Hi! This fic is a result of watching way too much of the android saga from DBZ and Outlaw Star... I'd like to give special thanks to AnimeCat for her support on this fic. ^_^ Just a reminder: Reviews=More chapters!
Chapter One
A.C. 195
"What's going on? Why are you doing this, mama?"
"You know why, Himitsu. He's coming."
The girl's eyes widened. "You're going with me, right?"
"No. There's not enough time, and the escape capsule is only designed for one person. Do you understand your mission, Himitsu?"
"Go to earth, get my Gundam, and help the others." She recited. "But you'll die if you stay here!"
"I know. I have no choice." A light blinked on the console. "He's almost here. You must leave now."
"No! I won't leave you here..." Her voice was silenced as the scientist sealed the escape pod shut and typed in the commands to launch it.
"Goodbye, my Himitsu."
A safe distance away, Himitsu watched in terror from the small window in the escape pod as the Gundam destroyed the colony.
"No...mama..." she whispered. "You should have gone instead of me...Once you were safe, you could always rebuild me..."
Its damage done, the Wing Zero Gundam moved on to destroy the next colony. "I hate you!" Himitsu screamed at it. "Mama said your name was...Quatre Raberba Winner..." She had seen a picture of him once, in a report about the Gundams. He was a delicate-looking boy, with pale blond hair and deep blue eyes. "When I get to Earth," Himitsu growled. "I'm going to kill you."
Himitsu sighed and pulled up her sleeve to look at the tiny code emblazoned on her left arm. HR-L6-001. Himitsu Rei, built on colony L6, model number 001. She was an android. Not just any android, mind you, the first ever prototype built by Dr. Akura Rei.
Dr. Rei, an acquaintance of the other five scientists, had built a Gundam of her own, but lacked a pilot for it. L6 was a sparsely populated colony, used mostly for scientific studies of outer space. So Dr. Rei shipped the Gundam to a remote location on Earth and built Himitsu as a pilot for it.
Himitsu was not yet complete enough to function at the time the other Gundam pilots were sent to Earth, and Dr. Rei wasn't planning to send her to Earth until she had finished inputting her personality traits. But Quatre's arrival had changed that. Himitsu would be sent to Earth unfinished.
The powerful Gundam was just a speck among the stars now. Himitsu turned off her power supply. It could be a very long time before she reached Earth, and she would definitely need the energy later.
A.C. 197, after the events of Endless Waltz
Himitsu's power supply was automatically turned back on. She looked at the keyboard console. "Re-entering the atmosphere..." The view outside her window was astonishing. The brilliant blue earth hung just below her, giving light to the otherwise endless blackness of space.
She looked at the date on the screen. "A.C. 197? Has it been that long? I've been drifting in space for two Earth years...The war could be over by now..." Her eyes narrowed as she remembered what had happened. "Quatre Raberba Winner...I'll kill you..."

Duo flipped through the channels again, unable to find anything worth watching.
"You know..." He said to Heero, who was sitting next to him on the couch looking just as bored, "Sometimes I almost miss it."
Heero looked at him, knowing what he was referring to. A life of pain and continual killing. "Almost." He replied quietly. Since the war had ended, Heero had tried hard to forget his past as the perfect soldier and live a normal life. Well, as normal of a life as he could have with Duo around.
Suddenly, a news bulletin flashed across the television screen. "We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you this special breaking news story," the newscaster said, "An unidentified mobile suit has been reported to be attacking an area in Neo-Arabia..."
The screen showed various pictures of a Gundam-style mobile suit attacking.
"Oh shit..." Duo breathed. "This is not good."
Heero was staring intently at the screen. "They said Neo-Arabia, didn't they? That looks like...Quatre's place..."
Without another word, the two pilots got up from the couch.
