Disclaimer: No, I do not own Gundam Wing, but in Wufei's Shenlong Gundam, I will go to Yoshiyuki Tomino-san's house and steal it!
Wufei: ::horrified:: You'll what! ::whips out his sword:: Injustice!! For even thinking the idea!
::eeps and runs off, Wufei close at her heels::

Though silent, and empty, the Cinq Kingdom still stood proud as ever. Like a lighthouse through thethick smog, its light shone out, welcoming in weary travelers from theirjourneys on the ravaging seas.
The verythought of it made Naya want to throw up. As she approached the city in her Scorpio Gundam, she came to a stop,hovering in midair. "Those foolsthought they could be me." she scoffed aloud. Raising a buster rifle she had procured along the way, she placed themain palace in her sights. "With thisfinal stroke," she said with a sneer, "I'll put a stop to this madness." Shereadied her controls. "Never again willthis place spawn another hypocrite like Relena Peacecraft."

Chapter 16
"Challenges and Accusations"
Two shots ricocheted off of the Scorpio's back, alerting Naya's attention to her back. "Who dares?" she snarled.
Hilde and Sally's mobile suits hovered behind her. Sally charged up her buster rifle, preparing to fire.
"All right, I don't care who you are, or what you're here for," Sally Po replied sternly. "But drop your weapon right now!"
Naya blinked for a few moments before breaking out into laughter. "Why should I listen to you?" she asked. "You're no match for me!"
"Yeah, well, your little toy may be more souped up than our mobile suits," Hilde retorted indignantly, "but we're not letting you get another step further!"
Naya's expression turned grim. "I wouldn't place a bet on that if I were you." With a quick movement, she made a quick 180 degree turn, firing a round of shots at the two suits.
"Watch out!" Hilde cautioned as they both moved out of the way.
"She's fast," Sally murmured as she guided her suit through the barrage of shots. "Extremely fast."
"I wish Duo and the others were here," Hilde murmured over the comm.
"Now's not the time to complain, Thunder," Sally reprimanded her. "We've got to stay on our toes if we want to stay alive."
"Right!"
Naya scowled, firing shot after shot as if she were shooting at ducks in a barrel. "How dare you try to challenge me." she replied. Naya fired a shot, hitting Sally dead on.
"Water!" Hilde cried out.
Naya grinned in satisfaction as the suit fell from view. "No one will prevent me from completing my mission."
Hilde's face went pale with shock as she watched the suit on her scope go down in smoke. "Sally!" Fortunately, Arch Angel flew in out of nowhere, plucking Sally's mobile suit from its deathspiral. "Relena!" she cried out happily. "Thank Kami (God) you're here!"
Naya blinked, hardly believing her ears. "Re…le…na…?"
Arch Angel carefully set Sally's battered mobile suit on the ground, assessing its damage. Hilde touched down next tothem.
"Sally," she called out. "You okay?" A groan was all that could be heard. "C'mon, Sally, pull it together! What would Wufei say if you called it quits!"
Sally appeared on the screen, dabbing a small gash on her head. "Who says I'm calling it quits?" she asked.
Relena sighed with relief. "Are you sure you're going to be all right, Sally?" she asked, just to be sure.
Sally waved her words away. "Sure, sure, I'll live." she answered, giving them both a lopsided grin. "Besides, I wouldn't want Wufei to have the last-,"
"Relena, watch out!" Relena looked up to her main monitor to see Scorpio flying towards her at ramming speed. Sally tried firing a shot to slow the Gundam down, but it kept on, colliding with Arch Angel, sending both suits skidding through the dirt.
Relena aimed her crossbow at the mobile suit's head to break away, but the Scorpio Gundam knocked it aside, resulting in the stray shot detonating in the air above them. Scorpio lifted Arch Angel into the air and then slammed it into the ground.
"Relena!" Hilde cried out.
"She's gonna need help!" Sally exclaimed. "Call for back up right now!"
"Hai!"
Gazing at the two suits as they hammered away at each other, Sally could only hope that the others would arrive quickly. She winced, saying a quick prayer as she applied pressure to her injury. They were going to need all the help they could get.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Relena Peacecraft, advocator of pacifism, once heir to the throne of the Cinq Kingdom, ex-sovereign of the Earth sphere, fought the urge to scream. The dreaded Zero System, which had caused Quatre to blow up colonies, caused Milliardo to turn against the Earth, now fed information into her brain of different scenarios, ways to destroy the Scorpio Gundam.
"No…" the young Vice Foreign Minister gritted her teeth, shutting out the voices in her head. If Heero could do it, then damnit, so could she! "I won't destroy it… I have to find out why it's here, first!"
Naya appeared on her screen, an amused grin on her face. "If you wanted to know that, you should have just asked."
Relena blinked, staring at the woman before her. "Who are you?"
Only silence greeted her. The Dark Claw leader looked shocked as she quickly lowered her eyes from view. "You… you mean… you don't know who I am?"
Relena blinked again. She'd met many people in her short lifetime, but surely she would never forget a face.
Angered by her silence, Naya raised her head again, her eyes now blazing in anger. "You're lying!" she screamed. "You know damn well who I am!" Scorpio raised a fist in the air, bringing it down to rip a chunk off of Arch Angel's upper arm, revealing the circuitry below.
"You're responsible for the death of my sister!"
Relena blinked in horror. "What?"
~*~*~*~*~*~
"What?" Quatre exclaimed. "You mean Miss Relena is facing off against Leader right now?" He and the other Gundam pilots, along with Milliardo and Noin, were racing back towards the Cinq capital.
"That's what I said." Hilde replied gravely. "She just declared that Relena killed her sister."
"The Vengeance motive," Duo replied, nodding grimly. "Just typical."
Wufei shot him a dirty look. "Shut up, Maxwell." He snapped irritably. "Peacecraft is a pacifist. No doubt that Mayomato-onna is certifiable."
Duo scratched his head. "Aren't they all?"
"Do we have any info on her besides what she told us?" Milliardo asked.
Hilde looked down away from the screen to her computer console, where information on the Dark Claw leader was quickly scrolling by. "Mayomato, Naya – age 24. Leader of the Dark Claw Organization, ex-member of the White Fang Organization-,"
"We know all of that already." Milliardo growled, his patience already worn very thinly.
"Calm down, Millizechs," Duo exclaimed as he waved his hands frantically in front of the monitor. "She's getting to the good part," He cast Hilde a panicky glare. "Right, Hild'?"
"I'm getting there, I'm getting there," Hilde replied, as her eyes scanned quickly down the screen. "All right, here's something. It says that she's the daughter of Vladimir Mayomato."
"You mean the ambassador from the mid-eastern territories?" Milliardo gasped.
Hilde nodded. "And get this, her elder sister was Natasha Mayomato." She replied. "She was a student under the Romefeller foundation."
"Ya don't say?" Duo asked, clearly uninterested. "What does she have to do anything?"
"Well," Hilde replied. "I'm getting this information straight from the Dark Claw database."
"You hacked into their mainframe?" Quatre asked, clearly impressed.
Hilde nodded, still scanning the information. All of a sudden, a look of utter horror passed over her features.
Duo looked concerned. "What'sa matter, babe?" heasked.
"You guys aren't going to believe this…" Hilde murmured.
"Spit it out already." Wufei frowned, irritable.
Hilde's eyes were wide with shock. "It says here that Relena is responsible for Natasha Mayomato's death!"

Author's Notes:
Miss Chang Po: Christmas time is right around the corner, minna!
Wufei: I'm a Buddhist, so why should I care?
Miss Chang Po: It's the season for caring and giving, Wufei. Peace on Earth, good will towards men, and all that stuff.
Wufei: Guhh... you're starting to sound like that Peacecraft-onna.
Miss Chang Po: Don't be a Scrooge, Wufei! If it makes ya feel any better, you get to give me and the rest of your friends Christmas gifts! ^_^
Wufei: ::gives her a 'yeah right' look::
Miss Chang Po: Well, folks, we're reaching the end of the road here! I'd say maybe 3 chapters more and we'll reach the end of Heart of Space, Dove of Peace.
Wufei: ::looks uninterested:: Say it ain't so.
Miss Chang Po: ::doesn't catch the sarcasm:: I know! ::sniffles:: But never fear! I have an idea! Since you guys liked this fic so much, I was thinking about doing a series sequals. This time, each fic would focus on a different pairing. (i.e. DuoxHilde, WufeixSally... etc.) I'm still debating on whether or not to do another HeeroxRelena and ZechsxNoin (they're hard!). I'm not doing a QuatrexDorothy or a TrowaxCatherine.. those are just too weird for even me.
Wufei: That's a surpise
Miss Chang Po: But, I'm thinking of also including a love triangle fic between Quatre, Trowa and an Original character, but I need you guys' imput! Tell whether or not I should do it. Plot ideas are also welcome! Thanks in advance! Have a happy holiday everyone!
Wufei::frowns:: Bah Humbug!
