Part 3:  The Ruins

	"Heero!  Where are you going?  What's this about a "guy?"  You're going to be 
fighting again, aren't you?  Answer me!!!"  Relena was shouting at the top of her lungs, 
but it was doing her no good, as Heero was too busy piloting the shuttle to answer.  
Instead, he pointed to the VCD and said, "Set it to play back a television broadcast from 
five minutes ago."  As Relena watched the recording, her eyes went wide with horror.  "No!  
You can't go, Heero!  What if something happens to you?  You could die!"  At this she burst 
into tears, and sobbed for the rest of the flight.
	When they arrived at the hangar where the gundams were being kept, they were 
greeted, surprisingly enough, by Duo.  "Why does Trowa get to go and not me?  I'm a better 
pilot than he is," Duo fumed.  Heero, tired of being shouted at, explained calmly:  "I'm 
bringing Trowa because I'm not sure what kind of opposition we'll be facing.  Because of 
Heavyarms' ranged weaponry, Trowa can provide cover fire while I engage the enemy at close 
range.  If you came, we'd only have close range strength.  If this enemy is piloting a 
vehicle with a lot of firepower, we wouldn't stand a chance."
	"I still think I'd be more help than Trowa," Duo mumbled under his breath, "but if 
that's the way you want to do things, I guess there's no stopping you."  Presently, Trowa 
came out of the hangar and explained that the preparations were complete.  Heero started to 
walk towards the hangar doors when Relena shouted from behind him, "Don't do anything 
stupid, Heero, and come back alive!"
	Without any further conversation, the two pilots entered the hangar, climbed aboard 
their gundams, made their final checks, and blasted off aboard the carrier programmed to 
take the mobile suits to what was left of colony 06E3.
	"What do you think this guy wants, anyway?" asked Trowa after they had left the 
atmosphere.
	Heero shrugged, "I have no idea, but what's puzzling me is why he'd stage the fight 
in the wreckage of the colony Quatre destroyed."
	"What if it's a trap?"
	"Trowa, I have no doubt in my mind that it's a trap, but there's really nothing we 
can do about it, is there?"
