Ch-1
The Kale Incident: In a gamble to end the rebellion,
the Preventer’s hastily made a decision to strike against Kale Young. Going
only on a radio transmission from Kale himself, the Preventer’s assembled 30
Preventer Cruisers, 20 Mobile Suit Carriers; each Carrier containing 10 suits.
Also coming were the 5 Gundams, and the Tallgeese. They then launched a full
frontal attack. However it was all just a trap organized by Kale. The
Preventer’s did manage to beat the Blood Fang, but the price was great. Out of
the 30 Preventer Cruisers involved, only 7 came back; and out of the 200 suits
that were sent in, only 38 were left. And victory was only obtained when Zechs
Marquis, the greatest warrior the Preventer’s had, sacrificed his own life. The
disaster has been labeled The Kale Incident, and it is still a dark stain that
haunts the Preventer’s to this day.
It is now the year A.C.
203 and since the disastrous Kale incident, changes have been made. The senate
on ESUN felt that the Preventers were no longer capable of defending the peace
alone. In an historic and unanimous vote, the ESUN approved the formation of a
new organization, the United Military Service, aka, the UMS. However the head
of the ESUN Relena Darlin, who was too grief stricken over the loss of her
brother, could not continue her duties. In the year A.C. 202, she resigned from
head of the ESUN, shortly before the vote. Heero Yuy also found himself unable
to go on with his duties, and retired his position on the senate. Heero and
Relena now live in a seclude area of the New Sanq Kingdom.
Yuy Mansion
(Sanq Kingdom)
"Goodbye
Heero..."
Heero watched as Zechs
suit slammed into the control ship and exploded.
“ZECHS!”
Heero bolted upright from
his bed and began to breath heavily.
“ZECHS…Zechs…”
Relena woke up and looked
at Heero “Heero… are you alright?”
Heero got up from his bed
and ran to bathroom. He locked the door behind him, ran over to the toilet, and
vomited. He then staggered over to the sink and cleaned himself up. As he
splashed his face with water, he heard Relena’s voice from the door.
“Heero… are you alright…
Heero… please… open the door.”
Heero opened the door and
saw a teary eyed Relena. Heero touched her check and embraced her. Both began
to cry as they held each other.
It had been more than 2
years since the incident, but the memories continued to haunt him. They haunted
him in reality, and in his dreams, and they only got worse during this time of
year. Because it was 3 year ago, on this day, that Zechs had died.
Heero stroked Relena’s
hair and looked into her eyes “I’m sorry to worry you Relena, it’s just, I’m
still having nightmares about that day…”
Relena placed a hand on
his cheek “Your not alone Heero, I’ve had them too. The only thing we can do is
to try to be strong and overcome them.”
“Your right,” Heero looked
out the window and saw it was still dark “What time is it?”
“It’s about 5:30, sunrise
should be coming up soon,” Said Relena
Heero nodded and looked at
Relena “Hey Relena.”
“What is it?”
Heero looked at the window
“When was the last time we saw the sun rise together?”
Relena smiled as Heero
took her by the hand and led her out the balcony. They both held each other
close as the sun peaked over the horizon. Soon the whole sky was a beautiful
shade of orange and yellow.
Heero stroke Relena’s hair
and looked up at the sky “Zechs… I wish you were still here.”
Later that morning
Heero and Relena sat down
at the dining table as a servant brought them their breakfast. The two ate in
silence for most of the breakfast. Finally Relena spoke up.
“You know Heero; the head
of the Sanq Kingdom is going to retire soon. That
means as soon as he does, there will be an election.”
Heero looked at her
astonished “Relena, are you thinking of running?”
Relena nodded “I’m tired
of living in seclusion, I want to do something, I want to make a difference.”
“Relena, that‘s a very
tough job, are you sure your mentally ready for this?”
Relena sighed “I don’t
know, but what I do know is that I’m tired of doing nothing. I want to do
something with my life; I want to help people again. I know I messed up the
first time around, but I feel this could be a second chance for me.”
Heero nodded “Relena I
wish that I had the strength that you do. It’s been three years, and I still
can’t get past it.”
Relena grabbed Heero’s
hand “I know your still hurting, just know you’re not alone. He was our
brother, but when he died, it impacted the entire group. We all had a close
bond with him, he wasn’t just our friend, he was our family. Just like Quatre,
Duo, Trowa, and Wu-Fei are too.”
Heero looked down at the
table; Relena walked over and wrapped her arms around him.
“Heero, through whatever
problems you may face, just remember that I’ll always be by your side.”
Heero looked at her and
nodded “I know… thank you for everything.”
The two held each other for
awhile before Relena broke the hug “Now, we better get ready, we need to get
some flowers before we head over to the cemetery.”
The two finished breakfast
and got ready for the trip.

Ch-2
Near Sanq Kingdom
Memorial
Relena stepped back into
the car, bouquet of flowers in hand. Heero started the car and drove towards
the destination. Heero looked over at Relena who was clutching the flowers.
“What kind are they?”
Relena looked at him
“Zechs never did tell me what his favorite kind was, so I brought a mixture of
flowers. Do you think there good enough?”
Heero smiled “They look
nice, I’m sure they'll be fine.”
They continued to drive
until they reached a set of gates that were opened. The sign above said “Sanq
Kingdom Memorial”.
They parked the car and
walked past a memorial of all the other soldiers that fell during the battle
with Kale.
“So many lives lost…” Thought
Heero
They continued to walk
past the graves until they reached a decorated Gravestone.
Here lies Zechs
Marquis, devoted warrior for peace and justice
May his Heart, Spirit
and Soul forever be with us
Relena kneeled down and
placed the flowers on the grave. She traced the outline of the engravings and
wept quietly. Heero placed a hand on her shoulder and permitted himself to shed
a few tears. As he looked at the gravestone, he saw various items indicating
that the others had arrived earlier. But one item caught his eye; it was a
letter, from Noin.
“Noin… I haven’t seen
her since…”
Heero’s thoughts drifted
back to the funeral. The funeral, he could remember it like it was yesterday.
Heero just sat in his
chair as he stared at the coffin filled with Zechs personal items. Everyone
from the Preventers had shown up for the funeral, including Lady Une. Heero
looked over at Duo and Hilde. Hilde had her head buried in Duo’s shoulder as
she wept aloud. Duo had one hand on Hilde’s shoulder; his own face was buried
in the other hand as tears ran down it freely. Trowa and Catherine both held
each other in their arms as tears rolled down their cheeks. Wu-Fei wrapped his
arms around Sally in an attempted to comfort her, but a heavy flow of tears
flew down his face too. Noin, accompanied by a teary eyed Quatre, slowly walked
up to the coffin. She wore a black dress with a black veil hanging over her face.
When she reached the coffin, she placed a hand on it, and collapsed to the
ground with a sob. Quatre knelt beside her and offered any sort of comfort he
could to her. Heero stood up from his seat, took a deep breath, and began to
speak the eulogy.
“Everybody in life
wants to be remembered for something. They want to leave a legacy behind, so
that future generations will be proud of them and their accomplishments.”
Heero looked down at
the coffin “Zechs… words can not do justice for what you did… You didn’t just
save our lives… you saved all of earth and space. You sacrificed yourself to
assure that future generations wouldn’t have to go through what we went
through.”
Heero placed a hand on
the coffin “Zechs… you were my brother, and though we were once enemies, you
were my most trusted friend and ally… I’m proud that I can call you my
brother.”
Heero’s voice began to
croak “I…I know that you’re looking down on all of us… and that you’ll always
be with us. So I’ll try to make you proud, I’ll try to live a life that you’d
want me to.”
Tears now began to fall
down his face “Zechs…I still miss you, I loved you, we all did, you were are
family, are brother… and I’ll never forget that. Zechs I… oh god…”
Heero put a hand over
his face and wept aloud. Relena walked up to him and held him as tears came
down his face. After awhile, Heero slowly broke the hug. And with tears still
running down his face, he kneeled down, and kissed the coffin.
After the preacher said
a few words, there was a moment of silence as the coffin was slowly lowered
into the ground. Afterwards, each of the guests walked up to the coffin, and
said a little prayer. Then one by one, they left until just the Gundam Pilots
remained. Heero took one last look at the coffin, and then to the sky. He knew Zechs
was up there watching, waiting…
“Heero,”
Heero snapped out of his
trance and looked at Relena “What is it?”
Relena sighed, “It’s been
almost an hour, we should get going soon.”
Heero nodded “Yeah,” He
looked at the coffin and ran his hands on it. “Goodbye Zechs.”
Heero rose to his feet
“Let’s go.”
Heero took Relena by the
hand and they began to walk out of the cemetery.
“Heero… my god, is that
you?”
Heero quickly spun around
and stared at the face of Duo Maxwell.

Ch-3
Sanq Kingdom Memorial
Heero walked over and gave
Duo a big hug “Oh my god, I haven’t seen you in years.”
Duo released the hug and
looked Heero in the eyes “It’s been too long my friend.”
Duo looked at Relena
“Relena, it’s good to see you again.”
He grabbed her hand,
kissed it lightly, and gave her a brief hug.
Relena smiled “It’s good
to see you too, where’s Hilde?”
“She had to use the
restroom; she should be back soon though.”
“Hey guys.”
The three of them looked
over and saw Hilde coming towards them. Hilde grinned as she saw Heero and
Relena.
“Wow, It’s been ages since
I last seen you two.”
She walked over and gave
Heero a quick kiss on the cheek and Relena a hug before returning to Duo.
“It’s nice to see you
again too.” Said Relena
Heero nodded “Same here, I
haven’t been able to see any of the other pilots for awhile.”
Duo sighed, “Yeah me to,
it’s really hard to visit them, they always seem really busy.”
Hilde shrugged her
shoulders “Yeah but at least we all still talk to each other more often.”
Relena nodded “True, but
it would be nice if we could all visit each other once awhile.”
“Um since were here,
Relena would you mind if I talked to Heero privately for a moment?” Said Duo
“Not at all.”
Heero nodded and walked
with Duo through the cemetery.
“So how are you holding
up?” asked Duo
Heero sighed, “Not to well
I’m afraid, I… I’m still not fully over it yet.”
Duo nodded “I don’t blame
you, not a day goes by where I don’t think about it. I’m sure glad I have
Hilde; she’s really kept me together these past few years.”
“I know what you mean, if
Relena wasn’t in my life… well… I don’t want to think about it. So how’s the
scrap metal business going?”
Duo smiled “It’s still
going strong; I now own shops on almost every colony. I‘m now almost 1/8 as
rich as Quatre is.”
Heero chuckled “That’s
good to hear, do you talk to the others regularly?”
“Yeah off and on, not
nearly as much as I should.”
Heero nodded “Yeah I’ve
been like that too. Hey, did you hear that Quatre and Dorothy broke up?”
“Who didn’t, I spoke with
him a few days afterwards, and he was still pretty torn up about it.”
“Did you ever figure out
the reason why?”
“Yeah, apparently they
decided that they were getting too busy to have a stable relationship. I guess
it’s understandable with Quatre running his Fathers Company, and Dorothy
getting elected as a senator.”
“So it was mutual?” Asked
Heero
Duo nodded “Yeah but it
still hurt him pretty bad.”
Heero sighed “Well that
goes without saying, I still can’t believe though that Dorothy became a senator
for the ESUN.”
“It is kind of strange but
then again you were a senator too, speaking of which, are you going to try to
get back on the senate?” asked Duo
Heero shook his head “In
my present state, there’s no way I’d be able to focus. However Relena is
planning on running for President of the Sanq Kingdom.”
“That’s good for her,
she’ll win no contest.”
The two walked for a while
in silence before Heero spoke up.
“What’s on your mind?”
Duo sighed “Well…I don’t
want to talk about it here, is there by any chance you could go out.”
“Yeah, but I’ll have to
tell Relena first, your car or mine?”
“We’ll take my car, that
way Relena can show Hilde around.”
Heero nodded “Right,”
Heero and Duo walked back
to where Hilde and Relena were talking.
“Hey Hilde, I’m going to
take Heero out so I’ll need the car, would that be alright?”
Hilde nodded “Sure, I
could use some time with Relena, we have a lot of catching up to do.”
Heero walked over to
Relena and kissed her “I’ll be back some time tonight okay?”
“Alright, well be back at
the mansion, just be safe and stay out of trouble.”
Heero smiled “No problem,
its Duo I need to watch out for.”
Hilde smirked “You guys
have fun, see ya later Duo.”
Duo quickly kissed her
“Okay see ya tonight.”
Heero and Duo walked over
to Duo’s car.
“Wow, this is nice.” Said
Heero as he ran his hand across the jet-black paint.
Duo smiled “You like it,
it’s my favorite one. It’s modeled after a classic, but I’m not sure though.
What I do know is that it’s very fast.”
“Great, I knew I should’ve
written my will this morning.” Said Heero with a smirk.
Duo laughed, “Oh shut up
and get in, I’m not that bad of a driver.”
They both got in and Duo
sped off.

Sanq Kingdom
“So how are things with
you and Hilde?” asked Heero
Duo looked at him and
smiled “Well… I asked her to marry me, and she said yes.”
Heero’s eyes opened wide
“Well congratulations, although it’s not like she’d say anything different.
When did you ask her?”
“About 6 months ago.”
“So are you going to have
the wedding soon?’ Asked Heero
Duo shrugged “We’re not
sure on a date, but it is in the near future. And I know this goes without
saying but I’m choosing you for the best man.”
Heero looked at him and
smiled “Thanks Duo… I really appreciate that.”
“Come on, don’t get all
sentimental over it, we both knew you were going to be it for a long time now.”
Said Duo as he pulled into a parking lot of a bar.
Heero looked at Duo
confusedly “Duo, if we have to talk, why are we going to a bar?”
Duo smiled “What can I
say, I like bars. Besides a few drinks never hurt, come on, they’re on me.”
Heero sighed “Alright, but
no shots, I can’t stand that kind of stuff.”
Duo smiled “Fair enough…
wimp.”
The two both laughed and
got out of the car, and stepped into the bar. A couple of people looked at them
when they entered, but resumed their business. Heero and Duo walked over to an
empty table in the corner and sat down. A minute later a lady came up to them.
“Hello boys, what can I
get you?”
“Two beers for now.”
She nodded “Okay, I’ll be
right back.”
Heero looked around the
room and then at Duo “Alright Duo, honestly, why did you bring me…”
Duo held up his hand “Hold
that though.”
The lady came back holding
two bottles of beer “Here you go.”
Duo smiled, gave her some
money, and took the beers “Thank you, I let you know if we nee anything else.”
She nodded and left.
Duo gave a bottle to Heero
“To Zechs.”
Heero touched Duo’s bottle
with his own “To Zechs.”
They both tool a gulp and
set them down.
“Alright, so what’s the
reason you brought me here?” Asked Heero
Duo reached into his
pocket and pulled out 5 photo’s “Take a good look at these.”
Heero looked at the
pictures, and his mouth dropped “Duo… are these are Gundams?”
Duo nodded “Yeah, they
look great don’t they.”
“They look… different.“
Duo smiled “Well, that’s
probably because I upgraded them.”
Heero looked at him
wide-eye “What do you mean upgraded?”
“Well about a year and a
half ago I decided that if another war ever broke out, we would need more
advanced Gundams. So with permission from Lady Une, I got some mechanics, and
completely re-modified our Gundams with the most advance technology.”
“Duo this is incredible.”
Duo shrugged his shoulders
“I can’t take all the credit, I came up with the design, it was Howard and his
team who put then together.”
Heero just stared at the
photos “Well with Howard involved I know I can except the best, do any other of
the pilots know about this?”
Duo shook his head “Nope
you’re the first, but I have an idea on how to tell them.”
“What’s that?”
Duo grinned “A reunion, I
call them all up and we all get together, that way we can all see each other
again, and I can tell them the news. Hell I’ll even bring Howard; I know he’ll
want to see the gang again.”
Heero smiled “That’s
great, but where should we hold this reunion?”
Duo shrugged “I would say
my house, but it’s always too busy.”
“Well how about my
mansion, it’s big and we have pool. It would be perfect; we’ll all have a great
time.”
Duo smiled and put a blank
stare on his face.
“What are you doing?”
asked Heero
“I’m trying to imagine
Relena in a bikini.”
Heero glared at him “You
know, I am carrying a gun.”
Duo laughed, “I’m just
kidding man, but that pool idea sounds great.”
Heero smiled “Well then
it’s on.”
They both took another
drink of beer and began chatting about various things. Suddenly, a large man
walked into the room accompanied by 8 other men. They saw Heero and Duo at the
table and walked over to them.
“Well well, what do we
have here, you boys must not be from here cause if you did, you know that this
is my table.”
Heero looked up at him
“There’s plenty of other places to sit, couldn’t you find another table?”
“Yeah besides it’s not
like you own this bar.” Chimed Duo
“That’s where your wrong
pretty boys, my name is Trent,
and this is my bar. So I think we have a problem here.”
“Look we don’t want any
problems, why don’t you just sit down and have a drink with us?”
Trent slammed his hand on the tabled and
yelled at them.
“YOU LISTEN HERE YOU SON
OF A BITCH, YOU GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, OR YOU WON’T MAKE HOME ALIVE!”
He then grabbed Duo’s
braid and yanked hard on it. Duo grimaced and made a motion for his gun.
Heero shook his head
“Let’s have some fun with these guys.”
Duo smiled and stood up
from the table “Well I’m sorry Trent,
here you go. Come on Heero, if the baby is going to cry about it, we better
leave.”
“WHAT!”
“You heard me you
worthless piece of shit!”
Trent yelled and lounged at him, but was
sent flying back with a right hand from Duo.
Heero looked at the other
8 “You boys better clear out, before something bad happens to you.”
They just continued to
glare at them, one made a lunge for Heero, but he took him down with an elbow
to the nose. Duo ran up to one, and slammed his fist into the man’s gut,
doubling him over. He then grabbed his head and knocked him out with a knee to
the face. Heero ducked a punch from one, and countered it with an uppercut to
the jaw. Duo grabbed another man by the face and repeatedly head butted the
man’s nose, he then threw him into the wall. Heero blocked another punch and
responded with a front kick to the man’s stomach, and followed it with a round
house to the head. Another one tried to punch Duo from behind, but Duo caught
the arm, and threw the man over his shoulder through a table.
Heero and Duo looked
around the room, there were still 2 more, but they were just standing there.
“What’s the matter; you
were all acting tough before.” Said Heero
Duo smirked “Don’t tell me
you’re afraid of a couple of pretty boys like us?”
As Duo and Heero
approached them, the men started backing up a bit.
“Come on guys lets do
this, I’m having fun.” Said Duo
Heero smiled “Ready when
you two ladies are.”
The two men ran out of the
bar as fast as they could. Heero and Duo just looked at each other and grinned.
Suddenly Trent
came in from behind with a chair and smashed it over Duo’s head. Heero grabbed
him by the hair, punched him in the nose, kicked him in the groin, and kneed
him in the face. Trevor fell on his back and laid there, Heero kicked him a few
time before helping Duo to his feet.
“You alright Duo?”
Duo nodded “Yeah,” He
shook his head a bit and saw Trent
trying to get to his feet “That cowardly son of a bitch!”
He walked up to Trevor and
knocked him back on the ground. He then began kicking him repeatedly in the
ribs. Heero ran to Duo and pulled him away from him.
“Easy Duo, don’t you think
he’s had enough?”
Duo looked at Trevor and
saw him squirming “Nope, not yet,” He gave him another couple of kicks “I think
that ought of do it.”
Heero and Duo looked at
each, other and kicked Trent
one last time. Just then they heard sirens in the distance.
“Let’s get the hell out of
here before we get arrested!” Yelled Duo
“Right,”
Duo quickly gave the owner
over 500 and ran out the door with Heero. They both got into the car and sped
off. After they were a good distance from the bar, Heero and Duo looked at each
other, and began laughing hysterically.
Duo patted Heero on the
shoulder “Hey man, now are you glad that I took you out?”
Heero smiled “You know
something; this is exactly what I needed. I’ve been having some rough times, but
tonight, I felt good. For the first time in awhile I felt like I was alive, and
I owe it all to you man.”
Duo smirked “You’re not
going to try and kiss me are you?”
Heero smiled and raised
his eyebrows “You never know.”
Duo chuckled a bit;
suddenly he heard his cell phone ring. Duo grabbed his phone and answered it.
“Duo here, oh hey Hilde,
your ready to be picked up now, ok, I’ll see you in a few.”
Duo hanged up the phone
“That was Hilde, she needs to get home.”
Heero nodded “That’s
okay.”
Duo continued to drive
until they reached the Yuy
Mansion.
Duo smirked “Hey Heero,
about this whole brawl thing, let’s try to keep that under wraps.”
Heero nodded “Yeah, no
need to get our wives upset over this.”
Duo honked on the horn and
Hilde walked out of the house accompanied by Relena. Heero and Duo got out of
the car and looked at each other.
“Well Duo, it was good to
see you again.”
Duo smiled “Same here…
Listen I have something I want to give you.”
He reached into his coat
pocket and pulled out a photo, He handed it to Heero.
“To remind you of better
days.”
Heero looked at the photo
and a small smile came across his face. It was a picture from the reunion with
everybody in it.
Heero grinned and looked
at Duo “Thank you… this means a lot to me.”
“Don’t mention it, it the
least I could do to help out a friend.”
Heero smiled warmly and
gave him a brief hug; Duo returned the hug.
Heero released Duo “Well I
guess I’ll see you at the reunion.”
Duo smiled at him “Yeah,
I’ll give you a call later on this week.”
“Alright take care Duo.”
Said Heero
“Yeah, goodbye… for now.”
