Author's Note: First of all, I am sooooooo sorry that I took so long to get this out! I know some of you want to kill me. I was recently in a Musical and my rehearsals ran to 11:00pm at night, it's been busy. Anyway, this is dedicated to a very nice writer who has promised to review my story every time, Tomorrow. Thanks Tomorrow ^_~

2 Chapter 6 - The Broken Pieces of a Dream

Zechs was up early in the kitchen of the apartment part of the base. He had turned on the TV and was now sitting at the bar watching the news and eating breakfast.

News reporter: In spite of the recent events, the Gundams are still fighting the newly formed Oz organization. They aren't giving up. Vice Foreign Minister, Relena Darlian has been reported missing and is believed to have been capture after the Earth Allied Nation surrendered. Reporter Mike Johnson takes us to the fallen base ..

Zechs turned off the TV, ***I hope you're all right Relena, you've got to make it through this.*

Unknown to Zechs, a shadow was watching him from the corner by the doorway.

***Relena...*

Zechs turned around and spotted the person stand the entrance.

Zechs: I see you finally decided to get up Heero.

Heero: ...

Heero turned away and was about to head out the door.

Zechs: Where do you think your going? Wing Zero isn't fully repaired yet.

Heero: I have some business to take care of; I'll be back by the time Wing Zero is done.

With these words, Heero left the room. Zechs thought to himself, ***Damn you Heero, where are you going? This is no time to be playing games.*

Back at the Victoria Base, the soldier (Lieutenant Winston) had dragged Relena into one of the command rooms. An old filthy man, sat in a chair to the right. He had a white tacky beard and wore a red uniform.

2.1.1.1.1 Lieutenant Winston: Sir, (He saluted) look what I found in the North C corridors.

General: Ahh, How nice to see you Miss Darlian.

Relena spat at his feet.

General: Now, that's not a very nice way to introduce yourself. I am general Baerwald.

Relena: What do you want with me?

Baerwald: You'll see in time, I think you better get some rest right now, you want to be already when his excellency comes.

Relena: What... (before she can say anything more, she feels a sharp pain in her back and then everything went dark. The last thing she sees is the hideous grin on the general's face.)

Baerwald: Sweet dreams girl. (He says laughing.) Right now, we just can't have her getting in the way, but she certainly will be useful later.

Hilde: How much longer until we reach the base?

Sally: A couple of hours.

Hilde: Rrrrrrrrrr, I wish these suits could fly faster.

Sally: I know be patient. Just concentrate on the plan.

Hilde: (sighs) yeah, you're right.

They continue to fly to toward the base.

Lady Une was still looking for Relena in the corridors. She held her gun in her hand ready to fire at anyone who was after her. Suddenly, she heard faint footsteps coming toward her.

Lady Une: Stop right there or I'll shot!

Someone came into the light right in front of her.

Noin: Relax Lady Une, It's just me.

Lady Une: Oh, good, I thought you were one of the Oz soldiers. Where have you been Noin?

Noin: Well, I help lead one of the groups of our people out of the base. They got out safely, but then Oz spotted us and we had to flee into the woods. After meeting up with the other group, I came back, because neither of the two groups knew where you or Miss Relena were.

Lady Une: Oh, I don't think you really want to be in here, it's a mad house. I've lost Relena.

Noin: You lost Relena!?

Lady Une: We got separated. Some soldiers blocked me earlier and I told her to run.

Noin: I hope she's all right. (She said with concern.)

Lady Une: We've got to find her, who knows what could have happened to her.

Noin: I'd rather not think about it.

Lady Une: (She nods.) Come on, let's go find her.

They start to run down the hall together.

3 There lying in waste was four batter mobile suits floated in outer space; they where surrounded by tons of ruble.

Duo: Ohhh, (His hand is placed on his head.) That was some battle. You guys ok?

Quatre: Yeah, I'm ok. (He let out a sigh.)

Trowa: Mmmmmm..

Wufei: Damn, Oz.

Duo: I take it your ok, Wufei?

Wufei: What a pointless battle!

Quatre: I know, all we did was fight with dolls.

Duo: Oz is certainly back, they just did this to keep us from doing anything that might really stop them, we were used like puppets!

Trowa: This was all just a distraction to keep us from their real plans, they keep us busy so that we couldn't go help stop them from forcing the Earth Allied Nation to surrender.

Trowa clenched his fist in frustration, even he couldn't help but show the anger inside of him.

Duo: What now?

Quatre: We need to come up with a plan to stop them, we need to repair our gundams and we need to find Heero.

Duo: Yeah, wonder what Heero buddy, was doing while we were stuck in this battle.

Trowa: ...

Quatre: I don't know, first we need to find a place where we can get our gundams repair fast, somewhere close by.

Wufei: There is a secret Preventer base near here, on colony L4b.

Quatre: That will work, let's get going.

Duo: Yeah.

Trowa: ..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Relena awake and found herself lying on a cold concrete floor. The back of her head hurt a lot. She moved her hand to it and felt dry blood. She moved her tender hands along the floor, slowly pushing herself up into a sitting position. She looked around her. She was in a dim murky room made out of concrete. There was a small window on the left wall. It was at the top of the wall. Reminding her of a basement window, she turned to find a single solid metal door on her right. The room was really dreary and damp. She pressed her hands to the pavement once again in an effect to help her stand up. Once she was up, she walked to the window, where the forlorn moonlight was streaming in; the only thing that lit the room. She peered out of it. She had to stand on her tippy toes to reach it. Looking out of it, she saw nothing but hills and woods.

***Great, just great. How am I going to get myself out of this. Let's see here. (She looked around the room.) If I could just find something to stand on, maybe I could break this window and climb out. (She looked down, out the window. The room was about fifty feet above the ground.) Or maybe not. Why does this room have to be so damn high up. (She didn't even dare try the door to get out, she was sure it was locked. She stared at the abandoned moon.) Oh, Heero..*

The four gundams pilots had just arrived at the hidden base and were surprised at what they found there:

Duo: Zechs!? You're alive!

Zechs slowly walked toward them.

Quatre: But how?!

Zechs: It's a long story.

Duo: Well, we have to have our gundams fixed, so we've got the time.

Wufei nodded.

Zechs: Follow me, we can talk in my apartment.

A few minutes later, they had seated themselves on the couch and the floor in the living room of Zechs private apartment in the base.

Duo: Pretty nice place you've got here. What, let me guess, you decide you were tired of working at Preventer day and night. So, you faked your own death to take a vacation! (He began to laugh a little, Wufei rolled his eyes.) [Everyone would get sweat drops here, if this was one of these funny anime shows, but it's not how gundam wing was made, ^_~]

Zechs: Duo! (He said in an aggravated voice.)

Quatre: So, what happen? (Trying to change the subject away from what Duo had just said.)

Wufei: I thought you got shot in the back.

Zechs: I did, luckily, it missed any of my main organs and my spine. It just hit a few ribs and broke them. I ran after the men who had started the shooting. It took me a while to track them down and kill them but I did.

Quatre: So, why didn't you come back after that? Everyone thinks you're died, including Relena who was really upset.

Zechs: I came back to find, that everyone thought I was dead. I realized that this could be used as an advantage against the enemy. I promised myself when this was all over that I would come back to everyone.

Duo: Oh, well, I don't think your plan of surprising the enemy worked. Instead they surprised you! Your stupid decision might just have cost many lives.

Zechs: What do you mean? (He said with anger and confusion.) I did this for the best, besides don't you think I thought this over for a while.

Duo: Look Zechs, all I'm saying is that if you had come back, well maybe you could have been there to stop Oz from forcing Relena into surrendering the Earth Allied Nation.

Quatre: Stop it you two. Duo do you have to get into a fight with someone every time something goes wrong? The important thing is now we know Milardo is a live and he can help us fight Oz. No one else knows that he is a live, so we can still use that to our advantage.

Trowa: Quatre, is right.

Duo: Ok, ok. I'm going to check on my gundam.

Quatre: Ok, that's a good idea, maybe we all should. We need to see how long it will take to fix them.

The Gundam pilots headed off to go and check on their gundams while Zechs went and check the recent reports.

The gundam pilots had just gotten to the hanger where their gundams were being repaired.

Duo: Look guys, it's Wing Zero. That must mean Heero's here.

Wufei: For once your right, Maxwell.

Quatre: Let's go find Milardo again and find out where Heero is.

Trowa nodded.

The g-boys had just gotten back to the apartment where they found Zechs sitting on the couch, looking at his lab top.

Duo: You didn't tell us Heero was here. We saw his gundam in the hanger.

Zechs: Heero left.

Quatre: What do you mean he left?

Zechs: Well, he was here, but he left and said he would be back when his gundam was fixed. (He hissed as he emphasized the words.)

Quatre: Where do you think he went? He can't do anything without his gundam.

Duo: I think I have an idea. (He said this with a smirk on his face.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heero sat in the shuttle he had taken from the hidden base. He looked down at the shuttle screen that had the words "Destination Earth: 1 hour remaining." He turned to look at the stars that seemed to cry out, begging for anyone to bring their misery to end or perhaps that is just how they reacted to Heero in his terrene. ***I'm coming back for you Relena. I promised to protect you and I'll be damned if I brake that promise now. (Heero looked back at the stars) Why do you keep doing this to me Relena? Stop making me feel this way! You know you'd be better off without me..* He decided he wasn't going to finish that statement. He didn't want to think anymore. He shut his eyes preparing himself for the abhorrent battle ahead.

4 Hilde and Sally had landed their mobile suits in the forest by where the two Preventer groups were located. Hilde and Sally had radioed in a little while ago to tell the Preventer group that they were coming. Sally came up to one of the men. He saluted.

Sally: Where's Lady Une, Noin, and Relena?

The Preventer: Relena and Lady Une never came out so, Noin went back into the base to look for them.

Sally: It's a good thing we came up with this plan or we would have been in more trouble than we're already in.

The Preventer: What is this plan?

Hilde: We're going to need all of you to ship out of here. We plan on blowing up the base, but first we got to get Lady Une, Noin and Relena out. We are going to use a diversion attack at the north end of the base to distract the base from our real plan. We had some extra Taurus suits at the base we came from. We got some soldiers together to take out the remaining Taurus suits after we took these two out. They are on their way. They'll be here in a couple hours. Me and Sally here, took the improved Taurus' so we could get anyone who was still in the base out.

Sally: We will need a few volunteers to help out in the diversion attack. The diversion attack is to take their attention away from us getting Lady Une, Noin and Relena out and so that they don't have time to detect the on coming Taurus suits. So who's willing to come with me and help out with the diversion attack?

More than half the Peventers raised their hands.

Sally: Good. Ok, Hilde. I'll take them to start the diversion attack on the North Side, you go and find the others. We will meet back here. Ok?

Hilde: Got it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Relena for the first time in her life was bored out of her mind. There was nothing to do but worry and try to figure a way to get out of the stupid cell. She had enough! ***I'm tired of this, what do they want me for? I'm tired of asking these questions. I hate not being able to do anything.* The only plan she could come up with was to hid behind the door, hit the next person who came through it and ran like hell. She thought her mind was playing tricks on her 'cause she thought she heard voices coming up the hallway. She elementally positioned herself behind the door, ready to attack the next person who walked in through the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lady Une: I think this must be her cell. Hacking into the computer was a good idea to find out if she was captured,

Noin: Well, if it was such a good idea, maybe I need a raise.

Lady Une: (She laughed) I doubt there is going to be any money left in our budget if we make it through this.

Noin: How stupid are these people just leaving the keys to Relena's cell lying on the table beside it?

Lady Une just shrugged. She reached for the keys and inserted them into the door. After a few minutes of trying to turn it the door opened. Noin stepped in first only to be punched in the stomach and Lady Une being kicked in the shins, this was fallowed by a young sun blond girl sprinting down the hall. The girl rounded the corner without even looking back at who she had just hit.

Noin: I never thought I'd live to say this but Relena packs a impressive punch. (She was holding her stomach.)

Lady Une: Damn! She didn't even realize who she just hit. The way she was running there's no way we can catch up with her now!

Noin: We can only hope that she gets out safely.

Lady Une nods.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

5 End of Chapter 6

Ok, so the questions of the day: Will Relena get out safely before the attack?

Will Hilde find Relena and the others?

What's Heero up to?

Ok, so it's not that big of a cliffhanger, but the chapter was starting to get long, I'll get the next part out as soon as possible. Tell me what you thought in that little box below! Thanx ~_^
