Trevor Yuy.... PART 4
By Axisor
Gomen! Gomen ne! Gomen nasai! VERY SORRY!!!!!
I didn't mean for it to take this long between postings. School sucks! I had over 4 hours of math homework alone last Thursday so I didn't get to work on this then and this past weekend I forgot my diskette in my locker that had parts of this typed up on and then I had trouble figuring out what mobile suit to stick Trieze in and then I had trouble figuring out HOW to end the battle.... Oy Vay! That's a lot of excuses and they are all keeping you from reading the ending part.
Okay-- here's the fourth and LAST part of Trevor Yuy. ENJOY--I command you (lol). Review-- I beseech you. I enjoy all the reviews. I got plenty of them to post this part. I was very impressed. I hope you all read-- oh wait-- I'll just say that at the end. Read and enjoy-- Oh... and I noticed none of you have commented on the cat... do you NOT like him? Just wait-- he plays a bigger role in this one. :þ
Sad part is that I don't own any part of the WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL Show Gundam Wing but I am willing to buy a part-- hopefully Trowa, if someone could tell me were to get him at and if it's under my paycheck (which I doubt).
******************************************************************
Trevor woke up bright and early in the morning. He knew instantly what today was and he knew he was as ready as he could be. He opened his eyes and a little black and white face was right there. "I almost forgot about you." The kitten's ears perked up and he opened his eyes to reveal their yellow-greenness. "I still have to come up with a name for you, don't I?"
He got up to get dressed, which became a challenge. He was trying to find a set of clothes that didn't look like the ones he already had on, which were the ones he had worn the previous day. Those clothes looked remarkably similar to the clothes he wore the day before that. Eventually, though, Trevor gave up that plan and grabbed a green tank top and a pair of black pants.
On his way to the breakfast room, Trevor swung by the living room to pick up his notebook. *Guess I forgot it in here when I went to bed last night-- wait! I don't... remember going to bed last night.... or the night before.* He entered the room to discover that Trowa had finally gotten over all that caffeine he had consumed the previous day, and he had fallen asleep on the couch, flute still in hand.
Trevor carefully extracted the flute from the slumber's fingers and placed a light blanket over him (one he conveniently found in a conveniently located closet). As Trevor turned to leave with his notebook in hand, a voice called him back. "You already for the big day?"
"You're awake?" Trevor asked, cautiously approaching the figure on the couch. He certainly didn't LOOK awake. He hadn't moved at all. Trevor was about to turn to leave when he heard:
"Not really. You ready?"
He just about jumped on the coffee table. He had been watching Trowa the whole time. He hadn't seen the seventeen (YES! He's 17! So HA!) year old move at all--not even his lips! *Just stay calm.* "As ready as I'll ever be, I guess."
Trowa then gave up on sleep and sat up. "That's not true, but we don't have the time. Go get breakfast and I'll be in shortly." Then he reached down, scratched the cat's ears, and left for his own room.
Trevor entered with the kitten on his heels and put a little of the eggs on a plate with some ham and bacon. As he started to bend over with the plate, Quatre came out of the kitchen. When he said, "No, no, no, no-- WAIT!" he snatched the plate from Trevor's hands. "I have cat food." Then he disappeared into the kitchen with the plate.
Trevor and Relena exchanged glances and shrugs. Together they waited for Quatre to return. The kitten, though, didn't want to wait. It was hungry and it wanted food NOW! He loudly voiced his complaints to Trevor. Just then Wufei came in. "Shut that DA-arn cat up!" He growled loudly, "Or I will do it!"
The goofy cat, though, didn't perceive the threat. He walked right up to the new comer and started asking for food from him. H rubbed up against Wufei's legs and kept trying to jump in his lap. His attempts, though, were only unsuccessful in the fact that Wufei kept grabbing him in midair then dropping him back to the ground. Wufei made some comment about it being a stupid cat and Relena said, "He just thinks that you're playing a game with him... probably because you were too tired to play with him last night."
"I wasn't too tired.... I just don't like cats--In fact I hate them!" Then he gave the black and white ball of fur a dirty look which was shortly destroyed by a sneezing fit.
"Bless you, Wufei," Quatre said as he came out and put a plate on the floor. The kitten ran over to the plate and began to eat greedily. "Allergic to our new friend, hm?" Then without waiting a beat for Wufei to answer, Quatre continued with, "Guess we'll have to do something about that."
"You mean--you mean," Trevor said as his eyes lit up. "You mean we ARE going to keep him?" As Trevor started bouncing around the room, Quatre said:
"Well, we'll have to see. The whole group has to decide but...." at the same time that Wufei was saying:
"No. No. NO! We are NOT keeping him!" Then he let out a sneeze.
"But-but--" Trevor said, turning on the quivering lip.
"Don't be weak." Wufei said in disgust as he shot a dark glare at Trevor. His red, puffy eyes just added to the effect which was quickly destroyed as he let out a trio of sneezes.
"Wouldn't allergies be a weakness too? Especially if you don't learn to deal with them" Trowa said quietly and calmly as he leaned, arms crossed, against the doorway to the room.
"Trowa!" Trevor said as his face lit up again. He hadn't expected to see him again until later since he obviously didn't get much sleep the previous night. *Oh well... but he'll help me convince them to let me keep the kitten.*
Trowa walked over to Trevor, ruffled the combed hair, and said as he headed past him to the coffee pot, "We'll talk about the cat after your battle. Eat now." The Trowa poured himself a cup of coffee, almost laughed at Trevor's worried expression, and started getting himself breakfast.
A little while later, Duo came in, even less awake than he was the pervious day (if that's REALLY possible). He reached almost blindly to pour himself a bowl of his cereal. It was his struggle in locating the milk Trevor hadn't put back in the exact location he found it in that caused Trevor to look up and see this display. Then he said, "I'll get it for you, Duo." (Now let me take a moment to point something out to you... Yes, Trevor is a sweet, adorable, friendly little kid but let's face it... Heero's constantly plotting and planning, right? Well that mind didn't just happen. He had to have had it for a while... starting about when he was about... oh... say--six? With that in mind, could it be possible that this overly friendly attitude of Trevor's be some covert way of trying to win Duo's vote for a certain feline friend? Hm... Maybe..... Maybe not.)
"I just thought of something." Duo said after taking a couple bites of cereal.
"Wait a second," Wufei said as he ran out of the room. He then came back a few seconds later. "Okay, I'm ready to listen now."
Duo gave him a dubious look, thought *He probably marked it on the calendar* (which he did), and said, "Trieze has seen Heero and spoken to him. He'll know something is wrong as soon as he sees Trevor. He'll know something is wrong even if we manage to keep visual off. Trevor's voice will give him away. It's just not... Heero." He took another bite of Glucose-High! as he let that soak in. "Either we teach Trevor to act like Heero or Trieze might come looking for us to battle and destroy the whole surrounding area in the process. At least that city the two of them will be fighting in needs to be torn down anyway."
Quatre's jaw dropped. *He's usually barely coherent in the morning, let alone putting two and two together to come up with a very dangerous four, A four that the four of us didn't even see coming,* Quatre thought as he looked at Wufei, Trowa, and Relena (plus himself is four but he can't very well look at himself, can he?). Quatre added to this shock that even Trowa seemed (and actually was) even more awake than Duo and Quatre had heard Trowa playing the flute when he woke briefly at four in the morning (it was currently 8:30 in the morning.) "Looks like we need to teach Trevor to be Heero by four or else the past two days would have been pointless."
So then the lessons of One-Tone Voice, Expressionless Face, and Heero Posture and Composure began. Duo really wanted to add a Death Glare course but received dark glares from Wufei and Trowa, and Quatre just remarked on the lack of time.
After seven hours straight of learning and practicing being Heero, Trevor was declared "good enough" by the four pilots. In reality, though, they were impressed. He had managed to accomplish another near impossible task better than expected. He hadn't slipped into 'Trevor' for a while now. His acting like Heero had started becoming a habit for him. He was sent out to his Gundam then because he needed to leave shortly to get there, hopefully, before Trieze and learn the lay of the land.
On his way to Wing Zero, though, Trevor was stopped by Relena. "I just... I just wanted to say... 'Good luck,'" she said quietly, not daring to look in his eyes.
"Thank you," Trevor replied, surprised.
Relena then looked up startled. "Don't go! Oh please DON'T go!" she cried out. Her eyes were starting to collect tears around the edges.
*Why is she-- She doesn't think I can do this.... She-she thinks I'm going to die.* Trevor thought touched (and slightly annoyed). "I have to, Relena," he said gently and wiped away a tear that trickled out of her eye with and equally gentle finger.
"No, NO you don't. I'm sure if we just tell Trieze, he'd understand. Then you wouldn't have to fight him He-Trevor," Relena said passionately.
She recovered well from her slight slip up, and quickly at that, but it wasn't enough. Trevor had caught it. He also came to a very quick conclusion. "I don't believe this! How could you?! How could you still care for that jerk? After the way he treats you? You were going to say 'Heero' weren't you? Weren't you?! You don't care about me! Just him. You're only worried about me because if I die, he dies!"
Then Trevor ran down the hall at full speed. His animosity towards Heero and his vexation for Relena gave him even greater speed which swiftly carried him out of hearing range of Relena's voice as it said, "I'm sorry. I just thought... you were my Heero again. You sounded... and acted just like him. Oh Trevor, don't go get yourself killed in your anger."
She stood there for a little bit, just watching where the figure had run off to, until the confused kitten at her feet started demanding attention. She bent over and picked him up, then went off in search of the other pilots.
Trevor waited, not patiently, for Trieze to arrive. He kept repeating quietly to himself the diplomatic speech Quatre made him memorize. All the pilots had stressed the importance of it. Personally, Trevor didn't understand how some system could make him go crazy, but they certainly didn't have time to teach him everything so he just went along with it. It was so important to them, though, that they had even disabled the system in the Gundam. Finally, after what had seemed like an eternity to Trevor, Wing Zero beeped at him, telling him that Trieze was approaching in Epyon.
Trevor activated the communications system just how Duo had shown him. Once he saw Trieze's face, Trevor concentrated himself entirely on acting--being--Heero and repeating Quatre's speech perfectly. "Trieze, I have one request for this duel of ours. Neither of us uses the Zero System in our Gundams. This duel should be a duel between out real abilities, not our enhanced abilities."
This threw Trieze off for a moment. This wasn't like the Heero he had met and studied. That Heero would have not cared whether they used the System or not. He did silently applaud the wording of the statement, though. It was set up so that if Trieze rejected it, which he didn't intend to, he would look like a coward whose only fighting abilities came from the Zero system. "Agreed." Trieze gave the command to Epyon to change and the battle began.
Back in the Gundam house, the four pilots plus Relena were gathered around a number of TV's. Wufei had managed to set up many cameras on the perimeter of the city that sent a direct visual feed-line to those TV's. The previous day Quatre, who had found them conveniently laying around the house, had decided that Wufei's extra energy could be put to good use in setting them up, since no one else was allowed to be at the dueling site. Both Trowa and Quatre were now sitting on the floor controlling the cameras as to zooming in and out and pivoting them for better camera shots. Duo was all set with remotes to turn off the TV's who lost the feed.
They watched anxiously as Trieze started his attack with Epyon's heat rod (that tail thing on the arm) and as Trevor nimbly maneuvered Wing Zero out of the way. After about two or three more such attacks, Trieze flew head on at Wing Zero who moved out of the way at the last second and fired the twin buster rifle to sever Epyon's heat rod. The heat rod went flying and knocked out camera's 12 and 13. The onlookers didn't care, though. Duo, Quatre, and (surprisingly) Relena, let out a cheer. Epyon only had his beam sword left to fight with.
As Epyon crouched into a fighting stance, Wing Zero put the rifle away and brought out his beam saber. "This should be interesting," Wufei commented quietly to himself. Unfortunately, the others gave him a concerned look after reluctantly drawing their eyes away from the battle. "There is no way possible for Trevor to master the sword in less than three days." He replied calmly in answer to their questioning eyes. Wufei returned his attention to the televisions and rooting the young man on silently. The others turned worried eyes back to focusing on the screens.
They saw Epyon slash at Wing Zero's mid-section which caused Wing Zero to step back and trip, roughly landing on top of a medium sized building. Trieze brought Epyon's arm back into a potentially final blow. That blow was blocked as the young boy had the powerful machine deflect it with an in-to-out block then brought the legs up to kick Epyon in the "stomach" and push him off and away.
The Gundams both took to the air. Trevor opened fire with the machine cannons. The Speed of Epyon carried it away from the bullets which ended up knocking out cameras 1 to 6. The red/black mobile suit came up behind the multi-colored one and brought the sword up in preparation for a backhanded attack. An attack blocked by the rising of the beam saber but the momentum of the assault caused the two to crash into the earth and skid into several buildings. The debris that went flying knocked out 9, 10, and 11. Only three cameras remained.
Wing Zero managed to throw Epyon off, who stepped back to regain his balance. Camera 14 was crushed. Wing Zero just stood there for a few moments, not taking the initiative to go on the offensive. It seemed as if all that knocking around was too much for poor Trevor. Trieze sent Epyon flying at Wing Zero as if he had lost all patients in the duel and just wanted it over. Wing Zero parried with remarkably speed and threw Epyon to the ground with a follow through move. Camera 8 was sat on and 7 was crushed by Epyon's right hand. "Now we just have to wait and see." Trowa said sitting back to lean on his hands. The kitten took this opportunity to try and strike up a game with him.
A few hours later, everyone's nerves were frazzled in the Gundam house. Several times a pilot would try to go off and see how it had turned out because "surely it must be over by NOW!" but the others always talked him out of it. Basically, all of them were acting like mother hens without a chick. Finally, everyone had had enough of waiting and started getting ready to head to the dueling site.
Meanwhile, at the dueling site, the duel had been declared a draw. Trieze had received a very urgent call about how Lady Une was suffering horribly from her case of split personalities and how he was needed to referee the match. The other pilot, having intercepted the message agreed to the decision for a temporary draw.
The previous hour and a half had been spent matching blow for blow with neither Gundam gaining the upper hand. Besides, the younger pilot was suffering visibly from a headache so painful that he could barely concentrate at all, let alone on defeating Trieze. Epyon left the site with its pilot thinking, *That boy certainly has changed since we last met. I studied his technique for months in preparation for this and then as soon--even before that actually... he acted differently. Then when I think I have that style figured out, he switches to the style I had studied. Just when I thought I had him figured out again, he threw me another curve. I never would have expected him to have let me go like that.* So that was how the confused Trieze left the destroyed city. Wing Zero stood there watching as Epyon left.
When the other pilots showed up, Wing Zero was STILL standing there. They exchanged worried expressions as they got out of Wufei's truck (he had gone to get gas for it on foot the previous day in an attempt to kill his energy and to help him carry the camera equipment to the dueling site). Trowa and Wufei climbed up Wing Zero and extracted their passed-out friend from the cockpit and brought him back to the ground. They placed him in the bed of the pickup truck. Quatre flew Wing Zero home and Trowa stayed in the back of the truck with the unconscious young man as Wufei drove them home.
Relena came running out of the house when they pulled into the driveway and directed Trowa in carrying the nearly-comatose pilot to his room.
A few hours later, the being on the bed stirred. "This is the last time I'm carrying you to your bed," Trowa said gruffly with an almost-smile on his face.
"What?" the voice from the bed said. It had a one-tone quality and, yet, it sounded confused.
"I carried you up yesterday and the day before that and again today. This is the last time."
"Trowa? No... that can't be Trowa. That's too many words for Trowa."
Trowa acknowledged the remark with a "Hmph." He went over to the intercom and announced, "He's up." A few moments later everyone came barging into the room, then the door was slammed behind them.
"Trevor!" Relena exclaimed as she ran over and hugged the boy on the bed tightly.
He quickly pushed Relena away and said, "Who's Trevor?"
"Tre- Trev... Trevor?" Relena stuttered then exclaimed, "Heero!"
"Yes. Who else would I be?"
"But-but-but-but- you're Trevor. When were you Heero again?" Duo asked puzzled.
"As far as it concerns you, I've always been Heero Yuy." He said giving a glare to Duo who just smiled, happy to see his friend back.
"But.. but you were going by Trevor just a few hours ago. Isn't Trevor your real name?" Quatre inquired.
"No."
That one word brought a silence that came across the entire room and loud yelling was heard on the other side of the door. Relena went over and opened the door, letting a black and white streak rushing into the room. Then the cat leapt onto the bed and was rubbing affectionately against Heero, and was purring loudly.
"What is this?" Heero said, holding the cat by the nape of its neck at an arms distance.
"It's your cat." Relena said, shocked at the disdain in Heero's eyes.
"I've never had a pet," Heero said as he dropped the cat on the bed. He stared at the cat as the feline stood, walked over to Heero's lap and crawled in, looking like the happiest critter on the Earth. "So, how did we get it?"
"You mean you don't remember?" Trowa asked, shock evident in his voice.
"No... should I?" Heero asked bluntly.
"Yeah," Quatre said, "Do you remember anything that happened these past three days since you were hit by the brick?"
He seemed kind of shocked about the fact he had no idea what Quatre was talking about... or that it had been three days... or maybe it was something else. It was hard enough to tell he was shocked with his emotionless mask on, let alone what he was shocked about. "I remember telling Relena I had accepted Trieze's challenge, pain in the back of my head, and then seeing Epyon flying at me and I was in Wing Zero."
"So you don't remember anything that happened?" Duo asked earnestly.
"NO. I don't. Why don't you just tell me doubt it instead of asking the same thing over and over again?" He said impatiently.
"Well... after you talked to me, you were hit on the head by a brick. When you came to you got angry with us for calling you Heero and insisted on being called Trevor Yuy." Relena started the story gently.
"We called in a doctor and he declared that you had amnesia and must have been called Trevor when you were six." Quatre added.
Then Wufei spoke up, "We would have seemed weak if we told Trieze that you weren't you so we trained Trevor on how to use the Gundam, fight in the Gundam against a Gundam and taught him about the mobile suits and Trieze. You saved that worthless flea-bag when you fought against Trowa."
"And you carried this notebook everywhere, once you got it." Duo finished the story by holding out the notebook filled with all the mobile suit information.
Heero took it, laid it down on the bed in front of him, and started flipping through the pages making a comment every so often about how he didn't know something and how he knew that something else was wrong. As he was turning the pages with his left hand, his right hand was absentmindedly petting the creature in his lap, who looked like the happiest animal in existence. Suddenly, as he read some comments written in the margin of a page, it was as if a light had gone on in his head and he could 'see' what had happened during the past three days or so. His head snapped up and he looked right at Duo and said, "Touching speech."
"YOU-You remember? You remember it?" Duo exclaimed.
Heero nodded then said, "Most of what happened, too." Then he looked down at the happy neko (I finally found the Japanese word for cat! YAY! :þ). "So did we ever come up with a name for him?"
"You five never really decided if you were going to keep him or not." Relena pointed out gently.
"We are keeping him." Heero said bluntly. Then added, "Quatre, Duo, and Trowa obviously want to keep him and that's three... four against one," when he saw the shocked looks on most of the faces.
Wufei was about to make a SERIOUS objection to this but when Heero gave him the ULTIMATE Death Glare (very, very rarely used!) he held his silence, even stifling the sneeze that was coming.
"Well, he's more yours than ours, Heero." Duo pointed out as the cat snuggled further into Heero's lap and started falling asleep there.
Heero paused to think for a little bit as he watched the purring kitten who seemed to be trying to vibrate Heero off the bed. "How about the name... Trevor, then?"
******************************************************************
I hope you all enjoyed the story. I had a friend of mine inform me of what Heero's real name is (which isn't Trevor but I can't remember it at the moment besides the fact that he's a junior) so... (to answer a popular question/comment) No, he's not related to the leader of the colonies. :(
I also know that that was a cheep way to end the duel but I couldn't very well have Heero beat Trieze or else you would have known it was Heero not Trevor and I just couldn't bare to have Trieze beat Heero, so I don't want any flames about that since you now know my reasoning, okay?
I also hope you all will keep me in mind in the future for when you want to find a fic to read-- I'm going to work on a Heero-Relena fic ::sweat drops because she has never EVER written that type of fic before:: which will be up when it's up and I might post a fic that's entered my mind about g-boy being in school before that... depending on how quickly each writes. You could call what comes out next.... or at least suggest it which might (or might not) influence that.
One last thing before I let you review WHICH YOU BETTER DO SINCE I DID A LOT OF WORK--ON THIS PART ESPECIALLY--AND I DON'T WANT IT TO HAVE GONE TO WASTE! FLAMES WILL ALSO BE ACCEPTED, BUT ONLY IF THEY ARE really CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM! And I love all you people who did review the other parts of this story-- you're the ones that made sure that this thing didn't take a month to come out!
A friend of mine (the same one who told me Heero's name) found a GW/DBZ crossover in which there was a special flower, an android Duo, Duo got killed and Relena and Heero got together.... If you happen to be able to find this fic (It's on this site somewhere (somewhere that I happen to not be able to FIND!)) please tell me where or at least who wrote it.
You can e-mail me at Axisor02@hotmail.com.
Send just about any ff.n stuff. I set up that account specifically for ff.n stuff. Ideas, suggestions, notices on when you are posting (I might read it (probably will when I get school under control) unless if I don't like it in which case I will notify you of it).
Thanx, Axisor :þ

Trevor carefully extracted the flute from the slumber's fingers and placed a light blanket over him (one he conveniently found in a conveniently located closet). As Trevor turned to leave with his notebook in hand, a voice called him back. "You already for the big day?"
"You're awake?" Trevor asked, cautiously approaching the figure on the couch. He certainly didn't LOOK awake. He hadn't moved at all. Trevor was about to turn to leave when he heard:
"Not really. You ready?"

Trowa then gave up on sleep and sat up. "That's not true, but we don't have the time. Go get breakfast and I'll be in shortly." Then he reached down, scratched the cat's ears, and left for his own room.
Trevor entered with the kitten on his heels and put a little of the eggs on a plate with some ham and bacon. As he started to bend over with the plate, Quatre came out of the kitchen. When he said, "No, no, no, no-- WAIT!" he snatched the plate from Trevor's hands. "I have cat food." Then he disappeared into the kitchen with the plate.

Trowa walked over to Trevor, ruffled the combed hair, and said as he headed past him to the coffee pot, "We'll talk about the cat after your battle. Eat now." The Trowa poured himself a cup of coffee, almost laughed at Trevor's worried expression, and started getting himself breakfast.
A little while later, Duo came in, even less awake than he was the pervious day (if that's REALLY possible). He reached almost blindly to pour himself a bowl of his cereal.

With that in mind, could it be possible that this overly friendly attitude of Trevor's be some covert way of trying to win Duo's vote for a certain feline friend? Hm... Maybe..... Maybe not.)
"I just thought of something." Duo said after taking a couple bites of cereal.
"Wait a second," Wufei said as he ran out of the room. He then came back a few seconds later. "Okay, I'm ready to listen now."
Duo gave him a dubious look, thought *He probably marked it on the calendar* (which he did), and said, "Trieze has seen Heero and spoken to him. He'll know something is wrong as soon as he sees Trevor. He'll know something is wrong even if we manage to keep visual off. Trevor's voice will give him away. It's just not... Heero." He took another bite of Glucose-High! as he let that soak in. "Either we teach Trevor to act like Heero or Trieze might come looking for us to battle and destroy the whole surrounding area in the process. At least that city the two of them will be fighting in needs to be torn down anyway."
Quatre's jaw dropped. *He's usually barely coherent in the morning, let alone putting two and two together to come up with a very dangerous four, A four that the four of us didn't even see coming,* Quatre thought as he looked at Wufei, Trowa, and Relena (plus himself is four but he can't very well look at himself, can he?). Quatre added to this shock that even Trowa seemed (and actually was) even more awake than Duo and Quatre had heard Trowa playing the flute when he woke briefly at four in the morning (it was currently 8:30 in the morning.) "Looks like we need to teach Trevor to be Heero by four or else the past two days would have been pointless."
So then the lessons of One-Tone Voice, Expressionless Face, and Heero Posture and Composure began. Duo really wanted to add a Death Glare course but received dark glares from Wufei and Trowa, and Quatre just remarked on the lack of time.
After seven hours straight of learning and practicing being Heero, Trevor was declared "good enough" by the four pilots. In reality, though, they were impressed. He had managed to accomplish another near impossible task better than expected. He hadn't slipped into 'Trevor' for a while now. His acting like Heero had started becoming a habit for him. He was sent out to his Gundam then because he needed to leave shortly to get there, hopefully, before Trieze and learn the lay of the land.
On his way to Wing Zero, though, Trevor was stopped by Relena. "I just... I just wanted to say... 'Good luck,'" she said quietly, not daring to look in his eyes.
"Thank you," Trevor replied, surprised.
Relena then looked up startled. "Don't go! Oh please DON'T go!" she cried out. Her eyes were starting to collect tears around the edges.
*Why is she-- She doesn't think I can do this.... She-she thinks I'm going to die.* Trevor thought touched (and slightly annoyed). "I have to, Relena," he said gently and wiped away a tear that trickled out of her eye with and equally gentle finger.
"No, NO you don't. I'm sure if we just tell Trieze, he'd understand. Then you wouldn't have to fight him He-Trevor," Relena said passionately.
She recovered well from her slight slip up, and quickly at that, but it wasn't enough. Trevor had caught it. He also came to a very quick conclusion. "I don't believe this! How could you?! How could you still care for that jerk? After the way he treats you? You were going to say 'Heero' weren't you? Weren't you?! You don't care about me! Just him. You're only worried about me because if I die, he dies!"
Then Trevor ran down the hall at full speed. His animosity towards Heero and his vexation for Relena gave him even greater speed which swiftly carried him out of hearing range of Relena's voice as it said, "I'm sorry. I just thought... you were my Heero again. You sounded... and acted just like him. Oh Trevor, don't go get yourself killed in your anger."
She stood there for a little bit, just watching where the figure had run off to, until the confused kitten at her feet started demanding attention. She bent over and picked him up, then went off in search of the other pilots.
Trevor waited, not patiently, for Trieze to arrive. He kept repeating quietly to himself the diplomatic speech Quatre made him memorize. All the pilots had stressed the importance of it. Personally, Trevor didn't understand how some system could make him go crazy, but they certainly didn't have time to teach him everything so he just went along with it. It was so important to them, though, that they had even disabled the system in the Gundam. Finally, after what had seemed like an eternity to Trevor, Wing Zero beeped at him, telling him that Trieze was approaching in Epyon.
Trevor activated the communications system just how Duo had shown him. Once he saw Trieze's face, Trevor concentrated himself entirely on acting--being--Heero and repeating Quatre's speech perfectly. "Trieze, I have one request for this duel of ours. Neither of us uses the Zero System in our Gundams. This duel should be a duel between out real abilities, not our enhanced abilities."
This threw Trieze off for a moment. This wasn't like the Heero he had met and studied. That Heero would have not cared whether they used the System or not. He did silently applaud the wording of the statement, though. It was set up so that if Trieze rejected it, which he didn't intend to, he would look like a coward whose only fighting abilities came from the Zero system. "Agreed." Trieze gave the command to Epyon to change and the battle began.
Back in the Gundam house, the four pilots plus Relena were gathered around a number of TV's. Wufei had managed to set up many cameras on the perimeter of the city that sent a direct visual feed-line to those TV's. The previous day Quatre, who had found them conveniently laying around the house, had decided that Wufei's extra energy could be put to good use in setting them up, since no one else was allowed to be at the dueling site. Both Trowa and Quatre were now sitting on the floor controlling the cameras as to zooming in and out and pivoting them for better camera shots. Duo was all set with remotes to turn off the TV's who lost the feed.
They watched anxiously as Trieze started his attack with Epyon's heat rod (that tail thing on the arm) and as Trevor nimbly maneuvered Wing Zero out of the way. After about two or three more such attacks, Trieze flew head on at Wing Zero who moved out of the way at the last second and fired the twin buster rifle to sever Epyon's heat rod. The heat rod went flying and knocked out camera's 12 and 13. The onlookers didn't care, though. Duo, Quatre, and (surprisingly) Relena, let out a cheer. Epyon only had his beam sword left to fight with.
As Epyon crouched into a fighting stance, Wing Zero put the rifle away and brought out his beam saber. "This should be interesting," Wufei commented quietly to himself. Unfortunately, the others gave him a concerned look after reluctantly drawing their eyes away from the battle. "There is no way possible for Trevor to master the sword in less than three days." He replied calmly in answer to their questioning eyes. Wufei returned his attention to the televisions and rooting the young man on silently. The others turned worried eyes back to focusing on the screens.
They saw Epyon slash at Wing Zero's mid-section which caused Wing Zero to step back and trip, roughly landing on top of a medium sized building. Trieze brought Epyon's arm back into a potentially final blow. That blow was blocked as the young boy had the powerful machine deflect it with an in-to-out block then brought the legs up to kick Epyon in the "stomach" and push him off and away.
The Gundams both took to the air. Trevor opened fire with the machine cannons. The Speed of Epyon carried it away from the bullets which ended up knocking out cameras 1 to 6. The red/black mobile suit came up behind the multi-colored one and brought the sword up in preparation for a backhanded attack. An attack blocked by the rising of the beam saber but the momentum of the assault caused the two to crash into the earth and skid into several buildings. The debris that went flying knocked out 9, 10, and 11. Only three cameras remained.
Wing Zero managed to throw Epyon off, who stepped back to regain his balance. Camera 14 was crushed. Wing Zero just stood there for a few moments, not taking the initiative to go on the offensive. It seemed as if all that knocking around was too much for poor Trevor. Trieze sent Epyon flying at Wing Zero as if he had lost all patients in the duel and just wanted it over. Wing Zero parried with remarkably speed and threw Epyon to the ground with a follow through move. Camera 8 was sat on and 7 was crushed by Epyon's right hand. "Now we just have to wait and see." Trowa said sitting back to lean on his hands. The kitten took this opportunity to try and strike up a game with him.
A few hours later, everyone's nerves were frazzled in the Gundam house. Several times a pilot would try to go off and see how it had turned out because "surely it must be over by NOW!" but the others always talked him out of it. Basically, all of them were acting like mother hens without a chick. Finally, everyone had had enough of waiting and started getting ready to head to the dueling site.
Meanwhile, at the dueling site, the duel had been declared a draw. Trieze had received a very urgent call about how Lady Une was suffering horribly from her case of split personalities and how he was needed to referee the match. The other pilot, having intercepted the message agreed to the decision for a temporary draw.
The previous hour and a half had been spent matching blow for blow with neither Gundam gaining the upper hand. Besides, the younger pilot was suffering visibly from a headache so painful that he could barely concentrate at all, let alone on defeating Trieze. Epyon left the site with its pilot thinking, *That boy certainly has changed since we last met. I studied his technique for months in preparation for this and then as soon--even before that actually... he acted differently. Then when I think I have that style figured out, he switches to the style I had studied. Just when I thought I had him figured out again, he threw me another curve. I never would have expected him to have let me go like that.* So that was how the confused Trieze left the destroyed city. Wing Zero stood there watching as Epyon left.
When the other pilots showed up, Wing Zero was STILL standing there. They exchanged worried expressions as they got out of Wufei's truck (he had gone to get gas for it on foot the previous day in an attempt to kill his energy and to help him carry the camera equipment to the dueling site). Trowa and Wufei climbed up Wing Zero and extracted their passed-out friend from the cockpit and brought him back to the ground. They placed him in the bed of the pickup truck. Quatre flew Wing Zero home and Trowa stayed in the back of the truck with the unconscious young man as Wufei drove them home.
Relena came running out of the house when they pulled into the driveway and directed Trowa in carrying the nearly-comatose pilot to his room.
A few hours later, the being on the bed stirred. "This is the last time I'm carrying you to your bed," Trowa said gruffly with an almost-smile on his face.
"What?" the voice from the bed said. It had a one-tone quality and, yet, it sounded confused.
"I carried you up yesterday and the day before that and again today. This is the last time."
"Trowa? No... that can't be Trowa. That's too many words for Trowa."
Trowa acknowledged the remark with a "Hmph." He went over to the intercom and announced, "He's up." A few moments later everyone came barging into the room, then the door was slammed behind them.
"Trevor!" Relena exclaimed as she ran over and hugged the boy on the bed tightly.
He quickly pushed Relena away and said, "Who's Trevor?"
"Tre- Trev... Trevor?" Relena stuttered then exclaimed, "Heero!"
"Yes. Who else would I be?"
"But-but-but-but- you're Trevor. When were you Heero again?" Duo asked puzzled.
"As far as it concerns you, I've always been Heero Yuy." He said giving a glare to Duo who just smiled, happy to see his friend back.
"But.. but you were going by Trevor just a few hours ago. Isn't Trevor your real name?" Quatre inquired.
"No."
That one word brought a silence that came across the entire room and loud yelling was heard on the other side of the door. Relena went over and opened the door, letting a black and white streak rushing into the room. Then the cat leapt onto the bed and was rubbing affectionately against Heero, and was purring loudly.
"What is this?" Heero said, holding the cat by the nape of its neck at an arms distance.
"It's your cat." Relena said, shocked at the disdain in Heero's eyes.
"I've never had a pet," Heero said as he dropped the cat on the bed. He stared at the cat as the feline stood, walked over to Heero's lap and crawled in, looking like the happiest critter on the Earth. "So, how did we get it?"
"You mean you don't remember?" Trowa asked, shock evident in his voice.
"No... should I?" Heero asked bluntly.
"Yeah," Quatre said, "Do you remember anything that happened these past three days since you were hit by the brick?"
He seemed kind of shocked about the fact he had no idea what Quatre was talking about... or that it had been three days... or maybe it was something else. It was hard enough to tell he was shocked with his emotionless mask on, let alone what he was shocked about. "I remember telling Relena I had accepted Trieze's challenge, pain in the back of my head, and then seeing Epyon flying at me and I was in Wing Zero."
"So you don't remember anything that happened?" Duo asked earnestly.
"NO. I don't. Why don't you just tell me doubt it instead of asking the same thing over and over again?" He said impatiently.
"Well... after you talked to me, you were hit on the head by a brick. When you came to you got angry with us for calling you Heero and insisted on being called Trevor Yuy." Relena started the story gently.
"We called in a doctor and he declared that you had amnesia and must have been called Trevor when you were six." Quatre added.
Then Wufei spoke up, "We would have seemed weak if we told Trieze that you weren't you so we trained Trevor on how to use the Gundam, fight in the Gundam against a Gundam and taught him about the mobile suits and Trieze. You saved that worthless flea-bag when you fought against Trowa."
"And you carried this notebook everywhere, once you got it." Duo finished the story by holding out the notebook filled with all the mobile suit information.
Heero took it, laid it down on the bed in front of him, and started flipping through the pages making a comment every so often about how he didn't know something and how he knew that something else was wrong. As he was turning the pages with his left hand, his right hand was absentmindedly petting the creature in his lap, who looked like the happiest animal in existence. Suddenly, as he read some comments written in the margin of a page, it was as if a light had gone on in his head and he could 'see' what had happened during the past three days or so. His head snapped up and he looked right at Duo and said, "Touching speech."
"YOU-You remember? You remember it?" Duo exclaimed.
Heero nodded then said, "Most of what happened, too." Then he looked down at the happy neko (I finally found the Japanese word for cat! YAY! :þ). "So did we ever come up with a name for him?"
"You five never really decided if you were going to keep him or not." Relena pointed out gently.
"We are keeping him." Heero said bluntly. Then added, "Quatre, Duo, and Trowa obviously want to keep him and that's three... four against one," when he saw the shocked looks on most of the faces.
Wufei was about to make a SERIOUS objection to this but when Heero gave him the ULTIMATE Death Glare (very, very rarely used!) he held his silence, even stifling the sneeze that was coming.
"Well, he's more yours than ours, Heero." Duo pointed out as the cat snuggled further into Heero's lap and started falling asleep there.
Heero paused to think for a little bit as he watched the purring kitten who seemed to be trying to vibrate Heero off the bed. "How about the name... Trevor, then?"
******************************************************************
I hope you all enjoyed the story. I had a friend of mine inform me of what Heero's real name is (which isn't Trevor but I can't remember it at the moment besides the fact that he's a junior) so... (to answer a popular question/comment) No, he's not related to the leader of the colonies. :(
I also know that that was a cheep way to end the duel but I couldn't very well have Heero beat Trieze or else you would have known it was Heero not Trevor and I just couldn't bare to have Trieze beat Heero, so I don't want any flames about that since you now know my reasoning, okay?
I also hope you all will keep me in mind in the future for when you want to find a fic to read-- I'm going to work on a Heero-Relena fic ::sweat drops because she has never EVER written that type of fic before:: which will be up when it's up and I might post a fic that's entered my mind about g-boy being in school before that... depending on how quickly each writes. You could call what comes out next.... or at least suggest it which might (or might not) influence that.
One last thing before I let you review WHICH YOU BETTER DO SINCE I DID A LOT OF WORK--ON THIS PART ESPECIALLY--AND I DON'T WANT IT TO HAVE GONE TO WASTE! FLAMES WILL ALSO BE ACCEPTED, BUT ONLY IF THEY ARE really CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM! And I love all you people who did review the other parts of this story-- you're the ones that made sure that this thing didn't take a month to come out!
A friend of mine (the same one who told me Heero's name) found a GW/DBZ crossover in which there was a special flower, an android Duo, Duo got killed and Relena and Heero got together.... If you happen to be able to find this fic (It's on this site somewhere (somewhere that I happen to not be able to FIND!)) please tell me where or at least who wrote it.
You can e-mail me at Axisor02@hotmail.com.
Send just about any ff.n stuff. I set up that account specifically for ff.n stuff. Ideas, suggestions, notices on when you are posting (I might read it (probably will when I get school under control) unless if I don't like it in which case I will notify you of it).
Thanx, Axisor :þ
