Prologue.
My first attempt on Gundam Wing. (Most probably the only one...) Takes place way after Endless Waltz. However, even though the narrator said after AC 196, mobile suits and Gundams were never seen again, he was wrong. During AC 199, just before New Year, a war erupted. And the preventers were at their wits end because the mysterious enemies they were up against had mobile suits.

December 27, After Colony 198
A girl wandered around the cold streets of the busy earth street, holding a piece of paper in her hand, wearing a blank expression. She was wearing a simple t-shirt with tight leggings and a skirt and looked to be around 6 or 7. She had short, black hair and fair complexion.
Suddenly, she stopped in front of a building and looked up. She went to an elevator and ascended to the top floor.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
A man sat in his dark apartment, checking for any new e-mails and investigating anything that can become the world's threat. He saw an invitation to the Peacecrafts' New Year Party, he smiled slightly as he thought of a certain special someone. Suddenly, his eyes fell onto one particular e-mail and read through the message left for him. 'Dr.J's will...' It was programmed to be sent to Heero on that specific day. The message read as followed:
"Heero,
I may not be around when you read this but, I hope you will take whatever I say seriously and accept these last missions. First and foremost, I want to apologize for myself and on behalf of Odin Lowe for training you to be such a killer, we were ordered to and believe me, we had no choice. The order to train you was also for the benefit of the colony. And the outcome? You saw for yourself. However, it was at a price of you forgetting your emotions. I hope that you can find your humanity through the peaceful world you created.
Last 2 missions: (1) Collect Wing and Wing Zero from you know where. (You can't trust the peaceful world, you know!) As for the second mission, the mission will come and find you.
That is all. Take good care of yourself and may you find peace and happiness.
Dr. J"
After he finished reading it, Heero shut his monitor and sat in his dark room in silence. His head was calculating all possible reasons the professor could possibly have to give the message to him. "What is the second mission?" he thought out loud.
"To prevent a war from occurring." His door was opened and a monotonous voice suddenly answered him from behind. He reached for his gun tucked behind him and pointed it to the door. The small girl shut the door and walked to him. "Heero Yuy, Pilot to Wing Zero?" Heero released the safety lock. She stopped.
"Who are you?" he asked casually. Though she was just a girl, he will never take any chances.
"I'm the mission." She answered, not tearing her eyes away from Heero and, his gun to be exact. "I was sent by Dr.J to search for you today. However, he no longer exists." She said as if reading a script. The way she talks somehow made Heero feel as if it was him talking. She talked like a soldier giving her reports to her commander. The only difference was her voice was feminine and she sounds as if she was whispering.
"Dr.J sent you." It was a statement but she nodded anyway. Heero relocked the safety lock. "Let's go." He said to her, taking his jacket. She followed him from behind, not saying a word. Heero eyed her from the corner of his eyes and thought he liked the girl because she's exactly like him. Even when they drove to their destination, she remained silent. "Are you project perfect?" Heero suddenly asked. She nodded slightly.
"I am to be the generation 2 perfect soldier." She stated. Heero looked away.
"You want to kill someone?" Heero didn't turn to see her. She glanced at him. "Have you been trained to actually kill?"
Slowly, she shook her head. "I was still under going the mental training when December 27th came." Heero smirked.
"Good." She looked at him. Though her face was blank but she was giving him a questioning look. Heero glanced at her. "Killing is a man's work." He turned on the turbo engine and headed to their destination. She was silent.
As they reached a silent and deserted area, the girl walked out and led him to a hidden door. She pushed in a few buttons and the door opened. Inside, was a huge lab. The feeling of the lab was sort of nostalgic to Heero for this is where he himself was trained and this was also where he first took a man's life away. The girl walked across the vast space (it was underground) and entered a non-gravitational hangar. Heero floated beside her, holding onto a rail.
"You know this place, don't you?" he looked at her. "I saw the datas of you receiving your trainings here. Hell." She turned to him.
Heero just gave off a small smirk and continued to follow her to where he knew, was the hangar to his 2 best friends. The girl pulled a switch and 2 huge doors opened. "I have received almost all the necessary trainings I need to be an assassin as well as to be a perfect soldier. But, this is the only task I am not able to learn." She stated to Heero. The door slid open to reveal Wing and Wing Zero, all brand new.
Heero jumped to his first Gundam, Wing and then at Zero. He opened the cockpits and sure enough, everything was in its original state. 'But... that's impossible...' he thought. He turned to her. "Zero was destroyed." He stated. She shook her head.
"Not anymore. I partially rebuilt him. The computer here received an automatic signal by Dr.J's death wave and started its reconstruction. All the while, I trained and at the same time helped in its reconstruction."
Heero moved down and stood next to her. "So, you don't know how to pilot them." She nodded.
"I must learn from the perfect soldier to be a perfect soldier. I was also ordered to follow no one's order but Heero Yuy." Heero narrowed his eyes at her.
"Who ordered you to be 'it'?" he asked, folding his arms. She kept quiet and didn't look up at Heero. "I want every one of your detail, soldier." He finally said. She looked up at him.
"I forgot my name. My age is 7. I started receiving trainings when I was 3. My parents were killed during a war when I was 2 years old. Dr.J was my training professor and Pierre Wallace was my trainer as yours was Odin Lowe. My specialty is close combat, shooting, hacking, gymnastic, disguise, piloting anything and a lot more. However, I haven't mastered the piloting of Wing or Zero with the ZERO system yet." She said briefly but clearly. Heero kept quiet. Seems like all her trainings were pretty much like his.
"You don't know your name?" She shook her head no. "What do they call you?"
"Kid?" she said. "Sometimes Pretty." Heero knitted his eyebrows and looked down at her. She looked Asian and Japanese like him. So, a Japanese name should do her good. He thought for a while.
"How about Hera?" he asked. The name sounded out of Japanese but, he can't think of a better name. She nodded, agreeing.
"Hera Yuy?" she asked. Heero kept quiet for a while and then shrugged.
"Fine." He said, ruffling her hair. She found the gesture somehow amusing and cracked something which resembles a smile. 'So, she can smile.' He thought.
"So, train me to pilot Wing using ZERO system." She said, the blank face returning.
Heero looked at her and smirked. "Mission Accepted." They went into an observatory looking area, A.K.A the Control Unit. A lot of satellite- captured images were displayed on each monitor. Heero looked at each of the monitors. Suddenly something caught his eyes. The image was suddenly enlarged. He looked back and saw Hera typing on the computer,
"I saw that too." She said. Heero nodded and turned his attention to the monitor. He could have sworn he was looking at a mobile suit. Suddenly, as if reading his mind, Hera stated the location of the monitor. "Latest model satellite, furthest from earth, a few light-years away. The satellite was positioned in its current location using the 'leap' technology of space crafts."
"You are very talented." Heero admired her skills even at such a young age.
She shrugged. "What do you expect? I'm the second perfect soldier. Besides, you were more or less like me when you were my age, even better."
Heero turned away. "I've forgotten all that." Suddenly, he heard a familiar rumbling. He turned and saw a gate-like door slide open. It was getting nostalgic again. He suddenly saw flashbacks of Dr.J training him to use the ZERO system using the simulator.
"Procedure complete." Hera stated behind him and hopped off the chair. She walked ahead of him into the room. As Heero stepped in, he noticed the interior was slightly modified. "This is the simulator for Wing and that is Zero's." She sat on a simulator tagged "WING" and pointed at her opposite labeled "0". "The simulator is connected to the real Gundam. Every reaction we make will be recorded." She informed him.
"Fine." Heero jumped into the simulator seat which felt very much like Zero's cockpit and took off his jacket or he'll fry in it. "Don't go easy on me."
"Never." She replied when their simulator doors shut. "Where will we fight?" she asked him.
"Let me decide." Heero pushed some buttons and the screens in front of them suddenly displayed a huge field.
"Nice choice." She said. She walked around the field with her Gundam.
"Get a feeling of the controls and try experimenting with the thrusters, saber, boosters, shield and buster normally and as swiftly as you can." Heero ordered. She nodded and tried everything Heero ordered. After a few minutes, she mastered all the possible controls there was. She was a fast learner. "Good. Now, insert ZERO system." He ordered.
Without any hesitation, she input the 4 digit word. She suddenly felt like a wild beast and every one of her nerves, muscles and instincts ordered her one thing: Destroy. She took out her saber and dashed at Heero who was already waiting. Their sabers clashed and their simulator seats shook and trembled like a real battle.
"HYYYYAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!" she screamed and attacked Heero again and again. Though Heero hasn't piloted his gundam for 4 years and 2 days, but, he still has all his skills. It hasn't rusted, not one bit. He felt as if he was fighting Zechs. That just shows how skillful she was at handling the current gundam she's using.
As the fight commenced, a million thoughts crossed Heero's head. '4 years ago, I promised myself that I'll never kill anyone, ever again. But... that's just because I thought I didn't need to. But, now, things are different... why?' he suddenly typed in Z-E-R-O. He felt the system coursing through him like morphine and dashed at the dashing Wing in front of him. With a war cry, he slashed Wing's arm off and continued to cut it in half horizontally. After a few seconds, his monitor read, "Mission Accomplished."
Inside Hera's simulator, she was bewildered. Her screen turned black. And she was surrounded by darkness. She can hear Heero coming out of his simulator. She can hear him walk to the hatch and stopped. He knocked. "It's over." He said. "You can come out now."
She opened the hatch and saw Heero's face looking down on her. His face wasn't hard and cruel. It was soft and sympathetic. She felt a huge sense of respect towards him. She looked up at him like a scared little puppy. Heero put his hand on her head. "You did well."
She felt comfort when he did that gesture. "Thank you. Father." She said, surprising herself.
Heero was kind of taken aback by the sudden title but threw his head back and laughed. She was surprised and looked up at him. He was smiling at her. "Will do, daughter." He said, ruffling her hair. She smiled back at him, something she has never done ever since she was 2.
Then, they went back to Heero's apartment and the new father-daughter started their life as the perfect soldiers.
