Heero floated up towards a door near the sick bay. The others follow. Minako spins around in the air. “Weee!!” says Minako as she summer saults. “Minako, get serious,” says Trowa quietly. “Wow! The quiet one actually talks!” says Minako as she turns right side up. Trowa stared at her. “Don’t mind her, Trowa-kun,” says Makoto with a sweatdrop. Heero opens the door and walks in. The senshi and pilots follow. Heero points to a room. “This is your room Rei,” says Heero. Rei walks to the door and opens it. “Ok, thanks,” says Rei. Heero pointed to a room across from hers. “Minako, this is your room,” says Heero blutly. “With Duo-chan!?” asks Minako with bright eyes. “No, us pilots sleep in different chambers then you trainees,” smirks Wufei. “But I know you’re dying to be in my room, Wu-chan,” giggles Rei. “Onna!” says Wufei as he blushed. The others snicker.
Heero lifted his finger towards another room down the hall. “This is your room, Makoto,” says Heero. Makoto walked into the room and looked around. “Than.. hey!?” Makoto said as she was about to thank them, but she finds they are already down the hall. Heero faces the outer senshi. “These 4 rooms are for you four, pick them as you please,” says Heero. The outers nod. “I will take this one and Michiru you take that one..” ordered Haruka. The pilots walk off. “Should I go check on Quatre?” asks Duo. “He will be fine,” says Trowa.
In the docking bay… “Oh man, Minako is something else isn’t she,” says Duo in a love sick voice. “She is completly useless, we should have left her on earth,” sneers Wufei. Duo peerked up. “She’s not useless, its your Rei babe whos useless!” growls Duo. “What did you say about Rei?” says Wufei lowly. Trowa cut in. “Mako-chan is better then Rei and Minako,” says Trowa. Wufei and Duo stare at Trowa for a moment. “You want part of this too huh!?” says Duo as he pushes Trowa and kicks Wufei. A bullet wizzed by Duo’s head. “Opps,” says Duo. “Stop it, don’t start acting like the senshi,” says Heero with a smirk as he blew the smoke from his gun. “Well, Heero, at lest we each got a senshi, unlike you,” says Duo. Heero gave him a death glare. “Well, I am not pig headed enough to need a senshi,” says Heero back in response. “Ohhh nice defence,” says Duo with a saracastic clap. Wufei and Trowa merely watch. “Except I am not pig headed, I am just human!” says Duo, taunting Heero. Heero turned and walked off. “You pissed him off,” says Wufei. “I can see that,” says Duo as he crossed his arms. Trowa yawns. “I agree with you Trowa, let’s all head to bed,” says Duo as he floats off to the pilot chambers. Wufei and Trowa follow.
Heero sat upon a oil barrel. He stared at his gun. “Duo… what a cad,” says Heero to himself. He stared at the senshi’s chambers out of the corner of his eye. “I just don’t want one of those stupid girls… that’s all,” says Heero again to himself. He stopped for a moment then looked down at his hands. “Or.. maybe I do…” thought Heero again as he sighed and got up.
The morning hours approached, Quatre was asleep in the waiting room. “Hey, Quatre, wake up!” says Duo as he shakes Quatre. Quatre opened his eyes and looked up at Duo. “Is.. Ami-chan out yet?” asks Quatre. Duo shakes his head. “Come on man, you need to go to your room and sleep,” says Duo. “No.. I am not leaving till I know Ami is alright,” says Quatre. Duo sighs. “Ok man but becareful bout your own health,” says Duo. “I will, thank you Duo,” says Quatre. Duo walked out of the sick bay.
Duo leaned on a rail on the balcony. The mechanics worked away on fixing the gundams. A hand touched him on the shoulder. Duo spun around to find Setsuna. “Oh hey Sets,” says Duo with a idiotic grin. “Hello, Duo, I need to ask you something,” said Setsuna with her usual mysteriousness. “What is it?” asks Duo. Setsuna holds up a bundle of dark red roses. “Did you leave these at my door?” asks Setsuna. Duo blinked in confusion. “No,” says Duo. “Humm, who do you think did?” asks Setsuna. “How should I know?” says Duo with a shrug. “Well thank you anyways,” says Setsuna as she walks off.
Minako yawned as she awoke. She sat up and streached. “Time to get up,” she thought to herself. She got dressed slowly. She brushed out her hair. Minako then opened the door. She was about to walk when she trips. “Ahhh!!” yelped Minako as she hits the floor. “What the!? Huh! Oh how pretty!” squeals Minako as she picks up a bundle of orange roses that had tripped her. She smelled one of them. The fragrance was wonderful. Minako jumps up. “Duo-chan is so thoughtful!” says Minako to herself. She walks out of the hall of chambers and onto the balcony near the sick bay. “Duo-chan! Thank you for the roses!” says Minako. “What roses?” asks Duo as he looks her way. “These, silly!” says Minako as she shows him the bundle. Duo’s eyes widened. “But… I didn’t give them to you,” says Duo. “Huh!? Then who did!?” asks Minako. “That is what I would like to know,” asks Hotaru as she walks up to them. A bundle of violet roses are in her hand. “You have flowers too Hotaru!?” asks Minako. “Yes and so do I,” says Haruka with a smirk as she walks up to them with a bundle of yellow roses. “What the heck is up with all the roses!?” asks Duo. “We don’t know,” says Haruka, Hotaru and Minako in unison.
The doctor approached Quatre. “Mr. Winner, we have finished working on Mizuno Ami,” says the doctor. Quatre looked up at them. “May I see her!?” asks Quatre as he grabbed the doctor by the shirt collar. The doctor stared at Quatre. “Of corse,” he says as he points to the back rooms. Quatre drops the doctor and runs to the rooms. He peeks into each room. “Ami-chan!” he says finally after looking in several rooms. He rushes to her bed side. Ami’s pale body laid there. Many of her limbs were bandaged. A blood transfusion attached to her arm. Quatre grasped her hand in his. “Oh Ami-chan,” says Quatre. The doctor came in. “She is going to be fine, she just needs some rest,” says the doctor. Quatre looked at the doctor. “Thank you so much!” says Quatre with a smile. “For now would you leave Mizuno-san alone for a while, check back here in an hour or so,” says the doctor. “Alright I will!” says Quatre as he got up and walked out.
Quatre walked out onto the balcony. “Hey Quatre, is Ami better?” asks Duo. “Yes, I am so happy she is going to be alright,” says Quatre with a sigh of relief. Duo leaned over more on the rail. Rei walked by with a bundle of red roses. “Have either of you seen Wufei this morning?” asks Rei as she smelled one of the roses. “He should be out by Nataku,” says Duo with a smirk. “Alright, thank you Duo,” says Rei as she jumps down to the docking bay. Makato walked out of the senshi chambers hallway with a bundle of pink roses. “Have either of you seen…” starts Makoto as she smelled one of the roses. “Trowa? I think hes down with his Heavyarms,” says Duo. Makoto blinked in semi amazement. “Umm thanks Duo,” says Makoto as she jumps down to the docking bay. “Why do all the senshi have flowers this morning?” asks Quatre. “I am not sure, even the outers have flowers and they haven’t even appealed to any of us,” says Duo. “Humm how odd,” says Quare. “Oh Quatre-kun!” says Michiru in a cheery voice. Quatre looked to find MIchiru running up to them, aqua roses in hand. “How is Ami?” asks Michiru. “She is better, she is resting for now,” says Quatre. “By the way, thank you for the roses, Quatre-kun,” says Michiru with a flirtacious hint. Quatre stared at her. “But I didn’t give them to you,” says Quatre. Haruka watched from a distance. “Then who did?” asks Michiru. Quatre shrugs. “Beats me, all the senshi seem to have roses this morning,” says Quatre. Duo nods in agreence. Michiru smiled. “I think I know who,” she says as she walks off.
Rei slinkily walks up to Wufei who was working on his Nataku. “Oh Wufei..” says Rei with a smile. Wufei looks up at her. “What is it onna?” asks Wufei with annoyance. “I just wanted to thank you for the roses,” she said. “What roses?” asks Wufei. “Why these! Don’t you remember you dropped them at my door step!” says Rei. Wufei shook his head. “I did no such thing,” he says. Rei blinked in major confusion. “But if you didn’t then who did?” asks Rei. “That’s my question,”says Makoto as she walks up to them, Trowa trailing. “You have roses too Makoto?” asks Rei. “Yes and they aren’t from Trowa so who could they be from?” asks Makoto. Trowa bent down to Wufei. “I think someone is out to steal the senshi from us,” whispers Trowa. Wufei nods. Makoto and Rei walk off while pondering.
Minako sat in a corner of the docking bay behind some barrels. She looked deep in thought. “Man if Duo didn’t give me these roses then who did?” thought Minako to herself. “Hey Minako-chan!” says Makoto and Rei as the walk up to her. “Ah konichiwa Rei-chan, Mako-chan!” says Minako with her usual cheeryness. They look to see Minako’s orange roses. “Well it looks like all of us have roses,” says Makoto. “Yes, even Haruka-san!” says Minako with a laugh. The others laugh as well. “But who could have given them to us?” asks Rei. “Thats what we all want to know,” sighs Makoto.
Duo and Quatre leaned silently on the rail. “Do you know if anyone left Ami flowers?” asks Quatre. “Yeah, they said there were some blue roses outside her non occupied room,” says Duo. Quatre grimaced. Haruka swiftly came up to Quatre and grabbed him by the collar.. “Listen here, blondie, don’t you dare come near Michiru or else you are making a death wish,” growls Haruka. Quatre stared at her in awe. “I wasn’t doing anything!” says Quatre. Haruka let him down. “Just forewarning, pansey,” says Haruka as she stalked off. “Man you and Haruka, you sure don’t get along well,” says Duo. “I can see that,” says Quatre as he reajusted his collar.
Suddenly, the intruder alarm went off. “What is it!?” asks Minako as the loud bleeping came on. “Its the alarm, get in your gundams!” yells Duo as he hops down from the railing, Quatre following. Minako, Rei and Makoto all run to their gundams. The outer senshi take off since they were in their gundams first. Heero, Wufei and Trowa plow into their cockpits and blast off. “Let’s kick some butt!” says Minako as Aiwhip leaves the dock. “Hahahaha..hahaha..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” laughs a evil voice out in the darkness of space. “What is that?!” says Rei with dismay. Several beings, they looked like moblie suits, came flying over the horizon. Heero analzed the beings. “I haven’t seen moblie suits like this before,” says Heero to himself. “Grr they won’t hurt Usagi-chan,” growls Haruka to herself as Tencom flies forward. “Haruka wait we need to make an attack plan first!” says Quatre. Tencom flew on ahead. It started shooting its gun at the beings. The beings merely dodged in a split second. Haruka blinked. “Geez they are fast!” says Haruka. One being comes up behind her and grabs her by the head. “Urrrggg!!!” grunts Haruka as she tries to pry Tencom free. Kaisplitter threw the being off of Tencom. “Next time look before you leap,” says Michiru. Aiwhip snapped its power whip towards one of the beings. It grabbed hold and spun her around. “Ahhh!!” cries Minako. The being sents Aiwhip flying into Deahtscythe. “Thanks for catching me Duo,” says Minako. “Don’t mention it,” says Duo as he flew off towards the enemy. Meiscream swiftly came up behind one of the beings. With her power staff she stabbed the being. “Way to go Setsuna!” says Minako happily. Meiscream pushes the being off her staff. “No…” says Rei. “What is it Rei-chan?” asks Hotaru. “Lo..look!” says Rei. Hotaru looked towards the wounded being as her eyes widdened in dismay. The being healed its self and rushed towards Wing Zero. “Heero! Watch out!” says Minako as Wing Zero caught the enemy. Sandrock rushed at a enemy with his blades raised.
Wing Zero tosses the being off and opens fire with its gun. Sandrock slashes through one of the enemies. “Did he..?” started Makoto as Kikufu attacked one of the beings. The sliced being’s two parts healed themselves and became two seperate beings. “Ahhh!!!” yelps Rei. “Shimatta! What can we do?! These things wont die!” growls Wufei as two beings came flying towards Shenlong. “Uh oh, check a look over there,” says Haruka. More beings come flying over the horizon. “Heero come on your the battle master help us here!” says Duo. Heero didn’t answer. “Heero!” says Minako. Four beings ram into Sandrock. “Ugh!” says Quatre as he’s tossed around in the cockpit. One of the beings pulled out what looks like a thermal axe. It pulls it back and aims right for Sandrock. “Quatre watch out!” says Michiru. Before the axe is about to hit, Mizucannon flies inbetween the being and Sandrock. She uses her water cannons and blasts the being away. “Ami-chan! What are you doing you can’t fight right now!” says Quatre. “I am fine now Quatre, besides if I wasn’t out here you would be sliced Sandrock,” jokes Ami. “Hey look!” says Setsuna as she points to the being Ami shot with water. “It’s decentigrating!” says Duo. “Ami-chan your a genius!” says Makoto. Ami blushed. “Keep going Ami! Your the only one who can stop them!” says Rei. “Hai,” says Ami as she flies at the beings and begins blasting them all with her water cannons. The enemies were dropping like flies. “Horray Ami-chan!!” says Rei with glee. Ami smiles happily.
“Pittiful fighters, you think you have beaten us? HAHAHAHA!! You are so wrong!” cackled the voice deep in space. “Show yourself coward!” yells Wufei. “Wufei I think you made it mad!” yelps Minako as she points to a dark figure forming on the horizon. “Its huge!” gasps Hotaru. “It’s giantic!” says Makoto. “Its huge and giantic!” says Minako. Others sweatdrop. “Hahahaha…hahahaha… BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!” laughs the tremendous figure ahead of them. “I have a bad feeling about this,” says Trowa. “Foolish mortals, I will rule over this universe! Bow before me!!” laughs the figure as he shoots out energy blasts. “Ahhhhhh!!!” Yelped Minako. The energy blasts hit Tencom and Wing Zero. Haruka and Heero were jolted in their cockpits. “Urrghh that guy is gunna pay,” hissed Haruka under her breath. The being kept laughing. “I will try to move on him!” said Duo as he reved up his Deathscythe and zoomed in towards the being. “No Duo wait!” yelled Ami. Deathscythe smacked right into a invisable barrier. “Ugh, what the hell!? So unfair man!” yells Duo at the being. “That thing has an invisable force sheild. I am not sure how we can penetrait it!” says Ami as she checks out her scanner readings.
“How can we beat that… that… that… err thing!!!??” says Rei with annoyance. “We can’t even get close to it,” mutters Duo. The figure shot out another energy blast right towards Meiscream. “Watch out!” yells Hotaru. Wing Zero flies right inbetween the blast and Meiscream, taking the hit. “Did Heero just do what I think he did?” asks Minako with wide eyes. Wing Zero’s exterior looks chared and burned. “Heero, you ok man?” asks Duo. There comes no response. “Heero?!” asks Quatre. Inside of Heero’s cockpit, Heero is covered in blood. He looks up at his monitors. “Heero answer us!” screams Makoto. Setsuna stares dumbfounded at Wing Zero infront of her. She catches her senses. “I am breaking that shield,” says Setsuna softly. Meiscream goes flying towards the invisable shield. “Setsuna!! Have you lost your mind!?” shrieks Minako. Meiscream flies head first into the invisable barrier. The lightning flashes briliantly as Meiscream tries to push through it. “Setsuna stop it! You might die!” says Ami. “So what if I die? I will have broken the shield, that is all that matters…” says Setsuna as she continues pushing it. The senshi gasp. “She would actually sacrifice herself?” asks Wufei with amazement. Kaisplitter rushes up towards Meiscream. “Michiru! Don’t!” yells Quatre. “We are all in this together, we have to help!” says Michiru as Kaisplitter flies into the shield. Tencom and Darktomoe follow Kaisplitter’s example. “We’ll help too!” says Makoto as she flies towards them. “No! Stay back, when the shield is broken, all of you left must destroy the evil,” says Haruka. “You… you mean…” says Ami with saddness. “Your useless tactics will not work!” laughs the being as he shots more energy blasts at the moblie suits.
Kaisplitter, Tencom, Meiscream, and Darktomoe continue pushing into the shield, bits and pieces of their gundams falling as the powerful shield damages them. “I can’t stand this we have to help some how!” growls Makoto. The being starts trying to blast the outers off of the shield. Aiwhip rushes over, reflecting the attacks away from the outer’s gundams. “Minako! That’s perfect!” says Duo suddenly. “Nani?” asks Minako with a confused look. “Everyone, help defend the outers from the attacks!” shouts Rei as she makes Hithrower rushes to help. The others follow after her. They manage to reflect off the attacks. “Just a little… bit.. further,” groans Hotaru as they continue to take in the damage of pushing into the shield. Suddenly, it happens. Their comes a huge light. “Ahh! I can’t see!” says Ami as she covers her eyes. The light blinds them all. “No it can’t be!” cries the figure. The energy shield wavers back and forth. “Move back!” shouts Haruka to the inners and gundam pilots. “Nani? What do you mean?” asks Makoto. “Just do it!” shouts Michiru. The inners and gundam pilots do as they are told. Right after they move, the remains of the shield explode about the outers. “Ahhhhhhhhh!!” shriek the outers, their bodies burning from the explosion. Their gundams decentigrate. “Uranus!” shouts Makoto. “Neptune!” shouts Ami. “Pluto!” shouts Rei. “Saturn!” cries Minako. As the remaints of the explosion vanish, the senshi left stare in saddness, seeing there is no trace of the outers or their gundams. “Their…” starts Quatre. “Gone…” finishes Trowa.
