Chapter 6
Releena and Heero had just sat down, when Releena was bombarded with questions. Wu Fei and Trowa talking about the base. While the girls and Duo were asking all about her's and Heero's relationship. "That's enough!" Heero shouted. "Releena go to bed." Heero said. "But I have to tell….." She began. "Now." He ordered. "Okay." Releena replied meekly. She then went upstairs to the guest bedroom. She had just about gotten to sleep when she recalled something the now dead Apolos had said right before she had entered the banquet room of the base. "If you try anything funny, the destroyers have orders to immediately launch all the missiles at all the other colonies besides the one we're on. So don't try anything stupid." That was what he had said. She had completely forgotten. Oh no, I could have already destroyed the colonies with my foolishness. I can't just lay here and do nothing. Releena got up quietly and went to her window. I can't risk the others. She thought. I don't want them hurt if I have to blow up the base. A second thought came to her, IF I can blow up the base. Opening the window she jumped out without making a sound. I have to destroy that base. She thought desperately.
Heero had decided to go to bed. Since the others had all retired earlier he saw no point in staying up himself. It was then it dawned on him that he would have to sleep in the same room with Releena. No problem Heero. He told himself. Releena won't mind. I hope. Going in as quietly as he could (which is practically silent) he looked at the bed. Where's Releena? After looking all around the room he noticed the window was open. Oh No. "Wake up everyone!" Heero yelled through the house. "What's the idea, Heero?" Duo asked in a grouchy tone. "Releena is missing." He stated. "Again!" Duo remarked. "Just how many times do we have to find her?" He asked everyone who had gathered in the living room.
Heero and the others figured Releena would probably head back to the base. Since the gundam pilots were extremely fast runners they found Releena near base entrance right after she got there. "Didn't we just rescue her from here?" Duo asked with sarcasm. "Duo, how long was that drop between the hole and the base?" Heero asked as he stopped for a breath of air. "Um…It was about 300 feet, why?" "Because Releena just jumped in it." Heero said, panic rising in his voice. "What!" Duo yelled. "Heero, I hope your girlfriend can land that!" Me too Duo. Heero thought silently.
Releena heard the others trying to catch up with her. Darn it! Why did they have to follow me? Well, at the very least I can try to see if the missiles have been launched. I wonder if I can deactivate the missiles if they haven't been launched? She saw the hole in the road made by wing zero. Running once again she jumped strait in the hole. Wow! I've got a long way down, but I know I can land it. She thought as she started recalling the training Milliardo had put her through just in case something like this ever did happen. Thank you dear brother. It was then she landed. She ran strait for the control room where she had first encountered Apolos. She spotted a guard about ten feet ahead. Being as quiet as possible she snuck up on the guard and hit him unconscious. Taking his gun and some small explosives from this pocket, she resumed her running.
Making it to the control room with minor difficulty, Releena looked around and saw only one guard. Very poor security. She thought with hopefulness. Knocking the guard out cold from behind, Releena went to the control panel. "Oh no! The missiles are set to launch in five minutes!" "I'm not a computer technician or a scientist. How am I supposed to stop this!? She thought in desperation. "You could ask us to help you." She turned around to see none other than five angry gundam pilots. "Um….hi, I'd love to stay here and watch you glare at me all day but I am currently trying to deactivate very large missiles about to launch at the colonies, with no idea what I'm doing!" She yelled the last part of her small speech. "What!" The pilots yelled out. Rushing to the console where Releena was they worked at the controls until there was about thirty seconds left. Dear God please don't let them die, they were the ones e fought for. Don't let it end this way. Releena prayed silently. Just as she was about to accept defeat the computer flashed and said "Mission Aborted". Releena let a small cry escape her lips. Then pushing her way to the front of the group she set the self-detonation device for the base top go off in ten minutes. When the screen revealed the command she had given the pilots gave a gasp. "We have to get out of here now." She said with a calm that she didn't know she had the moment. With that said she proceeded to the exit she had seen when she was being held captive. She heard the others running behind her again. She quickly shot the two guards standing guard by the door leading out. There go another two on my record. She thought with bitterness.
Releena and the gundam pilots made it back to the house before they a heard a very large KABOOM. There goes the base. Releena thought with satisfaction. "Okay Releena, spill." Heero ordered, his tone wavering between angry and worried. "Okay, It started when I was taking my walk…."
After the others heard her story they decided to go to sleep. I can't believe all that happened to Releena. Heero thought as he climbed into bed. Not saying a word he held Releena in his arms. And that was the first night in a long time either of them had a peaceful sleep.
