?It?s nice to see you Mr. Peacecraft. How are you doing today??
?Fine. And yourself??
?Terrific. Things just seem to be going my way. By the way, how is Miss Relena doing??
?She?s just fine. She?ll be coming back to meetings soon hopefully. I just want her to be fully recovered first.?
?I completely understand, but that may take a while.? Mr. Lee passes Milliardo and continues on his way.
?There?s something odd about him.?

?I want you to teach me how to fight in a Gundam.?
?Why??
?Well, it?s just that everyone else is helping out with the effort and I feel like I?m doing nothing. Then I thought about helping Heero and I thought that maybe I could help you guys fight the enemy and then maybe we could get him back.?
?That?s not a bad idea. You do have some kind of power over him and with your Gundam, we may have the advantage. All we have to do is fix it a bit and teach you some basics. Alright, but we have to keep this a secret because if anyone finds out, especially Zechs, I?m done for.?
?It?s a deal.? The two friends shake hands and Reli leaves.
?WE might just be able to win this war after all.?

Hidden Desire


Reli sits in a simulation cockpit, with a helmet over her head and hooked up to many different machines. ?Hey Reli, are you ready?? Duo asks standing by the computer next to Trowa. She nods her head yes and Duo starts the machine up. In a matter of seconds, Reli starts her simulation, destroying most of the suits. Duo looks at the computer and watches. ?She?s not that bad for a beginner. Should we try to make it a bit more difficult??
?Let?s try,? Trowa responds. Duo types into the computer.

Reli continues to fair well, but suddenly sees more mobile suits appear on her screen. ?What?s going on here?? She continues to fight, but finds it harder to keep up. ?I gotta keep on going. If I can?t make it here, how can I make it during a real battle??

Duo and Trowa continue to watch Reli and see her necklace start to glow again. They look back at the readings and see that her stats have increased greatly. ?Wow, now she?s really kicking butt.?
?I guess sally is right about that necklace. It must somehow make her a stronger fighter.? Suddenly, explosions are heard and they look toward the simulation, which is now sparking. ?Duo, you better shut it down.?
?Okay.? He shuts it down in time and Reli takes off the helmet.
?What happened??
?The simulation short circuited. You were too good for it.?
?When can you get it fixed??
?Hopefully soon.?
?Good. When it?s done, we?ll continue. I need to get better.?
?You?re already great Reli, why do you need more??
?With the power that the enemy has, I need to be stronger.?

The dark figure sits in his chair, looking out at the stars. ?Sir, how are you doing??
?I?m very tired Katsumi. I don?t think I can keep with these foolish politicians. They think they know everything. I have to get out somehow, without letting others who I really am.?
?Why don?t you plan some kind of staged kidnapping or violent action, like you did with the Vice Foreign Minister? They?ll think the same group was behind it.?
?That?s an excellent idea. It will have to take a lot of planning though.?
?I?ll take care of it. You just rest sir.?
?Thank you Katsumi.?

Hilde walks down one of the halls toward her room when she hears a rustling from a nearby room. She continues down and sees Duo rummaging through Reli?s room.
?Duo, what are you doing in there?
?Huh?? HE stops what he?s doing and looks toward Hilde. ?Shhhh! Be quiet.? She enters the room as her continues his mission.
?Why do I have to be quiet and why are you looking through Relena?s stuff??
?I?m looking for something.?
?What??
?I don?t know. You see, Reli came the other day and asked me to help her train to be a pilot. Today, we started and she did great, so we made it harder, and she did so well, that she kind of broke the machine. Then she said she wanted it to be fixed quickly so she could get back to training. But then I asked her why because she was already so good, and then she said she had to be better if she wanted to be of any good, And what I want to know, is why the sudden want to fight.?
?That?s a good question. I wouldn?t think she wanted too.?
?Exactly, so I?m looking for a clue or something.? He looks through another drawer and finds the black box. He opens it to show the diamond Gundam necklace. ?Pretty.? Then he sees a bit of white sticking out form somewhere. He pulls at it and a piece of paper comes out. ?I think I found something.? Hilde rushes over to him and they both sit on the bed.
?So, what does it say??


?Dear Relena, I hope that everything is going all right for you, but protecting the peace is a very important job. I just want to tell you that I will always be there to help you and protect you. I will always make sure that everything you want comes true. I hope that you enjoy your birthday and your future. Your Winged Knight in shining armor, Heero.?
?I never imagined that Heero could write anything that romantic.?
?I know. I guess this is why Reli wants to learn, so she can help bring back Heero.?
?Well, that sounds like a good reason to me, but we have to put this stuff back now. If anyone sees us we?re screwed.?
?I gotta tell the others about this.?

?Katsumi, how are the preparations doing??
?Everything is fine sir. WE are ready at anytime.?
?Good. I want to get this done at the next big meeting.?

?Come on Duo. We have to do other things.?
?Okay. I asked everyone here because we gotta help Reli. You see, she came up to me the other day and asked me to help her learn how to be a pilot and I accepted.?
?Duo, what were you thinking? She?s supposed to be a pacifist.?
?And you promised Reli that you wouldn?t tell anyone.?
?I know, but this is Reli, not Relena. There is a difference and anyways, it will turn out better if we all help. She doing really well and if we can just give her more practice, we may have a chance of beating the enemy with her and her Gundam. It a good cause.?
?It would be an advantage for us, since of course the enemy has Heero now.?
?But what about Zechs??
?We can?t tell him anything, because if he finds out, he?ll kill all of us.?
?So, we just have to help Reli train without Zechs knowing. Sounds simple enough.? Suddenly a loud siren is heard.
?Attention crew. There is a group of enemy mobile suits heading our way, including Wing Zero. All pilots should report to the launch area and will Reli please report to the bridge.?

Reli workouts in the gym, knocking the sand out of the punching bag. She kicks then punches and continues the routine. ?I need?to get?stronger?I need? to ?.be?the best pilot.? Suddenly she hears a loud siren.
?Attention crew. There is a group of enemy mobile suits heading our way, including Wing Zero. All pilots should report to the launch area and will Reli please report to the bridge.? She stops her punching and runs out the door.

The four gundams jet out of the ship and head toward the advancing mobile suits. ?SO Howard, what?s going on??
?I?m not really sure. All I can say is that Heero is bringing a huge number of mobile suits our way.?
?How many??
?About 300.?
?Man, where do these guys get all these suits??
?Don?t know, but we gotta get them. Who?s going to take Heero??

Reli runs on to the bridge and approaches Howard. ?What is it Howard??
?I want to know if you can help us out. YOU know the enemy best of all, so I want you here reporting to the gundams what they should do. You can take a seat over there.? HE points to a seat only a few inches away.
?Okay.? She takes a seat and puts on a headset.

Wufei extends his dragonhead, but Heero quickly moves away and retaliates with his beam saber. ?Hey Wufei, how are you doing??
?I?m fine, for now, but you can come and try to help me out.?
?Sorry, but we?re a bit busy here ourselves. These suits are really putting up a fight.?
?Howard, please tell us you have something we can do.? HE takes his scythe and slices another suit.
?Sorry Duo, but I got nothing.?
?I think I do.?
?Reli, is that you??
?Yeah, I?m helping out. Now, the enemy is using an alpha diversion tactic.?
?What??
?Listen, it starts out with the most powerful mobile suit in front and then he keeps the strongest one busy. Then the suits are able to fight to fight the weaker ones without fear of being destroyed by the stronger one.?
?So what should we do?? Go toward the area where Heero and Wufei are fighting. The mobile suits will follow and try to stop you, but don?t let them. Then start to battle around them and take turns fighting Heero, so when one gets tired, he could take a break by fighting the easier ones. But make sure once in a while when battling Heero, you target another mobile suit.?
?Got it.?

Heero takes another shot at Wufei and misses, but gets hit from behind. He turns around to see Duo and when he looks to where Wufei is, he isn?t there. ?Where did he go?? Duo charges straight for him, but he manages to block him in time.

?Sir, we seem to have a huge problem.?
?What is it now??
?IT seems that somehow the enemy has figures out our plan and is trying to take it apart.?
?But how? The girl! She must still remember. Alright, abort the mission, bring all suits back.?
?Yes sir.?
?It looks like that girl is going to need another shock.?

?Hey we didn?t do so bad did we??
?If it wasn?t for Reli, we may not of come out so easily.?
?Hey, how are you guys??
?Great, thanks to you.?
?NO problem. Now I was talking to Howard and we decided that I should write some kind of program for you guys, so you know some enemy tactics and how to counter them. It should be done in about a day. But first, is the machine fixed? I want to start up again.?

Reli and the rest of the Gundam gang decide to go out to the circus for a day of fun, but deep memories are uprooted for Reli. At a nearby conference, another horrible accident happens with Mr. Lee and Milliardo. Next time on Gundam Wing: Crisis- A trip to the Circus.
