***flashback***
"Here Nanashi," said a voice. Nanashi turned around to see a girl around fourteen tossing a helmet to him.
"I just wanted to thank you for piloting my suit. I'm glad that my work isn't going to be used for that massacre. I wanted to thank you for that," she said quietly, blushing.
"Your very welcome," Trowa said. "What is you name?"
"My name is Ami," she said.
***End flashback***
"So you built Heavyarms," Quatre said.
"No," Ami said. "I designed it."
"I know you," Trowa said.
"That's right, Nanashi," Ami said.
"Nanashi," Heero said quietly from his corner, deciding to make himself know after some time of hiding in the shadows. "That means no name. Suitable."
"Oh," Quatre said quietly. "Hello Heero. I didn't notice you."
"You," Heero said pointing the blond. "We know who one of the 'guests' are. Who are you?"
"Heero," Quatre said quietly. "She is here on my invitation because she saved my life. Her name is Mina and any other information she might want to share with us, she may. But only if she wants to."
"Thank you, Quatre-san," Mina said. "And thank you for taking care of my wound. You are a very kind person but I have to go now. I can never stay in one place for to long. Plus a mission that will take many lives is about to be carried out. I have to stop them." Mina got up and walked towards the door.
"Wait!" Quatre said. "If it has anything to do with this war we should know. We can help you stop it!"
"That would be cheating," Mina said, smiling and winking at Quatre, who blushed crimson. "You better just find out yourself."
Mina jumped down the stairs outside Quatre's manor and stalked off into the darkness.
"Well some likes Mina," Duo said, rolling his eyes. "What do you think she meant b 'a mission that will take many lives'?"
"Let's ask Heero," Quatre said, taking one last look down the street before closing the door. 'So strange…she seemed to have just vanished.'

"It's the only way," said General Tajinu said. "The civilians on L1 X17-232 are going to rebel. It's for the colonies. They understand and you should too, Thunder."
"No!" Lita yelled. "This is not right. How could you even think of just waltzing over and destroying millions of innocent people. You tell me I fight for the colonies, ha! This is not fighting. This is a massacre!"
"Thunder," Hotaru growled quietly.
"Think of all the people on that colony. All the fathers kissing their little girls on the cheeks saying 'see you after school,' and all the teenagers picking out the clothes they're going to wear the next day!" Lita shouted, tears forming in the back of her eyes. "Think about all the innocent people we would kill if we did this! I came here to fight for the colonies. You took me in, saying we would bring freedom and have a chance to destroy this façade of peace. You said you were different from the white fang and you are, but you're worse!"
"STOP IT!" Hotaru yelled. There was total silence, because few people heard Hotaru when she had something to say. "We wouldn't even be fighting if the Gundam Pilots hadn't abandoned the colonies. They are traitors and it is their fault we are going to do this. Any one who supports them is our enemy. If you are suggesting that we go onto the colony and hand pick the citizens who are over 18 to kill I must tell you that you are think to soft of me." Hotaru spoke in a voice that was cold and determined but her hands shook slightly.
"Fine," Lita said. "If that is your decision then I am leaving. I don't need to work for people like you. Gomen, Destruction, but you are wrong. The colonies betrayed the Gundam pilots. I'm leaving and I'm taking Sagitta with me. She will not be used for such a massacre. Goodbye, Destruction."
"My name is Hotaru," she said quietly, so only Thunder could hear her.
Lita left the building and entered the hanger. There stood Sagitta. It was slightly smaller than most space Leos and had carried a shield in one hand and a large staff attached to it's back that became a thermal energy sword. (Miko- Think energy sword, and then elongate the hilt…^-^) It was green and gold with no real armor. Sagitta and it's twin, Omega, were used for offense and stealth missions. They weren't much stronger than any other suits, but when piloted correctly, they were more than a match for the Mercurius and Vayate. Omega was purple and silver, with large silver bird wings, and a thermal energy glaive. It had a twin buster rifle mounted on it's back. Even when immobile, that suit radiated pain and destruction. Thunder shuddered before hopping into Sagitta and flying into the starry sky. 'I can't do anything alone. I have to warn the Duo before it's too late. Destruction…how could you do this!'
***
There was a knock on the door. Duo got up from the couch and yawned. 'Kuso. I fell asleep on the couch again. Why is someone at the door so early. It's still dark out. Maybe it the after noon and I'm COLOR-BLIND!!'
Duo ran to the hall as quickly as his legs could carry him. '3:30 in the morning.' Duo groaned. Someone knock on the door again, harder.
Duo opened it up and Lita ran in, wrapping her arms around him and sobbing.
"Whoa," Duo said, sitting her down on the couch. "You, and enemy, come crying to me, and enemy of you. Please quiet down, because if the others hear, you will get shot in the head. I'm sure we both don't want that to happen, ne?"
"Hai," Lita said, quieting down. "I quit, well, was thrown out by Destruction, because a mission is about to be carried out. Many will die."
"So I've heard," Duo said with a yawn.
"We have to stop them," Lita said. "I just don't know how Destruction could do this. She's watched over me ever since I joined the White Knights. I feel—"
"Like I've been voted off the island," Duo finished, thinking about the fact that he was only sleeping on the house because the others turned on him, say he talks in his sleep. "You and me both."
Lita jumped up. "Thanks Duo! But we have to get the others and go. Now. Before it's to late."
"Yes," Duo said, dashing up the stairs, grabbing a few pots and pans and handing some to Lita. Lita looking at them with a very confused expression. Duo smiled at her and she got the point. Together, at 3:30 the stood in the hallway, making quite a racket, until they were joined by four others.
Lita didn't even have to explain her entire situation. After hearing about the mission, they got the gundam, and departed.
***
I've never felt like this before. I never doubted myself like I do now. Is it because of him? I fought to be strong so I could fight for him. For the colonies. I did not change. He did. I'm on the right side. Why does it seem so wrong?"Am I doing what's right?" Hotaru said out loud.
'Yes.' That's what the system told her. 'Yes, because that's what you want me to tell you. That is what you need to hear, so that is what I will tell you. For the truth, you must turn elsewhere.'
"I have to do this," Hotaru said, leveling out the buster rifle. "For peace."
Suddenly, she was hit by something heavy. The impact left her hurtling towards the colony walls. She pulled back just in time.
"Kuso," she said quietly, looking up at the five mobile suits. The black one was in front, retrieving the shield it threw at her. A communication was coming through.
"It was supposed to blow her up!" said a frustrated voice.
"Destruction is different. She's stronger," a familiar voice said. Sagitta came out from the center of the mobile suit clump.
"Destruction," Lita said. "Hotaru…get away from the colony before I have to destroy you."
"No," Hotaru said, charging at Sagitta. "I'm doing what's right!"
Sagitta came in contact with a mobile suit, but it wasn't Sagitta.
Wing Zero Custom grabbed her wrist and spread it's angel wings, flying from the others.
"Stop!" Heero shouted. "Why are you doing this?" He took the buster rifle from her hands and threw it in the night.
"Because it's the only way," Destruction said. "I'm going to carry out my mission and in the meantime, you try to understand."
Omega took out the energy glaive and stabbed him in the stomach, enough to shock him and have him let go, but not in a place where it is likely to explode. She took the buster rifle from Zero and aimed it at the colony.
"For peace…"
That was all the gundam heard over the communications.
"For peace…"
And the colony shattered, sending pieces of metals throughout the sky, giving the citizens of the earth the façade of a meteor shower, not knowing that it was anything but. They watched, pointing and laughing, as the home of hundreds of people burned up in their atmosphere. The home of hundreds of people that would never live again…
Omega flew away. No one even tried to stop her.
I have tears streaming down my face. I'm not even crying. I have no reason to. I did what I had to. They had no part in this…They were nothing. This battle meant nothing, but many lost their lives. So why did I fight it?"Am I doing what's right?" Hotaru said out loud.

- sowwy it's so short…I just wrote what I could…^-^…I hope you enjoyed it…I'll try to write more and quicker for the next chapter.
- Hiru no Tsuki- Melfina's Song- Outlaw Star- English Translation
The sound of birds at mid-day...
The wind is free and bright...
A small flower is swaying sleepily.
What if this feeling isn't real?
Is it true, that people are only words?
The white sand of the moon speaks to a woman,
It rains a gentle light and sings softly...
Will I ever understand why time comes and goes? My heart aches,
And now it is becoming gentle.
This feeling is so warm...
Is it true that people are just their names?
The white sand of the moon, a radiant display...
A distant future sings softly.
There's 2 different version for people who watched this show (b4 cartoon network took it off…;_;) but this is the translation…not the English Melfina's song…^-^…I like this one better!!! I think the title means "Noon of the Moon" kinda funky…but that's it…
Next Chapter- 5- Akai Bara (it means a red rose and I pretty much just a couple of characters thoughts in the middle of the fic…)
R/R!!!! pwease!!!
