Yes, I got another idea for a fic. Hit me.

Anyway, I was thinking of making a novelization out of the just plain coolest game in the GBA that you can find... Gunstar Super Heroes.

For those who don't know, GSH is the continuation of the popular Genesis/Mega Drive game, Gunstar Heroes, which is basically a shmup of the best quality. Rather than having power-ups for different guns, you get three different guns RIGHT AT THE START, a megashot for each gun, and Gunstar Actions, which are freakin' sweet, since they let your Gunstars become Ninjas.

So, here's a really short teaser I whipped up when I wrote this post:

-=-

Aori grumbled as he was being attacked by the giant robot holding the ship. Jeez, couldn't she have moved out before being captured? He turned his head towards Akari, who was trying to shoot at the hands. Well, it wasn't as if he was gonna let Akari have all the fun... "Hey, Red! Heads up!" he screamed, before running towards Akari.

Akari looked at him, stopping shooting for one moment. "What? Blue? What are you-" Akari began, before Akari realized that Aori was sliding underneath Akari's legs. Right before Akari could complain about his perverted action, Aori had already grabbed Akari's Gunstar Armor by the neck.

Aori smirked. "GUNSTAR PUNCH!" he screamed, before delivering a mighty uppercut at the robot's hand, pulling Akari with him. As they were flying above it, he prepared to finish the attack. "GUNSTAR KICK!" he screamed again, before doing a perfect 90? kick to the ground, aimed at the other hand.

The hand was damaged as well, and the robot had to hold the ship with its weakened hand for the following moments, which caused the ship to topple to the side a bit. The Gunstars had landed on it, their magnetic boots keeping them on it for the following moments... if they weren't inevitably attacked as they would be.

Akari got up, annoyed, after being dropped in a harsh manner by Aori. "Blue! What the hell were you thinking?! We're not supposed to act in such a rash manner! We're Gunstars!" Akari asked, angrily. Aori stared at Akari in that odd manner of his.

"Look, the best strategy we have here is to blast this thing to bits, and the best way we have of doing that," he told Akari, before shooting a random grunt who thought he would be smart in not doing what all the other grunts had done and retreating back to their base. The grunt exploded just like everyone else. Aori turned back to Akari. "The best way we have of doing that is to explode this thing's face. Do you agree with me?" he asked, just as the ship was shoved down onto the ground again.

Akari bit a lip, but nodded. "Fine. I guess we can do it your way for now."

Aori smirked. "That's the idea, Akari!" he said, which made Akari slap his face.

"Stop calling me that on the field! We're Red and Blue, not Akari and Aori! Now get into position!" Akari told him, before skidding to the other side, stopping by the hand. "Are you ready?" Akari asked, while switching the gun into Burst Mode. Aori had done that already, and just gave Akari a thumbs-up. Akari nodded, just as the robot began to push the ship down again.

"Well, then.. FORCE CHANGE!" they screamed, as their Gunstar Force guns began their transformation, turning into sleek bazookas with power capsules on the back. While it happened, it seemed that time had slowed down except for them, and that a blue field was surrounding them, with red strikes flying behind them. When the transformation was finished, the field disappeared instantly.

"FORCE BURST!" they screamed, before pulling the triggers; instantly, a large sphere of fire flew forward, growing bigger as it took in oxygen, and flying straight at the robot's face. The power was enough to drive them backwards, and they fell to the ground, but were unharmed.

The same couldn't be said about the robot, however. Screaming in pain, it released the Gunstar Ship, which flew away in an instant, and moved away, staying out of range.

Then it flew forward again, and began mashing the platform with its fists. Aori gulped. "Oh, man... this is bad..."

Akari's eyes, however, were shining. "Yeah! That's what I was waiting for!"

Aori turned towards Akari. "...you're a moron."

Note: I don't have good names for the other characters. Does anyone mind telling me the Japanese versions to their names, so I can corrupt them?

I loved Gunstar Heros way back in the day. Shame that I can't find GSH anywhere around here.

Don't worry GH, we've gone over this, this is a ROM-friendly board, so you're okay with us. ;)

UPDATE!!!

The prologue be up! (Note: pretend that everything before the numbers is centered.)

Well... at least a pre-version of it.

So... read, judge, and review. Do it. Do it twenty times.

In the pastà

Two heroes fought against the terrible Destructor. These two noble heroes were known as the Gunstar Heroes. But nothing else was known about them.

They beat the Destructor in an epic battle on the Moon. The Destructor exploded, resulting in a genesis.

A genesis of 4 new moons that orbited the Earth. As time passed, development occurred on the 4 moons. It was a prosperous era; Then a 5th moon appeared. This moon served as an ominous omen.

A huge military satelliteà Created by the Empire.

It plans to resurrect the Destructor, the God of Ruin. Its obsession since the find of a Relic, the Megalith. But the EmpireÆs grab for power hasnÆt gone unnoticed.

The 3YE force on Earth has created a unit to stop it. This elite unit has been given the codenameà

Gunstar Super Heroes

1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890

The home base of the Gunstar Super Heroes lied in the populated city of Neo Tokyo, which had been rebuilt over the ruins of Tokyo, destroyed in the battle between the Gunstar Heroes and the Destructor.

Inside the main room, Kira Eluro watched a video hologram of the 3YE commander, who was giving her the last instructions she needed for the first meeting between the Gunstars and their immediate superior. She wasnÆt very sure as to why she had been chosen for this role, but it was an order from the higher-ups, and she had no reason why she would disobey them on that.

ôàand please, Eluro-san, do not reference the ælunch room incidentÆ when in their presence. The last person to do so had to be sent to the infirmary for three months.ö Kira gulped. Three months? The Gunstars had probably done quite a number on himà

She nodded and saluted him, before bowing. ôI understand, Commander-san. I will do my best to not cause any trouble,ö she told him, who shook his head.

ôNo, Eluro-san. We doubt you will cause any trouble to us. They, on the other handàö he left the sentence hanging, before shaking his head. ôAnyway, good luck, and hopefully we wonÆt have to contact each other again. Commander out.ö And, with that, the hologram died.

Kira sighed, and sat down on her chair. She wasnÆt too sure whether she was really ready for this job, but it was better than the desk job she was in before, she presumed. As she looked at the Plexiglas table, she could see her reflection in ità a young girl, not much older than twenty, with green eyes and light brown hair that went down to her shoulders, wearing the traditional uniform û a black one-piece bodysuit that only didnÆt reach her arms, a white sleeveless jacket with yellow trimmings, a yellow skirt that had an opening near the center and upwards, yellow boots and gloves, and long black gloves underneath.

She didnÆt like it much, since this uniform was a tad too exposing, in her opinionà but it was better than what some of the others wore, thatÆs for sure. Her thoughts went back to the Gunstars û there hadnÆt been any news of him, had there? What if-

The noise of the door opening distracted her, and she turned around to see the newcomers. Their uniforms made it clear û they were the Gunstar Super Heroes. She remembered the information she had received from the commander, a few minutes before.

Aori, Gunstar Blue, a blonde youngster who had a cool personality. Although he was known for relapse and underestimations in battle, his great aim and quick thinking more than made up for it.

Akari, Gunstar Red, a redhead with a temper as hot as the color of AkariÆs hair. Not one to sit down and wait, Akari was prone to anger and action û rash and impulsive, but also a great asset.

The main difference between those two lied in their uniforms û while Aori had blue gloves and boots, Akari had red gloves and boots, as well as a crimson streak down the uniform that divided in two at the center area. Akari also lacked the jacket Rika and Aori had.

Currently, however, the two were being quite noisy, as Akari kept trying to ask something of Aori. Rika cleared her throat, surprising the duo. ôGreetings, Akari, Aori. I am Rika Eluro, Gunstar Yellow. May I please know why you two are arguing?ö she asked, keeping her voice calm.

ôGreetings, Rika!ö Akari saluted, before pointing an accusing finger at Aori. ôAori here isnÆt telling me where he is keeping my personal item!ö Rika blinked.

ôYour personal item?ö she asked, looking at Aori. He snorted.

ôAkari thinks I stole her favorite doll.ö Akari stomped forward, getting in his face.

ôYou must have! Who else would be allowed in my room?!ö Akari demanded, making him wince.

ôJeez, Akari, can you be any louder? I think they havenÆt heard you on the other side of the base,ö he joked, as he pushed Akari away a tad ungently. Rika sighed.

ôLookà I think weÆre starting on a wrong foot here. Can you two please stop arguing and introduce yourselves?ö she asked, rubbing her temple. Akari turned towards her and nodded, before glaring at Aori, indicating it was not over, while he just laughed a bit.

ôOkay, okayà I am Aori Yukino, age 19, codename Gunstar Blue. I was chosen for my marksmanship skills, quickthinking, and precise movements,ö he stated, as if he was signing up for a new job, before smirking. ôDo you want my measurements too, Kira?ö

ôOh, pleaseàö Kira grumbled, as she turned towards Akari. ôWhat about you?ö

Akari saluted. ôI am Akari Hino, age 18, codename Gunstar Red. My specialties are dexterity, agility, and crowd control.ö

Kira nodded. ôThank you. Now, I believe the two of you are not used to 3YE yet, am I correct?ö she asked, and the two nodded. ôWell, 3YE is a special defense/investigation team set up in Earth, in order to watch for each of the EmpireÆs movements and counter them, in case of serious threats. The Gunstar Unit û thatÆs us û has been set up in order to investigate and stop any seriously dangerous plans that might bring forth the destruction or conquest of the planet and the moons, such as the resurrection of the Destructor. Therefore, our duty lies with the people of Earth and the four moons. Do you understand?ö

Akari nodded eagerly, while Aori snorted quietly. ôOh, pleaseà you mean to tell us that we are supposed to be stopping THE Empire û that massive army that has tried to take over the world before û all by ourselves?ö Kira nodded again.

ôThe previous Gunstar Heroes have done that, and against worse odds, even; they did not have such technology as we have today, and the opponents were much worse than the ones we believe the Empire possesses.ö

Suddenly, the lights dimmed down, and the emergency red lights began to soar, as well as an alarm. ôWhatÆs going on?!ö Akari asked, as the three looked around, nervously.

ôThereÆs something wrongà the only reason why the alarm would be sounding isàö Realization came over her face, and she turned towards Akari and Aori. ôGunstars! ItÆs an emergency! Put on your armors and equipment and meet me at the exit port ASAP! This is not a drill!ö she told them, instinctively, before she began to run away. Aori blinked.

ôWoah, wait a second! Do you mean weÆre being attacked?ö he asked, as she was exiting the room. She turned around.

ôNot usà but 3YE! We must hurry!ö she alerted, before leaving them. Akari began to follow.

ôWait, Akari! Where do you think youÆre going?ö he asked, a bit confused.

ôIÆm going to the armory, of course! Come on, Blue!ö Akari replied, without stopping.

Aori blinked again. ôOkayà guess I should go too, thenàö he said to no one, before following Akari.
