The other pilots looked in surprise, seeing that Trowa's bullets, even at that close a range, had little effect on the other gundam. "Trowa!" Jess shouted as she saw the Siberian about to attack. She pushed him out of the way and they both fell to the ground, narrowly missing the Siberian's claws. "Let's all get him." Quatre yelled. "He can't possibly take on 7 pilots." They all rushed to the other gundam. The Siberian smoothly drew his beam cannon and pointed it at Heavyarms and Serpentine. The other pilots froze. "One move and your friends get it." The Siberian's pilot said through the com link.
Jess thought for a second. Damn, why am I always bein targeted, she thought. While the Siberian was turned toward the other gundams, she quickly brought out her beam cannon and shot it. The Siberian heard the noise and quickly turned around. It dodged to the side and narrowly missed being hit by the full force of the beam. It took some damage since it could not fully dodge the close range beam. The Siberian flew up with one of its arms mangled because it had been hit by the cannon. The Siberian pointed its gun at the Jess and Trowa and shot. Heavyarms grabbed the Siberiana and rolled out of the way before the beam could hit them. Deathscythe Hell and Wing Zero were already on their way up to capture the Siberian. The Siberian started to fight them but apparently decided that with its arm all mangled he could not take on the two gundams. The Siberian was about to fly off but Wing Zero caught it and held one of its arms. Deathscythe moved to hold the other. They brought the Siberian down and pried open the hatch to the cockpit. Out came a young man who they all recognized except for Zechs. Colonel Citern, Jess's brother.
Jess's eyes widened at the sight. She opened her hatch and ran toward her brother. "Oniichan" she yelled. Citern's eyes widened at the sight of his little sister and realized, grimly, that he had almost killed her. Jess caught him up in a big bear hug. He awkwardly patted her head. The other pilots came out of their gundams warily with their guns out. "Jess get away from him." Zechs said, apparently not hearing that this man was her brother. "Who are you?" "I'm Colonel Citern of the Oz military." He replied stiffly, removing Jess's hands away from him. "Oz doesn't exist anymore. The only Oz there is right now is a group of people who want to resurrect it." The colonel's clenched his hands in anger at these words. "Jess. Come with me. Father and everyone will forgive you. We'll get away from here and we'll make an ideal world." Citern said to his sister. "Get away from her." Heero said coldly. "Why? She's my sister." He replied. "No she's my sister." Heero said back. "Huh?" Citern said surprised. "He's my mom's son. He's my half brother, like you are." Jess explained softly. "You aren't taking my only family." Heero said. "And why should I let u have my little sister." Citern retorted. "She's my only family other than my dad." Heero's eyes went flat and his finger looked like it was itching to pull the trigger on his gun. Jess's eyes widened as she registered that all the pilots had their guns out. "PUT THOSE GUNS DOWN. NOW!" she yelled. The pilots looked surprised and their hands wavered. Citern took this time to grab Jess into a headlock and pulled out a gun.
"Oniichan?" she asked suddenly frightened at her brother's cold eyes. His eyes softened slightly and he whispered to her "Gomen, but I can't fail OZ." His eyes once again hardened in resolve and stared resolutely at the pilots. Kuso, everyone thought. "I'm taking her with me." Citern said as he walked to his gundam calmly. "No." came Heero's adamant reply. He pointed his gun and before anyone could stop him he pulled the trigger. Citern sagged as the bullet entered his shoulder, causing him to let Jess go. Quatre who was closest to the two ran and grabbed Jess out of the man's reach so she wouldn't be taken hostage again. "Bastard. Taking your own sister as a hostage." Duo yelled angrily.
Behind them, one of the Oz mobile suits that they had fought before, moved. The soldier in there weakly got up and for a second swayed. The pilots turned around and saw a suit charging at them. Citern took this time to run to his suit and get in. "Hey come back." Duo yelled seeing him. Citern ignored him and piloted his gundam into the sky and flew away. Duo's attention turned back toward the mobile suit that was coming closer and closer. The pilots ran out of the way but suddenly the suit fell forward. They turned and saw Hilde in a Taurus that had just shot the suit down. Hilde brought her suit over to them and got out. "How did you like my target practice?" she asked as she grinned. "Nice. Babe" Duo said putting his arm around her shoulders. "Where's Quatre and Jess?" she asked curiously. They looked around and saw two figures walking towards them, one heavily leaning on the other. Quatre came up to them with his leg at an awkward angle and bloodied with blood also streaming off his face. Jess seemed to only have a minor head injury though her shirt sleeve was red with blood. "What happened?" asked Hilde worriedly. Jess grimaced and winced in pain as she moved her arm to hand Quatre to the other boys.
"We were running but I tripped and the arm of the mobile suit fell on us. Quatre got the worst of it because he got on top of me to block the full force of it." Trowa and Heero suddenly felt anger at the thought of someone on top of Jess but then worry took over the anger. Wufei and Duo supported Quatre back to the house while Trowa and Heero helped Jess or more like carried her.
"O my god, Quatre!" cried Dorothy when she saw him being led up to the house. She ran out and tried to assist the other pilots. Relena ran into the house to get the first aid kit and some cloths to wipe up the blood. She came back out and handed them to Sally who was checking over Quatre. "Jess! What happened to you?" she cried in surprise as she saw Jess coming over to them, supported by Trowa and Heero. Jess's eyes were red and puffy as if she had been crying. "What did you guys do?!" Relena yelled in outrage. She pushed both boys out of the way and maneuvered Jess over to Sally. "You too?" Sally asked, raising her eyebrow. "Quatre saved me. That's why he's worse off than me." She replied looking down. "Ok ok" Sally said as she finished bandaging Quatre up. "Now let's take a look at you." She said as she took in Jess's battered form. She ripped Jess's sleeve off and looked at the wound. There was a deep cut and also it looked like she had dislocated her shoulder. Jess winced as Sally popped it back into place. Sally cleaned up the bleeding cut and bandaged it. She also cleaned up the cut on her head. "That should do it." She announced as she finished and snapped her kit shut.
The group went back into the house that surprisingly had no damage. Each went to their own rooms to take a shower and all that stuff since they were dirty from the day's battle. The girls surprisingly had on almost the same thing when they gathered for dinner later. They were all wearing sweatpants and baggy T-shirts since it was really cold because it was winter. The guys just had what they usually wore on. They sat down at the huge dining table for a scrump-li-ump-tious dinner. (I juss made up a new word) The cook had whipped up roast turkey and mashed potatoes and stuffing. They also had for roast beef and steak and and lots of other stuff for their main course. (I can't think of anymore food because it making me hungry and I in school so…) They were all too full to eat desert, except for Duo who scarfed down the chocolate cake that was for everyone and then Hilde smacked him upside the head because he was such a pig.
Later, everyone begged Zechs to rent them a video and he grumbling replied because he didn't feel like driving out in the cold. Noin went with him. They came back soon with a scary movie. The girls each got a blanket and snuggled up with their boys. Jess, seeing that Trowa had no blanket, since Catherine had invited her new boyfriend over and was with him, went over and offered to share it with him. He nodded and moved over so she could sit next to him. She hesitantly laid her head on his shoulder and looked at him. He seemed to like it. She relaxed and watched the movie. Heero kept glaring at the two and decided to have a little talk with Trowa later. Relena followed Heero's eyes over to the two and a devious little plan formed in her head.
The movie continued to play and it reached its climax. The killer was just about to kill the victim and at the exact moment he killed the other guy, lightning cracked because there was a storm outside. The girls all screamed and clutched their boys. Jess blushed and let go of Trowa. The movie continued and by the end Jess was fast asleep. Trowa picked her up and wrapped the blanket around her to keep her warm. The other pilots and girls were also going to their rooms to get some sleep. As Trowa passed Heero he caught one of Heero's famous death glares. Trowa frowned a bit but proceeded to bring Jess up to her room. He tucked her in and made sure that she was warm then he left and went back to his room. Unknown to Trowa, Heero was watching his every movement from the shadows.
Relena lay awake in bed but couldn't get to sleep. She snuck into the other girls' room and woke them up for an emergency meeting. They all met in Relena's room. "What are u doing Relena? It's like 4 in the morning." Hilde said groggily while rubbing her eyes. "What did the boys do now?" whispered Sally also tired. "O nothing. I know we only have meetings to get back at them for something but this is special." Relena said with a glimmer of mischief in her eyes that was masked by the blackness of the night. "What is it?" asked the girls now curious. "What about we set up Jess with Trowa?" she said with a twinkle in her eye. "WHAT?" the girls yelled but suddenly hushed. "You're crazy. There's no way that either of them would go for this." Hilde whispered. "But Trowa's the only one of the pilots who duzn't have a grlfriend and" she said grinning, "they looked pretty cozy tonight in that blanket." The other girls looked at each other. Then Hilde faintly remembered seeing them. "You're right. Maybe this will work." She said. Catherine looked a bit doubtful but said, "I think it's a long shot I mean my brother has never really been one for going out with people but I think it's a good idea for him to get a girlfriend, especially Jess, she's a very good person." "Then that's it. You guys can go back to sleep now and we'll plan this tomorrow." Relena instructed. The other girls turned and left. Relena fell back onto her bed wearily, plans going through her mind and then she finally drifted off to sleep.
