Disclaimer I do not own Gundam Seed or Gundam Wing or any of the Gundam shows I am using.

Okay folks I want to give you a rundown on where the colonies are the L groups are closest to the earth about a day's travel. The S class group or from now on Side's are closest to the moon and are about three to four days travel from the L. groups and a week from Earth traveling from them. Finally the plants are behind the moon and about one for days travel time from the L groups.

Also I am putting up a vote should Cagalli go to Athrun or stay with Heero?

Chapter 5

The shooting star they saw.

Deep in space we find a civilian shuttle leaving the L1 colony district. It is making its way towards Earth. On board the shuttle are Relean Dorlin and her father the vice foreign minister also with them is one of Relean's childhood friends Cagalli who they picked up at the L1 colony they visited.

Right now Relean and Cagalli are sitting together across from each other near a window discussing how Cagalli ended up on the colony her and her father went to.

Cagalli quickly explained how she had went to Heleopoles for a visit when the colony fell under attack from Z.A.F.T.

Relean hearing that asked if she knew why Z.A.F.T attacked the colony.

Cagalli deciding not to tell her friend of what Ord did decided to tell her that she didn't know. Cagalli then went on to explain how she ended up in the lifepod. She then described the young boy that helped her get to lifepod she also told her that he was probably dead. She then explained how the lifepod was ejected into space and that for almost a day it floated in space until it was picked up by a Serpent tall ship.(I wonder who could be on that ship) she then told Relean that the ship took them to the L1 colony where they ran into her.

Unbeknownst to the girls Relena's father was listening in as Cagalli talked about the boy. As he listened one name popped into his head.

"Kira. I better tell Lord Uzemi."

Relena after hearing that was appalled at how this war was going. First the Earth alliance uses nuclear weapons on a civilian plant then Z.A.F.T attacks a neutral civilian colony. She wondered what would it all come to an end all the needless bloodshed deaths.

She was soon brought out of her thoughts by an announcement.

"Attention passengers we are now approaching the Earth orbit please prepare yourselves for atmospheric reentry we well be entering the atmosphere in one hour."

After the announcement Relena and Cagalli prepared for reentry. After they were finished preparing they began to talk about things that were a little less depressing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elsewhere in space we find Heero and his Gundam which was transformed into fighter mode having left his shuttle almost 5 hours ago. His fighter was currently wearing the special outer skin that Dr. J had prepared for the atmospheric reentry.

At the current pace he was going he would enter the atmosphere in about one hour.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elsewhere in space we find a dark blue shuttle approaching Earth as well. On the shuttle is Zechs who just over three hours ago left the Alexandria.

"Lt. Zechs we are approaching Earth orbit." Said an officer.

"Good when will we arrive at our atmospheric reentry point?" Questioned Zechs.

"In about one hour." Said another officer.

"Good I can't wait to get to Earth."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elsewhere in space at an OZ orbiting space station that was used for monitoring things entering Earth's atmosphere.

"Sir were detecting an unidentified object approach the Earth's atmosphere." Said the station's radar operator to his commanding officer.

"An unidentified object?" Questioned the commanding officer.

"Yes sir."

The commanding officer then walked over to the radar operator and looked at the radar scope.

"Could it be a Z.A.F.T mobile suit reentry pod?" He questioned.

"Negative sir is not a Z.A.F.T reentry pod."

"Could it be a civilian shuttle or something belonging to the Earth alliance?"

"No sir I can't be a civilian shuttle the only civilian shuttle I have is the Royal flush coming from L1 this object has come from the Side 4 colony group. And it's not sending out an Earth alliance signal."

The commanding officer after hearing that began to think about the information he received concerning an operation called operation M. Could this object the part of that operation? He had to have this object checked out.

"Are there any OZ ships in the area?" He questioned.

"Yes sir there is a military shuttle belonging to Lt Zechs approaching the same area where this object is."

"Good contact him and tell him of the situation." Said the commanding officer.

"Yes sir." Said the radar operator. He then contacted Zechs and told him of the situation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zechs after hearing that he is approaching an unidentified shuttle prepared for combat.

About an hour later they were approaching the shuttle which has started to enter the atmosphere. But the shuttle was not alone along with it was a civilian shuttle.

Zechs ordered that they follow the unidentified shuttle through the atmosphere.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heero had just entered the atmosphere behind a civilian shuttle.

"That shuttle will slow me down I better get ready to shoot it down." He said as he prepared to shoot at the civilian shuttle.

But before he could fire his sensor array told him that a military shuttle was approaching from the rear.

Deciding that shooting down the shuttle may not be a good idea now that a military shuttle was there he changed his course he was now entering the atmosphere at a much more steep angle. His new path would avoid the civilian shuttle and hopefully lose the military carrier that was on his rear.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zechs and his shuttle were approaching the object which was approaching a civilian shuttle.

"Lt. Zechs we have the object in site." Said a soldier.

"So that's is it." Replied Zechs.

Another soldier that was also looking at the object said.

"So that is operation meteor."

"Yes. Now he'll have to slow down there is a civilian shuttle ahead." Said Zechs.

"Isn't there a possibility that he would shoot down the shuttle and speed up." Said the first soldier.

"That's highly unlikely he will not shoot it down in front of us. That would blow his cover remember this is supposed to be a secret mission." Replied Zechs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back with Heero.

He had finally noticed the dark blue shuttle that was following him.

"Kuso the alliance has already found me."

He then quickly shifted his course through the atmosphere he was no longer following the wave course. After he shifted positions he flew past the civilian shuttle.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back with a civilian shuttle.

Cagalli and Relean's shuttle had started its atmospheric reentry. After 10 minutes they reached a point were the shuttle's Windows that had been covered up were now uncovered. As they were uncovered both Relean and Cagalli saw an object fly past them.

"An atmospheric reentry capsule?" Questioned Relena looking at the object.

"You think it could be Z.A.F.T?" Replied Cagalli also looking.

Relena's father took a quick look at the object and said.

"Operation Meteor stage2."

Both girls looked at him hoping that he would continue to shed light on the object but only to find that he would not leave both girls to wonder about Operation Meteor.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back with the OZ shuttle.

"Lt. Zechs apparently the object has found us and is now changing course." Said a soldier.

"With its increasing speed it looks like it's trying to break away from us." Said another soldier.

"Is he trying to commit suicide?" Said the first soldier.

"Maybe the only way he thinks to keep this a secret is to destroy all the evidence through the atmosphere." Said the second soldier.

Zechs did not believe that for a moment. As I continue to look at the object he realized that it was not affected by the atmospheric reentry.

"I don't think he is take a look at his aircraft is not been affected by the atmospheric reentry."

"But how could that be no one can survive that kind of heat." Said the first soldier.

"While apparently he can this would also prove that are new enemy is also very technologically advanced. Continue to follow"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back with Heero.

Inside his cockpit Heero pressed several controls that would disengage the outer shell around his mobile suit that was in fighter mode.

Outside the outer skin gave way revealing Wing Gundam in its transformed state. After that was done it's still continued on its course.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back with Zechs.

"Would you take a look at that." Said a soldier.

"Yes that is the little battle seed ready to grow into new battles." Replied Zechs as he looked at the object.

"It moves just like a bird." Said another soldier.

"We have reached flight altitude we can open fire at any moment." Said the first soldier.

"Good let's wake him up with our machine gun." Said the second soldier.

"No no machine gun for him shoot him down." Said Zechs.

Following his orders they opened fire on the object.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back with Heero.

Heero noticing that they opened fire quickly evaded them.

"All escape no problem." He said as he continued his evasive action.

While he was doing he received a signal from Dr. J. telling him that the aircraft that was firing at him was an OZ carrier.

Heero quickly changed his objectives from escape to attack.

"Understood command will return to shoot down OZ shuttle."

He then changed his machines course and flew back at the OZ shuttle.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back on board the OZ shuttle.

"Lt the object has changed its course and is coming straight for us." Said soldier number one.

Zechs hearing this quickly made his way out of his chair and towards the mobile suit bay. As he did so he quickly addressed one of the soldiers.

"Is Leo ready for use?"

"Yes sir. But if you're going after him in a mobile suit then wouldn't the Aires light speed mobile suit be better than the Leo ground battle mobile suit?" Questioned the second soldier.

"My Leo is plenty fast enough. Plus I should meet my opponent with my best effort." said Zechs as he left the cockpit and made his way towards his Leo. Upon arriving at his Leo he quickly bordered it had launched out into the sky. As he was doing that one of the soldiers contacted him.

"Lt. Zechs all send backup as soon as the Aires are ready."

"Roger that. Now where are you" said Zechs as he looked around for his opponent. He soon got a warning signal to indicate where his opponent was.

"What the his is above."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After he spotted him Zechs opened fire with his Leo's bazooka at the object as it passed by him.

The shot quickly exploded near the flying object. Causing some damage.

Inside his Gundam Heero was not pleased as damage reports came in.

"Left drive system malfunctioning. He's good." He said.

Zechs after having opened five was pretty pleased with his job.

"That was far too easy."

As they continued to gaze at the object he opened fire on two Aires joined up with him. As they joined up with him they placed a pair shoot on the Leo which opened up slowing the Leo's dissent. After they did that one of the pilots contacted Zechs.

"Lt. will go after him while you returned with your Leo."

"Good but be careful."

Just as the other two were about to respond Heero transformed in his fighter into a mobile suit. Zechs see that was shocked.

"I transformed into a mobile suit." He said.

"Lt. what type of machine is that?" Said one of the Aires pilots.

"I don't know." Said Zechs all while thinking.

"I thought only the Atlantic Federation , Ord , Z.A.F.T, and OZ had the capability to manufacture mobile suits."

Before he could say anything else the two Aires pilots charged at the mobile suit. As they charged at it they opened fire. All their shots struck the machine in the back that impacts from them caused the machine to spin around for awhile.

Zechs see the attacks and realizing they were not working was impressed.

"That machine is really something."

Back with two Aires they continued their assault on the mobile suit. While they were doing the mobile suit moved it was soon facing them.

One of the pilots seeing this quickly says something.

"It moved."

The other pilot really didn't care if the mobile suit moved.

"Never mind just shoot."

And with that they continued to fire.

Heero inside Wing Gundam decided it was time to retaliate. Taking aim with the buster rifle he opened fire on both Aires. A large column of energy struck both Aires destroying both of them.

After he did that Heero started to laugh before he turned his attention to the Leo all while taking aim at it. He said.

"One more to go"

Zechs seeing what happened to the Aires was somewhat impressed.

"He just two Aires with one shot not too shabby." He said as he decided to charge at the mobile suit as he did that he disconnected his bazooka from his shoulder so he could use his Leo's beam saber. Taking the saber out of its round shield that was on the left side of the Leo he charged forword.

Heero seeing that quickly opened fire only to have the Leo move out of the way and continue towards him. Soon the Leo was in front of his Gundam. As soon as it was in front of his Gundam it quickly latched on and began to restran it.

Zechs after he did that quickly exited the Leo and jumped off into the sky. He then activated his parachute. As he did that he watched as both mobile suits crashed into the ocean 30 miles off the coast of Spain. While he was watching crewmembers from his shuttle contacted him.

"Lt. Zechs are you all right?" said the soldier somewhat worried.

"Yes I'm fine sorry for worrying you." Replied Zechs.

"Sir we also have the report on that mobile suit apparently it's made out of an unknown material." Said the soldier.

"An unknown material that's not good."

"We also have reports that the Atlantic Federation has heard about the mobile suit and are sending out search vessels to the area. There should be a squadron here by tomorrow." Said the same soldier.

"How pathetic there are no rewards for soldier scrambling for recognition." Replied Zechs.

After he said that shuttle snatched him out of the sky and prepare for a rendezvous with an OZ underwater submarine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back up in the depths of space.

We find the Archangel on its way to Earth. It is currently traveling through neutral space. On board the ship we find Murrue , Mu , Kira , and Natarle discussing the battle at the colony they had were a part of a week ago. They are currently in the captain's lounge.

"I still don't get it those Ginns had us until an unknown object destroyed them." Said Murrue.

"Yeah they definitely had us. But what could have destroyed them we detected no unknown object anywhere near the ship." Replied Mu.

"That may not be necessarily so. I've been reviewing the strikes recordings of that battle and I think I recorded a mobile suit helping us." Said Kira showing that the image of the battle with the Wing Gundam somewhat obscured by interference.

"It could be a mobile suit what type of mobile suit has that type of firepower?" Questioned Natarle.

"I don't know but it definitely was a mobile suit." Replied Kira.

"Well what ever it was will keep an eye out for it if it had the firepower to take out two Ginns serious damage to the Archangel." Said Murrue.

After the discussion everyone left except Murrue was still thinking about that unknown object.

"What ever it was a kind of looked like one of the GAT series." She said as she looked at the image of the unknown object.

"But it's certainly a lot strong then any of the Gat series. I know I'll send this information to Noin maybe she could help me." She said as she thought about her old friend from L1 who is now a member of the special forces.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elsewhere on the ship we find Mir writing a letter to her sister.

"Dear Catherine,

I hope this letter finds you in good health? And in high spirits. I wish I could say I was in high spirits. I'm sure that mother and father have told you about what happened. I am currently on an Earth force ship. We are currently heading towards Earth were hopefully I can catch a shuttle to Ord. I hope to see you there when I get there. But enough of this sad talk. How is the circus are you enjoying it? I hope so from your last letter it appears you were anyway.

I must sign off now. Until my next letter.

Love your little sister Miriallia Haw."

She then put away the letter for later.

Wall that was going on up in space certain boys on earth were preparing to attack again.
