Chapter 1

Two Sides To Every Story

'Listen! If someone has a rifle at your head you don't try and run!! That's just stupid!! In the same amount of time you could be dead!! Do you understand!!?'

The terrified guard nodded his head, and she let him go, dropping to the floor, pointing the laser rifle into the dark end of the corridor. She pushed her reddish brown hair back away from her face, and seized the guard by his arm, before he crawled away. Hoisting him up to her face, the man flinched slightly.

'Where is he??!!'

'Who!? ........where is who??'

'WHERE IS THE GUNDAM PILOT!!! WHERE IS DUO MAXWELL!!??'

'I don't know!! I didn't even know there was a Gundam here!!' He trembled, covering his face.

Kiano threw the man back onto the floor.

'Well you're a slow learner!!!' She said pointing the rifle at his head. All of a sudden, an alarm went off in the station and a red glow lit the hallways.

Kiano glanced down at the ground where a device was lying which sets the emergency system off.

'YOU did that!!' She cried, the gun still pointing at him, and immediately started for the door closest to her.

Legions of guards rushed down from the end of the corridor, and followed her into the room. Kiano was trapped. She stopped at the steel wall in front of her, and searched the room for a means of escape.

The troop of guards where already surrounding her. One of them grabbed her arm as she tried to raise the gun.

'NO!! I WANT TO FIND DUO!! WHERE IS HE??!!' She screamed, kicking and struggling to loosen their grip.

A man walked into the room, but Kiano couldn't see his face as he spoke.

'You've got some nerve breaking in here, looking for that Gundam.........He is going to be executed in a weeks time. There is no use in finding him......'

Kiano stopped trying to escape, and stared at the man.

'Nooooo!.....' She cried, continuing to struggle more.

There was a silence. The man laughed at her.

'........throw her in with the boy...........she seems to know him well, and may be her last chance to see him'

Kiano stilled struggled as they dragged her away. The man growled at her and she lunged at him.

'Hmmm, make sure that this one cannot find a way to escape.......drug her......it will keep her quiet'

'Will she be executed too sir?' A random guard asked, and a short silence followed.

'No.........she's no threat......and she's not a Gundam........There would be no point......'

They pulled her down the end, as she screamed and cursed away.

Meanwhile in the damp, dark cell deep below on the third floor basement, Duo Maxwell is staring at the wall. He swiftly gets up off the ground and growls out loud.

'DAMN YOU!! YOU'RE ALL JUST THE ROLE MODELS AREN'T YOU!!!??' He screeched, flicking his waist length brown plaited hair off his shoulder and clutching his arm, which was hanging limply on the right hand side of his body. Growling again, he lets go and punches the wall in fury.

'Some great day this is!!' He tells himself, just as the door behind him opens.

Squinting to look out, he sees four guards carrying a body. The man carrying the girl steps in and places her on the floor, turning and leaving them both behind with a slam of the door.

Duo walked over to the body to see whom it was. He knelt down, rolled her over and gasped.

'KIANO!! DAMN IT!! NO!! WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU!!'

She slightly opened her eyes, and looked up at him, his spiky fringe hanging down in her face.

'Drugs.....' She said slightly, Duo just frowned and looked up.

'But, why are you even here??'

'.......I tried to save you........'

He shook his head, and pulled her head up to sit in his lap with his one useful arm.

'I told you not to come after me if something happened.....didn't I??'

She smiled at him and nodded. Raising one of her hands, she placed it on the side of his face.

'I just wanted to see you for one last time....before you were executed...'

Duo raised his head again, an angry look on his face.

'These assholes are going to pay!'

The smile was wiped from Kiano's face.

'...Duo I think you're the one who's going to pay....'

He shook his head hard, and Kiano slowly began to sit up.

'What did you surrender for?' She asked, and Duo looked away,

'I wasn't thinking'

Kiano shook her head,

'It was a bad idea. Now there are more people coming to the colonies…'

Duo looked over to her, a shocked look on his face, '…the leader said he'd already started planning to destroy the Earth'

Duo hit himself in the head,

'Damn it! I forgot ok!'

Kiano smiled slightly, and Duo shook off the anger,

'Are you ok?' He asked, Kiano nodded and noticed his hurt arm.

'Duo, your arm!'

He looked down at it.

'I know. I tried to escape, and they twisted my arm. *crack*! It fu**in hurt'

Kiano slid over next to him and inspected it.

'What kind of a problem do they have with Gundam's anyhow?' Duo started, Kiano leaned in and gave him a hug.

'You know.....I love you...'

Duo pulled away.

'What? No, you can't. I'm not going to be here for you'

They were silent for a moment and Kiano sighed.

'You know you're only going to be alive for seven more days.... that sucks.....'

Duo smiled,

'You really are allot like me'

She smiled back at him and leaned against the wall behind her. There was around ten minutes silence.

'This really does suck.....DAMN !! WHERE'S THE IN-FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT!!?' He yelled towards the door and Kiano smiled slightly, 'There's only one thing that I can think of right now, that we can do.....'

Kiano looked at him sadly.

'What's that? Tic-tac-toe? I spy? Hangman? Battleships? Dig a hole out of here?'

'........We wish!' He smirked and kissed her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Awwwwwww...........Brad! What'd you go and do that for??!!' Bit Cloud cried over the noise of the Zoid battle.

'Because you got in my way you imbecile!!'

'Hey! Just because the Toros' have gone on holiday doesn't mean you two can still blow each other up!' Jamie Hemeros cried inside the Toros Base in the middle of no-where.

In the middle of one of rooms, at a giant screen playing video games, two Zoid Warriors sat competing with each other on the simulation on the screen.

Bit, the cocky blonde haired, green-eyed boy leaned out of the pod to Jamie and gave him an odd look.

'And who did they put in charge of the base!?'

'Me...' Brad said carefully from the other side, and Bit turned around.

'WHAT!!!!!? WHY YOU!!! SINCE WHEN DO YOU CONTRIBUTE TO BATTLES AS MUCH AS ME!!??'

'You better watch your temperament Bit of you might regret it one day' Brad replied, poking a long piece of brown hair on his shoulders.

'YOU WANNA REPEAT THAT BUDDY??' He said getting up, running around the two pods and holding his fists out in front of Brad. He just looked up at him, and took a hold of his wrist. Bit squealed with pain.

'GEEZUS!! You have a killer grip!' He said rubbing his now red wrist,

'I barely touched you' Brad replied coolly,

Jamie put his hand through his spiked brown hair and leant back in the seat in shame.

'I challenge you to another battle!!'

'How much do you wager this time?'

'Fifty thousand, all or nothing!'

Brad went silent and got out.

'Nope, no point in that. You're too shoddy Bit'

'You're just afraid you'll lose to me!!!'

'Dreaming....... ..meanwhile I'm going for a walk. Jamie, look after the base'

Jamie got up and nodded. Bit growled and yelled after him.

'I wonder if those stories about Gundam Pilots are really true?' Brad whispered in the cold air of the desert night.

He shifted, sitting on top of the red rock in the middle of the plain, staring up at the sky.

As he looked closer, he saw a very bright star.

'The Zoid battle commission' He said silently smiling and lying down, still gazing at the sky.

The wind played with his fringe as sands blew across the murky desert behind him.

'Huh.........'

Brad got up and turned around. Staring into the darkness, he jumped off the rock and started towards a sound he heard. Finding it difficult to see, he squinted around only to see nothing.

'Wait.....don't go........' A girl's voice cried, and he glanced around slowly.

'Where are you?' He asked,

'Over here' The voice replied, over in the corner of his eye, as a young girl the same age as him stepped out from behind a rock pillar limping and clutching her arm. Brad ran over and inspected her.

'Are you ok? Did this happen in a Zoid incident?'

She shook her head, and lifted her other arm to point towards the sky.

'We've got to get you inside' He said, collecting her up in his arms and running back towards the base.

'Jamie.....how's she doing??' Brad asked, looking down at the girl asleep in the bed.

'Fine, but she had a lot of broken bones'

'Who is she?' Bit asked from behind them, Brad shrugged.

'But she hinted towards the sky when I asked what happened'

Bit smiled and got up,

'Maybe she's an alien'

Brad frowned.

'I didn't find any ID on her' Jamie told them, and Brad sat down on the bed.

She began to gradually open her eyes. She looked around at the room, and then at Brad.

'Who are you?'

'My name's Brad Hunter, that's Jamie Hemeros and this fool is Bit Cloud' He said motioning to them, 'What's your name?'

The girl was silent for a few minutes before she spoke.

'My name?? It's.....Kiano.........Kiano Maxwell......... I think......'
