G Gundam Intro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyzPTE7fDxU#)<br/><br/>Future Century 160.<br/><br/>Countless shimmering objects tore through space like shooting stars, shining brighter than stars in the evening sky of the red planet. Their cities well-protected from the incoming lights by gargantuan domes of space-age glass and titanium, Martian settlers from all over came out to watch the spectacle as the objects broke through the atmosphere and dispersed into dozens of different directions, igniting the sky briefly as they passed before disappearing over the horizon. They felt not only safe with these newcomers to the planet they had colonized, but excited! After all, this year, the year of the 38th Gundam Fight, was going to mean a new day for their world!<br/><br/>It was easy to see why anyone could get excited about the Gundam Fight, even if they were a colonist; every four years, the countries of Earth would send a warrior of their choice to spend a whole year in battle, and the winner was declared the leader of world politics for the next four years! Absurd as it sounded at first, the Gundam Fight grew to be an event of patriotic fervor several times that of the old Olympics, and has since prevented a single international war for a century and half!<br/><br/>Not to say there haven't been problems with dissenters. Everyone knows the story of the Devil Gundam; a former Gundam Fight champion and leader of the infamous Shuffle Alliance martial arts clan, Master Asia, turned to a genocidal madman upon seeing the utter destruction the Gundam Fight was causing to the face of the once beautiful Earth. The leaders of the nations had long since taken off in spacebound colonies and no longer saw the effects of their little proxy-war game, but once Master Asia's actions had drawn the public's attention to Earth's plight, they relocated back to the homeworld and decided to seek out a new site for the Gundam Fight battleground.  It was then that all eyes went to the neighboring planet, Mars.<br/><br/>Less than a year after the 13th Gundam Fight where the Devil Gundam had surfaced, work to turn Mars into a new, habitable battlefield for the all-important Fight began, though it was some 90 years before the world was habitable enough to have its own oxygen atmosphere. Once it did, though, the countries wasted no time in hosting the 36th Gundam Fight as the first amidst the growing Martian terraforming colonies. While the colonial cities weren't exactly well-protected enough in the early days, the public still saw the 36th Fight as a success: there was a significantly smaller population for the mobile suit clashes to cause problems for, and the environment on the red planet was still mostly artificial, anyway, so any damage was easily repaired.<br/><br/>But history is just history. It was now F.C. 160, on the eve of the 38th Gundam Fight, and the both the Martian colonists and the Fighters themselves were watching the Gundam carriers descending to the planet in a blaze of glory, though from completely different vantage points. To prevent early hostilities, the Fighters spent the night before opening day in the Flame of Unity, (http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/msgundam/pegasus.jpg) a small satellite station outfitted like a five-star hotel so each nation could pamper its chosen warrior before they went off to battle. With luxurious rooms, a massive lobby area with multiple viewing decks, a variety of servants, and even a mobile suit combat simulation so the Fighters could get in some last-minute practice (against virtual opponents or real ones), the station was one last treat for the champions to remind them all of the lifestyle they would have forever if they brought home the victory.<br/><br/>One of the first to step out of his room and head over to a viewing deck to watch the show was a man in his mid-twenties (http://astwinds.pagesperso-orange.fr/fonds%20ecran/galerie%201/tekken_4_009.jpg) with black hair and sharp features, though the hood of his purple jacket was pulled up to cover both of those. As he leaned on the railing to look out the glass, he wore a look on his face that made him seem more interested in what was to come than what he was currently looking out at.
