"You're not going anywhere Queen Relena, Kai needs you."
"...Why didn't you let him take my life?"
"...man needs something better then himself to look up to. A person more divine then they are to fallow. They want to touch and believe in this thing that's above what they are capable of. And you're it. "
"Do you hear me? I am not a doll. Because dolls cannot bleed! "

Trowa's Voice: The year has finally progressed to A. C 198. Yet the peace that was for shadowed after Operation Meteor, has been tainted red. The Earth Sphere Unified Nation is now in a flex. Two cells of influential power have formed, The Knights, lead by Kai Tskishiro, who are pushing for a new form in government with deputy foreign minister Relena Darlian as the head of their reformed Imperial government and the people who are supporting President Lee, the one responsible for funding Preventers throughout the ESUN.
In the attempt to stop the potential fire Relena's nomination could bring, Lady Une assigned Noin and Zechs to take the necessary steps in protecting the peace that was worked so hard for. Even at the coast of Relena's life. But in an unexpected appearance Relena makes her statement. She denounces Kai's mission to eliminate the false peace that had been made, right before Zechs pulls the trigger to take not hers, but Kai's life. No one knows just happened between brother and sister that night but history will see it as an arc to bring what comes. Very unsure of what the future will bring the ESUN now faces the fire Lady Une feared. As its citizens watch with apprehension, the foundation of the future is once again rocked into an unsure path.

"At least one person besides the solders understand why the war was fought."
"I thought you disapproved of Relena Peacecraft Wufei."
The man in question snorted but didn't look up at his partner. "I do. But the woman that left the Ceremony was definitely/not/Relena Peacecraft."
Sally tilted her head in curiosity at the Chinese preventer. "Oh, no?"
Wufei folded his arms and looked over at the green car disappearing down the street.
"I'm not even sure she's a Darlian anymore either."
Sally followed his gaze with a thoughtful air till the vehicle was little more then a dot.
"I wonder if Zechs knows what's he's done? Not only about what the future will now bring, but what will happen to Relena. "
"Somehow I doubt it."

"Hildy are you sure these numbers are right?"
"Pretty sure, why Duo?"
"Well...according to this there should be at least double the amount of Neo-Titanium Alloy"
Duo slammed the clip board on the desk."Where'd this bull shit come from Hildy?"
The spunky blue haired Sweeper shifted through a pile of papers in front of her quickly and held out a plain white document.
"MO-8, not too far off from the Taraforming Project. Duo, what are you doing?"
The former gundam pilot shrugged on his Sweepers jacket "I'm gonna go stir the pot and see what floats up to the surface," *And hope to what ever God there is that I'm just being paranoiyed* he added silently. Duo flashed his partner a trade mark smile.
Hildy kept frowning at him. Duo sighed.
"Here" he bent down to scribble a number on the back of a semi-clean napkin. "If you don't get a periodic message from me in three hours, call this guy and tell him where I am. "
Hildy took the piece of paper and held it in her hands tightly.
"Don't worry. " Said the braided sweeper as he started out of the room "I'm sure its just a miscalculation!"
The door slammed shut
"Duo....why dont I believe you?"

Lady Une's Voice: After Operation Meteor searches for any more new models and other MS's were conducted. What was found shocked many. All over the ESUN were store houses and abandoned bases filled to the brim with MS's, waiting for what was the first attempt at Operation Meteor, that were never discovered after the Eve Wars to be melted down. Another great raise for concern were the many battles that had taken place in space. Bits of twisted and frozen metal littered the reentry borders of Earth. Because of the heavy risk involved few people volunteered for cleanup. A small band of fearless people, mostly former solders with no desire to become firefighters, calling themselves Maxwell's Sweepers made agreements with the Colony representatives and began the exhausting process of collecting the remains of battle worn suits in space and melting them down along with the already existing suits left over. In the first short year, The Maxwell Sweepers had an intricate net of operation working in space. At the head of this rowdy group of rouges and scrape metal workers was one Duo Maxwell and his partner Hildy Schbeiker.
**********
Duo leaned back in his chair and made a quick check on the auto control. Darkness clouded his face as he watched the coldness of space glide past him. A deep bitterness rooted its self in his middle as his thoughts swirled around. No matter what he did, he couldn't stop thinking that another Mariemaia was right under their noses.
*I wonder how many more Operation Meteors its going to take before people realize that these things don't lead to any thing but more wars. I'm sick of fighting battles I can't win.*
The former 02 pilot made sure his gun was loaded again. " If someone is going to pull another Barton act, I'll become the God Of Death one more time if it will stop another miserable battle."

She stud on the edge of the cliff, the ocean roaring under her loudly as dark angry clouds gathered in a thick blanket, slowly moving towards the shore. The rough wind had wrestled her hair free of its blue ribbon and caused her night gown to swirl around her thin frame violently. Her bar feet stained the sharp rocks that held her weight red.
"Do you hear me! I wont be you're martyr Zechs! I wont be anyone's doll! Not yours! Not Heero's! " the approaching strom swallowed Relena's screams like a dark angel taking in the pain of the world. Her eyes held anger no one had ever seen, a deep pain no one could understand but herself.
"Heero." She whispered, " you should have killed me." That too was carried away into the mad night sky.
