Prologue

The Gundam boy's lives were going well after the Mariemaia incident; it has been eight years since then and every one had their own respectable lives. Quatre had his empire to run, Trowa had his circus, Duo had his scrapping business, and Wufei was working with the preventors with Sally Po. As for Heero well when wasn't he an enigma? When the preventors needed their experience they were glad to be of some help. But their memories of the war seemed like they where from a different person and that they weren't apart of it. But sometimes in their dreams, the memory was so vivid that it was like they had travelled back in time to when hell walked the earth. When they awoke they could not tell which one was the memory and which was their new life.

Lady Une was still the head of the preventors; she had also adopted Mariemaia. As Mariemaia grew older every one was pleased to see that she hadn't inherited those horrible eyebrows that seemed to run in that particular bloodline. Relena was still an ambassador, Hildi was working with Duo and Cathy was still in the circus. Every ones life seemed so permanent, so secure. A royal family who had been neutral in the war was starting to come into the spotlight.

Prince Caleb Balia, son of King Roderick and Queen Samara Balia of Norska, was 24 years of age, intelligent, handsome and a well loved by most teenage girls and young ladies of the courts. This royal family was in the spot light due to the traditions of the Norska Empire, the Prince was looking for a princess, well he wasn't but his parents were.

In her office lady Une's sat when she got a call from the current president.

"Good morning President Meehan, what can I do for you this morning?" said Lady Une

"Good morning Lady Une I wish to talk to you in private it's of an important matter that is quite urgent, I was hoping that this after noon would be a good time to talk about this. If you're not busy of course."

"For you Ma'am I would clear my whole week if you needed it." Replied Une in a sweet voice

"That is quite a nice gesture Lady Une I shall see you at one pm in your office, goodbye Lady"

"Goodbye Madam President."

Lady Une placed the phone back on it receiver and told her sectary to clear her afternoon, she thought for a moment of what could be so important.

'I guess I shall find out at one pm' thought Une

One pm came and Une welcomed the president into her office she was accompanied by her bodyguards.

"I'm sure you have been wondering what was so urgent, it has come to my attention that there has been a threat that has been planted on Earth, and it has been here for a long time." The President informed Une

"What type of threat have you been informed about madam?"

"We are lead to believe that it is a biological weapon that if unleashed, the entire Earths population we be wiped out in a matter of months, even days."

"Ma'am I have to ask is your source a reliable one, and what type of biological weapon is it?"

"Here is all the information that we have accumulated from our source.' She said as she handed over a file with top secret stamped on the cover in bright red ink 'I trust you can handle this with out making it public Une."

"You have my word ma'am; this operation will be accomplished with out any one in the public knowing about it."

"That's good to hear, the last thing we need is for something like this to be leaked to the public, and all that work we have all done to keep this peace will disappear in an instant."

"You have my word ma'am, is there anything else that needs to be addressed or can I get the appropriate people onto this straight way?"

"There is one other thing, I want a specific person to lead the team, that they hand pick."

"And whom might that be ma'am?"

"Caleb Balia, he's quite intelligent and hard working, I have his record he as well. I want to make something quite clear Une, Caleb Balia will lead this investigation, with a team that he hand picks, but he will report to you and in return anything substantial you will inform me." The President handed over Caleb Balia's record.

"Of course madam, I trust your decision, I'll get in contact with him straight away."

"No need, he's waiting out side for you. With that all said I'll take my leave Lady Une."

"Of course please don't let me keep you waiting. I'll walk you out."

With that all said and done they stand up and Lady Une opened the door for the President and her entourage. After they leave Une took a look around the reception to see sitting quietly reading the newspaper was Caleb Balia, Une looked at him. She had never seen him in person, but she could see that the rumours' that she had heard were true.

She walked over to him; he seemed to hear her footsteps coming towards him. He lifted his head up and Une's knees seemed to go weak for a moment, she regained her composure as he stood up to greet her.

Caleb Balia was 6' he was well built for his height with broad shoulders; he had dark brown hair that was cut short but with enough length to style, he had royal blue eyes that shone in the office lights. A well shaven line of facial hair that connected to a goatee defined his jaw line. His skin had a pale tan that made his eyes stand out even more. Over all a very hansom man who was very easy on the eyes.

He extended his hand to Une when she was in range, she politely took it. He had a strong grip but not to strong to suggest that he was trying to over power her.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you Lady Une. I hope this isn't an inconvenience for you."

"Not at all, if The President referred you than I have no issues about it at all, shall we go into my office so we can discuss this matter further?"

She motioned to the two great big oak doors that lead to her office. Une lead the way and when they got close enough Caleb opened the door.

"After you Ma'am."

Une tipped her head as a thank you and walked through.

"Hmm, he's a gentleman as well. I thought they were an excited breed how refreshing." She thought

When they were both through the door Caleb closed it quietly behind him. Une went to her seat behind her desk, while Caleb went to one of the seats in front of it and waited quietly as Une went through the two folders she was given. When she was finished she placed her hands over each other in front of her.

"So tell me Mr Balia what do you know of this situation?"

"Please call me Caleb, I knew some of the details of the situation before hand and then The President filled in the rest while we were talking on our way here."

"So you know that The President has given me orders to let you hand pick a team, that you will also be in charge of and relate any situations back to myself."

"Yes Ma'am"

"And you can call me lady Une, Caleb"

"Thank you Lady Une."

"When do you think you will be able to choose the members of your team?"

"Straight away Lady, I want a five maned team as this will give a better percentage of succuss when we start searching for Zero."

"Any preference for the five members?"

"As a matter of fact yes, I've been informed that one is working for you full time, his name is Chang Wufei, if I'm not mistaken."

"I think I know where you are going with this Caleb, and let me inform you that the war is over and not all of them are in the service of the preventors."

"The only reason I'm bringing them up is that they will know how Zero would think in a situation. I wouldn't request them if I think it wasn't going to work."

"What makes you think that they would agree to this, I can give you Wufei when he has finished his current assignment but I can not guarantee the others."

"All the same Lady, I would like to have those five as a team, they've shown in the past that they can work together to achieve the same goals and their insights would be a great help to the assignment."

"I shall see what I can do, tell me what would be your first action when, if the team you want is assembled?"

"At the moment that is unsubstantial as the team I need some time to come up with a plan of action, I was only told of this assignment early this morning."

"I see, well for the amount of time you have known of the situation I believe you have made the best choices for the assignment. So I won't keep you any longer Caleb."

"Thank you lady Une, I'll report back to you as soon as I have a solid plan of action."

Caleb stood and did a polite bow.

As he left Lady Une's office he shut the door behind him, his body shivered slightly.

"That woman still freaks me out no matter what people say, I think the other side is still there waiting to come out." He thought to himself as he signed out at the front desk.

Lady Une was still sitting behind her desk her hands entwined to each other as her chin rested on them.

"I don't like where he was going, something doesn't feel right about this," she thought

She picked up her phone and dialled an extension number and placed it to her ear. It rang and rang till finally some one picks up.

"Chang Wufei speaking."

"Wufei, its Une I need to speak with you immediately."

"I'll be there in a few minuets lady Une."

A few minuets later Une hear a knock on her door, she called the person in. In front of her stood Chang Wufei in his preventor's uniform. Une had to make note of how pristine he looked, his tie was tight and his shirt looked like it had just been pressed, his shoes where shined and there wasn't even a hair out of place.

If she didn't know better she would have guessed that he had just come in but his swipe card said otherwise, he hadn't left the building in two weeks.

"I need you opinion on some thing I just received." She handed him the top-secret folder.
