A/N: Alright, this story is an AU. Lockon Stratos never dies. Allelujah and Soma never get together and she has supposedly vanished. And the rest you'll find out.

Pairings: Setsuna/Graham - Tieria/Lockon.

Warning: This is yaoi. I've also taken the time to update this and deal with the grammar, spelling, and wording issues I can.

Disclaimer: If I owned it, it would have obviously taken a whole different turn! Don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure that out. :P

Now, enough of my gabbering on and on and...Yeah.

"Graham! You have to come with me now!" Billy called out, grabbing hold of a white gloved hand.

"Billy! What in this world is so important for me to see?" Graham asked, when it was interfering with his daily training something was wrong. "Celestial Being has been captured!" Billy declares, at first Graham stared at him in disbelief before responding "Is that so? Well, in the mean time. I get to finally see the identity of the Gundam." Finally, the identity of his rival will be released.

Walking into the room, several soldiers stood, their weapons at the ready. Meanwhile, standing in the middle of the room, with their wrists shackled behind them were four young men. Graham's eyes widened, "Billy, none of them could be over 20!" he hissed quietly, but Billy was already going up to talk to them.

"You," Billy hesitated, "are the pilots of the Gundam?" Billy asked with clenched fists. Not one of them responded; Graham sized them up before proudly striding towards them. "It's rude to not answer when -" Graham cut himself off as he noticed the tan young man. "You...You were that boy I met in the desert country!" Graham accused. How did you get past me?" he demanded advancing on the boy and glaring. Setsuna just stared at him. 'his eyes look almost dead.' Graham thought frowning.

Billy blinked, "You've met him?" he asked and then his eyebrows furrowed, "Yeah, we met awhile ago..." Graham didn't dare remove his gaze this time.

"Well then, I'll trust you. But if you defy me- I will not be as forgiving." Professor, Ralph Eifman spoke while entering the room. Everyone looked over, and it was time for Billy's eyes to grow tremendously large, "..Le-leesa!" he gaped in awe as he saw the red-headed woman walk out.
"Billy? Nice to see you again, I'm sorry they're under such..dire standards." she smiled directly at Billy, but moved over to her boys. She looked at Tieria, and Graham he wondered what sort of relationship those two shared. "We're going to destroy Plotomy and the Gundams." she stated to them as she unlocked all of them from their shackles.
"Professor! You can't be serious about letting them go!" Graham jerked towards the professor, face set in shock.

"Leesa..Why?" Billy asked her, sadness practically choking him. She turned towards him "Sorry, Billy." she smiled sadly at him. "Lockon, Setsuna, Tieria and Allelujah, it's time for you to introduce yourselves. It's only polite." she smiled at them and putting a hand on her hip and eyes narrowing. "Of course, Sumeragi!" they saluted.

The guards weren't prepared for the onslaught to follow.

"Sorry 'bout this buddy!" Lockon grinned, knocking out the two guards at entrance of the Ptolemy.
"Leesa! Don't you dare! I told you what I'd do if you defied me!" Ralph cried out in anger, "Sorry old man! But I have my crew to look after." she paused as the ship started up, "You missed two vital members of our crew! I'm not the pilot boys! Though I suppose I could be!" she laughed in a happy-go-lucky tone before ducking inside.
Graham growled and looked at Billy who was clouded with anger and confusion. Looking at each other for just a moment, before the made a mad dash, nearing the door right before it began to close. It was by a stroke of luck they manage inside, however, they did not anticipate how quickly the ship could retreat from their position. By the time they got to the control room, Ptolemy was already making for space and they were surrounded by the enemy.

"Leesa! Don't-" Billy choked as a gun suddenly stared him down. "Sorry! But Sumeragi-san is busy, if you don't shut up and let her do her job, none of us will get out of here alive." Lockon said and Billy shut his mouth, Graham growled, "Land immediately!" He demanded, only to be punched. Hard. "The- YOU!" Graham glared at Setsuna, and Setsuna stared back. This again. "Setsuna! That's enough! Bond with your rival later, for now, you and Allelujah are to go out and defend the ship. Lockon and Tieria I want you here just in case!" Sumeragi distributed her orders.

"Understood!" Resounded off the walls and all four meisters proceeded to follow orders.

It didn't take long for them to disperse their enemies, and once the ship was safely in space, the cloaking field activated. "Wonderful as usual." Sumeragi smiled, "I can't say I agree." Setsuna scoffed, "I do not see the use of luring these two into our midst if not to permanently eliminate them." Setsuna said offhandedly. "Vedas' orders." Sumeragi stated as if that were the answer to life, "He has yet to give a reason I know of, Tieria?" All eyes landed on the purple meister. "No, he has said nothing as of yet." he stated.

"Wait...we're here because you planned it!" Billy spoke and then seemed to paralyze before them. "Yes. Strange, I know, but our identities being revealed was all a part of the plan. As dangerous as that now makes our mission." Sumeragi sighed.

Billy frowned, "Leesa, I don't understand..." he said softly, "No, I don't expect you to, Billy." she stated. "Sumeragi,"
"Yes?"
"Are you sure this won't be to personal for you. It's quite obvious you two have a past of some sort, and I believe this could cause interferance if you're not.." Tieria stopped as Sumeragi raised a hand.
"Tieria, enough. You shouldn't worry about that."
"I believe I should however, it is of the utmost importance that our plans go without a hitch. And you are a little more em-" Tieria was cut off by Sumeragi's death glare.
"Go and do something besides interrogating me." she huffed in annoyance.
"Ah! How cute, Tieria pouts!" Lockon teased before chuckling, Tieria stopped and glared at him. "What? It's the truth! It's so cute to see your emot-AH!" Lockon cried out with a nervous look as he dodged two fists; covering his head with his hands. "Not cute! Not cute!" he cried in defeat.
"Boy's! Not in here!" Sumeragi demanded like a mother.

Billy and Graham looked at each other. "You're still all children, fighting among each other while your enemy observes." Graham scoffed, raising an eyebrow. Sumeragi chuckled, "Well, that's just their style. Don't let their appearances fool you, these are truly my Gundam Meisters, despite their age." she stated, "Yeah, or they're anti-social levels!" Lockon commented stupidly, two feet connected harshly with his gut. "I can't believe you two are working together! You should sync like this on the battle field!" Sumeragi cooed earning twin glares from Setsuna and Tieria. "Never!" was the unified response. Then started on their own separate ways, one mentally going through calculations, the other leaning against a wall.

And then it seemed like their were crickets in the room.

"I had no idea our enemy was so immature." Graham snickered. He was having a hard time not laughing, he knew it wouldn't be right, but there is no chance of escape. If they were indeed as good of fighters as Setsuna, then these four were all at his level, so might as well take the opportunity to learn about his enemy. Perhaps he'll find their weaknesses. "Either way, Sumeragi, until we know we can trust them. Someones going to have to watch them." Tieria stated,
"I realize that. Billy, Vedas declared would be free to wander except into certain areas. Such as the docking areas. While Graham," Sumeragi hummed, "I think I'm going to have..." she glanced around and smiled widely, "Setsuna will host him!" Setsuna looked at her, his eyes widened for a mere moment before a glare was turned on her, "Hell no." he stated. "I am not playing babysitter!" Setsuna growled,
"But I'm not asking! I'm ordering!" she stuck her tongue out before bursting into laughter, Setsuna twitched before huffing in defeat.

"It's settled, get-" she paused and hit her open palm with her fist, "I'm sorry! I didn't introduce us." she chuckled, "Billy knows me as Leesa, but around her I'm more likely to respond to Sumeragi. The purple-haired genius over there is little Tieria, be careful with him. We're still working on our temper." she grinned as said genius glared and shook his head in disgust at such childish behavior.
"Over there, probably our most normal male member here is Allelujah...Well...As normal as my crew gets." Sumeragi laughed. "He's a sweetheart and will help you if there is anything he can do. Beside him, is Lockon; he's a goof, but he's a good person to go to if you need to talk." she smiled. "Over there, our two lovely pilots, Christineand beside her is Feldt. Finally, we have our baby, Setsuna!" she hugged the irritated Krugian. "He may be as anti-social as they come- but he's an excellent fighter. And...a good...listener?" she tried to come up with something. The four meisters looked at each other and one started to laugh out right, another tried to hold it in, while the other two stared on unamused at her pathetic descriptions. Sumeragi chuckled, "Well, it seems I'm not as good with words as I thought." she shrugged with a small laugh.

Graham looked at Billy and then back at the group, to think these two were once teammates..."Well, I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm Graham Aker, a pleasure to make your acquaintance." he said and bowed softly, "Well aren't you a gentle-man." she chuckled, "Feldt, could you please get Graham settled in Setsuna's room and Billy in the guest room?" she asked with a smile.

"Sumeragi..." Sumeragi turned towards Setsuna and suddenly felt a little nervous at the glare that was trying to eat her soul. "S-setsuna, chill. It's for the best, these are your orders! Atleast try to be civil!" she pouted, "Civil?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "What she means, Setsuna, is she would like you to try and submit to the rest of the worlds definition of civil." Lockon translated. Afterall, Setsuna's 'civil' was to completely ignore the source of his annoyance.

"Setsuna, show your new roomate to your room." Sumeragi smiled, before grabbing a bottle of alcohol and taking a drink. "...Fine." he scowled, turning towards Graham, who was not looking at all happy about the arrangements either. "This way." was all he said before he began towards his room, Graham huffed and followed after the younger man before him and walked into the room.

It was plain, only with another bed. It was still a very spacious room, he wasn't sure whether to be surprised or saddened by the lack of personality. He sat down on the bed and took in the atmosphere, they sat there in silence, for quite a long time before he couldn't handle it anymore. "Why?" Graham asked arbitrarily. Setsuna didn't spare him a glance, but receiving no protest, he proceeded further. "Why are you fighting this foolish war, and at such a young age?" Graham asked. Setsuna finally looked at Graham, and rolled his eyes. "I have my reasons. And you aren't too much older then I am." he wasn't asking. He was stating, and Graham was not appreciating that tone of voice.

But, he knew he couldn't force the younger one to tell him why, so he settled for a different question. "Then, why here? Why not with the Goverment?" he asked, despite his age, Setsuna would be an invaluable partner to have on the field. If circumstances were different, Graham would stop at nothing to be partnered with this beautiful young man.
"None of your business." was Setsuna's passive response. The boy looked at the time and decided it'd be a good time to train apparently, maybe this was actually Setsuna's routine instead of a way to shut Graham up.
"Why won't you act like a normal kid?" Graham asked crossing his arms, receiving no reply again, he continues. "Setsuna was it? You could have an amazing life if you gave up this life in space and joined the gover-"
"No way in hell." Setsuna didn't even consider Grahams offer! Ignoring it was then. Good to know.

"It's rude to not even pretend to consider it." Graham glared,
"It's rude to interrogate someone who is trying to ignore you." Setsuna spat back. Graham opened his mouth and gaped like a fish, "Y-you!" Graham had little left to say. "Setsuna! You're being rude!" Lockon said as he basically invited himself in, "I'm supposed to give these to you. By the way, have you seen Tieria anywhere?" he asked. Setsuna stared at him with a look and Lockon chuckled, "Guess not. I'll leave these here Graham. Welcome aboard!" Lockon mockingly saluted. He set a bag of clothes down beside Grahams bed and ran before he got killed.
