The beginning of Project Sentai Mountain

[DJ Force]

This is the Beginning of the Project Sentai Mountain. I decided to continue and expand the idea of Project Sentai Mountain with a nice fan-fic, to implement all our new vehicles, add-ons and of course the new and improved modular Sentai Headquarter.

The story takes place within the last official comic, just before the Exo-Force takes off for their rescue mission.

Hope you like it!

The Beginning of Project Sentai Mountain

"We need to rescue Sensei Keiken!" Hikaru shouted, much to the others surprise. Hikaru wasn´t known to be impulsive, but at this moment, Ryo and Takeshi literally had to hold him back from jumping into his Sky Guardian and to take off for a rescue mission.

"We will rescue him", Takeshi grunted, while Hikaru was trying to get lose from his grip. "But we need a battle plan first!" Slowly, Hikaru calmed down a bit. Of course, a battle plan. This was his part of the action. Being the mind of the combat team. A battle plan.

Ryo shook his head. "We have no idea at all where the Robots may have taken Sensei, nor where this mysterious Golden City Outpost might be located." Hikaru agreed. "Furthermore, if we take off to this rescue mission, the Golden City will be defenseless." Hitomi was about to protest, but Hikaru quickly went on: "No offense, Hitomi. I know you´re a skilled fighter and a brave Mech-pilot." - "Yeah, but to be honest, Hikaru, Ha-Ya-To and Takeshi are far more experienced in battle than both of us", Ryo explained. "The Golden City doesn´t stand a chance against the robots if the Exo-Force isn´t there to protect it."

Hitomi sighed. Ryo was right. Although she knew the Golden Cities defense technology like no other, they just weren´t enough to match the firepower of the Robot forces if they decided for another attack.

"But what can we do?" she shouted. "Sensei gave us new Mechs", Takeshi said. "This means we have the Sky Guardian, the Aero Booster, the Blade Titan and the Cyclone Defender to spare. And with the recently discovered army of Golden Guardians, this should give us some time to improve on our defense system. Ryo, Hitomi, do you think you can make up something?"

"Of course!" the two shouted as if one-mouthed, then looked at each other and had to grin. They were back in action again.

"Hikaru, Takeshi and I will check our new Mechs", Ha-Ya-To said. "I´m calling dibs on the River Dragon! Such a cool machine!"

"Do that!" Ryo agreed. "Hitomi and I will try to invent some new stationary weapons for the Golden City walls. They are basically defenseless."

Ryo didn´t even finish his sentence, as a sudden energy blast shook the outer wall and let it explode.

"We´re under attack!" Takeshi screamed, as his reflexes took over and made him jump into the Blade Titan. "Takeshi, what are you doing?" Hikaru shouted. "We need to test the new machines, and this is the perfect opportunity!"

"You´re right. Let´s go for it!"

"Ryo, quick! We need to start working now!" Hitomi ordered, as another shot made the walls crumble and personell ran around to man the Golden Guardians.

Hitomi and Ryo ran as fast as they could into Ryos Workshop. They were perfectly sure that the Exo-Force would fight back the Robots again this time, but they needed to improve the Golden City defense system.

Another blast! A direct hit! They heard the high energy beams humming before it pierced a hole into the workshops wall. The explosion followed soon after and bricks scattered the floor. Ryo reacted quickly! Immediatly he ran to Hitomi to protect her, before the shockwave hit them. "Agh, get off of me!" Hitomi coughed as the dust filled her lungs. "You´re welcome!" Ryo smiled. Another humming! "U-Oh..." was all Ryo could say, before another energy beam pierced through the hole. This explosion even bigger than the first one. "They must have some kind of automatic targeting system!" Hitomi shouted and activated her commlink. "Hikaru for Hitomi, come in!" - "Hikaro here, I´m listening! What´s up?" the answer came promptly. Quickly Hitomi informed the Chameleon Hunter pilot about her theory. "Copied!" came Hikarus short answer and immediatly he passed the info to Ha-Ya-To. "We need to find the source of those energy beams and get Ryo and Hitomi some time!"

After the dust cleared of, Ryo rose up from the ground to examine the damage. A giant hole in the workshops outer wall. But to his big surprise, the opposite wall sported another hole. What surprised Ryo about this was the fact that whatever was behind the wall lied in total darkness, although it was a perfectly bright day. A hidden room? "Hitomi! Flashlights!" he snapped and moved towards the hole. Carefully watching that he wouldn´t stand in the direct line between the two holes, if another energy beam would pierce through the walls. But a distant explosion of something giant convinced him that the source of those energy beams must have been vaporized. "Target destroyed!" Hikarus voice came in from the commlink to confirm Ryos conviction.

Hitomi showed up at Ryos side, handing him a flashlight. They switched on their flashlights and two powerful beams of light cut through the darkness. But the dust and the total darkness behind the walls were too thick even for two flashlights.

"See that? Wires in the concrete. Undamaged." Ryo was unusually monosyllabic. "There must be some kind of energy floating through these walls. I wonder what lies behind..." "Let´s find out", Hitomi whispered and pulled out a small machine out of her pockets. She moved the machine towards the wire and the machine automatically connected itself with it. Hitomi then pushed some buttons and the small display read "Luminating System". "Jackpot!" she smiled and pushed another button. With a distant humming sound the darkness started to vanish, as the old Golden City electronics started to illuminate what appeared to be a big hall, a hangar. And inside...

"You got it, Hitomi. Jackpot!" Ryo agreed. The room indeed was a hangar. And it housed a dozen of sleek, winged and armed Mini-Flyers. "Wow!" Hitomi whispered in awe, as she walked towards the next Mini-Flyer for a closer inspection.

"Careful!" Ryo warned, but Hitomi didn´t even listen. She climbed into the pilots seat, switched on the machines and fired up the engine.

Immediatly the small flying vehicle rose up several feet above the ground. "That´s awesome, Ryo!" Hitomi smiled all over her face. "Inform the others. We´ve got reinforcements coming in! Get some pilots in here quickly! I´ll see where the hangar doors are. There have to be some after all!"

A great beginning to the storyline - I'm guessing that you've made the flyer MOC already, yes? ^.~

Anywho, how about the actual modular fortress/city idea? Now that I have Sentai Fortress I can start making a few real-life models to use as ideas...^.^

Thanks a lot!

About the Headquarter... Anytime, Trexxen! The actual modular fortress idea isn´t dead for sure. It´s still the main focus of this Project. But I want to implement the idea into the storyline so everything fits. I want to answer some questions before actually moving onto the Fortress. What about the rescue mission, what happens with Keiken, what´s this mysterious Golden City Outpost, and most important: How do the humans get back to Sentai Headquarter without the Robots noticing?

Right now I´m working on some visual stuff to not only help sell the story (as in fan-fic), but also to help boost interest in the whole project.

However, if I may kindly ask to leave the discussion about the Project at the project´s topic and spare this topic for discussions about the fan-fic/storyline?

(Snip) And most important: How do the humans get back to Sentai Headquarter without the Robots noticing?

(Snip)

Maybe we could use something used in the Vietnamese War, the tunnel system of the NVA/SVA?

[DJ Force]

Clever guy

To be honest, I already have the story laid out in detail, I just need to write it down. Without giving too many clues as to what I have in mind, it appears that great minds think alike, Wouwie

[Wouwie]

Well, I 'like' war, I find all the tactics and stuff intresting, and this just came up in my mind

Who said history was borig?! Me!

And yes, I'm smart!

[The Mugbearer]

Not bad, IMHO! ;) As someone here said, this is good beginning of the saga. ^_^

I have a Exo-Force fan fiction too, but it`s on Russian. I need a good translator to show you my fiction.

[DJ Force]

N130S: Glad you like it!

I couldnt speak a single Russian word for my life, otherwise I would have gladly volunteered to translate your story

Wouwie: good to read that, as I am planning to make the PSM storyline a little more mature and realistic, while still keeping the "spirit" of EF. Spent 8 years in the military service, that might help a little, too

[Trexxen]

Ah, no problem - just excited that this is actually getting somewhere.

It's great that we're fleshing out the future of EF, but the other end also needs some work - I haven't read the books, but I've seen synopses of them...a lot of backstory is missing. Why doesn't Keiken fight anymore? If Keiken is the trainer, who is above Keiken himself? Just how many other brave pilots are there in Exo-Force? And just what, other than them being the star pupils, makes these five so different from the rest?

Food for thought - omnomnomnom...

WOW, nicely written. Can't wait to see more.

I have 2 of the books and I read them, but to be honest, they are pretty childish. You didn´t miss anything if you didn´t read them.

As to your questions raised... I guess Keiken doesn´t fight anymore simply because he´s too old. And I think he´s not only the trainer, but the chosen leader of the Sentai Mountain population. Personally, I don´t see Keiken with the need of a further backstory. As to the other Exo-Force pilots and the 4 star pupils, I couldn´t agree more. They certainly need a lot more backstory. And to be honest: I´m open for input here

@Zero: Hopefully you´ll see more pretty soon. Depends on when my BL order arrives.

EDIT: Parts arrived, but are stuck at customs. Will have my wife pick them up monday, but since I have to work late on monday and tuesday I will not get to build anything before wednesday.

I hate customs and taxes. Ruined my weekend, as I would have been able to build if the parts were sent to me directly.

The vehicle is cool, but that Mecha´s legs look very fragile and I´m not too keen on that open cockpit.

Nevertheless I would have prefered ii if you had posted those MOCs in a MOC-Topic instead of the Story-Topic of my Fan-Fic

[Manta]

Great storyline, I suck at storylines.

Whoops sorry!

[DJ Force]

No Problemo!

Pictures added in the first post!

Can you spot the hidden special guest?

Noooooo!!!

The walrus! Sinner is here!

Retreat! Code red!

Just kidding, if you read this, Sinner

But the pics and the scene looks super great!

[Adam]

Great storyline, but can we add to the plot? Like the SWCG? Maybe I'll make a prequel...

[DJ Force]

Thanks a lot!

I have the whole storyline in my mind. I might use suggestions if they fit into what I made up or make polls, what actions should be taken next.

But I´d rather not have this multi-writeresque.

However, you can always PM me with storylines or ideas and together we can work things out "behind the scenes" to publish the results later.

You have to keep in mind that I have to have the possibilities (e.g. bricks and sets) to build scenes and take pictures for the story. If someone makes up a plot and invents new characters, machines or sceneries, I have to have the bricks to build all this. If I don´t have them, I cannot make photos.

Okay, enough blabla

I´m happy to receive input via PM :smile:
