"...Yes before any of that we have to do something first." Silverberg said to Relena who nodded and Zechs followed him out of the room.
"You want me along with you on the mission?" asked Zechs.
"Yes, I will infiltrate X-219, I will take Tsunami and I will...take care of Malkin."
"Of course it is the only other Gundam they have other then the Tsunami with a cloaking device."
"A cloaking device???" Zechs blinked in astonishment, he had heard experiments with cloaking devices on ships and mobile suits but none of them were ever successful.
"Yes, they were successful in developing a cloaking device and so far only Tsunami can detect in. They will soon fit their other mobile suits with the cloaking device."
Silverberg continued "I will soon have Hawk Talon ready for you in a weeks time, you will lead a unit and look out for any interference from our Gundam Pilot friends."
Zechs shook his head "But they destroyed their Gundams..."
"I just learned they were rebuilt apparently Une and Winner seem to planned for this, I think they may have suspected what the Gundanium was for. Plus I have people loyal to me within the organisation..."
Two weeks later
Heero was called to the briefing room, everyone had heard about how Relena had behaved towards them in the park. Duo assured him that this would pass but Heero very much doubted it but he didn't care he loves Noin and if Relena does anything to harm her she WILL regret it. Heero had also thought about Zechs' recent disappearance.
He arrived and he saw Duo, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei and Noin there and so was Lady Une.
They took their places as Une began the briefing.
"All right, with what happened on L-3 we have been investigating this matter and this organisation whatever they are have built at least 15 Gundams and we believe they may have built more that we don't know about."
"15 Gundams!?" Duo blinked
Une nodded and continued "Fortunately I had guessed at what the Gundanium was for and as you may know there have been even more before this. I arranged to have your Gundam's rebuilt."
Une then motioned for the lights to be turned off as she turned the projector and the image of Silverberg and what looked like a Gundam that attacked them on L-3 appeared "We recently learned that Silverberg is on Earth, we have reason to suspect that he is probably rogue for reasons we have yet to determine and I have put an All Points Bulletin on him at every Preventer base and all Law Enforcement Agencies on Earth."
An Preventer entered and Une glared at him silently demanding an explanation.
"There have been reports of an uprising on colony X-219. There have been reports of what look like Gundams involved."
Une cursed under her breath and indicated for the Preventer to go.
"Looks like a change of plans is in order..." she muttered.
A week later
Heero boarded the rebuilt Wing Zero Custom and he saw Noin board the rebuilt Epyon. Heero really didn't want her to go on this mission but orders were orders. Their orders were to assist in the re-taking of X-219.
They launched but the other Gundam Pilots remained behind as backup in case they needed it.
They both got a reasonable distance near X-219 and began their sweep after over 10 minutes without finding anything...
"Heero! I have contact!" snapped Noin as a group of approaching mobile suits and a Gundam!?.
"Well Heero and Noin, Silverberg sends his regards."
"Zechs!?" Heero and Noin gasped in unison.
"Yes, I don't think you'll go anywhere further we have our own business on X-219."
Heero evaded a shot from Hawk Talon and the Virgo's headed straight for him while Zechs whipped out his beam saber and went for Noin who evaded with her Energy Sword.
"Think you can fight me Noin?" Zechs sneered mockingly.
"I can and I will!" shouted Noin as she parried yet another attack.
"Its funny Noin you have done nothing but follow me around for nearly a decade and a couple of years you professed your...love." Zechs said with a shake of his head "Then you left me for Heero."
"Besides you already had someone else, I saw you two remember?! WHAT THE HELL WAS I!?" Noin demanded as she attacked.
But Zechs was just able to parry "Excess Baggage..." he replied "You became nothing but that..."
"Its funny how I lowered myself in pursuit of you and how I thought I loved you..." Noin laughed humourlessly as she lashes with her heat rod tearing off the right arm that held Hawk Talon's beam cannon.
Zechs attacked again with his beam saber but Noin not only deflecting the attack but knocked the beam saber away then sliced off Hawk Talon's other arm but at the same time her heat rod found Hawk Talon's main camera.
Before Zechs could react Noin spun Zechs around then her Energy sword struck Hawk Talon's engines crippling it.
Noin checked her radar, the others had already defeated the last of the Virgo's.
"Go ahead, kill me."
"We'd love to but we're going to be bringing you in, you've got some questions to answer." Noin said with a smile.
"NOIN LOOK OUT!!!!" Yelled Heero and Noin barely time to get out of the way before Hawk Talon exploded when a few struck its cockpit.
"Noin! Are you all right!?" yelled Heero the explosion had sent Epyon hurtling before it came to a stop.
I hope she's all right! "Noin!"
"I'm fine, Epyon's armour took the brunt of the explosion."
Heero sighed in relief, then thought about the Gundam that had destroyed Hawk Talon it looked likethe same Gundam that attacked them on L-3! But then it suddenly vanished! None of them could detect on their radar.
What's going on!? Some kind of cloaking device? Heero wondered, he heard that the Alliance and OZ have been experimenting with cloaking devices but there were numerous failures
"Everybody!" Quatre's voice came over the intercom interrupting Heero's thoughts.
"What is it?" asked Wufei
"The Colony...X-219...Its not there anymore!"
"What!?" Everyone shouted in unison.
"Its been totally destroyed!"
There were a few minutes silence before Wufei cut in "We had better report this to Colonel Une."
There was nothing further they could do but head back...
Silverberg landed at his designated landing zone at a hidden base of the organisation which was now under his control it was a marvellous opportunity to kill the rest of the leaders especially Malkin he chuckled at the thought of his accomplishment.
Red Alert sirens sounded throughout the base on colony X-219 as the Gundam Tsunami took off firing its particle cannon into the colony, it was similar to the buster rifle on Wing Zero but it was much more powerful.
"Please stop Silverberg!" Pleaded a voice that Silverberg recognised as Malkin.
"Ah Hugh! Good to hear from you." Silverberg replied with sarcasm.
"Henrikson acted without my authorisation you are not-"
"Bullshit! Henrikson can't tie his shoes without permission you had to have ordered it!"
Malkin tried to speak again but Silverberg cut him off "Sayonara!" and promptly fired again destroying the entire colony while Zechs and the Virgo's acted as decoy...
Silverberg thought to himself, well that's them taken care of...
Relena then met him and Silverberg gave a little bow "Don't worry Relena, everything is going as planned so far..."
Relena nodded "You will keep your end of the bargain?"
"Of course!" replied Silverberg "First we need a little something before we can put our plans into effect." I need her for the time being, I just need to make sure that Lady Une will be easier to deal with. Silverberg smirked this girl was some piece of work, she hadn't even asked what happened to her own brother! Oh well, at least he served as a good decoy I've got much more important things to think about...
Author's notes: What did you think? I always felt it was more a schoolgirl infatuation on Noin's part then anything else and between her and Zechs there was no question who was the superior pilot.
