Chapter 6
After Colony 197
Lagrange Point 1 Colony Cluster...
There is a bright flash of light among the trees and two figures appear: Preventer Agent and Agent Fire. Both of them are dazed from the sudden speed of the trip, but they had done it. Now the are the first humans to ever travel between universes.
"Ugh...my eyes..." moans Preventer, shaking his head.
"Did we make it?" asks Fire, squinting his eyes in a vain attempt to see. But all he can make out are the outlines of trees.
"I...I think we did it!" he yells with a cheer. Preventer, now regaining more of his own sight, also joins in the celebration. After the two spend about ten minutes congratulating eachother on not being lost on the way, Preventer turns his attention to his Palm Pilot.
"You know what? Our 'partner' didn't tell us where we were going before we left the UBB. Maybe it says something in here," says Preventer, checking out the files on the hand-held computer. Most of them, as it turns out, are either encrypted or password protected...except one.
"Try that," says Fire, pointing a file called 'C:/PROGRAM/INS=A.TXT'. Preventer does so and finally finds their instructions on what to do.
"Whoa...according to this file our first destination is supposed to be the year 197 of the After Colony era. And we are supposed to..." says Preventer, trailing off at the end.
"...Capture Gundam pilot Heero Yui," finishes Fire.
"Well, at least he gave us a schedule of where Heero is and when. But how did he know if we are the first ones to come from our world?" asks Preventer, looking up at Fire, who is already walking towards the road in the distance.
"We'll worry about that later. Now, lets find Heero," replies Fire as his friend runs to catch up.

GP Prison F Mental Ward...
"NO! STAY AWAY!!!" yells Assistant Falken, trying to run away from the demons...the demons of his fallen brothers.
"You should have died with us, Falken..." moans the bloody spectre of Krakenhaus, walking closer to the cloned moderator.
"It was your destiny..." continues DHD, part of his head missing and his blood still flowing down with chunks of skull.
"Please...don't come any closer..." whimpers Assistant Falken, falling on his knees with tears rolling down his face.
"Let us release your pain..." moans the ghost of the Lord Maxwell clone, his voice being the only thing giving away his identity since his body is burned beyond recognition. All of the ghosts slowly limp closer to Falken...closer...closer...
"AHH!!" screams Assistant Falken, sweat going down his face as he looks around the dark, padded room. As he collects himself, he recalls what had happened and the rage overcomes him again. And yet again, he stands and starts yelling...yelling for Preventer to appear...yelling for the ghosts to leave him alone...yelling to get the hell out.
_______________________________________________________________________
"How long has he been like this?" asks the masked man, dressed in a black suit
"According to the doctors, for about five days. He keeps blaming Preventer for everything and demands that the doctors make the 'ghosts of his brothers' leave him alone." replies a similarly dressed and masked man, although this one is about two inches shorter.
"Shall we go in?" asks a third man in black, opening the door to Assistant Falken's cell. The three the masked men walk into the cell as the clone glares at them with angry eyes.
"You were Preventer Agent's Assistant...we can help you Stephen," says the second masked man, standing in between the other two.
"Leave me alone you Bastard! I won't let you betray me! Fuck you!!" yells Assistant Falken, sitting in the corner of the room, but still glaring at the 'intruders'. Slowly, the second masked man releases the strap around his mask and removes it to reveal...Republic!
"Hear me out...we can help eachother," he replies in a calm, almost caring voice. Some of the anger can visibly leave the clone as he becomes more calm.
"You can get me out of this hell hole? So I can seek revenge against that bastard...my creator?" asks Falken.
"We all want the S.O.B. gone. Everyone knows what he tried to do to the UBB and we have to make sure that he never tries that again. We don't know what he's planning now, but someone like Preventer is too dangerous to let loose on the outside world," says Republic, fixing his tie.
"I..I don't get it. Who are you people?" asks Falken, now totally under Republic's sway.
"Who we are isn't your business...not yet. You'll find out all you want, only if you help us eliminate Preventer," says Republic, he'd just completed the plan. The clone has just received an offer he can not refuse.
"Yes...of course. All in the name of revenge," replies Assistant Falken, agreeing to be a pawn in a secret organization once again.

After Colony 197
Lagrange Point 1 Colony Cluster...
Despite the war being over for a year and a half now, Heero still can not shake some of his old habits. One of those habits happens to be detection, to be able to know when he is watched and how to eliminate the spies. Even as he continues typing up the report for his Colonial History class on the laptop, he watches them just as they are watching him. There are two of them, they'd been discreetly monitoring him for at least an hour now. Two plans of action arise: he can either shake them or eliminate them. Losing them in the crowd might be the best bet, no one would suspect his past then.
"He's moving," says Fire as Heero closes his laptop and walks across the street from the outdoor café into the Library.
"Don't lose him," replies Preventer as they stand up and follow. The walk across the street and enter the large building, part of the Colony's College campus. As the two walk inside the strangely vacant library, they find no sign of Heero even being inside.
"Ok...this is creepy," whispers Fire as they quietly walk down the silent aile. Suddenly, Preventer stops and grabs a hold of Fire's shoulder.
"Quiet..." whispers Preventer and the everything becomes dead silent. Silent, that is, except for the extremely soft sound of someone breathing. The two slowly look up to find...
"Heero!" exclaims Fire as the Gundam pilot leaps down and kicks Preventer in the gut. Fire immediately tackles him and the two begin rolling on the ground in a wrestling match.
"Get off of me!" yells Heero, kicking Fire away from him and making a run for the exit. Preventer and Fire give chase, Preventer pulling out his Berreta 9mm handgun and firing at the exit in order to change Heero's course. The pilot dives behind the checkout desk and returns fire with his gun.
"Dive!" yells Preventer, as he dives behind a bookcase. And once again there is quiet as Heero reloads his gun.
"What do you want from me?" yells Heero, cocking his gun.
"I want to use your ability as a pilot to help me get revenge against the leaders of my home, the Moderators," replies Preventer, silently crawling from his hiding place and heading towards Heero's position.
"Moderators? I'm not a soldier anymore, so leave me alone!" yells Heero, standing to fire his gun, only to have it knocked away by Preventer. Heero returns the favor, jumping atop the desk and kicking Preventer in the face, sending him flying into a nearby table. As Preventer's vision clears, Heero jumps from the desk and tries to kick him again, but Preventer is just barely able to roll out of the way. Preventer quicky jumps back up and connects a solid right hook to Heero's face, sending the pilot reeling. Pressing the advantage, Preventer knees him in the gut and knocks him to the floor, only to have his feet knocked from underneath him. Heero tries to get back up, but Preventer tackles him back to the floor.
"I'm not going to let you escape, Heero!" yells Preventer, just as Heero elbows him in the face. Heero stands up and heads for the door, only to find himself staring down the barrell of another gun: Fire's.
"Don't move an inch or I'll blow your freakin' head off," says Fire, in an annoyed yet calm voice, "Preventer, are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," replies Preventer as he wipes some of the blood from his cut lip.
"Let's get out of here, activate the beacon," says Fire, making sure Heero doesn't try to make a break for the door again. Preventer pulls out his Palm Pilot, which is now a little scuffed from the fight, and activates the homing beacon used to signal the completion of the mission. Within moments, there is a flash and the three men dissapear from that world.

Route 0079, a short distance away from GP Prison F...
Three black Nissan Gloria supersedans drive northwest back toward the city from GP Prison F along the sparsely used highway. In the first sedan are Republic and his two masked companions, who are discussing the next plan of action. In the second is Assistant Falken and several Agents. The third sedan is just agents.
"...Yes, I understand that he was expendable to Preventer Agent, but he can be useful to us, even after this mission," says Republic, who is driving the sedan, to the first masked man.
"I can't have anyone like him in my organization for any longer than necessary. Remember, he is a damned clone! How can I allow TWO Falkens? You get rid of him when this is over," the masked man replies, sitting in the passenger's seat beside Republic. The other masked man, who is sitting in the back seat, removes his mask and reveals himself to be...Stephen!
"He was mistreated by Preventer Agent. Its possible that he had access to Preventer's previous and current plans. We need all the help we can get ensure the safety of Gundam Project. As for the fact he is my clone, it doesn't mean that he isn't useful elsewhere around here," says Stephen. The remaining masked man crosses his arms in annoyance.
"Hmph. We'll try it your way. For now," he replies in a defeat tone.
"Thank you...you know, you can take the mask off. I know damn well who you are," says Republic, reverting his attention to the road. The masked man takes off his mask and finally reveals himself. It is Administrator Mark Simmons, leader of this powerful web-nation.
"Whether or not the damn clone lives, we will make sure that Preventer Agent is defeated once and for all," replies Mark. The black Nissians speed away toward the city, they must find out what Preventer is up to or Gundam Project will be engulfed in war.
