Ch 5
"Okay boys, there has been an increase of activity from the new OZ organization," Lady Une said.
"They have had several MS built recently, and it looks like there has been a slight increase in officers. They are ready for war."
"How many MS are there?" Heero asked.
"Only about 200 and there are only about 500 soldiers," Noin answered.
"Are these guys nuts? We could destroy them in less than a week," Duo said.
"They must have something we over looked," Wufei said.
"I’ll look into it," Heero said. He walked over to his laptop and began to type.

"This is General Jackson, head of the new OZ organization’s military," the man on the TV said.
"Hey Une look," Noin said pointing to the figure.
"We are declaring war on the Preventors. Our goal is to control the relations between the Earth and the Colonies. The Colonies are sick of having the Earth control them, so we will correct the problem. Oh yeah and a personal note to the Gundam Pilots, we have our own Gundam pilots. Meet Eagle, Owl, Hawk, Kite, and Falcon; these are our pilots." As each of the girls were called, they stepped towards the camera all in black but no mask.
"Oh my God!" Noin said putting her hand to her mouth.
"No, no, no!" Duo screamed as he saw his little pixie appeared.
"The injustice," Wufei muttered softly.
Trowa dropped his glass of water, which smashed into pieces and said, "shit."
Quatre dropped to his knees and was muttering incomprehensible words under his breath. Heero’s face became red, but he said nothing.
General Jackson ended transmission. "Okay girls, suit up. You will began the first attack in one hour." He left the girls to attend to their duties.
"So, why would the Gundam pilots care if they saw us," Catherine said.
"I don’t know, maybe they are scared of women," Sally said with a grin.
"Oh yeah! Woman power!" Hilde punched the air to emphasize her position.
"Well, we better get our suits," Relena said.
Each girl had her own black flight suit. On the front of each was the girls’ bird. They grabbed their helmets and ran to their own Gundams.
"I love this," Hilde said as she started up Hawk. The Gundam responded with lighting up her bright green eyes. Each of the other Gundams responded in the same way. Quickly they headed to the Earth’s Preventor base for battle with the other Gundams.

"Are these the girls?" Quatre asked looking at the five bird-like Gundams that were flying in. They flue like Wing Zero in bird mode. The guys watched from their own Gundam.
"Do any of you guys see a theme here?" Duo commented.
"Guys, try to stop them without hurting them," Heero said.
"Good luck everyone," Quatre said. He also sent a private message to Trowa, "How are you holding up?"
"Okay, I guess."
Quatre felt awful. Trowa had to fight not only his girlfriend, like the others, he had to fight his sister. She was the only family Trowa had.
"Wufei, you still there?" Duo asked.
"Yes," he responded. Wufei didn’t talk a lot because his mind was on something else, and that something was Sally Po.
"Are those the old Gundam Pilots?" Hilde asked.
"I believe so," Relena said.
"Do you think we can beat them?" Hilde asked.
"I hope so," Dorothy said.
"Okay girls, it looks like we may have to start this battle. They seem to not want to battle us," Sally stated. She drew her beam saber and prepared to fight. The other girls followed in step.
"Great, they really want to fight," Duo muttered to himself. Slowly he drew his scythe. His gundam took a step forward. As much as he hated to, he had to protect the base, even if it meant hurting Hilde.
Suddenly, the battle began. Guns went off, swords clashed, and several MS on both sides went down. Neither side seemed to gain any ground. That is until some of the Preventor Taurus pilots decided to gang up together and attack one Gundam.
Dorothy screamed as ten Taurus attacked Falcon. ‘My God, I am going to die,’ she thought. She was near panic when her gundam started plummeting towards the ground. The impact nearly caused her to go unconscious, but she managed to crawl out before it exploded.
The other girls witnessed the explosion, but had not noticed pilots taking a limp blond girl away from the wreck.
"Is that Dorothy," Catherine asked the other girls. Her lavender eyes were wide with fright.
"I believe so," Hilde said solemnly. She knew how close the two girls were.
"Cathy, you need to be strong. We need you to finish the fight," Relena said. She added, "Do it for Dorothy." With that, all four of the girls continued to fight with more vengeance than before.
