Chapter 01

The area had been surrounded by fog. No man knew the whereabouts of this place, only the fact that there was such a place. In this gloomy realm, a boy in his late teens stood across from a younger boy in early adolescence.

"Are you afraid?" The young boy asked.

"No." The elder boy standing ahead of him replied.

"Oh… I wish I was as brave as you." He responded faintly.

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"Everything."

The elder boy looked at him disdainfully, shaking his head languidly. He walked up to the younger boy, gazing straight down upon the younger boy with utmost discontent.

"Why are you afraid? Have you already discarded all there is to keep moving forward?" The elder boy asked furiously. The younger boy fidgeted in reply.

"I-I just have to run away. I'm a hopeless kid stuck in a dumb war. Just look at what it's done to everybody. What's the use in continuing on or even facing it for that matter?"

The elder boy was aggravated even more by his remarks.

"So that's a reason to keep running away? Not facing the problem up forth because you know you're powerless?"

"You know it to be true…" The younger boy paused frightfully, hesitating to choose his next words. "You know more than anybody else, don't you?"

"Absolutely not!" The older boy abruptly responded, "Why can't you take a moment to embrace what you love most, then protect it with all you have?"

"B-but…But…!" The young boy wailed, "You don't mean making the impossible possible, don't you?"

"Absolutely. So why can't you do so now?" The elder boy confessed more calmly.

"Because…" The young boy did not utter a word for a long moment, "Have you ever wondered that we're dealing with the forces of God, here?"

The elder boy felt bitter once again. He felt pure pity for this younger boy, so timid and fragile. He felt that this was not a time for fear, nor a time for negligence. This boy had to be taught of the ways that he, himself, had adopted throughout his own boyhood.

"You'd have to be a fool to believe that nonsense! There is no being called God, and even if there is one, there is only a will by us humans towards achieving our successes. Tell me, how would you go on to propose peace had the responsibility been taken into your hands?"

"I'm trying to tell you…we can't! Have you seen it? That evil that's running amuck over the world? They've come to kill us all. You don't know yet do you? We failed already! Everybody is dead."

A sudden urge ran through the elder boy to wrap his hands around this boy's neck and kill him. How could a child like this be lacking of all hope and willpower? Is it just his innocence and immaturity that's causing him to think so? Does this boy have some truth in what he's saying? Impossible.

"Then…" The elder boy prepared to tell him now the truth, "You're better off dying along with the rest of them." The elder boy turned around and walked back towards the doldrums.

"You're afraid too, aren't you?" The younger boy worriedly remarked.

"No." The elder boy hastily answered.

"I-I'm telling you. You've been through it more than I have and you're just gonna die like everyone else!" The younger boy fell to his knees, tearing.

"Shut up…" The elder boy murmured.

"Don't go! Just run while you still can!" The young boy's words rang throughout the atmosphere.

The elder boy heard these words as though a bullet shot through his head. He couldn't believe how some people were so foolish to lack all faith. He had made his decision now. He was going to kill this boy. The younger boy was better off dead, and that must've been what he wished. There's no room for the weak in a time for war, and now was the time to rid one soul of his misery.

The elder boy ferociously flung himself around, laying his eyes upon the younger boy. He jumped towards him with his arms held out in front of him, ready to entangle the boy's neck with his fingertips.

However, a flash from out of nowhere blinded him in his fury. He landed on his knees, covering his face from the mighty radiance it suddenly became. The light faded slowly as he continuously gazed upon the light under his eyes, and eventually he found himself standing before a girl. He stood up and observed her features - stunningly beautiful face, long, silvery white hair, rather shorter in stature than he, and wore no garments - described the being before him.

The elder boy could not take his eyes off the fascination of this girl. He had completely forgotten about the young boy whom he intended to kill, and now laid his eyes upon the wonder he's witnessing now. He felt a little fright sending chills through his veins, but he wanted to know this girl more. He raised his hand out slowly just to touch her, to connect. Could she be, perhaps, an angel? This was the sign of hope, and she was the beacon to guide him away from all of the fear he had been hiding. Fear? He is admitting to it now despite the young boy's warning? His hand slowly lowered as this thought slowly possessed him. The girl before him shook her head all of a sudden. He glanced at her, wondering what her dissatisfaction could be.

"You cannot prevail..." The girl whispered.

The face of this beautiful girl suddenly began to crumble away. A blackish aura flooded the entire area, clouding around her naked body and slowly merging into a robe. The wind suddenly gave a powerful gust, knocking the boy onto his feet. The girl - now the monster - stared down at the elder boy. Her intimidating stare aroused a sense of extreme despair within the boy. However, it suddenly came only to be a vision. In an instant, she vanished.

The boy could no longer move or speak a word to define the horror he had just witnessed. He looked upon the sky, still eclipsed under a thick layer of darkness. He felt his body wither away, becoming one with the deep mist.

"Heero[1]? Heero! Speak to me, pal!" Duo's[2] voice echoed through the cockpit.

Heero slowly regained his consciousness. The cluttered space he was in seemed to be very blurred. He waited it out for a little while, and finally regained his vision fully in moments. He gently placed his hand on his forehead, taking a deep breath, and finally began to speak.

"I'm here. What's going on?" Heero replied quietly.

"About time you're awake. You've been asleep inside of your Gundam[3] for hours already! Sure I could've just knocked on that cockpit door of yours, but there's no way through that tough metal would wake you up." Duo humorously said.

Heero flipped on the communication system inside his Gundam. He could now see Duo being emitted in front of him, appearing to be all relaxed and laid back. Heero wondered what he was acting so cool about.

"Do you know where we are?" Heero asked.

"You bet I do! According to the latitude-longitude coordinates, we're somewhere off the Kanto region of Japan. I ain't sure how we ended up here but hey, coincidences happen, right?" Duo said with a brief chuckle.

"Sure."

Heero laid his hands on the main controls of his mobile suit. With a swift push of the thrusting handlebars in front of him, he felt slightly arisen. Wing Gundam Zero[4] came to its feet, standing tall over the entire countryside he was in. Heero immediately switched on the display through the Gundam's internal camera system, and then caught a glimpse of this area. Like he assumed, he witnessed the numerous trees surrounding this place. He, alongside Duo's Gundam, Deathscythe Hell[5], were standing atop of a crater. This crater was obviously made by some kind of impact from the Gundams onto this soil.

"Say, Heero?" Duo questioned.

"Hm?"

"Ya think that these Gundams would be totaled by now after we, um…Supposedly crashed into this place? I gotta tell you right now that Deathscythe has already taken quite a bruising. I mean, get a load of these damage reports!" Duo excitingly exclaimed. "So whaddya think we oughta do? I say we abandon the Gundams for now and just check this place out on foot for a while. I've just been waiting in here for you to wake up, is all."

"We're still not aware of this place, are we?" Heero asked.

"Well, I got coordinates here like I would back at home. How different could it be? We probably just went back in time for all we know."

Heero closed his eyes and sunk his head down a little bit. He vaguely remembered what happened just before he fell into somewhat of a coma. He questioned himself over and over, trying to regain a hint of remembrance of the events that happened before he tumbled into a deep sleep. Heero, at this point, could only accept what Duo's suggesting, that they went back in time.

"Hello? Buddy, you there?" Duo interrupted his thoughts.

"I'm going forth with Zero. If you're positive we went back In time, then our best option would be to go forth with the Gundams and keep our guard up. Understood?" Heero thoroughly explained.

"You sure know what you're doing, don't ya? I'm sure whenever we encounter any people around this parts we'll just give 'em the good ol' 'We come in peace' speech." Duo said.

"Just follow my lead for now." Heero said, shutting off his communication system. Duo shrugged in response inside of his own Gundam, and he rose Deathscythe onto its feet, as well.

Heero took a moment to pinpoint Duo's coordinates. He input the location of Japan, and slowly the system circumnavigated the Earth until it pinpoint on the country of Japan. Duo was correct, by pure coincidence; they must've landed in this particular region. He scanned his location a bit further, and read that the nearest possible civilization nearby would be Tokyo only about three hundred kilometers from this spot. This would be the best place to settle down and figure out where we're at, thought Heero.

He prepared to take flight with Wing Zero. The Gundam spread its large, majestic angelic wings, planted its feet into the ground, and set a course of flight to take off. In an instant, he took off, soaring towards the skies at hypersonic speeds. Heero checked behind him, and realized Duo has taken flight as well. The two Gundams were soaring through the skies of this supposedly new planet Earth, awaiting any form of civilization at any first sight.

"So do you mind telling me where we're going first, Heero?" Duo asked while maintaining his flight speed.

"We're headed eastward to Tokyo. My plan is to find a fair location along outside the borders of the city to leave these mobile suits behind, hide them in a secure and concealed location, and we'll proceed into the city like ordinary civilians." Heero described thoroughly.

"Welp, you're calling the shots, buddy." Duo shrugged again and said.

Heero and Duo remained flying for a few more minutes. They both took the time to observe the rather impressing features of this place. Heero was astounded by the trees and mountains that flourished the area from below. He witnessed right now a forest that was like a sanctuary. There was no fighting below him, none done by human arms or through mobile suits. He still shook his head in grief, however. He was still unsure what this world – this realm – was exactly.

The navigation system within the Gundam alerted Heero he was approaching Tokyo at this moment. It would be approximately three minutes before they'd be soaring directly above the city.

"We'll land here. We shouldn't be seen hovering over the city."

"Roger that, pal." Duo replied as he began looking downward.

The boys halted their Gundams to a stop, now floating in midair. Duo descended first, spreading Deathscythe's wings a little bit out farther in order to make this descent. Heero followed, calmly and slowly lowering himself in his mobile suit down to ground level. In just a few minutes, both suits had hit the hard Earth soil. Heero looked ahead and noticed a skyline over the horizon, indicating civilization was only about a dozen miles away. He immediately contacted Duo.

"Okay, now lay the Gundams down in a position where we can keep them hidden. As long as nobody sees them while heading past this area, we should be-"

"Heero! Did you hear that?" Duo interrupted loudly.

Heero paused in confusion. He heard nothing right now. He remained completely silent and tried to listen for anything. Finally, he heard some kind of an echo ringing throughout the open air. It was a voice of a woman, over what sounded to be a public address system:

A state of special emergency has been declared all over Kanto and Chubu districts around Tokai district. Please take refuge in the designated shelters.

"Did you hear that, Heero? They've been repeating that the past couple minutes when I was just trying to land this thing." Duo exclaimed.

This alarmed Heero all of a sudden. A special emergency? Take refuge in shelters? The civilians of this city more than likely assumed that he and Duo were intruders of some sort. Heero immediately hypothesized they did not go back in time.

Heero suddenly felt a crash hitting him from behind! He turned around, noticing a missile turret planted into the ground. There were several turrets lined across the highway where that one turret lay, each aiming directly towards Wing Zero and Deathscythe.

"I guess a 'We come in peace' speech would come in handy now, would-?" Duo shrieked and jumped all of a sudden. Heero noticed a small barrage of missiles struck him from behind. Deathscythe rumbled violently as Duo tried to hold tight onto the cockpit chair. "Maybe I can wait a little while!"

Heero shook his head at Duo's stubbornness. He turned directly towards the missile turrets. Up from Wing Zero's shoulders bolted out two machine cannons[6]. Heero locked onto the turrets lined across from him and immediately fired numerous rounds at them. Upon impact from Wing Zero's ammunition, they were destroyed in an instant.

Duo, simultaneously, drew out a large rod from Deathscythe's side. Immediately, a large, green beam of energy sprung out of one handle into the curve of a scythe, becoming the deadly beam scissors[7]. Heero had noticed a flurry of missiles heading his direction. Duo immediately jumped in front of Wing Zero and slashed through the incoming projectiles with a swift slash. They both then found another line of turrets ahead of them. Duo plunged forward, maneuvering Deathscythe and avoiding the multitudes of missiles darting towards him. He lifted the beam above his head, and flung the blade down horizontally along the line of turrets, destroying them instantly.

"Heero, we better get outta here! I don't think these people are very welcoming...at all." Duo shuddered and said.

"Right. We'll take the skies going westward, and..."

Go forward, Heero.

Heero trembled in the cockpit chair. Who said that? He thought. It was the voice of a girl, her voice very soft and elegant. It was most mysterious above all, since it suddenly rang through his head. What was even more mysterious was this voice was telling him what to do. He gripped the control yokes of the cockpit tighter, questioning now whether to tall this girl's advice or to flee.

"Yo, Heero? Where did you say we're going?" Duo asked.

Heero faltered in trying to state his response. He lowered his head, giving his decision, "Keep going forward with your Gundam. We have to make it into that city."

"Are you blinding insane, pal? We're just gonna end up hurting civilians in a city trying to defend itself! They probably even think we're aliens of some sort trying to invade their precious city! We're shrimp on skewers if we go in there!" Duo returned.

"Just do as I say, alright? We'll do our best to proceed without hurting any innocent lives." Heero responded quickly as he took flight once more, soaring straight towards the city. Duo sighed in mild grief as he followed Wing Zero.

Heero noticed even more ballistics propelling towards the two Gundams. He immediately drew from the recharge racks within its wings a blade handle, and ignited from the handle a long rod of energy, the beam saber[8]. There were about a dozen missiles flying straight into him. He swung the blade in front of him, destroying half of the incoming missiles. He maneuvered his Gundam avoiding the rest, but immediately finished them with several fires from the unit's machine cannons.

The two pilots, for about five more minutes, continued to fight off the countless incoming missiles and bullets that were racing towards them in every direction. Duo remained ascended for most of the time, but frequently dove down whenever he found a source of the shooting and disposed of them with Deathscythe's beam scissors. Heero remained in midair, shooting every missile that was on course hitting his Gundam. The boys eventually came to realize they were now coming slower and slower.

They descended into the ground when the projectiles seemingly stopped firing. The various turrets scattered all over the area were either destroyed or out of ammunition, Heero assumed. They now observed the city itself, very quiet was the place. The ground began to shake mildly, however. Heero observed his surroundings more, and suddenly noticed the buildings were sinking! At the same time, the boys realized there were buildings also rising from the ground – but they were no ordinary buildings. Judging by their shape and appearance, they looked more like to be containers of some kind. The city had morphed into an enormous fortress, Heero thought. Only a few civilian buildings remained visible while the other structures were these supposed weapon caches along with solid walls that looked impenetrable.

"Did you see that, Heero? I think these guys just turned this playground into a battlefield!" Duo said excitingly.

"Don't think of this as a party. They obviously halted their fire for some reason…" Heero said and blinked, trying to scan the area of anything suspicious.

"Welp, now that they quit firing at us, we may as well get outta here now while they're not trying to kill us." Duo suggested. "I mean… We don't wanna cause any more trouble than we already have, right?"

"No, just stay."

"You're joking, right? How do you know they won't drop a nuke on us and wipe the floor with our about-to-be scrap Gundams?" Duo contended.

Heero questioned himself again. Should I really take orders from that voice? The girl whom contacted unnaturally seemed to be tainting his thoughts right now. Heero placed his palm on his forehead, swaying his head side to side. He felt confused, but he decided already to go along with Duo and just leave.

"Alright, we'll-"

"Holy hell, Heero! What's that thing!" Duo bellowed all of a sudden, pointing his beam scissors in one direction.

Heero looked that way, and noticed in the distance of the very edge of the city a tall figure. It appeared to be orange, rather skinny, and very flexible in comparison to the mobile suits they were piloting. It was on one knee, looking directly at them from behind a small structure. It was wielding a weapon of some sort – a rifle. Duo gripped the beam scissors with both of Deathscythe's hands, and stood his ground strongly.

"Whatever this thing ahead of us is, it definitely has a bone to pick with us." Duo rejoiced.

Heero shut his eyes and observed the adversary ahead of them. At that moment, his mind linked with the ZERO System within Wing Zero. He took a deeper observation of this robot. Heero suddenly discovered – a rising threat to them – the abilities of this unit. ZERO depicted images through his mind of this machine's vast capabilities. He noticed it run and jump at very high speeds, carry several armaments at hand, and – most devastating of all – destroying both their Gundams with its bear hands.

"Stay back, Duo. That thing up ahead of us is big. It outmatches both of us in size, and possibly combat. I'm warning you now, we should best flee right now!" Heero demanded.

"I think you get scared a bit too easily, Heero. We've faced plenty of bigger bad guys before. Nothing keeps the God of Death[9] down!" Duo smirked and said.

Duo lunged forward with the beam scissors held above the Gundam's head. He flew straight into the sky, eventually eclipsing the sun and clouding the city in brief darkness, and dove down towards the orange foe at great speeds. Duo smirked as he prepared to deliver a blow.

"Take…THIS!" Duo yelled at the top of his lungs as he threw the scythe down towards this orange machine.

Heero flew towards the action, and suddenly found the larger robot catching the beam scissors effortlessly. The orange mech continued by raising its hand, and immediately striking down at Deathscythe will little force. Duo collapsed onto the ground, disarmed.

"Hey Heero, you there! Looks like this thing packs a bigger punch than we thought! Mind giving me a hand…Here?" Duo shouted louder when the other machine had leaped off of the structure it was standing on and punched Duo's Gundam in the torso. Due to its size, it appeared that punch could tear apart the rest of the Gundam with only a few more identical blows.

Heero gazed a little terrified at the colossal machine that was bombarding Duo's Gundam right now. He decided then it was time to turn to even bigger weaponry to take this thing down, now. Stored behind Wing Zero, Heero drew its largest and most powerful armament: the Twin Buster Rifle. Separated into two different guns, he immediately merged them into the formation of a long beam cannon.

He pointed his weapon towards the giant machine. Heero suddenly felt a brief collapse in the air around him! He ignored it, blinked, and resumed taking aim at this foe ahead of him. The robot up ahead had Deathscythe held high above its head, but immediately flung Duo downwards into the hard concrete ground. One shot would do it, Heero thought.

Do not shoot, Heero.

It was that same girl's voice again. Heero lost his grip of the cockpit controls. He felt as if he were floating in the depths of space. Who was this girl talking to him? He felt cold, very cold. He wrapped his arms around himself, trying to shrug off this chills.

"HEERO? What in the name of all the good pacifists are you doing? Shoot this damn thing off of me already! AAH!" Duo shook violently within the cockpit as the tall robot delivered another blow on the helpless Deathscythe on the ground.

Heero shook his head vigorously. Without even looking, he slammed the triggers within the cockpit, firing a powerful blast of high output beam from the Twin Buster Rifle racing towards the monstrous foe. The orange robot turned towards the blast, only less than a kilometer away from its collision course. Seemingly without effort, the mech sidestepped, dodging the blast with ease and causing the beam to soar aimlessly into the horizon. Heero stared ahead of him in utter disbelief upon his failure to hit the robot ahead.

Immediately, the orange robot charged towards Heero. It leaped over the various structures and civilian buildings in its way, keeping its attention towards the Gundam. Heero took flight, and Wing Zero sprung upward several hundred meters within just a few seconds. He began to prepare another attempt to shoot this giant, merging the two halves of the rifle once more and aimed straight towards it. It was too fast, however. The orange mech was supposedly hopping from side to side, trying to avoid Heero's range.

Do not shoot, Heero.

The soft voice of that girl rang through his head for a third time. This time, Heero shook his mind off of her more easily, but it was enough to distract him from the bigger threat to him right now. It wasn't long until it was nearly right below his Gundam. It leaned down, but then suddenly sprung straight upward, following closely in Wing Zero's path. Unable to fire at it from its position, Heero looked upward and rocketed straight towards the sky in attempt to escape its reach. There was a slight tremble in the cockpit, however. The orange mech had grabbed a hold of his legs. Heero felt the gravity pushing down on him mightily. The cockpit shook violently as the Gundam was on its way to crash into the ground. He couldn't tell what was going on outside and what exactly was the giant doing to him, but he grasped the seat of the cockpit. Heero took a deep breath and closed his eyes, trying to remain calm before colliding with the ground.

Then, he felt it. The cockpit shook more immensely than ever. Wing Zero was plummeted into the ground with a tremendous crash. Heero couldn't feel anything all of a sudden after that, and he fainted immediately.

Alright, get up out of there! Place your hands where we can see them!

What seemed only to be a half-hour of rest was probably only a minute, really. Another voice, a little deeper voice from a woman this time, could be heard through the cockpit of his Gundam. It was completely dark in this small space of the cockpit now. He assumed that there were people around him, judging by that echo from the woman he just heard. Heero decided not to attempt to reactivate Wing Zero, if that was the case. He could only picture Wing Zero's helpless position from the outside now.

Against his will, he opened up the cockpit door of his Gundam. He brushed off his shoulders a little bit of a few pains before laying his eyes upon the bright and sunny sky. It gleamed upon his face, but suddenly the light half vanished. Two figures were standing in between him and the bright light of the sun. He ignored them and went straight to climbing out of the cockpit. He was right. He now lay his eyes upon dozens of armed men - wearing identical beige clothing and a red bonnet on their head - each pointing their guns towards him.

"Hands up where we can see 'em!" The same woman's voice shouted through the thin air.

Heero stuck his hands up a little bit behind his head. He then turned towards the source of the voice. Heero then found a tall woman with dark, purple hair, holding a thin and slender figure, and wearing a black skirt and a tight red jacket. She appeared to be the boss of all of these men, so he did best not to hesitate to follow her orders. He remained perfectly calm, not showing a sign of fear or stress.

What caught Heero's attention most was the one standing next to her! Duo was standing there, handcuffed and looking down in a gloomy way. He was covered in a few injuries from head to toe, supposedly from the frequent tremor within his Gundam. He stepped out of his Gundam completely to get a closer look at Duo, whom was dwindling in his own misery.

One of the men behind him clasped his wrist. Heero tried to resist, but remembered that they were armed. He felt the clank of the metal handcuffs cling to both his wrists. The other soldier gripped his cuffs from behind, and forced him off of the mobile suit.

He slanted his head down, too, like Duo. The two boys were standing side by side now, moving forward with force from the guards behind them. Duo tilted his head towards Heero a little bit, not appearing to be too bitter at this time.

"Hey buddy. We made it out alright. Could've been worse, don't ya think?" Duo whispered optimistically.

"Can it, you." The woman scolded him. Duo pretended to ignore her and this time straightened his posture.

"Talk to me later, got it?" Duo murmured.

The boys both noticed a truck ahead of them with its back doors wide open. It was definitely a vehicle specifically for transferring criminals, and they were about to board it. The walk up there was oddly silent, however. Almost every person in this environment made no noise, not even the soldiers with their deadly weapons.

Heero was the first to be loaded onto this truck. He calmly walked up the ramp, without any thrust by the surrounding guards. Duo seemed more like a challenge to get inside. Duo resisted laying a single footstep on the ramp, but the guards had finally overpowered him and were able to thrust him inside. The woman followed, with her every footstep seemingly breaking the utter silence.

Heero took one more look outside, moving his eyes at his Gundam's direction. He just remembered that Zero had not told him anything[10] since the moment he arrived in this 'new' Earth. He noticed that the men were strapping cords to the Gundam, along with cranes rolling in to supposedly take away his mobile suit. He could only watch angrily as they were about to take it away. However, the door of the back of the truck slowly came to a complete shut, and the woman stared down at both of them sharply.

"Welcome to Tokyo-3, boys[11]." The woman declared.

[1] Heero Yuy is the main protagonist of New Mobile Report Gundam Wing. He is classified by his cold-hearted and silent personality and his extraordinary human abilities. He pilots the Wing Gundam and later the Wing Gundam Zero (not an upgrade of Wing Gundam.) Heero, contrary to his demeanor, is actually a warm-hearted boy willing to end war at all costs.

[2] Duo Maxwell is one of the five protagonists of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing. The laid back and fun-loving hero of the group. He pilots the Gundam Deathscythe, eventually upgraded into Deathscythe Hell, and appears to have a strong friendship with his own mobile suit, like most of the other Gundam pilots. He is often depicted to be carefree and optimistic, even in some of the most intense of situations.

[3] A Gundam is the symbolic machine of New Mobile Report Gundam Wing and the Gundam universe. It is defined as some of Earth's most powerful mobile suits, along with giant weapons of destruction. Throughout Gundam Wing, there are five (eventually six) Gundams piloted by five teenage boys.

[4] Wing Gundam Zero (XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero) (commonly referred to as "Wing Zero", or "Zero" by the characters) is the main mobile suit[4a] used by Heero Yuy throughout Mobile Suit Gundam Wing. Manufactured by Quatre Raberba Winner, it is considered the ancestor of the original five Gundams, arguably the most powerful Mobile Suit of the show, and the symbol of the entire anime. In Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz, it is classified for its heavy firepower from its signature weapon, the Twin Buster Rifle, the ZERO System, and its magnificent wings of flight. (The design from Endless Waltz is the version of this Gundam present in this story.)

[4a] A mobile suit is a mecha from the popular anime franchise, Mobile Suit Gundam. From 1979 up until the present day, mobile suits have taken on various forms and evolutions. It is the term to describe the machines of war used throughout the Gundam multiverse.

[5] Gundam Deathscythe Hell (XXXG-01D2 Gundam Deathscythe Hell) is the main mobile suit used by Duo Maxwell. Manufactured by the Gundam engineers (particularly Professor G) this mobile suit is the stealthy and cunning partner of Duo. The unit is classified by its signature weapon, the beam scissors, and its active cloak mechanism allowing it to move stealthily and unseen. (The design from Endless Waltz is the version of this Gundam present in this story.)

[6] Machine cannons are one of the armaments of Wing Gundam Zero. The Gundam holds a pair of 4-barrell gatling guns within the clavicle section of the mobile suit. This form of ranged weaponry is much weaker than its main weapon, the Twin Buster Rifle, but has proven to be rather useful throughout the series and can deal significant amounts of damage. They are much stronger than the typical vulcans[6a].

[6a] Vulcan guns are a standard bullet weapon by most mobile suits throughout the Gundam multiverse. Usually mounted in the head or shoulders, they fire the most basic of ballistics in combat. They are perhaps one of the weakest armaments of typical mobile suits, but nevertheless are used by most Gundams, including Deathscythe Hell.

[7] Beam scissors (sometimes referred two as Beam Scythe) is the main armament of Gundam Deathscythe Hell. It takes the form of an enormous energy scythe-like weapon, stored in the backskirt of the Gundam, and is drawn to defeat waves of enemies at close-range. It should be noted that in the TV version of Deathscythe Hell, there are two energy blades emitted, while the Endless Waltz version of the unit features only one.

[8] A beam saber is a common weapon used by many mobile suits throughout the Gundam multiverse. It bears strong resemblance to the lightsabers of Star Wars. A large array of mobile suits, including Wing Gundam Zero, wield beam sabers for close-range combat.

[9] The 'God of Death' (the 'Shinigami' in the Japanese dub) is the common nickname that Duo Maxwell refers to himself as.

[10] As seen in many instances throughout New Mobile Report Gundam Wing, the ZERO System has provided its pilot, particularly Heero, of many possible outcomes of the future. It's main purpose is to provide combat data and possible outcomes for battle. While Heero is one of the very few who've mastered the system, the Gundam had provided its pilot with possible visions of his future, including paths to follow.

[11] Tokyo-3 is the city where the events of Neon Genesis Evangelion occur. The city, as a whole, serves as a gigantic fortress against a race known as the Angels. It lies right above NERV Headquarters which is roughly 1,000 meters below ground level. The reasoning behind Tokyo-3 holding the number '3' is due to the fact there were two cities of Tokyo lying in the same area before, both facing destruction which eventually led to the creation of Tokyo-3.
