Hatikva Ch.12
"Heero..." Relena's voice was shaking as Heero got closer.
Duo and the other pilots stood protectively in front of Relena and
Mariemaia.
Heero broke into a run and quickly knocked Wufei, Duo and Quatre,
completely ignoring Trowa.
-You will not bring any harm to any member of the Barton Family-
The Heavyarms pilot noticed that and decided to try something out.
He remembered how the real Trowa Barton would boast about how his
niece would rule the world with the help of his father's 'Weapon'.
"Zero-One, standby." He said simply.
-You will obey any orders given by a Barton-
Heero stopped and waited, staring blankly in front of him.
"Zero-One!" Dekim growled. "Ignore further commands from Trowa
Barton!" He smirked, "He is really a No-Name. Disable him!"
Trowa didn't see when he was knocked unconscious by a hit on the
back of the head.
Heero looked at the form on the floor, blinked, then pulled out a
gun, aiming it at Relena.
"Heero!" Mariemaia stopped in front of Relena. "Don't do it!"
"Zero-Two." Heero spoke softly. "Get out of the way."
Upon hearing this, Mariemaia's eyes clouded and she started to
comply. When she realized what she was doing, she shook her head and
glared at Heero.
Unlike Heero, who had been trained during twelve years, the last
two being the most intense and gruesome, Mariemaia had only been
trained for six years. Therefore it was easy for her to shake off
Dekim's brainwashing.
"Fight it, Heero!" She said, "I can do it! So can you, 'cause you're
stronger than I am!"
She still had the same heightened senses as her military counterpart,
so when she saw Heero's finger twitch on the trigger, she reacted.
"Don't!" She screamed, before she heard two gunshots.
She ducked and covered her ears. Relena was thrown back by the
impacts.
"Mission accomplished." Heero muttered. He walked towards the
cowering girl and extended his hand, "Let's go, Zero-Two."
Mariemaia slowly lifted her head to look at Heero, who wore no
expression on his face, then looked at Relena. The Vice-Foreign
Minister was bleeding from shot wounds on her arm and thigh. In the
exact same spots were Heero had been shot by Duo about two years
before.
Despite the situation, Mariemaia smiled. Her gamble had worked. She
could still get through to Heero.
"Zero-One!" Dekim called, "She's not dead!"
Heero slowly turned to set his cold gaze on the man.
"Zero-Two told me not to kill her." The boy answered.
"Idiot!" Dekim growled. He walked towards Heero and hit him on the
side of the head. "Your orders are to kill Vice-Foreign Minister
Darlian and recover Zero-Two!"
Heero stood. Fresh blood started flowing from a gash above his
eyebrow and into his eye. He lifted his gun and aimed at Relena's
forehead.
"Heero..." Mariemaia whispered.
Heero's gun wavered.
"What are you waiting for?" Dekim was growing desperate. Though
Zero-One had neutralized security ,someone outside the compound was
bound to notice, "Kill her!"
"I... I cannot..." Heero said softly, looking at the red-haired
girl's eyes.
"What did you say?" Dekim growled, walking towards Heero.
"If I kill Vice-Foreign Minister Darlian, Zero-Two will be hurt."
Heero answered, "I cannot hurt Zero-Two."
Dekim realized his mistake in programming Zero-One to be protective
of Zero-Two. The only one that ranked higher than her in Zero-One's
protection priority list was Dekim himself. He would have to reprogram
his weapon once this was over.
With an angry growl, Dekim punched Heero in the stomach and made him
fall on his knees.
"Are you dissobeying me?!" The man asked with menace in his voice.
"Answer me!"
"No, sir..." Heero groaned softly, "It's just..."
Dekim didn't let him finish. Instead, he viciously kicked the boy.
"You know what happens when you disobey me." Dekim smiled when he
saw the boy's body start to tremble and his eyes widen with fear.
Mariemaia couldn't watch any longer. Her companion was in danger
and she had to do something. She saw that Dekim was ready to strike
Heero again, and she ran to grab his arm.
"Stop hurting him!" She growled at the man.
"Little brat!" Dekim easily pushed the girl away from him.
Mariemaia tripped over Relena's unconscious form. When she tried to
stand, she found herself tangled in the Vice-Foreign Minister's limbs.
She looked up when she heard Dekim aproach her.
"That wasn't a smart move, Zero-Two." Dekim said, "Perhaps you need
the same treatment as Zero-One."
"NO!" Heero screamed. This time his eyes were clouded by a blind
rage.
He shot Dekim on the shoulder, making him stagger away from the
girl. He stood and walked towards the man.
"What are you doing?" Dekim demanded, covering the wound to staunch
the blood flow. "You will not hurt me!"
Heero fell on his knees and screamed as a sharp, blinding pain shot
from his spine and into his brain.
"Do you like it?" Dekim grinned, "It's a little failsafe program in
case you ever tried going against me."
"Bastard..." Mariemaia growled softly.
The pain stopped as suddenly as it had started. Heero stayed where
he was, breathing heavily and waiting for his mind to clear. After a
while, he stood and glared at Dekim. He slowly lifted his gun and his
finger twitched on the trigger.
"What did I just say." Dekim said. He watched as, once again, Heero
was brought to his knees by the pain. "Trying to do something to me
will only cause you pain!" His proud grin turned into a frown when he
noticed that the gun was still aimed at him, "What? Impossible..."
"You... wil not... hurt... us... again..." Heero groaned and pulled
the trigger until his gun was empty.
