Chapter 2

"Hey Ami, how was your date yesterday?" Minako asked as she sat down with her at a table during lunch. "Had fun huh?"

"Eh?"

"You know who we're talking about… that tall, dark and handsome guy you were with yesterday?"

Makoto said when she opened up her lunch box.

"Eh?"

"Common Ami, spill, you ditched us yesterday to go with that guy to the library remember..." Rei added. "So… how was he?"

"Eh? Oh you mean Trowa-kun? We just went to the library to finish up our science report on the stars diagram…its really amazing how an American and Danish people work together and found out how stars are really like…."

"AMI! We didn't ask you about the scientists, we were asking about how your date was!" Rei said.

"Eh? There was no date. Two students working on a project, that's it." Ami said as she searched around for Usagi. "Hey have any of you guys seen Usagi lately today?"

"Come to think of it… no I didn't." Makoto said as she looked around the dinning hall.

"Meat ball head is probably in detention because she talked too much." Rei commented.

Suddenly Anostu, a friend of Relena, ran up to the four girls, "Usagi… hospital… Relena… Heero… Duo…" He panted as he said it. "Come with me… Federation Naval hospital."

"DUO?!" Rei gasped as she dropped her fork onto the floor and shot out of her seat.

"Let's go!" Minako said as she grabbed her book bag case.

"So I see that we are constantly always one step behind them aren't we Zechs?"

On the view screen, "Their true objectives are still unclear to us, but if you want to take the chance, I suggest you watch in the Mediterranean Sea."

"Maybe its time for us to give a little help to the Federation Armed forces." Treize said as he looked at his rifle he was holding.

"We could send the Middle East Aries Unit… but considering the obvious difference in the Mobile suits performances it will be quite difficult for us to cooperate with the federation Armed forces."

"It seems to me that you want to go, do not disappoint me."

"Treize! I…"

"What is it?" Treize said as he suddenly pointed the gun to a peasant and triggered the bullet of death. "Is there something you need to tell me?"

"I… Yes, Tuskino Usagi has not been found yet, but Tuxedo Kamen is still under our control."

Treize looked thoughtful then said, "Find her and then bring her to me, understood?"

Zechs saluted to him and nodded. "Yes sir."

"I'll be waiting for the good news." With a flash of the screen, Treize was gone.

"Relena-sama!"

As she turned around she saw 5 people coming up to her. "Relena-sama do you know where Usagi is?" A girl with blue hair said as they came up to her.

"I… think so… she is in room 45, on the 50th floor. Go find her." She said as she entered the hospital. "Tsukino Usagi right?"

"Yeah, thanks!" Rei said as they rushed through the doors and climbed onto the elevator.

"Hmm… interesting boy." The doctor said as he checked his pulse. "Breathing rate: 27, Pulse, 57, Body temperature, 34.5 degrees and rising… and numerous bones broken."

Heero closed his eyes as he thought, "Am I captured… Third Federation Naval Hospital… District J-B South, 50th floor… Intensive Care Unit… Tsukino Usagi."

"Major Sally, a call."

"Thanks." Sally Po went to the phone as she answered. "The boy had this disk… I thought the Federation main Computer can open up any files."

"I'm thinking that he is one of the secret agents' rebels." The doctor said as he took out something in a small capsule, containing clear liquid in it. "Shall I used the relaxant drug on him?"

"No I do not want a that strong poison on that boy!" Major Sally said.

"Now then…time to visit the patient." The braided boy said as he entered the hospital. "Rei!"

"Hmm… now this one is moving slowing than any mobile suit." Zechs observed.

"Lt. Zechs, are there so many types of Mobile dolls?" A soldier asked as he flickered on a monitor to get a closer look at the mobile suit that was moving along a very slow pace.

"This one wont show up at the ceremony at Corsica… it heads straight at the Federation doorsteps then backs away. Its okay if we can still view its objectives." Zechs said as he took a closer look at the monitor. 'What is its objectives…."

"So unprepared!" Chang Wu Fei declared as he destroys the mobile suits in its way to demolish the Indus Supplement Base. "So disappointing…"

"Heero… Heero!" Usagi yelled out as she sat up and gasped onto her breathing control.

"Are you alright dear?" A nurse asked as concern came over her.

"I'm fine… do you know where Heero is?" She asked as she sat to the side of her bed and glanced down at her arm, where the bullet was taken out. 'Duo Maxwell…'

"Oh yes him, Major Sally and a doctor is with him in the Intensive Care Unit… but if you want to see him, I think that is possible. Is he your boyfriend?" The nurse smiled at her as she helped her to a wheelchair but she refused.

"No… he's just a friend of mine." She smiled back as she walked to his room and opened the door. "Heero Yuy… Operation Meteor… gundam pilot 01 of Wing Gundam." She whispered softly.

"What did you say? Do you need anything?" The nurse asked as she helped her.

"No thank you, this would be all, please leave me." As the nurse left, Usagi looked around the room, she saw a little camera on the corner. 'Duo Maxwell…'

"Ai-yah! Its Usagi!" Duo said, as he looked right back into her blue eyes. ' The gundam pilot.'

Usagi looked at the monitor then at Heero's closed eyes then back into the monitor. "Hmmm…"

She brushed up hand upon his cold face as she reached the steel straps that held him down; she pushed down a button and released him within its grasp. "Heero, wake up." She said as she saw his eyes open and stared coldly at her. "Usagi…"

"Duo is here, leave here at once." She said to him as she tried to help him up, but he struck back his hand. "Don't let Major Sally and the rest of the OZ soldiers get you."

"What are you doing?" Duo shouted out as he blasted into the room.

"Get out! Duo, take care of Heero! Your gundams will be right outside! Leave before Major Sally and Relena are here!" She shouted as she then collapsed onto the floor as the pain of the bullet thrived through her.

"But how did you know all about this!" Duo shouted as he grabbed hold of Heero and was about to jump out of the hole. "Hey are you okay? Oh yeah… I'm sorry that I shot you."

She smiled weakly at him then gestured them to leave. "Hurry… there isn't much time."

"No… take her with us." Heero said as he got up himself. "Take Usagi."

"What are you crazy?" Duo shouted as he heard a rumbling of pounding people coming to him.

"Fine, but if she is one of the OZ soldiers, its your fault!" He shouted as he helped her up.

As they ran through the corridor, Heero kept his eyes on Usagi. As they reached a window, Duo threw a bomb at it as glass shattered into a million pieces. "JUMP!"

Duo jumped first as he reached mid-air he threw open a pen and turned into a little helicopter fan above him. "We don't have time!"

Heero closed his eyes and plunged down into the rocky beach below his death. "You coming!"

Usagi looked back at the running doctors and soldiers then closed her eyes and jumped to the white sand that awaited her. 'Ami… Rei… Makoto… Minako… I'm sorry."

"HEERO! NO! HEERO!" Relena screamed out his name as she saw what happened to them.

"You idiot! Open the parachute!" Duo shouted after him.

Suddenly Heero opened up his eyes and was about to open up his parachute, but when he did it was too late. He bounced off the rocky cliffs and onto the beach then stands up as he brushes off dust. "Relena…"

Usagi landed on her sneakers, but the gravitation pull of the Earth was too much so she fell flat on her behind. 'Damn!' She thought as she got up and ran with the rest of the guys.

At the Corsica base, Berker said, "I'm going to see Lt. Zechs. I'll be back in two hours."
"I guess I made it in time for the ceremony then." Zechs said as he stepped into the base.

"But, Sir, this is too dangerous!" A soldier cried out.
"Stupid fool! This is the best way to show our commitment to both our enemy and the Specials! Who needs help from the damn Specials?! This way, we can tempt the enemy, and they'll emerge right before us!"

"But Lt. Zechs is not going to be satisfied…" The soldier said timidly.

Commander Bonapa looked at the frighten soldier. "For them, war is just one of their amusements. They are making trouble all over the place because they want to fight more. There's no need to be afraid. Just stay calm, and we can avoid unnecessary casualties. I'll show the damn Specials that there is a way to achieve victory without spilling blood!"

"Lt. Zechs!"

"Berker! Long time to see!" Zechs said as he greeted his friend off the motorbike.

"Lt. Zechs, I'm glad to see you again."

"Do you have a suit I can use?"

"I would like you to see something." Berker said as he presented him with Tallgeese.

Zechs came up to the suit and gazed at is greatness. "Its huge."

"It looks like a prototype of all the Mobile Suits. It's larger than Leo in all dimensions. It's an old machine, but... When you sent us the data on Gundam, it reminded me of this one, which the local engineers call a 'museum exhibit'." Berker continued.
"You're from Corsica too, right?" Zechs asked.
"I used to be an engineer myself. This machine is the only one having features comparable to those of the Gundam's. I don't know the details of how it was designed. The only thing I know is that, in order to strengthen the structural integrity, the Mobile Suit has to be this large. Engineers in the past decided that there was no need for a stronger body, so they came up with the current standard size of Mobile Suit. Tallgeese -- I believe that was its name." Berker said as he looked at the admiration on Zech's face.
"If we can somehow complete this machine, do you think we can compete with Gundam?"

"Please take this with you." He said.

"You're thinking of dying for me, aren't you?"

"You told me once: Fight for the future generation... That is my principal now." The old man said

in a proud tone.

"You are much braver than myself now. How many can you handle?" Zechs said with a smile.

"As you told me, I'm always prepared for the maximum number of enemies."

"There will be four. The other one is missing. That's all I know. Sorry, Berker."

"Don't be, that's good enough. Lt. Zechs..."

"The gundam has arrived…"

"Specials! Confirming enemy attack. Everyone, come with me!" Berker yelled out.

"But there's only one." A soldier replied.

"Never mind! One may be enough..."

Trowa said, "In terms of strategy against fewer enemies, it is generally regarded as effective to

cut off their retreat, surround them, and lay down intense fire. Surround and exterminate... The

enemy commanders' decision should be considered a textbook maneuver. But... He should have

waited to see what his enemy is capable of doing.

"How could it be?! What a mess!" Commander Bonapa yelled out.

"Help the commander's ship retreat! The rest of you, keep attacking the enemy!" Berker ordered. "Yes, sir!" The mobile suits pilots replied.
"You bastard...!" Commander Bonapa hissed at him.
"The enemy shall destroy us all. Make sure to obtain all necessary data from the battle. For the future generation!" Berker yelled.
"Forgive me..."
"Get close to it! There's no other way."
"Yes sir!"

A soldier reported, "It's all set. ready to go anytime."
"How's Bonapa doing?" Zechs asked him.
A soldier went up to Lt. Zechs and said, "He seems to be fine. Lt. Zechs, I'll fight with you in the Leo!"
"No. Don't give me such a hard time. To save Tallgeese... I can barely do it at this moment. Sorry, but be patient for now."
"Yes, sir."

More of the battle continues, but Heavyarms and the Mobile suits are unknown that they are being watched very carefully. Suddenly Heavyarms run out of ammo and stops to fight.

"Looks like it's out of bullets! Great! We have a chance!" A soldier cried out.
Berker looked at the advanced mobile suit and said to him, "Don't assume anything!"
"I'll show you what Specials are capable of!" The soldier said as he attacked Heavyarms.
"You fool! Why do you have to make such a mistake now?!" Berker said to the soldier.
Trowa awaits his death as he thinks, " I guess this is my end...?"
"D I E !"

Suddenly a blast of mystic bubbles covered up the battlefield as the mobile suit that the soldier was using to attack Heavyarms froze in mid combat.

Trowa looked through his view screen and saw that there was s figure within the fog but couldn't distinguish who it was… "Could it… no, it cant be."

More mobile suits appeared in the scene as fury fumed out of the ears of Berker. Then the base is then under a heavy fire.

"Come on! Damn it! I want to see their strength, before I die..." Berker said as he gripped onto the controls of his mobile doll.
"I'm sorry." A 15- yr old boy said as he gripped Berker within his Sandrock's twin blades.
"You won't be forgotten." Zech said as he looked at his proud friend.

"Quatre-sama..."
"Leave him to me." He replied to Maganac.
Maganac looked at Heavyarms that was covered in this mysterious white fog, and then to his master, "That one seems to be out of bullets."
Quatre looked at the gundam then told Maganac, "The pilot won't rely on firearms anyway…" Then suddenly he sees Zech flies away in a shuttle. "Damn! That's the…" As Trowa saw a distraction, he attacked Sandrock, unknown that they were on the same side.


"What should we do?"

"Should I…"

"No, let them be, I'm sure they will resolve it one way or another. Don't worry."

The girls smiled at the battling gundams as a girl with loose blond hair looked at Sandrock.

'Quatre… be careful.'

'Trowa… I'm sorry, but that is all I can do.' A girl within the group thought as she watched them.


"This is wrong. Wrong... " Quatre steps out at the hatch of Sandrock. "We must stop fighting against each other!"
Trowa steps out of Heavyarms with his hands raised above him.
Quatre looked at him with a smile on his face, "Please stop! I'm the one who came out first to show my trust in you."

In the hanger, Usagi looked out into the open sea, next to where Heero is.
"There it is. It's all yours, now. At least, show me a little appreciation. What are you doing?" Duo said as he sees Heero is setting his own broken bone. " I've had enough. Who else treats his own broken bones? Please… I just had lunch."

"Don't worry Duo, Heero is strong." Usagi said as she walked towards him. "Relena-sama…"

"Yeah, I've been wanting to ask you, how the heck do you know all about Operation Meteor and the gundams? Seriously…"

"I… don't know, I don't even know myself to tell you."

"Usagi?"

"Eh?" She turned around and saw an old man in a tacky Hawaii shirt and funky black glasses. "H… Howard?"

"Usagi! What are you doing here? This is no place for a girl here."

She gave him a weak smile as she replied, "Don't worry, I think I'll-" Suddenly she stopped short as darkness covered her eyes…. 'Heero…'

"Damn it, where is Usagi!" Minako said as she walked away from the battlefield.

"She should be here… but she doesn't know what we know." Rei said as they reached the exit.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Four soldiers said as they appeared from the sides of the exit and pointed their guns at them.

"Uh-oh… um we got lost and we got here … and we didn't know how to get out, and so if you be so kind to let us out, we greatly appreciate it." Makoto said with a fake smile.

Suddenly a man came behind the soldiers and looked at the girls. "Very believable story."

"But its true!" Ami said as a soldier began to surround her.

"Commander, should we kill them?"

"No… I think I'll have some fun with them then hand them over to col. Treize." He said as he touched the gentle cheek of the frightened Ami.

"Hey! Get your hands off her!"

"Who!"

Two figures came as dust covered their features, but as they were blown away, their identities are revealed. "Trowa!"

"Let her go." Quatre said as he approached the soldiers. "Now."

"And what if I don't…" The commander said as he eyed Ami. "Why is she your girlfriend?"

"… this is none of your concern, now let her go!"

"NEVER!" The soldier yelled out as he thrust his rifle at the back of Minako, who screamed out in pain. "Run Quatre!"

"No!" Quatre lunged towards him as he fired strokes of unbelievable punches at them as Trowa jumped in the air, performing a semi circle then plunging down and kicked the commander, who landed on his butt. "Get them!"

When Ami was out of their grasp, she saw a soldier trying to shoot at Trowa, but she kicked the gun up high and when it landed in her hands, she pointed it at him as he backed away. As Trowa realized what she done, he nodded at her as she smiled back.

"They must die!" Makoto yelled out. "For the sake of the future generation…" She said as she elbowed a soldier in its face then tripped him on their feet.

As the soldiers retreated, Minako didn't notice that her leg was injured. "Minako-san!" Quatre ran over to her. "You… you're bleeding! Hold on…"

"Its okay Q-" She gasped onto her breath as she collapsed onto the floor. "Ugh…"

"We must get out of here." Rei said as she helped Minako up and searched for the exit.

"But how?" Makoto said as she held onto Minako. "Hang on…"

"Trowa, Quatre, take your gundams before OZ find you." Ami said as she helped the other girls lead out of the battlefield. "Hurry, you don't have much time."

"But… how do you know about the gundams?" Quatre asked as he looked up from bandaging her injuries. "You… are a rebel within the colonies…?"
"I… can't tell you right now, but in time, you will know." She replied. "Take care…"

'Ami…' Trowa looked at them as they escaped the mobile suits. "Let's go Quatre."

Aboard Zechs' ship…
"A report from the Corsica Base just came in. There are no more signs of the enemy at the site. The damage is as much as 55% to all the facilities." A soldier told Lt. Zechs.

"Berker... Thank you for the data on the two new Mobile Suits." Zechs thought.
"Lt. Zechs, I have the Victoria Base on the line."
On viewscreen, a woman with purple hair appeared, "Long time no see, Lt. Zechs."
"You look well, Noin." Zechs replied.

"I hear lots of stories about you. The fame of the 'Lightning Baron' has reached even here in Victoria." She said as she screen switched to the combat hall.
"I don't like such a name. Fame makes you a visible target for enemies. It also makes your colleagues expect too much from you."
"Sometimes fame is good. I wonder what I'm famous for...?" She said with a smile.
Zechs said, "You are famous for your excellence in educating and training space pilots. Your graduates are always regarded as the best. But, Noin, you used to hate war. How come a person like you became such an excellent instructor at the Academy?"
"I am honored that you remember I dislike war. I just... like space..."

When Zechs' plane landed on the Victoria Base, he sees that students of the Academy are graduating… 'just like when he and Noin was.' Zechs thought as memories filled his mind.

As the two old friends gotten acquainted with one another, they were unaware that they were in a great surprise by one gundam pilot.

"What? What happened?!" Noin yelled out as she reached the control room of the base.

"Enemy attack!" A soldier replied as he monitored the screen. "The dormitories are bombed."

"This is terrible…" Noin muttered in disbelief. "Search for the enemy! Find him and you may open fire! Enemy Mobile suits are around! The Leo Unit is to be advance!" She yelled out the orders.

"Is Lt. Zechs all right?"

"The south wing of the base, is not damaged." A soldier reported.

"The enemy's objective must be to destroy the Taurus'. Get them off this base!" She said into a microphone. "We can't allow the enemy to attack us! I will take command of the Mobile Suit unit!"
Noin jumps into a Mobile Suit. "Where did it go? Turn all the thermal sensors on the base on!!" As her screen gets the results, she sees the enemy. "There it is! Anyone available, join me! Prepare the Aries'! Chase the enemy!" Then multiples of Mobile suits starts to join up.

Noin finds Wu Fei, who's escaping on a motorbike. "Stop! Or I'll shoot you! There's no way you can get away from me. Are there anymore...? The Gundam!
She then alerts the control room. "There's a chance of a Gundam in that direction. Prepare the Space Beam Cannon!"
"But it's not designed for a ground battle." A soldier protested.
"Never mind that! One shot is all I need!" Noin said back to the control room.
Zechs sees her in her Aries and thinks, "Noin is chasing the enemy?"
"You are heading for that forest ahead of you? I won't let you!" She shouted at him. "Stop, you dirty conspirator! Going after pilots instead of Mobile Suits? Noin then grabs control of her controls and locks target on Wu Fei, and sending a blast of the beam cannon on him. Wu Fei gets thrown off the bike and surrenders. "What kind of man are you?"

"I know that line from somewhere." Wu Fei thought as he raised his arms.
"A child? It can't be!" Noin said as she looks at him. "That child single handedly destroyed our base?"

Wu Fei looks to who he surrenders to and sees, "A woman...? Then it's not over yet!"

"And he's alone... Around 14 or 15 years old?" Then she sees something on the viewscreen] is that him? Suddenly the gundam Shenlong stands up with Wu Fei in it.

"I found the enemy! FIRE!" The soldier shouted out as he prepared to open fire.

"No wait!" Noin said into the microphone that connected to all the other Mobile suits.

"But Lt. Noin… why?"

Wu Fei looks at the woman as he heard what she said, "She's a woman, that's why!" Then with a flick of the controls, Shenlong thrust out his open arms and crashed into two mobile suits.

"Bastard!"

In the Mobile suits hanger, soldiers are trying to take the Taurus' out of the hanger as soon as possible. "Hurry! As soon as the loading of the Taurus' are complete, the cargo plane will take off!"

Zechs appears in the hanger as he watches the soldiers work. "The enemy is not heading this way. Calm down.

"We will take care of matters here concerning the base. Lt Zechs, please move your plane sitting in front of cargo plane #1.

"Even if it is a direct order from Noin, I will not obey. Do not bring the Taurus out."

Soldier looks at Zechs then back to the cargo planes. "Never mind."

"At this moment, I am more in control than you are. As long as you make a decision with a controlled mind, you won't have to regret making that decision after, even if that decision turns out to be a bad one." Zechs told him.
The cargo plane filled with Mobile suits leaves the hangar and take off.
"Move! What the... Aries!" Noin shouted out as she pounds the controls.
Wu Fei spots the plane at a distance, and shoots it down. "Weaklings…"
A soldier in hangar sees what happens to the plane and screams out, "The Taurus'!"

"WOMAN! Are you listening to me! WOMAN! You underestimated me because of my age. You proved yourself to be inexperienced. I do not kill weaklings and women!" Wu Fei yelled out.
Noin glared at Wu Fei as she screamed out "Shit! S H I T!!!"

On the ship's hanger…
Heero, sitting on Wing, mutters to himself, "Insulation: 2800...? It can be fixed." 'Usagi…'
"Hey you! Hey, listen! Why do you have to be so stubborn? I told you it'd be much easier to let us repair your Mobile Suit along with mine!" Duo shouted at him.
"I just don't want any strangers to touch my Suit. It's that all pal. He said without looking at him.

"No matter how good an engineer you are, without part, there is no way you can repair this. Machines are not the same as your broken arms and legs. You understand?"

Heero keeps on typing on this computer as if he heard nothing from him. "Why do I even bother?"

"What was I thinking? Antisocial, uncooperative, unpredictable... God, I hate this guy! If I were you, man, I'd hate my personality so much that I would shoot myself!" Duo yelled out in agony.

"HEY!"
"What? If you're asking for my help, it's too late." ]

"Could you keep it down…" Heero said to him as he returned to his computer and kept on typing.

"It would take a miracle to fix that thing you know?" Duo said as he got up to his mobile suit.

"It would take a miracle for you, but I can handle it."

"Well… excuse me for being a mere mortal." He said as he got back down and went to the ship's quarters. "I'm going to check out Usagi-san, coming?"

"…" Heero kept his gaze at the computer screen without acknowledging what he said.

Back on the cliff near the hospital…

"Heero! Please… come back and kill him! HEERO!" Relena shouted out into the dawning light.

At a political meeting, plans on dealing with the rebel colonies are plotted out, but Mr. Darlin opposes to these plans.

"They want to seek peace more than us!" Mr. Darlin said as he got up.

"Thank you for sharing you opinion, Mr. Vice Foreign Minister Darlin, you may leave now."

"But don't you see! Isn't it time you have realized that the real dangerous men are you people…"

"I THINK YOU HAVE SAID ENOUGH…" An angry representative from a colony growled at him.

"Assembling the Armed forces at the Lagrange Point? I could not agree more." Treize said as he bathes in a tub, talking to Lady Une.

"And leaking information from there would be very efficient."

"As always… our Lt. Zechs is always doing an excellent job…"

Treize turns to Lady Une as she stifles… "Now about Vice Minister Darlin… and Tsukino Usagi…"

"As you wish... I will prepare you a bath with rose-fragrance next time." Lady Une said.

Treize turns around and relaxes within his tub… "Usagi…princess of the Moon kingdom. "

"Heero?"

He looks down at from fixing his mobile suit and saw Usagi. "What are you doing here?"

"I… want to tell you… be careful when fighting with OZ." She said as she looked down.

"I do not need you to tell me what to do. You are supposed to be in bed." He said as he returned working on his mobile suit. "Go to sleep."

"But… I got to tell you-" Suddenly she collapsed onto the floor as Heero leaped from his gundam and brought her to his arms. "Heero… I-"

"Usagi…" He glared out to the night skies as he carried her back into the room and covered her within her blanket. "Good night."

Duo came out of his dormitory and saw that Wing Gundam took off. "WHAT?! I can't believe this! What a guy! He fixed that shit in one night?" He shouted in disbelief.

"Oh no! He took the parts from this mobile suit!"

"What?! I trusted you! TRAITOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Usagi woke up in her bed as she saw a glimpse of Wing Gundam fly by her. "Heero…"

A ship within the earth, Noin lands her Mobile suit upon its hanger.

A man with blond hair comes over to her as he greets her with warmth. "Noin, you alright?"
"I'm fine. I am just… torn apart, both physically and mentally." She said as she got off her MS.

Zechs looked at her purple eyes and said to her, "Noin, I'm just glad you're alive."

"Because if I died in the line of duty, I would be respectfully promoted two ranks ahead of you?" She said with a small laugh, then Zechs laughed too. "You seem alright to me."

"Zechs, let me join you in your fight against the gundam pilots, I have to wipe away my disgrace."

He looked at her with admiration then said, " I have to get back at those Gundams, too. It looks like I can no longer just let them do whatever they want."

"Zechs…"

"Besides, I will feel more secure with you supporting me." He said with a smile.

"Thank you…." She said as she looked out into the skies. "Millardo Peacecraft." She whispered.

"Mr. Vice Foregin Minister Darlin, it is my honor to escort you back to Earth." Lady Une said as she helps them to their seats.

"… I have nothing to say to the Specials' officers." He said as he sat down in his seat. "Relena, take a good look how Earth looks from above…."

"Yeah well, you better take a good look from here too…" Lady Une muttered.

"Target: North Pacific OZ supply base... Mission acknowledged."

In a spaceport, on a colony, a man sees Mr. Darlin and approaches him.

"Mr. Darlin, now I know the stories about Earth's economic crisis are just a rumor, but they could afford to launch a space shuttle just for you and your daughter…"

" Those kind of rumors are rather innocent ones. But the rumors spreading within the Federation are serious ones." He replied as he got through him.

" Why would the people of the Earth believe we would start a war against them... The people of the colonies live in such a peaceful society. Why?" Relena thought in her hotel room.


In a conference room, a man at a counter talks to Lady Une, "Excuse me my lady, but your diplomatic credentials have not been officially accredited by the Federation Government. Therefore, you are technically not eligible to attend this meeting."
Lady Une looks at the man and said, "I understand. But I would still like a report of the meeting."
"Of course."
"Thank you. Then I'll excuse myself. " She said as she leaves the room.


Then outside conference room, Lady Une fiddles with an electronic device, and puts it on a drawer. 'Good bye… Relena Peacecraft!' She thought.

"In ten minutes it will be finished... No, just beginning..." Lady Une said to herself.

Relena arrives at a room and knock on it, " It's Relena."

"What is it?" A man answered.
"I'm going out shopping." She said to him.
The man looks at her then said, "Please be careful. I'll arrange a bodyguard for you."
"No, there's no need. This place is much safer than the Earth."

"Huh… this looks likes her's." Relena said as she picks up a device that belongs to Lady Une.

Then Inside conference room, a man at the table stand up with fury, "The whole thing is just ridiculous. Operation Meteor, the new Mobile Suits... Everything they say, we've never heard of."
"Mr. Darlian, Why do you think the Federation suspects us of this?" Another man ask.

Then outside building, Lady Une looks at her watch and started to count…" Ten seconds left."
Suddenly Relena rushes out of the building and finds Lady Une.
"Excuse me. Did you forget this?" She said as she hands her the device.

"AHH! What the hell!" She grabs the device and throws it into the conference room.

Suddenly that little device exploded into a great ball of fire.

"FATHER!" Relena yelled out as she ran into the building. "Father! Can you hear me?"

"Get that little bitch! If she gets inside, all our plans are screwed up! Find her, then kill her!"

Then inside the demolished conference room, a frantic Relena search through the ashes for her father.

"Father! Father! Where are you?"
"Relena…" A voice grunted out as he tried to reach his daughter.
"Father! Father!" Relena sees him and rushes over to him as she brush off dust.
"Is Vice-Minister Darlian alive?" A man in a mask asks them.
Another man answers, "They're all dead."

The man picks up the unconscious Mr. Darlian as they carry them out. "Relena-sama, please come with us.
"What are you doing with him?" She said in a quivering tone.
"All right, lets get Vice-Minister Darlian to a safer place!" He shouted out to another man.
"Yes, sir."
Suddenly an OZ Soldier spots them and shouts out "You there! What are you doing?"

"RUN!" A new voice yelled out as 4 dark figures jumped from the ceiling and landed on the ground, surrounding the vice foreign minister. "Get away from here!"

"But… who are you?" The man who was holding Mr. Darlin asked them.

A girl around the same age as Relena with loose blonde hair, looked at the frightened people and said, "Don't worry, we do not work to promote injustice and war. Hurry and bring the vice foreign minister to a safe place! To the same with his daughter Relena!"

The men nodded at the 4 girls with gratitude then escaped to the exits.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!" An OZ soldier asked them as he points his rifle at them.

Makoto smiled at them, then leaped into the air and as she landed, she kicked the rifle out of his hands and punched him to the wall.

"Call Lady-" Suddenly his communicator was thrown off with a high kick from Ami's leg. "Now you can't call!" The OZ soldier looked at her with grave and lunged towards her, striking her with every move he knows, but he missed her by mere inches. "Mercury… Bubbles Blast!"

"What the hell!" The OZ soldiers were suddenly met with a green lighting… that soon formed in a picture of a dragon. "Oh holy S H I T!!!!!!!!!!!!" They cried out in pain as they were electrocuted.

In a garage, one man holds a firm grip on the frightened Relena, "Please let go of me."

"You must come with us. I can't just leave you here in the midst of the enemy." He replied.
Relena looked at her unconscious father and said, "Don't worry about it. What are you going to do with my father?"

"I don't have time to explain right now. Get in."

As they got in the car and speeds away, OZ trails them in a fiery race.

"Ready?"

The dark figures nodded to and shouted out some words as elements of fire and lighting struck the car that was pursuing the Vice Minister.
"What the fuck!" Lady Une yelled out as she pulled out another gun and shot it to where the fire and lighting came. Then her attention was turned to the car… that seems vanished.


Inside the car, a man helps Relena with some medication with a syringe. "Here this will help calm you down."
"Please take my father to a hospital at once!" Relena pleaded with her watery blue eyes.
Another man turned to her and said, " A hospital is even more dangerous."
"But…how? That can't be."

"They would've sent assassins to every hospital nearby. There are very good doctors in our organization." The man who gave her the medication said to her. "Don't worry."
"Who are you?" She asked with a hint of fright in her voice.
Suddenly Mr. Darlian starts to mutter, "Relena..."
"Father!" She cried out as she came to his side.
"Listen to me Relena..." He whispered softly.
"Don't talk father." She cried softly on his shoulder.
Mr. Darlian grasped onto her hand as he was about to reveal her true identity, "Please stay calm. I am... not... your real father... Your real name is... Relena Peacecraft. The heiress of the house of Peacecraft, the once highly admired and peaceful monarchy."

"What are you talking about?" She said in shock.
"I was a young member of the Kingdom's senate. But the Kingdom was attacked and destroyed by the Federation. We were among the few survivors. I adopted you as a baby to hide your true identity." Mr. Darlin continued…
Relena looked at her father as she whispered, "That can't be true."
"OZ. Beware of OZ..." He said as he passed out.

"Father! Father! NO!!!!!" Relena screamed out in terror. "Father…."
"He's just unconscious. You need to rest also." A man reassured her.


At the Naval base, Howard had just finish up on repairing his mobile suit.
"Thanks man! I really appreciate it!" Duo said with a smile.
Howard looked at his young friend and replied, "No need to thank me. Just pay me as usual. You're my biggest client you know."

"We've managed to get it ready for the next mission."

"By the way… how is Usagi?"

"Eh? Oh yeah the girl… I checked up on her last night and I found her okay. Don't worry."

"That's not what I am worried about… it's just that…"

"What?" Duo asked with concern.

He smiled at him as he patted his back. "It's really nothing, concentrate on your next battle."


At the Maganac Base, Quatre is by the window as he watches Trowa leaves. "Do you have to go? I won't ask you to stay. But at least tell me your name. My name is Quatre Raberba Winner."
He looked back to the window and said, "I don't have such a presentable name. But you can call me Trowa. Trowa Barton, that is." And with a nod he headed off.
Quatre smiled at him as he leaves, " Thank you, Trowa. Good luck."
Suddenly Rasid comes in and alerts him "Quatre-sama. Are you sure it's alright to just let him go like that? Now that he knows where our base is..."
Quatre looked through the window and sees the back of him as he replies to his worried comrade, "Don't worry. He doesn't seem to be a guy with a big mouth."
Rasid goes up to him as he asks," What if he comes back with enemy troops?"
"I'd like that. I'll be able to see him again then." He said to him as he heads out of the room.

In a forest, Heero is on a silver rock, as he checks out his Gundam. "All systems normal. Heading to the target point to execute the mission."

Then as he looks into the open skies, the memories of a certain girl filled his mind. "Relena…"

In the ship, Zechs looks at the Mobile suit as Noin is by his side.
Zechs called out to his friend, "I'm counting on you, Otto!"
Otto looked back at Lt. Zechs and replied, "Leave it to me. The staff of this factory is the best. We'll upgrade your mobile suit with great care."
Noin takes a look at the aged suit and stared at Zechs, "Are you sure something designed more than twenty years ago is still even usable?"
Zechs looks back into those familiar concerned eyes and said, "This mobile suit is probably better than any of OZ's newer models."
"I see... Could it really be?"

Back in the garage, Relena awakes and finds her heart broken. "Father…"

"Please accept my deepest condolences... Had we detected the Federation's conspiracy sooner this would never have happened." One of the men said as he found her awake.

Suddenly Lady Une appears on the screen, and with a reporter asking her questions about the kidnapping of Mr. Darlin and Relena Darlin.

" We are investigating that possibility now. The motive is unclear at this moment, but if this incident represents the overall will of the colonies. I must say that the Federation will have to consider certain retaliatory measures, including the use of arms." She said as she turns to leave.

A man switched off the TV as he pounded his fist at the remote. "Damn it! They turn it into an act of terrorism."
Relena got up and screamed at them. "She's right to call you terrorists! You let my father die by not taking him to a hospital."
Another man got up and tried to calm her down, "I explained the hospitals..."

"That's enough." The one who covered Mr. Darlin with a white cloth, "I sincerely apologize."

Suddenly Relena spots a gun as she lunged towards it and grabbed it into her hands.

"What are you doing Ms. Peacecraft!"

"OZ was the one who killed my father! I shall revenge his death if it is the last thing I will do!" She shouted out in rage.

"Don't be silly! OZ could kill you before you even get near their base!" A man said as he tried to take the gun away from her, but failed to do so.

As Relena closed her eyes, flashbacks of her times with Heero were launched into her mind. "Heero…Heero, I want to see you again…"

"Eh? Heero Yuy?" A man of old age said as he came to her.
Relena: Do you... Do you know Heero Yuy?

In Noin's Apartment, Zechs is on a comfy couch with Noin.
"That lady Une is a very good actor." Zechs commented as he watched the TV.
Noin takes a look at her then towards him, "What do you think happened to Vice-Minister Darlian? He must have been killed."
"But Relena..." Zechs said that name with familiarity.
Noin gaze upon her friend as she thinks, "Open your heart to me... You are a man with too many secrets."

"GUNDAM!"

'Time to die….'

As Relena sat down to talk with Dr. J; he starts to tell her how he trained him, as a very young boy, to be a terrorist. "He is to be our voice… to kill all of the federation."

"But… it's so cruel!"

"OZ has tried to take away our freedom in the colonies, then after that, he will take over the Federation under its treachery!" He said to her. "Back in time, Heero Yuy was a great leader of the colonies, but one group… by the name of OZ dislike him and killed him, leaving the colonies in a great disorder." Dr. J continued.

"But in some way… they stop in a middle of their evil plans… and I wonder why… could it be another allies forces?" He wondered. "But that's what we have to prevent. OZ…."
Relena looked at him as if he were mad, "But... But why Heero? Why does he have to bear such an enormous responsibility?"
Dr J looks back at her and said in a gentle tone, "I don't have an answer. The only thing I know is that he knows the pain that all of us in the colonies feel."

At the North Pacific OZ supply base, Duo lands with his gundam. 'Looks like we're on the same mission.' He thought as he sees Wing Gundam. "What? Don't you want to say hello to me?"
"Target: Lock on." Heero said to himself as he aims his buster rifle at Deathscythe.
Duo: So we have to fight this out after all?


As the car arrives outside a building in the dark colony, Dr. J helps Relena out.
Dr J looks her in the eyes and said to her, "The people in this building will help you get back to Earth safely."
"Why did you save my life? Is it because I'm Darlian's... Darlian's daughter?" She said to him.
Dr. J smiles at her as he leads her to the building. "No.... It's because you have the same kind of eyes Heero used to have. Clean, pure, and kind eyes. I want you to remember this. He was a nice, kind boy, just like you."
Relena looks at the building and to Dr. J. "Heero… Yes I know."
"But no one can stop Heero now. If you don't want to die, don't try to get close to him again." He warns her before he leaves into the night. 'Heero Be Careful.'
