Gundam Moonshine
Chapter 7
AN: Hey everybody! I wrote a special edition of this story, so if you really are interested on what's happening behind the scenes of Gundam Moonshine, between Quatre and Minako, I suggest you read it! It's in a different style and everything, I hope that isn't too annoying, (I know how it is when authors all of a sudden change their styles on you) but this story will still be in the same style and all. Ok! Make sure to check that out! Sorry it took me so long to get this out, I know I'm horrible. :D
Summary of last chapter in a nutshell: They all defended the Sanc Kingdom from Romefeller, but Relena surrendered. Relena became the 'leader' of the World Nation and they decided to go up to space.
Summary of this chapter in a nutshell: they go back to space, stuff happens there
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
In less then a week's time, Quatre, Serena, and friends were storming an old Oz spaceport to steal a space ship so that they could get into space.
Heero had disappeared the night right after the Romefeller attack on the Sanc Kingdom. Serena had been hurt that he had left without inquiring for their help, but Quatre had said he probably had something he needed to take care of by himself. Quatre also said that the team couldn't wait for him to go to space.
They were in a rush to get into space now, because not long after Relena had declared herself the Queen of the World Nation, a new group of rebels had shown up.
They called themselves White Fang and they were supposed to be representing the colony's wish for independence from Earth. But, they were more then just your ordinary rebels. They had captured the Battleship Libra along with a rather large war ship called the Space Fortress Barge. At that point the gundam pilots had all looked at each other with knowing looks, signaling they were ready for the battle between earth and space that was sure to come.
Much to their pleasant surprise, as our heroes and heroines were stealing the space shuttle, a few of Quatre's old friends, forty Arab fighters, showed up to give them a hand. They also had a gift that made Quatre very happy, Sandrock.
Once on the shuttle everyone sat down in their seats and most of them took a nap or something to pass the time until they were in space, except for Serena. She just couldn't get over the fact that Heero had left. She swore that night she had seen something in his intense gaze that meant he cared for her, but why would he have left then? *I must just be dreaming to think a guy like him would like me. I have to focus on my mission to protect the innocent of the universe, not some guy who can take very good care of himself.* (I know what you're thinking... "Just put them together already, Shi!" Well, ;P)
She turned her thoughts to the new threat. *These people just keep on lining up! I mean seriously, how many more people are going to show up and say they want to rule the world? There's probably a course on taking over the universe in college. Oh well, I guess it gives me something to do.* She continued to think of all she knew about this Quinze character. She knew he was the original founder of Operation Meteor, which was a bad thing. Now that he has entire control of a huge space ship capable of destroying a few planets, he was defiantly someone she considered a threat. Quinze never meant for the gundam pilots to act as they do. He wanted them to go around, heartless, destroying the innocent people of earth, just to free the colonies from their influence. Serena just wanted to yell at him that people are people, no matter where they lived, Earth or Space, they all deserve to live their lives. She just couldn't see why he could decide that the people of space deserved to live more than the people of Earth. *We're all the same!*
After the shuttle stopped shaking, signaling they were out of Earth's gravitational pull, Serena took off her seatbelt and went into the control room, checking on her sleeping friends first. They were fine.
In the control room Quatre and Noin were in a quiet discussion of where to go next. Serena took a seat next to the two and just listened to what they were saying.
"We can't fight anyone with only two gundams and five taurus suits, not to mention one of the gundams isn't even space worthy," Noin said thoughtfully.
"Very true, we need to locate Duo and Wufei as soon as possible, hopefully they'll join us against the two super forces," Quatre said.
"I hope they will, I mean why wouldn't they?" Serena asked.
------------------------------------------------------------
Our group of heroes floated in space near a colony they had heard was being attacked by something.
"Do you see anything?" Quatre asked.
"No, not a thing," Noin said, "I don't know what these people were talking about."
"Well, he has to be here. The people in the colony described Shenlong to the nose!" Serena objected.
"Maybe it was a trap," Makoto said quietly behind them.
"No, I don't think so, the people of the colony seemed sure of it," Ami said.
"Well, let's just keep on looking around...we haven't been around the entire colony as of yet," Rei said.
"But it doesn't make since that we wouldn't have picked up his gundam on our radar so far," Minako said confusedly.
"Mina's right, but maybe Shenlong can cloak itself from radars like Moonshine can," Quatre suggested.
"Uh, maybe...but I think it might be the fact that the RADAR IS OFF RIGHT NOW!" Rei screamed as she noticed the red light on the radar screen wasn't on.
"HA HA! Yeah! That must be the reason! Silly me!" Minako said putting her hand behind her head with a sweat drop on her forehead.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh as they watched the blond pilot reach over and turn on the radar. They all stopped laughing as they noticed the scene the screen portrayed.
They looked up with a gasp as they saw, in view now, right in front of them, the Shenlong gundam.
Minako nearly fell out of her seat with surprise of it being right in front of her. Quickly Quatre helped her up as he grabbed the radio next to him.
"Wufei? Is that you, Wufei? It's me, Quatre," he said quickly, as the gundam had raised its light saber to attack their ship.
The gundam froze its attack, to the relief of everyone in the ship. "What do you want?"
Quatre sighed with relief, "Wufei, we need your help, we wish to stop White Fang and the World Nation from going too far, we can't do it without you."
"No. I must fight alone," was the answer from the crackly radio.
"Wufei, this is Serena," Serena said grabbing the radio out of Quatre's hand. "Please, we need your help, we have to stop the endless fight for power."
"What would you know about it, you weak woman?" Wufei said harshly over the radio.
"How rude, what a jerk!" Makoto said in the background.
"Just get away from me now, otherwise I'll fight my way away from you!"
With that the gundam turned and flew away.
"Ok, that did not go well, now what do we do?" Noin asked the group.
---
Later that day they were passing another colony when they sensed trouble. On the radar they saw a large mobile suit being chased by many smaller ones. The chase was going on not too far from where they were so they went to investigate.
Serena got into Moonshine, and Quatre got into one of the taurus suits since Sandrock wasn't ready to go into space. Everyone else stayed in the small space ship to back them up.
"Do you think it could be Duo?" Serena asked Quatre as they sped towards the battle scene.
"I hope so, who ever it is they need our help and may help us in return," Quatre said.
With that thought in mind Serena sped up to help the unknown pilot out, Quatre couldn't keep up with her because of Moonshine's superior speed, but he wasn't concerned about her safety.
Serena's face turned immediately into a mask of determination when the battle scene came into view. She knew the smaller suits were the ones that the new organization, White Fang used, and she knew the one running away was none other than the Deathscythe Hell. She couldn't miss that gundam anywhere; black and white with a rather large chest and a rather threatening looking weapon in its hand. She had a flash back of the first time she'd met Duo. They were running away from the OZ troops on the Lunar Base, and they had run into the scientists. Serena was forced to smile despite her concentration on the up coming enemies when she remembered the way he had hugged his gundams leg upon seeing it for the first time in awhile.
Without any hesitation, Serena plunged right into the White Fang mobile dolls. She began ripping them apart.
"Hey Duo," she said unemotionally, "thought you could use a hand."
---
The other gundam stopped and turned to regard the gundam tearing apart the mobile dolls.
"Serena?" Duo questioned. He had thought about the last time she had helped Wufei and him escape the Lunar Base over and over again, and had come to the decision he had just imagined the entire part about the feminine gundam helping out. Obviously he had either been wrong or had been out in space way too long.
*Well I guess I can't let her have all the glory,* he thought as he turned around and started fighting the thinning out of the forces. *I was waiting for a chance to have the advantage against fighting them, this one seems perfect, even if I am just imagining she's there. I mean come on! How is the little Serena helping me out?*
He mercilessly attacked the dolls alongside the gundam he didn't believe was there. With its help he didn't know why he had thought the large battalion of dolls had seemed so threatening, in the first place.
Not soon after they had begun fighting a taurus suit showed up on the scene, it too began helping the fight with the mobile dolls.
"Hi Duo! It's been such a long time!" a familiar voice said over his radio.
"Quatre! Man is it good to see you! Where have you been?" Duo asked happily.
"I've been on earth with Heero and Serena, but we should talk about this later..." he said as he began shooting the dolls.
"Right."
Duo just had to face the fact that now that Quatre could also see Serena that she was really there. This was still hard for him to accept.
---
It didn't take the three gundam pilots long to get rid of the dolls. Once done Quatre and Serena invited Duo onto their ship. He agreed, happy for someplace to go.
As Duo got out of his gundam in the small ship the others had led him to he was attacked by a slim figure in a white space suit.
He was surprised to find himself like underneath the female pilot, and he almost went to defend himself, but then she saw who it was through the helmet and he hugged her back. Quatre laughed from below them outside of the gundam.
"It's been so long, I was worried about you," Serena said as she got off him and helped him up.
"Yeah, it has. Hey Quatre," Duo said getting over the want of the previous position they had just been in.
"So, why is White Fang after you?" Quatre asked his friend.
"They were upset I wouldn't join them and they tried to destroy me since I wasn't with them. They chased me off that colony," Duo informed. "Oh, and I completely had the entire situation under control without you guys helping me out."
Serena and Quatre laughed at his comment causing him to burst out with an, "I did!"
The two eventually stopped laughing when Duo's face turned from comical to angry. Serena and Quatre thought he was mad at them but then they saw he wasn't looking at them but behind them.
Noin, Minako, Raye, Makoto, and Ami had just walked into the small hanger behind them.
Serena could see he was about to pull a gun on them so she said quickly, "Duo, these are my friends, Minako, Raye, Makoto, and Ami. And I'm sure you've already heard of Miss Noin here. They're all helping us out against White Fang and the World Nation."
Duo took one last threatening look at the group and then his face reverted into his smiling self. "It's nice to meet you all," he said looking them all over. They were all rather good looking, but his gaze held on one of them in particular. The one Serena had called Ami. She was so beautiful, and he must say he was a sucker for blue hair. The girl blushed adorably under his gaze and she looked down embarrassed.
When he didn't look away she looked up at him again slowly, and her gaze held on his arm. As he was running away from the White Fang people on the colony he had cut his shoulder on one of the corners of a building. His shoulder was now bleeding through his spacesuit.
All the girl's embarrassment fell away when she saw his shoulder and she walked forward and examined his scratch.
"This looks pretty bad, follow me into the sick room and I'll take care of it right away for you. You should probably take off your spacesuit," Ami said oblivious to the rather large grin that had come across his face as he followed her out of the hanger.
The four girls watched their friend go off in awe. They were surprised by her actions, never had they known her to flirt with a guy before, unless, she didn't know she was flirting with him...
---
Later that day once Duo had returned from the sick room, everyone had gathered into the control room to discuss what they were going to do. It was assumed the way that Duo was sticking around that he was now going to stay, though the reason he was staying they didn't know. They were just happy he was.
Duo told him that he had seen Trowa, alive and well on the colony he was just on. Minako had glanced at Quatre to see his reaction to the news and was happy to see a joyous and relieved look on his face. She rapped her arm in his, showing him she was happy for him and shared his relief. He smiled down on her and wrapped his arm around her shyly.
"The only problem is, he doesn't seem to remember anything about being a gundam pilot," Duo continued. "He didn't even recognize me."
"I have to go see him," Quatre said determined. "Maybe I can talk to him and get him to remember...I was one of the last ones to see him before he lost his memory."
"Well, good luck," Duo said. "There's this girl that won't even let you near him, she says she's his sister. She probably won't make it too easy for ya."

Ok, another chapter done. I'm really sorry it took me so long to get this out...I just was confused about how everything went together and wasn't sure what I should write. Sorry if it's too confusing and doesn't go along well with GW. Oh well, tell me what you think, I don't mind constructive flames and everything. Maybe I can change it if too many people don't like the way it went?
Anyway, I'll try and have the next chapter out soon!
