both anime time lines. It will be bunched in together.
When Two Become OneA door opens to an office in a station in space.
"Sir. The Chameleon is here, as you requested." A young man in a uniform said.
"Bring the Chameleon in." A brown haired man said without looking up from the computer screen.
"Yes sir." The solider replied. A minute later the door opens again and a cloaked figure walks into the room. When the door closed, the figure reached up and pushed the hood down allowing the figure's hair to fall free. With the hood removed it can be seen that the figure was a young man. His hair fell to his lower back and it was the deepest, blackest black. There was a braid in front of each ear. There were gold threads woven into the braids. His eyes were a green that were dark enough to be considered black. He radiated a controlled confidence, yet at the same time he radiated a confusing chaotic disturbance. It seemed as if destruction was just below the skin just waiting to explode into action.
"You wished to see me master?" The man asked, his voice sounded like velvet with a steeliness hidden underneath.
"Yes Chameleon. I have a mission for you. I want you to bring Relena Peacecraft to me. Is that understood?" The man finally looked up and saw the young man nod his head. "Anyway you can." The man added.
"Any way Master Traze." The young man replied bowing his head. An evil smirk came across his face.
"I don't want her harmed. She is to be in one piece. " Traze told him when he saw the smirk. He knew what it meant.
"Of course master. But do I get to harm anyone who gets in the way?" The young man asked.
"You know your mission. Go now. There is a shuttle waiting to take you to Earth." Traze said dismissing the young man. The young man bowed again and put his hood up once again. He then turned and went through the door. Once he was gone Traze got up and looked out to the window into the black emptiness of space. "I hope you find her soon. She is the only one who can control you fully. As well as the only one who can take the pain away." Traze said to the open space.

"Princess Relena. Your three o'clock appointment is here." A servant said as she stuck her head in the door.
"Thank you." Relena turned to the five teenagers that were in the room with her. "If you will excuse me." With that she left the room. She went down the hall and went into another room that was her office at the academy. Relena walked to stand behind her desk and looked at the teenage girl standing in front of her desk. Relena couldn't help but smile at the slightly shy and scared smile the girl was giving her.
"Sit down please." Relena pointed to a chair. The girl sat down. Relena looked down at a piece of paper in front of her. "So Miss. Tsukino tell me a little about your self. I like to know something about each student here." Relena said. The girl looked out the window that was behind Relena, then back at her. Relena blinked in surprise when she saw the girl's eyes. They were a crystalline blue, like the brightest sapphire. They seemed to be endless. For a second the brightness dimmed with sadness, then brightened again.
"First Princess Relena, please call me Serenity. I can't stand all that Miss. stuff." The girl said. Her voice was a whisper as if her voice would shatter if it were raised. Relena nodded to show that she understood and motioned for Serenity to continue. "I am an orphan. My family is gone, except for my brother and I don't know where he is."
"I am sorry. Where were they when they died?" Relena asked with a sad expression.
"They were on Earth where a great battle occurred." Came the quiet reply.
"I could help you find your brother." Relena said. There was silence for a few minutes. The girl's eyes had unfocused as if seeing things far away.
"No thank you. All things will come together, but enough about this. Princess Relena I am looking forward to taking classes here. I hope we can be friends. I know about some of the struggles that you are going through. How everyone constantly argues with your ideas about peace and how to achieve it." Serenity leaned forward. "You need someone to talk to without having to worry about what one will think. You will also need someone to support you when you are exhausted and you'll need a shoulder to cry on. I can do all those things." Serenity stood up and walked to the window looking out at the ocean.
Relena sat thinking about what Serenity said. Relena had a strong feeling that was saying that she could trust this girl with her life. That she could trust this girl with her doubts and thoughts. Relena thought about her eyes. How they would shine like a child's on Christmas and then dim as if reality had beaten her to the brink of death. As if her eyes had seen too much. But that look only flickered across her eyes so fast it seemed as if was never there. Relena waited to see if she would say anything more. Serenity was only silent, waiting. Relena realized that she wasn't going to try and convince her that Relena needed her.
After a couple of minutes Serenity turned and looked at Relena. On her face was an expression of an internal struggle. After a couple of seconds she nodded as if coming to a decision.
"Before you make any decisions you should know that my health isn't the best. I have a heart problem. But it's getting better. My doctor, Doctor Kursh is wonderful and I haven't had as many attacks since I started to see him." Serenity said. She paused, and then said. "You don't have to answer now. You can tell me the next time we meet." She smiled brightly at Relena and then turned and walked to the door. "I will see you in class Princess Relena." With that said Serenity went out the door.

"So, your saying that Oz has a secret weapon called Chameleon?" Quatre asked. Heero nodded continuing to walk down the hall.
"Yes. We're supposed to keep our eyes and ears open for anything related to Chameleon. We know nothing about this Chameleon, what it is or who it is. We have to find it." Just then they turned a corner and came into the main hall that leads to the main door. What they saw made them stop in surprise. Four mean teenage boys had a girl cornered.
"Please let me pass, I have to get to my doctors. I don't have any more medicine for my heart. I must get to my doctors." The girl said in a breathy voice as if she had no breath to talk with.
"Excuse me, you had better let that girl go." Duo said stepping forward. The four teenage boys turned and glared at the five boys who had interrupted them.
"Who do you think you are?" One of the boys who were obviously the leader said. "We found this tasty treat first. Go find your own treat." With that Duo lunged forward and punched the boy in the face. The boy collapsed without a sound. The other boys looked at each other and then ran from the room.
"It's alright lady, go on and get out of here." Duo said while watching the other boys run away. When Duo got no answer and turned and saw the girl on her knees clutching her chest. Before he could do anything Quatra ran forward and put his arm around the girl to help her to her feet. Quatra looked up and spoke to his friends.
"We have to get her to the hospital." At that the girl's eyes widened and she clutched at Quatra's shirt.
"No. Most get to Doctor." She gasped out painfully. She fiddled with her jacket pocket and held out a piece of paper. Quatra took the piece of paper and looked at it.
"Its an address." He said. He started walking towards the doors still supporting the girl. "Don't worry we'll get you there. Come on you guys. I'm going to need your help." The others followed Quatra and the girl out the door, keeping an eye out for anything. The girl reached into her pocket again and brought out a set of keys. She handed them to Quatra and he pushed a button that was on the key ring. Looking toward the parking lot, they saw a car's lights flashing. The girl pointed to the car with the flashing lights. Just then the girl's legs gave out and Quatra was forced to pick her up and carry her. When they got to the car Quatra unlocked the doors and everyone got in. The girl was in the back seat squashed between Heero and Wufi. The car was quiet, except for the girl's painful gasps. Even though she wasn't crying, she was whimpering with every breath.
"Why are we doing this? She isn't anything but a weak woman. We should be letting her fend for herself." Wufi said.
"We can't do that Wu-man. She needs us and just think, your helping a damsel in distress. Maybe she will go out with you in gratitude. That would be funny to see." Duo said in the passenger seat. "That should be a big boost on that honor thing you keep going on." Wufi lunged over the girl trying to get at Duo. At the girl's small scream of pain Heero reached over and pushed Wufi back into his seat.
"Sit still Wufi or I'll shoot you." Heero said in his monotone.
"He better not call me Wu-man again or I will kill him." Wufi muttered. At Heero's glare Wufi was quiet, except for a few glares at Duo.
"Appreciate this. Don't. Have to." The girl gasped just before she lost consciousness.
"Heero, check and see if she's still breathing." Quatra said. Heero leaned forward and put his hand in front of her nose and mouth. He felt her warm breath against his hand.
"Yeah. She's still alive." Heero said and absently brushed her bangs off her face. No one noticed Heero do this but Trowa. Heero looked down at her and a strong sense of protectiveness came over him. Heero shook his head and looked out the window. He noticed that they were leaving the city and heading to the country. They turned and came to a sign that said, 'Private Property- Only Those That Are Expected.' Without pausing at the sign, Quatra kept driving. They went down a long dirt road until a white house with many windows came into view.
When they pulled up to the porch of the house, two men came out the door. One of them had flaming reddish orange hair that went to his shoulder blades and the other had brownish blond hair that looked as if someone had taken a butcher knife to it. The one with the brownish blond hair looked angry and had opened his mouth to shout at them when the reddish orange haired one grabbed his arm and pointed to Heero, who was carrying the unconscious girl. Before anyone could move the brownish blond haired man was down the steps and had taken her from Heero and was through the door to the house before they knew it.
"I guess that they had forgotten us." Duo said after a couple of minutes when no one came back outside the house. Duo started walking back to the car. "Well, let's go."
"No Duo. We're staying. I want to know what is going on and who she is." Heero said. Duo and Quatra had surprised expressions on their faces. Trowa and Wufi's expressions were the same as usual. A blank and a scowl.
"Heero's right you guys." Quatra said. When everyone looked at him a sheepish look came over his face. "Besides, we can't take the car. Its not ours."
"Come on." Heero said. They went up the stairs and into the house. They were only in the main room for a couple of minutes when the brownish blond haired man came down the stairs from the second floor.
"What are you doing in here? You brought her here and we thank you. Now please leave." He said.
"Now that is no way to treat our guests." A voice said. Everyone looked up to see the other guy. "Sere wishes to see all of you."
"Are you sure that is wise?" The brownish blond haired man asked with a suspicious look at the teenage boys in the room with them.
"Yes." The man on the stairs said. The suspicious man nodded and motioned for the boys to go up the stairs, then followed them. At the top there were two hallways. They went down the left hall. They walked all the way to the end of the hallway before they topped at a door. The reddish orange haired man knocked gently.
"Bring them in." Came the muffled voice. The man who had knocked opened the door and ushered them in. The room was large with a large picture window with a great view of the woods. In the center of the room was a queen size four-poster canopy bed. In the bed propped up by large pillows was the girl. The girl's hair was let out of the three braids that it was in. Her hair was silver blond and it draped over the side of the bed. Her bright blue crystalline eyes were sleepy looking yet aware of everything around them.
"Hi guys." Her voice was breathy as if she had been running a long time.
"Now Sere, don't go tiring yourself out." The brownish blond haired man said.
"I won't." She answered. She gave a weak smile at him and turned her attention to Heero and the others. "Thank you so much for your help. My name is Serenity Tsukino and this is Siber Panthera (the one with reddish orange hair nodded his head and that's Orion Bernardi (the one with brownish blond hair nodded)."
"You know, those names seem familiar some how." Duo said with a frown.
"Our names describe what we are." Orion said. He took a threatening step towards Duo. Duo hid behind Wufi.
"Don't hide behind me you weakling." Wufi growled stepping to the side.
"Stop it you two." Quatra said. "If you don't mind me asking. Are you ok?"
"Yes I'm ok. I am very glade you guys showed up when you did or I could have been in trouble." Serenity said.
"She's probably too much of a weakling to fight back." Wufi said.
"She could take you any time. Her heart just had to act up right now." Orion growled. Then he paused and looked at Serenity. "Did he say something about fighting?" Now Serenity looked a little uncomfortable.
"I was talking to Princess Relena about my classes and while I was leaving they cornered me." Everyone was quiet for a few minutes thinking about everything that was said.
"How do you know Relena?" Came Heero's quiet voice.
"I went to see Princess Relena about my classes." Serenity looked at Heero and her eyes widened as if just seeing him for the first time. Her look of astonishment changed to anger, to happiness, to puzzlement. "You know, I think I've seen you before." She was quiet for a few minutes. "I just don't remember. There's just too much going on at once." Her hands started to play with the sheet that was covering her and her breathing was beginning to increase. "I don't remember, but I know that it's important that I remember." Her hands flew to her head and clutched it. "I must remember. I must. I must." Her breathing was becoming faster and faster.
"You must leave. NOW." Orion said as he lunged for the bed and grabbed her hands. Forcing them to her sides and holding them there. She started to struggle. "Siber, get them out of here. I am going to need your help."
"Right." Siber said. "Come on you guys. You must leave now." He led them down the stairs and out the door. "Take the car, one of us will be by to pick it up. Now have a nice day." He went back in the house and shut the door. They were about to get in the car when a scream came from the house.
"Get in the car. There's nothing we can do." Heero said. Quatra looked as if he were gong to protest but shut his mouth and nodded. Everyone got in the car and drove off.
