Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing, or Escaflowne. I am
nothing but a loyal fan of both series.
AN: This is my first attempt at a crossover and a series. I haven't seen that much of Escaflowne, so I'm not too familiar with the characters, which is why I'm only going to use Allen, Van, Hitomi and Merle. Any other character I'll add as soon as I think I am familiar with him enough to write about him. Again, please review, and tell me what's wrong with the story. After all, this is my first attempt at a crossover and anything Escaflowne! ^.^ By the way, I have no idea how Hitomi went back to Earth, so pretend whatever I wrote was true. And pretend that the Gundams weren't destroyed at the end of Endless Waltz. I know, so many changes… but this is the easiest way to keep the story going, without messing up the storyline.This should be better than my other fics, because this was beta-read. Arigatoo Kalen. ~~Gaea~~ "Hitomi, must you go? You can stay here. You can stay in Fanelia. Hitomi!" Van started. He was holding her hand. Reluctant to let her go. Though he knew Hitomi was a stubborn girl, if she wanted to go back to Earth, she would, no matter what he said. But still, he had to try. The war was over. They had saved Gaea. Now, Hitomi had to go back to Earth. To be a part of her old world again. Hitomi too was reluctant to go. In the time she had spent here, on Gaea, she had grown quite fond of Van. And Allen, and Merle. But it was only reasonable to go back Earth, after all, there was nothing left for her to do. No reason for her to stay. "Van, it was great being with you and with Allen and Merle and everyone. I would-" Hitomi stopped in the middle of her sentence. She was struck once more by a terrible vision. Her physical body went limp, but thankfully Van was close enough to catch her before she fell. Allen and Merle looked at each other; a hint of concern tinted their eyes. They walked toward Hitomi. Together, Van, Allen and Merle formed a tight circle around Hitomi while she was unconscious due to the images from her vision. *Giant robots, Mobile Suits fighting...cities engulfed by flames...five robots, fighting - they're real? Gundams? Earth...come back to the Earth, it needs you!* "Who are you? What's going on?" Hitomi yelled to the horrifying scene of people, fleeing, children crying and the terrible stench of death. Suddenly, Hitomi woke up. Her eyes fluttered open. Then, a great, giant column of light hit her, surrounding Van, Allen and Merle as well. The four flew up through the light, not knowing where they may lead ~~Earth~~ "Duo, you're late." Lady Une informed the pilot. All of the former Gundam pilots, as well as Zechs, Noin and Relena were all called into Lady Une's office for an emergency meeting. "Hey, sorry, but I had a little trouble on the road, traffic, ya know- whoa! What's with them four? Guessing from the outfit, they're not from here, are they?" Duo stopped mid-step. Everyone there looked at Duo with an annoying look, the four from Gaea included. Merle was scared out of her wits, while clinging to Allen because Hitomi was still in Van's arms. Hitomi spoke first. After all, she was the one with the vision. "May I ask, where am I?" She spoke politely and with caution. Lady Une looked at everyone before she started to speak, as if to ask for approval, "You are on Earth. Specifically, on Earth which is now called the New Earth Sphere in the Preventer's Headquarter, in the Commander's, my, office." She too spoke with politeness and caution, but a hint of dignity was visible in her voice. Hitomi was overjoyed that she was finally back on Earth, and broke into a smile. She never thought she'd be home again. Even though things had changed a lot since her trip to Gaea, it was still good to be back. Hitomi, overjoyed that she finally got back to Earth broke into a smile. The Chief of Preventers looked at her with a certain amount of expectation, as if it were her cue to tell her and everybody else whom she was. Hitomi stood up and smoothed the skirt of her uniform, motioning to van and the others to follow her lead. Van, Allen and Merle took the hint stood beside Hitomi. "My name is Kanzaki Hitomi. I am from Japan, Earth. He," she gestured to Van, " is the King of Fanelia. His name is Van Slanzar de Fanel," a quick nod to Allen, "He is the Heavenly Knight of Astoria. His name is Allen Schezar," finally she inclined her head towards Merle, "She is a habitant of Fanelia. Her name is Merle. They're all from a planet called Gaea." Everyone looked on with awe. After all this time they didn't know that another planet existed. Relena felt that she had the duty to introduce and represent her friends. After all, it was in her job description, Foreign Minister and all. "My name is Relena Darlian, the Vice Foreign Minister of the New Earth Sphere. This is my brother, Zechs Marquise. He's a Preventers agent. Next to him is Lucrezia Noin, another agent." She was interrupted by Duo, who called out "Or you can call her Zechs' girlfriend!" This earned chuckles from everyone, even a smile from Trowa and Heero, barring two very red Zechs and Noin. Hitomi and company found this somewhat comical. Despite the fact that they barely know each other. They relaxed a certain degree. And Merle who couldn't stop giggling, released Allen from her death grip on his arm. As everyone recovered, Relena continued. "As I was saying, this is Lady Une, Chief of Preventers. I'm sure you've already met her. This is Duo Maxwell. He is an ex-Gundam Pilot, and currently running a salvage business." Duo, once again interrupted Relena. "You can call me Shinigami!" Hitomi and company got a weird look on their face. After all, who would call themselves the God of Death? Relena noted they were confused and helped a bit, "Don't mind him. No one gets him. Next is Trowa Barton. Also an ex-Gundam Pilot. Currently working with his sister in a circus. This is Quatre Raberba Winner. Another ex-Gundam Pilot. Also the owner of Winner Enterprises. Next is Wufei Chang. Ex-Gundam Pilot. He's also a Preventers agent - as is Sally Po next to him. Last is Heero Yuy," Relena continued flawlessly until it was Heero's turn, where she became a little flustered, "He too was a Gundam Pilot, now a Preventers agent as well." By the time everyone was introduced the group was much more relaxed than before. The tension had been almost immediately dissolved once Duo made the joke about Zechs and Noin. The group was much more friendly than the beginning, but there are still much to know about each other, before Hitomi could get the chance to tell them about her vision.
Next time: Hitomi finally tells the others about her vision. Will they trust her? Or not? Next time in Visions of Home: Part Two, To Trust or Not to trust?
