A/N Ya know how it's harder to start a story then en…wait… didn't I already rant about this?
Things get...Complicated... VERY Complicated
Alex looked through the battlefield. Not a soul in sight… living soul I mean. He walked outside of the bunker, taking one last look at his Father.
"To the East," Alex whispered and begun walking.
"Thought I'd fine you."
Alex turned around and saw a being walking towards him. "Uh… do I know you?"
"My name is Caim. You'll be coming with me."
The man was around Alex's age, and had pure white hair in a crazy and outrages style. He wore a small bit of chest armor, with a black shirt underneath and a long white coat. He had black pants, with light blue shoes and a brown belt, which had a small silver hilt on it.
"Uh… why would I be doing that?" Alex asked.
"Captain Sys-Zero told me a crazed student was jumping into the middle of a war. That you?" Caim asked.
"…Maybe…"
"Then let's go. You're coming with me."
"You're going to have to make me!" Alex yelled, already walking off.
Suddenly Alex heard the noise of something being turned on. He turned around to see that Caim held in his hand a long silver pole.
"That supposed to scare me?" Alex asked. "A big metal stick?"
"No. This is," Caim answered, as a long green crescent energy beam came out of his scythe.
"…AHHHHHH!" Alex screamed and ran off, screaming.
"They always run," Caim groaned. He then smiled and snapped his fingers. "You can't run from… THE TERROR OF DEATH!" Caim shouted as the ground shook underneath him.
All of a sudden a huge metal arm came out the ground, lifting up Caim. What followed was a huge mecha, which fitted the name… Terror of Death. Picture the Grim Reaper, but bigger and with guns.
It was mostly black, with a strange cloak over it. Alex could see a cannon on the left hand, with a long red scythe in its right hand. It was still mostly covered by the 'robe' with a hood over the head.
"I won't hurt you, just come with me!" Caim yelled, getting into the driver's seat of his mecha.
"OVER YOUR DEAD BODY!" Alex yelled, running off.
"Sigh."
Caim just piloted Terror of Death after him, slowly, knowing that Alex would eventually get tired. That would have worked if some guests didn't come in.
"Shadowscythe Brutals!" Caim screamed as two large bulky beings suddenly tackled him. They were large with flat heads, cannon for arms, and had red eyes.
"See ya!" Alex laughed, running off.
"You son of a FRAGGER!"
"East…East… HOW FAR EAST!?" Alex screamed. He looked around to see he had gone far past Soluna City, and was now in a barren wasteland. "…THIS SUCKS!!"
"Wow… And here I thought it would be hard to find survivors."
"Huh?"
Alex turned around to see a…a……giant spider?
"AAAAAAAHHHHH! Don't eat me!"
"…We're not going to eat you! We're just looking for survivors."
"Huh? We?" Alex asked.
Suddenly the spider stopped and it opened up at the underbelly. A staircase came down with four beings walking down, two boys and two girls.
One boy had black goggles, wore a dark green jumpsuit and wore tool belt. "Blagius Drul Quelfa, but you can call me Tech. Everyone else does."
One of the girls had a Star Captain Uniform and brown hair in a ponytail. "Veronica."
Another girl had the classic Gears University student outfit with purple hair in a ponytail. "Olapen. Olapen Jinitro."
The last girl had fair skin; brown, shoulder length hair; wearing jeans and a black t-shirt that says "Mana Power" in blue and the Runehawk symbol. "I'm Gal," she shyly said.
The last boy was in a Gear University uniform, with a visible scar on his cheek and black wild hair. "Baron."
"…Weird…" Alex whispered. "Uh… Alex. Alexander Stargazer."
"Stargazer… are you related to Chan Stargazer?" Tech asked.
"…Yes."
"Where is he? Chan is a high ranking solider of the Army, if he can stop this attack then-"
"He can't help us."
"What do you mean?" Olapen asked.
"Chan Stargazer died a few hours ago, saving his son's life," Alex explained.
"…Oh…Uh…we're sorry," Veronica said.
"YOU!"
Everyone turned to see Caim and his mecha, Terror of Death running over to them. As soon as it got near, it seemed to glare at Alex as Caim's voice was heard. "You left me!"
"Oh…this is awkward… So why are you guys around here?" Alex asked Gal and the others.
"We were looking for survivors with Tech's mecha," Veronica explained.
"Hey!" Caim yelled. "Sys-Zero still wants me to bring you back! He doesn't want to know that he let someone die, so come on!" Caim yelled.
"Sys-Zero? Star Captain Sys-Zero?" Tech asked.
"Yeah, he told me to grab the 'Crazy Jetpack Guy', AKA Alex here. Now…anything you'd like to say?" Caim asked.
"G…G…Giant…R…Robot…" Alex whispered.
"Huh?" Olapen asked, and turned around.
There, in the distance were a small army of mechs, but not just any mechs. Shadowscythe mechs.
"I count 20…25 atleast!" Veronica shouted.
"Guys, call your mechs, now!" Tech ordered.
"Well good luck guys! I'll be leaving!" Alex yelled, slowly backing away.
"HEY!" everyone yelled.
"I don't even have a mech!" Alex screamed. "How can I help youuuuuuuuuu!!" Alex screamed as the ground underneath gave way.
"…That was new," Baron commented.
"They still coming?" Veronica asked as she readied her mech.
Don't ask me how they got there; my head hurts from lack of sleep!!
"Wow… this author sucks," Baron commented.
I'm hungry, tired, and cranky from school, leave me alone!
"Stop annoying the author, Baron. Ready to fight everyone?" Tech yelled.
"Ready!" everyone yelled back.
Like two train colliding into each other, our heroes fought against the side of evil. Energy, bullets, and fire flew around the area.
"TECH!" Gal yelled. "Look out!" she screamed, but it was too late. A Shadowscythe Brute grabbed Tech's mech and began crushing him in a monstrous bear hug.
"AHHH!" Tech yelled as systems began firing. He tired to break out, but things looked grim.
"Hey…mind if I cut in?"
Suddenly the Brute's arms were sliced off and the mech fell to the ground, exploding.
"Miss me?"
"AHHHHHH!!" Alex screamed as he fell. "AHHHH! AHHH…!! AHHHH- OH HOW LONG IS THIS FALL!?" Alex screamed as he fell. "I mean seriousl-OOF…owie."
"DNA SCAN…APPROVED."
"Huh? Who's here?"
Suddenly Alex saw a blue dot on the ground. The blue dot then fired a blue line, which traveled around the ground, zigzagging everywhere. Suddenly another blue line appeared...and another and another!
Soon the whole place was glowing with only blue light around Alex.
"Dad has been listening to that Eiffel 65 song again…"
"Hello son."
"WOAH!" Alex screamed and fell to the ground to se his Father. "DAD!" Alex yelled and ran to hug him… only to fall in trip. "Owie…again."
"Alex, this is a pre-recording."
"Could have told me earlier."
"If you're hearing this, chances are…I'm dead. If so, I want you to take my experiment X-8820."
"Okay…I know that, but where is-"
"I bet you're wondering where it is. Right?"
"Well yeah, so-"
"I know you're in a rush. Knowing you, you're probably being chased by Biker Werewolves…or you tried getting into the girl's locker room dressed as a girl again and they're chasing you again."
"ONE TIME!"
"Twelve."
"Twelve times!"
"Your yelling aside son, let's go. We have work to do," Chan said, his hologram walking off. Slowly Alex followed the glowing hologram down a dark hall. "Here we are."
"Wh-"
"I bet you're wondering where we are."
"…Dad…stop doing t-"
"I also think you're mad because I keep interrupting you."
"…"
"Right, sorry. Here he is, X-8820."
"Wh…Holy…Frag…"
The mecha was blue, with black lines traveling down it. Its head was white, with yellow eyes and two small golden horns, with a mouth guard. On the right arm was a large triangular shield, with the tip pointing at the mecha. The shield was blue with a large black T on it. It had strong built leg and on the left arm was mostly normal, but Alex noticed a gun on the left waist. On the back, was a large thruster back.
"Gundam is going to sue us."
"Oh and son? Here. This is also a little something. The X-8820 Blade," Chan said, as he snapped his fingers. Suddenly out of the ground came a hilt.
"Huh?" Alex asked and picked it up. "A hilt?" Alex asked.
"You'll see," Chan smiled. "Now get in there and fight," he ordered as he pointed to a ladder, leading to the cockpit in the center of the chest.
"This is the second greatest moment of my life!" Alex yelled as he ran to the ladder. He quickly began climbing. "The first was when I found Dad's magazines, if you know what I mean…" Alex said to you.
"STOP BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL, AND GO!"
"Yes sir!"
"Okay, let's go…X-…0...3…4...something…something…" Alex said as he took the controls in hand. "…Frag it! Let's go, ZERO!" Alex yelled.
BOOM!
"I could have just opened the roof ya know!" Chan screamed, but his face softened. "Love ya son."
Alex suddenly saw Tech wrestling with a Brute. The boy having a hard time getting the monster off his back...literally.
"Mind if I cut in?" Alex asked as Zero's shield did a 180, making it almost like a sword. He then sliced the arms off, killing the mecha. "Miss me?"
"ALEX!?" everyone yelled.
"Meet Zero you guys! He's the ultimate babe magnet!" Alex smiled and flew into the battle. Zero then raised his left arm and took the handgun in hand. The gun hand an over and under double barrel, which fired two bullets at once. "YEEHHAAAWWW!" Alex yelled as he opened fire on the Shadowscythe.
"Let's give him a hand!" Tech yelled and grabbed a Shadow Mega Gunner and ripped both of its arms off. HE then began using them as clubs, knocking and beating others aside.
"HA!" Caim yelled and his 'cape' suddenly shot forward and sliced the head off two Brutes. "Be careful not to lose your heads," he laughed. HE then spun around and with his foot, sliced a Ranger in half.
"YEAH!" Baron yelled, piloting his Hammer Head. He fired his silver crossbow, shooting and killing some Rangers. "Who else?!"
"Don't get overconfident, Baron!" Gal ordered, her standard mecha firing a wave of fire from her flamethrower.
"Guys!" Veronica yelled. "We got a problem!"
"What?" Olapen asked. "Frag…guys? MOBLIE BASE!"
"Mobile…HOLY FRAGGER!" Alex yelled as missiles rained from the sky. "MOVE!" Alex ordered, and fired his handgun into the air. Most of the bullets hit, but a few missiles still came down and exploded nearby.
Our heroes looked around themselves and saw hundreds of Mobile Bases coming towards them. Bullets, missiles, and lasers soared through the air at our heroes, as the line of Mobile Bases came closer.
"Look out!" Alex yelled. He turned his sword into shield mode and was met with the blasts. "Get behind me!" he ordered and every quickly did. They then began pushing through the blasts as the attacks continued. "Give me a boost!" Alex ordered.
The others looked at each other, but shrugged. Suddenly like a train they began running with their mechas, pushing Alex.
"NOW! LET GO!" Alex ordered. Veronica, who was in front, gave Alex a push forward.
With the momentum of their speed, Alex activated his thrusters, launching forward and turned his shield back into sword mode. "RAAAA!!" Alex screamed and plowed right into a Mobile Base, destroying it. He then quickly fired Zero's gun and destroyed another, and stabbed another with his sword, blowing it up.
"Come on, let's give him a hand!" Tech yelled. With a loud battle cry our heroes all charge into the war.
For hours the heroes of six fought against the army. For hours they fought, and in a few hours, victory was found. Hundreds of pieces of broken machines, debris, and other such things littered the ground.
"YEAH! You better run!" Olapen said, wiping some sweat off her brow, seeing a few stranglers run... over drive off, whatever. "I can't believe we're alive!"
"That mecha…where on Lore did you find it?" Tech asked.
"…A gift from my Father," Alex answered, flexing Zero's hand.
"Gift?"
Before further questioning could take place, Gal pointed into the sky.
"Guys! Look!"
"Ahoy!" Sys-Zero greeted from his Star Ship. "Caim! Thank you! You brought, not only the Crazy Jetpack Guy, but a group of GEARS Students!"
"Uh…My pleasure!"
"…"
"What?" Caim asked as everyone glared at him.
"Quickly on to the ship! The Shadowscythe are retreating!" Sys-Zero ordered, landing the large ship.
"Sigh…"
"When I said for you to join my school, I did not expect this."
Alex looked behind him to see Dean Warlic, walking to him. Alex stood on top of GEAR University, which looked like a futuristic castle. Alex looked up to the moon, and went back into thought.
"I know."
"…I am sorry, about your Father."
"Don't be. He died a hero. It would be how he would want it."
"…Even though. I think I have something for you," Warlic said. "I know you will seek revenge for your Father…"
"And if I do?"
"Just come on," Warlic ordered, motioning him inside as the Dean slipped through the window. The man then led Alex to a room and opened it for him.
"SURPISE!"
"AHHH! I mean…huh?"
Everyone Alex had met on his journey looked at Alex, with balloons and a large banner saying, 'CONGRATULATIONS!'
"Again. Huh?"
"Alex, come up here," Sys-Zero beckoned and Alex walked over. "For risking your own life to find your Father, for leading a group of rag-tag GEAR Students, I award you with rank of… Star Captain."
"One more time…Huh?"
"Can you say nothing else?" Baron asked.
"He means you can go after the Shadowscythe, be a part of missions to hit them hard and first, before most others," Veronica explained.
"…"
"Alex? What do you say?"
"…I'M IN!" Alex shouted.
Sys-Zero smiled and handed him a badge with the Star Captain Symbol. He then handed him the traditional outfit of a Star Captain and the two saluted the other.
"You're going to need a crew," Sys-Zero said. "For your Star Ship."
Alex nodded and walked down to his 'friends.' They looked at him and he looked at him. "You guys are the only people I know here, and I'm not very good at making friends so…" Alex said and held his hand out.
"I'm in," Caim said, putting his hand over Alex's
"Same here," Tech aggred, putting his hand over Caim's.
"Try and stop me," Baron smiled, adding his hand.
"I'm in," Olapen nodded, putting her hand on. "Just no more pervy moves!"
"Me two!" Veronica grinned, copying the process. "And I'm with Olapen."
"Um…"
"Gal?"
"If you really need me," she smiled and put her hand at the top.
"Thanks guys…" Alex admitted.
"You can thank us, when we get our pay checks," Tech said, as he and the others walked away.
"…Pay…checks?" Alex asked. "HEY!" he yelled running after them, his 'friends' laughing as they ran off.

Yeah, it sucked….
