Gundam-Soldiers

Episode XII

intro

The fall of space fortress Balji, the symbol of O.Z.'s rule, was brought about by White Fang. This dramatically changed the structure of power in Space. Milliardo Peacecreaft had truely become a prominent figure.

Meanwhile, the World Nation based on the complete peace ideal that Queen Relena propsed was being constructed....but with the return of Trieze Khushrenda, Relena was made to resign her position.

After Colony 195, The tension between Earth and Space had risen to a hair-trigger crisis, as the World Nation and the White Fang prepares for the final fight.

Libra Launched

My home policy: I wage war, My foreign policy: I wage war.

All the time I wage war...

~George Clemenceau

Location: an O.Z. base on Earth somewhere

Some survivors from Barlji landed on the airfield.

"Commander Nicole, " an officer said," We're glad you're safe."

"You call this safe?" Nicole said," Only 17 survived. That was all I could save from Balji's crew of 200!"

Then a containment pod was puched out of a shuttle.

"Commander who is that in there?"

"The only reason we didn't die up ther with honor, was to bring her safely here. Please take her to His Excellency's side."

In the nearby hospital, Lady Une was kept there.

"Her exterior wounds have healed," a doctor said to Trieze," but....she still has not regain consciousness."

Trieze enters Lady Une's room with flowers, and put them at her side.

"My Lady, I'm glad you have returned," Trieze said to the sleeping beauty that lays unconcious before him," I am please to be able to see you again. Though your heart was always by my side. But Lady, you must watch me closely from now. The curtains is about to rise on a glorious battle...to end mankind's foolish history between Earth and Space. This final act is too much for Relena Peacecraft to handle. It must be me, yes me. Exactly, she will lead forward the future we provide for her. Relena Peacecraft must have the hope of the people on Earth."

Later, at the Romefeller Estate, Jacen volenteered to represent the Federation and presents a speech in front of the excutives and representives of the world. Jacen spoke with truth, passion, and with all his strength. He really knows how to move the crowd.

"I ask the representives of the various nations. Why must this World Nation exist? Queen Relena said it was for peace, but has tranquillity returned to the heart of our people? The answer is NO! Even now the people fear unrest and shutter to threats. Why is this? It is because of White Fang, that are preparing to attack us.We cannot and will not tolerate this tyrannical behavior.

I speak to all leaders-NO...to all the people of the World. We must join together and fight this menace from Space. This will truly make us one nation, on Earth, in Space, and win peace! That is the reason for our existence! "

The people of the assembly applaud and even cheered the young representive. Jacen was being admired among the people of Earth and in Space, as well. A combination between Relena Peacecraft and Trieze Khushrenada. Though Jacen aspired for peace, the difference between him and Relena, that Jacen wants to end this conflict by starting it, thus he also becomes a highly respected figure, like Trieze. This foreshadows what Jacen might become after the war.

Jacen stepped down and walk along the corridors, then ran into Trieze, who clapped his hands and walks up to him.

"Trieze,"

"Nice speech... for an actor...."

"(smiles) hmp, To be a politician is to be an actor, Trieze, so we also must give the people some sort of performance."

Trieze smiled and Jacen started to walked away.

"You'll make an intresting politician after this war, though" Trieze said

"...I doubt that I'll pursue a career in such trivial matters, but this is war, and at times like these, peace is only a goal that is nearly unattainable in anyway beside fighting for it. To kill in the name of peace, so many had died already without knowing why. So is peace that worth it, to throw away lives, to kill, to die.... it is not fair that those who had fought for peace, are now dead........."

"Life is never fair, but you must accept that this is the way of life, it is never fair......."

Meanwhile, Relena went into Space to go to see Milliardo.

"This is the third time I've seen Earth from Space."Relena said to herself," Father...you wish for peace between Earth and Space to the end. I wonder if i can be like you."

An O.Z. officer flew toward her.

"How is the trip Miss Relena?"

"It's fine, thank you."

"It will be a while until we reach Libra, so please rest if you can."

"Yes, sorry for the trouble."

"Your welcome," and the soldier flew away.

"Come on Relena you must have courage. You have to protect our beautiful Earth."

Elsewhere, a White Fang pursue groups chase after former White Fang members that are now only loyal to Trieze.

"That damn White Fang! Their very persistent. Seems like they're not gonna let us got." a Taurus pilot said

"We don't have a base or Balji anymore. We haven't got anywhere to hide and they turned their backs on us," a White Fang pilot said.

"They used to be of O.Z. but if Trieze become the Earth's leader....they can't stay with us."

"There is no need for principle or opinion for a front line soldier, They're wretched if they don't understand that."

The White Fang carriers launched MD's and attacked the Taurus's.

"Even if we manage to take out one ship, it proves that their forces are weaker. That is my loyalty to Commander Trieze.

The O.Z. and White Fang forces fight each other, but because of the power of the MD's, they O.Z. forces were not able to destroy much of the enemy.

A Taurus fires at an Virgo II, but it was only knocked back and then right itself up and destroyed another Taurus. Another Taurus blew up, and another. They were being dropped like flies. The lead one destroyed a Virgo, but was shot and his right arm with his only weapon was destroyed and he faces his death.

"Is this it?!!" he said

Then out of nowhere, Altron and Fongwong custom appeared and destroyed some MD's. They flew right into a White Fang carrier.

"What the, Gundams?!!" The last Taurus pilot said, and one of the 2 looked very familiar, "G...Gundam 05!"

Wufei and Wongfei jetted at the Carrier and readies to attack.

"It;s coming this way!"

"What!"

But it was too late as both charged up staff weapons and slash at the carrier and destoryed it. Far off was another carrier.

"Send out all the Virgos! The targets are 05 and that other one!"

"I'll be the judge if you're right or wrong!" Wufei said," If you are right, you should be able to crush me."

He and Wongfei charged at the group and attacke dthem, chopping up a lot, but then gets hit too. They dash left and right and launched claws and blades at their enemies.

"Is this your best?!" Wongfei said,"There is no way you can beat either of us, and absolutely no chance to beat Trieze!"

He launches another chain blade attack and stabbed 2 Virgos, the ripped them apart. While far off, the last Taurus pilot watches with amazement.

"Gundams....."he said," This is how Gundams fight. This is the ideal His Excellency spoke of....."

Meanwhile, Wongfei and Wufei continues to battle the enemies, but gets swarmed.

"Come, if you want to beat me now is that chance!" Wufei said,

Wufei flies toward the Virgos and fires his tail beam cannon, and whip lashes his claws at another one.

Wongfei fires his claws in oposite directions and pulled 2 Virgos together and smashed them.

"Don't underestimate a fight!" Wongfei shouted.

"Moon base, this is the pursuit troop. We are in combat with Gundam 05 and a Federation Gundam! Request for backup!"

The the lone taurus loomed over the carrier.

"Gundams, I've learnt from you. I saw the truth in the way you fight. I thank you." The taurus flies on a sucide run against the carrier," Gundams, you are right. We, and they are the ones who are wrong. My only regret is that I have no means to tell this to the others."

He flies straight at the carrier and crahed and destroyed it.

Wufei and Wongfei's suits were heavily damaged and they flowed liflessly in the abysts of Space.

"Propulsion system failure." Wufei started saying th edamage report," Left arm manoeuvre failed. All sections level down.....Nataku. We can't just die, yet. There are still too many idiots in Space."

Wufei closes his eyes and rests. Wongfei on the other hand tries to repair his suit.

To the people of Earth, The almost complete battleship Libra was none other than a threat. With the growing unrest of the people, Treize Khushrenada joined...or even absorbed opposing forces on Earth with his strong leadership qualities. The desire to eliminate this menace made the people follow Trieze...and their fear lead them to prepare for war with the White Fang.

Back with Wufei and Wongfei, they both float pointlessly in Space. Then they detected a shuttle. It carried Heero and Sally. Wufei seems to fell who it is on that shuttle and closed back his eyes again.

Elsewhere, Libra nearly completed, readies to launch.

"Milliardo, sir" Quinze said," our Libra is finally completed."

"Good. Order all personel to assemble in the main hanger. I want them to hear the final warning to Earth. "

"Yes, sir," and Quinze leaves the room.

"Seems like we've both exposed a side very unlike ourselves, Trieze."

Back with Wufei, and Wongfei. They both got into the shuttle.

"Long time no see." Sally said

"So you're still fighting?" Wufei said

"You can talk." Sally said sarcasticly

"There was a suit that Zechs Merquise was using." Wongfei said," Are you piloting it now, Heero?"

"Yeah,"

"Then the other one was..." Wufei started

"It's Trowa's. But it can't be used yet. It has to be modified for outer Space use."

"There is one more that is damaged beyond repair." Wufei said, refering to the one in the hanger that is what remains of the original Excalibur.

"The Federation might want it back. We didn't find the pilot's remains in the suit though." Sally explained

"I see, Where are we heading? Libra's in the other direction."

"We're heading for the Peacemillion which Noin has joined up with. There are 5 Gundam pilots there. And one of them I think you'll be glad to see. " Sally said, but Wufei gave a stern face," Don't say you're getting off...cause we've just got enough fuel to get there. "

"Didn't you think I would take over this ship and head for Libra?"

"That's right, it didn't even occur to me. But the Peacemillion has parts, supplies, and technicians to repair your Gundam. It won't be too late to hit the Libra after that."

"So you're telling us to join you?"



"You can use the Peacemillion for the justice you're fighting for. Am I proposing a good deal."

Wufei sits down," Wufei?"

"I accept your kindness, but not your deal."

"Wufei."

"Leave him," Heero said," He's got his own way of doing things."

"Seems like it."

It was all quiet, until some White Fang carriers appeared.

"A White Fang Mobile Doll transport ship. "Sally said

"Seems like the reinforcement troop has arrived," Wongfei said

"Yes, they've surrounded us."

"Is that so?"

"How many?" Wongfei asked.

"There are 4 carrier, and each can carry about 10."

"So, 40 suits," Heero said.

"They've come for us." Wufei said and starts to leve for his suit.

"You don't understand enough." Wongfei said," You'd only die a dog's death in your Gundam, and I can't help you with mine."

"No matter."

"Go in Zero than," Heero said

"What," Sally said." Heero."

"In Wing Zero?"

"Yeah, but...don't let Zero's cockpit system decieve you."

"What are you getting at?"

"If you go in Zero, it'll tell you your true enemy."

Wing Zero drops out of the shuttle and flies out.

"I suppose it's worth a try." Wufei said and jets off

"Was it right to let him us Zero.?" Sally asked

"Zero is the basis of all Gundams. he has a right to try it out."

Wufei dashed left and right avoiding most of the shots.

"Come on. Show me. Show me all your power!" He popped out gattling guns and destroyed several suits.

He dashed forward and took out a beam saber and chopped away at one suit after another. Then stabbed one.

"The path I have chosen is right. " He drags the saber sideways and siced the Virgo in half. Then he charges to another group.If you say it isn't, try to change me with all your might!"

He fires the buster rifle many times and blew up a lot more.

Then, he had a vision from the ZERO system, and it foretold him that he was going to be shot in the back. Then he flies around and avoid combat,

"This is wrong," he said" I can fight on my own! I'll fight to the death on my own!"

He aims the buster rigle at another enemy and sees Trieze.

"Trieze?!" He gets flash backs of him defeated by Trieze, then he sees another Wing Zero that was piloted by Zechs," Zechs!?"

He fire the rifle at Zechs's face and destoryed the Virgo.he attacks and destroys the rest with full fury.

Meanwhile elsewhere, Dante himself, with Zechs approval, makes a speech at the Libra's main hanger.

"To the people of humanity...I speak to you as myself with my own will...my name is Dante Fanel... The Earth World Nation says that unity brings peace. I didn't think I would hear such sophistry from Trieze. I suppose you have forgotten, that there was once an orginization once called the United Earth Sphere Alliance. Did that idiotic orginization stop war and bring peace? No! Definitely no! Under the banner of justice and peace the Alliance conquered Earth and the colonies with their armies. The indications of war are no longer about the unifying the nations. It is a problem that results in the very being of humanity. From the moment mankind has stood on Earth, there has been fightings. The fight between the people became the fight between nations and we have come through thousands of years of history stained with blood. This is because it is in our instincts to fight."

On the Peacemillion, Jacen watches his brother as well as everyone all over the world and the colonies. Everyone was bafflied at the person that looked and sound so much like Jacen, but with opposite ideals.

"Brother, you are not wrong." Jacen said

Dante continues-

"Then, must we give up? That is not so, Beacuse there are people who can overcome such instincts."

Back with Wufei, he fights and destroys mostly all the Virgos in the area.

"No, My desire is a duel!" he shouted at the ZERO system,

Back in the shuttle, Heero and Sally watches the speech that Dante makes as well.

"Jacen's brother?" Heero asked

"I believe you already know," Dante continues,"Yes, the colonies are the new humans who have controlled their instincts and made peace possible. The colony citizens have lived in this harsh enviroment called Space. They know how meaningless it is to kill each other. "

Outside, Wufei finish off the last of the White Fang troops.

"Is..is this my future...?" he asked ZERO, he then sees Duo, Quartre, Trowa, Heero and all of the Federation Gundam pilots, and he understood," My path..is my path to be the same as theirs...?"

"I hope you understand. The colonies do not fight just because they can barely live in Space. Then why have we stood up? It is because the old humans on their stable Earth want war. They want to conquer us! It has been over 200 years since humans ventured into Space. It is now time to put an end to the history of war? For that, we must eradicate the origin of all wars...Earth."



Back with Wufei, he now realize what must he do.

"My enemy is Milliardo Peacecraft and Trieze Khushrenada. I'll defeat them.That is my justice."

"Of course we do not intend to kill unnecessarily." Dante continues. Sally and Heero talks about it.

"Seems like we'll have to fight him. At least we have a higher opinion of the human race."

"Taking this into account, we notify the World Nation leader Trieze Khushrenada once again. Our demand is to eliminate Earth from Space. If you do not accept, we will have to start this final war of mankind. This war shall end...one way or another..."

That ended his speech, but he didn't get an applaud or cheer from his own side......

Wufei gets back into the shuttle.

"You were quick." Heero said

"Zero showed me something intersting. "

"Is that so?"

"I've decided to fight with you. Seems likethe quickest way to defeat Zechs and Trieze. "

"Wufei," Sally said

At the Libra, it redies to launch, Zechs sits in his chair on the bridge.

"Prepare Libra for take off." Zechs said

"Yes, sir."

Dante enters the room.

"Nice speech Dante," I can see how you are like your brother..." Zechs said and Dante smiled

"-Unidentified shuttle, sir. What should we do?" but Zechs seem to be calm about it. Then an image of Dorothy appeared

"This is Dorothy Catalonia. It has been a long time Milliardo Peacecraft. You and Trieze often visited me when I was little."

".......shoot it down," Zechs said

Dante smiled a bit

"That is a Romefeller shuttle, shoot it down."

"...right,"

All the beam cannons readied themselves.

"Once there was a man with 2 names," Dorothy started," He was the heir to a peaceful nation, but for revenge of having his country destroyed...he put on a mask, changed his name, and became a legendary hero of a certain army. Now he says he would purge mankind. I wonder why he came to do such a thing? Is his actions based on the complete peace princple? Or is it the instinct of a hero? "

"Locked on target."

"Perhaps he doesn't really like peace. Perhaps he hate shis sister who had taken after their father's ideal. but nobody knows the truth. I want to be be your side. I want to engrave this war in my memory. After all, thisis going to be the last war. "

"...Very well. Show Dorothy in."

"Thank you very much Milliardo, I will never leave your side. " her shuttle goes into the huge battleship.

Far off in the distinct, Relena's shuttle gets closer to the Libra.

"I am the only one who can stop brother," Relena said,



Zechs joined White Fang in order to put an end to mankind's history oif war...but noone knew his true intentions behind this. Noin, Relena, Heero and the other Gundam pilots...were to be shocked at the single strike of determnation that could only see as a foolishness..........

The Peacemillion was escorted by the Ra Cailum battle group of 10 ships. Jacen waits in the Peacemillion for who he knows will come. Then they did.

"Something is approaching from behind. " a Peacemillion personnel said

"What? " Noin said

"It appears to be a shuttle of some sort. "

"The enemy? "

"No, they would have opened fire by now? "

"To the approaching shuttle, this is the Peacemillion. Please identify yourselves. "

"I thought you might be there, Noin. " Sally said

"Sally?!"

"I've brought some powerful allies with me. May I have permission to dock? "

Then shuttle enters the hanger of the Peacemillion. Heero and Wufei walks out to see Quartre, Duo, and Trowa.

"Heero! Wufei! "Quartre said floating toward them.

"It's amazing that you made it here without being shot down. " Duo said

"I'll be under your care for a short while. " Wufei said

"Aaah. That's no problem. I'm happy that you came. " Quartre then turns around and looks up at a catwalk up high over them," I like you guys to meet someone. I think you'll be very surprised."

They looked up and see...

"Jacen?...." Heero said," You're alive. But you self-destructed your suit and you were in it."

Jacen jumps off the walkway and flies down toward them.

"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger, my friend" Jacen said as he landed.

Sally and Noin are down on the floor watching the 6 boys.

"It appears that this war is going to be painful. " Sally said

"War is always painful. Sally... I'm so weak now, I may come to rely heavily on you. "

"Surely not on me... Those children have cut through their own indecision and found their paths. If we work with them, surely we will create a proper future. "

"Yeah, You're right. "

Duo stares at Wing Zero.

"You just had to bring that nuisance? A normal person has no business piloting that thing." Duo said

"I'm not telling you to pilot it. "

"If you've piloted it... then- "

"I can use it. The experience with I've had with the Epyon, which uses the same system, is of some use. "

"E-Epyon?! The suit Zechs pilots?! What the hell have you been doing? "

Duo slumps down in defeat. He might as well be talking to a statue. He turns around and walks away.

"Whatever.... I forgot. You're not a normal human being."

"We'll split the job into two teams. I'll supervise the work on Altron. " Howard said

"My... gundam." Trowa said

"Trowa! We'll have your suit convered for space in no time. "

"Please do!"

"Even if you can relearn to pilot, you'll only be a target for the enemy." Wufei said who has been silently watching from behind," You have no business returning to the battlefield. "

"You may be right. "

Elsewhere, Taurus units head towards an L-3 Colony.

Inside, Cathrine pets a lion.

"There there.... With Trowa gone, you must be lonely. "

"Cathrine! " The ringmaster said

"Yes? "

"About this next event-" then the animals go insane.

"Boss... What- "

Then, Tauruses come to land in the city.

"Behave yourselves!" A taurus pilot said," We, the space arms of OZ are now occupying this colony. "

"How dare they," Cathrine said

The fall of the moon base and the space fortress, Barge, were deadly blows to OZ. They who had reigned over everything, with White Fang attack and the growing hostility of the colonists, found themselves falling into complete isolation with n o way to protect themselves.

.

"To the White Fang. We, the OZ space forces, now occupy L-3's C421 Colony. We demand that you return that what you took from us by force - the Libra. If you refuse, we cannot guarantee the safety of these colonists"

Back in the Peacemillion,

"They've gotten indiscriminate." Duo said

"This is the result of their failure to prepare a place to run to, the White Fangs have them cornered." Jacen said

"After all....That's the only thing weaklings who rely on Mobile Dolls can manage. " Wongfei said

"What will the White Fangs do, I wonder? " Sally asked

"The White Fangs are an assortment of weaklings as well. But Zechs won't bend to their demands. The colonists will be abandoned." Jacen said leaning against the doorway.

"A sacrifice in the name of victory? Still, can this even be called a battle? "

"I'm not surprised that O.Z. would do such a thing, but I don't think Trieze would agree with this." Heero said as he walked in.

Meanwhile at the Libra.

"Damn you OZ! How cowardly can you get? " Quinze said

"We can't abandon them! "a guy said

"But we can't just hand over this ship! " another said

Laughter interrupts the argument.

"It means we're one step closer to victory. Right.... Milliardo?"

"What do you mean, Lady Dorothy? "

"They chose to act foolishly and take hostages. The colonists will surely direct their anger towards OZ. "

"But to abandon them..."

"Direct the Libra towards C421. We'll be firing in addition to the course change. Notify all those involved. " Zechs said

"Roger... "

"Commander Milliardo! If we use the array on OZ, we'll annhilate the colony as well! "

"This is war." Dante said as he walked into the room," You must be prepared to sacrifice anything for victory. "

"But- "

"For their precious sacrifice, the deaths of these people will be remembered for a long time. Oh... How beautiful! " Dorothy finished

On the Peacemillion.

"The Libra's changed course and is now heading towards the colony that OZ is occupying." Sally said

"Only changed its course? They must be planning to used their main array." Heero said

"Are they going to eradicate the colony as well? They would! " Duo said

"That can't be, Zechs isn't like that. " Noin said

"I can understand your desire to believe in him, but he IS the leader of the White Fangs. " Quartre said

"Still...."

Trowa stands up in surprise as he sees Cathrine in the crowd.

In the hanger Howard works on the refitting of Heavyarms, and appears to be giving it a new paint job of the color blue.

"We can put off the vernier adjustments. We need to overhaul the powerpacks first" The he noticed Trowa, all suited up.

Trowa sees that his it is still undergoing repairs and can't use it.

"That won't work. "

"Trowa... What's up? " Howard said, but Trowa flew past him."Hey! Trowa! What are you up to? "

Trowa gets into Wing Zero.

"Wait, Trowa! " Wing Zero starts up, and Trowa jets out.

"What the hell is he doing? "Duo said and then they took notice that Jacen himself flew out to join Trowa," O great, now he's going, too"

"Let's go after him. Wing Zero is too dangerous for Trowa in his current state."

"Yeah," Quatre and Duo float out, past Wufei.

"You're awfully calm. Shouldn't you show at least a little concern for your comrade. " Sally said

"There's no point in interveneing in this battle. And so long as Nataku is unable to move, I'm powerless. "

Quatre and Duo in a shuttle, chase after Trowa.

"Zero and Jacen's new suit should be able to wipe out the remaining OZ Mobile Dolls. There's no problem. "

"But if the Libra should chose to fire? " Sally said

"We aren't going to be the ones to stop it. "

"Heero... Then- "

Meanwhile at the Romefeller headquarters.

"Rejoice, your excellency, we will recover the Libra. And then we'll dispatch- " Trieze ended the transmittion and walks toward his window and stare out at the city.

"Is it all right to leave it like that? " an aide said

"I'm away for just a short while and OZ changes like this? "

"Yes. "

"I do not give them permission to use the name of OZ, this time. Tell them thusly. "

At the colony, the O.Z. troops were surprised at Trieze's respond to what they were doing.

"Excommunicated?! What do you mean? We're doing this for his excellency! Why? Why won't he accept what we're doing? Does he mean to let the White Fangs gain control of space? "

"This is terrible! Gundams! 2 Gundams has appeared!"

Outside, Trowa and Jacen fought the O.Z. Mobile Doll Taurus, but the Taurus's were no match for Zero, and certainly no match for Jacen. A Taurus tried to shoot at Jacen's back, but, the ZERO system in his suit allowed him to predict it, and he dodged the shot easily, and turned around to shoot his blaster. Then, combining his swords together and dices up a lot more suits.

Trowa is beginning to fall under the Zero System's spell.

"Please be all right sister.... "

In the Colony, the colonists are being herded.

"Get in line! Make the line straight! " one O.Z. soldier said

"That's going on outside? " One talked to another.

"They're being done in by Gundams, I hear. "

Catherine hears the conversation about Gundams.

"Gundams?"

"What about them? " the ringmaster said

"I don't know. But I'm tired of this. We just want to live in peace. "

"You! What are you talking about? We told you no talking! "

"Your bluff's not working! "

"What?! "

The ringmaster gets in front of Cathrine, taking the blow of the O.Z. soldier's rifle.

"Sir!"Cathrine runs to his side, supporting him. " What are you doing?! "

"That's enough Cathrine. Just do as they say. "

"Sir.This is wrong! Trying to achieve everything through force! "

"That's right, it IS wrong. But no one will set things to rights. Because they want to live.... But he's different... Trowa is risking his life to pursue what he thinks is right. If he wasn't he wouldn't be taking on the danger of piloting a Gundam. "

Outside the colony, Trowa and Jacen fights the oncoming hoard of suits, and seems to be unstoppable.

"Why? Why has a gundam appeared? " An O.Z. pilot said,"Have they joined hands with the White Fangs? "

He points his gun at the colony.

"Then they're abandoning the colony. I hope you regret this! This is your fault. This is your answer! " The a buster shot came from both Trowa and Jacen and instantly erased the suit.

The Taurus blows up. Trowa seems to be losing it, while Jacen asimmilates everything he suit is sending into his mind.

"I can see everything.... come on, come on, try and stop me!" Jacen shouted, and he slashed at another suit, and then shot at several more.

"My sister.... I must save her.... "Trowa said, then, the Zero System takes control.

"Trowa! "Trowa hears Catherine's voice,

His vision consists of her turning into a MD and then the MD becoming her as he blows it away. He goes bezerk when he thinks he's killing her. One Taurus gets ready to shoot him. Trowa aims at it, not realising there's a colony behind that suit.

"Trowa!" Jacen shouted, trying to help him," Calm down, don't let the ZERO system get to your head. Trowa!!"

Trowa ignores him and then gets a lock on one last Tarus and readies to fire. His eyes, were becoming all calm, he was becoming what Quartre was.

"Don't, Trowa! " Quartre shouted, and fired his gun at the last Taurus," Snap out of it Trowa! There are people you want to protect there! You're the one who corrected the errors of my ways! Are you going to repeat those same mistakes?! Don't let the Zero System control you! You're not that weak! "

Trowa snaps out of it.

"People... I... want to... protect? "

He doubles over, clutching his head. He has a vision of Heerowhen he was wounded and he helped him, Cathrine when she slapped him for trying to commit suicide, and Quatre about when the first time they've met.

"Trowa! Trowa! Are you all right?! Trowa!? "

"That's right, Quatre.... " said a bit shakily. Trowa slowly grips the controls. " There are people we want to protect.... Let's go, Catherine is waiting."

Inside the colony, the O.Z. troops were surprised at what justed happened.

"What? The Taurus units have been completely destroyed? Then we'll use the colonists as hostages until we get out. Use extreme caution while moving the Tauruses to the outer hatch. "

Then, a Taurus falls apart with a loud thud.

"What the?!"They run out of the mobile command center.

The remaining Taurus units look fine and then fall apart. When the smoke clears.... Deathscythe is there.

"A Gundam!? When-?! "The beam scythe is pointed at them.

"Sorry. But sneaking in without notice happens to be my specialty. "Duo said"This is it. We won't let you hurt the colonies any more. "

Outside, Jacen realizes that the Libra's main array is almost done charging, and he heads toward it.

"Main array charge is complete. We can fire at any time. "

"Wait! There's a civillian shuttle at 1 o'clock! "

"What?!"

Relena appears on the screen.

"Brother... this is Relena. "

"Just as I'd suspected. Here you are... but you're too late." Dorothy said thinking.

"What you're doing is wrong. "

"Pull back, Relena. " Zechs said

"No, I won't "

"Your shuttle is no obstacle for the main array. You'll die for naught. "

"I don't care. But let me say this. Using all this force to conquer people... Aren't you ashamed to use the Peacecraft name? " Her shuttle stops right in front of the huge cannon's path.

"Is that all you have to say? "

"Brother! "

"Fire the array. Begin the countdown."

Back at the Peacemillion.

"We've liberated the colony! Tell the White Fangs to stop their attack! " Duo's voice said from the comm.

"No need to... What you did was for nothing. " Wufei said

"What!?" Then Jacen's voice appeared on the comm.

"The Libra was never targetting the colony. " Jacen said

"Then...where....? You can't be serious! "

Back at Libra.

"Ten seconds...."

"Brother! Why are you attacking the colonies?! God won't forgive this act! Open your eyes!"

"My eyes are open. "

"3.... 2.... 1... 0 "

The array display centers on a round sphere.

"Brother! "

"Fire...."

A beam of white light flew toward the shuttle, and straight into Relena's shuttle. Her craft was not fast enough to avoid the beam. The Jacen's suit flew out of nowhere and pushed it aside, but as he did he himself was in the path of the beam and got engulfed in the shot.

"Jacen!" Relena shouted

".....brother..." Dante said

Jacen's suit went under heavy fire and he shielded himself from the onslaught, but hecouldn't take much more.The huge beam then bypass the colony.

"They missed." Sally said

"Was that a warning shot? " Noin said

"No... nothing like that. " Heero said"The Libra targetted the Earth. "

The white beam hit the Earth and then stopped. But, Jacen's suit was nowhere to be found.

"Now they've done it. "Duo said

"Are we truely powerless? " Quartre said

"Perhaps." Trowa said.

"I...wonder was Jacen killed this time?" Duo asked

"Well, if he didn't die at Sanc, I doubt he'll be truely dead...or if he can ever truely die from anything," Quartre said

Catherine run towards gundam then pausing.

"I believe in you. Don't let this miserable war continue any longer. And somehow... create a world of peace. "

Back at the Libra.

"Incredible! People must now tremble at the sight of this power we posess. The test of the main array was a great success! " Dorothy said

"This was not a test. It's a challenge issued to Treize. "

"Yes, of course. "

"The main arrays's regulator circuit appears to have overloaded." Dante said," We're currently compensating."

"Hurry. The enemy will come soon. "

"The enemy? And that would be? " Quinze said

"The greatest and most fearsome nuisance in this universe. The gundams. "

Relena's shuttle continues to fly toward the Libra, and far off, an object flies toward Earth. It was black from the brightness of the Earth's glow.

~A blood feud~

This war was started by disagreements between people, but it was more than that. This war began as a war of families. If you observed the history of this never ending conflict and the people involved it would make sense. House Fanel was one of the main reasons that this war started. It was the rebels, and then there is the trators of the House that spread out and changed sides. Jacen is in fact related to Trieze but only as a distant cousin with very little blood Fanel blood in him, but enough to consider him a part of the House. Trieze is related to Dermail, and it is House Fanel against the Romefellers. Then, after the fall of House Fanel, those who had survived started rebel groups and so on. Jacen himself was respoisible for many things that made the Alliance and OZ, such as better Mobile Suit varations, the Mobile Dolls, etc. Jacen made the conflict worse so that he can accomplish a personal vendetta. And now we have Jacen's side vs Dante's side. It is clash of between two of the same kind.
