Heero's POV

I saw the gundam take off into the air. It was the fastest I have ever seen one of the mobile suits go. It did a couple of drills than floated back towards the ground. I was standing in the entrance of the hanger and I saw the outers spot me.

"Well look who decided to join us." Said Hakura as she walked towards me. "Pretty impressive wouldn't you say?"

"Hn." I replied.

I saw Usagi get out of the cockpit and go down the lift.

"Still needs new ammo but I guess it is alright for now. It is responding to the crystal very well actually." She stated. "Well Heero what's up?"

"What is that machine powered by?" I asked.

"The silver crystal that is why only I can use it." She replied as her gaze shifted to Setsuna. "I guess we should check on the others and see if they haven't killed each other yet." She smirked.

She walked towards the exit and we all followed suit.

Usagi's POV

I saw that the only ones who were still fighting were Rei, Wufei, Trowa, and Makato. Ami and Quatre were talking about what kind of computer system she uses and Minako and Duo were just fooling around. I saw Rei get in a punch and Wufei went down for about three seconds. I smirked.

"You guys call this training?" I asked looking bewildered.

Everyone stopped what they were doing. I saw Wufei wipe blood off his face.

"Yeah but this onna doesn't know when to stop." He grinned. "But I had the upper hand."

"HA! You couldn't even get a kick in." Rei stated as she sat down on a bolder.

"We were just resting." Said Minako looking innocent.

"yeah yeah, I have heard the story a thousand times." I sighed. I looked at Trowa and Makato who had their arms crossed over their chests. "Well that is it for the day. I suggest we all get some sleep before we start again tomorrow." I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around to see the outers and Heero. "Glad you could join us. Well the boys can sleep outside and we get the small cramped ruin. How about that?" I said eyeing everyone.

"Why do we have to sleep outside?" whined Duo.

"Well I don't want to get into it now. But we need a look out I will take it first." I said.

"Princess are you sure you need to regain your energy." Said Setsuna as she put her hand on my shoulder.

"I'm fine really." I turned to the others. "It is getting dark I suggest we all get settled for the night." Everyone nodded and the girls walked into the ruin.

"Usagi-mama." Said little Hotaru pulling at my pants.

"Yes Hotaru." I said.

"Is the Queen ok?" she asked.

"Yes firefly she is fine. Now go to bed with Hakura and Michiru." I said as I patted her back and she ran into Hakura's arms.

"Princess are you sure you want to do this?" asked Hakura.

"I am fine just get some sleep." I said as they walked away and just Heero was standing there. "Go Heero I will be fine and don't try to stay up and be a lookout I can do it all on my own." He glanced at me then walked away. I sat down and looked at the sky. I wonder what is going on it's not likely that the great freeze is coming this soon. just then a saw a mist pouring through the trees and I figure emerged from it. And there stood Diamond. I stood up to meet his gaze.

"What do you want Diamond?" I said coldly as I pulled my crystal out and held it in my hand.

"I have a proposition for you my sweet Serenity." He smiled and stepped towards me. I took a step back.

"What do you want?" I said again.

"Why nothing much just your cooperation and that boy you call Heero. Then I promise I will leave your pathetic planet alone forever." He smiled.

"What do you want with Heero?" I asked.

"You know but your mind just won't accept it. You have see what he is capable of. And what he did for the Dark Moon. He was destined to be the ruler but his mind was erased and he was sent to earth by your horrible crystal."

I remember vaguely what happened on that day. I know that we were all sent to Earth by the Crystal but is it possible that Heero's past self was there too?

Heero's POV

I walked though the trees to find that goddamn women she was supposed to be the look out. I swiped a branch from my face and saw Usagi talking with the guy we were all after and supposed to kill. What was she doing? Was she making a deal with the enemy? What was going on?

Usagi POV

"Diamond I will not give over Heero no matter what he did in the past he is different now." I said.

"You can't be sure about that can you Serenity?"

"I know for a fact that he will never come over to your side."

"Fine if you will not give him up there are other option to take. I still have the princess Relena and that will be good enough for now." He smirked.

I brought my fist up to punch him but he disappeared into the mist. I heard someone behind me.

"What were you doing?" I heard the voice of Heero say.

I was in deep shit now.

R/R thanks! -GP
