AN: Hiya! I know I know I was being really evil by leaving you with a cliffhanger! Gomen! ^_~. Anyway, If you read this please email me! Or I won't write more! Wouldn't that be awful! I'm going stop my pointless chatter now! Just read my story! ALL FLAMES ACCEPTED!
Italics equal dream sequences!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Are you lost?"
"I've been lost since the day I was born."
"Oh, that's so sad. Well, I'm not lost at all I'm taking Mary for a walk."
"Hmm"
"Here take this flower."
"Huh?"
The dog began to run the other way. "Mary wait!" The little girl disappeared into the park.
~Later that night on the same colony~
Heero pushed the self-detonation switch and blew up the resident Alliance Military base.
"Mission Complete."
BOOM!
An exploding Leo caused another Leo to fall onto the nearby buildings. Heero watched in horror as the city went up in flames.
The light from the fire illuminated his face. All he could do was watch as thousands of innocent people lost their lives, including that little girl and her dog.
Heero woke with a start. He was breathing heavily and sweating. He shook his head trying to shake out the painful memory of that day on L3.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
BEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPP! BEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPP! Duo sat up and yawned. Man that was a long night! I'll have to annoy Heero into telling me what happened on L3 to make the "Leader" go mental. Duo went to turn off his alarm.
"WHAT! 4 AM! WHO SET MY ALARM THIS EARLY! Whoever did it's gonna have a date with the God of Death! But first, Food…need food."
As Duo stumbled off to the kitchen, an evil plan began forming in his head. 'As soon as I see Heero I'm gonna annoy him and keep at it until he cracks!'
He walked into the kitchen and found Heero already sitting there with a cup of coffee in his hand and a look on his face that said: Don't talk to me if you value your life.
Of course Duo didn't listen to the look on his face and said, "Good morning Heero! Any coffee left huh? Is there?" All he got in response was a Death Glare and a gun pointed at his head.
"Eh heh heh." Duo muttered as he thought all former plans forgotten, 'I think he might really shoot me! I've never seen Heero in such a bad mood! I bet it's about what that assassin said, It really hit him hard.'
"I'll be leaving now…" Duo said as he backed outta the room very slowly
"See ya later Heero buddy."
As soon as Duo backed out of the kitchen he bumped into the rest of the pilots.
"Kisama Maxwell! Why did you set your alarm so early! It woke us all up!"
"Sorry Wufei, I didn't mean to."
The rest of the pilots were in shock. Duo not teasing Wufei!? Wufei shook off his shock and grabbed the door handle.
"I wouldn't go in there if I were you."
"Why not Maxwell?"
"Heero's in there and he's in such a bad mood you'll get a bullet between your eyes before you know what hit you." Duo explained
"What happened last night really hit him hard. I've never seen him so upset." Said Quatre, "But I think that we should wait to talk to him until he's ready, or he doesn't have a gun."
"Good idea," thought the pilots in unanimous agreement
***************
The day passed without any great event. Heero had come out of the kitchen around 7 am. He had gone straight to his room and hadn't come out. The only sounds that came from the room were the sounds of typing.
"Damn it, I can't find the base. Even if this guy is mental, he's good." Heero said brow furrowed as the light of the laptop illuminated his thin features.
Now it was 11pm and almost every one was asleep. Heero was still working on his laptop. But when he nearly fell asleep on his laptop, he decided to go to bed. "I wish those damn dreams would stop."
"Why did you kill me?" Heero saw the face of the little girl and her dog.
"I didn't want to die."
Heero saw the faces of all the people he had killed swim around him. The cried out tauntingly. "Murderer! Heartless! Cold! We didn't want to die! You killed us without a second thought!"
Then Heero found himself on the day he had killed Field Marshall Noventa.
"Now young man, don't be foolish."
Heero sliced the shuttle in half. The Marshall voice could be heard. "You boy! You destroyed the hope for peace! You caused the war!"
Heero was back on the field where he first met the Girl and her dog.
The girl cried out to him, he body covered in blood and burns.
"You're truly heartless! How could you kill me! You deserve to die not me!"
Suddenly Heero found himself walking through the hallways of Dr.J's laboratory on L1
"Retrain him at once! The humane feeling of kindness is not necessary for our weapon!"
"I agree, but do you really think Heero Yuy would appreciate it if we buried his humanity?"
Then his life seemed to be revolving around him
"I'll kill you."
"What kind of person is he?"
"It's pretty obvious to anyone that you the bad guy here."
"Hey man, are you crazy? Hurry up and release you parachute! Oh, man are you trying to kill yourself or what?! Damn I'm gonna have nightmares over this one."
"Killer!"
"Murderer!"
"Bad Guy!"
"It hurts like hell."
"Mission Accepted"
"I'm on your side now."
"OZ has caught onto this place."
"Now young man, don't be foolish!"
"Are you going to kill me?"
"Omae o korosu"

Meanwhile Relena was walking back to her room after getting a drink from the kitchen. She heard sounds and muffled screams coming from Heero's room. Cautiously she opened the door "Heero?" she said quietly. She saw he was still asleep. But he was tossing and turning. He was covered in sweat and shaking. His face was buried in his pillow, muffling his screams. "Heero…" Relena said as she walked over to his shaking form. Relena sat down next to Heero and gathered him up in her arms. She stroked his head as if he were a child and murmured soothing words to him. Slowly his breathing slowed and he stopped shaking. Relena sat there and just held him, she was protecting him from his inner demons.
That morning Heero woke to find Relena holding him in her arms. Immediately he tensed. He realized that she could see straight through his mask to the soul within. Slowly he disentangled himself from her sleeping form and walked over to the window. As he stood staring into the forest behind the house and the ocean off to the right, Relena began to awaken. She walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Heero, tell me what happened on L3. If you don't tell me, I can't help you."
Heero closed his eyes and still staring out the window he began. "It was about two years before the start of Operation Meteor. I was sent on a mission to destroy an Alliance base on L3. While I waited for night to fall I was running through a park to try and forget what I had to do, the people who would die that night. I was lying in the grass when a little girl came up to me. She asked me if I was lost. I told her I had been lost since the day I was born. She gave me a flower and then her puppy Marie started to pull her away. Later that night I set explosives on the base. After I detonated the bombs I turned to walk away. But a Leo exploded causing another to fall onto a nearby building. I could only watch as hundreds of thousands of innocent lives were lost, because of me. In the aftermath, when the fires had died away I walked among the ruins, I found the dog and brought it back with me to L1. The failure of this mission, and the fact that the failure caused me not to return to L1 as early as the mission stated, caused them to train me to become a Perfect Soldier. Then I would have no remorse over the death of innocents if it meant accomplishing my mission."
He lapsed into silence and Relena placed a comforting hand on his back. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed the other pilots, Zechs, Noin and Sally were standing in the doorway.
"Now I get it." Duo said softly "The "Leader" said his daughter died alone so he probably was away when that happened, making him doubly revengeful."
Heero turned at the sound of Duo's voice. "Your right, that man is insane and he wants to get revenge for his daughter's death and for not being there for her."
A light of understanding went off in Heero's eyes. "What is it Heero?" Relena asked.
"I know where the base is…."
