Wufei, Heero, Duo, Trowa, Zechs, and Quatre had all assembled to discuss the matter of Gem Lightblade.
'I say we find him, and nail him, hard and fast' was what the general atmosphere was of the conversation.
"Look," Duo started, "if this guy can take down Wufei, and fight Heero to a stalemate, that if we _do_ confront him, we do it in full force."
"What do you mean, 'if' we confront him?" Heero asked, eyes tainted with rage. "I want to find him, and stomp him out of existence."
"Yes," agreed Wufei. "He is far too dangerous to be left unchecked."
"Guys," Quatre began, "why don't we find him, but instead of killing him, we just disable him?"
"What do you mean?" Trowa asked, puzzled.
"Well, why don't we just destroy and wreck his Gundams, or put him in jail?"
Heero shook his head. "No way. He's way too dangerous. He threatened to kill Relena, and if he ever gets out, we're going to have some major problems. If he can beat Wufei and myself, then he obviously can't just be run over without a good deal of difficulty. And even with the six of us, he already has two Gundams, maybe more. He'll be too large a threat."
Quatre shrugged. "Just a suggestion."
Duo looked at his friends. "Well, then what do we do?"
Zechs said, "Wait for him to reappear. Once he shows up, we ambush him, simple as that. He may be able to beat us one-on-one, but can he beat six Gundams at the same time?"
Almost as one, everyone shook their heads.
"Exactly. I suggest that we stay on our guard," Zechs finished. "I doubt that he'll leave himself open for much of an attack, but it's the best we've got."
The six pilots stood up, and walked back to their homes.

In another place…
Hilde breathed in the fresh air. She was _so_ bored, what with Duo out with the other pilots, talking about that Gem guy. She was in definite need of the walk she was about to take.
She was in sweat pants, and had on a wind breaker. She had been taking these walks more frequently, and she really enjoyed them, because it let her get some fresh, and some exercise at the same time.
She had walked for about 15 minutes, when she came up on her favorite part of her walking route. She would get to go down a long strip of a sandy beach. She loved it, because no one was usually on it, and that plus the fact that there was the soft sound of the waves against the shore, with the quiet sound of the gulls screeching…it allowed her to think and just relax.
She was about halfway along the beach when it happened.
At first, it was just a slight roaring sound, and Hilde thought that it was just a breeze that was picking up. When it got to a loud, thundering noise, she was definitely afraid. She turned around, and saw, just off the ground, a Gundam!
With a yell of fear, she tried to run away, but the Gundam easily caught up to her. It bent down, and calmly picked Hilde off the ground.
Hilde was beyond afraid. She didn't have any clue as to what the Gundam was, or who it belong to, as she had never seen anything like it. It was completely black, with only dashes of silver on it, most of the silver coming from the steel on the machine. It was smaller than any of the other Gundams, but was still dangerous looking. The Gundam had a very sleek, smooth look to it. It had two huge, deadly looking spikes on the each forearm, each going far forward, but arching up just high enough so that it didn't impale Hilde. But it was the face that terrified Hilde: the mouth had rows of sharp teeth, all razor sharp and in a general disarray, giving the machine a look of some denizen of the underworld, especially when accompanied with the pointed eyes.
The Gundam opened its mouth, and Hilde was terrified that it would try to eat her, even though it was a machine. Hilde fainted.
The mouth continued to open, but instead of eating her, there came a laughing sound.
Continuing to laugh, the Gundam flew off.

Meanwhile, at Duo's house…
Duo yawned and stretched. He had just come back from the meeting with the other pilots, and was pretty tired. Maybe a short nap, and Hilde would be back from her walk…
Duo was just starting to drift off when the phone rang. Grumbling about when the phone rang, he picked it up.
"Hello, this is Duo," he said.
"DUO!" There was a yell so loud that Duo nearly dropped the phone. "Duo, check your computer!" After a moment, Duo realized that it was Quatre.
"What, what is it?" asked Duo, puzzled. Quatre was panicked, and sounded out of breath.
"We all got the letter, and it was so scary, we don't know what to do, should we listen-"
"Whoa, whoa, slow down. What is it? What's so scary?"
Duo could practically hear Quatre swallow. "Duo, you need to check your computer."
"Uh, okay. I call you back." Duo hung up the phone.
He went on to the computer, but when it should have brought up the desktop, there was instead a message. It read as follows:
To Duo,
I have Hilde. If you do not arrive at the main plaza in the capital city of your colony at midnight tonight, I hope you said goodbye to Hilde when you last saw her. Be in Deathscythe. Come alone.
Signed,
Gem Lightblade
Duo stood up from the computer, he face completely blank. He then threw his head back, and screamed, "GEM!!!! I SWEAR, I _WILL_ KILL YOU!!!!!!!!"
***
Not even fifteen minutes later…
The six pilots were together again. Each one had received some letter from Gem, but they had all received taunts from Gem, basically a 'I've got Hilde, I've got Hilde' sort of taunts. Only Duo had gotten the letter about the challenge. Duo had already filled them in. He had also filled them in on how, quote, "Gem will die, I swear to God, he is so dead, I'm going to kill him…"
Heero looked at Duo. "Duo, are you sure? Why don't we try to ambush him, make him think he's alone, then attack-"
"No," Duo said, cutting him off. "I won't risk Hilde. I am _not_ going to lose her."
"So, you're just going to go and fight him, no plan?" asked Trowa.
Duo shrugged. "What else can I do? If we try to pull a fast one, he'll kill Hilde. For now, I can only try to train and be ready to crush Gem," he finished, eyes glinting. The God Of Death was definitely here.
