Disclaimer: *writing* *writing* *hear an eraser come and then
continuing with writing*
*stops*
Cheska: Hmm....oh, hi! *finally notices you*
Sorry, I'm trying to write up something right now to see if they
will reconsider and let me own the two great anime shows! You know?
Sailor Moon and Gundam Wing! ^_^
*two pieces of paper fly through the window and hits you behind the
head*
Cheska: *takes it and reads what's inside*
*you wait and hear what she may reveal to you*
Cheska: That's not fair! *pouts* It says and I quote!
'Ha! You think you'll own Sailor Moon? That's just laughable!
I won't let YOU have the ownership. Face it! I will not
give it up that easily!'
The next one says:
'I have heard of what you've been planning and I pity you. But no
matter what, I won't give up Gundam Wing to someone like you. I would
rather self-destruct than hand it over.'
That's what they wrote.
*sweatdrop*
Cheska: *throws it into the recycling bin and turns toward you*
I guess I don't own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing.
Continue on, read! Read! And maybe review in the end! ^^
*ushers you along*

Author's Notes: Thank you to those who have reviewed! I really
appreciate comments and whatever else you may write in there.
Just so you know, I won't be revealing who that voice is for awhile. The
time isn't exactly right for it. Well actually...maybe I'll reveal that
mysterious figure in the next chapter or maybe even this one for all I
know! ^^ It usually depends on how much I feel like writing. It'll just
keep on going and going.. Hmm...okay, maybe not this chapter now that I
think about it. ^^;;;
Dont' worry, I'll get that out in the next chapter or maybe the one after
that.

"My friend, you have returned,"Dr. M muttered.
She placed her slender hand on the mouse and moved it to the
screen.
She began writing and clicked Send. Once it was done, she leaned back
and her maroon eyes flashed with happiness and yet sadness in the same
time.
"Serena Tsukino: 06,"Dr. M uttered under her breath.
*************
Daylight seemed to have passed by so quickly as Hotaru trudged along the hallways.
She could hear the t.v.s going on and computers starting up. In some rooms she
could hear laughing and conversations beginning. And as she went into her room, she
finally thought she could have some peace and quiet seeing that she finished her
work doing lunch time but she cast it aside when five young men were standing or sitting
around her room.
"We have a mission,"Heero simply stated as he straightened up and stared at the young
girl.
Hotaru didn't say a word as she nodded and put her backback and books away in the
corner of her room.
They all filed out and strolled on out of the Academy.
"HEEERRROOOOO!!!"shrieked what sounded like a banshee.
"Not again.."muttered Duo.
"Keep walking,"Trowa adviced and they all obeyed.
But it didn't help much, seeing that the banshee caught up to them and flung her
arms around their comrade.
"Heero!!"
"Relena! Get...off.of...me!!"growled Heero, pushing away from the 'banshee.'
Students and teachers alike turned their heads around to watch as their Princess of the
Sanq Kingdom hang on to the quiet, stoic brown haired boy. But noticing their reaction,
Heero glared daggers at them and they quickly averted their eyes acting as if they hadn't
heard or seen anything.
"Miss Relena please. Please, get off of Heero,"pleaded Quatre.
Hotaru was a bit too impatient. She's been wanting to get some peace and quiet for
awhile since school started two months ago but it was too hectic. For one, they had to
be alert since the doctors wouldn't allow them to kill off the enemy, Hiba. Next, Relena's
been around once they've arrived. Calling out with her piercing yell around the school and
because of that she hasn't slep that well in about a month and a half now. Thinking
about that, she bowed her head and shook it.
"and then we can go to the.."babbled Relena.
Heero's eyes were hardening with irritation and anger as Relena continued to hug him.
"Man, you could see his eyes twitching. That's a first!"Duo noticed as he started
laughing.
"Duo, please,"sighed Hotaru.
At once, Duo clamped his mouth shut and tried to regain his maturity as he tried to
figure out a way to keep Relena off of Heero.
"Let's go the .....after...so.."continued Relena, pressing herself to Heero much tighter
and having a smiling face on.
(The nerve of this girl! One can only take so much. I don't think Serena was this
bad when she was younger!)Hotaru said to herself as she gazed at the pacifist.
"I'll deal with this,"uttered Hotaru as she stealthily walked over to the two in
front of them.
"I'm sorry but I have to do this to you, Miss Relena,"Hotaru apologized as she placed
two hands on the back of her head.
"What are you..."started Relena as she swirved her head to Hotaru but her eyes
went wide-eyed and she slumped to the ground.
"Sorry,"Hotaru apologized once more but inside she was grinning with all her might.
"What did you do to her?"Duo wondered, stooping down and placing his hands to
feel for a pulse.
"She's alive, we're not allowed to kill her. So oh well..."shrugged Hotaru.
"Too bad, we wouldn't blame you if you did obliterate Peacecraft,"Duo sadly said.
"Duo,"groaned Hotaru.
"We still need to get going, mission remember?"reminded Wufei.
"Right,"nodded the others and continued on their way, leaving Relena lying on the
cement being ignored.
********************
"That's weird, I never knew Hotaru could cast a sleeping spell,"Serena murmered to
herself as she continued to stare out the window.
Awhile ago, Serena was getting bored and decided to watch outside and at that same
time her friends came out of the Academy doors and heading outside. Just as they
were nearing the exit, a piercing should came from inside and Relena came running
up and glomped Heero Yuy. This proved to be interesting, as Serena continuted to
watch with some amusement.
After awhile, Hotaru came striding up to the two and placed her hands to Relena's back
and she drifted off to sleep.
"Hotaru hasn't used that before. Not in all the years I've known her,"wondered Serena.
(I wonder...I wonder if her other powers have started to awaken. Or she's always
had those powers with her but never used them.)thought Serena, frowning.
Now she just saw them go out of the Academy Grounds and down the street.
"They must have a mission; they're all together,"figured Serena turning around and
walking back to her laptop and turning it on.
********************
"Ready to go?"Quatre called out to the others in Sandrock.
"Ready,"they answered back.
"Systems in check?"Quatre asked.
"Hn."several answered, yes.
"Yep,"Duo replied.
"It's okay,"Hotaru smiled lightly from her Mobile Suit.
All lined up, side by side were the five Gundams with one Mobile Suit
beside Deathscythe. A reason for the Mobile Suit was simply because there wasn't
one made just for her. And also Doctor M really didn't feel as if Hotaru needed
a Gundam at the moment. She didn't mind actually. Hotaru knew about the Gundams
and the destruction they've done on several occassions, to her she felt that
it would be better if she just stuck to the Mobile Suit other than a Gundam that
was capable of such a massive attack against people.
"Let's go then,"Heero told them and began to steer his Gundam out of the hidden
base they were kept in.
"Remember, Wing will be over at the Sanq Kingdom bases. Heavyarms is
over at Brazil. Nataku will be at Africa. Sandrock and I will be over
in England. Deathscythe and Hotaru will be in the U.S. bases. After that
we'll be meeting in the Sahara Desert to finish the remaining bases,"instructed
Quatre.
"Got it,"they all nodded and sped off to their pin pointed locations.

Heavyarms landed safely on the green lands of Brazil, the machine's eyes
glowed a deep green color before returning to it's regular glare as it surveyed the
area.
"There,"muttered Trowa as he noticed one of the bases he was suppose to destroy and
then let out Beam Gatling Gun at the base. Immediately making the walls crumble into
a pile of rocks.
After a few minutes, he stopped and continued moving eastward till he reached another
one and repeated the process.

Sandrock came to England and took out its Twin Heat Blades. A base was right in
front of him and the defense mechanisims of the base came to life as it spotted him
heading their way. They instantly began firing at him but it apparently had no effect
as the Gundam continued to move closer to them.
"Sorry but I have to do this for: peace,"Quatre uttered and his kind blue eyes
started to harden as he forced himself to slash at the base, destroying the lives
who were inside its walls.

Nataku a.k.a Shenlong stood its ground as Leos came at him. Shenlong performed its
Dragon Fang attack at the Leos finished with a Beam Naginata toward the base and
managed to 3/4 of the whole building. Then Nataku rammed at it, destroying the
fortification. Debris blew all around and once it ended, Shenlong stood there, staring
at the desert regions of Africa.
"Weaklings. They shouldn't fight,"Wufei mumbled as he glanced around the country.

The Wing Gundam took notice of the building in front of him. It's green eyes blaring
to life as it surveyed the area and then dimmed down till it was back to normal. The
brown haired boy inside the machine was debating weather or not to destroy this with
demolition or by using his Gundam's weapons. Just as the first laser gun was shot at
him, he decided.
"Omae o korosu,"Heero uttered his trademark words and gave his infamous glare at the
building.
The Gundam sprinted off to the building, slashing at the machines lined all around with
its Beam Sabers then stood once he broke into the building. Hundreds of soldiers began
to shoot at the tall Gundam and some wisely enough, chose to run for their lives.
"I will not let you live,"Heero added after awhile as he brought his Two Sabers
and slashed through the rest of the base.

"Here we are,"Duo announced as they saw one of the bases.
"Let's do this,"Hotaru nodded in acknowledgement.
"Be careful,"Duo gave a small smile as he put the vid screen on and saw his beloved
Hotaru staring right back at him with an affectionate smile plastered on her face.
"I will just as long as you will,"Hotaru stated.
Duo winked then shut off the vid screen; the two machines marched on and up to the
base.
"The God of Death is here!"Duo announced, giving an amused glint in his eyes.
"With the Goddess of Death,"Hotaru put up a concentrated look and started of
with shooting at the base with her armeries.
***************
For about an hour, the six of them continued obliterating the bases they've been assigned
to do. From the the U.S. to the Sanq Kingdom. All the pilots completing their tasks and
finally they were finished until just one of the areas were needed to accomplish.
"Everyone finished?"contacted Quatre from the communicator inside the Gundams.
"Yeah, we're done,"they answered.
"Hey, hold up!"Duo interrupted.
"What is it Maxwell?"Wufei wondered.
"Hotaru is trying to tell me something,"Duo informed them.

(What is this? Something's going on...but what?)wondered Hotaru as she tried to
contact Duo.
"What is it Hotaru?"asked Duo.
"The last place needs to be dealt with,"reminded Hotaru.
"We know that,"Duo answered.
"Yes, but what you don't know is that Hiba is there,"Hotaru informed him.
"What?!?"Duo sounded shocked.
"Yup, the Sahara Desert is the place where he's hiding nowadays,"Hotaru confirmed.
"How did you know that?"Duo demanded.
"Dr. M contacted me just now,"Hotaru winked through the vid screen they had
put up.
"Alright, I'm telling the others,"Duo sighed and temporarily shut off the screen.

"Hiba is in the Sahara Desert, most likely in one of the bases,"Duo told the others.
"Hmph, weakling. Hiding out in the desert just like the coward he
is,"Wufei commented.
"Believe what you will Wufei, but we have a mission to do,"Trowa quietly spoke.
"Let's get going!"Duo shouted with a bit of his patience wearing thin.
"We should, the day is closing out on us. It's already dark out here,"Quatre agreed.
"Hn,"Heero nodded in agreement.

And so the five gundams and the Mobile Suit went off toward the Desert Regions in
the Sahara.
****************
"Commander,"one of the soldiers spoke up a bit cautiously.
"Yes?"Hiba answered/asked.
"The men has sent me to tell you that there are six unknown figures coming toward
this way.
"Hmm..must be the gundams,"Hiba quietly uttered, mostly to himself.
"What should we do?"the soldier questioned a bit hesitant.
"Send out the troops in the Dolls and get the Leos and Taurus out there. Put up a
higher defense around all the bases around the Desert and warn the neighboring
bases about them,"commanded Aenon Hiba.
"Uhh..sir?"the soldier was once again questioning.
"What?"Hiba's tone was a bit more demanding.
"I'm afraid mostly all of the G.C. bases have been destroyed,"the soldier quietly
spoke out.
"What?!"Hiba's voice was dangerously loud now and the so the soldier coward before
him, afraid of the wrath he may unleash.
****************
"Tell me, how long will it be till we reach the Desert?"wondered Hotaru through the
all link communicator that was set up not that long ago.
"Not long now,"Duo answered.
"I see,"sighed Hotaru and tried to concentrate more about navigating her Mobile Suit.
Although her body was steering the ship, her mind was wandering off.
(I still can't put my finger on it but something is going to happen. I'm sure
of it, could it be good or bad? Boy, I hope it's good. We could use some luck
about now. My machine isn't doing too well. It's running low on every weapon stored
in here. I've used too much on those bases.)sighed Hotaru, bowing her head for
a moment.
(Not only that but I'm sure the others have a limited supply as well. Even Duo.
Please be okay after all of this is over, Duo. Goddess Selene, protect us. Protect
Duo.)prayed Hotaru.
***************
"There's the first upcoming base!"Quatre pointed out as they surveyed the area
and spotted a small dot in the distance.
"Let's get going!"Hotaru called out and started off.
"Be careful,"Duo softly stated and followed the others toward the dot.

Not too long after that, they were being attacked by several Dolls and Suits that
came at them. Lasers and bullets came pelting at the six machines but they would
be able to withstand the attacks or managed to block it off using their shields.
"We won't be able to hold them off much longer!"Hotaru managed to tell them inbetween
dodging the laser beams.
"We know that! But what can we do?"demanded Duo through the link.
"We don't have much choices do we?"a smug Wufei spoke up.
"No, we don't,"Quatre said.
"I'll use Homing Missile Launcher at the enemies, that should get us some time
to get to the base and you guys can finish that one off,"Trowa said.
"Works for me,"Duo shrugged.
"Let's do this,"Wufei nodded.
Heavyarms stopped and the five other suits surrounded him and started attacking
the upcoming enemies. Trowa slowed his breathing and then veered to the left,
facing the base that stood there. He pressed the button and aimed then fired at
the base, managing to annihilate a good deal of the fortification.
"That settles that,"Trowa simply said.
The leftover enemies stopped for awhile as they watched one of their bases
get demolished by a lone Gundam. While they were gawking, the Gundams and Hotaru
took advantage of the situation and used their handweapons on them which deminished
the attackers by half of what they were left. Now leaving 10 left.
"This is almost too easy now,"Wufei smirked and used his Dragon Fang at the
ten Leos that were there.
"Only 49 more to go,"Quatre sighed and began walking.
"Yes, 49 bases,"nodded Hotaru and followed after him with Wing, Heavyarms, Deathscythe,
and Shenlong trailing behind.

After two more bases they were beginning to run really low on their supplies for the
Gundams and the Mobile Suit of Hotaru. Which came down to only having Wing use his
one Machine Cannon and Shenlong using his Beam Naginata left. The others have already
been left to their main weapons while Hotaru's Suit had to dodge only and use a bit
of her armeries that was dwindling to nothing.
"We still have a long way to go,"Quatre stated, landing a blow to fifteen of the
Taurus that were in front of him.
"We need to finish this mission,"Heero grunted and had his Saber slice through the
enemies.
"There's the base, let's get this over with,"Wufei said and started toward it.
Wufei's Gundam powered up his Beam Naginata and then fired it off, thus destroying
that third base with some ease aside from earlier.

The fourth base was the hardest on them as they saw a huge amount of enemies
come charging toward them and with everything dwindling it was difficult as they
tried to hold their own.
"How did they manage to know we were coming?!"demanded Duo as he slashed and slashed
against the Mobile Dolls.
"No clue, they must've been expecting us or one of them managed to get a glimpse
of us coming,"suggested Quatre.
"Quit chatting over there and keep fighting!"Wufei growled.
"Boy, someone's patience ran out,"smirked Duo jokingly which earned another growl
from Wufei.
The six suits kept fighting and defending themselves against the upcoming
armies that seemed to have popped out of nowhere from the desert sands.
"Damn this!"shouted Quatre.
"Did he just say..."began Duo.
"..what I think..."Wufeipicked up.
"...he..."Heero spoke over.
"..said?"Trowa ended.
Quatre obviously was ticked off, his pure blue eyes darkening and his expressiong
going cold as he sat in his Sandrock. The Sandrock's eyes glowed a dark green and
then he began steering his Gundam quickly, slashing his Twin Heat Blades at the
oncoming enemies and not relenting whatsoever.
"Woah, he's mad,"Duo's eyes widened at the sight.
"I've never seen him this angry before,"Hotaru quietly commented.
"Neither have I,"Wufei agreed.
As quickly as their shock came, they had to focus on their enemies who didn't know
what hit them as their fellow comrade went on a rampage, killing those who were in
his way.
"This is sort of like what happened back then, out in outerspace,"Trowa spoke up.
"Missed that,"Duo sighed and continued slicing his enemies in half.
After that, Quatre's anger relented and he was soon back to normal before he
reached the base. So that was where Wing came in, using his remaining Machine Cannon
to destroy that base. Which left them with only their leftover weapons to use.
"Great, we still have a long way to go..."sighed Duo as they continued walking
east from where they were from.
*************
"Sir, I'm afraid the Gundams are still at it,"the soldier reported.
"I'm fully aware of that, soldier,"Hiba calmly told him.
"Sir?"the soldier was clueless.
"They've used up a large quantity of their powers that are stored in their Gundams.
One of the other soldiers have told me they went off and dealt with our neighboring
bases and without hesitation they came here. So they're at this moment, running out
of their supplies,"smirked Hiba.
"What shall we do then?"the soldier asked.
"Nothing at the moment, just wait and see,"Aenon Hiba said, lying back on his chair.
"Yes, sir,"the soldier saluted and left.
"Very well put,"the voice from the shadows complimented.
"Just hope this will turn out well,"Hiba said.
"How long till the machine is done?"the voice inquired.
"Not long, only a few days left now,"Hiba reported.
"Good,"the voice stated and a breeze was heard as it left.
**************
It wasn't going well for the men as they battled on, Hotaru was left to only dodging
the attacks and if she didn't act quickly she would be long dead by now. Deathscythe
was nearby to help her out and Nataku would be there for him. Heavyarms and Sandrock paired
up while Wing was doing well on his own against the enemies. Even though they were
holding on, they held by only a small thin thread that was there and if that thread was
pushed too far they'd be left with nothing to hold them up.
"We can't take much more of this, their defense too strong,"Hotaru shouted in frustration.
"We won't give up, not yet. We've been through worse,"Duo defended.
"That was only because you were stacked up with armeries. We've just come from
defeating most of the world's bases from G.C.!"Hotaru pointed out.
"If we run off, we'd only come back to know they have made more defenses or that Hiba
has evaded our grasp,"Wufei told her.
"You're right,"Hotaru sighed in defeat.
(If we keep this up, I'll be forced to use my scout form. And if I do that, I'd be
in big trouble from Pluto. I told her I wouldn't use that form while in here. But..I don't
want them to be hurt. What shall I do?)Hotaru wondered.
That was when the attackers slammed hard onto Deathscythe, sending the Gundam to
skid on the ground with the machine's arm badly damaged as well as its middle.
"Duo!!"Hotaru shouted through the communicator, her voice filled with worry.
"I'm....okay,"Duo weakly told her, the vid screen not working and static fully there.
"It doesn't sound like it,"Hotaru uttered.
"Don't worry about me,"Duo tried to calm her down and Deathscythe began to rise again.
Just as Deathscythe was on his knees that attackers took the opportunity and slammed
into each one of the Gundams full force. They all skidded off, leaving Hotaru the only
one up.
"Shit,"Duo's voice sounded through the communicators as he watched his comrades
be taken down.
"Looks like a bleak future at this time, doesn't it?"Quatre tried in vain to lighten
the mood but didn't work as no one replied to this.
They were now surrounded and the Leos and Taurus were advancing toward Hotaru's Mobile
Suit and onto the Gundams who began to get themselves up.
(Here goes nothing.)Hotaru told herself, closing her eyes and starting to raise her
hand toward the escape hatch.
*************
"What is this?"demanded Hiba as he was around his men and watching the monitors.
"What's what sir?"inquired a fellow soldier.
"This!"demanded Hiba, pointing to a blinking light on this screen.
"Well sir..."started the soldier as calmly as he can.
*************
Just as the Leos came at them with the Taurus on their heels a bright blinding
flash came on and destroyed the suits that tried to harm them.
"What?"they all wondered in unison, some saying and some didn't.
That was when they saw another flash of light and managed to obliterate the base
over there. Then it quickly sped toward the left over enemies and used its beam sword
at them, slashing and slicing.
"How?"wondered Hotaru.
"Who is that?"wondered the others with some added,"A Gundam?!"
Right before their eyes they saw a machine made of silver, blue, and white
with some black. There was a crescent mark on the forehead of the face as it
gleamed lightly from the light of the moon over them.
"Who are you?"Heero demanded coldly through the open communicator that allowed
them to converse with one another openly.
"I'm surprised,"the figure chuckled lightly and opened the escape hatch of
the Gundam.
They were all surprised to find who it was that came out from the Gundam.
"Don't remember your fellow pilot? 06 of the Gundam Arethusa?"winked 06.
Long golden hair flowed around her in two streamers of her meatball hairstyle. Her
eyes a crystalline blue that showed some maturity for one as young as her age and an
aura of pure innocence and kindness. She wore a white tank top with silver linings
on the bottom and blue jeans.
"It's me. Serena or otherwise known as Usagi,"smiled Serena as they all got out of
their own respective Gundams.

To be continued....
*******************
There goes the next chapter! ^_^ I'm happy that I managed to get this up but I'm
terribly sorry that I didn't read it over so there may be a lot grammar and spelling
mistakes and possibly stuff that doesn't make sense. ^^;;;;; Although some parts
are probably suppose to make sense like who is that voice still right? ^_~ Well not
gonna say. Not yet anyways but we're getting there. Really we are. I mean they get
to meet Serena again. Or Usagi as they know her as with the exception of some characters.
Now then, you're going to have to wait for the next one. Not sure when though.
Xelloss: Count on it being awhile. ^^
Cheska: Xelloss?!?! *bonks him hard on the head with an overlarge mallet*
Xelloss: I enjoyed that! ^^ *then falls on the ground* @_@
Cheska: Hmph. Well see ya till then! Bye!! *waves with a grin on her face*
