Pilot Candidate: The New Candidates

By Draco

On the training academy of G.O.A. the Goddesses(5 Gundam-like living "suits") had been 
destroyed by Victim, but before the last blow by Victim was made to destroy the final 
Goddess, Errn-Laties and her pilot, Zero Enna, Zero released the most powerful burst of EX 
ever recorded, destroying Victim and himself. Recorded as a hero, his plans for five new 
Goddess-like "suits" had been discovered while emptying his room, and in Clay "Cliff" 
Fortran's room was his records of Victim, they stated, "Victim made it's most powerful 
attack on Zion, using Hiead Gner, rival of Zero Enna, as a shield and using his Goddess' 
weapons on Zion, after this ended Victim destroyed Hiead with his own weapons. One thing 
still troubles me, Victim seems to be coming from a black hole, tomorrow I will send an 
unmanned Pro-Ing to survey to edge of the black hole, I just hope I don't find the largest, 
most powerful Victim inside." This was the last entry in his journal. 

The training academy began work on the new five Goddess-like "suits." Now, three new 
candidates are on their way to G.O.A.

"I've never seen anything so cool in my life!" this is Vega Takimadia, 13 years old, he looks 
just like Zero Enna, only with bright red eyes and a green headband. 

"Does this guy ever shut up?" a boy named Chris Tamidama said. He looks just like Clay Fortran, 
only with black hair and bright blue eyes. 

"What are these two?" a boy named Mako Chikida thought as Vega continued his "thinking" out 
loud (like saying "wow" and "how cool").
  
"Hey, number 88 (new number set), shut it," Instructor Azuma Hijikata Jr.(son of Zero's 
Instructor) said as Vega got quiet. "haven't you seen Zion before?" 

"No sir, this is my first time in space, I came from a colony, so I haven't seen any 
planets." Vega said as he looked at Azuma. 

"Is that right? Well, I should have expected this, my father warned me about guys that look 
like candidate #88 of the old training program." Azuma said calmly as Chris and Mako looked 
at Vega. 

"Do I really look like Zero?" Vega asked. 

"In fact, all of you look like Candidates #87-89." Azuma replied. 

"I've known this for the longest time, it's about time someone mentioned it." Mako said as 
he walked to the observation deck.
 
"I don't like him." Vega said. "He's probably going to watch as we go into the station, we're 
less than five minutes away." Chris said as Azuma sat down. 

"What?!" Vega yelled as he ran after Mako. 

"Does he ever listen? I was about to say that he should sit down." Chris said with a 
zombie-like look on his face. Vega was entering the observation deck, and Mako was right next 
to the door. 

"Hey, see anything interesting?" Vega asked as he put his hand on Mako's shoulder. Mako threw 
Vega across the room. 

"What did ya do that for?!" Vega asked loudly as he landed on his feet. 
"Stay away from me." Mako said in an annoyed voice. 
"I was just trying to be friendly." Vega said. 
"Friends make you weak, I don't need any." Mako said as Chris walked in and looked out the 
window towards a gray thing. 

"G.O.A." Chris said as they neared the docking port. 

10 minutes later they had docked fully and were heading to the decontamination center. Mako 
was the first to enter, next was Chris, lastly Vega entered. 

"My, my, my, this hair is much too long, we'll have to take it down an inch or two." a young 
man with scissors said as he pushed Vega into a chair. 

"Hey, leave my hair alone!" Vega yelled as he started to struggle and the guy started to snip 
away his hair. 

"Stop struggling, Zero Enna was the first one to do this to me." the young man said as he 
snipped away the last piece of hair that needed to be gone then he took Vega's headband. 

"Hey, now what're ya doing?" Vega asked as he calmed down. 
"Oh, just gonna clean this, wait there, this will take about a minute." the young man replied 
as he put the headband into a small machine and washed it. 

"Uh, where am I supposed to go again?" Vega asked as he looked around and walked straight down 
the first hall he saw. 

"Put that over there and the new machines will be ready." a man in a jumpsuit said as he 
looked over the new machines. 

"So these are the Dragons?" a man in robes asked. 

"Oh, Mr. Dian, yes, these are the Dragons made from the plans found in Zero Enna's room." the 
man in the jumpsuit replied. 

"What are the names?" Mr. Dian asked. 
"We've decided to let the pilots choose the names, Zero Enna wrote a note with the plans, 
‘The pilots must name these to be fully capable to use them to their fullest' he didn't make 
the most sense did he?" the man in the jumpsuit asked. 

"No, he made barely any sense." Mr. Dian replied. 
"Sir, shouldn't we be getting to the opening ceremonies?" a worker asked. 
"We are done with the Dragons, yes. Go get cleaned up and go to the opening ceremonies!" the 
man in the jumpsuit yelled as all of the workers ran to get cleaned up. 

"Let's get going." Mr. Dian insisted as he walked to the Main Room.
