SD Gundam Fan Fiction ❯ SD Gundam Force Adventure ❯ Gundams From Space ( Chapter 32 )

Welcome to Neotopia, city of the future. Yeah, I know, you've heard it all before. And I know you know about how robots and humans live together in perfect harmony, and about the Gundam Force that protects that harmony from inter-dimensional threats. But, y'know what? Now that I know about other dimensions, I wonder about other worlds in this dimension. I wonder, are we alone…?

 

Gundams From Space

 

If there's one thing everyone can and will agree on, it's that the stars look beautiful on a clear night. There's nothing like staring up at into the darkness of the sky and seeing all those little lights in the distance. In Neotopia, it was a little difficult, as at night the lights in the city made things a little too bright, even in the twilight, to stargaze.

Shute, living in the suburbs of Neotopia and not the city itself, did not have this problem, as he adjusted his telescope. After a half hour of begging, Shute had gotten permission from his mother Keiko to stay up late and stargaze.

“Hey, Captain, do you think there's life in outer space?” Shute asked as he adjusted his telescope.

“That's very possible, Shute,” Captain answered, “As the existence of alternate dimensions are now confirmed, the possibility of extra-terrestrial life is even greater.”

“It'd be so cool if we could meet an alien,” Shute commented, looking through the scope, “I wonder what aliens are like- hey, check this out.” Shute gestured for Captain to look through the telescope, “Don't you think that shooting star is acting funny?”

Captain looked through the telescope as Shute bid him to and had to agree. Was that light in the sky moving?

Deep in space, not too deep that you couldn't see from a nearby planet(like Earth!) but far enough that you'd need a telescope to tell what was going on, two mighty warriors clashed. One had a beautiful blue aura, while the other had blackish-red aura. Though their auras made it difficult to distinguish between the two as far as shape was concerned, the blue warrior had two eyes while the black-red had a singular eye in the middle.

The blue warrior fired several bolts from its aura, which struck the black-red warrior. Apparently enraged, the black-red lunged at the blue one and two spun towards the nearby blue planet.

Back on terra firma, Shute and Captain watched in amazement as the light they were watching became bigger and bigger…until they no longer needed a telescope to see it descend to Earth! Wide-eyed, the pair looked on to see the light crash into the ground not too far away!

“Uwah! Did you see that!?” Shute yelled, pointing.

Before Captain could reply, Shute took off in the aforementioned direction.

“C'mon!” Shute yelled over his shoulder.

At the crash site, one of the two figures made its way out of the crater that was created upon their abrupt landing. After taking a moment to relax, it glanced back into the center of the crater, glaring at its occupant through its single eye. Suddenly, it heard something.

“I think it landed here!”

“Shute, slow down, it's not a good idea to rush into things.”

The being, not wanting to interact with any other beings any more than it had to, took action by leaving the area, moving as fast as it could.

After it left, Shute and Captain came onto the scene.

“Whoa…” Shute gaped, staring at the crater, “It's huge!”

That may have been an understatement, but Captain had to agree that the crater was very large, being twenty feet in diameter. However, in the very center of it was something vaguely shaped like a person. It lay unmoving, spread eagle, and Captain couldn't help but detect a faint emission of energy coming from it. When Shute made to jump and get a closer look at whatever it was, Captain caught him by his arm.

“That's not safe,” he warned, “It's emitting a type of energy that does not match up in my database.”

Shute, a little disappointed, looked down at it. “But what is it?” He wondered aloud.

“I'll contact the SDG and have it examined,” Captain said. He couldn't help but wonder if the object looked familiar somehow.

Suddenly, there was a beeping noise.

“Huh?” Shute pulled out his cell phone and flipped it on. “Hello?”

“Shute, you come back here this instant!”

Shute held the phone away from him in reaction to his mother's voice. He looked at Captain uneasily.

“You should get to bed,” Captain told him, having a good estimate on the odds that Shute was in trouble fro running off like he did, “I'll stay here and keep watch until a GunPerry comes arrives.”

“Oh, okay,” Shute turned to go back home, “See ya tomorrow, Captain.”

As Shute ran back to his house(and subsequently to whatever punishment Keiko had in store) Captain turned back to look at the thing in the crater. What was it?

The next morning, after being chewed out once more by his mom for running off into the night the night before, Shute went to Blanc Base to get a better look at what ever caused that crater.

“It's in here,” a SDG GM directed, and Shute entered the room. What he saw lying on the table before him could not be believed.

It was a Gundam.

It was similar to Captain in basic shape, such as its shoulder pads and metal `skirt', but it appeared more streamlined than Captain. Its coloring was also different. All four of its limbs were gundanium white, while its torso was blue and red. It also had, for some reason, two V-fins, one on top of the other; A longer silver V-fin under the shorter gold one.

“This is, this is…” Shute could barely get the words out, as he was so astounded, “This is unbelieveable!”

“That's what I thought when I saw it,” a voice besides him said. Shute looked up and saw Juli standing next to him.

“But this fell from space…” Shute replied, looking back at the mysterious gundam, “Didn't it?”

“Well, officially, all gundams on this planet were made by the SDG,” explained Juli, “And though Kao Lyn IS making another unit for service, this isn't it.”

`Another Gundam,' Shute thought, `Is she talking about Madnug?' The gundam from the future was made by the SDG, but aside from that, Shute didn't know anything about his origins. Then something Juli said clicked in his mind.

“Hold on!” he said suddenly, “If no one on Earth made this Gundam, then that means aliens did!”

Juli looked thoughtful. “You might be right, Shute. But unless it reactivates and tells us, we'll never know for sure.”

…Internal power-up complete. All systems online.

The gundam's eyes flashed to life, now alert and full of life. Sitting up, it gave its new surroundings a quick look around.

Currant location unknown. Where am I? Have I been captured by enemy forces?

It then heard some voices it did not recognize.

“So what are you going to try now?” A voice that sounded pre-pubescent asked.

“As soon as we're done backing up all of our data, Kao Lyn's going to try to tap into its AI.” An older sounding voice replied.

Two confusions;

Why do these beings speak basic?

Am I `it'?

It was at this moment that a third voice sounded off, but this one sounded odd. Though the speaker sounded older than the first two, it spoke with a vigor and energy that exceeded both.

“O..kay! Hoo-wah! We're all set! Time to pick this guy's brain! Yow!”

The phrase `pick his brain' did not do anything to ease the gundam's growing sense of panic. So it did what at the time seemed most rational. It bolted.

“Will this work?” Shute asked. Kao Lyn was carrying a laptop into and planned to use it to link up with the gundam.

“We'll soon find out,” Kao Lyn replied, “I just hope this fella is compatible with Windows- it's gone!”

On the lab table where the gundam was last seen was empty space.

“It was there a minute ago!” Shute yelled, looking all over, “It's not like it could've…walked away…”

There was silence.

“What I don't understand is where the GMs Chief Haro placed here went,” Juli said, “they were supposed to keep an eye on the gundam!”

It was that moment two SDG GMs entered the room from a side door, talking amongst themselves.(See if you can guess what episode they premiered in!)

“No, I disagree,” One GM said in a meek voice, “I believe Optimus Prime is stronger than Kinnikuman,”

“Yeah, stronger,” the other GM said in a somewhat more energetic tone replied, “But Kinnikuman's got wrestling moves and burning inner power. If it came down to fight, it'd be Kin' all the…”

The conversation halted when the two realized they were being stared at. They then realized that the gundam on the lab table was gone.

“I suppose taking our five minute breaks at the same time was a mistake,” the meek one conceded.

As the gundam ran down the halls of Blanc Base, it heard an announcement over the PA.

“Attention all personal! Be on the lookout for a rogue gundam wandering throughout headquarters! Please contact central command if you have seen it. Be sure to proceed with caution. Thank you and have a nice day. This message will repeat.”

The gundam knew from that announcement that now the entire base would be on the watch for him(A/N: I'm tired of using `it'), so he'd better hurry if he wanted to avoid capture.

“Hey! There he is!”

At one end of the corridor, a squad of twelve GMs were running at him. Grabbing a nearby SDG Ball, the Gundam threw it at the GM squad, who were coincidentally running in a triangle formation. When the Ball made contact, the GMs were knocked away at the sound of a comical crashing noise. Though this little maneuver didn't knock all of them out, the ones still standing stumbled dizzily around.

The gundam took this as his cue to leave.

“Where is it?” Chief Haro asked. He, along with Kao Lyn, Shute and Captain were at...the usual stand where the SDG prepared to launch units. Juli was typing furiously at her computer, her visor down.

“It's near the cafeteria- wait, strike that, it took another turn.” Juli replied, not taking her eyes off the screen, “It's heading towards the simulation room, sir.”

“Try to steer it there,” Captain spoke up, “I think if I can calm it down if I confront it,”

“Do you think you can subdue it, Captain?” Asked Chief Haro.

“I'll try, sir.”

Meanwhile, the gundam from space was having difficulty finding an exit. Certain doors wouldn't open, while others opened before he got to them. Eventually, he found himself inside an empty room that seemed devoid of any sign that it was being used, just cleaned.

What is this room?

“Will you please calm down?” a voice behind him asked, “We're not going to hurt you.”

Slowly turning around, the gundam found himself staring at another gundam!

“You're a…gundam?” the mystery gundam asked.

“Yes,” Captain answered.

“And you speak my language?” The gundam asked.

“Apparently so,” Captain answered.

A brief silence followed.

“My name is Captain Gundam,” Captain introduced, saluting.

The other gundam stared for a moment, before slowly returning the salute.

“I am...Orion.” He said.

Maybe it was something about the way Captain held himself, maybe it was the unspoken bond between gundams in general, or maybe it was some laziness on the author's part, but somehow Orion couldn't help but trust Captain Gundam.

“I thought my planet was the only one with gundams,” said Orion.

“And I thought Blanc Base was the only one that produced gundams,” Captain replied, “Why don't you tell us about it?”

Meanwhile, on a building in the city, two mysterious beings appeared in a two respective beams of light…

Back in the simulation room, Orion was seated in a chair while Chief Haro, Shute and Captain stood around him.

“I was constructed on the planet Terra-Junyor, a world that probably exists outside this galaxy,” Orion began.

“Probably?” Shute scrunched his face trying to make sense of that.

“I will explain that soon enough,” Orion said before continuing, “Currently, Terra-Junyor is being attacked by a race of beings called the Zaft. I was built for the purpose of repelling the invaders.”

`That sounds familiar,' Captain thought to himself. He too, originally, was designed and constructed to fight a singular foe, that being the Dark Axis.

“What are the people that made you like?” Shute asked eagerly, “Are they like, bug-eyed little guys with green skin?!”

“No,” answered Orion simply, “They actually resemble the humans of Earth to the most part.” Orion didn't understand why Shute looked so disappointed.

“Wait,” Chief Haro said, “If all this is going on in another galaxy, what are you doing here?”

“During a battle in space against one of the Zaft's warriors,” Explained Orion, “I and he fell into some kind of wormhole that deposited us above your planet. Afterward we both fell and landed on your terrain.”

Haro's ears flipped big-time. “There were two in that crater!?”

Orion looked at him, confused. “Yes, there was. Why are you so surprised?”

“Orion, we only found you in that hole!” Shute yelled.

Orion looked at Shute suddenly. “What? Where is the Zaft?”

“We don't know!”

In the city, a mono-eye observed the going-ons…
