A/N: When reviewing, please be kind. This is my first attempt at an epic. Heck, I really don't know what an epic is, only that it doesn't end. I'll try to end this one though. Also, I don't own GW or anything except my OC, Mia. I really had trouble thinking of a title. If any of you readers comes up with one, I would be grateful. Also, the characters might be a little OOC because I'm not positive how these characters act. Please review! And sorry about some misspellings.

Chapter 1
The Duel and The Subject
Mia was training. She was training for the task that she was about to begin. Mia would go into this military base, find the captive, eliminate the head of the base, and somehow get out alive, with the captive. She would be paid handsomely for it, and she definitely needed the money. Mia was a master of Jujitsu, Aikido, Sword fighting, and Knife throwing. She had been a warrior in the recent war. She was a trained assassin, but this mission would be different from her 'seek and destroy' missions. She was up for the challenge.
"Would the fair Princess Mialin care to duel?" asked someone behind her. "It would be better if you didn't train alone." Mia turned, and saw her friend, Peter, behind her. His red hair played up his freckles, and his emerald eyes were smiling.
"Peter, I told you to never call me that! That is between you and me, Ok?" asked Mia. She disliked being called her real name and loathed being called her real status.
"Ok, fine. But will you duel with me? I can't believe I've known a warrior princess for two years and have never asked her to duel! I might be able to teach you something, Mia," said Peter.
"We'll see," Mia muttered under her breath. She hated being prejudged.
"What was that?" asked Peter.
"Ok. Let's duel," replied Mia.
"I'll go easy on you, pretty one." She drew her sword, as Peter drew his.
"Touché," said Peter, as he swung the blade toward her. Mia easily dodged it. She didn't even need to block. Peter swung at her arm, and Mia blocked it. Peter swung, and Mia blocked. Swing, block, swing, block. Mia had never swung at him once, and Peter was already tired. As soon as Mia sensed his weakness, she advanced, and within fifteen seconds, Peter was beat.
"Your pretty damn good, Mia," said Peter. "When we fight again, I will try and be a better opponent."
"My lesson to you is to never underestimate anyone. Even if you've known them for a while, don't underestimate what they can do," stated Mia, as she headed over to her computer. She sat down, and turned it on.
"On this mission, I might be gone longer than usual. That'll give you plenty of time to practice!" Mia said happily. She had wanted a good opponent ever since she was skilled enough to beat up her Sensei (A/N: This is probably spelled wrong, but it means Karate teacher).
"I'm going to get changed. I'll be leaving at midnight tonight, so that gives me 3 hours. See ya in a sec," said Mia. The computer was taking forever to load, so Mia decided to get changed. She walked into her room, and changed into something comfortable. Then she went back to her computer. She would receive an email with the details of her mission at nine-thirty.
"I'll get the message in 10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6," she thought. "5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1..."
"You got mail," bleeped the computer. Mia opened the message.
"Subject: Duo Maxwell," she read aloud. "Hmmmmm...."
