standard legal drivel here)
Notes: I
suck at the GW timeline and, in my opinion, Endless Waltz was lame (except the
animation ;) ). In any case here are a couple of things you need to know.
· This story was influenced by a number
of sci-fi-ish anime
· The year is A.C. 198
· The scientists (J,S,O, whoever) are
dead ( I DON'T like them)
· The G-boys are all somewhere between
about 17-20 and are high ranking officials in the Preventer Army
· Releena is dead, well dies very early
(I sincerely hate her; Releena fans beware)
· Sally, Une, Hilde, and Dorothy are
all Preventers; Noin vanished not long after Zech died (Noin fans give
dirty looks She plays a major role in the story, don't worry!)
· The Preventer base and main computer
is called SapphireBeta

Chapter 1:
Violet Eyes
Duo sat half awake staring into his
coffee. He was wasted; he'd spent all night staring at the screen of his
laptop. His usually lovely violet eyes were blood shot with bags to complement.
"No amount of tree have, do or ever
will exist to print this!" he murmured, head on the table.
"Good morning-um, Duo?" WuFei
entered the commons. The Chinese Colonel was taken aback by the mass of
chestnut hair spilling onto the table.
"Who the hell else has this much
brown hair?" he snapped. "I unravel my hair at night."
"Err, Hilde wanted me to give you
this. It's a data disk on our latest lil' OZ wannabe's." he tossed him a CD.
"THIS JOB FUCKING SUCKS!!!"
"Yes, do say it not spray it Colonel
Maxwell." WuFei wiped his face.
"Up yours Colonel Chang."
"Act your ranks you two." Heero sat
on the couch in the commons watching Releena's-rather vice minister Dorlen's
speech. Pacifism, evils of war, etc….
ZING!
" And I
personally believe that- " silence. The Vice Minister was still smiling as her
head slipped cleanly from her shoulders…
"Releena, how could someone do that
to you?! You were only 18!" Hilde shuddered.
Hilde, it's okay to cry. Miss
Releena dedicated her life to maintaining peace- we fools know no better. We
will avenge her." Dorothy hugged the sobbing Data Analyst.
"Oh, Noin. You knew her best…where
are you? Is your heart too filled with suffocating sorrow?" Une stared at her
reflection in the window to space. She dried her eyes. "How are things
progressing?"
"The Gundams are 93% overall complete.
Zero system functioning at maximum capacity in as 5 suits.
05, Shenlong. Zero system upgrade.
Beam lance powered up. Tail laser and dragon arms functional. Balancing system
adjustments needed.
04, Sandrock. Blasters and missile
launchers AOK, Zero upgrade. Thermal machetes operational. Minor left leg
adjustments needed.
03, Heavy Arms. Zero upgrade, rifles
check, missile launchers 74% functional. Counter balance for left arm not set
per Colonel Barton's orders.
02, Deathscythe. Beam scissor operational. Shield experiencing technical difficulties.
Zero upgrade. On board systems only 11% active.
Wing 0, no upgrade required. Twin
beam cannon reconstruction 90% complete. Fighter jet mode innate. All other
systems are a go." Hilde read.
"Good, carry on."
"Ma'am!" the two saluted.
"This report is useless. File it
under homicide." Colonel Chang sighed.
"Homicide sir? Is that really our
jurisdiction?"
"It is inevitable now, but solving
this may bring the coming war to an end sooner." Chang turned his chair back to
him. "Dismissed." Sergeant Hayes saluted and left. " The Peacecraft line has
ended- guess pacifists are extinct."
"Don't forget sir, the death of
Millardo Peacecraft a.k.a Zechs Marquise was never confirmed." WuFei's
secretary reminded him. "After all, that's why Instructor Noin left."
Lucredzia Noin, officially missing
since early A.C. 196. She confided in Une that she was positive Zechs was
alive; she'd received a message from him and left to meet him. That was nearly
2 years ago…
***
//Run, gotta
run!// panic flashed through Lucredzia's mind.
What'll we do? We don't have
weapons, they're gonna catch us! she trembled.
Noin trust me. I have a
plan. Zechs smash a vent grating and helped her into the shaft.
Halt! You are engaging in the
theft of Genesis property. Surrender or be met with extreme force. a
Sentinel droid ordered.
Fuck off Zechs flipped it
off and prepared to climb. The sentinel fired but was not able to prevent
escape.
Zechs, what if they have a
tracker in me? What if they can control me?
Don't
worry, we're going somewhere to take care of just that. he smiled, his hair
waving in the wind as they turned onto a dirt road. He looked at her and the
spectrum of his iris flashed from green to alarm red and back. They're
going to pay for what they did to you Noin.

"Uh…"
"Mornin'."
"Zechs?
Where are we?" Noin sat up on the couch.
"The
apartment of Skylar Farbank, my ID for the past 2 years." He replied. "How do
you feel?"
"Terrible. My head aches."
A few moments of awkward silence
passed before Noin drew herself into a ball and began to speak.
"What are we?"
"An experiment with free will."
"I'm only a doll then? One that can
laugh and cry but was made like any other?"
"Dolls that laugh and cry and
require no strings. We are free."
Duo sat starring into a mirror. He
was curious about something, his eyes, they were violet. Save Hilde and Noin,
he'd never met any one else with them.
"Wu-man, besides me, Hilde and Noin,
you ever met anyone with purple eyes?"
"Mmm? No, strange subject."
"Weird, I can't figure out why. This
is silly, paper work awaits!"
But now two people were perplexed.
Shades of blue, green, brown and even gray were common but never violet…how
odd.

Whatcha
think? Tell me!!!
