Chibi Nightheart: Hello! Welcome to the MSTing of Episode 46! Why choose just episode 46? Well, it's one of my favorites, that and it was the funniest MSTing that Nikki and I have done. So for the sake of clarity, let us all say that all asides are being iserted by some unknown outside force who does a wicked mimic of the cast's voices. Or you can go ahead and pretend that it's the cast themselves (it's much funnier that way). Either way, enjoy! ~Nightheart.
OH, and i would like to take this opportunity to mention that I do not own Gundam wing. I do not own most of the script. The only thing I own are the comments that I have so cunninly distributed throughout the fic. All the rest belongs to bandai and sotsu agency. That said, on with the show!
((The wordds in these are inserted words.))

((Heero: I uh, gotta go this way now...*runs off*))
Heero heading to Wing Zero... Heero: *Relena*
Relena: (Staring out into space) *Heero*
((Relena: John...))
((Heero: Marsha...))
Episode 46 - Milliard's Decisive Battle
Narrator:The earth having been targetted by the giant ship, Libra, forced the military to use their superior resources to formulate a counteroffensive. The resource satellite MO-II being the closest to the earth, became the staging point for several thousand space-type Leos. Treize in an attempt to bolster morale of his troops, took his place with those on the front-lines. But there were still voices of doubt about how well they could stand up against the Libra.
Treize stands there regarding the Tallgeese MK-II
Soldier: Milord Treize, it's too dangerous to use our entire line in the attack.
Treize: The commander of the White Fang, Milliardo, is fighting with all his forces. Think of this as a courtesy to him.
((Treize: If he can do it, then dammit so can I! Only Better! I shall prove to have the most testosterone! Bwahahaha!))
Soldier: But....
Treize: Mark my words, A war without such courtesies creates nothing but slaughter.... That's why all the wars that have happened on earth have been so sad.
((Trieze: Now that we're up here in space, even though we'll still technically be slaughtering people, it won't be as sad.))
[Lady Une lying comatose in hospital bed]
((Lady Une: You wouldn't belive it, but two wine coolers and I'm buzzed. Anybody got any asprin?))
[Switch to Hangar Bay]
Mechanic: Chief.... isn't that the suit that was abandoned at Luxemborg?
Chief: Yeah... but it's still a marvelous unit.
Mechanic: But his lordship, Treize's already gone up into space. What's the point in mounting boosters?
Chief: I don't leave things half finished.
Mechanic: Still... there's no one left on this earth capable of piloting this suit....
[Giant Battleship Peacemillion]
Duo floats down one of the corridors and ends up in the mess hall.
Duo: Where'd he go off to, that Heero?
((Duo: That darned Heero, He's always running off. Always leaving ME to cover the check... Damn him.))
Trowa: (reading a book) He took off in a Virgo carrier recovered from the White Fang. It's obvious where he's headed.
Duo: But, he left behind the Zero! Does he plan on facing Zechs with his bare hands?
Wufei doing some exercises with some weird hand-held device.
Wufei: I don't know how, but he'll manage it somehow....
Quatre: (smiling softly) No, I don't think that's his only purpose.
Duo: Hey, you can't mean that he went off to rescue that girl?
Quatre: Yes.
Wufei: Then I've been giving him too much credit.... Out of all of us, I thought he was the sanest guy.
((Duo: *sweatdrop* You've got to be kidding. Quatre on the Zero System is saner than Heero is normally.))
((Quatre: Hey! I resent that!))
Trowa: I think it just goes to show you how strong she really is, if she can influence a guy like Heero.
Wufei: *snort*
((Duo: *Sweatdrops* Oookaaay. Someone forgot their medication this morning.))
Trowa: Wufei.... When Heero brings Relena back, at least greet her kindly... It's so easy to hurt a woman's feelings.
((Trowa: Hell, you do it all the time without even trying. I stand in awe. Most of them won't talk to you and of the few that will, half are secretly plotting to kill you. Out of them all, I think Sally has the best odds, she's got all those machine guns and...))
Wufei: (grimly silent) ......
Duo: Hey Quatre... If we're going to go after him, shouldn't we head out now?
Quatre: We can't afford to deplete the defenses of the Peacemillion right now.... Besides, let's leave the two of them alone for a while.
((Quatre: *smiling obliviously* They'll be having tea and scones together.))
((Duo: Yeah. Sure they will Quatre.))
((Quatre: *innocently* Why? What else would they be doing?))
((*Duo and Trowa exchange look.* *Duo hides grin*))
Duo: You guys really think he's going to pull it off?
Duo: He has failed before!
[Damaged Virgo Carrier headed towards Libra]
Heero: This is the Peacemillion attack unit 02.... Propulsion power defense system hit on the port side, coming in for an emergency landing.
Comm: This is the Libra bridge. Please confirm the number of survivors. Identification numbers- Heero: There are no survivors...
Heero cuts off communications and flies the carrier straight into one of the hangars.
Comm: Hey! Wait! Open up communications! Hey!
Man1: Careful! It's very possible that there's a saboteur in there. Status on the fire? Man2: We're working on it! Our hands are full!
Someone floats out of the carrier.
Man1: Hey you! Seal off this block! No one gets out.
Heero: Rodger.....
Libra bridge.... Quinze: You let an infiltrator slip through!? Fools! You let it happen again? I told you to be ready for this!!
Zechs: Calm down. I was prepared for this eventuality.... But it came sooner than I'd anticipated.
Quinze: Huh? Zechs: I suppose I should say that the gundam pilots live up to their name.
Dorothy: What do you have in mind, Mister Milliardo?
Zechs: As long as they've made their presence known, there's nothing but for me to make mine known. Dorothy: But there's been no confirmation of the infiltrator yet.
((Dorothy: Besides what that idiot Quinze just said about an infiltrator getting through, there hasn't been any confirmation.))
Zechs: It has to be him.... Heero Yuy.
[Relena's Room] Relena is staring out the window.
Relena: ...... (The sound of door opening. Relena continues to stare at the window.)
Relena: I have nothing to say to anyone but my elder brother..... Please, there's no need to worry about me......
Heero: (off camera) I can't allow that.
Relena: ......!! (She looks pretty happy) Heero stands at the door.
Heero: With you here, Noin and the others are shaken in their resolve.
Relena: I'd have never thought that you would come for me, Heero.
Heero: (turning to leave) Let's go...
Relena: Wait! I still...
Heero: Zechs?
Heero: Do whatever you need....
Heero: I have matters to settle with him as well.
Heero leaves first, followed by a smiling Relena.
[Tallgese MK-II standing on a carrier with a horde MS's behind it.]
OZ: Coordinates adjusted. Target. Libra.
[Inside a computer room aboard the Libra]
Relena: What are you doing? (leans against the panel to face him)
Heero: That girl, Hilde..... The data she brought us on this ship is of some use.... he's apparently not on the bridge at the moment.....
Relena: Where is my brother?
Heero: He can only be in one of several places.
Relena: You truly are a wonder, Heero...
Heero: I'm nothing compared to you...
Relena: No, you give me the strength and hope to live... you must do the same for others...
Heero: Don't make me repeat myself.... I'm nothing compared to you....
(a.n. Now that's the way to compliment a girl!)
Relena: ... I-!
Heero: Come. I've found Zechs.
(monitor highlights a round room)
Relena: What?!
[Somwhere on the Libra]
Zechs: So you finally show yourself.
Relena: Brother!
Zechs: Relena... I thought our conversation was over.
Relena: No. Not yet.
Zechs: I will not change my mind.
[Monitor flares to life showing the OZ attack force.]
Zechs: This is what Treize is doing. The Libra must take on this huge armada.
Relena: Stop this immediately. It's meaningless!
Zechs: No it's not. Even if this was only a cowardly offensive, there's more than enough meaning in it.
Relena: Brother....
Heero: I don't know what's going on between Treize and you, but don't involve others.
Zechs: This war must, by it's nature, involve many others.... This problem is related to the hope of all mankind.
Heero: Is this why you, an Earther became a representative to the colonies?
Zechs: The colonies toyed with the will to fight, and continued the path to arms.... Chose me as their leader.... If you have problems with that, then you as a native of the colonies should take command of the White Fang.
Zechs:In other words.... become my comrade.
[Commercial Break]
Dorothy: At long last... Mister Treize?
Quinze: Lady Dorothy.... The Libra's units are ready and the main array has finished charging...
Dorothy: Let's wait for Mister Milliardo.
Quinze: But at this rate....
Dorothy: We are to be following Mister Milliardo's orders. Are we not?
Quinze: True... but...
((Quinze: *mutters* Bitch.))
((Dorothy: *narrows eyes* I heard that. From now on you shall refer to me only as Your Dark Goddess! <whipcrack! Is that clear?! ))
((Quinze: Yes Mistress.))
[Back to Heero and Zechs]
Heero: Comrade? ..... It figures.... You would say something like that.
Heero raises the gun and aims it at Zechs.
Zechs: Is that your answer?
((Zechs: *does Regis Philbin Impression* Is that your final answer?))
((Heero: I'd like to use my lifeline.))
Heero: Does the person who finds so much meaning in this war have something to say?
((Zechs: Heero...I am your father.))
((Heero: You are?))
Zechs: Unless one fights, one cannot realise the stupidity of war.... I must make all of humankind realise this.
Heero: Why have you chosen to fill that role?
Zechs: The former leader of the colonies, Heero Yuy, with the head of the Cinque Kingdom attempted to establish complete peace.
Zechs: One in space.... the other on the earth.
Relena: Father-?
Zechs: I am merely following my father's will.
Relena: Father's will?! You're saying that this battle... this miserable war will bring about the complete peace that the Cinque Kingdom advocates?
Zechs: That is correct.
Relena: No, you're wrong. Peace cannot be born out of fighting!
Zechs: And that's fine..... Keep thinking that....
Heero: (lowering gun) Understood....
Heero: (To Relena) That's enough isn't it? Your role in this is over.
[Heero turns to leave.]
Relena: Heero!
Zechs: Relena..... No matter what happens.... survive through this.... Farewell, sister of mine.
[His image fades.]
Relena: Brother! .... A holographic projection?
[Relena going after Heero]
Relena: (very distressed) Heero!?
[Zechs stepping back onto the Libra's bridge.]
Quinze: Enemy units are in range. Zechs: The charge on the main array?
Dorothy: Complete. But... they're comprised of mobile suits....
Zechs: Of course... I'll send out an advisory. But depending on Treize's response, we may have to fire. I want to eliminate all sentimentality when dealing with him.
Dorthy: U-Understood....
[Back to the earth forces]
Comm: M'lord, An advisory has come in, it's from Commander Milliardo of the White Fang. He says that if we continue the advance, he'll fire the Libra array.
Treize: Acknowledged.
[Tallgeese's arm is raised signaling halt.]
Treize: This is Treize Khushrenada. All troops halt.
[Treize glances around.]
Treize: Stand by, until I order otherwise.
[Tallgeese jets off towards the Libra.]
OZ: Your lordship!? Where are you going!? Wait! M'lord!!!
[Back on earth, Lady Une suddenly awakens.]
WF1: Special enemy unit approaching.
Quinze: Launch Libra's units!
Zechs: Belay that order!
Quinze: Commander Milliardo....?
Zechs: That's the Tallgeese.... and the pilot is most likely....
Treize: (on screen) This is the world sovereign, Treize Khushenada. I challenge the White Fang's leader, Commander Milliardo to a duel.
Quinze: A duel?! How very OZ.
WF1: Is he serious?
WF2: Yes. That's his usual method.
Dorthy: Master Treize...
Zechs: Hmph.
[Back on earth.... Une's bed is empty.]
[Mechanics are running and stop to watch a white streak head up into space.]
[Treize before the giant spaceship Libra. (in Tallgeese MK-II)]
Treize: Will you give me your answer.... Commander Milliardo?
Zechs: (on monitor) .....
((White Fang Soldiers: How shall we piss off, oh Lord?))
((Zechs: Not you! Him!))
Treize: Try not to forget that your answer will include your response regarding this battle.
Zechs: The duel ...
Treize: .....
Zechs: Is declined!
Dorthy: What?!
Treize: *amused sound*
Dorothy: W-Why.... Mister Milliardo?
Zechs: I'm not an "OZ" soldier.... I am in a position where the code of knights does not matter.... I bear the will of the space revolution!!
Zechs: I can't allow such a frivolous thing as a duel to decide the fate of the colonists.
Treize: (eyes closed) I see.... That is the correct choice.
Zechs: Treize.... those who stand in the way will be removed!!
Treize: Milliardo... Behind us is the earth...We will not retreat.
Treize: I love the earth...
Zechs: That's what makes you Treize.
Dorothy: Please wait, Mister Milliardo!
Zechs: Prepare the main array for firing... Target, enemy mobile suits spread to include the resource satellite MO-II.
Quinze: Use the main array on the Tallgeese?!
Zechs: It doesn't matter.... it's what Treize wants!!
Dorothy: (standing in front of Zechs) Mister Milliardo, please reconsider!! Please, anything but don't fire upon Trieze!
Zechs: Quinze... restrain Dorothy. She's a traitor.
Quinze: Yes.
[Quinze points a gun at Dorthy.]
Dorothy: ..... Mister Milliardo.
[Back to the Tallgeese MK-II]
Treize: Forward!
[Puts the thrusters on full.]
WF: Enemy unit approaching!
Zechs: (thinking) It ends here, Trieze!
WF: Main array, charging complete!
Treize: If I die here, your victory is assured. Fire at me! For the sake of peace on the colonies and earth!
Zechs: My enemy is the earth.... and you're it's representative.... Treize!
WF: Countdown Initiated. Zechs: Move over. I'll finish him myself.
[Man moves out of seat and Zechs takes his place.]
[Zechs begins to push down on the button.]
Dorothy: (throwing herself at Zechs) No! No! Don't!
Zechs: Don't get in my way! This is the path to peace!
[Zechs pushes and fires.]
[A rapidly approaching object, resolves itself into Gundam Wing bird-mode. It transforms and pushes Treize out of the way of the shot.]
Zechs: 01?!
Treize: Wing Gundam?!.... It can't be....
[The beam cuts a big hole through the earth forces and takes out a chunk of MO-II.]
[Back to a really mutilated Wing Gundam. The hatch is forced open and woman steps out (in an astrosuit of course) Treize gasps in surprise.]
Treize: Lady.... Une.....
[Libra's bridge]
Dorothy: Mister Milliardo....
Zechs: That's enough... Don't say a thing.
Quinze: How long until the array can be fired a second time?
WF1: One-hundred and fourty minutes are necessary for the charge.
WF2: Mobile Suits approaching from behind! They're.... earth forces! We're being targeted from both directions!
Quinze: Shit! Launch the Libra's units.
Quinze: (little snidely) You don't mind do you... Commander Milliardo?
[Zechs remains silent, shaking with anger.]
[Back to Treize and Lady Une]
[Lady Une floats up from the ruins of Wing Gundam and lands on Tallgeese's hand.]
((Treize: You like it here. *puts her in huge birdcage*)) (reference to that thing with the birds earlier in the season.)
Treize: Lady.... Why such recklessness?
Une: Master Treize... a battle is most beautiful when it's being fought.
Treize: To all units.... Shoot down the Libra!
((Treize: And bring me a latte and a mocha frap for my lady. And dammit men, get the Lady a blanket! She's probably freezing out there.))
[Earth force Leo's launch. Libra's Virgo's launch. Lotsa MS's!]
