Kuronue was working late when he discovered something interesting. It was a hidden file concerning an ever burning fire called Wing. As he read on, he grew suspicious about a line he couldn't read properly.
Sirius took one look at the line and read it clearly.
"The Fire of Wing will only awaken to the power of the Zero Soldier."
With a little help from his uncle, Kuronue went to outside L1 on an nondescript meteor. Looking around, he saw a strange white light hovering in the air. It appeared to be a white flame with blue hints.
Kuronue took out his gun and shot at it, to see the reaction.
The white light expanded with each shot, then he heard the voice.
"Power levels minimal. Require new power source to start up. Low Power Error..."
His eyes went up. So all it needed was power? Walking closer, the flame suddenly shot out towards him. He had no time to react. It struck him and stopped.
"New power source located. Wing Fire acknowledges Zero Soldier. Start up now commencing in five seconds...four...three...two...one. Initiating start up."
Though he was reluctant to admit this, but he later realized that he passed out. When he woke up, he found himself in a familiar (and long since destroyed) cockpit. His hands were around the controls, and the familiarity of starting Wing came over him. He flew through the start up commands, and opened the throttle.
The Wing Gundam had been reborn into Zero Wing.
Duo found the scroll with letters he half recognized from Ancient Runes. He took it to Sirius, who translated a line he hadn't noticed.
"The Fire of Death will awaken to the Scythe God once more."
Duo's eyes widened, then he went to investigate this Scythe God. He found a random location outside America, where a volcano had exploded recently revealing a strange black flame that no one recognized. The flames had guardians that kept everyone away for no apparent reason.
Duo was on the next flight out.
Bringing out the joke gift Sirius and Jamie got him for his birthday two years ago, he drew out the blade within the pole. It was a beautifully crafted goblin-forged scythe, and Duo handled the weapon with ease. It seemed to flow with his very movements, as if he truly were a god of death.
He used the scythe to defeat each guardian, who were magical constructs. Something about them set off his Shinigami side, which slaughtered them mercilessly. He reached the flame before dark fully fell, and set up camp.
It was midnight when he woke with a start. The flame had drawn closer, so he picked up his scythe once more and the blade came out.
The flame came closer, until it was within reach of his weapon. On a whim, he struck at it with the blade...only to be shocked when the flame danced through it and into him!
"Initiating power up sequence. New power detected. Reconfiguring structure to memory data. New form accepted. Starting up in five...four...three...two...one. Start up activated."
Duo woke up in the morning to find himself inside his aibou, his partner. In a state of shock, he pinched himself to make sure it was real.
"OW!"
It was. The very thing that had made him the God of Death, his Gundam, had come back to him.
In way, he felt whole again. Flying through the initiating sequence, he found a new command in the menu. Curious, he hit it. That was when the real shock began.
(You didn't think I would reveal the big secret now, did you?)
Deathscythe Hell had been reborn into Deathscythe Flame.
Gabriel was visiting the country where Remus said he was born when he found the flames. It was pure coincidence that he had shown that strange metal piece to Sirius that had lead to this little treasure hunt. He had figured that since he was coming to this place anyway he'd have a look.
Though the words Sirius had translated bothered him more than a bit.
"The Fire of Arms shall awaken to the passion of the Archangel."
The main reason it bothered him was because his mother apparently had a thing for the arch angels of Christian and Catholic dogma, which is why he had been named Gabriel Angelus Lupin.
It was still better than using the name of a dead man.
Gabriel saw the tiger approach. Not really bothered, since he got along with large cats regularly, he watched it sniff him warily.
Crouching down to eye level with the cat, he held out a hand. It took a sniff of his scent, then laid down, purring. He didn't notice the flames dance along him until it was too late.
"Power source located. Configuring new systems. New form approved, initiating sequence. Start up in five...four...three...two...one. Start up activated."
Gabriel woke up in his Gundam, surprised. The tiger he had met somehow had shrunk to a cub, and was asleep in his lap. Strangely enough, the coloring on it had changed from orange and black to white and red.
He flew through the start up sequence, and saw the new command in the prompt. Knowing he would eventually have to try it out, he punched in the sequence. And was completely taken by surprise with the results!
Heavyarms was now Tigerarms.
Quatre was visiting his old desert friends after finding that odd letter in his in box a week earlier. Sirius had taken a look at the bottom and translated something Quatre didn't notice upon first glance.
"The Fire of Rock shall come back through the loyalty of the Desert Tribe."
Rashid was more than a little surprise to hear from Quatre, but when the boy mentioned a strange fire like substance, he mentioned such an occurance outside a little used oasis. Mainly due to the creatures that attacked anyone who came near it.
Interest piqued, he took a few of his friends to the place. His Space Heart kicked in, and he felt strangely at home. Approaching the flames, unconcerned, he didn't notice the Magnuacs go with him, keeping the creatures at bay. He held out his hand, and the gold-teal flames danced along his arms.
"Power source confirmed. Reading memory data...new form accepted. Creating new form...initiating start up in five...four...three...two...one. Start up, activated."
Quatre woke up in his friend...which had been long since destroyed. He could hear Rashid and the others waking up in alarm. Quatre carefully went through the sequence to activate the Gundam...and hit a new command by mistake. They were all surprised when the Gundam started to change forms!
Sandrock was now Sandrock Heart.
Wu Fei was visiting the ruins of L5 when he saw the blue green fires. Getting out of the pilot's seat, he flashed back to the inscription he found on the vase that only Sirius could read.
"The Fire of Shen shall return to the voice of Nataku."
The very words struck a concern with Wu Fei. Draco had mentioned seeing strange colored lights in the general area of where L5 used to be in the night sky. That was all it took for him to book a one man craft with help from Quatre.
Getting out into his space suit, he floated towards the flames. Something about the way the twin fires burned clicked within him.
"Meiran..."
The flames jolted, then struck him.
Wu Fei woke up in Shen Long...which had been destroyed with the others. In shock, he noticed that there was a new weapon on it, as well as a new command. He started it up, and decided to wait until he was back on Earth to try the command. The weapon turned out to be an energy Katana, which was highly unusual.
Shen Long had been brought back as Shen Long Hope.
"Preventers report! What was that magical surge last week?" said Une.
Everything with even a hint of magic had felt the five waves earlier that week. Each of the Gundam Pilots was now sporting a strange necklace, each a different color. Gabriel even showed up with a tiger cub with bizarre colorings.
Each wave felt different.
The first wave felt like a tempest...and the eye of a Hurricane at the same time. Gentle and fierce. It was Air at it's purest touch.
The second was an inferno of Fire. Fierce and wild, yet uncontained.
The third was distinctly wolf-like in nature. Primal at its core, it was swayed by the lunar cycle.
The fourth was Water, calm and unmoving at first, then a raging monster when unleashed.
The fifth and final was Earth. Calm and peaceful, yet at the same time powerful under the surface, waiting to strike.
Somehow Une knew the Gundam pilots were to blame.
"We have a lead on the kidnapping case. The suspect is Albus Dumbledore, former headmaster of Hogwarts."
"How accurate is this information?"
"Emerald confirmed the man was in the room. We had several Aurors double check the results, and they agree."
"Put the alert out for him. He is to be confined without any magical artifacts until we locate the children."
