The Children of the Future

PROLOGUE
The year is After Colony 225. There is a peace over the Earth-Sphere. It is exactly 50 years after the assasination that was the cause of the infamous Eve War. The major players in that war have either already died or faded into obscurity. Treize Khushrenada, the Lords of Plague, and Quinze all met their fate during the final battle.

As for the Gundam Pilots themselves, that's another story. Milliardo Peacecraft, better known as Zechs Marquise, who was once thought dead, returned and joined the peace keepers known as the Preventers. He married his long time love interest, Lucrezia Noin. After his tenure in the now all but defunct Protectors, Zechs and Noin settled down and rose a family of their own.

Wu Fei Chang surprisingly fought against his friends in the battle against the evil Marieamaia Khushrenada, the daughter of Treize and puppet of the evil Dechem Barton. Heero taught Wu Fei the ere of his ways, however, and he led the people in a revolt against the Barton Foundation.
He also joined the Protectors for a time and married the only woman alive who had ever understood him, Sally Po. Together they sired a child as well and settled down.

Quatre Raberba Winner returned to his duties as head of the Winner household. He also decided to choose a wife and continue the Winner name. Dorothy Katalonia was chosen as his mate. They rose a family, although their life was more public than most of the other pilots.

Trowa Barton stayed with the travelling circus. His greatest friend, Catherine, became his greatest love and bore him a daughter. They raised her to be as athletic and intelligent as her father. Still, this girl would always be part of the circus.

Duo Maxwell predictably rejoined the space faring salvage service known as the Sweeper Corp. Along with Hildy and Howard, they travelled the galaxy doing their jobs as they came. As was also expected, Duo had a child as well. This child had the greatest traits of Duo and Hildy combined.

Finally, there was Heero Yuy. He became the most mysterious of the pilots. Still, Relena eventually met up with him on Colony X-18999. Heero was at this point a man with no purpose. He became convinced that he could become normal. He could regain the humanity that was stolen from him by Dechem Barton and Dr. J.

He stayed with Relena and became her advisor. Still, it wasn't expected that he would ever marry her. And he did not. But, he did have a child with her. A son.

And so the world went on as it was supposed to. Mobile Suits were no longer needed. Of course, although they destroyed their Gundams, the pilots were careful not to be too trustworthy of the peace. They kept the raw materials and plans to their Gundams, should another threat ever arise and threaten humantiy again. And their distrust was well founded. There would be another battle. Another war. The Gundams are needed once more.

Finally! After about a half a year of forcing passers by to look upon the horrible uploading job I did with this fic, I've decided to edit it! Now if only I wasn't too lazy to speel check...

Oh, and for Gundam Wing fans, go read "The Idiot's Guide to Gundam Wing", done by moi. Thanks! And...
