The woman sighed.....it's going to be one hell of a meeting.

She looked at the person sitting before her.

A beautiful white blonde hair young woman was looking back at her with cold emotionless pale blue eyes.

"Dorothy, headquarters have assigned you another case. Dealing with Relena Peacecraft Yuy" said the woman.

She peered closely at Dorothy to see her reaction. There was none.

"What is it this time?" was the young woman's reply. Cold and unfeeling, that was her reply.

"You're to protect her against an assassin known as the Darkness" continued the woman. "And before you begin, this is not a job for Heero Yuy. You know as well as I know that Heero can't possibly protect her while he has become more human."

"I don't have to have those eyebrows as Catalonia again do I? Those sure were a hit with my super glue. But it was hell to keep them intact" said Dorothy.

"Nope, your going on a disguise as Dorothy Edwards. A recently joined preventer. All the information will be in the file when you reach your destination. Oh, by the way Dorothy" the woman had an evil smirk on her features "Your going to have to work with the gundam pilots on this one since they are on the same case as well"

Dorothy shot the woman a suffering glance.

"I have to work with THEM" said Dorothy

The woman only continued to do her evil smirk at her protege.

"At least I get to choose the eyebrows this time" muttered Dorothy as she went out of the room.

"Oh, Melanie by the way congratulations on your marriage to David" said Dorothy.

The door closed behind the now gaping woman.

"How on earth did she know I got married?" said a puzzled Melanie.

At Lady Une's Office.

The five gundam pilots were lounging around her office. To be more exact it was Duo who was lounging around, Trowa, Wufei and Heero were standing and Quarte was sitting.

Lady Une sighed.....it was going to be one hell of a meeting.

She looked at the five most feared gundam pilots in space and earth. It has been three years since the war ended.

Hilde and Duo got married. Relena and Heero got married too although Duo insisted it wasn't a real marriage since he didn't get to play the priest. Wufei and Sally were still with the preventers and Trowa, Catherine and Midii were in the circus performing as usual. Last but not least Quarte, still the Winner Heir taking care of the family business as of yet unmarried still.

"I called all of you together because of a crisis" started Lady Une.

Silence greeted her, as five pair of eyes were fixed on her.

"An information I received that concerns Relena." Lady Une paused as she continued on. "There is going to be an assassination attempt on Relena soon, by someone called the Darkness."

Duo hissed in suprise.

Everyone stared at Duo's reaction.

"What's going on you baka, you look pale as a ghost"stated Wufei

Duo looked around the room.

"Don't any of you know who the Darkness is?" asked a very pale Duo now.

The three gundam pilots shook their heads in negative except for Heero and Lady Une.

"He/She is the most feared and top assassin on the market available for hire." continued Duo. "Whoever hired him must be rich and loaded. Also the Darkness always completes every assignment given to him or her. No matter at what cost"

"We must get Relena under protection then" said Quarte.

"She already is" said Heero.

"Even Mr Perfect Soldier here won't be enough protection here including the whole preventers" stated Duo.

"He's right" said Lady Une. "It won't be enough protection for Relena even if it includes the five of you as well"

"What do you mean Onna?" asked a puzzled Wufei

"This assassin is known throughout the colonies and earth that it is the very best and I mean the best" stated Lady Une. "Relena already knows of her position. This assassin is unlike any other. They won't hit were the other usual attempts have already been made. In public, when on the media. Whatever. The Darkness only hits when it is least expects."

"So what can we do to help?" asked Quarte.

"There is someone coming in tomorrow who will help with this case. Someone who will help you with all your weaknesses" said Lady Une.

As she saw the glare coming from Wufei, she said sharply to him "Yes, Wufei even you have weaknesses. She is to help you all. And be a body guard for Relena twentyfour hours straight, seven days a week, including the five of you."

"HER" said a very angry Wufei

"Yes, a HER. She is trained in the past with every skills imaginable" said Lady Une.

"What makes you think Onna That the Darkness won't try and infiltrate in here" demanded Wufei.

"The Darkness doesn't like getting personal" said Duo. Then he smirked at Wufei. "I must say I can't wait to meet this chick who might be able to kick your butt Wu-man"

"Maxwell, do you still want your braid by the end of this meeting" said a very angry Wufei with a glint in his eye.

Duo slowly inched towards the door as Wufei went closer to Duo.

"That's enough from the both of you" said Lady Une. The two stared back at her.

"We'll meet her tomorrow at 0900 hours at my office ok" said Lady Une.

Across from Town, in a spacious apartment.

Dorothy sat at a vanity table. She stared at her reflection from the mirror.

A pale blonde woman stared back at her.

Memories awashed her mind.

'You're going to be fine' said her dying friend.'

'Remeber you must survive training. I don't want to be disappointed in you know' she coughed up more blood.

A tear drop from Dorothy's procelin skin.

'Hey, don't cry for me. Just remember me Dee' said the dying girl.

Dorothy shook her head from the memories.

She glanced at the mirror again. Remembering her mission three years ago.

To locate the 04 Gundam Pilot. It was only a case. But as hard as she tried the blonde arabian won't get out of her mind.

She shrugged at her overflowing memories as she tried to focus on her task ahead.

She looked at the long blonde hair. She had it cut to below her shoulders.

Dorothy sighed at her reflection. She donned on a black hair wig.

Now she had hair below her back.

She donned on glasses. Giving her an owlish look.

She put on some 'putty' to alter her face slightly. Giving her a slightly longer chin. Her cheekbones were fuller.

She pursed her lips, making them thinner somehow.

Last but not least. Her clothes. They were all black as it was suitable for the task at hand.

Her apearance altered to a different person, as the mirror showed her.

"Ready or not. Dorothy Edwards here I come." muttered Dorothy under her breath.

As she got ready to leave her apartment for the Preventers headquarters.

_______________________________________________________________________


At Lady Une's office next morning.

"This Onna better be good" muttered Wufei under his breath.

All the woman in the office glared at him.

The gundam pilots also brought their partners to meet this woman who were suppose to be in Relena's life for a while.

Catherine, Hilde, Midii, Relena, Iria (one of Quarte's sister) and Sally were in Lady Une's office besides the pilots and Lady Une herself

"She's late being a professional" said Heero.

"Your watch is five minutes fast Mr Yuy" said a voice behind Heero.

He turned around. Not even noticing her there.

All the males in the room gaped at the woman standing there in the doorway. While their partners and siblings glared at the gundam pilots.

She was beautiful. Yet the air around her told everyone. That you can watch but you can't touch.

Pale blue eyes looked around the room and located Lady Une.

"Dorothy Edwards at your service" said Dorothy as she moved forward to meet Lady Une whom she hasn't seen for three years.

"How do we know you are the one" said Trowa.

"Want a demonstration Mr Barton" said Dorothy her tone still hasn't changed. Still cold and emotionless.

"Not here" said a smiling Lady Une.

Relena stepped forward. Breaking the hold Dorothy had on the Gundam pilots.

"Nice to meet you Dorothy I'm Relena Peacecraft Yuy, but you can just call me Relena" said Relena smiling at her as she held out her hand.

Dorothy took it and shook on it.

"It would be an honor to work with you, my lady" murmmed Dorothy.

"My Lady?" choked a Duo.

Dorothy and Relena gave Duo a glare that rivaled Heero's death glare.

"Don't try to mess with me, Duo Maxwell. Gundam Pilot of 02, the deathsythe." stated Dorothy.

"Ok" said Lady Une warmly. "Since everyone here wants to know whether you really are Dorothy Edwards why don't we go to the training room for a demonstration?"

Dorothy nodded as the rest of the others did.

At the training room

All the woman were curious towards this Dorothy Edwards. They were sitting down on the sides watching what was going to take place.

"I can't wait" said a gleeful Hilde to Iria.

"Why?" asked a curious Iria including Catherine and Midii.

"Because I have a bet with Hilde and Sally here that Dorothy Edwards would be able to beat the pants off all the guys here in this room" smirked Relena.

"She can't be that good to even beat your husband" said Sally amused.

Catherine only gaped at Relena, Hilde and Sally.

"You guys had a bet against your husbands and partners" whispered Catherine

"Yup" from Hilde including a smirk from Sally and Relena was her only answer.

"Count me in" said Catherine evilly

"Who's going to go first" interrupted a cold, emotionless voice.

The girls only giggled as Wufei went towards Dorothy.

Duo and Heero raised their eyebrows at the girls and they only giggled harder.

"Shush" whispered Midii. "There about to start"

"Choose a weapon Onna" said Wufei.

Dorothy only smiled as she took a fan from her out of nowhere.

Wufei smirked as he got his katana.

"Ok" said Lady Une. "No death matches or rematches. At the draw of the blood from the first person wins. I'll be the judge. Begin"

Later onwards the fight the girls can only see a blur.

As Wufei started to move. Dorothy moved so fast that it was almost unnoticed. She flipped high up in the air and went towards Wufei's back. And as he turned. She disappeared to avoid the katana. Then with a flip of her hand, she had Wufei's katana in her hand and her fan was pointing towards Wufei. Wufei tried to make a grab at the katana only to face cold steel against his neck.

"Dorothy wins" stated Lady Une.

Duo whistled, as he saw Wufei's katana being flipped by Dorothy nonlanchly.

"Good fight" was Dorothy's response as she handed back the katana to Wufei.

"Your a worthy opponent" said Wufei

They both bowed towards each other. Then Wufei left for the sidelines.

"Next" said Lady Une.

"I'll go" said Duo.

As Duo went closer to Dorothy he noticed that the fan she was holding was no ordinary fan. It was made of steel.

To be completed
(soon hopefully)
