So here's the first real chapter. Introductions abound. Hope you enjoy.

Ike, Joshua and Sain walked down the crowded streets of Crimea in somber silence. Every television. Every paper, showed scenes of the Serenes Massacre. Joshua was absently flipping a coin as they padded through the thronging crowds. That day had been a shock to them all. Ike's father, Gawain, had been one of Daein's Four Riders, the best pilots in the army. Having seen the devastation Daein was able to commit, Gawain took his two children, changed his name to Greil, and fled in repulsion to Crimea. Joshua's mother, Ismaire requested that Greil take Joshua with him, and Sain had snuck aboard their transport. After their landing, Greil had made his way to Melior, the colony's biggest Research and Development center. Seven days had passed, and Greil hadn't left Melior. After a week without hearing from his father, Ike had finally had enough, and set out for Melior himself. Mist, Ike's sister, trailed behind the three, silently wishing things could go back to they way they were.

"So, this Melior… there should be some lovely ladies there, one would suppose!" Sain said, trying to ease the tension. Joshua sighed.

"It's just too bad gambling is against the law here in Crimea. Though I'd wager that Sain will get shot down enough to make up for it." The red-head said, straitening his hat.

"Hey!" Sain shouted.

"Now now, Joshua. Just because it's true doesn't mean we need to pick on poor Sain." Ike said, smirking.

"Not you as well, Ike! At least the lovely Mist will stand beside me, right?" Sain implored, glancing at Mist.

"Sorry, Sain. But they're right." Mist said, smiling. Sain hung his head.

"Stop sulking Sain. We're almost there." Ike stated, looking down at his map. " I think."

Greil rubbed at his eyes tiredly. He had spent the last week giving his knowledge of Mobile Suits to Crimea to help them combat Daein. Greil sighed as he looked at Reyson, Prince of Serenes.

"So, what you're saying is that you and your men captured one of these… Gundams?" Greil asked. Reyson shook his head.

"Not my men, his." Reyson said, nodding his head to a man no older than Greil's own son.

"Gawain, this is Captain Innes of the battleship Renais. His second, Soren, and the ace pilots of the Renais, Zihark and Nephenee." Innes nodded to Greil.

"Using the Renais and our Mobile Suits we were able to capture the SERX 1588 Regal. We also managed to rescue Reyson here." Innes shifted his stance somewhat, and his piercing grey eyes stared at Greil.

"What we want to know, is if you'll pilot it." Innes stated simply.

"Why me?" Greil asked, trying to find some way out of it. To avoid the war.

"You were a Rider after all. You are by far the best choice. Besides that, you have the most experience." Soren said, looking at Greil with a bored expression. Greil nodded. He had already guessed that.

"I don't have much choice, do I?" Innes and Soren simultaneously shook their heads.

Leanne was jostled roughly as the Zaku-Class Myrmidon was rocked by another blast. The Myrmidon was a speed-oriented Mobile Suit, and Lyn's personal Myrmidon II was no exception. It was a dark green, and carried a single laser sword, with only a small rifle for long range. With Leanne in her lap, Lyn was struggling to get away from a group of GM-Class Cavaliers. They were almost inside the colony of Crimea, and would soon be with Leanne's brother, who was in the care of the Renais. Somewhere behind her was the Daein Battleship Grado, captained by none other than Lloyd, the White Wolf. Suddenly, she heard a low rumble, and a voice came across the speakers in the cockpit of the Myrmidon II.

"You will not escape, Princess. My king has need of your services." Lyn turned around, and saw, to her utter terror, the Alondite. One of the stolen prototypes, now battle tested and improved, the Alondite had been given as a gift to the strongest of the Four Riders, The Black Knight. The ebon Gundam featured a rail gun on one arm, and a long laser sword attached to the other. Lyn spun the Myrmidon II back towards Crimea, and pushed the boosters to their limit. The Alondite raised the rail gun, and fired off a single shot.

Ike nearly ran down the halls. He was tired of the secrets. He was tired of calling his father and getting no answer, or being told that everything was alright, and that he needed to have patience. Ike was just about to open a set of double doors, when a loud explosion rocked the building. Ike spun around, to see Sain tackle Mist to the ground. Mere seconds later, a half-wrecked Myrmidon crashed into the hallway the four had just came from. Joshua jumped back in surprise, and Ike heard the cockpit open.

"We're under attack! Zihark, Nephenee, to arms! Soren, prepare the Renais to launch. We need to fight our way out of here, and rendezvous with the Princess and Lyn." Innes shouted. Soren nodded, and ran for the door. Nephenee and Innes readied their sidearms, while Zihark drew out a long saber. Greil nodded to Innes.

"Let's go."
