3 Hours later.

"Hey! What ya guys looking for?" Hex asked as he bounced into the room.

"Who are you and what have you done to Quatre?" Heero demanded.

"I'm Hex and nothing. Why?'

"He's missing and there is something in your room."

"Let me see." Hex turned and pushed past 4 angry young men. Turning to face the wall he saw the telltale shimmer of the gate.

"AWWWWWWWWWW SHIT. Shinigami's gonna be upset. Oh, man. Come in, let's go get him."

"What is that?" Trowa asked quietly.

"Well time for me to come clean. I'm called Hex but my name is Shi no Musuko. Shinigami is my father. I'm an avatar. So are all of you. Heero, you are Wing Low's avatar. Duo, you are Shinigami's. Trowa, Heavyarms is your god. Quatre's is Sandrock, I love that Djinn. And Wufei, you are Shenlong's. I was sent to watch over you. Soon, each of you will manifest your god. There are other avatars. Trieze, Zechs, Une, Noin, Noventa. They are all avatars. You just didn't know it. But you are. Quatre walked out of this world and into the realm of the Powers. I thought I closed the door down. I didn't. Please, come. We will get him. Just walk through."

Trowa looked at Hex for a while. "What do you really look like?"

"I'll show you." The 'Hex' form melted away and there stood Shi no Musuko. "Though I am an avatar Shinigami couldn't give me all this power if I was alive so I passed through Death without dying. My age is frozen but since I am a shapeshifter I can appear to age."

Trowa nodded and then walked through the gray door.

The other 3 boys followed soon after.

They appeared in a small room. It had a futon, a desk, a table, a few bookshelves and there were rugs all over the room.

"Welcome to my home. Come on, he's probably with Shinigami." Keeping the Shi no Musuko form, he walked out into another room. Quatre was sitting at a table with a young man that looked like Duo; in fact he looked more like Duo than Duo did, if that was possible. "Shini. Here's the rest of the pilots."

"Welcome, please talk to Quatre for a minute, I have need to talk to Hex."

"Heh heh. Now?"

"YES."

Shinigami and Shi went off to talk while the boys visited with Quatre.

* * *

"Quatre? Are you all right?"

"Yes, Heero, sorry to worr everyone but everything is ok. Shinigami has some people for us to meet. He's been ever so nice. He explained how I got here and asked me to wait 'til Hex showed up? Where is Hex?"

"That boy is Hex." Trowa said

"But he's only ten, Trowa."

"Actually, Quatre, I'm eight years old. I'm big for my age. Hey. So look, here." He handed each one of them a medallion. "Use anything to draw a door, concentrate on seeing a gray curtain and then walk through it. However, make sure you have a medallion on. It will bring you to my room. Quatre…"

"It's ok. I was shocked but I'm ok now."

"Thanks. Duo, I never meant to lie to you. I needed to protect you. I want you to live. You and I are so much alike. You and I are Shinigami's avatars. I love you, Duo. Believe that?"

"Yeah, but why…"

"Would you have believed me?"

"Yes!"

"Glad to know it. This knowledge is dangerous. And forgive me if I want to keep you safe. Anyway things are proceeding. Your gods will be here soon."

"Oh. So they are gods?"

"They are Powers, many call them gods. I thought it would make it easier for you to understand if I called them gods. Here they come. Look that story I've been telling you is true. I was hoping I could use it to explain me."

On the other side of the room, four young men entered. They looked liked the pilot but more like the pilots than the pilots did.

"You notice they look a lot like you. Well of course they do. You are their avatars. You look like them. You are copies, if I may say, of them. Now why the hell don't I look like Shinigami and Duo? Simple, I was meant to be Wing Low's avatar. The changes in me made me more their child. So I'm a mix of them. In other words, If Heero and Duo ever have a kid. They might look like me.

"Now you all know each other. Well guess what? There are four more Powers you really should meet, after all they helped me be me and I'm still 06." With that, Shi gestured to the door. In walked four young people, not much older than the boys but it was obvious that they were Zechs, Trieze, Noin, and Une.

"You got it. Zechs, Trieze, Noin, and Une are avatars and no I don't know how this whole thing got started. But here it is and now the questions. What the hell are we going to do? The avatars are fighting each other. This is not normal. So… why? Who set them up? Who is manipulating the avatars on Earth? Who is our true enemy? Will we succeed? And if we don't what will happen to the Earth?
