Chapter One
After Colony 196, five young men, known for their amazing ability to pilot Mobile Suits, called Gundams, have ended their missions of protecting both the Earth and Space. For now….
Heero Uey, a 15 year old boy, and the leader of the Gundam pilots, walked down the halls of the space station where the Gundams now stayed most of the time.
"Where is she right now?" Heero thought as he walked. "I seem to be thinking of her a lot lately and I don't know why."
"Heero! Heero!" someone called from behind him.
He turned his head around slightly. Running down the hall toward him was a young, blond haired girl.
"Relena?" said quietly to himself.
"Heero, why have you been avoiding me lately? Every time I talk to you you leave."
Heero turned his head around again and started down the hall.
"Heero! Wait!" Relena called after him.
Heero just kept going. There was no reason to talk. He knew how Relena felt about him. His mind began to wander again.
"Where is she?" he thought. "What could she have been doing all this time if she's still alive?"
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Deep in space, someone sat in the cockpit of a mobile suit.
"It's been so long Heero," they said. "I can hardly remember your voice, but I'm coming to you Heero. I'm coming."
They pressed a small button and a picture of Heedo appeared on their screen.
"Yes Heero, I'm coming."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
In the space station, a siren started going off. Duo Maxwell looked up from the computer screen his eyes had been glued to for the past few hours.
"Finally," he said with a smile, "I can see some action again."
The boy in his priests' attire got up from his chair and ran down the hall toward the main control room.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Katra Rebarbra Winner took his eyes away from the window he was looking out of that showed the whole of space.
"More fighting already?" he said with a frown. "I thought that space would be at peace for a while. I shouldn't have expected that much so soon though."
Katra left the room he had been in and made his way down to the control room.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Chang Woofei and Trowa Barton looked at each other over the rims of the cups that they were drinking out of and nodded. They got up and also went to the control room.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Heero's head snapped up when he heard the siren. He turned around and made his way toward the control room.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"What's happening Major Sally?" Trowa asked when they were all in the control room.
The blond haired women turned towards the pilots.
"It's not good," she said with a frown. "It seems that a new threat to space and Earth has emerged."
"What is it?" Katra asked.
"We don't know," said Lady Un, a former soldier of OZ and the Romepheler Foundation. "But whatever, or whoever it is, they mean business. They've been trying to attack the base for the last hour, and our shields can't take much more."
"Don't worry, we'll take care of it," Heero said.
Major Sally and Lady Un nodded. Then the Gundam pilots turned around, went out the door, and headed toward the Mobile Suit hangers.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The five Gundam pilots gripped the cords that came down from the cockpits of their Gundams and let them selves be pulled up. They each jumped into the cockpit and into the seats there.
"Gundam 05, ready," Woofei said.
"Gundam 04, online," Trowa said.
"Gundam 03, ready," said Katra.
"Gundam 02, ready to kick some Mobile Doll backside," Duo said with a smirk.
"Gundam 01, ready for takeoff," Heero said. "Main thrusters on, and ready to leave hanger."
"Heero, you're cleared to leave the hanger," Major Sally's voice said over Heero's communicator.
The thrusters flared on and the mobile suits left the hanger.
"Be careful, Heero," said Relena, as she watched the pilots suits fly into space.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The Gundams had now made their way out to where the Mobile Dolls, un-manned mobile suits, were.
"Katra, you've got the five on the right. Woofei, the four on the left. Trowa, Duo, you and I split the middle up," Heero said. "Let's move out."
The five Gundam Suits lunged forward, each to their assigned spots. Heero, Trowa, and Duo fired their large Beam Cannons and destroyed their assigned Dolls easily. Woofei's brought out his Beam Sword and destroyed the Dolls easily also. Katra hadn't done anything yet. Heero noticed, and he put a link between his transmission radio and Katra's.
"Come on Katra, we have to get rid of these things," he said.
Katra didn't say anything.
Trowa understood what was going on. Katra didn't really like to fight if he didn't have to, even if it was the enemy. Trowa linked his radio to Katra's also.
"Don't worry Katra," he said, "they're only Dolls. You can't hurt anyone if you destroy them."
"You're right," Katra said. "Move back."
The others piloted their suits away from Katra's. Katra pulled out two curved Beam Sabers and only had to give one slash with each. He let out a sigh of relief.
"Let's not celebrate to soon you guys," Duo said. "They have reinforcements."
The others looked out into the distance. More Mobile Dolls were coming toward them, many more.
"This isn't going to be as easy," Katra said.
"Well, it's not going to be hard," said Duo, thrusting his Gundam forward.
The others followed suit. They destroyed most of them easily, but they had missed a few. Heero's Gundam was turned around, and he didn't notice that another Doll was only a few hundred feet behind him.
"Heero, look out!" Duo shouted into his Radio.
Heero turned his Gundam around just as the Doll shot a large bullet out of its gun. Heedo let out a yell and closed his eyes, ready for the impact of the bullet. The others looked on as the bullet was closing in on the 01 at lightening speed! Suddenly, before their eyes, a large metal hand shot out and grabbed the bullet split seconds before it hit the 01! Each pilot's eyes looked up from the hand, then to the arm, to the head and so on. Their keen eyes recognized the white metal that this suit was made out.
"It's made of Gundanium!" Trowa exclaimed.
"But how can that be?" Woofei said. "It would have to be a Gundam if its made out of Gundanium, and we're the only Gundam pilots. Aren't we?"
"I always that so," said Duo.
The five pilots heard what the mysterious pilot said over their radios.
"Is this bullet yours? Then I guess you'll want it back!" they shouted.
The Gundams arm made a quick movement and the Doll exploded. The pilot had thrown the bullet back at the doll. The other pilots were ready to fight as the other Gundam turned toward them, but instead of attacking them, the pilot took a curved Beam Sword from the back of their Gundam. A boomerang. The suit made a quick movement with the arm, and the other Dolls were gone. The Suits arm caught it as it flew back. They deactivated it, and attached it to the back of their Gundam.
The suit turned back to the others, but ignored everyone except Heero. The others did hear, however, what they said to him, and they did see a shadowed face on their screens.
"It's been a long time Heero," they said.
"Who are you?" Woofei demanded through his Radio.
It seemed that they had just noticed the other Gundams were there.
"A friend," they replied.
"How could it be? Is it really her?" Heero thought.
"Hey, that's a woman's voice," Katra thought. "But, I thought that there weren't anymore Gundams pilots, especially woman."
"Can we trust you whole- heartedly?" Trowa said.
That's what was going through all of their minds, although they knew they probably weren't going to trust this new pilot no matter what they said.
"You should, but you can decide whether you want to or not, it doesn't really matter to me," she replied.
"You can come back with us and then we can decide," Heero said.
The others were surprised. Heero hardly ever trusted anyone, and he was trusting a complete stranger? ! But, the other pilot agreed and they began their way back to the space station. After a few minutes, Duo made sure that the new pilot wasn't listening, and put a transmission through to Heero.
"Hey, Heero, you know who this is?"
Heero didn't answer.
"Fine, do that silence thing again, I'll find out soon enough," Duo said again.
The now six mobile suits had made it into the suit hanger. Trowa, Duo, Woofei, Katra and Heero got down from their cockpits using the cords and waited as the new pilot landed. As the cockpit opened, they saw that it was a female pilot. Instead of grabbing a cord, she simply jumped down and made an easy, soft landing in front of them. They were surprised at this pilot. They weren't so surprised when they saw that it was a girl, but they had expected someone a bit, well. . Older. This girl that stood in front of them was much younger than they were, thirteen at the most, maybe only twelve. She looked surprisingly like Heero, with long, dark brown hair. She had lonely and stern eyes like his, yet, she was smiling, and her eyes sparkled a bit like Duo's did just before a battle. She wore a light pink tank top, jean shorts, brown leather gloves with no fingers with an oval hole on the tops of her palms, sneakers, a small backpack, and a pink ribbon in her long hair.
"You don't have to look so surprised," she said with a smile. "I know I'm a bit young, but I'm still one of you guys."
They were interrupted when the hanger door opened and Relena, Major Sally, and Nown (An Imperial Guard in Reelena's country, the Sank Kingdom) hurried in.
"We saw the whole thing. Who's the pilot of this mobile suit?" said Sally as she looked over the girls suit.
The boys turned their heads towards the girl. Everyone's eyes opened a little wider. How could this rather small girl have piloted this Mobile Suit?
"This suit looks like the Heero's, only a bit smaller," Relena said.
Nown let out a gasp, "Are you a Gundam Pilot?" she said.
The girl nodded.
"Let me introduce myself," she said. "My name is Kari."
Everyone just looked at her, then, Relena stepped up to her
"It's good to meet you Kari. I'm Princess Relena, of the Sank Kingdom," and she held out her hand, which Kari took.
Relena looked at the others. Duo stepped forward.
"My name's Duo. Duo Maxwell."
Kari nodded. Then Katra stepped up.
"My name is Katra Rebabra Winner."
"I'm Trowa Barton."
"Woofei," he said simply.
Duo looked at Heero, but he didn't seem to have any intention of introducing himself.
"Sorry about him over there," Duo said, pointing at Heero behind his back. "He does this silent thing sometimes, so I guess I'll tell ya' who he is. His name is…"
"You don't have to Duo, I know who Heero is," Kari said, interrupting him.
The others looked at Kari, surprise outlined in their faces. Kari didn't seem to notice. She walked past the others and right up to Heero.
"I've missed you a lot Heero," she said.
Heero gave the smallest, almost undetectable nod and then went out the hanger door. Everyone looked at Kari. Her face looked sadder now, older even. Her eyes didn't have any glint in them. They only looked sad, lonely, and stern.
"Uh, Kari, will you be staying?" Relena asked, trying to change the subject.
"Only if I'm welcome Relena," Kari replied quietly, turning back to the others.
"Any help would be welcome with this new enemy causing trouble," said Sally. "I think it's a good idea if you guys don't have any objections."
She turned toward the older Gundam pilots.
"Sounds like a plan to me," Duo said. The others just nodded.
"You can stay in the extra quarters," said Sally. "It's down the hall, left, and third door down."
Kari gave a nod of thanks, "Thank you. I think I'll go down to my quarters now."
She looked at them for a split second with her lonely eyes. They all felt something. Her eyes seemed so familiar, so extremely familiar that it felt like they had seen her eyes for years, and yet, they'd only met Kari ten to fifteen minutes ago. That's when Katra realized, for the first time, who she reminded them of.
"Heero!" he exclaimed.
Everyone looked at him.
"That's who Kari reminded me of. Her eyes look exactly like Heero's, and so does her face and completion."
"They do share a rather distinct resemblance," Relena said, a thoughtful look coming over her face.
"I think we'd better get the whole story out of this kid," said Woofei.
They all agreed and left the hanger together.

In her quarters, a small tear ran down Kari's cheek as she looked at something she held in her hands. She was startled when someone knocked on the metal door.
"Kari, can we come in?"
It was Katra and the others.
"Yes, it's open," she said, her voice almost cracking because she had been crying a little.
The door opened and the boys walked in. Kari put what she was looking at face down on the window seat that she was sitting on.
"Yes?"
They looked at each other.
"Well," said Katra, "you looked upset before and we wanted to know if something was wrong."
"Yeah, you didn't seem too happy after you talked to Heero, and we know by experience that he can be rather irritating, you might say," said Duo.
Kari gave them a weak smile, "No, I'm alright, really. It wasn't anything for you to worry about. Opps!"
She had knocked what she had been looking at earlier off the window seat, and it was facing up. The others recognized it as a picture frame. Katra bent down and picked it up. He looked at the picture inside the glass. In it was two children. One was a young boy, probably about six or seven. He had brown hair and a happy grin. In his arms, he held a little girl who had her arms around his neck. She also had brown hair, but much longer than the boy's, and a she also wore a large smile. They seemed to be very happy just being close to each other.
"Kari, is this little girl you?" he asked her.
Kari nodded, looking at her knees. He looked closer at the little boy that held the younger Kari. His hairstyle looked strangely familiar, and so did his face. He let out a gasp.
"Uh, guys," he said over his shoulder to the others.
They walked over and looked over Katra's shoulder. Their eyes widened when they looked at the boy.
"Kari," said Trowa, "Is this…"
She looked out the window. It seemed like she was looking into a part of space that they couldn't see, even into the past.
"I guess this is as good a time as any," she sighed. "Guys, my full name is Kari Kionee Uey."
"Uey?" said Duo. "Then that means…"
"Yes," she said, turning her face from the window to them. "Heero Uey is my older brother."
