I don't Own Gundam Wing, BUT I do own Koori. So no take! (But why would you want to?? ^_^;)
A Soul of Ice
"I gotta get out of here...It's too dangerous. I really screwed up this mission...What will grandpa say..." The
figure jumped up from its hiding place and ran away. Before it could get to the door, an OZ soldier jumped in its way."Got you now! There's no escape!"
"Shit! What do I do..." No
matter how scared the person was feeling inside, it kept a cool composure outside. The OZ Soldier mover closer."Will you come calmly, or do I have to force you?"
"Yes, come closer. That's what I want..." The
person found a dagger that was hidden in it's sleeve. "Just a little closer...." It threw the dagger and hit the soldier in the chest. "That'll teach you to mess w/ Mizuno Koori." The person said, and ran off to find her Gundam."But Dr.J. Why do we have to rescue her? She's a girl!" Wufei said.
"Because she's a Gundam Pilot Wufei!" Quatre told Wufei.
"AND because she's my god-daughter!" Dr.J yelled into the phone.
"Yea, Quatre's right. We can't just leave her. I mean, even if she IS a girl, she's still a Gundam pilot!" Duo said standing up. He looked over to the other side of the table and saw Heero typing on his laptop. "Hey Heero. Don't you care?? She's one of us! We can't let her die!"
"She got herself into this...She can get herself out. You should know by now not to barge into one of the OZ bases. How stupid can you be?" Heero said emotionlessly, as usual.
"Heero!! How can you leave your childhood friend like that?! Oh the..." Dr.J said, then got cut off by Heero.
"Friends?!" Heero said, getting up from the table fast, knocking over his cup of coffee. "She wasn't my friend. I can count on my hand the number of times I've seen her, much less talked to her. I don't think she even noticed me..." He said the last part dejectedly.
"Heero...Tell us about her. About your...ummm...Friendship?" Quatre said coming over to Heero. He saw some kind of sadness in his eyes.
"I don't know that much. Ask Dr.J"
"He hung up." Trowa said coming over to sit next to Wufei on the couch. "He told us where to find her. Also, if she's hurt he's blaming us. So just be careful w/ her."
"Hey Heero! Tell us how you know her!" Duo said, while leaning against the wall.
Heero looked at all the other boys faces. "Fine. Since she's the goddaughter of Dr.J it's only natural that I would run into her at least once. She would come buy once a year to see her godfather, or Grandpa as she called him. I was told to stay away from her. Koori, her name, always wanted to be a Gundam pilot. When I left for my first mission, I told Dr.J not to make her like me...To leave her the carefree girl I knew. I take it he didn't listen."
"Soooo...was she like your girlfriend??" Duo asked.
"Shut up Maxwell! You can save her if you want, but I'm staying here." After that said, he sat back down and started typing again.
Koori sat in her cell.
"What did I get myself into now. How could I let that happen?"
*Koori was running down the hall to where her Gundam was being held. When she got there, OZ soldiers were all around her gundam.
"Figures. I should've planned for this."
She hid behind a crate, thinking for a way to get her Gundam. She didn't notice the soldier who came up behind her. Then everything went black. Later, she awoke to find herself in a jail cell.*
"I need to get out of here!" She got up and walked over to the entrance to the cell. A guard was standing there w/ food. He looked her up and down. Koori shrank back into the shadows so he wouldn't be able to see her.
"You're cute. A little small, and flat, but cute."
"You better watch what you're saying!"
"Here's some food. It was all I could find."
"Uhh...Thanks." She got up and walked over to the guard and took the food. Her eyes went up to meet his. They were a beautiful shade of violet. "You have nice eyes." she said. "What's your name?"
"Duo Maxwell. I'm here to help you."
"What? But you work for OZ."
"Not really. I'm a Gundam pilot."
"Really? You came to help me? But I thought all Gundam pilot's had to fend for themselves? That's what my grandfather told me anyway."
"We decided to help. Just wait here until Quatre comes w/ the key." He turned to leave.
"No! Don't leave me...please..." she blushed. Duo looked at her again. She had fire red hair that fell past her shoulders, and gray eyes that held a certain kind of happiness.
"If you don't want me too..." He sat down on the floor w/ his back against the bars. Koori noticed his braid.
"You have long hair for a boy." She said while sitting down w/ her back against his. "How did you get in anyway?"
"Trowa and Wufei distracted them and Quatre and I went inside. We found the uniforms and put them on. Quatre went to go find the key while I went to find you."
"I guess Trowa and Wufei are the other Gundam pilots. You know, I can't forgive you for calling me flat." Duo blushed.
"Duo! I have the Key! Did you find the girl?" Duo and Koori turned their heads to the voice. It was Quatre.
"Quatre!" Duo said, standing up.
"Hi." He turned to Koori, "Hello. My name is Quatre Raber…"
"No time to introduce ourselves! We need to get out of here!" Duo said interrupting.
"Yea. Your right." He unlocked the cell door.
"Thanks. I owe you guys one." Koori said.
"Do you know where your Gundam is?" Quatre asked.
"Yea. Unless they moved it."
"Maybe one of us could go w/ her? So she doesn't get caught again?" Duo suggested.
"No! You don't have to do that…"
"You sure? I'll go w/ you if…"
"I'll be fine! Go on!"
"Ok. If your sure. Come on Quatre."
"Good luck!" Quatre called over his shoulder.
"Thanks! You too!" "I'll need it…"
"Almost there. I hope no one catches me…"
Koori thought to herself as she ran to the room her Gundam was in. There were some soldiers, but nothing she couldn't handle. She shot them w/ the gun that Duo gave her. She made her way over to the Ice Crystal, her Gundam. It was white and light blue. She hopped in and started it up."Hey! Stop!" Koori turned to the voice.
"He…looks familiar…"
She turned back to her Gundam. "I don't have time to talk." She took out her gun and shot the man, but it only hit his shoulder. "Damn. He's not dead." The man took out his own gun and shot at her, the bullet brushing against her left arm, but enough to draw blood. Koori, who wasn't daunted from the wound, climbed back in her Gundam and took off."This is Gundam #20. I'm alright." Koori said into the intercom thingie.
"Koori?" Duo's face appeared at the lower right corner of her screen.
"You don't look alright." Another face appeared at the lower left corner. He had green eyes, and funny hair. "I'm Trowa. We should hurry back before you get an infection." Then his face disappeared. In it's place was a boy w/ black hair.
"If she weren't so weak, she wouldn't have gotten hurt!" Then his face disappeared.
"That was Wufei." Quatre said, his face appearing where Trowa's and Wufei's were. "He doesn't like women that much."
"I can tell. What does being weak have to do w/ me getting hurt?"
"Don't mind him. I'll be your friend!" Duo said cheerfully.
"Thanks. Where are we going now?" Koori said smiling. She would like being a Gundam pilot. Duo and Quatre were nice, Trowa seemed nice, Wufei was well…different, and…
"Hey! Isn't there another pilot?" she asked.
"Yea. He didn't want to come though." Duo replied.
"Why?"
"I dunno. He said he knew you."
"What's his name?"
"Heero Yuy."
"Heero…"
*"I think you dropped this!" a little girl said while running after a little boy. "Hey! Slow down will ya!" She caught up w/ the boy. "Finally! I thought I would never catch up to you! Here, this looks important."
"Thanks…"
"That's ok! Hey, how about you show me around? I never have been to this part of my grandfather's lab before! Although he said I should never go here, but that's ok! I'm eight! Almost nine! I dunno why I shouldn't be able to go here…" While she was talking, the little boy had a scared look on his face. "Are you ok? Do I have something on my face…?"
"Your Grandpa?"
"Yea, why?"
"I-I have to go."
"Wait!" The boy had already ran off.*
"Koori! Hello?" Duo yelled and woke her from her daze.
"Sorry…" she said shaking her head.
"Let's go. Your Grandpa is waiting." Quatre said, and his face disappeared from Koori's screen.
"See you back at HQ." Duo said, and his face too disappeared from her screen.
"Wait! How do I get there?" she yelled to no one, and followed after Deathscythe.
