I hope you readers noticed the small joke in the last chapter, its his last
name Suna. Suna means sand, and Quatras Gundam is called Sandrock...
anyway on with the fic. Because of people demanding Usagi/Quatra coupling
I have decided to make them a couple... so stop bugging me already.

"We have rid ourselves of one of the pilots master, are you pleased?" a
smug female voice asked, chilling laughter filled the air.
Suddenly there was a crackling noise and the owner of the female
voice screamed in pain, there was silence for a few minutes.
"Fool the pilot of the Gundam Sandrock is alive, you have one more
chance to destroy him..... or face your own destruction," a male voice said
coldly the last part a whisper, the female shivered knowing what her master
promised.
"Yes master, please forgive me," she begged bowing her head to the
ground, she then faded from view as the master laughed.
"First the Gundam pilots, then those annoying Sailor brats... then the
world is mine," the master sneered, more chilling laughter followed.

"Oh wow, its a beautiful day," Hikari sighed happily, a doctor had
taken him to the hospitals private garden to get him fresh air. He sat in a
comfortable wheelchair a nice blanket covering his lap, it was early morning
so it was still a tad chilly.
The sky was a beautiful shade of blue with nary a cloud in sight, birds
sang cheerfully from the trees, the sky and a few strange perches. The grass
was a healthy green and the scent of flowers filled the air, it was just
perfect.
"Enjoying yourself," an amused voice chuckled, Hikari turned slightly
to see Ami walk into view in her candy striper uniform.
"Oh yes theres lots to enjoy Ami, anyway this is my first time I've
been allowed out since I first woke up," he told her truthfully, she smiled
and sat on a bench beside him.
"The doctors are hoping it will help you remember something, anyway
tday the doctors tell me I'm to help you about today," she told him, he
groaned slightly knowing what this meant.
"They want me to try walking distances today, don't they," he said and
she nodded, he knew that it was coming since his exercises were going so
well with the doctors... but it seemed so soon.
"Only a little distance to strengthen your leg mucles again, and I'm
also here to make sure you don't over tax yourself," she told him, he nodded.
***
Hikari lay limply on his hospital bed exausted, his exercise that Ami
had helped him with had exausted him greatly. His blue eyes were closed to
meer slits that let him look at the ceiling of his room, he sighed wondering
what other tortures the doctors would put him through.
"Hey, don't tell me your too exausted to meet my friends," an amused
voice teased, Hikari glared at the owner of the voice. It was Ami again and in
normal clothing now, her volunteer shift as a candy striper was over today.
Then he sighed knowing that he couldn't blame her for his exaustion,
after all she was trying to make him able to walk well again.
"Well, as long as they don't stay long I'll be able to last," Hikari told
her and Ami nodded, she then helped him to the seat next to his bed so he
could meet them properly.
"Just wait a few minutes Hikari, my friends are just down the hall
waiting for me to get them," Ami told him, he nodded and she slipped out of
the room.
'I have a feeling that things are about to become very interesting'
Hikari thought, he stifled a yawn for he was very tired.
***
Duo ran through the apartment the pilots shared, his face was filled
with a deep confusion and sadness. In his left hand he clutched something
tightly, it was something very important.
"Duo, what has got you all upset?" Wufei asked spotting the braided
pilot, Duo motioned for the chinease pilot to follow him.
Soon he had also found Heero and Trowa also and they all gathered
togeather, they all looked at Duo waiting for him to say something.
"I found out something about Quatra," he said quickly, this quickly
grabbed the others attention even the usually emotionless Heeros.
"What did you find?" Trowa asked, his one green eye not hidden by
his dark blond hair stared at Duo. Wordlessly Duo uncurled his fist from
around the object in his left hand, silence followed.
It was the goggles Quatra had always worn while piloting his gundam,
and they all noticed something at once... on the edge of the goggles was dried
blood.
"Quatra... I think he might be dead," Duo finally said, that could explain
what had happened to the kind hearted gundam pilot.
'Just please let me be wrong this time' Duo thought, god he hoped he
was wrong.
***
Hikari sneezed and then blinked, he didn't know why he had sneezed
since there was no dust in the air here.
"I'm back, and I brought my friends with me," a cheerful voice, Hikari
smiled as Ami came back into his room followed by four other girls.
"Hi, its nice to meet you all," Hikari said politely, the four girls giggled
slightly. Finally the four of them stopped giggling, Ami introduced her
friends.
"This is Rei," she said, Rei was a slim girl with startling violet eyes and
long raven hair. The girl Rei nodded and smiled, Ami then turned to the
second teen.
"Its nice to meet you Hikari," Rei said with a slight bow to her head.
"And this is Makato," Ami told him, Makato was a tall strong looking
girl with deep green eyes. She had chestnut brown hair tied into a ponytail,
she seemed nice enough.
"Hello," the tall teen said simply.
"This is Minako," Ami told him, Minako was a blond haired girl with a
red bow in her hair, the girl winked at him in a flirtative way.
"Hiya cuty," she said cheerfully, everyone sweatdropped briefly.
"And last of all, this is Usagi," Ami said introducing her last friend,
Hikari looked at the last teenage girl and the world seemed to freeze.
A beautiful girl stood there, she had childlike blue eyes set in a heart
shaped face. Golden blond hair set in a odango styled hair, the rest of it fell
just below her knees in ponytails. She wore a simple skirt and blouse, but an
aura of kindness and love seemed to surround her.
"Hello Hikari, I'm very glad to meet you," Usagi said, her voice was
gentle and was beautiful to his ears.
"Its nice to meet you all," Hikari said truthfully, thankfully he held
himself back from blushing after meeting the blond odango styled blond.
***
Usagi blinked as the platinum blond teen looked at her, he had the
same shade of blue as herself in his eyes. His heart shaped face and his
slightly tousled hair gave him an angel like look, even though he was pale
from his hospital time he was very cute.
"Is it true you have total amnesia," Minako asked suddenly, Usagi
wanted to groan at how tactless the other blond was at that moment.
She knew that having amnesia was a bad thing, and it was probably
something Hikari didn't want to be reminded of all the time.
"Its true, I can't remember a thing about my past," Hikari told Minako,
Usagi sweat dropped (along with the rest of the scouts) when Minako
became flirty.
"Well... maby I can help you get over your problem, with your
memory that is," Minako said with a large smile, she leaned forward while
Hikari looked at her with slight confusion.
"Thanks for the offer but no thanks, I don't think you'll be able to help
me very much," Hikari said, he inched as far away as he could from Minako.
"Oh well," Minako sighed, she then pulled away from Hikari and Usagi
could see that the boy was relieved.
"Do you know when you're getting out of the hospital?" Usagi asked,
Hikari frowned slightly a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Not exactly, but probably in the next five weeks if my physical
recovery keeps going well," Hikari answered her, she nodded glad that he
wouldn't be here for months.
Usagi was now that that Ami had brought her to meet this mysterious
boy, it brought her out of the slump she had fallen into. Mamoru her so
called soulmate had once again dumped her, and of all the reasons was that
she was immature as a child and had bad grades.
Once those had been true but after Galaxia she had matured greatly
and was as mature as any other sixteen year old, also her grades were
climbing at great rates since there was no evil to fight at the moment and
probably none for a long time.
***
Trowa stared silently out his bedroom window his heart heavy with
sorrow, he had never thought that he would loose someone he thought as a
little brother. Quatra was like a younger sibling, all the pilots felt the same
about the the gundam Sandrocks pilot.
It was then that he felt something wet and cold slipping down his
cheek, startled he touched it.
"I'm crying," he whispered sadly, it had been such a long time since he
had cried and he had thought he had forgotten how to.
"Quatra please be alive, your the light of our team," Trowa whispered,
sadly he looked down at his right hand where he held tightly onto a certain
someones goggles.
'Wait a minute Quatras gundam and body was never found at the sight
of teh explosion, there might be a chance that he is still alive' Trowa thought
green eyes widening, he then ran out of the room to get his Gundam.
He had to find out what had happened to one of his few friends, and
somewhere Quatra could be hurt badly and still waiting for them.
"..." he said as he arrived in the gundam hanger, waiting for him there
were the other gundam pilots.
"Hey, you didn't thing your the only person that came to that
conclusion. Well were going to find Quatra too, were going to find our friend,"
Duo said as he climbed into his Gundam, once Trowa was in his own Gundam
he allowed himself to smile slightly.
'Hold on Quatra, were all coming to find you' He thought, then as one
four gundams blasted off into the sky.
