Chapter One: The Facility

Colony L2 Salvage Yard July 5, A.C. 197 1:59 PM:

Duo looked at the sky as he filled out another inventory form. Being on a salvage yard was not all it was cracked up to be. He stayed in the yard counting what things they had and selling them. Hilde was usually off getting the food or other supplies they needed. What was unusually was the recent order from a small research lab colony. It was somewhere near the L1 Colony Cluster. Duo being the curious person he is would have asked the man who placed the order what he needed it for. The problem was the Sweeper Group he belonged to said this "One shall not ask what the client is going to do if one is paid." Sure enough Duo had been paid a substantial amount of money for the things ordered. He rechecked the order once again before he would ask Howard to load and ship it.
"45 Camera Sensors
13 Laser Lenses
100 Meters of Steel Chain
200 Meters of Leather etc..."
Duo made a face to himself noticing how much work this was going to take on his part. He was about to call Howard when his cell phone played the ringtone of the "Death Melody". He placed the phone at his ear and turned it on.
"Hello Shingami at your service. Hooowww may I help you?" Duo says into the receiver.
"Maxwell... Long time since I last heard your annoying voice..." a eighteen year old says into the phone (1).
"Oh, its just you Wu-man... Here I was thinking it was somebody important like Relena or something..." Duo replies.
"Enough small talk, Maxwell... I am calling you on behalf of Sally and Zechs. Heero called us and said that he was coming to Earth for a visit. Relena though it would be a good idea to contact the other three of you for a reunion," Wufei says calmly.
"Sounds fun... Can I invite Hilde, too? She would not like it if she could not come," Duo replies.
"I guess so Maxwell. You are to report to the Peacecraft Mansion in the Sanq Kingdom by tomorrow at 15 hundred hours," Wufei says hanging up.
Duo put up his cell phone and in record time finished his inventory check and called Howard. He dashed into his house and met Hilde telling her the good news. They both started packing and Duo smiled the rest of the day thinking about being reunited with his old comrades.

Colony L3 Circus Grounds July 5, A.C. 197 2:15 PM:

Trowa was washing off his face from the pies he had thrown at him from the previous show. Catherine was in the other room starting another weaving thing of hers. He changed into his dark blue turtle neck when the phone rang. Catherine picked it up and then handed it to Trowa.
"Trowa Barton. What is it?" Trowa says in the phone.
"Trowa this is Wufei. I am calling you about a phone call we received earlier. Heero called Sally and myself saying he was coming to Earth on the 7th. Upon hearing this Relena decided that we should contact the others for a reunion. You may bring Catherine along if you wish. If you can make it we would like you to be at Peacecraft Mansion tomorrow at fifteen hundred hours," Wufei explains.
"I can make it. We have no performances scheduled for the rest of this week. You can count of us being there," Trowa responded hanging up the phone.
"How was it, Trowa?" Catherine asks.
"It was Wufei. Relena has invited us to a reunion tomorrow and I told them we could come," Trowa answers. "Get your things packed so we make it in time for the three thirty shuttle to Earth."
"This sounds like loads of fun," Catherine comments.
Trowa nods in agreement as he walks to his small room to gather his things in a single suitcase. He finishes faster than Catherine and tells the Ring Master where they are going and when they will be back. By the time he does this Catherine has called a cab and they are waiting to go to the airport.

Winner Mansion July 5, A.C. 197 2:25 PM:

Quatre shifted through the paperwork and land it in a neat stack in front of himself. Dorothy picked up the papers and proceeded downstairs with them. He sighed and took a sip of his coffee. Rashid was sitting in another chair across the room reading a magazine about the news. Quatre's phone rang and he picked up as Rashid tried to listen in on the conversation.
"Hello. You have reached the Winner Estates. This is Quatre Winner speaking how may I help you?" Quatre says cheerfully.
"Quatre, this is Wufei. I am contacting on you on an invitation to a reunion at Relena's mansion in the Sanq Kingdom. All of our fellow comrades will be there. Invite whoever you like to come along," Wufei responds.
"Let's see... Well I have nothing booked for the next two days so I will come. I will bring Dorothy and Rashid along as well," Quatre answers. "When do I have to be there?"
"Tomorrow at fifteen hundred hours," Wufei replies hanging up.
"What is it young master?" Rashid asks.
"Tell Dorothy to pack her things and you as well. We are going to a reunion in Sanq Kingdom," Quatre answers heading for his room.
Rashid bows and fetches Dorothy to tell her the good news. They all pack and are ready to board Quatre's private plane in the morning to go to Sanq Kingdom.

Unknown Space Colony 5:56 PM:

Heero moaned slightly as his eyes slowly opened. There were bright lights in the room so it took his eyes a moment to adjust. He tried to get up but he was being restrained by gundanium alloy to the table he was laying on. He looked around the room to see no one in sight. The room was a lab by all the instruments placed in it. Beside his table were needles and various other sharp objects. In front of him were several monitoring machines. He noticed the two small wires connected to his temples. This reminded of the Alliance's Treatment Room he was once stuck in and it even had the TV monitor on his right side as well. Above him was the observation deck just like the Alliance facility. The place almost reminded Heero of his times with Dr. J. Then a woman in a lab coat came the observation deck above. The woman wore her hair up in the tightest bun possible.
As if on cue a man wearing a military uniform walked up beside the woman. His face from his nose up was covered by a mask similar to what Zechs once wore. This one instead resembled more of a pilot's helmet than a bird like structure. He wore a teal colored military jacket that was buttoned all the way in the front. Strapped to his jacket was a black halfway cape. His pants were white as snow and he wore black knee high boots. Strapped to his side was a fencing sword. What shown of his bangs showed that he had light brown. His eyes were blue in color. He had a mysterious resemblance to Treize. The man in the uniform nodded to the woman and walked out of the room. The woman soon preceded him out the room. That left the technician to watch from above along with a few guards. Heero could the sounds of an elevator being brought down from a higher floor. The room Heero was in ran out an echo of the elevator's chime. One opened somewhere behind him. Heero heard the sound of metal toed boots hitting the floor.
The woman from before stepped up beside him. Her eyes seemed cruel and harsh. Her expression reminded him of when Dr. J wanted to do bad things to people. The man in the uniform walked to Heero's other side. He placed both of his gloved hands on the table. His face and expression was much kinder than that of the woman. He looked to the woman with a question asking face.
"This is the pilot formally known as 01?" the man asks.
"Yes sir," the woman replies coldly.
"I am sorry for your uncomfortable accommodations Mr. Yuy, but with your strength I could not take any chances," the man says kindly. "In time I will move you to a more comfortable room."
"What do you want with me?" Heero asks.
"That too you will learn in time. For now I shall tell you only my name and where you are. I am Zeion supreme commander of this colony. You are located on a research colony. All people here are scientists, engineers, military personal, or repairers," Zeion explains. "Mr. Yuy to us you are a leader of unfathomable strength and soon we will need your assistance in our governmental matters."
"If you required my assistance in something why didn't you just ask?" Heero asked harshly.
"Too many questions, Yuy. You shall our commander the proper respect he deserves," the scientist says coldly.
"No Maya, I shall answer his question. Remember Mr. Yuy is our guest and should be treated with proper respect no matter what my rank is. You see I do not exactly why my men captured you. I get orders from the owner of this colony. So I am sorry." Zeion says motioning Maya to shut her mouth.
"I am sorry, sir," Maya replies.
"Just be sure that our guest is treated properly. I will not tolerate any mistreatment. And to you, Mr. Yuy, good day," Zeion says as he leaves the room through another door.
"Proper this and proper that.. I swear that man was too many manners. No matter the owner has given me specific orders that I shall not disobey even it means going against Mr. Zeion's orders," Maya comments as she fills a syringe. "Unfortunately 01 unlike what he told you your stay will not be pleasant at first, but you will learn. They always do..."
"Kisama.." Heero swears under his breath.
Heero felt the liquid enter his body and could only guess what it would do to him. Maya retrieved several items throughout the lab and set them on the small table holding her tools she would need. Heero struggled against his bonds trying to free himself before she could do anything. Then his mind became hazed over with a fog of slumber. His vision failed and he once again fell into the world of dreams.

Unknown Colony Hanger 6:34 PM:

Zeion watched the floors in the elevator go by. Finally it stopped on the base level. Down it this place the artificial gravity was always turned off. He floated to the handrails and grabbed a hold of them as he walked through the barely lit room. He stopped at the far right wall and looked at a lighted mobile suit that was being repaired by a single engineer. Zeion floated over to the man.
"How is it coming?" Zeion asks.
"Fine, sir. I just making the final adjustment to the cockpit system," the engineer answers.
"After you are done go get some rest you have been working on it since four this morning," Zeion replies. "Remind me to give you a little extra pay this week as well."
"Thank you, sir," the engineer says standing up. "It is done. What are you going to name it?"
Zeion eyed the suit over. It was a fine piece of machinery. He had come up with design just as Operation Meteor had started. It looked like any normal Gundam would, but he used his own style in the design. It angel wings resembled the ones Wing Zero had but this one had only a single large pair of black wings. Its dark teal arms rested upon a large beam saber that resembled a fencing saber. Where the knee joint was had sharp spikes coming from the edge of the knee. Strapped to the gundam's side was a medium sized blaster rifle. The gundam's head visor resembled that of a samurai's and its golden antenna with set like an upside down crescent moon. Its shield was six small discs that were hidden in the gundam's arm guards. The machine was definitely impressive upon sight. It was mainly colored in shades of teal, dark blue, and black.
"I will name it Tenshi no Seigi," Zeion responds.
"A fine name for a fine machine," the engineer comments.
"And the others are they done as requested?" Zeion asks.
"Yes, they all are complete and the boss does not know of their existence," the engineer answers.
Zeion removes his helmet and sighs deeply as his small ponytail comes to rest at the base of his neck. It was strapped down by a crimson tie. He held his helmet between his arm and waist and looked at the engineer. Zeion smiled at him.
"Well, I believe that is enough of staring at this thing. We must plan for the hard plans ahead. I will treat you to a dinner fit for one of royalty," Zeion says floating to the elevator.

Sanq Kingdom Peacecraft Mansion July 6 7:48 AM:

Zechs, Noin, Wufei, and Sally stepped back to admire what they and the servants had turned the ballroom into. It was fit for the party it would hold tomorrow when Heero arrived. Trowa and Catherine were already there helping the others in decorating the house. Relena wanted the garden to look nice above the rest. No one knew exactly what she had in store for Heero, but they knew the possibilities were endless. She walked cheerfully around the house without a care in the world. For the first time in six months she seemed to be her old self again. Zechs and the others sat down for a tea break.
"You know I have this sinking feeling that he won't show up," Zechs comments.
"Heero never breaks a promise," Wufei adds.
"Yes that it is true. But if he doesn't Relena will be devastated. If he did that to her then I guess we would have to ring his neck out," Noin replies.
"We all know that Zechs would love to have those honors," Sally jokes.
"Just because the boy has my sister going through an emotional roller coaster does not mean I want to skin him alive," Zechs responds.
"Sure. Then why did you get so mad when she said she couldn't wait to meet him alone," Noin says hiding a smile.
"Because..." Zechs says stammering.
"Zechs, you are weak. You let a woman outsmart you. For shame I must seek Nataku's justice upon you as well," Wufei adds.
"I would like to see what Nataku's justice would do to Zechs," Noin says while laughing.
"Now that would be a fight I would pay to see," Sally says laughing as well.
"Do not insult Nataku's justice," Wufei replies harshly.

(1)- I know Wufei is only seventeen, but since his birthdate is never stated I say it is March 16 which would make him eighteen at this point.
