Heart of Space, Dove of Peace

"Howard, I sure didn't expect to find you back on Earth." Duo said, riding the pulley up to the fully completed Deathscythe Hell's cockpit.
            Howard, dressed in his Hawaiian T-shirt, glasses and all, grinned from his perch on the control stand.  "Are you kidding?" he asked.  "I wouldn't miss the recommissioning of the Gundams for the world."
            "Your wonders never cease to amaze me, Howard old buddy." Duo grinned. 
            Trowa sat down in the cockpit of HeavyArms Kai. "Will we be able to defeat these new mobile suits?" he asked.
            "I don't see why not." Howard answered, adjusting his sun glasses.  "Although, we didn't have enough time to do custom refits like before, but we were able to make a sufficient amount of changes to improve your fighting capabilities. Still, don't go trying anything too fancy."
            "That sounds fair enough to me." Quatre replied through SandRock Kai's com-link.  "Let's get going."
            "Right." the others agreed as they took off.
            "Allright!" Duo cried out happily. "Shinigami and the Three Riders of Apocalypse are at it again!"
            "But, Duo…aren't there supposed to be four ridersof Apocalypse."
            "There are four, Quatre."
            "Then why would he…?"
            "That's because Maxwell's an idiot, Winner…"
            "I am not, Wu-man!"
            "Do NOT call me Wu-man!!!"
            "Be careful, guys!" Hilde called as the four Gundams disappeared out of sight.  She turned to Howard.  "If that one Scorpio Gundam was enough to defeat Heero, are the others going to be able to defeat it?"
            Howard adjusted his sun glasses again. "Hopefully." he answered.
            "Hopefully?" Hilde repeated.  "Is it that bad?  We should go help them –"
            "Don't bother… at least not yet anyway." Howard interrupted.  "Help is already on the way."

~*~*~*~*~*~

            "That's it!  That's it!" Leader laughed maniacally as the Scorpio dolls tore across the countryside en route to Cinq, destroying everything in their path. "Burn it!  Burn it all!  Destroy everything! (AN: Reminds you a little bit of Dilandou, doesn't it? @_@) The Cinq Kingdom will be nothing more than a pillar of soot by the time I'm through!"
            An officer appeared on the screen of Leader's cockpit. "Sir, we detect four objects readily approaching your position."
            "Is that a fact?"
            "We believe them to be Gundams 02, 03, 04, and 05, sir."
            "It's about time." Leader snorted.  "I was starting to think they didn't care about their little glass kingdom.  Have the mobile dolls standing by."
            "Aye, sir."
            Leader touched down on the ground and awaited the Gundams' arrival.
            "Hoi, minna," Duo replied, "looks like our host already has the table set and waiting for us."
            "Don't let your guard down for a second, Duo." Quatre cautioned.  "We don't know what that thing is capable of-" Leader appeared on Quatre's monitor.  "What?"
            "I am capable of doing anything I want."
            "Is that so?" Duo frowned.
            "It's a pleasure to meet the infamous Gundam pilots." Leader said.  "But what's this, only four?  Oh, that's right, I already met Gundam pilot 01… or should I say Heero Yuy."
            "How do you know his name?" Quatre asked.
            "Oh, I know all about you, Quatre Raberba Winner, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, and Chang Wufei." Leader answered.  "I've always wanted a chance to meet you all – to destroy you of course."
            "Since you seem to know so much about us," Quatre replied calmly, "Would you say it would be fair for us to know your identity? Who are you?  And why do you want to destroy the Cinq kingdom?"
            "I want to destroy it because of all the hypocrisies it stands for." Leader answered.  "And as for my identity, I suppose it would be fair to see the face of your destiny." Leader's helmet was removed; revealing long green hair pulled back out of a pale, beautiful face with dangerous, coal black eyes.  "I am called Leader, but my name is Naya Mayomato… the leader of the Dark Claw Organization."
            "She's an onna!" Wufei gasped in something akin to horror.
            "Yet another unexpected twist." Duo blinked. "Bummer."  (AN: Anyone remember Road Rovers?  Hunter was so cool… for a dog ^_^;)
            "Now that introductions are over and done with," Leader, or Naya, replied.  "How about we get started?"
            A barrage of bullets showered of the hull of the Scorpio Gundam.
            "Ah, the silent one, Trowa Barton.  After all that trouble, you still decided to keep that name.  It shows how bold you are." Leader grinned.  "Still, you're going to have to do better than that if you even hope to beat me!" The Scorpio aimed its weapon at HeavyArms Kai.
            "Trowa, watch out!" Quatre cautioned.
            "Yaaaaargghhh!!" Wufei yelled as he released one of Shenlong's Dragon fans out at Scorpio.
            "Impressive, Chang Wufei." Leader smirked.  "Now let me show you my sting!"  Scorpio wheeled around, knocking the Dragon Fang away. It then knocked Shenlong backwards with a swish of its tail.
            "Wufei!" Duo called out.  "Tch… this chick's good, I'll give ya' that."
            "I'm better than good, Duo Maxwell," Leader scoffed. "I'm the best."
            "We'll see, lady!" Duo snapped back, swinging his scythe towards Scorpio.
            "We're in trouble, guys!" Quatre called out.  "She didn't come alone.  Sensors say there are two squadrons of mobile dolls on their way.  One's heading here and the other is making a bee-line towards the capital."  (AN:  Does Cinq even have a capital?  Oh well, it has one now =P)
            "Quatre, you and I will hold off the dolls heading towards the capital." Trowa replied firmly.  (AN: Who's the strategist here?) "Duo and Wufei, can you two handle the leader?"
            "'Course we can," Duo grinned.  "That is, of course, if Wu-man here can handle fighting a woman."
            Shenlong jumped up.  "Of course I can!!" Wufei bellowed.  "I refuse to be beaten by an onna!"
            "Ganbatte,you two." Quatre replied as SandRock and HeavyArms Kai took off in pursuit of the dolls.
            Leader watched with little interest as the two gundams took off.  Turning back to the two remaining, she replied, "Well, it looks like is just the three of us."  Scorpio took out a beam saber.  "Shall we dance?"
            Shenlong and Deathscythe Hell put themselves in fighting positions.  Their two pilots were ready for anything –well… almost anything.

Author's Notes:

Miss Chang Po: Wow... haven't done one of these in a while.

Wufei: That's because, surprisingly enough, you haven't had anything to say.

Miss Chang Po: I have so! I've got tons of things to say?

Wufei: Oh yeah? ::raises an eyebrow:: What have you got to say? Besides beg for ideas of course...

Miss Chang Po: ::remains silent for a good moment, then scratches her head, looking embarassed:: So, how's the weather today?

Wufei: ::falls over:: Idiot...

Miss Chang Po: ::grins::
