Changing of Time
Chapter 3
Relena had been missing for about three years now. The EarthStar foundation had slowly begun to take control of the New Nation. The Gundam Pilots did their best to try and destroy the enemy's bases and mobile suits, but it was a hopeless battle. They were greatly outnumbered and many of the people had been turning their freedom over to the foundation.
Relena punched her opponent one final time before he fell to the floor. " Very good Relena." Dr. J complemented as he walked up beside her. "Thanks Doctor J." Relena said, as she wiped the sweat off her brow. "Relena…." Dr. J began. "What is it Doctor J?" Relena asked, sensing the edginess in his voice.
" It's time for you to return. Your mission is about to begin." Dr. J said. "I understand." Relena said in an uncanny imitation of Heero's coldness. After Relena had packed all her essentials, she headed for her Gundam. She had trained long and hard for this moment. She would not let everyone down. "Remember your codename." Dr. J told her as she climbed in the cockpit. "I will……..oh and Dr. J?" Relena asked. "Yes?" "Thanks for everything." Relena said before blasting off in Moonbeam.
"Whew! That was some battle!" Duo said as he flopped into a nearby chair. "It's too bad the foundation won't just make a treaty with us." Quatre replied. "There is no treaty when you're battling an enemy." Heero spoke up. "Yes I know. It's unfortunate. So many people must loose their lives because of a few misguided." Quatre spoke solemnly. "We do what we can. But in the end it may not be enough." Wufei stated. With that the conversation came to a halt.
"I wonder if Relena would have made a difference." Duo wondered aloud. Then he remembered. Aw man I forgot about Heero. Heero had been in a depression mood ever since Relena disappeared. He and the other Gundam pilots had looked all over for her. At one point they thought the Foundation might have captured her. After successfully breaking in their computers, they found no information on Relena Peacecraft. Whether it was because they had a good security system or they really didn't have Relena, the pilots gave up on looking at the enemy to find her. Duo came out of his thoughts only to see Heero walking out the door.
The next day the pilots received a call from Sally. "You guys have to get over to the Cinq Kingdom Spaceport now! The enemy has sent hundreds of mobile suits here. We're trying to hold them off, but we're losing ground!" Sally yelled through her mobile suit intercom. "Right." All the pilots said before running to their gundams, and left for the battleground.
Once the G-Boys arrived they saw what Sally had been talking about. The entire port was covered in suits. From the looks of things, it seemed that the enemy had pushed their way to the last defense line. Hurrying themselves, the Gundam team joined the battle. For hours they fought in their suits, slowly pushing the enemy back.
The enemy still had many mobile dolls, when the Gundam pilots were beginning to tire. "Man, they're never-ending!" Duo shouted over the intercom. "No kidding. But we can't give up!" Quatre shouted back. The Pilots were about to be destroyed when a new suit came into the vicinity.
"What's that suit?!" Wufei asked over the intercom. "I think it's a gundam!" Quatre shouted, as he sliced through another mobile doll. "But we're the only ones with gundams!" Duo replied. "Let's just hope that whoever it is, is on our side." Quatre said, as he thought about all of the suits they were facing. The new gundam had already destroyed some suits, when it pulled out an odd-looking beam rifle. Aiming carefully, the suit pulled the trigger and most of the battlefield burst into flames.
Finishing off the last of the suits, the gundam boys turned their gundams to their new acquaintance. The gundam was had many weapons, just from looking at it you could tell it was a very complex suit. "HEY! WHO ARE YOU!" Duo yelled to the other gundam. "A Friend…" A stranger replied over the intercom.
Relena was having a difficult time keeping her emotions in check. Struggling to maintain her fake voice she continued. "The battle is over you can return home now." With that Relena sped off in her gundam. She was afraid that if she didn't leave she might have made a fatal mistake. I can't let them find out who I am. They may need my help in the future, so I must keep a low profile. Relena thought, as she got out of her Gundam and headed for the home where she would be staying.
"I wonder who was in that gundam." Duo remarked to the others as they were working on their own gundams. "Whoever it was helped us out tremendously." Quatre replied. "We should be careful, we don't know if it's on our side." Trowa said. "What are you talking about! The pilot saved our skins, and you're telling me whoever it is might be a enemy?!" Duo yelled. "People can change sides in a time of battle." Wufei reminded him. "Yeah..sure." Duo said as he left the gundam's hanger.
