Gundam Wing Resurrection
Book One
Chapter One: The Dream
A girl with brunette hair that fell past her waist stood in the frigid cold staring at her feed as snow fell around her in sheets. Her eyes were filled with tears when she looked up. Quatre Raberba Winner woke with a start. Sitting up quickly he flicked on the light. He ran a slim hand through his short blonde hair and slid off the bed. Jogging down the hall of his enormous house he burst into another bedroom.
"Trowa," Quatre stopped short as he saw Trowa Barton sitting upright in his bed. Trowa's hair was disheveled and his eyes reflected the fear the Quatre himself felt. "Trowa," Quatre repeated, "I just had a disturbing dream…" Trowa looked up sharply.
"So did I… mine was of a girl with long brown hair…" Trowa stared at Quatre, "She was standing…"
"In the snow…" Quatre whispered. Trowa's eyes widened and he nodded.
"You had the same dream?" Trowa asked as Quatre sat down at the foot of Trowa's bed.
"Yes," Quatre said thoughtfully, "I think that we need to contact the others…" Trowa nodded and threw back his covers.
A thousand miles away Heero Yuy and Duo Maxwell sat a bar in New York City with half empty glasses in front of them.
"Who do you think this girl is?" Duo asked softly his long brown braid falling over his shoulder. Heero stared at the bottom of his glass. His cobalt blue eyes were wide and filled with horror.
"I don't have to think…" Duo looked at Heero with surprise filling his violet eyes.
"Who is she?" he asked sharply. Heero took a drink, his shoulders hunched uncharacteristically and his brown hair falling in his face.
"My sister," Heero whispered, "She was killed in a Gundam training accident." Tears filled Heero's eyes. Duo felt fear clutch at his heart, Heero didn't cry it just wasn't like the battle hardened twenty-one year old. "My baby sister…"
8 years Ago
"She's my baby sister! She shouldn't be doing this!" Heero stood defiantly in front of Dr. J. His hair was buzzed close to his head and he was thin, almost sickly.
"She's only a year younger than you!" Dr. J looked at the twelve year old girl who sat watching the argument like a tennis match. Her hair was the same color as Heero's but much longer and pulled back into a ponytail that swept past her waist. Her eyes were the same color as his yet softer and a little more innocent. "She's our back up if any of you fail."
"Well we won't fail, so there's no need to put her in that kind of danger! We've all been trained not to fail." Heero said fiercely throwing his sister a soft look. "I love her, I can't watch you do this!"
"Let her show you what she can do. She has a talent just like you." Dr. J said softly. "Cassy, are you ready?" The young girl swallowed hard and glanced at her brother. She was nervous about showing her brother.
"Yes," She stood and walked over to Heero. She put a hand on her brother's shoulder. "I can handle it," She said "See you in a bit." Heero hugged her tightly, stroking her hair.
"Be careful sis, I love you!" He said softly.
"I love you too." Cassy said squeezing him tightly. She turned on her heel and jogged to her Leo ground suit. Heero smiled as the suit took life and turned to the computerized Aries suit. Dodging a laser blast from the Aries, Cassy swung her thermal sword. She connected with the Aries. Suddenly the mobile suit exploded bringing Cassy's Leo down with it. Heero jumped to his feet.
"Cassy!" a strangled cry was ripped from his throat. The cockpit door opened and Heero breathed a small sigh of relief. Cassy clambered out and waved at him with a small grin on her face. She turned to look at the remnants of the destroyed Aries and frowned. Heero watched in horror as the Leo exploded. He was on his feet and rushing down the stairs in seconds. Dr. J was at Cassy's side as soon as the dust settled. Heero arrived just in time to hear Dr. J say the words he had feared since his parents had died.
"There's nothing we can do for her… Take her away..." Tears were streaming down Heero's face as the med techs removed her body before he could touch her.
"You… you killed my sister! My baby sister! And you won't even let me say good bye!" Heero shouted launching himself at Dr. J. A guard threw him back.
"It was an accident," Dr. J said quietly "it was an accident…"
Present Day
"Do you think this means she's still alive?" Duo asked quietly when Heero had finished his story.
"No!" Heero snapped "She's dead! She died along time ago." Duo shook his head with a look of sympathy on his face.
"Then why the hell are we dreaming about her man?" He asked as Heero frowned and took another drink.
"I dunno, but I'm gonna find out." Heero replied. They both jumped at the sound of Heero's cell phone. "It's Quatre." He said after glancing at the screen. "Hello?" Heero slapped a twenty dollar bill on the bar and stood.
"Heero," Quatre's voice sounded tinny, "Trowa and I are headed to New York to talk to you and Duo. It may sound silly but we both had the same disturbing dream." Quatre paused.
"What?" Heero pushed the door open, Duo close behind.
"I know it sounds weird," Heero unlocked the blue Mitsubishi Eclipse that was parked in front of the bar and slid into the driver's seat. He put the phone on speaker and turned the car on. "But the dreams were exactly the same…" Quatre paused and Heero threw the car into drive. As the two brunettes sped down the street Duo glanced at Heero.
"That's kinda funny," He said," Last night Heero and I had the same dream, too." Quatre waited for Duo to continue. "It was of a girl with long brown hair…"
"She was standing in the snow…" Quatre interrupted quietly. Duo looked at Heero in shock. Heero's face was passive but Duo sensed something else.
"You had the same dream." He said flatly. "Call Wufei, we need to get together." Heero hung up the phone abruptly. "Something's going on; we need to figure out what the hell it is."
Five miles off the coast of Australia a private yacht sat with an army of six year old Leo ground mobile suits and Aries air attack units hidden in it belly. A young girl of about seventeen paced back and forth in front of one of the mobile suits.
"Is it ready yet?" She asked irritably. Her long wavy black hair and tan skin betrayed her long line of Spanish heritage.
"We're finishing out last inspection Miss. Delgato." A young officer said saluting the girl. She waved her hand to dismiss him. Marie Delgato smiled.
"Begin Preparations for Operation Ghost." She said placing a hand on the mobile suit in front of her. An older Arabian Officer saluted her.
"Yes ma'am," Rashid said saluting the young girl. Once she was alone Marie sat down on the Mobile suit's foot.
"It's time…" She whispered. "Time for my families honor to be restored…" She smiled again and rested her head on the mobile suit.
