Thank you all for reviewing this fic so far. I'm going to introduce some of the SM girls in this chap. I already have in mind the couplings which will develop over the course of the next few chapters but if you guys have an opinion of it, pls feel free to leave your comments. Also, sorry I'm late with this chapter because of the blackout and all that. Anyways, pls read my SM/GW/YGO fic, 'Curse in the Heart of the Cards', I updated that first. Also, I'm developing the next chap for my SM/Lotr fic 'Truly Belong', so look for that in the future.

Here's chap 2, enjoy!

Chapter 2

She kept running, always on the run. She had been taught all her life to survive and if she can survive by running, then so be it. There was a time when things were different that the world had its heros who were willing to for the survival. There was a time when one could walk the streets without fear of being capture. There was a time when people especially young girls need not worry about the war for it did not affect them at such an impressive scale. That time was the past and she certainly had no recollection for it was before she was even born.

She darted into an alleyway to catch her breath, feeling the adrenaline coursing through her veins. She was good at surviving since now certainly was not the time to fight. It would be suicidal and hopeless but she knew that in time an ultimate sacrifice had to be made in order for peace to be restored into the hearts of the people. Now was not that time.

Suddenly, she heard a familiar mechanical sound, the sound of metal making contact with fallen debris on the ground. Instincts took over as she clutched her gun that was strapped around her belt. She charged her weapon which was a miniature saber beam, very rare but she had in her possession not one but two. Anticipating her enemy, she took aim. Then, another mechanical sound came from her left. She snapped out her other light saber gun from her holster. With one in each hand, she spread out her arms and fired at her left. Two shots made their lethal marks. With swift precision, she snapped around and shot the enemy to the right. Two simultaneous explosions ignited in the dim alleyway. She kicked at the machine that she had shot, as expected the pilot was a woman with a small chip implanted on left temple, obviously dead.

There was a whirlwind near the side of an abandoned shuttle bay. Purple streaks emitted from mid air as three figure fell onto the ground with a thud. One was blond, the other wore a priest-like outfit and the last was clearly of Chinese origins.

"Maxwell, get off."

"Ouch Wufei, I think I'm stuck."

"Are you guys, alright?"

Quatre which fell a little distance from the other two, got up from the platform that he landed on. He stood up gingerly and noted that he no physical injuries, just a little sore. He retrieved his pack that was close by and walked towards his comrades. They were a heap on the ground with Wufei on his back and Duo on top along with their respective packs. Quatre could not help chuckling at the site but he did not want to risk feeling their wraths so he helped them up. They had no injuries, just sore. As they put on their packs, Duo was first to point out, "Where's Heero? And Trowa?"

There was no sign of their fellow pilots and Duo was about to call out their names when Wufei covered his mouth. "Are you crazy, Maxwell? We have no idea who's around here, no need for unwanted trouble."

"Wufei is right, Duo. Besides, both Trowa and Heero could take care of themselves."

"So, now what," asked the American.

"Well, lets get our bearings first, but we have to be careful since we don't want any unnecessary attention."

With Quatre being the unofficial leader, the three continued on with their guns drawn except for Wufei who clutched his kantana. Quatre led the way, followed by Duo and then Wufei. They stepped onto the streets. The sits that met them was not be reckoned with. Everywhere were indications of destruction, fallen debris, relics of what once stood. There was some lights from the street lamps and the moonlight glowed slightly pink and yellow. The few buildings left standing had no light emitting from them, no signs of life. No person walked about and the sounds were of distant explosions and mechanical clicking noise. At that moment, the mechanical sound seemed closer and they realized that one was coming to their left.

They found themselves face to face with a form of mecha suit. It resembled the Aries suit but it was the size of an average human size and much effective in its manoeuvers . It carries a fire arm of sorts. "You don't belong here. It is past curfew," it said, the voice was female.

"Oh I'm sorry, I think if forgot my watch at home," said Duo.

"Besides, we don't take orders from a woman," defied Wufei.

The mecha raised its weapon to fire, but both Duo and Quatre pulled the triggers first. Wufei sneaked behind and sliced the legs off of the machine. As it fell, the head cover fell off to reveal a woman with a chip of some sort implanted on her left temple. Without checking for a pulse, it was clear from her dilated pupils that she was dead.

It was a different extreme for the pilots who were accustomed to killing the enemy, most of the time, it was Mobile Dolls with no life inside. Often, they had no personal contact with those they killed for the sake of the war but for them to gaze upon the face of a woman, well, some adjustments had to be made. 'What happened to their world?'

"Impressive, but you boys draw too much attention to yourselves," said a voice form the shadows.

Wufei, hearing the feminine remark said, "Perhaps, you are too weak to fight yourselves."

"Weak?" said another, "well, lets see if you strong man can catch us then," the woman declared sarcastically.

There came a noise above them, the three saw two figures starring down towards them from the roof of the building. The shadows hid their faces. Wufei did not hesitate and both Quatre and Duo did not have a choice but to follow.

They ran after the two strangers. The girls were well trained to give the three professional Gundam pilots such a chase. They jumped across buildings, slide down stairs, darted alleyways. At times, the three felt that they had los the trail until some teasing giggle was heard. The three teens found themselves at the pier. Duo remembered this was the place where first encountered Pilot 01. The three comrades continued cautiously, pulling over the fence that barricaded the facilities. There was hardly any light expect for one or two dim lights overhead as they walked. They realized that they wee in some sort of a tunnel.

As they entered a room, they heard a voice, different from the previous two. "You are well trained in order to follow my girls here. That must be quite a task."

"Actually, they got it easy," said the same voice which had challenged them earlier.

A spotlight shone above the pilots and immediately guns were aimed. On upwards, another in front where the voices were, and the other in the direction in which they came in from. "Your weapons are no use here," said the first voice. The speaker stepped into the light and the three were shocked for it was none other than ...

In another part of the city, purple rays shot from between two pillars, remains of some former statues of official delegates. One clearly said, "Vice-", but the rest laid buried among the debris. Another was engraved with "Peacecraft" and the rest of the token of recognition was destroyed. There was a series of shootings as two figures emerged from the purple array of light. One emerald eye and a pair of prussian blues ones starred in disbelief of the total destruction of the world that they scarcely recognized.

Sounds of gunfire and explosions, along with a series of mechanical clanking drew their attentions. Guns drawn, they were surprised to find a woman battling a group of mecha suits. Vaguely similar to the Aries suits, they could not comprehend why these suits were used to fight people on land. The woman was more like a teenager and abut the same height as Trowa and she was doing hand to hand combat with the suits. She used their bulkness as shields and slamming them together while at the same time, shot the ones who got too close. The two Gundam Pilots did not think but begin to shoot the ones coming their way.

Wiping the small unit of mechas proved easier with three people and the girl was doing just fine as she threw the last one to the ground. She finally acknowledged the two newcomers but her chocolate coloured eyes narrowed at them as she draw her firearm at them. She even loaded with swiftness and expertise in front of them.

"Who are you?" she demanded. Her voice insisted on total cooperation or else.

Before they could answer, her eyes changed to shock then recognition, as she threw herself at them with arms outstretched, knocking them both to the ground. A shot resulted, along with a grunt. A huge explosion was the only clue of where the mecha suit once stood. Heero and Trowa realized that this girl had saved their lives but they wondered about the explosions. They caught a glimpse of a figure in a window overlooking the scene where they were. However, it was just a mere moment so they doubt what they had seen. Heero and Trowa shared a look, knowing the other had seen the same thing. The girl followed their gaze but rather than commenting, she pulled out her gun once more and she demanded, "Once again, who are you?"

Trowa held up his arms in defence and disarmed himself but putting his gun into its holster and said, "You save our lives. We have no wish to harm you."

He then noticed that the girl was limping slightly, probably took a sprain when she pushed them down. "I am Trowa Barton. I told you my name, will you tell me yours?"

"My name is no business of yours, Trowa Barton." Wit that, she took off in the opposite direction. Though she was injured, she was still surprisingly fast.

"That was not wise, Trowa, telling that girl your name."

"I trust her somehow and besides she did save our lives."

"Lets just follow her."

The three pilots starred at the familiar face in front of them. The woman was about to speak again when a guy dressed in some sort of black and gray outfit burst in and said, "Zeus is back and I think is injured."

The woman then said, "Arias (pronounced array-as) and Shamia (pronounded shom-me-a), go see if Zeus' all right."

Arias and Shamia need not go far as Zeus limply trudge in with a gun in her hand. The three pilots realized that Zeus was really a girl. Wufei crossed his arms and muttered, "Weak woman."

He was met with three barrels of guns and Zeus defiantly countered, "I have you know that I merely sprained my ankle saving the lives of boys like you."

"Oh, who might that be?"

"Us," said a voice in the doorway.

It was not hard for Trowa and Heero to follow Zeus' trail. However, for the third time, they found themselves quite familiar with her gun. They realized that this was how Duo must feel every time he came face to face with Heero's gun.

"Trowa Barton," said Zeus.

A nod from Trowa and a gasp escaped. Arias, Shamia and Zeus turned toward the origin of the gasp. The woman snapped her fingers, as more flourescent lights came on to illuminate the room. The five pilots realized that the voice was Mariemaia Krushenada.

End of chapter 2

I was going to extend this chapter a little bit more but then I realized that I revealed a lot in this chapter already. Hopefully, you can figure who Arias, Shamia and Zeus are but if not, look for them in the next chapter. Now keep in mind of the woman that I introduced in the prologue and in the mysterious figure with the two light saber guns in this one as well as the woman that Trowa and Heero saw. Anyways, r/r and let me know what you think. pls feel free to leave comments and questions. Until later, much love and peace!!
