Well here's chapter 7 hope you enjoy
Chapter 7: Respite
Everything was calm, the wind had died, and approximately a dozen men were now laid across the floor in front of the blue-eyed warrior. Ahead of him his last adversary stood with a handgun in his hand with a thin green pointer the projected it's way onto the chest of Heero's white t-shirt.
"Bastard!" The masked man exclaimed.
Heero and his opponent were within a shipping trailer yard, with different colored trailers the covered the area, some stacked onto each other, with the ocean to the back, there was also a towering Crain overhead. His opponents wore green military outfits but had on black helmets with a black mouth guard attached that covered their entire faces except for their eyes.
His attack stood over a dozen meters away, his hand firmly holding the gun in his hand, he was as tall as Heero and had a similar build. Heero remained unfazed from his adversary still holding his slightly sorrowful expression on his face. He just stood there as his attacker prepared to press the trigger, he saw when his finger squeezed it but before the shot could register, in the split second it took for the man to squeeze the trigger Heero faded from his view only to appear immediately and directly to his right.
The man turned his face in sheer shock but before he could cast his view on his opponent Heero's fist smashed into side of his jaw, the blow was so quick and powerful he didn't know what happened only that he was thrown off his feet.
As he was taken airborne he felt his consciousness slip away from him. He flew backward until he collided with a trailer leaving dent in it. He had now joined the rest of his comrades in being unconscious. Heero remained in the position he was in when he had moved from in front his adversary to his right. The whole action had taken a split second.
"Pathetic," He said coldly and emotionlessly as he stared at the man and his fallen comrades.
Heero took out his portable vid-phone from his jacket and pressed a button to bring up the holographic screen. On it appeared a young man dressed in a Preventer uniform.
"Area secure," Heero stated.
"Already!" The man said surprised, "But you just went in less than five minutes ago!"
Heero terminated the line and placed the vid-phone back into his jacket. He began to walk towards the trailer that had the dent in it, as he was walking he felt a sharp pain in his body, he winced a bit and stumbled back, falling onto one knee with his eyes on the ground.
"How did it feel?" A familiar voice called out "To bring pain and misery to your opponents here, I bet you enjoyed it didn't you?" It asked.
"I didn't give them this fate, they chose it when they broke the law," Heero replied calmly.
"Your law, laws that you people have invented, why should they be judged by it, something they disagreed with?" It asked again.
"It is there to protect the innocent, it is what had been decided," Heero answered calmly again.
"Those to weak to fight, to weak to protect themselves have no right to survive, they rely on others and don't rely on themselves and they don't trust either," The voice put blankly.
"I too once thought so also," Heero replied.
The voice now quieted down and Heero regained his stance and continued over to the trailer. His now unconscious opponent lay with his back against the trailer but the dark-haired warrior ignored him. He attempted to open the trailer but the dent that was formed prevented it from opening as the lock was now broken. Once more he wrapped his fingers around the metal bar but this time using a little more effort, he tore the door open completely rending the lock, part of the side of the trailer began to tear open also. Once part of the doorway was open he stepped inside, he was not surprised to see the trailer filled with different types of automatic and semi-automatic rifles that were filed along with energy projectile weapons.
The background was now swarming with Preventer agents all scurrying around trying to secure the rebels and trying to open the trailers and secure the weapons also, the same Preventer that was on his vid-phone appeared before him, he saluted him then began to speak. He appeared to be older than Heero but stood at the same height with the same build, he had short red hair, and green eyes and he appeared to be of Asian decent, he was also dressed in the same brown uniform as all the other Preventers.
"Thank you sir, we've already apprehended the rebels and secured this part of the dock, the other part is being secured as we speak," The young Preventer reported.
Heero didn't reply, but as he walked slightly past his subordinate the sound of gunshots were heard. Instantly he snapped around and with one movement jumped onto a trailer, then another that was higher and the then another until he was at the other end of the port there he could clearly looked down to see several Preventers and rebels firing upon each other. The wind had picked up as if sensing the malice of the battle, it forced his clothes to violently beat against his body but he ignored it, his expression didn't change, he only looked down to see a battlefield.
He jumped of the elevated platform from which he stood and landed behind two rebels were walking backwards towards the wall while firing on the Preventers, when they heard something land behind them they instantly turned around but were both instantly left unconscious. He walked forward calmly amidst the hail of bullets that were being exchanged. The blue-eyed boy reached up to another rebel and stood alongside him with his arms folded, immediately as the rebel turned his rifle to his new visitor Heero's hand held it firmly then with his other hand sent the terrorist plummeting towards another of his accomplices, the two were also left unconscious.
The gunshots had now stopped but left and eerie silence. Heero could feel an uneasy and tense pressure building in the atmosphere.
"Alright nobody move!" A rebel suddenly called out.
Heero was left in shock his eyes opened wide at what he saw. One of the rebels was holding was young three-year old girl hostage. She was being held against his chest with his right hand violently wrapped around her small form pressing her into place, his left hand was holding a handgun to her head.
"Alright now if you all want this girl to live, you'll all leave quietly," He instructed menacingly.
Heero stood rooted to his feet, he was fast but not fast enough to close the distance between him and his adversary in time to stop the bullet from reaching the girl's skull if he fired. Once more feelings of guilt washed over him, he could do nothing, and he was powerless to save the girl and to stop the man.
Instantly time stopped, the wind died, leaving everyone frozen, the image of a young red-haired girl appeared behind Heero.
"What are you afraid of?" She asked.
"I cannot stop him," Heero answered.
"Can you?" She asked again.
"If I do the girl will die, if I don't many more will later suffer," Heero replied.
"Well this is a dilemma? Isn't it?" She asked yet again.
"It's my fault, I have no power, I can do nothing," He answered.
"Heero, do not be afraid, your enemy is right before you, your future is laid before your eyes, tell me what do you see before your eyes?" The green-eyed girl asked.
"Yet another life I must be responsible for, another mistake," He sighed as he answered and lowered his face.
"You know, you couldn't save me but you can save her, and you have no guarantee that will spare her life should you give in," Was her final statement as he disappeared and time returned to normal.
"What are you waiting for?" The man declared, "I told you to throw down your weapons!"
Heero didn't move, his eyes glared at the man before him, the wind was no longer blowing against Heero but at his adversary, the wind was so powerful the man had problems holding onto the girl and several Preventers were forced to take cover, the rebel could no longer keep his eyes open, and the gun was slipping from his grasp.
Heero's eyes glared with something they hadn't shown in nearly three years, murderous intent, he released a low growl and an even more powerful blast of wind erupted. Instantly Heero vanished. The next second the man who was holding the girl hostage was thrown back several feet. Heero stood where the man once stood holding the young girl in one hand. He laid her down and watched as she placed her two feet on the ground, she had light brown hair with dark eyes, her hair reached to her neck and dressed in a bluish-white one-piece dress, with brown sandals.
"Are you okay?" He asked in a kind voice.
The girl nodded she was slightly afraid of him and Heero couldn't blame her.
"You see those men over there?" He asked pointing to where the Preventers were.
The girl nodded again.
"I want you to go there and wait for me," He instructed.
She nodded and ran off. Heero's back was facing the rebel who was now sitting on the ground.
"Hey, you were really gonna kill that girl weren't you?" Heero asked.
Suddenly the atmosphere became unbearable, the air was heavy, a feeling of insanity filled the air and a powerful wave of pressure pushed down on the rebel who was now on his hands and feet trying desperately to stand up, he felt his heart stop pumping blood. He was now terrified, here he was a hardened soldier with years of experience and a merciless killer now afraid of a boy in front of him.
