One: Gundam Reborn
Prologue
The year is After Colony (AC.) 220. The earth and the manmade space colonies are one total nation whose ideals are those of total pacifism. However, years ago before the rise of the Unified Earth Sphere Nation, (UESN) a war was waged where weapons called Mobile Suits (MS) were used by both opposing forces. Then the most radical and deadliest MS ever came into play called Gundam. In all, there were nine Gundam: Wing, Death Scythe, Heavy Arms, Sand Rock, Shenlong, Death Scythe Hell, Nataku, Wing Zero, and Epyon. The pilots of these mobile suits eventually settled down and married when their war was over. These are the pilots and their wives: Heero Yuy and Relena, Duo Maxwell and Hilde, Trowa Barton and Rika (A\N: yes a completely made up character). In addition, Quatre Winner and Dorothy, Wufei Chang and Sally, and Millardo Peacecraft and Noin were also married. Of these, only three had children Duo and Hilde had Katrina and Mack; Wufei and Sally had Meiran and Sally; Millardo and Noin had Seiko. In part, this was because Quatre and Trowa had been killed in an explosion twelve years earlier.

CHAPTER 1: Enemy Unknown
It was another typical Sunday at the Maxwell family household, Mack and Duo were both out at the junkyard.
Soon Mack turned his head to the ceiling of the colony, "Look dad it's an airplane."
Duo sifted through some junk. "Yep, looks like a carrier…" he was cut off by a deafening explosion. "Missiles," screamed Duo in shock, "in the colony!"
Before Duo and Mack could hurry to shelter, a white and blue MS and wings like an angel's appeared out of nowhere.
"Wing Zero," whispered Duo in awe as Mobil Doll (MD) Virgo, MD Virgo II, and MS Serpent filed out of the carrier and headed strait for Wing Zero.
"Mack you get your mother and your sister and get to shelter I'll be with you in a minute," ordered Duo running off in the opposite direction of the twenty-one-year-old bomb shelter.
Before Mack could even reach the other side of the junkyard, there was a deafening explosion that threw the father and son duo to the ground. Looking at the skyline, Mack only registered three tawny MS and, a cloud of smoke issuing pieces of flaming derbies and sparks.
"Heero… they didn't … but… Heero!" Duo whispered in an enraged state of shock.
"Dad are you all right?" asked Mack getting to his feet and limping over to his father who was sitting on the ground mumbling to himself.
"Dad can you get up?'' inquired the fifteen-year-old repeating himself, a long gash down his leg and a deep cut on his arm, his short brown hair deshelved and scuffed.
"Yeah, I can get up, but I'm surprised that you can," answered Duo getting off the ground and grabbing a large iron rod with a V at the top, and gave it to his son. "Here, you can use this as a crutch until we get to the bomb shelter. Those MS are still hovering up there."
As if cued by Duo's comment the three mobile suits took a quick descent and landed only a few blocks away from the junkyard.
"What the heck do they think they're doing?" Duo thought aloud. "Go on get to the bomb shelter, Mack. I'll tell you, your mother, and your sister when it's safe to come ou…" Duo stopped shouting over the roar of the machines walking near by, when the three MS lined themselves up side by side. They then simultaneously fired what was left of their ammunition at the head governor's office of the colony. Then after the shock wave had passed over the entire colony they ascended into the awaiting carrier.

On the other side of the L2 colonial cluster, the Chang family had made their residence….
All was well in the Chang house/dôjo; Wufei was training his daughter, who had the same name as her mother, who had died, soon after giving birth in an explosion at the hospital.
"Dad, what was mother like?" inquired Sally, out of curiosity, during a practice bout with her father. That set Wufei completely off guard which allowed Sally to almost land a kick, but Wufei dodged in time and landed a blow that knocked Sally to the floor her chestnut colored braid landing in her mouth.
"Well," said Wufei sitting down signifying that the match was over, "she wa…." Wufei was cut off by a deafening explosion. Luckily Wufei still retained his battle sense from being a Gundam pilot enough to pull Sally across the floor just before a MS's foot crashed down where she had stood only moments before. Then the rest of the roof came crashing in around them.

Mack was sitting in the kitchen waiting for his father to finish his phone call to the Chang and Yuy households, so he could tell his friends what had happened earlier.
"Well, I couldn't reach Wufei, his phone line was probably out. Also Relena said that Heero had left a few days ago claiming to be on business," the former priest in training said dejectedly, putting the cordless telephone in his shirt pocket.
"Dad, what are you doing with the phone? I still haven't had a chance to called anyone about the MS," Mack pointed out, wondering if his father had even noticed that he had put the telephone in his pocket.
"I think it's better that not many people know…for now anyway. Also I don't want you to get too interested in that phone call, when you, your sister, and I have a trip we need to go on," Duo decided, a smirk on his face.
"What trip? Vacation isn't until next week," Mack narrowed his eyes.
"It's not that kind of trip, Mack, we're going to the Winner Natural Resources Satellite." declared Duo, producing a small credit card looking thing.

The Maxwell family, Mack, Kat, (her real name is Katrina), and Duo - Hilde didn't want to come - were well greeted by the Winner sisters. Who gave them all rooms with the best views of the colony and told them they could stand a while, if they like, since it was such a long flight. In addition, the Chang family wasn't there yet, but would be contacted soon and hopefully arrive before the day was over.
