Hero by Firebird Phoenix
Chapter IX

Seth stood in the great hall of the Jade Emperor he wore his finest uniform a black uniform with three green stars and with sign if Jupiter on his sleeve, and a sword at his side. Seth bowed to the Jade Emperor whom sat behind his desk and wore robes for an Emperor, he looked vary distinguished proud and honorable when around him you could feel the ancient aura of him.

"Greetings Jade Emperor, I am Seth of the Jupiterian's, I come with a message from my King." said Seth

"And what dose King Ken'ichi wish of the Jade Emperor?" asked Governor Confucius, he tried to sound noble but he just came off as annoying.

"My King wishes too be named Guardian of the Shadow Earth." Said Seth, the Jade Emperor held his chin with his thumb and four-figure.

"Do they need a Guardian?" asked the Jade Emperor, not willing to hand something of this magnitude over so easily.

"Yes you Highness, the humans have been at war for years." Said Seth assuming his augment was already won.

"It is true the humans of shadow earth have been at war for many years and for many reasons, but I am not sure King Ken'ichi would make a worthy guardian. They shall have the chance to prove that do not need King Ken'ichi as a guardian." said the wise Jade Emperor he remembered what happened when he was King of Jupiter.

"If you permit your highness I have prepared a list of what the humans consider hero's from the last war." Seth handed the scroll to Governor Confucius whom then handed it to the Jade Emperor.

"The Gundam Pilots, they shall be sufficient. Confucius I wish for you too bring them here personally." Said the Jade Emperor

"As you wish you Highness," Said Confucius bowing he left the great hall, as did Seth; Seth imagined an easy victory considering the pilots shady past.

`How foolish of you Makoto, you didn't think that we would be watching you led strait to your friends.' Thought Seth darkly, his spies have been watching Lita sense she first broke Duo out of the base it wasn't waiting for her reveal her friends to them, and that they were the Gundam Pilots was even better making his job much easier.

Lita was already at the skating rink trying to teach Dragon how to skate he was the size on a python skating on his claws and running into walls along the way. He used his tail to push himself off of the wall he just smashed into but he pushed too hard and was send zooming down the ice screaming his head off and smack right into another wall, Lita sweat-dropped and was thankful she rented the whole skating rink.

"Dragon's are not meant to skate, it's just too unnatural," Yelled Ryuu with a few bruises on his face. "I'm going to the sidelines you Jupiterian's can keep you're skating." Said Ryuu flying off into the stands,

"I will get you skating yet!" Lita yelled to Ryuu sleeping on the bench.

"You will not!" Lita sighed and continued skating.

Hiero and Duo had just arriving at the only skating rink in town, Hiero admired Lita's skating; she wore blue jeans and a white turtle neck sweater she skated out beautifully like an angel on ice, Lita didn't noticed Duo and Hiero get on the ice, Duo in his priest outfit and Hiero in blue jeans and black winter coat. Hiero was the perfect soldier but he didn't know anything of skating, Doctor J thought skating was a waste of training time, Duo on the other hand knew enough to get by. Hiero stood enchanted by Lita's graceful movements and elegant jumps Duo elbowed him jolting him out of his thoughts.

"Don't ogle my sister man." Duo said teasing Hiero, Duo knew Hiero wasn't eyeing up his sister he was the perfect soldier after all, things like that were unheard of for him.

"I was scanning our surrounding Maxwell." Hiero said bluntly and emotionless

"Sure you were." Said Duo sarcastically with a sly smile skating off

'I shouldn't have come, I can't skate, I'm just going to make a fool of myself.' Hiero thought grimly, he always felt vary isolated and shut out from the world never belonging anywhere or with anyone.

"What are you doing, hanging here all alone Hiero?" Lita surprised him, when he looked into Lita eyes he felt something he couldn't explain the feeling of kindness, understanding, and belonging all in one, he felt right with Lita like it was meant to be.

"I can't skate." Hiero said emotionless, he thought he would scare her off with his cold dead voice but she just smiled at him.

"There's no time like the present to learn Hiero." When she took his hand in hers his heart started to race, Hiero forgot about everything around them as they glided. Duo watched Hiero with his sister and he looked happy but it was well hidden.

'Hiero told me he envied people who can show emotion. I know deep down he wants to feel emotions too, but I think he's forgotten how, maybe Lita can help him regain them.' thought Duo as he watched Hiero and his sister skate, the perfect couple one emotionless and one full of emotion. Duo glided over to Lita and Hiero surprising them, of course Hiero wanted to kill Duo for interrupting his moment with Lita.

"Lita, mind if I talk to Hiero for a minuet," Duo asked

"Ok, I think Ryuu wants to talk to me anyway." Ones Lita was on the other side of the rink and was talking to Ryuu, Duo sighed deeply looked at Hiero vary seriously.

"Hiero why don't you ask Lita to help you regain your emotions, I mean she is the perfect choice, she hasn't been tainted by the war." Said Duo looking over at Lita admiring her in more ways then one

"What makes you so sure Duo, She's been missing for nine years, and then she shows up out of the blue with no explanation isn't that too odd." Hiero questioned his military mind taking its hold on him again.

"Don't you ever get tired of thinking everyone is out to kill you?" Duo asked annoyed by Hiero and his spy ways, all he wanted was to enjoy skating with his sister and Hiero's ways weren't going to ruin that.

"Yes." Said Hiero quietly, avoiding eye contact with Duo.

"So ask Lita to help you what's the worse that can happen?" said Duo stating his point but the question was will Hiero act on Duo's advice. "You know, threw the war, the one thing I always feared was that Lita was the pilot of one the mobile suits I destroyed." Duo and Hiero skating back over to Lita, Hiero stayed back unsure he wanted to ask Lita for her help but he didn't know how too.

'What am I thinking, why would a woman like Lita want to help a monster like me.' Hiero thought grimly, Lita picked up on Hiero's unhappiness, Lita wanted to warm him up let him feel and get rid of the cold gripping his heart, everything became suddenly quite too quite, a figure he was of normal height and little over weight he wore fine Chinese robes he was Chinese as well, he held an arrogance around him that was annoying.

"Who are you and who do you work for?" Demanded Hiero who had his gun along with Duo trained on the strange man.

"Confucius say, it is rude to address someone in high stature so rudely." Duo and Hiero clicked there weapons, Confucius simply shook his head.

"Lady Makoto I'm glad you're here, I have come to tell you, that you been summoned to the Imperial Court by order of the Jade Emperor, too decide the guardianship of Shadow Earth and that the Gundam pilots have been chosen to represent Shadow Earth, We must be going." Confucius clapped his hands together he and the boys were gone,

"So Ken'ichi thinks he can gain control of this world by gaining guardianship of it, well he has another thing coming, I'm going to the Imperial Court and asking for guardianship of this earth myself." Said Lita she should have known that Ken'ichi would have tried something like this.

"Lita if you do that the boys will know your identity as will Ken'ichi." Said Ryuu, he knew that Lita has to fight for guardianship of this earth there was no other way.

"Yes Ryuu, I can't let Ken'ichi gain control of this earth if he doses all hell will break lose." Said Lita steadfast in her decision

"Well we better go before it's too late," Ryuu circled around Lita and they where gone.

Hiero, Duo, Quatre, Trowa, and Wufei found them selves in a large courthouse with hundreds of people watching from seats fifty feet high.

"Where are we?" asked Quatre, he was busy in a meeting the next thing he knew he was here with the other pilots.

"Ken'ichi is asking someone called the Jade Emperor for guardianship of Shadow Earth what ever that is and we are supposed to defend this Shadow Earth for what I guess is that Ken'ichi doesn't get guardianship." Said Duo trying to explain something he himself could barely understand.

"Maxwell that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard." Said Wufei not believing a word of it

"Look what's happened in the last while, we met a dragon, monsters are attacking people, and a superhero saves everyone, and you think this is impossible." The boys were taken out of the conversation by the banging of the Jade Emperor's mallet.

"From what I can see, the Gundam Pilots no nothing of are ways here so I ask that one of the gods here come forth to represent them?" the Jade Emperor asked, no one was coming forward the entire hall was quite.

"I will represent them." Everyone turned to the doorway there stood Princess Makoto in her formal gown, long green gown; low cut top and a long frilly skirt that was slit down the middle. She had a green ribbon tied on her neck and a long green pendant necklace; another green ribbon held her hair in a ponytail with rose in the middle, her Jupiter symbol shown proudly on her forehead, green leafs and roses adorned her skirt and were held on by themselves. A smaller Dragon floated next to Princess Makoto; she walked slowly down to the Jade Emperor's desk.

"Greetings Princess Jupiter, it has been too long a time sense we have last seen each other." said the Jade Emperor, Lady Makoto and the Jade Emperor were good friends she had asked for his advise when she had to over throw her father King Ken'ichi,

"Too long Jade Emperor." Said Princess Makoto

"You wish to represent the Humans, Lady Makoto?"

"Yes Jade Emperor, and also I wish to be named Guardian of Shadow Earth."

"But don't you guard Princess Serenity?"

"I only guarded her out of friendship but in truth I am guardian to no one or any world." Princess Jupiter's words were very well spoken and her royal nobility showed greatly.

"Vary well Lady Makoto, you may fight for the right of guardianship of Shadow Earth I also give you a twenty-four hour recess so you may inform the humans of the happenings here and form a plain." Said the Jade Emperor he was vary fond of Lady Makoto, and her gave the at most respect.

"Thank you old friend," Said Lady Makoto
