Chapter 1: Past Tomorrow.

A.C. 195 – War against Oz

A.C. 196 – Mariemaiauprising

A.C. 197 – Heero is pronounced missing

A.C. 223 – present day for the story.

A/N, I'm not entirely sure what inspired this story, but it sounds pretty good in my own mind so I thought I would give writing it a shot. Unlike most of what a write Heero and Relena will not be getting together in this fic for reasons that will be apparent at the end of the second chapter.

A lot happens in twenty-five years. For Trowa Barton he was now a father, and deputy director of the preventers. The job was a pretty good one, he was in charge of personal assignments. Ever since the birth of his son five years ago he had retired from field duty.

Currently he was in a meeting along with the director of the preventer organization, Lucrezia Merquis. Normally, that wouldn't be a bad thing, but it was the topic of the meeting that caused a dark mood to settle in. In short, there was a new hostile group. They were missed by the preventers for one simple reason, they were preventers.

It was treachery in the worst way, and it ran as deeply as one of Relena's personal security guards charged with the graveyard shift. He along with at least five other preventer officers were in league, to kidnapped Foreign Minister Relena, and the president, and vice president. In one swift effort they had brought the executive government to a standstill, and without Relena's calming words and presence, panic was breaking out. The best analysts gave their opinions, rescue or replace the president in the next 24 hours. The speaker of the house, next in the line of succession was currently missing, with no word on his whereabouts. That left the President pro tempore of the senate, A war veteran who was extremely eager to declare martial law and restore order. Nothing was looking very promising at this moment in time.

Then came the suggestion they were all thinking, but no one had wanted to be the first to bring up. Twenty years ago, pilot 01 had set up for the preventers a series of fail-safes to ensure they could continue to operate in almost any scenario. He had prepared things so throughly, that descriptions of possible situations were left behind, and included instructions on what fail-safe to use in that instance. This scenario qualified for the activation of contingencies 'Chi'. The fail-safes were classified using Greek letters, Chi, Psi, and Omega were the most drastic of scenarios. The present situation certainly classified.

The dungeon, as it was affectionately known was the basement of the preventer headquarters. It's security was tight, almost as tight as a Las Vegas casino vault, almost.

The purpose of the basement was for contingencies of any type, it could withstand the building above being ground zero for a massive explosion, the air was filtered and recycled so that it could be completely sealed from the outside world, there was a standby medical facility to handle almost anything, and then there was the things most people weren't supposed to know about, and probably wouldn't want to know about.

Heero Yuy used his extensive knowledge massively destructive weapons to give the preventers some aces up their sleeve if something unforeseen were to happen. Only a handful of people knew it existed, even fewer knew the kinds of things that were in here. And no one knew what exactly it was Trowa Barton was about to turn loose. The only one who would know what it was, hadn't been seen in twenty years.

'Chi' looked like little more then a storage crate. It was contained within a vault, that like the rest of the area, looked like a where house for storing paperwork. No one could find what was here unless they knew what they were looking for, and since no one did, it was never found. Trowa approached, and opened the door to this vault for the first time in twenty-five years. The first thing he noticed was the drastic drop in temperature. It was at least 15 degrees colder inside. Trowa approached a large metal cylinder, he reached out and touched it, then quickly brought back his hand that was burned by the cold. To say the least, Trowa was really starting to wonder what was hidden here. So without further delay he went to the small computer console, and entered the code that would activate whatever 'Chi' was. After the code was entered, chills went down Trowa's spine, and it wasn't from the block of ice that he could now see, it was from the message given by the computer.

"Beginning thaw of cryogenic freeze subject: 01. Time remaining: 2 hours."

Trowa pulled out his phone and dialed the number of the preventers head, "Ma'am, I suggest you get down here immediately. I just found out what happened to Heero Yuy."

Next time:

"Heero, are you all right?"

"Trowa? Yeah I guess, but what are you doing on L1? I thought I had covered my tracks to well."

"L1?"

"Yeah I came to see Dr. J and..."

"Heero does this area look familiar to you?"

"I assume it would if I could see."

"... You can't see?"

"Apparently after being frozen it takes a little while for everything to start working again, but what are you going on about anyways?"
