Once again, this is a new Super Robot Wars series called Super Robot Wars RY. RY stands for "Rebel Yell," and one or both letters are a theme when naming more elements of the story.
More details including the main cast and roster are after the prologue.
A.C.W. 715
...
BANG!
A gunshot fired through a city alley. The resulting recoil sent a little boy backward and threw him to the ground. When the boy recovered, he noticed a man lying dead on the floor. He shot the guy right in the head, leaving a nearly bloodless corpse on the ground.
He turned to another boy in the streets a few years older than him. He leaned on the wall with a wounded arm and blood dripped from his head. He breathed heavily, but he was more than fine to walk on his own.
The younger child looked up to his older partner.
"Hey, what should I do now, Orga?"
The older child named Orga got off the wall and stepped forward towards the young child. He answered as he gritted his teeth.
"It's obvious. We are going."
"Going where?"
That question flustered the older child. He had no answer to that, which made sense for both of them. Neither of them had a place to go. They were orphans, orphans now stained with blood with the use of an iron-forged weapon. But for that same reason, they could not just stand around and wait to die either. That was for sure.
"We are going someplace," Orga answered. "Someplace that's far away from here. Someplace where we truly belong."
Orga's breathing returned to normal. He limped over to the downed younger child and faced him with a confident smile.
"Let's go there…together…"
A.C.W. 723
...
"Is everything prepared?"
"Yes, sir. All final checks are complete, and we have found no defects. However, I have some grave concerns."
"Is it about the limited production of these small units?"
"No, sir. It's the pilots."
"You're suggesting that we should look for more experienced pilots, aren't you?"
"…"
"Let me remind you that our available resources have dwindled over the years. Any experienced personnel would have easily noticed our hidden agenda, and we would be quickly turned in without a moment of discussion."
"It's been over 700 years since that disastrous war. Our ancestors figured they would come by then, but it seems they were bidding their time?"
"Perhaps so. But that's also why we have to use those two, even if one of the pilots is one of them."
"And even though the other was no training to speak of?"
"He will quickly learn once he gets in for the first time. The weapon won't go down easily. Besides, what's a better candidate than one who shows a lot of promise?"
"Promise? How can you be so sure?"
"You still don't understand the will of an individual. Faith in humanity can draw out a lot of strength when guided correctly. Already, he wishes to see our future grow brighter than anyone else."
"And the creature?"
"She already knows we mean no harm. How could she when we've given so much to treat her well despite the painful process? Even now, she can trust us. The two together will honor the legacy and treasures we'll leave behind when this is all over-"
BEEP! BEEP!
"What is it?"
"Emergency report from our Mars base. Control tower states long-range scanners have detected large objects are breaking through the Kuiper belt. Gradosian ships are approaching the base on Mars. ETA 2 hours."
"…"
"…"
"So it begins…"
"…"
"Lock the facility down. Have the place evacuated except for those two."
"Sir?"
"They should have their wristbands by now. Grant those two rookies unlimited access to the facility and send them a message regarding our two secret prototypes. We're counting on them."
"I…I understand."
"Now, go. Our frontal group has prepared this throughout the millennia. Now is the time to bring humanity back into the unity they have long forgotten and make a stand for themselves. For it is our rebel yell…and everyone's last best hope…for our future."
So, that's the prologue for the series. Below are the two main characters; both will be followwed through the entire story, including the second half.
* Rock Yenki- A fresh entry-level employee from Earth. Thanks to an internship sponsored by a Teiwaz, his first job was at Revolutionary Y Industries on Mars. He always embraced the belief that humanity is special by overcoming any obstacle on their own to find its place in the universe. When he learns that aliens are threatening this world, he gains a strong resolve to put humanity's will to the test.
His Super Robot-based mecha is Razonier, which is more of powered armor. This machine has a Twin-Rau Core, which compresses two spheres of nearly limitless energy and generates incredible power at the cost of stability. The Twin-Rau Core is the source of all attacks, whether it be from the machine itself or its long vibration sword Nadaka. The Razonier has some other untapped abilities undiscovered, which he discovers later as he progresses through the story.
* Yolanda Vajar- A woman who was first stated to be very cold but gained emotions after marrying and having a child. Since then, she has become mysteriously curious about "humanity" in general. Her curiosity is what got her forcibly recruited into Revolutionary Y Industries, though she received far better treatment than she expected. When the Gradosians arrive, she picks the larger of the two mechs, claiming she has piloted something similar for reasons ungiven.
Her main mecha is called the Yelljack, which has one big Rau reactor that is more stable than its counterpart. As a Real Robot, it carries a gunblade with a vibrating blade, an anti-matter sniper rifle, and kinetic energy CIWS on its head and wrists. It uses skates on its feet and a winged jetpack for flight and extra mobility.
I have some things to point out. One, the story goes down to the roots where it spans out more than one game. If I were to compare this project to the other series, I'd say it's a combination of Z2, a little bit of J, and the upcoming T together in one. Second, it is going to follow T's method in revisiting the roots of the SRW franchise. There will be a few other important locations including an alternate reality, but there is only one universe with Earth in it. The third one is going more unorthodox with the mech series by including two powered armor series, one unique mecha series, and one of my original works in development.
Below is the roster for the first half. Any entries never found in any other series are in bold:
* After War Gundam X
* Blue Comet SPT Layzner
* Code Geass R1
** Code Geass: Nightmare of Nunnally
* Full Metal Panic! S1
* Gundam 00 S1
* Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans S1
* Gundam Unicorn
* Heavy Object
* Infinite Stratos
* Knight's & Magic
* Overman King Gainer
** Rebuild of Evangelion 1.0
** Rebuild of Evangelion 2.0
* Shin Getter Robo
* Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle
There are two other series that may be included in the mix. One is the recent gen:LOCK series created by Rooster Teeth. Granted, it's barely in half a season, it takes a week or two to get a whole scenario up and gen:LOCK does not appear until very late in the story. I should have more than enough time to figure something out.
The other is an original mecha series in the making called Schwarz Cheval. I'll share more when I reach that particular series in the fic, which won't be until more than ten episodes later.
Either way, hope you're intrigued.
