Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Notes: I am seriously screwing with the GW world. I got the idea from a techno-ized version of a Braveheart song.

Warnings: There are going to be a couple of deaths. I'm not going to tell you who but they will die. And there is Major Angst. So be prepared. Another thing, towards the end it will get kind of gross….But don't worry I will label that specific chapter for you.

It was another hot day and yet again Zechs was in a hot conference room listening as the L3 representative argued about money with the L2 representative. Zechs wished he could strangle them with his hair. He sighed again and looked at the pad he was supposed to be using to write notes in, but he was really just drawing stick people. He heard a beep and then the view screen on one side of the conference room turned on and he saw King Dermail's face. He made a slightly disgusted look, some people should not be seen that close up. He schooled his expression and stood to address him, but King Dermail spoke first.

"Hello gentlemen. Have you signed the agreement yet?"

Zechs sighed and shook his head, "No sir. We are still in discussion about it."

"Well let me help speed up the process. If you don't sign it soon I will destroy a part of each colony."

The representatives all leapt to their feet stating many things but mostly that he couldn't do that. Dermail just smirked at them and when they had quieted Zechs moved to speak.

"With all due respect King Dermail this Alliance was to bring peace and to make allies between you and the colonies. Threatening them is not the answer sir."

"Who says I'm threatening. I expect your answer soon. Good day gentlemen."

Then Dermail cut the connection. Zechs stood shocked, this didn't sound like a thing a man who wanted peace would say. His doubts flared to life again and he wondered if Treize was really guiding him down the right path. Zechs tuned out the other representatives as they started to protest at him. Soon the noise grew to an unbearable level and Zechs couldn't tune them out anymore.

"SILENCE!"

The other representatives shut up immediately. They looked to him and for the first time Zechs didn't know what to do. He wanted to consult Treize but he couldn't do that now. These men needed an answer and they were looking to him to give it to them. He thought of what he could do and it suddenly came to him.

"Listen, we'll resume these talks on the colonies. Each week we'll move to a different colony. During that week the colony's representative will show us exactly what he needs and then we can better make arrangements. Do we have an agreement?"

The delegates looked at each other and slowly as a group they nodded their heads. Zechs smiled at them and moved to the door.

"Well I suggest you get ready then, we'll leave tomorrow and head to L5 first."

Then he left the room and walked down the hall to the front door. His thoughts wandered to the past few months and he was trying to figure out what he was supposed to do. It took a few minutes but he got his thoughts in order just as his car was pulled around. He got in and the car took off towards Treize's estate.

Was he doing the right thing was one of the many questions assaulting his mind. Not only has King Dermail shown himself to be a cruel ruler but not all that bright. It seemed like he was getting help from someone. Zechs didn't know why he thought that but it was an inkling he had been having. Then there were these new Gundams that had popped up out of the woodwork. The colony representatives seemed to have no idea who they were and they quickly denied that they had anything to do with them. So these pilots had to be rebels but they weren't associating themselves with known rebel groups. They seemed to be fighting their own fight.

The car stopped and Zechs let himself out of the car. He walked on autopilot into the estate, he was still deep in thought as he walked upstairs and down the hall to his room. He passed Treize's room and heard him talking. That brought him out of his wonderings. He stopped to hear what he was saying since Treize never called anyone or talked to anyone but him or his doctor. The door was slightly ajar so he edged closer. It sounded like he was talking to Dermail but he couldn't be sure since the voices were too muffled to actually hear what they were saying. The conversation didn't last long and he heard Treize rise and pick up a bottle. Zechs furrowed his eyebrows and thought about this but he didn't like the way his thoughts were going. If it was Dermail, why was he talking to him and for what purpose? He shook his head and decided he would confront Treize later about this. He needed to get ready to leave.

Zechs walked away from the door and continued to his room and started to pack. While he was packing Treize walked into the room. He looked fine but he was smirking lightly. Zechs looked at him quizzically, "Something up Treize?"

"Oh nothing. Just had a good afternoon."

"I heard you talking in your room. Who were you talking to?"

Zechs watched Treize closely but Treize never flinched or tensed. He sighed and figured that his overactive imagination was running away with him again. Although he couldn't shake the feeling that Treize shouldn't be trusted.

"Just an old friend. Why, are you jealous?"

Zechs smirked at him and came up to him. He wanted to touch him so badly but Treize hated for anyone to touch him now. "Yes. You're mine."

Treize smiled then looked behind Zechs.

"Going somewhere?"

"Yes, Dermail threatened the colonies."

Zechs didn't know how much to reveal to his lover but he still had a sense of trust with Trieze.

"Really, well that's poor form. We're you going?"

"We're going to L5. You can come with us if you like."

"Hmm….I don't know."

"I'll make sure we get a private shuttle and no one will see you if that's what's worrying you."

"I guess so. When do we leave?"

"Tomorrow and thank you for coming."

"Don't worry about it. I have to go pack now. I'll see you for dinner, right?"

"Yes."

Zechs watched as Treize left room and doubts about everything settled into his head. Treize had accepted too easily and Treize never talked to old friends. He continued to pack while vowing that he'll keep a closer eye on Treize.

Dermail was slowly losing his patience with everything. The Alliance had still not come to an agreement, those Gundams were wrecking havoc with his bases, and his son was acting like a lovesick puppy. He wanted to kill something and fast. He suddenly smirked when he thought of the perfect thing. He put a direct call to the meeting and waited for the meeting room to show up on his screen. When it finally showed up on his screen he smiled.

"Hello gentlemen. Have you signed the agreement yet?"

Zechs stood at the head of the table, "No sir. We are still in discussion about it."

"Well let me help speed up the process. If you don't sign the agreement soon I will destroy a part of each colony."

Most of the men in the room paled but stood to protest. Zechs stood shocked at the revelation. Dermail was instantly pleased about their reaction. He was going to cut the connection then, but Zechs spoke again.

"With all due respect King Dermail this Alliance was to bring peace and to make allies between you and the colonies. Threatening them is not the answer sir."

Dermail growled. He couldn't believe that Zechs would say that to him. He was assuaged with the thought that once this was all over, Zechs would be dead and so would his informant. He smiled wickedly at the delegates and said, "Who says I'm threatening. I expect your answer in three days. Good day gentlemen."

Dermail smirked then cut the connection. He leaned back in his seat and smiled. Soon, he would have control of everything. Now all he had to do was find those pesky Gundams. He patched in another call and sat back to wait. Soon, Noin popped up onto his screen.

"Yes, sir?"

"Have you found anything?"

"Yes sir. They have attacked several bases and we found some of their weaknesses."

"Good do you have a plan of attack?"

"Yes sir."

"Very good, Noin. I want them captured and interrogated if possible. Then I will decide what to do with them later."

"Very well sir."

"That's all Noin."

Dermail again cut the connection and smiled lazily. Finally things seemed to be going his way.
