I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. I had exams... Not fun.
But I'm back now, and I'm ready to add on.

Maeko suddenly burst from the base, Alex's Gundam behind hers. "Are you okay, Reku?!" she demanded.
"Uh, yeah!" he said, a little insulted. "Sorry, babe, but I'm really all right for now." His eyes turned to pleading. "I promise I'll be a good boy and take my medicine later! Come on, Maeko!"
Maeko's lower lip pouted. "You're hurt."

Galfis turned heated eyes to Sage Gundam. "You... I know you."
"Rosaan, I want you to leave."
Rosaan blinked. "Gallian... Gallian, please don't ask me to. I don't want to leave you."
"The others need your help. I'll be fine."
"Gallian--"
"GO!" he shouted.
Rosaan blinked, unsure of both her feelings and the man's, but did as asked and fled the hangar.
Gallian watched her leave and then turned back to Galfis. "Like hell you know me."
Galfis laughed, a sinister rumble not entirely a chuckle. "Do not you remember? Or do you merely wish to forget?"
"Forget what?" he asked. "Do not play with me." To emphasize his command, he held Sage Gundam's buster rifle at ready.
Galfis's eyes intensified with a insane glaze. "That day... Long ago in Tokyo... You were very young then. Not much older than thirteen, no?"
His hand clenched on the power controls. "That will not get to me. Whatever you know about my past will not effect me, Galfis."
"Perhaps not," he allowed with a thoughtful nod. "But what about who is in that part. Or what about..." He smiled. "...the person who initiated it?"
His grip loosened in surprise. "What?"
"Zusa was a good man," admitted Morta. "But he was a foolish one. Stop my dream? The dream where power will organize the world and end its spiraling chaos?" He smirked. "With me at the helm, of course."
"You're mad. How did you know my father?"
He shrugged. "He and Mierkler were my associates. We actually worked quite near Relena Peacecraft. The foolish woman had me dreading coming to work each day of course. Her ideals...what trash." He smiled then, as if remembering something.
"Rosaan. Is she your woman, Derekai Zusa?"
He stiffened at being addressed by his birth name. "Do not speak of her," he ordered softly.
"She is quite beautiful now. Had I more time, I'm sure I could've scheduled a private, er...meeting with her." He grinned as Gallian growled. "Does that bother you? It should bother you more that she helped me kill your parents."
"You forced her to do it. She had to survive," he growled out lowly.
"Yes, and then she fell in love with you." He spat. "I'd have thought the woman had more taste than to love an orphaned ruffian. And you, to love a whore such as her--"
His sentence was cut off from the blood in his throat as Gallian shoved him into the wall.
"You will never say that about her again. You bastard..." Gallian's eyes narrowed. "I will kill you."
