Gundam TriMeister
Chapter 1: New Beginnings
The Year is U.C.2172 mankind has expanded beyond the years due to innovation and their preservation to survive the harsh environment of space.
Three new colonies were created by other colonies themselves, Sides 8-10 were constructed to house the ever growing populace of the space colonists. During the construction the Earth Federation (E.F.) were not pleased with this development. They believed that they were growing too out of their reach and control. This made them uneasy and demanded that the construction be stopped until they deem it necessary to be built.
The colonies rallied, not wanting the E.F. to control them as they tried to in the past. Thus the leader of the colonies, Dean Galude denied this notion and proceeded with the construction. Needless to say the E.F. was not pleased with this but could not openly act against this wall and so they allowed it to "save face".
Now we turn our attention to the young boys who may hold the keys to an eternal peace or the waters to put out the coming war.
August 16, U.C.2172 the E.F. cadets are graduating from the academy and preparing to be sent off to their new stations. The ceremony commencing and is under way.
The graduating class is present around 800 students ranging from different ages youngest being 17 to the oldest stopping at 26. At the podium a rather large man steps forward and begins speaking. "Today is a bright day for the Earth Federation. Everyone here has spent their time here underneath our training at this fine academy. You all have put time, effort, blood, sweat, and tears into every moment you've been here. You've all excelled under your respective courses to become mechanics, pilots, or tacticians. There is one of you who excelled under all three of these categories. Under piloting exercises he held the highest score, in mock battles he formed top tier battle strategies, and he can build a mobile suit (MS) with his eyes closed and hands tied behind his back. I give to you our top cadet and highest prospect Elijah Kaden."
The applause is deafening as the young man in his tens walks up, he is tall at 6'1 with a military buzz cut, African American descent. As he walked down he received high fives and pats on the shoulder from his fellow cadets. He walked up and shakes the man hand and takes the podium.
"We are now graduates of the academy, no longer students but military officers of the E.F. and we are to do our part in any war that may break out. To protect the earth sphere and the future of those not yet born. Let us not bring our issues over to the next generation. Thank you." He leaves the mic in a roar of applause even though his speech was short it touch the hearts who had listened.
After the ceremony and the handing of diplomas Elijah is walking around the campus. Looking at what was his home for the past five years. Lost in thought he is tackled from behind as someone jumps on his back. He stands firm knowing who it was. "Mary you're not exactly light you know." Elijah states. The girl jumps down off his back and Elijah turns to see her she is clearly pouting at his comment. She stands at 5'6 of Egyptian descent and at a petite "blessings". "Oh so your saying I'm heavy that's not very nice Elijah." She argues; Elijah laughs and pats her on the head "Well you better get used to it since we both have been station on the same battleship." She pushes his hand off her head and smiles "Yea the Maximillian lead by Captain CaHill but what you expected with us being the two highest ranked in our classes gender wise." She says. Elijah smiles softly and pulls her in close "Yea we have been competing against each other at every opportunity but this last year I say helped us grow closer." With each word he says his draws her in closer the apparent blush on her face. He smiles and their lips touch as the sun begins to set creating a splendid scene to anyone watching.
Lorenzo's story begins two years before Elijah's begins the year is U.C. 2170
A bell rings and the roar of a crowd of three hundred is heard. A ring is within view and a cage is covering it preventing escape. The smell of blood fills the air and the sounds of blows hitting flesh. Inside the cage are two figures fighting it out one is a burly man and the other a youth who looks like he is 15. The man swings at the boy grabs his arm, shifts his weight and throws him overhead to the floor. The crowd yells cheering for the boy. Everyone except two onlookers a grown man in his late twenties and a young girl with long brown hair. The man looks at girl "Is he the one Kayla?" the girl squint her eyes concentrating on the cage.
The boy leaps and superman punches man staggering him and follow up with a back heel roundhouse kick to the jaw. The man falls to the ground his jaw out of place unconscious the crowd screams for their champion still undefeated. The boy wipes the blood off his hands and walks out the cage.
The girl looks at the man and nods "He's the one, I'm sure of it." She says; the man nods and gets up with the girl following behind him.
The boy goes to the underground ring manager getting his payment of 80,000 dollars. "Thanks Paulie for everything." The boy states; the man nods with a smile "It's not a problem Lorenzo you sure you want to quit right now? I can line up at least three more fights for you this time they can be MS fights which are your specialty." Lorenzo shakes his head "I can't there are people depending on me and my death will cause them heartache you understand." Paulie looks at the boy who just two years ago came to him asking for a fight at the age of 13. Thinking the boy was crazy he denied him a fight it wasn't until Lorenzo attacked one of his train guards breaking his wrist and almost gouges out his eyeball. He had never seen nothing like it.
"Ok kid but take this I knew there was no talking you out of it so here." He pulls out a duffle bag from under his desk and opens it. It was filled with stacked bills. "This here is 400,000 dollars I want you safe kid and those little brats too. And this..." he walks to his safe pulls out a brown rectangular object and tosses it to Lorenzo. He catches it and feels that its weight a lot. He begins to unwrap it and it shines gold. Lorenzo surprised looks back at Paulie. "I can't take this you're doing too much for me." Paulie holds his hand up to stop him from talking "This is a gift from me to you it should last a long time. Be careful ok kid." Lorenzo is overwhelmed and runs to hug the man. Paulie sighs and pats his head and remembers a memory during Lorenzo's time here. When he had dislocated his arm during a fight and refused medical help. He remembers what he told Lorenzo "Take help when it's given to you. Don't deny it."
Lorenzo lets go of Paulie and leaves the room. Paulie sits back down looking out his window. "The kid came to me as a fighter; I wonder when he turned into a son to me?"
Lorenzo makes it back to his apartment and a little girl runs from around the corner to him naked. "Lorenzooo Miles won't take his bath he keeps running around leaving a trail of water everywhere." She yells, Lorenzo sighs and looks up to see Kory chasing a naked Miles laughing leaving a trail of water in his wake. "Just another day with you guys huh jeez." Lorenzo goes to his room dropping the duffle bag and putting the gold brick in his safe.
He walks back to the door "I'm going to the store please get Miles washed you guys Kory you know where the gun is and Nana put some clothes on." He leaves as he finishes his sentence.
He walks to the store picking up the groceries and leaving as he leaves he sees a girl his age get stopped by some punks "What's a cute little girl like you doing at a scary place like this?" one of them asks. She doesn't respond causing the other one to talk "Well if you come with us we'll show you a real nice time." Lorenzo cracks his neck and begins to walk over there. One of the guys puts his hand on her shoulder. She reacts and slams her hand on his forearm, a snap is heard and the guy is yelling in pain the other two is stunned and turn to the girl kicking both of them in the precious family jewels bringing them to their knees.
Lorenzo is surprised by this and watches as the girl walks past him. Whether it was him being a Newtype or just the ignorance of youth a glow emitted from her which drew him to her.
Lorenzo makes it back to the apartment and sees Miles and Nana asleep on the coach with the T.V still on. Kory is putting a blanket on them both and swiftly turns and points the 45. Caliber at him Lorenzo puts his hands up in defeat and smiles. "Good always keep it on you when I'm not home." He takes the gun from the young boy's hand and unloads it. A knock is heard from the door Lorenzo reloads the gun and answers it. "Who is it?" the figure answers with two words "Kam Bidan…" Lorenzo swings open the door and aims the gun at the man "You have 5 seconds to beg for your life."
"Lorenzo I have a…" "3 seconds." The man sighs and looks to his side. "Kayla can you stop your friend please." The same girl from earlier appears from around the doors corner. She looks at him and says two words that Lorenzo completely trusts with no reason "Trust us." He puts down his gun and walks outside and closes the door behind him. "Who are you two?" Lorenzo asks them; the man looks around sees the two children sleeping and the second oldest one next to Lorenzo with a gun on his waist. "Well Lorenzo we are Pandora and I am Captain Michi Torres and we are here to "recruit" you." Michi says; Lorenzo looks at them and says "thanks but no thanks don't need or want whatever you're offering." Michi looks at him and says "We offer you a place to live for free protection and a chance for your kids to get a proper education." Lorenzo looks at Michi "You think I don't know who you are? The terrorist group under the scenes being a thorn in the side of both the E.F. and Rebirth Zeon. Why would I align myself with you lot?" "Because Lorenzo…" the girl starts and catches Lorenzo's attention "There's a war coming the colonies are all in agreement for the first time in over 100 years they now fully support the cause of the destruction of the E.F. and wants the Earth Sphere while the E.F. wants the colonies." Lorenzo knew hostilities between the two factions were worrying but a war? Not unthinkable. Michi takes over "Newtypes will once again be used as killing machines the cycle of war will resume once again." Lorenzo looks at the two sleeping kids and then to Kory he thought about a war, no matter where he runs to protect them it will always follow. He turns to the man wanting him to join his cause to fight the E.F. and Rebirth Zeon something he was planning to do once Kory reached 15, he would leave them to take on both factions by himself. Finally he looks to the girl a small body and innocent looking face but eyes that held a look of pain as if she has seen the worst of the worst.
After much thought he looks up "Ok sir I'll join you and Mikayla but, my kids better get a top notch education and you'll have a being of pure destruction on your side." Michi smiles and says "Thank you" Kayla looks at him confused "How did you know my name?" Lorenzo looks unaware "What you mean isn't it Kayla?" "But you just said my full name Mikayla how did you…" the two stared into each other's eyes waiting for a revelation. Michi stands up pulls out his phone to contact his team looks over his shoulder and smiles. "Ha to be young and to be Newtypes."
Finally Brandon, back during the present
A young boy lies on his bed looking at the ceiling of his room. Lost in the thoughts of battle simulations and planning out strategies for the upcoming battle. Everything so far has been small skirmishes but this one will be a turning point and will be a spearhead to a new era.
He feels something on his chest he looks over and sees a girl place a food tray on him. "Are you gonna eat now finally?" she asks "He sits up and puts the food on his bed "Ok Janice I'll eat thanks for bringing this." "What would you do without me Brandon?" "Probably starve to death he chuckled." Probably oh yea the Captain wanted to see you as well something about the mission." Brandon gets up grabs a sandwich off the tray and walks up to Janice. "You know I love you right?" She is surprised by his words and becomes flustered. Brandon lifts her head by her chin and kisses her forehead. "You fell in love with a Newtype, knowing we almost never have a happy ending as if we are cursed. I will return to you always because you are "the gravity that bears down on my soul bringing me back." Brandon says leaving the room. Janice stands there holding her hands to her chest. "Beware of the gravity of battle as it will draw you in to your destruction." She says to herself.
Brandon making his way to the Command Center (C.C) of the ship eating his sandwich on the way there he runs into two more people. One being a normal sized teen with long blond hair tied to keep it out of his eyes and a dark skinned teen. Brandon salutes them and they do the same. "John, Rob you two heading to the Captain too?" They both nod "It's my first actual battle I'm kind of nervous." John says being the youngest of the three. Rob pats his shoulder "Don't worry about it just follow the teams lead and complete your orders. You'll be fine rook." Rob reassures him. They talk as they make their way to the C.C and see the Captain on deck. They salute making their presence known. "Ahh you're here good, now we can debrief you three. I've already given orders to Kyle and Lawrence there in the hanger prepping for launch, now our orders are simple but highly important so success is a mandatory element." The two boys gulp and Brandon steels his expression. The Captain continues. "We are to break the Federation space line and enter orbit to the Earth." The boys stand stunned as they heard the orders. Brandon speaks up "Captain Weiler are you saying…" "Yes that's exactly what I'm saying the top brass have come to a conclusion; War against the Earth Federation will commence and we are the first to strike." Brandon looks at the Captain in the eyes and turns and leaves the room rushing to the Hanger. John tries to stop him but couldn't. "Let him be he has been preparing for this day all his life and now the time have come. You two head over to the Hanger and begin preparations for battle the Olympus is almost ready for departure from Side 3." They are dismissed and head after Brandon.
Brandon now wearing his space suit climbs up to his M.S. the interface comes up and a voice comes out of the computer "Hello Brandon I have downloaded the mission information on to my hard drive. Awaiting your orders." "Thanks Hermes, we wait until we reach the starting point then launch. That's when I will take command and give out orders." Brandon states, a knock is heard and Brandon steps out seeing his team in front of him John, Rob, Kyle and Lawrence.
"This is it huh." Kyle says "We are spear heading the start of a war our victory will show the strength of the colonies." Lawrence says with a firm voice. John nods and Rob crosses his arms and looks at Brandon "What are our orders Shadow?" Brandon looks over them and sits on the open hatch. "When we launch you will follow my orders I have already formed a plan to attack the defensive space line in one go. We will destroy the Federation and see a new future unfold before us."
The sounds of alarms are ringing as staff are preparing for the departure of the Olympus, an Musaka-class cruiser as the rockets flare up and it begins to leave the hanger and make it way into space heading for earth.
