Disclaimer: Gundam Wing is the sole property of Bandai, Sunrise Entertainment, and the Sotsu Agency. Neo Gundam Wing is property of ChibiChibi-chan and Nanami Tendo. The only thing I do own is the new character in this fic Nico Hayase. This story will sorta be a Part III that I’ve personally thought of. This is supposed to be a continuation of the fanfic The Hardest Thing.
Chapter 1: The New Face at School
It’s a busy afternoon at the Sanq Kingdom Academy. Many students studying for their next classes, others trying to shove their way through the cafeteria lunch line (I know the food is gross, but they still need nourishment and it’s a closed campus), and two extremely mischievous friends are ready to pull some new pranks on a blue-haired Shinotenshi and a Silent Goddess.
Haruka: Man this is gonna be the shit (places some silly string canisters in Ariel’s locker and rigs them to spray outward upon opening).
Shingo: I know Ariel and I broke up just two weeks ago, but that still doesn’t mean I can’t pull some friendly pranks on her. (hears Ariel coming around the corner) Hurry up dude she’s comin’.
Haruka: (slams locker hard) Alright done (they both start running like hell).
Shingo: Damn ‘Ruka. You just had to slam her locker like that, huh.
Haruka: So.
Ariel comes around the corner in somewhat of a rage.
Ariel: I can’t believe I failed another Algebra test. Mom and Papa are gonna kill me. This day can’t get any worse. (opens her locker to now be covered in layers of silly string. Eyebrow starts twitching) Errr…SHINGO QUATRE REBERBA WINNER!!! HARUKA ZECHS YUY!!! WHEN I FIND YOU TWO I’M GONNA TAKE DUET’S ADVICE BY KICKING THE LIVING SHIT OUTTA YOU GUYS AND HANGING YOUR REMAINS BY YOUR NUTS!!!
In the quad, Shingo and Haruka hear the death threats on their heads.
Shingo: Holy shit. It sounds like we’re really gonna get it this time.
Haruka: Nope. Just you.
Shingo: And why is that?
Haruka: It’s because of this (takes out a pair of glasses similar to Millardo’s and puts it on). See. Now I’m Millardo so have fun running.
Shingo: I was wonderin’ why Ariel only seems to find me and not you. Well I’mma at least get a head start on her (starts running away).
Haruka: Good luck. (thinking) Man he doesn’t need luck. He needs a miracle (sees Ariel coming towards him) Oh shit time to put on the show. (out loud, sounding like Millardo) Hey Ariel. What’s up?
Ariel: (still mad as hell and still covered in a good amount of silly string) Hey Millardo. Have you seen that faggot you call a brother and that baka-tachi Shingo?
Haruka: Hey I’m not a…oh, I mean I haven’t seen him lately.
Ariel: How ‘bout Shingo?
Haruka: He’s over there (points at Shingo who just disappeared in a crowd of students).
Ariel: SHINGO GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!!!
Shingo: You’re gonna have to catch me first.
Ariel: Errr…
Soon the crowd disperses and for ten minutes straight Ariel is chasing Shingo, brandishing about five throwing knives in each hand and giving him harsh threats of bodily harm.
Ariel: When I catch you I’m gonna use one of these knives to cut your eyes out and shove them up your butt so that you can see me kick your ass!!!
Shingo: That’s only if you do catch me.
Ariel: URGHHH!!! You asked for it (chucks a knife at Shingo).
Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Right after Ariel releases the knife, a student accidentally walks into the knife’s line of fire. The knife sails past the student (Hold on, lemme think about what this character should look like. How ‘bout a black-haired Mirai-no-Trunks with half the muscle mass and omit the sword) and embeds itself in the locker door at the end of the hall. Though the missed his head by about two inches, the sudden shock of the near-death experience was enough to make this student pass out.
Ariel: Hey are you ok (starts lightly slapping the student’s face)?
Student: Yeah I think so.
Ariel: Hey you’re new here aren’t you?
Student: Yeah. I’m a senior that just transferred here two days ago when my dad was transferred to the Preventers branch in the Sanq Kingdom. My name is Nico. Nico Hayase.
Ariel: Ariel Barton. Nice to meet you (shakes his hand. Starts to blush a little).
Nico: (notices Ariel blushing) Well, I hope to see you a lot around campus here. Later (walks away).
Ariel: (in a soft voice) Bye. (thinking) God damnit I think he noticed me blushing. Why shouldn’t I though. He was pretty hot.
Not far away, Nico was having similar thoughts.
Nico: (thinking) Wow. That Ariel sure is fine. I’ve only been here two days and I’ve found an angel. Well, enough of that. I need some grub.
Nico finally reaches the cafeteria. It takes him about ten minutes to take as much as he wants from the Waste Disposal…err…lunch-line buffet (if you’re wondering, Nico has a similar stomach to Shingo in which he can ingest almost anything). While he tries to find a seat, he spots Ariel sitting amongst some friends.
Ariel: Hey Nico! Come sit over here (waves to signal where she is)!
Nico: (thinking) Now that’s what I’m talking about. (outloud) Alright (sits next to Ariel).
Ariel: Everyone this is my new friend Nico. Nico this is my cousin Duet Maxwell and her boyfriend Millardo Yuy (Nico exchanges greetings with Duet and Millardo). This is my brother Nova and his friend Torrance (exchanges more greetings). And this is Ling (finally exchanges his last greeting).
Millardo: So Nico, heard you just moved here.
Nico: Yeah I did. I’ve been around the world with my dad in all. The last place we lived was Colony L3X1899 before my dad’s transfer (Author: If ya didn’t know already, L3X1899 is the codename for the colony run by the Barton Foundation and the Mariemaia Faction a.k.a. The colony used to execute Operation Meteor).
Duet: You’re dad’s in the military?
Nico: Nah he works for the Preventers.
All except Ariel: NANI!!!
Nico: I’m serious.
Nova: What exactly does he do?
Nico: Nothing that I thought was really serious. He just works in the Preventers hanger, ya know. My dad’s mostly a maintenance worker, keeping the space cruisers in top shape.
Millardo: Then why get a transfer for what you think is a pretty meaningless job?
Nico: I asked him the same question. From what he’s been able to tell me he’s been called here to work on a project funded by ZOAH Labs and supervised by Lady Une herself.
Ling: Wasn’t ZOAH Labs connected to Kuro Hidama and the previous NOZ attack?
Nico: There was no official connection made.
Duet: What could they be doin’?
Nico: I dunno. I’mma try to find out after school.
Torrance: How do you expect to do that?
Nico: I work with my dad part time.
Just as things got calm, the Hentai Squad approaches the table.
Ariel: Oh great. Well, well, well. To what do we owe the pleasure of your company here right now Haruka.
Haruka: Oh just wanted to hang out.
Shingo: (looks at Nico) Hey Ariel. Who’s the fag?
Nico: (answers Shingo) I dunno. Why don’t you introduce yourself so everyone knows.
Shingo: (a little annoyed) Everyone knows who I am.
Nico: Then everyone knows who the fag is.
Haruka: Oooh…
Triage: He got ya there man.
Shingo: You got a pretty big mouth man.
Nico: (gets up off his seat) Yeah. I got a pretty big foot too. And if you don’t get out of my face I’m gonna shove it up your big fat ass, but since yer a fag you might like it.
Shingo: (face is a red as a cherry and pretty enraged) Why you little…
Nico: You want a piece of me?
Ariel: Hey guys!!! Calm down!!! (steps between Nico and Shingo) Shingo I think you better leave.
Shingo: Fine then. You’re dead next time I see you.
Nico: Yeah…right.
The rest of the day is pretty peaceful for Nico…except when he had Chemistry class and Shingo rigged one of his test tubes to explode when mixed. He ended up in a pretty big mess, but in the chaos Shingo also had a test tube fizz out and explode in his hand (what else is new).
Duet and Millardo look to Duo to uncover the secrets of the infamous “Guardian Project,” but is there more to this than just meets the eye? Find out next in NGW: The Guardian Project Chapter 2: Declarations of Love and Betrayal
The End
