Gundam Wing : The Battle for Freedom (an alternate universe)


Part I: News of the Virus

The primary differences between this GW story and the real one.....
Cast differences...

Trowa : he is still missing but does not suffer from amnesia. Instead it's more of a battle fatigue. He is more solemn then ever after serving under Lady Une. He finds Catharine and travels with the circus throughout the colonies keeping his eye on Romefeller. He has Heavyarms hidden with the circus gear.
Quatre: when he returns from space the Maganac Corps has his Gundam ready for him on earth. He goes after it before he goes to the Sank Kingdom with Heero.
Wufei :after escaping the lunar base Wufei takes Altron and heads for Master Longs. He sees the colony destroyed. Then Wufei returns to earth and meets up with Sally Poe once again. With his heart full of anger and sadness he feels compelled to help her with a few missions before trying to locate the other Gundam pilots.
Sally Poe: in this story she is a Lieutenant not a major. Other than that same scenario, leading rebel forces on earth against the Romefeller Foundation.
Noin : she stays in contact with military leaders, like Sally while still doing her thing protecting Relina. She also has contact with Zechs, at first without Relina's knowledge.
Duo : after he pilots the Wing Zero he decides that he has to return to earth to meet back up with the other Gundam pilots. Howard contacted him and advised him that the Sank Kingdom is the best place for him to make a stand against the Romefeller Foundation.
Zechs: has left Oz, is approached by the White Fang and has joined them. At this point he has the Wing 0. He is aboard Peacemillion with Howard.
Relina : there is added pressure on her as Heero and Quatre arrive and pose as students. There are several other students there whose fathers work for Romefeller. Many of these new students have 'body guards' which are merely spies for Romefeller.
*Chelle Lee : A new character. Female about 17. Brown hair/eyes. Her father was military strategist for the alliance, until he outlived his usefulness and was killed. Mother dies a little over a year later. Mother was a romance novelist . under her own name she publishes the rest of her mothers unprinted works as her own. She moves in social circles like that of Romefeller Foundation. She meets and befriends Relina years before her father dies when she and Relina attend the same school. After the death of her parents a new figure appears claiming to be a friend of her dead father. She is about 8 yrs. Old. He excuses her governess (no living family) and begins her training. He trains her in the martial arts/espionage and she studies her fathers work. Through acts of sheer defiance against Oz, she meets up with other rebels at the age of 13. Quickly her skills are put to use. She pilots a Leo on several missions. She uses her social status and hacker skills to know every move Oz makes, often at the cost of her own suffering. She comes up with the tactical offensives against oz and soon enough the mobile dolls. At the age of 15 her Leo is destroyed in battle. She barely escapes with her life. Posing that she had a car accident she goes to Relina's school to recoup. There she gathers more info and more allies. It is during this stay at private school that her and Relina become very close. Relina excepts her as a last resort for help when she encounters the Gundam pilots.

Story Differences

Not much. This picks up before the Sank Kingdom is invaded and all Gundam pilots, except for Trowa are on earth. Treiz is confined, Lady Une has been shot and brought to earth. Zechs is approached by White Fang while doing the ambassador thing.

And now the story.........



Relina: I think that is getting to be too dangerous for you and Quatre to remain here as students
Heero: I think our being here puts the sank kingdom at risk, but I don’t think the Taurus’s will be enough to protect you if oz invades.
Relenia: the Romefeller foundations presence here is becoming obvious. I have to be alert at all times. I have to keep preaching peace. I must make them understand…..they know that there are members of the Tres faction here and they suspect the Gundam are here as well. *sigh*.

Heero: we can go if you think it is for the best, but I don’t want to be to far away. I don’t trust the Romefeller foundation. They may invade at any time.
Relina: then it is imperative that you stay close…but I think its time to get you and Quatre out of here. For the safety of all.
Heero: so what do you suggest?
Relina: have you ever heard of an operative that goes by the name c.s.?
Heero: you mean the colony sympathizer? I have heard c.s. is responsible for many of the battles here and in space too. Has some sort of an arrangement with rebel troops and the Trez fraction.
Relenia: *nods* c.s knows everything about Oz. Cs is developing the plans for….for a battle against oz. I know. I could send you two there…..
Heero: where?
Relina: c.s operates just outside of the Sanc kingdom. You would still be close enough to help if we were invaded.
Heero: can you trust him?
Relina: no, I can trust her.
Heero:*brows go up* c.s is a woman.
Relina: Ive known her for years. I have known of her activities as c.s for a while now. She’s been on her own since her mother died a few years ago. She came here to recover from her…accident.
Heero: I have heard the story. Cs and a legion of rebels in Leo’s went up against the alliance. They were destroyed. But now you say c.s escaped.
Relina: yes, and she’s been working with the rebels underground ever since. Her father was a brilliant man. A general of the alliance, she learned much from him. her guardian after her parents died was really something else. I think he was an assassin, but I never was given all of the information. She kept a lot to herself, it was only recently she revealed to me that she was c.s.
Heero: if you think it’s for the best…
Relina: *sighs*: I'm afraid so, at least for now. now I just need to get in contact with her.*turns* Noin, could you come with me? I need you.
Noin: *looks up* yes, miss Relina. *the two go to the elevator and go up*
Heero:*approaching Quatre* pack a bag pal, we gotta get outta here
Quatre: I wondered how long we could stay without endangering this kingdom. I guess time is up.
Heero: Gundam pilots in a pacifist nation are not necessarily a good thing.
Quatre: what if they’re invaded after we leave?
Heero:*watching the rising elevator* don’t worry we aren’t going far


In Relina office at the video phone. Noir is finding them a secure channel. Suddenly cs’s image appears on the screen. She looks up at Noin.
Noin: greetings. Miss Relina of the Sanc kingdom wishes to speak with you. *she gets up and Relina sits down.*
Relina: hello, chelle Lee. It is good to see you.
chelle: and you as well miss Relina. To what do I owe the honor of this call. Surely it must be very difficult to find a secure channel coming out of the Sanc kingdom.
Relina: indeed . actually I was hoping that you would attend the party here tonight. I would really like to see you.
chelle: of course miss Relina it would be an honor.
Relina: good lets say eight o clock then
chelle *smiles* see you then. *her screen goes blank*
Relina:*turns to Noin* I think this is a party our Gundam pilots best not attend. There will be too many people from the Romefeller foundation there tonight.
Noin: *nods* I think that you are right miss Relina
Relina: Miss Noin, I need you to go out at dusk to find the other on his way here. Duo Maxwell.
Noin: yes Miss Relina *thinking to herself* Romefeller could invade us at any time. I hope the Gundam pilots aren't going far....Zechs...where are you?

Meanwhile…..Duo has hid his Gundam in the forest just outside of the Sanc kingdom. He arrives at the border and sneaks across. The border has mobile dolls every _ mile or so and ground troops as well
Duo: man, there are mobile dolls everywhere. The Sanc kingdom could be invaded at any time. I hope Relina Peacecraft knows what she’s doing. I hope I can get in
*The sun is setting as Duo approaches the palace. Noin is outside, waiting for him. she turns when she hears rustling in the bushes that line the edge of the forest. Duo cautiously steps out.*
Noin: Duo Maxwell?
Duo: maybe*he has a gun behind his back*
Noin: I am Lucretzia Noin. quickly, you should not be seen. The others are below waiting for you.
*Duo tucks the gun in his pants Noin quickly leads him inside and takes him below*
Duo:*stepping off the elevator he sees Heero and Quatre in uniform* hey guys miss me? *looks at them funny* I really dig the outfits.
Quatre *smiles* school uniforms
Duo:*smiles* so where’s mine
Heero: no time. It isn’t safe for us or the Sanc kingdom for us to be here anymore.
Duo: what? Where are we going then? Back into outer space?
Heero: maybe not. It seems that Relina knows c.s. she’s going to try to make contact.
Duo: c.s? I thought c.s was dead
Heero: I think that’s because that’s how c.s wanted it.
Quatre: Relina is going to see if we can team up with c.s.
Heero: c.s is an amazing strategist. We can plan a battle that will really hurt oz.
Duo : sounds good I’m getting tired of these hit and run missions.
Heero: Relina should be making contact tonight

*The ball at Relina's. She is standing with Noin, their eyes are watching for chelle, Dorothy’s eyes are on them.*
Noin: I’m sure she'll be here at any moment
Relina: yes, Noin. Chelle Lee will come.
A woman appears through the crowd. Its chelle. She heads for Relina
Chelle:*reaching Relina, kisses her cheek* Relina
Relina:*does the same* it is so good to see you. It has been far too long
Chelle: it has hasn’t it? *smiles* I've been ever so busy
*the two eye each other*
Relina: I have made some wonderful changes throughout the palace. I must take you on a tour.
Chelle: that would be lovely
Relina:*quietly to Noin* make sure we aren’t followed
*Noin nods and the two women stroll off smiling and making pleasant conversation. They go upstairs to Relinas bedroom . she grabs a pen and paper on it she writes "Gundam pilots. Need help" and hands it to chelle. She reads it then looks up at Relina*
Chelle:*quietly* this is the first time you have asked anything of me. I will gladly take them. How many?
Relina:*also quiet*three so far.
Chelle:*nods* it would probably be for the best to split them up for the journey to my place. They all get caught together….OK send them an hour or so apart on foot tonight. Ill be expecting them
Relina: you’re going to use them to win your war aren’t you?
Chelle: it’s not just my war Relina. People are dieing, suffering. Even you know oz has got to be stopped
Relina: *bows her head* I know…….Can you win this war?
Chelle: between the Trez faction, the rebels and now the Gundams…I will crush oz.
Relina just stay alive. Keep them alive…..its Heero….
Chelle: *puts a hand on her shoulder* you don’t need to say anymore.
Relina:*pause*tonight then.
Chelle*grins* ill wait up

*They return to the party and are approached by Dorothy*
Dorothy: miss Relina, I was wondering if you would introduce me to your friend
Relina: certainly. Dorothy this is chelle lee, a writer friend of mine
Dorothy: oh a writer
Chelle*fains embarrassment* just a few books
Dorothy : wait you’re the young romance novelist? Child protégé to your mother wernt you?
Chelle: yes. Thank you
Dorothy: it must be so wonderful to be famous.
Chelle: it has its benefits
Relina: Dorothy is an ambassador from the Romefeller Foundation
Chelle: really? How intriguing*smiles* now that must have it has its benefits
Dorothy: I'm just very interested to learn from Miss Relina *wicked smile*

*Later Relina and Noin go below to instruct the pilots. Noin is carrying three data pads for them. She hands them out as Relina explains*
Relina: c.s has agreed to take you in. all of you.
Heero: when?
Relina: you’ll have to leave here at once. You must go individually and on foot. It could be near dawn before you arrive. These data pads give you the coordinates you need to get to the house.
Duo:*turning on his pad* my Gundam isn’t far from there. It’s only about three hours away hiking.
Quatre: thank you Miss Relina. I promise that if anything happens here in the Sanq kingdom we will be here.
Relina: thank you Quatre, I know.
Dou: *sticks out his hand to shake* good meeting ya Miss Relina. Noin
Noin: be safe all of you
*Relina and Heero stare at each other*
Relina: take care Heero
Heero: and you Relina
*Quatre and duo move away . Heero lingers a moment starring at Relina. Then he too walks away the women watch them disappear one by one*
Noin: they’ll be okay Miss Relina. They know what they're doing*She just stares after them*

*chelle is home now and has ditched the party duds for all black guie. Black wrestling shoes. Hair in a ponytail with 3 little braids(her usual clothes and hairstyle) a beer and a gun is by her side as she sits hacking through her computer. She is typing furiously away for a moment then stops to read. One by one the boys and their Gundam flash across the screen in a flurry of information.*
Chelle:*readind aloud softly* Gundam pilot Heero Yuy…*reads flash of screen* Duo Maxwell*reads/new info* Quatre Raberba Winner*same*Trowa Barton Chang Wufie …..*she reclines and puts her gun on her lap.* now this oughta be a load of fun. *sighs* at least I have the god damned Gundams and their pilots now. Maybe now I can do some real damage to oz. Oz must be destroyed

Quatre is coming through the woods just a way up from the border. He is following his data pad when he hears noise behind him. 2 oz soldiers jump out and they brawl. Just before he is subdued and rendered unconscious he smashes the data pad with the heel of his shoe so it can’t be used or traced .

*Noin is at the computer below.*
Noin: the Gundam pilots have left the Sanq kingdom
Zechs: it is for the best. Romefeller is just looking for an excuse to invade you. Miss Noin...how is Relina?
Noin: she's a strong girl, Zechs. She is handling everything that Romefeller has thrown at her so far. *pause* What is going on up there? I heard that Lady Une has been killed.
Zechs : its true that she has been shot, but she is being escorted back to earth...back to Treize.
Noin: do you know when you will be coming back to earth?
Zechs: I will be back when I'm finished here. I have been approached by a group in need of a leader. Colony rebels willing to stand up to Romefeller. They need me here. You just take care of Relina for me.
Noin: don't worry, I will

*In the darkness of the woods just a field away from chelle's house, Heero meets up with duo. They are in the woods looking at the house. It is dark, except for computer light in one window*
Heero: there it is
Duo: new home? Not too shabby.
Heero*looks behind them* I haven’t heard Quatre yet.
Dou: I’m sure hell be along……man, I’m hungry again. Hope c. s. has got something good to eat

Heero:*looks back at the house* one at a time. Well pair up outside and go in together. *he pulls out his gun* I hope Relina's right about this
Duo:*nervous* do you think she was set up? Could this be a trap?
Heero: lets hope not.
*Heero darts off toward the house. In a minute Duo is behind him. they meet at the door which they discover unlocked. They look at each other suspiciously for a moment. They enter the house silently. Slowly they make their way to the stairs. Room with computer on door is closed over. Heero motions to Duo that they will go on 3 guns drawn. 1 2 3 They bust into the room and put their guns on chelle at the computer, but she also has a gun and points it at Heero as she stands up *

Heero: are you the c.s. operative?
Chelle: Heero Yuy. Take that gun off of me.
Heero: you first
Chelle: no, you first. This is my house. My rules, pal. Remember you’re a guest.
Heero:*a bit surprised . in a moment he starts to lower his gun duo does as well.* Relina said you might be needing some help.
Chelle: *lowers her gun chuckles* I dunno if that’s exactly what she said. Actually I don’t think she was real happy about me getting my hands on you guys. *smiles* now there’s gonna be a war. And now its gonna be fair.
Duo:*confused* c.s. is a woman? Why didn’t you guys tell me it was another woman?
Chelle:*attitude* do you have a problem with that Mr. Maxwell?
Duo:*smiling* sorry, I didn’t know. From what I hear you’re one of the best commanders the rebels have ever had
Chelle: really? How fascinating.
Duo:*realizes he’s being picked on. disgruntled* well, that’s what I heard. *guilting her* it was just a surprise to me that c.s, one of my idols was ..well….I always pictured you as a man
Chelle: *relaxes* thanks. Actually….most of my good moves I got from my father. he was the most impressive military mind the alliance ever saw. *pauses* that’s why he’s dead. That’s why I’m careful.
Heero: I guess we’ve come to the right place
Chelle: I think that you have
Heero: do you have a plan that involves the Gundams
Chelle: you bet I do . I’m just waiting for the right time……all of the troops are readying…..the Trez faction and oz are about to go head to head……….oh yes. I have a plan. It’s just going to take a little more time.*she sits back down at the computer and puts her gun in her desk. Turns chair to face them.*
Heero: how do you relay all of this information?*he sits on the edge of the bed, Duo leans against the tall dresser*
Chelle: I have spies everywhere. Inside the Romefeller foundation, the Trez faction…and I have a great deal of control when it comes to the rebel army’s here and in space. I have established a secure link to my computer, everything is in code. I meet with my contacts often….nobody knows what I’m up to. The world sees me as the fem. fatal romance novelist. It gets me where I need to be so I can’t complain
Heero: it’s a good cover. I wouldn’t suspect you.
Chelle: the novels are actually my mothers. She had at least twenty of the things laying around here when she died. None of them were published so I took them on as my own.
Duo:*nodds approval* sounds like a pretty convenient set up. You play the lady in distress and get all the information you need.
Chelle: something like that
Heero: are you still drawing up the tactical plans for the rebels in their battles against Oz?
Chelle:*nods*here and in outer space……unfortunately were outnumbered and outgunned… at least we were until now
Heero: so you can use the Gundam to win battles against oz?
Chelle : I can use the Gundam to destroy oz…like I said it’s only a matter of time.
*Heero studies her, but duo is studying her in a different way. He is fascinated. She stares at Heero then duo, her gaze on duo is equally intent…….something’s up?*


*the next day…………. It is morning and Quatre still has not arrived. Duo is passed out on the couch snoring, Heero is watching a news broadcast when chelle comes into the room. She stops and looks at the t.v.*
anchorman: the Romefeller foundation announced this morning that they have taken custody of one of the rouge Gundam pilots. Execution will be broadcast live today at noon.........
chelle: What? Oh shit!
Heero: they've got Quatre
Chelle: damnit!...not for long they don't.
Duo:*half asleep* hey, what's going on?
Heero: Romefellers got Quatre
Duo:*sits up* huh?
Chelle: give me 5 minutes and ill find out where he is.....hey, one of you guys make some coffee. I think faster on a caffeine buzz*she turns and runs back up the stairs*
Heero: she better figure out where he is quick*looks at watch* they're going to execute him in 5 hours. Duo, make the coffee. I'm going to see if she can get the information we need*he goes up behind her*
Duo: great. What a way to start the morning.

*upstairs she is furiously away on the computer she stops for a minute and sits back to read the screen. Heero is standing behind her*

chelle: it should only take a few minutes....
Heero: do you have a plan?
Chelle: yeah, we go in and get him.
Heero: with the Gundams?
Chelle: no, I don't want them to be seen anywhere near here. I have a few Aries laying around. Well use them to infiltrate the compound and create a diversion...then well slip out the back door.
Duo:*coming in to join them* sounds good. That way we don't show our hand just yet
Chelle: that way they wont see it as a Gundam pilot rescue, they'll think it was the rebels.*sighs* of course I will have to get some back up.....I think people are going to die today
Heero: yeah, but were going to take as many oz troops out with us as we can.
Duo: what backup?
Chelle: there are some rebel forces in the woods nearby, maybe 15 Aries at most and some ground troops, they'll have to go in with us.
Heero: and you can coordinate this?
Chelle: if they have Quatre where I think they do*something on screen* yep thought so. Beta base three. 20 miles from here.*shes on the keyboard again* its not usually too heavily guarded, but with them having a Gundam pilot there you can be sure they are at least double their usual forces.*she types more*
Heero: they probably expect a rescue attempt then
Chelle: they only know of 2 Gundams here on earth...they might be expecting zero one
Heero: if its zero one they want, its zero one they'll get
Chelle: and just how do you plan to hide zero after the fight? They'll try to track you
Heero: you leave that to me. You guys take the Aries and go with the rebel forces
Chelle:*cuts him off* well attack from behind right after your initial assault.*man appears on screen*
Man: general zol here. Cs? Is that you?
Chelle: situation critical. We are attacking beta base 3 at 11 hundred hours from the south. Can you have troops in position ?
Man: can do Cs. Will you be doing any fighting today
Chelle: sure thing Zol, just let me have my coffee. Meet you at the rendezvous point alpha three niner in two hours. Cs off*she terminates communication*
Duo: its gonna be one of those days...
Chelle:*turns and smiles at him* naw, it will be a piece of cake. Consider it your morning exercise.


*Relina is sitting at her desk thinking to herself*
Relina: *thinking* with Treize no longer the leader of the Oz organization, Romefeller is even more out of control. I know that they want to invade the Sanq kingdom. I am a threat to their means of war. Other countries are trying to be more like us. *closes eyes* Relina....stay strong. *opens eyes* Heero...

*We see Quatre being held in a cell. He's sitting on the bunk eyes closed.*
Quatre:*thinking to himself* at least they wont be able to find the others. I destroyed the data pad.....they plan to kill me at noon. I wonder if Heero and Duo will get me out of this one..............

*We see Heero going after zero one. He gets in and fires it up, taking off to attack *

*We see chelle and Duo pull up in a jeep to meet up with the rebels. There is a lot of hurrying as troops are loading into their suits.*
Zol: saved
a couple of Aries for ya. How many? just the two of ya? Chelle:*theyre all running to their suits* yeah.
Zol:*points* take those two
Chelle: OK, everyone get ready to follow me.
Zol: what's the mission objective?
Chelle:*over her shoulder as she goes to her suit* we have to save the Gundam pilot from execution. He's on our team now.....


The Battle......... Heero in zero one has begun his attack. Dolls are out in force to stop him. suddenly the fleet of Aries suits arrives.

Various shot of our pilots fighting and kicking ass. Duos Aries is hit bad by a doll, chelle turns around and blows it up before it can hit him again.
Chelle: Duo! Get out of that suite and get in there and get Quatre. The ground troops are moving in . I'll cover you.
Duo: right...just one thing*he arms the self detonate* get clear!

I'm gonna take the roof off of this place. *he gets out and runs/his Aries explodes as he's running into the base a doll targets him. chelle blows it away before it can fire.*
The battle is in full boogie. Duo enters the compound. after some sneaking around he finds 4 guards trying to lead Quatre to a shuttle. Duo opens fire and kills them all, but not before taking a grazing of a bullet on his left arm
Quatre: Duo!

Duo: come on Quatre, let's get out of here! *they run through the place, it's crumbling down around their ears. Finally they make it outside. A doll aims at them, zero one comes up behind it and cuts it down before it can do any firing. The two run for the rebels. Duo finds a motorcycle and him and Quatre hop on and start to flee. Heero continues to wipe out the dolls and the rebels begin their retreat.*
Chelle: fall back everyone, the dolls are defeated and the troops cant follow . Heero, come on lets go! Hit and run baby! Just how I like it!
Heero: don't worry about me. I'll cover your retreat. *to himself* I will make short work out of what's left of this base.

The Aries take off, chelle sees Duo and Quatre
Chelle: Duo, get back to the jeep ASAP. We have to get outta here before this place is crawling with oz soldiers!
Duo: I'm on it!
Quatre: what about Heero?
Chelle: he's got it under control. He'll meet us back at base.

Return
