Hello! Smiles here! So I've decided to write a Gundam Wing, Sailor Moon fic. (And hopefully ya'll like it!)
To begin with, lemme tell ya that Rei and Amy are twins, and Serena (Bunny) and Rini are sisters. When I update next, I'll get into further detail about that! Yes I realized that I wrote a lot, but no my updates most likely wont be as grand as this first post. (Sorry)
But with out Further ado, my fic!
The strawberry blonde haired teen frowned at the television.
"Hey sis, how the heck is it that I have bubble gum pink hair in this?" A petite platinum blonde haired young woman peered from around the corner. Looking slightly confused, the young woman walked into the room, and looked at the picture of two people arguing before laughing.
"Are you serious?! I thought they got rid of this show ages ago!" A pout crossed the younger girls' face when her sister didn't answer her question.
"Well, our myth professor is making us watch a couple of the shows to, 'explore how truth lies in myth'." The older girl laughed again.
"Now that's a new one!"
"Bunny!" The young girl playfully tossed a pillow at the older girl. Still giggling, the older sister moved out of the way.
"Yea, yea!" A thoughtful look crossed her face. "Well, you do have strawberry blonde hair, which I suppose could like kinda pinkish."
"Riiiight."
"Well ya do, Rini."
Before the younger sister could reply, the door to their apartment was pushed open, and three smiling young woman walked in.
"Hey Bunny, Rini! What'cha up to?" The sister's faces lit up as their close friends made themselves at home.
"Nothing much, Lita!" Rini grinned and jumped up to give the tall brunette a hug.
"She's just watching those old SM cartoons!" Rini rolled her eyes at her sister, while Lita's eyes widened.
"They still play those?!" Bunny looked towards the honey blonde, blue eyed actress and laughed.
"Go ahead and look, Mina." Bunny motioned to the television, and the two girls gathered around it.
"Holy crap! This is ancient!" Lita, thoroughly amused by the show, couldn't help but laugh as Sailor Moon fell, causing Bunny to pout. Mina giggled as the cartoon version of herself flashed a 'v' towards some monster.
"I cannot believe, that the one time I did that some person had to be watching! I never lived that one down." At that Lita, Rini, and Bunny sniggered.
"Did what?" Their third friend walked into the room after using the restroom, and peered over their shoulders. "Oh my god. They still have those shows?!"
"Awww! Look, it's Amy!" cooed Lita. An annoyed look crossed the dark haired girls face as she watched the blue haired cartoon spin around and create bubbles.
"Oh yea, 'cause I'd create bubbles!" Bunny laughed.
"Well, at least they got the hair color right." Rini snorted with laughter, while Amy crossed her arms.
"Hey! That was a phase! I just thought that it'd be really cool to have blue hair. And besides, I looked good in blue. I just don't get how they thought I was shy!"
"Gee, that might be because you wouldn't talk with any other people!" Mina tossed a smile towards the pouting woman.
"That was only because I just couldn't stand them, would just not engage into a conversation, and would rather read a book."
"All except for Bunny!" Chirped Mina.
"Yea, well Bunny is a bit persistent, and wasn't afraid of blue haired punks."
"Ya got that right!" Bunny playfully stuck her tongue out at the now black haired, blue eyed woman. Rolling her eyes Amy moved to sit on the couch.
"Seems like a logical way for people to think you were shy, rather than rebellious," muttered Rini. Amy tossed a pillow at her head in retaliation.
"Says the bright pink haired girl carrying around a heart!"
"Hey! That was supposed to be a cut out for a Valentine's day presentation!" Rini glowered at the older woman, who just laughed.
"Heh, but you have to admit, it was pretty crafty to use that thing as a distraction!" Said Lita. "Too bad it just stuck as your weapon."
The girls, sans Rini, laughed aloud at this. The spent the next twenty minutes engrossed in the cartoon, occasionally making random jibes at each other's character. At the end of the show, the girls were all grinning and reminiscing.
"God! I cannot believe that we did half that crap and didn't die!" Exclaimed Lita as she stood and stretched. "I'm gunna make a sandwich, anyone else want one?"
"You know I do, Lita!" Called out Bunny.
"No thanks."
"Yes please!" Called Rini and Amy after her.
"It's so weird to think that all of that happened, like, two and a half centuries ago." Bunny made a noise of agreement.
"It just makes me sad to think how much we lost." A murmur of agreement ran through the group. "But at the same time, we allowed humanity to live!" Bunny sent a grin to the others, who returned it whole heartedly.
"Speaking of our past, how is Rei doing Amy? Thanks Lita. I haven't heard from her in a while." Rini smiled up to Lita as she gave her a sandwich, before looking back over to the grinning dark haired girl.
"She's great! I talked with her the other day, and she told me that she was going to L1 for a concert. She's really loving life, and I hear that she's going to be accompanying Mina in a month or so."
The group turned to the sheepish looking Mina. "Sorry, forgot to mention that! Rei and I are doing a production together. I'm singing some song, and she's performing on the violin."
"O-la-la! You know that Rini and I will be wanting tickets, right?" Bunny nudged her friend while grinning.
"Me too!" Lita exclaimed. Mina grinned at her friends.
"I'm figuring your getting a ticket from your twin, Amy," The dark haired girl nodded. "OK, well it won't be two hard to get you guys tickets!" The girls all beamed in happiness.
"So! Now that we've got that all settled, let's start discussing what we came here about," Amy leaned forward as she spoke, clasping her hands together. "The growing threat of biological creatures that have been genetically advanced has been neglected by the government today."
"Uh… English Amy?" Amy glanced towards the thoroughly confused Bunny.
"Means Earth's in trouble, 'cause of some weird ass creatures." Bunny threw a sour look at her little sister.
"Language Rini. OK… so what do we need to do?" Bunny asked as she glanced through their group.
"We're gunna need to fight again." Replied Lita.
Loud, raucous metal music blared throughout the hanger. A young man stood on a suspended walk, glaring down at his comrade who was bobbing his head to the beat. Nearly growling with annoyance, he walked over to the control panel for sound, and flicked a switch. Instantly the sound was killed.
"Aw man! It was getting to the good part!" Giving a half felt frustrated sigh, the good natured young man wiped his hands off on a stained rag before throwing it to the side. "So what gives, Heero?"
"We've got a message."
The long haired youth grinned. "What kind of message?"
"One that calls for attention immediately." His grin faded as he sobered.
"Should I give a call to the others?" The man gave a confirming nodded, before he turned and began to head up the stairs. "Damn. Hasn't even been a whole five years and already we need to get back to work. Oh well, someone's gotta save the world."
The long haired youth took the steps two at a time, and swiftly moved down a corridor towards an office room. Seating himself behind a large desk, he pulled out a key pad and punched in a few numbers. A dial tone picked up before a static cackle confirmed his data entered. A grin crossed his face as a familiar platinum blonde haired youth appeared on screen.
"Quatre! How's it going buddy?"
"Hello to you too, Duo. I'm going well, and yourself?" Quatre gave Duo a warm smile.
"Good, good."
"Any particular reason you called?"
"Yea, about that. It seems that we're going to need a reunion." A frown appeared on the blonde's face.
"What kind of reunion?"
"Oh, you know. The usual." Duo flashed Quatre a false smile. The youth gave a sharp nod of understanding.
"Well, I'll be seeing Trowa this afternoon, so I'll pass that along to him."
"Sounds great!"
"I'll see you in a few hours, Duo."
"Later." Sighing, Duo clicked the vidphone off, before relaxing back into the chair. After pondering for a minute, Duo sat up and punched in another number.
"What?"
"Gee, isn't that a nice way to greet your friend!" Duo gave the man on a sarcastic grin. "Hows it goin' Wufei?"
"Well, what's going on?"
"Eh, you know. Up to no good." The long haired youth watched as the Chinese man's eyes narrowed slightly.
"No good?" Duo gave a cheerful nod.
"Alright then, what can I do?"
"Well, if you want to be a good friend, you'd come down to help me!" Duo received a snort for a reply. "I'm in town, you should swing by."
"I'll be there."
Duo gave a grin before hanging up. "Well that went well. Now… let's see who was trying to listen into my conversation. Oi! Heero!"
"What." Duo grinned at the unruly haired youth, as he removed himself from the seat.
"I need ya to figure out who was attempting to listen in on my conversations. I heard a second click when I called." Heero nodded, and took Duo's previous seat.
Duo watched as the screen blackened before several series of codes rushed onto the screen. Furrowing his brow, he attempted to follow the sequences, however, he quickly gave up as Heero began deleting and retyping codes.
"This should do it." Came Heero's low voice. A low humming sounded as their printer began an output. When it finished, Heero grabbed the sheet and frowned.
"Well? Who is it?" Heero, passed Duo the sheet, and turned back the computer. Duo's laughter filled the room. "Damn! Well, whoever it is, sure as hell has a sense of humor!"
"I cannot find the person." Duo shrugged his shoulders.
"I didn't say much anyway. I was pretty vague, so they shouldn't be able to figure out what I was talking about to begin with." Duo looked down at the sheet of paper and grinned. "I think I'm gunna save this. Not every day that some hacker sends you the bird typed."
Heero made no comment, but continued to work. Shaking his head, Duo left the room. He made his way back to the hanger, where he flicked his music back on and took up where he left off on repairs.
A sigh escaped the young woman's lips. Leaning back in her chair, she stretched her arms over her head. Bringing her hands back down, she let a hand run through her honey blonde hair. A knock sounded on her door.
"Come in!"
An elderly lady smiled and bowed slightly. "Miss Peacecraft, a Mr. Darien Chiba is here to see you."
A bright smile grew over the young woman's face. "Please! Let him in!" The older woman gave another smile before leaving. The young woman, still smiling, quickly stood, straightened out her skirt and ran a hand through her hair. The thought of applying her lip gloss again was quickly tossed out as a strikingly handsome man walked into the room.
"Hello Relena." A bright smile crossed his features.
"Darien! What a pleasant surprise. What brings you hear today?" Relena moved from around her desk to offer her hand to the dark haired man. Grasping her hand, the man lightly kissed her knuckles and bowed. A pretty blush fell over the fair-haired woman.
"Actually, I came to see if you'd like to accompany me to lunch. That is as long as you're not busy."
"Oh, not at all!" Smiling, Relena paged her secretary to notify them that she would be going out. After grabbing her coat, she turned to the man. "And just where are we headed?"
"It's a surprise." A mischievous smile graced his lips, causing Relena to giggle. "But I think you'll love it."
"I'm sure I will! Lead the way then, Darien."
The two chatted amicably on their way out, not noticing the knowing smile on the elderly lady's face.
"Damn it!"
"What's wrong?" A sandy blonde haired woman glanced over the shoulder of her dark haired friend to attempt to see the problem.
"I can't get to the files! Got any ideas as to how to get to them Sally?" The woman ran hand through her short hair and gave an annoyed sigh.
The longer haired woman furrowed her brow before clicking a few keys and then hitting enter. A frown fell over her face as "ERROR" blinked across the screen.
"Who are the files coming from?"
"Wufei. He collected some data on one of his field work trips. Supposedly there was a rumor about a rebellion."
"Oh lord. Why do people want a rebellion? We've had peace ever since AC 197, and that was two years ago."
"I don't know. But Wufei did some search, and apparently the information wasn't good. Hey, try hitting that code in again, would you?"
"Sure, Noin." The woman typed in the code again, and was surprised to see a computer file pop up on the monitor. "Well that was weird."
Noin made a sound of agreement, but frowned. "Something's not right. The file shouldn't of done that."
A sudden whirring sound came from the computer, and a sign flashed up onto the screen.
"Have a BLAST?" A series of clicks sounded, and Noin's eyes widened. "Sally, run!"
Noin leapt from her seat, and grabbed Sally's hand. Just as they got to the door a static filled the room before a final click sounded, followed by an explosion. The two woman's screams filled the bases area.
Bunny bolted into an upright position, breathing hard. Closing her eyes, she prayed that her dream was not real, but had a sick feeling that it was. A tentative knock sounded at her door, and Bunny flicked on her lamp light.
"Come in Rini." The pale face of her younger sister peered in. Bunny gave a sad smile to her. Rini flung the door open, and ran to the bed. Bunny held her arms open, as her sister collapsed into her crying.
"It's not right!" Bunny gave a sad sigh, and gently rocked her sister's small form.
"I know Rini, I know. But humanity is not fair, and peace is only short lived." Bunny allowed two tears to fall from her pale blue eyes as she recalled her dream. She closed her eyes and recalled the horrifying scene; people were screaming in fear and pain as they were forced to flee their homes. It was starting again, the fight for power and dominance.
The two stayed curled closely together, trying to block out the pain and misery of those who were suffering, into the morning. Both knew that their actions were in vain; it was their duty to feel those around them.
Bunny sighed softly a she ran her fingers through her sister's pale red blonde locks. She wished that her sister did not have to feel or see what she did. Her eyes fell on her sister's face, and she allowed a smile to play on her lips. Glancing at her window, she saw that the sun had begun to rise. Sighing again, Bunny gently removed herself from her sister. She pulled the white comforter over the smaller girls' form before leaving the room. Picking up her phone, Bunny quickly typed in a number and waited for Mina to pick up.
"Bunny! You're up early!" A rueful smile crossed the small blonde's face.
"G'Morning Mina. It seems that things have gotten worse." Silence filled the phone before Mina's sad voice filtered through.
"You had a dream again."
"Rini did as well. People are being driven from their homes again, and they're in pain."
"Oh, Serena," Bunny gave a sad smile. How ironic that her name meant 'peace' and she had none. "Why do you have to see this."
"Because it's my job. I just didn't want Rini to see it too." Bunny ran a hand through her sleep tossed hair before hanging her head slightly. "We're gunna need to move faster. Can you see if Amy can make some more of those pills? I don't want Rini to dream."
"Yea, I'll do that." Mina's voice sounded chocked.
"We'll be ok Mina. I need to go, I need to get Rini ready to go to school. I'll talk to you later Mina."
"Alright. But Serena, please be careful."
"I will." Smiling softly, Bunny hung the phone up and placed it back into its cradle. Glancing out the window, she allowed herself to enjoy the beauty. Shaking her head, she turned back to her room to wake her little sister and get them both ready for the day.
Quatre sighed, and glanced out the window. He had just arrived on Earth from L3, and was stuck in rush hour traffic.
"What's the matter?" The youth gave a smile to his partner.
"Nothing ,Trowa. Just wishing that traffic would speed up." The taller man nodded his head and turned back to the window. Quatre turned to look out the window again. A warm hand rested over his, and Quatre smiled to himself. Quatre rolled his wrist slightly, allowing their palms to touch before he lightly laced his fingers through Trowa's.
It had been two years that they had been exclusively seeing each other, and yet Quatre was still surprised at how well his lover could read him.
"It will be fine, Quatre."
"I hope so." Trowa glanced at the smaller man before lightly squeezing his hand. The blonde gave another sigh as the light switched to green. The car engine purred into motion, passing the busy streets of the Sanq Kingdom. Twenty minutes later, the pair arrived at the entrance to a military base.
"Quatre, Trowa! Hows it goin?!" A grinning Duo walked towards the two. Quatre's face broke into a friendly smile.
"Duo! It's good to see you again!"
"Likewise!" Duo gave Quatre a hug, and then turned to Trowa and offered his hand.
"Duo." Trowa gave a small smile and a nod of his head before grasping Duo's hand and giving it a firm shake.
"Heero's inside, and there's lunch on the table. Wufei should be here with in the hour."
"Sounds good!" Quatre beemed, and looked up to his partner. "Shall we, Trowa?"
Trowa glanced down and nodded.
"Alright! Let's get goin." Duo flung an arm around the blonde and began to lead them towards one of the hangers.
Trowa's eyes glanced around the simple room. The walls were relatively bare, sans for a few random papers with highlighting. There was a couch, coffee table, and two lazy boy chairs around a TV, and a small kitchenette. Simple, just how he liked it.
"Trowa," The tall man looked towards Heero and stuck his hand out. Heero nodded in greeting and grasped his hand before letting go.
"How have you been, Heero?" Quatre stepped to the two and smiled to the more stoic man.
"Well, and yourself?"
"Just fine. How is work?" Heero gave an indifferent shrug, to which Quatre chuckled. "So, we're just waiting on Wufei now."
"Yup!" Duo approached the group with a couple of sandwiches, and offered them around. "I just a call from him, he should be here in about fifteen minutes."
"Good." Trowa took two sandwich's, and offered one to Quatre before taking a bite from his. Duo grinned in amusement before biting into his. They spent their time talking about random things while they waited for Wufei.
A swift knock on the door had the room occupants stop mid story. Duo stood and opened the door, letting in a disgruntled and slightly pale Wufei.
"Noin and Sally were in an explosion." Quatre's eyes widened.
"Are they ok?!"
"Nothing has been confirmed. Yuy, a file I was attempting to send to them failed." Heero nodded, and headed towards a computer.
"Any idea who it could have been?" Trowa asked in a cool voice.
"There was no trace of explosives."
"So then the computer was programmed to destruct." Duo's eyes narrowed slightly. "Wufei, the file you sent, was there anything classified in it?"
"Yes, why?"
"I had a hacker tap into the phone. Do you have a copy of the disk you tried to sent?" Wufie tossed him a disc case.
"So someone is on to us?" Duo gave an affirmative nod to Quatre.
"What do you need us to do?" Trowa placed a hand on his partners' slightly trembling shoulder. Duo pulled out three plain disks.
"These have a message from a research group calling themselves B.E.H. Heero and I got these yesterday at 17:00 hours. Learn it." Duo tossed them their discs. "After you do that, come find Heero and I maybe we can find some sort of clue about our hacker."
The men nodded and headed off to their respective places. Frowning slightly, Duo made his way to Heero.
"Any luck yet?"
"None. The code sequence is different from the one that tapped into our phone line."
"Shit. So we might have two people on us?" Heero nodded.
Giving a sight growl, Duo plunked himself into another chair and turned on a laptop. "Have you gotten any info as to who or what B.E.H. is?"
"Yes. B.E.H. stands for Biologically Enhanced Humans."
"Enhanced humans?" Duo gave a puzzled look to Heero.
"Yes. From what I've found it's a group of underground scientist who have been genetically altering human DNA."
"Damn…any reason?"
"None that I can find."
"Well shit! What the hell are all the mad scientists up to this time! I swear, can't they make a law preventing stuff like this?" Mumbling to himself, Duo re-opened his message from B.E.H. and re-read its containments.
Sender: B.E.H.
Receiver: Ex-Gundam Pilots
Message:
I apologize for having to send this message during a time of peace, however an urgent matter has arisen and must be addressed; humanity is not safe. For the sake of the lives of earth, help us!
"Right…and how are we supposed to help if they haven't even told us what's going on? Better yet, why didn't they just contact the Preventers!? Not like we're the only ones working for peace!" Duo shook his head in annoyance and then put the disc Wufei gave him into the laptop. His eyes widened at the information. "Heero… what would you say if I told you that someone is creating new Gundams?"
Heero's head snapped towards Duo. "What?!"
"The files Wufei gave me, I just hacked them open. Someone is creating new Gundams." Heero pushed himself from his computer and moved towards Duo's laptop. His eyes scanned the information and narrowed.
"Something is wrong."
"Well no duh! Someone is re-creating Gundams!"
"No, not that. That message from B.E.H. called us the 'ex-gundam pilots' and these are plans for new ones."
"Oh yea, that." Duo chuckled. "So, the plans might be from B.E.H. as well?"
"Possibly. We need to talk with Wufei."
Amy growled in frustration at her computer. Her fingers ran over the key board, punching in series and codes.
"This had better work…" She pressed 'enter' and hoped for the best. A second passed and then a smiley face popped up. Amy grinned triumphantly. "Aha! I win!"
"You win what?"
"Hey Rei! I've been trying to get passed the firewalls of B.E.H.'s system, and finally did it."
"Well that works." Rei peered over her twins shoulder and frowned slightly. "How the heck do you read that! It's nothing but random slashes and letters."
"That's what you think."
"That's what I know."
"Hey, have you heard from Bunny?" Rei gave a sad sigh, causing a concerned look to cross Amys face.
"She and Rini are starting to have dreams again."
"Oh god. Are they ok?" Rei shook her head.
"Bunny wanted me to ask if you if you could make those sleeping pills, Amy."
"Damn." Sighing, Amy ran a hand through her short hair and looked at the computer screen while she thought. "I'll get that done ASAP. Can you pull up the herbs for it?"
"Yea, I'll do that." Rei turned to leave her sister be. She tossed her long hair over her shoulder and made her way into their green house. It still amazed her how good her sister Amy was with technology. However, at the same time, it was not a surprise. Amy's brain had been given extensive training in the mathematical area. She could easily compute mathematical problems, quickly solve problems, and was a superb technologist. Amy was the epitome of a math genius. Yet, just brilliance was a little daunting.
A small smile crossed her lips as the bitter sweet scent of her plants reached her nose. She let her fingers trail lightly over the plants until she stopped at the ones she needed leaves from. Rei closed she looked at the greens.
"Please help them." Cupping the leaves in her palm, she allowed her body temperature to rise. She watched, sadly, as the moisture from the leaves began to dissipate. Her abilities scared her.
While most humans get a 'gut feeling' of when something was wrong with their body, Rei could pinpoint the issue and address it. If her body was sick, she could alter the chemicals in her body to produce the needed antibodies, or if she was cold, she could regulate her hypothalamus. She could slow her blood flow, and heartbeat to where it seemed like she was dead.
Her body's ability to regulate her chemicals and temperature meant that she could create her own fire. The toxins that become flammable when heated were present in the human body, and all she had to do was alter her temperature and body chemicals to make her own fire. Rei was, as Amy liked to joke, walking energy potential.
Sighing to herself, Rei gathered her now dried out plants and left her green house. Glancing out the window, Rei smiled slightly. Even though she was dangerous, she could be helpful… much like an actual fire.
Mina brushed her bangs from her face impatiently. She really didn't like waiting.
"Where is she?" Frowning slightly, Mina cast her gaze out into the crowd of people. She ignored the looks of appreciation that people sent her. She was used to it. Her blue eyes glanced around almost frantically until she spotted a familiar brunette.
"About time Lita!" The tall woman gave the blonde a smile.
"Sorry chica! I had to take a long route." Lita grinned good naturedly and slipped into the car. "Care to take your pheromone level down?"
Mina made a sour face at Lita's attempt at humoring her. "Ha, ha. Very funny. You know I can't change that."
Lita gave a sad smile to her. She understood alright. Mina's pheromone level had been altered to make her wanted by all. Her biological make up was that of the perfect Madonna; the woman that all men would die for and kill for. It was a terrifying power to have. Sighing, Lita thought of her biological difference.
She had high pain tolerance, to the point of not being able to feel pain, and with that, strength. She was to be a soldier who would literally fight until her body collapsed. Litas' makeup was more testosterone induced, making her an almost opposite of Mina. Glancing over towards the blonde, she smiled. That was probably why she was so attracted to the blonde, and why, in turn, Mina was so attracted to herself. She had enough testosterone to make her masculinity attracted and attractive to Mina, but enough estrogen to keep her from becoming overly wanting.
"What?" Mina glanced at Lita with a concerned look. "Is something wrong?"
"No, I'm just admiring you." Lita chuckled as blush crept over Mina's cheeks. She daintily pushed a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear.
"You're gunna start to sound like those men, Lita."
"No. I know better than that. Besides, it's the time of the month were I'm furthest from my period."
Mina laughed. "Meaning that you're manlier for the next week!"
Lita grinned. "Basically."
"Do you think we would still be together if we weren't so different?" Lita frowned slightly at Mina's question. Sighing slightly, Lita rested her hand on Mina's.
"I don't know. All I do know, is that I have you and you have me." Mina looked from her driving and smiled at the taller woman.
"Sometimes, I don't know what I'd do without you." Lita just grinned.
Darien smiled over his glass. It was rather amusing how easily he could make the girl blush. Taking a sip of the cool water, he allowed himself a moment to study the area they were in.
He had taken Relena to a quaint outdoor restraint in a park. They were currently seated in the shade of a large oak tree in full bloom, with an excellent view of main lake. His eyes fell onto two laughing young women, and he paused. They were exclaiming excitedly about something, and occasionally grabbing onto one another for support as they doubled over in laughter.
"Is something wrong, Darien?" Relena's soft voice pulled him from his musings, and he flashed her a smile.
"Not at all. I was just watching those two." He motioned towards the woman he had watching. A smile broke over Relena's lips.
"It is good to see that people are taken advantage of this day." She observed them for a little more. "Do they remind you of anyone? Or were you just people watching?"
"Actually, I used to know two sisters who were very much like them. They lost their parents and family in the war."
A heartbroken look fell over the blonde's face. "Did they survive?"
"Yes… but they changed, and I fell out of sorts with them." Relena nodded in understanding. She had seen the war's toll on people. Some were able to rough it out and still keep onto their humanity, while others lost their minds to fear and paranoia. Her gaze fell back onto the two laughing woman who had taken a seat at a bench.
"I wish that the war hadn't occurred." Darien glanced at her.
"Many people did, and still do, wish that the war hadn't taken place. However, because of it a stronger government has been born." He offered her a brilliant smile, to which she ducked her head.
"I cannot take credit. Those Gundam pilots deserve the most applause." Relena looked out over the park, not catching Darien's dark look.
"Yes… they did do a lot of work didn't they?" Relena, not catching his bitter tone nodded. "Shall we get going?"
A startled look fell over the woman face, before she nodded in agreement. "Yes. Thank you very much. This was a superb meal."
"My pleasure." Darien paid for their bill and offered his arm to Relena. Smiling, she accepted and they began to leisurely stroll through the park.
"Good afternoon, this is Relena Dorlian's office. How may I help you?" The elderly secretary gave a cheerful smile as she picked up the phone. "Hello?"
A small frown graced the woman's lips. "Hello? Oh! Hello, sir. How may I help you? I'm sorry but she's out for lunch. May I take a name?"
Pulling out a pen and sticky note, the woman began to scribble down the date and time. "I'm sorry, can you repeat that? …B.E.H. Cooperation, Ok. And will she know who this is? Yes? Ok. I will let her know that the B.E.H. Cooperation called to inform her about the new designs, and that the code is sm11gp! Have a good day, sir!"
Humming softly, the older woman placed the sticky note on top of a pile of papers and placed them into a small folder. As she finished, the phone rang again.
"My, we are busy today!"Chuckling, she picked up the phone. "Good afternoon, Relena Dorlian's office. How might I help you? No, I'm sorry but she won't be back for another forty-five minutes or so… would you like to leave a message?"
She pulled her sticky pad out again, and then frowned. "I'm sorry but I cannot disclose that information. I'm sorry ma'am. Have a good day."
Still frowning, she hung up the phone. "Why was she so adamant about knowing if B.E.H. contacted Miss Relena?" Sighing, the woman shrugged and then began to shift through some papers. Glancing down at the security monitors she noticed that the picture fuzzed before returning to normal. Before she could further examine the security monitors, the ding of the elevator made her look up. She offered a friendly smile to the man.
"Hello sir, how may I help y-" The woman's body jerked before she slumped over. A red stain began to quickly grow were the silent bullet came out of her back.
Ignoring the dead woman, the man let his gaze wander towards Relena's box. He grabbed the sticky note with a latex encased hand. Pocketing it, he turned and left the same way he came. As he exited the busy building, he pulled out a cell phone.
"Done." A soft chuckle came from the receiver, notifying the killer that his boss was pleased.
"Good work. Report back to headquarters tomorrow." A click ended the conversation. And the man pocketed his phone.
Trowa sat calmly looking out the driver seat, arms folded. Next to him, Quatre sat who had a pair of head phones over his ears.
"Trowa, he should be leaving now." Trowa nodded and let his eyes search the crowd for Wufei. Spotting the man, Trowa turned the car on, and waited until Wufei slipped into back seat before driving off from.
"Any luck?" Wufie met Trowa's gaze in the rearview mirror and shook his head.
"Nothing. The woman was killed from a point blank range, nothing was disturbed to indicate foul play, and everything was neat and orderly. No figure prints on anything. Whoever the assassin was, they had the wrong time. Relena was out at lunch with a Darien Chiba."
A frown crossed Quatre's face. "Do we know that he wanted to assassinate Relena? Or is that the best guess?"
"Best guess." Wufei turned his head and looked out the window. "Any luck on sound records yet?"
"Nothing, but there is a static before the last two incoming calls." Frowning Wufei pulled himself up to look over the blonde's shoulder. His eyes gazed at the sound wave frequencies and he frowned.
"Those two sets… they've been tampered with. We need either Maxwell or Yuy to look at that." Quatre nodded in agreement. "Something isn't right. When we get back, I'm going to tell Maxwell to double check that scene."
"Do you think that something was taken?" Wufei looked to Trowa.
"I'm not sure. But he at least can get into the phone lines there. Do we know where Yuy is yet?"
"Duo called us while you were inside. Heero's shadowing Relena." Wufei nodded his head in acceptance.
"Did he find anything out Trowa?"
"No. However, he's wants Quatre to do a background check on Darien Chiba."
"What is Maxwell doing?"
"He's still trying to gather information on the B.E.H. group." Quatre said. He slipped of the head phones and ran a hand through his hair. "I still cannot believe that someone is attempting to break the peace."
"Someone always needs action." Replied Trowa.
"Damn it!" A petite young woman slammed her hand on the wall before resting her head in her hands. A tear fell down her face as she felt the old woman's life slip away.
"Damn it…" Taking a deep breath she attempted to calm herself. Things were not going well, and she knew they were bound to get worse. Sitting up, she ran hand through her hair and then glanced at the door. She didn't have much longer until they found her.
"Think, Noah… what can you do?!" She bit her lip as she thought. A sudden grin broke onto her face and she ran to the desk that was situated in the middle of the room. She quickly sought out a pen and paper and began to write a hurried note. Finishing it up, she moved towards a fax machine and closed her eyes attempting to remember the number. Her fingers punched in the numbers and she slipped the paper into the machine.
"Please work! Please!" She sent a worried glance at the door and then beamed as the paper began to slide through. "Yes!"
Just as the paper fell the floor, the door slammed open. Noah gave a triumphant grin to the large man who was currently glaring at her.
"You a little late, doc!" The man crossed the room and three quick strides and backhanded the girl. Still grinning, the girl fell to the floor.
"Take her to the lab." The girls face suddenly went pale.
"Yes, my dear. You get to go to the lab." The man gave a harsh chuckle while two soldiers quickly placed metal cuffs around the girl.
"You bastard! Let me go damn it!"
"Is that any way to talk to your creator?" The girl merely spat at his feet and glared. A frown crossed the man's face.
"That wasn't very nice Noah. For that you'll need to be punished." The man nodded his head to one of the two holding the girl. The soldier pulled out a small tazzer and pressed it to the girls' side. Her screams echoed off the walls, but no one paid attention.
Duo resisted the urge to punch the officer. He hated it when people were jerks. He hated it even more when people were sarcastic jerks.
"What is going on?" Relena's distraught form came from room to his left, and Duo gave her a sympathetic smile. "Hello Duo."
"Hey Relena. How are doing?" He watched as she gave a non-committed shrug. Duo snorted when the officer who had been harassing him snapped to attention.
"At ease," Relena waved a hand at the soldier who bowed, and cast an uncertain glance at Duo. "He's fine."
The soldier nodded, and Duo smirked. "Well that worked."
"I take it you need to do a search?" Duo's concerned gaze fell on the woman who sat tiredly.
"Yea… Wufei wanted to me to see if I could get a clue from the phone lines."
"Go ahead." He nodded and made his way to the late secretary's desk. Glancing over the blood stained desk and chair his eyes fell on the phone. Making quick work of connecting the phone's data to his laptop he began to upload the incoming and outgoing history. A frown fell over him as he caught sight of an abnormal code.
"Did you find anything?" Heero's voice had Duo look up.
"Yea. She had two incoming calls earlier this afternoon… the last one was from an undisclosed location, while the one just before it was from a cell phone."
"Track it."
"Can't. The user destroyed the tracking device." A frown crossed Heero's lips.
"Can you find the last location it was used?"
"Nope. All data was erased."
"Damn."
"That's what I say buddy."
"Can you figure out anything on the undisclosed location?"
"Working on it."
"Uh, sirs, this just came in." A soldier held a piece of paper for the two. Heero nodded his head in thanks and glanced over it. His brows furrowed.
"Anything helpful?"
"Depends on your definition of 'helpful'." Heero passed Duo the paper.
