"Hello, this is Robert Arnold of ROTM news. (I'm a Sailor moon freak. So it stands for rabbit of the moon ^_^) Today's top story is Relena Peacecraft, but more known as Vice Foreign Minister Darlian and former Queen of the World. Relena Darlian has been reported missing for the last 10 months. New questions are being answered with the young politicians disappearance, and possible murder. Besides her politically life, questions have also emerged about her personal life. What was really going on behind the politics with this young proclaimor of peace? A mysterious relationship with a gundam pilot? We'll tell all, next, on Relena Peacecraft: Behind the Peacecraft name."
Duo hadn't heard the TV across the street, he was to busy listening to his growling stomach.
"I think we should get pizza", said Duo.
"But didn't you promise me we'd go see a movie?" Hilde asked smiling.
"Oh, but I want pizza! Plus all you ever want to see are sappy movies, not that I have a problem with that!" he tried to recover from the statement. But she wasn't paying attention her eyes were focused someplace else.
"My god Duo, when will it stop?"
Mobile suits filled the sky and some started to attack randomly. Colony L1 shook fiercely as people screamed to get to safety. Duo covered Hilde's head and looked, as the colony was slowly shaking apart.
"I'm so tired of this", Duo remarked. "Everything we do, it's for nothing!"
"Duo!" Hilde yelled as he began to get up. "What are you doing? We have to get to a shelter!"
Duo blinked as he realized that he was standing through the attack and was staring at the mobile suits. I forgot, I don't have my buddy with me anymore. Duo swore under his breath and ran along side Hilde to safety.

A the local colony circus…
Trowa had just landed on the high wire and caught Catherine when explosions had been heard outside. People had scurried out for their lives. Trowa jumped from the wire and landed swiftly on the ground and set Catherine down.
"What's going on Trowa?" Catherine asked as she clasped her hands together.
"I'm not sure", he told her. "Get to a safe place Catherine. I'll be back."
"Trowa?"
"Take care of this for me." He gave her his clown mask and before she could even look up he was gone."
"Oh Trowa." She whispered in to the wind.

On Earth at Preventer headquarters..
Wufei and Sally were in Africa looking up any new possible threats to peace. They had received a few anonymous calls warning them of a factory manufacturing mobile suits. But to no avail. They hadn't sited anything and had the basic perimeter on constant surveillance. A loud beeping noise came from the phone in the car. Sally put down her binoculars to answer the call. It was Noin.
"Why hello there, why do I get the honor of this call Noin?" said Sally sitting back in her car seat.
"Ms. Une just called me a moment ago, it seems that the rumors are true!"
"What rumors?" asked Wufei.
"Someone is trying to establish a new rule. There's a battle being fought as we speak."
"Not again," Whispered Sally.

At the Winners mansion the news was spreading fast.
"Master Quatre! Master Quatre quick!" Rashid came running up to Quatre.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Quatre stood up from his desk filled with political documents. Rashid turned the television on.
"Reports are in. An attack has been made on Colony L1. People are to remain calm and proceed to the nearest shelter as soon as poss-"
Quatre turned the TV off a frown on his troubled face.
"This is horrible", he whispered to himself.

On colony L1, Heero had well noticed the attacks being made. A life of peace had been interrupted yet again; his peace had been interrupted. It was time to leave yet again. After all this time of solitude he was going to need some help. He was going to need another way to fight. Heero was finally awakening from his life of sorrow. After all, what else was there to live for if he couldn't do anything to protect the girl he knew as the angel of peace? He remembered the small girl, Marimeai's, words…History is much like an Endless Waltz. The three beats of war peace and revolution continue on forever…The waltz was continuing on again. Somehow even in the chaos of the situation he found himself looking toward the sky for hope and uttered one name,
"Relena." A girl he had long since given up hope for. A woman that was surely dead.
*****
At a secret base located in Australia…
"Good, very good. Especially you Aya." The old man smiled.
Three girls walked toward him after stepping out of their gundams. A girl with long honey blond hair and blue eyes walked toward him after jumping down from her white and dark blue gundam. A girl with short dark brown hair and brown eyes followed. Her gundam was a deep maroon and black. The last girl had light brown hair and brilliant bright green eyes. She skipped along slowly after stepping out of her forest green gundam. The blue eyed girl regarded the old man.
"Thank you Professor."
"Yeah Aya, you so kick ass!" Said the brown-eyed girl,Yuka.
" We know Aya can do it!" teased the other girl, Nani.
Aya smiled at them, her two allies. When she first came to the compound she hadn't know any one. Actually she hadn't remembered anyone or anything. The Professor, X, had taken good care of her and assured her that she would have died with out his assistance. He told Aya that she was found deserted and alone wondering the streets after suffering a severe head blow from a riot that had been taking place at the governor's office. She was all alone and had no known relatives and Professor X had taken her in. Aya had been staying with them almost ten months now. She was grateful to serve him. She had been training to fight in the up coming war, the war like no other. The war against the Cobra.
"Come on girls, lets hit the showers! I don't know about you but I can smell myself!" Yuka laughed her way down the hall as Nani followed.
"Aya, its time for your dosage." Said the Professor.
Aya followed him to the hospital wing and waited on the patients' table. The Professor turned around and held a needle with blue elixir in it and squeezed it so all the air was out.
"Aren't you excited." He said. "You only have a few more dosages left before you don't need any more." Aya had been suffering from severe head pain from her accident two years ago and the medication was to ease the pain.
"Yes, I am." She nodded.
"Excuse me! Hello, I am the official doctor here!" exclaimed a woman with bright red hair and deep green - blue eyes.
"Relax Clare, I think I know how to use a needle."
"Oh give me that!" Clare said and took the needle and wiped and antibiotic on Aya's arm. "I bet you would have poked ten holes in her arm before you found a vein."
Aya suppressed the urge to show her amusement at the astounded professor while Clare inserted the needle into her arm.
"All done," said Clare after putting the needle in a machine for sterilization.
Nodding, Aya walked out and proceeded to her room.
She stopped at the mobile suit hanger and looked at her gundam. Aya felt the need to speak a name but as soon as the name was about to be spoken the name left her lips and her memory. Her head started ringing with discomfort and she was silently grateful that she would no longer have these weird flashes of red and pain in her head any more. Her hands raised to touch the black jewel around her choker. Soon she would be able to live her life without the forgotten memory of a name.
A red siren started to sound people and Aya ran toward her gundam. Time for another quick battle with the Cobra.
******
"Mr. Miliardo." An officer called his commander.
"Yes"? He responded.
"The battle was successful. All mobile suits are destroyed."
"But only because of these strange gundams. We could not have won that battle with the few mobile suits we have made in the past year."
"Sir? Are you all right".
"Fine, lets leave these gundams be. We'll meet these new pilots soon enough. I know it. " Relena, come back and reclaim your title even if you must come back from the land of the dead. A man this is supposed to be dead is not fit to lead this peace that you have made.
*******
Aya walked throughout the corridors alone that night. The Cobra had been defeated easily and that thought caused her to think. She wasn't supposed to be thinking about this, after all Professor X told her when it was necessary to think. Yet, more mobile suits were being built at her compound. Some were just prototypes and others were simple models, but there were five that matched her own. She stared at them wondering whom they could possibly be for. Was the Professor angry with her? Had he found another pilot to take her place? Perhaps he knew she was thinking about things other than her orders. No, she didn't want to think such thoughts about the Professor and his assistant Clare. They had done nothing but care for her. Still Aya wondered. Since these pains in her head were slowly being treated and lifted away, there were small pains in her heart that felt like empty holes. She slowed to a stop outside of the laboratory.
The light was on.
Noises were coming from computer and the door was slowly ajar. There was a sound of a muffled voice coming from…
"I told you!" someone yelled, it was the professor. "You can't have her yet! Her treatment isn't over! The microchips we planted aren't scheduled to be fully operational until her medication and training are up to a standard level. Yes, but the necklace only temporarily holds her mind at the moment." There was a slight pause and then a fist banging on a table. "I said no damnit!"
Aya was staring at the door listening. Who had that been? There was an another sound after that conversation was terminated and then another began, but this time his voice was different.
"Yes, it's me. I couldn't pretend with Demone anymore he wanted the girl." Pause. " I know I've wronged her, but it had to be done. She's the best I have. The wars coming and we need an alliance. Can you contact them? Yes the others, we will need all the pilots we can get. I don't think they will approve of Aya, after all, Relena is dead. Yes, the suits are ready."
Aya ran as quietly as she could away to her room. What the hell was going on? The bastard! After all this time! She was trained to be perfect in everything she did and now her heart had grown cold and bitter over the months of being left without a true family with this ache in her breast. The searing pain came to her head once again as she searched her thoughts for answers. She didn't notice, but the jewel on her choker glowed a bright red that matched the color of a sudden flashing in her eyes.
The Professor looked as his tracking device went off, Damn, she heard me, that girl isn't done with her treatment yet! She will be the destroyer of worlds; I will make her be.
Professor X followed Aya to her room.
As the professor opened Aya's door and walked into her unlit room a sudden cry escaped his lips as the wind was knocked out of him.
"A-aya", he coughed out trying to stay standing.
"Tell me now." Her voice was earily calm.
The professor noted how the jewel at her neck glowed red and spoke calmly as not to upset her any further, "Your anger has clouded your vision."
"It is not my vision that needs correcting"; she said as her eyes narrowed. "Must I kill you?"
Professor X sighed and looked her straight in the eye. Thinking quickly he chose his words as wisely as he could and spoke them slowly and as calmly as he could.
"The war is coming-"
"Tell me something new."
"The pilots fromm the old war are coming here, the gundam pilots."
"The suits" he nodded confirming her thought, though he was wondering how much thinking she had been doing.
"You must stay away from them. They will bring nothing to you but death."
"What?"
"There was a girl Aya, Relena Darlian. They knew her." She nodded. Aya had heard of this girl who had taught her childish fantasies of complete pacifism. The girl was supposedly missing and claimed dead. So why was he speaking to her of this?
The professor looked in her eyes and spoke calmly, "You killed her."
