Prologue:
------------
"A Child from A Distant Star"
It was a cool winter night and the Amami's has just finished celebrating their first year as a couple. After eating dinner at a famous restaurant and a few walks in the park, the couple now heads for home aboard their white van. Snow slowly drops from the sky.
"The snow falls beautifully, ain't it, dear?" asked the wife.
"Yes. It almost seemed that the world is at peace now," answered the husband.
From the distance, something fell from the sky.
"Ah! A falling star..." said the wife.
"Yeah, it's a nice one, hmmm..." replied the husband. Then he notices his wife praying. "Huh? What are you doing"
"I'm wishing on that falling star...for a child," she said and looked back at him.
"Err...okay then..." he blushed.
Suddenly, a strange light is glowing in front of them coming from a distance. Slowly it gets larger and larger, until the husband could see that it was a giant beast heading their way. In panic, he tries to break and turn around, but there was a rumble on the ground causing him to lose control. Fortunately, the giant stopped, allowing the wind force to pile up the snow in front of the van, stopping its movement, but its passengers were unharmed.
"A...are you all right, Ai?" asked the husband. Before she could answer, the giant let out a growl to get their attention. The couple then looked at the giant, horrified. "A...a...lion?"
The lion, which is made of metal steel, lowered its head, looking straight at the terrified couple. It then slowly opens its mouth. The terrified husband then starts to make a run for it.
"Yaaaah! It's going to eat us!" he shouted.
"Wait!"
she grabbed her husband by the arm to keep him from running. As the
wife looked further, she could see that inside the lion's mouth was a
baby boy smiling and laughing as he slowly crawls out of the mouth.
"There's a kid in there?"
Quickly the wife went towards the lion and took the baby out. As soon as the baby is out, the lion slowly gets up and begins to fly away from sight.
"Wha...what was that all about?" asked the husband.
As the two continue to watch the sky beyond the sight of the lion, it is unknown to them that child's forehead glows out a green light marked with the letter "G", then slowly fades.
That event took place 8 years ago...

"Burning PT"
"Welcome, everyone to the 5th Annual Burning PT Ace of Aces Tournament!" the announcer shouts toward the crowd inside Tokyo Dome. "For months, more than 5 million players from around the globe have participated in this year's tournament, each one claiming to be the best of all bests! With each passing minute, hour, day, week, and month, we see some players rise and some players fall. Now, after a long journey and engaging fierce battles, only 2 remain. These 2 finalists will battle it out for the ultimate prize: 750,000 Yen and the title of 'Ace of Aces', this year's Burning PT Champion!"
The crowd then roared across the dome, everyone is all hyped up to witness the final match for the championship.
"Before we introduce you all to the 2 finalists, let us first take a look back at how this phenomenon started it all.
The
Burning PT arcade game is the work of Piazza, a then-small company that
just released its first game for the arcade market. The company's
creative originality, concept, and taste for action have influenced
them to make Burning PT the greatest arcade game of all time. The feel
of piloting a robot close to that of today's modern day robots have
caught the attention of gamers around the world. Soon, Piazza became a
software company giant and since then, have done an excellent job of
keeping Burning PT updated and well performed to keep players coming
back and compete for more"
As the announcer continues to narrate the
history of Burning PT, backstage, Ryusei Date prepares himself for his
big entrance, wearing his home-made pilot costume (having a purple and
blue jacket, white pants and blue boots) and keeping his short hair as
stylish with a little gel for appearance bonus. Just then, Kusuha
Mizuha, Ryusei's childhood friend, approaches him. "Well, this is it,
Ryusei-kun."
"Yeah, Kusuha-chan!" Ryusei replies. "I'm all set to show the world what a pilot really does inside the cockpit!"
Kusuha just giggled, seeing how excited Ryusei is. It's always been his dream that one day he would be like his idols, Mazinger Z, Getter Robo, and the Gundam. And every time Ryusei starts playing Burning PT, he always shouts out his attack despite that the game's controls are NOT voice-activated. But then, she noticed that Ryusei's mood changed quickly as Ryusei places his palms on the table and looking down, sighing. "Is there anything wrong, Ryusei-kun?"
"To be honest,
Kusuha-chan, I'm nervous. I'm nervous that I would lose my match
against Tenzan. He's been playing since the first Burning PT and has
been a champion many times"
"But you've beaten him before last year,
isn't it? Besides, even if you do lose, you would still have enough
money to pay for the hospital bill for your mother"
"I know that,
but there are other things I need to pay as well, like my debt to my
relatives and such as well as the electric bills and all. I thinking
that I will not go to college and just find work to make up some money"
"But Ryusei-kun! Your mother told you not to do that! She wants you to use the prize money to study at Tokyo University"
"But
mom had been working so hard to raise me ever since dad passed away...I
need to do my part for her. I don't want her to suffer so much,
Kusuha-chan"
"Ryusei-kun"
"Mr. Date," someone came in and called. "You and Mr. Nakajima are up. Please proceed to the stage now"
"Well, I guess this is it," Ryusei said.
"Do your best, Ryusei-kun!" Kusuha wishes him.
"I will, Kusuha-chan! Just you watch!"
Back
outside, the narration of the Burning PT game has finally finished.
"And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for:
let us introduce the final two contestants for the Ace of Aces
Championship Match"
From the announcer's right, smoke spread across
the floor as Ryusei slowly rises up. "To my right, he is one of the
most entertaining players in Burning PT and is the second man to defeat
'The Invincible' Tenzan Nakajima! Having a record of 25 wins and 7
losses, he is last year's Ace of Aces, the defending champion, Ryusei
Date!"
As his name is called, Ryusei shows off striking several superhero-like poses, much to the cheers...and laughs, of the crowd.
Among the crowd, two people closely watch Ryusei in a more serious manner.
"Is he the one, Major"
"Yes.
Sample 55. Take note that although his record doesn't equal to that of
No. 54, his skills in the game indicate that he has very high potential"
"But how could he be the one we're looking for? It simply can't be him! His Telekinetic Alpha Pulse reads only 0.22"
"Watch, Lt. Kobayashi. You will soon find out. We just have to wait for the right time"
"If you say so, Major Ingram..."
------------
"Romefeller's Ambition"
"Is
that so?" "Yes. The Titans appear to make every step necessary to
obtain complete control over all of the key territories of the
Federation. Already they have support from the colony within the
Jupiter Sphere for finance and development of new Mobile Suits. If they
succeed, they would carry enormous power that's enough to bring fear to
the space colonies"
"And it would put us on a bad situation"
"Correct.
Ever since the Macross Project, the Federation's power weakens steadily
and the Titans are taking advantage of it. The Federation has been
asking the support of other party members just to remain alive in their
control over this planet and the colonies. I suggest we form a campaign
of unifying Earth and the colonies to prevent the Titans' rise in power"
"So
be it then! We have Oz in our hands. Let's begin a full-scale campaign
to put Earth under our control! We will start with the Eastern
Continents"
"No, my lord! Please reconsider. Though the Eastern
Continents possess lots of technological and military strength, it
remains a hot spot as it has been under heavy attack repeatedly by
several factions. Control over the space colonies is not a very good
idea either, thanks to the division of Zeon. We should take them over
last. We will start off with the West, beginning with America"
"America? But there are very few Federation Bases over there"
"It's
not just the bases we are after, my lord. It's their resources. The
Second Impact nearly depleted the military and technological strength
of that country, but they soared through agriculture and economics.
With that in our hands, we can maintain our soldiers' morale and our
finances will rise, allowing us to use them to possess whatever we need"
"Yes...yes
you are right! With America in our hands, I will have lots of money!
And with money comes power! Let us gather our forces! We will begin the
invasion of America and put it under the control of the Romefeller
Organization"
"Your choice is most wise, my lord. I will personally see to it that Oz fulfills your wish"
"My
nephew! It is because of your great mind that I promoted you to the
rank of Count. I will then put you in charge of this operation. I trust
you will not fail"
"I'll make sure we will succeed. But may I ask one thing, my lord"
"Anything, my nephew"
"Please,
do not address me as your 'nephew'. Although we are both Khushrenadas,
you remain as the leader in all of Romefeller and Oz and I am your
subordinate"
"Hahaha! Still as noble, I see. Very well, then, go! Make me proud, Count Treize"
"Thank you for your audience, Duke Dermail..."
------------
"Gundam Theft"
Earth Federation Torrington Base, east of Australia.
"Captain Synapse! Enemy Mobile Suits verified! It's the Zeons! 5 Dom Units!" shouted an officer at the helm.
"The
Zeons?" said the Captain. "Damn! The Albion's not ready yet! Launch all
available Mobile Suits to the field and hold them off!"
Within the MS Deck of the Torrington Base, there was a noise of gunfire as several Federation soldiers are taken down. 5 Zeon soldiers then moved in and secured the area. One of them proceeds to a nearby Mobile Suit, and takes off his helmet to stare at it.
"So...this is the Gundam," he said.
"Major
Gato," a soldier called him. "Please hurry and get inside the Gundam.
Enemy reinforcements will be arriving soon. We'll cover you from here"
"Understood"
"What
are you doing here!?! This is a restricted area!?!" a woman's voice
called out as she enters the MS Deck, but is shocked to find Zeon
soldiers pointing their guns at her. Gato looked at the woman, who
appears to be a researcher judging from her blue outfit and some
documents that she is carrying. But when Gato looked at the woman's
face, her blond hair and blue eyes and wearing blue earrings, his eyes
widened as he recognizes her.
And she recognizes him.
"Gato...Anavel Gato?" said the woman.
"Nina Purpleton..." Gato replied. And just like that, he gets inside the Gundam.
"W...wait!" Nina called out.
"FREEZE!
DON'T MOVE!" said a Zeon soldier as he cocks his gun, ready to fire.
Seconds later, the Gundam is activated and moves out of the MS Deck.
The soldiers follow suit.
"Captain! Something's coming out of the MS Deck"
"Onscreen!"
From screen the very Gundam Gato is in moves out.
"It can't be...the Unit-2's active!
"ZEONS!" Gato shouts out. "Fight strong and true! We now have the Gundam in our possession!"
Somewhere near the MS Deck area, a Federation soldier witnesses the events unfold.
"Is that...the Unit-2?"
He
had heard what Gato had said. That Gundam is now in Zeon's hands and he
knows what it's capable of. It has to be stopped. It MUST be stopped.
But as the Unit-2 takes down several GM units very easily, it seems to
only way to stop a Gundam is with another Gundam.
Another Gundam.
The Unit-1!
Quickly, the Federation soldier rushes inside the MS Deck and indeed, the other Gundam, the Unit-1, is there. Without hesitation whatsoever, he makes his way into the cockpit. Nina remains where she is, stunned at what just happened. But she snaps out of it when she sees the Federation soldier going inside the other Gundam.
"Stop! What're you
doing!?!" Nina runs toward the cockpit and stops the soldier just
before he closes the hatch. "You're...Ensign Kou Uraki! Wait a second!
You're not going to"
"I'm a pilot too!" Kou replies as he closes the
hatch and quickly activates the Unit-1. The eyes of the Unit-1 began to
glow. Nina steps back as the Gundam dashes its way out of the MS Deck
and into the field.
"Let's do this!" Kou says. "Me and the Unit-1 are going to bring back the Unit-2!"
Beam Saber out, the Unit-1 rushes to the battle, heading straight for the Unit-2. Gato picks up the incoming Mobile Suit and turns, which was Kou's intent as he shouts at Gato. "You're not gonna take the Unit-2 anywhere!!!"
"Oh...trying to be the hero, huh?" Gato said. "That
kind of attitude won't get you far!" He then activates his Gundam's
Beam Saber.
"YOU'RE GOING DOWN!!!" Kou shouts as he strikes the Beam
Saber, but Gato's Gundam blocks it with its enormous shield. The Unit-2
strikes back but the Unit-1 blocks it with its own shield as well. The
two Gundams continue exchanging swords and shields, but neither one
could hit the other.
Back at the bridge of the Albion, Nina rushes inside and watches the battle commence on the main screen, much to the crew's surprise since she isn't a member. Captain Synapse, however, recognizes her.
"Miss Purpleton!" he said. But Nina ignores him as she watched in horror, her palms right up her cheeks.
"Oh my God...my Gundams...!"
Kou becomes more aggressive as he strikes his Beam Saber harder against Gato's own. He then activates the Unit-1's boosters to push him forward, charging at the Unit-2 and using its shield to ram it. The attack left an opening for the Unit-2 and Kou sees it sharply. He thrusts the Beam Saber, but Gato pulls out before the saber could go through. Only the Unit-2's left chest took some damage.
"You're no ordinary kid..." Gato comments.
"Don't underestimate me for being just a pilot!" Kou retorts.
Just then, east of the Torrington Base, more Zeon Mobile Suits appear. And it's a large force: 6 Zakus, 3 Doms, and 6 Zugocks, amphibious Mobile Suits with claws, and 1 Kaempfer, a blue mono-eyed Mobile Suit armed with shell weapons.
"This is Captain Steiner Hardy of the Cyclops Team!" said the Kaempfer pilot. "Here to assist the Delaz Fleet"
"Your assistance is most appreciated, Captain Steiner!" said Gato.
"Cyclops Team! Engage the enemy and give Major Gato a chance to escape!"
"Hehe! No problem!" said Misha, who rides in one of the Doms.
Bernard
Wiseman, riding one of the Zakus, feels hesistant and sighs. "Man, I
don't feel so good. This my first battle, and it could be my last. This
is not right"
"What's wrong, Wiseman?" Steiner asks.
"Um...nothing...sir"
"You
better not chicken out as that will shorten your life span. If you want
to live longer, you have to fight harder, you got that"
"I...I won't chicken out! Bernard Wiseman, ready for battle"
"That's good. Let's go!"
The Unit-2 then begins to pull out. Kou tries to follow, but the Cyclops Team launches a barrage of beams to keep Kou from advancing. The other 5 Doms find this a perfect opportunity to bring down the Torrington Base and makes an attack.
"What are you 5 doing!?!" Gato said to the 5 Doms. "This is not part of the plan"
"Torrington's defenses are weak, Major!" answered one of the pilots. "We can bring this thing down, sir! Just you watch"
"No, you fools! Pull back!"
"CAPTAIN! 5 DOMS HEADED THIS WAY"
"Damn it all! Are our weapons ready"
"Weapons are inactive!"
"Enemy battleship within target range! Let's blast it with our bazookas!"
"THE DOMS ARE ABOUT TO FIRE"
"ALL HANDS, BRACE FOR IMPACT!"
"Firing Bazookas!"
And the 5 Doms simultaneously fired their shells towards the Albion when, suddenly, from up in the sky, a blue fiery object, shaped like that of a bird, swoops down and collides with the shells, exploding them on impact before it reaches the Albion. The blue flames then fade, revealing what appears to be an Eagle shaped black jet fighter. Then, east of the Albion, appear 3 other mechs. Two of them are a cougar and a lion. One is like that of a mammoth. The three rushed to the front of the Albion along with the Eagle fighter.
"What the..." Gato gasped. "Those are"
"What are those things?" Kou asked. He then receives an open transmission.
"Albion! This is Prof. Hazuki! I've sent out the Super Beast Machine Force to assist you"
"The
Beast Machines?" Captain Synapse replied. "Ok, guys! Let's show them
what we're made of! Change to Aggressive Humanoid Mode!" said the pilot
of the jet fighter. And quite surprisingly, the four machines
transformed into humanoid-type robots. "All right, let's do it!"
And with that, the four robots attack.
------------
"The Coming of Evil"
December 14, NWC 186. Just beyond the vicinity of the Solar System...
"Captain! All other battleships and battalion troops are destroyed!" reports the vice-captain.
"Damn
it! What ARE these things!?!" Tashiro asks as he watches groups of
aliens nearly surrounding the Excelion. The aliens are extremely large
in number. They are several large alien ships spewing smaller alien
craft by the hundreds, perhaps even thousands. But these alien ships
don't seem to be metallic in structure; they look
"They appear to be the same sort of beings that destroyed the Luxion...MY Luxion, seven years ago..." comments Ohta.
"Captain Tashiro," said the vice-captain. "It is impossible for us to defeat this group. We must retreat and regroup"
"That
is a negative!" Tashiro retorts. "If we do now, the aliens will be able
to locate Earth. We need to keep them off the Solar System by any means
necessary!"
Just outside the Excelion, three robots, the RX Battlesuits guard the ship - the only remaining group from the Excelion as the rest of their robots and fighter crafts are all destroyed. Worse, the RX Battlesuits are training robots, armed only with a lighting rod as a weapon.
Inside one of the robots, fear
completely surrounds Noriko. Witnessing many of the Excelion's pilots,
including her co-trainees, die in the heat of battle. Her body starts
to shiver, tears almost coming down her eyes. "How can we...how can we
win this"
"Noriko! Jung!" Kasumi calls in. "Brace yourselves! If we do not stop these aliens now, Earth will be in dire peril"
"You don't have to tell me that!" Jung responded.
"S...sister! I can't! I can't take on these 'things'!" Noriko cries.
"This is no time to chicken-out, Noriko!" Kasumi talks back. "Remember, humanity's future is at stake"
"But sister"
"Takaya!"
Ohta intervenes. "If you do not wish to die, then you must fight them
with all you've got! Do not forget that you, Kasumi, and Jung are
trained for this! Remember your training"
"Coach..."
Just then, the first wave of the aliens started closing in.
"They're coming!" Kasumi shouts. "Noriko! Jung"
"I'm on it!" Jung said as she goes head on.
"Y...yes!" Noriko replied nervously and engages in combat as well.
Jung began taking on 10 of the aliens' first wave. Using her Battlesuit's rod as a fencing sword, she has done exceptionally well striking and lashing at the aliens to keep them away. When one of them attempts to land its tentacle-like mouth over her Battlesuit, she drives the rod underneath, oozing out a strange liquid from the alien's body. Probably it's own blood. She then throws it toward another group of aliens, and then suddenly the alien she wounded explodes, upon contact, causing a chain reaction of explosions.
Kasumi has done just as well taking on another group. Her acrobatic and martial arts skills in addition to her training with Ohta served her well in taking out the aliens. Lariats, knee-drives, and strikes from her rod keep the aliens down one at a time.
Noriko is the least fortunate of the three. Even fighting against a number less than that of Kasumi's or Jung's, she still has trouble dealing with them. Most of her attacks are a miss and the aliens simply toy with her Battlesuit by ramming her constantly. Then one of the aliens grabs the head of her Battlesuit with its mouth, blocking Noriko's vision. The others also begin to gnaw away at the limbs.
Noriko panics and tries wiggling her Battlesuit to break free, but to no avail. Her heartbeat beats so rapidly as fear controls her almost completely. "Move, please move!" she cries.
The aliens now slowly are able to pierce through the armor of her Battlesuit.
With death drawing near, Noriko starts to cry. Her father was killed seven years ago, and recently her comrades. Now she is next. Then, the blue ribbon that she tied over her forehead suddenly fell onto her lap. She looked at the ribbon, and began to remember what Toren had told her:
"So long as you stay strong and diligent, everything's going to be all right."
Those words from a man she only met a short period of time were more than enough to restore her courage. Gripping tight at the controls, she screams as she makes the arms of her Battlesuit move, driving the rod at the alien that's eating her mech's head, then clubbing out the rest. Then, using her boosters, she zooms out of the way as the aliens explode. Afterwards, her Battlesuit's knee was raised up, electricity starting to surge around her mech.
"INAZUMA KICK!" she shouts and drives the kick downward, taking out a large number of aliens in the way.
"Noriko! Are you all right?" Kasumi contacts her.
"Yes, sister. I'm all right." Noriko responds.
"Jung"
"Hmph! No wonder they're 'bugs'! I want a REAL challenge!"
Her wish is granted as one of the alien carries closes in on the three, attempting to crush it with its large jaw-like structure.
"You and your big mouth, Jung!" Noriko said.
But before it could even get close, several beams of light hit the alien carrier. The beams were so quick and strong that upon impact, it pierced thru the carrier's body. Quickly Kasumi's team kept distant as the alien carrier blasts out in an explosion like that of a miniature nuclear bomb.
"Target destroyed!" Tashiro shouts.
"That was close..." comments Ohta. "We cannot afford to lose those three"
"Captain!"
the vice-captain interrupts. "There's a disturbance in the
gravitational signature! Something's warping out into this area"
"What!?!"
From a distance, not far from where the aliens are positioned, several circles of light appear out of nowhere. Out of those circular lights came out hordes of other alien ships. But these ships are not like what the Excelion are currently encountering. These now have metallic armor...
...and they have robots with them.
"It...it can't be!" Tashiro gasps.
"The Aerogaters!?!" Ohta says.
"This
is extremely bad...Everyone listen to me! If we lose this battle,
mankind's only hope is the SDF-1! We must keep them from entering the
Solar System at all costs! Raise all reactors to critical and hit them
with everything we've got! If worse comes to worse, we will ram them to
oblivion!"
