Synopsis: Gundam Pilot Heero Yuy is strewn across time and space, his thoughts only drawn to the image of a woman the ZERO System conjured during a failed test run. Will time prove to be a space that would keep them apart? Or will he defy the odds that separate them? This is a tale between Heero Yuy and Haruka Morishima.

Chapter 1 - The Shooting Star She Saw

The year was After Colony 197, mobile suits including Gundams were said have faded from existence. With the defeat of Mariemaia and her forces, peace was finally attained between the Earth Sphere Unified Nation and the Colonies. The Preventers, an intelligence division borne out from the remnants of the dismantled military was holding true to their namesake. Wars are being prevented by targeting the source of threat before anything could escalate into a full-scale conflict. This agency acts as the sole line of defense between order and chaos, it was always a step ahead on any possible scenario to avoid bloodshed and the loss of innocent lives. The men and women who place their lives in the line of duty always come from no less than the best military talent available to both Earth and Space. The Preventers also took charge in dismantling all military bases, facilities and installation of the former Alliance and OZ Organization funded by the now defunct Romefeller Foundation.

However, the brightest minds and strongest muscle that the Preventers could muster is nowhere near the talent of the Gundam Pilots from the Colonies. Unsung heroes of the last war, their resilience and tenacity in battle were only matched by their dedication and commitment to their beliefs and ideas. Save for Wufei Chang, previously known as Gundam Pilot 05, he was the sole volunteer and still currently employed with the agency. The four other pilots returned to whatever semblance of a normal life they once considered after the wars. Trowa Barton was reported to be performing with a famous touring circus troupe around the colonies. Duo Maxwell started his own junkyard business in L2 with his partner Hilde Schbeiker. Quatre Winner assumed the leadership of his family's corporation which was vacated when his father died during the war. And lastly, Heero Yuy, the best amongst them, was last seen studying at a high school in one of the colonies around L1.

As months passed, these nameless heroes were already forgotten by the very people who benefited from the peace they have worked hard to achieve. But their commitment towards the maintenance of serenity has never wavered. For beneath the facade of their normal lives, they were doing their part on protecting the fragile peace between the colonies and Earth. They have been in constant communication and regularly contact each other, sharing information and knowledge gathered from various sectors that could affect the balance and stability mankind has just recently experienced.

In one of colonies located at L4, a hidden installation now secretly owned by Winner Enterprises was bustling with activity, though technically, there were only three people within the huge hangar. This was the former facility from which the Wing Gundam Zero and Gundam Sandrock were conceptualized and created. One of the young men, former Gundam Pilot, Quatre Winner could be seen busy managing the robotic servo arms welding the parts of a familiar mobile suit, he was looking intently from the control room to ensure that the project would be completed on schedule. Another figure, this one on the hangar bridge, could be noticed working on the mechanical aspect of the mobile suit's left arm. There was no visible expression from his face, no sign of exhaustion or frustration from what he was doing, Trowa Barton had been a very experienced mechanic prior to piloting his own Gundam Heavy Arms during the war. His mastery on mobile suit maintenance was respected and recognized by the other Gundam pilots. The last person was Heero Yuy, he is currently inside the mobile suit's cockpit working earnestly on the mobile suit's Operating System. He has been incorporating the ZERO system to replace the outdated OS initially installed for the model. The mobile suit they were working on was none other than the unit designated as Wing Gundam.

The Wing Gundam was Heero's original unit, it was abandoned during the Luxembourg invasion when one of its leg mechanisms were disabled due to the fierce battle. The former Romefeller Foundation commandeered the unit and repaired it before Lady Une hijacked the Gundam and launched for outer space during the final battle. In its last recorded participation near the end of the war, Lady Une used the Wing Gundam to shield Treize Khusrenada from the main cannon of battleship Libra. Amongst the space debris salvaged by Duo after the Eve Wars, were the battered remains of the Wing Gundam. It was then delivered discreetly to Quatre. Not soon after, the Mariemaia conflict erupted, however, Quatre had planned on destroying their Gundams by sending them into the sun as an act of support to the newly founded Earth Sphere Unified Nation. A daring and timely interception of the disposal block containing the Gundams led by Quatre himself saved both the Earth and Colonies from succumbing to Mariemeia's army without a fight. With the retrieval of their Gundams and through the combined efforts of the Gundam pilots and their allies were they able to crush the uprising. After ensuring that the Mariemaia threat was over, the pilots then proceeded on self-detonating their respective Gundams. Despite this, Quatre realized the folly of his actions and restored Wing Gundam with plans to keep it hidden in case of emergencies, similar to the Preventer's Tallgeese III.

And now they were nearing completion on a new feature they have incorporated to the Wing Gundam. Plans for a "Fold" Technology were recovered by Quatre from one of the old database originally owned by the scientists who designed the Gundams. It was never made into a realization due to time constraints and eventual manipulation of the scientists to Operation Meteor. Along with the Zero System this Fold Technology were considered as extremely dangerous and pivotal instruments that could alter the outcome of any conflict. The Fold Technology's main concept was for a subject to traverse considerable distance between two pre-determined points within a short period of time. This could be achieved by incorporating the device, a Fold Generator to a mobile suit and plotting a target point. The process is then completed by having the mobile suit defy the existing laws of physics by accelerating fifty times faster than the speed of sound. The Fold Generator is activated upon attaining the required velocity while a hole is created between time-space transit bending or "folding" the source location to the anchor point.

The idea of teleporting between vast distances for fast deployment or immediate withdrawal by the Gundams was a bold and ingenious concept by the Colony Scientists who masterminded the deviation of Operation Meteor. Fold Technology was shelved when they realized that the Pilot's well-being and Mobile Suit's safety could not be guaranteed alongside compromising the existence of the Gundams when necessary field tests were needed to be completed. However, the Gundam Pilots upon discovering the aborted plans for the Fold Generator decided to push through with the project and make it a reality. Quatre surmised that if the Fold Technology is harnessed well, it could be a tool that will hold true on preventing wars and conflicts by enabling them to strike and withdraw immediately from terrorists and other threats. Trowa having a logical and calculating persona gave his support after coming into a conclusion that the benefits outweigh the risks. While Heero was the obvious choice to test pilot aside from providing technical assistance, the stoic young man simply nodded in agreement to Quatre when he was approached and the plan was discussed.

For the past two months, the three of them have been working tirelessly into the project. Quatre would sometimes be excused due to his responsibilities as head of Winner Enterprises. During this time, Duo would occasionally fill in for Quatre to ensure the planned deadline is met. On Trowa's part, the circus troupe was fortunately within the boundaries of L4, he will take a break and rejoin performances for a day or two. While Heero stayed in and took a leave from his classes, the former pilot of Wing Gundam Zero was admittedly more at ease when working on related fields to his former line of work as a soldier. Their efforts have been rewarded, as they were two weeks ahead of schedule. In anticipation of the generator's completion, Quatre decided to adjust the testing to an earlier date. So it was, five more days from now, they will be making the first field test of the Fold Generator.

"This is Trowa, all checks on the Gundanium plating has been completed. Clear on my end." Looking at Quatre, Trowa gave the thumbs up signal from the hangar bridge.

"Hey there Quatre, reactor output seems to be normal, all systems are green." Duo chimed before giving him a wink.

Quatre smiled back at Duo, the braided pilot was standing beside him inside the control center, he made sure to be present and was more than willing to provide them an additional set of hands during their initial launch.

The long awaited day has finally arrived, this would be the culmination of all the hard work and effort they have poured in for the project. A successful run would be the ground break to more possibilities and open up new horizons for the usage of such a technology. While a failure or setback would only mean a return to the drawing boards, resulting to time, resource and effort wasted. The one good thing though was that with the peace currently being enjoyed by both Earth and the Colonies, there were no immediate threats similar to the past war that required their full and immediate attention.

"Heero? What's your status?" The blonde haired former pilot of Sandrock asked over the intercom, looking earnestly at the Wing Gundam's cockpit.

"Quatre... ZERO System compatibility rate is now at 100%, onboard systems are all set. Mission control, give the queue for launch." With that, Heero closed the hatch, clearly waiting for his go signal.

"Trowa please open the bay doors."

"Affirmative on the request, bay doors is now being opened."

The sound of two massive doors sliding from opposite sides was heard across the control room, as if on queue, an array of lights then began to illuminate the runway, which was the sole exit point from the hangar. After ensuring that the doors are all open, Quatre turned to the bridge comm line.

"Heero, you are clear for takeoff."

"Roger that, Wing Gundam... Launching." Heero responded through the commlink, the steady hissing of Wing Gundam's engine became a growl after setting his thruster output to maximum.

It was then that a loud boom akin to the detonation of explosives shuddered all over the hangar. While in Neo-Bird mode, Wing Gundam had exited the hangar in the blink of an eye. Duo immediately started monitoring the mobile suit's systems through his screen. While Quatre looked worriedly on the gigantic display showing the Wing Gundam by patching in live feeds from external cameras attached to the mobile suit. Trowa had already closed the bay doors and was already on his terminal inside the control room when Quatre started the next phase of the test.

"Heero, once you hit Mach 45 initiate the Fold Generator. It should generate the spacial hole at Mach 50."

"Copy that, Quatre."

"Wing Gundam is already at Mach 25." Duo gave an update looking intently at the screen.

"All systems are good. Heero, increase thruster output past safety threshold." Trowa patched through the commlink.

"Safeties are now disengaged, Trowa." Heero confirmed.

"Guys, Wing Gundam is now at Mach 35." Another update from Duo, the air in the room was now tensed, the speed and velocity they were working with, could prove to be fatal to Heero as there was the possibility of burning out even if the mobile suit was made of Gundanium.

"Don't forget to release the coolants when you reach 45." Quatre reminded Heero after checking Duo's screen and noticing that Wing Gundam is already at Mach 40.

"Activating coolants at 4...3...2...1..." Heero counted before pushing the button releasing a spray of cool air from the exhaust vents.

"Mach 45!" Duo shouted.

"Coolants have been activated." Trowa replied maintaining his calm voce, though there was now a hint of worry on his lone visible eye.

"Initiating Fold Generator." Heero uttered from the Wing Gundam as the mobile suit accelerated even faster nearing its goal.

"48!" Duo's update rang across the control room, he was now looking intently at Quatre. "All systems are still A-ok."

"Fold Generator is now active."

The Wing Gundam is then bathed by a bluish stream of energy, similar to the intense luster of lightning. The Fold Generator then began conjuring a time-space transit hole redirected from five mirror points on the mobile suit, two in the arms, two more in the legs and a main one from the torso. The luminosity of the energies dispersed was blinding, even with protective goggles the three Gundam pilots monitoring their teammate were unable to view the monitor displays.

A steady beeping was the only notice from Duo's console, signaling that Wing Gundam is now passing the target velocity.

"50!"

A low but imploding sound was initially heard before a sonic boom shook the screen displays, similar to a low and deep rumble of a gigantic base drum. External monitoring cameras installed to the Wing Gundam were knocked out simultaneously. And then a shining brightness comparable to an exploding star filled the displays, before everything dissipated to the dark nothingness of space.

Wing Gundam was gone.

Everything seemed like a blur, upon entering Mach 50, the Wing Gundam's Fold Generator activated and created the spatial transit hole. It was very similar to a black hole, wave after wave of blue and dark electricity seemed to flow around it, sucking anything in space as even light was incapable of escaping from its grasp. ZERO System initialized and began working in conjunction with the Fold Generator to ensure the mobile suit will exit through another spatial transit hole designating the target location point.

However, as the Wing Gundam was covered by the blinding luminescence, the ZERO System began feeding data to Heero's mind, providing options and suggestions to ensure he was piloting the mobile suit with accuracy to meet its objective. As the feeds surged through him, his subconscious started receiving images of a young woman who wore a headband with long dark raven hair that was wavy at its ends. Her eyes were as blue as the ocean, while her face was painted with a mischievous smile. 'She's beautiful', he thought. However, he could not understand the ZERO System for transmitting these images to him. Heero could see the girl wearing what seemed to be a school uniform while sitting in front of a fountain. He next saw her sleeping above a table with the last streaks of sunlight bathing her pretty face with a warm glow. Another image appeared, this time she was wearing a two-piece swimsuit running excitedly while splashing water to someone else. The next image showed her crying, tears streaming down from those eyes reminiscent to the bright blueness of earth's sky. It was followed by another image, then another and then another.

He was already feeling both of his eyes getting heavy, as the influx of images stormed his mind.

'What are you trying to tell me ZERO?' His subconscious inquired.

The jolts that struck the Wing Gundam returned him to his consciousness, a barrage of energy was clouding the path they have taken as continuous streaks of lightning lanced through the mobile suit. Torrents from a still undefined cosmic power rammed the Neo-Bird transformation of the Wing Gundam. Heero was still undeterred even though he feels a part of him wondered if he'll be able to reach the exit of what seemed to be an endless tunnel. However, a nav-point suddenly appeared from his console radar grid, conveying his appreciation to the ZERO System, he concluded that they were already near the end of the spatial transit hole as he then saw a blinding light taking shape from a distance.

"ZERO show me the way." He uttered, looking sternly at what he believes was the exit.

As the Wing Gundam passed through the light, it was rocked by various forces and the cockpit was shuddering frequently. One such jolt caused him to hit the cockpit's left frame, fortunately, the brunt of the impact was absorbed by his headgear. However, the collision was enough for him to lose his consciousness.

His eyes beginning to close, a myriad of images was again fed by the ZERO System to his subconscious. 'It's that girl, again. With a smile, curled mischievously at its end... I... don't understand it... ZERO...'

Passing out, Heero Yuy didn't witness the changes from his surrounding as Wing Gundam cleared the Spatial Transit Hole.

He was awakened by the sound of the ZERO System activating his console panel, a bright yellow light enveloped the cockpit while a steady beeping was announcing his screen displays going online. Heero wondered for a moment the reason he was inside the mobile suit before remembering the trial run they conducted to check if the Fold Generator was working fine. Removing his protective headgear, he checked his head immediately if there were lumps or signs of bleeding. Relieved to find nothing, he turned his attention to the ZERO System and punched in the command to verify his current location.

'The coordinates are exactly right', looking at the front monitor screen, he was pleased at the sight that stood before him. 'Right on queue, I'm on the far side of the moon. I'd better radio, Quatre.'

"This is Heero from the Wing Gundam, I have successfully reached the destination point, Tango Zulu Alpha Three-Six-Niner. Command, please confirm."

Silence.

"Command, please verify, I'm at point, Tango Zulu Alpha Three-Six-Niner."

Silence.

'The radio seems to be working fine. I better try the emergency channel Trowa setup just in case.'

Adjusting his frequency, Heero made another dispatch.

"Command Control Golf Alpha, do you read me? This is Heero, I've switched to the secondary emergency channel."

Still silence.

'This is strange.'

"Quatre, it's Heero, do you copy?"

Nothing.

'Better make a systems check for the moment.' As he scanned for any anomalies, Heero noted that the Wing Gundam's reactor was running low on charge, probably due to the energy dissipated when the Fold Generator was activated. External cameras installed to provide real-time feed to Command Central were destroyed. Good thing though, the Gundanium plating held up pretty well despite placing the mobile suit at speeds exceeding three times its normal threshold. He was still unsure on the status of his commlink equipment though, as he was unable to complete a dispatch to the other pilots. The Gundam headpiece, which housed the main sensor and provides the display feeds for his console monitors, seems unharmed as he was able to scan and view his immediate surrounding without any difficulties.

'Only logical course of action right now is to check the lunar base.' Plotting a course to the said location, he was surprised to find nothing upon reaching the target destination within a quarter of an hour. Flicking a couple of switches, Heero reverted to manual piloting and made a few circles around the lunar base's known location. Still unable to find anything, he contemplated on either pushing for the L1 or L4 Colony Clusters but decided against it upon remembering the fusion reactor's charge levels.

'That leaves a re-entry to Earth.'

Considering the Gundam's current state, he immediately made the trajectory calculations and atmospheric computations from his location. Firing his boosters, the mobile suit blasted towards Earth before encountering a weird looking weather satellite, drifting in orbit. Heero, unfamiliar with the design, approached the satellite as he noticed an unfamiliar insignia marked on its hull. Stars arrayed in a blue rectangle placed on the upper left hand of another rectangle of red and white stripes. Remembering a lecture from history class, he determined that it was the flag of the United States of America. One of the superpowers of Earth before the Alliance was conceptualized. Checking the satellite closer, he noticed that it was still operating under perfect working condition. Deciding to hack the satellite, he made sure that his Gundanium plating was actively working before his hands rapidly typed from his console, it only took him around five minutes to download data from the Satellite and the information he received was very surprising if not disturbing.

The most recent data logs from the satellite showed September 25, 2011. And information stored from its databank is nowhere earlier than 2001 A.D.

'Calendar year A.D. or Anno Domini... That's around a thousand years prior to colonization. Wait a sec...' He mused, before checking Wing Gundam's own date log, fully expecting 197 A.C. to appear on his display. His brows furrowed slightly when no date was generated on his Gundam's logs, only dashes appearing in place of what should have been the current date. Looking at the satellite again and determining it was not a relic, he punched in another dispatch to his radio.

"Command, Quatre, please confirm."

Still there was no response.

Not wishing to compromise his mission and endanger his mobile suit's current status, he decided to take action. Plotting a course for Japan, he remembered that Quatre has a resource stash and a secret hangar located there. Noticing his reactor levels have taken another drop, he prepped for re-entry. Ensuring the Gundanium plating would hold up well to avoid detection, he pushed forward as the mobile suit began its descent to Earth's atmosphere. Releasing a spray of coolants when the Wing Gundam's sensors detected the rise in temperature, his re-entry was skillfully maneuvered as heat levels were stabilized not long after.

'It looks like it's already night time here.'

After making another quick check to his reactor, he decided to land near a densely patch of trees overlying the province of Kibitou. According to the coordinates, one of Quatre's supply bases should be nearby.

She was still thinking lazily about the things that transpired today after shopping with her friend when she saw a passing light appear under the starless sky. Smiling, the young woman's cerulean eyes gleamed and sparkled at the sight, 'a shooting star' she thought.

Lately, there seems to have been a ceasefire from the attention she was showered by her admirers in the campus. It was not that she disliked losing the focus on such matters, she rather welcomed it as she has not yet found anyone that could keep her attention. Also, she hadn't even paid enough thought on the idea of having a relationship either. Looking back at the shooting star, she smiled again before whispering, "I wish to meet someone very interesting."

The young lady, Haruka Morishima, breathes in the night air then sighed deeply before closing the windows of her room.

'Tomorrow might be a good day.'

Author's notes:

Hello! This is my first attempt to make a fanfic. Being a long time fan of Gundam Wing, I have appreciated all the alternate straight pairings other writers have created involving Heero. After watching Amagami SS, the question of "What could possibly happen, if Heero was placed in Kibitou Academy?" crossed my mind. From there, I decided to attempt pairing him off to Haruka Morishima, being my favorite character on that Anime. I hope you enjoy the story.

Please do not hesitate to reply or send a review. Criticisms whether it be constructive or destructive is appreciated. I believe it would help me gain a better approach on completing the story. Thanks!
