"We didn't even have to use our sabers, or beam gun. I sincerely hope this
is not how the Romafellar foundation is prepared, otherwise, the Earth will
fall."
Her Gundam seemed to agree, flashing its eyes at her still form. She appeared to listen to it, and then responded.
"Yes, we are going back to the colonies after this, but I don't know if we should. Romafellar captured Dr. Kieler. I don't think that's too good. What do you suggest?"
The Gundam's head suddenly turned toward the now-decimated base. Relena put a hand to her face from the newly risen sun's glare before jumping down to the cockpit. She rushed to accelerate the heat boosters on her back, hoping that she wouldn't be seen. The heavy cloak that hid Gate Keeper from thermal sensors was going to hinder them, but that wasn't going to stop her.
Approaching the charred, blackened ruins of the base was a great machine, hovering slightly over the ground. It hesitated before dropping to the ground on its huge feet. It had yellow spikes coming from the crown of its head, and held a long stick, with a wickedly curved energy scythe emerged. The machine's pilot handled the weapon as the Grim Reaper would. With it was another Gundam. This one was a light gray, with a huge emerald sphere where the cockpit would have been. It had a sharp, narrow metal face, with bright mechanical eyes. There were rib-like markings on the Gundam, and it closely resembled a skeleton. It held a beam saber in its hands. Relena sighed, and flew into the air before she and her Gundam were caught.
Then she veered off course as a huge, red and orange face appeared in her view screen. Heavyarms was flying straight for her! She calmly accessed another of the wretched things. She berated herself for not remembering the pictures. Duo was here! Along with Trowa Barton, and Heero Yuy, both pilots of great skill. Relena threw all her strength into the igniting burners, and flew away at top speed. She sighed, trying to calm her racing heart down. Gundam Heavyarms had really scared her back there.
She calmed her pulse and set a trajectory course to a colony near hers. She wondered about the two Gundams she had seen. Why had she been ordered to run away? Weren't they her allies? She mused, undoing the safety restraint and turning over to get some sleep.
"Will you be alright without me for a while, Gate Keeper?" she asked her friend softly. She heard a beeping, and saw that Gate Keeper had put the flight course on auto pilot. Relena smiled as she fell asleep, mumbling something about how machines always got the best of people. The Gundam ignored the human for the rest of the flight, during which, Relena slept away the horrors of her battle.

Relena expertly maneuvered her Gundam through space, until she had arrived near the colony that supposedly had housed a growing Wufei, Chang and Gundam pilot 05. She chuckled at herself, thinking about her data on the Gundam Pilots. She hoped they never met again. She busied herself with finding an appropriate hiding spot, then found one in an abandoned asteroid factory. She quickly left the suit there, and went to the near-by colony. She arranged for a space shuttle ticket to be made out to an alias, and went aboard the shuttle that very day.
Relena calmly read a magazine on the plane, next to her neighbor, who was enjoying a drink of rich brandy. She turned away from her to look out at the Earth. She thought it so ironic that the planet that gave them birth, would ultimately bring their doom. Everyone wanted a piece of it, and everyone wouldn't wait for peace, or care about the poor.
And so greed ruled the Earth, turning once sweet tempered young girls, into dangerous little warriors.
