Gundam Wing Meets the Little Prince

Chapter One: Fateful Encounter


“Do you have the coordinates, Duo?”

Quatre asked from behind the cockpit of his mobile suit unit, Sandrock.  

“Sure do buddy.”

Duo answered back as he hopped into his mobile suit, Deathsythe.

“Why do I get the feeling that this is going to be a complete waste of time?”

Heero mentioned curtly as he piloted his mobile suit unit, Wing Gundam, out of the docking bay of Quatre’s home country.

“I have to agree with Heero on this one. I doubt that we will find anything out there.”

Trowa mentioned as he piloted his Gundam unit Heavyarms toward Heero’s.

“I don’t care if we find what we are looking for are not. Something has crashed out there in the desert and it’s our duty to find out what it is. Even if OZ has nothing to do with the foreign objects appearance, it’s a good idea to see what it’s capable of before it causes any real damage.”

Wufei remarked as he followed his two friends out of the docking hanger.

“That’s the right attitude, Wufei! This is just a simple recon mission. It shouldn’t take more than a day, with any luck.”

Quatre piped in as he and Duo met up with the other Gundam pilots, leaving the docking hanger empty. Heero shielded his eyes from the sun as he stared through the cockpit chamber of his mobile suit unit out onto the desert ahead of him. There didn’t seem to be anything out of the ordinary which added to his frustration.

“What did they say this object looked like?”

He barked in an almost inhuman voice. The irritation could not be hidden from his tone, even though he was trying to be professional. Duo sighed and switched on an information screen in his cockpit. He sent the images of the object for the rest of his friends to inspect.

“It’s an asteroid about four feet in length. At least, that’s what the images from space suggested. The funny thing is that no one saw it crash. Something of that size should have made quite an impact. The last place it was seen was here, hovering around this section of the desert and then poof! It just disappears. Talk about weird, eh?”

Wufei frowned and shut off the image transmission.

“I don’t like the sound of that. It could be some type of biological warfare that OZ has cooked up. Has anyone around these parts complained of any sickness since the asteroid was spotted?”

Quatre gestured for the Gundam pilots to follow him over a large sand bank. He shook his head inside his mobile suit unit, even though he knew the rest of the pilots couldn’t see him and felt a little foolish for doing so afterwards.

“No. That’s the strange part. There doesn’t seem to be any ill effects to anyone in the area. No one saw anything, not even an indication of a crash site. If the weapon was biological, it has yet to take effect on the people out here.”

The Gundam pilots followed Quatre into the desert making little comments as they searched the area of the desert where the asteroid was said to have landed. After three hours of searching the Gundam pilots were about to give up when Trowa spotted something rather strange on his radar.

“Wait just a minute guys; there appears to be something moving in fast from the east. Maybe this is what Oz sent down here on that asteroid. I’m going to check it out. Please back me up.”

Trowa rushed toward the area where the object was closing in and the other pilots followed. After only a few minutes travel, Trowa’s Heavyarms ran straight into the object and fell backwards. When he looked up, he saw a young man with golden hair ridding on a strange beast he had never seen before. Not sure what he was up against, he pushed a button in his cockpit that gave a warning signal to the other Gundam pilots. One by one, they cautiously assembled behind Trowa with their weapons ready to fire. Trowa looked into the young man’s eyes. They were the bluest eyes he had ever seen his life. The boy’s hair looked like it was made of the stars. His skin was pale and seemed to have a glow about it. He didn’t look like any human Trowa had ever met in his life. This made him nervous as he opened his cockpit and gestured to the young boy to get off his beast. The young boy obeyed hastily and stared up at Trowa in curiosity. Before Trowa could say anything the boy asked, “Who are you?”

Trowa was caught a little off guard by the question but he politely replied, “I’m…Trowa Barton. You know, I should be asking you that question. What are you doing out here in the middle of the desert all by yourself?”

The boy looked at Trowa curiously and then gave a big smile.

“Oh I am not here all by myself. I brought my friend! See? This is Rewen. He’s a Gluslog. I brought him from my world. He comes in handy while traveling through space, you see. He eats all of the pesky asteroids that get in the way.”

The other Gundam pilots noticed that Trowa seemed to be doing fine, so they drew close to his Gundam unit. They were surprised to see him staring down at a rather peculiar young man. Duo opened up his Gundam unit and hopped down to meet the young boy. Trowa followed Duo’s example and crawled out of his. Heero, Wufei, and Quatre followed their lead and made a circle around the young boy. The youngster felt rather intimidated being stared down at by five well built young men but he didn’t want them to know that so he stood up straight and beamed at them all.

“Well now, I didn’t know you had so many friends, Trowa. Who are all of these people?”

Duo laughed and gave a thumbs up.

“Well, you can call me Duo. That quiet guy over there is Heero. Don’t let him creep you out, he’s just a bit antisocial. The blond haired guy is named Quatre. Hey you know what? You look a little like him. You guys could be distant cousins. The guy with the slicked back hair, well that’s Wufei. He’s a good guy, but he doesn’t talk much either.  And of course, there is Trowa, who you’ve already met.”

The young boy smiled and shook all of the mobile suit pilot’s hands.

“Well, it is very good to meet you all. This big fella here is named Rewen. He’s a Gluslog that I brought from my home planet. As I was telling Trowa, they come in handy while traveling through space. They eat all of the pesky asteroids that get in your way. As for me, I am called the Little Prince. I am the Prince of a distant world, though there are not many people to govern over. I have two volcanoes, you see. One of them is active but the other is not. I rake it out everyday just to be safe. I also have a flower…I think it’s what you call a rose on this world. She’s very bossy though. She makes me water her and care for her every day. I don’t really mind though. Oh, and there are also a few animals. Some of them are my friends but others try to eat my rose so I have to keep them back by putting a glass over her. And then…”

Heero put his hand over the Little Prince’s mouth and frowned at Duo.

“You see what happens when you ask a kid for help? You get all of the wrong information. This isn’t aiding in our search whatsoever.”

The Little Prince looked up at Heero with his blue eyes and shook himself free.

“A kid? Where is a kid? I am the Little Prince. I think I am as old…as the stars I could see from my planet. Of course, I was never able to count them all. Anyway, what is it that you guys were looking for? Maybe I could help.”

Quatre gave a warm smile and chuckled a bit in spite of himself.

“Um, Little Prince was it? Somehow I don’t think you will be able to help us on our mission. You see, we are looking for an asteroid and…”

The Little Prince became excited and jumped up straight which caused Quatre to jump back in surprise before he could finish what he was saying.

“Oh, oh I know! I saw it on my way here! It was falling to the earth with great speed. It looked like it would do some damage so I had my gluslog eat it. Like I said, they come in handy while you are traveling through space.”

Wufei inspected the strange beast which looked like a cross between a sea cucumber and a camel. He then gave a stern look to the Little Prince.

“Is what you are saying the truth, young man?”

The Little Prince beamed showing a row of white teeth which seemed to sparkle in the sunlight.

“It is true, my friend! You can have a look at my gluslog if you don’t believe. The asteroids sit in his stomach for a whole month before they are digested, you see. Fortunately for you, he’s only swallowed this one. Usually if you want to find one to keep in your collection you have to dig through twenty or thirty until you find the one you are looking for. I met a man on this planet once, and he collected asteroids. It was a bother digging out the one he wanted from the one hundred my gluslog had swallowed on his way there.”

Wufei looked at the young man with a rather bewildered look on his face for a few moments before walking over to the gluslog to inspect it for signs of having swallowed an asteroid with his space reader. Sure enough the reader picked up signs of an asteroid exactly four feet in length inside the stomach of the Gluslog. Wufei looked a little pale as he turned around to tell his friends the news.

“It looks like our search is over. The asteroid is in here; just like the boy said.”

The Little Prince clapped his hands and mounted the gluslog with a large grin on his face.

“You see, you see? The asteroid is inside my Rewen. It looks like your search is over! Hurray!”

The Little Prince did a handstand on Rewen and then rode around on him for a while the Gundam pilots tried to make sense of the situation. Heero watched the Little Prince continue to do acrobatics on the Gluslog as he said, “I don’t know how much of what this kid is saying is true but we know for sure that the asteroid somehow got into the stomach of that space creature. If we take them both back to the desert base, we can interrogate the boy and extract the asteroid from that creature’s belly. It’s getting late in the afternoon so I think we should head back now.”

Trowa nodded in agreement and gestured for the Little Prince to come off his gluslog. The Little Prince came back over with a smile on his face and looked up at Trowa with his big blue eyes.

“What do you need me for, friend?”

Trowa smiled in spite of himself. It was the first time anyone had called him a friend after knowing him for only a few hours.

“Little Prince, would you please come back to my, um, house with me and my friends? We need to get that asteroid out of your friend’s stomach. It’s very important that we do this; understand? We will get you back home after we are done, alright?”

The Little Prince laughed and did a few cartwheels in the sand before saying, “How silly. I told you that I am away from my planet. I am here visiting this world on my own so don’t worry about getting me back. There is only one desert friend that can do that. My Rewen and I will come to your home. I can stay the night and cook some of the food I brought from my world. This is going to be so much fun! I can’t wait. Let’s go new friends!”

Duo gave a short chuckle and Trowa rolled his eyes. Wufei climbed into his Shenlong and headed back to the base without telling the others. The whole situation was giving him a headache and he didn’t want to stick around any longer than was necessary. Heero saw Wufei wandering off and followed behind him in his Wing Gundam. When Duo noticed the two of them were gone, he sighed and jumped into his Deathsythe.

“Gee, would it kill the two of them to wait for the rest of us to head out before taking off once in a while? On second thought, it’s more likely that that little boy really came from another planet then for that to happen. I better get going too. Are you coming Quatre and Trowa?”

Quatre nodded and climbed into his Sandrock.

“Roger that. I’m on my way back to the base.”

Duo grinned.

“Alright! I guess I’ll head out with you and let Trowa worry about the kid.”

Quatre winked at Trowa and headed out with Duo. Trowa frowned and called after the two of them, “Hey wait a minute; how did I get stuck taking care of the kid?”

Duo and Quatre only waved the arms of their mobile suit units as they walked toward the desert base, leaving Trowa and the Little Prince alone together beneath the now mid-afternoon desert sky.

Very cute. I can't say much till I read more, but I think you have a typing error. Unless Heero was supposed to kiss the LP. lol ^_^

"Heero put his mouth over the Little Prince’s mouth and frowned at Duo."

Hilarious either way...
