-Begin-

Quatre was going to fight the new Gundam Heolster. The two had prepared for a duel to the death, or near it anyway. Now they were ready to fight.

Sandrock pulled out its heat shotels and Heolster activated its beam saber. Then two more beam blades activated, forming a rough trident in shape. "Well I felt like making some changes and here they are." Then a second three bladed saber was activated in his left hand. "Well I've made a few modifications so what do you have for me?"

Quatre charged at the Gundam Heolster before him. Heolster charged right at him. Quatre made a slice from the outside of Heolster's normal strike range with his massive shotels. Quickly twisting his beam sabers so that the main blade was able to block the dual attack Reynolds stopped the attack. For a moment the two combatants applied pressure to try and push forwards and back each foe's blade. After a moment it became obvious that both combatants power was about equal and thus it became wise for them to break off the attack.

Trying to use the advantage of range Quatre produced his small beam weapon. Firing off a few quick shots he managed to get in one his on Reynolds left shoulder. Destroying the laser on it and possibly jamming the missile hatches shut. He then opened up the un-damaged rear hatch on the left shoulder and the entire right shoulder and fired off all the missiles he could. Quatre retaliated by heating up both of his shotels and throwing them at the larger portion of the missile barrage. Then he took out his laser and blasted what was left. He also was required to evade more than a few enemy missiles that managed to avoid utter annihilation.

Seeing an opportunity in attacking an enemy who had willingly discarded his weapons Reynolds charged at sandrock who was headed towards his shotels as fast as he could. Quatre saw the warning that Reynolds was approaching and turning while still staying on the same course he fired off shots in order to try and delay or damage Heolster. These shots had the desired effect and managed to nock him off course while also landing a sole hit on the armor, which admittedly did little but it seemed more of a moral victory than anything.

Quickly putting an extra boost of speed on his Gundam he reached the two shotels in time to counter an enemy attack. Caught now in the same position as he had when he had initiated an earlier sword attack quatre could tell the Reynolds did not want to back off. They held up their contact for several moments then the two outer blades of each sword moved in an arc. Until there were perpendicular with the main blade. One of the two outer edges on each sword now were just millimeters from reaching sandrock and the Gundam Heolster had a slight edge on sandrock in strength it seemed.

Sensing a more than slight enemy advantage quatre backed off from his assault. At which point Reynolds began to lash out with all five heat whips, none with heat active. Quatre evaded and knocked away the various assaults from the enemy Gundam. In this deft evasion process he was even able to cut off a few links from one of the chains. However that evasive ability of quatre only could last so long and soon quatre was getting hit every now and again. After a few minutes with the percent of attacks hitting sandrock increasing slowly Quatre took the hit and backed away getting range on his nemesis. There was a momentary attempt to strike sandrock with a heat whip but quatre had gotten out of the maximum range of the enemy with room to spare. Then out came the beam gun once more. Firing off shots partly to keep the current range partly to actually try and damage Heolster quatre managed to only force Reynolds to resort to his one ranged weapon as he slowly closed the distance.

Finally once Reynolds came within range out came all five whips. Quatre shot away the damaged one but then one whip pierced his gun. The gun promptly exploded damaging the whip slightly but not doing anything else of significance. Then the other three fully intact whips stuck at sandrock, one caught his left arm, another a leg the last pierced a short ways into the caught right leg. The damaged chains came along moments later and tied up the other arm and leg. Reynolds rapidly closed the distance between the two combatants sword ready to carve into sandrock. But he forgot to remove the slack in the chain so sandrock evaded his first attack and managed to loose an arm from bondage in the process. Using the loose arm to draw a shotel and cut away the chain that had caught it quatre met the beam sword of Reynolds on his next assault which had no chain slack.

At point black range with the shotels blade edge meeting the beam saber tip several moments passed of silence as both pilot tried to figure out what to do next. Quatre was the first to decide, he wanted to try and talk, he was much better at it than fighting after all.

"Why don't we just stop fighting?" Quatre asked. "This duel can't do much more as you and I both know our soldier won't let either of us die. In my case I actually had to force them to stay away from my battle, and I think discipline is starting to lack the longer the fight continues." Quatre chuckled. The fact that another friendly Gundam would be there was very assuring to his general troops, but not to the Maguanac corp. Every one of them had been assigned as close as they could be to the battlefront.

"You think so." Reynolds started, "But I do not. I think that if I truly am powerful enough I can kill you."

"What does this battle mean to you!?" Quatre shouted, "Is it just a test of your skill! Are you just trying to prove that you are better than everyone else! What are you fighting for!?"

"I fight to realize my ideal of peace."

"The peace you are seeking is not true peace!"

"Oh shut up and hear me out." Reynolds paused a moment. "Thank you, I don't want to have to deal with a 'false peace' speech. The peace of the sentarius force, while admittedly will initially be imposed by fear will become a true peace. Peace is a slow to attain process and will take time. But when all is said and done the peace that we will create will be a true peace."

Quatre glared at the man. Reynolds returned the glare. But still no mobile suit action occurred. Or so it seemed. Out of nowhere the small laser cannon on Heolster's right shoulder fired of a concentrated beam that hit sandrock's free left arm. Slowly as blast after blast hit the arm sandrock's strength decreased. Finally Reynolds was able to deflect sandrock's blade and he began to beat on the Gundam. After several minutes of this something happened that was bound to happen.

That something was a laser fire barrage from the UN/Preventer allied forces near the battle site. And two beam cannon shots from the Gundam Apollo aimed right at the Gundam Heolster.

"Damn!" Reynolds shouted as he boosted himself and sandrock out of the way of the attack.

"Go!" Tom shouted as he produced dual beam sabers out of his Gundam's wrists. "I'll rescue sandrock, make sure I stay alive I'll make sure quatre lives." Quickly tom took off after the attempting to escape Gundam Heolster. With quatre actively trying to resist Heolster's acceleration away from the battlefield, as well as the fact that he was just there, tom was easily able to catch up to the Gundam victor who had sandrock bound up. And it took but a moment more to slice through the heat whips and start trying to beat up the enemy Gundam. Once Heolster was able to try and strike back and ended up in a standoff with Heolster tom took a moment to talk to quatre. "Quatre, you go back to the hangar and let sandrock get repaired, and get a medical check you must have had some beating inside the cockpit."

"Thanks. Are you sure you can handle him?"

"Yea you beat him up plenty for me." Tom said as his hip blasters rotated to face Heolster and shot him away from tom. "And I know a lot more about how he fights now. So at least I'll stay alive in this fight."

Reynolds managed to take up an evasive stance as he evaded the continuing barrage of fire from Thomas and everyone else on the battle line. Avoiding the enemy attacks he dashed towards quatre. "The one on one duel has gone to hell but I can still kill you!" He shouted as he transformed into mobile armor mode and shot his one laser gun at whoever got in his way. He transformed once he was a decent ways past the main forward line. "Now die!" He shouted as he activated both his swords and moved to cut quatre to bits.

"Back off!" A shot came from ahead of him, it was a large rocket. The rocket exploded on Heolster and sent him flying. Then the whole of the Maguanac corp. unleashed a barrage on him. Quatre looked to see Rashid's mobile suit with a massive rocket launcher.

The Maguanac corp. all now had modified mobile suits. They still retained the distinct Maguanac look but all came with either a longer range more powerful sniper rifle that could break the shields of the Virgo 3 or a beam saber, or another close range weapon. Or all of the above if the pilot felt it was necessary. Also some had missiles in their shoulders. They all had an advanced neo-titanium which was almost twice as beam resistant to plain neo-titanium and a hair stronger against physical attacks.

"Thanks guys." Quatre mumbled.

"Yea thanks a lot." Tom said. "I can really total him now." Apollo was having a dual saber duel against Heolster. "I need you guys to give the troops backup." The two continued their duel as Heolster flew around still much faster than Apollo. Apollo however was able to deflect each attack and was starting to be able to land hits with somewhat regular accuracy.

"You damn brat! You don't stand a chance, just surrender to you're fate and die already!" Heolster came in from dead on for a potentially lethal attack to the Gundam's cockpit.

Tom simple leveled his guns at Heolster and fired. Only to find that he had evaded his attack, and then he had managed to slice the main cannons in half, and find time to appear behind tom's back. "THE HELL!" Tom shouted in exasperation as he realized how skilled this pilot was. "I don't care how good you are in you're suit's condition you can't be doing stuff like that." Reynolds tried to make an x cross over Apollo's back. But tom managed to catch the two arms and knock out the beam sabers from them. "Damn it how can you still be fighting back at all!" Tom shouted as he turned around and pointed a beam saber at his enemies head.

"Confused are you?" Reynolds chuckled. "Well now this is a surprise." He evaded tom's attempt to strike him with ease. Then he pulled out a third sword from the traditional hip holster on epyon (the other two were stored on the wrist) and then activated the still good center whip. "I let you disarm me that one time just because of a momentary slip of overconfidence. Congratulations though, it isn't just you're effort alone that made me do this but you forced me to use the Zero system none-the-less." Inside his cockpit Reynolds opened his eyes to reveal a faint gold glow.

"You didn't, you idiot you could kill yourself and everyone else around us!" Tom said as he took his two mini guns put them together wielding them in his left hand and he had a beam saber in his right. "I will stop you from killing them all. You are a mad-man who has to be stopped!"

"Wrong I am a madman who will win!" Reynolds launched an attack that brought his one bladed epyon sword right at Tom's head. Tom blocked it with his blade and began a barrage from his dual mini-guns.

The heat whip came out and tried to strike tom, but it missed by a hair. Tom went above Heolster and fired the dual mini-gun and created a spread of fire. The spread was easily evaded by Heolster and Reynolds took the opportunity to try and get back to his ship. Tom aimed at him but then Reynolds transformed into mobile armor mode and took off giving a retreat order to the entire force.

"Damn!" Tom exclaimed as Reynolds got too far for his shots to do any damage. "He got away, CRAP!" Tom stared at his control panel. He hit it out of frustration, but with a purpose. The comm. Link opened up. "This is a general order to all UN/Preventer allied units. If you see Gundam Heolster you may fire but keep you're distance." Tom cut of the link with another smack and then he momentarily fumed. With a sigh tom charged into battle, it would be a good way to eliminate his rage.

When he reached the front a wide line of explosions occurred. As Reynolds looked back at this while he went to his ready to retreat ship he chuckled. "That Apollo pilot will have great potential in the near future. I'm going to have to remember to set him up for later. At least after I've taken on two more pilots." Reynolds laughed a darkly mirthful laugh. "For his sake I hope they take very long to occur. If not then I'll wipe the floor with him."

The UN/Preventer force returned to the L4 colonies after their surprisingly large victory margin. The enemy had lost 230 out of 250 mobile suits while they had lost a mere 32. While no-one was happy about those losses they all knew it could have been much worse if Heolster had been in the fight. Also it would have been worse if Quatre hadn't softened up Heolster. At the end of battle the Gundam had shown abilities far superior to that of what the data had shown and if he had brought those abilities to bear who knows what the outcome would have been.

Quatre was nowhere near seriously hurt his worst injury was a minor fracture in his arm. He had more than a few bruises and a couple of cut and was going to be sore all over for a while but alive he most certainly was going to be fine.

A few days after the battle Tom visited quatre. The two were allowed to be left alone in one of Quatre's private rooms for a while. It was going to be an interesting while.

"Did you know that I came here with orders other than physical support for you?" Tom asked.

"No, but it doesn't surprise me that you did."

"I should expect that from a Gundam pilot. Well my bosses want to know if you're willing to participate in the conflict on their side at all."

"I am not."

"As I expected." Tom made a move that seemed to lead to him turning around but he stopped about a quarter of the way around paused and thought to himself. Quatre sat down on a seat while tom continued his motion related thinking. After two good minutes tom turned to face quatre. "Did you find you're inspiration?"

"Yes."

"That and this are both my own questions so feel free to not tell me, lie to me, give me a partial truth, or the whole thing." Tom took a deep breath. "What is you're inspiration. You're driving motive, you're goal. Why did you decide to fight in sandrock despite what it will most likely do to your pacifist image?"

"Because ideals are rarely useful once you're dead. Also pacifism doesn't work unless a large group of people are willing to put down their weapons all at once."

Tom sighed and chewed his lip, "A more realistic view of the pacifism process?"

"Perhaps, maybe it's crazier who really knows." Quatre sighed himself. "You have somewhere to be don't you?"

"Not for three days, then we're all gone, as per your request."

"Thank you. I can live with this, but if your troops stayed it would destroy me utterly and totally."

Tom nodded. "Hell if I could end this war any faster and get as many of these weapons destroyed as I could I would. But hey, I work with what I got. I have no real grand ideal, other than to try and let as many people live their lives according to their ideals as possible. And have a good recovery quatre."

"I will."

-End-

Well I figured since OC's tend to get better gundams I needed to make the original pilots better somehow, so I made them more skilled than all of the new pilot's I introduced. It's just that Reynolds is good enough to give them a challenge, that and his suit is amazing.

So um read and review the chapter.
