The year is after colony 200. After many years of blessed peace, battle has started again. Two
mighty mobile suits charge to a battlefield to settle a personal war. At one side there is the Rebuilt
Wing Zero and the other is the Heavyarms. Together they will make the earth shudder in fear, as a
great battle ensues.
* * * * * * * *
Heero saw Trowa first. Wing Zero's enhanced sensors showed that the powerful Gundam
was heading towards him at an alarming speed. But Heero was ready. Reaching up, he switched a
lever and felt the gentle shudder of the engines as he flew to the ground. The devil-like wings
retracted to frame his destructive suit. Hefting the buster rifle in one hand, Heero leveled it at the
radar blip that was Trowa. He squeezed the trigger, causing a large flow of power to enter the
rifle's barrel. Tiny particles of light streamed into the cannon as it reached full power. Heero
laughed out loud as he fired the massive weapon.

Trowa had let himself fall into his old combat routine. Letting himself be calmed by the hum of
the engines, his mind falling into a peaceful state. It was this that allowed him to sense the attack.
His eyes snapped to his long range sensor where he saw the golden beam of light. He knew what it
was immediately. Trowa's hands snapped out to the controls and he brought his Heavyarms into a
tight drop. The engines roared as he barley cleared the blast from Heero's cannon. But the
Heavyarms pilot thought quickly, he glanced at the ionized area the beam had passed and smiled.

"Found you Heero" Trowa powered up and rocketed along the ground until he reached the Wing
Zero.

The Gundams were standing in a large field, totally barren of all life, the field was
surrounded by dense jungles and forests, adding to the already thick feeling of contrast in the air.
They were surrounded by life and death. They themselves were contrasted as black and white, one
was fighting for revenge the other for his future, one had been driven insane by love the other had
been focused by it. And only would live through this battle.

With a cry of hatred, Heero ignited his beam saber and charged

Relena stood at the windows of the Sanc Kingdom, wondering if the horrible battle had
begun yet. For her there would be no victor and no loser. It was a horrible turn of events. One
she had set off. This was her fault. And yet she did nothing? This was unacceptable, Heero or
Trowa would have never stood by while such horror took place. She would act! She would end
this battle without any bloodshed. Tossing her diplomatic clothes aside, and dressing in a casual
pilot's uniform, she ran to the hangers. Ignoring glances she jumped into the pilot's seat of a
speedy helicopter, and took off towards the battle.
* * * * * *
And as Relena approached, Heero and Trowa had begun the fight. Heero felt a surge of
adrenaline as the Zero system pumped his brain with combat strategies. He was thinking in perfect
sync with Wing Zero. Bring the Gundam's arm up and down in a clean sweep trying to cleave
Heavyarms in two. Trowa reacted with the speed only he could muster. Activating the reverse
rockets, Trowa launched away from Heero, out of range of that damned beam saber.

Trowa slammed his hand onto a button that triggered all his massive arsenal.
Compartments opened from all conceivable places, displaying missiles and hidden gattling guns.
Lifting the two double gats in each hand, Trowa pulled the trigger. The Heavyarms erupted in fire
as the weapons streaked towards Heero. The mad pilot reacted as fast as he could, twisting his
Gundam this way and that, turning pulling maneuvers that would have killed anyone else. But
even he could not avoid the endless hail of firepower that Heavyarms could produce. Bullets
pinged and dented his outside layers, while the missiles threw him off center, and made it
impossible for him to right himself.

And as soon as it had started, it stopped.. Heavyarms exhausted it's arsenal and was left
defenseless. Now Heero was ready. He engaged his after-burners and stampeded towards the
vulnerable Heavyarms, jut as a helicopter landed in the forest near them.

Heero beam saber hissed to life again as he brought it down on Trowa's unguarded
Gundam. The emerald green blade came within inches before Trowa made his move. He hit his
thrusters and hit Wing Zero square in the chest. The beam saber flew from Zero's grasps the pair
of Mobile suits tumbled and rolled, finally stopping. Heavyarms was left grappling with Wing
Zero. Realizing the stalemate they had just entered Heero took action. Opening his blast door to
the brutal winds, he leapt foreword and landed on Heavyarms. Hitting a small hidden switch, he
opened the door and Heero and Trowa were face to face. Trowa unbuckled his crash webbing and
tackled Heero. Sending them both flying to the ground. As they hit with a dull thud, both were in
extreme blinding pain. Trowa tried to push himself up, but every move felt like a knife in his
spine. He was bleeding in several places. But what was most amazing was that Heero was fine!
The pilot had managed to land on his feet with no noticeable injures. Whats more, he had his side
arm drawn and was aiming it at Trowa's head.

Trowa slowly rose to his knees. Glaring right down the barrel, Heero smiled at his foe's pain, he
had won! Now it was all his! Just as he prepared to fire, Trowa kicked out, sending the gun
flying. Grimacing with agony Trowa fell onto his back. Heero snarled and jumped upon his
wounded foe, punching with the ferocity of an animal. Heero and Trowa rolled around, each
trading blows and taking momentary breaks to catch their breath. Then they were at it again.

They had pulled apart from each other for a brief moment when Heero decided to play his trump
card. Reaching into his pocket, he removed a small remote control. With a cocky grin he began to
explain.

"A remote for Wing Zero." Heero grinned and pressed a small red button. The Wing Zero's eye
flared a demonic green and the entire structure started to shake. "A super charge. Wing Zero will
increase in power twenty fold, then it will squish you like a bug."
* * * * * *
Relena ran as fast as she could away from her helicopter, stopping only briefly to glance at the
sliver locket she wore around her neck, on it were the four men that had mattered most in her life.
On one side, she had her adopted father and her brother Milliardo. On the other side were her two
great loves Trowa and Heero.

"Please let them be alive" Relena prayed before she began to run again, heading for the battle field.

Relena ran.
* * * * *
As Wing Zero began to raise it's power, a strange thing happened. The Gundam shook. The
power began to build inside of it. Heero stared in disbelief as the power core began to overheat and
the entire Gundam began to glow white hot. The seams of the metal armor shone with a brilliant
light, nearly blinding them both. It took Heero a moment to realize that the Wing Zero was going
to explode.

Relena ran.

Trowa also saw the explosion coming, he didn't think either he or Heero would survive this.
Goodbye Relena, Trowa smiled weakly I love you. And as if in answer he heard her voice calling
to him and Heero.

Relena ran.

"Heero! Trowa! Wait!" the princess screamed as she ran straight between the two Gundams. Just
as the earth shattering explosion ripped through Wing Zero. Filling the sky with flames.
