New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: Vengeance From The Past
After Colony 195, X'Mas Eve: On this day, the final battle was fought between the World Nation and White Fang. Five Mobile Suits sent from the colonies would eventually bring about the end of the final war between the Earth and the Colonies. This would mark the birth of a new Alliance, The Earth Sphere Unified Nations.
After Colony 196: X'Mas Eve: A year after the formation of the Earth Sphere Unified Nations, a colony from the L3 area, X18999, would declare their independence from Earth and attack Earth with Serpents, suits made out of Neo-Titanium Alloy. The Gundam Pilots would be called upon one more time to help maintain the peace. And in the end, peace would be maintained, and mobile suits including the Gundams were never seen again from that point on.
The date is January 1st, AC 201. Peace has been maintained thus far, but it has not been easy. As long as there are humans, the desire to fight will always be there.
Episode 1: The 6th Annual Meeting.
In colony X18954 in the L3 area, the sixth annual meeting of the Earth Sphere Unified Nations (E.S.U.N) is about set to take place. Delegates from nations all over the world and most of the colonies gathers on the first day of the brand new year for this one week conference to discuss what has transpired the past year, and what the coming year will have in store for them. But all isn't well as there have been three incidents in the Mars Terra-formation project. This agenda is most likely to be the center of debate at this conference.
*A television news show comes back from a commercial break.
Reporter: Welcome back. As the sixth annual E.S.U.N. is about to commence, what is on everyone's mind today is the future of the Mars terra-formation project. Due to the tragic Christmas Eve explosion around the Martian orbit while a colony was being constructed, some people wonder if they'll just end up suspending the project for the third time in six years, or end up ending what has been a huge financial burden all at once. During the commercial break, we got information on what caused the explosion from a reliable source in within the Christmas Eve investigation case. It turns out that unlike the other two incidents a foreign object was found within the debris, which is believed to be a part of a detonator. This information was found out three days ago, but we're just getting word of it today. This would suggest that the attack that claimed 300 workers was a terrorist attack, and that officials that back the Terra-Formation project were trying to keep this under wraps until after the meeting, so that there wouldn't be as much trouble as there probably will be now to keep the project alive. To discuss the current situation here with us, we have Representative Karen Slate from the very colony the conference is going to take place at today, and Robert Cardone, a representative from the United States back on Earth. Welcome you two. One question that would have to be asked is why was the E.S.U.N. government trying to hide the truth?
Karen: Well it's pretty obvious. So far, MO-VI exploded there, a transport ship had just disappeared, probably fell into the Martian atmosphere, and now this incident happens which has been proven to be a terrorist attack. It's been hard enough to keep this fragile project going and anything as severe as the news we got about it being a terrorist attack could mean the end of the terra-formation project.
Reporter: Could it be possible that another movement is forming within the colonies and that they are responsible for this terrorist action, or could it be a group on earth that is against colonizing Mars?
Robert: I think we have to more than assume that this attack originated from one of the colonies.
Karen: Wait a minute. I think that is unfair to say. There is no proof that the colonies were behind this attack.
Robert: Maybe not. But they do have a motive. When they fought for their independence in AC 195, they fought to be free and independent from the earth.
Karen: Yes, but after the final battle the colonies and earth both agreed to work as one government!
Robert: Not every colony, only a majority. It is a known fact that there were a handful of colonies that went along with this only because most of the colonies were already leaning towards this idea, so they all ended up going along with their signing. But while most of them are happy with the agreement made, some colonies are frustrated over the outcome of the war of 195. There are those that are saying "HEY! We fought to become our own nation, free from the restraints of the Earth." This is not what a handful of colonies wanted. Some of the colonies wanted to be free from the Earth Sphere and have their own independent government, which they feel they were robbed of after the final battle. Some of those colonies that want to be free from the restraints of earth are within the L3 area, hence the revolt in 196.
Karen: The revolt in A.C. 196 was from one colony, not many! It is true that there are colonies that wish they could've had their own government rather than a joint government that Earth. But that is not reason to point the finger of this terrorist attack at the colonies. Colony citizens are very peace minded.
Robert: Peace minded? Are you telling they haven't shown an aggressive side? You're telling me the Gundams sent from the colonies in A.C. 195 was not an act of aggression? Or that the attack by the White Fang, who fought on behalf of the colonies.
Karen: Neither the Gundams nor the White Fang was ever agreed on by a majority of the citizens. Most people did not like the Gundams or the White Fang. And back at A.C. 195, it was a very different time.
Robert: And yet six years later they are acting the same nonetheless.
Karen: That is just assumption on your part again! Earth has shown to be a lot more aggressive in the past so it could've originated from earth as well. There is no way of telling.
Reporter: If I could interrupt for just a second. Let's assume that we do find out who is responsible for this terrorist attack, whether it originates from one of the colonies or earth, what should be the course of action taken then?
Robert: You have to approach the terrorists in a strong position simply because, they think we're weak right now.
Karen: I agree with him on that. You have to show the people of the E.S.U.N. that terrorism will not be tolerated, whether it's one person or a group. Even if that means showing a little bit of a military presence when going after the terrorists.
Robert: And also if that means signing an emergency charter authorizing the development a small amount of mobile suits to be used in a anti-terrorist task force.
Karen: Wait a minute! Mobile suits should never be an option in the first place. Once you use this as a reason to develop mobile suits, you'll end up finding other reasons to develop more mobile suits. Eventually then, we'll be back in the situation we were in six years ago.
Robert: For all we know, the terrorists could have mobile suits!
Karen: That's highly unlikely since all parts of mobile suits were destroyed according to the agreement.
Robert: That's what we thought once already, but a year later Neo-Titanium suits ended up attacking the earth. The threat of mobile suits always exists whether you want to admit it or not and to make sure we don't get caught off guard, we have to develop suits of our own.
Reporter: But even if the terrorists are caught, do you believe that this project should be continued.
Karen: Absolutely. As we approach the future we have to expand beyond the Earth Sphere. I believe the Terra-Formation project is vital to the E.S.U.N. in exploring new horizons, learning more about the universe, and choosing more areas for new colonies to be developed at.
Robert: I believe that the Terra-Formation project should be continued, only if the safety of the workers and civilians can be guaranteed.
Reporter: I'm sorry but that's all the time we have for now. I would like to thank representative Karen Slate and Robert Cardone for joining us today, and for giving us your opinions. We will have live coverage all day on what is probably the most important out of all the other meetings so far.
*Inside a limo heading towards the conference, the T.V., which was showing the news report is turned off, and the people inside appears to be very agitated.
Politician 1: Damn it! We were suppose to keep the terrorist attack a secret until after the conference.
Politician 2: Whoever leaked the information to the media, I want his head on a platter!
Politician 1: Yea, no kidding. You do realize that this will make it more difficult to convince the Representatives to keep the Terra-Formation project going, Vice Foreign Minister Darlian.
*Relena Darlian, who is inside the limo, looks at the two politicians calmly.
Relena: I was against hiding the facts from them in the first place. The public would've eventually found out and the project would've just been put into jeopardy after the conference. What the Representatives decide on today is not written in stone. They can always change their minds.
Politician 1: But the last thing we need is this type of media exposure.
Relena: .will the President be arriving today?
Politician 1: No. He's scheduled to arrive on the third day of the meeting. *phone begins to ring* Hello.I'll put her on. Ms. Relena, you husband Hamilton is on the line. He's at the meeting right now.
Relena: I'll take it. Hello.how's the tensions over there?
Hamilton: It could be better. I've never seen such high tensions between everyone since the E.S.U.N. was first formed, but most are siding to possibly suspend the project indefinitely.
Relena: And what about you?
Hamilton: Darling, you know I won't go against it. I've been for it even before we met.
Relena: Yes, I know.
Hamilton: Oh, and I just called the house. Our son is doing just fine.
Relena: That's great to hear.
Hamilton: Well, you'll know where I'll be sitting today. Good luck Releena. I know it'll be tough, but I'm sure you'll win them over.
Relena: Thanks. I'll need all the luck I can get. I have to let you go now. The limo is pulling in front of the colony senate right now.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
*Meanwhile, on another colony, Duo is sitting down watching the coverage on T.V. as he sees Relena walk out of the limo.
Duo: Man Hilde, I just don't like how this is looking right now. It almost seems hopeless that she'll be able to win the majority over.
*Hilde comes out of the kitchen with a couple of drinks in her hands.
Hilde: You worry too much. I've met her once. She seems like a very strong person. I wouldn't worry about her one bit.
Duo: Hope you're right. Thanks for the drinks.
Hilde: You think we can put something else on T.V.?
Duo: Only if you promise to make me a steak.
Hilde: What? You just ate an hour ago DUO!
Duo: Aw, come on. Don't you think I deserve it after all I've done for the people, like fight Oz, fight White Fang, helped bring peace to outer space.
Hilde: Ugh! Please don't start with that routine again. It gets old after a while.
Duo: I'll stop if you go make me one.
Hilde: Oh, all right, FINE! You'll get you're steak. I swear, there is just no end to that appetite of yours.
Duo: Make sure it's rare this time.
Hilde: Yea yea.
*Hilde walks into the kitchen as Duo is watching the T.V. drinking a beer. Just then, he suddenly drops his beer over a person wearing a red jacket that he spots on the television set. As Hilde runs into the room to see what's going on, Duo has rushed over to his computer and begins to make a phone call on it.
Hilde: What's going on Duo?
Duo: Spotted someone that doesn't belong there. Looks like the God of Death is going to be in action one more time.
Hilde You can't be serious!
*Quatre's face appears on the screen.
Duo: Hang on a sec Hilde. Yo Quatre, you watching the T.V.?
Quatre: Yea. I was just about to call you too. I spotted someone in the crowd that shouldn't be there.
Duo: You too?
Quatre: Me too? You know who I'm talking about?
Duo: You mean the person in the red jacket?
Quatre: Yea.
Duo: How exactly do you know him?
Quatre: Me and Heero met him when we were captured by Oz. He seemed to have been very interested in the Zero System.
Duo: Is that so. Well it just so happens I ended up fighting him when he was piloting Wing Zero once.
Quatre: What? He piloted Wing Zero? Why didn't you ever say anything about this?
Duo: Didn't think I had to. I didn't even know that he had survived.
Quatre: Either way, with him there something big is probably about to go down. Duo, get a hold of Preventers and contact Wu-Fei and Sally Po. Tell them of what we know. I'll see if I can find out where Trowa's circus is at right now and send him a message.
Duo: And what about Heero?
Quatre: Heero? I haven't heard from him for five years now. Do you know where he is?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
*Meanwhile, in another colony, in a trailer Trowa is inside watching the coverage of the 6th Annual meeting with Catherine.
Trowa: Releena is going to have her hands full. Maybe I should go over there to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Catherine: Oh no you don't. You promised me that you would not be running of anywhere anymore. Besides, you can't. You have three shows a day to put on.
Trowa: Yea, I guess I'm probably being a bit too worried.
*His computer suddenly beeps.
Trowa: A message?
*He walks over to his computer and turns it on. Quatre's face suddenly pops up on the screen.
Torwa: Quatre?
Quatre: Hey Trowa. You busy?
Catherine: Oh no. Not again.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
*Meanwhile, on another colony, a group of Preventer agents are hiding out right outside a warehouse. Wu-Fei looks through his binoculars scouting out the place. He gets on the radio contacting Sally Po.
Wu-Fei: There are three guards on the roof.
Sally: Our sharpshooters can take them out.
Wu-Fei: All right. The moment those three guards are taken out, we're moving in.
Sally: Right.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
*Inside the warehouse, everyone has guns pointed at each other as a result of a drug lord and a major customer of his getting into a dispute.
Customer: What the hell is this? This shit is no good!
Drug lord: What are you talking about? I sell grade a shit over here.
Customer: Hey, I'm not doubting the quality.but this isn't the shit that I wanted!
Drug lord: What are you talking about? I didn't make no mistakes. This is the stuff.
Customer: That's bull. What type of a fool do you take me as. I should blow your head off right now.
Drug lord: Oh, you wanna start a blood bath right here. Be my guess.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
*Back outside, Sally is looks into the building with her binoculars while talking to Wu-Fei on the radio.
Sally: OH GREAT! Wu-Fei, there's twice as more here than we expected and they all have guns.
Wu-Fei: Twice as more?
Sally: We're outgunned!
Wu-Fei: We'll have to make them believe we have more firepower then them. Do we have any bazooka rounds?
Sally: Only a few.
Wu-Fei: Fire a couple into the building once the three guards are taken out. And have the choppers circle the building while we're busting in.
Sally: I hope this works.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Customer: There ain't no way I'm paying for this garbage.
Drug Lord: I'll tell ya what. Pay for the stuff, or you and your boys leave in a body bag.
Customer: Oh that's it.
*He points a gun at the drug dealer.
Drug Lord: You wanna shoot me? Fine. Let's see if you have the guts to pull the fuckin trigger.
*Two missiles come flying through the windows through two sides and explodes in the warehouses. It injures several gunmen as the Preventers makes sure they don't accidentally kill anyone. Everyone is thrown in a state of confusion as the Preventer agents come busting into the warehouse.
Sally: Freeze! You're all under arrest.
*They all begin to drop their guns.
Drug Lord: What're you doing? Don't just drop your weapons like that!
Sally: I said drop them!
*Sally screaming at him startles the Drug Lord and he drops their weapon.
Wu-Fei: All right. Open up those containers.
*The agents opens up the containers and finds Heroine in them.
Agent 1: It's drugs sir.
Wu-Fei: Drugs?
Sally: Wait a minute. I recognize that man. He's a major Drug Lord around here.
Wu-Fei: Great. The only problem with this bust is that there was suppose to be a terrorist group here!
*He kicks a can on the floors and storms out of the warehouse as Sally follows behind him.
Wu-Fei: Damn it. This is just to lead us of the trail.
Sally: Take it easy Wu-Fei. At least we did a little bit of good, even if it was unintentional.
Wu-Fei: Let's get on the COM system in the truck and see if we can get in touch of Noin's ship. Maybe she had better luck than us.
Sally: Right.
*Sally and Wu-Fei both walks over to the truck as they contact headquarters.
Sally: Get Noin's ship online and transfer it here.
Operator: Yes Ma'am.
Sally: Noin? Noin, how is everything there? Did you find anything?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Noin: Um, Sally.now isn't a good time to talk.
*In deep space, Noin's spaceship is chased by 6 fighters. She's has a hard time getting away from them as they fire at the ship.
Noin: Damn it! Hit again. There just isn't enough maneuverability with this ship compared to those fighters. I can't shake them.
*Zechs's voice comes on the radio.
Zechs: Noin, I'm set. Open the hatch.
Noin: They're pretty fast Zechs.
Zechs: They won't be a problem.
Noin: Right. It's best if you use the bazooka instead.
Zechs: I copy.
*The fighters begin to close in on the ship as they notice the bay doors open.
Pilot 1: Wait a minute. Something is opening up.
Pilot 2: It's a mobile suit!
Pilot 1: Checking the make of the suit. No way. It's the Tallgeese!
*The Tallgeese takes off and takes out its beam saber. It heads towards one of the fighters and swipes it with its beam saber before it could make any sudden moves.
Pilot 1: Damn it. This won't be easy. Evasive maneuvers. Hit him with missiles instead.
All the other pilots: Roger.
*The five remaining fighters begin to fire missiles hitting the Tallgeese. He has a hard time avoiding them due to their speed.
Zechs: Damn. They are fast. But you can't beat this mobile suit with those things!
*He takes out his heat rod and swings it at two fighters destroying them instantly.
Pilot 3: We can't get near that monster.
Pilot 1:Fighters just won't cut it. We're returning to base. Maximum thrust.
The other pilots: Yes sir.
*The three fighters begins to speed away passing by the ship. Noin fires the lasers and hits one of the fighters but misses the remaining two.
Noin: They're getting away. We won't be able to follow them at their speed.
Zechs: I'll take care of them.
*He takes out his bazooka and locks on to one of the fighters. He fires and in and moments later the missile hits destroying the fighter.
Pilot 1: Christ! A bazooka!
Zechs: Firing.
*He fires a second round towards the remaining fighter.
Pilot 1: Missile lock. I can't evade!
*Moments later, the missile hits the fighter and destroys the last one.
Zechs: That's the last of them Noin.
Noin: Did good as usual, Zechs.
Sally: Um, Noin?
Noin: You're still online? I didn't even realize. We had to take care of something. Sorry about that.
Sally: It's all right. By the way, did you two set a date yet?
Noin: No. We've been engaged for four months now, but due to this recent incident we had to cancel wedding plans for late January.
Sally: That's a shame. So, did you guys find anything?
Noin: We found little evidence that there was a base there, but very little. Someone was already there waiting for us before we could collect anymore. We don't know where their base is. Any luck over there?
Sally: None. Turns out we accidentally performed a drug bust instead.
Noin: Hmm, they covered their tracks well.
Sally: Yea, you're telling me. I'm worried there might be a repeat of After Colony 196.
Noin: Me too.
Sally: Oh, hang on. I'm getting another transmission. Sally Po here.
Duo: Man, I had a hell of a time trying to get through to you guys.
Sally: Duo Maxwell?
Wu-Fei: Did you say Duo?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Back at the annual meeting, Releena is pleading to the representatives why the Terra-Formation project should remain active.
Relena: I understand that it has been very difficult the past six years. But, it's not like anyone said that this would be any easy. The Christmas Eve bombing is a tragic event. But, if we give in now, we would've done exactly what the terrorists want us to do.
*Meanwhile, on another colony in a small house, a Television is on in the bedroom with the meeting on the screen, and Heero Yuy working on the computer. On his computer screen is a picture of the man Quatre and Duo both recognized.
Herro: Name, Trant Clark, former Oz technician, reportedly gone AWOL in After Colony Year 195. Report says he stole Wing Zero destroyed several Oz mobile suits when they went to retrieve him. But when Wing Zero was found a second time, he had obviously abandoned the mobile suit. His current status is unknown, at least until now that is.
Woman's voice: Heero.
*A woman walks into the room. Her name is Sandra Yuy, who is now Heero's wife. They've been married for a year now. Even Heero has managed to find true love in his past five-year absence.
Sandra: There you are working on the computer again. I swear, you just don't know when to take a break. Here, I bought you some coffee. You can use it.
*She turns and looks at the T.V. noticing Relena on it.
Sandra: Hey, didn't you say you knew that woman.
Heero: At one point I did.
Sandra: Guess you both lost contact. Well, she is a busy person now, I guess.
*He takes the coffee from her hand and drinks it.
Heero: Thanks for the coffee.
Sandra: Hey, you needed it.
*Heero gets up and goes to the closet.
Sandra: Huh? What're you doing?
Heero: I'm going to have to go somewhere for a bit.
*She sees him take out his pistol. She has a worried look on her face.
Sandra: Oh no. Not another secret mission Heero.
*She runs over to him to try and convince him not to go anywhere.
Sandra: Heero. I don't care what you use to be. You don't have to do this anymore.
Heero: The bombing at Mars was only the beginning. They'll hit that colony next.
Sandra: Just contact the authorities then.
Heero: You know they won't listen. I have to go and help out somehow.
Sandra: You know.we have a four month-old son. I don't want him growing up without a father.
*He grabs her into his arms.
Heero: He'll grow up to be a strong man. And he won't grow up without a father. I promise.
Sandra: But why do you have to go? (tears begin to roll down her cheeks) We're in a time of peace now.
Heero: I know. But there are those that still find a reason to keep on fighting. As long as they're around, I have to keep on fighting too. I'm sorry.
Sandra: So this is what I'm in for being married to you. You're constant having to save the world mission, or protect the peace. Heero, I don't want you to die.
*She begins to cry on his soldier as Heero embraces her.
Heero: I won't die Sandra. I'll come back to you.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ *Back at the annual meeting...
Relena: So I implore you, the Terra-Formation project is vital to E.S.U.N. space exploration. I ask that you vote to keep the project going.
*A representative suddenly speaks out.
Representative: But Ms. Relena. The problem is not only safety issues, but the financial burden this project has been on the E.S.U.N. If another incident occurs, there will be probably no way to continue the project.
Relena: I understand your concerns. But we just have to show those who don't understand our intentions how much help this will be for the people in the long run. We're running out of space to build colonies around the earth. Plus, this will be a great opportunity to explore new horizons, and get a better understanding of our galaxy.
*The representatives begin to discuss the topic amongst each other, some agreeing with her point of view, and some disagreeing. Another representative speaks out.
Representative: This is not an issue to be taken lightly. I suggest we wait until the President arrives two days from now to bring up the topic.
*All the representative agree with him.
Relena: Of course. Shall we all recess for the day then? We'll discuss other issues tomorrow.
Senate President: Yes, I do believe that is the best thing to do. This topic has worn us all out. Meeting dismissed. We continue tomorrow at 9 a.m.
*Relena walks out of the building as she tries to make her way towards the limo. She is crowded by reporters everywhere asking questions about the conference. An exhausted Relena Darlian makes it through with her husband waiting for her inside.
Hamilton: You were magnificent Relena. You probably won over about half of the representatives today.
Relena: Yes, but they always have doubts one after another. I'm just glad it's all over for today.
Hamilton: Driver, to the hotel please.
*Relena and Hamilton return to the hotel, but little do they realize that they are being watched by a certain group of people. A man gets on a pay phone.
Spy: Relena has entred the hotel.
Trant: Good. We'll make our move once she enters her room.
Spy: The husband appears to be talking to someone in the lobby.
Trant: We'll nab him too. Although Relena is not to be harmed, I don't want Hamilton hurt either.
Spy: I'll pass the word along, sir.
Trant: My goal is almost accomplished. Just a little while longer now.
*Trant heads over to the hotel. He enters the hotel and begins to take the elevator up with several other people already inside it. Meanwhile, Relena has already entered her room as she waits for her husband. She turns off the T.V. after watching the news for a while.
Relena: It gets too hard all the time.You either gotta please the entire world otherwise you end up being a failure. Nothing ever comes easy.
*Outside the room, several men with machine guns are waiting outside.
Trant: We're set. Set off the explosives.
*Moments later, several explosives throughout the colony begins to go off. The explosions happens in area where there is little or no people around at all. The explosions startles Relena.
Relena: Oh my god. What was that?
*They break into the room grabbing Relena.
Relena: Hey, what's going on here? Who are you people?
*She comes face to face with Trant.
Trant: Mrs. Relena Peacecraft. Former Queen. How it is an honor to meet you.
Relena: Who are you?
Trant: A group of people that supports colony independence. Take Relena upstairs to the Presidential sweet immediately. What's the status of the hotel?
Rebel 1: We've secured the hotel. And have already nabbed the husband. He's on his way up at this exact moment.
Trant: Good. I'm looking forward to meeting him too.
To be continued...
After Colony 195, X'Mas Eve: On this day, the final battle was fought between the World Nation and White Fang. Five Mobile Suits sent from the colonies would eventually bring about the end of the final war between the Earth and the Colonies. This would mark the birth of a new Alliance, The Earth Sphere Unified Nations.
After Colony 196: X'Mas Eve: A year after the formation of the Earth Sphere Unified Nations, a colony from the L3 area, X18999, would declare their independence from Earth and attack Earth with Serpents, suits made out of Neo-Titanium Alloy. The Gundam Pilots would be called upon one more time to help maintain the peace. And in the end, peace would be maintained, and mobile suits including the Gundams were never seen again from that point on.
The date is January 1st, AC 201. Peace has been maintained thus far, but it has not been easy. As long as there are humans, the desire to fight will always be there.
Episode 1: The 6th Annual Meeting.
In colony X18954 in the L3 area, the sixth annual meeting of the Earth Sphere Unified Nations (E.S.U.N) is about set to take place. Delegates from nations all over the world and most of the colonies gathers on the first day of the brand new year for this one week conference to discuss what has transpired the past year, and what the coming year will have in store for them. But all isn't well as there have been three incidents in the Mars Terra-formation project. This agenda is most likely to be the center of debate at this conference.
*A television news show comes back from a commercial break.
Reporter: Welcome back. As the sixth annual E.S.U.N. is about to commence, what is on everyone's mind today is the future of the Mars terra-formation project. Due to the tragic Christmas Eve explosion around the Martian orbit while a colony was being constructed, some people wonder if they'll just end up suspending the project for the third time in six years, or end up ending what has been a huge financial burden all at once. During the commercial break, we got information on what caused the explosion from a reliable source in within the Christmas Eve investigation case. It turns out that unlike the other two incidents a foreign object was found within the debris, which is believed to be a part of a detonator. This information was found out three days ago, but we're just getting word of it today. This would suggest that the attack that claimed 300 workers was a terrorist attack, and that officials that back the Terra-Formation project were trying to keep this under wraps until after the meeting, so that there wouldn't be as much trouble as there probably will be now to keep the project alive. To discuss the current situation here with us, we have Representative Karen Slate from the very colony the conference is going to take place at today, and Robert Cardone, a representative from the United States back on Earth. Welcome you two. One question that would have to be asked is why was the E.S.U.N. government trying to hide the truth?
Karen: Well it's pretty obvious. So far, MO-VI exploded there, a transport ship had just disappeared, probably fell into the Martian atmosphere, and now this incident happens which has been proven to be a terrorist attack. It's been hard enough to keep this fragile project going and anything as severe as the news we got about it being a terrorist attack could mean the end of the terra-formation project.
Reporter: Could it be possible that another movement is forming within the colonies and that they are responsible for this terrorist action, or could it be a group on earth that is against colonizing Mars?
Robert: I think we have to more than assume that this attack originated from one of the colonies.
Karen: Wait a minute. I think that is unfair to say. There is no proof that the colonies were behind this attack.
Robert: Maybe not. But they do have a motive. When they fought for their independence in AC 195, they fought to be free and independent from the earth.
Karen: Yes, but after the final battle the colonies and earth both agreed to work as one government!
Robert: Not every colony, only a majority. It is a known fact that there were a handful of colonies that went along with this only because most of the colonies were already leaning towards this idea, so they all ended up going along with their signing. But while most of them are happy with the agreement made, some colonies are frustrated over the outcome of the war of 195. There are those that are saying "HEY! We fought to become our own nation, free from the restraints of the Earth." This is not what a handful of colonies wanted. Some of the colonies wanted to be free from the Earth Sphere and have their own independent government, which they feel they were robbed of after the final battle. Some of those colonies that want to be free from the restraints of earth are within the L3 area, hence the revolt in 196.
Karen: The revolt in A.C. 196 was from one colony, not many! It is true that there are colonies that wish they could've had their own government rather than a joint government that Earth. But that is not reason to point the finger of this terrorist attack at the colonies. Colony citizens are very peace minded.
Robert: Peace minded? Are you telling they haven't shown an aggressive side? You're telling me the Gundams sent from the colonies in A.C. 195 was not an act of aggression? Or that the attack by the White Fang, who fought on behalf of the colonies.
Karen: Neither the Gundams nor the White Fang was ever agreed on by a majority of the citizens. Most people did not like the Gundams or the White Fang. And back at A.C. 195, it was a very different time.
Robert: And yet six years later they are acting the same nonetheless.
Karen: That is just assumption on your part again! Earth has shown to be a lot more aggressive in the past so it could've originated from earth as well. There is no way of telling.
Reporter: If I could interrupt for just a second. Let's assume that we do find out who is responsible for this terrorist attack, whether it originates from one of the colonies or earth, what should be the course of action taken then?
Robert: You have to approach the terrorists in a strong position simply because, they think we're weak right now.
Karen: I agree with him on that. You have to show the people of the E.S.U.N. that terrorism will not be tolerated, whether it's one person or a group. Even if that means showing a little bit of a military presence when going after the terrorists.
Robert: And also if that means signing an emergency charter authorizing the development a small amount of mobile suits to be used in a anti-terrorist task force.
Karen: Wait a minute! Mobile suits should never be an option in the first place. Once you use this as a reason to develop mobile suits, you'll end up finding other reasons to develop more mobile suits. Eventually then, we'll be back in the situation we were in six years ago.
Robert: For all we know, the terrorists could have mobile suits!
Karen: That's highly unlikely since all parts of mobile suits were destroyed according to the agreement.
Robert: That's what we thought once already, but a year later Neo-Titanium suits ended up attacking the earth. The threat of mobile suits always exists whether you want to admit it or not and to make sure we don't get caught off guard, we have to develop suits of our own.
Reporter: But even if the terrorists are caught, do you believe that this project should be continued.
Karen: Absolutely. As we approach the future we have to expand beyond the Earth Sphere. I believe the Terra-Formation project is vital to the E.S.U.N. in exploring new horizons, learning more about the universe, and choosing more areas for new colonies to be developed at.
Robert: I believe that the Terra-Formation project should be continued, only if the safety of the workers and civilians can be guaranteed.
Reporter: I'm sorry but that's all the time we have for now. I would like to thank representative Karen Slate and Robert Cardone for joining us today, and for giving us your opinions. We will have live coverage all day on what is probably the most important out of all the other meetings so far.
*Inside a limo heading towards the conference, the T.V., which was showing the news report is turned off, and the people inside appears to be very agitated.
Politician 1: Damn it! We were suppose to keep the terrorist attack a secret until after the conference.
Politician 2: Whoever leaked the information to the media, I want his head on a platter!
Politician 1: Yea, no kidding. You do realize that this will make it more difficult to convince the Representatives to keep the Terra-Formation project going, Vice Foreign Minister Darlian.
*Relena Darlian, who is inside the limo, looks at the two politicians calmly.
Relena: I was against hiding the facts from them in the first place. The public would've eventually found out and the project would've just been put into jeopardy after the conference. What the Representatives decide on today is not written in stone. They can always change their minds.
Politician 1: But the last thing we need is this type of media exposure.
Relena: .will the President be arriving today?
Politician 1: No. He's scheduled to arrive on the third day of the meeting. *phone begins to ring* Hello.I'll put her on. Ms. Relena, you husband Hamilton is on the line. He's at the meeting right now.
Relena: I'll take it. Hello.how's the tensions over there?
Hamilton: It could be better. I've never seen such high tensions between everyone since the E.S.U.N. was first formed, but most are siding to possibly suspend the project indefinitely.
Relena: And what about you?
Hamilton: Darling, you know I won't go against it. I've been for it even before we met.
Relena: Yes, I know.
Hamilton: Oh, and I just called the house. Our son is doing just fine.
Relena: That's great to hear.
Hamilton: Well, you'll know where I'll be sitting today. Good luck Releena. I know it'll be tough, but I'm sure you'll win them over.
Relena: Thanks. I'll need all the luck I can get. I have to let you go now. The limo is pulling in front of the colony senate right now.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
*Meanwhile, on another colony, Duo is sitting down watching the coverage on T.V. as he sees Relena walk out of the limo.
Duo: Man Hilde, I just don't like how this is looking right now. It almost seems hopeless that she'll be able to win the majority over.
*Hilde comes out of the kitchen with a couple of drinks in her hands.
Hilde: You worry too much. I've met her once. She seems like a very strong person. I wouldn't worry about her one bit.
Duo: Hope you're right. Thanks for the drinks.
Hilde: You think we can put something else on T.V.?
Duo: Only if you promise to make me a steak.
Hilde: What? You just ate an hour ago DUO!
Duo: Aw, come on. Don't you think I deserve it after all I've done for the people, like fight Oz, fight White Fang, helped bring peace to outer space.
Hilde: Ugh! Please don't start with that routine again. It gets old after a while.
Duo: I'll stop if you go make me one.
Hilde: Oh, all right, FINE! You'll get you're steak. I swear, there is just no end to that appetite of yours.
Duo: Make sure it's rare this time.
Hilde: Yea yea.
*Hilde walks into the kitchen as Duo is watching the T.V. drinking a beer. Just then, he suddenly drops his beer over a person wearing a red jacket that he spots on the television set. As Hilde runs into the room to see what's going on, Duo has rushed over to his computer and begins to make a phone call on it.
Hilde: What's going on Duo?
Duo: Spotted someone that doesn't belong there. Looks like the God of Death is going to be in action one more time.
Hilde You can't be serious!
*Quatre's face appears on the screen.
Duo: Hang on a sec Hilde. Yo Quatre, you watching the T.V.?
Quatre: Yea. I was just about to call you too. I spotted someone in the crowd that shouldn't be there.
Duo: You too?
Quatre: Me too? You know who I'm talking about?
Duo: You mean the person in the red jacket?
Quatre: Yea.
Duo: How exactly do you know him?
Quatre: Me and Heero met him when we were captured by Oz. He seemed to have been very interested in the Zero System.
Duo: Is that so. Well it just so happens I ended up fighting him when he was piloting Wing Zero once.
Quatre: What? He piloted Wing Zero? Why didn't you ever say anything about this?
Duo: Didn't think I had to. I didn't even know that he had survived.
Quatre: Either way, with him there something big is probably about to go down. Duo, get a hold of Preventers and contact Wu-Fei and Sally Po. Tell them of what we know. I'll see if I can find out where Trowa's circus is at right now and send him a message.
Duo: And what about Heero?
Quatre: Heero? I haven't heard from him for five years now. Do you know where he is?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
*Meanwhile, in another colony, in a trailer Trowa is inside watching the coverage of the 6th Annual meeting with Catherine.
Trowa: Releena is going to have her hands full. Maybe I should go over there to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Catherine: Oh no you don't. You promised me that you would not be running of anywhere anymore. Besides, you can't. You have three shows a day to put on.
Trowa: Yea, I guess I'm probably being a bit too worried.
*His computer suddenly beeps.
Trowa: A message?
*He walks over to his computer and turns it on. Quatre's face suddenly pops up on the screen.
Torwa: Quatre?
Quatre: Hey Trowa. You busy?
Catherine: Oh no. Not again.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
*Meanwhile, on another colony, a group of Preventer agents are hiding out right outside a warehouse. Wu-Fei looks through his binoculars scouting out the place. He gets on the radio contacting Sally Po.
Wu-Fei: There are three guards on the roof.
Sally: Our sharpshooters can take them out.
Wu-Fei: All right. The moment those three guards are taken out, we're moving in.
Sally: Right.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
*Inside the warehouse, everyone has guns pointed at each other as a result of a drug lord and a major customer of his getting into a dispute.
Customer: What the hell is this? This shit is no good!
Drug lord: What are you talking about? I sell grade a shit over here.
Customer: Hey, I'm not doubting the quality.but this isn't the shit that I wanted!
Drug lord: What are you talking about? I didn't make no mistakes. This is the stuff.
Customer: That's bull. What type of a fool do you take me as. I should blow your head off right now.
Drug lord: Oh, you wanna start a blood bath right here. Be my guess.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
*Back outside, Sally is looks into the building with her binoculars while talking to Wu-Fei on the radio.
Sally: OH GREAT! Wu-Fei, there's twice as more here than we expected and they all have guns.
Wu-Fei: Twice as more?
Sally: We're outgunned!
Wu-Fei: We'll have to make them believe we have more firepower then them. Do we have any bazooka rounds?
Sally: Only a few.
Wu-Fei: Fire a couple into the building once the three guards are taken out. And have the choppers circle the building while we're busting in.
Sally: I hope this works.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Customer: There ain't no way I'm paying for this garbage.
Drug Lord: I'll tell ya what. Pay for the stuff, or you and your boys leave in a body bag.
Customer: Oh that's it.
*He points a gun at the drug dealer.
Drug Lord: You wanna shoot me? Fine. Let's see if you have the guts to pull the fuckin trigger.
*Two missiles come flying through the windows through two sides and explodes in the warehouses. It injures several gunmen as the Preventers makes sure they don't accidentally kill anyone. Everyone is thrown in a state of confusion as the Preventer agents come busting into the warehouse.
Sally: Freeze! You're all under arrest.
*They all begin to drop their guns.
Drug Lord: What're you doing? Don't just drop your weapons like that!
Sally: I said drop them!
*Sally screaming at him startles the Drug Lord and he drops their weapon.
Wu-Fei: All right. Open up those containers.
*The agents opens up the containers and finds Heroine in them.
Agent 1: It's drugs sir.
Wu-Fei: Drugs?
Sally: Wait a minute. I recognize that man. He's a major Drug Lord around here.
Wu-Fei: Great. The only problem with this bust is that there was suppose to be a terrorist group here!
*He kicks a can on the floors and storms out of the warehouse as Sally follows behind him.
Wu-Fei: Damn it. This is just to lead us of the trail.
Sally: Take it easy Wu-Fei. At least we did a little bit of good, even if it was unintentional.
Wu-Fei: Let's get on the COM system in the truck and see if we can get in touch of Noin's ship. Maybe she had better luck than us.
Sally: Right.
*Sally and Wu-Fei both walks over to the truck as they contact headquarters.
Sally: Get Noin's ship online and transfer it here.
Operator: Yes Ma'am.
Sally: Noin? Noin, how is everything there? Did you find anything?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Noin: Um, Sally.now isn't a good time to talk.
*In deep space, Noin's spaceship is chased by 6 fighters. She's has a hard time getting away from them as they fire at the ship.
Noin: Damn it! Hit again. There just isn't enough maneuverability with this ship compared to those fighters. I can't shake them.
*Zechs's voice comes on the radio.
Zechs: Noin, I'm set. Open the hatch.
Noin: They're pretty fast Zechs.
Zechs: They won't be a problem.
Noin: Right. It's best if you use the bazooka instead.
Zechs: I copy.
*The fighters begin to close in on the ship as they notice the bay doors open.
Pilot 1: Wait a minute. Something is opening up.
Pilot 2: It's a mobile suit!
Pilot 1: Checking the make of the suit. No way. It's the Tallgeese!
*The Tallgeese takes off and takes out its beam saber. It heads towards one of the fighters and swipes it with its beam saber before it could make any sudden moves.
Pilot 1: Damn it. This won't be easy. Evasive maneuvers. Hit him with missiles instead.
All the other pilots: Roger.
*The five remaining fighters begin to fire missiles hitting the Tallgeese. He has a hard time avoiding them due to their speed.
Zechs: Damn. They are fast. But you can't beat this mobile suit with those things!
*He takes out his heat rod and swings it at two fighters destroying them instantly.
Pilot 3: We can't get near that monster.
Pilot 1:Fighters just won't cut it. We're returning to base. Maximum thrust.
The other pilots: Yes sir.
*The three fighters begins to speed away passing by the ship. Noin fires the lasers and hits one of the fighters but misses the remaining two.
Noin: They're getting away. We won't be able to follow them at their speed.
Zechs: I'll take care of them.
*He takes out his bazooka and locks on to one of the fighters. He fires and in and moments later the missile hits destroying the fighter.
Pilot 1: Christ! A bazooka!
Zechs: Firing.
*He fires a second round towards the remaining fighter.
Pilot 1: Missile lock. I can't evade!
*Moments later, the missile hits the fighter and destroys the last one.
Zechs: That's the last of them Noin.
Noin: Did good as usual, Zechs.
Sally: Um, Noin?
Noin: You're still online? I didn't even realize. We had to take care of something. Sorry about that.
Sally: It's all right. By the way, did you two set a date yet?
Noin: No. We've been engaged for four months now, but due to this recent incident we had to cancel wedding plans for late January.
Sally: That's a shame. So, did you guys find anything?
Noin: We found little evidence that there was a base there, but very little. Someone was already there waiting for us before we could collect anymore. We don't know where their base is. Any luck over there?
Sally: None. Turns out we accidentally performed a drug bust instead.
Noin: Hmm, they covered their tracks well.
Sally: Yea, you're telling me. I'm worried there might be a repeat of After Colony 196.
Noin: Me too.
Sally: Oh, hang on. I'm getting another transmission. Sally Po here.
Duo: Man, I had a hell of a time trying to get through to you guys.
Sally: Duo Maxwell?
Wu-Fei: Did you say Duo?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Back at the annual meeting, Releena is pleading to the representatives why the Terra-Formation project should remain active.
Relena: I understand that it has been very difficult the past six years. But, it's not like anyone said that this would be any easy. The Christmas Eve bombing is a tragic event. But, if we give in now, we would've done exactly what the terrorists want us to do.
*Meanwhile, on another colony in a small house, a Television is on in the bedroom with the meeting on the screen, and Heero Yuy working on the computer. On his computer screen is a picture of the man Quatre and Duo both recognized.
Herro: Name, Trant Clark, former Oz technician, reportedly gone AWOL in After Colony Year 195. Report says he stole Wing Zero destroyed several Oz mobile suits when they went to retrieve him. But when Wing Zero was found a second time, he had obviously abandoned the mobile suit. His current status is unknown, at least until now that is.
Woman's voice: Heero.
*A woman walks into the room. Her name is Sandra Yuy, who is now Heero's wife. They've been married for a year now. Even Heero has managed to find true love in his past five-year absence.
Sandra: There you are working on the computer again. I swear, you just don't know when to take a break. Here, I bought you some coffee. You can use it.
*She turns and looks at the T.V. noticing Relena on it.
Sandra: Hey, didn't you say you knew that woman.
Heero: At one point I did.
Sandra: Guess you both lost contact. Well, she is a busy person now, I guess.
*He takes the coffee from her hand and drinks it.
Heero: Thanks for the coffee.
Sandra: Hey, you needed it.
*Heero gets up and goes to the closet.
Sandra: Huh? What're you doing?
Heero: I'm going to have to go somewhere for a bit.
*She sees him take out his pistol. She has a worried look on her face.
Sandra: Oh no. Not another secret mission Heero.
*She runs over to him to try and convince him not to go anywhere.
Sandra: Heero. I don't care what you use to be. You don't have to do this anymore.
Heero: The bombing at Mars was only the beginning. They'll hit that colony next.
Sandra: Just contact the authorities then.
Heero: You know they won't listen. I have to go and help out somehow.
Sandra: You know.we have a four month-old son. I don't want him growing up without a father.
*He grabs her into his arms.
Heero: He'll grow up to be a strong man. And he won't grow up without a father. I promise.
Sandra: But why do you have to go? (tears begin to roll down her cheeks) We're in a time of peace now.
Heero: I know. But there are those that still find a reason to keep on fighting. As long as they're around, I have to keep on fighting too. I'm sorry.
Sandra: So this is what I'm in for being married to you. You're constant having to save the world mission, or protect the peace. Heero, I don't want you to die.
*She begins to cry on his soldier as Heero embraces her.
Heero: I won't die Sandra. I'll come back to you.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ *Back at the annual meeting...
Relena: So I implore you, the Terra-Formation project is vital to E.S.U.N. space exploration. I ask that you vote to keep the project going.
*A representative suddenly speaks out.
Representative: But Ms. Relena. The problem is not only safety issues, but the financial burden this project has been on the E.S.U.N. If another incident occurs, there will be probably no way to continue the project.
Relena: I understand your concerns. But we just have to show those who don't understand our intentions how much help this will be for the people in the long run. We're running out of space to build colonies around the earth. Plus, this will be a great opportunity to explore new horizons, and get a better understanding of our galaxy.
*The representatives begin to discuss the topic amongst each other, some agreeing with her point of view, and some disagreeing. Another representative speaks out.
Representative: This is not an issue to be taken lightly. I suggest we wait until the President arrives two days from now to bring up the topic.
*All the representative agree with him.
Relena: Of course. Shall we all recess for the day then? We'll discuss other issues tomorrow.
Senate President: Yes, I do believe that is the best thing to do. This topic has worn us all out. Meeting dismissed. We continue tomorrow at 9 a.m.
*Relena walks out of the building as she tries to make her way towards the limo. She is crowded by reporters everywhere asking questions about the conference. An exhausted Relena Darlian makes it through with her husband waiting for her inside.
Hamilton: You were magnificent Relena. You probably won over about half of the representatives today.
Relena: Yes, but they always have doubts one after another. I'm just glad it's all over for today.
Hamilton: Driver, to the hotel please.
*Relena and Hamilton return to the hotel, but little do they realize that they are being watched by a certain group of people. A man gets on a pay phone.
Spy: Relena has entred the hotel.
Trant: Good. We'll make our move once she enters her room.
Spy: The husband appears to be talking to someone in the lobby.
Trant: We'll nab him too. Although Relena is not to be harmed, I don't want Hamilton hurt either.
Spy: I'll pass the word along, sir.
Trant: My goal is almost accomplished. Just a little while longer now.
*Trant heads over to the hotel. He enters the hotel and begins to take the elevator up with several other people already inside it. Meanwhile, Relena has already entered her room as she waits for her husband. She turns off the T.V. after watching the news for a while.
Relena: It gets too hard all the time.You either gotta please the entire world otherwise you end up being a failure. Nothing ever comes easy.
*Outside the room, several men with machine guns are waiting outside.
Trant: We're set. Set off the explosives.
*Moments later, several explosives throughout the colony begins to go off. The explosions happens in area where there is little or no people around at all. The explosions startles Relena.
Relena: Oh my god. What was that?
*They break into the room grabbing Relena.
Relena: Hey, what's going on here? Who are you people?
*She comes face to face with Trant.
Trant: Mrs. Relena Peacecraft. Former Queen. How it is an honor to meet you.
Relena: Who are you?
Trant: A group of people that supports colony independence. Take Relena upstairs to the Presidential sweet immediately. What's the status of the hotel?
Rebel 1: We've secured the hotel. And have already nabbed the husband. He's on his way up at this exact moment.
Trant: Good. I'm looking forward to meeting him too.
To be continued...
