A/N: ^_^ I'm in a good mood today, yay for me. ¬.¬ Anyways, here's the
newest chapter, enjoy!
"Heero did WHAT?!" Noin exclaimed over the screen to an aggravated Wufei.
"You heard me, he self destructed. He's alive right now, but, we don't know if his condition's stable or not." Wufei impatiently explained.
"...Alright, the enemy has retreated, so, you two should be near here by now, right?" Sally calmly asked. Wufei nodded.
"We can see the base from here." He said.
"Can you see us?" Millardo asked. Sally shook her head.
"No, I think we're on the wrong angle." Noin replied.
"Well, whatever, we should be there in a few minutes. Be ready for us." Wufei said as his image flickered off the screen. Millardo said a quick goodbye, and then his image disappeared as well.
".......Commander Noin! Commander Sally! OZ and Nehelainya has sent us a message!" the two commanders, and gundam pilots, turned around in surprise.
"Probably to gloat about their obvious win." Trowa grumbled under his breath.
"Alright, Trowa, Quatre, could you wait here for Lieutenant Virgil and the senshi, as well as Heero, Zechs, and Wufei?" Noin asked. The two nodded.
"Thanks, we'll inform you later!" Sally said as the two hurriedly left for the conference room.
"........Lieutenant Virgil-"
"No need to stick with formalities, you all aren't in my squad.......and I believe you all would either be my superiors or equals." Virgil said, cutting into Setsuna's sentence.
"Alright, Virgil, everyone seems to be mentioning 2 other wars. What happened?" she asked as the small group rode in the back of the truck. Virgil got a bitter smile on his face.
"Ah yes.......the two wars. The first one started with the one and only, OZ. It all started when the colonies were first made; Earth was convinced the colonists would attack them, while the colonists were convinced Earth would attack them. I dunno' about your world, but politicians here are ridiciously paranoid, and drag us soldiers into their dumb superstitions. As you can imagine, the tensions ran high. Thankfully, or unthankfully, depends on the way you look at it, a man named Heero Yuy stepped in." Virgil stopped for minute as he noticed the disbelieving looks he was getting.
"HEERO?! You mean the assassinating-killing-machine, Heero?!" Minako exclaimed. Virgil shook his head.
"No, You see, this man was a good friend with another pacifist, King Peacecraft. Heero managed to ease the tensions between Earth and the colonists by having peace talks and such with the king and the others. Finally, it almost looked as if peace was around the corner......unfortunately, someone hired an assassin, they killed Heero Yuy. Now, people believe it was OZ or the Alliance. Ya' see, OZ was nothing but small-unknown terrorist group back then, and the Alliance and OZ were the only ones who actually benefited from Heero Yuy's death, but because OZ was barely known, and the Alliance gave nobody any reason to believe they did it, Earth blamed the colonies, and the colonies blamed the Earth. War was on the brink, and as I said before, the colonists had no army, accept the gundams, but, back then, there were no gundams. They were utterly defenseless, the Alliance, upon seeing their chance, convinced the colonists that it would be wise if they joined up. However, all their 'partnership' did was let the Alliance take over the colonies, and turn it into a bunch communistic floating 'countries'. Earth didn't care, and the colonists did rebel, so, naturally, the colonies looked a lot like Earth does now. Then, Earth waged war, and the 'colonists' retaliated...." and so he went on, explaining the Alliance, 'Zechs Marquise', Treize Kushranada, the scientists, OZ, the role the gundams did in the war, Sally, Noin, White Fang, the scientists who made the gundams, The Earth Unified Nations, and Mariemeia while the senshi listened in awe.
"Wow!......But, you left some things out." Chibi-Usa said. Virgil gave the little girl a puzzled look.
"Oh?" he asked. She nodded.
"You never told us how Duo, Wufei, Quatre, Trowa, or Heero became gundam pilots, or why Heero was named after a pacifist." Chibi-usa pointed out. Virgil shrugged.
"No one knows, except the pilots themselves." He cryptically said.
".....But, I thought you said you knew Duo personally, wouldn't he have told you?" Rei asked.
"He did, but I'm not at liberty to discuss something like that, it's a personal reason and belief, something he should be forced to tell you himself."
"How much longer until we get to the base?" Mamoru asked upon hearing Virgil's note of finality in his voice. Virgil shrugged.
"Judging by the time that's passed, I'd say about 5-10 more minutes." He casually leaned his head against the truck walls and closed his eyes. The rest sat in silence, each absorbed in their own thoughts as the truck moved onwards towards the sullen base.
"Heero!" Qautre worriedly exclaimed as he saw the bloody state of his friend. Nataku put Heero down as gently as it could before it stepped in front of one of the platforms and Wufei hurriedly exited Nataku, Millardo doing the same. A small handful of paramedics quickly put Heero onto a stretcher and left, leaving the four pilots alone.
"Trowa, Quatre, how is Duo's condition?" Millardo asked. Quatre managed a small smile.
"They say his condition is stabilized, he'll survive, but," he cast a worried glance to the hallway where the paramedics left, "what about Heero?" Quatre asked.
"We don't know. He was alive last time I checked, but we don't know if his condition's stabilized as well." Wufei gruffly informed the two, then, he regarded the two suspiciously, "Why aren't you all helping around the base, or visiting Duo?" he asked.
"We got a message from OZ and Kaos, Sally and Noin left to check it out. They asked us to wait for you guys and the senshi.......as well Lieutenant Virgil." Trowa explained.
"Virgil's still alive? I thought he died on the colonies. He is from L2, right?" Millardo said in surprise.
"Yeah, I guess he was away when it happened." Quatre said with a shrug.
"Hmph, looks like they managed to make it in one piece." Wufei said as he saw the small group of jeeps and one truck carrying Deathsythe enter the gates.
"Yeah, looks like it."
"Is it a message or are they really there?" Sally asked as they entered the conference room, half expecting to see the OZ commander and Kaos smirking at her. The soldier shook his head.
"They sent us a recorded message, Commander." He reported. Noin nodded and waved her hand dismissively at him.
"Alright then, thank you for alerting us, solider, you're dismissed." She said. He nodded and left the room while Sally quickly walked up to the screen panel and started to push buttons.
"I found a file, this must be it." She said as she brought it up to the screen. Sure enough, the pudgy OZ commander and still young Kaos appeared, both smirking triumphantly at them.
"Well, well, looks what happened, two of your gundam pilots, either critically injured or better yet, dead! Maybe this shall teach you from making alliances from behind my back! Did you think I would not be watching you all?" she sneered, then she relaxed inter her chair with a smug grin, "But, since I'm such a sensible person...."
"More like 'sense I'm such a bitchy melodramatic psycho bitch......." Noin muttered as she heard what Kaos said.
"......I'm willing to let my deal stand, however the date stands as well. I will still be expecting your answer then, or you won't just have 2 hurt or dead gundam pilots!" she finished. The OZ commander just sneered at them and added, "Yeah!" before the screen went black.
A/N: Sorry the chapter's so short. -_- I'll TRY to make it longer next chapter. And, if someone could be so kind as to tell me how you use italics and bolds on ff.net. for some reason I can't. Thanks, and please, R&R!
