Gundam Wing: NG
Chapter 2 - Three Stars
soon as Meg saw Cassi's finger on the trigger of the gun she started to get a bad feeling, of course she was packing herself as always. A girl couldn't be too careful these days she even carried it to school with her.

"If you're thinking of shooting him Cassi, then don't," She said, "We shouldn't work that way and besides if you shoot him I'll have to shoot you," Taking out her semi automatic c-tech handgun she Carefully itched the trigger.

"And don't think I'll miss ether. I've had lots of practice besides he's too cute to be shot."
rolled his eyes, "Put that thing down before you hurt someone." With that he took out his own gun calmly and aiming it at her, his finger at the ready, "or I'll just have to make you drop it." He narrowed his eyes, no longer the playful troublemaker they'd seen before.

"We're at a stalemate," Cassi observed. "I have no plans to shoot you Kaito, although I if did I wouldn't miss either. I just want to make sure you understand that this is now official Gundam Pilot business. I don't care who your parents are, the fact is, the unit of OZ Generation X are a lot stronger than our parents think. If our parents think they can 'prevent' this, they're seriously mistaken." She lowered her weapon, and placed it into a hook on her belt. "I've been watching them for months now, they've invented new fighting suits that I doubt any former warrior could beat. Our only chance now is to work together to stop them. Yeah, I know, we're Gundam Pilots, that isn't done, but that's the honest to god truth. Now I'm warning you Kaito, if you so much as tell anyone about anything I show you now, I will shoot you. Whether it be here or now or later on and else where, I'm not picky."

Over the next half hour, after they'd all decided not to shoot each other, Cassi showed them EXACTLY what OZ Generation X had created, via computer CD disks she'd managed to obtain.
suits with upgrades that surpassed technical modifications on any suit, and weapons like rifles with automatic reload cartridges. It was all there on these tiny disks, every tech specification OZ could come up with to force world order. Cassi didn't know and didn't care if they shocked her fellow pilots; she was more interested in seeing what the suits could do.

"There," she said finally. "Everything we currently know. I bet the 'preventers' didn't know HALF of this stuff did they Kaito?" Seeing him glare at her, she sighed.

"I know how much you admire your parents, honestly I do, but this is our fight now. Besides, the Sanq Palace is first on OZ Generation X's list of targets. When and where they attack, I don't know, but they will."

She'd barely finished her sentence, when a several small red lights began to flash around the hanger bay, flashing to the sound of a warning siren.

"Darn!" Cassi cried as her hands fled over the computer controls. The screen flashed on to satellite cameras positioned over the Earth, showing a large fleet of the new Taurus GX suits, heading right towards the Sanq Palace.

"They're impatient," Cassi muttered crossly. "You'll need your gundams," she told Meg and Kaito before heading over to her own mobile suit. "I have a feeling I won't be able to handle them alone, and remember Kaito, not a word. I'm an excellent shot with my suit to." That said, she sat in her Gundam's cockpit and closed the hatch, and pulled the harness on. Her voice boomed over a loud speaker near by.

"Get going, or our families will be flattened by those things, Dr. H will make sure you get to your suits in time. Till then, I'll hold them as best I can. I'm counting on both of you."

The hanger shook as Cassi switched her gundams engines on; it's eyes lit up green and as the doors above it opened, it soared out. I really am counting on them, she thought. I just hope they understand.
quickly looked around the hanger and quickly spied that two motorcycles were sitting in wait. Taking the red one of course she quickly buckled on her helmet and turned the key.

"Weeee!" Meg screamed as she zoomed from the hanger and down the streets of the sanq kingdom. She could see the army in the distance and quickly took a turn to the sanq palace. She knew underneath the large mansion was where her gundam Deathscythe Angel was being kept. Racing into the gates a guard started to yell at her.

"Slow yea crazy kid! Yer gonna kill someone!" The guard screamed waving his fist in anger.

Stopping the motorcycle in the front yard she quickly went in threw the front doors and ran towards the basement when she met up with the long platinum blond haired gundam pilot by the name of Zechs. She knew this man too well for her taste he would often come and go from her house to give preventer news and of course to keep an eye on Duo and make sure he and Heero weren't planning on blowing anyone or anything up.

"Where are you going?" Zechs asked.

"Listen, I don't have time for one of your lectures," She yelled, "I've got to get down to the hanger now!"

"Huh, the hanger, how did you know there was a hanger under the mansion!" Zechs yelled, "An army is on its way as we speak and you're not going down there!" He grabbed the girl's wrist, which she twisted away from his grip and swung around kicking the lightening baron into the wall and continued to run.

"Uhhh it's gonna be a long day," Zechs said as he quickly ran after Duo's child who could be described only as a miniature version of a hell raiser like her father. "I don't remember signing up for babysitting, urg!"

Meg quickly slid down the railing of the basement stairs and walked to a wall and tapped three times and then a small password code computer appeared. She quickly typed the world "Shinigami rules" into the computer.

'Password accepted,' The computer said, 'Welcome back pilot 02,' Meg quickly ran towards the dock where her father and the others were making weapon changes to some ms they had managed to salvage. They couldn't use there old ones since they got blown up.

"Meg what are you doing here!" Duo cried as his daughter ran past him.

"Shinigami Angel is its ammo and fuel restocked?" She asked and looked over to see Zechs running over.

"Hey Zechs what brings you down here other then the fact we're being attacked?" Duo chuckled.

"Is it restocked and fuelled!" Meg screamed.

"Yes but why...." Duo asked and suddenly saw her climbing into the cockpit. "No Meg get down there right now! I helped bring you into this world and by the hell I'll take you out!!!"

"Sorry dad but Shinigami doesn't die remember, even by your hands," Meg screamed as she closed the cockpit.

"Meg!" Duo screamed, as the holders broke free.

"Systems are all check, fuel check, weapons all go," Meg said as she typed the code into the gundam that would open the hanger gates.

Slowly in the backyard the rose garden broke apart to reveal a large gundam carrying a double sided scythe. "Gundam Deathscythe Angel let's go kick some major oz but!" She screamed as she turned on her thrusters and flew towards the enemy.

Meanwhile the former g-pilots in the hanger all looked at Duo with major death glares.

"What?" Duo asked looking confused, "So I sort of gave her a few lessons!"

"A few she just flew out of our hanger with the only gundam we have... Your lucky Trowa keeps his outside city limits or we'd have to rely on your stubborn stupid daughter!" Wulfei screamed.
face went white, "The kids were together weren't they? Damn it! If Kaito knows, he's probably on his way to Shadowarcher now!" He narrowed his eyes and headed to the computer pressing several buttons.

Meanwhile, Kaito had taken the second motorcycle and reached the spot where his father's gundam was kept. He smirked as he jumped in and did a quick systems check. moment later he was in the air and heading towards Sanq Palace. He kept his communications off, knowing that Ox Generation X had some of the best hackers on their side. If they learnt that he was a gundam pilot then his work behind enemy lines was over, along with his life if they had any say in it.

"He's got it," Trowa growled, "Heero, where do you keep your gundam? We'll need to use it to get the kids out of trouble before they get themselves killed."
chuckled from a ways off, "Oh relax dear. Kaito can take care of himself and I'm sure the girls can too. You know you were their age when you became gundam pilots and saved the world. What makes you think they can't do the same thing? Give them a chance and let them show us what they can do."

"I think Trowa's right, Meg's not the only one headed out there!" Quatre called as he activated the satellite link up. "There's already a Gundam out there!"

"Is it Trowa's?" asked Miss. Noin.

"No, it's one I haven't seen before."

"Wait, if the kids were together!" Miss. Noin exclaimed. "No it can't be! Cassi, I told her never to fight!" She moved to Quatre's side and began working on a radio channel to the gundam suits.

It was true, there was another gundam already out on the battlefield. Cassi had managed to get herself right into the fray of attacking Taurus GX suits before they could reach the Sanq Palace, and several were already surrounding her Gundam.
glared at the suits through her visual links, knowing all too well that she was probably being watched right now. Twirling her thermal energy glaive in a smooth motion, she whipped around and dug it right into one of the many suits encircling her and dragged it through them. It was like a hot knife going through butter, and instantly five suits exploded before her very eyes.

"Night Strike," she told her gundam. "If you've got that much power with one strike, this shouldn't be too hard. So let's see what else you can do!" She turned her engines on, and her gundam soared up as three suits opened fire and blasted each other to bits. Cassi grinned to herself, as her shoulder guns opened fire on two more suits.

"Oh yeah, the pilots are as thick as two short planks as well. What a breeze this'll be." It was at that time she noticed a flashing light in her gundam's cockpit, and turning her attention around for a second she saw another suit soaring towards the scene. It glided beautifully through the air; it just had to be Meg's suit.

"Nice of you to join in the fun!" she called over the gundams radio line. "Now let's just hope Kaito doesn't take his sweet time."
smirked as his gundam came into view of the palace. He could still hear the girls talking over the radio but he knew he couldn't reply. By now their parents probably knew it was them and they were probably flipping by now. He chuckled slightly at the thought.
stopped a ways off and pointed his crossbows at several moble suits, which were slightly farther from the girls so it was less likely that they'd get in the way. He smirked as he fired two shots and watched two moble suits fall to the ground. The arrows he used shut down moble suits completely. This saved from having to kill the pilots. Why kill them off when you could have them as prisoners and possibly get valuable information off them. He smirked as he set two more of his special arrows at two more moble suits. He then noticed two blips behind him indicating that the enemy was quite aware of him now. He quickly turned and sent several missiles from the compartment at his hands at the three moble suits behind him.

"Nice of you to join us," Cassi told him, and she seemed to sense he couldn't answer as she hadn't called him by name. "You want to help us do some damage? I mean, there are enough suits here for at least three battalions. I know you can't answer, but just blast away if you wish." That said she turned her attention back to the battle, obviously having taken a liking to her thermal energy glaive as she twirled her gundam around quite gracefully and sent three suits into oblivion.

She glanced over at Meg, who, with her Gundams own energy scythee, was having fun causing destruction behind her. She trusted Meg the most, probably because she was another girl, although it wasn't like she didn't trust Kaito, she just had to get used to his methods.
methods were all different, he preferred sparing lives, whereas she and possibly Meg liked destroying them. Cassi had never seen the point in being fair to the enemy, not when they decided to attack her family. Sure she and her mom rarely got along, but she'd never wish to loose her for the world.

"You shouldn't be out there," a voice called over their radio carrier waves. "Pull out before anything bad happens." Talk of the devil, Cassi thought decidedly.

"Is there a problem?" she asked innocently, although her video image to Meg's gundam showed a clear smirk on her face. She smirked even more as Meg shook her head with a chuckle and carried on fighting.

"Yes there is, what did I tell you about fighting?"

"Never to do it," Cassi responded in a sly voice.

"Why don't you listen to me then?"

"Think of the way our relationship is meant to work," Cassi responded cryptically. "Then you'll understand." That said she returned to fighting, ignoring her mothers agitated voice.
Maxwell!" A voice screamed and before her friends could replay her father came on the screen.

"Oh, hi daddy!" She said and waved,

"Don't you hi daddy me, get back here this instant!" Duo screamed.

"Maxwell tell your psychopath of a daughter to get her red head ass back here on the double and to bring back that gundam!" Wulfei screamed.

"I just did, so shut up!" Duo screamed.

"Look it's better for me to be out here then you dad!" She yelled.

"What your gonna get yourselves killed!" Duo screamed.

"Sorry dad but this is something I have to do," Meg said and closed off the com link.
"I repeat, this is the pilot of Gundam Deathscythe Angel come in."

"Hello Meg," Cassi called back on their private bandwidth, as she tried to conceal a snicker. "So your dad calls you by your full name when he's angry to huh? Talk about been one in the same, my mom does it to, I wouldn't worry though. How will they face us down now?" She whipped around and fired her suits machine gun at an attacking suit, before placing it back in it's holder as she managed to grab her glaive again. It had been shot out of her gundam's hands thanks to an enemy attack, but now she had it back they were going to pay, especially if they'd damaged it. Tiring of hearing her mother's voice, she closed the channel she'd opened.

The glaive came back on the first try, and with a ferocious swing, two suits were destroyed. She chanced a glance at Kaito, he was half destroying suits and half paralysing them or something, where as she and Meg were going all out and quite literally at that. She admired Meg, not because she was older, but because she was very skilled. Seeing her work the scythee was like seeing a master, it was very impressive.

"We're going to get a right yelling at after we're done here you know," she told her fellow pilots. "Unless we take our one remaining option and head off on our own." Sensing the feeling of unease after her words were said, she sighed and obliterated another suit.

"I'll leave that in your hands," she told them. "My mother will be mad, but I'd rather not stay here when she keeps trying to stop me fighting, or she might end up getting herself killed. Then again, we'll have to see from the outcome won't we?"

During this conversation, Quatre had managed to access the satellite controls to give them a better view of the battle scene. The place looked like a giant mobile suit scrap yard. Destroyed suits were lying everywhere from the fierce attacks Cassi and Meg had launched at the enemy suits, whilst a few remained intact due to Kaito's actions.

"You have to admit, they've definitely got our blood," he told his fellow pilots as he watched the two girl's suits barrel into 6 suits at the same time.

"The only difference is that they're managing to work together without argument. Look at Cassi and Meg go. I've never seen such good timing on an attack before."

"That's besides the point," Zechs told him. "Kids shouldn't be fighting these days. What if one day they die fighting?"

"They're Gundam Pilots now," Quatre responded lowering his head in remembrance. "Don't forget, there was a time we to would've given our lives for what we believed in, now it's their turn to show how they feel. The best way for them to do that, is if we let them fight. I know that goes against your wishes as they're your children, but trust me children must have a chance to show their feelings to. So let them be, ok, let them be."
smirked as he took down a few more suits. He kept trying to get the thought out of his head that he probably knew most of these pilots. He'd know that for sure sooner or later though. He was to meet up with one of his superiors in the morning.
sighed as he took down a couple more suits and glanced up at the girls. He wondered if they'd want to kill them still if they knew that most of these pilots were only kids their ages. OZ had seen what the first gundam pilots could do and decided to start training their own group of youth to fight for them. He had been transferred to the school where they were recruiting. It had taken him several months to get noticed but once they'd recruited him he went up the ranks of the young soldiers. He was now in charge of recruiting and helped to train the new recruits as well. He cursed at himself as he shot down a couple more moble suits. He should be concentrating on the fight not thinking about anything else. His father had taught him that a long time ago but somehow he seemed to be forgetting it.

Cassi and Meg were semi aware of how old the enemy pilots were, they knew the pilots were young, but as for how young they actually where, well that was unknown to them. Besides from their perspective, anyone who piloted for OZ was an enemy and that meant instant destruction. To Cassi it did anyway, although she wasn't sure what Meg thought. Turning her attention away from the other female pilot, she looked over at Kaito's suit. Was he struggling a bit over there or something? He seemed to be losing his concentration on the whole battle, and the enemy suits were picking up on this quite quickly and were heading in his direction, which explained why she and Meg were only fighting a handful of suits.
she mentally cursed. Kaito get a grip She swung at the last suit in front of her, destroying it. She noticed Meg had made short work of the last two on her flank, and both turned to count the amount of suits raining down on Kaito and his gundam.

They weren't the only ones to notice; the original pilots, Relena, Miss. Noin, Zechs and especially Kaito's parents were watching this worriedly. Kaito was vastly outnumbered and his battle skills were too closed in.

"Trowa, what's wrong with him?" asked Dorothy as she watched the suits gang up on her son. Trowa simply shook his head, he didn't know what his son was thinking.

"Come on Meg," Cassi called. "Looks like he needs help." As her gundam headed straight into the other suits, with its thermal energy weapon at the ready. With a swing, Cassi took out three suits on Kaito's flank. This gave them enough room to put their gundams between his and the remaining enemy suits.
"Are you ok?" Cassi called, concern etched in her voice as she raised her weapon defensively. "Raise an arm if you are." The gundam's arm was raised and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Meg screamed as she charged towards another ms and destroyed it, "This is better the time I snuck into that theatre to watch an r rated movie and got caught and then got chased for an hour straight around the theatre." She destroyed another mobile suit and slowly took her scythees, all of them, the ones on her gundams arms, leg and weapon stuck out and started to glow as it flew into the air.

"Angels Death!" Meg screamed her ultimate attack and her gundam came down its long devil like wings made the soldiers feel the impending doom that came closer towards them. The scythees cut right threw three ms and then seven more trying to surround her.

"Oh yea I am so hot I am on fire!" Meg cried and then her memory turned to her father. Her father wasn't overbearing or even over protective but going into battle for the first time she guessed really scared him. She was his only daughter. She could remember a few weeks ago when she was at her parent teacher conference because she had, uh, accidentally blown up the science lab...again.

<Flashback>

"Mister Maxwell as you know your daughter has already destroyed our art room, crashed our main computer system and now this!" The Principal yelled.

"Uh I'm sorry?" She said, "And besides it wasn't my fault with the computer thing my software sort of overloaded the system and besides at least now I wont have to know my final score on that big exam test, heh, heh, heh."

"This is nothing to laugh at Meg!" Duo scolded, "Uh if your mother were alive to see you now I don't know what in the name of Shinigami she would do with you. When I was in school I didn't cause this much trouble."
you must have been a good little boy." Meg chuckled and rolled her eyes.

"We'll pay for the damages and Meg here would be happy to help out!" Duo said.

"No I wouldn't," She said.

"Excellent, I'll see you in detention tomorrow Miss Maxwell, dismissed." The Principal said.

In the car Meg was sighing as she watched the other cars go driving by her.

"But really Meg why do you have to take after me? Even I didn't cause this much trouble," Duo said.

"No you only blew up mecha's," She sighed and looked at him, "Besides I know there hiding something, no teacher or principal walks that straight without military influence."

"That's enough Meg, look I just..." Duo said and sighed, he wasn't very good at this whole punishing thing, "I just hate to see you get hurt ok...besides we're going to the sanq kingdom in a few days ok."

"Sanq kingdom isn't that where that women you keep calling the evil of all evils lives?" Meg asked.

<End Backflash>

Slowly looking down she opened her com link to Cassi as she went to help her and Kaito.

"Cass I'm with you on going solo" She said, "I don't wont to get my dad or anyone else involved in this thing. I have the perfect place to run off to...it's called Sabel Island it's in Canada off the coast of Newfoundland. Nothing's there but horses and lots of seals." With that she blew up another ms and awaited Cassi and Kaito's response. "Are you in too Kaito?"
lowered her eyes to the com button, wandering whether or not to answer. Sighing she decide she'd better.

"Like I said, it depends how things go Meg," she told her. "Right now, lets try and keep these suits away from Kaito ok? Then we'll talk about it." She sighed and slashed through several more suits, momentarily turning her gaze to see if Kaito was back on his feet again.

Kaito didn't answer. He knew he couldn't go with them. He needed to stay and watch the enemy. Someone had to find out what they were doing and if it wasn't him, then who would it be? He'd stay with Oz and send any information he got, to the girls. He sighed as he took down two more ms's with his arrows. Thank god the girls were holding them off him. He gundam was made more for long range attacks. His arrows were no good at close range and neither were his missiles and other weapons. He took out another ms that was coming up behind Cassi and then backed off as several came his way and fired his missiles at them taking two more out. There were only a few left by this time however.
gave him a grateful wave with her Gundam's hand, before turning to help destroy the remaining mobile suits. That didn't take long with Megs help, and soon all that was left were a few deactivated mobile suits.
three gundams stood amongst the rubble, weapons and shields lowered. Cassi and Meg had deactivated their thermal energy weapons, and were reclining in their cockpits' seats. They were tired no doubt about that, as if they didn't have that to worry about, they soon saw both their parents coming towards the scene with the others in a couple of jeeps. Kaito's gundam was static too, he was probably exhausted himself.

Miss. Noin pulled her jeep to a stop and jumped out, angrily glaring up at the black and silver gundam her daughter was piloting, whilst Quatre and Wufei went to retrieve the only pilots who were still alive. Cassi and Meg were both horrified when the pulled out a handful of teenagers, their enemies were just kids like them and they'd killed most of them.

"Darn," Cassi growled as she slammed her fist onto the arm of her gundam. "What is OZ thinking?"

"Cassidy Noin!" Miss. Noin yelled as the unconscious teens were led away in Zech's jeep. "You open that cockpit right now young lady." Cassi unbuckled her harness, and activated the release mechanism on her gundam's cockpit door. It flipped open so it was horizontal and flat, and she tiredly walked out.

The light was brighter than in her cockpit, and glared in her eyes. She rubbed them tiredly, before sitting down on the edge of the door. "Yeah mom," she called as she heard the doors on Meg's gundam open. Meg walked out and casually albeit tiredly leant against the side of it.

"You are to get down here right now," Miss. Noin yelled at her. "You know I forbade you from fighting, and don't say anything about your father. He's not here, I am and I refuse to see my daughter fight in wars."

"Miss. Noin please," Quatre soothed resting a gentle hand on her arm.

"Mother," Cassi told her quietly as she saw Kaito appear from his gundam's cockpit.
and I discussed something during the fight. I'm not sure what Kaito thinks or wants to do, but Meg and I are going solo."

"You're what?" Wufei growled. "Are you serious? Are you going with them Barton?" He aimed his question at Kaito, who just stared at him quietly for a moment, as if contemplating how to tell them and the girls, that he'd be staying.
Would you miss me old man?" Kaito smirked all of a sudden. He sighed as he jumped calmly down from his gundam and walked over to the parents then glanced over to the two girls sadly, "I'm staying. Sorry girls, but there's something I've got to do here. First thing to do is to talk to the remaining OZ pilots."
looked almost disappointed at the teens answer. No doubt he'd been praying that Kaito would leave. The boy had always been a troublemaker to him.

"Ok Kaito," Cassi smiled as she stood up and stretched her whole body to relieve the cramps she'd received. "If you ever want to catch up with us, you'll know where to find us." She stared down at her mother, whilst brushing a strand of her blue hair behind her ear again. She could see that despite the angry look on her mothers face, there was sadness in her blue eyes. She couldn't really blame her for that though, she was losing her only daughter after all.

"I'm sorry mother," she apologised calmly, as she turned around so she wouldn't have to see her mothers face change to pure sadness. "I won't be gone forever, but I will be gone for a while. Night Strike needs fixing, and well, we'll be quite a distance away. Goodbye mom." Fighting back a wave of sadness herself and furiously dashing away a falling tear, Cassi returned to the cockpit of her gundam. She sat down, buckled her safety harness and momentarily turned to look at Meg, who'd gotten down from her gundam's cockpit door.

"I'll leave you to say your goodbye's Meg," she told her. "Catch up with me when you're done. Oh and goodbye to Kaito and everyone else." That said she closed the cockpit doors to her gundam, and turned it around so it was facing the way to Canada. Activating its engines, she pushed it into the air, and moved it away till it was merely a dot in the sky, also radioing ahead to ask Dr. H to get a base set up over there. This of course left Meg to say goodbye to her father alone, something Cassi thought she'd best do alone.

"Megan Maxwell!" Duo screamed and grabbed his daughter by the front of the shirt and shook her. "You scared the bejesus out of me young lady, you are grounded so bad until you..." Suddenly Duo heard Cassi saying that she and Meg were going solo then taking off.

"What you're not serious I hope!" Duo screamed and shook her more.

"Dad if you..keep. shaaakking meeee i'm ggonna hurllll!" She said trying to get her words out.

"Oh," Duo said and stopped shaking her.

"Yes me and Cassi are going solo," Meg said, "And if you got a problem you can ground me but you know what always happens."

"What happens?" Noin asked.

"I always escape even if the windows are bolted shut," She said and chuckled.

"Yea, and I haven't figured out how the heck she does it yet!" Duo said.

"Kaito listen I know you wanna stay I except that decision" Meg said and walked up towards him and kissed him on the cheek, "Just don't go getting yourself killed I wanna meet you again alive not in a coffin."

"Listen I know if I stay any longer your gonna chain me and drag me home so...." Meg said and jumped into her cockpit and waved goodbye to her father. 'Goodbye I love you."

"Meg!" Duo cried as the gundam took off into the air.

Meg soon saw Cassi in the distance and the two sped off into the sky together.
