Meca-One's Return

Here's a story I'm writing in the LMB

Many decades of peace have elapsed since the final battle which struck down the robots. The sensei was soon replaced by Ryo and under him, many things bloomed. The robot side of the mountain was soon repaired and the humans lived in peace with robots, which they took care to program correctly. However, several of the veteran warriors feel unease as a new generation of battle-machine pilots take their places. They somehow felt... that a new shadow, greater than the old, was growing... and that it would soon be revealed.

Enter Gincho, a promising pilot-in-training from a rich family on the robotic side of the mountain. His parents had requested that he join the Exo-Force in order to train him well. He was tall, young, well-built, and smart... but, his main weakness which the trainers and veterans constantly warned him of was this: he was very, very proud.

Gincho shifted in his seat, anxious to be off. Today would be the day he, and the rest of the students, went of on their second training mission. Robots would line the forest, while he and the others sneaked through and retrieved the prize. Robots were easy, he thought, the hard part was the race.

What was the race? Well, the students were to be split up into two teams and, avoiding robots - or possibly having to fight them, would race to the prize.
An instructor called for the "ready." Gincho grinned as he flipped a switch; time for a lesson in defeat.

The machines roared through the jungle. Although this was only a training mission, Gincho kept his sense alert. For although the mountain was tamed, nothing could silence this wild jungle.
He pressed the intercom button and quickly muttered, "Firebird to Thunderhawk: I see a robot. Shall I take it out or save it for the other team?"
"Thunderhawk to Firebird: kill it."
Gincho grinned. He loved action. With a soft halt, he activated his gun from his position behind the robot. But, where was the fun in that if the robot didn't fight? No, Gincho edged around and prepared to come at full force...
