Laaaaaaadiiiiiiiiiies and gentleman, boys and girls, and all you other people out there who do not fit into those categories cause you're waaaaay too freaky, I think I'm gonna do something slightly different. This is the first fanfiction I'm gonna write that is not part of my When Cartoons Collide series. (If you haven't read it, read it. If you've read it, read it again.) This one is going to be focused solely on the gundam pilots.(and perhaps some of the other characters from gundam wing.) But I can guarantee that it will have my name written all over it... I don't mean that literally, I just mean that I'm going to give it that special touch I have and make it the strangest thing you've ever read. Hmmm... That gives me an idea... I make these fanfics up as I go, but you knew that, right? I just got an idea that will change the general story line a bit... And now, I give you a ME presentation, written by ME, directed by ME, produced by ME, not starring ME, but starring the five gundam pilots, and... Uh... Edited by ME!!! The title... I'll work on that later. And now for our feature presentation.....
One other little thing... The truth behind operation meteor isn't revealed until the second section.
Once upon a colony, long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away, on a dark and stormy night... A boy was born. His real name was Ibngitzfern Koalachihuahua Takafratzgibbon. Everyone called him Trowa Barton though. Nobody knows why they called him Trowa Barton. After all, he had a perfectly decent name, right? But, for reasons unknown to... Uh... Well, unknown to frosty the snowman, Santa Claus, and my little stuffed teddy bear, they called him Trowa Barton. Uh... Okay, I don't think theres much he can do the first day he's alive, so I'm going to move on to the other four pilots, do a hop skip and perhaps a tiny little jump in time, and continue with the story. (Keep in mind the fact that I DO NOT have a little stuffed teddy bear as you read the next sentence and a half.)
On that very same day, another boy was born. His name was Big Bird, and he has nothing to do with my story, at least for right now, but I thought he should at least be mentioned since he's the one who took over 40 of the colonies and destroyed 14 others.
About a week after that, another boy was born. His real name was Quatre Rabarba Winner, but everyone called him Quatre Rabarba Winner. He had something to do with my story, so I wrote about him.
Two days after that, another boy was born. His name was Wufei... Uh... (Damn, I can't remember his name... I'd better not let the readers know that.) Well, they kept his last name a secret. Yeah, that's it. It was a secret. One of his uncles called him Bert, both of his aunts called him Scooby Doo, his sister called him stupid, and his mother called him 'hey, you.' But that doesn't really matter. So on to the next gundam pilot. (By the way, I'm not stupid, I know his last name is Chang. Or at least I think it is... I don't know. If I'm right, I knew it all the time. If I'm wrong, it was a conspiracy and I was set up.)
That same day, another boy was born (Big surprise) and his name was Duo Maxwell. His parents owned a coffee company. He had a pet turtle in the fourth grade, got straight A's in 7th grade, had a part time job as a model in his first year of college, and I think I'll just shut up now before I reveal that this fanfic is about.... Wow, that was close.
On that same day, during that very same hour, minute, and second, another boy was born. His name was Ikniskelskey Ziznotorles Kraketioa. Okay, so it wasn't. I lied. Sue me. Keep in mind the fact that I don't actually want you to sue me. However, if you're male, single, and cute, you can... Um... Well, back to the story. Anyways, the kids name was Hero Yui, but he changed it to Heero Yuy.
Um... Er... What the hell. 10 years later...
10 years later.... The gundam pilots are 10 years old... They are in 5th grade... They are waiting for their first speaking part in my little fanfic... "God damn it, you stupid ass teacher lady, LEAVE ME ALONE! I don't want to do this pointless crap you call homework!" Duo said, tossing the huge stack of papers at his teacher, hitting her on the head. "Hah! Take that, bitch!" And then, much to Duos disappointment, he woke up. "Heeeeey.... That dream was just starting to get good. Hmmm..." He was abnout to check his alarm clock for the time when the alarm went off. "Well, that answers that question..." He muttered. For the past few days he had been having a bit of trouble getting to sleep and woke up a bit earlier than usual. He didn't really know why that was, though it seemed to have something to do with a boy in his class. Every time he saw him, his mind went blank and his legs turned to jelly. Every time he thought about him, seconds turned into minutes, and minutes into hours. He spent a lot of time thinking about that boy, picuring him in his mind, mentally saying his name over and over again, and he couldn't quite figure out why. "Well, I'd better get ready for school. The whole school part sucks, but hey, at least I'll get to see Heero." Duo began to commence preparing for school.
In the dark, scary depths of the bedroom belonging to a boy who called himself Heero Yuy... Heero sat in front of his computer, gathering information about the school. "Well well... It looks like I was right after all. I can't believe they had such an easy security system. Hmmm.... So that's what you're doing there. I guess I'll just have to pay a visit to that little laboratory of yours under the cafeteria later on." Heero glanced at the clock and saw that it was almost time to go to school. "Time for school already? I guess cracking that security system took a bit longer than I had thought it would." Heero sighed and went outside to wait for the bus.
On the bus headed for the very school that Heero and Duo went to... I can't believe I almost missed the bus... I guess I shouldn't have stayed up so late last night. Quatre looked out the window next to him. Well, there are are only two more stops left before we arrive at the school. I wonder if I can manage to... Quatre yawned. Stay awake at least until school is over. Quatre felt the bus come to a stop and glanced out the window again. Not very many people around here go to the same school I do, I guess. Only those two guys get on this bus. There's that one boy, Heero, I think his name is. He usually keeps to himself. He always seems to be off somewhere in his mind, thinking about something. And then there's Trowa. Not too long after I started taking the bus to school, he started sitting next to me, and after a while we became friends.
Quatre watched as Trowa and Heero got on board. Heero sat off by himself, like he did every day, and Trowa walked towards the back of the bus to where Quatre was sitting. "Hi, Trowa." Quatre said cheerfully, despite how tired he felt. "Hey, Quatre. You don't look all that great... You stay up late or something?" Trowa asked him. "Yeah... I finally got to the last level on that game, and then the power went out. I just couldn't go to sleep without at least knowing what was on that level, and so I waited for about an hour for the ower to come back on, and then I played it through to the last level again. That's a whole 99 levels. The first 90 or so didn't take very long, 'cause I knew all the shorcuts and everything, but then those last nine took a while." Trowa laughed. "I wonder if you'll be able to stay awake through class today." Quatre smiled and said "Probably not. If I fall asleep, wake me up, okay?" Trowa agreed, and then the bus arrived at the last stop.
Wufei boarded the bus calmly, not paying much attention to what was going on aboard it. He walked to the very back of the bus and found an empty seat. He sat down and his mind went back to that math homework he had been given. Usually math was his strong suit, but this time he had encountered a few hard problems. I hope I got them all right... About 10 or 15 other kids boarded the bus, and just before the doors closed, that boy with the braid came running towards the bus yelling "Don't leave yet!" The doors were already in the process of closing by the time he got there, and he dove between them onto the floor. "Uh... Hi!" he said, looking up at the bus driver, who was looking at him with no particular interest. Then again, Duo had done stuff like that so many times before, it had become something everyone expected. The only time anyone stared in desbelief was when Duo was on time and walked up the stairs onto the bus like everyone else. "Uh... Hehehe... I think I dropped my homework when I did that... Oh well." Duo said, and walked towards the vacant seat next to Heero. "Um... Mind if I sit here, Heero?" He asked. Heero, looking like he was in deep thought, didn't reply, and Duo sat down next to him.
That Duo kid is weird... He never does his homework and always has some unbelievable excuse for it. And he always sits next to Heero, even though Heero usually ignores him. That blond boy over there always talks to that other kid. I think his name is Quatre... I don't remember the other ones name. And over there is that little group of five girls. They always sit together, except for that one... I think her name's Relena... She usually asks Heero if the seat next to him is taken, but he always tells her it is... I don't really understand that. Heero usually ignores Duo completely, and although he doesn't say all that much, he's willing to talk to just about anyone but Duo, but he never lets anyone but Duo sit next to him. It doesn't make any sense at all, at least not to me. From what I understand, Heero doesn't want anyone other than Duo to sit next to him, especially Relena, yet he never says a word to Duo. Very odd...
The bus arrived at the school, and all the kids got off. Quatre was walking towards his classroom when he suddenly couldn't manage to keep himself awake any longer and literally fell asleep. He fell forward, and would have had a very unpleasant awakening, if it wasn't for Trowa. Trowa caught Quatre before hit hit the ground and woke him up. "Huh? What happened?" Quatre asked, just barely awake. "You fell asleep while walking and almost got your nose ground into the asphalt." Quatre blushed and continued walking to the classroom followed closely by Trowa.
Duo arrived in the classroom and sat as his desk. As usual, he was the last one in. The teacher walked around the room collecting homework, and then got to Duo. "Duo, do you have your homework?" She asked. "Um... Well, you see, I know I shouldn't have, but I turned my homework into a paper airplane." "Well, at least you have it. You do have it, don't you, Duo?" "Well... I would... But, ya see, after I made my homework into a paper airplane, it got hijacked." The teacher sighed and then asked Duo why he couldn't just do his homework once in a while, but Duo wasn't paying any attention. "Duo!" She said a bit louder. "Huh?" "I asked you a question." "Oh, sorry, I was lost in thought. "Yes, well I understand its new territory for you, but you should pay attention." The teacher continued to collect homework. She got to Heeros desk and asked him for his homework. "I didn't do it." He said. That was very unusual, as Heero almost always had his homework done and done perfectly. "Why not, Heero?" Heero muttered something. "What?" "I said it was the least important thing that I needed to get done, and so I didn't have enough time after I had done everything else to do my homework."
The teacher looked at Heero sternly and said "Heero, what could you possibly have to do tha is more important than your homework?" Duo, having spent a large quantity of time with Heero, noticed that Heero was beginning to get angry. No one else seemed to notice though. "There are a lot of things more important than homework." "Really? If it's so important that you couldn't do your homework, tell me what it is." Duo could tell Heero was getting extremely pissed off. "Uh-oh." Duo said, and ducked under his desk. Heero reached into his back pack and pulled out a firearm. He aimed it right at the teacher and jumped out of his chair. Heero ran back towards the door and, before going into the hallway, said "You want to know so badly, why don't I just do it now and show you." Heero ran down the hall towards the cafeteria and charged through the double doors. There was only a lunch lady in the room at that time, and she hadn't seen Heero yet. Heero dove under a table where he wouldn't be spotted for a few moments, at least, and thought carefully. After a few seconds, he ran towards the janitors closet located by the other entrance to the cafeteria. He opened the door and jumped inside, just barely avoiding being seen. He flipped the lightswitch and found the button behind a pile of junk that opened up a secret trap door in the floor.
Heero climbed down the spiral staircase that led into the secret headquarters under the school. He went down about 100 feet before the staircase finally ended. He looked around and saw tables covered in test tubes filled with all kinds of liquids, small cages containing lab rats, and many other things that looked like nothing he had ever seen before. He walked around, examining everything, and then went to the next room. Inside the room there were huge cages filled with horrible, grotesque, mutated monstrosities. Heero walked over to one of the cages and examined the beast inside.
Its head was about the size of a bulls head, but it didn't have any horns or any evidence of horns ever having been there. Its body was roughly human shaped, but about four times as big as Heero. The creature had a tail much like a scorpions, only instead of one stinger, it had curved stingers jutting out everywhere on the lower fourth of it. The creature had four arms. Three of the arms were exactly te same size, and had three razor-sharp claws on them that looked to be about a foot long each. The fourth arm was smaller, about the size of the average humans, but the fingers were webbed with steel. The steel wasn't put there, it was somehow mutated onto the creature, making the steel a part of its body. at the tips of its fingers on that hand it had miniature versions of the stingers on its tail. The thing was covered in very shiny, refletive scales, making it hard to look at the creature in any kind of light. The creature had three eyes all lined up in a row on one side of its head, and three on the other. it had large, flaring nostrils that seemed as if they would be able to pick up scents for miles round. But its most disturbing feature was the mouth. It had two snake-like tongues that flicked in and out of its mouth constantly. Saliva dripped down from its teeth, which were quite horrible to see. The teeth were each about as thick as the average human finger, but the smallest of them were three feet long. Needless to say, the creatures mouth was enormous, being able to hold those teeth in it. The things jaw dropped down to its waist, teeth sharper than a thousand razors put together sticking out at all angles. "Wow... If that thing bit someone, they'd probably die instantly. If not, they'd beg to be killed."
Heero looked around at all the creatures in the cages, and each one was worse than the previous one. By the time Heero saw the last creature in that room, the first one seemed as harmless as a toothless, clawless kitten. Heero walked out of that room into the next room, shuddering at the thought of those beasts getting loose. Unfortunately for him, the next room was also very unpleasant. There were tanks filled with people. The people in the tanks were in some sort of acid. Acid that was eating away at their flesh. And worst of all, the people in the tanks were somehow being kept alive. They attempted to scream, but were unsuccessful in their attempt, choking on acid. Some of the people in that room had been in there long enough so that their skin had been rotted off in most places, and their internal organs were visible. Heero felt as if he were about to vomit, and ran through the room into the next one, avoiding looking at any of the people. Before he got to the next room, he accidentally made eye contact with one of them. It was a woman, and her skeleton, veins, muscles and organs were visible everywhere except for her head. Her head was still more or less intact, and her eyes met Heeros. Heero saw deep into her eyes, and saw the torment and pain beyond them. Heero closed his eyes and vomited. He ran into the next room, keeping his eyes closed the whole way. Once in the next room, Heero sat down by the door and remained there for several minutes, wondering what kind of psychopathic bastard had done this...
Back at the classroom Heero had run from... Duo waited until nobody was looking his way and ran out the door in an attempt to follow Heero. Well, the general direction he was headed in was this way. At least I think it was. I didn't have much time to see where he went before the door closed behind him. Duo ran towards the cafeteria. He opened one of the doors and snuck inside quietly. He glanced around, trying to see where Heero might have gone, and he spotted a light through the crack at the bottom of the door to the janitors closet. The light is always off in there unless the janitors in there getting his supplies, and the janitor doesn't come until tomorrow. Duo dashed for the janitors closet and scrambled quickly to get inside before anyone could see him. "Huh?!? There's a trap door here! This must be where Heero went!" Duo jumped down into the trap door and began to descend the stairs. Once he got to the bottom, he started walking through the room he was in, looking for Heero. I'd better not make any noise, just in case someone else is down here... He couldn't find Heero in that room, so he went into the next room. "Wow! Look at all these things! Sharp teeth, long claws, bad B.O.... They all remind me of my teacher. Hmmm... Well, there doesn't appear to be anywhere Heero could be hiding in here, but then again... Jumping into a cage containing a viscious, blood-thirsty, flesh-eating monster sounds like just the kind of thing Heero would do."
Duo started walking around, looking in all the cages, trying to see if he can see Heero in any of them. "Well, either he isn't in here, or he's decided to hide in one of these guys' stomaches..." Duo ran over to the door to the next room and opened it. "What the hell?! I think I'm gonna puke... What kind of demented wacko would do this?" Duo covered his eyes and ran towards the door to the next room. He opened up the door and ran inside, closing it behind him. "That... Was... Totally disgusting. I'm gonna kill whatever fucked up asshole did that!" Heero stood up and walked over to Duo. "So you saw it too, huh?" Duo stared at Heero. "You look like you weren't quite able to keep from spewing." Heero turned his gaze towards the ground. "I couldn't. Before I made it in here, I... I accidentally made direct eye contact with one of them. I saw nothing but pain in her eyes. The bastards behind this have found a way to make them live through all that, even though their bodies are being destroyed by the acid." Duo shivered in disgust. "Well... Let's just keep going. My guess is you want to destroy this place and whoever created it, and I want to help." Duo and Heero began walking towards the next room...
"QUATRE!" Trowa said in a loud whisper. "Huh? What? The answer is 42!" Quatre said, half asleep. "Quatre, you fell asleep again. You're going to get caught and you're going to get in trouble. Try to stay awake!" Trowa said, and then continued to listen to the lesson. "Okay, Trowa, I'll try to bake you a cake, but..." Quatre yawned. "I think I'll take a nap first." "No! I don't want you to bake me a cake, I want you to stay awake!" Trowa hissed at him. "Are you sure? I can bake pretty well. I like chocolate cake... It's my favorite." Quatres eyelids began drooping, and he fell asleep. He fell forward and hit his head on the desk, making a loud noise. The teacher turned around and looked at Quatre. "Quatre? Quatre? Quatre! Wake up!" Quatre raised his head and squinted at the teacher. "No, I don't have any make-up, you're going to have to go buy some." And then he fell asleep again. Trowa looked at Quatre hopelessly. "Trowa? Why does Quatre keep falling asleep?" The teacher asked him. "He stayed up late last night. So far he's fallen asleep 17 times. He fell asleep walking to the classroom and I just barely caught him before he hit the ground. That's not the only time he's been close to getting hurt because he's fallen asleep. He almost got the sharpened end of his pencil up his nose one time..." "Trowa, I didn't ask you what's happened every time he's fallen asleep." The teacher asked. "Sorry, Mr. Treize guy lady sir ma'am person."
"So just what is this place? Why is it under the school?" Duo asked. "It's some kind of laboratory. And as for being under the school, well, would you think of looking for a lab hidden under a school?" Duo thought about it for a minute. "Well, after this, I would. But I guess I wouldn't if I hadn't seen this place, so, no..." The two walked deeper into the lab, through several rooms filled with things far too gruesome and horrible to be imagined by anyone other than the sickest of people. "When I find out who is behind all this, that person is going to wish he was never born. I'm going to put whoever did all this in one of those tanks full of acid, and once his flesh has been dissolved, I'll feed him to one of those monsters back there in the second room. Or her. I don't know if the person that did this is male or female. But whoever it is, he or she is gonna pay bigtime." "SO, YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO KILL ME USING MY OWN MUTANTS AND ACID, DO YOU? HAHAHAHAHA!!! I DON'T THINK SO!" A voice said, coming from the shadows, echoing all throughout the room. A megaphone fell down from the rafters circling the top of the room. "Sorry, I just had to make sure you heard me. But then, this room has a nice echo, so I dont have to worry about that." Heero thought hard for a few moments. "You sound just like the principal!" "AHAHAHAHAHA!!! I AM the principal, Heero! Though I don't actually look like him. And my name is not the name he has. He is just a disguise I use. My true name is Judecca A. Gunner. And as for what I look like, you'll have to catch me to find that out!" From about 50 feet up, from the rafters just below the ceiling, a shadowy figure jumped down to the ground, his cape fluttering behind him. He hit the ground running, and went into the next room.
"Come on, let's get that son of a bitch! If I get to him first, there isn't going to be anything left of him for you to do anything to!" Heero yelled, running to the door to the next room with Duo right beside him. "Hey I wanna cause that psycho some major pain too, ya know!" Heero shoved open the door and they both scrambled into the room, jumping away from the door as fast as they could in case Judecca had a gun or something. As soon as they had cleared the area they had been standing when they opened the door, 8 bullets made 8 dents right where they had been seconds before. "Only 2 bullets left in each six-shooter... Good thing I've got lots more guns! Come on, lets see you try to catch me, you little runts! But I warn you, this all goes on your permanent record. So be careful!" The shadowy, cape-wearing figure jumped out from behind a bunch of shelves containing ammunition, guns, and knives and tossed a knife at Heero, spun around, and ran through the door to the next room. "That knife just barely missed me... And those bullets hit the exact spots we would have been if we hadn't jumped as soon as we got in here. And he was moving the whole time!!! That guy has good aim, a lot of guns, a lot of ammo, and knives, too. Well, luckily for us, he seems to have made a very large error. He left us in a room full of guns, so now we can arm ourselves." Duo looked around at all the guns. "Hey, you're right! We can take that bastard down!" Then they heard the dinging of a P.A. system, and they heard Judeccas voice say "attention all students located in the gun room, the monsters from the second room from the stairwell have been let loose and are headed your way. Oh, yes, and I've set the traps in the room so that if you touch so much as a bullet in there, you both die. Ciao!" Duo and Heero ran towards the door Judecca had run through and pushed it open. They ran into the next room and kept running for the room after that. "Damn it! A psycho with guns and a whole shitload of monsters. And we don't even know if there's a way out of here in this direction! We could be headed for a dead end!"
Duo could be right... Argh! Why did I have to come down here now? Why couldn't I have waited until my Gundam was completed? That was stupid of me... A careless mistake on my part. And now, because of it, not only am I going to die, but because of MY mistake, Duo is going to die as well... No. I won't let that happen! "Duo, I can promise you one thing right now, and that is that I am going to get us out of here alive. I don't know how yet, but I will!" The two were almost to the door to the next room when the door they had just come through shattered into pieces and the monsters came running after them. They shoved open the door in front of them and shut it firmly behind them. Heero saw a button labelled 'In case of monster breakout, press button,' and pushed it. A layer of some kind of shiny metal appeared over the door, and written on it were the words 'Titanium Shell.' Heero and Duo continued running through the room, just in case, and heard the P.A. system again. "Oh, boys, guess what? That titanium shell will only hold out for exactly five more minutes against all those monsters. We had it tested, so I know. Oh, yes, and here's a little good-bye present for you." A bullet came from out of nowhere and hit Duo in the stomache. "Duo!" Heero yelled as Duo screamed in pain. "Duo! Ah, crap!" Heero went about getting the bullet out of Duos stomache, stopping the bleeding, and bandaging the wound as best as he could while the monsters made increasingly large dents on the door behind them...
Hehehe.... Guess what? That's all for now. This is the shortest chapter I've ever written... And it's the first chapter in a new series. I guess I should have made it a bit longer, but I had my mind set on doing that. So you'll have to wait for my next chapter to find out whether they survive or not and what happens to the other gundam pilots and all that. I hope you liked it, cause it's the most serious I've ever been before when writing, and if my stories are only good when funny, it would hurt my feelings for 3.2 seconds. We had it tested, so I know. HA! Anyways, TTFN (Ta ta for now), folks!
One other little thing... The truth behind operation meteor isn't revealed until the second section.
Once upon a colony, long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away, on a dark and stormy night... A boy was born. His real name was Ibngitzfern Koalachihuahua Takafratzgibbon. Everyone called him Trowa Barton though. Nobody knows why they called him Trowa Barton. After all, he had a perfectly decent name, right? But, for reasons unknown to... Uh... Well, unknown to frosty the snowman, Santa Claus, and my little stuffed teddy bear, they called him Trowa Barton. Uh... Okay, I don't think theres much he can do the first day he's alive, so I'm going to move on to the other four pilots, do a hop skip and perhaps a tiny little jump in time, and continue with the story. (Keep in mind the fact that I DO NOT have a little stuffed teddy bear as you read the next sentence and a half.)
On that very same day, another boy was born. His name was Big Bird, and he has nothing to do with my story, at least for right now, but I thought he should at least be mentioned since he's the one who took over 40 of the colonies and destroyed 14 others.
About a week after that, another boy was born. His real name was Quatre Rabarba Winner, but everyone called him Quatre Rabarba Winner. He had something to do with my story, so I wrote about him.
Two days after that, another boy was born. His name was Wufei... Uh... (Damn, I can't remember his name... I'd better not let the readers know that.) Well, they kept his last name a secret. Yeah, that's it. It was a secret. One of his uncles called him Bert, both of his aunts called him Scooby Doo, his sister called him stupid, and his mother called him 'hey, you.' But that doesn't really matter. So on to the next gundam pilot. (By the way, I'm not stupid, I know his last name is Chang. Or at least I think it is... I don't know. If I'm right, I knew it all the time. If I'm wrong, it was a conspiracy and I was set up.)
That same day, another boy was born (Big surprise) and his name was Duo Maxwell. His parents owned a coffee company. He had a pet turtle in the fourth grade, got straight A's in 7th grade, had a part time job as a model in his first year of college, and I think I'll just shut up now before I reveal that this fanfic is about.... Wow, that was close.
On that same day, during that very same hour, minute, and second, another boy was born. His name was Ikniskelskey Ziznotorles Kraketioa. Okay, so it wasn't. I lied. Sue me. Keep in mind the fact that I don't actually want you to sue me. However, if you're male, single, and cute, you can... Um... Well, back to the story. Anyways, the kids name was Hero Yui, but he changed it to Heero Yuy.
Um... Er... What the hell. 10 years later...
10 years later.... The gundam pilots are 10 years old... They are in 5th grade... They are waiting for their first speaking part in my little fanfic... "God damn it, you stupid ass teacher lady, LEAVE ME ALONE! I don't want to do this pointless crap you call homework!" Duo said, tossing the huge stack of papers at his teacher, hitting her on the head. "Hah! Take that, bitch!" And then, much to Duos disappointment, he woke up. "Heeeeey.... That dream was just starting to get good. Hmmm..." He was abnout to check his alarm clock for the time when the alarm went off. "Well, that answers that question..." He muttered. For the past few days he had been having a bit of trouble getting to sleep and woke up a bit earlier than usual. He didn't really know why that was, though it seemed to have something to do with a boy in his class. Every time he saw him, his mind went blank and his legs turned to jelly. Every time he thought about him, seconds turned into minutes, and minutes into hours. He spent a lot of time thinking about that boy, picuring him in his mind, mentally saying his name over and over again, and he couldn't quite figure out why. "Well, I'd better get ready for school. The whole school part sucks, but hey, at least I'll get to see Heero." Duo began to commence preparing for school.
In the dark, scary depths of the bedroom belonging to a boy who called himself Heero Yuy... Heero sat in front of his computer, gathering information about the school. "Well well... It looks like I was right after all. I can't believe they had such an easy security system. Hmmm.... So that's what you're doing there. I guess I'll just have to pay a visit to that little laboratory of yours under the cafeteria later on." Heero glanced at the clock and saw that it was almost time to go to school. "Time for school already? I guess cracking that security system took a bit longer than I had thought it would." Heero sighed and went outside to wait for the bus.
On the bus headed for the very school that Heero and Duo went to... I can't believe I almost missed the bus... I guess I shouldn't have stayed up so late last night. Quatre looked out the window next to him. Well, there are are only two more stops left before we arrive at the school. I wonder if I can manage to... Quatre yawned. Stay awake at least until school is over. Quatre felt the bus come to a stop and glanced out the window again. Not very many people around here go to the same school I do, I guess. Only those two guys get on this bus. There's that one boy, Heero, I think his name is. He usually keeps to himself. He always seems to be off somewhere in his mind, thinking about something. And then there's Trowa. Not too long after I started taking the bus to school, he started sitting next to me, and after a while we became friends.
Quatre watched as Trowa and Heero got on board. Heero sat off by himself, like he did every day, and Trowa walked towards the back of the bus to where Quatre was sitting. "Hi, Trowa." Quatre said cheerfully, despite how tired he felt. "Hey, Quatre. You don't look all that great... You stay up late or something?" Trowa asked him. "Yeah... I finally got to the last level on that game, and then the power went out. I just couldn't go to sleep without at least knowing what was on that level, and so I waited for about an hour for the ower to come back on, and then I played it through to the last level again. That's a whole 99 levels. The first 90 or so didn't take very long, 'cause I knew all the shorcuts and everything, but then those last nine took a while." Trowa laughed. "I wonder if you'll be able to stay awake through class today." Quatre smiled and said "Probably not. If I fall asleep, wake me up, okay?" Trowa agreed, and then the bus arrived at the last stop.
Wufei boarded the bus calmly, not paying much attention to what was going on aboard it. He walked to the very back of the bus and found an empty seat. He sat down and his mind went back to that math homework he had been given. Usually math was his strong suit, but this time he had encountered a few hard problems. I hope I got them all right... About 10 or 15 other kids boarded the bus, and just before the doors closed, that boy with the braid came running towards the bus yelling "Don't leave yet!" The doors were already in the process of closing by the time he got there, and he dove between them onto the floor. "Uh... Hi!" he said, looking up at the bus driver, who was looking at him with no particular interest. Then again, Duo had done stuff like that so many times before, it had become something everyone expected. The only time anyone stared in desbelief was when Duo was on time and walked up the stairs onto the bus like everyone else. "Uh... Hehehe... I think I dropped my homework when I did that... Oh well." Duo said, and walked towards the vacant seat next to Heero. "Um... Mind if I sit here, Heero?" He asked. Heero, looking like he was in deep thought, didn't reply, and Duo sat down next to him.
That Duo kid is weird... He never does his homework and always has some unbelievable excuse for it. And he always sits next to Heero, even though Heero usually ignores him. That blond boy over there always talks to that other kid. I think his name is Quatre... I don't remember the other ones name. And over there is that little group of five girls. They always sit together, except for that one... I think her name's Relena... She usually asks Heero if the seat next to him is taken, but he always tells her it is... I don't really understand that. Heero usually ignores Duo completely, and although he doesn't say all that much, he's willing to talk to just about anyone but Duo, but he never lets anyone but Duo sit next to him. It doesn't make any sense at all, at least not to me. From what I understand, Heero doesn't want anyone other than Duo to sit next to him, especially Relena, yet he never says a word to Duo. Very odd...
The bus arrived at the school, and all the kids got off. Quatre was walking towards his classroom when he suddenly couldn't manage to keep himself awake any longer and literally fell asleep. He fell forward, and would have had a very unpleasant awakening, if it wasn't for Trowa. Trowa caught Quatre before hit hit the ground and woke him up. "Huh? What happened?" Quatre asked, just barely awake. "You fell asleep while walking and almost got your nose ground into the asphalt." Quatre blushed and continued walking to the classroom followed closely by Trowa.
Duo arrived in the classroom and sat as his desk. As usual, he was the last one in. The teacher walked around the room collecting homework, and then got to Duo. "Duo, do you have your homework?" She asked. "Um... Well, you see, I know I shouldn't have, but I turned my homework into a paper airplane." "Well, at least you have it. You do have it, don't you, Duo?" "Well... I would... But, ya see, after I made my homework into a paper airplane, it got hijacked." The teacher sighed and then asked Duo why he couldn't just do his homework once in a while, but Duo wasn't paying any attention. "Duo!" She said a bit louder. "Huh?" "I asked you a question." "Oh, sorry, I was lost in thought. "Yes, well I understand its new territory for you, but you should pay attention." The teacher continued to collect homework. She got to Heeros desk and asked him for his homework. "I didn't do it." He said. That was very unusual, as Heero almost always had his homework done and done perfectly. "Why not, Heero?" Heero muttered something. "What?" "I said it was the least important thing that I needed to get done, and so I didn't have enough time after I had done everything else to do my homework."
The teacher looked at Heero sternly and said "Heero, what could you possibly have to do tha is more important than your homework?" Duo, having spent a large quantity of time with Heero, noticed that Heero was beginning to get angry. No one else seemed to notice though. "There are a lot of things more important than homework." "Really? If it's so important that you couldn't do your homework, tell me what it is." Duo could tell Heero was getting extremely pissed off. "Uh-oh." Duo said, and ducked under his desk. Heero reached into his back pack and pulled out a firearm. He aimed it right at the teacher and jumped out of his chair. Heero ran back towards the door and, before going into the hallway, said "You want to know so badly, why don't I just do it now and show you." Heero ran down the hall towards the cafeteria and charged through the double doors. There was only a lunch lady in the room at that time, and she hadn't seen Heero yet. Heero dove under a table where he wouldn't be spotted for a few moments, at least, and thought carefully. After a few seconds, he ran towards the janitors closet located by the other entrance to the cafeteria. He opened the door and jumped inside, just barely avoiding being seen. He flipped the lightswitch and found the button behind a pile of junk that opened up a secret trap door in the floor.
Heero climbed down the spiral staircase that led into the secret headquarters under the school. He went down about 100 feet before the staircase finally ended. He looked around and saw tables covered in test tubes filled with all kinds of liquids, small cages containing lab rats, and many other things that looked like nothing he had ever seen before. He walked around, examining everything, and then went to the next room. Inside the room there were huge cages filled with horrible, grotesque, mutated monstrosities. Heero walked over to one of the cages and examined the beast inside.
Its head was about the size of a bulls head, but it didn't have any horns or any evidence of horns ever having been there. Its body was roughly human shaped, but about four times as big as Heero. The creature had a tail much like a scorpions, only instead of one stinger, it had curved stingers jutting out everywhere on the lower fourth of it. The creature had four arms. Three of the arms were exactly te same size, and had three razor-sharp claws on them that looked to be about a foot long each. The fourth arm was smaller, about the size of the average humans, but the fingers were webbed with steel. The steel wasn't put there, it was somehow mutated onto the creature, making the steel a part of its body. at the tips of its fingers on that hand it had miniature versions of the stingers on its tail. The thing was covered in very shiny, refletive scales, making it hard to look at the creature in any kind of light. The creature had three eyes all lined up in a row on one side of its head, and three on the other. it had large, flaring nostrils that seemed as if they would be able to pick up scents for miles round. But its most disturbing feature was the mouth. It had two snake-like tongues that flicked in and out of its mouth constantly. Saliva dripped down from its teeth, which were quite horrible to see. The teeth were each about as thick as the average human finger, but the smallest of them were three feet long. Needless to say, the creatures mouth was enormous, being able to hold those teeth in it. The things jaw dropped down to its waist, teeth sharper than a thousand razors put together sticking out at all angles. "Wow... If that thing bit someone, they'd probably die instantly. If not, they'd beg to be killed."
Heero looked around at all the creatures in the cages, and each one was worse than the previous one. By the time Heero saw the last creature in that room, the first one seemed as harmless as a toothless, clawless kitten. Heero walked out of that room into the next room, shuddering at the thought of those beasts getting loose. Unfortunately for him, the next room was also very unpleasant. There were tanks filled with people. The people in the tanks were in some sort of acid. Acid that was eating away at their flesh. And worst of all, the people in the tanks were somehow being kept alive. They attempted to scream, but were unsuccessful in their attempt, choking on acid. Some of the people in that room had been in there long enough so that their skin had been rotted off in most places, and their internal organs were visible. Heero felt as if he were about to vomit, and ran through the room into the next one, avoiding looking at any of the people. Before he got to the next room, he accidentally made eye contact with one of them. It was a woman, and her skeleton, veins, muscles and organs were visible everywhere except for her head. Her head was still more or less intact, and her eyes met Heeros. Heero saw deep into her eyes, and saw the torment and pain beyond them. Heero closed his eyes and vomited. He ran into the next room, keeping his eyes closed the whole way. Once in the next room, Heero sat down by the door and remained there for several minutes, wondering what kind of psychopathic bastard had done this...
Back at the classroom Heero had run from... Duo waited until nobody was looking his way and ran out the door in an attempt to follow Heero. Well, the general direction he was headed in was this way. At least I think it was. I didn't have much time to see where he went before the door closed behind him. Duo ran towards the cafeteria. He opened one of the doors and snuck inside quietly. He glanced around, trying to see where Heero might have gone, and he spotted a light through the crack at the bottom of the door to the janitors closet. The light is always off in there unless the janitors in there getting his supplies, and the janitor doesn't come until tomorrow. Duo dashed for the janitors closet and scrambled quickly to get inside before anyone could see him. "Huh?!? There's a trap door here! This must be where Heero went!" Duo jumped down into the trap door and began to descend the stairs. Once he got to the bottom, he started walking through the room he was in, looking for Heero. I'd better not make any noise, just in case someone else is down here... He couldn't find Heero in that room, so he went into the next room. "Wow! Look at all these things! Sharp teeth, long claws, bad B.O.... They all remind me of my teacher. Hmmm... Well, there doesn't appear to be anywhere Heero could be hiding in here, but then again... Jumping into a cage containing a viscious, blood-thirsty, flesh-eating monster sounds like just the kind of thing Heero would do."
Duo started walking around, looking in all the cages, trying to see if he can see Heero in any of them. "Well, either he isn't in here, or he's decided to hide in one of these guys' stomaches..." Duo ran over to the door to the next room and opened it. "What the hell?! I think I'm gonna puke... What kind of demented wacko would do this?" Duo covered his eyes and ran towards the door to the next room. He opened up the door and ran inside, closing it behind him. "That... Was... Totally disgusting. I'm gonna kill whatever fucked up asshole did that!" Heero stood up and walked over to Duo. "So you saw it too, huh?" Duo stared at Heero. "You look like you weren't quite able to keep from spewing." Heero turned his gaze towards the ground. "I couldn't. Before I made it in here, I... I accidentally made direct eye contact with one of them. I saw nothing but pain in her eyes. The bastards behind this have found a way to make them live through all that, even though their bodies are being destroyed by the acid." Duo shivered in disgust. "Well... Let's just keep going. My guess is you want to destroy this place and whoever created it, and I want to help." Duo and Heero began walking towards the next room...
"QUATRE!" Trowa said in a loud whisper. "Huh? What? The answer is 42!" Quatre said, half asleep. "Quatre, you fell asleep again. You're going to get caught and you're going to get in trouble. Try to stay awake!" Trowa said, and then continued to listen to the lesson. "Okay, Trowa, I'll try to bake you a cake, but..." Quatre yawned. "I think I'll take a nap first." "No! I don't want you to bake me a cake, I want you to stay awake!" Trowa hissed at him. "Are you sure? I can bake pretty well. I like chocolate cake... It's my favorite." Quatres eyelids began drooping, and he fell asleep. He fell forward and hit his head on the desk, making a loud noise. The teacher turned around and looked at Quatre. "Quatre? Quatre? Quatre! Wake up!" Quatre raised his head and squinted at the teacher. "No, I don't have any make-up, you're going to have to go buy some." And then he fell asleep again. Trowa looked at Quatre hopelessly. "Trowa? Why does Quatre keep falling asleep?" The teacher asked him. "He stayed up late last night. So far he's fallen asleep 17 times. He fell asleep walking to the classroom and I just barely caught him before he hit the ground. That's not the only time he's been close to getting hurt because he's fallen asleep. He almost got the sharpened end of his pencil up his nose one time..." "Trowa, I didn't ask you what's happened every time he's fallen asleep." The teacher asked. "Sorry, Mr. Treize guy lady sir ma'am person."
"So just what is this place? Why is it under the school?" Duo asked. "It's some kind of laboratory. And as for being under the school, well, would you think of looking for a lab hidden under a school?" Duo thought about it for a minute. "Well, after this, I would. But I guess I wouldn't if I hadn't seen this place, so, no..." The two walked deeper into the lab, through several rooms filled with things far too gruesome and horrible to be imagined by anyone other than the sickest of people. "When I find out who is behind all this, that person is going to wish he was never born. I'm going to put whoever did all this in one of those tanks full of acid, and once his flesh has been dissolved, I'll feed him to one of those monsters back there in the second room. Or her. I don't know if the person that did this is male or female. But whoever it is, he or she is gonna pay bigtime." "SO, YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO KILL ME USING MY OWN MUTANTS AND ACID, DO YOU? HAHAHAHAHA!!! I DON'T THINK SO!" A voice said, coming from the shadows, echoing all throughout the room. A megaphone fell down from the rafters circling the top of the room. "Sorry, I just had to make sure you heard me. But then, this room has a nice echo, so I dont have to worry about that." Heero thought hard for a few moments. "You sound just like the principal!" "AHAHAHAHAHA!!! I AM the principal, Heero! Though I don't actually look like him. And my name is not the name he has. He is just a disguise I use. My true name is Judecca A. Gunner. And as for what I look like, you'll have to catch me to find that out!" From about 50 feet up, from the rafters just below the ceiling, a shadowy figure jumped down to the ground, his cape fluttering behind him. He hit the ground running, and went into the next room.
"Come on, let's get that son of a bitch! If I get to him first, there isn't going to be anything left of him for you to do anything to!" Heero yelled, running to the door to the next room with Duo right beside him. "Hey I wanna cause that psycho some major pain too, ya know!" Heero shoved open the door and they both scrambled into the room, jumping away from the door as fast as they could in case Judecca had a gun or something. As soon as they had cleared the area they had been standing when they opened the door, 8 bullets made 8 dents right where they had been seconds before. "Only 2 bullets left in each six-shooter... Good thing I've got lots more guns! Come on, lets see you try to catch me, you little runts! But I warn you, this all goes on your permanent record. So be careful!" The shadowy, cape-wearing figure jumped out from behind a bunch of shelves containing ammunition, guns, and knives and tossed a knife at Heero, spun around, and ran through the door to the next room. "That knife just barely missed me... And those bullets hit the exact spots we would have been if we hadn't jumped as soon as we got in here. And he was moving the whole time!!! That guy has good aim, a lot of guns, a lot of ammo, and knives, too. Well, luckily for us, he seems to have made a very large error. He left us in a room full of guns, so now we can arm ourselves." Duo looked around at all the guns. "Hey, you're right! We can take that bastard down!" Then they heard the dinging of a P.A. system, and they heard Judeccas voice say "attention all students located in the gun room, the monsters from the second room from the stairwell have been let loose and are headed your way. Oh, yes, and I've set the traps in the room so that if you touch so much as a bullet in there, you both die. Ciao!" Duo and Heero ran towards the door Judecca had run through and pushed it open. They ran into the next room and kept running for the room after that. "Damn it! A psycho with guns and a whole shitload of monsters. And we don't even know if there's a way out of here in this direction! We could be headed for a dead end!"
Duo could be right... Argh! Why did I have to come down here now? Why couldn't I have waited until my Gundam was completed? That was stupid of me... A careless mistake on my part. And now, because of it, not only am I going to die, but because of MY mistake, Duo is going to die as well... No. I won't let that happen! "Duo, I can promise you one thing right now, and that is that I am going to get us out of here alive. I don't know how yet, but I will!" The two were almost to the door to the next room when the door they had just come through shattered into pieces and the monsters came running after them. They shoved open the door in front of them and shut it firmly behind them. Heero saw a button labelled 'In case of monster breakout, press button,' and pushed it. A layer of some kind of shiny metal appeared over the door, and written on it were the words 'Titanium Shell.' Heero and Duo continued running through the room, just in case, and heard the P.A. system again. "Oh, boys, guess what? That titanium shell will only hold out for exactly five more minutes against all those monsters. We had it tested, so I know. Oh, yes, and here's a little good-bye present for you." A bullet came from out of nowhere and hit Duo in the stomache. "Duo!" Heero yelled as Duo screamed in pain. "Duo! Ah, crap!" Heero went about getting the bullet out of Duos stomache, stopping the bleeding, and bandaging the wound as best as he could while the monsters made increasingly large dents on the door behind them...
Hehehe.... Guess what? That's all for now. This is the shortest chapter I've ever written... And it's the first chapter in a new series. I guess I should have made it a bit longer, but I had my mind set on doing that. So you'll have to wait for my next chapter to find out whether they survive or not and what happens to the other gundam pilots and all that. I hope you liked it, cause it's the most serious I've ever been before when writing, and if my stories are only good when funny, it would hurt my feelings for 3.2 seconds. We had it tested, so I know. HA! Anyways, TTFN (Ta ta for now), folks!
