Last time:

"Sou ka… demo, the fight is going extremely well so far, they're doing much better with Usagi on the team. I'm sure nothing will happen. She'll be fine Haruka," he consoled her. "With you taking care of her Gundam for the last 2 years, there's nothing that could go wrong with it!"

"But sir…" Haruka was cut short as a soldier came running up to him, eyes wide. "Doctor J! Gundam Starlight has just been captured by Oz!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Soldiers hurried around the huge machine, whispering excitedly among themselves. "Zechs is such a great pilot!" enthused one.

"Hai! Imagine, catching not only one of the elusive Gundam pilots, but also the Gundam itself!" added another.

"Stop chattering like a bunch of idiots and get working! Zechs wants to see the pilot! Quickly, open the hatch," barked their superior, stalking towards them. The young men scattered and hurried to do as they were told.

Slowly, the hatch opened to reveal the unconscious pilot inside. There was an audible gasp as they saw the person within.

"What is it?" Zechs entered the hangar, blue eyes curious.

"S-sir! The pilot of this Gundam is… is a girl!" one of the subordinates stammered.

Blue eyes wide, he stared at him. "What was that?"

"See for yourself." The general in charge stepped forward, carrying the unconscious Usagi in his arms.

Taking in the bruises and cuts that marred her delicate features, the pilot of Tallgeese glared at the people surrounding them. "Well, why have her wounds been left unattended? Even if she is a pilot of the colonies, she is still a lady," he snapped.

"Hai!" The general took the sleeping girl to the clinic as Zechs watched them thoughtfully.

"So… the pilot of Gundam Starlight is a girl… First those boys, now this… How intriguing. Treize-sama will want to hear of this…" the young man trailed off as he strode off to tell his friend and leader the strange outcome of events.

"Oh no! Something's wrong with Starlight!" Usagi gasped as a red blinking light told her something was amiss with her precious Gundam.

"Usa, what's wrong?" Quatre noticed the sudden stop of the black and silver machine.

"Quatre! The system's malfunctioning!" she cried out.

Just then, at least a thousand MDs surrounded them. "We have to get out of here," Heero's face came from the screen. "They'll capture us if we don't hurry."

"But Usagi's Gundam isn't working! We can't leave her!" Duo yelled, having overheard their conversation as he held of their attackers.

"No excuses. She'll have to fend for herself," the stoic Perfect Soldier's voice had an edge to it, as if he didn't want to say this.

Usagi winced as she was hit from behind. A Gundam loomed over her, making her gasp audibly.

Hearing this, the other pilots turned. "Tallgeese," Trowa's single visible eye narrowed.

"That baka Zechs is here… Yuy! We can't hold them off forever!" Wufei snarled, fighting off 3 opponents at time.

"We have to retreat!" Duo agreed. "But what about Usagi?" he added, not wanting to leave the girl in Oz's clutches.

"We'll return for her!" Heero maneuvered Wing Gundam and grabbed Sandrock.

"No! I can't lose her! Not now!!!" Quatre yelled as he struggled in Heero's grasp. There was a yell of pain as Tallgeese mercilessly attacked Usagi's Gundam. "USA!!!"

"We'll be back for her, Quatre," Trowa's voice was quieter than usual as her helped Heero drag Sandrock off.

"Quatre, don't worry about me…" Usagi's weak voice came form the radio. "Go, or they'll capture you too…" she trailed off as her eyes fluttered close with exhaustion.

"Usagi!!!" The last thing she saw before she completely passed out, was Quatre's tear-streaked face over the communicator as his comrades pulled him away. Then, darkness came.

"Quatre!" Usagi jerked awake. She looked around the strange room. "Doko…?" she whispered before images of the fight came back to her. "That's right! Tallgeese and hundreds of mobiles suits came… Something was wrong with Starlight… That must mean… I've been captured by Oz!"

The door opened to reveal a young man in his early twenties with blondish-white hair and blue eyes paler that even the sky.

"Yokata. You're awake I see," he observed quietly. "Well, once you've rested, we need to have a little chat. Treize-sama wants to have a talk with you, young lady." With that, he shut the door quietly and locked it.

Once he was gone, Usagi hugged her knees and began to cry softly. Even though she had gone through several missions and was a pilot, in truth she was just a young girl forced to grow up too fast. She had never been in a situation such as this. "Quatre…" she whimpered, closing her eyes tightly. "Help me…"
