"Where did Trowa go?" boomed the Captain.
"Uh, sir, I think he escaped with Relena and Heero." The soldier stuttered.
The captain shook with anger. All the people on that deck stepped back and braced themselves. To their surprise, nothing happened. In fact, the captain laughed. Everyone was confused at the captain's strange behavior
"Sir, are you all right?"
"Of course, young man. When you are old like me, you learn to deal with disappointment. But, you also learn to get revenge and to take back what is rightfully yours." The captain said.
Everyone stared.

When they finally reached the abandoned space station, Duo was there to greet them.
"What took you guys so long and who is that?" Duo asked after noticing another person.
"This is Trowa Barton. Relena says that he is a Gundam Pilot like us. I don't know but I trust her so I brought him along. If he is lying it won't really matter." He winked at Duo and a smile appeared on his face.
"I see. Ok Trowa. Explain yourself." Duo said devilishly.
"He can't, uh, explain himself. He doesn't remember anything." Relena said
"Well, all I remember is being pushed into a box and a bright light washing over me and then nothing." Trowa explained.
"Hmmm, bright light huh? I think that was that new ray they created. It acts like a brainwasher but its new. Not yet tested." Heero said.
"Maybe they tested it on him. I heard the captain was getting new recruits really fast now." Duo added.
"Whatever the reason, he was brainwashed, and they gave him a new memory and all was bad." Relena said, "I think we should all just tell him the truth about his past and show in where Heavyarms is."
"What if its trickery? What if he is playing dumb?" Duo said in exasperation.
"Well, I think we should trust him," said as Heero walked around Trowa, "he looks like Gundam material. The body, the age is right. 15 right?"
"Yes"
"I think it fits really well, the description I mean. I have one question Relena."
"And what would that be?"
"Where is Heavyarms and I have not a clue about Trowas past." He said
"I can take care of that. I knew his father and mother when I was younger and my father was really close. That's how he died. Your father died with mine in an explosion. I would always go and play with their son. That was you, Trowa. Of course, your name was not Trowa. Even I don't remember what your name was but that doesn't matter now. Your mother was the nicest ever. She always used to make cookies and play with us. When our fathers died, she went to take us to another place to live, you know, like moving houses. When we got there, some men were standing around. After some time they started quarreling, fighting and one of the soldiers shot your mother. It was a sad day." Relena said.
When Relena finished, Duo was in tears.
"Oh Duo." Sighed Heero.
"I see now. I was working with the one that I wanted to kill all along. I don't believe it." Trowa said, looking at the floor.
"It's all right Trowa. You had no idea. It's not your fault." Relena said.
"If it's all right, I'd like to ask another question."
"It's ok. Go ahead, Trowa" Relena said, kindly.
"What are Gundams?"
"Gundams a killer machines. They were built for 5 of us. Duo and I are 2 of them. There is Wufei and Quatre. You will meet them later. They are made for total destruction and to help us on our missions. They are very powerful and it takes a lot of strength handle them correctly and accurately." Heero explained while working on his Gundam.
"This," he said as he pressed a button on the side of the wall, "is Wing 0, my gundam."
A hook at the top pulled up a sheet that covered something massive. When it revealed itself, Trowa backed away.
"Whoa." He murmured under his breath.
"Heero, I need to talk to you for a moment in private." Relena said.
"Busted!" Duo said, pointing a finger at Heero.
They walked into another room.
"What is it Relena?"
"It's about Heavyarms. You know where the asteroid belt is? The one located after Mars?"
"Yeah, What about it?"
"Heavyarms is on one of those asteroids." Relena said.
"What?" Heero yelled, "do you have any idea how many of those things make up that belt?"
"Heero calm down. It's one the biggest one at the end of the belt. You will see as you get there an asteroid that seems to have a binding to it. Its on that one."
"Ok. I'll see if I can find it."
"I'm coming with you."
"What, are you nuts!?" Heero exclaimed.
"Not at the least but that asteroid is as big as a moon. Only I know where the Gundam is hidden."
"Fine. We leave first thing tomorrow." Heero said, defeated, "Why did you have to put it on an asteroid anyway?"
"Well, we didn't want anyone to find it. Who would look at every single asteroid?"
Heero shook his head and walked out of the room.
*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*
Duo was talking to Trowa when Heero walked back into the main room.
"So what did you get scolded for?" Duo asked.
"I didn't get scolded. We are going after Heavyarms tomorrow."
"We? Who's we?"
"Relena and I." Heero said.
"What?! You are going to take Relena. What if you are attacked?" Duo said standing up.
"I told her that but she insists that she comes along. Besides, only she knows where the Gundam is hidden. I can't argue and I definitely can't hit her."
"Then I will." Duo said.
"Hey! I don't think so." Heero said as he took hold of Duo's shirt to stop him.
"Oh sorry. I forgot she was your girlfriend." Duo said sarcastically.
Heero turned and walked away.
"Where did Trowa go?" boomed the Captain.
"Uh, sir, I think he escaped with Relena and Heero." The soldier stuttered.
