering it for later and they head to the infirmary. What both of them don't know is that the IS that they see now wasn't really an IS. They also don't know that a red ball sitting behind the IS was preventing them from hacking its database.
"Secret protected. Secret protected."
IS Academy- Infirmary
"Urgh….mmmmmmm" Setsuna slowly opened his eyes as he regained consciousness and slowly lifted his heavy body. AS his vision became clearer, what he noticed first is that he is now on earth, in an infirmary to be exact, but he feels suspicious that this isn't earth that he know. First, he was sure that he was at the far side of the moon, in a tough battle with another twin drive gundam, that is Reborns Gundam, and it would be impossible for that portal to send him back to earth.
'I shoudn't worry about that now, but' he thought but he said aloud "Where am I?"
"Looks like our guest has woken up Maya," he heard a woman's voice as he turned to her direction. He then saw a black haired woman and a green haired woman, who looks flustered when their eyes met. Before he can ask the same question again, the black haired woman replied.
"You are at the infirmary of the IS academy after you crashed down at arena 6 of this school. Now, who are you?" she asked with her arms crossed and a stern look but this didn't affect him. He tried to sit up straight, but then his right shoulder started to ache "Ack!"
"Don't even try to do it. You fell at a high place at a fast speed, you should be lucky that you only had that injury. Now who are you?" she said as she checked his status before going to his room.
But this doesn't remove his uneasiness in these women that he just met until now so he lied.
"I am Setsuna F. Seiei, living in Tokyo, Japan, year 2310." He replied earning questioning looks from both of them.
"Did you hit your head in that fall? The year is 2040, or did you live in the wilderness?" after hearing that, he became enraged.
"What do you mean 2040?! And I have not lived in the wilderness woman!" he shouted, ignoring the pain in his shoulder.
"Why you little..!" Chifuyu said as she gave her signature glare, to which he was unfazed and also gave his glare at her. As Maya were scared as the two glared swords at each other, she tried to calm them down.
"U-um, can talk this over?" she ask calmly. However…
"WHAT?!" the combined glares were more than enough to shut her up as her face turned pale. But this was enough to calm them down as they looked at each other, the two teachers sitting on the chairs and settling down. Now it was Setuna's turn to ask questions again.
"Who are you? What do you mean by I'm in year 2040? And where's my gundam?" these question were asked in quick succession, but they were quick to understand.
"My name is Chifuyu Orimura and the green haired woman beside me is Maya Yamada. We mean that the year now is 2040, not 2310 as what you have said, and we don't know the gundam you're talking about. However, if this gundam you speak of is the IS you wear, then it is in the maintenance hangar." She said as he now remembered what happened.
"Great, looks like the portal which sucked me in sent me to this parallel world" he said out loud earning him questioning looks from the women.
But what had alarmed him is that he think they tried to learn the secrets of the 00 as he asked with a slight hint of anger.
"Did you try to open the gundam? Did you try to learn its secrets?" he asked. He didn't know that his brown eyes became golden and the two teachers noticed it. But Maya answered nonetheless.
"Ye-yes, but the only information we got is the name of the company that made it as the security is too tight, that's all," she replied, knowing that he is angry when they tried to open up its database. His face then became stoic as he replied.
"Good, because if you did, this place will be destroyed by its self-destruct sequence" The teachers were alarmed because this is the first time an IS have such destructive power if it destroys itself.
"Can you be trusted?" he asked out of nowhere. What did he mean by that? Did the things he said earlier was fake? The two of them were having doubts that what he said were a lie. Worse, he might be a member of Phantom Task. They looked at each other, agreeing then looked back at Setsuna.
"Fine, we will keep this a secret. But we have conditions" she said, not allowing him to retort she continued. "You have two choices. One, after you are healed, we will kick you out of here and leave you on your own. Two, enroll here because you are the second man that can pilot an IS and your IS have this unlimited power source. By the way, how is it powered?" Chifuyu asked.
"The power source is classified and if necessary, I have to kill myself and the ones who found it, including you." He pointed at them. Maya was terrified because this man just threatened to kill her but Chifuyu maintained her cool as she asked. "Why?"
"Because once it falls into wrong hands, there will be more wars. And I hate wars" he answered.
His answer made sense to them because of the threats of Phantom Task and its possible that if this fell into them, they will win whatever they wished for. Chifuyu asked. "You seem wise for your looks. How old are you really?" then came a quick reply "21."
"EEEHHH?! But you have all these scars in your body and you look like 18 years old!" Maya shouted to which Setsuna raised an eyebrow from his stoic face. Noticing this, she returned to being a ripe tomato and hung her head in shame. "I'm sorry"
Chifuyu then noticed that they were getting off track so she continued. "Well then, what will you choose?" he then asked a question. "What do you mean I'm the second man who can pilot this "IS"?"
"It is because normally, only females can use an IS. The first male who can use it was Ms. Orimura's younger brother, Ichika Orimura." Maya answered, regaining her composure after her embarrassment.
Setsuna then thought for a while. If what they said is true, then they could help him return to his world. After a while, he had an answer. "Fine, I accept" the women gave a sigh of relief because they are finished with the issue. Them they heard him say.
"I will introduce myself again. I am Setsuna F. Seiei, a Gundam Meister of Celestial Being of the year 2312" this they did not expect. But they remembered the name of the manufacturer of the IS, or "Gundam" that he spoke of as they raised a question. "What is Celestial Being?"
"Do you have the memory stick in my pants?" he asked making Maya remember it. "Yes, I will go get it" as she left the room. After she returned, she gave the memory stick to him. He then activated it and pressed some buttons, surprising both them. He then gave it to them, saying "All information you want to see is in that stick. Watch it when you are alone, as I do not like anyone seeing it without my permission."
The two of them nodded and Chifuyu said. "Alright, I shall watch it alone with her. Now we'll leave you for a while. Tomorrow, you will attend here as a Test Pilot of Celestial Being Development Corporation"
Setsuna raised an eyebrow and tried to ask but Chifuyu spoke again. "It is just an excuse to keep your secret from being exposed. Don't you agree, Mr. Seiei?"
Setsuna gave a small smile as he is impressed at her idea and nodded. "Yes, Orimura-sensei" he sarcastically said.
Chifuyu chuckled at that "Looks like someone can show respect to others even if they only met minutes ago." After that, they left the room. Now alone, he looked at the window, noticing how peaceful it was.
'Do I have to be here? And if so, what would me and my gundam could do?' he thought as he fell into a deep sleep.
A few hours after
Chifuyu and Maya cannot believe what they had seen in the stick that Setsuna gave to them. They didn't know that Celestial Being was a paramilitary organization whose objective was to eliminate wars with wars. They also cannot believe the atrocities of the world governments, the HRL to be specific, which disgusted them.
"It looks like this Celestial Being is the good version of Phantom Task" Chifuyu said.
"Yeah, I can't believe that such a small group can nearly defeat world governments" Maya stated as the continued to watch. They saw that the "Gundam" Setsuna was talking about was named after the organization's "mobile suits" that are clearly more powerful than the suits used by the world governments. They were shocked when they saw their ship destroyed and the organization defeated by a traitor. Then after 4 years, they rise again to finish what they started.
"To think he has his friends killed right before his eyes, he can still live on" Maya said, tears forming in her eyes. Chifuyu agreed, remembering her life when her parents abandoned them, leaving Ichika to her care alone. She can consider her life luckier than him, whom she guessed that his parents were killed and have to live on his own.
"What's in the past is the past, we must move to the future. Come on, we still got work to do" she said as she closed the stick. "Yes ma'am!" Maya replied as they keep the memory stick in a safe place and left the room.
The next day-IS Infirmary
Setsuna woke up as the sun's rays hit his eyes. He then checked the clock inside the room to find that it was 6:00 in the morning. He then noticed the pile of clothes, books and a note in two of the chairs. He grabbed the note and read it.
To Mr. Seiei
Good morning, I hope you are okay now. We left you a pair of your uniform and textbooks on the chair.
The students are having breakfast right now and classes will start at 7:00 A.M.
Your class is in 1-1, so make sure you bring those books, okay?
I'll tell you your assigned room and get your IS once classes are finished. Please meet me at the Teacher's office.
Good luck for your first day here!
P.S. Please don't mind the girls in the class if they became…weird.
-Maya Yamada-
After reading, he then looked at the pile of books and uniform in the chairs and gave out a sigh. Looks like he have to bear with it for a while if he want to go home as he grabbed the clothes and started dressing himself. After that, he then headed for the door.
'Well, here goes' he thought as he opened the door and went to the teacher's office.
Meanwhile, In the Cafeteria
Murmurs and whispers filled the air as the story behind the thing that crashed at arena 6 spread like wildfire. When they tried to ask the student council for what it is, they only shut their mouth, not telling them as Chifuyu Orimura, their idolized teacher, ordered them to. Meanwhile, in the area where the 1st year students were commonly eating, a raven haired student wearing the male version of the IS academy is having breakfast with a girl possessing long black hair with a green ribbon with black stripes in it tied around her hair as a ponytail. While the man was enjoying his meal, the woman, not so much which caught his attention.
"Psst…. Houki, are you still mad at me?" the man asked the girl.
"No, I'm not" the girl, Houki Shinonono, replied but her face tells different.
"Then what's with the face?" he asked.
"Get used to it." She quickly replied, earning a sigh from the boy.
While eating, three girls suddenly came to them, and a girl wearing a fox hoodie asked the man.
"Orimu, can we sit next to you?" She asked the man, Ichika Orimura.
"Oh, sure, go ahead" came his quick reply, earning him Houki's annoyance since she don't like when he is being nice to girls and ignoring her in the process. Then the hooded girl asked out of the blue.
"Hey Orimu, do you know what happened yesterday?" this made Ichika nearly spit out his food as he think it was the accident between him and Houki when he saw her only in nothing but a towel which made her completely furious as she kicked him out of the room with her shinai, putting holes in the door in the process.
"Oh do you mean the thing that crashed in arena 6 yesterday? I heard it recently in the third years." One of the girls said. This was not he expect, did something happened yesterday that they didn't know? He then asked.
"What happened yesterday?"
"Apparently… a strange object fell yesterday and crashed at arena 6 yesterday," one of the girls said. "I don't know what it is, but apparently the student council saw it first as they were training there" she then looked at the hooded girl.
"Hey Nonohon, isn't your sister in the student council? What was it?" she asked Honne Nohotoke.
"Yes it is, but Utsuho-nee said that all the student council members are prohibited to tell about it so I don't anything than that" she replied, shaking her head in apology.
'I wonder what it is...' he thought. Maybe he should ask his sister about it since she was there. But he quickly abandoned that plan since she would only hit him with her attendance book. He didn't notice that Houki finished her breakfast and is now leaving until she blurted it out.
"I'm done here. I'm going first" she said as she quickly left.
"I wonder what's wrong with her?" the girls and Ichika said, not knowing that they ignored her.
IS Academy- Class 1-1
It was now start of the classes as the students sit to their respective seats. Later their teacher, Maya Yamada, a busty green haired woman told them.
"Alright everyone. Before we start our classes for today I would like to tell something first." This piqued their interest as they listened to her.
"Today we will have a new transfer student!" she clasped her hands and looked at the door. "Mr. Seiei, you can come in now!"
"Wait. Ma'am, did you just say Mr. as in another male student?!" one of the students said, causing an uproar to the remaining students except for three. Houki, who only kept quiet and didn't care of it, Cecilia Alcott, the British representative who looked annoyed that another male student appeared.
'Another male student?! And I thought that the Japanese boy was the only problem. Not that it matters, I, Cecilia Alcott, shall teach him his place!' she thought and decided to teach him a lesson later.
And lastly Ichika, who was having manly tears because he didn't have to suffer this burden anymore.
When the door opens, they saw a raven haired boy with a Middle Eastern look, with brownish-chestnut eyes, wearing the male version of the academy's uniform with a shorter jacket that only reached his waist and a green diamond in its center as he quietly entered. As he put his books on Maya's desk, he then faced his would be classmates. He then saw a male amongst the room of women, giving him a smile.
'Looks like Orimura-san was telling the truth. Only women is all I can see here save for Ichika' he thought. As his name appeared in the monitor board in kanji, he spoke in his monotonic voice.
"My name is Setsuna F. Seiei, and as for today I will be your classmate. Let's hope we can get along" he finished with a bow. When he looked up, he noticed the silence of the girls. Not knowing what happened, he scanned the room. The only reactions that he saw different were at the blond girl who looks at him in annoyance, the long, black haired girl who only closed her eyes, and Ichika, who, for some reason, covered his ears. He didn't expect what happens next but Ichika knew all along, as this also happened to him. And then the unexpected happened, for Setsuna anyways.
And IT is done! So how about this chapter? R&R please!
