26 AGE Bloodlines

*ALERT*ALERT*

[All personal to battle stations]

A middle aged man sighed as he jogged towards the hanger bay. This was getting old… he was getting old. Maybe he should retire soon.

*Boom*

An explosion echoed beside the man as the wall besides him started deforming. He had enough time to activate the suit helmet and atmosphere system before the wall broke apart and sucked him out

And Into space.

"Scarlet" the man called calmly

[Yeah boss]

"I'm heading away from the carrier"

[Yup]

"I'm guessing towards planet B-420"

[You're about to enter the planet's atmosphere Boss]

"Scarlet"

[Yeah Boss]

"It's gonna hurt isn't it?"

[…yeah]

"Oh well. At least I have pain tolerance. Makes you wonder where that 40% luck increase went now doesn't it"

[You're awfully calm about this Boss]

"Well, I kinda knew this was gonna be a shitty trip compared to the last one ever since I knew where I was" Xander shrugged in resignation

[It's not that bad]

"It's fucking Gundam AGE" Xander growled

[It's…]

"AGE!" he interrupted as Scarlet just braced herself for another rant "any, and I mean ANY, other Gundam series would do… but he sent me to Gundam AGE!"

[Entering atmosphere] Scarlet announced, maybe dying would help him cope

And so, Chief Engineer Alex Dorna was killed in action at the age of 53.

---

"AGE!" an indignant shout was heard at an otherwise calm sea

Xander was pacing in front of Rex while speaking a mile a minute about how AGE was the worst Gundam series and so on and so forth.

"OK" shouted Rex, he had enough "what Gundam?"

"What?" asked Xander

"Which Gundam do you want?"

Xander frowned "what use is that, I can't take it with me, the inventory is infinite but can only store things of certain size"

Rex smiled "maybe you would like to use your fifth wish for this then" he then presented another System window "this can only be accessed here. Here you can buy stuff from previous worlds you visited or system upgrades and it uses your Body and Mind stats as currency"

Xander was wide eyed as he saw the list.

From the system he looked for what he wanted and found it.

[Touch something from the outside and think of storing it in your inventory and it will be stored as long as there is no living being inside it] (1000p)

Xander saw the price and looked for what he has.

4178 points. His wealth from two lives and he was about to spend a quarter in an instant…

"Sold!"

"Great" smiled Rex "now what Gundam did you want?"

Xander paused sceptically "…You're just gonna give it to me?"

"Of course…not" Rex smiled warily "You will have to promise not to get angry about the next world you go to and that you won't immediately kill yourself while there"

"That bad huh" Xander visibly sagged

"For most, no, for you… yeah" Rex confirmed

Xander looked thoughtful for a minute then nodded "I want Wing Gundam Zero and its EW version"

"DEAL!" exclaimed Rex immediately

"Why do I feel I just got played" Xander thought grimly

---

'This feels weird' Xander thought as he opened his eyes 'I don't recognise the roof…'

[Um… Xander…]

As Xander looks around he sees a beautiful woman in red sitting on a couch chair smiling at him. his instincts flare as the door to what appears to be a motel room opens and a large man dives at him with a stake in hand.

"oh…" was the last thing Xander spoke before darkness took over him

---

When Xander regained consciousness he was on a stage with what seems to be a posh bastard speaking about breaking of a code… a masquerade.

'Scarlet'

[Yeah boss]

'He's saying that turning people into vamps without permission is punishable by death' Xander's voice was calm… in his head

[Yes boss]

'And the pompous ass wants to kill the vampire woman in the red coat'

[Yes boss]

'Who did she turn…?'

[You boss]

'Oh… I'm going to kill him'

[You can't boss, you had a deal]

'I'm not angry and I'm not killing myself… just him'

[At least here vampires still have their souls] Scarlet comforted [until they kill innocents]

'You know this world?' Xander asked curiously

[Talk later Boss, it seems you're up]

'Is that guy defending me?'

[That's the leader of a separate faction that seeks peace]

'And how many factions are there?'

[Three main ones and the rest are just powerful individuals]

---

Xander was in front of the Pompous ass as the ass was spewing shit about a "Code of conduct" and that Xander is to do a "Trial" in Santa Monica.

bullshit

---

Just out the backstage door a man approached Xander asking if he wants to show him the ropes…

"No thanks, I'll be fine"

Without another beat, I'm out of there as fast as the fledgling body can take me. I'm not playing the game, and fuck the trial. That pompous ass can take his trial and shove it up his ass.

A wolf was running in the woods of Canada at night. It looked like any other wolf, but its eyes had inelegance that was beyond the norm.

"What do you want wolfy?" a calm voice called from the darkness as if directly in the wolf's ear

The wolf stopped abruptly as it started to look around. A moment later it began to transform until a man was standing there "might we speak face to face, like civilised beings?"

"Sure thing wolfy" spoke the same voice, only now it was behind him

The man turned to see a young man with dark hair and a long cloak that seems to be made of bearskin "and who might you be?"

"Nonna" the man replied

"Well Nonna, My name is Beckett and I go where my interest takes me" the man now identified as Beckett replied to the frowning man

"Take my fun why don't ya" Nonna complained

"Whatever do you mean?" Beckett asked

"You were supposed to go "Nonna?" and then I'd go "Nonna yo Business" but nooo, you gotta be one of THOSE types that just accepts the name and…" as Nonna… Xander walked away he was ranting at people with no common sense and so on

As Becket watched the man in bearskin go, he couldn't help but think 'this is the Forest Guardian?'

*1 year earlier*

"Finally, it took me two months to get here" Xander exclaimed in joy. He had used the Zombies ID to travel as it had no sun, eternal night and everything

[I still say you could've taken a car]

"Hey now, I farmed and trained on the way here. I also got the basics of blood magic from the Big Ugly" Xander Joked

[So what now?]

"Now I train" Xander exclaimed happily

[You've already been doing that] Scarlet spoke with a tired huff

"Now I do more training. The only thing that doesn't betray you and all that" Xander waved his hand dismissively

[Joy] deadpanned Scarlet
