Good evening dear readers, for a long time I haven't posted anything on Fanfiction, mostly because I read things, do stuff in life, work etc. But this story, has spooked long in my mind. Especially when I read Fallen Angel from Wilkins75. I grew up with Mobile Suit Gundam Wing and Heero Yuy is one of my favorites Pilots, especially because it was the first of many Gundam Anime that I watched. What I do hope is that I brought Heero out like we see him in the series. So, I hope you would like my new story, slow update like all my stories and enjoy!

Morgenroete, hidden hangar...

A low humming sound grew in strength when a light flickered to life in the cockpit of a mobile suit. First that activated was a large blue sphere at the center of the cockpit control center which quickly basked the whole area in light, next that followed were five main screens which smoothly overlapped each other and formed together a single screen with narrowly a crack between them. On the screen thick bold, vertical letters appeared on the screen that formed a word.

G.U.N.D.A.M

Each letter in that word stands for something. A name that five certain scientists knew that one day this very Mobile suite will change the world. Earth's populations' lifestyle will change, because this machine is a harbinger of what War truly means and becomes a symbol for the Earth and Colonist, for the first mentioned a machine of Death, for the other a Machine of Freedom. And with those thoughts in mind, these scientists came with a codename for this special made branch of Mobile Suits: Genetic on Universal Neutrality Different Alloy-nium Mobile suit or in short ––- GUNDAM. Each of these scientists trained their own unique pilot, which are fundamental to the war. These five unique pilots are specially trained to control these Mobile suits that they built in the name for Peace. Each mobile suit has their own unique special ability which gave them their own unique code names. This Mobile Suit which is a weapon of mass destruction under a Gundam Pilot control carries the name –– XXXG-00W0 Wing Zero.

This special made Mobile suit belongs to a young man that has fought in wars since he could walk. His childhood was being spent in the company of an Assassin who had taught him how to blend in with the common folk. His father, Odin Lowe, a freelance assassin, but before his death, Odin told the boy to live by his emotions. The boy had wandered colonies after colonies until a scientist found him that calls himself Doctor J.

Doctor J offered the young boy training and a purpose: fighting for the freedom of the colonies. Many years the boy was taught the arts of war, engineering mobile suits or any other machine and how to blend in with not only common people, though it was increased by using those skills to infiltrate military bases, and aristocratic settings. After those years, Doctor J decided to give the boy a name –- Heero Yuy, named after the peaceful political leader of the colonies.

Heero Yuy was sent on his most important mission, freeing the colonies. Disguised the Mobile suit like a stray meteor, Gundam Wing descended towards the planet earth and starts Operation Meteor. A year-long battle with the Romefeller Foundation and the Alliance founds many victims on each side until Heero's latest battle which was named the Eve War. And since then, no one had seen Gundam Wing Zero or its pilot ever again.

As for the Pilot, Heero Yuy eyes fluttered open at the sounds of Wing Zero becoming active. His chair which was in a flat position slid back towards its normal, seated position. "Zero," Images flashed through the pilot's mind. "I see, a new war will soon be upon us." New images appeared in his mind, and the pilot smiled. "I'll be back in time, Zero. If I can help the future pilot with fine-tuning the Mobile suit, then those who fight for the future of mankind have a higher survival chance in the upcoming war."

Wing Zero's cockpit slides open and the young man slipped out of the Mobile Suit. Landing on a platform, Heero made his way towards the exit. The Gundam pilot found some amusement at the idea that his Mobile suit was also stored away in Morgenroete, yet in a secret hangar of which the young man had wiped all data from their main server.

Heero made his way out of Morgenroete and enters a hidden garage in which a small blue, red motorbike awaits him. "Time for work," He reffed his engine and the garage door slid open and the Gundam pilot disappeared with a roar of his engine.

Morgenroete, Park...

"Hey, Kira!" A young teenage boy tilted his head up, and eyes left the screen of his laptop. Glancing in the direction of the voice, Kira noticed his friend waving at him. "Kira Yamato! Here you are! Professor Kato has been looking all over for you! He said if we found you to send you over to the Morgenroete lab."

"Again…?" Kira drops his head tiredly at the thought of being called. "I wish he'd just leave me alone."

"It's not surprising the Professor favors you," said Kira's friend. He could sympathize with the young man, but nevertheless, a smile appeared. "After all, you're number one in the science department in your class."

Birdie… The mechanic robotic bird chirped and lands on the edge of the laptop screen.

Kira's attention and those of his friends turned back to the boy's laptop. 'And now for a special news alert… ZAFT Forces have invaded Kaohsiung early this morning before dawn. Even now, the battle rages on between ZAFT and the Earth Alliance.' A news reporter of the NCC told her viewers the news. 'This is a live broadcast from the battle.'

Kira and his friends watch the live broadcast of a Ginn blowing up an ambassador building. Below the ZAFT Mobile suit, civilians were fleeing, screaming and trying to reach one of the shelters. One of Kira's friends, a girl noticed many lifeless bodies which were Natural and Coordinators, both civilian and military.

"This is terrible, how could ZAFT invade a city and lay waste. Does ZAFT not care that they also lose their own people in war?" She said, tears sprang to life and slid down her cheeks. "Tolle, isn't Kaohsiung close to the ORB Mainland?"

Tolle stepped closer towards the girl, wrapping his right arm around her shoulder in a form of comfort. "Don't worry, Miriallia… there's no way the battle will be brought to ORB."

Miriallia turns around in his arms, burying her face and trying to banish the thoughts of war from her mind. "I hope you're right..."

In outer space…

Not far from the space colony; Heliopolis, a spaceship drifts closer towards the secret docking station of the neutral space colony. "Axis adjust to the right 6.51 points," a voice calls out through the command centrum of the ship. "Entry vector satisfactory, sir."

"Go straight, slowly, very good people." says the captain, watching them getting closer to hangar 13.

"Braking yets off," A communicator operator informs his captain. "Rate of deceleration 2.56."

Inside the command center, the captain addresses the communicator operator. "After docking, see that the G Pilots disembark immediately."

"Yes, sir!"

"Are you sure it's wise to let them go escorted?" Turning his head, Captain Ray notice a young man, with sun blonde hair, enters the command center. "A ZAFT Special OPS team might have infiltrated."

"What makes you say that, Lieutenant Flaga?" Captain Ray says and stroked his mustache.

Lieutenant Flaga stopped in front of his captain. "I find it curious that the two ZAFT ships that tailed us didn't attack. And although ORB may be friendly towards Earth, it's still a neutral nation. We can't be certain that there aren't agents loyal to the ZAFT here."

Ray pushed himself off from his chair and looks the young man in the eyes. "I understand your misgivings, but what would be the point of ambushing us here…?" Flaga narrows his eyes slightly when the captain disregards his misgiving. "The ZAFT are smart enough to realize that."

Flaga sighed and tried to make the last point of reason. "And if they simply decide to violate the treaty? Are you willing to rely on their sense of honor?"

"I will take that chance, Lieutenant Flaga." Spoke the captain sharply. "Even if they infiltrate this colony, our G pilots will be enough to stop them, and if they use their suits –- our new Mobile suits will destroy theirs." Moving towards the exit, Captain Ray left Flaga with a few last words. "Finally the Alliance has the power to change this war in our favor."

Kira walks down the street with his two friends towards the Morgenroete facility. "So, what's Professor Kato researching at Morgenroete?" Tolle voices out to his friend, who tilts his chin slightly up in thoughts and answered.

"Hmmm… I think he may be developing some sort of new operating system..."

"Maybe…? You don't even know what you're helping him on?!" A surprised Tolle loudly voiced out. The blonde boy shook his head slightly, wondering how his airhead of a friend could be so simple-minded.

Miriallia too joined in the conversation, and sighs deeply."That's so typical of you."

Kira paused in his step and looks his two friends in their eyes. "But I'm just a student assistant. He doesn't give me any details!" The boy defenses himself from the onslaught of his friends, only for a commotion further down the street gathering their attention. Immediately a pink hue adorned his face when his eyes land on a beautiful girl. 'Flay...'

"Oh, Miriallia," a girl with two pigtails called out towards Kira female friend. "Did you hear the big news?" At which Miriallia shakes her head, and the other girl quickly shared the news. "Flay Allster got a love letter from Sai Argyle!"

Miriallia eyes grew in size, and she loudly exclaimed. "Hunh? From Sai, are you serious?!"

Flay quickly stepped in front of her friend, and planted a hand on her mouth, silencing the girl. "C'mon! This has nothing to do with Miriallia!" She angrily shouts out towards Kira's female companion.

Flay friend stepped out of the reach of her hand and laughed. "Flay, why don't you just say yes? He's not all that bad." Only for Flay Allster planting her hands on her hips, and her voice rising in volume.

"I said enough already!"

A young man on a red-blue motorcycle shakes his head at the commotion the children made when he rode past them. Making his engine roar, the rider upped the speed of his bike and made his way towards Morgenroete. After a few minutes, the young man arrives at a control post and kills off his engine.

"Identification papers," A mechanic voice came from the speakers.

Wordlessly the young man pulled out his identification card and held it in front of the scanner. "Odin Lowe of ORB, engineer expert. Your papers are in order, sir, please proceed."

Odin secured his I.D back in his pocket and then brought the engines back to life. With a roar, Odin's bike rode past the security gate. 'For a highly secured base, Morgenroete security is lackadaisical. I could enter this so easily with a forged I.D, even Duo could do it.'

Coming to a stop and killing off his engine, Odin parked his bike around the corner and then made his way into the base. The entrance door slid open and his sharp blue eyes immediately noticed the girl in the corner. "Good day, Miss."

"Hello," She nodded in his direction, returning the gesture.

"Are you perhaps waiting for someone?" Odin says and took his time to study this girl. The girl in his opinion is beautiful. She has light brown eyes which held sharp attention on her surroundings, and a cute face, full lips which were rosy glossed, and blonde hair framing her face, with two long bangs on each side.

"Professor Kato told me to wait here, yet that has been a while." She said.

Odin nods in understanding. "I understand, when my path crosses that of Professor Kato, I will inform him of your situation. If you excuse me, work still waits for me."

"Of course, sorry that I held you here and thank for your help." She watches him entering the elevator. Her eyes widened when he turned around and could not help to find him strikingly handsome. "Cagalli! Athha Cagalli is my name –– what is yours?!"

Odin glanced up at the girl who suddenly called out to him. This girl slightly reminds him of another girl. "Next time we meet, Miss Yutha, I will share my name with you."

Cagalli cheeks puffed up like those of a squirrel while she glared at the young man who kept his eyes on her while the elevator doors closed. "Uaagh… boys!"

"Who is that?" She glares only harder when someone interrupted her feminine fury with a question, and that fury increased when a person responded. "He is a guest of the Professor." Turning around, Cagalli scowled at the group of boys and one girl. "Here Kira, Professor Kato want you to look at this O.S."

'On what kind of observation skills did he assume me a boy! Doesn't he has eyes in that thick head of his to see that my form clearly is opposite than that of them.' She turns her head slightly up. 'At least, Mr. Lowe could see that my form is clearly female, yet refusing to give me his name while it clearly was visibly on the nameplate on his chest.' She shakes her head at the thought of how mysterious the man wanted to stay, yet was clearly ignorant of his nameplate.

Suddenly a shockwave erupted through the colony, causing everyone to lose their balance. Cagalli threw herself against the wall and prepared for a second wave. 'Is it them that are attacking Heliopolis? Does this mean that those rumors were true –– and ORB had a hand into this?'

"What was that just now?" Cagalli looks up when the girl spoke up.

'This is a Warning Announcement! Civilians this is a level 9 emergency! ZAFT has just invaded Heliopolis! Warning! Civilians search for the closest shelter and await further instruction.'

"Miriallia, Kira! We need to leave this place." She heard a boy shouts out, and then a second voice joined, only his were aimed at her. Cagalli looks up at the boy who could almost pass out for her, only a male version with brown hair.

"Hey, you! Come with us, we know the way towards the shelters." Kira shouts, his voice carrying over the explosion that happens outside of the building. Stretching out a hand, reaching out towards the girl. Seconds ticked away while the young boy waits for the girl to move, after what felt like centuries, she moved. Reaching out with her own hand towards his, only to slap his hand aside.

Cagalli glares at the boy. "Don't you dare to think that all girls are the damsel in distress. I perfectly can take care of my own." She huffed and squirmed her way past him and through the doorway to join the others.

Kira blinks his eyes in confusion. "What was that all about?"

An explosion occurred just a few buildings away from Morgenroete and Kira quickly stepped through the doorway and joined the group. "Uhm...It wasn't my intention to implicate that girls are helpless...uhm..." He said once reaching her.

"Cagalli, my name is Cagalli." She calls out over her shoulder. "And I wonder how a girly looking boy like you could be any Knight in a girls situation. Despite that, thank you for helping me. I don't think that I would have found my way to any of the shelters."

A red hue quickly crawled up the boy's face. "It was nothing, Cagalli, and please call me Kira."

The group of children quickly joined with those of the other civilians and workers of Morgenroete. Running through the hallways, until coming to a door that Kira pushed open and seeing more people moving into the shelters. "Does someone knows why ZAFT is attacking us?" Tolle asks one of the people that guide the civilians into the shelters.

"We don't know, kid now moves aside because you hold all these people up. We're evacuating all these people, don't you see that?" The person barks out and signaled with his light rod that the people must move calmly into the shelters. Tolle turns around when the voice of Miriallia rose up.

"Kira where are you going –- it's not safe out there!" Tolle turns around, only to see that the boy with blonde hair and Kira both turn around the corner and out of sight. "Kira come back here! Kira!"

Kira Yamato runs through the corridors, following the girl who had suddenly taken off from the group. "Cagalli, wait! Where are you going!" Shouts the boy, breathing deeply while trying to keep up with the girl. "Cagalli, stop..." Demanded the boy who managed to grasp her wrist.

"I need to check on something," She snarls, before roughly pulling herself free and started running again with Kira on her heels. "Go back, Kira."

"No! I won't go back without you. This place is no longer safe..." Just at that moment, a wall exploded behind him and flung him against the girl, and together they rolled further down the corridor. Kira came to a stop, and a painful whimper left his throat. Shaking his head, only feeling something soft press against his face. 'What is this...' Turning his head slightly, and his eyes land on a valley of soft flesh. 'It's warm...and soft...' Looking past the valley of the heavenly softness. A pair of raging eyes glares down at him which froze him for a second before his body suddenly gained an electric shock.

Jumping off Cagalli and standing a few feet away from her. "Y...Yo...You… are a GIRL!"

Cagalli eyebrows twitched and her hands clenched into fists. "Yo...You… Pervert!"

Their voices rang down the corridors, and only the sounds of pistols and bullets ricochetting from the walls covered their sounds. "Of course I'm a girl, what did you think I was?" Snarled the girl.

"Uhm..."

Cagalli didn't let Kira try to explain, and she turns around abruptly. "Go back, Kira… there is no need for you to follow me."

"I can't," She turns around when hearing the boy. "The corridor we moved through has caved in. Despite that, how could I let you go alone without anyone keeping an eye on you."

A low growl escaped her throat in anger. She clenched her fists again and turned around abruptly before storming off. After a few corners and long corridors, Kira and Cagalli arrived at a tall looking door with bold letter type which showed the number 13. "Where are we?"

Cagalli glanced from out of the corner of her eyes at her companion. "Behind this door, I hope to find an empty space instead of the rumors that are spread around." Her fingers hovered over the keypad before tapping several buttons. A second later with a hiss of air, the door slides open and the two moved through the door opening. The two stepped on a higher platform that looks out over the production factory below. "No, the rumors were true. Father, why did you betray us!" She shouts out while the strength in her legs gave out and she sunk towards the floor.

Below them were five mobile suits, each one of them looks different than the other. 'These Mobile suits do not look like something ZAFT or what the Earth Alliance could make. It is known to everyone that the Earth forces could not make a Mobile suit that could be compared with those of ZAFT. Which means that only my father and his people could make a Mobile suit of their caliber.'

"Mobile suits?"

Cagalli looks up when she heard the voice of her companion. "There is no doubt –- these are Mobile suits build by ORB. I cannot believe that my fa–-" She was cut off by an explosion that announced the new chapter of war between the Earth Alliance and the Colonies.

At the Morgenroete secret Factory…

Below the kids at the main floor of the factory, Odin Lowe sits behind the control typing away at the Main Operation System of the new Mobile suits that the cooperated group of the Earth Alliance and the Orb Union works on. 'The Earth Alliance is building new Mobile suits here at Morgenroete which are codenamed the GAT-Models. Any of these new Alliance models easily outclass any normal M.S. of ZAFT with their unique features and armaments. One of the GAT-Models special features is the use of Phase Shift Armor which renders the M.S. immune to physical attacks, yet it has one glaring weakness.' Odin looks up at the Mobile Suit which data is being copied at the moment. 'Namely, the constant draining of the main battery once this feature is activated which shortens the Mobile Suit combat endurance drastically.' Pressing down the last few keys, Odin could not help to let a smirk grace his face when the download bar was at 90%.

"FOR ZAFT!" A small sphere rolled over the floor which came to a stop when small legs ejected itself and attached itself to the floor. A whirring sound was heard and several small holes opened. "DIE YOU NATURALS DOGS!" More spheres rolled over the ground, and the first of them released bullets.

"Guaaaah!"

Odin snatched at the first sounds of screams the disk from the Mobile suit control panel. That action was quickly followed by the young man drawing his handgun out of his backside and climbed out of the GAT-model cockpit. "They are here… Zero, start the process of Mission M." Odin activated the voice command of his suit. His gun already moved on instinct and a trigger later. A ZAFT soldier lay on ground, death, a bullet freshly through his head between the eyes.

Moving swiftly Odin kneeled next beside the dead soldier and quickly searched for a communicator. Finding one and several other items that the dead soldier carried, Odin quickly snatched them and moved swiftly through the factory. "There is a dirty Natural Dog!" He heard the insults which a soldier in a red space suit throws at him. Odin's eyes narrowed when they fell at the end of a barrel, swiftly the man jumped out of the rifles path and found protection behind a few metal crates. Bullets tore through his previous position and with a swift movement Odin ejected himself off the floor, and landed with his side on a castor board and surfed over the ground. Six times his handgun released a bullet, and each of them dragged their victims to hell.

"Rusty!" A cry of rage comes from one of the soldiers. It was a Red soldier who has landed beside the one that Odin had just claimed its life from. "You killed him! You… I will kill youuu!" A bullet tore through the air and Odin quickly rolled out of the bullet's path. While rolling a bullet of his own left the end of his gun and tore through the soldiers shooting shoulder. "You dirty bastard … how dare a low, nasty Natural hit a coordinator?!"

Odin planted his hand on the ground and with the speed the castor board moved, he used that to jump into the air and at its highest point he pulled the trigger. The first bullet tore through the red soldier rifle, yet the second one missed when a bullet tore through his shoulder. "Shit! He got someone to back him up," Quickly, and ignoring his own wound, Odin released his pistol that was swiftly caught in his other hand and immediately shot at the one that buried that bullet into his shoulder and claimed the life of a green soldier. "One down, and the red soldier has escaped me," Suddenly one of the new GAT-Models lifted itself in a seated position before standing on its feet, its green eyes flashed to life. 'or not. ZAFT objective was stealing the GAT-Models, and right now one of them just succeeded.'

A dement laughter rang through the speakers of the GAT-X102 model which was codenamed the Duel. "I'm going to kill you, nasty earth crawler! Let's see if you can shoot me now with your little handgun." The Duel moved, only not like the pilot expected. "As expected, Naturals cannot even build a Mobile Suit!" Snarled the pilot, and it was true. This Mobile suit had no balance, it staggered forward trying to reach Odin. "If I cannot flat you when stomping on you, I will shoot you –– what! No weapons equipped?!"

Odin quickly moved out of range of this mad pilot. He had some luck that the skills of these engineers are mediocre at best, unlike his own Professors which had built the original Gundams in his universe. "Zero, calculate the shortest way back… Roger then," Odin commanded and almost immediately gained the information needed to make his way back through the earpiece communicator. Making his way through several obstacles, his handgun released several bullets which claim their victims. Once reaching the entrance that leads towards the corridor that would lead him back, Odin pulled out the metal sphere and activate the mechanism and rolled it towards a group of enemies while he vanished into the darkness provided by the shadows.

Running swiftly through the dark corridors, Odin moved like a shadow. His steps made no sounds when his heel met the ground, and his breathing was even. After all the training he did in his universe Odin could not help to feel disappointed in the way how easily the ZAFT soldiers who were engineered humans were taken down. For them to claim they are the better species, so far the soldier hadn't seen any proof of it. "There he is!" Odin caught the sounds of his pursuers which were quickly followed by the sounds of their steps. Rounding several corners and at the last one he pulled the sphere out. Activating the tool of death, Odin quickly rounded the last corner, only to crash against a shadow.

"Ouch! Watch out where you ru–-"

Odin quickly silenced the girl by clamping a hand over her lips. Pushing the person until its back touched the wall and then pressed his lower arm against the neck and the end of the gun against the sleep of her head. "Who are you?" Demanded the young man, and his eyes took in the shadow silhouette of the stranger. After a few seconds with his trained eyes, Odin could make vaguely out the form of the person, someone he had met before. "Miss Attha?" The question came out in a whisper, at which the girl nodded slightly, still afraid of the gun that was pressed against her head. "I trust that you do not impersonate Miss Attha, girl, because that will not end well for you." Threatened the young man coldly in warning. "I find it curious what a civilian is doing in this part of Morgenroete without any concession documents, but at the moment that is not important. What important is right now is that this whole place had become a Red Zone area and would not be a safe place for a civilian like you." The death screams of his pursuers echo off the wall when their own weapons killed them, and Cagalli shivered in fear of what this could have meant for her. "We need to move, Miss Attha," He pulled the weapon away from the girl and his hand moved towards the wrist of Cagalli and pulled her along.

With Cagalli before...

Cagalli's eyes widened in proportion when she witnessed the death of all those engineers. She had a clear view of her position on the higher platform at which they were hiding. 'How did ZAFT found out about the hidden factory here at Heliopolis?' She crawled back to stay out of sight from the people below. "Kira," Cagalli turned her eyes towards her companion. "We need to..."

"Watch out!" Her eyes grew in shock as they followed Kira jump to his feet. "Behind you," and before she knew what happened, Kira had thrown himself over the railing of the platform and jumped down on a green soldier which was crushed under the weight of Kira.

The girl could only growl in anger at the reckless behavior of her companion. 'That idiot! Did he not see how dangerous it is there with all the soldiers. Does he have some kind of death wish?!' Cagalli furiously thought, and climbed to her feet. She was just in time to witness the kid being thrown in the last remaining Mobile suit in the Alliance possession. 'Just great, now I'm left behind with a mass of murdering Coordinaten.' Cagalli turned on her heel and quickly entered an entrance a few feet away from her. Moving through the darkness and letting her hands guide her. 'I need to escape this place. If I knew ZAFT from the news that is broadcasted the past two years, they won't let Heliopolis go unpunished. Especially after Orb Union announced to be a Neutral side,' Her hands slipped when the wall gave away into nothingness and she fell head first into a hole. She slid down the smooth wall, tumbling and rolling until she landed on her rear ends. A groan escaped her lips when she leaned against the wall and pushed herself back into a standing position while rubbing her sore butt cheeks.

Slowly the sounds of fighting grew in volume, which reaches the girl's position. The rattling of rifles which pumps their victims full of bullets or the cries of those are hit by their opposition. It slowly dawned on the girl that she found herself here in danger with no help or worst her father. Her father does not have the slightest idea that his only daughter has traveled into space with the only idea of satisfying her own curiosity. "I… I, I will not die here..." Cagalli forced her legs to move. She started slowly, forcing her legs in placing one foot in front of the other until she started to run. Her feet led the girl through the darkness and she rounds a few corners until she ran face first into a firm chest. Cagalli let out a scream in fright before a hand covered her mouth and she was pushed back until her back hit the wall, she then felt the person's arm against her throat, blocking her airway.

"Who are you?" Cagalli had never in all her life heard such a cold, emotionless voice speak towards her. The girl's body paralyzed in fear, and probably it took her assaulter too long to gain an answer from her because she felt the end of a gun rest against the side of her head. She could feel the cold metal of the weapon against her skin until the person spoke again, however, this time his voice was less cold. "Miss Athha?" Cagalli had not expected to hear her own name leave the stranger's mouth, and slowly nods her head, yet, her eyes widened when the stranger cold voice returned threateningly. "I trust that you do not impersonate Miss Athha, girl, because that will not end well for you." The darkness covered the man which he obviously is with his voice, and she could not place how this person knew her name. "I find it curious what a civilian is doing in this part of Morgenroete without any concession documents, but at the moment that is not important. What important is right now is that this whole place had become a Red Zone area and would not be a safe place for a civilian like you." As if the threatening voice wasn't enough, a mere second later the death screams of the fighters bounce off the walls of the corridors and filling the air. "We need to move, Miss Athha," Cagalli sighed when the stranger pulled the gun away from her and then with an iron grip, he grasped her wrist and pulled her along.

Running after the man, not that Cagalli have much choice when he still held her wrist with an iron grip. 'That frightened me for a second, I thought that he would kill me when holding his gun to my head. His voice, so cold and it frightened me to my bones, yet once he spoke out my name, it felt less ...colder. But how did he know who I am?' She rounds a few corners, trying to keep up with him until a light in the distance grew in size until they were enveloped and ran into open space.

Cagalli steps through the light and found herself at one of the exits of the Morgenroete facility. In the distance tall buildings blocking her view of the battle between ORB Unions, Alliance and ZAFT armies. Sounds of explosions and smoke in the distance made her guess that the battle did not fall into their favors. "Why? Why did father made them come and break the peace treaty?" Suddenly a red laser beam with black streaks surged through the air, cutting through a ZAFT Mobile suit, a GINN. The GINN cracked and sparks of electricity jumped of mobile suit before it erupted, exploding nearby a support beam. "You fool!" Cagalli shouts when her eyes searched for the source and they looked between two buildings and fell upon the Mobile suit who had fired. "No! Did the Alliance pilot just used the GAT-weaponry in the middle of a space colony?" The girl's body moved, taking a step back when she noticed that the pilot had not switched off the energy towards the large hyper impulse cannon which now trailed along the other side of the space colony towards the second main support pillar. "No! No… Stop! You're destroying the Plant! Stooop!" Cagalli screams out, tears streaming down her face while she watches the pillar closing in.

Odin kicked the engine to life of his motorbike. Looking up, he too noticed the weapon tearing through the other side of the space colony. Accelerating the vehicle Odin ride towards the girl and stopped in front of her. "Snap out of it Athha, we need to leave this place right now!"

The girl jumped up out of shock when the voice of her cold comrade snapped her out of her petrified state. She turns around, only for her eyes finally resting on the young man that she had met before the invasion started. "Odin..."

"Get on Athha, time is ticking now!" She turned her eyes towards the main support pillars and could see that they slowly break apart. Seeing the danger they are in now, Cagalli did not hesitate to climb up behind him on the motorcycle. "Hang on tight," He shouts out over the sounds of the engine and then sped off towards the road.

Cagalli who sits behind Odin on the bike could not help to wonder how the kind young man who spoke first to her could be so cold. Her arms which were wrapped around the waist of the driver tightened while she watches the abandoned cars flash past her. If she tilted her head slightly more towards the left, Cagalli could see the fight still going on, now only a new ZAFT GINN had joined the fight which is chased by a red fighter plane. "Miss Athha, I will bring us to my hideout here at the Plants. Once we arrive at our destination I want you immediately in one of the space suits, do you understand?"

"I will, Odin," replied the girl who tightened her grip on the driver when they round a corner of the street. "And thank you for not leaving me behind."

Odin chuckled lightly. "I don't know, Athha, if you had a gun in your hand I would not have hesitated to shoot you down. It was more in your favor you had no weapon or swear like those ZAFT soldiers when they invaded the facility." And the grip around his waist tightened and Odin could feel her burying her face in his shoulder out of relieving, which made him sigh slightly in guilt. "Hang on tight now, we are almost there..." Odin warned the girl when they reached section-B building of Morgenroete which is located at the other end of the space colony. Swiftly, Odin drew out his handgun out of his holster and pulled the trigger. A bullet tore through the glass framed door that shattered under the impacts and Odin guided the vehicle through the opening.

Racing through the now abandoned building, Odin forced his vehicle stop at the staircase before pulling a wheelie and forced the door open. For a second, Cagalli and Odin balanced at the top of the staircase and the driver pulled out several hand grenades that he activated and thrown towards the bottom. "What did you do that for?" A confused Cagalli shouts in his ears which ends up in a scream when Odin accelerated the motorcycle and raced down the staircase with surprising control. The girl glanced over the driver's shoulder and could see that they moved quickly towards the bottom, and straight towards a wall. "Watch out for that wall..." An explosion erupted in front of them that blown the wall up and Odin forced the motorbike to a stop.

"Stop freaking out Athha," Odin called out to her while moving quickly towards a spartan desk with nothing personal belongings, with the exception of a laptop. "Get the space suit that hangs on the chair and gets ready to leave the Plant." He shouts over his shoulder while securing his laptop and then moved quickly towards the second suit which Odin had used in his original universe.

Cagalli jumped off the bike and did what Odin ordered her to. She quickly found the chair with the space suit, which was not difficult to find with the spartan looking hangar. While pulling the suit over her normal clothes the girl looks around in curiosity. Yet found out that there wasn't much in the hangar with the exception of a desk which held a single laptop that Odin was now securing in a fighters plane. "Your fighter plane designs look very different from any I have seen before." She told her companion.

"Zero is unique and it was built by a friend of mine," Odin told her while sitting now in the cockpit, his fingers flying over the key panels. His eyes flew over the new stolen information about the last GAT-Model that are now safely saved in Zero's system. "But this is just an extra protection layer for Zero for the debris in outer space," said Odin before turning serious. "But enough talks, Athha. I don't know if you have the suit on already, but time now really runs out."

Running towards the fighter plane, Cagalli quickly reached the cockpit, only to stand at the opening and gazing at the space it provided. "I thought that fighter planes had two seats..."

"This one has not," snapped Odin now a bit irritated at the silly question. "Now get in, you can sit on my lap or I leave you behind." Which made the rebellious girl huff, yet smiled secretly at the young man. Cagalli lowered herself in the cockpit and perched herself carefully on his lap. "Miss Athha, outside of this base the situation could be different. We do not know if outside a battalion of enemies awaits us, so I ask, don't move while I control Zero." Odin spoke calmly again and a smile graced his face when the girl nodded and grasped the front of his suit with her hand. "Wing Zero... Initiate Operation Meteor ..." The command code activated the program. Sliding open under the fighter plane, a hole appeared once the floor retracted. The hanger grapples which held the Mobile suit Wing Zero in the air disconnected and the disguised Gundam released.
