Hehe...I'm so happy!!! Someone made pictures of Heero and Serena for my story, and they were so GOOD!!!! I wish everyone could see them. Unfortunately, the person didn't leave a name, but I do have an email address!! (^_^) And if your reading this, Thanx again!!!!

He woke up a little later bathed in the fading afternoon light. Even in this state, he was conscious of being watched. He kept still, listening in on the conversation going on around him.

"Luna! What am I gonna do? I can't keep him here forever! Mom's bound to find out about him and he had his energy sucked and I don't think he'll be up any time soon!!!" Her voice had a whining tone.

Apparently the other person thought so too.

"Serena stop complaining! It's your fault for bringing him here! He must have been in some sort of trouble to have wounds like THAT." He felt the person studying him. "It's odd though...with those wounds...and even after having his energy snatched...he was still able to get up?"

"Yup! Get up and threaten me at gunpoint!!!!" He could almost imagine the girl pouting, arms crossed.

He heard the other person sigh. "Serena...how do you get yourself in these situations?" The person had a sharp british accent and was female.

"LUNA!! This is a new one for me!"

'Luna' sighed heavily. "You'd better go and make sure you cleaned up all that blood...your mother would have a fit and THEN how would you explain it to her?"

"Ok...keep an eye on him, would ya?" She shuffled out the room.

He waited a moment before sitting up. He'd take care of this 'Luna' character first; And then go after the other one. They knew too much about him already and he couldn't take the risk of them telling anyone. It was then that he noticed where he was. He was in a bed, under a soft lavender comforter. A lavender comforter with white bunnies and yellow crescent moon prints. Somehow he guessed this was HER room.

He threw off the covers in disgust. Felt the hair raise on his neck. He was being watched. He turned swiftly, muscles tense, and came face to face with....a cat?

Where was that 'Luna' character? Had she somehow slipped out? He wished he had his gun. Where had that girl put it? The cat meowed loudly. He ignored it. The disk! He looked about himself. It was gone again?! How many times was he going to loose it? He kicked himself mentally. There had better be something worthwhile on it to cause him this much trouble.

'That girl,' he thought. She and her friend must have it. What if they were looking at it right now? No one but himself and Dr. J were supposed to see! It was classified information! He rushed towards the door, but was suddenly intercepted by the cat. He stepped over it, but it only entwined itself further around his legs. Growling in frustration, he picked the cat up by the scruff of its neck and tossed it on the bed dismissivly.

Before the cat could move, he was out the door and looking around. It was then that he noticed his arm. It had been bandaged up, and so had his leg. The blood had been carefully cleaned from his body. Had that girl done this? Even when he'd threatened her life? Oh well. He'd never asked for her help. And a few bandages weren't going to change his mind. He still had a mission, and he wasn't going to let her jeopardize it. He tested his limps. They still felt a little stiff, but already he could tell they were beginning to heal.

Turning, he headed down the stairs, oblivious to the cat's suspicious eyes.

'I have to warn Serena!,' Luna thought worriedly. That guy could be dangerous. She ran out the door after him.

Serena sighed. She'd checked the stairs and the bathroom again. Yep. She'd gotten all the blood up. And there had been a lot too! Frankly, she didn't know how the guy was even ALIVE right now.. But he seemed to be doing fine, and Luna had assured her he was just in a harmless sleep.

She was about to leave the bathroom, when she noticed the disk and gun on the floor. She went over to the items. Picking up the disk, she puzzled over what to do with the gun. She really didn't want to touch it, but she couldn't just leave it there for her Mom to find. Sighing, she carefully picked it up as well. Glancing at the disk, she felt her curiosity once again peak. What was on it? That guy had put up such a fuss about it, but it just looked like an ordinary cd to her. She twirled it in her hand.

'Alright Serena, you don't want to get involved in this.....just give the guy his cd, and stay out of it.'

But she couldn't help but wonder what was on it.

'Remember... curiosity killed the cat...' She giggled at herself. 'Oh well, but I'm not a cat am I?' She skipped out the bathroom and into her fathers office. Once there, she shoved the disk into the hard drive and turned up the volume. That was about the only thing she knew how to do. Computers definitely weren't her thing. Imagine her surprise when a strange screen appeared on the monitor.

"What?? What's this??" She'd been expecting music...but what was this???! She stood there blankly trying to figure out what to do. She didn't notice a menacing Heero creeping silently up behind her. He was almost to her when -

"Serena!!!!! LOOK OUT!!!!"

She turned around swiftly, coming face to face with the angry boy. Atleast, he LOOKED angry....it was hard to tell, he'd worn that expression since she first saw him.

He cursed. He'd almost had her. If not for that 'Luna'...but when he turned his head, he only found the same glaring black cat he'd tossed on the bed. If only he had his gun...his gun! She was holding it carefully in her hand, as if it were an evil filthy thing. Just as well. She obviously didn't know how to use it, from the way she held it. His icy glare turned even colder. The girl winced. Shoving her aside, he sat down at the computer. Might as well see what was on the mysterious 'disk'.

He begin typing rapidly.

"Uh.....sorry about that!" The girl sounded sheepish. "I thought it was just a music cd..." He didn't respond. "How's your arm? I couldn't do much for it...I hope it was enough." He ignored her.

She frowned. She was getting seriously steamed here. How dare this guy ignore her?!

She felt Luna hop lightly to her shoulders. "Serena," she whispered. "I think you should be careful....I sense a strange energy coming from him."

"Luna...you sense something strange from EVERYONE." She replied flippantly.

Luna sweatdropped. The girl never wanted to listen.

Serena leaned over the boy's shoulders.

"Excuse me, but do you think you could tell me your name? I can't just go around calling you nothing forever....My names Serena." She laid the gun carefully on the desk beside the computer. He eyed it, eyes narrowed, keeping silent.

'You won't be around forever, Serena...' he thought to himself. Just as soon as he finished looking these plans over, he'd be done with her. These plans....it was strange. If he didn't know any better, he'd say they were the designs to some sort of new mobile suit....or even a Gundam. But that couldn't be right. There were only seven Gundams, counting Wing zero and Epyon. The Talgeese had been destroyed, and as far as he knew, his first gundam, 01 was still on earth somewhere.

But here they were. Staring him right in the face. The plans to some new and mysterious Mobile suit. He shook his head. Who had made these? The design was similar to the other Gundams, and the scientists were the only ones who could successfully make Gundams......but what were they doing in an ENEMY base? Whose side were they on anyway?

And if there was a new Gundam, then that meant that there would be a new pilot as well...but who?


*******************


"Duo! Have you found him yet?," an anxious Quatre asked.

Duo shook his head. He had gone a deathly pale color. 'I'm sorry Heero...'

He hadn't realized the possibility that Heero could be INSIDE the base. He'd just rushed in, headfirst, destroying. He WAS the 'Great Destroyer' afterall...Shinigami, the god of death. Something had been going on in that base...something they had been trying to keep quiet. Despite their efforts however, rumors had still leaked out. Disturbing rumors about the construction of another Gundam. Where had they gotten the Gundanium Alloy to make it? Something just hadn't seemed right about that story.

So he'd decided to destroy the base. Regardless, they didn't need any more Gundams trampizing around; Especially ones that were working for OZ. And even if they weren't building a Gundam, they were working on something...Hilde had found that out for him.

And so he'd destroyed the base.

Halfway through, a hysteric Quatre had appeared on his moniter....

He'd found Wing Zero, located about three miles from the base in an old harbor. If Zero was there, then that meant that Heero was bound to be near too. 'But what are the chances of him being in THIS base?' No. Heero wasn't here. And if he was, he wouldn't let himself be killed.

That's when he heard the explosion.

Heero was here...thats why the base had exploded. He must have planted the explosives. He felt a surge of relieve. Relieve that was short lived, as when the hours wore on, there'd been no sign of the brooding teen.

And Zero was still untouched. They'd searched the rubble of the base, careful not to let themselves be discovered by officials. But found no sign Heero. 'He can't be dead..' Quatre thought to himself.

Duo was growing desperate and Quatre was near tears. Suddenly his head shot up.

"Quatre! What is it?," Duo's cobalt blue eyes scanned the blond's carefully.

"Wing Zero!!!" He gasped, clutching his chest.

Duo cocked his head in confusion.

"Wing Zero...remember? Zero has the ability to tell the future! So maybe we can use it to find out about Heero..." He trailed off. Or one of the possible futures of the him, anyway. Zero never really gave straight answers...Did he really want to find out if Heero was gone?? But then again, he could lieing somewhere, hurt or dieing. He made up his mind.

An hour later, the two had rented a boat and diving equipment. They decided that Quatre would go down, since he seemed to pocess some uncanny sensory ability. And after all, Quatre had CREATED Zero.

He dived in, with Duo carefully keeping watch. After sinking several hundred feet, he came to the eery head of the Gundam. Even unactivated, the gundam emitted power. Quatre shivered. He hadn't been able to keep control the last time he'd piloted Zero. 'But you're not going to pilot him,' a voice in his head shouted.

The lifeless eyes stared at him. He sighed, opening the hatch and climbing inside. "Quatre!! Are you ok down there?" The voice of Duo startled him slightly. He smiled. "Yes, I'm fine," he spoke back into the clear transmittion.

It felt strange to be back inside Zero. Last time, he'd almost killed Trowa. He sat still for a moment, getting refamiliar with the controls and calming himself. Finally, he activated the Gundam.

Wing Zero came to life.

For a while, nothing happened.

He wasn't sure how long he sat there. Hours. Days. But it couldn't have been more than thirty minutes. Suddenly he felt a strange sensation, and the screen came to life.

Quatre was awed.

He saw it all. Heero, holding tight to the disk. Heero, being shot...twice. Heero crawling through the ventilation. And then Duo, destroying the base. After that, Zero was silent, and the screen went black. Quatre gasped.

"Wait!," he cried. "This can't be all!!! Where is Heero! Please Zero, you have to tell me!!"

Zero didn't answer. And he began to loose hope that it ever would. But then, in a swirl of bright lights, a form began to take shape.

It was a girl. A young girl, no older than they. She seemed full of happiness and love; she radiated sunshine.

Quatre was confused. "What does a girl have to do with Heero?"

He saw the girl in all her forms. The young school girl, the beautiful young warrier, and finally the elegant princess. He didn't know how he was understanding everything. Was Zero doing it?

And then he saw the girl a final time, being killed by some great evil.

And then Zero went silent.

"QUATRE! QUATRE ARE YOU THERE?!" It was Duo, calling to him.

He clutched his chest, gasping for breath. He hadn't realized how hard he was breathing. His heart was racing.

"QUATRE!"

"I'm fine Duo," he answered slowly, his voice sounded hoarse.

"Quatre! What happened??! You've been down there forEVER!"

"Duo! I know where Heero is!" Quatre revealed.

"WHAT?! He's alive??!"

Quatre nodded, then realized Duo couldn't see the gester.

"He's okay, Duo!" Tears of happiness ran down the boys cheeks.

"Quatre! Where the hell is he??!," Duo asked impatiently.

Quatre laughed. "Duo," he began, "I know this is going to sound crazy, but.." He paused. "Wait, I'm coming up!"

Duo sighed. His life was all about suspense. But then he grinned. Heero wasn't dead. That was good. He didn't want another death on his shoulders, and besides that, however Heero didn't want to admit it, he'd become to think of the cold boy as a comrade...if not a friend.

"OH CRAP!" His eyes widened. If Heero WASN'T dead, and if he HAD been in the base when Duo had started his destructive frenzy, then....

"HE'S GONNA KILL ME!!"


***********


"HE'S GOINNA KILL ME!!!!" Serena wailed. The boy had somehow snatched his gun without her noticing. He now had it pointed dangerously close to her face.

"Say goodbye, Serena," he murmured quietly.

The girl didn't reply. Her blue tear-filled eyes stared into his hard prussion ones.

He stared back intently. Started to pull the trigger when something caught his attention. A calendar on the wall behind her head. It was november, he knew, but the year...It was all wrong. The year read, 2001. But...It wasn't 2001!!!!! It was A..C 195! In that split second the cat leaped up, scratching the hand his gun was holding, causing him to drop it.

"Serena! Get the gun!" It screamed.
He glared. So there hadn't been another person at all....it had been the CAT he'd heard talking.

The girl made a grab for his fallen gun, but he intercepted her, reaching it himself.

He stood, glaring at the two.

"You," he nodded towards the cat, gun ready. "How can you talk?"

The cat was silent and seemed to glare at him. His frown deepened and he aimed his gun on the confused Serena. "Talk now, or blondie gets it."

"I've always been able to talk," the cat replied stiffly. "Who ARE you?" He ignored her and turned his attention to the girl.

"What year is this?" She stared at him, her confusion growing. "Um...2001...why? Did you hit your head?"

2001? Then he really WASN'T imagining things. He'd somehow been transported to another time...which explained the calendar and why he'd never heard of Juuban distract. But...how had he gotten here? He frowned. "Duo...I'll kill you...," he thought again.

The thought comforted him.
