Prologue

Before the Battle: Sass aka Lilly

The sounds of ammunition could be heard thought the battle field. The smell of gunpowder mixed with blood ranked through out the air. Flaming fires and straps of metal could been seen everywhere with dead bodies here and there before burning into nothing from the fires.

Commands ran through her head as her arms moved quickly typing in a system. She needed it to get *her* out alive, to get *them* out of here alive.

Her finger slowly pressed it in each letter. "Z-E-R-O -3 " she said while hitting each key. "Begins now!" she screamed in rage letting the gundam arms swing in front of her, letting a beam of energy fly out the cannon at the path of mobile dolls in front of her. She quickly flew up as the system listed an attack from above. Her mind was now the system.

"Duo, got to the right. Take all you can while running through into the water. Hit the ships before they release anymore. Hilde I want you to clean up behind him." "Roger, their death wish is coming." Duo said flying out to the water with Hilde in pursuit behind him.

"Sass, I can take the ones in the sky with you. I still have three fourths of my ammunition left." Trowa said.

"No, you fight better on land. Taking out more at one time than I can. Stay there. Get in the middle and work you way out." "Well I guess it's time to give them a show of their life." Trowa said back, taking off now and rushing the line up of troops while taking some down with him before reaching the middle.

"Tousama, I want you to back him up. Keeping you back to him while taking out the right while he hits the left." "Fine, they will now feel my wraith stubborn musume." Wufei said leaving her side and going after Trowa.

"Alright, Quatre or Herro. One of you stay down and help him Work you way inward eliminating them from the back before they know it." Sass ordered taking off into the sky to catch the ones coming from the air planes and hover crafts.

"The other one fallow me."

"Herro you go with her, Zero fights better in the sky than Sandrock." "Fine." was all Herro said before taking off.

Sass had already began her assault firing her beam cannon at the hovers crafts before the mobile dolls could leave. She quickly turned around trusted out her light sword as the system showed her enemies now forming behind her. She tighten her hand around the stick on the arm of chair in the cot pick and slammed down on the button that was on top of it. Letting the sword cut through the mobile doll in front of her. Slicing it and than pushing it upwards at the one above her. She than brought the Gundams arms slamming down to slice the three below her but find Herro there instead.

"The ships above you. You take that one and I'll take the other two." he said taking off. Sass turned around and fired up her beam cannon again letting the force of it's power impact on her body making herself push further back in the seat slamming her head against the top of the seat. Her gundam even shook somewhat at the force of it. The hover was destroyed, it looked like the main one.

"Duo, Trowa, Quatre, Hilde, and tousama the main craft has been destroyed. So finish having your fun and go." Sass ordered taking off to see the battle ground below her destroyed with only the three left standing. The water had been cleared, only burning ships where seen sinking it along the newer aries and even there latest model. The scorpio. Duo and Hilde came flying out the water un harmed. In the dissidence you could some of the enemies fleeing for their lifes.

"Looks like you can handle the new zero system after all with out killing everything in site." Herro's voice came out calmly through the screen as his picture cleared now. "You should have programmed it in here when you did yours." she said back simple."See. I could have gone after the four I saw retreat but didn't. You should trust me more often."

"Yes, but there was a possible chance of you seeing the enemy was everyone. And I didn't need you on a killing rampage." Herro said and than disagreed off the screen.

"Hm, men. Nothing but manipulative little bastard." Sass mumered to herself. "Lily, when did you start talk like that. Plus, I could say the same about you. It seamed to me you did the same to Herro on taking over this mission just so he would have to put the newer zero system in there" Wufei said to her.

"Oh, hi tousama. Well I guess you should watch what you say around me. Well I have to go and help kaasama fix dinner." Sass said flying off faster leaving everyone else behind her.

"Well, Wufei my man. She's defiantly just like you." Duo said. "You have no idea how much." Trowa said coming in from behind.

"She was and still being train to be the best, so if that's the case. Than yes, she is just like me. Rather than that, she has her kaasama's fighting and stubborn spirit." Wufei said looking ahead and taking off.

The others just shrugged and took off as well.

Later that night all the gundam pilots gathered at Wufei's house to eat for the night. Sense they where on his colony and where staying the night anyway.

Duo came walking in with Hilde, his arms wrapped around her waist and tugging along from behind. "How cute, a fool with a braid and his lady with a sense of sanity. They seam so at peace with each other. Why can't I have that? Is battle all to be in my only life as well as *his*. Is death and destruction to be all that I find pleasing and love besides *him*. The knowing that justice will be given in the end, to know that it will bring peace again. Is that my peace and sanity. Yet even at times it doesn't seam enough. I just want to laugh and be happy with *him.*" Sass thought to herself while laying the knifes on the table with the other silverware along side the plates.

"Hey kid, how's it going?" Duo asked. "Fine, thank you. So when is you and Hilde's wedding?" Sass ask. "You know Sass, I wish I could tell you, but mister death here hasn't set a date yet with me." Hilde said cocking her eyes back at Duo. Sass could only smile at the couple. "Sorry Duo, didn't mean to get you in trouble." she said bringing a smile on her face at him.

"An, it's alright kid. My mouth would have said something by tonight to get my in trouble. You know me." "You know, you can stop calling my kid now. I am sixteen and will seventeen within a couple of months." she said back .

"Yeah, but that makes me feel old knowing that your older. Plus I helped raised you when you where a kid. You where so cute, a little feisty, but cute. Who else rather than would braid you hair." he said, Sass could only blush. "Alright, old man." Sass said than running out the room to the smoke room. It was where her tousama would set and clear his mind after battling and smoke a pipe.

Sass slowly open the door and bowed to her tousama, letting her braid hang to the floor over her shoulder. "Tousama, dinner is ready. "Ok musume." Wufei walked over to her lifting her head up and kissed her forehead. "You know, I maybe the leader of the clean and you have to bow to me around other people. But we are at home, you do not have to here." he said.

"Yes tousama." she said kissing his check with her braid slinging back behind her back. Wufei just walked out. He had wanted a musuko, but was proud he had *his* musume. His musume was everything to him and could have no better.

Sass went to walk out but felt something grab her arm. She silently turned around. To see him, with that glare in his eyes. His lips still set in that same smug smirk. Never a smile. Eyes shadow over by pieces of hair hanging freely down. Such deep pools of ocean blue eyes from the deepest part. So dark and smoky, yet with hints of blue to make them even more mysteries.

"You know, I could have killed you if I was an enemy." Herro said still holding on her arm.

"Well if you where smart one you have already killed me before grabbing my arm. Than again I would have heard the gun cock and swung around to kill you with it. But if you where really smart, you would have grabbed my arm tighter. So I can't do this." Sass said grabbing a hold of his arm that was on hers and flipped him over onto the wood floor.

"Surprise." was all he said still holding her arm and squeezing it tighter and yanking it down to bring her down on top of him. Sass just laid there on top of him. Arms bracing herself above him. "Let go of my arm before you leave mark. I would not want my tousama to have to kill you." she said and he let go of her arm.

"Fine." he said than moving his hand to her shoulders and rolling on top of her. "How's this than." he said moving his hands off her shoulders and planting them on the sides of her to brace himself above her.

"Dinner is waiting on the table, and I will not eat it cold. Than we will have the others asking why *we* where late." she said firmly. "They can wait." was all he said before crushing his lips to hers. Harshly, yet it felt so good. Sass pressed her lips harder against his, pushing her tongue out between his two lips. Both letting the tongue intertwine in passion as lips smooth against each other. "Mm, Herro. You know sometime I wordier why I married you. Now, I know why." she said leaning in to kiss him again.

"Lilly, we-" her kaasama said. "A hum you two." she said firmly. The two stopped and looked up at her. A slight blush swept across Sass's face while Herro just stood up. Sass just glared at Herro. She really couldn't think of what to say and that sounded good right now. Herro just walked out. Like nothing happend.

"Sorry kaasama, it will not happen again." Sass said looking down at the floor. Meiran just walked up to her and lifted her chin. "Now let's go eat." she said walking out with her.

Dinner went on and everyone joked, and told stories like always. It was so nice to laugh and smile with them. Not fighting with them in battle, giving commands, receiving commands. It was nice to be able to live normally. Or at lest for one night. But the colonies needed them. So that's how it was. Her colony had doubled it sizes so her father let her have half why he took the other half. He was still in command over it all she was just learning how to run things before she receive it. Doctor J, had made her a gundam like Herro's. It was just like zero, she fought better in his than the others. The only thing, it had her colonies colors on it. To her, the sky is where she belonged. Out in the sky and space. That is where she would fight.

"Dinner was good, Wufei my man. You defiantly got two women who know how to cook." Duo said leaning back in the chair patting his belly. Wufei just snorted. "You saying I can't cook!" Hilde said poking him in the stomach with her elbow.

"Thank you, the dinner was very good Meiran ." Quatre said. "Thank you, you two, but Lily mainly cooked everything." she said. As the maids went around and picked up the plates. "So when will be are next mission. If soon, than I need to re load my ammunition." Trowa said.

"The newsiest mission will not take place until two weeks. The white fang had sighed a treaty with Romafeller now to team up against us and the colonies. Taking one out at a time. To show the others what will happen when one does not sign the government over to them. Letting them control all colonies by arm forces." Herro said.

"Why, what do they plain to do with us after wards?" Quatre asked "They plain to take over earth. Having total control over earth and space. To control the world is their plane. They will attack here first. Sense it's the largest. Than move to each of yours one by one." Sass said.

"Than I guess we will have shut them up again. You would think they would have learned form the last time when we stopped them." Duo said. "Yes, but they know we are older now. Not kids with nothing to lose but a colony. They know we have families now. They know we are not as rational." Wufei said closing his eyes while leaning back.

"Well we can't just let them do it. We have to stop them." Duo said. "I know, I have already received information from where they will setting up a base out side each colonies. There's a slight chance they may attack all of us at once. And that's to much for us." Herro said.

"Well, maybe Noin can lend us a hand. We need the earth to team up with space before they attack. To rid them once an for all." Quatre said looking over at Trowa. "Fine, I will call her tonight. We fight again in two weeks. Herro, do you think you can program zero two system in our gundams in case they attack each colony all at once." Trowa said standing up.

"Fine, I will tonight before I leave." "Your leaving tomorrow?" Sass asked. "No, I will leave in two days to go back to my colony. I just have something other to do tomorrow." Herro said. "Oh." was all she said.

"Well I guess I can fight again with you Wufei." Meiran said. "No woman, I will not have my wife out there fighting. I already have my musume out there fighting. " Wufei said firmly.

"To bad, I had already made up mind today. I will not sit here and let you fight and just wait for you to come back. I am a woman and I am not weak. I will fight, and that is that." she snapped back. "Woman!" was all Wufei could say.

The other just sat there. "Well I have your mobile doll ready Meiran . It's pretty much like mine. You can take it out tomorrow for a test drive." Hilde said. "What, you know about this?" Duo asked. "Yeah, and I think she's right. So can it." Hilde said. Wufei just looked at her with a glare of disgust.

"Look, I'm not going to hear this. We need everyone we can get to fight. We have to fight together as a team to beat them. Once and for all!" Sass said standing up slamming her fist down on the table. Everyone just looked at her. "Meiran will fight with us. So will Noin. Trowa I have already called her, she will be here tomorrow morning."

"What? When did you call her?" "When I received the information yesterday."

"She's right, we need to fight together as a team to beat them. Woman or not. Meiran and Noin are good fighters, so is Hilde. We make plains tomorrow night after I take care of business." Herro said. "What, I will not have Hilde out there in that big of a battle!" Duo said standing up.

"Dou! I'm not your wife yet. I can and will fight along with you!" Hilde stood up and yanked him by the collar to face him face to face. "Now, I have something to tell say to all of you. Well I still have some access codes to Romerfeller and can get some information about the attacks at their bases. I can set out later tonight." Hilde said.

With that said Hilde walked out the room with Duo getting ready to fallow behind her. "Ge, and I thought you had it bad Wufei." Duo said sheepishly. "Never mess with a woman when she's in a rage." Trowa said simply. "Well, that helps allot now!" Duo said walking out to get Hilde.

"Alright, everyone lets get some sleep tonight. Hilde will do her thing and get that info." Wufei said. "Fine." everyone said.

Later that night Sass stood in front of her mirror looking at herself. She was only sixteen and her eyes told so much more than a sixteen year should. Yet she loved it, she liked fighting. The feeling that she was going to win and justice would be served. She flung her braid in front and slowly undid it. Her hair was long. It hit midway down her back. Her bangs where long as well when they hung loosely. Normally she had all her hair puled back tightly into a braid. She slowly pulled the tank top off and slide her pants down. She dressed like her tousama.

Now she stood there wearing her bra and underwear. She was bigger than her kaasama and had to wear a bra. Though the rest of her was tiny. She took so much after her tousama in looks. Though she had bright golden eyes that shown in the dark like cats eyes.

She slowly ran a hand down her side and felt the skin poke out in lines that formed her real name Lilly. Lilly Wufei Chang. Sassy was a name she was called because of her sassiness. Most called her Sassy unless they know her pretty well. Than they would call her Sass. Only Wufei and Meiran called her Lilly, but they where her parents. Herro, though would call her that sometimes too, or when they where alone. It was more of a pet name for him to call her that. Also she called her gundam Sassy. That's what her enemy called her as well. To give her real name would be stupid. And that she was not.

She gazed over it and said her name "Lilly. Hm, such a beautiful flower yet I have nothing to compare to it's beauty. " she said.

"Yes, you do." Sass quickly grabbed the dagger out from the side of her panties and through it at the figure before. "Nice try." he said holding it by the blade part. He took another step forward.

"Herro, what are you doing ?" she said moving to grab a rob from the cot rake next to the bed post.

As she went to grab it, Herro just grabbed her arm. "Why cover such beauty, Lilly." he said pulling her closer as his breath blew past her ear."Herro, we have to get some sleep." she said pulling away placing her hands on his chest. "Sorry, I never leave a job unfinished. I will finish what we started earlier." he said nipping her earlobe and letting his tongue slid down her neck.

"Her-ro, I said," Lilly said trying to catch her breath as his left hand left her waist and made light touches on her thigh and slowly moved inward. Barley touching her there. "we ca-n't..ah!"

"I'm just making sure you are not hiding anymore daggers down there before I lay you to bed. And don't worry, you will get *some sleep*." was all he said before kissing her harder.

**************************************

"Wufei, are you still mad at me. You know I can take care of myself just fine out there. I'm not going to ask you to let me fight out there, because you know I will." Meiran said.

"Meiran , I have no dout you are a strong woman. I have learned that over the past seventeen years of being married to you. So you will fight by me. And that is that." Wufei said.

Meiran just smiled. "Now get some sleep woman." he said. Meiran went to lay as Wufei watched her. As she laid there with her eyes close, she could still feel him staring at her. He had never been the one to say I love you, your beautiful or anything like that, mush less say she was strong. When he did, it meant something to her. Even though he called her woman still, it seamed to mean something different now. It had a different feeling behind it. Like a pet name.

Wufei just stared at her. "Still just as beautiful and persistent as ever."Wufei thought. Wufei leaned down and kissed her lips softly. He was such a soft and passionate kisser. He would always brush his lips against hers before fully kissing her. Everything he did he put all he had in it.

Meiran kissed him back, rubbing her lips against his. Wufei pulled back and kissed her nose. Than laid down to sleep himself.

*********************************

"Trowa, I'm sorry to wake you. I haven't had time to call you earlier. Than I learned that you where fighting again. So I figured I would wait. I wanted to tell you what me and Sass talked about." Noin said over the phone. "I already know, we are going over everything tomorrow after you get here. Meiran will be fighting with us well. Along with Qutra's troops." Trowa said.

"Oh, I see. Sally Po might come with me as well. She still working along side with Providence Peace center. I can see if she can send in more troops. I think are best chance is to let them hit us all at once so we can take them all at once. Though, we will have to hit them with everything we have." Noin said. " True, well I guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow." Trowa said back.

"Alright, try to stay out of trouble and tell the others I said hi." "Fine, I will."

"Hey, Trowa." her voice said lowering. "Yeah, what is it." he said noting the tone in her voice. "It's just nice to hear your voice that's all. I miss hearing it." she said, almost flushing if he could see her.

"Noin, I " Trowa said. "I have to go, early flight tomorrow." Noin said about to hang up the phone. "Noin, wait. I miss you as well. My feelings still remain the same." he said before hanging up. "Ja, mata, ne Trowa." she said hanging up.

Trowa walked over to his bed and sat on the endge. "Hm, has it been that long. I guess to one six months is a long time. It's been that long sense I last seen her. It was that day, the day I left earth to come back. When she saw me, really saw me. She had grown closer to me. She has no one really, but her friends. I guess that's why she relates to me, sense I have no one either but friends." Trowa said .

*******************************

"Dou, I will see you in the morning." Hilde said buckling her belt and loading her gun. She slid her gun in her gun catch hanging on her belt. "Alright, but please be come back to me and don't anything stupid kid." Duo said sitting on the bed with the pillows fluffed up behind his back and head while the top sheet lay over his legs. Hilde just smiled and walked over to the dresser placing a knife in her left boot.

"You got an extra gun i," Duo said watching her pull it from her back. ", in my back. Stop worrying, I always play the messenger. Course can't say that's what they would call me." Hilde said smiling walking over to Duo.

"Yes, well I like mine to be on time. You know I would hate to have to fire you and get someone else." Duo said smirking at her. "Yeah, and I'll hang you with that braid of yours if you do that." she said. "I love it when you talk like that, to bad we can't finish." Duo said while she leaned down over him. Her eyes peering into his.

"We haven't started anything." she said leaning down and kissing him full on the lips. Hilde pulled away cupping his face in her hands. "Now we have. Ja, ne!" she said running out the door. "Ah, it's going to be a long night. Mine as well see what's on tv." Duo said taking the remote and flipping the tv on.
