There is no humor in what had happened to all those innocent people that have lost their lives and those who were also affected by this tragedy. I can do nothing from where I am, but to help you people laugh and keep those smiles that your loved ones adored, I wrote more of this. This is the only thing I can do and I hope that this will help those smiles to remain on your faces. And as always, please email me with your comments at quatre_chan5@hotmail.com.

"Zero, use your Vulcan Shot attack!"

"Wing!" it fired its bullets.

"Quatre-Chan, cast Dragon's Protection!"

"Light of dragons come to my aid, Dragon's Protection!" a green light appeared around the small dragon and it disintegrated the bullets once they had made contact with the shield.

"Argh. Zero, you have to go for close range attacks. Attack with your beam saber!"

"Zerrrrroooooooo!!!!!!!" it lunged forward.

"Quatre-Chan, avoid all the swipes of that sword."

"Gottcha!" She moved back and forth, dodging each one of the swipes with little effort.

"Heero, Zero looks like its getting tired." Duo whispered, "Maybe you should just call it back."

"Silence, Maxwell!" the onyx-eyed boy glared at his fellow gym leader, "This is our fight."

"Zero, you have to stop! It's not working."

It didn't listen.

"And now for the finale. Quatre-Chan!"

"Understood!" she made her double edge sword appear, "Divine assault, Nebelung Valesti!!!" she threw her double edge sword, causing it to run through Wing Zero.

"Zero!!"

The mech fell to the ground once the sword had vanished. Merin looked at the fallen creature, the raised her right hand, "Wing Zero is unable to battle. WuFei is the winner."

Heero ran into the middle of the arena and took his friend into his arms, "Zero.. ."

It opened its eyes a little ways, "Wi.. . ng.. ."

"Hn." The Chinese boy grunted as he picked Quatre-Chan up off the floor, "You've got to become a better trainer. At this rate you might as well give up and let some other person take up this mission. Merin, lets go."

"Right.. ." she took one more look at the wounded Gundammon and its trainer before following her husband back to their house.

"Let's take it to Nurse Sally." Trowa said in a quiet voice.

This was indeed a bad day for Heero and his companions. The Japanese trainer left the gym not even looking back and the others followed silently. Hee-Chan watched their retreating bodies and as she did so she felt a small pang in her heart. "How could you do that, Quatre-Chan? You almost killed it.. ." a few tears made its way down her cheeks, "I know Heero won't give up. Even though I hate to do this, it's the only chance that Heero-Chan has of winning. Because I know he'll use Zero again." She took out the necklace that she wore and looked at the silver angel wing, "This is his last chance."

Quatre-Chan sat on the end of her bed with her head downcast. 'How could I have done that? Those were the people that had brought me back here so I wouldn't be in any kind of danger. And how do I repay them.. . I end up almost killing that sweet little mech.'

"Quatre-Chan?"

She looked up to see her trainer kneeling in front of her, "Huh?"

"I called Sally and she said that Wing Zero is doing all right."

"That still doesn't make me any happier."

"I know, but you only did what I told you to do."

"You only shouted my name. I did the attack on my own."

He sighed, "But in the back of your mind, did you not hear my voice saying to do that?"

"Yeah."

"Then don't be so sad."  He held out a bottle of soda, "Here."

"Dr. Pepper!!" the small dragon grabbed the bottle from the Chinese boy and started to chug it.

~~~

The Gundammon Center was rather quiet. The four trainers sat in the waiting area without saying one word to each other. Heero sat in his seat, his eyes locked onto the back room and his hand was made into a fist. "Damn that dragon!!"

"Heero, calm, down." Duo sat next the infuriated trainer, "Blaming Q-Chan isn't gonna help. She just did what WuFei told her to do."

"Heero?"

The Japanese boy looked up to see Merin standing before him, "What do you want?"

"The same thing as you. I want you to be the Gundammon Master. And in order to do that, you'll need to know the secret to defeat Quatre-Chan."

"I thought that gym leaders weren't supposed to help out trainers in gym matches."

"They aren't. But technically I'm not a gym leader. And I know that WuFei will think that this is dishonorable, but I can't stand seeing Relena as the master."

"Okay, so how do I defeat this dragon?"

"By speed. She maybe fast, but if Zero were to evolve there will be no stopping you."

"Does it evolve by level?"

"No, you have to use an angel stone."

"Where can I get one?"

"You can't." Quatre interrupted, "No one has seen any stones for the past five years."

Merin stopped and pondered the blonde's statement, "Then perhaps you could barrow a Gundammon that is known for its speed. Maybe Duo will lend you D-Hell Kai."

"Zero!"

All eyes were on the back room doors, where Wing Zero stood. Heero walked over to his partner, "Are you saying that you want to battle her again?"

"Zero." It nodded.

"There's a good chance that you'll lose."

It shrugged.

"All right then." He faced the Chinese girl, "Tell your husband that we want a rematch.. . now."

~*~*~*

WuFei stood on his side of the gym with Quatre-Chan and Hee-Chan at his side. Merin stood on the sidelines in the middle. Their eyes locked onto the Japanese trainer and his Wing Zero as they entered the gym.

"So, you really want a rematch? It's been less than two hours since your last failure." The raven-haired leader spoke.

"I'm not afraid. Zero and I have faced many challenges and I swear that one way or another I will get that badge."

"Take your best shot then. You know the rules."

"Let's get this over with." He glanced at the mech by his feet, "Zero, I trust you."

"Zero.. ." It stepped forward.

"Quatre-Chan, you did it before and you can do it again."

"Understood." She stepped forward and she bowed to the little mecha.

Merin raised her hand, "Round two, WuFei VS Heero. Begin!" she lowered arm.

"Zero, use system data!"

"Wing." It shut its eyes and tried to predict the dragon's movement.

"Quatre-Chan, use fire blast!"

"Fire blast!!!!" the flames shot out toward Wing Zero, but the MS moved out of its path.

"Zero use the Vulcan Shot!"

"Zero!" it fired four bullets.

"Quatre-Chan, cast Dragon's Protection!"

She held her hands in front of her, but the bullets were too quick and two of them racked against her arms, one against her right leg and the last one hit her across the face. A small trickle blood made its way down her cheek.

"Quatre-Chan, are you all right?!"

She nodded to her trainer and then glared at the MS, "The last thing I wanted to was hurt you Zero.. ."

"End it now, Quatre-Chan. Use your special attack!"

"Divine assault," the dragon lifted her self into the air and made her double edge sword  appear, "Nebelung Valesti!" she threw down her sword.

"Zero!" the chibi neko shouted then ripped off her necklace and threw it towards the mecha.

A white glow filled the room. Heero's eyes squinted to see what was going on, "Zero?"

WuFei looked at the neko by his feet, "How could you do that, Hee-Chan!?"

"I had no choice. Relena doesn't deserve the title of Gundammon Master."

"Quatre-Chan is already injured. And you just added to the chance that she maybe.. . killed."

"What?!"

"Depending on how well it was trained and how much of a grudge it holds against her, will determine how badly she will be beaten. She doesn't stand a chance now.. ."

The glow vanished and a mech the two pure white angel wings stood in the center.

"Impossible.. ." the small dragon stuttered as she stared in disbelief.

"Zero, use focus movement!"

"Kai." It shut its eyes and could clearly see Quatre-Chan's next move and with that prediction, it took out its beam saber. The MS brought the weapon down a pawn the dragon's shoulder.

Quatre-Chan jumped back, gripping her bleeding shoulder. The crimson liquid was seeping through the purple shirt that she wore. Her breathing was heavy and in the back of her mind she wanted to stop fighting.

"Quatre-Chan, stop!" the onyx eyed leader called, "You can't win, you must come back!"

"No.. ."

"What?!"

"I can't quit. That would make me weak."

"Getting killed will make you stupid! You have to stop."

She looked back at her trainer with a small amount of tears in her eyes, "I'm willing to give up my life. If it means that the Mizu gym.. . has its victory. That is justice."

"You're wrong, Quatre-Chan! There is no justice if you winded up dead, do you hear me?"

"You're a good friend, Wu-Chan. And I will do my part as your Gundammon and as your friend to push myself to the limit and make this battle yours.. ." she removed her hand from the wound and held it in the air, "Kaiser Barrier!!!" a large see through dome formed itself around the arena, "Now it's just us."   "Zero.. ." it nodded. It took out its twin beam cannon and fired.

The chibi dragon was hit by one of the blasts. On the other side of the shield, the trainers could see the two creatures fighting with all they had. WuFei watched his Gundammon bleed to the point that she was dazed.

"Quatre-Chan, lower your shield!!!!!!"

"I refuse." She looked ahead and saw that Zero was charging at her with the beam saber. She jumped into the air and lit a ball of flames in her hands, "Hell's Inferno!!" she thew it down, surrounding the mech in flames.

The battle continued on like that. Merin ran over to her husband, "WuFei we have to brake that shield."

"I know, but it's too strong for a human."

Hee-Chan was watching the whole match, with the occasional glance at WuFei and Heero. She fell to her knees, "I'm sorry Quatre-Chan.. ." she whispered, "I didn't want it to happen like this, but I have to stop Relena.. ."

"Nataku, go!" The Chinese girl threw her Gundam Ball.

"Long!"

"Nataku, use Dragon's Fire."

"Shenlong!" it held out its dragon arm, but the flames didn't even make a dent.

"WuFei, that's cheating!!!!!!" the longhaired trainer yelled.

"Duo," Heero glanced at his koibito, then back to the battle, "Merin is trying to save Quatre-Chan. Not help him win this match."

Quatre and Trowa stayed silent as they watched the two creatures battle.

The little dragon was on her knees and at the last moment when she looked up, she was hit in the head with one of Zero's angel wings.

With Quatre-Chan falling to the ground, the barrier shattered.

"Quatre-Chan!!" WuFei ran into the middle of the arena. The chibi ryu lay in a small pool of blood. Her eyes were shut, but she was still breathing.

"Quatre-Chan is unable to battle.. ." Merin said in a semi worried tone as she watched her husband lift the chibi writer off the floor and then out of the gym. she knelt down in front of Hee-Chan, "Go give this Heero. I'm going to check on those two."

"Okay." She walked over to the Japanese trainer, "Here."

"Why did you that?"

"Huh?"

"Zero. Why did you make it evolve?"

"I wanted you to win."

"At the cost of your friend's life?!" the blonde shouted.

"No.. ."

Heero knelt down and faced the chibi kitty, "You want to team up with me, ne?"

"How did?"

"Never mind that. I'll let you come with me, but we are not taking one step further until we find out that Quatre-Chan will be all right."

"Heero," the uni-banged boy stepped forward, "I don't think it would be wise to approach WuFei right now. Or at least with Zero at your side."

"Hn, you're right. Zero, return." He held out a Gundam Ball.

It shook its head.

"Zero."

It shook its head again.

"Fine. I'll wait outside the Gundammon Center then." He looked at his friends, "But please tell me what's going on with her."

"You feel bad." Duo stated rather calmly.

"Yeah.. ."

Narrator: "Well if this isn't a kick in the teeth. Heero has finally won the Honor badge, but was this true honor? And Hee-Chan has a major guilt trip as well. At the cost of her own gain she willingly sacrificed a friend." *shakes his head* "This a dark day. And if things don't get better, everyone will be lost into the darkness."

Fic Author: "Shut up! This is not a horror fic."

Narrator: "I know, but it sounded cool."

Fic Author: *sighs* "Brain. I'm working with my brain."

Author's Brain: 'I don't need to be insulted like that.' *sounds of running and a door slamming is heard*

Fic Author: "Duh.. ."

Narrator: "Well I'm going to look for the author's brain. So while I'm doing that you can check on that poor little dragon."

Quatre-Chan lay in a bed unconscious. WuFei watched his friend rest while in the back of my mind he was blaming him self for the whole mess.

"WuFei?"

"What Merin?"

"Are you angry?"

"Yes and no."

"What?"

"I'm angry at the fact that I let this happen. And I'm not because now that Heero has won he can teach Relena a thing or two."

"What about Hee-Chan?"

He sighed, "I'm not sure. Quatre-Chan would hate me forever if I was made at her, but at the same time how can I not be? She betrayed Quatre-Chan. If you ask me that is NOT friendship."

"I know what you mean. So what are you going to do?"

"Don't know.. ."

"Well for starters you could tell Heero that you're not pissed at him!!"

The two trainers turned their heads and saw the American standing in the doorway. WuFei got up from his seat and approached, "Where is he? I can see that you, Winner and Barton are here."

"He's outside. He thought you might try to kill him and Zero."

The Chinese leader looked down at the floor and saw the chibi neko hiding behind Duo's leg, "What do you think you're doing?"

"Waiting till you leave so I can see my friend."

He shrugged and walked out of the room. Duo blinked, "You know he's taking this losing thing rather well."

"Heero."

The blue eyed trainer glanced to his right and saw the Mizu gym leader, "What?"

Zero looked back and forth between Heero and WuFei. With the last look at the raven-haired boy, he got into a fighting stance. Heero looked his feet, "Zero, stop it."

"It's all right. Listen, I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at myself."

"Why?"

"With Relena being the master, it's a disgrace to all trainers and gym leaders. When you came to battle with me, I thought it was going to be a far fight. The first time it was far, no tricks. The second, Hee-Chan got Zero to evolve and Sally said that it was miracle that she's alive."

"You shouldn't blame yourself. After we see that Quatre-Chan is okay, we'll be going. And that includes Hee-Chan."

"I'm going too. If there's anything I want to see, it's Relena's defeat."

"Hn." Heero nodded and then they walked into the Gundammon Center.

A few days later, the team was back on the road. Quatre-Chan was still in some pain. But it was nothing she couldn't deal with. After a few more steps, Heero suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Heero?" Quatre questioned.

"I hear something.. ."

Then right on cue, a group of Virgos surrounded the trainers. Duo grinned, "Well this should be fun. Haven't fought any battles in a awhile, well at least not that the readers saw." He took out a Gundam Ball, "D-Hell, go!"

"Hell!!"

"Sandrock, you know what to do!"

"Rock!"

"Heavyarms, go!"

"Arms!"

"Nataku, show them your power."

"Shen."

"Hee-Chan, lets see what you can do."

"Roukai!"

"Quatre-Chan, stay put."

"What?!"

"You heard me."

Each attack was truly impressive, but all the creatures were defeated except for Hee-Chan, but she was almost down. She glared at the four MS ahead of her, "Nitro Dagger!!" she shot out four ice arrows and sent them in the MS direction, but these suits were too much. The ice didn't even affect them.

Narrator: "Well looks like I'm here to cut this off for a cliff hanger."

Quatre-Chan: "Like hell you are!" *hits him in the head with her tail*

Narrator: *@_@* "Let's go back to the battle.. ."

One of the Virgos took out a very large beam cannon and aimed it at the little kitty. Hee-Chan backed up into a tree and now she was trapped. 'What do I do? I'm sure Heero has realized that none of my attacks will affect these things.. .'

"Quatre-Chan."

"WuFei?"

"Go."

"Huh?"

"Save your friend."

"Gottcha!" she ran forward and leapt into the air. Lighting a ball of energy between her hands, she aimed for the Virgo right in front of Hee-Chan, "Dragon's light!!" she threw it down and with that one hit, it fainted.

WuFei stepped in front of the whole group. Merin glared at him, "Are you crazy?!"

Duo stopped his foot, "Yeah. How dare you take the spotlight from me and Heero!"

Heero, Quatre and Trowa: *face fault* X_X;;;

"Quatre-Chan, Hee-Chan use your duel tech!"

They nodded. A strange sky blue aura appeared around Hee-Chan, "Powers of the cold, come fourth and freeze the hearts of those who stand before us.. ."

A similar aura appeared around the chibi ryu, "Burning flames of hell come fourth and show these fools what it means to be burning for eternity..."

The two aimed their elemental energies toward the enemy Virgos, "Elemental Eruption!!!"

The other three Virgos fainted. Quatre-Chan jumped onto one of the bodies and held out the peace sign, "Victory!!!"

"WuFei?" Trowa spoke up, "How did you know they could do that?"

"I didn't."

Duo's eyes went a little bug eyed, "You gotta be kiddin.. ."

"Nope."

"WuFei!" Merin walked over to her husband and put her hands around his neck, "You could have gotten us all killed!!"

He broke free from her grasp, "Cool it. Those two are rare Gundammon. They possess rare power. I figured I would try and see what they would do at the command."

Heero sighed, "At any rate. We should almost be there."

Narrator: *looks at fic author* "Is it all right for me to be here now?"

Fic Author: *nods*

Narrator: *clears throat* "After I'm done talking I can guarantee that the trainers will be in the town of Silver. Heero is on his last badge and if he can get this badge he will be able to bring the world revolution!!!"

Fic Author: *shakes her head at the very bad pun*

Narrator: "Um, well he'll be able to kick Relena's butt if he wins, but I have a feeling that this battle won't be like any others.. ."

Captain Obvious: "Plot-pa-plot-plot!!"

Narrator: "You said it Captain Obvious."
