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.

The wedding was a huge affair and many people turned out for it. Relena was sitting in her chambers with Dorothy by her side. Dorothy soothed her while they waited for a servant to tell them it was time. It seemed like forever before a servant knocked on their door signaling it was time to go. Dorothy stood with Relena and smiled at her.

"I love you Relena."

"And I you, Dorothy."

They shared one last kiss. When they pulled apart, Relena straightened and smiled at Dorothy. Dorothy moved behind her to pick up her train that was trailing behind her. They walked out the doors and towards the wedding ceremony.

After the wedding they were all gathered in the big ballroom waiting. Relena smiled falsely as she held onto her husband's arm. Her husband did the same but you could tell he wasn't happy. The only one not in attendance was Dermail. It seemed he was too ill to leave the bed. There was a huge vid screen situated in the ballroom. As the wedding present was about to commence. Relena grimaced at the amount of people out there and how happy they seemed to be watching some one get executed. Relena smiled once more and looked to her husband.

"Excuse me husband, but I would look like to check on your father."

"Go ahead."

With that she turned and gestured for Dorothy to stay, she needed to do this alone. Relena swiftly exited the ballroom and went to where Dermail was resting. When she came in she saw the doctor standing over him. The doctor turned when he heard someone enter, and smiled when he saw the princess. He walked over to her and said, "He's not doing well. I don't expect him to live much longer. It seems he wants to watch the execution."

She smiled and told him he was dismissed. The doctor strode out the room. When he was gone she frowned but moved towards the bed. There she found the King lying propped up on pillows with a vid screen on a stand to the right of the bed. The King looked over at her and smiled fractionally, "Coming to check on me my dear?"

"Why yes, my king. How are you feeling?" She said with fake sincerity.

"Not so well, but hopefully I will feel better soon."

"Yes hopefully."

They lapsed into silence. The only sound was from the television. They heard the crowds cheer as the prisoner was brought out. They kept cheering but soon it stopped completely as they saw the horror that was happening. Relena tried to keep her tears at bay. She looked at the King and was angered when she saw his pleased expression. But she also noticed that he seemed to be not getting enough air.

Relena jumped when she heard Heero yell loudly then all movement from him stopped. She watched as the axe came down and severed his head from his body. She looked over at the King to see him smiling but soon it turned into fright when he couldn't get air. He began panting for air and tried to speak. He reached for Relena, hoping she could be of some help. Relena just smirked at him. She leaned over to him and began whispering in his ear, "Are you alright? It doesn't seem so…it looks to me like you're dieing. You will get no help from me, nor will I call for anyone. But before you die I want you to listen to me. Heero Yuy might have died in body but not in spirit. His spirit lives in the people who believed in him. In other words, his spirit lives in me. Once you're dead, I'll take over and peace will come to the Earth and Colonies but not as a dictatorship but as an alliance. Everything you've worked for will die with you. And your son, we both know he's a pushover. I'll make sure he'll live out the rest of his days somewhere comfortable, but he'll never rule. Oh and if you think I'm naïve you're wrong. I wrote the treaty specifically so that once you die everything is given to me. So die happy knowing that everything you fought for will never come to be."

With that she leaned back and watched in satisfaction as a look of horror spread across his face. Then he sucked in his last breath and he was dead. She calmly stood and turned off the vid screen. She then moved to the door and called for the doctor. The doctor hurried in followed by Relena and confirmed that Dermail was dead. She thanked the doctor and made her way to the ballroom.

Dermail heard the wedding went off without a hitch. He couldn't move much or breath very well. He couldn't even be there for the wedding but he didn't care much. He had a vid screen brought in so he could watch the execution. He looked up when he heard the door open and he smiled slightly when he saw Relena enter.

He watched the execution with pleasure surging through his bones. Even though the boy had been defiant and didn't give in, it didn't take the pleasure of his death away. After the boy was dead he smiled but it soon turned to fear when he couldn't get air. He looked to Relena for help but all he saw was a smile on her face. Then she started to speak. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He tried to speak his disbelief but he couldn't. His ideals would die with him and right now he didn't want to die. His eyesight was fading and the world became blurry. He heard a dark chuckle and his world became violet with a splash of dark blue. He felt pain surge through him from the bottom of his soul and he screamed but not a sound passed his lips.

The people in the ballroom looked overly distressed and disgusted with the execution. They all turned when the princess made her way to the front. With a flick of her hand one of the guards turned off the vid screen. She then turned to the people present, "It is with my deepest regret to inform you that King Dermail has died."

Everyone looked shocked but no one was overly upset and some even looked relieved. The prince especially. It took a few months but Relena was finally made Queen and the first order she made was to absolve the royalty. She made the country a democratic country. The people were pleased and they cheered for her. They even asked if she would run for presidency but she politely refused. She went to her homeland of Sanc and did the same thing there. Her people were mildly upset but once she explained that it was better for her people they agreed. She then worked to make a world council, which included the colonies. She knew that the peace was fragile and words alone could not stop a war. So she proposed to have an organization made that would protect the peace.

Unfortunately the war had not ended with the death of Heero Yuy. Many of Dermail's troops still resisted, believing in Dermail's ideals. Zechs didn't understand why he was standing outside Miss Peacecraft's office door rather than fighting. Well he understood that Relena had called him there for something important but he couldn't for the life of him figure out why. He heard a discrete cough from behind him and he turned to the secretary. She looked at him strangely but he ignored it and went into the office.

Relena sat looking over files and signing papers. She looked up when he cleared his throat. She looked up and smiled at him. She stood and moved to shake his hand.

"Zechs Merquise, right?"

"Yes."

"Good, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Miss Peacecraft."

She laughed at him and sat down at her desk., "Please call me Relena."

"Okay. Relena why did you call me here?"

"I have a proposition for you. I have heard of your leadership abilities and was wondering if you would like a job."

"Doing what?"

"I'm organizing an organization called the Preventers. They will prevent future wars from happening and take care of the skirmishes that are still happening. I was wondering if you would like to head this organization."

Zechs was shocked that she had come to him with it. He didn't know if he was really qualified for this position, "I don't know Relena. I will have to think it over."

"That's fine. Unfortunately I will need your response before five this afternoon."

"I will give you my response by then."

"Thank you, Mr. Merquise. Please if there is anything we can do for you, don't hesitate to ask."

"Thank you."

Zechs left the office in thought. He walked around the grounds trying to figure out if he should take the position. He didn't want to keep fighting, but he did want to keep the peace going. He didn't know if he could trust someone else taking the reigns of this organization though. He didn't want another Treize or Dermail. He took another couple of hours to really think about it before making up his mind. He went back to the office and walked into the room to the consternation of the secretary. Relena looked up in surprise but smiled all the same. The secretary glared at Zechs then turned to Relena.

"Miss Relena, I'm sorry he just walked in here."

"It's quite alright."

The secretary nodded her head and left the room. Relena sat in her chair and gestured for him to have a seat.

"I thought about your offer."

"And your response?"

"I will lead the Preventers."

"That's great. Thank you so much for doing this."

"I know where I'm needed, Relena. Thank you for giving me the opportunity."

"It's not a problem really. Now you are going to need a staff. Do you have anyone in mind as a preliminary staff?"

"Yes, but I will need your help to contact some people."

"Just ask and I will help you with anything you need."

Zechs nodded his head and they both got down to figuring out what was needed for the new organization.
