Chapter 3

Several days later, there are numerous reports of heavy combat between REF Soldiers and Invid forces all across the Earth Sphere. Battles and skirmishes erupt in such locations as New York, the Arabian Peninsula, Vietnam, Hawaii, Low Earth Orbit and even the Colonies and the Moon. The citizens of the Earth Sphere Unified Nation become worried that they will find themselves casualties of these frequent battles and skirmishes. Preventer agents and members of the government try to assure the public that they will be safe from the combat of these two forces. Unknown to both the public and the Preventers, a huge armada consisting of REF starships are in wait for an absolution that will only be determined by their nameless Admiral.
Back on the earth in a garage in Brussels, a motorcycle was being constructed. A motorcycle to some, but to a selected few this was the construction of a REF Next Generation Cyclone. A VF-141 Saber II Cyclone to be more precise, armed with the CADS-2 Cyclone Modular Weapon Pod on the left arm and the CADS-1B on the right. Heero Yuy constructs the Cyclone for no reason he could ponder at the moment. Maybe to get in touch with his heritage of REF technology and data that has been imbedded into his DNA. Or that he may use the Cyclone in case of an Invid Attack on Brussels. Whatever the reason, the Cyclone proceeds to its construction for an uncertain future. Just then Duo enters the garage and Heero swiftly reached for a canvas cover to hide his personal project.
"Hey Heero, whatcha' doing?" Duo asked.
"It's none of your understanding." Heero flatly stated.
"None of my- Heero, you could at least tell me whatcha' doing in here." Heero did a deep sigh.
"Alright, if it will keep you quiet. I'm currently constructing a VF-141 Saber II that is normally assigned to Military Specialists. It is armed with a CADS-1B modular weapon which is a sword and built in laser and CADS-2 which is a high tech version of a saw and has a Comptech A-4 Portable Computer. It's suppose to be armed with GR-103 Mini-Missile Launcher and GR-187 Hip Missile Launcher, but the Preventer Armory doesn't currently stock those kinds of weapons." Duo was dumbfounded yet again by Heero Yuy's information. "Do you want me to repeat that information?"
"No, I've got an idea of what it's suppose to be, I think." Then Duo spots other objects on a table near the Cyclone. "Now what do we have here?" On the table were a set of goggles, a pair of distancing binoculars, a pocket knife, a TWR Gallant 1000 and H-95 with Shoulder Stock, Computer Targeting Sight and Flash Suppressor and two hand sized objects with a crystal object in the center of it and necklace string.
"Duo, don't you dare touch those!" Duo picked up one of the hand sized objects with a crystal object and fiddled with it until it projected a tiny, 6 inch 3-D hologram image of Relena Peacecraft.
"So, you still thinking of her huh?" Duo coed and Heero's face flexed in anger.
"If you dare try and-" Duo interrupted Heero's threat.
"Oh and Relena wanted me to give this to you." Duo tosses a piece of paper to Heero and he caught the object. "It's an invite to that Charity Ball tomorrow. You better get ready for it." Duo left before Heero could do anything to him.
'Mental note, test CADS-2 on Duo Maxwell.' Heero continues his construction of the VF-141 Cyclone while planning sweet pain towards Duo Maxwell. Time passes on and it was the time of the Charity Ball and just about every politician was there. Dancing and laughing the night away while keeping a good reputation to the public. Among the group was the ever vigilant Heero Yuy, weaving himself in and out of the crowd like an ever moving shadow that no one paid little or no attention to him, all exempt for a honey blond haired young woman.
"Hello Heero." He cringed at the site of Relena Peacecraft, not sure if he should be afraid or glad of her presents. "How have you been doing lately?"
"Fine." Was all he said. Then a familiar tune reached his ears and he sparks and idea, he would be able to get on Relena's good side with the idea. "Would you like to dance for a while?" Relena was taken aback from Heero's change in mood, but welcomed it for she dreamed of this and many other moments.
"I'd be delighted to obliged." Heero took her hand and they were off to the dance floor. Outside the ball, a Legios of a VAF-8 Alpha and a VBF-2T Beta and a modified VAF-9 Alpha landed. A lone soldier of high rank with Brown hair kept in a military fashion and Cobalt Blue eyes exited the VAF-9. Several guards stopped him, but the soldier showed them his invitation and they moved aside, ignorant to the fact that the invitation was faked. Meanwhile, Heero and Relena were dancing to the melody of the song. Relena enjoying Heero's company and Heero unsure how to approach her when he felt a slight tapping on his shoulder.
"May I cut in?" Heero turned around and his face met with a fist, his stomach felt the blow of a full kick and his chin connected briefly to an upper cut and was thrown into unconciseness. Relena merely gasped at what just happened to Heero and stared at the man.
"Why did you hurt him?" She almost screamed at him, then was shocked to see that the man looked like Heero.
"Back off!!!" The man growled as he delivered a strong punch to her stomach that took her breath away as she collapsed upon the floor and grasping her stomach in pain. The man started to pick Heero up when he felt something in the jacket pocket and drew it out and found a holo-pendant. He just looked at it and snorted as he tossed the pendant over his shoulder and towards Relena's direction. "You might have a better use of that trinket than my brother would." He lifted Heero over his shoulder and proceeded to exit the ball until a security guard blocked his path with a hand gun. "Move from my way." He threatened.
"I cannot let you pass." The man shifted away from the security guard and proceeded to exit when the guard shot at his arm. Seeing him as a threat, the man drew out a TWR Gallant 1000 and fired the weapon at the security guard. The security guard fell into a puddle of still warm blood as the man exited the ball. Outside, the man was greeted by three REF soldiers who saluted him. One of the soldiers spots the bullet wound on the man.
"Admiral, are you alright?" One of the soldiers asked.
"It's nothing major." The Admiral hands Heero to one of the soldiers. "Take him to a medical facility as soon as we return to the fleet."
"Sir, yes sir." The soldiers chanted as they took Heero's body to the VBF-2T. The Admiral jumped to the entry port on the modified VAF-9 Alpha and as soon as they were ready, the two mecha transformed into jet mode and rocketed away from the ball just as soon as Relena rushes out from the ball and calls out his name in sorrow.
"HHEEEERROO!!!!" The call was useless as the mecha basted off into space.
