The year is after colony 200. Peace has finally been established across the Earth sphere, and the
Gundams are long since forgotten. The brave pilots who fought for so long and gave so much
has also been lost to history. They reside in the Sanc Kingdom, protected by its secure walls of
peace. However the Gundams only sleep, until they are needed.

"Heero's what???" Duo shouted in shock as Relena explained the situation.

"Heero has taken Wing Zero and left. We don't know where or why." Relena nodded solemnly.
All four remaining pilots had been called, to alert them of the new crisis. All now stood in total
shock.

Wufei was the first to break the silence "He's a warrior of the highest class. He would not fight
without a reason"

"But why Wufei? It doesn't add up" Quatre frowned and folded his arms across his chest.

"There is a reason"

All eyes turned to Trowa who was leaning on the wall, eyes closed, head down. Relena blinked at
his resemblance to Heero.

"Heero wants me. Or more accurately he wants Relena." Trowa spoke coldly and slowly, the kind
of voice that demanded both respect and fear. "Heero took Wing Zero to improve it. He's going to
attack, and he's going to try and kill me"

"How in blazes do you figure that Trowa?" Duo asked

"Heavyarms spoke to me in a dream" Trowa replied "and we will be ready for Heero"

"You bet Trowa, we're behind you 100%!" Quatre smiled at his best friend

"No Quatre. Heero would never agree to fight all four of us. It's going to be a duel. For the
princess" Trowa smiled briefly and looked up. His emerald eyes seemed to be looking everywhere
at once.

"No way Trowa. Wing Zero is too powerful" Wufei growled "And I want to get Nataku out of
moth-balls!"

"Wufei, if you want something to do then protect Relena if I fail!" Trowa eyes and voice snapped.
In a brief moment they all saw Heero, the old Heero anyway. The one who inspired such
confidence and faith in the pilots. The Heero who had saved the Earth Sphere more then once.
And the Heero Yuy they had all relied on to be there when something went wrong.

"I...I understand Trowa" Quatre spoke quietly, but he spoke for all.

"If you guys don't mind, I'd like to speak with Trowa alone" Relena asked everyone in a calming
voice that only she could provide.

As the pilots walked out of the room, Relena approached Trowa. Gazing into his eyes she felt the
same twinge that had made her fall in love with him.

"Trowa, be careful. I don't think I could stand losing to loved ones." Relena feigned a smile but it
faded quickly.

Trowa reached out and took Relena's face in his hands. Slowly running his hands through her hair
he smiled "Relena. I will come back The smile disappeared from his face as he added the grim
truth "Relena, to win I may have to kill Heero"

"I know" Relena nodded as tears began to form. Burying herself in Trowa's arms she cried openly
know that someone she loved was about to die.

In the dense forest, in an abandoned OZ base Heero Yuy continued to improved Wing Zero. The
Gundam had changed a lot now. Visibly more menacing. The wings were slightly larger and
more jagged. He color of the Gundam was dark shades of red, blue and black. It was more a
reborn Epyon then the Wing Zero now. The only unchanged factor was the head. It had remained
just the same. In one hand it held the rebuilt buster rifle. And in the other was the special beam
sword that Heero had designed himself.

"Your ready at last Zero" Heero smiled. The Gundams eyes glowed a demonic green, as if to
agree. "Now we are finally ready." The pilot climbed into the suit's cockpit and stretched his
fingers out to the controls.

The wing zero roared to life and blasted out of the OZ hanger. Spreading it's wings, and engines
roaring to full power the mobile suit blasted off. With an insane pilot at the helm of the most
powerful weapon since the Libra, all hell was breaking loose.

In the hangers beneath the Sanc Kingdom. A large dark blue suit also was coming to life. Hefting
two massive double gattling guns in each hand and carrying a full armament of ammo, missiles and
fuel, it was as ready as it would ever be to defend the Sanc Kingdom from Heero and his Zero.

"Heavyarms, it's time you saw the sun again" Trowa spoke to his powerful weapon. The
enhanced engines blasted blue fire and the suit rose into the air and headed off to meet it's enemy
