Chapter One: Captured

"I'm talking about one of your friends. I'm not gonna say his name, to add more to the surprise. So I'll let you all take a look at him." The girl disappeared and then came back with some guards behind her, they brought another chair and placed an unconscious and bound person near the screen.

A nasty gash ran on his forehead, leaving a running stream of crimson red blood that hadn't dried up yet, showing that the "interrogation" hadn't been that long ago.

The young warrior snapped her fingers together and the light got brighter, slowly, revealing the person's face, shocking all of the people in the room…

"H-Heero..." Relena said quietly as the light grew brighter in the room.

"What!" Duo shouted. "Impossible!" He stared at the Japanese pilot of the hardest suit to pilot, Wing Zero, or Zero One after he did it's tune up for no reason.

"That can't be him." Sally said, shocked like everyone else.

"No way!" Quatre said.

Trowa and Wufei said nothing, just looked at the screen shocked.

Une looked in disbelief too. "That's impossible. You can't capture a Gundam pilot without a extremely hard force. Especially Heero." Une said. "OZ and Romefeller had trouble catching them as it was unless they caught them by some odd turn of event's."

The others nodded in agreement.

"It has to be a dummy." Duo said, still looking at the screen.

Relena looked at Heero. His face almost looked peaceful. He had a nasty wound on his forehead that trickled blood down the side of his head. His head was leaning down and his bangs hung over his face.

"That's not true." Lethe said. "Thanks to his capture, I give my deepest thanks to Miss Relena." Relena looked shocked and taken aback at this.

"M-Me?" She shouted in outrage. "What in the world are you babbling about now?" She shrieked, outraged at the thought of someone suggesting she betray him.

"Yes, you see. He's been quite tired lately since your announcement on running to become president, he's been very busy and hasn't had any time to relax. Maybe I should keep him for myself. I've almost made a deal with the people who trained him. A new war is beginning. Luckily you pilots didn't destroy them, the Gundam's I mean. It's going back to good old days. OZ has been secretly reformed ever since we've captured him. He was so close to destroying them, but he couldn't take the stress. He collapsed under exhaustion." She said.

The others were shocked. "Why would you want to keep Heero to yourself?" Une asked, not reverting her eyes from the motionless Heero.

"Oh." Lethe blushed. "He's quite the cutie. Don't you think Relena? He'd make an excellent boyfriend and body guard." She giggled shyly and leaned against Heero, placed her hand under his chin so they could all easily see his face that showed now no expression. Turning it to face her, she then brushed her lips over his, while making sure that the others could see plainly, and stole a light kiss from him.

Relena screamed at the top of her lungs, scaring everyone in the room. "Relena! Calm down!" Said Duo, trying to restrain her and the other Gundam pilots helped too.

Heero's eyes slowly opened, he heard screaming and a lot of noises. Relena rushed over to the monitor and Heero slowly blinked away what little sleep he had gotten.

"Heero!" Relena half sobbed and half cried, but before he registered all this into his groggy mind and orderly came and jerked his head down so he couldn't see what was on the screen. Another guard came up from behind with a needle and jabbed it into his neck, hard enough for him to wince and tightly close his eyes in pain, then he collapsed back onto the chair in his original form. Muttering a barely audible 'ugh' when the needle was jabbed into his neck sharply.

"What did you do to him?" Relena shrieked at the calm Lethe.

"We have sedated him strongly, even at his lowest point, he's still stronger than most humans. Sadly, if he never met you lot, then he would still be the same killer. Not for long though, that's about to change. He will once again be the victor, only this time of the new Eve wars."

"What do you mean by that?" Trowa asked.

"Why are you doing this to him?" Relena cried as she collapsed on a couch from crying too long.

"What do you mean by 'not for long though, that's about to change'?" Quatre asked, almost loosing his calmness.

"Relena." Lethe said sharply, glaring at her. "Now you have a little taste of what Heero was like when we caught him. He still fought to defend himself though. He could barely stand up for ten minute's length." She said. This stuck the others like a round of bullets. He couldn't even stand for ten minutes length ran through their heads over and over again, leaving them speechless.

"What you have done to him makes me sick. You travel all around trying to make peace while other's are out to kill or ransom you so he's driven himself to his body's physical exhaustion, which never even happened during the war when he was always busy doing something, rarely having time to rest. For what? A girl with foolish values and ideals that she's trying to make the world see." She spat out.

Lethe looked at them angrily. Sally was still by the monitor. "You know what?" She said calmly, yet a hint of anger could be told in her tone. "I think I'll take my offer back. The doctors didn't die either so I suggest you check your mailboxes, no one wants your dreamy peace any more.

No one will listen to you Relena. Lots of people are jobless or can't make a living out of the peace. The war is already to be declared. I suggest you check your news. The Preventers were attacked twenty minutes ago and they are obsolete. Good bye." With those parting words, she glared once more for a second or two before disconnecting the communcation link.

The screen went blank and the others rushed over to the screen, trying to get the connection working again, or to discover the location of where the transmission was from, but they had done a very good job of covering up their tracks.

Relena sank to her knees. Her mind replayed the kiss Lethe had gotten from the unconscious Heero. Tears fell from her eyes as mobile suits landed around Quatre's residence and the Gundam pilots regained their wits as an announcement was declared over an intercom in the mobile suit.

"You are under arrest. Please come out quietly, or we will be forced to take action. We have you surrounded. Any actions other than surrendering would be rash and stupid." Said the captain of the squad.

"We don't have a choice. The Gundam's are hidden elsewhere and they must want us out of the picture. They wouldn't want us to spoil the plans..." Trowa said in his usual monotone voice, looking out the window.

"Maybe, they'll take us to where their headquarters are." Wufei said.

"Yeah." Quatre said. He grabbed Relena gently by the arm and pulled her to her feet and walked over to where Lady Une was standing by the door and opened it.

All of them walked out the door and looked at the new mobile dolls and mobile suits standing around them. Soldiers came out from their attack position and placed cuffs on the captured Gundam pilots, Relena, Sally, and Lady Une. Currently, the seemingly simple minded soldiers weren't so simple minded in their plot of trying to act like they were fugitives by saying arrest so people wouldn't get suspicious, after all. They want the public people to be simple-minded about everything, right? Any way, this devious plot in set, they shoved the captured "fugitives" literally into a big armored car.

"Let's hope that nothing really bad goes on." Quatre said depressed.

"I still can't believe that they caught Heero..." Sally muttered. She had gotten to know the Gundam pilot over the war years. He usually preferred to work alone, but kept to himself. She knew he had a hard childhood, that is if you would call it a childhood, even though he didn't know she knew that. There was no trace at all around the colonies and it took a lot of time to even unearth the smallest bit of data on the mysterious Gundam pilot.

"Well, we did know he was kinda exhausted, but I never knew he was THAT exhausted." Duo said, without his cheery tone, gazing down at the floor of the car as they went screeching down another block.

"It's all my fault." Relena said, tears brimming her eyes. "If I only knew a little sooner...I-this wouldn't have..." She took a deep breath trying to calm herself, which wasn't working very well.

Lady Une leaned against her to add some comfort. She would pull her into a hug, but the restraints on her hands made that impossible.

Sally looked at Relena. "Aw, don't worry about him... He'll be fine. He always is, even through all he's been through. I mean, after what they..." She stopped at looked at the questioning looks of the others. She blushed.

The cat was out of the bag.

Author's note: This is the revised story of ADWE so some things may be changed. I decided to give the story a much needed makeover after I looked at it and gasped and how awful it was written. I couldn't change the whole storyline since I liked some parts and decided to vamp it up a bit before I get the sequel for the trilogy (yes, this has turned into a trilogy ) out.

Love y'all and hope you like the new chapters! Some of them may take a while to get out!

in Liebe, Red Tail
