A loud knock on the door is heard as Heero shifts sleepily in his bed.
"Who is it?" Heero mumbles
"It's Qautre."
Heero yawns "Come in."
Qautre enters, he's about as awake as Heero.
"I have a bad feeling." says Qautre leaning against the door frame.
"Yeah? Last night I got a mysterious letter from an ere of the Yuy family."
"Really?"
"Yeah he said he was spying for us and that major things were happening in space." Qautre nods and begins to walk back towards his room.
"Good night, Heero."
"See ya in the morning, Qautre."

After this disturbance, Heero has no problem going to sleep and staying that way. Heero begins to have one of the many dreams he has all to often... "Commander, you were splendid, just splendid! Destroying that colony wasn't the easiest decision in the universe."
"It was necessary to gain total peace. Zechs was right all along."
"Sir!" An officer with long., braided, hair steps onto the bridge followed by a blonde young man in handcuffs and stands before his commander. "I have brought you the rebel Qautre Rebeberba Winner as you requested."

"Good job, Duo." The officer bows and steps from in front of the prisoner. The prisoner looks up with a look of hatred on his face.

"Heero! I thought you were one of us but i guess I was wrong. How could you do such a thing as destroying a colony?!"
"Silence, rebel! You will be a prisoner here until the colonies decide what to do with you."
Qautre spits at the commander but misses by ten inches.
"You sorry son of a ... mnph!" Qautre falls to the ground in a heap. The officer had punched him severely in the gut to shut him up.
"How dare you talk to commander Heero like that, rebel!"
"Duo, take this scum out of my face."
The officer bows. "Yes sir!" He leads Qautre off of the bridge screaming at Commander Heero.
"You'll pay, Heero! Trowa and Wufei are still out there and they won't stop until you're dead!  We'll be more trouble than we're worth! You'll pay Heero! You'll pay!"

Heero wakes, cold sweat streaming down his face and neck his eyes are wide with shock and he sits up quickly hoping the dream wasn't real. Heero sighs as he realizes it wasn't real and hops out of bed. As Heero heads to the shower he looks at his wrist watch.
"Only five fifteen in the morning, I think I'll get some more sleep."
Heero walks back to his bedroom and gets back in bed. He closes his eyes peacefully and, again, drifts to sleep. The words from the dream still echo in his mind as if they were real and he begins to dream once again...

He looks around the great cockpit of the Epyon. putting down the visor of his helmet he takes off after another rebel followed by his second in command.

"Engaging enemy." his second pipes in over the radio, "Are you sure that we can handle these guys ourselves?"
"Don't worry about it. You and me are all it takes to eliminate a small band of rebels."
As he had predicted, the battle went smoothly and the one Gundam was no match for their superior speed and strength. Your second pries open the cockpit and pulls out the rebel Gundam pilot.

Back on the bridge of the battleship, the commander confronts both rebels.  "Join us and your lives will be spared."
"Join?......"
"Qautre, you're not thinking of..."
"I'll do it."
The commander nods.
"Welcome Qautre Rebaberba Winner. Welcome to Dragon Force."

Heero re-awakens with the light nudging of a very nosy Duo. "Gawd Duo stop!"
"Oh, sorry ,Heero, I didn't know you were awake."
"I wasn't. But it does get annoying when you stick you butt in other peoples business."
"Huh? Heero, what are you talking about?"
Heero suddenly goes red in the face as he realizes that he's acting like the Duo before him is the same Duo from his dreams.
"Uh... nothing... nothing..."
Duo lets out a slight sigh and leaves the room talking to himself.
"I'm letting these dreams get to me."
Heero gets out of bed and puts some clothes on before heading towards Ottern's office.
When he reaches it, he stumbles inside and hands his reply to Ottern.
"Ah, so you decided to reply to him..."
"Strictly business Ottern, strictly business..."
"Right."
Heero walks out of the office and into the cafeteria where everyone else if waiting for him.  The five gundam pilots are the only ones in the cafeteria. Heero receives his breakfast and sits down at the same table as the others. Everybody but Heero is acting normal. Duo and Trowa are playing chess just like they used to on PeaceMillion and Wufei is watching, also, just like on PeaceMillion. Wufei watches as Duo decides to ignore the tips given by Wufei two years ago.
"Don't you remember anything." asks Wufei moving a rook to Block Duo's king from being in checkmate. Duo scratches his head.
"No, not really. Hey Heero, you gonna play this time?"
Heero just sits, totally still and silent.
"Yo! Earth to Heero!"
"Can you shut-up please?" asks Heero. Duo listens and continues playing chess.

Later that day, Duo is found in the arcade playing video games with all the guys except Heero.
"Man! What is bugging that guy?!" asks Duo, extremely peeved that he just lost again at his favorite game.
"I don't know but I think we should stay out of it." replies Qautre also bugged that he can't beet a simple game.
"Yeah, Heero can take care of himself." Both Qautre and Duo turn to Trowa who hadn't made it much farther than they had on the games but he wasn't to mad about it.
"Yes but can Heero take emotional problems as well as physical challenge?" wonders Wufei as he slams the game console, not making it past the third level of battle.
"You guys think we should quit for the day?"
"Yeah!" cry the other three pilots rushing out of the stuffy arcade leaving Duo behind wondering what their problem is.

That night, Heero waits for the so called "ere" to the Yuy family. As he flops back on his bed, a tall figure enters the room.
"Ottern told me your room number and code. I read your reply and I think you deserve all the information I have."
"lights." Heero says this and the lights activate. He sees a tall, Japanese pilot standing in the door. His clothes aren't much but a top held up by one, thick, strap with a large sword strapped to his back. His long braided, black hair, with brown streaks, has feathers and beads threaded through it.

"You're an interesting sight." says Heero.
"Everybody thinks so."
"Yeah? C'mon, sit and tell me everything you know."
"Right."
Herum sits in front of Heero and starts telling him about the newest mobile suits, weapons, and strategies of Dragon Force. After he finishes Heero looks almost stunned by how much power Dargon Force has. The visitor sees this and reasures him.
"Don't worry 'bout it. The scientists who created Libra's cannon left behind the plans that had the glich built in them so Dragon Force also built the glich into their system."

Heero nods and looks up at the pilot.
"What was your name again?" He asks watching the mysterious ally go.
"Herum, Herum Yuy."
Heero nods and salutes Herum a goodbye leaving Heero in his room to rest and dream once again...
