Disclaimers: I don't own Gundam Wing, Bandai, Sunrise, Sotsu Agency own them. Don't even BOTHER suing me, I have no money! notes: This is a definitely AU fic, since Treize is alive in this. There is some not-so-good language in this, but I felt that it fit in here.

A Leader Returns

-Part 4-

written by: Treize fangirl

"What?"

The Treize Faction leader yelled at his men. "It's true. The security cameras at the guardposts were analyzed, and it was definitely His Excellency."

"Form an honor guard immediately."

"Yes, sir!"

The leader of the Treize Faction went out to meet the dashing Treize Kushrenada.

"Welcome, Your Excellency." He bowed so deeply that he almost fell.

"I hear that you have imprisoned Lady Une. Bring her out."

Treize tried to keep his anger in check.

"At once, your Excellency."

Wu Fei and Sally were planting explosives in the base. They heard footsteps approaching, and hid in the shadows. Lady Une was being taken outside by two armed guards. Wu Fei wanted to knock them out and free Une right now, but Sally held them back. When the men had passed, Wu Fei glared at Sally.

"ONNA! I could have beaten them!"

"Wu Fei, remember the plan. Mr. Kushrenada was going to free Lady Une, we are supposed to blow up the base. Now let's finish planting the bombs and get out of here!"

Wu Fei was about to argue some more, but he thought better of it. He helped plant the last of the bombs, and the two Preventers left the compound while Treize was still creating a diversion.

Lady Une was confused. She was supposed to be executed tomorrow, so why were they bringing her outside? Her eyes were blinded by the harsh sunlight. When her sight returned, she thought that she was dreaming. Mr. Treize was standing in front of her! <It can't be Mr. Treize! I saw him die when the Tallgeese exploded! What is happening?> When Treize saw Lady Une, his heart was saddened and enraged. <How DARE they treat my Lady like this!>

He could tell that she had been beaten. Her face and body were covered with bruises. The right side of her face was black, blue, and swollen from where it had hit the wall. She was limping, and she looked defeated. It took all of Treize's strength to keep himself from beating the men who dared to call themselves his followers.

"Your Excellency, we were going to execute her tomorrow."

Treize could no longer control his rage. "It's a good thing for you that I arrived when I did. If you HAD killed her, then I would have tracked you down like the low-life #%&&^$#@^&**$%$ that you are and killed you the slowest way possible."

He went over to Lady Une and gently picked her up. "Mr. Treize, is-is that really you?"

"Shh, Lady. Save your strength. I'm really here. Let me take care of you right now." Lady Une looked into Treize's blue eyes, shining with his love for her. She leaned her head against his shoulder and let him carry her. Treize turned around and left the compound. When he was through the gates, the bombs exploded. Everyone inside the compound was killed, and all the buildings were destroyed. Shrapnel flew through the air, and Treize felt something cut through his shirt. He staggered, managing to gently set Lady Une down on the ground.

As the metal kept flying, Treize shielded Lady Une with his body. He collapsed on top of her, his back a bloody mess. When the metal stopped coming, Sally and Wu Fei rushed down the hill to help the injured couple. Sally carried Lady Une, while Wu Fei carried Treize. Even though Wu Fei had grown six inches since he had last seen Treize, it was still hard for him to carry the taller man. When they reached the helicopter, Sally and Wu Fei gently lay the couple on separate stretchers. Wu Fei flew the chopper as Sally tended to their wounds.

<Une will be ok with some rest, but…Treize really should be in a hospital.> Suddenly, Wu Fei's voice came through the intercom.

"Onna, how are they?"

"Une will be ok, but Mr. Kushrenada needs to be in a hospital. There is shrapnel embedded in his back, and he has deep cuts from the larger pieces."

"OK, we'll be back at Headquarters soon. When we get back, we'll get him to the hospital."
