Chapter 16 - SandRock…
Usagi managed to sneak into the military airport undetected as she searched for a shuttle ready to leave. The disguise pen Luna had given her had come in quite handy. Instead of having to kill a guard for a uniform, she merely used the pen. She walked through the hallway, no emotion on her face. She walked into a hangar, seeing that there was a shuttle ready to be launched. She smirked when she saw that there were only two guards outside of the shuttle. She walked up to the soldier, all emotion gone from her face.
"What are your orders soldier?" The commander asked as he stepped up behind her. She frowned in disapproval and decided to take some more drastic action. She pulled a gun, aiming it at the commander's head.
"I need to get to a colony in L3," She said in a monotone voice. "Have a problem with that?" The commander smirked as the two soldiers pulled guns, aiming them at Usagi.
"Actually, I do." He commented, smirking deeper.
"Too bad for you." She said, pulling the trigger as a bullet went into the man's head. He dropped to the ground, dead, at Usagi's feet. She did a flip out of the way as the shots from the other two soldiers rang out. She landed a few feet away and lunged at the soldiers, knocking the guns from both of their hands. She smirked slightly.
"Don't mess with the sister of a gundam pilot," She said as she pulled the trigger, shooting both soldiers squarely in the head, their blood spilling over the ground. She hurriedly climbed aboard the shuttle, preparing for takeoff. The doors opened as the shuttle blasted off into the emptiness of space. "I have to make a little stop before I go kill Pharaoh 90…" She said to herself.

"What do you ask of us?" An emotionless voice asked a woman sitting high upon a pedestal. He and four others, were bowing in front of the woman, no emotion on any face.
"I want you to take over the Earth," She stately simply. "Take my gifts and destroy to your hearts content." She said with a cruel smirk on her face.
"Yes, your majesty." Heero said as he and his four companions bowed before the powerful woman's throne. They stood up and walked out of the room, leaving Miyana and Pharaoh 90 in the presence of the woman.
"Do you think they will succeed, Mistress 9-sama?" Pharaoh 90 asked, bowing.
"It does not matter if they do or not, Serenity won't be able to hurt them." She said, a smirk on her face.

Usagi's shuttle approached the Winner colony, docking moments later.
"Sorry Quatre, but I need to save you. I'll take good care of Sandrock for you…" She said to herself as she headed for Quatre's underground base. She managed to load Sandrock onto a truck, taking it back to the airport, loading it onto her shuttle. "I'm coming for you Quatre…" She said to herself as the shuttle blasted off again.
****
Usagi approached her father's colony, seeing five machines floating outside. She knew what it meant, her father had done this to them.
"I won't let you get away with this…" She whispered as she climbed into Sandrock. "I'll set you all free, I promise." She said, starting the gundam up, she heard it hum and smiled as her training began to come back to her slowly.

Duo sat in his mobile suit, awaiting for the princess to attack once again. The rest of them were stationed elsewhere, he was just a decoy so Heero, Trowa, and Wufei could attack her and kill her. Quatre was on the inside, protecting their leader, the all powerful Mistress 9 as well as his love… Miyana. Duo's felt something tugging at his heart as he thought about killing Usagi. He didn't think he could do it… why not, though? He's strong, he can easily defeat her…
"Why do I feel like this?!?" He demanded, grabbing his head as a searing pain ripped through his body. "What's wrong with me?!?!"

Usagi approached the colony, seeing only one lone mobile suit outside of it. 'This must be a decoy to catch me off guard' She thought to herself as she approached slowly in SandRock.
"I'm coming for you guys…" She whispered, as she drew her blades, heading straight for the mobile suit. She swung the blade down onto the mobile suit and was surprised at the reflexes of the pilot. The pilot of the other suit drew a weapon that resembled a scythe that the Grim Reaper carried. "He's pretty good…" She mumbled as she attacked again, embedding her weapon deep into the arm of the suit. She grabbed the suits other arm, preventing him from bringing the scythe down on her.
"Come on Usa-chan, you can't beat us." Came a familiar voice. The face of the braided pilot popped up on the screen, smirking evilly at her.
"Chan?" She questioned, a look of confusion on her face. He didn't seem to recognize his mistake and took that opportunity to push SandRock away, knocking both blades from her hand.
"Time to die, princess." Came a monotone voice over the radio. Usagi glanced behind her just in time to see another mobile suit swing an energy saber down on her. She whirled around, facing this new pilot as she desperately tried to hold him back.
"Heero?" She questioned, feeling anger well up inside of her. "I'll make them pay for what they've done!!" She shrieked, feeling anger take control.
"Die now, weak woman…" Wufei's voice said as he too, attacked her from behind. Trowa didn't say a word, but managed to get in his own attack, sending her crashing into the colony.
"I won't let them win!!" She shrieked, a white glow emitting from her body as the crescent moon burned brightly on her forehead. She brought her blade down on Wufei's mobile suit, cleanly slicing the arm off. "You'd better go back to dock before your suit blows up," She informed as she moved on to the next pilot. "Who's next?" She asked, her voice as cold as ice. She saw Trowa make a move toward her, shooting several rockets, which she dodged rather easily. "Is that it?" She asked, a smirk on her face. "You're going to have to do MUCH better than that, Trowa." She commented as she lunged at him, sending his mobile suit crashing into the colony. She flew after Trowa, totally forgetting about Duo and Heero.
"Look out!!" She heard Duo cry out. She turned just in time to see Duo jump in front of Heero, the blade going through the center part of the suit.
"Duo!!" She shrieked as she saw the suit sparking, on the verge of blowing up. 'He saved me… he must not be totally evil…' She thought as she turned her attention back to Trowa. He seemed to be having problems and she easily defeated him, making sure as to not kill him.
"You're a traitor, Duo, I'll kill you now." Heero's emotionless voice stated as he drew back his saber, getting ready to destroy Duo's suit.
"NO!!!" Usagi shrieked, jumping in front of Duo. She grabbed the suit's arm and managed to get Heero to drop the saber. "Heero, come back to us. I know you're not evil," She begged, feeling sadness creep over. "Please…" She whispered, feeling the tears begin to collect in her eyes.
"Heero! Trowa! Wufei! Duo! Return at once!" A voice ordered over the radio. Usagi watched in shock as the four pilots headed for the colony.
"We'll fight another time, dear sister." Heero said, with a smirk on his face.
