One of these song came out in like......anno.....1989, but the band has been around since 1972. Most of your parents should know who it is. On with the story. Oh also for those who don't know, the new Gundams are from 'G-Gundam'. Terry, I can't get a real Burning Gundam, but I can steal my brother's model tho'.
*********************************************************************
"When do we start training?" Chasity looked at the Doctors after looking over her Gundam.
"Right now." J said turning heel and walking to a training room, "Chasity will be with me, Ashleigh with G, Trinity with S, Donna with H, and Me Li with O."
The girls looked at each other, shrugged, and followed their assigned Doctor. Thus started the girls three days of long training.
* * *
"Man can I be anymore bored?" Duo sighed as he floated around the shuttle.
All the guys were on their way to the moon to meet with Howard. Apparently there was something waiting for all of them there.
"Hold on a little longer Duo. We're almost there." Quatra shook his head.
"Guys we have a problem. 5 unidentified suits are hovering over the hangar." Trowa said cautiously.
"We're on it" Duo and Wufei went to the back and got in Deathscythe Hell and Altron.
* * *
"Howard open the hangar. We're back." Me Li radioed
"And make it fast. The guys are here and I bet they think that we're the enemies." Ashleigh said anxiously as she spotted Deathscythe and Altron, "Personally I don't feel like fighting my boyfriend."
The hangar opened and the girls flew in as quickly as possible.
* * *
"What the hell?" Duo was puzzled at why Howard was letting the suits inside, "Howard open the damn hangar. I've got some questions for you!"
"Bout time you got here Duo." Howard made a visual connection.
"Who the hell are those guys?"
"You'll find out soon enough." Howard closed the connection and opened a different hangar door.
Once all the guys were in the hangar Duo started demanding answers.
"Who are those people you let in Howard? Can you trust them? What the hell is going on?!"
"Sorry for Duo's behavior Howard. He hasn't been too happy since his girlfriend and sister disappeared a few days ago." Quatra apologized.
"I've grown used to his rants. This is what the Doctors wanted to show you." Howard pushed a button and the 5 new Gundams came up from below.
"What kind of suits are those?" Quatra looked at them a little disturbed.
"They could surpass our Gundams." Wufei admitted.
"What crazy person would make those?" Duo growled still in a fowl mood.
"......"
"What the hell are those?" Heero looked at the suits then noticed a figure standing on a shoulder of each suit and pulled out his gun and aimed at the unknown Chasity.
Everyone else pulled theirs out too.
"Put the guns away guys. They are on our side." Howard ordered, "Girls come down."
"Onnas? The doctors gave these things to onnas?" Wufei rolled his eyes and folded his arms as Me Li jumped off of Dragon Gundam.
"Oh and they gave Gundams to you guys. Why do you feel that girls pilot these new Gundams?"
"Because all onnas are weak."
"Tsk Tsk Wufei. Have I taught you nothing? He just won't accept the fact that girls might be better at something than guys." Ashleigh said as she jumped off Shadow Gundam.
"You're were right Shadow (code name for Ashleigh), he is like you said." Trinity jumped off Scimitar and giggled.
"And to think I love the guy." Me Li shook her head.
"Who are you?" Duo asked in annoyance.
"Well I feel unloved." Ashleigh did a fake sniffle, "He doesn't remember my voice. And it's only been how many days Noble?" Ashleigh turned her head to Chasity.
"Don't ask me. Ask Mitar. She was the one with you." Chasity shrugged as she jumped down.
"3 Shadow, 3." Trinity put her hand on Ashleigh's shoulder (if she could reach up that high. ^.^).
"Stop with the code names and identify yourselves." Heero glared in Ashleigh general direction as he pointed his gun that way, safety off.
Ashleigh strolled over to him and looked into his eyes even if he couldn't see his. In a flash Heero was on the ground with the gun pointed at him.
"Some truce Heero." Ashleigh smirked as she pulled off her helmet.
"Ashleigh?! But you.....I thought.....what...." Duo stammered then looked at Trinity who also pulled her helmet, "Trinity?! Uh......huh.....um....a"
"Hi Duo." Trinity waved and smiled.
Ashleigh put the safety back on and helped Heero back up and gave his gun to him, "I was trained to do more than pilot Shadow Gundam ya know." She gave him a smile before going over to Duo.
"Okay who are you three may I ask?" Quatra looked in Donna, Chasity, and Me Li's direction.
"That's right he hasn't met us." Donna looked at Chasity.
"He's met me." Me Li pulled her helmet off.
"Uh......" Wufei was both shocked and at a loose of words.
"Nice to see you again you Me Li." Quatra nodded his head in her direction.
"You too Quatra." Me Li bowed at him.
"Kat this is Chasity and Donna. They are the ones that came through the ceiling while you and Trowa were gone." Ashleigh introduced as They pulled their helmets off also, "Donna, Chasity, this is Quatra Winner and Trowa Barton."
"Oh so he's the one that went into Zero mode in one of those books you gave me." Donna smiled at Quatra who looked at his feet in embarrassment then she looked at Trowa who was being silent, "Does his hair naturally defy the laws of gravity or does he use a lot of hair gel?"
Everyone facevulted except for Donna and Trowa. Trowa looked at her with an arched eyebrow. They just stood there staring at each other for a few moments while everyone stood up.
"Oh. Sorry Trowa." Donna apologized and giggled.
Heero, Duo, Quatra, Wufei, and Howard looked at Trowa dumbfounded before Duo finally spoke up.
"Did he just say what I think he did?" He looked to Quatra.
"I think he did."
"Say what?" Me Li, Trinity, Chasity, and Ashleigh asked in unison.
"Barton just cracked a joke and she understood." Wufei looked at Donna.
"What? I understand stare. It does exist in the 21st century ya know." Donna shrugged and began to walk to her room the other girls followed her to their rooms.
"Where are you going?" Duo asked confused.
"To change. These controls aren't exactly comfortable yet ya know." Chasity answered as they exited.
"What are they talking about?" Wufei asked puzzled.
"The suits the are wearing are the controls to the Gundam. Whatever the girls do when they are on the Gundam does. These are new types of Gundams called Fighter Gundams. They are good for close combat. That one is Noble Gundam, Shadow Gundam, Gundam Scimitar, Mummy Gundam, and Dragon Gundam. When you saw them earlier they had just returned from a mission." Howard explained
"3 days and they already have missions? Man it took me at least 5-6 yrs." Duo said unbelievingly.
"Let me guess it was a little Mobil doll carrier." Wufei chuckled.
"Actually they took on 1,000 MS-"
"Come on. We could take that."
"Each. 1,000 suits each and as you can see there is not one scratch on any of the Gundams." Howard finished after being interrupted, "These girls are the best thing since all of you. They could easily match you even though they believe that they don't stand a chance against any of you."
Howard explained everything that had happened over the course of the days. About 45 mins after they girls had exited the guys began to wonder.
"Does it really take this long just to get out of a body suit?" Duo complained.
Just then you could hear music coming from the living area (if you want to call it that).
"Oh no. They're at it again." Howard shook his head and walked to the place the girls were.
"What do you mean?"
"They are playing that blasted music from the 20th century that they call Rock, R&B, and Techno. Why couldn't Ashleigh have more of a variety?" Howard complained.
"Hey if you can grow used to my rants I bet you could get used to this. Besides I like it." Duo smirked as he ran ahead of Howard.
The guys shook their heads and followed Duo and Howard.
**********************************************************************
K people. Another chapter down. Ya know what. I have so many ideas for sequels it's not funny. So till the end of story i'm going to put little teasers of each sequel that I think might work and let everyone chose what they would like. I might write all of them. I don't know, but I just need to get ideas out of my head and I can only do so much. I think i'll start right now so here is a teaser.
It is called "They Don't Know It's Her".
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A knock came rapidly to Duo's front door followed by a ringing of the doorbell. Duo stumbled out of bed as he tried to find a way to his bedroom door. He pushed his bangs out of his eyes and went downstairs. He looked at a nearby clock. It read 2:26am.
'Who would be coming to the door at this hour?' He questioned as he pulled the shirt he had grabbed over his head before opening the door.
There stood someone holding a child tightly to their chest to try to keep the cold out.
"Yes?" He asked with a little annoyance.
"Duo I...." The figure started sobbing as she pulled her hood off of her head.
"God Lennet what are you doing here? Come in." He moved aside and let the two people in as she moved inside he could the faint sobbing of the child that was held in her arms.
When Duo turned on the entree way light he could see a light bruise forming on Lennet's face. Duo looked at her in horror before taking the little girl that she held in her arms so she could take off her coat.
Duo saw her to the living room and when she sat she took the little girl in her arms once again.
"What happened Lennet?" Duo asked with encouragement in his voice.
"David, he got drunk again and blamed me for something that happened to his girlfriend 15yrs ago then struck me." She put her face into the girls hair, "I managed to get away and went to Kira's room and got her ready to leave. I waited till he had passed out and left. I came here cause I couldn't think of anyone else to go to." Lennet started to cry.
Duo took her chin and tilted it to the side to look at the bruise that was forming before getting up, "I'll be right back." He said gently as he walked to the kitchen.
When he walked into the kitchen he walked back to his office and sat in his chair before dialing Wufei's number. It rang several times before he picked up.
"Hello?...." He said groggily.
"Wufei I need you to do something for me." Duo stated in a rather angry voice.
"Couldn't have waited till morning Duo?"
"No. One of my friends just came over cause she had been beaten by her boyfriend. She and her daughter are terrified beyond belief Wufei. I need you to do something about it. I would myself, but I dare not leave her in the condition she is in now."
"What do you want me to do Duo? Go beat the crap out of him?"
"If possible yes. You know how I feel about guys mistreating women. I just want you or someone to make sure that he is locked up."
"Who is this guy?"
"You remember back during the war when Ashleigh dragged us to that club?"
"Yea."
"Do you remember the asshole David Maxwell?" Duo got a look of disgust on his face.
"Him? He's still alive? I though he died of alcohol poisoning about a month ago. I'll try my hardest to see that guy put away Duo. Good-bye."
"See ya."
Duo hung up the phone and put his hands on his face before he looked at his desk.
'Why would he blame Lennet for killing Leaha? That was way back during the war. He must have been drunk. Man I nee to talk to someone, but after I see that those two are asleep.' Duo stood up from his desk and walked back into the kitchen, got some ice before going back out into the living room.
"Here put this on your cheek." He told her as he handed her the bag.
Lennet put the now sleeping child down on the couch and took the bag.
"She looks nothing like him." Duo said as he looked at the little girl.
"Like who?"
"David. She looks nothing like him."
"You've meet him?" Lennet looked at Duo there was still a shakiness in her voice.
"I met him when I was 15. We were at a dance club and he had tried to get my girlfriend to be his dance partner by forcing her. My friends and I tried to ward him off, but that didn't seem to work. She did agree to go with him as long as he didn't tough her anywhere. He ended up getting his ass kicked. His dance partner was about the smuttiest person you could ever meet. She pushed my girlfriend's patience to the limit. She ended up getting her ass kicked also. David just has a bad reputation with women. I'm surprised that you have stayed with him this long."
"Is that her? Your girlfriend?" Lennet looked at the family portrait that was hanging over the fireplace.
"Actually in that picture she is my wife. About 5yrs ago she died in a terrorist attack. That was the last picture we took together. A few days after the attack I found out from one of the family friends that she was pregnant again. Ashleigh was waiting to tell me on my birthday which was a week later."
"Dad?" Taylor stood at the bottom of the stairs and saw the light on in the living room. He walked over to the door and stuck his head in, "Dad? Who was at the door?"
"What are you doing up Taylor?" Wave him in so he wouldn't have to stand there, "Lennet this is my son, Taylor. Taylor this is my friend Lennet."
"Nice to meet you Taylor." Lennet shook the teens hand.
"Like wise. Dad can I talk to you really fast?" Taylor said polity before turning to his father.
Duo got up and they walked to the kitchen.
"What do you need to ask me that it's so important to do in the middle of the night?" Duo folded his arms over his chest and looked at his son that was a titch shorter than him.
"I got a sudden rush of familarment form her. Like I knew her from somewhere, but i'm not sure. I just feel like i'm connected to her some how." Taylor sat in one the kitchen chairs, "Plus her voice and eyes are familiar."
"What are you suggesting? That she is your mother?" Duo shook his head at the thought.
"Maybe. You said that when mom died she was pregnant right?" Taylor continued after Duo nodded his head, "Well that little girl looks around the age that the child would have been and Lennet has the same blue-gray eyes as mom."
"Anyone can have that color of eyes. Ian has the same color."
"Yea, but they were related Dad. I noticed something about that little girl she has your hair. You know just as well as I do that the color of chestnut that you, Trista, Aunt Trinity, and that little girl has is not very common. It's a rare sight to see that color any more. If Lennet is not Mom than why does she have that scar on her left arm. Mom had the exact same one, exact same shape, size and place as her."
"Her boyfriend beats her Taylor. I'm willing to bet that she has a lot more scars than you got from when you were little. For all we know-"
"For all we know she could be Mom. I know you have given up on finding her Dad, but I know she is alive. I'm going to find her even if you have given up hope. I don't give up as easy as you do Dad."
"You saw that plane blow up Taylor. How can you say that she isn't dead? Ashleigh died 5 yrs ago Taylor. If she were alive she would have came back. Ashleigh made a promise to you and she is not known to break them."
"I don't care what you say Dad. Once I have my mind set on something I go with it till the bitter end. I can't believe you used to be a Gundam pilot." With that said Taylor left the kitchen.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Oh no. They're at it again." Howard shook his head and walked to the place the girls were.
"What do you mean?"
"They are playing that blasted music from the 20th century that they call Rock, R&B, and Techno. Why couldn't Ashleigh have more of a variety?" Howard complained.
"Hey if you can grow used to my rants I bet you could get used to this. Besides I like it." Duo smirked as he ran ahead of Howard.
The guys shook their heads and followed Duo and Howard.

K people. Another chapter down. Ya know what. I have so many ideas for sequels it's not funny. So till the end of story i'm going to put little teasers of each sequel that I think might work and let everyone chose what they would like. I might write all of them. I don't know, but I just need to get ideas out of my head and I can only do so much. I think i'll start right now so here is a teaser.
It is called "They Don't Know It's Her".
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A knock came rapidly to Duo's front door followed by a ringing of the doorbell. Duo stumbled out of bed as he tried to find a way to his bedroom door. He pushed his bangs out of his eyes and went downstairs. He looked at a nearby clock. It read 2:26am.
'Who would be coming to the door at this hour?' He questioned as he pulled the shirt he had grabbed over his head before opening the door.
There stood someone holding a child tightly to their chest to try to keep the cold out.
"Yes?" He asked with a little annoyance.
"Duo I...." The figure started sobbing as she pulled her hood off of her head.
"God Lennet what are you doing here? Come in." He moved aside and let the two people in as she moved inside he could the faint sobbing of the child that was held in her arms.
When Duo turned on the entree way light he could see a light bruise forming on Lennet's face. Duo looked at her in horror before taking the little girl that she held in her arms so she could take off her coat.
Duo saw her to the living room and when she sat she took the little girl in her arms once again.
"What happened Lennet?" Duo asked with encouragement in his voice.
"David, he got drunk again and blamed me for something that happened to his girlfriend 15yrs ago then struck me." She put her face into the girls hair, "I managed to get away and went to Kira's room and got her ready to leave. I waited till he had passed out and left. I came here cause I couldn't think of anyone else to go to." Lennet started to cry.
Duo took her chin and tilted it to the side to look at the bruise that was forming before getting up, "I'll be right back." He said gently as he walked to the kitchen.
When he walked into the kitchen he walked back to his office and sat in his chair before dialing Wufei's number. It rang several times before he picked up.
"Hello?...." He said groggily.
"Wufei I need you to do something for me." Duo stated in a rather angry voice.
"Couldn't have waited till morning Duo?"
"No. One of my friends just came over cause she had been beaten by her boyfriend. She and her daughter are terrified beyond belief Wufei. I need you to do something about it. I would myself, but I dare not leave her in the condition she is in now."
"What do you want me to do Duo? Go beat the crap out of him?"
"If possible yes. You know how I feel about guys mistreating women. I just want you or someone to make sure that he is locked up."
"Who is this guy?"
"You remember back during the war when Ashleigh dragged us to that club?"
"Yea."
"Do you remember the asshole David Maxwell?" Duo got a look of disgust on his face.
"Him? He's still alive? I though he died of alcohol poisoning about a month ago. I'll try my hardest to see that guy put away Duo. Good-bye."
"See ya."
Duo hung up the phone and put his hands on his face before he looked at his desk.
'Why would he blame Lennet for killing Leaha? That was way back during the war. He must have been drunk. Man I nee to talk to someone, but after I see that those two are asleep.' Duo stood up from his desk and walked back into the kitchen, got some ice before going back out into the living room.
"Here put this on your cheek." He told her as he handed her the bag.
Lennet put the now sleeping child down on the couch and took the bag.
"She looks nothing like him." Duo said as he looked at the little girl.
"Like who?"
"David. She looks nothing like him."
"You've meet him?" Lennet looked at Duo there was still a shakiness in her voice.
"I met him when I was 15. We were at a dance club and he had tried to get my girlfriend to be his dance partner by forcing her. My friends and I tried to ward him off, but that didn't seem to work. She did agree to go with him as long as he didn't tough her anywhere. He ended up getting his ass kicked. His dance partner was about the smuttiest person you could ever meet. She pushed my girlfriend's patience to the limit. She ended up getting her ass kicked also. David just has a bad reputation with women. I'm surprised that you have stayed with him this long."
"Is that her? Your girlfriend?" Lennet looked at the family portrait that was hanging over the fireplace.
"Actually in that picture she is my wife. About 5yrs ago she died in a terrorist attack. That was the last picture we took together. A few days after the attack I found out from one of the family friends that she was pregnant again. Ashleigh was waiting to tell me on my birthday which was a week later."
"Dad?" Taylor stood at the bottom of the stairs and saw the light on in the living room. He walked over to the door and stuck his head in, "Dad? Who was at the door?"
"What are you doing up Taylor?" Wave him in so he wouldn't have to stand there, "Lennet this is my son, Taylor. Taylor this is my friend Lennet."
"Nice to meet you Taylor." Lennet shook the teens hand.
"Like wise. Dad can I talk to you really fast?" Taylor said polity before turning to his father.
Duo got up and they walked to the kitchen.
"What do you need to ask me that it's so important to do in the middle of the night?" Duo folded his arms over his chest and looked at his son that was a titch shorter than him.
"I got a sudden rush of familarment form her. Like I knew her from somewhere, but i'm not sure. I just feel like i'm connected to her some how." Taylor sat in one the kitchen chairs, "Plus her voice and eyes are familiar."
"What are you suggesting? That she is your mother?" Duo shook his head at the thought.
"Maybe. You said that when mom died she was pregnant right?" Taylor continued after Duo nodded his head, "Well that little girl looks around the age that the child would have been and Lennet has the same blue-gray eyes as mom."
"Anyone can have that color of eyes. Ian has the same color."
"Yea, but they were related Dad. I noticed something about that little girl she has your hair. You know just as well as I do that the color of chestnut that you, Trista, Aunt Trinity, and that little girl has is not very common. It's a rare sight to see that color any more. If Lennet is not Mom than why does she have that scar on her left arm. Mom had the exact same one, exact same shape, size and place as her."
"Her boyfriend beats her Taylor. I'm willing to bet that she has a lot more scars than you got from when you were little. For all we know-"
"For all we know she could be Mom. I know you have given up on finding her Dad, but I know she is alive. I'm going to find her even if you have given up hope. I don't give up as easy as you do Dad."
"You saw that plane blow up Taylor. How can you say that she isn't dead? Ashleigh died 5 yrs ago Taylor. If she were alive she would have came back. Ashleigh made a promise to you and she is not known to break them."
"I don't care what you say Dad. Once I have my mind set on something I go with it till the bitter end. I can't believe you used to be a Gundam pilot." With that said Taylor left the kitchen.
