Author's Notes: Well here's another chapter that Turles and I wiped up together again, so enjoy.

Chapter 4: Forgotten Pasts

On board Peace Million, Heero Yuy was listening in to the international military frequency while typing away on his laptop.

"...in a related topic: The Defence Department announced today that the delayed production of the Alpha, the ground-space type Mobile Suits, will be back on track by utilizing the World Economic Consortium (W.E.C.) base facilities. The mass production of the Mobile Suits has been delayed due to a massive explosion in the unit's main factory that was held on planet Mars. The cause of the explosion is still under investigation. To take extra precautions, the Mars Mobile Army issued a high-level alert to the Middle-east Division..."

Turning the radio off, he took a small card from a previously unseen pocket, and logged onto a website listed on the card.

User: Hyuy1

Pass: ***********

Looking at the screen, a picture of Peace Million appeared, along with a small picture of the words, "Hello, Thank you for using RRAGG Secret Extraction Services. Ask, and you will receive."

Heero Yuy clicked on some old databases for the history of RRAGG. So far, he had found some old MS plans, some historical documents, and even schematics for a colony. But he hasn't been able to find anything he needed.

Suddenly, he came upon a file marked 'Links from Old to New'. Thinking that the file could be what he was looking for, he opened it.

Here, Heero once again consulted his own information and found that the RRAGG network had quite an amount of 'restricted' information.

Checking out every single file, Heero knew all the information given in this file. He was briefed on this quite thoroughly in the past, so he closed the file, and looked for something else.

A file caught his eyes with the label 'Sank Kingdom Resistance'. He wondered what was in this file that makes it so restricted, so he opened it, and read.

He read that on the days before the Sank Kingdoms first collapse there was a small army that wanted to protect the kingdom. It wasn't much only a few legions of mobile suits, but it was nothing compared to the power of the Alliance Military. Heero read this like he was reading a history book, dry and yet informative in a very boring way. But there was a name that he saw that caught his immediate attention; Commander Liu Hyuga of the Grandia Forces.

That name. Heero knew that name from his dream, and just as he thought of the name something else came back to him from that dream. Just as the Alliance broke through he remembered a very courageous line that this man spoke before Heero awoke.

"Let us die like heroes, lest we live like slaves tomorrow."

"It was all real." Heero thought, "It was all real."

But Heero read on and found out that this Commander Hyuga had a son. Heero only glanced at the name but there was something next to it that Heero expected; missing presumed dead. The name was; Kamui Hyuga.

***

In the darkness of the night, Kamui Hyuga had sneaked his way back into the Sank Gabriella Institute. He had to do this otherwise it would have raised too much suspicion among his classmates. Especially Dorothy Catalonia, that girl knew something about him but he made sure that she was in her place.

The mission for Kamui was to destroy a mobile suit plant that wasn't too far away from the institute. Though he wasn't taking any chances on time so he had a motorbike set up somewhere in the woods. When he got to the plant he got a first hand look on the mobile suit that he was briefed on; The Alpha model mobile suit.

To Kamui's eyes it was nothing special, just another roll off the assembly line suit, simple design with no extra features. Just plain white mobile suits with a gun and shield that included 2 small missile launchers. It was so plain that Kamui had an even better reason to blow it all to hell, but that was hours ago, what's in the past can't be undone.

He raised his leg over the banister of the second floor men's dormitory of the Sank Gabriella Institute. This is where his room was located and it was a good thing that he wasn't sharing it with anyone else. If he did he would have had to think of a cover story as to why he was so late in getting back. Not only that but he'd also have to report to the headmaster about this, since going out late was forbidden here.

As Kamui brought his last leg over the banister, he didn't know but he was being watched. A few doors down the hallway at the corner watching with careful eyes was Relena Darlian. She had made a special visit back to this place because of both business and it had special meaning to her. Since Dorothy was here too finishing up her remaining school years, she gave Relena a hot tip on this boy.

"He's a Gundam Pilot." Dorothy had whispered into her ear earlier.

"I will not pay attention to such idle talk, Dorothy." Relena had preached.

Even though she did preach this earlier to Dorothy, she couldn't help but wonder if the boy really was who Dorothy said he was. Relena watched from her corner as Kamui came up into the hallway over the banister that looked out into the night. Somehow, Relena knew it was true, but it could have been anything. Kamui could have simply been another boy who was trying to stay out late against the rules. Relena needed something else to confirm that undeniable feeling she had that the idle talk that Dorothy had given her was true.

That final piece was whispered by Kamui himself, "Thank God, that mission is over."

The whisper was loud enough for Relena to hear it. It was true, this boy is a Gundam Pilot. How could she not have understood it? Dorothy may be an arrogant upstart but she had good instincts. She nailed the hammer on the head about this boy, but what could she do about it? Why is there another Gundam Pilot here? Are there more? What are his intentions? These were the questions that Relena had in her mind, but it was too much for her. She had to tell someone, but whom?



***



Excited panic that was the only emotion that swam through every nerve and blood vessel within Relena's body. Another Gundam Pilot, here in the Sank Kingdom. Who is this boy? Is the name Kamui Hyuga an alias or is that his real name? She couldn't deny it, she had to relay the message to someone. She needed to notify the authorities, Preventer.

In her suite, Relena dashed to her computer and made a long distance call to outer space. To Peace Million, the call took only a couple of seconds to make because of the fast relays the Earth and Space had at their disposal.

The screen opened a window and Relena saw a familiar face, Heero Yuy.

"This is Preventer, how may I serve you?" He said

"Heero." Relena sighed

"What is it, Relena?" Heero asked concerned.

"Heero, I've made a discovery here within the Sank Gabriella Institute that I think should be of concern to Preventer."

"What is it?"

"I found another Gundam Pilot."

Heero stared for a moment, "How can you tell?"

"I had a tip from one of the students here," She explained, "At first I didn't believe it until I watched him with my own eyes. I heard him whisper something about a mission that he did earlier today."

"Strange." Heero muttered, "There was a mobile suit plant that was destroyed today."

"I wanted to bring this to the attention of Preventer before it becomes to big of a problem."

"You've done the right thing, Relena." Heero assured, "Just keep him there."

"I'll try."

The discussion ended but another began with an old voice calling Relena.

"Miss Relena?" The voice called

Relena turned and there she saw her old butler, Pargan. This was the man who had been there ever since it was known that Relena was a family member of the Peacecraft family. He has been known to be a great friend as well as a good advisor.

"Yes Pargan?" Relena asked

Pargan had a worried look in his eyes over shaded by his shaggy grey eyebrows.

"Is everything alright?" He asked

"I've just informed Preventer of the presence of a Gundam Pilot here in the Institute. Our job until Preventer gets here is to keep our Gundam guest here."

Pargan nodded, "I know just the thing that'll keep him here."

"I'm hesitant to keep a person here by force, but we have no choice until we know what his objectives are."

"I understand, Miss Relena. I'll see to our guest."

***



Back on Peace Million, all of the Gundam Pilots were assembled and already on their way to Earth in a small shuttle. It was all courtesy of Preventer.

Trowa floated down the Isle towards Quatre and Duo. He heard the two of them talking to each other about the news that they had just been informed about.

"Do you think it's the pilot that saved the circus goers at Colony L-1?" Duo asked Quatre

"It is a long shot." Quatre responded, "but it could very well be."

Duo started to scratch his head, "I'm not so sure if we can trust Relena to try to keep a supposed Gundam Pilot there."

"Why do you say that?" Quatre asked

"If he is a Gundam Pilot and had as much training as us, then he wouldn't have allowed his identity slipped so easily."

"Unless." Trowa postulated, "whoever this unknown pilot is, wants us to catch him."

"The answers will come to us," Quatre said, "we just have to wait."

While this idle talk was going on, Heero was still haunted by the dream and those names: Commander Liu Hyuga, Kamui Hyuga, and the Sank Resistance. Why did this dream happen to him? He never heard of any of these people. Nor did he ever know of a Resistance held by the Sank Kingdom. He knew that they tried to defend themselves against the Alliance, but a resistance? Heero looked out at the Earth against Space and thought about the answers that will come.

"Is this some kind of joke?" Kamui asked as he was handcuffed to the chair.

Earlier in the night, Pargan had slipped into Kamui's room and sprayed him with a gaseous sedative. This knocked Kamui out for sure and this provided the opportunity to hold Kamui here in the Sank Kingdom until Preventer would arrive.

He sat in a chair in Relena's suite with the handcuffs carefully woven into the chair bars and to his wrists. While his ankles were tied to the chair as well.

"I apologise for this." Relena implored, "We mean you no harm, but we have had some suspicions about you that we want to clear up. Please, we only ask your co-operation."

Kamui rolled his eyes, "Whatever happened to a cup of coffee and a handshake or do you do this to all of your guests?"

The door opened to Relena's suite and in walked the officers of Preventer: Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Quatre Raberba Winner and Wufei Chang, who were also accompanied by Trowa Barton. They brought Trowa along for this trip because they felt that if this Gundam suspect was the one that was at the circus then Trowa could identify him. Though the only thing that Trowa could go on was the suspects voice.

Kamui made eye contact with Heero Yuy. The two of them locked in each other's eyes. There was something between them, though it was more of a suspicion or knowledge about each other. One knew something about the other, but they needed one another in order to find the truth.

"Kamui Hyuga, I presume?" Heero asked

"Heero Yuy," Kamui smiled, "Or should I say, Odin Lowe JR.?"

Heero's eyes narrowed. A normal person would have been shocked if a secret from their past had been discovered, but not Heero. Heero simply stood there looking at the tied up Kamui Hyuga with his Prussian Blue eyes staring at him.

"Odin Lowe JR.?" Duo asked, "Is that your real name, Heero?"

"It doesn't matter." Heero answered, "It is all in the past."

"Heero." Relena whispered.

"There are some questions I'd like to ask." Heero demanded, "What was your fathers name?"

Kamui's face lowered, it wasn't in shame it was more in frustration.

"This is what you had to clear up with me?" He asked Relena.

"I'm asking the questions here." Heero asserted, "Answer me. Who was your father?"

Kamui shrugged, "My father died when I was very young, but all I remember is he was a commander. Besides that I don't remember."

"I do."

All the questioning eyes in the room turned to where the voice came from. They looked over in the corner, there stood the old butler, Pargan. Did he have the clue to this puzzle or had he lost more marbles than he ever counted?

"Go ahead Pargan." Relena coaxed, "Who is this boy."

Pargan answered, "He is the son of the commander of our Resistance when the Sank Kingdom first fell, Commander Liu Hyuga."

Heero looked to the ceiling as if thanking God; "I knew it." He thought, "I knew it!"

Pargan continued his explanation, "When the Sank Kingdom came under the attack of the Alliance, there was a small resistance against it. The army was small and was nothing compared to the might of the Alliance Military. The commanding officer was Liu Hyuga. His last words were…"

Heero knew those words before Pargan even spoke them.

Let us die like heroes, lest we live like slaves tomorrow.

"During this attack," Pargan added, "the last of the resistance fought hard to get the surviving members of the Peacecraft family out, yourself Miss Relena and Milliardo. Though Commander Hyuga had a son, but he was missing presumed dead."

"Pargan." Relena called, "If you knew this why didn't you say anything when he came here?"

"I had to be sure it was him." Pargan explained, "that part of his father being a commander was the final keystone."

"For once I was lost," Kamui smiled, "but now I am found."

Trowa stepped forward towards Kamui, "Not yet." He said, "There's one part I must know. It was you at the circus wasn't it?"

Kamui smiled, "It was I, Triton."

"I prefer to be called Trowa, but how do you know that name?"

"Let's just say, I was watching you from the shadows of the Eve Wars."

"What are your objectives?"

Kamui's words spoke true, he knew that he couldn't get away. Then again he didn't want to get away.

"My objectives are to overthrow the Mars Senate and its dictator Senator Tatsuzou Sudou. The very evil man who has terrorised the people of Mars, killed men, women and children, all in the name of spreading his way across Mars."

"Finally!" Duo rose his arms.

"What is it?" Kamui asked

"We've been waiting for some kind of evidence that the Senator had been doing a lot of unethical activities. Unfortunately the bureaucrats down here take too damn long. Now we have witnesses, are there others?"

Kamui nodded, "My group, the Enders have their doubts about you. I'm pretty much the closest thing they have to a top notch Gundam Pilot. In the beginning we didn't want you to get involved. So we conducted our own resistance against the Mars Senate."

"So," Quatre pieced, "you allowed yourself to be captured."

"Yeah." Kamui laughed, "Do you really think a Gundam Pilot would be captured so easily?"

Duo shrugged, "He has a point, our next step is to make a strike against this dictator."

"Shouldn't we inform Kamui's group about this?"

"Leave that to me." Kamui volunteered.
