Chapter 4- Fallen Angel
Relena (Peacecraft) Dorlin glanced at the white haired teen sitting next to her. The scilence that had domonated them both was getting uncofortable.
"So. . .what's you name?" Relena asked.
"Relena Nova."
The younger Relena raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Well my name is-"
"Your name is Relena Peacecraft Dorlin. You live with you adoptive mother, you adoptive father was recently assanated by a woman named Conel Une."
Relena Dorlin fell scilent once more.
"So. . . Where are you from?" she asked.
"The future."
"Right. . ." The younger Relena looked sceptical. "Do you know me in the future?"
Nova's mouth twitched into a smirk. "You could say that. . . "
"What am I like?"
"You've fallen desprately in love with a insane and cold solider, who does not return that love. You're renowed for the work you've done towards world peace, though no one knows that you've become suisidal. You're currently sitting with your past self, who insists on asking stupid questions."
Relena Dorlin's mouth formed a "o" with her supprise.
"Relena. . ."
"Call me Sailor Nova, so it doesn't get confusing."
"Um. . .yes. What can you tell me about Heero Yuy?"
"The one we know?"
"Yes."
Sailor Nova glanced wistfully out of the limo. For a moment Relena thought that she wasn't going to answer.
"You'd be saving yourself alot of heartbreak if you stay away from him. But then again-" she gave her a pained smile, "Several people told us that, and we didn't listen then." She sighed, "He's a cold hearted snake. . ." then trailed off.
"You were in love with him weren't you?" Relena wispered quietly.
"Were? I still am- and I'm a bloody fool for it." she shook her head. "But enough of that. I'll bet you're wondering why I'm here."
"Yes, actulaly.
"And if I know you, which I should, you want to help."
She sounded so sincer somhow. . . Relena almost wanted to belive her- belive that she was sane.
"You still don't belive me. That's ok. I almost don't belive me either. Anyway I'm here to save the world- weather it wants to be saved or not."
"Save it from what?"
Sailor Nova idly fingered the necklase she wore. "Evil."
***********************************************
Lady Une was laughing- well whatever it was, she was laughing it off. Both Heero Yuys were at gunpoint- to eachother. Duo had joined Lady Une along with Wufei on the ground. Trowa was watching with a detached amusment, and Quatre was yelling at them, telling them to put the guns away.
"Omoe O Kusu."
"Same to you."
Mariemaya was tring to figure out what was so funny. Mariemaya began to think. 'Mariemaya's first rule of Gundam Pilots- Objects at gunpoint stay at gunpoint, unless acted upon by an outside force.' Then Mairemaya grinned, 'Such as a bullit.'
Lady Une stood up and tried to regain her compuser. "Heero, put the gun down."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"Because he'll shoot me."
"Now, how do you know that he'll shoot you?" jeered Duo.
"Because that's what I'd do if I were me."
"But you are you! And you CAN'T shoot him!!" yelled Duo.
"Yes I can!" called back Heero, defiantly.
"No you can't! Stop you two! You'd create a paradox!" Quatre said in a high pitched, whinny voice- desprate now.
"Yes Heero, Shoot! I've always wanted to know what would happen if you were to go back in time and kill your younger self!" cried Duo.
"Wufei stoped laughing for a moment. Quatre cocked his head to the side. "You'd die- right?"
Wufei snorted. "No backa! If you went back in time and killed your younger self you'd cease to exist. . ." he stoped for a moment, "but then how could you have shot you in the first place? Let's see, if you went back in time. . ." Wufei continued to muse for several minutes.
Lady Une couldn't take it anymore. She masaged her trobing temples, attmepting to ward off the on coming headacke. "PUT A LINE OVER THE REPEATING DECIMALS AND BE DONE WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!"
"Hn." both Heeros replied.
*/BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!/*
For one crucal moment, the younger Heero looked away. The gun went flying, and the younger Heero crumbled under the punch of the older. As the younger hit the sand, the older Heero shook his head. "Took me forever to learn to guard there. . Lady Une? Ready to go?"
Lady Une nodded. "Let's get this show on the road before the locals come!! And Heero?"
Heero sighed. "Thank you Zecks. . " he mummbeled.
**********************************************
"Here's your room, Sailor Nova." whispered the young Relena.
"Thank you. Dinner is at seven, as usual?"
"Yes. You might want to change before dinner, though. There are some extra dresses in the closit."
"Yes. I suppose that I look like something the cat needs to drag back outside," the disquiteing echo in her voice laughing at the statement. "Plus, we have work to do in the morning-" she glanced back at Relena. "No, I don't mean you," she sighed. "Don't ask."
"Are you SURE that you're me? You don't act like it."
"I act like you. . . if you were as old as I am and possesed by some of the most powerful forces in the galixy."
"Right. . ." her voice was sketptical. "Dinner at seven. See you then." said the young Relena.
"See you later little one," mummered Nova as the door closed. As soon as the younger Relena was too far away to hear, Sailor Nova colasped on the bed, sobbing.
**************************************************
"What time is it?" asked the young Relena.
"8:30."
"What is taking her? I'm going up to see."
Relena got up and headed up the stairs. Nova's room was dark. Heastenly, Relena opened the door, and saw the woman who clamied to be her older self colapsed on the bed, asleep, her face streaked with tears. Relena shook her head, and left the room, quitely closing the door.
"Peagan, don't hold dinner up any longer. Our guest will not be joining us."
"Yes mamam."
***********************************************
"This is DEFANITLY what I would call an 'Oh shit' situation. . ." mummered Duo as he wiggled closer to the fire, "Are you SURE they won't look for us, Lady Une?"
"Lady Une nodded. "Right now, at least, Oz probbly thinks that we're on their side, beacuse we tried to stop Relena. Plus this disguise will be aduaquite to confuerse an soilders who DO try and stop us. I'm just glad I followed my instinks and brought this." Lady Une was dressed in her old Oz uniform, compleate with glasses and buns.
Sally Po nodded at her superior. "We better be careful all the same.
Heero stared deeply into the fire. 'I bet she's going to get herself killed.' his monotone thoughts trailing along down the various paths of what COULD happen to Relena. 'She's been know to do stupid things before, if she thinks she's right... Stupid, stupid, stupid. . . and insane. . . insane. . .'
No one noticed Heero Yuy fall asleep, sitting upright, his eyes staring lifelessly into the fire.
***********************************************
It was almost eleven o'clock in the moring when the doorbell rang. Peagan answered the door, and escorted a young lady with short, dark blue hair almost covering her eyes into the parlor. With in a few minutes Relena Dorlin came down with two small glass to meet her.
"Miss Relena, my name is Lucreza Noin, but please call me Noin. I have come on behalf of Zecks Marquise-"
"You mean Milliardo Peacecraft." called a sinical and bitter sounding voice from up the stairs.
"YOU." hissed Noin. Sailor Nova chuckled.
"Yeah, us."
"Sailor Nova, what are you doing?" called Relena.
"Keeping an eye on you, Relena. You still get into too much trouble, and that's something we just can't afford right now, not with Oz, the Enemy, and two sets of Gundam piots on our tail." She was still dressed in the previous night's clothes, and she hadn't even washed the battle stains from her face. She scowled down at Noin. "Don't you have someplace to be? The senshi and I have alot of work to do."
"Senshi? That's the japonesse word for 'soilder' or 'warrior'. What do you mean?"
"That is for me to know-" she leapt from the top of the stairs, down the foryer; touching down lightly. "And you to find out!"
"Relena, I'd hate to see you get hurt because you were harboring an enmey of Oz." said Noin in a calm voice.
Nova snorted. " 'We' think you don't have any prespective on this. Leave the child alone. Your quarl is with us. If you're desprate, follow us; we'll go up to my room where we can discuss this with a little more privacy."
"Wait. This is my-" the young Relena began. Nova's sharp gesture cut her off.
"Relena Peacecraft Dorlin, hold your tounge before you embarris youself," she paused, "and us."
"This parlor will do just fine." Noin protested, suspecting foul play.
Nova smiled, then lighly covered Relena's ears with her hands. "Are you sure she'd be able to handle the truth? Many of the people on this world are not. With the possible inculesion of yourself."
"Try us." the two said in unison.
Sailor Nova sighed again. "Very well, but don't say we didn't warn you."
Relena rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Could you stop useing the mulitple? It's getting annoying, not to mention confusing when you repeatedly call yourself 'we' or 'us'."
"Diddo." mummered Noin under her breath.
"Let us explane. Let us know if you get lost- and that doesn't mean stop us if it's out of your reality comfort zone. Will you agree that there is evil in the world?" They nodded slowly. Nova contued. "Postulate altrenate universes and dimensions. Evil also exists there, correct? Magic might exist in those dimensions, but not here right?" Another nod. "Postuale bounderys of said universes and dimensions- bounderys can be crossed, correct? And those things that cross might be evil, good, or a combnation of both, right?" Noin and Relena nodded again. Nova sighed, "Imagine what would happen if an evil magical force became lose in a stricly magical world, such as this one."
The glasses Relena still held tummbled to the ground, crashing loudly.
"Exactly. That's what happened to the Tauris sutes that are missing Noin. The enemy has commendered them for it's own personal use. But do not fear! The Sailor Senshi are one of the forces sworn to protecting the innocent. They had crossed time and space, following it. But this dimetion was sealed from them, so they needed a figure head to inhabbit. I am playing host to them. I now contain their spirts within my body. When we talk together, we refure to ourselves in the plural," she looked directly at Relena, makeing her feel small and ingsiginfcant under her gaze. "Relena, I am your futer self. I've come here to save the world from an evil greater than Oz, or Quanze, or The White Fang- or anything else this world can consive of."
Noin shook her head. "Wait. How can I be sure that you're telling the truth?"
Suddenly fire leapt from beween her hands, upward. Slowly she shaped it, untill it was a flame that looked like a unicorn, prancing, and pawing at Nova's hands. "Ever seen a flame do that? I'll wager not. Noin, I want to talk to Treize. I would like you to tell him- oh and one more thing, be honest. Lieing undermines my cause. The demon feeds off of it, among other things."
"Such as?" asked Relena.
"Hate, jealocy, pain, death, ect. That's why I'm trying to stop- or at least postpone the war." Nova answered quitely- her tone bitter again.
Noin blinked. "Why do you sound so upset? If you ARE the futer Relena. . ."
Nova looked at Noin cooly, the bags under her eyes starkly apparent. "My life is one word Noin. Hell. Or if there are little ears listening, a living nightmare. You don't want to know why I act or feel the way I do, trust me on this one. You really don't. Now I'm going back up to shower before the press arrives. I'll explain better then."
Relena shifted unconforabley as her so called "older self" suantered up the stairs, leaving her and Noin to themselves.
*********************************************
Heero scowled. He sun was in his eyes, and every mucsle in his body had locked into the sitting position he'd slept in. As he foced himself upright, the loud poping noises from his spine awoke his comrads, several feet away.
"Everybody up!" Lady Une called.
Duo yawned. "Where's the fire?"
"Relena Dorlin has called a press confrence. We'd better get there before the assains do." Sally answered. "They'll be there in droves.
********************************************
The young Heero Yuy was already awake- his mission clear. Kill Relena Dorlin, and Sailor Nova.
********************************************
The enemy chuckled. The small resistance of that child was not going to stop him. She would be crushed, as part of his revenge, and then nothing could hinder him. Then. . .then haterd of his revenge would be poured out upon the world. It wouldn't be long now.
