The year is After Colony 204. With peace attained in AC 197, the universe was headed to an age where weapons were no longer needed. However many people opposed the idea of no armaments. Feeling that man's will to fight was deteriorating, Jushi Kushrenada formed the organization known as Neo OZ. A new military nation was easy to form since the split of the ESUN. In AC 200, the ESUN split into two governing bodies, ESUN Earth, and ESUN Space. Each keeping order and control democratically. Neo OZ broke onto the scene in late November, AC 203. With both, veterans from the previous era's wars, and new, bright, young soldiers. Neo OZ has gained control of half of the former ESUN bases. Wars are erupting across the world just as before. Space has had relatively few disturbances. ESUN Space has kept order in all but L2, and L5. The original Gundam Pilots have not yet made a move. However the Preventer Agency has been acting as Earth's main protectors for now. But with only antique Mobile Suits, both sides appear quite even. Until now…

Chapter 1: Finding Work
"Ok, I've made it to Earth. Now what?"
[Triou Senju Mission states you should find a place to hide out]
"Sounds good."
'Heh, this mission shall be easy.'
Triou's cerulean blue eyes lit up with anticipation. A strand of his lemon yellow hair fell down. Triou quickly put it back into place with his hand. He smiled a kind, true, genuine smile. A smile like that is rare these days. It appears to be child like with its playfulness, but, in reality, that smile has seen many a horrible situation. Still his smile can light up a many gloomy people. His smile is hard to resist smiling back at. Triou Senju appears to be older than he really is.
By the time a man has turned 15, he can no longer be a child.
Triou Senju knows all about that.
"Ok, Tri Blade, where should we go?"
[Mission states that you should find an appropriate place to hide out at]
'I hate it that this machine can't divide sentences, or add punctuation. Really annoying.'
Triou checked the in-screen radar. He's over France.
"Hey look!"
Triou launched the outer cams. Triou's excitement came from the bright whirl of colors below.
A circus.
"Maybe…"
~*~
Catherine Bloom walked out from the local McWorlds. She apparently decided she wanted to take a walk in the local park. She was taking her time wherever she was going, but that is not what someone else was thinking.
An older teenage male walked up to Catherine Bloom.
"Can I help you?" Catherine politely asked the dirty young man.
"Yeah you can."
"Will this take long? I'm kinda in a hurry."
The man walked in close to Catherine.
"No, not long at all."
The man grabbed at her.
He attempted with one hand to take her shirt off. With the other hand he kept it over her mouth to stop her screams.
"Won't take long at all baby."
~*~
'Crud!'
'Someone sure can scream loud.'
"STOP!!!"
"That didn't sound good."
Triou Senju looked around the park he had entered. France Central Park.
Triou started walking on the walking trail.
Birds chirped overhead. The leaves rustled in the cool January wind.
A quick sudden pain came to his head.
In a short cry of pain, Triou feel to the ground holding his head.
"The pain!"
Color exploded into my head. Yellow, blue, red, gray, and white. The colors formed images in my head, then went away. The images I mean. The color is still swirling around. Each strand of light that comes to my head brings a new definition to the word pain. My skull feels it will burst. The pain keeps coming. Additional color adds itself to the original shades. Forming a picture of a young red headed woman.
{What the heck is going on?}
{And why am I talking like this?}
{I know what I must do!}
~*~
"Please stop!"
Catherine was sobbing in protest. Kicking back at the man attempting to rape her.
An image appeared in her head.
A young man running through the park.
{Please help me…}
A flash and blur happened, and Catherine found herself on the ground. When she looked up she saw a young, blond hared man attacking the man who dared attempted to…
The perverted punk fount himself on the receiving-in of an assault of an angry teenager.
Within seconds the fight was over.
"Take this! See if you can ever attempt to do that again to unsuspecting pretty women!"
And with that, the teen gave a kick to the man where he wouldn't be able to do, what he attempted to do to Catherine, again.
The teenage male turned his head in disgust from the sight of that perverted punk lying on the ground. His eyes looked at Catherine on the ground, then he quickly turned his head.
When Catherine had made her appearance a little more decent she stood up.
"Thank you…"
The man turned to look at her.
"It was nothing, but I think we should leave this area."
"Agreed."
Catherine and the guy who had rescued her left to another walking trail.
She stopped him and looked at him.
"I know I said this before, but thank you, again."
He smiled a real, true, genuine smile and said.
"Like I said, It was nothing. Anyone with any decency would have done the same."
She couldn't help but smile back at him. "You would be surprised. My brother would say the same thing."
They walked for a little while further before she asked her question.
"What's your name?"
He seemed to think for a minute. He looked at her for the longest time before answering.
"My name's Triou Senju. What's yours?"
He flashed that smile of his again.
She smiled back and then answered. "I'm Catherine Bloom. Pleased to meet you."
"Same here."
The birds chirped over head once again. Reminding the two that they were still in a public park.
"So what are you doing around here?" Catherine asked Triou.
Triou thought again before answering. "I'm looking for a job."
"How old are you?"
"15."
'He looks a lot older than 15. Cute though.'
"Does your parents know about this? Hmm?"
The smile left Triou's face.
"Nope. They couldn't anyway even if I tried to tell them."
Catherine froze. 'Oh my gah!'
The birds' overhead once again stopped chirping. Catherine walked over to a nearby bench and sat down.
She looked over at Triou. "I'm sorry, Triou, I didn't know."
"It's ok!" He put on a grin, but Catherine knew it was fake.
He started to walk off.
'Oh no!'
"Triou!"
He stopped and turned around.
"Yes?"
"Have you ever thought about working n the circus?"
Suddenly Triou's eyes lit up. His mouth quickly worked its way into a smile that he seemed to flash alot.
"No, but I believe I could do something in one. Why?"
Catherine got up from the bench and walked over to Triou.
"Well, you see, I work in one. And we're short a person in an act. What do you think you could do?"
Triou's smile grew wider. "Trapeze."
~*~
Triou's audition only had 3 people present. The Manager of the circus, Catherine, and another man.
He was a lanky brunette, his walk was like a cat stalking it's pray. You could tell he was well built. But he was real quiet. The only time spoke to anyone he was real courteous.
The manager gave his instructions to Triou. Triou gladly obliged.
His performance lasted only for about 3 minutes. But when he climbed back down The Manager and Catherine were left speechless.
Catherine was the first one to speak.
"Triou! Where did you learn to do that?!"
Triou smiled his smile again and replied.
"Someone taught me when I was real young."
The unknown quiet man leaned forward as if to say something.
His voice was real low and quiet.
"You remind me of someone I know."
Catherine interrupted.
"Oh brother, Trowa, are you thinking about your long hared friend? What's his name?"
"Duo."
"Yeah him!"
Catherine started to giggle lightly.
I turned towards the Manager. "Well?"
He looked at me.
"I'd be an idiot not to hire you. When can you start?"
I smiled. "Today. I just gotta go take care of something first. If that's ok with you?"
"Fine, fine. Just be back before tonight." And with that the Manager left the room. Leaving me with Catherine and that other guy.
Catherine smiled at me.
"Triou?"
"Yes?"
"I would like you to meet my brother, Trowa Barton."
I grinned at Trowa. "Pleased to meet you!"
I extended my hand to meet his in a firm grip. He must have been testing me. His grip was what I expected. Hard.
Apparently I passed the test though.
He let his hand drop from the shake.
"I am pleased to meet you as well…?"
"Triou. Triou Senju."
His eyes showed the trace of a smile, but his mouth did not.
"I'm looking forward to working with you on the trapeze then, Triou."
Trowa walked away muttering something under his breath about 'duo', and 'trio'.
I turned my eyes away from Trowa when Cathy spoke to me.
"Um…sorry. What did you say, Catherine?"
She smiled a nice, warm, easy smile.
"I said why don't you just call me Cathy, like Trowa does."
I grinned at her.
"Ok Cathy."
"Now what did Trowa mean about working with me on the trapeze?"
She giggled.
"Remember how I said we was a man short for an act? Well, the trapeze is the act."
I almost laughed at the turn of events. My luck must be good today.
She continued. "You'll be working with Trowa and me in a 'special' act."
"Special?"
She laughed. "You'll see."
And with that she left also.
I smiled at her back. 'Nice figure…'
I started walking off the circus grounds. To go take care of my little 'business'.
'This circus doesn't have any idea what they just took in…'
Triou Senju went along his way to secure his hidden Gundam.

Well? What'd you think? Should I just quit now? Come on! Leave a review! ^_^ Sorry, I'm being so demanding. But I want this one to be better than the first go around. Oh and if anyone actually read the first version of E. Star, they'd notice a few things different. For one thing Dex Simon (I hated that name) has become Triou Senju. And Goldenwings has become Tri Blade Gundam. Teso's last name has also been slightly altered. So… well? Heh, R&R!!!
