Gundam Wing ~ The Waltz Continues

Prologue-

 

Death Lingered in the air, contradicting the weather outside. The sun was shinning and it was a beautiful spring day, though later on in the week, reports were predicting stormy weather on the prowl. The day would have been perfect if it wasn't for this beautifully, seemingly, immaculate man lying on his deathbed. Due to natural means of life his time on this Earth was being tragically cut short. One would assume that those closest to him would be gathered around, holding his hand during this lonely period of time, however it was quite the opposite to that. The only ones that where there to comfort him was the son he only had a short time to get to know and the maids that tend to the every need of this wealthy man. Yes the weather was quite the contradiction to the loneliness that this man was feeling inside the immense house.

In the year After Colony 195 war was at hand waged between the Earth and the colonies. Rebel citizens of some colonies thought of new means of bringing their secret weapons to the Earth in any attempts to resolve this war in one last great effort. Five different colonies sent 5 young pilots to Earth in their own great mobile suits known as Gundams. Chang Wufei from the L5 colony cluster piloting the Altron. Quatre Raberba Winner from L4 piloting Sandrock. Trowa Barton coming from L3 with his Gundam Heavyarms. Duo Maxwell originating from L2 and his trusty Deathscythe, and last but not least Heero Yuy coming from L1 taking on Wing Gundam. These five young pilots were sent to Earth under the impression that they were representing and defending the colonies but later on finding that the colonies turned their backs on them leaving them to question what it was that the truly were defending.

Relena Darlian the daughter of the late Vice-Foreign Minster Darlian found out after the death of her father that she was in fact adopted at a young age and truly belonged to the pacifist preaching Peacecraft family. With this news Relena also found out that she was next in line to becoming Queen of the world. All this was due to the fact that her brother, Milliardo Peacecraft also know as Zechs Merquise, a high raking soldier of OZ, disowned himself from the Peacecraft family due to his blood stained hands. Relena preached peace amongst the colonies and Earth and believed that total peace through means of negotiations rather then blood shed. Due to reasons beyond Relena's control she was forced to step down from her role as Queen therefore taking on the position of Vice-Foreign Minster Darlian. The Gundam pilots were searching for something to fight for and upon hearing Relena's ideals, though sounding fairly naïve, they found them achievable and decided that they would strive for the same ideals.

Mobile suits were quickly evolving at this crucial moment in time and the Mobile Dolls were a common use through battle. These mobile suits were not man piloted suits but rather were strictly machines with a faster reaction time to the average human being. This also forced the Gundam pilots to evolve and upgrade their mobile suits by equipping them with the Zero System, which enhanced the pilot's mental capabilities allowing them to be two steps ahead of their enemy.

Milliardo thought that he had to prove a point that war was something that was painful so he took it upon himself to lead a revolutionary group called White Fang. His plan was to send the large battle ship, Libra, colliding into the ear but his plans were altered when he was face to face with the Gundam pilots. Milliardo went one on one facing Heero in battle up in space. Heero seemed to have an impact on Milliardo, changing is mind to send the great ship into Earth and therefore attempting to blow it up from the inside along with himself. Upon the realization that the attempt went in vain, failing to blow up the whole ship, Heero flew ahead and aimed his Buster rifle at it blowing it into pieces sending the small scraps scattering and burning up in Earth's atmosphere. This marked the ending of the war between the colonies and Earth just in time for Christmas Eve. This peace only lasted one short year though.

On Christmas Eve in the year After Colony 196 Mariemaia Kushrenada declared war and launching an attack on the ESUN stating that it was the will of the late Treize Kushrenada, her father. Mariemaia kidnapped Relena Peacecraft and used this to her advantage. The Gundam Pilots teamed up with the newly formed peace keeping force called the Preventors in order to stop this battle that Mariemaia started. However she was a mere puppet in the hands of Dakim Barton who used her with the intent of putting the original purpose of Operation Meteor into effect. However, again the Gundam pilots came out on top and defeated Dakim Barton. With peace once again into action and the Preventors on the watch for any new trouble, the Gundam pilots destroyed their Gundams, weapons where no longer needed in an era where peace was quickly becoming the new way of likes.

And so these weapons known as Gundams were never seen again, until the beast in this endless waltz continued again. Mariemaia once said that “History is much like an endless waltz, the three beats of war, peace, and revolution continue on forever.' So it was only a matter of time until it was time to move on to a new beat in this ever-continuing dance. Revolution was at hand, however no one knew it yet.

“Marquee, my son,” the dying man begun. “You must live a strong life.” He looked up at his son who was the spitting image of him though he was only thirteen years old. “Power runs in your blood, so don't let that strength go to waste.” The man said weakly. “What should I do father?” He really only had three years to get to know his father. “Do what I would have done, I want you to make the family name proud, my son. Show the world just how strong you are and always stick to your beliefs and stay true to yourself.” He felt time running short. “I will make your proud of me.” Marquee assured his father and watched as he closed his eyes one last time and took his last breath.

 

“Your father was a strong man, even right up to his last breath.” Marquee's watcher said to him from over in the shadows of the room. “And you know what your father would wants of you.” She took a step forward and headed over towards the young boy who was trying to hide his tears. “He wants you to show the world just how strong the Peacecraft name truly is, and I know just the way you can do so, Master marquee.” She placed a hand on his shoulder. “I'll make your proud father…” He whipped away a tear. “Milliardo.”
