"Welcome to our school Miss Hera Matiko. I hope that you like it very much here. Welcomed Relena Peacecraft, head of the Sanq Kingdom.

Here are the keys to your bedroom. I hope that you find it very comfortable."

"Thank you for everything Miss Peacecraft." Said Hera, thought still unsmiling.

"Please, call me Relena."

"Er. Miss Relena then."

Relena smiled. Hera began walking towards the door, but it opened and a dark figure with chocolate brown hair came in. It was Heero Yuy, Gundam pilot 01. As Hera was walking out, she glanced over at Heero.

"Oh Heero." She said quietly, shaking her head almost wistfully and quickly

disappeared to find her bedroom.

Heero turned to face the now closed door, a frown on his face. He actually

looked confused for a change.

'How did she know my name?' he thought.

"Who was that?" Asked Heero.

"She's new," the eighteen-year-old diplomat replied, "her name is Hera

Matiko."

Heero sighed still very confused.

Hera walked into her room with all the gracefulness and stability of a cat.

Her footsteps were practically inaudible, and she seemed very alert and

aware of her surroundings.

She unpacked her meagre amount of luggage, consisting only of a lap top

computer, printer, scanner, some other mechanical bits and pieces, and a

first aid kit.

She didn't find much use for clothes like most girls. She considered them as a waste of money. Only to be bought if really needed, or for special occasions.

She set up the laptop, and hacked into Heero's files.

His name was down as Duo Maxwell on the profile. Hera now understood why Heero acted shocked when she said his name before she left Relena's office.

She also knew that Duo Maxwell was the name of the Pilot of the Gundam Deathscythe.

She closed Heero's file, and immediately another image of a young man, around 18 appeared on the screen.

"Hey Tori." Said Hera in monotone.

"The names Tori, Tori Shengtu." Making fun of Hera, as she usually changed her name, the same amount of times as someone changed their clothes. of course, he also knew that it was for her safety after all, but it was fun anyway.

"Knock it off, that's not funny. I haven't changed my name this time, just my surname. It's Matiko now."

"Well I suppose it doesn't sound that bad."

"Anyway, Heero's changed his name to Duo Maxwell in the school files."

"Isn't he that pilot of.. Deathscythe wasn't it? And you just can't resist hacking can you?"

"Oh, get lost."

"Yeah, yeah.. I am still watching Relena by the way. You know, to see if anything bad or unexpected happens to her." He said sarcastically. He didn't mean it to come our like that, but he couldn't stand how his dearest friend could be so obsessed about Relena, when she was already head over heals over Heero.

"Oh, good, could you please check now and again on Heero to please?" Missing the sarcasm anyway.

"Yeah sure. I'll let you know if anything comes up. But what about you? Are you OK?

"I can look after myself Tori. Dr. J can't find me here."

"I sure hope so."

Hera was in class, and was reading her essay on what she thought about the battles between OZ, and the Gundam Pilots. Heero was sitting in the far corner, in the darkness, with his eyes closed, and listening to Hera.

'She's.. She's different somehow' he thought.

Hera - encouraged by the audience's reaction to her essay - raised her voice

a little to finish reading it.

'The Gundam Pilots wouldn't be fighting if they had no reason to do so. They wouldn't have gone through years of vigorous training for nothing. But we, the Romafeller, and OZ, just will not stop for a few moments to listen to what they have to say, and what they are trying to accomplish with every battle.

It's unfair for them to keep on fighting this way until they get them selves killed.

These organisations clearly have to protect themselves, but in such a destructive, and violent way?

They could just try and talk it over with the Pilots. Is that so hard to do? They Gundam Pilots are just too blinded by their missions to realise their faults, and OZ and Romafeller have such big ego's, that they will not admit themselves wrong either.

These two organisations just can't seam to understand that the pilots are just trying to protect their colonies, but in the struggle, it turns into a war.

The white fang isn't helping either. They think that the people of Earth, was the reason why the war began, because they are so strong, but if we weren't strong then we couldn't have built the so-called 'weak' colonies. While, still, the people of Earth, people as strong as us, still remain to live in the colonies. So what's the point of their argument?

I believe that everything happens for a reason, but the white Fang are just ridiculous.

They have no purpose.

The Gundam Pilots will protect the Earth. I'm sure of it. The White Fang are

fighting a losing battle, which will be - and is - a waste of time, lives

and resources. I leave you with one repeated question,

Why does humanity fight?

Thank you for listening." Hera picked up her notes and started walking back

towards her seat.

Relena just sat there with her mouth open. So did many of the others. The

room burst into applause soon after - once everyone had had a chance to

overcome their amazement.

"Well, that was... That was excellent Hera! Well done!" Said Relena, awe

evident in her voice.

Heero was also amazed. How could this girl be sure that we will protect Earth, and not our individual colonies instead?

There's something not right here.

He looked over at her. She had her eyes closed and seemed to be smiling slightly.

Heero walked back slowly to his room, hacked into his school file, and was astonished to find that someone else had some how also hacked into them, and left a short note:

'I know who you are Heero Yuy. Be careful, someone else in school also knows your real identity. Be careful, please, be very careful.'

He tried to find the signature pattern of who had hacked into his file. No luck.

'Damn, they must have erased their path' he thought.

'Damn'
