Disclaimer: You have two choices. One: To let me own SM&GW. Or two: To let me get
away with owning SM&GW! ^_~
*owners* : How about three?
Cheska: What's three?
*owners* : Just let you say the needed disclaimer without having to sue you?
Cheska: *mumbles to herself* Fine, I'll say your stupid disclaimer.
*owners* : Stupid? We don't find it stupid at all! *grins*
Cheska: I don't own SM&GW.
*owners* : Good for you! Now we'll let you go. *goes away*
Author's Notes: Well it seems my vacation has come to an end. *saddens* And I just
started to relax! Wahh!! Now it's over, darn...darn, darn! *grumbles*
Well besides evil school starting up again, why not look to the bright side?
Ano...uhh...hmm...you have this new chapter out! ^_~
I think that's about it...ja ne!

"Why don't you show me who you are?"Usagi inquired.
After a few moments, the figure reluctantly agreed and moved to get up and finally
drew closer to the small limited amount of light inside of the cell. Slowly, the
person removed its hood and revealed itself. At that moment, Usagi drew in a sharp
breath and her eyes widened in recognition.
Before her was a still beautiful woman with long silver-lavender hair done up
in a messily clad hairstyle of odangoes. Her figure was tall and slim with
an aura of royalty radiating out but now with a hint of caution and unsureness.
Her silver eyes that once held wisdom was overcast with dullness and filled with
tire. Slight signs of bags were under her eyes and her youthful face is now
showing lines of worry and fear.
"Okaa-san..."Usagi gasped in astonishment.

Present:
With Duo
and Quatre

Dim lights flickered on, allowing the two guests to view the small room that Dr. H was
currently residing inside. Stacks of papers were littered all around the small room alongside
other boxes filled with loose tools or possibly unidentified important objects that he would
choose to bring with him. Other pieces were just junk or forgotten relics that the doctor
ignored to realize its value. As the two inspected the room, the doctor walked off in search
of his computer.
"Ahh...here it is,"Dr. H murmered as he brushed aside piles of loose papers to reveal
the device that lies on a wooden table.
Soon the sound of clicking went off and as the doctor typed, Duo chose to find a chair to
sit on. He figured that this would take awhile before the doctor found the whereabouts
of this important character. Whoever it was.

Colony L5.2
***********
*tap* *tap* *tap*
"Any clue of the base, yet?"
"Hnn...."
"......"
"Guess not."
*tap* *tap* *tap*
*DOWNLOADING*

*LOADING*

"Seems that it got lowered to only Sectors 13 to Sectors 24,"Wufei commented as he
gazed over Hiiro Yuy's shoulder.
"Hn."Hiiro glared momentarily at the screen before resuming his research.
"We are to search for their main base. Meaning where they keep all the important
papers that they may have found along the way since Operation: Meteor,"Trowa
murmered.
"Or even before that,"Wufei grunted as he typed away.
*tap* *tap* *tap*
*knock* *knock*
"Hn."
"...."
"Hn."
From the two grunts and silence, the door quietly swung open and Milliardo came in
with a stack of papers and a maid carrying three trays of food. The maid chose the nearest
table and set it down before scurrying off with a click of the door, leaving Milliardo alone
with the three pilots.
"These are all the papers I could find about this newly structured colony and also
a bit about what was uncovered about the new organization that my men and the Preventers
have found. Also what I've found while staying here,"Milliardo asserted as he laid it down
between Hiiro and Trowa's working station.
Trowa quietly took a moment to gaze at the stack of papers and folders before giving a
silent nod of gratitude to his previous foe. Wufei took the moment to actually grunt
a word of thanks to him but Hiiro didn't say anything as he clicked away.
"If you need me, I'll be in the study,"Milliardo informed them before moving off to the
door.
As soon as the door closed, Wufei stopped his typing and inspected the documents. The
Chinese pilot flipped through it, his eyes reading its contents. Hiiro worked alongside
the Silencer, the two still researching non-stop.
"You know, the things he's found out about this colony isn't too wasteful. The structures
of the Colony is all here, from top to bottom. Each design, each piece of material that
they've used is listed in here."Wufei commented.
"What about secrets? Anything about that? Loose flooring, passages, sewer structures?"Hiiro
listed out.
Wufei was silent for awhile before his eyes slightly widened.
"None of that, but there is this old sector between 13 - 24. In that sector, it was closed
down because of a fault in the strutures."Wufei stated.
"Any mapping?"Trowa questioned.
Wufei flipped through the papers to search for it but stopped and shook his head.
"None."
"Then we'll look for it,"Hiiro said.
***********
*On Earth*
***********
~Dream Sequence~
Darkness.
Flashes of thunder and lightning.
War cries.
Bloodshed, tears, cries of horror and pleading of mercy.
"Iie!"
~.~
Space, the endless stars, and darkness.
Earth.
The colonies.
Then a beam of light followed others and gunshots.
Great mechanical beasts fighting outside in space in front of Earth and the colonies.
Then a thought.
(I don't want to fight but I don't want them to die. No more deaths, no more
suffering.)
Beams of light, the fighting gets more intense.
(No more.)
Explosions occur and a tear falls and floats out in space.
(I don't want anyone else to die. I'm sorry, my friend....I'm sorry...)
Clashes of beams form together and a white light occurs from the impact.
(Okaa-san....my friends...and...)
The last thought was silenced and a pure white glow erupts in outerspace, being
viewed by everything. Its intense brightness engulfing everything on sight and
reflects off of Earth.
~End Dream~
A gasp comes out of Rei's mouth as she bolts up from her dream. Beads of sweat
forming from the corners of her temples and her purple eyes were wide as it darts
around the room.
"It's much, much more detailed than all the others. And I'm sure that's the ending
of it. That's all of it....I'm quite sure. Demo...those thoughts, those feelings
that that person had. Could it be?"Rei murmered as she clutched the blanket around
her form, her eyes then drifted off to the group picture that was taken only a few months ago.
Her eyes resting upon one person, Usagi.
"I just hope it isn't, I don't want you to sacrifice yourself. I'm sure that's what
you would've done, from those thoughts...it would've been that way because of your powers being
capable of stopping wars..."Rei murmered and settled herself down on the bed.
"Wherever you are right now, Usa-chan...don't get into trouble..."Rei hoped as her
eyes closed once more.
**********
Back with
Duo&Quatre
**********
"Okay from the looks of it, they moved the prisoner again..."Dr. H spoke up
and immediately Quatre and Duo straightened up and made their way over to him.
"That's not good, definately not good..."moaned Duo as he slapped his forehead.
"Any clue on where he/she has been moved?"Quatre inquired.
"Well, I've looked and it seems that they haven't left the colony yet. Just
a different station,"Dr. H stated.
"That's good news,"Duo sighed.
"Sure is, do you know where doctor?"Quatre hesitantly asked.
Dr. H tapped a few more keys into the system and then nodded his head. A few more
seconds later, a screen popped up showing the picture of the Colony. Dr. H pressed
his fingers around certain sections of the Colony, showing them to the two boys.
"It seems that they're located around here but underground. There are no sewers
available to get there, it's more like an underground basement except deeper. I'm
not too sure how you'll be able to get inside, but I don't doubt the two of you
in finding out how. Good luck,"Dr. H commented as he printed out a copy of the map
for them.
"Thank you, doctor,"Quatre nodded his head in gratitude.
"Yeah, doc you sure have helped us,"Duo grinned as he grabbed the paper and instantly
began taking in the possible routes.
"Hey Q-man,"Duo suddenly spoke up as he put the paper down.
"What is it, Duo?"Quatre wondered.
"Over here, starting today we'll check this street out. It's the only alleyway
for the block in where Dr. H pointed out at first. Might as well check it, right?"Duo
hinted.
"Why not?"Quatre shrugged.
"Well here goes nothing, doc. Let's see if luck is on our side today,"Duo exclaimed
as he grabbed his hat from his pocket and put it over his head.
"Don't forget to arm yourself, boys,"Dr. H reminded them as he waved at the two
retreating boys.
"We know,"Duo called back before Quatre shut the door in back of them.
Once outside in the cool air, light still filtered in but the signs of approaching
darkness invaded the station. The wind picked up more and the artificial sky above
them darkened a few layers with each passing ten minutes that went by.
"This used to be my hometown,"Duo conversed as they walked along the sidewalk, gazing
around them without being too noticeable.
"How was it like? At the orphanage,"Quatre questioned.
"Not too bad, none at all. Sometimes I wish I could go back to those days..."Duo wistfully
sighed as he fingered the gun inside the pocket of his jean jacket.
"I thought you were lonely back then,"Quatre asserted.
"Not too lonely, I had a friend. My best friend..."Duo revealed as they waited for the
light of the street to change.
"Your best friend? I would've thought it was Hiiro..."Quatre smiled lightly.
"Hiiro? Of course he's my best bud, but this one was a childhood friend. One that
I haven't seen in so many years..."Duo stated, his eyes dulling at the memory.
"What happened to your friend?"Quatre hesitantly asked.
"Nothing too tragic, just got adopted before the wars.."Duo waved it off.
"What's the...."Quatre was about to ask when it died on his lips as both of them noticed
suspicious looking characters rounding the corner to an alleyway.
"Seems we found ourselves some soldiers,"Duo narrowed his eyes and appeared more like the
pilot he was.
Quatre didn't say anything as he nodded his head and began following his companion across
the street.
***************
*Back to Usagi*
***************
"Okaa-san?"Usagi gasped at the sight that met her eyes.
The woman blinked repeatedly at the words that fell from the young girl's mouth.
"Okaa-san? Me?"the woman narrowed her eyes in mild confusion and fear at the
girl's outburst.
"Iie, iie...okaa-san! You are my mother! Can't you remember?"Usagi shook her head,
not wanting to believe this.
"Iie, I don't have a daughter. I never had one..."the woman shook her head.
(No, no!! This can't be true. It can't be!! After all these years, how could she
forget me? She promised that she'd come back and now that I found her, she doesn't...
remember..)Usagi couldn't believe it and lowered her head.
"I'm sorry, miss but I'm just not this woman you call okaa-san.."the woman murmered.
"Demo...you have to be her. Can't you remember me? Can't you remember our
promise?! You promised me so long ago....you promised..."Usagi sobbed out, tears beginning
to flow from her eyes.
"And what promise was that?"
"You promised you'd come back for me....you left me in Colony L2...this colony...with
a nun and a priest. For most of my lifetime, I've stayed here hoping that one day you would
return for me. Demo...you never came back, why did you leave? Was it because of these
men? Was it because you knew too much about the organization? Is that why you left,
okaa-san?"Usagi interrogated.
"I'm sorry about your mother miss, but I'm not your mother. I got captured by them after
years of hiding in Colony L2, I didn't leave anyone. I don't even have a daughter nor
have I gotten married before in my life..."the woman shook her head.
"If you're not...who you say you are, who do you believe you are?"Usagi quietly asked.
"My name is Selene. I come from the old base on the moon, I was born and raised
there all my life,"Selene answered.
(Okaa-san was raised on the moon also and her name was Selene, I believe...why can't
you remember me though? Why did you forget about your own daughter? And you forgot
about otou-san....)Usagi said in a melancholy manner.
"What's your name?"Selene smiled lightly in a vain attempt to make this young girl
smile.
"Usagi..."Usagi answered with a small half-hearted smile.
"Well Usagi, it seems we'll be here for awhile,"Selene said pleasantly.
Before Usagi could say anything a crash and bullets were heard flying outside.
"Maybe not,"Usagi commented at the sound of fighting.
"Hopefully, they're here to rescue us,"Selene murmered.
"Hopefully,"
A deep rumble erupted from outside with yells and soon a loud waning cry blared to
life. Footsteps trampled past their door and this drew in a deep breath from the two,
hoping against hope that they wouldn't be shot down to keep their rescuers from getting
to them. Luckily they forgot about their prisoners and kept on past but soon yells and
screams cried out and deep thuds fell as soldiers went down against the intruders.
"Whoever they are, they're holding out against this group."Usagi noted.
"There are only 20 of them in here..."Selene explained,"I've been keeping track."
"Well counting from what's been going on, the numbers are drastically going down,"Usagi
wryly said.
Suddenly all recent warfare raging on outside stopped and only two footprints were
heard.
"This is it,"Selene murmered.
"Whatever happens, happens,"Usagi sighed and clutched the broach she brought with her.
Drawing in a deep breath, she prayed inwardly and waited for the door to open. Seconds
passed by but it felt like hours.
(At least I met okaa-san, even if she doesn't remember me...I know it's her...I just
know it is...)Usagi noted.
Then the door being drawn open was heard with a loud creak and light enveloped the inside.
Two figures stood in the light.
"Is that her?"
The second figure nodded its head in assent.
"Which one, there was only suppose to be one hostage."
"Bring them both...."shrugged the second.
"Are you here to save us?"Selene interrogated.
"Yes, we are..."replied a polite voice.
The second figure didn't approach them, whoever it was was leaning against the doorway
its eyes closed and suddenly just as Selene took a step forward the person slumped to the
ground unconscious.
"Oh no!"the person instantly went towards his companion and checked down for the pulse.
"Is he okay?"Selene asked in a fearful voice.
"Iie, he's hurt badly..."
Usagi heard it and clutched her broach tighter and she drew herself upwards.
"Duo, hang on...please hang on...he's unconcscious..."
"Duo? You said, Duo?"Usagi murmered in shock, her eyes growing wider.
To be continued...
******************
Well she met her mother, except she doesn't know who in the world who Usagi is nor
even the knowledge she has a daughter. And now she meets Duo...although...he's not
a great shape. ^^;;; Heheh... *runs off*

Then the door being drawn open was heard with a loud creak and light enveloped the inside.
Two figures stood in the light.
"Is that her?"
The second figure nodded its head in assent.
"Which one, there was only suppose to be one hostage."
"Bring them both...."shrugged the second.
"Are you here to save us?"Selene interrogated.
"Yes, we are..."replied a polite voice.
The second figure didn't approach them, whoever it was was leaning against the doorway
its eyes closed and suddenly just as Selene took a step forward the person slumped to the
ground unconscious.
"Oh no!"the person instantly went towards his companion and checked down for the pulse.
"Is he okay?"Selene asked in a fearful voice.
"Iie, he's hurt badly..."
Usagi heard it and clutched her broach tighter and she drew herself upwards.
"Duo, hang on...please hang on...he's unconcscious..."
"Duo? You said, Duo?"Usagi murmered in shock, her eyes growing wider.
To be continued...
******************
Well she met her mother, except she doesn't know who in the world who Usagi is nor
even the knowledge she has a daughter. And now she meets Duo...although...he's not
a great shape. ^^;;; Heheh... *runs off*
