Prelude to Power
Chapter 2- Attack
Disclaimer: Look, this is gettin old already. I DO NOT, WILL NOT and NEVER WILL own Gundam Wing. I gets no money from this and don't bother suing, or I'll send my puppy-dog Harley to lick you all to death, and believe me; he's cute, he will lick and his breath stinks!
*December 24th, AC196* It was Christmas eve yet again. Everywhere, children were being tucked into their beds with Christmas stories by their parents, young people were having parties, couples were kissing under the mistletoe after a bit too much alcohol.
On L3-X18999, however, soldiers were preparing and the head of this all was devising her plans. "Seeing that Schbeiker was a soldier in OZ, we should only take the brats." Marimeya Khushrenada was pacing around her study, watched closely by Major Merian Chang, who was standing next to the girl, and by Midii Une, who was hiding in the ducts. "Miss Khushrenada, that is a good idea, but what about 02? They are both trained soldiers, so how are you going to get the twins out without notice?" Marimeya's eyebrows knitted in frustration and deep thought. Suddenly, she smiled and laughed evilly, making Merian and Midii shiver involuntarily. "One of our men work for 02 and Schbieker. He'll know when they have their brats in the care of others. And I know for a fact that they are both out at a party tonight, the brats are in the care of 13 year old Belinda Thompson."
*L2, Scrapyard* It was 9pm. Belinda Thompson sat down after putting the young twins in their cradles and now she turned on the TV. The Marimeya soldier that worked at Duo and Hilde's scrapyard, Ross Greyson, was standing outside the twin's room. Once the coast was clear, he pried open the window and climbed inside. He then went around the room, picking up some stuff for the babies and dumping it all into a bag before grabbing the two and leaving a note. He then slowly climbed out of the window and closed it, then he crept away to where his car was. Belinda sat in the lounge, watching a Christmas eve movie, oblivious to what had just happened to the babies.
*Space, Location Unknown* "Are you sure that we should return?" "Look, the Barton Foundation's new figurehead is about to run amok, turning the Earth Sphere into their own to control." "Do you know who the figurehead is?" The man with short light brown hair shook his head. "If I did, would I be standing here telling you why we are going to go back to earth?" The other man with long platinum blonde hair mumbled a reply and got to work setting the coordinates for the blue planet. The other man looked longingly at the earth. 'I'm coming home. all will be right soon.'
*Earth, Outside of Preventer HQ, Sanq Kingdom* Sally Po, Lucrezia Noin and Lady Une all walked through the snow from their cars to get to the main building of the Preventers. "I sware, these people have no sense at all. Planning an attack on Christmas eve, how stupid!" ranted Lady as the three women stumbled into the warmth of the building. Sally smiled and Lucrezia laughed. "Look on the bright side, Lady. At least we get more time off later." Stated Sally. Lady shrugged and opened the door to her office to find two people she hadn't seen for almost a year. "Heero, Relena. what are you two doing here?" Neither spoke as Sally and Noin began to fuss. "Relena, what did you do to your hair?" asked Noin "Looks good, Lena." Said Sally "Where have you been?" "Have you been looking after her, Heero?" Relena cleared her throat, signalling that she wanted quiet. The two older women stopped and were quiet. "On L3-X18999, the Barton Foundation has began a coup d'état. We're back to fight against them." Heero then took over the talking. "Their leader is 8 year old Marimeya Barton, the daughter of Leia Barton." He then passed the three women the file containing Marimeya's information. Sally opened it and began to read aloud. "Marimeya Barton. Born June 16th, After Colony 188. Mother, Leia Barton, missing, possibly deceased. Father, Unknown." "Wait, wasn't Leia Barton the sister of the real Trowa Barton?" Noin asked "Who was the son of. Dekim Barton!" Lady finished. Relena and Heero nodded simultaneously. "From what we could gather, the foundation has over 2500 suits from OZ and White Fang and a further 2100 new types." Explained Relena. The three women nodded in confirmation and listened to what the two teens had to say. Five minutes later, Sally was off to call the Gundam pilots back into action and to enlist the help of a few friends.
*Winner Mansion, L4* 6 friends were out enjoying themselves at the Winner mansion for a Christmas celebration. ".And then 'sis threw up all over 'siris who threw up all over Duo. You shoulda seen it guys. Father and son covered in puke!" Hilde said as she laughed. Duo shot her a look and pretended to ignore everyone. Suddenly the phone rang and Quatre ran to get it. "Hello. Quatre speaking." The image of the caller appeared. It was Sally. "Miss Sally. How nice to see you again." Sally nodded and then gave her ulterior motive for her call. "This isn't just Christmas greetings Quatre, who's at your place right now?" "Duo, Dorothy, Trowa, Wufei, Hilde and myself." Quatre replied "Ok. Get them all over here at once." "Right. Take care miss Sally." The call ended and Quatre went back to the group. "We have trouble guys."
2 minutes later, Duo and Hilde headed back to their home and the other 4 headed for earth. Duo and Hilde would catch them up later.
Once the 4 arrived on earth, they were greeted by Heero and Relena. "When did you 2 get back?" Dorothy asked "Never mind that now, Une wants to see you and where's Maxwell and Hilde?" "They went back to L2 to check on their kids." Trowa replied "WHAT!" Relena squealed as Heero stared straight ahead with wide eyes. Then Quatre went on to explain what exactly had happened in the past 12 months as the group walked to Une's office.
*L2, Scrapyard* Duo and Hilde entered their house and saw their babysitter watching the Christmas movie. "Duo, Hilde. You're back early!" Belinda said "Listen Belinda. We've gotta go somewhere and need to take the kids with us, could you watch the house and the 'yard while we're gone?" Hilde asked. Belinda nodded and the three went down the hall to the twins' room. Upon opening the door, they saw that the cribs were empty and a note on the dresser next to the door. The note was in an untidy scrawl which looked like it belonged to a child. 02 and ex-officer Schbieker, I, Marimeya Khushrenada, the leader of the Barton foundation, have taken your brats children to my base to be looked after until you both come and have delivered both Heero Yuy and Relena Peacecraft here.
"Did that note say Khushrenada?" Duo asked in disbelief. Belinda and Hilde nodded, both looking at the empty cribs. Duo's expression was un-readable, but there was definitely anger and rage mixed in with. fear? Hilde wrapped her arms around Duo's waist and kissed his neck lightly. "Let's go get them back, Duo." "But they want Yuy and Relena. If the kids are with the leader, its gonna be hard trying to get them back."
*L3-X18999, Space* Midii picked up one of the squealing babies that had been left in the room with Merian. She began to sing a lullaby, one that was sung by her mother when she had been alive. "Dancing bears, painted wings. Things I used to remember. And a song, someone sings, once upon a December." Merian picked up the other and held him close so he could hear her heart beat. She then began to whisper a bedtime story in Chinese. The two calmed down and settled back to sleep. "I wonder who's are they. If she brought them here, they must be important." Midii said "She was saying something about Gundam pilot Duo Maxwell and ex-OZ officer Hilde Schbieker." "Hilde Schbieker? I used to be friends with her ages ago, way before the Alliance tricked me into being their spy and her family was exiled after her father was killed [1]. Looks like we three have something in common." Midii said "What's that?" Merian asked "Gundam pilots 02, 03 and 05, or Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton and Wufei Chang." Merian was shocked "How did you.?" "Know that you were. well are married to 05? Well, I did some background checks on the gundam pilots and you saying that you wanted to see one Wufei Chang again." At this point, Midii was smiling like the cat that had just ate the canary. "Oh."
*Some time later.* "The gundams are ready to go. I've had the weapons charged and loaded, the engines are working and the generators are at full compacity. The Space Leos have been re-modelled to withstand re-entry into the earth's atmosphere. Dorothy, Sally. You two will be taking the Leos. Noin, you have your Taurus and Hilde, you'll be staying here." Hilde shook her head. "No, I want to help. They're my kids out there, you have to let me go!" Duo stepped forward and gave Hilde a tight hug. "No, you're staying with Une. If anything happens to you, I'd never forgive myself. I almost lost you once and if you do get killed. I don't want the twins growing up without their mother." Hilde didn't agree, so Lady had to keep Hilde by her side at all times. Everyone else left for space. 'But what about you, Duo. I don't want our kids growing up without their dad!' thought Hilde as she walked back to Une's office alongside Lady.
A few minutes after their departure, two men showed up. "We see that you need our help, Lady Une." Said the taller of the two. Lady's and Hilde's eyes grew wide. "Mr Treize? Zechs? Is that really you?" "You're both dead, or supposed to be!" Around half-an-hour later, Zechs was getting the Tallgeese III ready for battle and Treize, an improved version of the Virgo. "You know what you both must do." Stated Lady. The men nodded "Good. I have let Sally, Dorothy and Noin know. You both will be joining them." Hilde watched as the two suits left the hanger and took off towards the sky. Lady put a hand on the girl's shoulder. "Don't worry Hilde. The twins are going to be in good hands, trust me." "I guess that's all I can do for the moment." Hilde replied, sighing. "Come on, let me get you something to eat or drink." Said Lady, escorting the teen to the cafeteria for a late dinner.
Some time later, the twins had fallen asleep and the two young women watching over them were almost nodding off themselves. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Midii quickly hid in a near-by storage closet and Merian stood up just in time to see Marimeya walk into the room. "Good. Tomorrow, we send both of them to earth and put them up for adoption. 02 will never see them again." Merian's anger boiled and she clenched her hidden fist. 'I can't blow my top yet. not until it is time.' "You will take them yourself, seeing you are my most trusted and loyal follower." "Yes miss Marimeya." Merian said, saluting the girl. "Now I must go. I have work to do." Marimeya walked out of the room and when the coast was clear, Merian opened the storage closet. Midii stepped out and sat down on Merian's bed. "Man that was close. What a bitch. I don't care that she's 8 years old!" Midii said. Merian turned to face her "We leave tonight, we go to Earth and find the Preventers." "But what about miss I'm-going-to-be-queen?" Midii asked. Merian smirked "What she doesn't know is that two individuals that she has so desperately been wanting is helping with my plan. Once they get here, we're out and then the real problems begin." "You mean. that 01 and Peacecraft know that you're alive?" Midii asked again, her grey eyes growing wide in excitement and surprised shock. Merian nodded and lay down on the couch in her room. "Well, we have a long day ahead of us Mid. better get some sleep before the camaraderie's arrive." Midii laughed. In the past few years, she had seen a change from the 14- year-old girl who was always hell-bent on fighting, considered herself to be a fighter with no gender and always wanted her way with EVERYTHING! It infuriated Midii to no end while Merian was recovering from a broken arm, smashed knee and concussion. [2] Well, now Merian Chang was a new. erm. adolescent woman. She no longer griped about weaker people. well maybe occasionally, but she knew now that she was free to do as she pleased as long as it wasn't getting anyone's way. "Well, night Meri, make sure those two don't give you any trouble. we need your wits with us tomorrow." Merian smiled as she saw her first true female friend open a loose bit of wall and walk into the dark passage beyond. After sighing, Merian turned to see the twins sleeping heavily in their makeshift basinets. plastic laundry baskets padded with sheets and pillows for mattresses. "Night little-ones. Tomorrow, you'll see your mum and dad again."
Wufei looked like he had seen a ghost. literally. And it wasn't just one. Treize Khushrenada and Zechs Merquise were talking to all the gundams, Relena and Noin over the comm-links. "Marimeya has planned the attack for tonight," said Relena "We have about two hours before the planned attack." Trowa explained "Our best bet is to wait for the attack to start," Quatre said, looking at the map of the colonies and earth. Everyone agreed, and the group headed for L3. However, Wing Zero set out in another direction. towards the satellite MO-III

[1] Read sidefic "Friends for Life" to understand. (should be posted by the time this chapter is posted, if not. well, I'm trying. I have too much homework, rehearsals for a musical, band and flute lessons!!) that also applies to "The fall of the Sanq Kingdom". . *mumbles about slave-driving teachers, demon flute teachers, horrible band conductors and loud choir teachers*
[2] Read sidefic "A Friend in Enemy Territory". Merian's story after escaping from her alleged death by MS.
Ahem, as I said before. I just LOVE bringing people back from the dead *is shown with a book under her arm. "Egyptian Revival Spells and Enchantments"* Now who next.
Well in other news: I've began to plan for the next four parts after this story. however. I won't be near a computer all Easter holidays. I'm going back home for two weeks. :-( Well, it's not that bad. I just suffer from computer withdrawrals. I've planned to have. erm. one more chapter to Prelude and then I go onto "Eve of Destruction". *jumps around like a crazed kangaroo on coffee* Well. That's it. Also don't forget to visit my website. I've only just began and there isn't much there, so don't flame. (Maybe I'll get off my lazy butt and start writing those Cardcaptor and Evangelion fics. ahhgg!!!) ted BEFORE I knew about Gundam Wing, but when Bubblegum Crisis, Pokemon, Digimon, Dragonball Z and Evangelion were the only 5 anime I knew about (partly cuz that was all the anime they showed on free-to-air TV until Zoids and Cardcaptors came along and my parents decided to get Pay-TV for a year.)
