Elsewhere, Quatre and the other Gundam pilots were panting heavily. "What now? Go to another colony or planet or something and destroy all the mobile suits there?!" Duo asked.

"Yes." Quatre replied.

"Look this is great that we're reducing the numbers of mobile dolls out here in space but we can't just go on like this!" Clara protested.

"I think the woman has a point there." Wufei agreed.

"I. Have. A. NAME, WUFEI!" Clara said in annoyance.

"Well, you guys better think of what we're gonna do right now!" Joanna said.

"Why?"

"Cause all of the mobile dolls are coming our way!" Joanna

"What?!" Everyone wondered and turned around. Indeed, all of the mobile dolls from every colony was heading their direction.

"How many?" Wufei asked.

"Around 5,000,000." Joanna replied.

"Hmmm.... a million each." Quatre said.

"But Quatre, that's too many! That's impossible!" Duo exclaimed.

Deep down in Quatre's kind heart he knew that Duo was right, but with half of the Gundam pilots absent there was no other choice but to keep reducing the numbers to keep the mobile suits out of their hair until they regrouped.

"Nothing's too impossible to us." Wufei told him.

Clara flew ahead.

"Clara! Wait!!! ------"

"He's right, Duo. We're invincible..." Clara said.

Joanna followed her and then Wufei.

"For the love of Pete!! Wait!!!-----"

"We can't wait all day, Duo." Wufei told him. Quatre flew after them.

"Man, why is it that I'm always the one left behind?" Duo asked himself and flew into the battle. The mobile dolls shot at the Gundams.


"Take this!!!" Clara shouted and shot flames at them but they just went through them. "What the? What the hell?"

"They're holograms!" Quatre announced.

A mobile doll took a direct shot at Joanna. "Argah! Well, they sure don't feel like one!" She said.


"We're entering something like a space ship and the appearance is mobile dolls." Quatre explained.

"Good job, 04." Someone said.

"Huh?" Everyone asked.

"Remember me?" A woman asked.

"Lydia!!!!"

Lydia laughed evilly. "You do remember me after all." The mobile dolls disappeared and now they were in a room with the surroundings as the dark outer space. "You are now in an extremely large room that covers three-fourths of this ship. In here you will fight me, Cypress, and some of our new mobile dolls."

"Cypress?!?!?" The Gundam pilots exclaimed. Cypress stood next to Lydia. He had bandages around his head and arm.

"What? You look like you've seen a ghost." Cypress said.

"How did you survive?" Quatre asked.

"Simple Winner, while Scyler was helping Yuy and Giron into a shuttle, I got up and flew away in a shuttle myself. Lydia here found my shuttle and took me in." Cypress replied.

The Gundams indicated that something was coming their way. They turned around and found nothing.

"There's nobody to save you now Gundam pilots!" Cypress said and gave it his most sinister laugh. The gray door closed behind them.

"Pah-lease! I could take that door down with my flamethrower!" Clara said.

"Try it, Stanley. I dare you." Cypress encouraged.

Clara took her flamethrower and fired. Once the flames cleared there wasn't even a burnt mark.

"What? That's... that's impossible." Clara said in horror.

Duo took a stab at it with his scythe, turning the green substance into a weak stantze(sp?), and like Clara, he was astonished.

Lydia laughed evilly and said, "Nowhere to hide and no one to save you. What are you Gundam pilots gonna do now?"


"Fight for their rights." Someone said.


Lydia looked up. "Who said that? Come on which one of you said that?"


"Colt, shut up!" Amara murmured.


"Come on!" Lydia shouted. Joanna pushed a button.

~*~

"Huh? Tori wondered.

"What is it?" Dr. D. asked.

"Message from Joanna ... Help!" Tori replied.


~*~

"We need your help now!" Bailey read.

~*~

"Come quickly." Trowa said.

~*~

"Cypress and... Lydia! HURRY!" Nika said to herself quietly. Then a red dot blinked on a map of the colonies. "I'm on my way."

~*~

Abruptedly someone fired their weapons and destroyed the "new" mobile dolls. Causing a mass explosion and tons of smoke.

Once the smoke cleared, everyone heard, "Ahhh... very smart, Yuy, very smart. Destroying the mobile dolls when we're not paying attention." Cypress said.

"We just want to deal with you two now then waste any of our time and effort trying to destroy those things." Heero told him.

"Heero!-----"
"Good timing!-----"
"Where were you???------"

"All that matters is that I'm here..." Heero said.

~*~

Tori, otherwise, was already flying toward the ship the others were on and thinking about what her father and the other scientists told her before she left.


*~
"It's time for you to go, Tori." Dr. D. said.

Tori nodded her head. "Thank you, father. Thank you, Instructor Z and the engineers."

"The pleasure is all ours." Instructor Z. replied.

Tori hugged Dr. D. "Tell Case, hello." Dr. D. told her.

"Ok." Tori turned on all the switches in Acid Burn. "Ok let's do it, Burn." Tori said and took off.

"Like father, like daughter, yes?" Instructor Z. asked.

"No, it's more like father... like children." Dr. D. replied. 'Take care my dear Tori. Sora take care of your little brother, Case. And Case, continue to take your place in the kingdom as prince. The king shall return shortly.' Dr. D. thought. ~*

Tori shed a tear and quickly wiped it away.

"Come on, Burn. Let's go and kick it!" She said and put Acid Burn on hyper drive.

~*~

Joanna was thrusting her ax this way and that, Clara was trying to slice Cypress with her beam saber, Heero was firing off his beam rifle, Duo trying to strike Lydia with his scythe, Quatre also trying his best to at least hit Cypress with his heat shorters, and Wufei was trying to grab a hold of Lydia with his extendible arms. But all of their attempts didn't even hit Cypress or Lydia. Smoke continuated to fill the wide room.

"They're too fast!" Duo exclaimed.

Cypress and Lydia both laughed evilly.

"Fools. These two mobile suits are installed with the ZERO system as well." Lydia said.

"What? Then Heero should be able to at least hit you. Right?" Quatre asked.

"Hmm... I can't beat two ZERO systems with only one. I need assistance from another person." Heero replied.

"My, my, my, Yuy, you really know your stuff." Cypress told him.

"It's more like I know what I'm doing." Heero snapped.

"Why you little." Cypress said and tried to strike him with his beam saber.

Heero flew up, dropped the beam rifle in front of the other Gundam pilots and pulled out his beam saber.


"Heero!" Duo shouted but before he could move Lydia stopped him in his tracks.

"Tisk, tisk, tisk, let's not interfere now. Unless you want to die!" Now all that the other Gundam pilots could do was watch Heero and Cypress sock it all out through the smoke.


"Come on! Let's go and help Heero out!" Ski exclaimed.

"No, give it ten more minutes." Spryte told him.

"But why the hell not?!" Ski wondered.

"Because once they spare Cypress and Lydia's lives we have to finish off the job for them. Remember?" Kara replied.

"Well, why are there twelve of us to do the job?" Gen asked.

"That's a good question that I'd like to hear the answer." Ski said.

"Look we'll just do our job here and get the hell out. That's all we have to do!" Daira proclaimed.


Cypress slammed into the wall.

Heero looked down at the mobile suit. "Had enough?"

"Huh, I've only gotten started." Cypress replied. He changed his arm into a razor. "Get a taste of this!" Cypress said and charged at Heero.

Heero flew this way and that trying to avoid the razor. Cypress cornered him, but just before he could slice Wing Zero into pieces, a blinding light light filled the room. Another bright light shot the razor off of Cypress's arm and something slammed him into the other wall. And HARD!

"That was for me, asshole." Nika said. Once the light returned to normal, Cypress was fighting Nika continuously.
Everybody put their attention on the stranger, which at the time they didn't know it was actually Nika, that was daring enough to take on Cypress because they couldn't believe how fast they were moving. Everyone was so into the two, they didn't even notice that Trowa, Bailey, and Tori had arrived.

That's when Heero figured it was time to make his move. So, he tackled Lydia and threw him right into Cypress. "Whoa!" Nika exclaimed as she got out of Heero's way. Just before Heero jammed the two criminals into the wall, Nika got his beam rifle, that was lying on the floor, and her beam rifle, aimed them at Lydia's suit, which was over Cypress's, and fired both rifles. Lucky for Heero, he moved out of the way just in the nick of time. KABOOM!!! The collision was so big that the two mobile suits made a large dent in the wall and were now outside.

"Whoa, good job guys." Trowa said.

Quatre turned around. "Trowa!! Tori!! Bailey!! You're here!! But where's Nika?"

"I'm right here." Nika replied.

"Nika?? Nika!!" Clara said and looked at the Gundam. "What suit is that?"

"You don't remember??" Nika asked.

"Well, it looks like Zero Cool, but it's bigger and it can't be!" Joanna replied.

"Well, I hate to break it to ya but it is the Zero Cool ... Zero Cool Custom." Nika announced.

"What?! ---"

"How did you?? ---"

"How was it?? ---"

"You fools think you can beat us so easily??" Lydia asked. Nika tossed Heero's beam rifle to him and pointed hers at the hole. Heero let the rifle land on the floor and pulled out a beam saber instead.

Colt's mobile suit glowed brightly. "I know, Blitz. I know."
