I don’t own Gundam Wing. I don’t own DBZ either. I don’t own anything from Escaflowne, Pizza Hut, or whatever else you might think I might own.

 

 

Chapter seven:  Gunsdams or Damsguns?

 

Zeches Merquise gazed out the open window. He was watching some birds building a nest in it.

Family. He thought, All they do is love you and then leave you. His memory flashed back to that terrible night he had lost his sister forever.

 

“You idiot! You can’t handle it!”

 

“I’ll be fine.” Said his sister.

 

“You’ll die!”

 

“I must try.” She replied.

 

He felt that familiar pain reach into his heart again. Why did he always allow it back?

 

“Mr. Zeches, there is someone hear to see you.” His secretary told him through the intercom.

 

“I’m busy. Tell them I will see them later” said an annoyed Zeches.

“Umm…sir, I recommend strongly that you see her.” His secretary announced.

“Fine” Zeches grumbled. Who’d the hell could be so important, that his own secretary recommended he see?

 

“Hello, Zeches. It’s been awhile.” The young woman who just walked in said.

“Your dead…” Responded Zeches.

 

“Hardly. I have been hiding with the other ‘dead’ girls so that our children could grow up in peace” Relena said.

 

Zeches still didn’t dare to believe. He couldn’t hope too.

 

“I want proof” he said with an unreadable expression on his face.

 

“I have no proof, and even if I did brother why should I have to show you. I came here for help, not to regain my identity!” she said profoundly.

 

“It really is you, isn’t it Relena?” Zeches asked. “No one else talks so defiantly to me. Short of crying out Heero’s name that was all the proof I needed.” He got off his chair to give his formerly dead sister a hug.

 

“It’s nice to see you again Zeches, but it’s more than that that brought me back. Those scientists stole my children, and I need help to find them. They have their fathers natural talent, but I nerver put them in the spot for dealing with war and corruption.” She sobbed back her tear. “Zeches, they use their skills for play, nothing else. They don’t know how to use them in any other way. If they get into a dangerous situation they will not know how to react! The other children, too. Especially Mingh Loh, she’d be the first to go!”

 

Relena’s stance started to falter and she started to cry in his arms. “Zeches! Please help me! I lost my entire family, including Heero Yuy!” she cried. “I can’t lose my precious children Zeches!”

 

“It’s okay, Relena.” Zeches commented. “I will find your children no matter what it takes. I won’t let you down.”

 

“…Thank You.” she replied.

 

“So this is the time-machine thingy” Duo declared. “Shotty workmanship. What happened to it?”

 

“How should we know?” replied Dominic. “We didn’t even know it was a time machine.”

 

“Well, whoever invented it didn’t bother putting anything nice on it.” Added Duo.

 

“It’s incognito.” Replied Heero. “Dr. J must have created it.”

 

“Dr J?” asked Dominic. “That old man who bothers mom all the time?”

 

“You know Dr. J?” asked Heero.

 

“Not personally.” Replied Dominic. “Mom always tell him to stay the hell away from us for some reason.”

 

“Okay. Their story checks out, man.” Said Duo. “This car looks just like a car, but it’s got some ‘Time-machiney’ elements in it. By the way,” he asked no one in particular. “Why’d

 

 

Doctor J create a time machine?”

 

“He must have wanted to change the past,” Quatre replied. “…Didn’t you say the colonies blew up in A.C. 197?” he asked Dominic.

 

“Yeah.” Dominic replied back.

 

“How exactly?” asked Duo. “Come on, tell us so we can change our future.”

 

“Well,” Dominic said, “Mom rarely talked about colonies. I think she said one time while I was eavesdropping though, that they had been destroyed by an underground rebel group known as… known as… Sorry, I forgot.”

 

“This is outrageous!” remarked Wufei. “The colonies we fought so hard to protect, and the peace we risked our lives for will be demolished within a month?!”

 

“Oh, just the colonies. It’s pretty peaceful. There’s some high guy called Merquise that runs the whole operation where I am from.” Said Michael.

 

“Hmm. Zeches.” Replied Heero dryly.

 

“Yeah, that’s the dude’s name! Hey? How d’ya know his name?” asked Michael. Heero didn’t comment.

 

“…” A painful silence fell between the men and the children. Suddenly, an unlikely voice spoke. “What is that machine in there?” Young Heero pointed towards the hangar.

 

“Which one?” asked Quatre.

 

“The one with the big-ass gun I bet.” Said Michael.

 

“That’s Wing Zero.” Remarked Heero.

 

“Wow! You pilot that thing!” Michael replied. “That’s so cool! Our father’s were supposed to have been some type of super-pilots too!”

 

“How do you know that?” asked Mingh Loh.

 

“I eavesdropped on mom’s conversation last week.” Replied Michael. “They flew some machines my mom kept referring to as Damguns or Gunsdams…or something like that. Hey! It’s 12:00 and we still haven’t eaten! Can we please eat now? Can we huh? Please?!”

 

Mingh Loh turned toward Michael. “You have no watch you  pathetic excuse for a human being, so how do you know it’s 12:00?”

 

Michael replied “My stomach says it’s time to eat, and it’s too early to be 2:00, so it has to be 12:00.”

 

Michael looked back at the pilots. They seemed to be under some type of trance. They just kept staring at the kids. They started to closely examine the children’s features.

 

“Hey? Pilot dudes, are you okay? Can we eat now, or not?” Michael repeated.

 

Duo finally answered. “Go back to the hangar, we’ll fix something when you get back.”

 

So the kids took off towards the hangar. The pilots stood with an uncomfortable silence between them. Then Quatre uttered the few words the other pilots had been thinking. “Are we their dads?”

 

Soon Wufei spoke up. “Puh-lease! It couldn’t be. Think about it. They were born in 198, so they would have to be, or soon have to be in their mother’s stomachs! Besides, I’ve never heard of the name Mae Linh Schin. So, tell me, how could we all happen to get these Onnas pregnant! We have never even dated them!”

 

“That’s true.” Heero admitted.

 

“I’ve only met a couple of those women; Relena and Dorothy. I’m not interested in Relena though, and the only time I met Dorothy she stabbed me.” Said Quatre reminiscing.

 

“Right! Besides, I’m only friends with Hilde ya know!” said Duo.

 

“Catherine’s like a sister. I’m like a brother. There is nothing in between.” Said Trowa.

 

“See!” said Wufei, “That only strengthens my point!”

 

“Okay then.” Said Quatre, “I think the best way to solve this dilemma is to talk with ou- I mean – the girls’ future kids.”
