Disclaimer: I don’t own Gundam wing,( writing this gets so irritating) but I do own my characters. They came from my mind and if you want to use anything of mine please tell me, so I don't get pissed off…(happy face) Enjoy! On to Part 11…
In Space, on L2:
An alarm went off in the colony, at the defense center, the leaders of L2 were gathered. A man stood up.
"We have to do something, they are going to be within firing range in about an hour and a half and the other colonies have sent messages saying that they will be under attack as well. They are already sending out their Mobil suits to space."
The military leader of the colony was deep in thought. "We still do have the old Mobils in our underground facility,…alright, Gracen?"
A soldier came forward. "Yes Sir?"
"Go to the underground chamber and find as many spare soldiers you can, go and have them suit up and go out to space." The soldier saluted the military leader.
"Right away Sir!"
In Africa, at the same time:
The Gundam boys, and the girls (except for Relena) were listening to the professors and Valise give a description of where the CWD cruisers were. Valise sat down in a chair.
"From the looks of their cruisers and where they are positioned, it’s going to be a hard fight. We think their intentions are to give the colonies time to consider their proposal for taking them over, if they don’t respond they will start to destroy them one by one."
Misty was sitting next to Morgan and Quatre, she shook her head. "Bummer."
Valise gave her a half smile. "Too say the least."
Doctor J took over informing them of the CWD weaknesses. "There is two battle cruisers stationed by L1, we believe that one is targeting the New Kingdom on earth, probably to take out Milliardo Peacecraft so there will be no leaders to help the colonies. We believe that on one of these cruisers the leader of the organization is there. Heero?"
Heero looked up to Doctor J.
"Your target will be these battle cruisers."
Heero nodded his head slightly. "Understood."
The door opened and Relena walked in, she heard Heero’s assignment. "I’m going with him."
Valise gave her a sour look. "Like hell you are."
Relena shook her head and looked at Heero, then to Valise. "I have to, there is a Captain that I have some unfinished business with, he will probably be on one of those cruisers, I think the best bet would be the one the leader is on."
Misty stood up and gave her an angry glare. "Are you crazy? Your not strong enough yet!"
Relena leaned against the wall because the gunshot wound in her back was starting be uncomfortable. "Don’t worry about me, Polartic will take care of me. I have a lot of loose ends that I have to tie up."
Heero understood how she felt and he knew that she would find a way to go. The only thing he could do is make sure that she didn’t die. Valise gave her a hard look. "Don’t die."
Relena gave her a smile. "I won’t."
Doctor J turned to the rest of the group. "The rest of you will go to the other colonies and help them destroy the CWD cruiser’s and Mobil suits. You better get going?"
The Gundam pilots stood up and made their way to the storage room, they made their way to their Gundams. Morgan walked with Misty for a bit. "Hey Misty, you ever think what’s going to happen to us if we come out of this alive, I mean we have no place to go."
Misty gave Morgan a slight smirk. "I think about it all the time…" She stopped talking long enough to look at Trowa. "…but I think I’ll go where ever fate takes me."
Morgan smiled and she looked at Quatre. "Maybe that’s not a bad idea."
They climbed into their Gundams. Sally walked with Wufei to his Gundam. "Remember, I still need a partner to work with."
Wufei gave her a half smile. "Don’t worry, you can’t replace me no one’s will be good enough." Sally smiled as Wufei closed the hatch to the Shen Long. Duo was with Hilde as she got into her Gundam.
"Duo, you know going into this battle made me think…about us, I just want to tell you.." She looked at Duo who had a questionable face, she realized that she might see him again if this mission went bad and started to tear up. "Oh God, now I’m going to cry."
Duo started to get worried. "What’s wrong Hilde?" Hilde smiled and wiped the tears away.
"Nothing’s wrong.. I just wanted to tell you that…I…I love you." She started to laugh at his surprised expression. "I just wanted to tell you that in case I don’t make it."
Duo’s face softened. "I feel the same way..about loving you…not thinking that you won’t make it out alive." Hilde laughed and hugged him, right before she got into her Gundam she gave a kiss.
"I always wanted to do that." Duo smiled.
"You're not the only one." Hilde closed the hatch to her Gundam.
"Goodbye Duo."
Duo climbed into his Gundam. "Goodbye Hilde."
Most of the Gundam’s had already gone to space, Relena and Heero were the last to get to their Gundams. Relena was walking when she heard a familiar cry.
"Sage!"
She turned just in time to catch Damon. Valise was walking toward them. "Hey there little man."
Damon looked at her and already started to cry. "I don’t want you to go!"
Relena wiped his tears away. "Now, we already talked about this remember?"
He nodded his head. "Yes."
Relena gave him a hug. "I love you, Damon."
Damon hugged her back. "I love you, you’re my mommy." Relena could feel the tears threatening, she made a sign to Valise to take him away. Valise came and helped pry him away from Relena.
"Come on Damon, let’s go visit Bradley."
Relena was still kneeling on the ground, she closed her eyes to wipe the tears away and then stood up. Heero saw the exchange between them and came to Relena.
"You’ll survive."
She turned to Heero. "I hope so, I can’t bear to leave him.. he actually reminds me of someone."
Heero looked at Relena’s face with a searching gaze. "You love him very much, don’t you?"
Relena knew that he was asking about himself but made it look like they were still talking about Damon. "Yes, I do. I will never love anyone as much as I love him."
Heero closed his eyes as if in pain. He decided to drop the façade. "I can’t offer you a good life with me."
Relena gave him an icy glare. "Who are you to decide what I need or what I should have? My whole life has been people telling me what I should or should not do. For the past couple of years I have found a life that is worth living to my own expectations..but one thing has not changed, that is you…I will always love you no matter how many lives I lead." Relena was crying now, Heero’s eyes didn’t leave her face. "I know now that you will not ever love me back, but now I know."
Heero leaned closer to her as she was talking, by the time she finished her last sentence he was almost nose to nose. Relena stopped talking and was staring back. He took her helmet and put it on her head, he started to walk to his Gundam when he turned to see her still in the same place. "Remember Relena, always expect the unexpected."
Relena gave a confused look. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" She watched him get into his Gundam and then climbed into Polartic. "All right old friend, we have a war to win, and some people to come back to."
In Space, 20 minutes later:
The Gundam’s were on their way to the colonies, Relena and Heero went to L1, Hilde and Duo went to L2, Trowa and Quatre went to L3, Misty and Morgan went to L4, and Wufei went to L5. Only a couple minutes later they were all under heavy attack.
At the New Kingdom:
Zechs had gone to the basement of the Kingdom and went to the Tallgeese III. Noin went after him. "Sir, you're not thinking of fighting are you?"
Milliardo turned to Noin. "I have to, I have to help the Gundams. This is one force where we have to join them."
Noin came up to him. "I’m coming too."
Milliardo knew that it would devastate her if she couldn’t come and be by his side. "I would be honored Noin." She hurried over to a Taurus and got in. They both were in space a few minutes later.
In Space:
Misty had just destroyed one of the two battle cruisers stationed on L4, Morgan was keeping the Mobils away from Misty. "Way to go Misty."
"Thanks."
On L3 Quatre and Trowa were finishing up the Mobil suits, they had destroyed the cruisers around the colony. "Almost done here! Let’s help Wufei."
Both of the Gundam went off to L5.
Around L5:
Wufei was doing well without the help of anybody, he had already blown up one of the cruisers, and was fighting off the Mobils suits to get to the next one when Trowa and Quatre arrived. Quatre checked to see if Wufei was injured. "Wufei, are you alright?"
The Shen Long had just cut a Mobil in half. "Yes, I’m fine and I don’t need any help, I’m strong enough on my own."
Trowa blew up another Mobil suit. "We know, but I don’t think you should refuse an offer of help…you could get to the cruiser easier." Wufei didn’t answer back so Quatre and Trowa took it as a sign that he accepted.
Around L2:
Duo and Hilde were doing quite well. Two Mobils surrounded Hilde, one of them got a good hit on the shoulder of the Gundam. "Ahh!!"
Duo swung the Deathsycth around. "Hilde! Are you okay?" Hilde shook her head to get rid of the dizziness.
"I’m okay, don’t worry about me, just keep fighting."
Around L1:
Heero and Relena were running into a lot of trouble, there were so many Mobil suits protecting the battle cruisers. Polartic had just cut two in half, and Zero had just destroyed three that were circling him, he was too fast for them.
"Heero, we’ll never be able to find the leader in time, we need help."
Heero thought for a moment. "I think that he will come, if he is a true warrior he will want to fight us out here, one on one."
They fought for a while longer and Relena saw that they were running out of time. "Heero, I have to go find someone of the cruiser, I have to fight him a different way I just can’t blow up the cruiser."
"I don’t think that’s a good idea, your cutting it close."
"Please, I have to."
Relena didn’t hear an answer for a couple of seconds. "Hurry, I’ll cover you."
Relena smiled. "Thank you Heero."
Zero cut off an attack from a Mobil, that was headed in Relena’s direction. Heero looked at the retreating form of Polartic. "Don’t make me regret this."
In a battle cruiser:
A soldier turned around to look at the leader of the CWD’s.
"Sir, how come that Gundam is not coming for the cruiser he just keeps fighting off the Mobils."
The leader smiled as he watched Zero on the screen. "He wants to fight me one on one, I shouldn’t disappoint him then."
The leader got up and walked to the door of the bridge.
On the other battle cruiser near by:
"Sir, we have an enemy Mobil suit headed our way, and it doesn’t look like it’s slowing down…Sir it’s a Gundam!"
The Captain thought quickly, unfortunately it wasn’t quick enough, they felt the impact of Polartic smack into the side of the ship. The force was so great that the cruiser had moved off of position. One of the soldiers gave the Captain a damage report. "Sir! We lost engines one and three, the stabilizer is damaged, and we are having reports from around the ship that oxygen is leaking into space."
The Captain was hastily making orders to fix the problems.
Elsewhere on the ship:
Polartic was in one of the cargo holds, the room had no oxygen so Relena stabilized her suit so she could breath when she went out. Relena could feel that the ship was in bad condition, she had to hurry. "Just a little longer, just hold on a little longer." She jumped out of the cockpit and turned back to her Gundam. "I have to do this without your help." Relena made sure she had enough bullets in her hand gun, then ran to find the Captain.
In Space:
Heero was fighting off another suit when one came behind him, he knew he couldn’t turn around in time and prepared for the worst. Out of no where the Mobil behind him exploded, Heero used the distraction to finish the other Mobil off. He turned Zero to find the Talgesse III. Heero frowned. "Zechs."
Milliardo had changed to Zechs Marquis when he used his Gundam. "Looks like you needed some help Heero."
Heero folded his arms. "I had it under control."
By then the other Gundams had finshed off the cruiser’s around the other colonies and came to L1. Noin looked around. "It looks like everyone is here."
Quatre was glad that Noin was here, she proved to be a good ally. "Miss Noin, will you be helping us?"
"Yes, I will."
Zechs looked around to all the Gundams. "Are these all the Gundams?"
Heero looked to the cruiser. "All but one."
On the leader’s cruiser:
He had gone down to a sublevel and came up to his Gundam, it looked like the Epyon but without the whip and mind altering device. "Ah, brother you died for a lost cause you were fighting for the wrong kind of peace, the one thing you left me was the blueprint of your Gundam."
He was interrupted by his thoughts by a soldier on a communicator. "Sir! We have reports that on all the colonies except around us, our forces are destroyed?"
The leader pounded the wall. "Damn!"
"What should we do sir?"
"Send out the new Mobils, the ones we have been working on."
The soldier saluted him. "Yes Sir!"
In Space:
The group watched as new type of Mobils came from the cruiser and a Gundam that looked like the Epyon. Heero leaned closer to his monitor. "It can’t be."
Zechs knew who it was, there was only one other person who knew about the Epyon, Treize’s brother. He closed his eyes sadly, he knew what must be done. "Maurice, how could you?"
On the other Cruiser:
Relena had made into the bridge, she had found a CWD uniform, she walked onto the bridge and saw the man she knew had killed Adrian. Relena took off her helmet, the Captain looked at her and gave her an order. "You there soldier, go to Cargo Bay and help them stabilized the air pressure!"
Relena didn’t move, she took out her gun and pointed it at his face. "I’m not your soldier, I’m your enemy."
