(I took advantage of my death by taking a month long vacation yay... apparently the gundam boys did not like their arch enemy writing my fanfiction and Athren didn't want his father to have that much power, they built a time machine, went stopped my death... and my vacation... so I am back with all of you people... a good thing too... I looked at the draft for their version of chapter 6 and according to them Treize comes along destroys the Deathscythe and becomes the leader of the Archangel and then recreates the events of the eve wars...Alas Heero and Athren still won't let me have their anime)

C.E. 70

Kira floated in shock as Duo and Mu seemed to have entered a stare down

"Since you happen to know so much about the suits inner workings I'll assume that you are the pilot" Mu finally said "and that you're a coordinator as well"

"Wait a second you have a mobile suit and you didn't Do anything?" apparently Kira had snapped out of his trance. Duo kept his focus on Mu as he replied

"I have my reasons for not joining the fight, one of those reasons being that I don't know which side I'd be willing to join, and unlike mister great protector over here" he gestured to Kira "my friends aren't being held hostage therefore forcing me to fight... now if you'll excuse me I have an O.S. To rewrite"

before Mu could reply Natarl's voice came over the intercom saying

"All hands get ready to launch" sighing Duo got up easily moving Mu out of the way and, closing the hatch, he locked his suit

"Well let's get a move on and see if we can get anything useful" he mumbled

"Uh...hey!" Mu exclaimed grabbing Duo's shoulder; Duo in turn glared at the man

"What" he growled

"Where did that suit come from?" Mu asked. Duo surprisingly gave a cheeky grin and said
"I stole it"

Meanwhile out in space

Flying well within the Archangels radar range, though it didn't matter since it was made of Gundanium, was a Mobile Suit. Inside was a rather worried pilot. why is he worried you ask? Because Duo hadn't contacted him yet Stupid braided baka! Where the heck is he! Why is he not answering? Did he not get the message? Why is he here? And if he's here does that mean the others are too? Sighing the brown haired youth checked his radar and cross referenced it with the map he obtained from the Artemis they are heading to the debris belt?

Back in the Archangel

"That water over. Are you serious?" Kira shouted

"There are close to a hundred million tons of ice frozen over on it" Natarle explained

"You're kidding! You saw it for yourself Natarle, that plant is where hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives and yet you-"

"It's also our only source of water" Duo said at the same time Murrue said

"That's the only source of water we've been able to locate"there was a pause as Murrue and Duo looked at each other in slight surprise Mu took it from there.

"Hey nobody's jumping for joy over this" he said "I don't hear folks shouting hurray water"

"Lieutenant La Flaga" Kira whispered

"Nobody want's to step onto that place if it could be helped; but it can't be helped, listen up we're alive guys and if we have to we'll do what it takes so we can continue to live"

a while later

"You really have a pension for picking up things that have been left behind" Natarle commented

"Okay I'm opening it" Merdock said before Kira could reply. Duo took a peek seeing as whatever Kira brought on board was bound to be interesting. The air lock hissed and the strangest pink thing started flew out shouting "Harro" the thing flew strait into Duo's face (much to the amusement of the rest of the crew)

"What the-" Duo started but was cut off by a sweet young voice saying

"Thank you I appreciate your assistance" Taking the Pink thing out of his face Duo looked over to see a girl with pink hair? Great now I'm seeing things as she floated passed the group she made a shocked face and said "oh how rude" trying to turn in mid air proved difficult until Kira helped her "thank you" she said. For some reason Duo couldn't help but feel like he was in the presence of a rather pink haired Relena

"Uh... no problem" Kira said nervously great now the kid is star struck pushing that thought down Duo noticed the girls reaction to the uniform

"Oh my" she said putting her hand on her face "it's pretty obvious this isn't a ZAFT ship" that brought a reaction out of everyone honestly were they expecting every one they met to be with the earth forces

Another while later

Duo was wandering... okay so he had a destination but he was taking his time about it

"Why hello there" Duo turned around to notice the pink haired girl from before.

"What are you doing out here miss..." Duo asked, after all it was only nice to be polite and don't let it be said that Duo Maxwell was never nice to a girl

"Oh how rude of me" the girl said "My name is Lacus Clyne" Lacus smiled and then said "I'm sorry to bother you but I did ask before I let myself out" Duo raised an eyebrow he was pretty sure that Mu had locked the door, he noticed the bouncing pink thing at Lacus's side no it couldn't be

"Well" he said shaking off that thought "What can I do for you"

"Oh well if its not to much trouble could you tell me where I could find some water... I'm awfully thirsty" Duo smirked this girl was cute. If she was a few years older (and he wasn't married) Duo might have asked her out. Giving her his arm in the gentlemanly fashion that Quatre had taught him Duo said

"Allow me my lady"

"My that's very kind of you Mister..."

"Duo Maxwell and thank you I'm a perfect gentleman when I want to be... or at least that's what my wife says" Lacus giggled

"You don't know that for certain" a familiar voice drifted from the cafeteria what was that girl's name Flow? Flew?Flea? Flay? Yeah that was it "you can't tell what coordinator is capable of just by looking at them What if they happen to be really strong... right?" at this point Lacus decided to intervene

"My who is this really strong person you're talking about?" she said before Duo could do anything oh well "Oh my I apologies if I caused a commotion; I was just thirsty that's all" Lacus said "and please don't laugh when I I tell you this... I'm feeling really hungry as well" Duo couldn't contain a snort of amusement, Kira's face was so funny, oddly enough though no one noticed him (they were too focused on Lacus) "would this be considered the dinning room?" she continued on innocently "I'd be very grateful for a bite to eat"

"Uh..hey" Kira almost shouted "hold on a minute"

"Why wouldn't they lock her room" Kuzzy wondered

"This is nuts. Who would let someone from ZAFT wonder on her own?" Flay asked disgusted

"But I didn't mean to leave without permission I even called out so that one of you could hear me" she proved this by saying "My I leave this room?" turning back to flay she said "honest I asked three times... and then I ran into mister Maxwell here and he escorted me he himself so I didn't see a problem" there was a pause Duo leaned against the doorway and listened lets see what happens "let me assure you that I am not with ZAFT, ZAFT is the name of the forces, you see it actually stands for Zodiac Alliance of Freedom-"

"That makes no difference" Flay cut her off "you're still one of those coordinators"

"There is a significant difference" Lacus replied calmly "you're right of course I am not a natural like you , But I don't belong to the forces, believe me; and you're not with the forces either are you? So if you think about it you and I are the same. Please let me introduce myself, my name is-"

"No stop it!" Flay interrupted again "Just keep you're distance!"

"Huh?"

"You must be nuts, why should I shake hands with somebody like you? I don't any of you coordinators acting friendly with me!"

The next day

"Hey Captain there's something I need show you " Mu asked Murrue she blinked and then nodded telling Natarle that she had the bridge. They had just had the discussion with the advanced fleet and were therefore relived at having made it this far so why was it that Mu sounded so urgent? They made their way to the second hanger, Murrue was wondering what was going on, as soon as they entered she gasped; standing in the middle of the bay was a mobile suit colored black and white and just a little bigger than the Strike.

"How?" she wondered

"You know that Duo kid? Apparently this is his suit" Murrue looked at Mu in astonishment

"But... that's impossible!" she exclaimed

"Apparently not"

"What do's this mean?"

"It means we have another fighter on our side... if we can persuade him"

"How did you even find out about something like this?"

"I'm suspicious" Mu shrugged

"Lieutenant Murrue Ramius Please report to the bridge" Natarl's voice came over the intercom.

Preview for chapter 7

"We are all going to die if you don't get out there and help us"

"I'm not gonna join a fight if I don't know which side I'm on!"

"Why is it every one thinks I'm a coordinator!"

Well well well I changed the previews up a bit and now you will have to wait again for the next chapter I know I made you wait too long for the this one I'll be faster next time... now I noticed that I haven't been getting reviews lately so I wrote this chapter to remedy that. Review please!
