I gasped and took a step back.
"Don't move. Say a word and we'll shoot." One said.
I gulped and bit my lip.
Cloud growled as he walked in front of me, and his fur went on end.
"Cloud, stop it." I whispered.
They slowly walked to me, but I wasn't giving up that fast. I smirked mentally and jumped at him. I kicked him in the stomach and knocked him down.
The others put up their guns and started to shoot. 'Idiots.' I thought to myself as I rolled to the ground and jumped up in front of them. I kicked one and punched the other.
"Imbecile!" I screamed, and knocked them both out.
"MINAKO!" Someone screamed.
I turned to see the boys and the Senshi running to me. "I'm fine." I said as I stepped over the two fallen men and to Cloud.
"What happened?" Quatre asked quietly.
"They attacked. I retaliated. That's all." I shrugged.
They just stared at me and Quatre said, "Alright, if that's all."
I nodded and said as I walked past them, "That's all."
A few weeks later, Heero came up to me and said, "Treize has a new secret agent. Supposedly the best. We need to prepare for this guy."
I nodded and stood up. I went to my room with Cloud walking behind me and changed into a pair of baggy black jeans and an orange halter top. I spun my two guns where the trigger was in circles and stopped to hold them right. "Ready." I smirked.
He nodded and turned to the door.
As we walked to his Gundam, Duo ran up to us.
"Where are you going?" He asked quickly, panting.
"Mission." Heero said as he got into his Gundam, and put his hand out for me.
I put my hand in his and he pulled me up.
When we were in space and close to the space ship Libra, out came about twenty mobile suits.
"Let it go." I whispered him.
He nodded and pressed a black button on the control panel.
I grabbed a helmet and pulled it on. "Ok, I'm ready." I nodded.
He took a deep breath, held it as he opened the door that let me out into space, and quickly shut it. He let his breath back out and watched as I floated in space.
The button he had pressed had released another mobile suit, my own Gundam.
We both had been working on it for weeks, probably a month. The small mobile suit, once compact into a few meters length, shot up into a suit like Heero's, but it resembled Deathscythe more then it did Wing Zero.
It had metal wings that looked torn and tattered, but they worked perfectly. Its color was black and gold; I guess you could call it Deathscythe's twin, or sister. But it had the ability of all the Gundam's put together. It had Nataku's arm that shot out, the ammo of Heavyarms, the two glowing 'scythe's' of Sandrock, the wings, camouflage, and scythe of Deathscythe Hell, and the laser sword of Wing Zero. It was a lot to carry, but light enough not to kill my muscles when I used them.
I jumped into the cockpit of Serpent and closed it behind me. I took the helmet off and connected to Heero's communication.
"All set." I said as I typed on the control panel to wake up the snake.
Heero nodded and took off the get rid of the suits.
I followed but swerved to go for Libra.
"Get her!" One of the men in the mobile suit's yelled.
"You have to get inside, find Treize and more then likely you'll find the agent. Kill them, both of them." Heero said.
My smile faded and I whispered, "Mission: accepted." I twisted it around and dodged the mobile suits in front of Libra and landed in one of its landing pads. I jumped out as I secured it and started to run down one of the halls, holding two small handguns with silencers. I hid myself against a wall with a dent in it as soldiers ran by, then jumped out and started running again. When I found the control room, I typed in a password, and it shot open. I stood at the door as it closed and I locked it behind me.
Everyone in the room, about six, turned to look at me.
I lifted my head and smirked.
"Who are you?!" The girl next to a tall man shrieked.
"The name…"
"Don't you dare tell them that." Came Heero's voice.
My eyes widened and I looked around with my eyes. I soon remembered the small headphone he had given me, and that it was still around my ear. I gulped and said, "Is of no concern of yours. You must be Treize?"
The tall man next to the girl nodded.
"Whose that? Your daughter?" I sneered.
The girl growled and said, "It just so happens I am his top secret agent!"
I lifted an eyebrow from under my sunglasses and said, "That so? Well I couldn't care less! It was nice meeting you, before I killed you. I usually never make acquaintances before killing victims."
She only smirked. "Well, this is gonna be your last." She pulled out her guns, but mine were put before hers were pointed at me.
"Wrong move, magelet." I smirked.
"What did you call me?" She sneered.
"Actually, I consider that quite a compliment. It's mean little mage." I said, and put the gun barrels in front of my eyes to point the gun at Treize and the girl. "Two bad I have to kill you, we would have been good friends." I pulled the trigger, and off went to gunshots.
But I was the only one to hear them because they were silenced.
Treize only grunted as he fell back, I had hit him in the shoulder.
The girl screamed as she tumbled back, I hit her just below the shoulder and to the left, close to her collarbone.
Lucky for her I didn't shoot her there.
"Get out of there, Mina!" Heero yelled in my ear.
"But I didn't kill her!" I complained.
"Oh well! Beat it, they have reinforcements coming!" He snapped back.
I growled and said as I slowly backed out of the room, "We will meet again, magelet." I turned in a circle and turned high tale out of there.
"Mina! Where are you?!" Heero yelled.
"Coming." I said as I jumped in the cockpit of my Gundam Serpent and turned it on. But when it started to walk out of the hanger, another suit met me.
It was the size of mine, but blood red. I growled and brought of my laser sword. "No time to fool around!" I yelled as I jumped at it, but it dodged and the fist punched my Gundam in the stomach. I cursed as I saw static coming into the control panel.
"Minako! What's going on?!" Heero yelled.
I saw his Gundam flying into the hanger in front of me, and it landed on its feet. "Heero!" I screamed when another red mobile suit attacked him.
"Treize!" Heero gasped quietly.
I turned to the suit I was fighting and brought up my sword. "Payback." I whispered, and lunged at it. I sliced down, and hit its arm.
The suit grabbed mine's arms and pushed me into the wall.
"INCOMING!" Someone screamed, and another Gundam crashed into the red one I was fighting.
I smirked when I saw Duo's cloaked Deathscythe go uncloaked and stood in front of me.
"I thought you might need some help." He smirked as he turned on the screen so I could see his face.
I smiled back and put up my pointer finger and middle finger pressed together.
He smirked and nodded.
Three more suits, I figured Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei, came into the hanger.
"Up we go!" Duo said, and put his Gundam's hands around the neck of the red suit. He lifted it up and smashed it into the wall of Libra.
"Let's beat it!" Quatre said when he saw more suits coming.
"Agreed!" I said, and started to fly Serpent out of the hanger.
"I'll see you again, girl!" I blinked, my eyes widened. That voice…it was the girl from the control room! I growled when I knew it for sure, and was just more hung up on defeating her next time.
The boys followed me to Quatre's place and we all landed.
"Guys! Where were you?!" Usagi yelled as she came running out of Quatre's mansion.
"We had business." Quatre said as he turned to look at me, and smiled.
But I didn't return it.
Trishta turned to me and said, "Mina, can I talk to you?"
I looked up at her and nodded.
She led me away from the others, about 100m from the house.
"What's up?" I asked, putting my hands in my pockets.
Two words were all she needed: "Sailor Galaxia."
My eyes widened and my mouth dropped open. "You're kidding, right?" I asked.
She shook her head.
I had heard a lot about Galaxia, and I mean a lot! I looked around and said, "Well, I guess I'll leave her to your guys." I shrugged.
She shook her head. "Sorry, you're in this just as deep as we are."
I sighed and looked at the ground.
"But, you are kinda getting out of it."
My ears perked up and I looked up at her.
"You have a different mission. OZ is supposedly hiding weapons and mobile suits parts somewhere on earth,"
"Oh ya, real helpful." I muttered.
She glared me, making my shut me mouth.
"In California, Gilroy."
I sighed and put my hands in my pockets. "Back to good 'ole Cali it is, then."
She nodded and said, "You're going on your own. Now, Treize probably sent that girl of his to watch over it, so watch your back."
I slowly nodded and said, "I will."
She smiled and nodded. "Pack today when no one's around. You're leaving tonight, midnight about."
I gulped, knowing I wouldn't get any sleep and said, "Alright. I'll be ready."
Her smile faded as she nodded. "Ok, let's get inside."
When we were inside, I found no one downstairs. I sighed and went to my room. I found Duo laying stomach down on my bed reading one of my comics.
"Duo? What are you doing here?" I asked as I walked in, shutting the door behind me.
He looked up from the comic book and said, "Waiting for you. I…I have a mission, on earth. I'll be gone for a week or so."
I smiled faintly and said, "Coincidence, no? I too have a…" But I cut myself short.
Didn't Trishta want me to keep it a secret? But Duo wouldn't tell anyone.
"Have a what?" He asked as he sat up.
"Don't tell anyone. I have a mission one earth, also."
He smiled and asked, "Where?"
"I can't tell you. Sorry Duo." I whispered.
His smile faded and he shrugged. "Oh well. Well, I guess I'll see you when either I get back, or you do."
I nodded as he walked behind me to the door.
But he never opened it. He turned back to me and put his arms around my neck. "But, we aren't leaving for a while. We can hang till then, right?" He asked.
I turned to him, no smile apparent. I glanced at the clock, eight o'clock. I had to pack. But I figured a little talking would be ok.
He looked down at me, and his smile faded as well. "Mina…something else is bugging you. What is it?" Duo whispered.
I gulped and said, "Nothing."
He turned me around in his arms and looked down into my blue eyes. "I know you have to pack…and I won't stop you…but promise me something."
"What's that?" I asked quietly.
"Never forget who you are." He said, and claimed my lips with his.
I wondered what he had meant, but I never got a chance to ask him. When I opened my eyes, he was gone. I sighed and started to pack. This was going to be a long night…
Around twelve, my eyes popped open. Looking around, I threw off the covers and raced to my closet. I pulled out a pair of major baggy pants and pulled them on. I put on a tight white tank top and tied on my tennis shoes. I put a leather-studded belt in the loops of my pants and put my wallet in my back pocket, and snapped the end of the chain it was connected to on a belt loop. I put my sunglasses on my head and pulled on a backpack.
I took one last look at my door before running out to my balcony. I jumped off the ledge and landed on my feet, quietly. I started to run towards the backfield when I saw a light flash in front of me. Slowing down, I figured it was only Trishta.
I stopped when I saw Trishta smiling at me.
"Ready?" She asked.
I slowly nodded, and before I knew anything, a flash of light consumed me and I wasn't in the fields anymore. I was in my black Corvette at a stoplight. I blinked and looked around. 'Great…just great.' I thought to myself.
The light turned green, so I put down the gas and took off. I turned left and entered into the parking lot of the Gilroy Outlets. I parked the car and took out my cell phone.
Dialing a number, I only got static. "Great, I can't even call Quatre." I muttered as I hung up the phone. I got out of the car and went up to the sidewalk.
There weren't that many people walking around, so I figured maybe it was the weekday or something. I sighed as I pulled my trench coat tighter and slowly walked down the sidewalk in front of the stores.
Suddenly, just as I turned a corner, I saw ten or fifteen soldiers surrounding a girl.
They weren't dressed as Treize's soldier, so they must have been working for Zechs Merquise.
I pulled out my guns and pointed them at the men that had their backs to me.
But the ones that were facing me spotted me and pointed a finger.
"Get her!"
I smirked and started to shoot.
Soon enough, they were all laying on the ground. I blew above the gun holes and put them back in their pouches. "You ok, kid?" I asked her.
She blinked at me and gasped. "It's you! The girl that was going to kill us!"
"Well, it's my magelet." I smirked.
She growled and said, "What are you doing here?"
I shrugged and said, "I donno. Why do you care?"
She blinked and slowly walked up to me. "Do you work for Zechs?"
I shook my head. "I don't work for nobody. Nobody but myself." I nodded to myself in approval.
She giggled and said, "What's your name, anyway?"
I narrowed my eyes and whispered, "Still can't tell ya. I can't trust you."
She gulped and said, "Ya you can. I was, uh, dropped from Treize…"
I blinked and said, "Dropped?"
She nodded slowly.
"Why?"
"I don't know. He just doesn't want a girl to work for him."
I sighed and looked around. "Tell me your name and I'll tell you mine."
She bit her lip and whispered, "Ravenna."
I smiled and put my hand out. "Minako. Friends call me Mina."
She smiled and put her hand out and we shook.
"So what are you doing here?" I asked, putting my hands in my pockets.
She stepped out into the light and said, "I was walking around when suddenly, these men surrounded me."
I lifted an eyebrow and tilted my head back. "You ah, wanna tell me what really happened?" I asked.
She smiled a fake smile, but I didn't go for it. She finally sighed and said, "I'm working for someone else, so Treize and Zechs both wanted me killed, because I was going against both of them."
"So…I guess I'm against you, too?" I asked slowly.
She only looked away. "I don't know."
I shrugged to myself and said to her, "Look, I really need some, well, I need to look different. So Zechs and Treize don't remember me."
She looked up and said, "I know what we can do. Come on."
I smirked and walked up to her.
She continued walking down the sidewalk and went into a store.
I took a deep breath, slide my sunglasses down onto my eyes and went in after her.
She pulled out some clothes and tossed them to me. She picked some clothes out herself and went to pay for them.
Then she took me to the, uh, hairdresser, I guess? She got her once straight, black hair that went just below her shoulders cut to go above her shoulders and had them curl the bottom. When she hopped off the seat with her new look, she picked up some bobby pins and a hair bow and pinned her hair up. She had no more bangs; they were probably pulled back as well. She waved with a smirk as she left and went to change clothes.
I sighed and plopped down in the seat where she once sat. When I came back out, my hair was a lot shorter, it was just below my ears and it had black highlights.
Ravenna smiled at me and said, "Ready?"
I pushed back my black trench coat to reveal I was wearing black, tight mini shorts and a gold tank top, just as tight as the shorts. Around my waist was a belt with two holsters, and down my leg, wrapped around my thighs twice, were two gun holsters, one on each side. (Like Lara Croft)
I nodded with a sly smile and said, "Ready." I buttoned the top button on the trench coat and hopped into my black Corvette.
"Listen, I wanted to tell you something." She said as she fidgeted with her new hairstyle.
I looked sideways at her with only my eyes as I drove the corvette down the freeway and said, "Go ahead. I have something to tell you as well." My left arm was rested on the rolled down window and my other gently gripping the steering wheel.
She gulped and cleared her throat. "My, my, my real name…" As she paused, my eyes narrowed. "Is Natalie. Natalie James."
I looked sideways at her and said, "My secret was yours, then? My name is K- 29. I have many others, but friends called me Mina. I prefer Shawn, though. Boys call me Shauna."
She only blinked and whispered, "K-29?"
I sighed and said, "Long story. But to make it short, I was born to a captured woman of the Gundam makers. They took me at birth and called me K- 29. 'K' meaning 'killer' and '29' because I was the 29th child born to be taken by the makers to help them defeat OZ. But out of the 30 taken, I was one of the 2 chosen."
She blinked and looked down. "I don't have a sad tale like that, but…" She whispered.
"Don't bother." I interrupted her. My eyes were locked on the street and were blank. She sighed and closed her eyes. When I stopped the car and turned it off, we were in front of a huge building.
"Wh…where are we?" Natalie squeaked.
I jumped out of the car without opening the door and said, "I have something to do."
She slowly opened her door and shut it. I went into the building and, without saying anything to the woman at the check in counter, went to the elevator.
Natalie came in next to me and asked, "What floor?"
"Ten." I said, leaning on the back of the elevator.
She pressed the button and asked, "Who are you here to see?"
I narrowed my eyes at the ground and whispered, "Winner."
She blinked and whispered, "What do you want with him?"
I took out my two Klobb's that had been safely tucked away in their holsters and loaded them. "My mission: to get rid of the Gundam pilots." I whispered.
She gasped and said, "You mean Quatre Winner! No, you can't! I won't let you!"
That second the elevator door slide open.
"Don't move. Say a word and we'll shoot." One said.
I gulped and bit my lip.
Cloud growled as he walked in front of me, and his fur went on end.
"Cloud, stop it." I whispered.
They slowly walked to me, but I wasn't giving up that fast. I smirked mentally and jumped at him. I kicked him in the stomach and knocked him down.
The others put up their guns and started to shoot. 'Idiots.' I thought to myself as I rolled to the ground and jumped up in front of them. I kicked one and punched the other.
"Imbecile!" I screamed, and knocked them both out.
"MINAKO!" Someone screamed.
I turned to see the boys and the Senshi running to me. "I'm fine." I said as I stepped over the two fallen men and to Cloud.
"What happened?" Quatre asked quietly.
"They attacked. I retaliated. That's all." I shrugged.
They just stared at me and Quatre said, "Alright, if that's all."
I nodded and said as I walked past them, "That's all."
A few weeks later, Heero came up to me and said, "Treize has a new secret agent. Supposedly the best. We need to prepare for this guy."

"I thought you might need some help." He smirked as he turned on the screen so I could see his face.
I smiled back and put up my pointer finger and middle finger pressed together.
He smirked and nodded.
Three more suits, I figured Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei, came into the hanger.
"Up we go!" Duo said, and put his Gundam's hands around the neck of the red suit. He lifted it up and smashed it into the wall of Libra.
"Let's beat it!" Quatre said when he saw more suits coming.
"Agreed!" I said, and started to fly Serpent out of the hanger.
"I'll see you again, girl!" I blinked, my eyes widened. That voice…it was the girl from the control room! I growled when I knew it for sure, and was just more hung up on defeating her next time.

Suddenly, just as I turned a corner, I saw ten or fifteen soldiers surrounding a girl.
They weren't dressed as Treize's soldier, so they must have been working for Zechs Merquise.
I pulled out my guns and pointed them at the men that had their backs to me.
But the ones that were facing me spotted me and pointed a finger.
"Get her!"
I smirked and started to shoot.
Soon enough, they were all laying on the ground. I blew above the gun holes and put them back in their pouches. "You ok, kid?" I asked her.
She blinked at me and gasped. "It's you! The girl that was going to kill us!"
"Well, it's my magelet." I smirked.
She growled and said, "What are you doing here?"
I shrugged and said, "I donno. Why do you care?"
She blinked and slowly walked up to me. "Do you work for Zechs?"
I shook my head. "I don't work for nobody. Nobody but myself." I nodded to myself in approval.
She giggled and said, "What's your name, anyway?"
I narrowed my eyes and whispered, "Still can't tell ya. I can't trust you."
She gulped and said, "Ya you can. I was, uh, dropped from Treize…"
I blinked and said, "Dropped?"
She nodded slowly.
"Why?"
"I don't know. He just doesn't want a girl to work for him."
I sighed and looked around. "Tell me your name and I'll tell you mine."
She bit her lip and whispered, "Ravenna."
I smiled and put my hand out. "Minako. Friends call me Mina."
She smiled and put her hand out and we shook.
"So what are you doing here?" I asked, putting my hands in my pockets.
She stepped out into the light and said, "I was walking around when suddenly, these men surrounded me."
I lifted an eyebrow and tilted my head back. "You ah, wanna tell me what really happened?" I asked.
She smiled a fake smile, but I didn't go for it. She finally sighed and said, "I'm working for someone else, so Treize and Zechs both wanted me killed, because I was going against both of them."
"So…I guess I'm against you, too?" I asked slowly.
She only looked away. "I don't know."
I shrugged to myself and said to her, "Look, I really need some, well, I need to look different. So Zechs and Treize don't remember me."
She looked up and said, "I know what we can do. Come on."
I smirked and walked up to her.
She continued walking down the sidewalk and went into a store.
I took a deep breath, slide my sunglasses down onto my eyes and went in after her.
She pulled out some clothes and tossed them to me. She picked some clothes out herself and went to pay for them.
Then she took me to the, uh, hairdresser, I guess? She got her once straight, black hair that went just below her shoulders cut to go above her shoulders and had them curl the bottom. When she hopped off the seat with her new look, she picked up some bobby pins and a hair bow and pinned her hair up. She had no more bangs; they were probably pulled back as well. She waved with a smirk as she left and went to change clothes.
I sighed and plopped down in the seat where she once sat. When I came back out, my hair was a lot shorter, it was just below my ears and it had black highlights.
Ravenna smiled at me and said, "Ready?"
I pushed back my black trench coat to reveal I was wearing black, tight mini shorts and a gold tank top, just as tight as the shorts. Around my waist was a belt with two holsters, and down my leg, wrapped around my thighs twice, were two gun holsters, one on each side. (Like Lara Croft)
I nodded with a sly smile and said, "Ready." I buttoned the top button on the trench coat and hopped into my black Corvette.
"Listen, I wanted to tell you something." She said as she fidgeted with her new hairstyle.
I looked sideways at her with only my eyes as I drove the corvette down the freeway and said, "Go ahead. I have something to tell you as well." My left arm was rested on the rolled down window and my other gently gripping the steering wheel.
She gulped and cleared her throat. "My, my, my real name…" As she paused, my eyes narrowed. "Is Natalie. Natalie James."
I looked sideways at her and said, "My secret was yours, then? My name is K- 29. I have many others, but friends called me Mina. I prefer Shawn, though. Boys call me Shauna."
She only blinked and whispered, "K-29?"
I sighed and said, "Long story. But to make it short, I was born to a captured woman of the Gundam makers. They took me at birth and called me K- 29. 'K' meaning 'killer' and '29' because I was the 29th child born to be taken by the makers to help them defeat OZ. But out of the 30 taken, I was one of the 2 chosen."
She blinked and looked down. "I don't have a sad tale like that, but…" She whispered.
"Don't bother." I interrupted her. My eyes were locked on the street and were blank. She sighed and closed her eyes. When I stopped the car and turned it off, we were in front of a huge building.
"Wh…where are we?" Natalie squeaked.
I jumped out of the car without opening the door and said, "I have something to do."
She slowly opened her door and shut it. I went into the building and, without saying anything to the woman at the check in counter, went to the elevator.
Natalie came in next to me and asked, "What floor?"
"Ten." I said, leaning on the back of the elevator.
She pressed the button and asked, "Who are you here to see?"
I narrowed my eyes at the ground and whispered, "Winner."
She blinked and whispered, "What do you want with him?"
I took out my two Klobb's that had been safely tucked away in their holsters and loaded them. "My mission: to get rid of the Gundam pilots." I whispered.
She gasped and said, "You mean Quatre Winner! No, you can't! I won't let you!"
That second the elevator door slide open.
