My Stoopid Fanfic
A silent figure quietly snuck through the halls of the supposedly deserted ship. From the figure's position, all that could be heard was the tip tap tappity of a keyboard. The figure mentally slapped himself for planning the mission while men were still on board but because of his perseverance, he needed to finish the mission for the good of his cause.
The young man at the computer looked up from his work. "Hnnn,"he grunted as he looked around to find the location of the slight sound he had heard.
The figure spied a guard by the entrance to the mobile suit hangar. The subject was a young adult male in his early 20s to late teens. He had light weaponry which included a mere pistol and some grenades on the side of his belt. The man didn't seem to notice the figure sneaking up behind him. He was basking in the warm light of what seemed to be a miniature television set. Suddenly the young man burst out laughing as he watched a funny part of whatever he was watching.
"Duo,"muttered Heero, the young man by the computer as he looked around
once more. He continued typing.
The hidden figure, deciding that this moron wasn't worth the time, looked around and found another door. He looked at the door and found a standard lock. Figuring this would be easy, he picked the lock and then walked in. Unfortunately, he was unaware of the camera in the corner of the room. The figure walked out another door and saw two men talking and playing some kind of board game.
"Isn't it your turn to check the cameras?"asked a young blonde man to his companion,"we still have many threats, if you remember correctly."
The other man moved his bishop towards his opponent's king and quietly said,"Checkmate, my game. Don't worry. Heero is a good enough security system. If anyone even tries to get in, he'll have them blown up in less than a minute."
"Heh,"snickered the figure as he looked at the two men who were unaware of his presence,"morons."
Heero looked up once more but he still didn't hear anything except for the annoying laughter of Duo and the discussions of Trowa and Quatre. The figure, seeing that all was clear, ran through an open door into the mobile suit hangar. Nothing was visible except for the outlines of six mobile suits.
"The gundams, "said the figure while basking in their might, "what powerful machines."
Another man in his bedroom upstairs heard something. He looked around but saw nothing. Thinking that all was well, the Chinese man went back to practicing his sword skills.
The intruder located his goal, the gundam known as Wing Zero. The intruder slowly climbed up the side of the gundam and located the cockpit. He found a lever and pulled it to open up the cockpit.
Heero, whose psychic connection with his gundam suddenly started kicking up, stood up. He knew that there was something wrong. He didn't know what, but he knew it involved his gundam. All the other pilots, noticing the absence of Heero's tapping on the keyboard, sensed something was wrong and headed towards the hangar.
The intruder was just about to climb into the cockpit when a bullet flew by his head and hit the machine. Surprised by the shot, the figure loosened his grip and fell to the ground. As he lay on the ground, he looked up to see the faces of five men. He was about to get up when the back of a gun suddenly flew towards his face and knocked him unconscious.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The intruder woke up to find himself in some kind of cell. It was pitch black so the man couldn't see a single thing.
In another part of the ship, five men were discussing the situation.
"He must be a part of the Sadukar,"said Quatre as he looked over the intruder through a camera.
"Impossible,"said Heero,"the Sadukar aren't known for these kinds of missions. They are vicious people who merely attack and destroy."
Wufei threw his sword in the air, caught it,"I say we just kill him and get it over with."
Trowa spoke up and said," No, he could be of some importance. I say we interrogate him first."
"If it's interrogation we want, we might as well send in the best," interrupted Duo," my babe, Hilde."
"Acceptable,"said Heero as he looked at the confused prisoner,"tomorrow morning, when we are well rested. Wufei, you are the guard for tonight. We all know how well Duo does his job."
"Heh,"laughed Duo as was thinking up an excuse. Resigning himself to his lack of a comeback, he responded,"Well, shut up Heero."
~The next morning~
"I'm going to keep introductions short. I'm Hilde, now, what is your name, bitch?" asked Hilde in a firm voice."Tell me before I have to kick your ass!"
The young man looked at Hilde and laughed,"Why should I listen to you, little Ms. Prissy?"
Hilde's face turned bright red with anger. She stepped closer to the prisoner and slapped him, leaving a red hand mark on his left cheek. She walked back to her original position and said,"Little Ms. Prissy...hah! You've got to use a better an insult than that, learn a few swears."
Duo let out a snort,"Now that is the Hilde that I know and love. Teach him who is the boss, babe."
"My name is Zxyu," said the prisoner,"and I do not appreciate being hit for a grade school insult. Though I must admit, you're quite the little fireball, and I mean that in the nicest way possible."
Hilde blushed a bit as she received the compliment. Realizing what she was doing, she put on her angry face and asked another question to the smiling young lad,"Why are you here?"
"My mission objective states not to release the mission data to anyone outside of the Hangun."
Hilde took out her gun and a bullet right past Zxyu's head. The bullet barely missed as it whizzed past Zxyu's ear and drove itself into the wall.
In the other room, the five guys were discussing their views. Heero was commending Hilde on her skills while Quatre was insisting that they should try talking it out peacefully before they kill him. Duo was just laughing and Wufei and Trowa were silent.
"But for a babe like you, I'd tell anything," finished Zxyu.
Hilde blushed again, but this time it was a bit more obvious. Hilde made a big decision and proceeded with her new course of action. She took off her coat, covered up the camera, and whispered into Zxyu's ear, "there is a vent under the dirt at the northwest corner of the room. Leave during Duo's watch, he'll probably be too busy watching TV to notice you leaving. After you get out, proceed to shuttle bay 2 where there is an escape shuttle that you can leave in."
Meanwhile, in the other room, Duo was going mad. "What the hell does she think she's doing,"shouted Duo at the top of his lungs. "Okay, I'm going down there and I'm going to find out once and for all."
"Heh,"smiled Zxyu,"I'd leave now but I'm too busy staring into your beautiful eyes."
Hilde smiled,"Now this is what I've been missing with Duo. Oh crap, there he is, quickly, go down the vent...NOW!!"
"And leave you?"asked Zxyu as he took off the top of the vent,"no way."
Duo rushed in and ran towards the supposedly harmless Zxyu. Before he could put his fists to good use, Zxyu smashed the top of the vent onto Duo's head. He spit on the unconscious Duo, gave one last look towards Hilde, and left the room.
The other four pilots reached the cell a few minutes after Zxyu had left. After receiving an elaborate and nonsensical lie from Hilde, they ran towards the shuttle bay.
"Where is that intruder?"asked a furious Wufei.
Heero examined the ground and frowned,"He escaped."
Duo, who just walked into the shuttle bay, looked around groggily. He examined the place where his best friend had rested and shouted,"THAT &)^$ %!#@ TOOK MY DEATHSCYTHE HELL!!!!"
Meanwhile, back in the cell, Hilde smiled. She looked at the picture of Duo in her pocket and thought,"Maybe he isn't then right one after all."
~Later that day~
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"screamed Sabin, a general for the Hangun army,"we asked for the ZERO system, not this hunk of junk!"
General Sabin paced around a bit before he looked down at Zxyu. Sabin looked at the rest of his troops and sat down in a nearby chair and burrowed his face into his hands.
"But sir, I couldn't take the ZERO system. I was captured by the ancient gundam pilots,"said Zxyu in fear," I was barely able to escape. I had to take the Deathscythe HELL!"
Zxyu then began to walk back in fear as the general stood up,"YOU ARE TO FOLLOW MISSION OBJECTIVES!!!DO YOU HEAR ME?!?!?!? " He took a few deep breathes, "But how did you escape?"
Zxyu tried not to let tears escape. His mentor was furious at him for something as measly as stealing the wrong mobile suit. His foolish notion of revenge got the better of him.
"TELL ME!!!!"screamed the general, getting fed up with waiting.
"Well sir,"gulped a scared Zxyu,"I do believe that a young girl on the ship let me escape."
"Well at least you have someone inside"
"I'm not even sure of that."
"But now I have a plan."
"What is it, sir?"
"You'll find out soon enough. Right now go to your quarters."
"But...but," Zxyu stuttered
"Don't worry, we're at no risk of Sadukar attack now, so go."
Zxyu, head held down in shame, walked to his quarters. When he was around the corner, he heard a all the other soldiers guffawing at his expense."Why,"asked the dejected man.
He found his way into his quarters. It was a Spartan room, a living place of few objects, but it was good enough for him. There was a bed, television, and a few personal memoirs of past loved ones.
"Why,"he asked to nobody in particular,"why me?
Zxyu held up a photo that he had by his bed. It was his mother and father at a party. There were many people in the background but the highlights of the picture were Zxyu's parents partying with Zechs and Noin. He lightly traced the outline of his mother's face with his finger and put it down.
"I need to see it again, to remember,"he cried as he put a disc into the machine,"I need to remember."
"Today,"said a newscaster from a previous showing from many years ago,"today we mourn the death of one of our best pilots, Zechs Merquise. He died during an attack on the planet of Omina, fighting it out until the end. We now join Christine McAuliffe on the field with more information."
"Thank you, Sarah," said Christine." I am on the scene of a building decimated by the enemy machines. Based on preliminary data, there was only one survivor discovered and she soon died on the scene. We have footage of her last words, she refused medical help so she could relay what happened."
The clip played, displaying a haggard woman on the screen. Zxyu wiped his eyes, when he saw his mother, Celes Araka.
"What happened? ,"asked a haggard woman on the screen,"we were attacked by the Sadukar. They came down in their new...Gemini suits...and asked....to see Zechs...Merquise."
She took a few labored breaths," They shot Lieutenant Noin in the leg and...Zechs shot them back...he went to fight them...Noin went too...she was shot back down onto the planet. They destroyed all of the defensive suits but spared Zechs...they dragged him away.
She took a few more breaths. "Noin was...killed...maybe. The Sadukar destroyed half of the planet...and seriously wounded all life...on the other half...if not kill them...give my...hope and love to my...son."
"She used her last remaining strands of life to deliver this information," stated Christine." The approximate 572 casualties were on a terra-forming mission to the planet of Omina, where the accident occurred."
"Thank you, Christine," said the newscaster. "Just this past week, the government has collected an anonymous piece of evidence also implicating the previous minor threat, the Sadukar."
The clip changed to show Zechs strapped to a table.
"I won't let you do anything to me," screamed Zechs, determined to live life until the end.
"This won't take long,"said Cid, a Sadukar scientist," you will be of much use to us."
Cid proceeded with his work. He took neurological scans of Zechs brain pattern and began a bit of work. He continued to separate his battle skills from all the other parts of the mind. With this done, he put Zechs in an airlock and emptied him into space.
"Ahhh, my pretty,"stated Cid,"you will help me make a whole new race of mobile suits."
"That is all we have," stated the newscaster, professionally showing no compassion.
Suddenly, static popped up and all that was left was a slight reflection of a young man broken down and crying in pain.
"But then they used Zechs' battle info to make superior Gemini gundams which were better than all the Gundam pilots except for one by the name of Heero Yuy. Despite the fact that he had modified the ZERO system to be the ultimate fighting machine, he was still constantly beaten,"said Sabin as he walked in."Sit up soldier, don't cry. We have your new mission objectives."
Zxyu looked up and cried out,"You were watching me?"
"Don't worry, I understand," comforted Sabin. "Now lets review your new objective, you are supposed to negotiate with the ancient Gundam pilots and get the ZERO system in return for the Deathscythe HELL."
"Okay sir, I'll be ready tomorrow morning," responded Zxyu.
"Good,"said Sabin,"I'll be waiting."
The next morning, Zxyu reported back to Sabin. He walked into the meeting room and saw that his childhood friend Kira was there as well.
"Kira, what are you doing here?" he asked, honestly perplexed.
"Well,"stated Sabin,"she is new to the Hangun and I thought she should go on her first mission with you. She has limited mobile suit skills but she is an ace at flying spacecrafts. She will learn from you. Remember, she may be your subordinate but if you do anything to her, you'll be speaking to me!"
Sabin left the room after laying down a paper with the mission data on it. As soon as he was out of sight, Zxyu began scanning Kira. He started with her face and moved to her slender nose, her bright blue eyes, her chestnut brown hair and then he went lower. Before he could get any lower, she punched him in the stomach.
"What was that for?" groaned Zxyu
Kira exclaimed,"Don't treat me like a woman. Remember, I can kick your ass."
"Yes ma'am,"said Zxyu jokingly. He took a few breaths to regain composure and continued. "But I believe we should be getting towards our mission. This paper says that we'll be taking the Aerosaur from shuttle bay 5. We should then proceed to these coordinates. Once there, we negotiate with the Gundam pilots for their data, okay."
"Understood ma'am!" said Kira with confidence
"What the hell, don't call me...,"started Zxyu before he was punched in the arm,"okay...ma'am is fine by me."
The duo set out to find the Aerosaur. When they arrived at shuttle bay 5, they were surprised to find it gone. After examination of the area, they discovered a key on the ground with a note attached. The note said, "Don't take the Aerosaur, take the Aerogon. It is an experimental ship I've been working on and an inner feeling is telling me that you'll need it. It is in shuttle bay 13. Don't tell my superiors about this, Zxyu. Kira, I just want you to be the first to test it. Okay. Love, Dad."
"Love ya,"whispered Kira into the air. "Okay, now we need to get going. C'mon."
While on their way to the next shuttle bay, Zxyu randomly asked,"Sabin is your dad?"
Kira rolled her eyes. She made a mental note to herself to hit Zxyu for being such an idiot. That was a bit too obvious, even for him.
When they finally reached shuttle bay 13, a wondrous ship came into their line of sight. It was of a sleek shape. It resembled the American stealth bombers of the old days except that it was nearly quintupled in size.
"Sweet,"gasped Zxyu
The pair got into the ship and started heading towards Peacemillion. When they finally arrived about 18 minutes later, they found the Peacemillion under attack. Numerous Gemini mobile suits were overpowering the five pilots. Heavyarms soon ran out of ammo after barely being able to hit one of the mobile suits. Altron and Sandrock were quickly overpowered while Wing ZERO was slowly losing against a group of two Geminis. One other suit was out in the battlefield but it was not being shot at because it was guarding the Peacemillion.
"I've got to help them,"yelled Zxyu to Kira as he ran to Deathscythe HELL,"I think I'll be able to fly this thing, I did it before."
Zxyu flew off the Aerogon and headed towards the battlefield. When he arrived, he found four of the five mobile suits immobilized. Meanwhile, someone in the Peacemillion was shooting at the Geminis. Zxyu noticed the Sagittarius mobile suit on top of the ship was out of ammo. He flew off to rescue the pilot, whoever it was.
The Sagittarius is a red mobile suit that had only melee weapons. It had a beam cannon, a beam gun, and a laser. Unfortunately, when hit in the right area, all three weapons become inactive. This mobile suit ended up being the very last one made out of titanium.
Zxyu flew in and knocked the Sagittarius off the Peacemillion right as a giant net flew by and caught the it along with the other gundams. The Geminis then focused their attention on Zxyu whose shots barely scathed the superior Gemini mobile suits. Zxyu suddenly remembered the fact that Kira was out there alone. Right at that moment, hundreds of shots flew by at a streak of black coming towards them.
"Watch out,"screamed Zxyu to the other mobile suit pilot as they were both about to be hit by a beam cannon blast.
Suddenly, both mobile suits were accelerating away from the battle. It took Zxyu a moment to realize it, but they were on the Aerogon. After a bit of tough maneuvering, Zxyu got both himself and the mobile suit into the ship.
A few minutes later, Zxyu discovered the pilot inside the Sagittarius. He found the unconscious girl inside the cockpit. Not wanting to wake her up, he gently picked her up and brought her to the nearest bed. Not surprisingly, the nearest bed was in his room.
"What are you going to do with her?" asked Kira who had just turned on autopilot.
"Well, I plan to let her rest and then we'll talk about it,"said Zxyu,"but right now we should get some rest too. It looks like we are a few light-years away from home base so we should have time."
"Then g'night,"said Kira,"Oh yeah, bad news, the communication systems were busted during the high speed travel. I'll fix it tomorrow morning."
After she had left, Zxyu turned towards the beautiful girl that lay on his bed. He slowly took off her suit and other unnecessary clothing and began tending to her wounds. He took his time as he examined her body. After getting his fill, he put the blankets over her and let her rest. He proceeded to strip himself of all his clothing except for his boxers. He was the kind of guy who wore only undies to bed. Surpisingly, his boxers had a history.
Zxyu was wearing Death's boxers. These boxers were created during After Colony 199, during Duo's modeling days. Duo modeled many types of clothing but the most popular were his X-Men boxers, for which he became famous. The ads consisted of Duo holding a scythe and acting like death in only his boxers. His X-Men boxers were soon outlawed though because of the fact that Duo personally tried every pair on.
These boxers were the only kind that men in the Hangun got because they were cheap. They bought them from Earth because they were tainted and gave them to the soldiers. Zxyu, unfortunately, had to wear them along with all the other male members of the organization.
Zxyu went to the couch near the foot of the bed and almost instantly fell asleep.
At around four in the morning, Hilde woke up. She examined her surroundings and saw a young man asleep on the couch. Her head was a bit dizzy but she still walked over to see who it was. Suddenly, she felt a bit cold so her half-asleep brain told her to sleep with the man for the body warmth. She climbed onto the couch with Zxyu and fell asleep on him.
~Early morning~
A huge clash arose from a far part of the galaxy. Zxyu flew there and examined the battle. He went into a nearby mobile suit and got ready to fight. He flew to a group of Gemini when suddenly a Sagittarius suit flew up and squished him onto a planet. Just then, Zxyu woke up.
"Ahh,"he gasped when he realized Hilde was sleeping on him.
Kira ran into the room and asked,"What's wrong. Oh...okay..I see....I'll leave you two alone." She promptly left the room. Well, at least to Zxyu's knowledge.
Zxyu slowly tired to sit up but his whole body seemed to be covered by the sleeping maiden. He then poked her a bit to wake her up. Unfortunately, she seemed to be a heavy sleeper. He finally gathered up the courage to just plainly push her off the couch. This time, he gave her an even harder push but just as she was about to fall, she wrapped her arms around Zxyu's body and pulled him off as well.
"Uh oh,"said Zxyu as he realized their position. Hilde seemed to have her arms around Zxyu while he was on top of her.
Hilde's eyes fluttered open. She looked at the shirtless Zxyu and then looked at their position. She started laughing.
"What's so funny," exclaimed Zxyu as he quickly stood up,"is it my hair?"
Hilde pointed downwards and managed to say,"Death's boxers?" through her giggling.
Outside the door, laughing could also be heard. Kira was looking in through a crack by the door. She fell back and started rolling around in laughter from the hilarious situation.
Zxyu, not knowing of Kira's insane laughter, quickly picked up a blanket and covered up his boxers. He slowly side stepped to a bathroom connected to the room through another door.
"Crap," Zxyu thought to himself," now that was embarrassing. But strangely nice."
About 30 minutes of laughter later, all three people were at the table enjoying a meal cooked by Kira. Well, maybe not enjoying, it could be described better as swallowing in hopes of not tasting the horrific excuse for food. Burnt toast and burnt bacon with soggy eggs is not a meal that most people would prefer.
"So," Zxyu asked Hilde,"what the hell happened?" Hilde looked down at her food and stirred it with her spork. She looked up."Well, I know that this was a horrible event. But it took me a while to figure out that it was my fault."
"And how was it your fault," Kira asked.
Hilde let a few tears escape and looked up at Zxyu,"I found out about your mission and I tried to help. I sorta tried to send a message to you...but...it was picked up by the Sadukar. They discovered our position and proceeded with their attack. My fault...all my fault."
"I told you your womanizing would come with dire consequences," Kira jested, trying to lighten up the situation.
"That's okay,"said Zxyu as he gave Hilde a comforting hug,"we'll get everybody back. The Hangun are ready to support you guys and do anything to get them back. We'll do anything to help you and destroy the Sadukar."
Zxyu then looked up at Kira with a death glare. He seemed to be telling her not to mess with him again.
Kira slowly got out of her chair and said,"Well, I better go and work on fixing the communication systems."
Before she could get to her seat, the ship suddenly started bouncing around. The trio went to the bridge to check out the problem. Kira frantically pressed buttons while the other two looked out of the window in awe.
"What are you guys looking at,"asked Kira as she looked up." Oh my god, what kind of galactic phenomenon is that?"
The three stared out at a magnificent, unexplainable phenomenon. It seemed as if a semi-sphere was stuck between a small black hole and a huge sun. The gravitational pull of both kept it hovering in between. The three were suddenly knocked unconscious by a strange effect of gravity.
A silent figure quietly snuck through the halls of the supposedly deserted ship. From the figure's position, all that could be heard was the tip tap tappity of a keyboard. The figure mentally slapped himself for planning the mission while men were still on board but because of his perseverance, he needed to finish the mission for the good of his cause.

He was basking in the warm light of what seemed to be a miniature television set. Suddenly the young man burst out laughing as he watched a funny part of whatever he was watching.
"Duo,"muttered Heero, the young man by the computer as he looked around
once more. He continued typing.
The hidden figure, deciding that this moron wasn't worth the time, looked around and found another door. He looked at the door and found a standard lock. Figuring this would be easy, he picked the lock and then walked in. Unfortunately, he was unaware of the camera in the corner of the room. The figure walked out another door and saw two men talking and playing some kind of board game.

"Heh,"snickered the figure as he looked at the two men who were unaware of his presence,"morons."
Heero looked up once more but he still didn't hear anything except for the annoying laughter of Duo and the discussions of Trowa and Quatre. The figure, seeing that all was clear, ran through an open door into the mobile suit hangar. Nothing was visible except for the outlines of six mobile suits.
"The gundams, "said the figure while basking in their might, "what powerful machines."
Another man in his bedroom upstairs heard something. He looked around but saw nothing. Thinking that all was well, the Chinese man went back to practicing his sword skills.
The intruder located his goal, the gundam known as Wing Zero. The intruder slowly climbed up the side of the gundam and located the cockpit. He found a lever and pulled it to open up the cockpit.

Meanwhile, in the other room, Duo was going mad. "What the hell does she think she's doing,"shouted Duo at the top of his lungs. "Okay, I'm going down there and I'm going to find out once and for all."
"Heh,"smiled Zxyu,"I'd leave now but I'm too busy staring into your beautiful eyes."
Hilde smiled,"Now this is what I've been missing with Duo. Oh crap, there he is, quickly, go down the vent...NOW!!"

~Later that day~
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"screamed Sabin, a general for the Hangun army,"we asked for the ZERO system, not this hunk of junk!"
General Sabin paced around a bit before he looked down at Zxyu. Sabin looked at the rest of his troops and sat down in a nearby chair and burrowed his face into his hands.

Zxyu, head held down in shame, walked to his quarters. When he was around the corner, he heard a all the other soldiers guffawing at his expense."Why,"asked the dejected man.
He found his way into his quarters. It was a Spartan room, a living place of few objects, but it was good enough for him. There was a bed, television, and a few personal memoirs of past loved ones.
"Why,"he asked to nobody in particular,"why me?
Zxyu held up a photo that he had by his bed. It was his mother and father at a party. There were many people in the background but the highlights of the picture were Zxyu's parents partying with Zechs and Noin. He lightly traced the outline of his mother's face with his finger and put it down.
"I need to see it again, to remember,"he cried as he put a disc into the machine,"I need to remember."
"Today,"said a newscaster from a previous showing from many years ago,"today we mourn the death of one of our best pilots, Zechs Merquise. He died during an attack on the planet of Omina, fighting it out until the end. We now join Christine McAuliffe on the field with more information."
"Thank you, Sarah," said Christine." I am on the scene of a building decimated by the enemy machines. Based on preliminary data, there was only one survivor discovered and she soon died on the scene. We have footage of her last words, she refused medical help so she could relay what happened."
The clip played, displaying a haggard woman on the screen. Zxyu wiped his eyes, when he saw his mother, Celes Araka.
"What happened? ,"asked a haggard woman on the screen,"we were attacked by the Sadukar. They came down in their new...Gemini suits...and asked....to see Zechs...Merquise."
She took a few labored breaths," They shot Lieutenant Noin in the leg and...Zechs shot them back...he went to fight them...Noin went too...she was shot back down onto the planet. They destroyed all of the defensive suits but spared Zechs...they dragged him away.
She took a few more breaths. "Noin was...killed...maybe. The Sadukar destroyed half of the planet...and seriously wounded all life...on the other half...if not kill them...give my...hope and love to my...son."
"She used her last remaining strands of life to deliver this information," stated Christine." The approximate 572 casualties were on a terra-forming mission to the planet of Omina, where the accident occurred."
"Thank you, Christine," said the newscaster. "Just this past week, the government has collected an anonymous piece of evidence also implicating the previous minor threat, the Sadukar."
The clip changed to show Zechs strapped to a table.
"I won't let you do anything to me," screamed Zechs, determined to live life until the end.
"This won't take long,"said Cid, a Sadukar scientist," you will be of much use to us."
Cid proceeded with his work. He took neurological scans of Zechs brain pattern and began a bit of work. He continued to separate his battle skills from all the other parts of the mind. With this done, he put Zechs in an airlock and emptied him into space.
"Ahhh, my pretty,"stated Cid,"you will help me make a whole new race of mobile suits."
"That is all we have," stated the newscaster, professionally showing no compassion.
Suddenly, static popped up and all that was left was a slight reflection of a young man broken down and crying in pain.
"But then they used Zechs' battle info to make superior Gemini gundams which were better than all the Gundam pilots except for one by the name of Heero Yuy. Despite the fact that he had modified the ZERO system to be the ultimate fighting machine, he was still constantly beaten,"said Sabin as he walked in."Sit up soldier, don't cry. We have your new mission objectives."
Zxyu looked up and cried out,"You were watching me?"
"Don't worry, I understand," comforted Sabin. "Now lets review your new objective, you are supposed to negotiate with the ancient Gundam pilots and get the ZERO system in return for the Deathscythe HELL."
"Okay sir, I'll be ready tomorrow morning," responded Zxyu.
"Good,"said Sabin,"I'll be waiting."
The next morning, Zxyu reported back to Sabin. He walked into the meeting room and saw that his childhood friend Kira was there as well.
"Kira, what are you doing here?" he asked, honestly perplexed.
"Well,"stated Sabin,"she is new to the Hangun and I thought she should go on her first mission with you. She has limited mobile suit skills but she is an ace at flying spacecrafts. She will learn from you. Remember, she may be your subordinate but if you do anything to her, you'll be speaking to me!"
Sabin left the room after laying down a paper with the mission data on it. As soon as he was out of sight, Zxyu began scanning Kira. He started with her face and moved to her slender nose, her bright blue eyes, her chestnut brown hair and then he went lower. Before he could get any lower, she punched him in the stomach.
"What was that for?" groaned Zxyu
Kira exclaimed,"Don't treat me like a woman. Remember, I can kick your ass."
"Yes ma'am,"said Zxyu jokingly. He took a few breaths to regain composure and continued. "But I believe we should be getting towards our mission. This paper says that we'll be taking the Aerosaur from shuttle bay 5. We should then proceed to these coordinates. Once there, we negotiate with the Gundam pilots for their data, okay."
"Understood ma'am!" said Kira with confidence
"What the hell, don't call me...,"started Zxyu before he was punched in the arm,"okay...ma'am is fine by me."
The duo set out to find the Aerosaur. When they arrived at shuttle bay 5, they were surprised to find it gone. After examination of the area, they discovered a key on the ground with a note attached. The note said, "Don't take the Aerosaur, take the Aerogon. It is an experimental ship I've been working on and an inner feeling is telling me that you'll need it. It is in shuttle bay 13. Don't tell my superiors about this, Zxyu. Kira, I just want you to be the first to test it. Okay. Love, Dad."
"Love ya,"whispered Kira into the air. "Okay, now we need to get going. C'mon."
While on their way to the next shuttle bay, Zxyu randomly asked,"Sabin is your dad?"
Kira rolled her eyes. She made a mental note to herself to hit Zxyu for being such an idiot. That was a bit too obvious, even for him.
When they finally reached shuttle bay 13, a wondrous ship came into their line of sight. It was of a sleek shape. It resembled the American stealth bombers of the old days except that it was nearly quintupled in size.
"Sweet,"gasped Zxyu
The pair got into the ship and started heading towards Peacemillion. When they finally arrived about 18 minutes later, they found the Peacemillion under attack. Numerous Gemini mobile suits were overpowering the five pilots. Heavyarms soon ran out of ammo after barely being able to hit one of the mobile suits. Altron and Sandrock were quickly overpowered while Wing ZERO was slowly losing against a group of two Geminis. One other suit was out in the battlefield but it was not being shot at because it was guarding the Peacemillion.
"I've got to help them,"yelled Zxyu to Kira as he ran to Deathscythe HELL,"I think I'll be able to fly this thing, I did it before."
Zxyu flew off the Aerogon and headed towards the battlefield. When he arrived, he found four of the five mobile suits immobilized. Meanwhile, someone in the Peacemillion was shooting at the Geminis. Zxyu noticed the Sagittarius mobile suit on top of the ship was out of ammo. He flew off to rescue the pilot, whoever it was.
The Sagittarius is a red mobile suit that had only melee weapons. It had a beam cannon, a beam gun, and a laser. Unfortunately, when hit in the right area, all three weapons become inactive. This mobile suit ended up being the very last one made out of titanium.
Zxyu flew in and knocked the Sagittarius off the Peacemillion right as a giant net flew by and caught the it along with the other gundams. The Geminis then focused their attention on Zxyu whose shots barely scathed the superior Gemini mobile suits. Zxyu suddenly remembered the fact that Kira was out there alone. Right at that moment, hundreds of shots flew by at a streak of black coming towards them.
"Watch out,"screamed Zxyu to the other mobile suit pilot as they were both about to be hit by a beam cannon blast.
Suddenly, both mobile suits were accelerating away from the battle. It took Zxyu a moment to realize it, but they were on the Aerogon. After a bit of tough maneuvering, Zxyu got both himself and the mobile suit into the ship.
A few minutes later, Zxyu discovered the pilot inside the Sagittarius. He found the unconscious girl inside the cockpit. Not wanting to wake her up, he gently picked her up and brought her to the nearest bed. Not surprisingly, the nearest bed was in his room.
"What are you going to do with her?" asked Kira who had just turned on autopilot.
"Well, I plan to let her rest and then we'll talk about it,"said Zxyu,"but right now we should get some rest too. It looks like we are a few light-years away from home base so we should have time."
"Then g'night,"said Kira,"Oh yeah, bad news, the communication systems were busted during the high speed travel. I'll fix it tomorrow morning."
After she had left, Zxyu turned towards the beautiful girl that lay on his bed. He slowly took off her suit and other unnecessary clothing and began tending to her wounds. He took his time as he examined her body. After getting his fill, he put the blankets over her and let her rest. He proceeded to strip himself of all his clothing except for his boxers. He was the kind of guy who wore only undies to bed. Surpisingly, his boxers had a history.
Zxyu was wearing Death's boxers. These boxers were created during After Colony 199, during Duo's modeling days. Duo modeled many types of clothing but the most popular were his X-Men boxers, for which he became famous. The ads consisted of Duo holding a scythe and acting like death in only his boxers. His X-Men boxers were soon outlawed though because of the fact that Duo personally tried every pair on.
These boxers were the only kind that men in the Hangun got because they were cheap. They bought them from Earth because they were tainted and gave them to the soldiers. Zxyu, unfortunately, had to wear them along with all the other male members of the organization.
Zxyu went to the couch near the foot of the bed and almost instantly fell asleep.
At around four in the morning, Hilde woke up. She examined her surroundings and saw a young man asleep on the couch. Her head was a bit dizzy but she still walked over to see who it was. Suddenly, she felt a bit cold so her half-asleep brain told her to sleep with the man for the body warmth. She climbed onto the couch with Zxyu and fell asleep on him.
~Early morning~
A huge clash arose from a far part of the galaxy. Zxyu flew there and examined the battle. He went into a nearby mobile suit and got ready to fight. He flew to a group of Gemini when suddenly a Sagittarius suit flew up and squished him onto a planet. Just then, Zxyu woke up.
"Ahh,"he gasped when he realized Hilde was sleeping on him.
Kira ran into the room and asked,"What's wrong. Oh...okay..I see....I'll leave you two alone." She promptly left the room. Well, at least to Zxyu's knowledge.
Zxyu slowly tired to sit up but his whole body seemed to be covered by the sleeping maiden. He then poked her a bit to wake her up. Unfortunately, she seemed to be a heavy sleeper. He finally gathered up the courage to just plainly push her off the couch. This time, he gave her an even harder push but just as she was about to fall, she wrapped her arms around Zxyu's body and pulled him off as well.
"Uh oh,"said Zxyu as he realized their position. Hilde seemed to have her arms around Zxyu while he was on top of her.
Hilde's eyes fluttered open. She looked at the shirtless Zxyu and then looked at their position. She started laughing.
"What's so funny," exclaimed Zxyu as he quickly stood up,"is it my hair?"
Hilde pointed downwards and managed to say,"Death's boxers?" through her giggling.
Outside the door, laughing could also be heard. Kira was looking in through a crack by the door. She fell back and started rolling around in laughter from the hilarious situation.
Zxyu, not knowing of Kira's insane laughter, quickly picked up a blanket and covered up his boxers. He slowly side stepped to a bathroom connected to the room through another door.
"Crap," Zxyu thought to himself," now that was embarrassing. But strangely nice."
About 30 minutes of laughter later, all three people were at the table enjoying a meal cooked by Kira. Well, maybe not enjoying, it could be described better as swallowing in hopes of not tasting the horrific excuse for food. Burnt toast and burnt bacon with soggy eggs is not a meal that most people would prefer.
"So," Zxyu asked Hilde,"what the hell happened?" Hilde looked down at her food and stirred it with her spork. She looked up."Well, I know that this was a horrible event. But it took me a while to figure out that it was my fault."
"And how was it your fault," Kira asked.
Hilde let a few tears escape and looked up at Zxyu,"I found out about your mission and I tried to help. I sorta tried to send a message to you...but...it was picked up by the Sadukar. They discovered our position and proceeded with their attack. My fault...all my fault."
"I told you your womanizing would come with dire consequences," Kira jested, trying to lighten up the situation.
"That's okay,"said Zxyu as he gave Hilde a comforting hug,"we'll get everybody back. The Hangun are ready to support you guys and do anything to get them back. We'll do anything to help you and destroy the Sadukar."
Zxyu then looked up at Kira with a death glare. He seemed to be telling her not to mess with him again.
Kira slowly got out of her chair and said,"Well, I better go and work on fixing the communication systems."
Before she could get to her seat, the ship suddenly started bouncing around. The trio went to the bridge to check out the problem. Kira frantically pressed buttons while the other two looked out of the window in awe.
"What are you guys looking at,"asked Kira as she looked up." Oh my god, what kind of galactic phenomenon is that?"
The three stared out at a magnificent, unexplainable phenomenon. It seemed as if a semi-sphere was stuck between a small black hole and a huge sun. The gravitational pull of both kept it hovering in between. The three were suddenly knocked unconscious by a strange effect of gravity.
