*runs off*
*****************
Sun gleamed down through the closed shades of white curtains. Its golden light barrowing past the barriers and onto the face of an angel. Soon her eyes were squinting before revealing crystalline blue orbs of innocence. A yawn escaped her light pink lips and closed.
As soon as she was wide-awake, she threw off her covers and prepared for
the upcoming day. Today would be the day. The day she would leave Earth
and go to outer space. From that knowledge, a smile graced her lips and
she picked up her pace even faster without an utterance.
When the young teenager put her brush away from combing her semi-damp hair,
she threw over a quick glance at her cat. Her guardian: Luna. The royal
advisor was still sleeping soundly on the comforters, which was messily strewn around from the previous night.
(It'll surely be different starting from today. I can feel it.) grinned the girl.
"Usagi! Usagi, honey get up. Today is..." Ikuko knocked on the door before entering and was gazing at the semi-empty bed of where her daughter slept.
"I'm ready," Usagi grinned as she draped over a duffle bag while carrying another.
"You're…already up..." Ikuko said in awe.
"I was motivated," Usagi lightly chuckled and stepped pass the baffled woman.
"Wish I could get you that motivated to go to school someday," Ikuko joked before closing the door behind her.
***************
*SHUTTLE*
***************
"It really hasn't been that long ago since we've fought in the war again, has it?" wondered Duo out loud.
"It depends on how you look at it," Quatre shrugged.
"What do you think?" Duo inquired.
"To me, I believe it wasn't that long because we've fought in the war. To others, whether they fought or not, they may agree as well or they may argue with us on that point of view." the blond answered calmly.
"How about you guys?" Duo repeated his question.
"......"
"Awww...come on," Duo said in a sing-song voice.
"Then why don't you tell us, braided baka," Wufei snorted.
Duo glimpsed out the window and gazed at the endless amount of stars. His cobalt blue eyes dimmed slightly before it cleared away and he let out a smirk on his always grinning face.
"It's actually quite a long time ago since we've fought," Duo quietly answered, his face taking on a serious expression.
Quatre took notice of this and blinked in astonishment at realizing this side of Duo. Sure Duo had his moments when he'd leave his facetious attitude and become aloof and quite straightforward like the other guys. However, that side of him would only come when absolutely needed such as in tough situations, which was hardly. Now here he was, showing that side of him again.
"And why is that, Duo?" Quatre conversed.
"*sigh*...."Duo glanced at Quatre before glimpsing outside at the window and then turned back to the blond but this time with a grand smile on his face.

"Guess it's because there's no more of those Oz soldiers running around or those Leos to shoot down. But hey, we're getting our Gundams back. And soon Shinigami will rise again!" Duo laughed and placed his arms behind his head and leaned against the back of his chair staring off to the ceiling.
(Somehow, I doubt you Duo, somehow I do...) Quatre noted.
*************
"Approaching new Colony 5.2" the pilot announced from the cockpit.
"Well you guys this it. Our missions are waiting for us," Duo heaved a big sigh as he gazed out the window.
"Hmm...it doesn't look all that different from the old colony," frowned Wufei as he bent his head to gaze out the small window.
"Well no one would really want to overdo themselves on colonies, Wu-man," Duo rolled his eyes.
Duo received a bunch of skeptical faces.
"Ohh, come on you guys, most of us were raised on colonies and you don't know?" Duo dryly spat out with sarcasm.
"Enlighten us then, Duo," Quatre sighed as he leaned back on his chair.
"It's pretty obvious. Since the first war between the Colonies and Earth, a lot of machines were created for the art of war. Leo's and Mobile Dolls just trampled around space and colonies causing disaster to homes that eventually people got the idea that no one should really make it too flashy or decorative in hopes that the Leos and MDs would pass by them. Either that or too much money is wasted on repairs and food and the hiring of security." Duo
explained with a huge grin.
The others groaned at his explanation, they should've seen it coming.
As they all settled back down into their seats and buckled up, the shuttle began to descend. The hatch to the Colony opened up like a mouth and as the shuttle lowered itself, bright lights turned on and made a runway course. Machines and other mechanical devices latched itself on the vehicle. As the humming of the engine died down, everyone unbuckled and got up.
"Let's go, shall we?" Quatre motioned outside.
"Hm…" Hiiro agreed and strolled away alongside Trowa.
"Yeah, let's go…" Duo nodded.
****************
The shuttle lowered itself into the port and as soon as the engine died down, everyone got up and filed out of the door. One of these was a sixteen-year-old female with long golden hair. In her arms, she carried a pink and white stuffed animal, which helped make her appear so innocent and sweet just as she should be. As soon as her feet touched the outside of the shuttle, a cool wind settled around her and indistinct noise blasted around from left to right.
Her crystalline blue eyes surveyed the crowd, hoping in some small part that one of them could be her long time friend from the past. However, only foreign appearances came to be. So shrugging it off, she set off to retrieve her bags.
*******************
Back at Colony L5.2
*******************
"So where is everyone? I thought we'd meet them over here?" Duo interrogated
as he flopped down on a chair.
"They'll be here, we only just arrived you know," Wufei drolled.
"Yes, so just calm down," Quatre politely requested as he stood beside the window.
"Welcome, pilots. The doctors will be here momentarily," Milliardo greeted as he
entered the room.
"Hey there, Count!" Duo grinned.
"Please, just Milliardo will do Duo. I'm not the Count or Zechs for the time being," Milliardo waved it away as he sat himself on a plush armchair behind the mahogany table.
"The mission?" Trowa voiced in.
"Hm. I might as well talk about some form of the mission before the doctors get here, right? Very well then," Milliardo opened up a folder inside a locked drawer and opened it.
The five pilots gathered themselves around the table and intensely studied its documents as their old friend as well as old foe gave them the details.
"This is Colony L5.2. A newly structured one, which was worked on since the destruction of the old. Shaped just like the previous with slightly new modifications in certain parts as well as newly structured buildings. Aside from that, there is a new organization still being formed within this colony's walls. I still haven't managed to gather up any name of it, however, I am sure that the time of their acknowledgement draws near with each passing day. And we need you five to help stop that. This is why we have the Gundams rebuilt.
Now, I've done some research work and found out that their base could be located
somewhere between Sectors 12 to Sector 32. I hope that that if and when you find the base, none of you will need to use your Gundams to destroy them," Milliardo informed them as he pointed to the blueprints of the colony.
"Then why have them rebuilt?" Hiiro coldly put in.
"That, my friend, is why we have been summoned." a familiar old voice interrupted.
"Dr. J," Hiiro nodded to the old man who came in alongside four others.
"After this meeting, us three will be leaving. We're only here to tell you a few specifics on why you're here and the use for the Gundams," Dr. H stated.
"Then tell us," Duo pressed.
"You are all here for two things. To stop a possible war and to rescue a hostage," Dr. S said.
"We know a little about the war but even less about the hostage situation. Tell us about that," Quatre pointed out.
"Ahh yes, well you'll need to track down this new organization. It is the main goal for the missions. As for the captured victim, I'm sure you'll find the victim and bring the person in. You see, whenever we get close to finding the hostage, they move immediately to a new location. But we're quite sure that this Colony is where their base is set up from the very beginning," Milliardo spoke up.
"Hmm…any names? Pictures?" Hiiro questioned.
"No names, although we do have a brief description of the hostage," Dr. G informed them.
"And what of the Gundams? Why have they been rebuilt?" Hiiro added.
"The Gundams are there for just in case a war will result from all of this. Instead of waiting around for it, we figured we might as well jump into having them all rebuilt. Also, they'll be useful because this new organization have rebuilt the Leos and other Mobile Dolls." Dr. J stated.
"Tell us about the hostage," Trowa brought up.
"Very well..."from there the doctors began to speak.
*************
Back to Usagi
*************
Blond hair trailed out behind her, artificial wind catching it in the air and from the light it made her hair appear golden as the sun. Her porcelain skin and crystalline blue eyes only added to her beauty, catching the attention of most of the pedestrians out in the street. Their eyes gazing at her form, in awe at the wondrous sight of a goddess or an angel.
At the lingering eyes, the girl only lightly blushed and hurried on. After all the years she spent fighting the evil terrorizing Earth, she never clearly paid attention to what others have really thought about her. The only train of thought that entered her mind were either on Mamoru, Duo, her family, or her friends with a touch of academics. Never the strangers she spent around trying to get through in the morning or after school.
As her feet touched the other side of the street, Usagi hurried on trying to reach the site that she has longed to visit: the old orphanage.
Once she got there, the golden haired teenager noticed that all the ruins have disappeared
only to leave an empty lot. She breathed in a sigh of relief as she recognized the old tree. For a moment, for the merest second Usagi believed it disappeared. Immediately, the blond went up to it and rested her head against the trunk.
"Colony L2, my home...with you..." Usagi whispered under her breath as she took out the old picture.
Gazing at it, she let her thoughts fly off into the past.
"Duo, please remember our promise."
The wind tore through the sky and the rustle of leaves sounded out. A few fallen leaves
sailed through the air and around the blond teenager who gazed upwards to the artificial
sky above her.

Back at Colony
L5.2
**************
"So that's it?" Duo wanted to make sure that was all that they had to do in the mission.
"Yes," Dr. O nodded his head.
"Any questions?" Dr. J added.
"I have one. Where are the gundams stationed at?" Wufei inquired.
"In the hanger of this building," answered Dr. J.
"Which is where Dr. J and I will be staying in," added Dr. G.
"I shall be in Colony L2,"Dr. H informed them as he began making his way toward the door.
"So we'll be splitting up?" Quatre looked around the room.
"Seems that way. Some of us will be staying here working on a way to infiltrate the new organization's base while the other group will be looking for a way to find this mystery person," Milliardo nodded in assent.
"So who's going to go and who's going to stay? For all we know that person could actually be in this Colony also," Wufei grumbled.
"I'll help find the person, if no one minds," Quatre spoke up.
"I'll go with Q-man," Duo grinned, "Who knows? Maybe this person could actually be a babe!"
"Anyone else?" Milliardo asked.
"Infiltration." Hiiro shook his head at declining the offer.
Trowa didn't say anything as he moved to be by Hiiro's side.
"Hmph. For all I know, the braided baka's right at saving an onna. I will not be wasting my time saving some weakling. I'll be with Yuy." Wufei grunted.
"Very well then, it looks like it's only you and Duo, Quatre," Milliardo nodded toward them.
"Yes," Quatre nodded in understanding.
"I suggest you go with Dr. H. He may have a clue as to where they're keeping this person in hiding for the moment. It could be a valuable lead," hinted Dr. S who was still in the room.
"Yeah, let's go!" Duo grinned as he took Quatre's sleeve and pulled him out of the room.
"Eager, isn't he?" Milliardo chuckled.
"Or just eager to get this over with," Trowa mumbled.
"Did you say anything?" Milliardo turned toward the silent boy.
"...."
"Hn..."
**************
"Dr. H! Dr. H!" Duo ran through the hallway, trying to catch up to the old oily black haired man with the plump round face and maker of Sandrock. At the sound of his name being called out, by the Deathscythe pilot, he stopped to wait for them to catch up. While waiting, he began to tug at his thin mustache absently.
"Doctor!" Duo slowed to a stop and began panting while Quatre walked over in a calm manner
and greeted the doctor with a small smile.
"It's a pleasure to see you again, doctor," Quatre bowed slightly to his elder and old mentor that helped with the creation of his dear Gundam.
"Quatre Winner..."Dr. H grinned.
"We're sorry to bother you by postponing your flight even longer. However, my companion and I would like to ask you if you had any leads as to where they're keeping this hostage," Quatre wondered.
"Ahh, I see you've settled the manner of who's going to do what. Well then, I would like you
to accompany me to Colony L2,"Dr. H said before turning around and walking away from the pair.
"Right now?!" Duo yelled out.
"Right now," Dr. H answered with a low chuckle of amusement.
"Awww man, we just got here..."Duo whined before straightening up and running off to
retrieve his bag.
"You don't have to hurry all the time, Duo!" Quatre shouted after him but failed to be heard.
(That Duo...) Quatre sighed within himself before walking off to his temporary quarters.
*********
"Oooh! Peanuts," Duo began opening the sealed bag.
"We didn't even leave yet Duo and you're eating…" Quatre sighed.
"Hey! We didn't eat yet," Duo shot back.
"That's because we had that big meal back at the mansion," Quatre recollected.
"Yeah well...it was hours ago and I'm hungry now," Duo pouted and plopped a peanut inside
his mouth.
"So doctor, is the hostage victim in Colony L2?"Quatre conversed.
"It's possible, the last time I was there some of the soldiers for the new organization were there keeping something hidden from public eye," Dr. H nodded.
"So we're going to go there to make sure?" Duo prompted.
"That's right," Dr. H nodded in answer.
"Well we have something," Quatre smiled and leaned his head back, beginning to relax the
tension that was beginning to build up inside of him.
"I can't wait to get there, it's been awhile since I visited my old hometown," Duo grinned.
"Oh yeah, L2 was your hometown as I understand, right Duo?" Quatre recalled.
"Yeah, it is…" Duo chirped.
"Must be great to see it again," Quatre wistfully sighed.
"Sure is," Duo said turning his head to Quatre's way but noticed that the young Arabian boy
was fast asleep.
***********
Back with
Usagi in
Colony L2
***********
Usagi was walking along in the sidewalk, gazing and reminiscing in past memories of the days she spent in the Colony with Duo and the church. It was so tranquil back then but now as she looks at everything, it's all in the past and everything she held dear were now gone. Oz. Why did they have to break the orphanage like that? Why? What did it ever do to them?
Just as the light turned green and signaled the people to cross, Usagi noticed some odd characters walking around the corner of an alley with a hooded figure.
(That's weird, it's not too dark nor too bright today. Why wear a hood and those
two men were soldiers. Hmm..)Usagi narrowed her eyes in suspicion as she crossed the street and began to track that group.
As the girl drew closer, she pressed her back against the wall and appeared inconspicuous by the citizens. When they weren't looking, she tried to be discreet as she gazed around the corner and noticed they weren't there. Only an empty alleyway: no doors or anything of the sort. Just a concrete dead end with no stacks of boxes to make it possible to climb over.
Just as she was about to leave again, strong arms grabbed at her shoulders. With a startled gasp, Usagi looked up to have a pair of dark green eyes gazing down at her.
"Seems that we had a curious kitten in our midst," the man's deep voice was filled with anger.
"Me? N-not at all," Usagi trembled.
"Hmm...I think you're lying," he narrowed his eyes as it bore into hers.
"We better take her in before she spills on us," another man suggested from around the corner.
(How did that happen? There was no entrance...) Usagi wondered.
"Yes, let's..."the man pulled her off the wall and around the corner with a rough push once coast was clear.
"Demo…" Usagi began.
"Go!" he barked.
Usagi complied and followed the other soldier who just spoke up a few seconds ago. As she gazed around the barren alley, the man in front of her pushed against a thick red brick wall and it parted away for them as a secret passage way.

(No wonder, it was hidden...)Usagi noted as she followed the man inside as she was pushed in there.
*************
Stepping down the dimly lit stairs, her heart pounded inside of her. What were they going to do once inside? Would they torture her? Interrogate her? Maybe just let her go? No, they wouldn't let her go. She knew too much. Could it be possible they'd kill her?
(No Usagi, they can't kill you. Don't think that way.) Usagi berated herself.
"Get in," the green eyed man gruffly ordered as they approached a cell door in the darkness.
"Demo..."Usagi began once more to plead to them to let her go.
"Go!" the man shouted more in anger as he opened the door and pushed her inside, sending
her sprawled in the ground with a thump.
As the door slammed shut, Usagi bowed her head and studied the dirty ground filled with dusts. But as she studied the area more closely, she noticed she wasn't alone. There were several marks of footprints in here. Raising her head, she looked around the room and finally spotted a figure in the farthest corner. A person who wore a hood around her/his face.
"Hello," Usagi greeted with a small strained smile.
"Are you here in imprisonment as well?" the figure asked.
"It seems that way, I sort of grew curious and wanted to know where that group of people were going," Usagi muttered.
"Your curiosity just got you in deep trouble. This is a new organization, if a person found out about it they'll be tracked down until found and taken in. I was the first to find out about them, therefore, I ended up here. I knew too much..." the figure explained his/her dilemma.
"Why don't you show me who you are?" Usagi inquired.
After a few moments, the figure reluctantly agreed and moved to get up and finally drew closer to the small limited amount of light inside of the cell. Slowly, the person removed its hood and revealed itself. At that moment, Usagi drew in a sharp breath and her eyes widened in recognition.
Before her was a still beautiful woman with long silver-lavender hair done up in a messily clad hairstyle of odangoes. Her figure was tall and slim with an aura of royalty radiating out but now with a hint of caution. Her silver eyes that once held wisdom were overcast with dullness and weariness. Slight signs of bags were under her eyes and her youthful face is now
showing lines of worry and fear.
"Okaa-san..." Usagi gasped in astonishment.

To be continued...

Guess she found her mother, didn't she? ^_^
Thankies for the reviews. Stay tuned for the next chapter and see what her mother's
reaction is going to be. Bwahaha!! *grins *
