Overwhelmed
Talon: HEYO!
Akemi: What now!
Talon: What makes you think that m'dear? All I was going to do was the disclaimer…
Akemi: Baka. Talon does not own digimon or Gundam Wing.
Talon: Yeah if I did Firehedgehog's "Hazards through the sand" would become a reality

Chapter 7-Pilot 04 once again
Quatre's POV
It had only been a few minutes since I got home when the news reporters wrote a story on
something that made my heart shatter.
"This just in! The colonies have went against our agreement. I repeat went against the
agreement.-" A bunch of scuffling was heard in the background before a white light
eveloped everything. It was apparent they died; it looked like they were attacking the
japan weapons facility. What would they do once it was blown up? I didn't even want to
think about that. I must pilot sandrock again; but I will not go as Quatre Winner. I'll go as
myself; I just can't do it now. I gave a sad smile before I told matt who was still in shock
from the news.
"Later Matt! Be back later!" Then ran out the door into where I hid sandrock after all this
time. Soon I came up to the forest not to far from where the mobile suits were battling.
Hopefully the pilots are fighting against them in the gundams. This is horrible!
Flashback
I was on colony L3 getting ready for a business meeting with the other successful
business on the L3 cluster. I felt a hand on my right shoulder and turned around. When I
saw who it was a small made its way onto my face. My crush…too bad he'll never return
how I feel. My space heart tells me he's in love with someone,
"Trowa!" I said enthusiastically. The normally emotionless guy showed a flicker of relief.
But why?
"Quatre; Leave this life and live the one you want to." I smiled though not really
understanding; his words touched my heart. I've never heard him say anything like this
before.
"thanks Trowa." I told him once again smiling and he nodded before walking off.
End flashback
Arigatou Trowa; I listened to you at last and lived the peaceful life I wanted to live. I just
wish I could…I could share it with you. But the colonies are attacking; so I much return
to the battle field once again.
I jumped into sandrock and a sense of welcoming, familiarity, and strength engulfed me.
I quickly checked to make sure she was still in fighting condition. To my luck she was so
I started up the program and used the controls to fly over to the battleground. I took in a
breath because of how nervous I was.
"no turning back now" I said to myself. I looked on ahead and hoped I was not to late…
Duo's POV
What were they thinking? They can't just attack the earth like this and as much as I hate
to say it; it's unjust! In my anger I didn't notice how 6 mobile suits had ganged up on
me. I looked around at the others; they were all to busy! I hit the keyboard in anger and
tried to get out of this fatal position.
The Mobile suit raised it sword and I shut my eyes as it was about to swing down; ending
my life. But it didn't come; I cautiously opened my eyes to see a suit in front of me. It
reflected the attack therefore saving my life. What a minute! That suit…
it's….SANDROCK?! Quatre…this will bring the others closer on finding out your
identity.
"Hurry and stand up Duo!" Quatre said over the telecom and I stood up quickly.
"Thanks Takeru." I joined the rest of the battle while he took on the suits that were about
the cream me.
After the battle (Because I suck at battle scenes) I hopped out of Deathscythe and caught
a glimpse of sandrock retreating. The others seemed shocked; now they know Quatre's
alive but no idea of where to search. I quickly put on a look of surprise so they wouldn't
be too shocked at my lack of emotion.
"We better get going before the authorities arrive." I said after a bit, they nodded and
took off toward the safehouse.
Next day
Takeru's POV
I smiled thinking of yesterday. It was good to be back on the battlefield with the others.
Of course three of them had no idea it was me. I looked up and groaned; Heero was
coming my way and Duo decided to join him hoping to help me if I needed it.
Once he got here, I took a look at his face. Trying to see what he was feeling in order to
decide what position I was in. He opened his mouth and I took a quick glance at Duo.
Apparently he didn't find out what Heero wanted.
"Clue 1: Any normal person would cower in fear because of the gun.
Clue 2: Death threats are just as bad.
These two clues determine that you are a soldier." I gulped and hope he didn't hear what
I said to Duo during the battle.
"Clue 3: You fought in a mobile suit flawlessly.
You could be a threat and threats must be eliminated." He pulled out the gun he threatned
me with a few days ago. I had to run but we were in close-range; I took a look at Duo and
saw the colour drain from his face.
"Omae o-" before he could finish his statement Duo pushed him away and shouted,
"GO!" That's all I needed I took off and hoped Duo wouldn't get in too much trouble
for this. I ran to the lake Matt and I use to hang out at when we were younger. I smiled
sadly; things were so easy back then. Now a days; I just come here to think. If I didn't tell
who I was not only Duo would get in trouble I would be hunted down. I cursed aloud and
pounded my fist into the soft sand.
"Now why aren't you in school?" I looked up and saw Matt with a disapproving look on
his face.
"He knows…" I said more to myself then him. I froze; now I gotta tell Matt about my
past in the war. By the time I finished Matt had a blank look upon his face, "Heero knows
I'm a soldier yet he does not know I'm Quatre. He thinks I'm a possible threat and threats
should be eliminated." I looked up finally finished my tale; Matt's emotions! I winced
"Agh!" I groaned falling over and aniki gasped. He must've forgotten because instantly
he surpressed them. But it still left me feeling weak.
"TK" I heard him say, "Follow your heart be it as Quatre Raberba Winner or Takeru
Takaishi." That was just what I needed to hear. He supported me; even after he found out
about my dark history. I gave him a tight hug and ran off knowing what I had to do…
Duo's POV
I went berserk with Heero when I saw him try to kill Quatre. I thought he had changed
after the war. But I guess not; I was sitting in class ignoring Heero not even bothering
Wufei. I mean that's one of my favourite pastimes!
Quatre still hasn't returned to class. I hope he's alright; not that I'd expect him to return
any time soon.
DING
The bell rang signaling the students that it's now lunch time. I walked out onto the
grounds where the others were. I was having a nice little chat with Wufei; still ignoring
Heero I may add, when the other pilots and my self heard a commotion.
"NOT ONLY DID YOU SKIP CLASS! YOU DYE YOUR HAIR TO DO IT!" the
person shrieked. I recognized it to be Miyako. Who could forget a voice like that?
"Miyako-san-" Quatre cut off by her and felt bad for him. But why would he return to
school. It's like he wants to die and now Heero has told all the pilots about this 'threat'
and I don't know how they're gonna take it!
She continued to rant on for several minutes. When she stopped to finally catch her
breath I walked up to them. Heero followed preparing his gun and Trowa and Wufei
following silently. I was the first to see Quatre's new colour and I choked. He changed it
back to the colouring it was when we met him.
"Quatre!" I yelled getting the pilots and the blond's attention.
"Duo…" He murmured and I took a quick glance at the other pilots. Heero dropped his
gun and stared at it in shock, Wufei had his jaw-drop, and Trowa was filled with a ton of
emotions it was hard to tell it was him.
I watched as Trowa walk toward 04 and how Quatre's face broke out into a smile. Quatre
ran up and embraced him. Trowa tensed but then slowly hugged back. Now that's a jaw-
dropper.
"Welcome back Quatre"
