Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing or Sailor Moon. However, in response to the popularity of the live action Sailor Moon in Japan, I have decided to make Gundam Wing Live Action! Unfortunately, the project has been put on hold. During the part where Heero self-destructs Wing Gundam with him in it…lets just say I didn't plan through. Boy, that's the last time I try and go for "ultra-realism."

Chapter 26

Something was definitely different. The girls weren't all coming for him as they had been. Instead, only Minako was chasing after him, and it seemed like she wasn't actually trying to get him but more or less just trying to stick to him. Heero did not know what was going on but he knew that there was no way Minako could catch him. Nevertheless, if they were following a strategy devised by Quatre, he knew that he had to be on guard. The strange thing was that none of the other girls seemed to be trying to mindlessly tackle them, in fact, from what he could observe, Ami and Rei were just standing a few meters away from them. Usagi was just kind of deciding what to do, and Makoto, where was Makoto?

"Hiyaaaaa!" Exclaimed a sudden voice from behind him. Makoto was right on top of him! Right before Makoto landed a blow, Heero was barely able to move out of the way.

'Damn!' Heero cursed to himself. He had been paying so much attention to Minako, that he did not even take into account what Makoto was doing. And now just as he had jumped away from Makoto's attack, Minako was right on him again like a bee on a flower. 'She's bearing down on me. I have to distance myself from her.' He thought to himself then proceeded to use his most agile moves to jump away. However, as he looked back, he saw that he had barely put any distance at all from Minako and Heero quickly had to move away again. This was something completely different. How could this girl be so agile? She never exhibited this ability when he watched her during combat but did Quatre catch something he didn't? Heero glanced a look at his companion who had a small smile on his face. He would have to make sure Quatre did not interfere if he ever did something like this again. As it was, Heero was having a very hard time trying to shake Minako away. However, if he could somehow…

"NOW!" He heard a pair of voices yell.

Ami and Rei were literally just a few feet from Heero. If it had been anyone else, they would had been caught by the two girls, but Heero's reflexes allowed him to actually jump over a diving Rei and narrowly escape from the girls' grasp.

"Oh! Almost had him!" Rei cried.

"Don't get frustrated! He can't keep this up forever!" Ami encouraged.

'Did they actually predict my moves?' Heero wondered. 'No way, my moves don't have a pattern to them so its either that or…' Heero suddenly had a stark realization while looking at Minako who had a small smirk on her face. 'she's been leading me towards them all along!' "I'm very impressed you can keep up with me." Heero told his adversary.

"Thank you for the compliment." Minako snidely replied.

"However, there is something you should know."

"What is that?"

Heero's eyes narrowed. "I'm only using about 50% of my speed!" Faster than a blink of the eye Heero darted away from the surprised blonde.

"Kuso!" She screamed as she chased after Heero with all her stamina. This went on for a few minutes with Heero dodging Minako as she tried desperately to keep up with him.

'Minako, you're speed and agility are admirable, but the difference between our stamina is too great.' Indeed, Heero had noticed Minako breathing heavily and she began to lose a bit of her speed. If this kept up, Heero would be able to go wherever he wanted without the worry of Minako bearing down on him. He would also be able to be able to keep his eyes on the other girls. 'This is it Minako!' Heero thought getting ready to use his full speed and open up an insurmountable length between them. But just as he was ready to go he felt something wrap around his right leg. Looking down, he saw a mass of pink hair, which was attached to a small child. Chibi-Usa, had wrapped herself around his leg. He had forgotten all about her! Apparently, that whole time she was hiding behind a nearby bush getting ready for the perfect time. And she sure did capitalize on that time. This was a possible fatal flaw in Heero's defense.

Heero's mobility had been greatly decreased. Even though the girl was light, she was still an uneven weight on his leg, which was hard to compromise for. No matter what he did, he could not shake her off. Chibi-Usa had her arms and legs wrapped tightly around Heero's leg and there was no way she was letting go. He looked up and saw Minako charging right for him. Heero had no choice but to drag Chibi-Usa along with him but he could barely keep away from Minako and he knew if he didn't do something soon he would be caught. Heero only had one chance, and despite what he was about to do went against everything that made Heero who he is, there was no choice.

Heero started to tickle Chibi-Usa.

The small lady began laughing and squirming uncontrollably trying had not to let go of his leg but also trying not to laugh herself to death. It was so hard for the child though. Heero's unrelenting fingers were merciless and despite Chibi-Usa's hardest efforts, her arms and legs unwrapped and she came apart from Heero's leg. 'Excellent,' thought Heero. 'now I can…' However, Heero's thoughts were stopped as a much heavier weight had suddenly beared down on Heero's back and wrapped around Heero's torso. Heero saw the source of the problem…Minako had jumped on his back.

"Got ya Heero!" she cheered in Heero's ear. He tried running but then he felt another weight bearing down on his side, Makoto had attached herself to his shoulder! Now it was really hard to move. Still, Heero tried to get away. Unfortunately for him, it suddenly proved even harder because Rei and Ami had suddenly attached themselves to his back as well and Chibi-Usa had reattached herself to his leg. As it was now, Heero could barely stand much less run.

"HYAAAAAAAA!" came a loud scream from straight ahead. Heero saw who it was...Usagi. The hyper girl was running at him full speed much like a football player getting ready to spear a quarterback. There was no way to avoid her.

'Heh, looks like I lost.' Heero said to himself. Heero allowed himself a slight smile despite his defeat, as he prepared himself for Usagi's hard head.

"We did it! We did it!" Rei exclaimed as she and the other girls celebrated their victory over Heero.

"Yes! Now give us back our stuff Heero!" Makoto ordered.

Heero, who was currently nursing a bruised abdomen courtesy of Usagi, walked over to the girls. "You've earned it." He told them earnestly while dropping the Sailor equipment on the ground.

"YAHOO!" Minako squealed diving into the pile of transformation sticks quickly digging out the one marked for Venus. "Oh my old friend," she whispered rubbing her cheek against the stick. "I've missed you so much."

Ami agreed. "This feels so satisfying." Indeed, they had earned something that wasn't just given to them. They actually worked quite hard for something. Now they could truly say they earned the right to call themselves Sailor Soldiers.

"Ah! Isn't this great everyone! We got our stuff back!" Usagi exclaimed.

Rei smirked evilly. "No thanks to you."

"What! I'll have you know, I provided the final blow!"

"What about me?" Chibi-Usa argued. "I'm the one who slowed him down!"

"That's enough girls." Luna ordered. "I am proud of you all, you got in some very good training and learned to do things without your powers."

Ami concurred. "Yeah, I think we owe it all to Quatre. We couldn't have done it without his help."

All of the girls had very thankful and adoring faces gazing at Quatre who suddenly found himself very bashful. "No, all I did was give you all some tidbits that's all, really you all did the work."

Minako and Rei quickly made their ways over to Quatre and quite fowardly grabbed his arms and hugged them. "Thank you Quatre! You're soooooo smart!" Minako cooed.

"Maybe you could give me some more strategies later." Rei suggested.

Quatre blushed and stammered some incoherent phrases. The two girls sure did put him in strange situations.

"Excuse me," Heero spoke up. "but just because you beat me once, do you think that you are done training?"

The area suddenly got silent enough to hear a pin drop, but then the silence was soon shattered with five distinct voices screaming as loud as they could. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"No way Heero!" Usagi yelled clutching her brooch very protectively. "There is no way I'm going through that hell again!"

"You have to be kidding me!" Minako roared. "We beat you fair and square!"

"That's it! Lets just beat his ass right here!" Makoto snarled.

"Yeah!" All girls agreed, even Ami, which caught Heero quite off guard considering five angry girls aged 14-15 were now rolling up their sleeves and marching straight towards him. Truthfully, Heero didn't know whether to laugh or run. Nevertheless, he kept his composure.

"I wasn't talking about training you physically, I was talking about going over your battle strategies."

"Oh," All girls uniformly said then suddenly turning sweet again. "then please go ahead."

Heero sighed. "First off, let me just say, if I were your enemy, each of you would be dead by now." This did not sit well with the girls, Usagi and Minako had to bite their tongues but decided not to speak up. "Time after time, I have seen you squander the element of surprise. For example, the other day, you all actually shouted at the enemy and bantered them like a mother to a child instead of finding a strategically placed position and attacking from there. The five of you actually just walked up to your opponent while talking to them." Usagi cringed at what Heero just said. Sure she was known to lecture her enemies from time to time. Well, most of the time. Well…all the time. Okay but hey it wasn't like they lost because of it. The other girls realized it too. Most of the battle started with a "hold it!" followed by a "in the name of (insert planet)" followed by a "punish you!"

"Next," Heero continued. "you always seem to let the enemy attack first. Only the weak wait for the enemy to make the first move. If you don't become more aggressive, you won't survive at what you are doing. I never waited for the enemy to make his first move when fighting. If I did, I would have been dead a long time ago. Following that, you never counter attack. Your opponent attacks you and you never fight back. You are running out there like chickens with your heads cut off screaming and trying to dodge, especially you Usagi."

"Grrrrrr." Usagi growled. It wasn't like she did that all the time! Maybe only…okay well all the time. Usagi's head dropped in shame.

"Last, you always outnumber your enemy five to one maybe even six or seven or even up to 10 to one. So tell me, why the hell are your battles so hard for you?"

"Hey! These things are strong!" Rei countered.

Makoto tried also to come to their defenses. "Yeah! They're built very well and have great powers!"

"Uh-huh!" Minako exclaimed. "And they're…they're diabolical!"

"No excuse, your powers are not much less from your enemies if you are even weaker than them. There are five of us in my universe and believe me, we would make short work of any single mobile suit that would challenge us."

Even Quatre had to agree with Heero. He couldn't imagine a single mobile suit or pilot that could beat all five of them. Sure, the enemies that the girls faced were tough, but the fact was that they outnumbered them by a large amount.

"Alright point taken." Makoto said.

"Is there anything else oh great strategist?" Rei asked sarcastically.

"No that's it. I suggest you all rest up. You all have worked very hard recently."

"Yeah!" Usagi said suddenly cheering up. "I lost five pounds!"

Rei became mocking again. "They'll be back by Tuesday with reinforcements."

"WAAAAHHHH!" Usagi cried. "Rei's being mean again!"

Anyway, I'm back at school and am ready to take on a whole new semester of stressing out over grades and no sleep and tests and finals and….great now I'm depressed!
