Trouble Strikes at Home

OUT IN SPACE

the massive battleship orbits colony L-2. Its huge, exterior with its multitudes of weapons arranged in a sort of haphazard way along the front, back, and sides of the ship. The ship looks like swiss cheese from the outside.

INSIDE THE SHIP

on the bridge a group of men and women are either sitting before consoles or exiting. One woman standing in the center fairly close to one of the closest consoles to the front. The woman is JUNAUYA BIN commander of MRS. JAYNE'S space forces. Junauya is a short black haired green eyes female. She's wearing a uniform: the uniform of New Oz. An organization that has come into being only three years after its predicissor was defeated. They are determined to succeed with the first Oz failed.

JUNAUYA: Grr.... We will destroy this peace. Head for Earth.

OFFICER: Aye aye!

The massive ship now makes its way to Earth, slowly but getting there. Its a large ship but its largeness belies its size.

ON EARTH

five children are on their way home from school. The five little girls are walking together, backpacks and school bags slung over shoulders or whatnot. They're wearing dark blue skirts and light gray colored short sleeved blouses. Their school uniforms. Walking the little girls are talking as well.

KARENA YUY: You think out daddys' will be there?

QUSNA WINNER: Maybe. I don't know.

SAYNA MAXWELL: I think so.

SU LON: Same here.

LINAT(nods): Yes. Besides, they always are.

The five girls reach the secret hideout where they're fathers await them by the large gundams. The little girls had entered through a secret trapdoor in the ground. To find this, they have to tap the ground three times where the trapdoor will open of its own. The taps have a particular rhythm to it.

First they go down some stairs, about twenty in all then they stop before another set of stairs. However, at the top of these stairs, the five little girls stop to stare upward. Their eyes wide with awe. In front of their eyes are their fathers' gundams. The sight never ceases to amaze the five.

QUSNA: Wow!

SAYNA: To think that our dads pilot these gundams, is nothing but cool.

Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei approach the five girls from somewhere off to the right of them.

KARENA: Anything wrong daddy?

The five men don't say anything as they stop indicating to their daughters before turning back and heading for the gundams. The five girls look at each other, confused.

SAYNA: What?

QUSNA: Well, lets go find out.

The five little girls follow their fathers to the gundams backpacks and schoolbags placed in the corner the five girls follow after their fathers. Finally, the men stop and taking up their daughters, the five men with the girls enter the gundams.

INSIDE THE GUNDAM--WING ZERO CUSTOM

KARENA: Why are we in here, daddy?

Heero doesn't say anything as he places Karena's hand on the controls. Karena gets the point--she's going to learn how to pilot her father's gundam for the first time in her life. Something she had wanted to do for the longest time.

For the rest of the day the five girls learns how to pilot their fathers' gundams, with much help from their fathers. The five adult pilots recieves word about a New Oz. They leave. This time with their daughters who're still in the gundams with the men. Though the fathers pilot the gundams now.

PREVENTERS BATTLE CRUISER

Relena Peacecraft and her small son, Cranan, having left her shuttle is making their way to the bridge. For the upteenth time, Cranan is curious about seeing the gundam pilots.

CRANAN: Mommy, where are the pilots?

RELENA: They'll be here.

The two enter the bridge where they're saluted by the crew and ushered to a seat close by.

DOWN ON EARTH SOMEWHERE

The woman, Ms. Jayne is in her mansion talking with another, Major Kain.

MS. JAYNE: So the gundam pilots took their daughters with them....

MAJOR KAIN: Yes ma'am.

MS. JAYNE: Okay. Then we will have to strike another way.... Goto Junauya Bin. Have her begin the attack.

MAJOR KAIN: Yes Ma'am!

Major Kain leaves the room as Ms. Jayne moves over to the desk. Her computer screen comes on revealing a shadow.

SHADOW: Jayne, you haven't destroyed the gundam pilots' daughters.

MS. JAYNE: Don't worry sir. They will be.

SHADOW: See to it that you succeed. Or else.

MS. JAYNE: Of course Shadow. I won't fail.

SHADOW: See to it! Or else as I said!

The screen goes dark as Ms. Jayne shutters. She knows what Shadow would do to failures. And she didn't want to end up that way. She had seen others in her position who had failed Shadow and they never survived or lived it down.

THE ELEMENTAL WOMAN KNOWN AS BARA

wearing the uniform of the Preventers on the battle cruiser.

Bara thinks Now to find the gundams. Let them know that their daughters are in danger.

The five gundam pilots are moving along the cooridors of the cruiser when Bara spots them from afar.

"Hello. I need to speak with you. Its of the essence," she began.

The pilots stop and stare at her. They have no idea who she is but it seems to be something really important.

"What is it?" Duo asks.

Bara takes a deep breath knowing what she's going to say will be hard. "Danger surrounds you five."

"What kind of danger?" Quatre asks.

"Thats nothing new," Duo announced.

"This danger is different because it will strike at your daughters," Bara spoke.

This announcement causes a reaction from all five.

"Who would want to harm our daughters?" Wufei speaks in question.

Bara shakes her head, "I do not know. But what I can tell you is that your daughters will indeed bring about keeping Peace."

"Oh?" Heero asks in question.

"Thats all I can say." Bara began. "But, enough of that. Your daughters are indeed in danger."

"And how are our daughters in danger?" Trowa questions Bara. All five stare at Bara waiting her answer.

Bara looks at the five, "The trouble has come. If these people win you and your daughters will be the first to die."

"That won't happen!" Wufei declares. He clenches his fist in anger.

"I know you five will try your best to stop them. But, while you do, attacks will begin on your daughters," Bara explains.

"Then we won't leave them," Quatre said.

Bara shakes her head, "then all's gone." Now Bara sighs before speaking again, "you see, your daughters will be responsible for the Peace remaining in the future."

The five gundam pilots stare at Bara, astonishment written on their faces. Things are quiet for a long time. Then Duo breaks the silence, "are you sure?"

Bara only nods in agreement.

"Then what?" Duo begins.

"You want to know how to protect your daughters, is that right?" Bara finishes.

"How did you know?" Duo asks her.

Bara only smiles again, "Because I know you all. We will meet again."

Bara moves away from the five and disappears around a corner. The five gundam pilots look at each other then down the way where Bara had disappeared.

"Now how...?" Duo spoke.

"I say we bring the girls with us. Keep them where we can protect them," Trowa said.

Quatre turns to Heero but finds him gone. Then looks up in time to see Heero's back, "Hey Heero. Wait up!"

The four move quickly, catching up with Heero who is moving quickly to the hangar.

"Hey Heero, where you going?!" Duo calls out.

Heero stops as the four catch up with him.

"We have to get our daughters. Take care of those who're going to harm them," Heero said quietly.

"That won't work, Heero. Remember what Bara said," Wufei reminds him softly.

"Then lets get the girls and meet with Bara," Trowa says.

WITH THE FIVE GIRLS

"Hey, lets explore this ship!?" Sayna explains in question.

Linat looks over at Sayna, doubtfully, "I don't think we should."

"Aw come on, Linat. Don't be a chicken," Sayna taunts, a smile on her lips as she stares at her friend.

Linat stiffens slightly, "fine. Let's go!"

OUT IN SPACE

Junauya, standing on the bridge of her battle cruiser is reviewing in her mind what happened.

FLASHBACK TWO DAYS AGO

Five little girls, the gundam pilots daughters' are walking home from school. It's a beautiful day and the Sun's out, high in the sky. Junauya had hired a few hitmen to kill the five girls. They are following them, waiting for the right moment. Junauya is seating in the passenger seat of a nondescript black car. A strange man is with her and they're watching the little girls as they're heading home.

JUNAUYA(pointing at the five): Thats them. Your targets!

MAN(nods): It will be done.

JUNAUYA: Thats what I paid you for! Now go to it!

MAN: Of course.

Somewhere the Man gets out of the car to follow the five girls. Junauya had left the area, about a block or so away, to await the Man.

Junauya *He better do this right!*

WITH THE FIVE GIRLS

They still don't realize that they're being followed. The five girls are talking among themselves. The conversation is about their fathers' gundams and their learning how to use them.

SAYNA: It was so cool! Being in dad's Deadscythe. I had no idea.

QUASNA: Yes. Sandrock is great!

SU LON: Nataku was.... an interesting experience.

LINAT: And HeavyArms....(sighs) That's one way of using your muscles. (laughs)

The four look over at Karena, who's been silent during all this.

SAYNA: Hey Karena! Why, so quiet?

KARENA(blinks once and looks at them): Huh? What?

QUASNA: What did you think about learning how to pilot your father's gundam?

SAYNA: Yeah! Tell all.

KARENA (thinking back): It was.... Interesting.

LINAT: Really?

Karena only nods. The five girls are silent as they're nearing their home.

WITH THE MAN FOLLOWING THE FIVE GIRLS

He notes that they're getting closer and closer to home.

MAN* They won't get away from me, now.*

He looks around but the five girls have disappeared.

Man "They're gone!"

He begins his search but the five girls have already entered their homes.

END FLASHBACK---BACK WITH JUNAUYA

Junauya's angry, "Failures! Incompetents."

Crew Member, "Ma'am, the Preventers battleship ahead.

"What?! HOw can that be!" Junauya exclaims. "Surely they don't know we're here!"

"Commander, I've been picking up signals. The gundam pilots are aboard."

Junauya's brow drops in anger, "Send out the Tauros and the Libra suits!"

Red lights and klaxtons sound as everything becomes a bit chaotic while crew members, engineers, and pilots are getting ready. Things become a bit more chaotic as the Tauros and Libra suits are readied for battle. A battle they hope to win.

ON THE BRIDGE OF PREVENTERS BATTLE CRUISER

Princess Relena and her son, Cranan are on the bridge. Things have been pretty much routine for a while.

"Mother?" Cranan asks looking at his mother.

Princess Relena, standing towards the front, looks at her son, "Yes Cranan?" she asks.

Before Cranan can say anything more, one of the female Preventers spoke, "we're under attack!"

Cranan nods as Princess Relena turns to look at the Preventer who spoke.

"What? How?" Princess Relena asks.

"There are Tauros and Libra mobile suits coming toward us," the Preventer said.

THE FIVE LITTLE GIRLS

playing among the gundams, happily. A voice speaks from within their minds, *come on. Let's fight those forces coming.*

The girls stop their play in shock. For they had recognized those voices. It was the same voices that had come to them sometime ago. The five girls look at each other.

"What was that?" SuLon asks. Karena is staring up at her father's gundam, wing zero custom.

"I--I think its the gundams," she says.

Now, they al stare up at the gundams. The voice comes to their minds again, *we must fight. Come on.*

The five girls look at each other, large sweatdrops at the back of their heads.

"What do you think? Should we?" Linat asks first.

They nod, moving over toward the gundams. The five gundams open and the girls get aboard.

"Let's go!" Karena said, from within the wing zero custom as she's strapped in.

"Yeah!" Sayna exclaims.

The five gundams leave the battle cruiser for the denseness of space.

IN SPACE

"This is so cool!" Sayna exclaims from within Deathscythe.

"Yeah," Quasna speaks. She's in SandRock.

Each of the gundams had been built so that they were now able to fight from space which is a good thing now. Before the others can say any more, the Tauros' and Libras appear and attack. At first, the little girls are startled until they begin fighting back.

THE FIVE GUNDAMS FIGHT

Tauros' and Libras open fire on the five gundams, thinking they are the five pilots, who in turn fight back. Sand Rock lets loose with its missiles striking many Tauros and sending them into oblivion.

"Take that!" Quasna yells.

With Deathscythe, Sayna is surrounded by Libras. She smiles remembering her father, Duo. A Libra gets behind her, striking Deathscythe in the back. Sayna turns Deathscythe to see the Libra mobile suit.

"Why---you---?!" she yells as Deathscythe activates its scythe and slices through the Libra suit.

Su Lon on the other hand is fighting viciously but with calculated efficiently. She strikes causing more explosives--at the heart. They explode.

"Stay away from here," Su Lon said in anger.

Linat in HeavyArms is firing at a Tauros.

"You shouldn't be attacking. Whats your malfunction," she mutters.

The Tauros' fires again as HeavyArms dodges and fires back. Numerous bullets enter the Tauros. It explodes.

Karena, in the wing zero custom doesn't say anything. She just wades in among a group of Tauros' and Libras and start fighting. Her tactics seem to rival that of even her father Heero. They seem to be centered mainly on exploding as many as possible in as fast a manner as possible.

ON THE PREVENTERS BATTLE CRUISER

Bara happens to look out in to space to see the five gundams fighting. At first, she thinks they're the five pilots but on second look, her mouth drops as she realizes its the five girls. In their first battle nonetheless.

"Yes! It begins now," Bara mutters.

OUT IN SPACE

The five gundams continue to battle. Then something changes as the enemy fled the area real quick.

"Hey! Where'd they go?" Sayna exclaims, the gundam floating there as the enemy flees from her and the others.

"Don't know. But let's go back," Quasna answers.

The five gundams return to the battle cruiser, where the girls' fathers' await their return in the hangar.

"Why did you do that? YOu know its too dangerous," Duo said. The five girls look down at their feet, contrite.

"It was very brave of you, if a trifle foolhardy," Heero spoke up.

"Then, may we fight?" Karena asks. The other four looks up nodding vigorously.

The five adults look to each other before Wufei spoke.

"Yes. Only be careful."

The five girls cheer in happiness as they leave the hangar waiting for the next attack.

The End

Note: Here ends Chapter 2 in this new saga of Gundam Wing. Chapter Three coming up next. Would like some feedback on the story so far. Thanks
