Disclaimer: I don’t own Gundam Wing or Gundam Mobil Suit or anything that starts with Gu…. So, please don’t sue me, I have no money. Well, on to part 6. I can honestly tell you guys that I don’t know how long this story is going to be so bear with me.

3 Months Later at the CWD Base:

A space ship of peace directors were on their way to L1.

"Captain Sir, there is something on radar, and I don’t think it’s friendly."

The captain walked over to the radar screen.

"What is that? It’s to big to be one of ours."

The commander of a CWD battle cruiser was checking to make sure everything was in position. "Lieutenant, are all the men at their stations?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Give the order for the first Mobil suits to move on, and to give the space ship Nosetri a welcoming present."

On the Nosetri:

"Sir, enemy Mobil suits are heading our way!"

"Then dispatch ours and send a distress signal to the New Kingdom."

The Nosetri’s Mobil suits came out to defend their ship, but their was to many of the enemy Mobils.

At the New Kingdom:

A soldier came running into the meeting hall were Milliardo was with Noin. "Sir! We have gotten a message from the Nostri, they are under attack from CWD’s mobils."

Noin looks at Milliardo. Milliardo stares at her for a moment. "Go and tell the Gundam pilots before they hear about it to late."

Noin ran off to do as he asked. The commander of the CWD cruiser was watching his forces beating the alliance Mobils. A about 20 minutes the Gundam Pilots came into view, within seconds they were fully into the fight with the CWD’s. The commander smiled. "Right on schedule. Lutenient give word to the other Mobils to proceed with the plan."

At the Gundam Hanger:

The professors were watching the fight from a consul. "They're not putting up much of a fight, I would think they would have more Mobils."

Professor J was watching the battle, he suddenly heard something outside. It took him a while to recognize the sound, he panicked. "They have come to destroy us! Quick we have to find a shelter."

The professors made it to an old basement shelter from the old war, right before the first blast hit and destroyed half of the base. The professors started to feel the heat of the blasts. "We were tricked, they wanted to destroy our base, not fight us."

Instructor H shook his head. "Pretty smart if you ask me."

In Africa, when the fight just started in space:

Relena ran into the living room where Hilde and Misty were playing cards and Morgan playing with a hacky sak. "We have to go there’s a fight, Valise is waiting for us."

All the girls jumped up and ran after Relena, they meet up with Valise, who was very calm and looked like something was troubling her. Relena ran up to her. "We’re ready to go, we’ll get the Gundams ready."

Valise held up her hand. "Wait, something’s …not right."

Misty looked slightly panicked. "Yeah, something’s not right we’re not there to help the others."

Valise looked at Misty sharply. "Hush……Sage?"

Relena came forward. "Yes?"

"Look at the battle, what do you see?"

Relena looked at her like she grew two heads but decided to humor her. "Okay, I see the Gundams fighting, right?"

"Exactly,……why do you think that battle cruiser hasn’t attack them with their weapons?"

Relena stared at the screen. "I don’t know."

Hilde cut in. "I’m sorry to interrupt this logic session but shouldn’t we be helping them?"

Relena and Valise weren’t listening to her. Valise turned to Relena. "How do you trap a mouse?"

Relena looked at Valise. "With a mouse trap."

"Right, but how do you get it to the trap?"

Relena thought for a moment then figured it out. "Oh my God … you lure it away from it’s home."

The other girls finally realized what they were talking about. Morgan stepped forward.

"So what you're saying is that they are going to destroy the base where the Gundams are?"

Valise nodded. "Precisely."

Hilde hit the wall, hard. "Bastards! We have to help them, we have to stop their base from being blown up."

Valise looked at the girls. "You have to go to this place."

She handed Relena a paper that had the longitude and latitude where the base was. Morgan looked at the paper.

"I’m not going to ask how you know where the base is."

"Good, because I’m not going to tell you. Now go!"

The girls ran to their Gundams and entered the directions. Relena lead them as they transformed into flight mode. Valise looked sadly after them. "They’re not going to make it."

Meanwhile in space one hour later:

Zero was finishing a Mobil suit. Heero looked around and found that they had almost destroyed all of the Mobils, he saw the battle cruiser in the distance. He began to think.

"Something’s wrong, that battle ship should have sent for reinforcements and attacked us." Heero called to the others. "Listen up everyone, something’s wrong, I can tell, their not attacking us to win, it’s almost like a diversion."

Duo scratched his head. "Hey, I think your right."

Trowa stayed his usual calm self. "What do you think we should do?"

Heero thought for a moment. "We’ll break off the attack, and head back to the base."

Heero was the first one to leave followed by the others.

At the Gundam base, 45 minutes ago:

"Sage! Are you okay?"

"Yeah! Just got a little swamped." Relena was surrounded by Mobils. One of the lieutenants contacted the battle cruiser.

"Sir, we ran into trouble. There seem to be more Gundams, we only destroyed half of the base."

The commander returned communication. "It should be enough, you can retreat."

"Right away S……"

A lieutenant turned to the commander. "Sir, we lost communication."

At the Gundam base:

Meltam was pulling it’s bow saber out of the Mobil that had communicated with the commander. Morgan looked at Canic as he sliced another Mobil in half his it’s saber sword. Relena had three Mobils tailing her, she flew away from the main fight. "You guys I can’t shake these guys."

Relena thought for a moment while dodging the lasers of the Mobils. "I’m going to turn to sub-zero."

Hilde turned on the machine guns to destroy a Mobil and turned her gundam in the direction of Relena. "Sage are you sure?"

"Yeah, I am." Relena boosted thrusters and flew straight up toward the sky. "Here goes nothing." She connected to her Gundam through her mind, "Polartic change to sub-zero." She felt the acknowledgement of the gundam. In seconds the cockpit was freezing, Relena started to have trouble breathing. "Uh oh, I don’t think it’s working." As soon as Relena felt she couldn’t take it anymore. Her body started to feel warmer. "That’s more like it. Okay let’s finish these guys."

The thrusters of the gundam stopped and she started to fall toward the ground. She saw the Mobils looking for her. Polartic surprised the Mobils by landing right in front of them, the Mobils were to slow. Relena took out the middle Mobil with one of the sabers and as she went through the other two, Polartic brushed by them only having little contact with the suits. Right after he touched them, the Mobils turned to ice. While flying back to the others, Relena turned on the laser tracking. She could hear the computer in her mind.

Computer: "Targets locked."

Relena only hesitated a moment to think of the people. "Fire."

The shots found their targets and the Mobils shattered into thousands of pieces. Relena came back to the base. Hilde’s gundam turned to Polartic. "Relena, we got a message from Valise the other pilots are coming back…soon."

Relena almost made the decision to stay and see Heero. Relena looked at the half destroyed base, and thought. "I just want to see him." Relena broke out of her trance. "Let’s get out of here, I don’t want to meet up with them, we’ll have a lot of explaining to do."

As the Gundam’s flew off, Hilde looked at the base one more time. "Duo."

Her gundam went into flight mode and flew off, what they didn’t know was that someone was watching them fly off. "What do you think?" Professor J looked at Master O.

"I think a friend of ours has a lot of explaining to do."

"Moore."

"Yes."

They looked into the sky to see the boys' Gundams returning. Heero looked at the base and closed his eyes. The professors waited until the boys were all out of the Gundams. Trowa looked at the professors. "We were tricked."

Professor J looked at the destroyed base. "Yes, we were. But, no matter."

The professor all nodded their agreement. Duo looked at them like they were crazy. "I’m sorry what? Did you just say no matter? I hope you’ve noticed that we don’t have a home base for repairs or anything."

Professor J smiled. "We have a friend that I’m sure will want to help."

Heero’s look turned to a stern gaze. "Hmmm."

In Africa:

The Gundams returned and Valise was waiting for them and so was Damon. The girls came down from the gundams. Damon ran towards Relena. "Sage!"

He jumped into the arms of Relena.

"Hi there. Oh, I missed you."

Damon hugged her with all his might. "I missed you too."

Valise walked over to the girls, and smiled. "I congratulate you on a job well done."

The girls faces were gloomy, and turned to the ground. Hilde spoke first. "We couldn’t save the base. We failed."

Valise gave them a sincere look. "This was your first battle, we just got there to late. You're too hard on yourself."

Morgan looked up with unleashed tears in her eyes. "We could have done better! We’re supposed to be better than anybody!"

Morgan angrily walked away, pushing a cart over as she went by. Hilde went off after her. "I’ll go talk to her."

Relena looked at Valise, Damon still in her arms. "She’s right we did fail."

Valise looked at the Gundams. "I don’t think so."

Relena didn’t even want to try to make sense of Valise’s words. "Come on Damon, let’s find something to eat."

Misty went off with Relena. Valise went to office and turned on her computer, the screen was flashing with an incoming call. She turned it on. Professor J’s face came on the screen.

"Long time no see, Valise."

Valise gave him a bored look. "I was wondering how long it would take you to figure out to call me, not long I see. I guess you saw my Gundams save your sorry asses." Valise smiled tightly at him.

"Indeed I did see them, I’m guessing you already know what I’m going to ask."

Valise gave a little laugh. "Oh yes, I do. I think I want to see you beg me to let your pilots and their Gundams stay here."

Professor J was starting to get pissed off. "I will not, your just a convenience. I can find a new base."

Valise smiled. "No I don’t think you wanting to do that, you know as well as I do it’s takes a long time to find a home base. Well, I won’t make you beg, you're welcome here. You know where it is." Valise cut the transmission before he could reply.

"I guess I should tell the girls we’re expecting visitors." Valise walked out of her office and went to the living hall.

At the demolished Gundam base:

The pilots listened to Professor J talk to Valise. Wufei was the first one to speak. "Just like a woman to think that we need them! I say we don’t go."

Quatre looked at Wufei. "Calm down, you're not thinking logically. We have no where else to go."

Heero was leaning against one of the walls that was left standing. "We should go as soon as possible, so we can start planning a counter attack on the CWD's."

Professor J gave the pilots information where Valise’s base was. "You go first, the rest of the professors and I will get there as soon as possible."

Heero took the coordinates. "Understood." The pilots walked to their Gundams and took off.

In Africa:

The girls and Damon were sitting at a table eating. Valise walked in. "I have some news."

All the talking and eating stopped, Morgan turned to Valise. "What sort of news?"

Valise sat down at their table. "We are going to have some visitors."

Relena got a sinking feeling in her stomach. She tried not to show her nervousness. "Who are these visitors?"

Hilde picked up an apple and bit into it.

"The Gundam pilots, whose base that was just blown to bits."

Hilde choked on her apple and Relena fell off her chair. At the same time both yelled, "No!"

Relena recovered first. "Please tell me you didn’t."

Relena sat back in the chair and tried to talk to Valise without going to ballistic. Misty looked at her and Hilde like they were going to explode any moment. "God! What’s wrong with you guys?"

Hilde sat closer to Valise. "You don’t understand. Everyone has a history, right? Well, Sage's and my history kind of conflict with the pilots. We know them."

Morgan gave a confused look. "And that’s a bad thing?"

Hide turned her attention to Morgan. "Uh huh."

Relena took over telling a confused Valise. "You see if they find out that me and Hilde are here, they are going to get very angry. You don’t want to see them angry."

Hilde cut in. "Especially one, he’ll cut off my legs so I won’t be able to walk. Oh God, I’m going to die. It’ll be a big no-no."

Valise looked at the distressed girls. "So, you want me not to mention you guys."

Hilde quickly nodded her head. Relena looked at Misty and Morgan. "Them two, as far as your concerned the Gundams have no pilots. If they see two pilots and four Gundams they’ll know something isn’t right."

Misty looked at Valise. "I think they’re serious about this."

Valise thought for a moment. "Okay, but how are you guys going to avoid them. They’ll be using this facility to, even the same halls."

Relena leaned back and let out a breath she had been holding. "Don’t worry we’ll think of something."

Valise got up and walked to the door. "Well, think of something fast, they’ll be here in a couple of hours."

A couple of hours later:

The girls heard the Gundams arrive, Relena and Hilde were pacing the living hall. They saw Valise go up to take the pilots into the base and to get the gundams in storage. Relena stopped pacing and leaned against the wall. She whispered, "Heero."
