1. Chapter 1 (1/2)

"a hero is born"-this is my first story, so it might not be as good as my

future ones. part ii of this story entitled "against the dream" will come

out soon after this one, just give me at least three good reviews and i

will get started on part ii. "a hero is born"

part ichapter i:

"it's been three months since i first came to the academy, and

now…now i'm sitting here in my guncannon awaiting deployment. a million

things run across my mind-have my weapons ready, check my drop altitude,

for if i don't i will plunge directly into the battle scarred face of the

earth, i also must make sure i hold my shield close to me and ready to be

drawn at any moment because i got word from captain gregory that we will be

dropped straight over the battle zone. the bay doors of my dropship would

be opening in t-minus five seconds. the dropship shook wildly as it was

hit by a foe. as the doors opened i clenched my teeth and closed my eyes,

then the docking clamps holding my mech in place were released. i opened

my eyes as i was being dropped over the battle zone, it was a horrible

sight. all around me was mass destruction, the dropship next to me

exploded while the one above it got caught in a collision with another

dropship. some mechs that were deployed didn't check their altitude and

plummeted helplessly into the scarred battleground. one of the mechs lost

an arm, while one lost control of its systems and lay there disabled as

five enemy zakus tore it apart. someone yelling my last name disrupted my

thoughts." "kay!!!!"

i looked around and realized i was in battle. it was my commander who was

calling me, so i dashed over where he and a few mechs were taking cover

behind some large rocks. "delphus kay reporting for orders, sir," i said.

"what the hell were you doing, kay!?" commander ross yelled, "you could

have been killed up there!" "sorry, sir," i said while i dashed for cover

with them. a guntank turned towards me and told me to cover him over my

intercom, so i grabbed my shield and beam rifle. he ran out and i follwed

him holding up my shield to cover him. i also fired a few shots of my beam

rifle to slow down the approaching enemies.

all of a sudden a group of zakus encircled us. it was five of them against

me and the guntank. i aksed the pilot of the guntank what we should do,

and he said we'll have to pick off at least three of them for us to be able

to escape. he aimed his large cannons and i aimed my beam rifle at them.

we counted to three and prepared to fire, but before we could pull the

triggers they all fell to the ground. behind a pile of demolished zakus

stood a squadron of guncannons steadily aiming their rifles at the heap of

mechs. they saved our lives today and we are grateful that they did. now

it is time to go back home to rest and get

iefed for our next mission.chapter ii:

we arrived back at base about two hours after the battle. the hangar

was real busy, there were troop carriers returning troops back to their

barracks, a few dropships landing dropping of supplies or returning pilots

from our recent battle. a short man about three inches smaller than me and

a little older than me came over to greet me on my way to the mess hall.

"ahoy there!" said the man, "it's me! that rusty pilot whose hide you

helped cover today, the name is leroy beloive." "your welcome sir, my name

is delphus kay, nice to meet you." i replied. he said he was heading down

to the mess hall to get some grub and invited me to join him. "sure, why
