HA!! Imagine that. I forgot my disclaimers. Shame on me. Oh well; I do
not own Gundam Wing nor Candidate for Goddess but I do own the trainees in
this story and this story itself, so BACK OFF!! It's mine. Thank you and
now enjoy chapter two: Meeting II.

"Hi! My name's Yuska Hayama!" 55 exclaimed cheerily. 56 looked him over and smirked before walking away.
57 also looked him over but smiled merrily and shook Hayama's hand, "Hey, I'm Teknou Kenichi. Don't mind Hein, he's just so determined to be the best."
58 also shook Hayama's hand, "They call me Uuka Asko."
"Li Gares." Stated 59, "It's a pleasure to meet the final group member."
Hayama blinked, "Wait, you guys have already met? How did you know you were all candidates?"
"Well, Gares here is the computer expert and managed to hack into their database and get the profiles on us. From there he contacted us all." 57 spoke up.
Gares pushed his glasses further up his nose, "But you were on such a distant location, contact was not able."
"Well, shall we go find our rooms and wait?" Kenichi asked.
The group of boys began to walk away as Hayama stared cluelessly, "Wait for what?"
"The battle in space, my boy," Kenichi said as he slung an arm over Hayama's shoulder, "After that we can meet the Gundam Pilots."
*~*~*~*~*
BAMM!
Deathsyche slashed through a small group of mobile dolls, "Ha! Take that you shit-heads!" He exclaimed.
"Duo, watch out!!" Quatre shouted over the intercom.
"Wha-" Duo turned around just as a mobile doll aimed its gun at him and blasted. The force of the hit sent Duo flying back with small explosions all over Deathsyche.
"DUO!!" Quatre cried. The other three pilots stopped their fights to see Deathsyche floating lifelessly in the air. Each tried switching to his frequency but all they received was static. In anger, they quickly destroyed the rest of the suits.
Once they were left floating in space, they heard a faint clap coming from their intercom, "Bravo," Duo coughed as he clapped, "Spectacular performance."
Heero smirked and sighed in relief that his best friend wasn't dead. He flew Wing Zero over to Deathsyche and grabbed the Gundam before flying back to the base with the others, "Duo, you're a moron." Heero stated.
"Hey, at least I'm a living moron!" Duo whined.
*~*~*~*~*
Hayama, Kenichi, and Gares all entered their shared bunker and each chose a bed, discovering that one was already taken, "Hein must have been here." Kenichi suggested.
In the middle of their unpacking, Asko ran in at top speed, "Hey! They're back!" He exclaimed. Quickly all of the boys ran out of the room and down the halls. As they ran by, they passed Hein.
"Hey Hein! Come on, the Gundam pilots are back and we're gonna go see them." Hayama invited. Hein said nothing but followed silently, 'At least he was willing to come with us.' Hayama thought.
As they were about to turn a corner, they stopped dead in their tracks to see the group of teens from earlier plus one more girl run by. One of the teens was on a stretcher with an IV hooked up to him, "Whoa, what was that about?" Kenichi asked, a bit bewildered.
"We should probably search elsewhere for the pilots." Gares suggested. They all agreed and walked away.
Meanwhile with the Gundam pilots, Hilde had now joined up with them along with Relena as they wheeled Duo to the infirmary, "Geeze Duo! I just finished repainting Deathsyche and you go and get him blown up." Hilde scolded.
"Hey, I'm the one on the stretcher, have a little heart." Duo joked.
"I'm gonna go start repairs on the Gundam you demolished." With that, Hilde turned around to walk away.
"No wait!! Hilde come back, don't you care about me? HILDEEEE!!!" Duo wailed as their distance became greater.
Hilde quickly slipped into the engineering room and leaned back against the door, 'Duo, I care about you more than anything else in the world. I don't know what I'd do without you.' She thought dreamily, wiping away a few tears that had leaked out of her eyes.
*~*~*~*~*
The small group of boys were now dragging their feet back to their room and very unhappy, "I can't believe we didn't catch one glimpse of the Gundam Pilots." Kenichi sighed, dropping onto his bed.
"I know and by the looks of this, the whole program seems like a total snooze." Hayama groaned and the others agreed.
Gares chuckled, "You guys don't know what out toy is then."
Everyone looked at him, "What toy?"
Gares smiled evilly as the light reflected off his glasses, "Why the original Wing Gundam."
Hayama practically leaped over his bead and grabbed Gares by the shoulders, "We actually get a Gundam?!?!?" He exclaimed happily.
"It's still being rebuilt at the moment and we probably won't be able to use it for a while." Gares explained.
"Why?" Hein demanded, speaking for the first time.
The others looked at him but shortly returned focus to Gares, "They're trying to break apart the ZERO system to a lesser strength. They don't want the same thing that happened to some of the Gundam Pilots to happen to us."
"What did happen?" Kenichi asked.
"They went insane, didn't you know that?" Gares asked them, "Anyhow, I know where they're keeping it, so why don't we go check it out." They all agreed and once again, left the room.
*~*~*~*~*
"Well, this is it." Asko said, looking up at the large doors.
"So how do we get in?" Kenichi asked examining the lock on the left side.
Gares walked up to it with a smile, "Simple." He typed in a number and the doors opened, "The code they've given you opens the doors, I discovered that it was the key to all training facilities on the base."
"You're really good at this hacking stuff." Hayama commented as they entered the room. Inside, they discovered that the lights were on and in the center of the room was the partially assembled Wing Gundam, "Cool!" Hayama exclaimed as they ran up to the main level to get a closer look.
"So this belongs to us?" Asko asked, dumbfounded.
"Exactly." Gares nodded vigorously.
Before anyone else said a word, they heard the doors open again. Quickly, they hid behind a corner as two sets of footsteps were heard. They peeked around the corner to see the blonde haired girl and spiky haired boy from earlier walk up to the main consul where the girl sat down and the guy perched over her shoulder. "…I hope Duo will be ok." The girl sighed worriedly. They heard her fingers fly across the keyboard as the screen flickered to life.
"Duo's been in worse messes than this." The boy stated monotonously.
"You're right." She breathed.
"Did the hacking operation go smoothly?" He asked. 'What hacking operation?' All of the boys wondered.
"Yes, it went just fine. Pilot candidates 59, 43 and 67 successfully passed through our test barriers to retrieve the required information." The girl stated as she typed on her computer.
Gares almost gave them away out of shock, 'WHAT?!?!?!!??! That was all planned!! And I wasn't even the only one.' Rivers of tears flooded out of his eyes, "Good." The boy commented.
"Anyway, I finally found the key to breaking down the ZERO system and I'm going to try it tomorrow." She explained, "Will that be soon enough or do you want me to try it tonight?" Hayama stared at them curiously, 'Teens are in charge of the ZERO system? What's going on, who are these people?' He wondered.
"Don't worry yourself with it tonight, Relena. There's been a lot of things happening today." His cold gaze softened as she leaned back in her chair.
Then, suddenly, she leapt out of her chair and faced the boy, "That's just it, Heero! I'm not needed around here once the ZERO system is completed! I thought I belonged on the diplomatic end of it all, but my brother has that taken care of. Here, you and the others have everything taken care of." She cried, "I don't belong anywhere and I can't help-"
Relena's rant was cut off when Heero grabbed her shoulders, "Listen to me, Relena. You play just as big of a roll as we do, possibly more. You belong and the world needs you…I need you." He stated sternly.
Meanwhile Gares pondered over the names, 'Relena and Heero. Where have I heard those names before, they seem so familiar.' "Heero I-" Once again she was cut of when he pulled her to him with one hand and tilted her chin up with the other.
As they inched closer, Hayama mouthed to the others 'We should probably go'. They all nodded and began to sneak out a back door when Asko's foot kicked a pipe, sending it rolling. As quick as lightning, Heero sprung to protect Relena in a defensive position with his gun armed and ready, "Who's there." He demanded in a low growl.
Meekly, the five boys walked out, embarrassed at being caught along with Hein who casually came out with a straight face. Heero was somewhat relieved to discover that these were only trainees but still irritated that they interrupted his moment with Relena, "Identify yourselves." 'So I can have your heads.' He added the last part silently as he clicked his gun.
They gulped in nervousness, accept Hein, but Relena quickly placed a hand over Heero's and made him lower the gun, "Heero no," He looked to her for an answer, "These are candidates."
