Chapter 11 It Came Home

Victor sat in his darkened room with his back against the wall. "How can this be?" asked Victor to himself as he looked at the photo taken of his friends when they graduated Leilani Hawke….Yuy was standing beside him smiling at the camera. "She knew she knew the entire time that we would end up fighting each other so why did she become our friends?"

"That is simple." said Dimitri as he appeared in the darkened doorway "She used us to learn our weakness in order to use them to defeat us. She was never our friend."

"But she said she was our friend." Said Victor

"And your foolish to believe her?" asked Dimitri "She said that so that in battle we would second guess ourselves giving her the opening needed to kill us."

"I don't believe that." said Victor

"You believe a coordinator spy over a natural comrade?" asked Dimitri

"It's not that, I believe she was trying to learn our weaknesses that is the definition of a spy but I don't she was lying about wanting to be friends when this is over." said Victor

"This will only be over when all her kind is all dead." snapped Dimitri "So sit here and debate over the fact that your girlfriend is a traitor to the human race. I have somewhere I need to be."

With that Dimitri walked out of the room leaving Victor to think.

"Heero what are you doing?" asked Luna as she appeared in the doorway of her husband's/her's home office.

"Something I wish I didn't have to do." said Heero as he turned the computer screen toward his wife showing a map of the other universe.

"Planning to strike them back?" asked Luna as Heero nodded.

"I want to give Cagalli chooses when Relena doesn't come asking for peace." said Heero

"Makes since just try to keep the deaths down." said Luna

"I am but their will be deaths no matter what happens." said Heero as Luna walked around and placed a hand on Heero's shoulder.

"You can't stop a war by yourself Heero." Said Luna

"If only she had dead when Peace Million was destroyed." said Heero

"You can't change that Heero, now turn this off and spend some time with your family." said Luna "Either of us know what this war will bring so we need to spend time with our family."

"Your right Luna." said Heero as he saved the data before standing up.

"Come on, your son is having trouble staring the fire." said Luna as Heero looked out the window to see Tyus trying to start a fire for a bon fire on the warm summer night.

"I'll help him." said Heero as he headed out the door.

Across the hallway Marena looked at the empty room that used to belong Leilani "She cleared it out before showing up at the party." said Marena as she walked up to the cleaned out desk on top of it was Leilani's part of the rent and her key. "I still have to change the locks just in case she made a copy. However if she wanted she could break in."

Marena picked up the money and the key only to find a photo of her and Leilani hanging out. Slowly Marena picked up the photo and just looked at Leilani. "Leilani I do consider you a friend but you are a coordinator and it was coordinators who destroyed a colony and kill people. That makes you my enemy but I wish you were not."

Meanwhile across the street at New Edwards Zechs and Duo sat around a table in the officer's mess. They looked out at the large heavy guarded hanger. "Do you know what is in there Zechs?" asked Duo as he drank some coffee

"No idea, only people they are letting in is Wufei, Dimitri, Aeneas and of course Relena." said Zechs "I would imagine it has to do with Heero's offer of peace."

"Do you think Relena will take their offer?" asked Duo "I mean she has lost some support with the people after all the loses we took."

"No she will not." said Zechs "She still has support of most of the people and even if she didn't she wouldn't stop and Heero knows this."

"Then why offer Peace?" asked Duo

"He hopes he is wrong." Said Zechs "Same as me."

In another universe Leilani tossed and turned as she tried to get some sleep but she just couldn't sleep. Her mind just couldn't rest. She slowly sat up and walked out of her room and down the darkened hall, pass her parent's and brother's room. She walked to the kitchen and out the patio door and onto the deck. She sat down and looked up at the starry sky above her house.

"The stars look the same here as they do in the other universe." Thought Leilani as suddenly something brushed across her leg causing her to jump. She looked down to see a pair of glowing eyes. "Hello their Jinx did you miss me?" asked Leilani as she picked up her all black cat. The cat curdled up on her lap and started to purr.

"I'll take that as a yes." said Leilani with a small laugh before she started talking to herself "At least you are always my friend, I really don't want this to come to a war. I think that Victor, Marena and Bernardo would get along great with my friends here. Aeneas not so sure and surrey not Dimitri."

"I would like to meet your friends." said a voice from behind her causing Leilani to jump up from her seat causing the cat to jump down.

"Mayu, you scared me." said Leilani as her cousin just blinked. It was normal for Mayu Asuka to stay with her Aunt and Uncle while she was in Orb just like Leilani stayed with them when she was in the Plants.

"Sorry, didn't mean to." said Mayu as she sat down across from her six month older cousin "So what are your friends like?" Leilani just smiled as she began talking about her friends.

"We need to hurry we are only 6 hours away." yelled Wufei as Dimitri sat there with a welding torch in hand.

"We are pilots why are we doing this?" asked Dimitri

"Because we are the only ones that President Darlian trusts and this mission has to be done." said Wufei as he watched Dimitri and Aeneas went back to work on the shuttle.

The next morning Heero and Lunamaria stood on the tarmac waiting for the shuttle carrying Relena to arrive. "Do you think they will take the peace offer?" asked Luna

"I don't think so." Said Heero as suddenly a shuttle started coming done.

"Looks like you are wrong for once Heero." Said Luna as the shuttle landed and rolled to a stop in front of them. Both of them just stood there waiting for the door to open. "What is taking them so long?"

"I don't know." said Heero as he walked up to the door. He quickly opened the door and walked inside. "Luna get in here now!"

"What is it?" asked Luna as she ran inside the shuttle only to find that all the seats had been removed and inside sat a large box with nuclear signs on it. "They sent a nuke?"

"Ya, it went off." said Heero "Lucky for us they didn't seam to know about the N Jammer therefore the nuke didn't go off."

"Those people." said Luna as she punched the wall "We give them a chance to make peace and they send a nuke?"

"Not just any nuke." said Heero as he looked at the design "If this had gone off all of Orb would be a nuclear waste land."

"What are we going to do?" asked Luna

"What choose do we have?" asked Heero "We have a full war on our hands."

"What is going on?" asked Cagalli as she stepped out of a car and walked toward the shuttle pass the line of news cameras and reports.

"I don't know." said a soldier "Admiral and Vice Admiral Yuy went inside and they have not come out."

Just then Heero and Luna walked out of the shuttle and headed over to Cagalli "What is going on Heero?" asked Cagalli

"They just tried nuking us." Said Heero as Cagalli's eyes widened.

"What?" asked Cagalli

"It was a Trojan horse they modified the shuttle to carry a nuke and with a computer Auto-pilot they flew it here to get us." said Luna "We were luckily they didn't know about the Neutron Jammers. Without them everyone in Orb would be dead the moment the shuttle landed."

"Are you sure?" asked Cagalli

"I am sure." said Heero "I removed the control panel, it should be safe but we need get it out of here just in case."

"Alright have Erika move it to somewhere safe and head to the situation room." said Cagalli as both Yuys nodded. Just then the press started to scream questions at the top of their lungs.

"Is it true about the Nuke Lady Cagalli?"

"Does this mean War?"

"I pity you right now." said Luna as they Cagalli turned to the press.

"We need to put everyone on alert, they may try a second strike thinking that the nuke would take out command and control making it easier to invade." said Heero

"Sure thing." said Luna

Cagalli stormed into the command center after half an hour of answering the press questions, something she hated with a passion. "Get me Lacus and President Burns as soon as possible." Ordered Cagalli

"They are already on line." said Athrun as Cagalli looked toward two screens only to see Lacus and President Burns of the EA.

"Chairwoman, President I thank you for meeting me so fast." said Cagalli

"That is quite alright." said President Burns "I never thought I would be saying this but we are lucky N-jammers are around."

"What are we going to do?" asked Lacus "If they are willing to use nukes to whip out an entire nation how far will they go?"

"I don't know." said Cagalli "We can't let this go without a response."

"I have a few ideas." Said Heero as he and Luna walked in.

"What do you have Heero?" asked Cagalli

"I have been looking over the data and the facts is simple, if they get a foothold here there is no way we can remove them." said Heero "They simply have too many forces at their command for us to play the defenses."

"Surly it isn't that bad?" said President Burns "After the number of suits they lost at the battle they can't still be ready to fight."

"They have around 3 million mobile suits." Said Heero as Burns' eyes widened. "Losing those suits mean nothing to them. They are a world united as a single nation, we a world divided into different nations. Also since they have had peace and didn't have incidents like the Break the World their population is 2 billion bigger then ours."

"What do you suggest we do?" asked Burns

"What options do we have?" asked Cagalli

"If coordinators want to live and the other people of the world want to be free from Relena's control then we have only one option…attack." said Heero as he looked at all three leaders "The three nations Orb, Zaft and the EA must set aside our differences and take this fight to them. If we don't we will lose this war."

Cagalli lowered her head think for a moment. "Heero I have always trusted your judgment and you have never been wrong are you sure this is the only way?" asked Cagalli.

"It's the only way." said Heero

"Fine then Orb will go to war." said Cagalli

"And Zaft will fight along side you." said Lacus as both woman looked at President Burns.

"The EA doesn't wish to fall under the control of this Relena Darlian." said Burns "We are with you."

"Now Heero do you have a plan?" asked Cagalli

"Yes, I do." said Heero.

Well sorry for being so long in updating life took over for a bit. Well I hope you liked this chapter, soon an all out war will break out between the Earth Nation and the allied forces of Zaft, Orb and EA. I would like to thank everyone for the reviews and I ask that you keep on reviewing. Thanks Wilkins
