Mission One: The Beginning

"This battle is a holy war in the name of God. We shall strike down the infidels who disrespect our traditions and lay waste to the land of God. We must not submit to the infidels. By dying in battle we shall be led into the presence of God!"

The audio loop kept playing over the ruins of the small village as a young boy, no older than ten or so, with jet black hair and yet darker eyes, runs down a back alley, machine gun in hand. He lets out a gasp as he rounds a corner, running out of breath as the building sized, tan war machine comes into view. The head turns, turret turning with it. The red optic glared at the young boy as the child opened fire, bullets pinging off the machine's armor. As the machine's turret began to spin up to operating velocity, the shriek of a rocket tears off behind it, an explosion rocking the machine over, falling just short of the child as he runs away, fearing the imminent explosion. Just as he rounds another bend, the explosion occurs, a burst of purple smoke filling the alley. The boy falls to his knees, exhausted after the mad dash, when he looks up, to find another of the massive war machines staring him down, turret nearly spun up.

Before he can react, a blast of light filled the air as a thin beam of light appeared, running straight through the machine's head. It falters, before exploding, the smoke flying around the boy. He looked up, as more beams flew through the air, slicing up the remaining war machines amid the ruins. There, floating above him, was a machine, pure white, with red and gold markings, flying on iridescent wings of energy, it's human like face looking down on him, not anywhere else, but him specifically. It was that moment, that would lead to the world changing.

The year is 2307 AD, and the power of the Great Nations have fallen thanks to the loss of fossil fuels. Three coalitions of nations, the Union of Shinobi Villages, the Samurai Reformation League, and the Advanced Akatsuki Coalition have formed of the remains, and they worked together to create the solar power generation system, formed of rings of solar cells surrounding the earth, tethered by three Orbital Elevators, one belonging to each of the coalitions. The Union of Shinobi Villages, formed of the former five great nations, housed in the broken up islands of the Land of Water, specifically the remains of Mizugakure, the Samurai Reformation League, around the elevator in what was once the Land of Iron, sandwiched between the conglomerated remains of the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, and finally the Advanced Akastuki Coalition, centered around the elevator at the former Konohagakure.

These three world powers have been locked in a zero-sum game ever since the creation of the towers. Along with the towers came the creation of mobile suits, humanoid mecha capable of high performance combat. Over the years, these suits have been refined, reworked, and remade into high class killing machines, not dissimilar to their human predecessors, constantly creating new models.

Today, the AAC has chosen to unveil just one such new model, the Enact. In a viewing arena on a private military base, a demonstration is being performed for the press. All is silent as auto turrets scan the area, targets swiveling with them. A burst of motion fills the sky, and a light green and gray suit flies by, gun blazing as each target is locked onto and destroyed. It lands, before turning to raise and spin it's defense rod as a hail of bullets is launched at it. It follows up with a few quick bursts, the bullets tearing through the targets.

Amid the onlooking crowd, a young man with long, pulled back hair sits and watches, applauding in all the right places. His name, is Jiraiya Katagiri, and he is a mobile suit developer for the Union. As he looks on, he finds his musings interrupted by another voice.

"So, this is the AAC's new model, huh? The Enact..."

"Orchimaru, you old snake! What brings you to this little demonstration? Should the ace of M squadron even be here?"

"Of course not! just checking out what new things are being put out these days. This is the model that runs off solar energy, yes?"

"Yea, gotta say, it's nothing like their older models. Guess the AAC want's to make up for their solar tower not being finished just yet by making their mobile suits state of the art."

"Suppose so, but on the same day as the Samurai Reformation League' tenth anniversary? Talk about adding insult to injury. So what so do you think of it?"

"In all honesty, it's just a nicely dolled up knockoff of our Flag model. Really only the exterior is original."

"YOU THERE! WHAT DID YOU SAY? I CAN HEAR YOU!" A voice broadcasts over the stadium as the Enact comes to a halt in front of the stands, the cockpit opening up as the pilot stood outside. There was nothing to do but chuckle at that for Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

"At least it's got good sound pickup."

High above, unseen to the viewers below, a different mobile suit is arriving, falling nearly straight down toward the base, as light pours out of a conical protrusion on it's back.

"240082 Exia has target location in sight. Cease GN Chakra dispersal upon arrival at target." A blip on the cockpit's forward monitors, and a window appears, revealing a zoomed in image of the Enact. "Target confirmed. Commencing first phase on schedule."

Within the command center of the base, another alert goes off, this one on a young officer's monitor.

"Captain! Incoming Silhouette, sir!"

"What? Get me a visual!"

Another window appears with a beep, zooming in on the incoming form. The blue and white object was almost human in shape, a massive object attached to it's right arm and currently swung backwards underneath it.

"Damn it, who ordered this?! Don't they know there's a demonstration going on?"

"S-Sir, it's not one of ours!"

"WHAT? GET ME THE ENACT!"

On the demonstration field, the pilot finds his com-link blipping. A quick tap to his helmet and a voice fills his ears, a young lieutenant informing him of the incoming bogey. He glances up, catching sight of the incoming light, before hopping down into the control seat, the cockpit reseating itself within the torso of the Enact.

"Alright buddy, who do you think you are? Don't you know who I am? I'm Kakashi Hatake, and I've never lost a mock battle!"

He fiddled with the controls a moment, before returning his hands to the twin joysticks attached to the sides of the cockpit as screens light up around him, making it seem as if the walls were transparent. With a flick of his wrist, the Enact rose, it's arm sliding to a side holster.

As the Enact was preparing, the other machine finally reached the ground. With a snap, the body flipped upright, the light flooding out of the cone in earnest as the machine hovered a few meters above the ground. As all this was happening, in the stands, a man reached for his phone, dialing a number and speaking.

"Enact, can you hear me Enact? Damn it, I can't get through."

Overhearing this, Jiraiya turned to Orochimaru, a look of surprise evident on his old friend's face.

"So, another new model? Wonder what this one's capable of, but by the looks of it it's not the AAC's, so then whose..."

At this, Orochimaru snapped his arms out, snagging a pair of binoculars that the man in front of him was holding. He quickly sighted them, zooming in on the head unit of the new machine.

"HEY!"

"I said excuse me. Gun...dam. Gundam? Is that the name of the unit or the pilot?"

"Regardless, looks like it's not doing much. Maybe the pilot-"

Jiraiya was cut off as the screech of a sonic blade filled the air, bringing several people to their knees as the glass walls of the viewing stand shattered.

"What the hell is that idiot doing?" A random military personnel yelled as the Enact brought it's now unsheathed blade to bear on the new model.

"You! You interrupted a mock battle! I've never lost a mock battle, and I'm not about to start now!"

In a blaze of movement, the long attachment to the right arm of the now named Gundam swung forward into position, locking into place with an ominous click. An instant later and it's purpose was all to clear as it sliced through the metal of the Enact's arm with ease, the massive hand and blade flying off to slam into the ground several meters away, the blade slowly vibrating down. Another blaze, and the Enact found itself armless, legless, and headless as the torso fell back, a voice heard screaming.

"I'VE NEVER LOST A MOCK BATTLE!"

That scream echoed over the arena as the Gundam turned it's head to almost glare at the audience, before turning away, the light bursting out of it's back as it took flight, leaving a screaming Kakashi standing on top of his destroyed mobile suit.

"You've gotta give them credit for pilot safety."

Aboard the Gundam, a moment passes before the pilot talks to himself.

"Phase one complete, moving to phase two."

High above the atmosphere, hidden by the orbital rings, a ship revolves around the earth, slowly, almost lazily. Within the ship, however, is another story. Aboard the cockpit, four young men and women are waiting at computer terminals, calculating and preparing.

"Exia has just passed the scheduled end period for phase one. It is predicted that he is now moving to phase two, on schedule."

"That's great Feldt, now let's hope their luck holds up."

Not a fifty kilometers out from the base of the AAC's orbital elevator leading to the solar collection ring, a green mobile suit stands vigil over the base, watching through the scope on it's massive rifle.

"I read you Exia, this is Gundam Dynames, Lockon Stratos. Moving to phase two, targeted and firing!"

A twitch of the finger, and the rifle fires, the pink beam of light tearing through the sky to cut through three mobile units standing at attention.

"Captain! Incoming attack from twelve o'clock!"

"What? Where are they attacking from? All unit's, prepare for combat, we're under attack!"

A klaxon sounds as mobile suits practically come out of the woodwork, standing at the ready for the imminent attack. Unfortunately for them, they weren't the only ones prepared. Before the mobile suits could begin to find the target, a beam flies through the air, cutting through ranks of units before their pilots could even react. Several follow up shots quickly fill the air, as tens of mobile suits are downed. A smirk appeared on Lockon's face as he continued firing, precision shots taking out almost a hundred units in under an hour.

A rush of air, and Exia flew past him, finally reaching the target. The Gundam flew into the heat of things, slicing and dicing through the remaining mobile suits. As the blue blur cut through them, the Captain in charge of the base made a drastic decision.

"Call out the reserve forces, otherwise we'll be slaughtered here!"

From within the orbital elevator, hundreds of units appeared, crawling out to fight the invaders. Unfortunately for the base, it was not to be. As Exia finished the units on the ground, Dynames turned it's rifle skyward, cutting through the units like a hot knife through butter. Almost an hour later, the last unit was finished off as the blade of Exia cut through the final little bit of metal. Turning together, the two Gundam flew off, a destroyed base in their wake.

"Phase two complete. Awaiting the completion of phase three."

Again, the ship, still floating, watches on, it's sensory range dedicated to ensuring that it's not discovered.

"Phase two has been completed as judged by the emergency communications coming from the base. Now awaiting confirmation of phase three's completion."

Amid the solar collection system attached to the low orbital ring, an orange waverider-type dashes among the ring's collectors, slowly approaching the target; the low orbital station. Within, a pilot wearing a similarly colored orange uniform sighs, looking at the reflection of himself on the cockpit's monitors.

"Gundam Kyrios, Allelujah Haptism, initiating phase three. Here we go, Hallelujah."

To his right, three purple mobile suits, outdated by a couple years by the looks, rose up, charging forward to attack the tower.

"Shit, didn't expect them to be quite so punctual. Here we go!" The waverider shot after the group, succeeding in catching up at the last minute. A flash, and the waverider was a mobile suit, tearing into the back of the rearmost unit. As it exploded, Kyrios was already moving on. He fired again, cutting through the second unit's arms as the beams flew, but was too late to catch the third unit. The purple suit had reached the minimum distance for it's weapons and drew them about to open fire.

Inside the station, people had been watching the windows as the oncoming mobile suits had approached, before the rear two had been destroyed by a fourth unit that had seemingly come out of no where. No sooner had that happened than the third purple unit rose it's weapons, aiming straight for the station. A woman screamed, a man fainted, and a child began to cry. Amid the chaos, one young woman floated in the low gravity, waited with her attendant, each in clothes not dissimilar to those of the chinese people of another world.

"So, dearest brother, what do you think of their capabilities?"

"My mistress, we really should be going. The military personnel have already taken leave, and all that remains are the civilians and the odd press member."

"Just wait, dear brother, and see."

As she said the words, another unit flew up, almost completely blocking the windows with it's bulk; a very bulky humanoid, all in white, with a large black container on each limb, and an immense device in it's hands. Within the massive suit's cockpit, a purple suited pilot chuckled to himself.

"Gundam Virtue, Tieria Erde. Initiating GN Chakra Field." At this, a massive purple shield formed around the unit as the lower two containers cracked open, purple particles flying out, and extending to protect the front of the station. A rocket slammed the shield, followed by several of it's brethren, before the barrage halted, as more of the purple units came out from behind the solar ring.

"So, you brought some friends, huh? Charging GN Bazooka." As the field continued to hold up to the assault, the massive device in the unit's hands began to glow as a concentration of the purple particles formed in the base of it, and the containers attached to it's arms shifted to be over it's shoulders, the fronts opening as huge barrels extended outward. A beep in the cockpit, and a second later the pilot gave off a smirk.

"Canceling GN Chakra Field. GN Bazooka, FIRING!" At these words, the device glowed, before a wave of energy filled the air in front of the unit, every barrel contributing to an immense whole. The wave slammed into the small army of units, vaporizing them in explosions of smoke. As the beam broke off, all those inside the station could see was that the two new units had just destroyed a terrorist attack entirely, with lethal force. The woman turned to her brother, a smirk appearing on her face.

"Have faith, dear brother. The Gundam Meisters are here."

Author's Note: Welcome to the newest story by your's truly, GN-NINJA. This will be a volatile mix of Naruto's cast, with the technology of Gundam 00, in the future of the Ninja world. Bear in mind, this is set tens of hundreds of years after when Naruto would have taken place, and the villages have long since been abolished. For easy reference for rough placement of factions (Though bear in mind these aren't exactly the factions of Naruto past.) The Advanced Akastuki Coalition, the future present of the Akatsuki, the Union of Shinobi Villages, formed from the wreckage of the five Great Villages after their defeat at the hands of the Akatsuki when the original invasion occurred, due to the absence of the pivotal character (Naruto). The Samurai Reformation League took control of their area soon after, consolidating power to avoid the same happening to them. Several advancements in technology took place over the ensuing centuries, including spaceflight, and the innovation of mobile suits. Bear in mind due to characters combining over the course of my writing this, some characters may exhibit reactions of their counterparts from either world. Also, yes I do know that this is little more than a rewrite of the first episode of Gundam 00, but be aware that the rest will come with time.

For reference, these are the nations, their counterparts, and their casual designations:

AAC-Advanced Akatsuki Coalition (Akatsuki)-AEU-Advanced European Union

USV-Union of Shinobi Villages (Five Greats)-Union-Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations

SRL-Samurai Reformation League (Samurai/Civilians)-HRL-Human Reform League
