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.

After leaving Sanc they met up with the resistance force in a small village in China. They landed their Gundams in a dense forest not to far away from the village. They camouflaged the Gundams and walked to the coordinates listed. They noticed the rat tag group of soldiers before the soldiers noticed them. The pilots quietly observed the group noticing that their clothing looked tattered and burned in some places. A story of their many fights against Dermail. In the middle of this group stood a woman with her hair in two twisting pigtails on either side of her head. They approached the group slowly not wanting them to get spooked and fire on them. She looked at the approaching four young men with a little bit of fear and excitement. She took a couple of paces forward and stopped. They both sized each other up and then Sally was the first to break the silence, "I'm Sally Po and this is part of the resistance army."

Heero nodded at them and then he spoke, "Heero Yuy."

"I'm Quatre."

"Trowa Barton."

"Chang Wufei."

"Well it's a pleasure to meet you. Well come on, I'll show you to our camp."

Sally, in a show of trust, turned her back to them and proceeded to lead them to the camp. The pilots looked to Quatre, asking silently if he trusted them. Quatre smiled at them and followed Sally while the other three followed him. The camp wasn't that big but it wasn't small either. Hundreds of men stood milling about, some were training while others were resting in their tents or talking with the other soldiers. Sally showed them everything they around the camp while telling them about what kind of set up they had. The four boys followed silently while cataloging everything they saw.

"Alright well that's the camp. There used to be more of us but Dermail's army of dolls have gotten better."

"Thank You Miss Po." Said Quatre.

"Your welcome and call me Sally."

They worked well with each other and for several weeks they had many successful missions. Heero working the hardest of them all.

Heero was lonelier than he ever imagined he could be. Every morning he would wake looking for his lover's beautiful hair and violet eyes but every morning he would wake to cold reality. His lover was dead and wouldn't be coming back. But his dreams were exquisite torture. He would dream of being in his lovers arms, caressing, kissing, making love to his beautiful angel, but would wake to a cold lonely bed.

One night he fell asleep, exhausted from working so hard. He all but fell on to his cot and was asleep as soon as his head touched the pillows. In his dream he was on his cot looking up at the moon. A dark shadow fell over his face and he looked up to see who it was. The figure was hidden in the shadows with only a faint outline to give him away. The figure approached Heero and into the moonlight. The first thing that Heero saw was the body. The figure had on black form fitting clothing, a silver cross glinting in the moonlight. Heero looked up into the face and gasped as he saw a long chestnut braid and violet eyes. "Duo" he sighed as he looked up at him. The figure moved and Heero could see black feathery wings that adorned Duo's back. But none of that mattered when he saw the pale heart shaped face of his lover. He was smiling gently at him.

"Hello Heero." The smooth voice said as Duo knelt next to Heero who was still laying on the cot.

Heero sobbed and threw himself at Duo. He wrapped his arms around Duo and Duo did the same. Duo gently rocked him as he sobbed, soothing him like a child. The black wings encircled Heero keeping him safe within Duo's arms. Heero soon stopped his crying and looked up at Duo through tear filled eyes, "I miss you."

"I know. I miss you too. But you have to get up now."

"No I don't want to. I want to stay here with you."

"You can't Heero. As much as I would like you too, you can't. You need to wake up."

"I love you Duo."

"I love you as well. Now wake up Heero."

Heero woke with a gasp and looked around. Instead of lying in his cot he was sitting on the floor. He looked around frantically but there was no one in there with him. He let out a choked sob realizing it had all been a dream. He had to force his body to get itself under control and that's when he heard it. A faint rustling sound coming from the trees surrounding the camp.

He got his gun and shoved it into the back of his shorts. He walked out and looked out towards the trees trying to determine where the sound was coming from. He heard the faint rustling again and he pinpointed it coming from his left. He silently made his way there using the shadows as cover.

He made his way into the woods and looked around to see what could have made the noise. His every instinct was telling him something bad was coming and it wasn't just an animal. He caught a flash of silver and his eyes widened as he saw Dermail's troops closing in on them, and fast. He rushed back as fast as he could without alerting the coming troops he had saw them. When he got back to the camp he shot is gun into the air once. The signal that they were going to be attacked.

When the incoming troops heard the gunfire they started to yell and crashed through the trees. By the sounds of it the camp was surrounded. The three other pilots all converged where Heero was and he just pointed to the trees. The incoming troops started firing into the camp before they even reached it. The other soldiers tried to get out quickly but some just weren't fast enough. The pilots knew that it was fruitless to shoot at something you couldn't see so they held off on their shots. The other men in the camp, though, started to shoot at the forest. Some got in a lucky shot and you would hear a faint scream or thud but most of them missed.

The pilots raced towards Sally's tent and found it to be empty. The searched the camp and found her behind a crate firing into the forest. Heero made his way to her while signaling the others to get in their Gundams. The others took off silently, shooting at any enemy stupid enough to be seen.

"Sally, we have to go. We're surrounded. Call a retreat. We'll meet you at the new coordinates."

Sally nodded and fired three times at a bell hanging in the middle of the camp. The men hearing the bell fled towards the jeeps standing at the edge of the camp. Sally ran to the jeeps as well, while Heero ran for his Gundam. The other three Gundams were laying cover fire for the Jeeps to get away. Heero started his Gundam and helped the others in escaping. Dermail's troops seeing the Gundams helping retreated back to the forest. The pilots made sure that the resistance group wasn't followed while flying off to meet them at the new coordinates.

They met up with Sally in a small town in New Russia. Her men were tired and their numbers were depleted. She looked sadly at them and then back to the man she was trying to save. She spoke to them while stitching a wound in the man's side.

"We lost over half of them trying to escape."

"We are truly sorry for your loss Sally." Said Quatre.

They stayed silent and out of the way. Wufei went off to see if he could offer any assistance to them. Sally and Wufei worked quietly but quickly and soon most of the soldiers were bandaged. A weary Sally walked back to the other pilots with Wufei in tow.

"Thank you for your help, Wufei."

"Think nothing of it. It would have been a grave injustice to not use my skills."

Sally nodded her head in understanding, then looked at them, "So what is the plan?"

"We are going to space." Quatre said.

"Space?"

"Yes, Dermail has started to destroy parts of the colonies and we must go and protect them. We thank you for everything you have done for us."

"That is no problem. We fight for peace and we are proud to call you allies. You guys take care in space."

"We will."

With that said the four Gundam pilots turned and left. They raided a nearby base for shuttles to take them into space. The fight didn't last long and soon they were in space. Quatre called Howard and found he was also in space on a ship called Peacemillion. Quatre got the coordinates and directed the other three pilots there. Soon they found the ship and docked with it. When they got inside they saw Howard walk up to them.

"Hey boys how are you holding up?"

"Fine Howard."

"What can I do for you?"

"We need you to outfit the three Gundams for space flight and fighting. They weren't outfitted like Wing."

"Of course, I will get my boys right on it."

"Thanks Howard."

"Oh Heero, I want to show you something."

Heero looked at him quizzically but followed him all the same. Howard led him out of the bay they were in and into a darkened bay and turned on the lights. There stood Deathscythe looking ready for battle. Heero gasped in shock as he looked at the Gundam.

"It doesn't work, we did what you said. It's really only a shell, but I thought it needed to look like it could fight. I thought Duo would have wanted it that way."

Heero could only nod his head as he slowly made his way to it. Howard left the boy alone and wandered back to the other bay to help work on the three Gundams.

Heero walked up to the Gundam and looked up into it's eyes. He reached a hand out and lightly touched the metal. It was cold to the touch but that didn't matter to Heero. He slowly climbed up the Gundam until he got to the hatch he was surprised when he could open it. There wasn't much left in the cockpit. Just a chair and a few handles. He sat in the chair and manually closed the hatch. He settled back into the seat and closed his eyes. He remembered all the good times he had with Duo. He started smiling and snuggled back into the chair. He could pretend that the chair was actually Duo and he was snuggling into his arms. He felt warmth around him in the form of arms and sighed. He didn't dare open his eyes, he couldn't face the reality that it was only his imagination. He swore he could almost smell Duo's scent. He sighed happily and soon he was asleep.

His dreams were filled with Duo again. Duo smiling at him, kissing him, caressing him and all the happy times as well as some of the sad. He was just getting into the good part of the dream when he was abruptly awoken when the cockpit was opened. The warmth he felt before wasn't there anymore and he shivered from the cold. Trowa stood outside looking at him, "We're having a meeting in the cafeteria. We need to discuss what we're going to do."
