Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Five Pilots & A Girl ❯ Chapter 1 ( Chapter 1 )

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing but I own a few characters in here. ^_^

Note: I am pretty mixed up with the timeline and I've distorted some facts about what really happened in the series. But hey, this is a fanfic! The Gundam pilots already knew each other and live in a hideout in one of the colonies.

Five Pilots and a Girl

By catnips_ph

CHAPTER ONE

One year later, in a base camp in one of the colonies near Earth …

"The Gundam attacks are really very impressive don't you think?" said a young man.

"Yeah. I wish I could ride one of them. The Leos and Taurus are not capable of defeating them. Damn, even a hundred of them could not defeat at least one Gundam" another young man said.

"Just look at these statistics!," the earlier person exclaimed and handed a paper to his companion.

"Just what exactly are you guys looking at?" asked a young girl.

"None of your business Lara," said the second boy.

"You are being harsh again on her Steve. Cut her some slack. She's new to this base camp okay?" said the other boy.

"Yeah, yeah okay Kenji! Here Lara." He handed the paper to Lara (Lysa). "But that is classified info okay? Good thing Kenji here is tight with the upper man himself."

"Who?" Lara asked and looked at the paper and was shocked to find out a diagram of Wing Zero. Beside it are some of its fighting styles and statistics.

"Why, Treize Krushenada himself. Don't you know that he is - mmmph mpphh."

"Shut up Steve!" Kenji said while gagging Steve's mouth with his hand. But Lara wasn't listening.

"How come Oz have this information?" Lara asked.

"They were able to recover the remnants of Wing Zero after the pilot detonated so they were able to study and project its blueprint. They are now trying to build similar designs on our mobile suits." Kenji explained.

"Oh." Lara said and looked at the paper again.

"Kenji!!!" a female shriek was heard.

"Hey Kenji! Here comes one of your girlfriends. Or should I say your female worshippers?" Steve snickered.

Lara looked up and saw a bunch of girls heading their way. Like her, they were all in a base camp training to become soldiers. She was transferred to this camp after she studied the basics in one of the other camps in a far away colony, which was near her home. Home… It was completely destroyed after they were evacuated. But then she knew that all of her family and friends were able to escape. And she swore that she would help the alliance in gaining back control of the space. She must find a way to see the scientists who build the Gundams and help them. She had been interested in the Zero system ever since and had helped her father in his research. Looking at the profile of Wing Zero, the Zero system is included in the design. She just wondered if the pilots had used it. If they did, it must have been painful.

"Hey Lara! Lara!"

"Huh? What?" Lara was shook out of her reverie.

"I thought we've lost you there." Steve said. "We're heading back to the gym. You can stay here if you still want to study the parameters they've set for the air and ground controls."

"Yeah. I think I'll stay here."

"Okay. Catch you later at dinner time in the mess hall."

With that, the group left. She watched with a puzzle look on her face as a herd of young female trainees accompanied both guys. During her first few weeks, she was, in a way, harassed by some of the girls telling her that Kenji and Steve are their exclusive properties. Duh? As if I care!!! She knew they said that when they found out that she belongs to Kenji's team. Actually, she IS the only female in his team. She was surprised of that fact. Kenji Rinada is the top cadet in the camp. In fact his team is leading the batch. She had acted on a very low profile so that she will not get too much attention and she intends to be removed from his team.

She was scheming on how to do just that when something or someone caught her eye. There was a young man, a few inches taller than her who was looking at the controls. Funny, I've never seen… Then it hit her. The boy has a very long braid! What the.... Whoever would allow such trainee to have long hair!

She immediately approached him. "Hey there!" But the young man moved away. He was heading to the opposite direction so that she didn't see his face at all.

"Stop right there!" she barked and reached for her gun. "Stop or I'll shoot!" she pointed her gun at him. Oh God, please don't let me shoot him…

Slowly, he faced her. But his cap shadowed his face and the sun is already setting. "Hello there!" and he raised his arms. "I'm not an enemy. Here." He threw an ID at her.

Lara picked up the supposed ID but soon regretted it when it smoked out. She coughed and shielded her eyes. When the smoke settled, the young man was gone. Damn! Now what do I do?, she mused. Then she smiled… Slowly… Lysa, you are a genius! Obviously he is an enemy of Oz therefore why should you tell your officers? Then she gave a small laugh. I must get back. If that guy intends to breach the controls here then they mustn't know I'm here.

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

Moments later, somewhere outside the camp…

"So, did you put the bugs on place?" The young man with Prussian eyes asked his companion.

"Why? Do you underestimate the power of Shinigami?" he gave a huge grin.

"Did anybody see you?"

Silence.

"I'm assuming he is dead?" he asked with one eyebrow raised.

"Well actually…. You see it's like this." He explained. He was bad in lying especially when it's with Heero. He feels he can see right through him.

"You baka! How many times do I have to tell you that there should be no witnesses! Damn it Duo! Now we have to go back there and kill them all!"

"Hold your horses Heero. Don't try to panic. I'm sure that if she told them about me, they will know that nothing was missing and nothing was implanted. I made a clean cut okay? Besides, she saw me in the air and ground controls. They will inspect it and find out nothing. They would probably think she's lying."

"Hn. So the witness was a girl. I should have known." Heero then went back to his Gundam.

"Hey Heero wait. And what does that suppose to mean? You jealous or something?" Duo shouted. But seeing that Heero had already gotten inside, he too went inside his Gundam. But he was far from finishing their conversation. If there's anything that Duo doesn't back down are arguments. "So what if it's a girl? Would you have shoot her if you were in my shoes?" he asked through the intercom.

No response.

"Yeah. Knowing you Heero, you would really shoot her. But you should have seen her. She was shaking like a leaf. She was just a kid. I might probably be the first person she had ever pointed a gun at. I don't kill -"

" - Duo."

"What?"

"Shut up. I have to contact Dr. J and tell him our mission's complete."

Duo sighed. "Yeah, yeah. I forgot you were the perfect soldier. And so - " but the lines were cut off.

Back at Camp…

"Hey Lara! Lady Une wants to see us now." Steve told Lysa when she got back.

"What?" she asked, aghast. Lady Une was one of the top officials in Oz. What is she doing in this military training camp and why would she want to see them? Oh no. Did she found out about the incident a while ago?

They quickly made their way to the command center. It was the first time she had set foot on that area. In fact only privileged and top cadets like Kenji have set foot on that place.

When they got there, Kenji along with their other teammates particularly Aya and Jeff were already there. But Lady Une was not yet present.

Just as Steve was about to ask the question, Lady Une, accompanied by two other young women entered the room. Immediately they saluted her. Much to Lara's annoyance. She had targeted Lady Une as one of her primary targets to destroy. Along with Treize Krushenada and Zechs Marquise. But today, she must not let that hatred show.

They sat down. They were inside one of the command center's conference rooms.

"Good evening everyone. I know this came as a surprise to all of you. You might even be wondering why your immediate officer is not here. To tell you frankly, this meeting is very confidential that not even Lt. Morris is allowed to join in this meeting. But first, let me introduce to you Jane Ridgeback and Nadia Guther. They will be joining your team for this very special assignment."

"They are really hot babes man!" Steve whispered to Kenji. Kenji just nodded. Lara ignored them. She noticed that both Jane and Nadia were looking at Kenji with some sort of amusement. Well she probably can't blame them. Kenji was really handsome and he projects a very distinct aura that draws women and sometimes men like honey is to bees. But during her few days with them, she knew that Kenji was an avid fan of Treize and believes that the war is the solution to the problem. That makes him her enemy. In fact, she is probably the only person in the room who had the right to make a grudge against Oz. Their families and colonies were not invaded unlike what happened to her.

"So you see, the Gundams have become stronger and has become an ally to most colonies. More people and colony heads are supporting their cause and have become enemies of Oz and Earth Federation. It was even rumored that Queen Relena supports them. Therefore the Rockefeller foundation decided that something must be done. All six of you will be involved in Project Mole. Your goal is to infiltrate each colony heads and destroy them. By destroying the head, you destroy its body." She handed out folders to each of them.

"This contains the specifics of your jobs. But basically, all of you will be our top spies. I know. You are all surprised. All of you have not yet graduated from the academy but you see, we've known that all of you are the top cadet's we have. I know you are all too young but let me tell you a secret." She paused. "The Gundam pilots are also teenagers like you. The foundation believes that if anyone could defeat them, it might be you guys."

Lady Une saw mixed emotions from her audience. "Lara" she called.

Lara immediately looked alert.

"I know you are confused. You are the youngest in this group and we know your physical abilities rank in the lower class but we know that your intellectual abilities are superior. Yes, you tried to downplay your abilities but your training in your former camp shows that you reveal your `talents' when your group mates are in danger. That is why we send you to this camp and involved you in Project Mole. I intend to see you improve your physical abilities while you trained." Then she addressed all of them with, "I shall leave you with Lt. Noin who will be in charge of your training along with Col. Zechs. All of you will be transferred to a secret camp where you shall be trained for three months."

After they saluted her, she made her exit leaving behind excited cadets. All, except Lara.

In an underground basement in another colony ……

"So they think they can defeat us with a bunch of kids eh?" Dr. J chuckled. He had just finished listening to the conversation involving Lady Une and the 6 kids.

"I don't know Doctor. I am still worried. You must understand, each of those children are superior and could be a match against our pilots."

"I very much doubt it Dr. Reeds. You are worrying over nothing."

"One of them is Treize Krushenada's nephew and one of the girls is a daughter of our colleague Professor Torentio."

Dr. J's eyes sparkled. "Indeed? But Professor Torentio wouldn't abandon one of his children. He is so much a family man!"

"I know Doctor. It's just that I was surprised when I saw her in the video. I last saw her two weeks before the colony was invaded so I know it is she. She changed her name to Perkins. Hmm, clever girl. Her father is in the wanted list. But I doubt it if the Oz knew about her. Should we tell the gundam pilots?"

"Not yet. I want to see if they will really interfere with our plans." Then he looked at Dr. Reeds with a knowing grin. "Looks like you have a plan in your head Dr. Reeds."

"Indeed I have Dr. J. Indeed I have…."
