~*~
In the hope of building a promising future, mankind built and inhabited "space colonies"
around Earth.
They called this new age "AC", for "After Colony"......

......But the Promise of this new age was not to be. History soon repeated itself, and the
human race found
itself in the middle of an age of war......

......Under the guise of keeping the peace, the Earth established the Allied Earth Forces,
and stationed them on the Colonies. The truth, however, was far more sinister......

freedom of the
colonists was taken away......

......AC 195, the date of destiny. Capsules were launched simultaneously from 5 separate
colonies to different parts of Earth......

their pilots are on a mission to subvert the Allied Earth Forces. They are the colonies last
hope for freedom......

......Help the Gundam......

AC 195
Outer Earth Atmosphere

-*-

In the solitary blackness approaching earth, a lone shuttle capsule headed for atmosphere
entry. There were few occupants on this return to Earth, two being Relena Darlian and
her father. Looking out her window, Relena spotted something moving by her window at
a rapid rate.

"Father, is that a shooting star? No..." Relena answered her own question. "Its a capsule
for atmosphere entry."

"I wonder if that's what it was..." She mused to herself, and then turned back to the book
she had been reading.

-*-

~Oz Transport~

-*-

"Special Lieutenant Zechs! We've located one of the capsules!" One of the co-pilots
reported to the tall platinum haired man sitting in a chair at one of the vast computers
inside the Transport Shuttle.

"It should touch down in Eastern Eurasia! It must be a capsule from Operation M. Go
after it!" Zechs Marquise, Oz Special Lieutenant replied.

"Yes sir!"

-*-

~Unidentified Capsule~

-*-

The pilot inside the capsule tapped silently at a small computer inside. Pulling into the
atmosphere, A small dot suddenly flashed on his radar.

"It's the Allies attack transport."

Pulling a slight lever, the pilot maneuvered the capsule slightly and then from the capsule
came a fighter plane, a new model. Turning, it headed for the attack transport with deadly
accuracy.

"Whoever saw my ride has to die..." The pilot said softly to himself. He locked on his
target.

-*-

~Oz Transport~

-*-

One of the pilots looked shocked at what he saw. "A birdlike fighter plane came out of
the capsule, sir!"

"The egg has hatched, huh?" Zechs said, with a quiet grin.

"So, this fighter plane is the anti-Allies group's secret weapon." The younger of the two
pilots confirmed.

"Affirmative. We can't let it get away. Shoot it down!" Zechs commanded, starting to
stand up.

"Looks like the enemy's detected us, sir. It's closing in." The other pilot said, looking
back at his commander.

"Two Mobile Suit Aries out for interception!"

"Roger! I'm going out with MS Leo!" Zechs headed to the back of the shuttle.

As the bulky Leo came out of the cargo hold of the Oz Transport, Zechs said to himself,
"I'll show you how to fight in gravity!!"

A flash on his radar and in the distance indicated his enemy. "Here it comes!"

"WHAT?!" Zechs saw the speed registered and was taken by surprise.

With incredible speed, the new fighter plane sped past the three Mobile Suits lying in
wait for it. The three pilots where stunned.

"Is that the anti-Allies Elements weapon, sir?" One of the Aries pilots asked, a nervous
tone to his voice.

"That's what it looks like. Hmm?! It stopped..." Zechs responded and then stopped as the
fighter hovered in the air. Seconds later, it began to change.

The three pilots stared.

The plane seemed to tremble then several parts began to slide and move.

"Is it Transforming?!" An Aries pilot exclaimed in wonder.

"BUSTER RIFLE, lock on!" a voice came over the communication units of the pilots as
the new Mobile Suit showed itself in all it's glory.

"Die!" The boy pilot in the new Mobile Suit pushed the button on his steering shaft.

**click**

Zechs watched in astonishment as a huge beam emitted from the cannon that the Mobile
Suit carried, taking out the two Aries in a double series of booms.

*BLAM*

"It got two Mobile Suits with ONE shot!?" Zechs stared at where his pilots had been only
a few seconds earlier.

*BANG*

Zechs gasped as the second shot fired by the unknown pilot nearly hit him. "Damn!"

"BAD SHOT! This is how it's done!" Zechs yelled back in the direction of the pilot. He
turned his Leo on the Mobile Suit and opened fire.

He had scored a direct hit, and he watched as the Mobile Suit continued to fall. When the
smoke cleared, Zechs was yet again stunned.

"WHAT?!" Zechs saw it was mainly unharmed. "What is it made of? Gundanium
ALLOY? It's strong!"

As he watched it fall, he could almost feel the pilot within the Mobile Suit smirking with
triumph. It angered him greatly.

"THEN HOW ABOUT THIS?" With a loud clashing of metal, the two Mobile Suits
were locked together. The cockpit door to the Leo opened and the tall figure of Zech
Marquise jumped out, his platinum hair streaming behind him as he pulled the cord to his
parachute.

"You can't move now, you'll hit the ocean...the suit with survive, but the pilot won't."
Zechs said to himself musingly as he floated towards the blue expanse underneath him,
watching as the two MS landed in the middle of the ocean.

"I have destroyed...three of Oz' Mobile Suits..." The pilot said to himself in a low voice as
his Mobile Suit hit the water.

"I lost three Mobile Suits! Damn!" He waited for other Aries to come and pick him up.
"Those other capsules have to be Gundam also..." Zechs floated in silence, busily
thinking behind his silver mask.

-AEF Space Port. The Strait Of Dover-

-*-

"SUPRISE ATTACK! FIGHT BACK WITH LEO MOBILE SUITS!" the alarm ran
trough the base.

Flashes of bright intense light and loud noises reverberated through the base as six
missiles, coming swiftly though the air, hit their targets.

"All homing missiles have hit the target!" The pilot inside a large orange and white
Mobile Suit made of Gundanium Alloy stood not far away from the base.

*CLANG*

With a metallic ring, the metal giant lifted its arm, and out of it came a large gatling gun.

"Beam Gatling, stand by!" The pilot took aim at the base and grimly started to bombard it
with the entire arsenal he had.

Quickly, the base began to fall apart, and finally, exploded. Bits of fire, concrete, glass,
metal, and plaster flew in all directions.

*BOOM*

After several minutes of silence, the gatling lowered, smoking.

"Trowa Barton, Gundam HeavyArms. I've destroyed all Shuttle Leos. Mission
accomplished." The pilot inside reported in, one green eye looking seriously through his
light brown hair. Then the tall pilot seemed to sigh to himself, and then he and his
Gundam headed out.

-*-

-Oz Desert Troop: Africa-

-*-

"HEAT SHORTERS!" Two curved pieces of metal, white with heat, slashed through the
troops in the middle of the desert, not far from a smoldering base. Within seconds,
explosions rocked the air, as forty others watched a solitary Mobile Suit slash through the
Leos on the base.

"Great job, Master Quatre. You have no need for us, Maganac, with your Gundam
Sandrock." Rashid, the head of the troop of forty Mobile Suits commented to the blonde
in the seat of the sand colored and white Gundam.

"Thanks, Rashid. But you know I can't always do it all by myself." The blonde boy
smiled. "Let's head back to the base."

-*-

-Shuttle Airport, South Japanese Point-

-*-

Relena Darlian and her father, stepped off of the shuttle into the large airport. Seconds
later, they were surrounded by reporters, with flashing lights, babbling voices, and
whirring cameras.

"Welcome back, Mr. Darlian!! How did the colonial summit go?"

"What about the demand by the colonial self-governing body?"

"Reporters! Would you please give me a break?" Foreign Minister Darlian said, in an
exasperated tone. The reporters all quieted down, but not from Mr. Darlian's request. A
woman, with reddish brown hair done in two braided buns low on her neck and wore
round glasses, parted the crowd, two soldiers right behind her.

"I was expecting you, Foreign Minister Darlian." She spoke in a voice that was not at all
of friendly intent.

"Who are you?" Minister Darlian asked, his face terse.

"Lady Une, from OZ Specials." A thin smiled parted her lips. "Commander Treize
instructed me to show you to the terminal building." She glanced at Relena. Relena felt a
shiver go up her spine.

"What? Commander Treize?" Minister Darlian looked slightly alarmed. He turned to his
daughter. "Excuse me, Relena. You go home now. I'll arrange for a limo."

"No. I'll find my own ride home." Relena protested, and with that, grabbed her small
book bag and walked away.

Her father sighed, and headed off with the Lady Une.

Relena started walking past the runways, towards the highway, near the shoreline. As the
sounds of the sea hit her ears, she began thinking about her father.

"Father's been working so much…I wonder how difficult the relationship between the
Earth and the colonies really is…?"

-*-

-Shoreline Near Shuttle Airport-

-*-

Taryn suddenly shivered. "I'm so cold…what is this? Water?" Icy little fringes of water
lapped at her legs and waist. She was soaked and she felt so cold. Something heavy lay
partially over her waist as well.

"What happened? Where am I…?" She moaned softly to herself and tried to shift herself
into a position to get up. Yet that something heavy still lay upon her.

"Dammit…" Turning her head, she looked to see what it was that lay on top of her. She
felt strangely heavy and noticed she was wearing something of a thick fabric, like a long
sleeved sweater, yet it ended in gloves covering her hands.

Then she gasped. Another person was lying on top of her! She couldn't see this person's
face, for he wore a dark helmet, like for a space uniform, and yet, he wore a suit much
like her own…

"Cass!" The name barely slipped past her lips when she felt the body on top of her shift
and roll over slightly. This allowed her to sit up. Gently, she slid the helmet off the
person, hoping to see her best friend's light brown hair falling out of it.

Yet, when she pulled it off, she was surprised to see short dark brown hair, and a very
handsome boyish face. She gasped slightly, because she knew who he was…yet…didn't
know who he was. As she stared at him, her hand gently cupped around his jaw and
turned his face more towards her. He opened his eyes and looked at her dazedly, moved
his lips, and with a slight moan, closed his eyes again.

"What?" Taryn said gently, setting the helmet beside her. Tears instantly sprung to her
eyes. She didn't remember a single thing…

The sudden tension of losing her closest friend and not remembering anything before this,
Taryn suddenly felt tired and lost consciousness again, and bent over the boy, her face
close to his.

Relena, walking along the high area before the shore, lost in her thoughts, didn't fail to
notice the two figures together near the water.

"They're…bodies!" Relena looked alarmed and flung her backpack to the ground, and
rushed down the steps. When she neared the two, she recognized the style of suit they
each wore.

"These…are pilot suits?" Relena neared the two, she touched the shoulder of the one
nearly sitting upright. She fell backwards slightly into Relena.

Relena got a good full view of their faces then. "They…are just children…Are you
alright?" Relena reached forward, and gently shook the boy's shoulder to get him to
move from his position in the girl's lap.

"Mm…" He moaned slightly, then suddenly… "HM?!" His eyes flew wide-open,
brilliant, intense Prussian blue of color.

"Oh, I'm so glad you're alive." Relena breathed a sigh of relief. At least one was all right.
"I'm Relena Darlian. What's your name? And who's your partner?" Relena gestured at
the prostrate girl in her lap.

He glared at her in silence and looked at the girl on the ground. 'No, she didn't see
me…it was this other one…'

"YOU SAW MY FACE!" He covered it with his hand and stepped away from Relena.
"Forget about my name or hers. You saw my face. You must die." Quickly he pulled out
a gun. "Goodbye."

"What?" Relena looked at him in fear and confusion, but couldn't move with the girl in
her lap.

**BANG**

"Aaargh." The boy dropped his gun as something hit his hand. A wide patch of blood
appeared on the glove of the off colored pilots' suit. The gun hit the ground a few feet
away.

"You bad guys never learn." A voice came from behind them, at the stairs leading to the
upper area.

The boy turned with quickness unequaled in most humans. "!!!"

"Hey, buddy! Don't move!" A boy, dressed in black, stood on the stairs, aiming a gun at
the pilot. Relena was shocked.

"Are you alright, lady?" He asked, winking one violet eye, and pushing back his long
dark brown braid.

"Mmm…" The girl on the ground stirred. Relena looked at the pilot and quickly shook
the girl in her lap.

"Get up, your partner has been hurt." Relena said, fiercely, still shocked at the sight of
kids playing with guns.

The girl opened her eyes and looked around. Sitting up, she saw the pilot's hand dripping
blood onto her own suit.

"He--" She started to say a name, but a thought stopped her. Quickly, she turned and tore
a piece of cloth from Relena's skirt. She looked up at the blonde girl and apologized with
her eyes, but turned and quickly wrapped the pilot's hand.

"He was passed out on the ground! So was she." Relena spluttered to the boy in black.
"You ought to behave yourself."

"Uh…" The boy looked miffed. He shook his head and his braid swayed. "I'm the bad
guy?"

"Ah, well, I guess I shouldn't stick my nose it." He shrugged his black clad shoulders.
"I've got to get to work. You guys stay here, alright?" As he was talking he began
walking down the beach towards the water. Relena stood a few feet away from the girl
and the pilot, who was still holding his hand to him.

The boy stopped and muttered to himself. "Duo, old boy, you've got yourself into a fine
mess this time around…" The girl in the pilot's uniform heard this and her eyes widened.

"Duo…Maxwell?" She said to herself. Her pilot companion looked at her strangely.

Duo looked back at the two strangely and seemed to forget about Relena. Then he pulled
out a small remote device and pushed a button on it. With a rumble, something
gargantuan started to rise out of the sea.

The pilot's eyes widened as a massive black Mobile Suit rose from the sea and stood with
glowing green eyes. Duo jumped unbelievably high into the air and landed on the Suit.

Duo smirked. "Heh-heh, don't ask. Just say you didn't see this and I'll let you go.
Otherwise, I'll hunt you down." He grinned in a cheerful way. "I also picked up this cool
thing at the bottom of the sea on my way down here." He jumped into the cockpit with
these words, the three down below watching.

The girl in the pilot suit started to gently move away, suddenly feeling something about
her being here was wrong. Softly, she spoke to herself, the pilot the only one hearing
what she said.

"Taryn…what did you do to get here?"

'Taryn…' The pilot thought to himself, made a mental note, and then paid no attention to
her as the black Mobile Suit pulled a familiar looking object from the sea.

"Ta-daa!" Duo had pulled up a massive white, red, blue, and green Gundam from the sea.

"Are those the same type of Mobile Suit?" Relena gasped in wonder.

The pilot's eyes widened and he managed to get out, "Wing…"

With a grim face, the pilot started running to the edge of the shore. Taryn watched from
the upper level area, that she had managed to reach. Relena shouted.

"HEY!!"

Duo growled as the pilot came nearer and then jumped into the air, much like he had
done before. Raising his gun in alarm he fired three shots. "HEY!!"

The pilot didn't even wince when two hit his upper arms and one hit his lower leg. He
kept heading straight for Duo.

"!!!" Duo grit his teeth as he found himself pointing his gun at the strange pilot's
forehead, the pilot's Prussian blue eyes gleaming at him almost evilly.

"I don't care about my life, but I can't let you have that!!" The brown haired pilot said,
smirking and gesturing towards the white Mobile Suit.

"Oh yeah?!" Duo shouted, filled with rage. He pulled the trigger.

The pilot smirked and moved his head slightly, the bullet whizzing though his hair,
missing him slightly.

Before Duo could react, he had jumped towards the white Mobile Suit, opened the hatch,
and entered the cockpit. With a slam, the white Mobile Suit pulled out of the black
Gundam's reach.

"So…that's yours, huh?" Duo said, opening communication lines while pulling out his
beam scythe. "Why don't you thank me for picking it up then?"

The pilot didn't answer, just pulled out his beam saber and then the two boys began to
fight, their weapons creating a mighty crash as they collided/.

"What are they doing?" Relena asked, thinking the girl was still with her. When she
didn't get an answer, she turned and noticed the girl with the layered red brown hair was
standing at the head of the stairs to the upper level area, watching silently, her face grim,
yet pondering.

"Not bad for being wounded!" Duo shouted at the pilot, as the two exchanged strike for
strike, parry for parry, blow for blow.

The pilot only smirked in his seat and continued for fight with a strangely rare skill.

"Stop it, you two!" Relena shouted at the two Mobile Suits battling in the water. "Kids
aren't supposed to fight with Mobile Suits!" She tried in vain to talk to them.

Taryn looked up towards the sky above the fighting Mobile Suits and noticed two Aries
coming towards the battling Gundam.

"It's the Allies' Aries!" The pilot from the white Gundam said, more to himself than to
Duo.

"Now look what you've done!" Duo shouted at the pilot.

Within a split second, the Aries neared the Gundam and started to open fire. Just as
quickly, the two Gundam used their beam weapons to destroy the Aries.

"We'll finish this later!" Duo shouted with a grin at the pilot.

"Hmph." The pilot smiled grimly to himself.

With a finally explosion, the two Mobile Suits disappeared, flying off into the night sky
in separate directions, leaving Relena on the beach.

"……" Relena couldn't find the words to express what she had seen. Turning, she looked
for the girl in the pilot's uniform. She was gone also.

Relena was alone on the beach.

-AEF OZ Fleet, the Yangtze, China-

-*-

A lone Gundam, of green, white, and dark blue, stood looking over the smoldering
remains of a fleet of OZ Leos and Aries.

On its massive shoulder, stood a boy of Chinese ancestry, dressed in traditional Chinese
white garments. He smiled to himself as he looked over his destruction.

"My dear ride, Nataku. Hope we'll fight something more powerful next." He said, as he
patted the heavy metal plating. "Chang Wufei…shall bring Justice with Shenlong!"

He raised his fist in a gesture of strength.

-*-

-Saint Gabriel School-

"Good Morning, Madam."

"Good Morning, Miss Relena."

"Miss Darlian, How are you?"

Several greetings instantly came forwards as Relena Darlian entered her classroom. She
smiled and nodded and made her way to her seat.

"Good Morning."

"Have you heard about the disturbance yesterday? There was a Mobile Suit battle at the
shore!"

"That is scary!"

Relena just smiled again, thinking she'd better not give her secret away. Sitting down,
she noticed the teacher leading in two new students.

"Class, may I have your attention, please?" The teacher clapped his hands several times
to bring the light buzz of conversation in the room to a halt.

"We have two new transfer students. Please welcome them warmly." The teacher looked
at the students and the two new students stepped forward.

"I am Heero Yuy." The first student said, as he stepped forward. Relena gasped to
herself. It was the pilot from the shore.

"I am Taryn…Nomanai." There was a slight pause in the girl's announcement of her
name, as if she wasn't sure of what to say. Relena also recognized her. It was the girl in
the pilot suit. The boy's partner…or so Relena thought.

Then something else struck Relena. 'Nomanai…? Unknown?' Relena was puzzled over
the girl's last name. 'Who'd have a last name like 'unknown'?' she mused on this for a
second.

Taryn held her breath slightly. It had been a bit of a blessing to be able to get into a
school at such short noticed, but even more luck when she found out that Relena and the
pilot were both going to attend here.

"Now, I want you two to take the seats in front of Miss Darlian. I'm sure she'll make you
feel welcome." The teacher pointed at the two empty desks in front of Relena. Relena
smiled at the two making their way through the students. Both were very quiet in their
movements and manners.

Taryn sat down directly in front of Relena and Heero slightly to her right on the other
side of Taryn. Relena leaned forward and said gently, "Welcome to St. Gabriel School."

A slight shifting of Heero's eyes was all the acknowledgement she got from either new
student. Relena sighed. Something was definitely up.

-*-

-School Athletic Grounds-

-*-

When Relena left her class, she followed Heero Yuy out to the athletic grounds. She
noticed his intent was on trying to locate someone as well, when she noticed that the girl
with the heavily layered reddish brown hair was no where to be seen.

When Heero stopped by a wall to look out over the scenery, Relena approached him, a
group of girls behind her, always following.

"Heero Yuy. I like your name." Relena said the first thing that popped into her mind.
Heero looked at her, slightly startled. Relena continued, "I'm glad to see you again."

"Relena Darlian…" He smirked slightly. Relena felt confused, for he looked so evil. "I
almost forgot. We were interrupted yesterday." He turned all the way towards her, facing
her. "Remember the fate of the one who saw my face and Gundam." He looked over
Relena's left shoulder and noticed the girl known as Taryn, standing in the doorway,
watching the scene with a passive expression, as if she knew what was to come next.

Heero smirked at her and she looked slightly startled. Yet he leaned towards Relena and
spoke softly, so only she could hear.

"I will kill you."

Relena's eyes opened wide with shock, and Heero Yuy passed her, smirking to himself.
Looking towards the doorway, Taryn had gone, yet he knew he must ask her some
questions also.

.oO~*-*~Oo.
