Colony Wars

Prologue

            Heero’s eyes snapped open. There was something wrong. He hurried out of his

room, and stared up at the dawn sky. He couldn’t see anything even with the

aid of some nearby binoculars, so he went back in. Still, the felling was

hard to shake.

            Miles above, in orbit, a small transport was being pursued by one of the

White Fang’s Destroyers. Though valiantly trying to escape, it was caught in

the Destroyer’s tractor beam and slowly pulled in. On board, the droids

Q-3PO and R2-Trowa were searching for a means of fleeing. Their best hope

was obviously an escape pod, but those were few and reserved for officials.

As they passed a corrider lit by energy particle beams, they saw a sight

that would chill the blood, if they had any.

            Lord Dark Wu fei, right hand man of the Zechs-a-nator, was stutting along

the path, killing all soldiers who opposed him with a wave of his hand.

Q-3PO urged his counterpart to hurry, but was dismayed to see R2-Trowa was

not in the vicinity. Frantically looking for him, Q-3PO spotted R2 sitting

next to the Princess Relena, and hurried over to tell him off. However, they

ended up stumbling into a nearby escape pod and being jettisoned into space,

heading towards Tattoo, the desert planet. Lord Dark Wu Fei captured the

princess minutes later.
