^A^ Well hello again. I guess that that 2nd chapter was a bit
dull because I didn't get enough e-mails. *sniff* But it was
necessary for this next chapter.... AND I promise you this is NOT a
boring chapter. Some people have been asking me about why I've
rated this PG-13. I guess I should have said this earlier, and
when I do my revising I will, but this is the 411 for now. First there
is some language, but most of all the issues I will be dealing with.
I just want people old enough to handle view points of different
people in the story. There will be many things debateable in this
story.. and most of them are unhappy and even "dark" issues.
It's not the happy go round, green grass,
rainbows, fairy world like some PGs, but not too heavy either.
Know what? I feel sorry for Heero and Relena. Just
think about all those girls who like Heero... excluding Relena because
they're meant to be. Well... there was Sally who "admired" him, then
Dorothy who thought that he was "wild", then.... you get the idea.
Though they now they're *crazy* about their own guy, atleast in my
story.
Mmmmm..... I just gave away a bit of the chapter away... and I'm not suppose to do that. So on with the show. But one last thing don't forget to e-mail me or else!

Notes Wings of a Dove Chapter Three: Attack and it's Annoying Aftermath
Quatre waited for Relena to be well off the plane before he signaled
everyone over to his computer. "I found something. Something about
the Bloody Fang. Someone was doing an upload on someone called the
Shadow. The person input himself as a member of the Bloody Fang."
"And" Milliardo added breathlessly. Damn these pilots are good.
Not even a full day and they've found a camera and some more
information on the terrorist group.
Quatre began to type furiously, "WellÖ the man put this Shadow as a
leader. Unfortunately whoever the man was got disconnected or something
because he di-" WHACK! "It could be a woman" Sally said coldly.
Quatre rubbed his arm, "Of course, he or SHE didn't wait long enough
for me to download the entire file. He or SHE also didn't stay on long
enough for me to locate the exact point of their base or at least one
of their bases. All I know is that the person can be found somewhere
in South America. This is Shadow person's first name is Luke."
"What kind of dumb human would name himself Shadow" Wufei snorted.
"One who can hide himself very well." Sally said sternly. "Pah,
nothing I can't handle" "Hump!"
"That's a start" Duo said smiling. "Better than where we were before"
Quatre then added, "Their security is amazing. Their computer system
is bounces off of at least 5 satellites" Quatre then lowered his head,
a sign of shame, "One of them were mine. They have been using one of
my satellites without me noticing, I can't believe. I've become so
clumsily." Dorothy sighed and gave Quatre a hug around the
shoulders.
"Don't be silly. You're just really stressed out with so many things
to think of. No worries." Quatre smiled almost shyly at Dorothy.
"Thanks."
Heero's core tightened at the sight of Dorothy and Quatre. There was
something about them at the moment that made his body ache. (Remember
everyoneÖ he does *not* have a heart. Yeah right.) He would have never
guessed that the two would work out, just like him andÖ Suddenly
something in his mind clicked. "Wait. We should be following Relena.
I have a feeling there is more coming than that pin with a camera."
Trowa stared Heero from through his long bangs. "SoÖ. There was a
camera in the pin," "Yes, one of the best from an enemy. It's
probably 3rd class to the ones that Doctor J has shown me."
Duo whistled in appreciation, "Usually bag guys can get their slimy
hands on 5th or 6th class cams." Heero stared him out of a whistled.
"I think there's more, an attack today." Trowa and Wufei nodded.
Quatre looked glum. "We don't have a gundams or any suit in fact. We
don't even know where they will be attacking."
Catherine was confused, "wait, Wait, WAIT! How do you know there will
be an attack? I don't see it yet." Sighs come from the male pilots.
Trowa took Catherine's hand and kissed it lightly. "Soldier's
instinct, let's say. Something you develop over the years."
"And you're saying I don't have it." "You don't have it yet" "WellÖ
sorrrryyy. So you're saying I'm not as good as you yet," "Yet"
"You're not making the situation better you know." "Yes" "Can't you
ever let me win?" Catherine growled with annoyance. "No, of course
not. I would never heard the end of it from Wufei," "Then, can't you
let me at least let me have the last word?" Trowa smiled, "Never"
Catherine threw her hands up in the air.
"Impossible. Tell the world. All Gundam Pilots are impossible. I
don't see how we stand them. I don't see what the world sees in them.
At times, I don't see how I stand it! Dear Lord, tell me how!"
"You're not expecting an answer are you?" Trowa asked mildly. "GRRRR!
I give up!" "We'll see how long that last" Catherine gave him her
personal death glare and thus began to ignore him.
Heero's eyes flashed with amusement, though none of his movements
betrayed this. He had often asked the same question. The Gundam
pilots, except for Quatre and Duo were probably the most antisocial,
cruel, uneducated (in a school sense), mean, suicidal men in the
world. Yet it seemed that they all were able to get a "woman" as Wufei
would put it, women who completely contradicted their personalities:
Wufie had Sally, Trowa had Catherine. Not saying that Quatre and Duo
had girlfriends that were complete opposites of them either. And he
hadÖ.. "Relena"
"What about her?" Milliardo looked at Heero with curiosity (and
protectionism ^_~) "Do you have any good suits with you, Milliardo?"
"Yes a few tauros, if that's what you consider good. We keep a few
in each city as protection from terrorists and as symbols of how
terrible war is. It was a project a long time ago to destroy all
mobile suits, but because of terrorists that kept their own suits
instead of destroying theirs like everyone else. Relena allowed each
city to have some, depending on their population, though they are all
deactivated. You need a special key to start them. Not that you're
suppose to use them without permission of the Alliance" "MmmÖ.. how
many." "Three in this city. Not enough for you all."
Hilde shook her head, "Not good. I know its good that you got rid of
most suits for peace, but if this terrorists group is as big as it
sounds, then we'll need more suits. I'm calling the colonies to send
down the Obeterians right away." She turned and left, probably headed
to the on-board phone, followed by Duo.
"Ok, well I'm going to stay here and see if I can locate their base. I
also need to stop them from using my satellite. Perhaps I can find
more about this Shadow person" Quatre said. "I think I'll stay with
him," Dorothy said simply, "Besides I'm not as good as you guys yet
with the suits, so there is no point. Besides my legs are like Jell-O,
I can't move a muscle."
Trowa was silent, "I'll take a suit," "Me too" Wufei added. Everyone
looked at Heero expectantly. He didn't disappoint them. "Guess I'll
take the last one"
The two remaining girls looked at each other. "Guess that means, it's
you and me to look after Relena," Catherine proclaimed. Sally
nodded, "And Noin is also doing it too, close up. Guess that means we
can stay far away then. We better take a look at the setting of the
buildings before we decided where to put ourselves." "K"
Milliardo threw his hands up. "So what should I do?" "Show us where
the suits are, would be a first. Do you have the keys to start them?"
Trowa responded quietly. Milliardo glared at Trowa. "Don't push meÖ
And yes I have the spare keys. But don't leave the warehouse unless I
say" "Fine"
"Accepted" (One guess on who said that)
The plan was set.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Minister Darlian stepped off the last step of the plane and smiled
brightly to the reporters as best she could. As always the reporters
had ten billion questions to ask her. As always Noin and the guards
forced them back. This was her normal day life. It was like a shampoo
bottle. Rinse, lather, repeat.
Today's briefing was specifically for reporters and questions from the
public. Another hour of discussions and then she would have the two
weeks off, if not more seeing the gundam and obeterians pilots were at
her house for a "vacation".
She hurried to the OH building (Don't ask me what OH means. I had just
done some science homework with elements. If you still don't
understand, wait awhile. You'll get it soon enough) and was then lead
to her seat. Foreign Minister Darlian sat down into her large chair
and pulled her papers out of her suitcase and tried to settle in. Her
eyes scanned the room. There must be 50 reporters at least. Yet not
all of them were hear for her news only. She had learned that that
the hard way. Some wanted a documentary which she didn't want to give,
a biography, a nasty article about her (though those were few), a
beauty magazine picture, and last but not least an assassin. She had
found that she would be lucky if she could go through 1 meeting
without seeing one. Her eyes stopped at one point and her smiled turned
from a fake strained one to a real one.
She didn't know how they did it, but Sally and Catherine had sneaked
themselves into the room and were currently sitting at the back of the
room. She had forgot two types of people: friends and fans. Hope
they like the discussion. It's probably going to be a long oneÖÖ like
all the rest
Finally the flashes faded, as she had always asked when the meeting
started. Talking and getting blinded by flashes was really hard to
stand. The noise followed the suit of the flashes.
Noin who had been sitting beside her at her right, stood up. "Good
afternoon after. May I present to you Foreign Minister Darlian. Miss
Relena Peacecraft, our queen." There was an applause.
Relena smiled and began, "We have 2 main things to discuss this month.
First is the project AFEP #74 and lastly an added discussion about the
Gundam and Obeterian pilots."
The crowd gasped hearing the last discussion. They had known about the
first one, but the last one? The last one was a shock. Noin glanced
from the corner of her eyes at Relena. Yet Relena ignored Noin's
questioning look on purpose. Noin sighed and settled back. Relena, no
Minister Darlian wasn't one to go jumping around without looking. Yet
stillÖ Noin hated surprises and they were Relena's specialty.
Sometimes I wonder how I can handle herÖ.
Catherine gasped accordingly with the crowd. What was that last
statement about? She glanced at Sally who looked blank. This wasn't
the first time they had listened to Relena's meeting, and none of them
had gone against Relena or had been forgettable. It wasn't going to
start now.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Shadow walked through an open door and looked around. A scientist,
Doctor O. HummmÖ. He looks just beat up dead Clicking his
fingers, and whispering instructions to a soldier, he headed to doctor
looking at him from head to foot.
Doctor O was a short man wearing a white doctor's coat that was stained
on top of some formal white shirt and pants. He had a handful of
white hair and wore glasses that had a frame that was very large and
round.
The Shadow chuckled and that seemed to get the doctor's attention. Now
that he turned around, it was plain to see that though he didn't wear
a black collar, he had chains around his hands and feet.
"Lord Shadow" the doctor muttered, a slight hint of hate with it.
"What Doctor O, aren't you glad to see me?" he laughed, taking a tray
from a man he had ordered just earlier, "You should be. Come lets
talk and eat. It looks like my guards have really put you to work"
"Hump" was the response, but the poor man had no choice but to obey
with three guards with guns around him. The Shadow had already sat
down a table that was covered with papers and test tubes. He pushed
most of it aside allow space for the tray to go.
On the tray were many things. Warm thick soup, tea, and toast.
Doctor O wrinkled up his forehead. He hated that man, that Shadow and
here he was serving him. Yet his stomach growled at the sight of the
food and guards weren't that choosing either. He walked up to the
table, sat down and began on the toast.
"WellÖ. How is it?" "The toast?" There was a laugh. "I'm SO sorry."
The Shadow smirked, "I'll remember to get the guards to serve you more
often. The project. The project Wings."
"It's been going accordingly. I will be needing a few moreÖ." The
Doctor looked sadly at his hands and winced as he spoke, "testersÖ. and
some more birds, including few more strong doves."
The Shadow nodded. "I know. The birds are already here. I think you
will be very *pleased* with my choices. As for the *testers*, don't
worried. They will be here by tomorrow morning if not earlier."
Doctor O looked up from his hands to the Shadow, "Oh really? I guess
you'll be attacking some time soon then. Who is it this time, some
poor city that has a lot of strong healthy people?"
A guard stepped forward and placed a gun on the doctor's back, "How
dare you speak toÖ.." "Stop it." The Shadow ordered him. "But sirÖ."
"I said *stop* it. The doctor has every right to ask. Doctor please
drink the soup, it's already cold as it is,"
The doctor looked at the soup and began eating, never leaving his eyes
from the Shadow. "WellÖ yes. That's half of it. I'm doing it for
another reason. A personal reason. Drink up quick, Doctor O, I want
to take a look at my pets before I leave today. PlusÖ I think that
I'll need another dose doctor. My skin has been irrating me. Not to
mention that my eyes and tongue are acting up." (Now what did
Shadow-Man mean by that?)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero jumped gracefully into a Tauros. Suddenly a figure same running
up to the three pilots. "Hey guys!" Duo cried out, "Where are you
going without me?"
"You are too weak to be come seeing we have such few suits," Wufei
retorted before closing his suits. "Hey, what is that suppose to mean
WU-MAN! I am called the God of Death. I might joke around a bit,"
"Try Always" Trowa muttered from his suit, clicking away at the
controls adjusting the cockpit to suit himself.
Duo continued not hearing the comment, "But still, I can fight. I'm
just as deadly on the battlefield as any of you," Heero sighed in
expiration. There was something out there. He could feel it in his
bones. Call it a sixth sense, if you wish, but over the years he had
developed a sense that would tell if a battle would come. It was
singing in his bones right now.
He looked at the obvious angry Duo. "Duo, you can't come. There are
only 3 suits, and when they were being offered, you were with Hilde.
There was no time to wait. We have to go now. Keep an eye on Relena.
If anything happens to her, I'll kill you." That stopped the pilot's
anger but not his mouth.
"OhÖ. I see." Grins "SoÖ I guess that means you have a little something
for Jousan then am I right?" his voice taunted. Heero refused to
answer. It was the best answer, and was approved by his Perfect
Soldier mind. He got into his suit and began to follow the rest out of
the storing building.
"Stop it Duo, I'm not going either" A man stepped into the light.
Milliardo. "You're staying behind?" Duo gasped. He though the old
man would definitely go. "I can't now. I'm a pacifist for the family
Peacecraft. Though I am acknowledged as being also a general, no one
would understand if I got into a fight willingly, even if it was for my
sister. I must stay behind. It is my duty"
"Hey, hey, hey. Stop. I hear enough about duty from Wufei, thank you"
"Well, I suggest you keep your promise to keep my sister safe.
Because if you don't, after Heero kills you, I will." Duo gulped.
"I'm headed off right now then. I'm the God of Death. Not the Dead
God" Everyone groan (including the author and the readers)
Heero gripped the controls tightly. Wufei, Trowa and him would be
mostly sitting on the sidelines today. Staying near the OH building
where Relena was. They had to try to stay out of sight. Now a days,
as peace has finally settle in, mobile suits were not a common sight,
now only used for certain purposes such as memorials of the war,
protection for certain politics and countries and shows.
One would think that the gundam pilots could pretend that they were
protecting Relena but no. The gundams that were now mostly for show
didn't carry guns. They were.
Heero looked down at his watch. 2:49. Only 41mintues before the
briefing was over. This is going to be some 41 mintues he
thought. The Perfect Soldier slapped him. When have I been so
impatience? Heero clamped his annoying thoughts down with a gleam
of his eyes. The Perfect Soldier had taken over.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Quatre and Dorothy sat alone together in the seat of the plane. Quatre
sighed. "What is it Quatre?"
"It's going to take a lot of work, trying to move the satellite so that
this terrorist group can't use it. Not only that but it might
interfere with other people's business."
"Then don't move it" "ButÖ.." "ShhÖ just listen. Why not take the
advantage of them using your satellite." "I don't follow"
Dorothy sighed in exasperation. "WellÖ. When the Bloody Fang uses your
satellite, can't you listen in on them?" Quatre faced brightened
immediately. "You're right. That's a wonderful idea. And I can make
it work in aboutÖ.. 10 minutes." Dorothy laughed lightly "Then I
suggest you get started" "Right away, Madame" "Quatre, don't call me
that" "If that is what you wish!" Punch. "OuchÖ.. I guess yea is the
answer."
Hilde picked up the phone from the cockpit and began dialing. Duo had
left her after hearing that the other gundam pilots were going to
"fight". Besides she wasn't going to need him help to make a phone
call.
"Hello?" "Doctor J?" "Yes, who is this?" "It's Hilde. We need the
Obeterians right away. It seems like the party has started a little
sooner than we thought." "Sure. I'll send them to the Great Lake #4
Base. You can pick them put there."
"Great Doc. And the gundamsÖ" "They're about 94% done. It will be
less than a week before we can stand those" "Thanks doc. Bye"
Hilde hanged up. What should I do now? She thought.
Everyone had a job but I'm finished. She looked down a the
pilot's seat. The pilot must have gone off board when Relena did.
With new people at the Preventers, security had stepped up. Guards
were also trained as pilots, so Hilde wouldn't be surprise if one of
the guards had been the pilot of this plane.
Sighing Hilde threw herself in the chair. It was 2:45. Lots of time
forÖÖ. aÖÖ.. nap. "Duo, sweetie" she mumbled softly before falling
asleep. (Isn't that cute?)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Doctor O and the Shadow had were walking down a long dark hallway.
There was a tiny red light in front of themÖ. And it was no doubt that
that was their destination. When they reached the door, Shadow held
up a hand to the guards. "Stop and wait here. The doctor and I will
take it from here." "SIR, are you sure?" "Of course. Are you
supposing that I will be bettered by an old man in chains" "No, SIR"
"Good, now wait here" The doctors face remained neutral. "Ok, Doctor
O, open the door" The doctor withdrew another card from his pocket and
slide it threw the slot. The door rang and opened as the light flashed
from red to green.
Doctor O stepped inside. "Come, Shadow. I'm supposing you'll like to
see the new soldiers." "Yes" "Then follow me" They walked silently
down the hallway. The Shadow grinned as he looked from left to rightÖ.
On both sides were glass walls and sides were hisÖ. Pets. Each had
their own habitatÖ. From a rain forest, to the rugged mountains.
After taking a series of left and right turns the doctor stopped.
"Here. I did them to your wish." "Wonderful. They're beautiful. And
the training?" "They are able to handle orders I suppose. I'm not
the one training them."
"I'll check on that later. None of the generals has mentioned a
complain about them to meÖ. So I suppose they must be ok. How many do
we have?" "I do not know about the trained ones, but I know that 13
has been send out for it. Inside there are 7. The ones I'm talking
about are of course the success ones." "How many unsuccessful ones?"
"10" "Where are they?" The doctor opened him mouth to answer.
Beep, beep, beep. The Shadow frowned and opened his voice messenger.
"What is it?" "We need back at the main room for orders SIR" "Fine.
I'll be leaving then Doctor O. I need my shot."
Doctor O sighed and but nodded. He pulled out a container full of
bright green liquid. Taking a needle from the other pocket, he used
the needle to "suck" up some of the liquid. The Shadow was already
bracing himself for it, sitting down and had locked his hands behind
him.
"Ready?" "Ready. Do it Doctor!" Doctor O nodded pulling away the
dark cape and rolling up a black sleeve. Underneath was the skin. It
was scratched with battle scars though they were almost invisible now.
One would have not noticed the other difference from his to another's
skin if you weren't been paying attention.
But he saw it. The Doctor. The skin has a certain shine to it, and
the breaks in the skin were just a little be larger, and most of all.
There was a hint of green to the pink skin. With a quick jab, the
doctor injected the needle and stepped away. He preferred to do this
when the person was strapped to a table butÖ. He had not choice, he
was a prisoner.
The Shadow's body began to tremble as if there was a battle within
himself. The Shadow then cried a battle cry, making the doctor shrink
into the back of the hallway. He could see it clearly now. The red
eyes with the cat like slits. The thin tongue that seem to pierce the
air. Those handsÖ..
But as soon as it had come, it was over. The doctor sighed with
relief. The Shadow stood up and dusted himself off. He felt much
better. Rolling down his sleeve he nodded to the doctor. "'Till next
time, Doctor"
The Doctors shook his head. All he ever wanted to do was help peopleÖ
but he was destroying them. All because of one man. No he
shook his head again, One creature
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Capricas (mobile suits) rustled quietly in the forest. There was
about 30 of them looking over a hill to the town Peachville. The head
Caprica stood slightly in front of the group. "Halt! Stop moving, we
don't want to draw attention,"
There was the murmur of a few complains, and one man spoke up, "What
are we waiting for then?" "Orders" the leader said coldly, "Permission
from master Shadow to continue. I'm sending transmission to him now."
"To hell with waiting for Shadow's permission, I'm going!" The one man
said starting his boosters and began flying down to the town.
Suddenly there was a blast. BOOM! There had been the sound of a
machine gun. The Caprias turned to the leader. They were shocked but
they had also expected it.
"Fool" the head Capria said. "No one does anything without Shadow's
orders. We work as one mind, only that way will we win and if he
hasn't learned that yet, then he deserved to die. Still waiting for
transmission." The leader turned to the group of now 29. "Anyone
else?" No one moved. "Good"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"The Carprias are asking permission to attack Peachville right now."
"The time?" "2:47" "MmmÖ" the Shadow said stratching his chin.
"Tell them to wait. Wait till 3:01PM. Not a second early,
understand." "Yes SIR" The man turned to take off but was stopped by
the Shadow's voice.
"Wait" "Sir?" "Tell them to take 18 boys instead of 15. Tell them to
leave no one alive. No survivors means no witness. Civilians or no
civilians" "Yes SIR"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero looked at his watch again. 2:58. "Bother, won't anything
happen?" Wufei declared. "Remember, we don't want anything to happen"
Trowa said quietly. "I know, but I can feel the battle coming," "Yes"
"Then why does it have to take so damn long to start. Why do they
have to be slow and dumb? Why can't they be fast, dumb, and be done
with it?"
"Well now, if they were as smart as you, they would be good guys then
right?" Trowa mocked. Wufei shut up. If Trowa showed that he was
annoyed by mocking someone, he was actually more than annoyed.
Heero let the control handle full out of his hand slowly and scratched
the back of his other hand. This was annoying but necessary. A voice
suddenly appeared on the air. Wufei. "Do you see some disturbance in
the southern area? Where that little town is down the hill is?"
Trowa's voice then came on the air, "Not really. The map says that
it's a nuclear power plant town. That may be why. You can see the
power plant from here. See that tall gray tower?" "Yeah. I guess"
Heero was silent. A little town, there was something about that
little town that stuck him as being so innocent. It was at the bottom
of a hill, a flat meadow really, and it was mostly surround by forest.
Stop, forest? Heero clicked away on his computer, and looked at the
little town from a bird's eye view. That's why it was SO innocent, it
would be SO easy to attack.
Suddenly the Perfect Soldier kicked in. He didn't why he was going to
do this, he just would. He began to scan the forest. Is that a
heat source? Something clicked when the image cleared, "Guys,
come on!" Heero cried out as he blasted his way down the hill. "WHAT
ARE YOU DOING?" Milliardo cried.
The rest of the pilots didn't say anything. They trusted each
other's instinct, especially Heero's.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sally and Catherine hadn't been bored for a second. Though they knew
most of it already, but they were wide-awake. Catherine leaned over to
Sally and whispered into her ear, "I don't know why I'm not bored,
but I'm not. For heaven sakes, they're *suppose* to be boring.
For heaven sakes, it's politics, it's *suppose* to be boring. It's
gotta be the way she goes about it, that makes you wanna listen."
Sally could only nod.
Relena paused. "Is there any questions on the AFEP #74 project?"
There was none. She *had* to smile. She knew why the briefing on the
first subject would be quick. Normally it would take the hour to do
one dicussion, today it was about 15 minutes, Well might as well
get on with it then
Relena glanced at Noin who nodded. It meant go on.
"Well the last issue at hand is about the Obeterians and the Gundams
pilots. Many know that they are my allies and friends. The
Obeterians had been build to enforce peace and were allowed to be used
peacekeeping machines. Yet the Gundams were destroyed. I have a
question. Where the Gundams not peacekeepers as much as the
Obeterians? Yes, they were fighting machines, but who says that they
can't be peacekeeping machines? They were never given a chance.
It is not fair to their pilots either. Since I know the pilots, I know
that the Gundams are a big piece of who they are. To have a part of
you destroyed because of it fighting side without having a change to
prove the peaceful side is wrong.
We have learned from the war that people should be given second chance.
I ask you one questionÖ should the gundams be given anotherÖ.. chance?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Quatre was typing furiously with Dorothy hanging over his shoulder.
She just didn't get this stuff and about to sigh in irritation when
Quatre jumped out of his seat. "GODS, NO!" "What Quatre, what's
wrong?"
"I've got to tell the others. I've got to tell the others!" Quatre
ran over to the door of the plane.
"What on earth?" Dorothy asked confused as ever.
Suddenly she saw the screen the laptop that had been tossed aside. On
the screen in big bright red letters were: ATTACK. SLAUGHTER ALL.
Battle was beautiful, all living things had a destructive natureÖ.
But slaughter had no place in this world.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The reports seemed to forget their place and began to roar their
agreement. Minister Darlian stood from her seat. "Shouldn't the
Gundams be allllllllllooooooooooowwwwÖ.." there was sudden shaking of
the building causing Relena to stop. It was an earthquake, Relena
thought as she fell to her hands and and knees. The shaking was
furious and then it stopped. Yet the action had did its damage.
Cameras and people were scattered everywhere. There were people crying
and people calling out to her. Relena stood away from the table and
tried to get around the table to help. There was a sudden tightening
around her wrist. Noin. Her eyes flashed with worry.
"Relena we have to get out of here." "But the people" "*Relena*, we
need you to be safe. Please Relena, Milliardo would never forgive me
if anything happened to you." Relena sighed in defeat. Second time
today.
"Ok, just wait a second," She grabbed the mic and spoke loudly.
"Stop the noise, PLEASE. Calm down everyone, don't worry. It was
probably just a small earthquake. I suggest that everyone calms down
and tries their best to recollect themselves." Noin stepped in, "Be
strong, look at your queen"
That got everyone. They all stared at the 18-year-old girl who was
standing straight up without a single thing out of composure. The
people then started to get themselves organized with their "brave"
queen in mind. What a great story was in all reporters mind,
temporarily forgetting about the news about the Gundams and the
"earthquake".
Sally and Catherine were on their feet. It was one of the few things
they were taught when becoming a Obeterian pilot. To defiant gravity.
The two girls looked at each other seriously. What was that all
about? "I'll call the others to see what's up" Sally said and
Catherine nodded, "I'm going to sneak closer to Relena. I don't know
what that was, but she's definitely a part of it" The two girls, (or
should I say teenagers) ran off.
Catherine hurried over to Noin who had Relena by her wrist. Noin
looked at the girl and nodded whispering. "We should get somewhere
safe." Catherine nodded. "Yes, I've got just the place. Milliardo
has given the boys a few suits in the warehouse. Let's hide there"
(Relena did NOT hear this)
"How far is it?" "Not much, but it's better if we run" "UmÖ sorry to
interrupt, but why are we running? It was just a silly little
earthquake right? Or a test or something?" Relena's voice cut
through their their quiet conversation. Noin nodded, "That's probably
the reason, but just in case, we're going to get somewhere safe."
Relena nodded. "Ok"

Hilde was dreamingÖ. Running through a lush meadow full of flowersÖ.
Suddenly the ground beneath her shakes and crumblesÖ. she begins to
fallÖ. FallÖÖ.FALLÖÖ. "AHHH!" Hilde cried out as she fell out of the
pilot's chair.
Now fully awake, she looked around. She hadn't dreamed that the ground
was shaking, it really was. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!" She
quickly stood up to look outside. What she saw, made her mouth drop.
It was like a a nuclear war outside. Seeing that the plane was on top
of a hill, Hilde was able to see another town not so far away. And it
was burning. Burning to the ground.
"There is something very wrong about this" a voice said behind.
Quatre. Dorothy looked over and gasped. "Oh my dear god" Suddenly
Hilde whipped around. "Where is Relena?" "Don't worry, Sally, Noin
and Catherine are looking after her." Dorothy said still gasping at
the sight.
"Meanwhile, what should do now?" Dorothy asked. She was a bit
uncertain of what to do. She didn't have her suit or in fact any suit,
so she couldn't fight. Quatre took her hand, "Don't worry, I'm sure
the guys are doing something right now. We should contact the others
and get the plane somewhere safe. The last thing we want is the plane
to be targeted."
"Got it, hold on" Hilde said grabbing the controls. "Quatre, you
call. Dorothy, sit" "Already on my way" Dorothy just fell into the
seat beside Hilde. "This is going to be some vacation." Dorothy
sighed. Hilde winked.
"Of course. Spending any time with Relena is like going on a roller
coaster. Just worse" "And I hate roller coasters" Hilde laughed
bitterly. "Yeah. Don't forget the fact that you can be scared to
death." Dorothy looked thoughtful. "And Relena has to go through this
everyday. Poor dollÖ poor dollÖ. Poor dollÖ. Wait a sec" "What?"
"What is we taught her some self-defense moves? She wouldn't be such a
doll then" "Yeah, as if self-defense is going to stop a bullet."
"No, but if we taught her how to use her surrounds as shields and dodge
bullets it might." "MmmÖ.. you know, that's an idea"
"What is?" Quatre asked curiously at the two. "Nothing" the girls
chorused. "WellÖ I've to a message from Milliardo, he's in the
warehouse over there. He said go into it, the plane, not to mention we
will be safe there."
"Where's Duo?" "Milliardo said that he's with him" "I see"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The three suits flew high in the air. Though they were already at the
edge of town, they couldn't risk anyone seeing them. "I SEE THEM!"
Trowa called out. "TO SECTOR 34 EAST!" None of them knew how big the
hill was until now.
The Caprias had all stepped out of the forest and now were powering up.
Powering up to destroy something. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Trowa
cried as they aimed at the Power Plant.
"Are they fools?! If the plant is operating, we'll all die!" Wufei
cried out to the others. "Stupid idiots!" Heero didn't understand
all the shouting and calling out that was coming from Wufei and Trowa.
PerhapsÖ. Just perhaps peace had dulled their edge. Maybe they had
found something to live forÖ.. like Catherine and Sally.
Heero looked at the town and knewÖ.. He knew that whatever those suits
had in mind, they would get away with it before the gundam pilots
could reach them. "D*mn it. We're not going to make it in time"
Heero gritted through his teeth. Quickly he typed some instructions.
The camera on his suit quickly got to work. Heero clenched his fist.
He might not be able to stop this town from being destroyed, but he
would make sure some would pay todayÖ. And later the rest of them would
pay for harming a defenseless town.
Suddenly there were the sounds of blasts in the air. The four of the
suits had finally powered all the way up and fired on the power plant.
The plant glowed with an orb of orange light. The orb seemed to
crack as smoke and yellow light emerged into view exploding and
spreading around the town.
He heard a voice, a battle cry. "How dishonorable! Those low-lifeÖ.
Monsters. Even lower then women whoÖÖ" "Shut up and attack" Heero
commanded as they reached the last half-mile.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Caprias had already settle into the town, making people scream all
around. The lead Caprias flew over to a tall large building, a
school. It wasn't long before the students inside came streaming out.
"Men, get the students. Make sure it's the right type (sex if you're
wondering)"
The leader quickly picked up a girl and nodded at the rest of the
group. Good, everyone has a subject. "Let's go! Diversion Caprias
fire in ten seconds." That would allow the Caprias to flee far enough
so that their captive wouldn't die from the blast.
There were screams coming from the captivesÖ the female ones. Like his.
Bring the girl up to his face, he shouted, "SHUT UP!" The girl began
crying but did as he said. Better. 5Ö..4Ö.3Ö.2Ö..1ÖÖ
The leader nodded and was just going to head out when he heard a man
shout. "What's that? A mobile suit?"
The leader scowled. He knew this would happen. They were too d*mn
close to the Minister this time, but this was what the Shadow wanted.
He wanted the attention, but still wanted all witness to die.
"Diversion Caprias, take care of them. The rest of you follow me. We
need to get the subjects back to the base." With that the leader flew
away closely followed by the others. "No wait for me!" A lone Capria
cried out as he tried to get a subject.
Unfortunately for him, when the students had left the building, they
had all taken the south side. Like on plan, but few were suppose to
take the West Side. None had. He had to get a subject! He scanned
the area for any heat source. Got oneÖ. LocatingÖÖ found itÖ.. A
blond-haired girl. And she was stupid, standing in one place screaming
her head off.
"I can't die! I'm too beautiful to die!" The man shook his head with
disgust and picked her up anyways which only increased the girl's
screams. "SHUP UP GIRL! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DIE!" That didn't helpÖ
it only increased the girl's annoying screams. Deciding to ignore the
screams, the man was just about to try to catch up with the others
when a mobile suit popped in front of him.
"WHAT?!" The man cried.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Wufei, Trowa and Heero had finally arrived to the battle. (You have to
remember, things are moving a lot faster then what you're readingÖ..
so the hill wasn't as long as it might sound)
Almost immediately they were faced with four mobile suits. "New suits"
Trowa noted. "They have a laser on the right and a shield to their
left. And their armor is amazing." Wufei added after scanning the
suits. "Not to mention that there is not record of these types of
suits. They're new"
Heero input this into his head, but was more interested in something
else. Where were the rest of the suits? He scanned the areaÖÖ. They
had all disappearedÖ. Except one moving south. "Take care of these."
He stated and flew off. "Who does he think ordering us around?"
Wufei mumbled as he got his gun out and began to fire. "You do it all
the time. In battle we consistently order each other around, if you
haven't noticed" "Hump"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero looked at the mobile suit in front of him. A weakling for sure.
The suit was good, maybe as good as the up to date old gundams,
(without updates) but it still depended on the pilots ability. Which
was for this pilot was limited, since he was holding a screaming girl.
Heero winced. What an annoying sound, but she still needed saving.
He would have to be careful not to blow up the suit, thus the girl
would die. Maybe he could taunt the pilot in dropping the girl.
Changing his network to match his opponent, he called out. "Weakling!"
(I wonder where he learned that from)
"What?" "You're a weakling!" "How did you get into this line?! WaitÖ
what do you mean by weakling?!" Heero bit his lip. Fool. He could
have easily killed him by now. "Using a human shield"
"WHAT?!" "The girl" The pilot swore and dropped the girl. The girl
cried out and didn't move. Broken bone no doubt. Unfortunately her
tongue wasn't broken in the process. (That's our Heero)
"You're master is a weakling to for having such weak soldier." "MASTER
SHADOW IS NOT WEAK!" "Oh really? Yeah right, sure" Fool, giving
affirmation that his master was indeed Shadow.
"Oh my god" The girl gasped. He was drop-dead gorgeous, a man to dream
about, a man from a magazine, a knight in shining armor. If her leg
wasn't hurting as much as it did, she would have thrown herself on him.
Heero looked at the girl in distaste. A student no doubt, for she was
wearing the usual uniform. But the shirt was a tad too short, the
jacket was open and the blouse had a button undone. Inappropriate.
Her hair was a dyed blond with strawberry streaks, and the girl had
blue-coloured contacts, as the contacts were too big for her pupils.
Heero could guess that she was a brunette, with brown-gray eyes. She
had too much make-up. Her lips too red, her blue eye shadow coated
on. He would dumb her right now, if her leg wasn't broken. He quickly
went over to her and felt her leg. He heard her gasp.
No one touches me me unless I say The girl thought. But I'll
forgive him. He's so bold, so cute, so SEXY! Look at that BODY,
and HAIR and look at his EYES. I'm sure anyone would drown in them.
He's so HOT, HOT, HOT! I bet he has all of those "bad-boy" charms I
LOVE. (Yes this girl is a 24/7 creep)
Never had a guy touch her with her permission, he mused. The leg
wasn't broken, only sprained at worse. "And you stand?" "Yes, of
course, with help" "Then don't stand because I'm not going to help you
up. I'll take you to Detroit for a doctor." Heero turned to head
back into the Tauro.
"WAIT!" the girl cried. What kind of man was this? Most guys would
notice her beauty, her big bust, her glossy hair and lips, her loosened
blouse. Most would want to meet her. She was in fact the most
popular girl at school. He stop but did not turn.
"What's your name?" "My name is irralevant" "OhÖÖ My name is
Katherine. My father isÖ.." "I don't care" Katie stopped. How Dare
he treat her so! Did he have any idea who he was talking to? Then
again there was something SO attractive about him, that she could
ignore his manners for the time. She would find out who he was.
Content with the fact that she was going to stay with him for some
time, she stopped talking and stared dreamily at the young man inside
the suit.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
No problem at all. The men were weak as usual. Wufei dropped his
laser sword and stretched. Nice workout. He had missed the
excitement, the exploding into pieces of the enemy. Suddenly there was
a noise. He looked up. Heero. He had returned from his rabbit-chase
or whatever it really was.
A girl? Why on earth was he carrying a girl? "She was captured by one
of those machines. Sprained ankle. I'm taking to a doctor. That's
it." Heero said over the line, making sure that the girl could hear as
well.
"WHAT? Is that all I am to you? A girl?" "Yes. A pathetic person
who can't take care of him or herself." Wufei answered promptly. "I
didn't ask you!"
"Hump. Suit yourself" Trowa's voice came over the line, directing it
only to Wufei and Heero. "She's going to be a bother, a problem.
She's weak, not like our girls who can take care of themselves in their
own way. She's already attached to you Heero like most whimsy girls
are to dangerous men. Make sure you get rid of her after she is taken
care of."
"I know what I am doing" "I know. But is it the right choice, Heero?"
*Is it the right choice, Heero?* ^A^Well that's it for now. Wasn't that a sudden turn in the story?
I have only one question... how on earth did that girl squeeze her way
into this story? What a SNOB! I'll have to done something with her...
Heero comes into the scene
"Let me take care of it" Oh NO you don't Heero. "Just try to stop
me" Laughs... I don't have to, RELENA!!!! Relena appears out of
no where
"Heero," warning tone, "she's another cilivan. She is under *MY*
protection. She has the right to live" "Hump" Relena drags Heero
off the scene
Good that's taken care of. I'm thinking of trying something new. It's
an idea that I'm going to call the BREAK after every 5th chapter or so.
This is how the idea goes, after the 5th chapter, all readers e-mail me
at my e-mail. At this time, you tell your comments, questions, what
you think will happen, what you would change in the already written
chapters and so on.... If you have a really good discussion, I'll
write you back and we'll talk. I'll copy the e-mail and post it with
the BREAK. Like the idea? You have to tell me so I can get ready for
it.
One more thing...... E-MAIL ME at
pixie_angel_girl@hotmail.com. Remember... key words: Blackmail, if
no E-mails. OOOOOOOOOOO, XXXXXXXXXXXXXX and Cookies Pixie^A^
