In the darkened control room, two preventer elites sat in the shadows, deep in the middle of a game of poker. The dim lighting of a desklamp poorly illuminated their cards, but they were content, nonetheless, to enjoy a little of what they considdered much needed down time. The security systems of the Peacecraft/Dorlan mansion was state of the art.
The best inventors and strategists had been gathered from around the world to construct what had been determined as the most state-of-the-art, foolproof, security system ever known to any important official's mansion. Having worked this shift on the Vice Foreign Minister's security detail for several years, these two men felt certain that no one, short of a criminal mastermind, could ever even hope to breech even stage one of the defenses.
Laser sensers, tripwires, motion-activated security cameras,-fully equiped with nightvision and heatvision-were posted inconspicuously thoughout the mansion and the grounds making them almost imppossible to avoid. If, by some slim chance someone made it past such high-tech equipment undetected, they would then find various electric traps set in key areas to help minimze the risk of an attack by taking the possible assailant off-guard.
As the head of preventers, and, therefore, the person ultimately charged with the young politician's safety, Commander Une had suggested the added measure of gigantic guard dogs being posted at each entrance to the grounds. The Vice Foreign Minister, however, being an animal lover, protested such measures saying that to do so is animal cruelty. As a compromise, the cammander was able to get the young politician to agree to around the clock security detail, hence the reason the aforementioned men still sat diligently at their posts...sort of.
Yes, the system was indeed perfect in every man made way, but unfortunately, there was one flaw. One tiny kink existed in the ingenious masterpiece that no one truly foresaw. While man can make and design the most remarkable, flawless, and inequivable creations, such discoveries are powered by the desires of human nature to improve and display the amazing fruits of their labor. The greatest downfall of the master plan, however, was exactly that. Human Nature. And as the door soundlessly opened, the security guards soon learned the power of that undeniable truth.

Duo Maxwell drove up the enlongated drive of the famous ancestral home of the Dorlan family line. He, himself, had always felt so out of place in such a grand, elegant structure. Just the furniture alone cost more than he would ever see in his entire lifetime, a fact which did not go unnoticed the first time he had seen the residence of his charge. Relena had, in time, helped him acclimate to the new surroundings, making him feel at home even while on the job.
Relena had not been initially a friend of his at the time he had joined up with the preventers. After the Barton Foundation incident in A.C. 196, he and several of his gundam conrades decided that joining the new nation's defense force would be a perfect way to earn a living, while putting their well-developed skills to good use. Having been too skilled to fit into the small class of preventer elites, a new division was created just for the Gundam pilots, giving him, and the other boys, the honored ranks of generals. As luck would have it, the four that joined were added immediately onto Relena's security detail. admittedly, he was, at first, skeptical about his new assignment. Relena had been the strangest girl he'd ever known, with a fire and determination strong enough to sweep Romefeller by storm, and unify the faction with a single speech.
Over time, he slowly grew to know her better. The two would talk and joke around as if there were no distinction between Princess and Street Urchin, Politician and soldier. Soon, they were inviting each other over for dinner where he found out that Hilde, his girlfriend at the time, had previously met The young Vice Minister on the battleship Libra. Soon after that, their friendships were cemented into place, forming bonds of trust that would never be broken. Relena and his wife still enjoy talking whenever possible. They had endured pregnancies at the same time and helped eachother cope with the life changes that occured soon after. Indeed, the princess had charmed her way into the lives of all the pilots, even Wufei, though he'd be loath to admit it. Her child had, inevitably, done the same.
Relena was now a devoted full-time mother and politician; something they all admired about the young woman. He smiled as he pictured little Ammy at her last party. The spitting image of her mother, she had worn a pink frilly dress with matching shoes and hair clips. As the happy birthday song ended, she took a deep breath and blew out her candles, the image of her comical facial expression imprinted into his mind. She had refused to be served first, letting everyone have a piece before her. She was so like her mother, but one look into her deep blue eyes told him that the child also had received some of her inner strength from her father. He smiled and ran a hand through his long bangs. "Heero buddy, you don't know what you're missing."
As he pulled into the garage, something didn't feel right. He parked and stepped out, drawing his gun from his holster. He advanced with the silent speed and precision that years of practice and experience had awarded him. The halls were darker than normal, and, upon further inspection, the security divices on the walls had been disabled. That alone was not an easy task which showed that whomever he was up against was incredibly skilled. He swore under hs breath as he made his way towards the security room. The door was jarred open and he cautiously snuck to the side, waiting. Watching. Listening for any movement inside. In one swift move, he threw the door open and found the night guards lying motionless on the ground, cards and coffee strung chaotically accross the room. He didn't kneal down to check their pulses. He didn't need to.
His eyes made a quick sweep of the monitors noting the fuzz and staic of the tampered signals of every screen, except one: the one to Relena's hall. Swearing again, he tore out of the control room, heart in his throat, a prayer on his lips for the safety of both mother and child. As he neared the hall, he cocked his gun, approaching the door with as much speed as caution would allow. Mentally counting to three, he lept forward, kicked the door in and stopped dead in his tracks, a look of pure shock on his normally jovial face...
