Chapter 3
"Usagi?"
"Ho… Howard?" The
young girl woke up as she blinked at her vision. "Is that you?"
"Yes your
majesty." He said as he bowed at her bedside. "Are you well?"
"Eh?" She said as
she sat up. "Are you well? What's with the majesty and stuff?"
"Princess I must tell
you of your true identity, for I can no longer hide it." He said as he got
up and presented her with a crystal moon broach. "Take it, and you will
become Sailor Moon, protector of the moon kingdom, in honor of peace and
justice for the world…"
Usagi got up and when she
reached him, she placed a gentle hand over his forehead. "Err… I think you
need to rest. You've been working on Duo's gundam too long."
"Princess Usagi, this
is the truth." He looked into her eyes as he placed the broach in her
hand.
"Uh-huh… yeah right and
pigs can fly." She said as she sat back down on the bed.
Howard turned to her as he
placed a hand over her forehead as a crescent moon was revealed, reflecting off
its bright lights. "You see now?"
"Usagi, I cannot tell
you much now, but as soon as you turn into your rightful senshi, you will
realize who you really are and what your true destiny is." He said to her
as he smiled. "I know this is hard, especially for a girl like you… like
Heero." Suddenly Howard looked into her eyes as a familiarity filled his
eyes. "You have eyes like him… kind… peaceful… clean and pure. But even
though this is a big responsibility, you must fight for what you believe in and
I know you will make the right choice." As he glance at her with his brown
eyes, he left through the door.
"…." Usagi
clutched onto the broach as she felt a strange feeling flow through it.
'Heero…'
"Mother, I'm
home."
"Relena!" Mrs.
Darlin cried out in joy as she hugged her 'daughter.' "Are you
alright?"
"I'm sorry I wasn't
able to protect father…"
"Its okay… your
safe." She cried onto her shoulder. "Did your father tell you
anything…"
"No." She replied
to her.
"I need to tell you
something-"
"MOTHER!"
"Relena…?"
"Please…. Just be my
mother and nothing else."
"Why have you come
back?" Treize asks her as they stepped into his mansion. "Did
you…"
"No, I have not
captured Tsukino Usagi or the rest of the senshi, but Mr. Darlin is dead."
"Its very unusual for
you to miss a target Lady Une." Treize said as he circled her. "Is
there any problem?"
"I… just need some more
time." Lady Une replied as she looked down. "With regards to that
matter, I would like to request use of a Mobile Suit from the JAP region."
"Take
5 with you." He said to her as he sat down. "There seems to be
shadows following us, 5 mobile suits will not be sufficient."
Tsukino,
Usagi- Tuition: CLEARED. School Record: CLEARED. Transfer approval from the
Board of Education: APPROVED. "There… that should do it." She said to
herself as she quickly shut off the computer and slipped out through the doors
and into the busy halls. 'The other senshis…'
"Hey,
how do you think Relena-sama is taking this?" Anotsu asked Ishigami as
they entered the party for Relena for her return.
"She
must be heartbroken." Ishigami replied. "I mean that was her
father."
Another
student came up them and said, "I don't know how to express my condolences
to her."
"Its
okay everyone." Relena came to them. "I'm sure my father would not
like me crying."
As
Relena looks around the party, she sees Heero. "Heero! Is it true that you
are transferring with Usagi-san?"
Heero
doesn't say anything to her, but whips out his gun as he pointed it to her
forehead.
"This
wouldn't be a great time to kill me Heero. I would like for you to stay and
have a good time. At least until the dance is
over." She said to him with a smile. "There are too many people here…
I know about Dr. J. Please… let me fight besides you."
"Trowa?"
He
turned around as he found the ringmaster. "Aren't you a little late?"
"Well
I'm here aren't I?" He said to him as he slipped on his mask and put on
his costume.
"Why
you…!"
Suddenly
a woman around the age of 20 stepped in. "Don't worry, the show is about
to start.
Don't
mind him Trowa. It would help me if you didn't move, okay?"
He
looks at her with his silent green eyes then walked through the curtains.
"Strange boy…"
At
the circus, the ringmaster presents the first act, "Now our master of
knife throwing, the beautiful but incredible Catherine de Bounure!"
As
Catherine takes a knife in her hands, she takes a look at Trowa. "Just be
scared a little or I can't excite myself you understand?" She tells him,
but he doesn't show any response. When the knife misses him by mere
centimeters, he still keeps his gaze. "Those eyes… T-Trowa!"
"Excuse
me, would it be possible if I went inside the circus, because I need to do a
report on such a fascinating circus, and I'm sure my sensei would be delighted
to see this place."
The
ringmaster looks at the young girl and presented her within the curtains.
"Enjoy young lady."
"Thank
you very much." She said with a smile as she goes it. 'Trowa…'
As
she search for him, she soon fines him by the lion cage. "Trowa."
"Hmm?"
As he turns around, he finds the least expected person. "Ami… what are you
doing her?"
"I…
just came by to see how you were doing." She said as she kneeled down to
the floor and reached her hand inside the cage. Surprisingly, she consists of
the same skills he have. The lion came by her, but didn't open up his enormous
mouth, but let her pet his head. "Trowa, why didn't dodge that throw? It
could have killed you."
Trowa
kneeled down with her as he leaned his hand inside the cage. "I was merely
doing my job."
"I
came to tell that… I wont be no longer seeing you. I'm going to transfer
schools." She said to him as she looked into his eyes, but he apparently
gave no response. "Oh… I see. Good luck."
Ami
smiled back to him as she rose from her kneeling position. "Good luck too.
Good bye Trowa, maybe one day we'll see each other again… some day."
"Lady
Une…" A dark figure on top of a building next to Relena's school looks at
the Mobile suits from OZ as Wing Gundam starts to attack them. 'Heero…
Relena….' As she muttered some words under her breath, a blinding light was
flashed before the pilots in the Leos and Aries.
"What
the-!" 2 pilots of the Leo and Aries gasped at the lights that were headed
towards them.
Suddenly
Heero turned his gundam around to see where that came from, but when he did, he
found no gundam… but a dark figure whose features were hidden within the dark
night. "Who?"
As
Heero used his buster rifle and blasted 2 Aries into bits of dust, a large
concrete from Relena's school was about to crash upon her but when he tried to
shield her with his Wing's shield, he detected another person besides Relena.
'Who could this be…' When he took off the shield, a girl with golden long hair
was laid on top of Relena… protecting her. "RELENA!"
"Ugh…
Relena… get out of here." The girl murmured softly under her breath as she
got up on her self with bruises and cuts everywhere. "Hurry before it's
too late!"
"But…
who are you!" She said to her as she tried to help her up. A weak smile
appeared on Usagi's face as she disappeared within the ruble of the school.
"Take your throne Princess."
"You…
who are you?" Relena cried out. "Heero!"
''Who
is this girl?' Heero thought as he leaped from his gundam and went to her side.
"Heero!"
She yelled out to him as he went to her. "Heero… why did you save me?
Weren't you supposed to kill me?"
He
glared into her soft blue eyes as he reached for his gun in back of him and
placed it on her head. "Good-bye Relena."
'Heero… I cannot let you do
this.' Usagi thought as she closed her eyes and brought her hands to her
forehead as the tiara turned into a glowing disk and headed towards his way. As
the disk reached them, it turned to his gun and blasted into bits.
With fury growing inside of
him, Heero turned around to see where that came from, but couldn't see who it
was. "WHO DID THAT?!"
She gasped slightly as she
backed away. 'Heero… stop this.' She quickly turned around as she met the
familiar dead eyes. "Heero…"
"Who are you?" He
said to her as he reached for another gun. "Why did you interfere?"
"I… cannot tell you
much not, but-" Before she could continue, he pointed the gun to her head,
as she closed her eyes and waited for her dead. "Do it Heero… Kill me
then."
Heero looked at her calm
face, and was about to trigger the trig; he stopped suddenly and backed away.
When Usagi opened her eyes, she saw on one…but the raging fire of Wing Gundam's
engine. "Heero… Relena!"
"Mission accepted.
Roger… New Edwards. OZ will be there." Heero looked up from the gundams
view screens. "Relena…" 'Usagi… that girl…' He thought in his mind as
he watched the clear skies.
"Where is Trowa!"
The ringmaster yelled out as he entered the tent.
"He's just out."
Catherine said. "I'm sure he'll be back for the show. Don't worry."
As the ringmaster goes out,
Catherine looks out to the window. "Trowa… what are you doing?"
"Quatre?"
"Minako!" He said
to her as she arrived at his door. "What are you doing here? Are you
well?"
She smiled at him as she
walked in the room. "I just came by to… bid you good luck on your mission…
I know you will find your other gundam pilots there."
"But…" Quatre said
in a shock voice. "How… did you know? Even Rashid don't even know and you…
already know?"
"Yeah you can say
that." Minako said to him. "Quatre… I- must go. Good luck to
you." She said to him as she blinked back tears. "Good bye… maybe one
day we'll see each other."
"Hello? Is this the San
Francisco Star Regent hotel? Yes, I would like to book a room… I'm a minor and
alone…"
"Quatre?"
"Trowa! Hi! We meet
again. I guess we're on the same mission." Quatre said with a friendly smile.
"I can do it
myself." Trowa said to him. "I do not need your 0help."
Quatre hung up the phone as
he turned to the gundam pilot. "So can I, but if we work together, we can
get it done faster and with more success."
"I wonder about
that…" Trowa said as he turns to leave.
"ENEMY ATTACK!" A
soldier screams out as he saw the gundams approach on their radar.
"Did someone say enemy attack? A worker asks him as he leans towards the
screen and sees Deathscythe. "IT'S A GUNDAM!"
Suddenly a dark figure leaped
out from his hiding place as he tripped the worker with his legs and then
punched the soldier in its face. "Its him…"
"You should load up
yours too, I'll take over the cockpit." Duo said to him as he loaded his
gundam inside the cargo plane. "Hurry Heero."
"Duo…" Heero
looked at him as a sudden flashback hit his mind. "Usagi…"
'Wow… he finally remembers
my name.' Duo thought as he shouted to him. "We don't want to screw up our
mission now do we? Leave it to me!"
"Do whatever you
want." Heero looked at the open skies as Duo pilots the cargo plane.
"This is going to be a
great mission." Duo said to him as Heero sat next to the overly excited
pilot.
"Where is Usagi?"
"Howard is watching
her." Duo said with a mischief grin. "Don't worry your girlfriend is
in safe hands."
"Watch it
Maxwell…" Heero warned him. "Do you know what is the importance of
this mission?"
"Of course I do, this
is going to be the best opportunity for us to destroy OZ, once and for
all."
Heero looked out through the
window as he replied to him in his monotone, "It is unlike OZ to not to do
anything at all… we can terminate the heads of OZ all together."
"Yup, then we can go
home!" Duo cheered. 'Rei…'
"Usagi?"
As Howard entered the room,
he found no one in it. "Princess Usagi? USAGI!" When he neared her
desk, he found a letter from her to him.
Howard-
I know what to do now, don't worry, I wont
get into trouble. I'm headed to the New Edward's air base, so I can help the
gundam pilots there. I bid you farewell as I head off.
Thank
you for revealing my true identity,
Usagi.
"Usagi…" Howard
looks into the open skies as his hopes for her goes with her wherever she
goes.
As the gundam pilots head
for New Edwards, they are unaware that they have a very big surprise that will
blasted in their faces. "Is everything ready?"
"Yes Treize-sama,
everything will go according to plan."
As Zechs arrives at the
Nairobi Base, he goes to see his
comrade. "Noin, this is going to be a regrettable mission. Are you sure
you don't mind?"
When
the purpled hair woman turns to him, a smile appears on her face. "I
believe in you Zechs. If the order comes in, I'll follow it."
"The
federation and Oz… whichever becomes the new government, the world would
change… one way or another." 'So why do I fight…?'
When
the other delegates arrive at Nairobi Base, Field Marshal Noventa suggest that
the Federation should seek peace with the colonies, and in order to do so, they
must be the first to drop their weapons and lower their shields. However, the
other delegates disagree, but most of them want to seek peace too.
Gen.
Septem rises as he speaks, "What about the recent incidents? The attacks made by those
mysterious Mobile Suits made from Gundanium alloy? The Earth is being threatened
by those invaders with superior weapons. The Special's have engaged in battle
with them. What do you think about it?"
"We
believe that these are the acts of sabotage committed by the space
colonialists." Treize said to his fellow delegates. Suddenly Lady Une
whispers to him. "Treize-sama!"
When
he turned to Lady Une, he told her. "Someone has to say what the
Federation officers really want to say correct?"
"It
is only natural that the space colonies have such a strong mistrust towards
us." Noventa continued. "Its not only the colonies we need to talk
with, we also need to talk with ourselves."
"I
cannot agree more." Gen. Bentz said. "Let's start a new chapter of
human civilization with peaceful talks."
"But
what about the gundams?" Gen. Septem protested, as the anger in him can't
be held any longer. "They could not see what our true objectives are
anyways!"
"If
they learn that our intentions are towards peace, they will lose their
objectives. We will open talks. And that way, the path we have overlooked can
be discovered again." Noventa said.
"History
must be taking a wrong turn…" Treize mutters to himself.
Lady
Une turns to him as she starts to talk. "Then…"
"No,
not until the final curtains rise."
"Then
I would like to move onto our discussion on the real agenda for peaceful
negotiation. First-"
"ENEMY
ATTACK!" A loud explosion was heard form outside the base as Wing Gundam
turns into its bird mode. "What is that?!"
As the big view screen fizzles, a face of a soldier appears. "Sir! It's an
enemy attack! The base is under attack!"
When
all the delegates rises up to see where they came from, Wing Gundam appears at
their window and took out his buster rifle. "Good bye OZ!"
"Whoa!
This is too much!" Duo shouted to Heero. "The defenses have too many
Mobile suits!"
Suddenly
a blaze of roaring fire was shot at one of the Mobile suits as it collapsed
right next to Deathsycthe. "What the-"
As
Duo whipped his gundam around, he saw… a girl with long raven black hair in a
short red mini skirt. "Oh god… I think I must be dreaming…"
"DUO!
IN FRONT OF YOU!" She shouted to him as she jumped in the air when two
soldiers were coming her way. "Mars… Celestial Fire… SURROUND!" Eight
fireballs were formed in her circle as it was blasted to the oncoming OZ
soldiers.
"Hai!"
As Rei landed, she kicked the faces of the astonished soldiers. "D I
E!"
"Lady,
the curtain has risen."
"Yes
Sir." Lady Une replied as she pressed a finger into her mini-computer.
"Lt.
Zechs, the Operation Daybreak is underway." A soldier reported to him.
As
Zechs looks out to the screen, he tells him. "All right… Dispatch all
fighters!"
"What
the heck is happening? Why are the gundam pilots attacking the
Federation?" Ami screamed out as she approached the base. "Rei,
what's going on?"
"I
don't know… but when I went to Duo, I recognized that these are not the OZ
soldiers."
Minako
took a strange look at the battling gundams and the artillery that was being
launched at them. "Quatre…. We got to move in now!"
"RIGHT!"
The 3 other girls replied as they stationed themselves at different stations.
As Rei positioned herself in front of Deathscythe, The other girls got in front
of Wing Gundam.
"DUO!
STOP THIS RIGHT NOW! YOU'RE ATTACKING THE FEDERAT-AAAAAHHHH!" A laser
blasted at Rei as she screamed out in pain, as blood spilled from her back.
"Tell
them to stop fighting!" Noventa yelled out to the soldiers. "We're
seeking peace with the colonies!"
"Its
impossible!" The soldier told him through the screen as they faced
constant bombing from the gundams. We're under massive attack, if we retreat,
then we'll be utterly destroyed!"
"We
must evacuate at once marshal."
"But…"
The marshal looked through the windows as he turned to the screen.
"If
you're going to seek peace, that's fine, but I happen to have a responsibility
to protecting you as you do so." Treize said to them as he approached the
worried marshal
When
the supreme commander marshal turned towards Treize, fury fumed form his ears.
"I DO NOT NEED YOUR SARCASM. But I do not intend to die here either… for
the sake of the negotiations!"
All
over the world, including Nairobi where Zechs and Noin are waiting, OZ forces
rebels and attacks Federation bases. As Treize sees that all is going according
to plan, but when he encounters Gen. Septem. "Please, come this way."
"But
isn't the shuttle this way?" He asks him in a curious voice.
Treize
smiles at him as he replies with a smooth tone. "It would probably be a
good idea to disperse the leaders into 2 planes, just in case. My private
shuttle is at hanger 5-7. It may be small but it is the Special's state of art
shuttle."
"Is
that right… okay then."
"NO!!"
The commander yelled out. "Dispatch all mobile suits ready! The enemy is
only 2!"
"Commander!
There is an emergency call from Fairbanks base!" A soldier told him as he
put the call on the screen. "It's a rebellion! It appears that some
rebellions have struck the Federation!"
Suddenly
a soldier from the base came up to his commander as he said, "Commander!
Reports of rebellions are coming from all over the world!"
"W
H A T?!" The commander rushed to the view screens as Federation bases are
being attacked from all over the world. "Impossible… no…"
In
Nairobi, Noin and Zechs take control over the base, and Zechs speaks to the
masses under their control. The new order is here, OZ is to free the world from
the Federation's oppression.
"Everyone,
stop all unnecessary resistance! What we want are you, new comrades! The
Federation's era is over! A real unification can only be accomplished by the
hands of OZ! Let's work together to create a new world order!"
"Shit
they just keep on coming!" Duo yelled out as he used his beam scythe and
slash through the 'OZ' base. "Whoa! Missiles?" Suddenly Heavyarms
appear on the screen. "What the hell?"
"Sorry
I cannot pursue you to surrender today but things are so urgent." Quatre
said to Heero as he and Trowa approaches them.
"Are
they Oz's mobile suits?" Heero said into the screen to Quatre.
"But
they're attacking the Federation's Mobile sutis!" Duo cried out as he
raised his shield to cover his gundam from Trowa's missiles.
Suddenly
a shot of the gundams hit Quatre. "Trowa! They look just like us… maybe
they're…"
"Whatever
they are, I'll destroy them if they are in my way." He replied calmly as
he launched more missiles at Deathyscythe.
"NO
STOP THIS!" Rei shouted as she saw Heavyarms, one of the gundam… who
stands for the colonies voice, destroy another one. "NO I WILL NOT ALLOW
THIS!" Determination struck her violet eyes as she jumped up high in the
air, and landed on top of the bombing federation. "DUO!
HEERO! QUATRE! TROWA! LISTEN TO ME! YOU'RE GUNDAM PILOTS ALL TOGETHER! THIS IS
NOT RIGHT YOU SHOULD NOT BE FIGHTING EACH OTHER!" She screamed to them on
the top of her lungs. 'Argh fools!' "FIRE…. SOUL… BIRD!" With one hand,
she whipped one of her anti-evil scrolls out and struck out her hands as the
fire from her mars attack and her anti-evil scrolls combine, it meld in
together and formed a fire flying bird that stuck all the gundam pilots, even
Heero. "FOOLS! LISTEN TO YOURSLEF! YOU ARE GUNDAM PIOLTS! THE ONLY HOPE
FOR THE SPACE COLONIES AND YOUR GOAL IS TO DESTROY OZ BUT YOU ARE DESTROY YOUR
OWN CAMADRE!"
"Eh?"
As Heero took one look at Rei, he stifled a laugh. "You don't even know
what you are talking about… stay out of this."
"MORONS!
THIS-" Before Makoto could continue, Heero sees a shuttle and blasts
towards it.
"That's
it!" Heero glared at the shuttle as he points his buster rifle at it.
'Good bye…'
Suddenly
a soldier within the shuttle took off "his" clothes as she climbed
out of shuttle and faced the gundam. "No… HEERO!"
"You
again… I'll finish you all off!" He shouted as he steadied his aim and
shot the rifle.
"Rainbow
Moon Heart Ache!" As she pointed her Moon rod in front of her and
translucent white beams of energy shot out and fired towards his buster rifle.
"No… Federation leaders… AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" She yelled out in
frustration as she thrust her rod towards the beam that was shot from the
buster rifle. "I will… I will protect the federation in honor of peace and
justice!!" Then suddenly Heero increased his fire and blasted her energy
away as his beam made it towards her and the federation leaders. "You will
die!"
"No…"
Usagi gasp out as the yellow beam from his buster rifle was fire at her.
"I WILL PROTECT THE FEDERATION!" She struck out her arms as she faced
her death. "Good bye Heero…"
