Sorry I haven't updated in a while, this chapter was a little annoying to write....

**************************************************************** ****************************

Chapter 7

Peacecraft Academy, Sanc Kingdom

"Students of the nobility of peace," Relena said from the front of the classroom, "I'd like to introduce you to our new friends." (Tenshi-chan: *rolls eyes*) (Meio-chan: *smacks her on the head yet again* No dissin' Rele-chan, imouto-chan!!)

"I'm Quatre Raberba Winner," Quatre said, a nuance of a blush gracing his face, slightly smiling. He gave a slight bow.

"Usagi Tsukino," Usagi said, her voice flat, eyeing one of the girls. She straightened her jacket, inwardly thinking how stiff it was. The first time they had gone to school together with Relena, the uniforms had been much better. Relena had even made sure that Usagi wore the two bows in her hair, which was back into heart-shaped odangos.

"I'm Heero Yuy," Heero said, obviously still uncomfortable with the uniform. His eyes searched through the crowd of students, wondering what he was to expect from the duration of his stay at the Academy, which, he hoped, wouldn't be too long.

"Oh, Heero!" a certain obsessed blond wrench (Tenshi-chan: a.k.a. Dorothy-baka) whispered to herself. She ignored the glare Usagi sent her. "He's cute!"

~*~

"Trowa Barton; lost at point L3-0X. His death is unconfirmed," Usagi read off of Quatre's screen.

"This network hasn't got his data yet, either," Quatre remarked, a hint of sadness in his voice.

Usagi gave a slight frown. "But he's not dead. I know he's not dead. A gundam pilot does not die that easily. Look at Heero! He survived a self-detonation that destroyed a Gundam. Trowa's got to be alive. He has to be," she said firmly.

"..." Quatre was still heavy-hearted about his actions.

"The Peacecrafts have the best database. We just have to wait," Heero said, leaning against the edge of the table. Usagi joined him, sitting up on the table next of him.

"Relena welcomed us in, so we can stay and wait as long as we want," Usagi said, smirking at the slight emotion flickering in Heero's eyes. "I think it's quite nice. She's not a bad girl, you know. Maybe just a little naïve."

"But can we trust her?" Quatre asked.

"Trust? I've never trusted anyone," Heero stated flatly.

Quatre looked at him in slight admiration. Usagi just sighed, shaking her head.

"You haven't changed a bit, Heero." A new person that Usagi didn't recognize had joined their little group. "Her Highness was sincerely worried about you."

"That's none of my business, OZ officer," Heero retorted.

"Ex-officer. I work for Sanc now." She walked over and held out a hand to Usagi. "I'm Lucrezia Noin," she said warmly.

"Usagi Tsukino," the gold-haired girl replied, shaking the woman's hand. "Milliardo spoke well and often of you."

Noin looked startled. "You know Zech's identity?"

Usagi nodded. "You could say he trained me a bit while we were both on Earth at Howard's base. Our first and only mission together required us to use our original identities." Usagi gave a short laugh. "I told him in the beginning that I wouldn't be able to call him a Peacecraft with a straight face, considering how deadly he was in his Tallgeese, yet after that mission, I haven't been able to stop calling him Milliardo ever since."

Noin smiled. "He has that mysterious effect. I'm glad you liked him. But if you weren't originally Usagi Tsukino, then who were you?"

"I was called Serenity Maxwell," Usagi told her.

"You're the sister of 02 then," Noin concluded.

"Affirmative." There was a bit of silence. "He misses you, Miss Noin."

Noin took that comment to heart, but didn't let it show. "This country is under reconstruction as a pacifist nation by Princess Relena," Noin said, changing the subject, opening the conversation to the other two pilots. "I'd appreciate your help very much."

"We're Gundam pilots. How can we engage in peace activities?" Quatre asked gently, reminding them all that they were tainted from the war.

"Do you expect us to fight for peace?" Heero asked, a slight smirk on his face.

"I don't believe absolute pacifism is the same as non-resistance," Noin said. Usagi nodded her head in agreement. "That man didn't come back because of Relena's position."

"The existence of this nation has become a symbol of peace," Usagi stated. "Won't it become defiled with Gundam pilots here?" she asked. "We're supposedly at the top of the OZ's most wanted. When Duke Dermail realizes his mistake of releasing us, he's going to send waves of MS and MD down here to the heart of Sanc. Relena would not approve if we retaliated, especially Gundam."

Heero walked tow the open window and leaned out, gazing at the peaceful area. "If OZ attacks, I will fight," he stated firmly. "That's my mission."

~*~

Down below, behind a tree under the window...a certain blondie was starting through binoculars. "I found him! My Heero!" She leaned against a tree, not noticing that Usagi had joined Heero at the window and was staring right at her. "Well, let me see you fight now, my knight..." (Tenshi-chan: I swear! She's the most pathetic girl I've ever seen!) (Meio-chan: Okay, she's way worse than Rele-chan, I have to admit, but Heero is, and NEVER will be hers!!!)

~*~

'That girl...what is she doing? What does she want?' Usagi rummaged through her mind and found a name. 'Dorothy Catalonia... hmmmm... she's the granddaughter to Duke Dermail.... That could pose some problems...'

"Miss Noin? I'm worried about something..." Usagi spoke up.

"Yes, Usagi?"

"It's about Dorothy Catalonia, there's something weird about that girl..."

"Don't worry about it, Relena's quite taken with her friendship. She's no obstacle with this."

"Oh really? Because she's not that bad of a spy... She tracks Heero better that Relena does." She couldn't help but grin a bit at Heero disgusted face, knowing that he had two stalkers. (Tenshi-chan: Poor Hee-kun!) (Meio-chan: Anno, Relena doesn't really stalk him, you know… Heero happens to follow her around more to try and "kill" her. ^_~) 'So, she's made fast friends with Relena.... The girls sharp, and fast...'

"Well, I don't know about Dorothy, but there are two other things I'm worried about," Quatre stated.

"About what? OZ?" Heero asked, turning away from the window.

"Gundanium alloy has been secretly carried to an OZ facility on Earth," Noin supplied.

"Gundanium alloy?" Usagi voiced. 'Is someone trying to make another Gundam?'

"What's the other one?" Heero demanded, his voice deadly soft. I mean, what could be worse than another Gundam being built by OZ?

Quatre looked serious. "Wing Gundam Zero is now in OZ's hands," he stated clearly. "Including its internal system called Zero System."

"That was the one that was controlling you, right?" Usagi inquired. Quatre nodded. "Oooo, this could be ugly."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~

OZ BASE ON L2

"Zero System... It analyzes battle data and programs its response directly into the pilot's brain," Professor S remarked.

"If it works well with the brain, the MS capacity goes up several times," Dr. J told him. "But I doubt an average pilot can start the system. We made this one differently, if you remember. The system would manipulate his... (Tenshi-chan: EXCUSE ME?!?! HIS!!!! THERE'S HER TOO YOU KNOW!!!!! STOP ACTING LIKE WUFEI!!!!!!) ...mind and severely disable him. Look at what happened to Officer Trant."

Trant had just gotten out of the MS after running a test. He looked terribly thin and gaunt and there were bags under his eyes, his face was pale and clammy, covered with sweat. He took in great gasping breaths as he leaned against the wall for support on the way out of the hanger. (Tenshi-chan: Trust me, he looks pitiful. I dunno what Hilde saw in him...)

"He can't handle it," Professor G scoffed. "It even drove Quatre crazy."

Dr. J watched Trant stagger out of the room. "Zero will act as a pure demolition machine unless the pilot can overcome anger and fear," he said. "It's too dangerous."

~*~

"DAMN IT!!" Trant cursed, throwing his piloting helmet on the ground as he plopped wearily into his chair. "What am I gonna do?!" he asked himself, totally frustrated. "If I master Wing Zero, I can be a Gundam pilot!" He started scanning through the OZ databases for information. "Maybe a Gundam pilot can tell me how..." After several minutes of typing... "What?!?!" Trant exclaimed, almost shocked. "That's the guy I saw at Hilde's!" He came up with an evil plan in his mind... "He's gotta know something about Gundam..." (Tenshi-chan: Do all of you know what happens next? It's just like it was in the manga, and in the anime.) (*readers nod head, then shake head) (Tenshi-chan: Great...I don't feel like typing the whole damn thing up... Ne-san? Would you mind typing it up for me?) (Meio-chan: *sigh* Fine…I'll do it… Readers!! The section entitled, "L2 Colony Space Territory" is by ME, not Tenshi-chan!! *grins* I think you can tell cuz our writing styles are different…) (Tenshi-chan: Arigato!!!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

L2 COLONY SPACE TERRITORY

"We're close to the problem territory! Stay alert!" ordered the leader as three Space Leos flew into debris filled area.

"Investigating numerous missing cases sounds tough, sir." Commented a pilot as the trio closed in on the area.

"Well there's a lot of rocks and remains around here. Probably just accidents." The leader replied as they flew around the area looking for irregularities.

"Death came back to life." Began a sinister-sounding voice, "Today's prey, three Leos." The Shinigami had returned…

"Something closing in, sir! Communications are jammed!" yelled a pilot as a large, dark object came zooming in on the group, "Here it comes!"

Jet-black wings flew open, a double bladed thermo-scythe was activated, and three consecutive explosions later, and the Leo squad was no more. Enter the Shinigami and his new advocate Deathscythe Hell. The OZ squad hadn't had a chance against the deadly pair.

"Sorry, but I need you for parts. My Deathscythe Hell isn't quite finished." Spoke the God of Death.

"Duo! I came to pick up your junk!"

"Thanks for coming all the time, Hilde." Duo replied, "I feel bad."

"No problem, Duo." Hilde said, "You're a good supplier. Besides, you…"

BEEP!

"Stay back, Hilde!" Duo ordered as he glanced at the screen in his beloved Gundam. "Six MS approaching!"

Deathscythe Hell flew on an intercept course, leaving Hilde's salvage ship, and the remains of the three Leos, behind.

"Huh?! That's…GUNDAM?! Is that Wing Zero?!" Duo exclaimed in shock.

"We meet again, Duo!" came the transmission from Wing Zero.

"NANI?! You're an OZ pilot?!"

"It's Trant, the OZ Gundam pilot." He reiterated, "I wanted to talk with you, Gundam pilot to Gundam pilot." (Meio-chan: Since when was an overly ambitious, UGLY, OZ officer a Gundam pilot? I've never heard of such…blasphemy!! May the Funky Demon Goddess of Sweet Tarts forbid!)

"I have nothing to say." Duo retorted from Deathscythe Hell.

"Uh-oh, don't move." Trant warned, "My Twin Buster Rifle is pretty powerful. It can blow up the colony behind you." He swung his mentioned arsenal to further his point. "Now, Duo, come over and sit in my cockpit." Trant continued, "You make one funny move and the MD Taurus will crush the colony."

Duo gritted his teeth; he'd been maneuvered right into an elaborate trap. "Humph! All right."

**************************************************************** ******

*sigh* Ane-chan sort of..... stopped writing there, so I got to write the rest of it...... *pouts*

**************************************************************** ******

"Trant!" Hilde called, having left her own ship and making her way towards the cockpit of Wing Zero. "What do you think you're doing?!"

"Hilde? It's not you I want!" Trant told her, his gun pointed at Duo. (Tenshi-chan: Who said you had any right to want Hilde?)

"What are you gonna do with Duo?! Don't do anything stupid!" Hilde implored.

"SHUT UP!!" Trant snapped. "You don't understand my position!"

"Hilde, stand back. It's dangerous," Duo told her, someone could get hurt, namely him as the gun was still pointed at him.

"Come on, we grew up together!" Hilde pleaded. "You used to be so nice to me!"

"SHUT UP!!!" Trant yelled, forcefully knocking Hilde of the platform into space.

"Hilde!" Duo yelled.

"Get in or I'll kill her too," Trant threatened, smug over his victory.

"You....!" Duo cursed. (Tenshi-chan: I'm guessing in the Japanese version he called him "kisama"....)

The cockpit to Wing Zero closed.

"What do you want with me?" Duo demanded.

"It's easy. Just fight those MD with Wing Zero here," Trant answered.

"DO you realize if I don't, you'll die, too?" Duo hinted.

"Of course," Trant answered. "That's why I programmed the MD, so they'll attack the colony after destroying Zero.

"Well, I have no choice then!" Duo said grimly. "Here we go!"

(Tenshi-chan: Kuso! I don't want to write this part any more!!!! It's not as if Usagi's in it, so it's just like what happened in the series and in the manga, k? If you haven't read or seen the manga, Duo pilots Zero, and Zero controls his mind. Trant think's what Duo is doing is useless, so he throws Duo out. Duo follows Trant in Deathscythe Hell and they battle. Trant get's controlled by the system and just when he's about to destroy Duo, he dies because his brain can't handle the input Zero is giving it.)

L3 COLONY

"A circus troupe is in town, guys!" a kid told his buddies.

"Come see us!" Catherine said, all in her circus uniform and make-up, handing out flyers to the next show. A young man walked up to her. "YOU!" she cried, shocked. "Trowa! I never thought I'd see you again!" she said, shaking him gently as if to make sure he was really there.

"Is that my name?" The boy asked. "Who are you?"

"Trowa... Have you lost your memory?" Catherine asked, horrorstruck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~

L5 COLONY MS PLANT

"Isn't there anyone stronger? Wufei demanded, sending another fighter down to the ground. "Try and beat me!" he demanded, kicking and attacking a warrior. "That's not good enough to beat a Gundam pilot!" (Tenshi-chan: *wails* His story in Episode Zero is sssooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sad!!!!! I nearly started crying!!!!!!!!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~

BACK ON EARTH, THE OLD CASTLE UNDER OZ CONTROL, WHERE GUNDAMIUM HAS BEEN SECRETLY BROUGHT IN

Heero infiltrated to investigate, and found a man in a cage. Little did he know that Usagi had also come to pay a little visit to the base... She had ridden Twilight over here, and even for a MS the size of a Gundam, she was not stopped at from entering. She found that not only strange, but also unnerving. (Tenshi-chan: Well, wouldn't you? If you thought that you were going to have to enter after getting fired at a couple million times, then you're allowed to pass through entirely unscathed? I certainly would be. But then goes that Cardcaptor saying: "Expect the unexpected now". I'm blabbing aren't I? Well, let's get back to Heero!)

"Treize Kushrenada," Heero said, finding the proud general. He raised his gun.

"How did you sneak in? Did you come to kill me?"

"I have no interest in you now," Heero said in a monotone, the safety of his gun clicking off. "But I have no reason to keep you alive, either."

"My, Heero Yuy, you have very good eyes," Treize said in a caustic way(Tenshi-chan: If you don't get this statement, read Episode Zero:Heero Yuy. It sort of comes clear then). "But then, I wouldn't miss the world with MD in it. Maybe my death would be much better?" he asked, raising an elegant eyebrow. Just then, Usagi chose to walk in on them her gold braid swinging cheerfully behind her.

"Heero?" she asked, wondering if they were here on the same mission. Then she noticed whom the gun was pointed at. She quickly stepped between the barrel and its target. "Hello, General Treize. I wasn't expecting to find you already being threatened with a gun," she greeted amiably, though her back was to him. Heero was glaring at her.

"What do you mean already? Did you mean for you to be the one holding the gun?" Treize asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.

"I...I...I couldn't pull the trigger on you anymore," Usagi admitted. "Not since the last time we met...it was quite an experience, AND IT HURT LIKE HELL!!! Though not as much if her hand hadn't been hit."

"She's much better now, quite nice if I should say so myself," Treize told her. "One chauvinist down, one to go." (Tenshi-chan: chauvinist... Wufei *hack**cough*)

"Yes, I have already seen her. She was the one who told me where you were," Usagi informed him.

"Then you two aren't going to be at each other's throats anymore? So I don't have to separate you two anymore?" Treize lightly teased.

"Nope!" Usagi replied, almost happy. "See how much better life can be when there's no conflict?"

Heero was lost in this conversation. (Tenshi-chan: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!! BWAHAHAHA!!!! I finally managed to confuse Heero!!!! Ummm...did I confuse any readers too? Well, the "she" is Lady Une, okay? DO you understand it now? Good)

"Humans evolve from conflict, Usagi," Treize told her sternly. "It seems our generation is slow in learning that."

"But think of all the people who have died, Treize. How much have they evolved in their precious short life?" Usagi asked quietly. "Must their precious lives be sacrificed unwittingly and even unwillingly?" There was a period of silence, which Heero finally broke.

"Usagi," Heero commanded. "What are you doing here?" (Tenshi-chan: Always down to business, ne Heero?)

"Well...I wanted to know who was behind the Gundanium shipment," she explained. "Besides, I can come visit General Treize, ne?"

"He's the enemy."

"Negative," Usagi said, mocking him. "He WAS the enemy. He no longer poses a threat now, since the Foundation with their MD are a much bigger problem."

"He's still the enemy. Once an enemy, forever my enemy." Well, isn't Heero the obdurate one? (Tenshi-chan: I'm trying to get as many of my SAT vocab words in as I can.)

"Heero, sometimes you need to take on another perspective," Usagi said, shaking her head. "Treize isn't that bad. He saved my head a couple thousand times from Lt. Une. He knew from the very beginning that I wasn't a normal OZ soldier. He knew that I was the one working with the Gundams, yet he never told. He even saved my life from a bullet," Usagi said, gratitude in her voice.

"It doesn't matter, Usagi," Treize said. "Heero, if you're going to correct the Romefeller's folly. I will cooperate with you."

Heero clicked the safety of his gun back on and lowered his arm. "What can you do from your cage? In a place isolated like this?"

"Many things can be done from a cage like mine, Heero. I can provide information critical to the survival of the Sanc Kingdom," he said carefully. "I have something you can use. It's in the basement. It was completed not too long ago," he said slyly.

"It's made of Gundanium, isn't it?" It wasn't a question.

"Correct. A brand new Gundam...Epyon."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~

A FEW HOURS LATER...

"Sanc Kingdom! Hand over the Gundam pilots!"

After receiving Dorothy's reports, the Romefeller Foundation's OZ troops circled the Peacecraft's castle.

"They'll destroy this country, Miss Noin. I'll turn myself in without Heero," Quatre told her.

"Wait! That's not what Princess Relena wants! We will fight if we have to!" Noin argued.

~*~

Outside...

"Come out and fight, Heero!" Dorothy called out. (Tenshi-chan: *thunderstorm hovering over her head* *growls* bitch!) (Meio-chan: *nods head in agreement* Hai!! Usually I wouldn't agree, but Dorothy just really pisses me off!!)

But it wasn't Heero who came out.

It was Relena, all decked out in a princess's dress, her crown proudly placed on her head.

"HER HIGHNESS!!!!" Dorothy and Noin said at the same time, their eyes wide.

"Who the hell are you?" the Romefeller soldier demanded from inside his Leo.

"Welcome to Sanc Kingdom," Relena greeted, giving a curtsey. "I am the head of Sanc Kingdom, Princess Relena Peacecraft!" she stated firmly. "You're invading a sovereign nation!"

"What the..." the soldier muttered under his breath.

"We have no business with you! Leave immediately!" she commanded imperiously.

"Wake up, Princess!" the soldier said scathingly. "Your peace is just a dream!" The soldier opened fire on her.

None of the bullets hit her, thankfully. (Tenshi-chan: THANKFULLY?!?! I CAN'T BELIEVE I WROTE THAT!!!!) "Drop your weapons! I will not tolerate your brutality!" Relena declared. "I am the symbol of peace! Relena Peacecraft!" (Tenshi-chan: *gag* Lame-o!) (Meio-chan: *sigh* Well it's true you know… Besides, why do think the Peacecraft monarchy was nearly destroyed thirteen years ago?? They were in the way of the Alliance's plans…go figure… And you know if she had been hit, then the series wouldn't have ended like it did. There'd be more chaos and NO peace at the end!!)

"Kuso!!! The princess is in trouble!" Noin yelled, turning away from the window. "I'll borrow Wing Gundam!"

"Wait!" Quatre said. "What are those MS?!"

"What?!" Noin asked, startled.

Two MS landed, back to back, in the middle of all the MD.

Two beam sabers flared to life, on from Twilight, and one from the Epyon.

"Stand back, Relena," Heero said, noticing that the princess was standing right in the middle of the mess. (Tenshi-chan: Think of that statement as figuratively, technically, Heero and Usagi landed in the middle of all the MD....)

"Let's do it, Heero. Kick some MD ass!" Usagi yelled. "Just like the old days, ne?" The two of the slashed into the MD, destroying multitudes of them; okay, destroying all of them. Trust me, the Epyon has enough power to turn tons of MD into dust.

"Heero?" Relena asked, staring at the MS. "Usagi?"

"It's Heero and Usagi!" Quatre yelled with joy.

"Is that a new Gundam?" Noin asked, staring at the awesome destructive power of the Epyon. It was almost, or equally as powerful as Wing Zero. "What power!"

Dorothy, on the other hand, was far from being pleased, "That's it? Just explode? How boring." Her gaze hardened as she watched Usagi jump out of Twilight. 'So, she's a Gundam pilot?'

Just then, Dorothy got a phone call. "Hm? What is it Grandpa?" she asked. "What? Get out of here right away? Why?... YOU'RE DROPPING AN ASTEROID ON SANC KINGDOM?!?!"

Well, Dorothy immediately made preparations to leave, but not before Usagi caught her.

"Well, well, well, seems like our little spy is going somewhere?" Usagi said, her voice wheedling. "Care to tell me where?"

"I'm just leaving..." Dorothy stuttered. Usagi tightened the grip on her shoulder. "I honestly don't know where. Grandpa just told me go get out of here."

"And, care to tell me why? Why would the Duke and Head of the Romefeller Foundation all of sudden desire his precious granddaughter to get out of one of the most well protected places on Earth?" (Tenshi-chan: I was going to say the safest, but since when was having 3 gundam pilots around safe? Protected, definitely. Not much can get through all three of them, and Noin.) (Meio-chan: Shut up, imouto-chan, and get on with the fic!) (Tenshi-chan: Ane-chan! Don't tell me to shut up!!! Freedom of speech!!!! Besides, you never finished writing that section of Duo and Trant! *ducks laptops and school books thrown at her from readers*) (Readers: Get on with the fic!) (Tenshi-chan: *glares* Not you too!!!!)

"..." The grip tightened painfully. "He's dropping an asteroid on Sanc!"

Usagi let out of the girl, almost in shock. "NANI?!?!?! Heero!" she yelled, pushing Dorothy away, looking frantically for her partner.

Heero ran over, a bit startled. "What?"

"Duke Dermail's is dropping an asteroid on Sanc!"

"Mission: destroy the asteroid." Heero glanced at Usagi. "Accepted by me. How about you?"

"Of course accepted!!! Wouldn't miss it for the world!" Usagi declared, already running towards Twilight.

"Hn." Heero too, dashed for his gundam. If they waited any longer, they might not have enough time to accomplish their mission.

The two got in to their gundams, Twilight and Epyon. "Transform! M.A. mode!" The two gundams shifted into their flying mode and took off.

Well, I'm sure you all know what the next chapter is! The next chapter will be quite interesting.... I can tell you that much.

Meio-chan: *reads next chapter in the manga* *eyes go wide* Oh my… *turns to Tenshi-chan* How the in hell are you going to manage that?!?! *goes slightly teary-eyed* Poor Heero-kun!!! And there're only FIVE more chapters in the manga!!!

Hey, but you never know, there's always Ground Zero, Blind Target, Battlefield of the Pacifist and Endless Waltz too!
