Heero stepped out of the Colonel's office. He was immediately greeted by Lance.
"Ahh, Heero. Just the man I needed to see. Follow me." He led him to an elevator. Lance pressed a rusty button that seemed almost that took them to the sub levels.
"I seem to do a lot of following ever since I met you." Heero remarked. He wasn't one to follow orders from a kid, but this was a boy who was the same thing that Heero used to be. "How do you expect us to fight off a space station as massive as Libra? The Gundams were destroyed two years ago."
"With those." Lance pointed out the glass window of the lift and Heero couldn't believe what he saw.
"Talgeese!" Before Heero stood a horde of proudly standing Talgeese Mobile Suits. Heero recognized the original model that Zechs Marquis used to pilot, but he believed that that was the only one.
"We have fifty five Talgeese ready for immediate deployment. These are special issue with a thirty percent increase in both firepower and defensive capabilities than the Talgeese Three. Of course we lost a little mobility, but that's the price of power." There was a certain shine in Lance's eye. He was proud to stare at the knight-like mobile suits. "Ahh, our shuttle is ready."
Heero and Lance boarded a small, rusty spacecraft. It was meant for long range travel, but it seemed to be a large drop in technology from the Talgeese from the secret hangar. As they walked through the gray interior, Lance sat Heero with his comrades, while he went to the cockpit. "Did he tell you where we're going?" Wufei asked.
"I know as much as you do about this whole war." They could feel the shuttle taking off as Heero grunted his response. He could only think about Releena and how he wouldn't be by her side for three weeks at the least. His concentration was soon broken by Lance's voice.
"It'll be a while. You may want to get some sleep. I'm gonna let the auto pilot kick in while I catch some sleep." Lance jumped on top of a bunk affixed to the wall. "Make yourselves comfortable. These are going to be the most comfortable rooms you'll get for a while."
"Oh boy.......this brings back memories." Duo threw his long pony tail back out of his face and crawled into one of the lower bunks. "Wake me when I can say "Are we there yet"."
They all crawled onto one of the cheap mattresses that reminded them that they had been civilians for way too long.
Meanwhile, aboard the completed Libra, tests are being conducted to prepare the main weapon for it's merciless slaughter. And a dark man is searching the navigational charts for information that will make the war harder for Heero to fight, without having to worry about all the matters at hand.
"So, they're moving as I thought they would......well Heero Yuy! It's time to finish what I should have finished one year ago. I should have put you to rest when I had the chance!" The man took some papers that the machine spit out. "I guess I'll take the new weapon." He left for the hangar of the Libra. When he arrived, he entered the cockpit of a large black mobile suit.
"SIR! The tests on the weapons aren't completed yet!" A mechanic yelled.
"The beam saber is working. That's all I need. Alright Epyon! Let's put your score to rest.....and mine." The Epyon came to life and flashed out of the hangar.
"Yo! Wake up! We're here!" The boys awoke to the shoves of Lance as he got them out of their surprisingly comfortable bunks. "Welcome to Mars colony one. Not many people know this place exsists." He led them out of the shuttle and into a dark colony.
"Where are we?" Asked Quatre, with a tone of slight fear in his voice.
"This is the first colony to be se up in the orbital path with Mars. It's a top secret weapons research facility. It's code named "Cosmic Angel". It was shut down two years ago when the plans for it's main weapon were stolen."
Wufei stumbled over a piece of debris when he heard the term "Main weapon". "Main weapon? Could this be....?"
"Yes. The prototype space station to experiment with the Libra Cannon." Lance continued "The plans were stolen a few hours after the weapon on this colony was finished. The weapon on board this colony is still in fact quite operational."
"Is that why we're here?" Trowa thought.
"As useful as it sounds, that's only the second reason we're here. The first reason is to retrieve something far more destructive than that." Lance grinned at the thought.
"MORE DESTRUCTIVE than Libra?!" Yelled Duo "What the hell were they working on?!"
"These." Lance opened a door and everyone gasped in amazement.
Heero's mouth opened wider than before. "It can't be......but it is!" He walked into the room as Lance hit a light switch. "It's my old partner.......................Wing Zero."
