Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam, if I did, I'd be rich, and ya know what? I'M DIRT POOR!! I've got 23 cents to my name! So please...don't sue me! However, I do reserve the rights to Katsumi, Severina, Tom, Li, and Kenji. Severina's name was concocted by Zero (her penname is Crow Black Dream, check out her stories!), arigatou, Z!

From Chapter seven...
Brash glared angrily at Katsumi. "Tell me where are the rest of the Gundams?!" He screeched. "Sir, perhaps...we should...leave," Gomon suggested, as he finished Severina's torture.
"I dare you to...leave," Severina gasped, "Your lives will end, and nothing you can do will stop it," She added as she closed her eyes tightly, trying not to think of her situation.
"And if our friends don't kill you," Kat finally spoke as she looked at Brash, "I will,"
Part VIII~Return to Peace
With that, the door opened to reveal Thomas Parks, backed by Heero, Duo, and Quatre.
"GET OFF HER!" Tom screamed, seeing Severina's peril. The young Aussie aimed the gun he had been carrying and promptly shot Gomon, who flew back with the force of the bullet.
"Heero!" Relena cried happily as Gundam pilot 01 came to her cell and put a small bomb on the lock. "Stand back," he advised. The Vice Foreign Minister obeyed, and the lock exploded, setting her free. Relena fell upon Heero with a hug, and he did nothing more than hold her there, comforting her.
Tom attached the same sort of bomb to Severina's cell, allowing entry. Quatre ran in and quickly covered his friend with her clothes that were sprawled on the floor next to her, then began to pick the locks to her handcuffs. "I'm so sorry," Quatre lamented as he picked the locks. "Don't worry, I'm okay now," Severina said quietly.
Duo entered Kat's open cell door and stared at Brash in the eye. "Bastard," the braided pilot muttered as he pointed his gun. "Give me the keys to the handcuffs," Duo advised. Brash flinched.
"NOW!" Duo yelled, thrusting the barrel of the gun into the White Fang member's face. Brash handed a ring with four keys on it to Duo. The braided American shot the kniving man one last glare and then went to Katsumi's side and began to undo her bindings.
Brash moved towards the cell door only to find himself staring down the barrel of yet another gun. "You're not thinkin' of escaping, are ya, mate?" Tom asked as he smiled sarcastically.
"Duo, you-" Kat was interrupted. "Ssh, don't worry," Duo said softly as he undid her handcuffs.
"He drugged us, we can't walk," Severina pointed out as Quatre unlocked her right binding. Duo finished with Kat's handcuffs and tossed the keys to Tom, who passed them to Heero, who passed them to Quatre. Duo wrapped the blanket around Kat's body and began to help her up.
"I can walk," Kat stated, blushing a little. "What should we do with this ass?" Tom asked, shaking the gun at Brash.
"Someone give me a gun and I can solve that problem for you," Katsumi muttered. Deathscythe's pilot shot a surprised look at his comrade, he'd never seen her so full of hate before. "We'll bring him with us, maybe he'd like to have his life played with for a change," Duo suggested. Heero nodded just as Quatre covered Severina and scooped her up in his arms. She blushed.
"Let's go, the others may need our help," Quatre said.
Later…
Severina and Kat lay in the back of the shuttle wearing space suits and sleeping on sleeping bags found in the survival kit. Quatre sat with them, watching over the girls. Severina stirred and opened her eyes.
"How are you feeling?" Quatre asked. The young woman attempted to seat herself up but couldn't due to her recent drugging. "Here," Quatre said as he moved closer and helped his friend up.
"I feel under the influence," Severina chuckled.
"I was so worried about you, I was worried we wouldn't get to you before…" The young man's voice trailed off, fearing his own thoughts. Severina smiled sympathetically and put her hand on his hand. "Thank you, Quatre,"
Just then, Heero walked into the room. "We've retrieved your mobile suit and we're proceeding to the White Fang base to help the others. Will you be able to fight?" He asked Severina.
"Kat should be able to, but I'm not sure about myself. I still can't move," Darksaber's pilot sighed. Heero nodded and then left. As the Wing Zero pilot traveled down the shuttle's corridor back to the cockpit, he passed the room where Relena was sitting, listening to a radio station playing soft music. The young man nearly passed the door, but something made him stop and enter. Relena was listening to the radio with her eyes closed; she didn't hear Heero come in as she nodded her head to the beat.
"Relena," Heero almost whispered. The young woman jumped, startled.
"Oh, Heero! I was listening to some music, it's less depressing than the news, I think," Relena explained.
"Relena, I—I missed you,"
"I missed you too, Heero," Relena whispered as she stared into Heero's deep blue eyes.
Back to the other pilots…
Miyabi Kenji stared at the blank screen before him from inside of his Gundam's cockpit. He couldn't help feeling as though he would not be coming back, an odd feeling of doom.
"Kenji, we are ready to launch," Trowa's voice called through the communication system.
"Acknowledged." The Knight Gundam pilot said coldly. He reached for a button on the computer panel and pushed it. The Gundam sprang to life.
"Are we all ready?" Wufei asked.
"Raion Gundam all set," Li stated.
"Heavyarms ready,"
"Knight Gundam standing by,"
"Alright, Preventers: Commence operations"
Meanwhile…
By this time, Katsumi was awake and able to move around. She had wandered off to an empty cargo hold and was staring out of a window into the void of stars.
"Hey, is there room for one more?" A voice came from the door. Kat turned to see Duo there, leaning on the doorframe. "Sure," she said, turning back to the window. Deathscythe's pilot came close to her and tapped on her shoulder.
"What?" Kat asked in a slightly agitated tone. Duo placed a gun in the young woman's hand and then motioned to the door. Brash stood there in handcuffs, looking rather upset and frightened.
"His life is in your hands now, just like the millions of colonists lives are in ours," Duo explained. Kat stood there in a sort of stupor for a moment and then suddenly aimed the gun at Brash. She took careful aim at him, hate swelling in her body. She was going to kill the man who killed her spirit.
"His life is in your hands now…"
Suddenly, Kat found her hand trembling and the gun shaking. What was wrong? Didn't he deserve to die? Didn't he hurt her best friend? Why was she hesitating?
Anya Katsumi got a smug look on her face and the gun quit shaking. She forced the barrel right into her enemy's visage and smiled at him. Brash closed his eyes tightly.
"Bang," Kat said as she dropped the gun to the ground. Brash flinched, and then fell to the ground, passed out from fear.
"I'm proud of you, Kat," Duo said softly. "We're Preventers, aren't we? No blood if it's not necessary, right?" The young woman smiled at her comrade, who squeezed her shoulder.
"Just lock this bastard up in the worst prison you can find,"
Outside Colony L3X-148992"So Wufei, do you want to clue us all in to what's going on?" Li asked as the four Gundams approached the colonies.
"Our mission is to get all of the civilians out of the colony and if at all possible, take out White Fang," Wufei explained.
"How do we get in?" Kenji asked. "There is an abandoned space port on the Earth side of the colony, we'll use that to get in." Trowa said.
"Sounds like you guys could use a little help out there!" Came a familiar voice over the communication lines. "Huh?" Li began to look about himself out of his scopes.
"The Calvary is here boys!" Said another feminine voice. "Kat?" Kenji asked as he switched his visual monitor to a radar screen. Sure enough, there were three mobile suits headed their way along with a shuttle.
"It's them! They made it!" Li said excitedly.
"This is Quatre and Severina here, we'll load all of the civilians into the shuttle while you guys take care of White Fang, got it?" Quatre's voice came.
"Roger that," Wufei said.
"Let's finish this," Tom declared as eight Gundams and a shuttle headed towards Colony L3X-148992
Inside the Colony…
Trente Kumoshiro sat at a desk, seething at the loss of Relena. "Heads will roll for this…" He muttered to himself. Before he had a chance to gripe anymore, the doors to his office flew open.
"Sir! The Gundams are heading this way!" The officer that had just flown into his office declared. Trente stood and pounded his fists on his desk.
"Dammit!" He shouted as he ground his teeth together. The man held that position for a few seconds, then, a grin took over his face.
"Let them come. They're more than likely here to take the civilians out of the colony, but they won't leave alive. Prepare the missile satellites."
"Sir,"
Preventer Headquarters
Zechs Marquis walked into the communications center to find out how things were going. The pilots had left nearly three days ago and still no word, he was getting worried. As he entered the room, his wife whirled around and wrapped her arms around his body.
"Zechs, they found her! They found Relena!" She exclaimed. The man stood there for a minute embracing his wife and trying to make sense of everything. As he suddenly realized that this was no dream, he was aware. Zechs's heart suddenly sped up and a smile crossed his face as he held Lucrezia tighter.
Back to the pilots
By this time, the eight Gundams and shuttle were inside the colony. Kenji had gone off with Li to make an announcement to the civilians and Heero, Kat, Duo, and Tom had started to take over certain White Fang facilities.
"Attention all civilians, please head to the abandoned spaceport area of the colony immediately for evacuation," Kenji's voice came over the colony's announcement system.
"All people who want to leave must go now," He added.
"Hey, Kenji, don't you think this has been a little too easy?" Li noted.
"Hm?" Kenji inquired as he worked at overriding White Fang's digital controls on the colony.
"I mean, shouldn't we have run into some soldiers or a booby trap or maybe--" before he could finish the door burst open.
"An ambush," Kenji finished for his comrade.
Meanwhile, Heero, Kat, Duo and Tom were overthrowing a White Fang weapons facility when a transmission interrupted them.
"Calling all Gundam pilots," Said a voice. An image flashed on their Gundam's screens of Trente Kumoshiro. "This is Trente Kumoshiro, and if you wish to live, I suggest that you surrender yourselves and your Gundams to me," He declared.
"Haven't we heard this speech before?" Kat asked.
"If you don't, I have missile satellites aimed at this colony, if you do not surrender, we all will die," The evil man laughed.
"You idiot!" Duo screeched.
Back to Kenji and Li, the to young men had their hands in the air staring into the barrels of guns, listening to Trente's announcement. "Li, get back to the others," Kenji whispered. The young Asian man gave Kenji a weird look. "What?"
"On my mark…Go!" The two men dropped to the ground and kicked their captors off of their feet and ran for their lives.
"Heero, come in Heero," Kenji pulled his walkie-talkie up to his mouth and called over the radio waves.
"Here," Heero responded.
"Keep on evacuating, I've got it under control," The Knight Gundam pilot declared. "Kenji? What are you planning?" Heero asked.
"You'll find out,"
Preventer H.Q.
"What?!" Lady Une exclaimed. "Affirmative, they've got missile satellites aimed right at the colony, what do you want us to do?" Severina reported through a visual transmission. Une felt completely powerless.
If we pull the Gundams out those civilians will never escape, but if we don't pull out, they all die…Mr. Trieze, what would you do?
"Wait a minute…what? Kenji?" Severina asked someone else on a different line. Une could hear another staticy voice reporting to the young woman.
"Scratch that, Kenji has it under control," Darksaber's pilot reported.
"How?" Une asked. "I wish I knew, but he won't even tell us,"
Back to the pilots…"Found you," He murmured as he broke down a door. Inside was the office of Trente Kumoshiro, who was rather surprised to see the intruder.
"Take any more steps and I'll push this button," Trente sneered, his hand hovering over a button on his desk.
"Not a chance," Kenji said darkly as he lunged at Kumoshiro. The White Fang leader would have pushed the button if it wasn't for the force of a young man tackling him. The two began to fight each other, wrestling on the floor of Trente Kumoshiro's office for the fate of the colony as his compatriots were helping people escape.
"Come on people, this colony could blow any minute, come with us!" Duo urged through his Gundam's megaphone. This particular colony wasn't very densely populated. It hadn't been since the first White Fang took it over nearly three years ago. Lots of people moved away, too many bad memories.
"I think there are only about thirty more people in the whole colony, including the White Fang, we gotta hurry though," Li noted through the communications. "Right," Heero affirmed.
Severina was looking out of the shuttle's cockpit window at the mass of people getting into the large refugee ship. By this time she had regained the use of her upper body and was keeping the Preventer base up-to-date while Quatre and Relena helped get all of the people into the ship.
"Severina, I've got the last of all of the people and we're headed your way. Duo's got all of the White Fang guys and they've surrendered." Kat reported in.
"Great, Quatre's got a special cargo hold just for them, all we need is Kenji and then we can get out of here," Severina reported. Little did the young woman know that her friend was going to have difficulty leaving the colony.
"Why…did you revive White Fang?" Kenji demanded as he caught Trente in a headlock. "We were supposed to rule space and Earth, and we all agreed to take it over for Treize Kushrenada,"
"He's dead, you know that," Kenji laughed as Trente threw him off and tried to make a run for the button. Kenji tripped him and slugged him.
"Not only for him, but for me, I revived White Fang, and I will bring suffering to all who oppose it!"
It was then that Kenji took out his walkie-talkie with his free hand and turned it on. "You all must leave without me," He spoke. Across the radio waves, all of his comrades stopped.
"What?" Li's voice asked.
"The minute I leave this room, he will bring all of those missiles down, I have to stay to make sure he doesn't do that until you're clear of the colony," the young man explained as he continued to fight with Kumoshiro.
"Kenji! No! We all have to leave together!" Kat cried over the radio. Kenji smirked.
"Go, I'll hold him," He said.
"Understood," Heero's voice said solemnly. By this time, the other pilots had loaded all of the refugees onto the ship and were about to get in. Kat was the only one resisting.
"We have to help him!" She shouted as her Gundam began to walk away from the ship. "This is his honorable fight, you must leave him to it," Wufei shouted as his Gundam entered the cargo area.
"Damn honor! Damn it all! Life is precious, we shouldn't just throw it away!" Kat cried. "Man, I didn't want to do this," Duo declared as he lifted his Gundam's scythe and stabbed Angel's leg, disabling it.
"DUO YOU ASS! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!?" Kat raged. "For you," Duo said softly as he began to tow Kat into the ship.
Kenji overheard the whole thing on his activated walkie-talkie. "We're lifting off, Kenji," Heero's voice told him. Only ten more minutes, they only need ten more minutes to get clear of the colony… the young man told himself as he punched Trente again.
"NO! I won't let you take away my victory!" He screamed with all of his rage.
"Watch me!" Kenji retorted as the two began to have at each other even more.
The remaining pilots could hear the whole fight through the radio waves. Kat's eyes were glistening with tears as Duo squeezed her shoulder tightly. Severina held her head down, knowing how cruel this end would be. Quatre gripped the controls tightly as he guided them out of the colony and to safety. Tom was ranting in the back of the cockpit, shouting obscenities while Li chanted a prayer in Chinese. Wufei watched out of the window as he silently thanked Kenji for his sacrifice. Heero held Relena, who was also thanking Kenji silently.
Two minutes…Kenji thought. "The needs of many outweigh the needs of a few, this is my sacrifice for the needs of many," He said. Trente, with one final blow to Kenji's face, dashed for his desk to push the button.
"Friends…" Kenji's last whisper.
"NO!" Kat cried as she watched the colony explode with the impact of the missile. She buried her face in Duo's chest as she burst out into tears. She hated death and suffering.
Preventer H.Q.
Zechs, who was listening in on the whole thing while staring out of his window into space, saluted to the stars. Thank you, for your noble sacrifice, Miyabi Kenji,
Noin entered the room and saw her husband there, and joined him in saluting one of the Preventer's bravest members.
Peace…once again we have peace
Stay tuned for the Epilogue!
