Her History:

Callisto Angelus has been assumed to have been born in the L6 colony and taken to Earth. At the age of four, she was orphaned when her parents were murdered. She alone witnessed their deaths. Not long later, she was taken in by a group of mercenaries and assassins. Being a female, they had little use for her and she spent most of her time alone or being beaten. Instead of cowering like the men expected, she grew more and more determined to destroy them when she was able to.

A quick learner, Callisto picked up fighting skills from just watching. Within years, she was an accomplished assassin and warrior. Callisto’s skill with various weapons and technology and hand-to-hand combat surpassed that of her "mentors." When merely nine years old, Callisto killed every single one of them with only a handful of stolen weapons. She then stole a shuttle back to L6 and that is where she met Dr. L.

Very little else is known of Callisto. Her files are all classified and even her birthdate is unknown by most. Her native race is unknown though reports may vary from Korean to American or both. Some even go as far as to say that she has Romanian ancestry because of her last name. Most files simply state that her nationality is unknown.

Like the other pilots, Callisto has a wide range of skills from undercover work to thievery. She seems to be invisible at times and Violet says she can pull constant "disappearing acts."

Quote: "Feelings are essential, even for the Perfect Soldier."

Dr. Misha Ling is a brilliant scientist and engineer, quite specifically the one to create Gundam 06 and train the pilot. She and Callisto met when the girl had come from Earth on a stolen shuttle. Dr. L offered to train her further so she could pilot her latest mobile suit. They grew close and the doctor was not only able to give Callisto the necessary training, but also her heart and life back.

Dr. Ling was known as a child prodigy when she was young. Her parents sent her to a special academy, which she left a year later because Ling couldn’t find the classes enough to satisfy her curiosity. Unable to find someone who could teach her, she taught herself and designed a number of mobile suits before creating Gundam 06.

Quote: "Sometimes guys just can’t do it, that’s when you have to let the girls try."

Violet is a happy, bubbly person whose mood is quite contagious. Callisto’s best friend and a skilled mechanic who can beat even some of the best technicians out there, she can have a hot temper and throws a mean right hook. Other than that, she is a dreamer who likes to read and write in her spare time. Violet’s toolbox and her laptop are rarely seen not attached to her hip. Her relationship with the Gundam pilots is not just through Callisto.

She grew up in a generally happy environment but her parents disapproved of her tomboyish ways. Instead of playing with dolls and tea sets, she’d climb trees and build models of mobile suits. At the age of twelve, Violet ran away from home and trained under Dr. L. She takes humble pride in the fact that she helped both design and assemble the Gundam 06, StarBlade.

It is often called Epyon II because it was built from the plans of the original Epyon. The systems and weapons upgraded, it moves twice as quickly as the first Epyon. The wings are larger, more flexible and mobile so it could be used to shield the gundam. Its weapons include the attached whip of the original version and a double-bladed beam saber. Callisto Angelus learns to pilot it not long after it’s built and goes to Earth even shorter thereafter.

As war between the rebel colonies and OZ rages on, the newly established L6 colony decides to aid their fellow citizens of space. A new gundam is sent to Earth and the chaos begins anew. This is Callisto’s story.

*******************************************************************************

A silver streak blurred across space, followed by a black jet. Callisto punched in the coordinates of her first target on Earth then said quietly, "Violet, you didn’t have to come with me." Her friend’s smiling face lit up on the screen and Violet replied, "I wanted to. I want to see what Earth looks like and I’ll bet that you’ll need StarBlade repaired quite a few times." "And you want to catch up on your writing." "That’s right!"

The lavender haired girl beamed at her dark haired friend and peered at the huge gundam flying alongside her. Violet shrugged again and went back to typing.

*******************************************************************************

Heero gazed at the dark sky. It was rare when the five of them had some time to themselves. Duo hopped onto Wing Zero and plopped down next to him. "Checkin’ out the sky?" "Yeah." His cobalt eyes squinted a silver streak fell from the dark night. "Look there, do you see it?" Duo looked and then ran off saying, "I’ll get the others, we might need to fight!" "Duo!" The chestnut haired boy only smiled and blew him a kiss.

Quatre stretched out on his bed, sighing softly when Trowa’s strong hands ran his back. "That feels good, koi." The French boy only smiled slightly and nuzzled the blond locks. Duo slammed the door open, holding in one hand an irate Wufei. "There might be trouble! Get out here!"

The four ran out, ready to fight for their lives. There was nothing. Duo scratched his head and waved his arms about. "Heero and I saw this silver thing drop from the sky, I know we did?" "Maxwell, just how much soda did you drink?" "Quatre and I will be going back in, Duo, just tell us if OZ comes, not Hilde with a box of cookies." When the other three left, Duo flopped on the ground and muttered, "Hee-Chan, I swear both of us saw that thing, but what is it?" "Something big," The Japanese boy murmured, "Bigger than all of us."

*******************************************************************************

The next day, it was reported that an OZ base in Nigeria was completely destroyed by an unidentified mobile suit. An hour after the report was made, a teenage girl was walking through the Animal Kingdom, a famous zoo that was spread worldwide. She was wearing a dark wetsuit and headed straight for the marine animals’ section of the zoo. She walked directly for a pool holding a massive orca by the name of Kuna.

Normally, no one take a second glance but Kuna had a reputation for killing anything it could reach, including other orcas and humans. John West, the head trainer and supervisor of the marine animals’ section came around the bend just in time to see her dive in. "Hey you, get out of there!" He ran to the edge of the pool, expecting to see blood streaking the water. He almost fell in when he saw the girl swimming *with* Kuna.

"John!" He looked up to see Ross Haley, supervisor of the predators’ section come running to him. "I saw this girl in the tigers’ habitat, actually sitting with them. She got away, but I need help finding her." Before he could answer, Mary Andrews of the aviary section came to them saying, "There was a girl handling the bald eagles. Did you see her?" And yet another trainer, Mike Calloway from the reptile habitats said, "Some kid had gotten into the King Cobra exhibit. Have you seen her?"

Holding his hands up to get their attention, John pointed to the girl swimming with Kuna. "Is that her?" Mike’s brown eyes widened. "Oh Lord, that’s Kuna’s tank!" "Don’t you think I tried to tell her that?" "I already knew." Startled, all four turned to see her standing there, dripping wetsuit and all. Ross was the first to regain his senses. "Just how did you do that?" "You show them that you aren’t afraid, then they’ll see you as a friend."

"Apparently, she knows more about this than we would." Mary stepped forward and asked, "Miss, how would you like a job as a trainer here?" She almost didn’t expect the "Sure, why not?" "Don’t you have to ask your parents?" John West asked. "I don’t have any." "Okay, then Miss," "Callisto Angelus." "Okay Callisto, meet here next week, same time."

As Callisto turned and walked off, Mike said, "At least if she gets mauled or something, we don’t have to worry about telling her parents." "Mike, be nice."

*******************************************************************************

Across town, in a small library, a purple haired girl was reading to a whole crowd of children. "And they lived happily ever after." Violet quickly finished when she saw Callisto standing there, still squeezing water out of her hair. "Bye kids, I have to go now." There came a collective "Aww," from the toddlers sitting at her feet. "Will you be back, Violet?" A little girl asked. "Sure," Violet smiled. "And I promise to bring more stories next week, okay?" Callisto grabbed her and dragged her out. "So did you get a job there?" "I had to turn a few heads but yeah, I did." "You didn’t break into the habitats again, did you?" "Uh…" "You’re pathetic, Callisto Angelus." "Oh shut up."

*******************************************************************************

Violet squirmed on the narrow space she was sitting on. Two people stuffed into StarBlade’s cockpit was *not* a good idea. "So we’re going to find the other gundam pilots?" "Yeah, Dr. L gave me their location." "I want to see my cousin again." "You only met him once and you can barely remember." "Photos count too, you know." "For all you know, he could be a loudmouth, chauvinistic, ass." "He looks sweet, Cal." "But is he?" "Pay attention! We’re almost there!"

Indeed, beyond the little shack, Callisto could see five camouflaged figures. "Guess they’re home." "Right V." Callisto smirked at the five boys standing in front of a rundown shack, staring up at them. Opening the cockpit and leaning out, she said, "Let me go out first."

*******************************************************************************

Duo and his friends weren’t exactly expecting a massive silver gundam to appear. Wufei’s onyx eyes widened as he said, "It looks like Epyon." Indeed the gundam was nearly identical to it, except sleeker and was silver with crystal blue and jade green. Large silver wings practically blotted out the sun, they were so large. The cockpit opened and a girl about their age with black hair and equally dark eyes, wearing black shorts and a red tanktop flew out, performing a series of flips and twists that could only match Trowa’s skill.

The five pilots watched as she landed lightly on the ground and drew her gun with lightning speed. The muzzle of the pistol traveled from Duo to Heero to Quatre to Trowa and finally rested on Wufei. "Chang Wufei, Pilot 05," She smiled just a tad bit too brightly. "Your cousin says hi." "My cousin?" Right on cue, a lavender haired girl jumped out and ran to him crying, "Wufei! I missed you so much!" The Chinese boy could only stare at the teenager wrapped around his neck. "W-what?" "Me! Violet! Remember, Wu-Bear?" Duo burst into a fit of giggles, ignoring Wufei’s stony glare. "Wu-Bear? Wu-Bear? Ha ha!" The black haired boy pried his beaming cousin away and Violet promptly tackled Quatre squealing, "CUTIE!!!"

Heero glared at the first girl and extended his hand and said flatly, "Heero Yuy." The black haired girl shook it and replied, "Callisto Angelus." Trowa smiled only faintly as he introduced himself and Duo babbled out, "Hey I’m Duo, how ya doing?" Quatre ran fingers through his rumpled hair and took a step away from Violet. "Um… welcome to the team."

*******************************************************************************

Dr. J scowled at the raven-haired women on the screen. Her green eyes were unnaturally bright, like a cat’s and her long black hair was tied back in a sleek ponytail. "I heard about your latest creation, Dr. L. Can your "perfect soldier" handle it?" Misha Ling glanced at the twisted form of a man and coolly replied, "I have faith in my pilot. She can more than handle this."

The man snorted and said scornfully, "She’ll never be like Heero." Dr. L raised a dark eyebrow and responded, "Because Callisto will be better." Dr. J snorted again and switched the screen off.
