Ground Zero
--->Mission 1Narrator: The year is After Colony 195.
Mankind has built massive colonies in space. But it
wasn't long before the Earth's rule over the colonies
became oppressive. So the colonies sent five
"shooting stars" to Earth--each bearing a
Gundam Mobile Suit and a brave pilot. That was Operation
Meteor--the beginning. These young pilots were swept up
into a conflict that escalated from Earth to the colonies
and cost an untod number of lives. During this time,
mankind suffered the wounds, loss and exhaustion of war.
In the midst of the war, a lone young woman entered the
political arena, preaching a philosophy of pure pacifism.
Her name was Relena Peacecraft, the queen in the royal
line of the Peacecraft Family. At first, people
considered her message to be too idealistic, but soon her
words spoke to the people's growing hatred of war. And
slowly, they took her pacifism to heart. Finally Earth
and the colonies abandoned their weapons and took the
first step into a brand-new age.
Sideline boy: All right! Go!
Sideline gir: Take it to the net!
Sideline boy: Hey... Who's that?
Sideline girl: Who?
Sideline boy: That guy. He's just been standing there
since the game started.
Sideline girl: Oh, him. I don't know.
Player: Where'd he--
Spectators: Yeah!!
Sideline girl: What the heck happened?!
Sideline boy: How'd he get the ball? I didn't see a
thing!
Sideline girl: Who IS that guy!?
Sideline kid: Heero Yuy. He just transferrred in a week
ago.
Student: Hey, you were great, man! I've never even seen
moves like that in COLLEGE ball!
Student 1:You're so quiet, we had no idea! I guess you
played b-ball in your last school, right?
Student: Hey, Heero...
Student 1: He's scary!
Student: Yeah!
Heero: -sigh- 'I made myself conspicuous again! But maybe
"conspicuous" isn't such a problem anymore...
Operation Meteor started a war. That war has now run its
course.'
Relena: Heero?
Heero: Relena.
Relena: The war is over.
Heero: I know.
Relena: You won't have to kill anyone ever again.
Heero: Probably not.
Relena: So what are you going to do?
Heero: I've never lived in a world without war. But I
thought... that maybe I'd TRY to live in this one. But
that's all I can say for now.
Relena: Then you can come with me...
Heero: No. That would be too much to ask.
Relena: This is best, Heero. You should see with your own
eyes, this world without war that you helped make.
Heero: Relena...
Heero: 'This isn't a battlefield. It has no need for a
warrior like me. That's impossible! What is this empty
feeling!?' Mail? From who?
E-Mail: Dear Sir Knight, I have claimed possession of
your WIng Gundam Zero. If you wish to reclaim it, proceed
to the colony at point 4.20.17., From 0.
Heero: 'Normally this would have been impossible. Zero's
slightest movement would have altered my security net.
The security net I established couldn't have been
breached even by Level 24 technicians. So, who? Normal
humans don't have the skill to pull this off. The only
people who could come close to accomplishing this are the
gundam pilots and Zechs Merquise. Unless there's somebody
else...' I'll have to go.
