It had been a long month. All of the Gundam Pilots had been battling against a new organization simply known as BRIVA. All they knew was that it was evil, and wanted to take over all colonies, earth, moon, and any other human inhabited place. They had no idea where BRIVA's home base might be located. It is the year A.C.198, Earth and space had only been blessed with 2 years of peace. Heero called for a meeting, which was held in his house in the L1 Colony area.

Duo says matter-of-factly, "Well, since BRIVA is evil, we'll just have to destroy them! How hard could it be? Not very hard for Shinigami!"

"Well, you haven't done very good so far, any of us, we've all just barely managed to win these battles..and you said it would be easy!" Quatre burst out, a bit aggravated by Duo's simple plan.

There was no way they could just come up and say, "Hi. Oh, you're evil? That's too bad, I'm gonna have to kill ya! SMACK! BOOM! DIE! ALL BETTER!"

Defeating BRIVA wasn't going to be just a pushover, like others have been.

"Duo, you should know better.then again, I AM talking to Duo.." Heero said, awaiting a defensive reaction.

Wufei scoffed, "That's true, say it slooow."

Duo knew Heero & Wufei were saying he was stupid, and not wanting to get hurt, said, "What do you want me to say, that I'll never be smart?! Just look at me now, I'm much better that ALL of you! So, HA!"

The other teens just stare, trying to guess when Duo will figure out he can't possibly do this on his own, and admit his idiotic action. Duo stops, and everyone resumes the meeting, letting him pass on his little parading "I'm better than Heero!" by Heero swiftly yanking the fat braid, silencing him when he let go. Duo cradled it & made soft whispers to it.

Quatre, "Can we move on, you can hug your hair later!"

The tall pilot, aggravated, said, "REALLY, I can't stand it, with Duo being the way he is, then Quatre...." DINGDONG! No one moved, they weren't used to somebody coming to visit, especially Heero's house. DIIIINGDOONG!

"Who the hell is that??" Duo wondered aloud.

Quatre woke them from their trance, "Well, SOMEONE answer it!"

He saw no one make any effort to go up & answer it, so Quatre sighed, and got up to answer the door.

"What...?" Quatre was surprised.

There on the doorstep was a little girl, no more than 6, crying her eyes out. Her chestnut hair was generously long and wavy. There was planes overhead, with BRIVA's emblem on them.

"Guys, you're not going to believe this." Quatre said, stunned, as he bent down to see a partially torn letter in the girl's hand.

He went on to see that she was very dirty and had many cuts & bruises. She also had a severe arm wound.

His eyes saddened, "Oh no..what happened to you? What happened?"

The girl didn't answer, too petrified with fear. Then she collapsed, right there. Quatre picked her up, and carried her in.

"What?? Uh.Quatre, what happened to that kid?" Duo asked, bewildered.

Quatre replied, angry, "I'm not sure, but I know BRIVA was involved. I saw planes with BRIVA emblem on them, and this girl has a serious wound, plus the envelope she was holding had their name printed on it!!"

When Wufei & Trowa laid eyes on her, their eyes widened in shock. What could've happened? And to a small child? How could they? There was no sign of destruction anywhere on the colony. Also, the planes had vanished. Heero and the others helped Quatre with the little girl. That was a day ago, still no trace of BRIVA. Quatre went in the spare room of his house, it had been decided his house would be best for the child, to check on her. All 5 pilots lived within close proximity of each other, all in the same L1 colony area. Her head and arm were bandaged, and she slept soundly in the bed. Quatre closed the door. Another meeting was scheduled, mainly about the girl & the letter.

"So, how is she?" Heero asked.

"Fine, she hasn't woken up yet, she'll be hungry." Quatre replied.

Wufei questioned, "The girl had that letter from BRIVA, what if she's with them?"

"I doubt it, she's looks only about 6, and besides, why would they beat up a fellow.well, she's young to be a soldier, but considering Mariemeia, anything is possible. But still.." Trowa said.

Duo got out the letter again, it read:

THIS IS BRIVA, WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE. WE KNOW WHERE YOUR HEADQUARTERS ARE

LOCATED. THERE'S NO ONE TO STOP US FROM TAKING OVER. WE HAVE SEVERAL BASES,

ALL MONITORING YOUR BATTLES. STAY OUT OF OUR WAY, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW

POWERFUL WE REALLY ARE. SURRENDER YOUR GUNDAMS AND GIVE UP. OTHERWISE,

WE WILL BEGIN OUR RULE BY BLOWING UP THE COLONIES. MORE CIVILIANS WILL BE

ANNHILATED AND A NEW SET OF COLONIES WILL BE BUILT, IMPROVED AND

CONTROLLED BY OUR RULE. WEDNESDAY, 14 HUNDRED HOURS EASTERN TIME, THE

BRIVA FORCES WILL CONFRONT THE L4 COLONY CLUSTER. THERE WE WILL BEGIN

OUR REIGN. MEET US, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

"Who do they think they are, threatening us like that? Duo blurted.



"I don't know, but we better think fast, today's Saturday!" Wufei reminded him.



Trowa said, "BRIVA means business, we can't let those colonies get destroyed."



Heero, "Yeah, we'll need to ask Howard to help modify our Gundams."



"What are we gonna do with that girl? We have to go fight, we can't just leave her either!" Quatre said.



"We'll find a way," said Trowa.

Wufei, " We are almost powerless against them, we have to figure out how to get stronger, so we can crush BRIVA!"

The gang was just about to take a lunch break, when the girl peeked around the kitchen wall.

"Oh, hello. Are you hungry? How are you feeling?" Quatre asked.

The girl just stared with her large emerald green eyes.

"Hey, we're not gonna hurt ya, we're the good guys!" Duo assured.

The girl recognized Quatre, and suddenly ran over to him. She burst out crying. Quatre comforted her, and told her to stop crying.

Trowa fixed her a sandwich, and handed it to her, "Hungry? Go ahead."

The girl took it and practically inhaled it, she was starving. While Wufei and Trowa fixed lunch, Duo, Quatre, & Heero talked to her.

"Can you tell us what happened to you?" Heero asked.

"BRIVA attacked my colony, they killed my mommy & daddy and they took me away." She said, frightened by the memory.

"That's terrible. Hey, what did they do to you?" Duo asked.

"Well, umm, they.they.took my stuff and made me help them destroy the city, and if I didn't wanna, they hit me and put me in a Mobile Suit and made me fight. I got hurt a lot," the girl explained.

"How did you get that letter, did they make you deliver it?" Quatre wanted to know.

She replied, "Yeah, they told me to come here, and to make sure you got it."

Everyone ate lunch & resumed the meeting. The girl, whose name they found out to be Kaitaku also attended. She seemed to know a lot about the war, and surprisingly about Mobile Suits.

But before they could go on, Duo whispered to Wufei, "Uh, is it me, or does Kaitaku need a bath?"

Wufei whispered back, "Duh! We're not sure if we should, well, bathe her ourselves, or.call Relena or someone."

"Ah, but Relena is in another colony, but I'm sure Heero would have no problem with that." Duo snickered.

Everyone still had no idea they how they were to handle BRIVA. They knew their power, and the new Garider Mobile Suits' power. But Trowa had a plan, a dangerous one, but it was a plan. He wasn't sure it would work, so decides not to reveal it just yet. What would happen if it failed? He thought. It greatly involved Kaitaku. There would be a way she would help them succeed.
