This is going to be the last part in this but I'm thinking of making a sequel. Standard disclaimers apply. Read on…..
"Jess!" gasped the pilots and the colonel who had now lost his mask of indifference. "What are you doing here?" asked all of them simultaneously. They were all surprised but also angry. O boy this really sucks, thought Jess. She held her mask in one hand and then smashed it into the floor. It shattered into dozens of pieces. "Hey Oniichan can you leave us alone for awhile." She asked. "Sure" he replied a little dazed at seeing his little sister at the base. He walked to the door, "I have some things to I have to attend to pertaining with the mistreatment of soldiers, particularly, I need to talk with Fanel." He said over his shoulder with a cold smile on his face and anger in his eyes. Jess grinned. "Thanks Oniichan" but he was already out the door.
As soon as the colonel left Heero grabbed Jess by her collar and shoved her into the wall. "Were you betraying us to Oz? Is that why you became friends with us?" he shaked her angrily. Each shake jarring her newly closed wounds and causing them to re-open. Trowa and the others moved forward to stop him. Heero fought against them and continued to slam her into the wall. Jess winced in pain. Finally the pilots were able to release Jess from his grasp and were talking severely to him about how Jess/Kate had saved them and tried to help them and that he shouldn't doubt her. Although the other pilots were saying this, they had an uncertain look in their eyes. Trowa moved over to help Jess off the gound and helped her onto the couch in the middle of the room. After Heero had calmed down a bit the rest of the pilots moved over to talk to Jess.
They all sat on the couch and looked at her warily. Jess raised her arms in surreneder "Ok ok I'll explain everything to you." "You better, you weak onna" muttered Wufei who had seemed to have lost any respect, if any, that he had had for her before. "See, I am General Citern's daughter Jess Citern, as you all know. I graduated top in my class at a secret Oz training school that my dad had sent me to and even surpassed my brother who was also enrolled there. I was so far ahead of everyone that I was allowed to go there only part time instead of living there. The day I met you guys was the first day of regular school for me. Those dudes were beating me up because I saw them picking on a 6th grader and got in their way." The pilots acknowledged this information by nodding their heads. Jess took a deep breath and continued, "I really wasn't using you guys, actually I didn't even tell my father or anyone that you went to my school. I really actually liked you guys and I never totally agreed with Oz's way. I agree with Relena's idea for peace." "Then why did you lie to us." Duo burst out. "I didn't really lie to you I just didn't tell you who I really was. I knew that if you guys knew who I was you wouldn't want to be my friend and you guys were like my only friend." She replied softly. "What are you talking about Jess," asked Quatre, "you're one of the most popular girls in school and you have all those friends at school. Jess laughed bitterly, "Friends, they only liked me because I was popular but you guys helped me when I was nothing. I doubt that those people would still talk to me if I became ugly and quit everything." The gundam pilots looked at each other. They hadn't even thought Jess was lonely at school since she was always surrounded by a group of wannabes. "Well I graduated from the training school last year," she continued "and then you guys came to my house and started to cause trouble and on top of that you got caught. I couldn't believe how reckless you were Heero, letting those untrained soldiers shoot you and I also can't believe that even after I saved you that time, that you still kept me as hostage and wouldn't let me go anywhere!" she said. "You saved them?" asked Quatre, Duo, and Wufei. They took a glance at the other two pilots who were looking very ashamed. "Uh yeah sorta" mumbled Heero. "Well and you guys know the rest of the story." Ended Jess.
"So what exactly is your rank in Oz?" asked Duo trying to lighten up the mood. "I'm a captain. I would be a colonel by now but since I was going to two schools I kind of had a lot of work and didn't have enough time to prove myself ready for the rank." She replied. "A captain at your age?!! You're only 15" exclaimed Quatre. Jess smiled smugly, "Shows you that I'm not that weak of a woman, huh Wufei." Wufei mumbled something like -I guess, but I don't believe it- but no one quite understood him. "Anyways do you guys trust me?" The gundam pilots nodded but looked doubtful. "Fine, after this I won't see you guys again or anything so just trust me this once. I have a plan to get you out of here." The pilots looked at her in surprise. "Why won't you see us?" asked Duo curiously. Jess looked off-guard but then regained her composure, "I-I won't be seeing you be-because you probably don't want to see me again after this so I'll stay out of your way." Jess started telling them her plan before anymore questions came up.
"Alright, we'll all go out and I'll lead you to the mobile suit room and you each take your gundam and then leave." "What if they try to shoot us down?" asked Trowa. "I've already taken care of that." Jess said smugly. They crept out of the room and followed Jess to the mobile suit room.
As they were rounding a corner everything turned pitch black. There were shouts of panic and a voice echoed through the base "Base will self-destruct in 10 minutes." The pilots looked at Jess. "What the hell did you do?" asked Heero. "I put a virus in their computer and when it eats through their whole mainframe it would activate their self-destruct mechanism." She said smiling. The pilots and Jess rushed to the mobile suit room and found her brother with a few soldiers waiting there, though the soldiers looked very frightened. Just as I suspected, thought Jess, he's way to smart for his own good.
"Hi oniichan" she said brightly. "Don't give me that crap Jess, undo what you did to our computer." He replied tiredly. "Sorry but it was a virus and nothing can stop it now." She replied. "I'm sorry then but the pilots have to stay here then and self-destruct with the base." He pointed his gun at the nearest pilot who happened to be Wufei and his subordinates followed him, aiming their guns at the other pilots. "Jess get out of here." He barked sharply, "take a mobile suit and get as far away as possible. "5 minutes." Came a computer-like voice echoing through the base. "No, gomen oniichan but I can't do that." She replied softly. "WHAT!" came his outraged reply. Calmly, Jess pulled out a gun and held it to her head. "Let them go or I kill myself." She said calmly. "Jess" cried the pilots. "Go get a mobile suit and get out of here" she said, "Don't try to interfere with me or I'll shoot." Her brother's arm was shaking and his finger tightened on the trigger. "Don't do it oniichan, unless you want to lose me too." Jess said. He looked as if he was being torn in half, on one side was his loyalty to Oz and on the other was his love for his sister, though she was only his half sister, she still ment everything to him. With a wild cry he wheeled around and shot one of his men. The rest looked at him in surprise and fear and he shot each of them. "Go." He said brokenly "But now you are not my sister and you do not belong to Oz. I never want to see you again and I be father will feel the same way. You have disgraced our name."
"30 seconds" came the computer's voice. The pilots and Jess rushed to their suits. "10 seconds- 9 seconds – 8 seconds – 7 seconds – 6 seconds – 5 seconds." The pilots rushed to get in and grabbed the controls of their suits – 2 seconds- 1 seconds. The pilots took off and expected to be roasted by the heat that was to come from the explosion, but nothing happened. They looked down at the base beneath them seeing it all in one piece. Suddenly they heard Jess's voice, magnified by the computer, laughing "Oniichan no baka. Did you really think I would blow up your precious base?" the pilots in the air and her brother in the base looked up at the mobile suit she was in but Jess was already speeding off into the horizon.
The pilots returned to their base and put their gundams in the hangar. They were surprised to see an Oz suit already there and curiously went into their living room where they were surprised to see Jess sitting on the couch watching tv. "Hi guys, how are you doing?" she said laughing at a comedy on tv. The pilots sweatdropped, while Trowa went forward and grabbed Jess's shoulders. "Don't you ever threaten to shoot yourself again!" he shouted angrily. Jess looked a bit frightened and his gaze softened a little. "What I meant is don't act like Heero." He said, and Jess started to laugh, while Heero was giving them his famous death glare. Heero disappeared into his room and shut the door. "I wonder what his problem is?" said Duo, "It was only a joke." In Heero's room, unknown to the others, he was talking to Dr. J. "Dr. J, I think I found a sixth pilot for your new gundam." "Really Heero? Well if you recommend this person he must be good." Dr. J said. "Not a he, a she" Heero replied and cut off the communication as Quatre opened his door. "Heero, we're going out for dinner want to come?" Heero nooded and Quatre shut left and shut the door behind him. Unable to control himself Heero's lips gave a little twitch upward in a smile.
So what do u think? Should I make a sequel? I think I am, I already have the idea for the plot and I'm going to call it "the sixth pilot" but I also want to know what u readers think. So this was the last part of this fic I hope you enjoyed reading it. Please r+r
