Chapter 1: Military Leader
Anrui read the list of name's from who had died. He let out a cry of joy to find that none of his family was on the list. They had all made it to safety.

Quatre opened his mail box to find a letter addressed to him. It said:

TO: Quatre Rabarbra Winner
From: Lady Katai

Our colony's army force's are low. We need more soldiers. Our colony(s) plead out to you for your help. We need YOUR help. If you choose to accept this mission, report to the space launching site at 5:00 PM tomorrow night.

Quatre folded up the letter and placed it on a table in his apartment. This was troubling. Hadn't he said he was going to forget about her? No. That was silly. But he didn't want to fight. Hadn't he finished with fighting a long time ago? Even when he had fought with his Gundam never got involved in these things. Yet...this was a chance to see Katai again, to help her. Yes. He would do it. He was acting like a silly nit-wit. He would do it.

Duo, Wufei, Heero, Relina (she didn't want to go because of peace reasons) , Anrui, and Trowa all opened there mail box's to find the same thing. After long discussing all of them but Relina agreed to go and help out.

The mansion had been the first thing they had repaired and rebuilt after the bombing.

Katai paced the room nervously waiting for them to come. Heiki entered the room and announced them, "Master Duo, Master Trowa, Master Quatre, Master Wufei and Master Heero." They all lined up in front of a large wooden desk. Katai stood behind the desk in a white shirt with buttons down the front and a medal on her left, and white dress pants. Her hair was tied back in a tight bun. Her hands were clenched tight with white gloves on. "You all know why I asked you to come here. I want you all to be the generals of all five armies that are on this colony at the moment. We are getting more and more recruits in each day. I shall have a maid show you each to your rooms. I expect you all to be up early to start helping out with the army. Good night." Quatre was about to follow the others as they followed a maid out. Instead he turned around and opened his mouth to say something to Katai but she just shook her head silencing him. Quatre closed his mouth turned back towards the doorway and walked out.

Katai stumbled out of her room the next morning dressed in a plain long white dress with her hair tied back into a bun again. She went down to the breakfast table to find Duo, Heero, Quatre, Trowa, Wufei and Anrui already sitting at the table. They were all dressed in the same uniform, dark blue pants and a lighter blue shirt with the colonies logo on the left chest pocket. She yawned and said, "I guess you really took me seriously when I said get up early." Sitting down she grabbed a box of cereal and poured herself some. Her little sister walked into the room. "This is my little sister Amy." Katai said through a mouthful of cereal. Duo looked at the small child, she looked not more then seven years old, she had medium length brown hair, and the same hazel eyes as her sister, Katai.

After breakfast Katai returned to the military room for a conference with all the military head's, all the others followed her. Quatre was shocked to see how much Katai was respected among the military commanders, they all seemed to listen intently to what she had to say and answer carefully as not to anger her. All of the Gundam boys sat in hard back seats in front of a long wooden table. Katai went on pointing at a map she explained were everybody was going to be stationed and what shifts they were going to take to defend the colony. She also explained who was going to be flown off to the other colonies to defend them. After hours of organizing and explaining they all walked out of the room with there brains full of information and military commands. Katai, Quatre and Anrui were the first three going up on the lead rank the farthest away from the colony. They were to warn the rest if something happened and also to defend until others came. Katai went to her room without a word to any of them. Maybe she had been stupid, no this was for the good of the colony, she knew that the MMPU would attack today most likely, and that most likely her, Quatre and Anrui wouldn't come back alive then. But she had to have some of the best on the front line and also she had to be on the front line to command. That met risking all there lives, but yet wasn't that part of being a leader? Making decisions?

Katai changed into her own uniform. She took a deep breath then walked out of her room to a find a waiting Quatre and Anrui still in there uniforms. "You ready?" She asked not really expecting an answer because they all knew they weren't ready. She led them down to were they kept there mobile suits. Pointing out one for the Quatre. "That will be the one you will fly. I'll be in my Gundam and Anrui in his. They'll be loaded up on the spaceship by 2:00 PM today. Be ready by then."

Katai, Anrui and Quatre sat in there mobile suits, floating in space. Katai was searching around them trying to stay calm.

Anrui gulped and pointed at something in the distance. Katai looked at what he was pointing at, her heart almost stopped when she saw. Scanning the distance she saw row after row of ships, gundams and laser beams sent by the MMPU. Quatre looked at Katai and said, "Where's the closest line of mobile suits from the colony. We're going to need help until all the colonies can launch there men." She nodded and said, "Ten minutes away to the south. I'll send them a message." She picked up the walky-talky she had placed in her cockpit. "We need help down here there's about 5000 men from MMPU coming in." She said into the mouth piece trying to keep her voice from trembling. "Fine but Lady Katai you should go back to the colony. If they kill you we won't even have a strong leader anymore."

"I WILL NOT GO BACK! I'm going to FIGHT to defend the colonies! I'm NOT running and hiding!" Katai screamed. "Okay, Okay will be there in ten minutes." Katai took on a fighting stance, waiting. One single mobile suit came forward from the group coming to them. She took it to be MMPU's leader. "This is are first and final warning. Back down now or will kill you and your friends and when we take over the colonies don't expect any of the people to be happy."

Katai looked at him with disgust. "We will NOT back down. I'll fight to the death to save the ten colonies."

"Foolish idiot girl. Look at the odds 3 Vs 5000 ?? You really think you can win?" Without another word the mobile suit jumped forward and Katai. She dived out of the way of the sword held by the mobile suit. She aimed the gun attached to her left arm and fired. The other mobile suit ducked and retreated calling all the others to come forward and attack.

An alarm went off in the mansion calling everybody to the bomb shelter. "Did you hear? Katai's stuck up there with two boys, Anrui and Quatre, against 5000 people there dead!" Whispered one Maid to another. Amy, who had happened to be nearby heard this and gulped. She murmured a silent prayer for her sister.

"Come on! Hurry up! We have to get out there NOW!" Yelled Duo who was commanding that particular group.

Katai, Anrui and Quatre were getting pushed closer and closer to the colony. To close. They couldn't risk getting any closer. The group of five mobile suits who had been closest were in the middle of it all. She didn't know how much longer they could last. Katai grinned sheepishly as Duo was the first to come out with his group. "What took you so long?" Quatre asked through his own Walky Talky. "Sorry, but better late the never."

Duo had been commanding 500 of there troops. "Were dead. I didn't want to face it but the only reason we didn't die at the beginning was because our shields were fresh." Katai said trying to duck all the shots being aimed at her.

Trowa showed up ten minutes later with his group of 400 people. Then Heero with 600 and finally Wufei with his group of 300. "Okay now were ready to fight!" Exclaimed Katai. It was a true blessing that they had shown up.

Katai jumped and ducked as more shots came at her. It was as if they were all trying to just kill her. "Katai! Get back to land. They think that by killing you, they will be able to take over the colonies. Which is true." Duo told her.
"No! If I go back they'll bomb the colony again because I'm there." Said Katai. As she looked around she saw, they were still losing. They were fighting a losing battle. There was no hope. She whipped sweat out of her eye's and hoped for the best.

NOTE: Thats the end of the first part! Wait for more!
