"Well, well, well. It appears we have rats in the hangar. You were
supposed to-" She stopped as she saw Heero walk over to the elevator. "What
do you think you're doing? You don't interrupt the bad girl when she is in
the middle of a speech! Don't you know anything about drama?"
"Going down." Heero reached in and pressed the button for the first floor. The elevator doors closed, sending it down while Sheina screeched.
"Well, that worked." Duo patted Heero on the back. "Now let's go get our Gundams."
The pilots were boarding their Gundams when the elevator opened again and a very flustered Sheina walked out, while the nine guards, a bit nervous, opened fire. The Gundams blasted out of the hangar, and Sheina screeched again. "Why do they have to do everything the hard way? This isn't fair!" She recomposed herself. "Get the transports out. We'll have to start early. And get my suit ready, men. It's time to test out. the Vaycurius!" She broke into evil laughter and the guards followed. They slowly stopped.
"Aw, that was stupid. I need a new name." The guards nodded. "How about Vercurius?" They shook their heads.
"Mayeate?"
"Mercuriate?" They looked at each other and shrugged. "Okay then." She cleared her throat. "And get my suit ready, men. It's time to test out. the Mercuriate!" She broke into evil laughter and the guards joined in.

"Look!" Duo looked over and the other pilots turned their suits. "Transports! She's already starting Operation Meteor!"
"And there is a very suspicious purple suit flying over there." Heero noticed it right away. "Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, you guys stay here and take those things out. Duo, you and I are going to take out that suit." The two flew over towards it, while mobile suits began to come out of the transports. "Watch out!" Quatre cautioned. "These are Virgos, and they have the shields."
"That should be no problem for you," Wufei said. "You have the shotels." (a/n: blades)
"You're right. Wufei, you have the trident, so you and Quatre can take out the suits." Trowa pulled out his guns. "I'll go for the transports." He began to concentrate his fire at the transports, and when a few suits would get in his way, Quatre or Wufei would fly by and take care of them.
"We're doing well so far. Let's keep it up!" Quatre turned to slice another Virgo, while behind him a transport blew up.
"Front line is down, but there are a lot more transports ahead. Maybe we should have waited until they were in the atmosphere. Then the suits couldn't come out."
"We can't do that. If we waited, there is a chance the Earth would notice." Quatre explained. "We have to be careful. The people might see this and think we reconstructed our Gundams. If they do, it would seem like we're going against total pacifism."
"So instead of hurting our egos," Wufei finished, "we fight a battle in secret, and end a war before it starts. We save the people of Earth and space, and they never know."
"But they don't need to know. Our job is to protect the people from anyone who would want to obstruct peace. As long as the people don't know we're fighting this battle and they feel safe and calm, our job is done. All we have to do is destroy these suits, and they will never know."
"What about the colony?" Trowa asked. "I have no doubt they can see this battle."
"That is okay, too. They see it, and they know we're protecting them from harm, and maybe even making them more aware, knowing there was a group as evil as OZ right under their noses. I think they'll see it our way."
Just then, a beam of light traveled across their screens. It hit the colony, ripping through it, and traveled out the other side. In seconds, the colony exploded into dust.
*****
"NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Duo screamed as he saw the colony explode.
"How could you? Not even thinking, just blowing up the space colony." Heero's grip on the control hardened in fury.
"Well, you see, I wanted to strike now, while the Earth was sleeping. I couldn't the colony see this; then send the picture to Earth. It would be worse than having your friends take out my fleet. Dekim wasn't insane for trying to bring back Operation Meteor, he was stupid for televising it. He overestimated his power, which led to his demise. I won't make that mistake. If you strike while your victim is sleeping, you won't hear them scream, but you won't have to worry about a revolt. I re-created your Gundams to make sure everything went according to plan, and kidnapped you. I knew when you found out I had them, you would try and steal them. I figured you would try and escape, so I put in that 'antidote' where I knew you would find it. I wanted to kill you here, gloriously in a battle."
"You are insane."
"Yes, well, they say that about Dekim, and I'm not much different from him, am I?" She flew towards them. "I must say, it was quick thinking to hide the buster rifle. I thought you would find it though. Oh well, just makes the job easier for me." She fired, and the two Gundams split in different directions.
"You talk more than Duo, and I hate him because he talks too much. You're as good as dead."
"Hey!" Duo piped up. "I only talk a lot when I'm excited. And I was when I knew we would get revenge on Sheina!" He slashed at her, and she moved back. Before she could fire, Heero flew by, taking his buster rifle. He fired at Sheina, but she put up Mercuriate's shield. The blast was absorbed, and the suit floated without a scratch.
"Do you like it? It's a lot stronger than the one Mercurius used to have. It was made from pure electrical energy, so only something like rubber or rock could pierce it. And I don't see any asteroids around here, do you?"
"Duo, lend me your head."
"What?"
Just then, a comet whizzed by, hitting the shield and crippling it. Duo and Heero looked at each other and decided not to comment; they instead flew at Sheina.
"You don't get it, do you?"
They stopped.
"It really doesn't matter if you win today. Earth really thinks it can achieve total pacifism, but all they've got is a dream. There will always be a time when someone like Dekim, or myself, will stand up to Earth or the colonies, and try to take a supreme rule. Humans can never be pacifists, because they'll always want to fight. It's in their blood. And one day, you will lose. Succumb to the 'insane' leader. You can't win every fight. And when you lose, there will be someone, somewhere, who will rise to power, and take control of Earth, and the colonies. They will rule the way it should be."
Heero began charging up the buster rifle for another shot. ".Stop. Talking!"
"You think I'm going to let you stop my plans?!" She grabbed Vayeate's beam cannon and fired it at Wing Zero. The blast hit the Gundam in the head, blowing it back. The buster rifle fired, skinning Deathscythe, and it was too crippled to continue fighting. It hung, dead, with an unconscious Duo stuck in the cockpit.
"Now is where the battle ends." The rifle was dropped by the blast, and Sheina was right in front of Heero, her gun pointed at the Gundam's chest. "After you, I'll go and kill your friends, and Operation Meteor will be completed the way it was supposed to be."
"You forgot one problem."
"And what is that?"
"Beam sabers." In a flash, he had one in the Gundam's hand. He put it between her legs, and activated it. The purple suit was cut in half, and Heero could almost hear Sheina's faint scream as it exploded.
He put away the saber and picked up Deathscythe. "Let's take out these remnants, and we can finally get rid of the Gundams." Heero shook his head. "An entire war is fought in one day, and the Earth and space never know how much trouble they were in."
"Going down." Heero reached in and pressed the button for the first floor. The elevator doors closed, sending it down while Sheina screeched.
