The year is A.C. 198. One year has passed since the defeat of the evil ambitions of Dekim Barton and Maremaia Khushrenada. Maremaia has accepted an advisory role in the senate of the EarthSphere Unified Nation. Relena Darlain's move toward peace has made considerable progress in the last year, but peace operations are about to come to a screeching halt...
The distinct buzz of conversation emanated from the innards of the EarthSphere senate. There was nothing peculiar in and of itself in this fact. It was a perfectly ordinary day in the world capital. The sun shined brightly overhead, the birds sang, and yet the people were uneasy.
"Senators! I beg of you! Do not cease effort now of all times!" pleaded Relena.
The senate made no move to acknoledge her statement. They continued to decidely ignore her. It had been such as this for some time now. The senators were merely tired of working for peace. Their quiet rebellion was led by none other than Count Arrington, the new ruler of the Sanc Kingdom, Relena's birthplace.
"Miss Relena, we have not recognized you, therefore your statement is irrelevant," remarked Colonel Zepf rather dolefully. Zepf was an old war hero. He was balding, overweight, and had a low droning voice. If Arrington was one leader of the resistance, Zepf was the other. The two worked in unison to negate the autority of Relena.
"Colonel Zepf! You forget your place!" began Maremaia.
"This is getting out of hand," stated Heero Yuy. "The senate is hiding something."
"Normally, I'd agree with ya buddy, but what would they gain?" replied Duo Maxwell.
The pair were standing in the upper balcony overseeing the precedings with Wufei Chang, Quatre Winter, and Trowa Barton, the other original pilots of the first Operation Meteor.
"Money," answered Trowa. "That's all these blind politicians care about."
"No arguements here, but doesn't war cost more than peace?" said Duo.
"Not if there is power to be gained. In the long run, they would be richer," remarked Quatre.
"I'm sick of this lack of political emotion. We need to pull this out by the roots now! Before it grows strong!" stated Wufei.
"Our era is over. It's time for Earth and its people to fend for themselves," remarked Quatre.
