Chapter 5-Brainwashed
Oy, my head. Now, where am I? Huh? Quatre woke up and saw Heero in the room as well, tied to a chair. He looked around and saw that they were in a room elaborately decorated for a party more likely, rather than holding prisoners. He himself was tied to a chair as well and the room was very bright with the lights and the fire in the fireplace.
"Heero, what happened?" asked Quatre. He saw Heero's wounds and that there was blood coming out of his mouth. Both of them each had a trickle of blood coming out of the corners of their mouths but Quatre didn't notice his blood in his mouth.
Heero didn't reply. Quatre thought that the inhuman Gundam pilot was exhausted. Either that or he simply didn't want to reply and that he was focusing on something else. He observed Heero's face but before he could figure out Heero's condition and expression, the door opened.
In the doorway, there stood two people. It was for Quatre and Heero to determine who they were despite that the lighting in the room was brighter than that of the hall. Soon, however, they determined that the two new comers were ladies.
Who are they? I can't determine their identity. Heero thought about them but still didn't know who they were.
"Dorothy? Mariemaya?" said Quatre uncertainly.
Indeed, they were Dorothy Catalonia and Mariemaya Khushrenada. Nevertheless, there was something different about them. Mariemaya was older than she was supposed to be and Dorothy seemed more aggressive than she did a few months ago. Dorothy had been Relena's second-in-command next to Milliardo Peacecraft until she disappeared in December. Mariemaya was presumed to be dead after their last encounter in the Colonies, but somehow, she survived the explosion and suddenly became 9 years older than she was supposed to be.
"Yes, it is us," answered Mariemaya. As they stepped into the pilots' views, Mariemaya was much taller than last time and was much older. Her hair was still as it had been last time Quatre saw her, short like Catherine's. Dorothy was just herself as always, arrogant and war loving.
"What happened to you? You can't be Mariemaya," said Quatre, with a hint of surprise in his voice.
"I'm a clone, but much older than my original self. And much smarter as well," answered Mariemaya.
This isn't right. Cloning a person is against the laws of nature. Mariemaya made a terrible mistake cloning herself. "Where is the real Mariemaya?" asked Quatre.
"She's dead..., but I'm her, and I will always be."
"Mariemaya, we don't have to answer to them now. Let's just get on with our plan," said Dorothy.
"What are you planning to do?" asked Heero grimly.
"We will brainwash both of you and program you under our command," said Dorothy plainly. "Of course, this is just an experiment. We'll try it on Heero Yuy first."
"Why him? You guys have gone too far this time," exclaimed Quatre.
"Heero has a stronger will than you, Quatre Raberba Winner, and we will win this time," said Mariemaya. "Take him away."
Two men came into the room and another came in with a needle in his hands. Two men restrained Heero, while the other was giving him an injection. Heero resisted the effect of the drug, but soon, he lost consciousness, and they dragged him away.
"Heero! Heero!" yelled Quatre, in an attempt to wake Heero up. But Heero didn't stir. As he tried even more, Dorothy stepped toward him and punched his left cheek, causing his yelling to stop.
"Don't worry about him. After all, he will be your enemy soon enough... Or should I say your ally?" Dorothy's maniacal laughter filled the air and Quatre's anger rose. It was very unlike him to have a temper. Then a screen descended from the ceiling and Quatre saw Heero strapped to a chair in a room with machinery all around him. He saw two men injected a drug and then Heero woke up but he didn't try to break out and two round, metallic pads were attached to his head. Later, a helmet with a lot of machinery over it descended onto Heero's head. The men strapped the helmet to his head and soon, the procedure began.
Electrical impulses began to get inside Heero's head. Heero gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, but the painful process made him yell out loud. Quatre's eyes grew wide as he oversaw the procedure. He soon looked away. Quatre did not want to look at Heero's painful expression. Then a shadow loomed over him and he looked up, directly into Dorothy's gray-blue eyes. As they looked into each other's eyes, Dorothy closed up against Quatre and their lips met.
As the two are locked in a kiss, Quatre was suddenly met with visions of the future. He saw the evil Heero with him evil as well and then Dorothy being shot. His eyes grew wide and Dorothy, sensing Quatre's discomfort, broke away. Quatre is then hit with heartache. He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and bent over, trying to overcome the effects of the heartache.
"My heart..." whispered Quatre.
"Quatre, what's wrong?" Dorothy asked with mocked concern.
Quatre didn't answer and looked up at her once again. Soon, he saw Heero's painful expression as he tried to resist the brainwashing. However, Quatre knew that Heero couldn't withstand it any longer. Tears began to well in his eyes. Be strong, Quatre. We will survive and overcome this. Quatre willed himself to be stronger.
After 30 minutes, Heero was blank of any expression and he seems to have no memory. Then, Mariemaya came into view and inserted something into Heero's temporal lobe. Then, two men came in and took the restraints off of Heero and Heero followed Mariemaya. The screen then ascended and Quatre was overwhelmed with emotion. Soon, Mariemaya and Heero entered the room.
"Quatre, meet Heero Yuy," said Mariemaya mischievously.
"NO, he's not Heero!" replied Quatre.
"Soon, he will be for you. Heero?"
Heero advanced toward Quatre and knocked him out. Then he dragged the unconscious Quatre toward his new life...
