Chapter 4
Quatre stared in quiet dismay at the rubble that was left of his front porch that blocked the road. Hotaru got out of the car and smirked, "Well, Winner hope you have insurance to cover that."
Quatre turned towards Duo, "You don't think that an OZ force attacked here do you?"
"They would have been noticed a long time earlier for one thing, second why would they come here, and third I don't think there would be a porch left if OZ really wanted to send out mobile dolls."
Quatre nodded sighing, leaning against the smoking porch, "Michiru maybe we should do the violin practice at your house after all."
"Lets head to your house and see if Usagi's there."
Usagi jumped up and down waving excitedly at the group, "Hey guys! It's great to see you all back."
Michiru giggled, "Yes."
Hotaru peeked around the corner of the building, she blinked in surprise, "Usagi...how did you what...What did this?"
"I did. I think it'll take some time but we'll get accustomed to our new weapons and be able to use them to their fullest power. It's just that I don't see how it's going to help us get home. I don't think Setsuna knows how to get us home either."
Hotaru nodded her head thoughtfully, "Well no sense in crying about it. We'll just keep trying until we can't try anymore. But we have more urgent things to deal with. Ashitana is the new leader of a new OZ. OZ as I've understood from Duo is a army or something like that...anyhow he's not sure what they're plans are but they're going to be bigger then ever."
"What does that have to do with us?" Usagi asked sharply partly surprised at her own reaction but letting it pass.
Hotaru gazed silently at Usagi and then past her.
"It means the Gundam Pilots will have to acquire new and better technology while at the same time new pilots."
Quatre sighed, "Heero...I can't believe you can even suggest that. But there's no other way."
Heero leaned against the frame of the door sipping a mug of (nice, hot, delicious) coco.
"You might want to come in before you freeze to death...It's not much better actually in here. Since the windows have been blasted through."
Quatre sighed again and covered his face in his hands momentarily before entering his now dilapidated mansion.
The group stood around the table as Dr.J relayed news to them, "The leader of the new OZ is Ashitana, we have no background information on her or how her plans or progress are going. We need to find and build new technology and pilots. Dr. Meiou will be joining the group."
"Setsuna, why?" Haruka questioned quietly as Setsuna appeared out of the shadows behind Dr.J.
"Senshi, Ashitana is our new enemy."
"What! How can you be so sure!" Hotaru cried out
Setsuna produced her Time Key, "We have lost nearly all our magical powers... This dimension has no magic, just guns and mechanical masterpieces, so as we have entered this dimension we have lost our magic nearly to the point where we cannot transform. So I suggest we all transform just to get the feel of it all. Also because that's the only magic that we have left to use. We can only transform and detransform."
The senshi glanced at each other sadly, before they raised their hands and transformed.
Wisps of light slowly crept out of the senshi's upraised hands, forming into a twisted circle that surrounded their bodies. The transformation was quick, they were now dressed in a trench coat of muted, dark colors. Opening the flaps of their jackets they fingered their weapons that were hooked on neatly. Learning the abilities of the weapon as they passed their fingers over the weapon. They had leg bands with (at the very least) two different types of guns attached on one leg and arm.
Usagi sighed, "I can feel it leaving me...my magic."
Setsuna looked at the solemn group around her.
"Setsuna, you haven't explained everything to us." Wufei mentioned coldly
"Any of us can do that, so I will." Hotaru glared at Wufei, "We are protectors of a different world, different galaxy then yours. There we have magical powers given to us from our respective planets to fight any evil that enters our system. We were fighting against this thingy," at this point Hotaru glanced at Haruka.
"Some kind of inky blob." Haruka let in, and nodded at Hotaru.
"It led us into this dimension. The only good clue that I think Setsuna has of Ashitana being our enemy is that, just before the ink blob leapt into the portal hole a voice said,"
"We will have the other universe to get to first." Michiru finished sighing.
"So naturally, I supposed that if we had been dropped off here then this must be the universe she was speaking of...The new OZ isn't trying to take over the colonies or anything else. Just to destroy this dimension and move on to others, is what I predict. To our dimension, it will be best Sailor Senshi," Setsuna turned to the group, "It will be best...that we stay here and stop Ashitana if it turns out that we cannot return home."
Usagi clenched her teeth, looking at her feet she covered her face and cried.
Hotaru nodded at Setsuna, "We will destroy Ashitana and the new OZ. But always protect our princess as long as we have energy to strike down our foe,"
"And air to breath as we,"
"Destroy anything that dares to harm,"
"What we love and will forevermore protect." Haruka finished, wrapping an arm around Usagi's waist.
Usagi looked up at the senshi and the pilots that stared silently at nothing, "You guys might as well come over and stay at our place. It might not be like here. But seeing as I demolished the heating system I don't see why you guys don't come over...unless you want to freeze."
"Thank you." Wufei replied, his face was blank but his eyes shown with some unnamable emotion."
Usagi smiled, "I kind of like this Michiru."
Michiru turned and looked at the group smiling, "Yes. It reminds me of a story tale. So warm and bright."
She sighed and continued pouring the tea and coco. Michiru cracked and shelled the last Chestnut (luv em) and poured them into a bowl.
"Usagi, can you get some popcorn and the thingy that pops them?" Setsuna called
"Sure, be there in a sec."
The room that they were in opened up into the kitchen and dining room. But there was a couch that acted as a wall to separate most of the rooms. (Carpeted area with a wood table just before the couch.)
"This is great! Hotdogs, popcorn, and chestnuts!" Duo laid back on the couch comfortably.
Hotaru felt her cheeks turning a heated red as Duo draped his arm over Hotaru's shoulder and pulled her back against the couch, so that her back was pressed against the couch.
Quatre and Michiru rose up quietly and opened their violin cases. Quatre quickly picked up a tune that Michiru weaved in and out of.
Usagi blinked and looked at the lone evergreen tree standing in the corner of their room.
"Christmas...I forgot about that. When is it?"
"I think it's in two weeks?"
"Two and a half."
Hotaru sighed, "Too little time to shop for me."
"You aren't going to give gifts!" Duo whined
Hotaru closed her eyes and sighed, Usagi smiled, "Hotu-chan if you don't give us anything don't expect anything from us."
Hotaru sat straight up, "You're joking!"
Haruka smirked and shook her head, "One less person to buy gifts for."
Michiru smiled as she continued the song.
"Fine...I'll buy gifts." Hotaru sighed and leaned back against the couch
"Yea! Lets see, one from Hotaru, Quatre, Wufei, Trowa, Heero, Setsuna, Haruka, Usagi, and Michiru! That makes ten gifts!"
Wufei threw a cushion at Duo's head smirking as it hit its target, "You are unbelievable Maxwell, can't even count. It's nine smart one, and besides how can you be sure any of us are going to give you gifts?"
Duo sat up, swinging his leg over Hotaru's head so that she sat between his legs, "Because you guys secretly love me!"
Heero snorted and Wufei smiled wryly, 'I wonder if the stores sell jack in the box punch toys...just open the box and punch him...ahh, the fun and glory'
"I don't get it, I mean Duo's supposed to be a gundam pilot. My shingami but all that I can think of when I'm around him is rabbit." Hotaru mentioned to Setsuna as they began to shell some more chestnuts.
"Rabbit? Why rabbit?"
"Well, rabbit's are stupid, fast in idiocy, likes to eat...and too many of them. And too many people thinking they're cute." Hotaru replied looking thoughtfully up at the ceiling.
Setsuna wrinkled her nose at the smell of burnt pie, "Well I agree. But don't you think he's cute?"
Hotaru snorted, "I won't answer that. It doesn't have to do anything with my dilemma." Hotaru swiftly walked out of the kitchen to join the rest.
Haruka appeared later in the kitchen and smirked at Setsuna's burnt pie, "Don't worry, Duo won't mind."
"I really try. I just can't cook Pie's, give me bread or cakes I can do. But pies! Ug, you'd think they were against me!"
Haruka smiled, "Well what are you going to do with it?"
"Give it to the hungry animals outside." Setsuna laughed and opened the window and was about to drop it, when it shattered in her hands.
The bullet sang through the air, hitting the cabinet just beside Haruka. Haruka shouted and grabbed Setsuna as bullets poured in from the window. "Grab our stuff, it's time we settle a score!"
"Uranus Crystal Power!"
"Pluto Crystal Power"
"Saturn Crystal Power"
"Neptune Crystal Power"
"Moon, Crystal Power!!"
The five women ducked behind the counter and blasted the wall clear away from the kitchen so that an open space was where the wall used to have been.
Duo and the others felt angry surprise at the attack, they were unarmed (except for Heero...of course) and knew they couldn't return fire without risking getting in the way of the senshi's and enemies fire.
Usagi squinted her eye and managed to get a clear shot at the hardly detectable shadow.
"Shoot, that's it! Haruka!"
Haruka bent down and withdrew a gun from her leg band and threw it over to Usagi.
'I can't use the gun I used before so this...this is the next best thing.'
Gunfire broke out shooting the gun out of Usagi's reach in midair, as she stood up to reach for it she forgot herself.
She could feel her lungs intake sharply as a single bullet lodged itself in her side.
Quatre grabbed the fallen gun, "Usagi."
Usagi felt her concentration wavering, "Quatre," she coughed and hacked before continuing, "Join the guns and give it to me."
Quatre gabbed Usagi's gun, they clicked together as they were joined.
"Here."
Usagi grabbed the gun and fought the aching pain and nausea that erupted in her as she stood up and pulled the trigger.
(slooooow motion...)
The ball of energy, came slowly out of the pistol, quickly forming into a larger ball it shot forwards towards the forest.
The senshi ran towards Usagi, "Get Cover!" Michiru yelled at the pilots.
The energyball stopped in midair in front of the forest, wisps of trailing energy shot forwards past the ball. Then it exploded...
(Back to normal motion)
The entire length of the kitchen wall and three feet more of the wall were destroyed in the blast while the counter and sink shot backwards.
Usagi was thrown backwards and hit the far wall, the senshi were blown off their feet and into the wall. The gundam pilots shielded their eyes as pieces of wood and pine tree flew into their eyes.
Wufei opened his eyes in amazement; the forest that had been in front of them was cleared completely of trees in a 30*30 foot circular area.
Michiru quickly pulled Usagi up, "Hotaru!"
Hotaru immediately kneeled down; reaching her hand out just above the wound she closed her eye. Thin purple wisps reached out and entered the wound. The bullet clunked onto the floor ominously. The wound began to get smaller, and then Hotaru gasped, she looked at her hands.
"We better get her to a hospital...My healing powers, they're gone."
Haruka scooped Usagi up in her arms, the senshi untransformed, Haruka pulled off her coat and leg bands. Her armbands slipped off of their own accord vanishing into thin air before they hit the ground.
The group watched fearfully as Usagi was pushed away towards an operating room.
"Heero? Heero Yuy?"
Heero turned, "Relena...Relena Peacecraft. I thought I'd never see you again. What are you doing in the hospital?"
"Miliardo. He was injured in a mobile doll fight. They just came on him..."
"Who is Miliardo Heero?" Hotaru asked
"Miliardo...he's an old friend of mine..." Heero shook his head, "He's Relena's brother. Part of the Peacecraft Family."
"How bad are his wounds?" Wufei glared at Relena
"Fine. He just has a temporary sprained wrist and some burns."
"Relena." Miliardo appeared rounding the corner and glanced at Heero strangely.
"Heero, it's good to see you again. What have you and the Gundam pilots been up to?"
"The New OZ."
Miliardo nodded his head, "I thought so, and they're stronger now. The talgeese didn't even make a worthy opponent for them."
Heero nodded, "It's a good thing the Developers are working on new gundam suits. They're working on one for you too. Surprisingly enough."
Miliardo smirked, "Need the extra help then?"
"We don't have a choice." Heero spat out bitterly
"Who are they?" Miliardo pointed at the four women behind Heero.
"These four women are the Senshi, they're going to help us battle the New OZ."
Miliardo smirked, "Are you sure they can take it?"
Setsuna glared icily at Miliardo, "More then you think. But we won't be in gundams."
"What! How do you think you're going to help them then!" Miliardo yelled causing a few stares.
"I have a different plan that doesn't include you earthlings to interfere with it." Setsuna was immediately surrounded by the three senshi as the note of challenge echoed in her voice.
Miliardo stared at the group for a minute before laughing, "I wasn't challenging you."
Setsuna was glad for the excuse for not having to reply as a nurse came running up to the group.
"Excuse me, um is this the Winner group?"
"Yea."
"Well, which ever one of you is Mr. Winner I have some good news for you. Mrs. Winner is going to be just fine. She'll just have to keep that bandage on for a week."
Quatre felt himself turning red from the tips of his ears and down.
"Quatre you got married?" Relena questioned.
"No! Usagi's just a friend of mine and we registered under my name."
Miliardo smiled slightly, "Who is this girl?"
"She's Usagi Tsukino. OZ decided to do a surprise attack on us. She saved us."
"With mobile dolls?"
"No, a land force unit."
Miliardo nodded, "I'll be leaving but...keep in touch." Relena and Miliardo walked out of the hospital quickly.
Usagi opened her eyes, dimly aware of a pair of arms encircling her waist, and legs wrapped around hers.
'what the' Usagi sat up and turned around, "Heero?"
Heero glanced icily up at Usagi, "You're letting cold air under the sheets."
Usagi giggled before laying back down but turning herself so she was facing Heero.
"How many times do you plan on doing this?"
"As many times as you sleep in my room."
"But, where are we then?" Usagi scanned the room slowly
"Quatre's second mansion. (Yawn) hopefully you won't destroy this one. Christmas is in a week and two days."
Usagi turned back to Heero, "Yea???"
"When are you going to go shopping?"
"I don't know sometime. Why?"
"Just wondering. Better buy an extra gift for Setsuna. She's going to be working on our gifts 24/7...the gundams will be finished around Christmas hopefully with the help of the other developers."
Usagi sighed and closed her eyes, she went into a fetal position.
Heero opened his eyes and looked at Usagi, "Usa, what are you going to give me for Christmas?"
"Depends."
"On what?"
"On lots of things."
Heero rolled his eyes and threw off the covers. Usagi rolled up into a tighter ball of herself. "Heero! What the shit made you do that! It's freezing!"
"Might as well get up."
Usagi sat up and glared at Heero as he took off his shirt and headed towards the bathroom. Usagi pulled up the covers again and threw them over herself, falling asleep minutes afterwards.
Heero glanced at Usagi's sleeping form before quietly leaving the room.
"Hey Heero! Bud, we should go and shop for Christmas presents for everyone!"
Duo yelled out cheerfully, Heero snorted, "Yeah right."
Duo sighed and hung his head, "Who the hell is not going to go shopping with me?" Duo called out, five voices replied, "Me."
Michiru giggled, "Duo you could come with us girls but I'm not sure if you'd want to seeing as,"
"Yea! I'd love to! When are we going?"
"Oh, tomorrow, we just have some short work to do before. I'll call you before we go."
Duo leaned back in his chair, "Thanks Michiru."
"Sure." Michiru and Haruka continued in their cooking Pancakes and omelet's.
Haruka glanced at Michiru, "Why'd you invite him?"
Michiru giggled, "Don't you feel the least bit sympathy for him?"
"No"
"No."
Haruka turned to see Wufei next to her looking around in the cup shelf. (yea yes, I know! A cup shelf, corny but I have a cup shelf so don't flame it but you can laugh. Lol)
Wufei smirked, "Duo too much of a baka to get sympathy."
Haruka half smirked back, "See, Michiru I'm not the only one."
Michiru rolled her eyes.
"Breakfast!!!!!!!" Hotaru yelled at the top of her voice. Jumping down from the chair she sat down and began to fork out pancakes for herself.
"I'll go and see how Usagi's doing."
"Could I go with you," Trowa asked staring intently at Setsuna
Setsuna could feel an intense blush coming on, quickly grabbing her coffee cup she took a gulp that effectively blocked her face from his.
She nodded as she drank and managed to nearly choke on the coffee before Trowa smiled slightly and asked, "You okay?"
Setsuna managed to nod an embarrassed and puzzled face at his question.
Opening the door, Setsuna gently sat down on the edge of the bed and nudged Usagi's sleeping form.
Instantaneously Usagi sat straight up, blinking and looking around herself.
"Oh, Setsuna. What's up?"
"Nothing much. I'd just like you to put your hand on this pad."
Usagi nodded her head, putting her hand down on a pad that already had a large handprint on it.
"Ouch. What the heck was that?"
"Pin prick. I need this for your gundam. Sorry."
"Oh, that's okay, but I was wondering, what are the gundams going to be like?"
"Like nothing ever before seen in the gundam world."
Usagi smiled, "Setsuna you should have graduated as a science or mechanical major."
Setsuna smiled, "Well, I would have but I preferred mathematics. It helps to be a mathematician in the world where we lived."
Usagi yawned and noticed Trowa for the first time, "Hey Trowa, how are you?"
"Fine."
"That's good, well, I'm going to take a shower. Oh, where are we and do I happen to have any other clothes besides my school uniform?"
"Yea, they're in the other room three doors down. Heero must have mistaken which room was yours."
Trowa snorted and leaned against the bedpost, Setsuna smiled quirkily before helping Usagi out of the bed.
"How is your wound?"
"Fine."
"Let me see it."
Setsuna bent down and lifted up the shirt (she's in p.j.'s) lifting the bandage delicately.
"That's good. You heal pretty fast...must be because of all that food you ate."
Usagi laughed, "So when are we going shopping for presents?"
"Tomorrow. Oh, and we've um. Dropped out of school."
"That's great news. Well, I'll see you two, later."
Trowa glanced at Setsuna, "She heals faster then normal...That wound has practically disappeared."
"It must be the silver imperium crystal."
"What?"
"Nothing..." Setsuna sighed, "I'll see you later."
Duo walked into a hunting and weaponry shop with the senshi trailing him.
"So, here's what we do, get the guys gifts and make sure between us girls that we haven't bought the same gift. Just make sure Duo gets his shopping done on time Hotaru." Michiru asked
Hotaru nodded her head smiling.
The group had split and now regrouped in the mall's O center. The mall was a three mile long (haha...yea right, but fun to fantasize) donut with a concession area in the O of the donut.
Hotaru slumped in her chair, "Do you know how hard it is to shop with him!"
Setsuna smiled, "Nope," she handed Hotaru the hand-pad, "Do me a favor and put your hand down on that please."
Hotaru pulled her hand away rubbing the palm of her hand.
"What is that? And why didn't you go shopping like the rest of us for gifts?"
"Because I'm making your gifts, I just need some DNA strands and all of that melicular stuff."
Hotaru blinked, "Okay..."
Usagi burst back into the mansion gleefully, running upstairs towards her room she slammed the door shut and locked it.
Haruka glanced up the stairway, "Are you sure that bullet ever even hit her?"
Michiru laughed, "I doubt it now."
(AN: BLA BLA BLA! IT'S GOING TO BE CHRISTMAS EVE NOW! CRAPOLO, I LUV THIS PART!)
Duo ducked as a fist soared up in the air just above him, Wufei sighed ruefully.
"Maxwell you idiot! You were supposed to stay there."
Duo sighed, "Nice try! You could have gotten me a REAL jack-in-the-box! But nooooo, you give me a punch-in-the-box!"
Wufei pensively fingered his new sword, Heero was loading his new gun and his new titanium cased laptop stood on the table.
Quatre sighed in quiet wonder as he unwrapped an artfully crafted antique violin. Restored to it's original sheen, "Michiru...how did you get this!"
Michiru smiled, "Well I'm glad you like it, I bought it at a violin shop back home..."
Setsuna handed Trowa a thin and narrow box, opening it he gasped.
"I know, you don't really play that kind of thing but I thought it would be good to showcase...I don't know I got it from a friend of mine."
Trowa held up a ivory flute which was encrusted with small gems and crystals that decorated the entire length of the flute in small tendrils of intricate gold vines.
Quatre had set up the gift opening in a large closed room with a single large glass door that arched high up onto the wall. It opened up onto a small oval marble balcony.
The rest of the room was carpeted in light strawberry pink and light (more tan) orange wallpaper. A fireplace was set in the wall across from the cherry tree doors that had silver handles and intricately designed doors.
The room was rectangular...Oh yeah, the tree was in the corner of the room next to the fireplace, large cushions were sprawled around there and a couch and table with food on it stood in the two corners on the side nearest the door. (AN:I did that just to give you an idea of what the place they're in is like)
Setsuna opened the door for the developers who entered the room containing small boxes on trolleys. The boxes were irregularly shaped, Setsuna smiled, "And now, your gifts from me and the developers."
Quatre's servants came in and started to unload the boxes from the trolleys and set them down, all together they made a line across the room.
Setsuna called each of them and told them to stand next to their box. Setsuna smiled, "Now you can go ahead and open your box."
Hotaru gasped, "Oh my gosh...Setsuna, what, how...thank you."
The others had the same expressions and thoughts in their facial expressions.
"Now, if you will allow, I will tell you why I gave you these particular gifts, what they are, what they can do, how many multiple forms they have and then questions may be asked.
The gifts before you as you know are now known as Animatons. The first ever created, organic mechanical gundams."
Duo gasped as did many of the other pilots.
Setsuna continued oblivious, "They can be somewhat like your gundam. The multiple forms that they have are Cs1, Ns2, Weapon mode, and last, Gundam mode."
Wufei looked down nearly angrily at the Komodo Dragon that he had received, "Why are they so pathetically small, and what the hell does Cs1 and Ns2 mean!"
"Cs1 means carry size, Ns2 means normal size, weaponry mode is ground battle mode and Gundam mode is for both outer space and aerial combat."
"You're kidding me! This thing! How the hell do you think we're going to dodge all of the things that the mobile dolls shoot at us!" Heero snapped
Setsuna massaged her forehead, "Horus, come here please. Maybe I could deomstrate."
A small white fluffball of an owl landed lightly on Setsuna's shoulder, we should step outside.
Out on the balcony Horus flitted over to the rail of the balcony.
"Horus, Ns2!" Setsuna yelled
Horus, grew from a small ball of feathers into a large and nearly sinister looking full grown owl. It stood out impressively against the dark blue sky.
"Horus, Weapon Mode!"
Horus shot up into the air, and flitted around in circles above the group. Opening it's mouth energy blasts shot out and burned into the ground below forming a massive hole. Every practical and unpractical weapon had been designed into the bird obviously as it continually exhibited the vast store of weapons up it's wing. Landing on the rail it squeezed lightly and immediately the rail crumbled as if it was sand.
Setsuna lifted up Horus's wing, "Plating underneath the feathers protects it from blasts and it can raise a shield in this mode. Gundam Mode!"
Horus quickly flew backwards as it increased in size to an unrecognizable state, it loomed above them. It was similar in shape to the original gundams except a few hundred feet larger. It had some recognizable features to make it out as Horus the owl, but few.
Setsuna leapt up onto the rail and tapped the hard metal on Horus, "Stronger then any man made metal from this point back. Able to withstand the Fortress Barge cannon without a dent or scratch in it. With speeds that rival light by a maximum of thirty light minutes. Weapons that have a stronger and better build. You used to have to have your gundams rebuilt or fixed after every battle, well. Ladies and Gentleman welcome to the fortieth century. This gundam is able to repair itself and has fifty times more room to hold any weapon that you had before in your old gundam. You, now have the latest and most hi-tech gundam ever made."
Haruka nodded her head, "Thank you Setsuna. For everything."
Setsuna nodded her head and smiled, "Just hope you enjoy them. Oh, and the Animatons are able to speak to you and know several languages. They were designed from your blood samples to suit your own personalities."
Usagi stroked the top of her Animatons head, she had received a bird that resembled a cross between a peacock and a hawk. It had long headfeathers that brushed against it's back and a tail that draped down about ten inches. It was a creamy white color with brown eyes.
A fox brushed against Usagi's shoulder and was heading towards Setsuna who was closing the patio doors.
"Excuse me?"
The fox turned and sat down wrapping its bushy tail around itself.
"Yes? Is there something I could do for you?"
"Where's your pilot?"
The fox looked pensive, "Miliardo Peacecraft. But he's not here unfortunately. I must ask your developer if she knows why."
Usagi nodded her head watching the fox as it disappeared among the crowd of feet, boxes and animatons.
Usagi's animaton turned to Usagi from its perch on her arm.
"What shall you call me?"
"I'm going to call you...Faramir."
Michiru had received a dark brown otter and sat before the fire with Haruka and her russet colored golden eagle.
Hotaru watched as midnight black panther rolled and wrestled on the floor with a Duo's tawny Lynx.
Heero was typing on his laptop, at his feet a grayish white Timber Wolf lay majestically at his feet.
Quatre was hand feeding his falcon, that was perched on Trowa's back as he stroked his Tiger's silky fur.
Wufei's animaton, a komodo dragon's forked tongue smelled the air as it watched Duo's lynx wrestling the panther. It slipped up to Wufei's shoulder, it's hook shaped claws tapped restlessly on his back.
Miliardo entered the room unnoticed until he joined the group with his fox peeping out of his pocket.
Horus's large yellow orb-like eyes watched the fire quietly going stupid in it's drowsy state.
Most of the Animatons were in there Cs1 form, only Miliardo, Heero, Michiru, and Usagi had there animtons in Ns2 form.
Heero's animaton named Noil (lion backwards) snapped it's jaws lazily at Duo's lynx as it accidentally bumped into him.
Morning came slowly the next day, Christmas, the group opened the rest of their gifts before running out into the large expanse of Quatre's yard.
Usagi was the first to get hit by the icy ball of snow, spitting out snow she rounded up a ball and threw it at Hotaru who ducked ending it to hit onto Miliardo's face.
Picking up a clump of snow he started throwing it any person within his target.
Duo slipped and fell and was immediately caked with ten or so snowballs.
The Animatons were either running or flying about crazily daring to hope that they wouldn't get hit by the snowballs. Finally they transformed into their Ns2 and started their own combat with their pilots.
Hey. Hope you liked the last bit...I did anyway. Please, if you like my animaton Idea tell me! Because I thought it would be great...but haha, I'm not so sure anymore if you guys would. Anyway. Please review and Luv ya~QT-chan

Chapter 4
Quatre stared in quiet dismay at the rubble that was left of his front porch that blocked the road. Hotaru got out of the car and smirked, "Well, Winner hope you have insurance to cover that."
Quatre turned towards Duo, "You don't think that an OZ force attacked here do you?"
"They would have been noticed a long time earlier for one thing, second why would they come here, and third I don't think there would be a porch left if OZ really wanted to send out mobile dolls."
Quatre nodded sighing, leaning against the smoking porch, "Michiru maybe we should do the violin practice at your house after all."
"Lets head to your house and see if Usagi's there."
Usagi jumped up and down waving excitedly at the group, "Hey guys! It's great to see you all back."
Michiru giggled, "Yes."
Hotaru peeked around the corner of the building, she blinked in surprise, "Usagi...how did you what...What did this?"
"I did. I think it'll take some time but we'll get accustomed to our new weapons and be able to use them to their fullest power. It's just that I don't see how it's going to help us get home. I don't think Setsuna knows how to get us home either."
Hotaru nodded her head thoughtfully, "Well no sense in crying about it. We'll just keep trying until we can't try anymore. But we have more urgent things to deal with. Ashitana is the new leader of a new OZ. OZ as I've understood from Duo is a army or something like that...anyhow he's not sure what they're plans are but they're going to be bigger then ever."
"What does that have to do with us?" Usagi asked sharply partly surprised at her own reaction but letting it pass.
Hotaru gazed silently at Usagi and then past her.
"It means the Gundam Pilots will have to acquire new and better technology while at the same time new pilots."
Quatre sighed, "Heero...I can't believe you can even suggest that. But there's no other way."
Heero leaned against the frame of the door sipping a mug of (nice, hot, delicious) coco.
"You might want to come in before you freeze to death...It's not much better actually in here. Since the windows have been blasted through."
Quatre sighed again and covered his face in his hands momentarily before entering his now dilapidated mansion.
The group stood around the table as Dr.J relayed news to them, "The leader of the new OZ is Ashitana, we have no background information on her or how her plans or progress are going. We need to find and build new technology and pilots. Dr. Meiou will be joining the group."
"Setsuna, why?" Haruka questioned quietly as Setsuna appeared out of the shadows behind Dr.J.
"Senshi, Ashitana is our new enemy."
"What! How can you be so sure!" Hotaru cried out
Setsuna produced her Time Key, "We have lost nearly all our magical powers... This dimension has no magic, just guns and mechanical masterpieces, so as we have entered this dimension we have lost our magic nearly to the point where we cannot transform. So I suggest we all transform just to get the feel of it all. Also because that's the only magic that we have left to use. We can only transform and detransform."
The senshi glanced at each other sadly, before they raised their hands and transformed.
Wisps of light slowly crept out of the senshi's upraised hands, forming into a twisted circle that surrounded their bodies. The transformation was quick, they were now dressed in a trench coat of muted, dark colors. Opening the flaps of their jackets they fingered their weapons that were hooked on neatly. Learning the abilities of the weapon as they passed their fingers over the weapon. They had leg bands with (at the very least) two different types of guns attached on one leg and arm.
Usagi sighed, "I can feel it leaving me...my magic."
Setsuna looked at the solemn group around her.
"Setsuna, you haven't explained everything to us." Wufei mentioned coldly
"Any of us can do that, so I will." Hotaru glared at Wufei, "We are protectors of a different world, different galaxy then yours. There we have magical powers given to us from our respective planets to fight any evil that enters our system. We were fighting against this thingy," at this point Hotaru glanced at Haruka.
"Some kind of inky blob." Haruka let in, and nodded at Hotaru.
"It led us into this dimension. The only good clue that I think Setsuna has of Ashitana being our enemy is that, just before the ink blob leapt into the portal hole a voice said,"
"We will have the other universe to get to first." Michiru finished sighing.
"So naturally, I supposed that if we had been dropped off here then this must be the universe she was speaking of...The new OZ isn't trying to take over the colonies or anything else. Just to destroy this dimension and move on to others, is what I predict. To our dimension, it will be best Sailor Senshi," Setsuna turned to the group, "It will be best...that we stay here and stop Ashitana if it turns out that we cannot return home."
Usagi clenched her teeth, looking at her feet she covered her face and cried.
Hotaru nodded at Setsuna, "We will destroy Ashitana and the new OZ. But always protect our princess as long as we have energy to strike down our foe,"
"And air to breath as we,"
"Destroy anything that dares to harm,"
"What we love and will forevermore protect." Haruka finished, wrapping an arm around Usagi's waist.
Usagi looked up at the senshi and the pilots that stared silently at nothing, "You guys might as well come over and stay at our place. It might not be like here. But seeing as I demolished the heating system I don't see why you guys don't come over...unless you want to freeze."
"Thank you." Wufei replied, his face was blank but his eyes shown with some unnamable emotion."
Usagi smiled, "I kind of like this Michiru."
Michiru turned and looked at the group smiling, "Yes. It reminds me of a story tale. So warm and bright."
She sighed and continued pouring the tea and coco. Michiru cracked and shelled the last Chestnut (luv em) and poured them into a bowl.
"Usagi, can you get some popcorn and the thingy that pops them?" Setsuna called
"Sure, be there in a sec."
The room that they were in opened up into the kitchen and dining room. But there was a couch that acted as a wall to separate most of the rooms. (Carpeted area with a wood table just before the couch.)
"This is great! Hotdogs, popcorn, and chestnuts!" Duo laid back on the couch comfortably.
Hotaru felt her cheeks turning a heated red as Duo draped his arm over Hotaru's shoulder and pulled her back against the couch, so that her back was pressed against the couch.
Quatre and Michiru rose up quietly and opened their violin cases. Quatre quickly picked up a tune that Michiru weaved in and out of.
Usagi blinked and looked at the lone evergreen tree standing in the corner of their room.
"Christmas...I forgot about that. When is it?"
"I think it's in two weeks?"
"Two and a half."
Hotaru sighed, "Too little time to shop for me."
"You aren't going to give gifts!" Duo whined
Hotaru closed her eyes and sighed, Usagi smiled, "Hotu-chan if you don't give us anything don't expect anything from us."
Hotaru sat straight up, "You're joking!"
Haruka smirked and shook her head, "One less person to buy gifts for."
Michiru smiled as she continued the song.
"Fine...I'll buy gifts." Hotaru sighed and leaned back against the couch
"Yea! Lets see, one from Hotaru, Quatre, Wufei, Trowa, Heero, Setsuna, Haruka, Usagi, and Michiru! That makes ten gifts!"
Wufei threw a cushion at Duo's head smirking as it hit its target, "You are unbelievable Maxwell, can't even count. It's nine smart one, and besides how can you be sure any of us are going to give you gifts?"
Duo sat up, swinging his leg over Hotaru's head so that she sat between his legs, "Because you guys secretly love me!"
Heero snorted and Wufei smiled wryly, 'I wonder if the stores sell jack in the box punch toys...just open the box and punch him...ahh, the fun and glory'
"I don't get it, I mean Duo's supposed to be a gundam pilot. My shingami but all that I can think of when I'm around him is rabbit." Hotaru mentioned to Setsuna as they began to shell some more chestnuts.
"Rabbit? Why rabbit?"
"Well, rabbit's are stupid, fast in idiocy, likes to eat...and too many of them. And too many people thinking they're cute." Hotaru replied looking thoughtfully up at the ceiling.
Setsuna wrinkled her nose at the smell of burnt pie, "Well I agree. But don't you think he's cute?"
Hotaru snorted, "I won't answer that. It doesn't have to do anything with my dilemma." Hotaru swiftly walked out of the kitchen to join the rest.
Haruka appeared later in the kitchen and smirked at Setsuna's burnt pie, "Don't worry, Duo won't mind."
"I really try. I just can't cook Pie's, give me bread or cakes I can do. But pies! Ug, you'd think they were against me!"
Haruka smiled, "Well what are you going to do with it?"
"Give it to the hungry animals outside." Setsuna laughed and opened the window and was about to drop it, when it shattered in her hands.
The bullet sang through the air, hitting the cabinet just beside Haruka. Haruka shouted and grabbed Setsuna as bullets poured in from the window. "Grab our stuff, it's time we settle a score!"
"Uranus Crystal Power!"
"Pluto Crystal Power"
"Saturn Crystal Power"
"Neptune Crystal Power"
"Moon, Crystal Power!!"
The five women ducked behind the counter and blasted the wall clear away from the kitchen so that an open space was where the wall used to have been.
Duo and the others felt angry surprise at the attack, they were unarmed (except for Heero...of course) and knew they couldn't return fire without risking getting in the way of the senshi's and enemies fire.
Usagi squinted her eye and managed to get a clear shot at the hardly detectable shadow.
"Shoot, that's it! Haruka!"
Haruka bent down and withdrew a gun from her leg band and threw it over to Usagi.
'I can't use the gun I used before so this...this is the next best thing.'
Gunfire broke out shooting the gun out of Usagi's reach in midair, as she stood up to reach for it she forgot herself.
She could feel her lungs intake sharply as a single bullet lodged itself in her side.
Quatre grabbed the fallen gun, "Usagi."
Usagi felt her concentration wavering, "Quatre," she coughed and hacked before continuing, "Join the guns and give it to me."
Quatre gabbed Usagi's gun, they clicked together as they were joined.
"Here."
Usagi grabbed the gun and fought the aching pain and nausea that erupted in her as she stood up and pulled the trigger.
(slooooow motion...)
The ball of energy, came slowly out of the pistol, quickly forming into a larger ball it shot forwards towards the forest.
The senshi ran towards Usagi, "Get Cover!" Michiru yelled at the pilots.
The energyball stopped in midair in front of the forest, wisps of trailing energy shot forwards past the ball. Then it exploded...
(Back to normal motion)
The entire length of the kitchen wall and three feet more of the wall were destroyed in the blast while the counter and sink shot backwards.
Usagi was thrown backwards and hit the far wall, the senshi were blown off their feet and into the wall. The gundam pilots shielded their eyes as pieces of wood and pine tree flew into their eyes.
Wufei opened his eyes in amazement; the forest that had been in front of them was cleared completely of trees in a 30*30 foot circular area.
Michiru quickly pulled Usagi up, "Hotaru!"
Hotaru immediately kneeled down; reaching her hand out just above the wound she closed her eye. Thin purple wisps reached out and entered the wound. The bullet clunked onto the floor ominously. The wound began to get smaller, and then Hotaru gasped, she looked at her hands.
"We better get her to a hospital...My healing powers, they're gone."
Haruka scooped Usagi up in her arms, the senshi untransformed, Haruka pulled off her coat and leg bands. Her armbands slipped off of their own accord vanishing into thin air before they hit the ground.
The group watched fearfully as Usagi was pushed away towards an operating room.
"Heero? Heero Yuy?"
Heero turned, "Relena...Relena Peacecraft. I thought I'd never see you again. What are you doing in the hospital?"
"Miliardo. He was injured in a mobile doll fight. They just came on him..."
"Who is Miliardo Heero?" Hotaru asked
"Miliardo...he's an old friend of mine..." Heero shook his head, "He's Relena's brother. Part of the Peacecraft Family."
"How bad are his wounds?" Wufei glared at Relena
"Fine. He just has a temporary sprained wrist and some burns."
"Relena." Miliardo appeared rounding the corner and glanced at Heero strangely.
"Heero, it's good to see you again. What have you and the Gundam pilots been up to?"
"The New OZ."
Miliardo nodded his head, "I thought so, and they're stronger now. The talgeese didn't even make a worthy opponent for them."
Heero nodded, "It's a good thing the Developers are working on new gundam suits. They're working on one for you too. Surprisingly enough."
Miliardo smirked, "Need the extra help then?"
"We don't have a choice." Heero spat out bitterly
"Who are they?" Miliardo pointed at the four women behind Heero.
"These four women are the Senshi, they're going to help us battle the New OZ."
Miliardo smirked, "Are you sure they can take it?"
Setsuna glared icily at Miliardo, "More then you think. But we won't be in gundams."
"What! How do you think you're going to help them then!" Miliardo yelled causing a few stares.
"I have a different plan that doesn't include you earthlings to interfere with it." Setsuna was immediately surrounded by the three senshi as the note of challenge echoed in her voice.
Miliardo stared at the group for a minute before laughing, "I wasn't challenging you."
Setsuna was glad for the excuse for not having to reply as a nurse came running up to the group.
"Excuse me, um is this the Winner group?"
"Yea."
"Well, which ever one of you is Mr. Winner I have some good news for you. Mrs. Winner is going to be just fine. She'll just have to keep that bandage on for a week."
Quatre felt himself turning red from the tips of his ears and down.
"Quatre you got married?" Relena questioned.
"No! Usagi's just a friend of mine and we registered under my name."
Miliardo smiled slightly, "Who is this girl?"
"She's Usagi Tsukino. OZ decided to do a surprise attack on us. She saved us."
"With mobile dolls?"
"No, a land force unit."
Miliardo nodded, "I'll be leaving but...keep in touch." Relena and Miliardo walked out of the hospital quickly.
Usagi opened her eyes, dimly aware of a pair of arms encircling her waist, and legs wrapped around hers.
'what the' Usagi sat up and turned around, "Heero?"
Heero glanced icily up at Usagi, "You're letting cold air under the sheets."
Usagi giggled before laying back down but turning herself so she was facing Heero.
"How many times do you plan on doing this?"
"As many times as you sleep in my room."
"But, where are we then?" Usagi scanned the room slowly
"Quatre's second mansion. (Yawn) hopefully you won't destroy this one. Christmas is in a week and two days."
Usagi turned back to Heero, "Yea???"
"When are you going to go shopping?"
"I don't know sometime. Why?"
"Just wondering. Better buy an extra gift for Setsuna. She's going to be working on our gifts 24/7...the gundams will be finished around Christmas hopefully with the help of the other developers."
Usagi sighed and closed her eyes, she went into a fetal position.
Heero opened his eyes and looked at Usagi, "Usa, what are you going to give me for Christmas?"
"Depends."
"On what?"
"On lots of things."
Heero rolled his eyes and threw off the covers. Usagi rolled up into a tighter ball of herself. "Heero! What the shit made you do that! It's freezing!"
"Might as well get up."
Usagi sat up and glared at Heero as he took off his shirt and headed towards the bathroom. Usagi pulled up the covers again and threw them over herself, falling asleep minutes afterwards.
Heero glanced at Usagi's sleeping form before quietly leaving the room.
"Hey Heero! Bud, we should go and shop for Christmas presents for everyone!"
Duo yelled out cheerfully, Heero snorted, "Yeah right."
Duo sighed and hung his head, "Who the hell is not going to go shopping with me?" Duo called out, five voices replied, "Me."
Michiru giggled, "Duo you could come with us girls but I'm not sure if you'd want to seeing as,"
"Yea! I'd love to! When are we going?"
"Oh, tomorrow, we just have some short work to do before. I'll call you before we go."
Duo leaned back in his chair, "Thanks Michiru."
"Sure." Michiru and Haruka continued in their cooking Pancakes and omelet's.
Haruka glanced at Michiru, "Why'd you invite him?"
Michiru giggled, "Don't you feel the least bit sympathy for him?"
"No"
"No."
Haruka turned to see Wufei next to her looking around in the cup shelf. (yea yes, I know! A cup shelf, corny but I have a cup shelf so don't flame it but you can laugh. Lol)
Wufei smirked, "Duo too much of a baka to get sympathy."
Haruka half smirked back, "See, Michiru I'm not the only one."
Michiru rolled her eyes.
"Breakfast!!!!!!!" Hotaru yelled at the top of her voice. Jumping down from the chair she sat down and began to fork out pancakes for herself.
"I'll go and see how Usagi's doing."
"Could I go with you," Trowa asked staring intently at Setsuna
Setsuna could feel an intense blush coming on, quickly grabbing her coffee cup she took a gulp that effectively blocked her face from his.
She nodded as she drank and managed to nearly choke on the coffee before Trowa smiled slightly and asked, "You okay?"
Setsuna managed to nod an embarrassed and puzzled face at his question.
Opening the door, Setsuna gently sat down on the edge of the bed and nudged Usagi's sleeping form.
Instantaneously Usagi sat straight up, blinking and looking around herself.
"Oh, Setsuna. What's up?"
"Nothing much. I'd just like you to put your hand on this pad."
Usagi nodded her head, putting her hand down on a pad that already had a large handprint on it.
"Ouch. What the heck was that?"
"Pin prick. I need this for your gundam. Sorry."
"Oh, that's okay, but I was wondering, what are the gundams going to be like?"
"Like nothing ever before seen in the gundam world."
Usagi smiled, "Setsuna you should have graduated as a science or mechanical major."
Setsuna smiled, "Well, I would have but I preferred mathematics. It helps to be a mathematician in the world where we lived."
Usagi yawned and noticed Trowa for the first time, "Hey Trowa, how are you?"
"Fine."
"That's good, well, I'm going to take a shower. Oh, where are we and do I happen to have any other clothes besides my school uniform?"
"Yea, they're in the other room three doors down. Heero must have mistaken which room was yours."
Trowa snorted and leaned against the bedpost, Setsuna smiled quirkily before helping Usagi out of the bed.
"How is your wound?"
"Fine."
"Let me see it."
Setsuna bent down and lifted up the shirt (she's in p.j.'s) lifting the bandage delicately.
"That's good. You heal pretty fast...must be because of all that food you ate."
Usagi laughed, "So when are we going shopping for presents?"
"Tomorrow. Oh, and we've um. Dropped out of school."
"That's great news. Well, I'll see you two, later."
Trowa glanced at Setsuna, "She heals faster then normal...That wound has practically disappeared."
"It must be the silver imperium crystal."
"What?"
"Nothing..." Setsuna sighed, "I'll see you later."
Duo walked into a hunting and weaponry shop with the senshi trailing him.
"So, here's what we do, get the guys gifts and make sure between us girls that we haven't bought the same gift. Just make sure Duo gets his shopping done on time Hotaru." Michiru asked
Hotaru nodded her head smiling.
The group had split and now regrouped in the mall's O center. The mall was a three mile long (haha...yea right, but fun to fantasize) donut with a concession area in the O of the donut.
Hotaru slumped in her chair, "Do you know how hard it is to shop with him!"
Setsuna smiled, "Nope," she handed Hotaru the hand-pad, "Do me a favor and put your hand down on that please."
Hotaru pulled her hand away rubbing the palm of her hand.
"What is that? And why didn't you go shopping like the rest of us for gifts?"
"Because I'm making your gifts, I just need some DNA strands and all of that melicular stuff."
Hotaru blinked, "Okay..."
Usagi burst back into the mansion gleefully, running upstairs towards her room she slammed the door shut and locked it.
Haruka glanced up the stairway, "Are you sure that bullet ever even hit her?"
Michiru laughed, "I doubt it now."
(AN: BLA BLA BLA! IT'S GOING TO BE CHRISTMAS EVE NOW! CRAPOLO, I LUV THIS PART!)
Duo ducked as a fist soared up in the air just above him, Wufei sighed ruefully.
"Maxwell you idiot! You were supposed to stay there."
Duo sighed, "Nice try! You could have gotten me a REAL jack-in-the-box! But nooooo, you give me a punch-in-the-box!"
Wufei pensively fingered his new sword, Heero was loading his new gun and his new titanium cased laptop stood on the table.
Quatre sighed in quiet wonder as he unwrapped an artfully crafted antique violin. Restored to it's original sheen, "Michiru...how did you get this!"
Michiru smiled, "Well I'm glad you like it, I bought it at a violin shop back home..."
Setsuna handed Trowa a thin and narrow box, opening it he gasped.
"I know, you don't really play that kind of thing but I thought it would be good to showcase...I don't know I got it from a friend of mine."
Trowa held up a ivory flute which was encrusted with small gems and crystals that decorated the entire length of the flute in small tendrils of intricate gold vines.
Quatre had set up the gift opening in a large closed room with a single large glass door that arched high up onto the wall. It opened up onto a small oval marble balcony.
The rest of the room was carpeted in light strawberry pink and light (more tan) orange wallpaper. A fireplace was set in the wall across from the cherry tree doors that had silver handles and intricately designed doors.
The room was rectangular...Oh yeah, the tree was in the corner of the room next to the fireplace, large cushions were sprawled around there and a couch and table with food on it stood in the two corners on the side nearest the door. (AN:I did that just to give you an idea of what the place they're in is like)
Setsuna opened the door for the developers who entered the room containing small boxes on trolleys. The boxes were irregularly shaped, Setsuna smiled, "And now, your gifts from me and the developers."
Quatre's servants came in and started to unload the boxes from the trolleys and set them down, all together they made a line across the room.
Setsuna called each of them and told them to stand next to their box. Setsuna smiled, "Now you can go ahead and open your box."
Hotaru gasped, "Oh my gosh...Setsuna, what, how...thank you."
The others had the same expressions and thoughts in their facial expressions.
"Now, if you will allow, I will tell you why I gave you these particular gifts, what they are, what they can do, how many multiple forms they have and then questions may be asked.
The gifts before you as you know are now known as Animatons. The first ever created, organic mechanical gundams."
Duo gasped as did many of the other pilots.
Setsuna continued oblivious, "They can be somewhat like your gundam. The multiple forms that they have are Cs1, Ns2, Weapon mode, and last, Gundam mode."
Wufei looked down nearly angrily at the Komodo Dragon that he had received, "Why are they so pathetically small, and what the hell does Cs1 and Ns2 mean!"
"Cs1 means carry size, Ns2 means normal size, weaponry mode is ground battle mode and Gundam mode is for both outer space and aerial combat."
"You're kidding me! This thing! How the hell do you think we're going to dodge all of the things that the mobile dolls shoot at us!" Heero snapped
Setsuna massaged her forehead, "Horus, come here please. Maybe I could deomstrate."
A small white fluffball of an owl landed lightly on Setsuna's shoulder, we should step outside.
Out on the balcony Horus flitted over to the rail of the balcony.
"Horus, Ns2!" Setsuna yelled
Horus, grew from a small ball of feathers into a large and nearly sinister looking full grown owl. It stood out impressively against the dark blue sky.
"Horus, Weapon Mode!"
Horus shot up into the air, and flitted around in circles above the group. Opening it's mouth energy blasts shot out and burned into the ground below forming a massive hole. Every practical and unpractical weapon had been designed into the bird obviously as it continually exhibited the vast store of weapons up it's wing. Landing on the rail it squeezed lightly and immediately the rail crumbled as if it was sand.
Setsuna lifted up Horus's wing, "Plating underneath the feathers protects it from blasts and it can raise a shield in this mode. Gundam Mode!"
Horus quickly flew backwards as it increased in size to an unrecognizable state, it loomed above them. It was similar in shape to the original gundams except a few hundred feet larger. It had some recognizable features to make it out as Horus the owl, but few.
Setsuna leapt up onto the rail and tapped the hard metal on Horus, "Stronger then any man made metal from this point back. Able to withstand the Fortress Barge cannon without a dent or scratch in it. With speeds that rival light by a maximum of thirty light minutes. Weapons that have a stronger and better build. You used to have to have your gundams rebuilt or fixed after every battle, well. Ladies and Gentleman welcome to the fortieth century. This gundam is able to repair itself and has fifty times more room to hold any weapon that you had before in your old gundam. You, now have the latest and most hi-tech gundam ever made."
Haruka nodded her head, "Thank you Setsuna. For everything."
Setsuna nodded her head and smiled, "Just hope you enjoy them. Oh, and the Animatons are able to speak to you and know several languages. They were designed from your blood samples to suit your own personalities."
Usagi stroked the top of her Animatons head, she had received a bird that resembled a cross between a peacock and a hawk. It had long headfeathers that brushed against it's back and a tail that draped down about ten inches. It was a creamy white color with brown eyes.
A fox brushed against Usagi's shoulder and was heading towards Setsuna who was closing the patio doors.
"Excuse me?"
The fox turned and sat down wrapping its bushy tail around itself.
"Yes? Is there something I could do for you?"
"Where's your pilot?"
The fox looked pensive, "Miliardo Peacecraft. But he's not here unfortunately. I must ask your developer if she knows why."
Usagi nodded her head watching the fox as it disappeared among the crowd of feet, boxes and animatons.
Usagi's animaton turned to Usagi from its perch on her arm.
"What shall you call me?"
"I'm going to call you...Faramir."
Michiru had received a dark brown otter and sat before the fire with Haruka and her russet colored golden eagle.
Hotaru watched as midnight black panther rolled and wrestled on the floor with a Duo's tawny Lynx.
Heero was typing on his laptop, at his feet a grayish white Timber Wolf lay majestically at his feet.
Quatre was hand feeding his falcon, that was perched on Trowa's back as he stroked his Tiger's silky fur.
Wufei's animaton, a komodo dragon's forked tongue smelled the air as it watched Duo's lynx wrestling the panther. It slipped up to Wufei's shoulder, it's hook shaped claws tapped restlessly on his back.
Miliardo entered the room unnoticed until he joined the group with his fox peeping out of his pocket.
Horus's large yellow orb-like eyes watched the fire quietly going stupid in it's drowsy state.
Most of the Animatons were in there Cs1 form, only Miliardo, Heero, Michiru, and Usagi had there animtons in Ns2 form.
Heero's animaton named Noil (lion backwards) snapped it's jaws lazily at Duo's lynx as it accidentally bumped into him.
Morning came slowly the next day, Christmas, the group opened the rest of their gifts before running out into the large expanse of Quatre's yard.
Usagi was the first to get hit by the icy ball of snow, spitting out snow she rounded up a ball and threw it at Hotaru who ducked ending it to hit onto Miliardo's face.
Picking up a clump of snow he started throwing it any person within his target.
Duo slipped and fell and was immediately caked with ten or so snowballs.
The Animatons were either running or flying about crazily daring to hope that they wouldn't get hit by the snowballs. Finally they transformed into their Ns2 and started their own combat with their pilots.
Hey. Hope you liked the last bit...I did anyway. Please, if you like my animaton Idea tell me! Because I thought it would be great...but haha, I'm not so sure anymore if you guys would. Anyway. Please review and Luv ya~QT-chan
