War Returns

Prelude

A single ship floated in space among the asteriods just past the planet Saturn. To any that weren't looking for it , the ship appeared from a distance to be a large shiny asteriod. On the bridge of the ship sceens were flashing a people running from one station to the next. In the center of the bridge sat a single man who was tapping his fingers on the arm of his chair as he watched the commotion. To all he was known as Lt. Daryoon Arislan and he was feared by the crew for his temper. Then he turned his attention to the main screen that showed the relative location of a squad of 30 mobile suits to the Space Colony that was their target. With his eyes still on the screen he said, "What's the squad's status, Johnson?"

The Bridge filled with silence when he spoke. A few seconds passed before he recieved a reply.

"20 minutes until contact with target, Sir," returned Johnson, "And so far there appears to be no unusual activity outside the colony, so I doubt that they have been detected."

Lt.Arislan smiled to himself and thought, 'All is going according to plan and without those Gundams no one can stop us.' Then he turned his attention from the screen and yelled, "Jenson send orders to Squad Leader to proceed with Phase 1 as planned."

"Yes, Sir!" yelled Jenson as turned back to his console and said into his headset, "Squad Leader, Phase 1 is go. Proceed as planned."

"Roger," came a mans voice over the ships com system.

Lt. Arislan smiled to himself again as he turned his attention back to the main screen. After a few minutes his smile changed to a frown when he heard, "Sir!"

Turning his head towards the voice he yelled, "What is Johnson?"

"I've detected an unidentified ship flying towards teh squad at high speed, incredibly high speed, Sir!" answered Johnson.

Before Arislan could reply another voice spoke up and said, "Sir, incoming transmission from Squad Leader."

"Patch it through, Jenson!" he snapped.

"Yes, Sir!" came the reply.

Turning his attention back to the main screen an image of a mobile suit pilot appeared and he yell, "Otto, what the hell is going on out there?"

"We're being attack by a lone shuttle, Sir!" replied Otto.

"Then what's the problem?" Arislan snapped.

"It has wiped out half of my squad!" snapped back Otto.

Arislan was in shock as he looked at Johnson who nodded his head in confirmation of Otto's report. "What has that kind of power?" he asked himself.

"Sir, we have a visual of the attacker," someone yelled.

"Put it up, Jenson!" he yelled.

"Yes, Sir!" came the reply.

The Image of Otto was replaced by one of a single small ship floating a few meters away from the remains of the MS Squad. He looked in horror as it began to change form. 'It's Tranforming into a mobile suit,' he thought. He knew of only two suits that had that capability and both were Gundams. One was Epyon which was destroyed at the end of the Colonial Earth War, and the other was Wing Zero, which was reported destroyed at the end of the Eve Wars. But here it was in right in front of him on the main screen. With his attention still on teh screen watching the enemy suit destroying the rest of the squad, he yelled, "Jenson, order all remaining mobile suits to launch."

"Yes, Sir!" replied Jenson as he turn back to his console and yelled into his headset, "All MS pilots, this is not a drill, launch and destroy enemy suit. I repeat this is not a drill, all MS pilots launch and destroy enemy suit." After a few minutes of him repeating the orders, Jenson yelled, "Sir, incoming transmission from enemy suit."

"Put it through," yelled Arislan.

An image of a pilot dressed in a grey flight suit wearing an equally grey helmet appeared on the screen next to the image of the mysterious mobile suit. Arislan yelled at the screen, "Who are you and where did you get that suit?"

. . .

In a mysterious ship sat a young man dressed in a grey flight suit. He smiled to himself underneath the helmet as the ship and squad of mobile suits he had been watching for two days now made their move against the nearby colony known as Colony L3. Pushing a button on the control panel he started up the thrusters and and the ship moved towards the squad of mobiles suits first at high speed. When they were in firing range he pushed another button and fired several beams at the unaware group. He smiled again when half the group's suits were destroyed. Seeing a red light flashing on the panel he pushed and voices started to fill the cockpit.

"What the hell is going on out there, Otto?!" came an angery voice that the pilot was easily yable to recognize as Arislan an old enemy from the Colonial Earth War.

"We're under attack by a lone shuttle, Sir," replied the voice that belonged to Otto.

"Then then what's the problem?!"

"It has wiped out half of my squad!"

Then he cut off the conversation and pressed a series of buttons. Slowly he could feel the ship begin to change and transform into a mobile suit. After a few minutes he then moved his hand to the right joystick and moved it. He could see the right arm of the his suit rise and point the double beam cannon in it's hand at the remaining suits and he pushed the button on top. A flash of light filled the right side of his view monitor as the cannon fired two beams. Then he smiled as the beam passed through the open space in the middle of teh other suits and destroyed all but one of them. Still smiling he moved his left hand across the panel and pushed the communications button and hailed the ship. As he did this he notice several hundred blips representing mobile suits appear on his radar flying in his direction.

After a few seconds an image of a middle-aged man he recognized as Arislan appeared in the center of screen and yell, "Who are you and where did you get that suit."

Moving his left hand up to his helmet and raised his visor. Giving his usual 'Death Look' as his friends called he answered in a cold voice to the shocked Arislan, "You already know the answer to that question, Arislan."

"Heero Yuy," he heard gasped over the comm. Then after a few seconds he noticed Arislan recovered from shock and yelled, "How do I know your really Heero Yuy?"

He replied in a colder voice then earlier, "You know very well I'm who I claim I am. And let me ask you this, who else besides Milliardo Peacecraft has ever mastered the Zero System?" he paused to let the question sink in and the look of shock appear on Arislans face, then he yelled, "Me!" and took both joysticks in his hands he made Zero's hands split the double beam cannon into two cannons and pointed them at the mobile suits flying towards him and pressed the buttons on top. The whole moniter filled with a flash of light as both cannons fired at the approaching suits. When the flash dissappeared all that remained was 20 suits and they were retreating back to the ship. Taking the two cannons he made the suit combined them into one cannon again and pressed the buttons firing cannon again. After a single large beam fired from the double cannon he moved his right and to the panel and pressed a button that read cloak.

. . .

Back on the bridge Arislan Watched in horror as the suit the pilot claimed to be Wing Zero destroyed all but 20 mobile suits of the 100 that was launched. Then he noticed that the suits weapon was preparing to fire again and this time at his ship. Not taking is eyes off the main screen he yelled, " Sheilds up now!"

A few minutes later a single large beam made contact with the ship's sheilds and ther ewas a blinding flash that filled teh bridge forcing everyone to cover and close their eyes. When Arislan opened his eyes the enemy suit was gone. Turning to Johnson he yelled, "Where's that suit!"

"I don't know sir. It just vanished off our scope just after it fired it's weapon," replied Johnson.

Still angry Arislan yelled, "Status report!"

"Ship heavily damaged, Sir. Fires on decks 7 to 13 and shields at 30% and we've lost communications. We're lucky to be alive , Sir," came the reply.

'Very lucky,' he thought. Then turning to navigation he yelled, "Get us the hell out of here Muller!"

"Yes, Sir!" Muller replied as he turned back to his console and start to punch in coordinates.

A few seconds later Johnson turned and yelled, "Sir, Enemy suit on radar and it's preparing to fire!"

With a look of shock Arislan began to yell, "Raise Shie...." and was cut off as the bridge filled with a flash of light and exploded.

. . .

A few meters away the pilot known as Heero Yuy sat in the cockpit of his suit Wing Zero and watched as the ship exploded. After a few minutes he turned Zero in the opposite direction and said as he left the area, "Mission Accomplished."
