Author's note: This chapter will be a little
longer than the other 2 chapters. I have been waiting to write this chapter
it's going to have action. This is going to bee fun. So sit back and read.
:o)
As Heero went through there school profiles again, he found Alex, Siri and Jo's profiles.
" Found them," Heero said plainly.
" Their profiles are like any other person in this school," Quatre said scanning the computer screen, looking at the three girl's profiles.
" But that can't be, if any person can beat Heero at fencing they have to be abnormal!!!" Duo said opposing Quatre's remark.
" Let's get out of this room. Seeing all this weird stuff in one day can make a guy pretty dizzy," Duo went out of the room.
" Does any want to go horse back riding or somethin'?," Duo asked before closing the door.
" Sure. Heero let's just give up on this. We need to focus on the kidnapping of Relena. I think that we can clear our heads if we all go out for a ride,kay?" Quatre said placing his hand on Heero's shoulder. Heero got up from the computer chair and walked to the door.
" Ok, so it's settled we are going to go horse riding," Duo said striding cheerfully towards the stables.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" So what do we do now. Relena is still missing, and plus we need to get some information about Wolfclaw,' Siri said taking the horse out of the stable. Alex, Jo and Siri decided to go horse back riding and discuss their mission. They were in stable getting their horses ready.
" Well, I'll try to some hacking today. But there is something I don't understand. Wouldn't they have to have a base close to the school to actually know where Relena would be everyday. And they obviously knew where she was when they kidnapped her. She was in that meeting still giving lectures about peace, and then after that no one knew where she went. And..", Alex was cut off by Jo who slid her hand across her throat.
" Stop talking about the mission we have some visitors," Jo said in a hoarse whisper and pointed to where Duo was walking with a sickening grin on his face, and Quatre walking at the same pace as Heero. Alex, Siri and Jo mounted their horses and quickly exited the stable.
" Hey wasn't that Alex, Jo and Siri who just went out the stable the other way?" Quatre said pointing his index finger to where he last saw the three girls. As Heero, Duo and Quatre went to see where Alex, Siri, and Jo. When they got to the other side of the stable, they saw that the three mysterious girls were practically racing on the horses.
" Wow, look at them go!" Duo exclaimed watching how fast they were going. " Let's get on some horses and go for a ride. It looks like so much fun," Duo continued talking taking his eyes off the girls and placing them on Heero and Quatre.
" Ok, then what are we waiting for?" Quatre asked looking around for a suitable horse to ride. When Heero, Duo and Quatre were on a horse they went outside. As they went outside they noticed that the girls weren't any where to be seen.
" Hey where did they go. I swear they were here a minute ago," Duo said with surprise in his voice.
" Who knows and anyway why are you concerned with them, remember Duo we have to find Relena Peacecraft first and then we can worry about other things. We need to know who kidnapped her and why," Quatre said leading his horse on the opposite direction Duo was at. Heero was just on his horse thinking things over. He said nothing when Duo and Quatre were talking. It almost seemed as if Heero wasn't there. All he could think of was Relena. I will find you, Relena. Heero said in his mind.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" So where are we going," Alex screamed Jo who was faster than Siri and herself. They were behind the school in the forest near it.
" There is this vacant building somewhere close here. I was on my laptop and then I pulled up a map of the surrounding areas of the school. I found that there is a empty building just north of here, so I decided it would be a goood spot for a secret organization to hide out. Plus they would be very close to the school so they would have access to information about Relena's schedule. That is my hypothesis on how they knew when to kidnap Relena," Jo finished saying.
" Good work Shelock, mind telling us stuff before time, you know, " Alex said to Jo with a sarcastic look on her face.
" Sorry but I wasn't so sure so I kept it to myself, and besides I think I may be right," Jo said slowing her horse down. They all came to a halt. They were hidden in bushes. As they crept quietly closer to the building they noticed lots of trucks heading in and out of the building.
" You said this was a empty building, Jo. Then why are all these trucks and transportation vans here," Siri asked pointing to the vehicles that were by the building.
" Well, that's what the map I read on my computer said. It said that this was a building that had been abandoned for over five years," Jo said scratching her head with confusion.
" You guys thinking what I'm thinking?," Alex said with a smirk on her face.
" Let's see, first you're thinking that we come back tonight then we came sneak into the building. Check the mysterious building out. Hack into the computers and attain some confidential information. Then sneak back out and check the information out when we get back on school grounds. Am I right, Alex?" Siri said looking at Alex with a smile plastered on her face.
" EXACTLY!!!" Alex exclaimed with her hands waving in the air as if Siri had just won a million dollars.
" How'd I ever guess? Alex all you like to do is infiltrate the enemy's base. Even in training at Dr. J's lab ever time we did that training session practicing our skills on how to get in and out with the enemy knowing, you pratically thought of it as a game. Geesh," Siri said rolling her eyes at the same time.
" Hey stop talking, you guys. Just now those guards over there are going to here you, and then we will have to run and we won't get the chance to get inside that building," Jo said placing her index finger over her mouth. They all silently got back on their horses and they raced each other back into the school grounds. In the end it turned out that Siri had won. That left Alex a bit jealous.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Courtney was practicing her moves in the big tent. She finally decided to call it a day, since she had to meet Catherine in about half an hour. She decided to go and visit the animals at the back of the big top. When she got there the tiger, lion, bear and the other animals were pacing in the cage.
" Hey guys, why are you walking like that. You are kinda making me nervous," Courtney said as she stuck her hand inside the tiger's cage. The tiger nestled against her hand. Courtney decided to stay awhile. So she sunk to the ground on her knees and rested her head against the bars of the cage.
As Trowa rounded the corner, he caught sight of Courtney. Trowa just stood there watching her calm down the tiger. Even earlier that day, Trowa had noticed that the animals were very restless. BUt now when Courtney was with them they all laid their heads near the opening of their cages and looked intently at Courtney.
" Wonder who she is?" Trowa questioned himself quietly.
Courtney knew that there was someone watching her. It was that feeling that you would always get when someone had their eyes on you. But Courtney didn't care. She felt at peace whenever she was byherself and an animal. Even when she was small she loved animals. Courtney decided that she had better get going, or else she was going to be late. She got up and carefully removed her hand away from the tigers head, then she gathered her stuff and headed for her caravan.
When Trowa saw Courtney leave he slowly walked towards the animals. He slowly scanned all af the cages and discovered that all of them had gone into a peaceful slumber. He smiled a little. But then he went back to his own caravan that he and Catherine shared.
When Courtney reached her caravan she quickly changed into baby blue track pants and a white t-shirt with no sleeves. She quickly tied her dirty-brown hair into a loose bun and headed out with her handy cell phone in her pocket.
She was to meet Catherine at her caravan. So she walked over to Catherine's caravan and knocked lightly on the door. When the door opened it happened to be Trowa who answered it.
" Uh, hi Trowa is your sister ready? We are suppose to go out for coffee or something," Courtney said with a pleasant grin on her face. Before Trowa could answer Courtney's question, Courtney heard Catherine's voice.
" Hi Courtney, I'll just be a minute. Come in and have a seat, I'll be out in a sec," Catherine said as she went back into her room. As Catherine had gone, Trowa side stepped to let Courtney come in.
" Thanks," Courtney said simply. She then seated herself on the sofa. Then Trowa went about doing what he was orginally doing. Courtney waited for about five minutes until Catherine came out.
" Sorry to keep you waiting. Gomen Nasai," Catherine said.
"It's okay. Doo Itashimashite. Let's go now, you ready?" Courtney asked. Catherine answered with a simple nod and then went to the door. The only walked a couple of blocks since the Coffee Shop was near by. As the entered the small building the grabbed a seat near the the corner of the cafe. When they got seated a lady came up to them and asked for their order.
" I'll have a double cafe latte and what would you like Courtney?" Catherine asked.
" Oh, I'll just have a hot chocolate," Courtney answered as the lady went back to the counter to put their orders in.
" So Courtney where were you born?" Catherine asked looking into Courtney's eyes.
" Well, you see this is the funny thing I don't rememeber much of my past, but I do know that whole my family died in an attack from Oz, a long time ago. And then I was in an orphanage as long as I could remember. Then when I was old enough to get a job, I found out that I really liked spending time with animals and plus I loved to do all those swings in the air. Kinda like gymnastics. I had a natural ability in gymnastics. I'm not even sure. Although I do have a faint memory of when I was still quite young when I was on Earth. I think I was born on Earth but I'm not so sure," Courtney said as she looked out the window. Why did I tell her all that. It was all true except for the part about the orphanage. After I can remember my family being destroyed I can recall being picked up by Dr.J and those other doctors. But that is about all remember about my past. But that is no reason for me to tell Catherine about my past. What's wrong with me, I'm being sentimental.
" I am so sorry Courtney," Catherine said as she placed her hand over Courtney. Courtney quickly withdrew her hand, it was just a reflex of hers. She had never been touched like that by anybody.
" It's okay," Courtney said with a sad tone in her voice. As she had said that the waitress came with their drinks. Then all of a sudden Courtney and Catherine's drinks started to shake.

"Sally, what are those things going towards colony L3?" Mui Lynn asked Sally.
" This is the first, they look like mobile dolls, but they are moving to fast to be regular mobile dolls!" Sally exclaimed straining her eyes to see if what she was seeing was real. At Sally's words Wufei came over to look over Mui Lynn's shoulder.
" Yeah they do look like mobile dolls. They must be from that group or organization that kidnapped Relena Peacecraft!!" Wufei realized. He must be right, all the mobile suits were destroyed after the war. Mui Lynn thought to herself.
" That army of mobile suits are heading straight for colony L3, " Sally pointed out. I had better go help Courtney, according to this radar there must be about 500 mobile suits heading for the colonies. I'll have to make up a story so I can help Courtney. Next time I'll have to make up a list with excuses I can use.
" How could they keep that many mobile suits intact. It's unbelievable," Sally said loking amazed.
" It's not what we have to worry about right now. Let's go see if we can try to divert the enemy's attention to this ship, to leave the colony unharmed!" Mui Lynn shouted as she perpeared the only weapons they had on the ship.
" I have to check something in the hangar!" Mui Lynn shouted as she ran down to the hangar on her left. When she got there she pulled out a device from her pocket. She quickly pushed a button the right of the device. The the device read " Gundam X5 has been activated" This mean't that when Mui Lynn pushed the button, her Gundam would come from wherever it was hidden to where the control was located. So in Mui Lynn's case her Gundam would meet her in outer space. Courtney quickly put on a space suit that looked simliar to the ones that the ex-Gundam pilots wore in their battle against Whitefang. She opened the hangar door and found that her Gundam was already waiting for her to get into it. She climbed into the cockpit and strapped herself in. Then she activated the controls with a few buttons and she was ready to go.
Gundam X5 looked very similar to Gundam Shenlong but it had scorpion heads for arms as it use to have dragons. It still had the double sided trident but it was equipped with two two of them. Also she had a fiber-optic cloak that could turn her invisible from the nemy. All the new Gundams had these kind of cloaks. The when she checked that everything was in fine she set off to the colony L3.
" Hey what's that there?" Wufei asked as he saw Mui Lynn's Gundam on the radar, but he didn't know that it was a Gundam. As he pulled up a visual on his screen he saw that it looked like his Gundam.
" Nataku?" Wufei questioned himself.
" What the heck is that?" Sally asked Wufei. " It looks like your gundam Wufei," Sally carried on as she pointed to the gundam as it flew through outer space towards the colony L3.
" I know," Wufei said still keeping his eyes on the gundam.
" I just hope it's on our side, I'll try to contact the pilot," Sally said pressing a few buttons trying to make contact with the pilot in the other gundam. " Can't get through to the pilot," Sally said with a sigh.
Mui Lynn had purposely cut off comunication between her gundam and any other space ship or carrier. She didn't want anyone to know who she was. So she had to just flick a button and communication to her Gundam was cut off.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~**~*~*~*
Courtney looked up and saw that part the ceiling beam was about to fall right on top of Catherine. As she realized that Catherine was too frighten to move, Courtney quickly pushed the table over and jumped onto Catherine. This sent both of them flying in the air. Even though Courtney had pushed Catherine out of harm's way, the beam fell right on top of her.
When the ground stopped shaking, Catherine hurried over to see what had happened to Courtney. As she tried to get the beam off of Courtney.
" COURTNEY! Are you okay?" Catherine screamed as she had no success in moving the beam. Then there was movement from under the beam. It was Courtney who had managed to get the beam off of herself. Courtney had a bleeding lip and a huge gash on her left arm. She was covered in a some debree.
" Catherine you okay?" Courtney managed to say.
" I should be the one asking you. You saved my
life, and I am still trying to figure out who you could have survived that
thing on you," Catherine said as she pointed to the beam where Courtney
had pushed it.
" Ah, don't worry about me. I just have to check something out. Go back to the circus and make sure everyone gets to a safer place, and make sure the animals are safe," Courtney said as she sprinted towards the forest that was behind the circus.
" Okay, but where are you going? Courtney!" Catherine said as she outstretched her hand to where Courtney was running off to. But Courtney was too far away to hear Catherine.
Then when Courtney was in the forest she saw new mobile suits landing on the colony.
"Kuso!" Courtney swore. What is Wolfclaw thinking there are too many innocent people on this colony. Courtney thought as climbed into Gundam X3. Gundam X3 had a fiber optic cloak. It had two main guns like Heavyarms had. But the bullets in this Gundam were laser bullets and so the pilot could go on and on showering the battlefield with these bullets. Plus the bullets caused double the amount of damage that they use to.
She got out her cell phone and directly phoned Mui Lynn.
Mui Lynn was almost near the entrance to colony L3 when she heard something ringing.
" Hello, Courtney?" Mui Lynn asked who it was. It could only be one of the new five gundam pilots. So she figured that it was Courtney who was calling.
" Yeah hi, did you know that there were mobile suits on this colony, and they are not fooling around. They just opened fire on us a moment ago and I think I kinda broke my arm trying to save Catherine. Shimatta! Why did I save her?" Courtney questioned herself.
" No time to answer that now, just concentrate on getting the enemy to aim for you not the colony," Mui Lunn replied.
" That will be easier said than done," Courtney said hanging up on her cell phone. Courtney flew towrds the cluster of mobile suits. " Come and get me!" Courtney shouted as she she shot out the bullets from the two gundams arms. The mobile suits directed their attention towards Courtney. Courtney continued to fight the mobile suits using her weaponry. Then something caught her Courtney's eye. She could see the manager of the circus struggling to get the animals out of harm's way. Courtney decided to shield the circus staff while they hurried and tried to evacuate out of the area. She stood right infront of the animals making sure if the enemy did try to shoot her, that they would hit her and not the people below.
As Trowa was checking on the animals, he saw what looked like Heayarms.
" Heavyarms?? That can't be," Trowa said staring at the giant suit. Courtney turned around and saw that Trowa was watching her. They stared at each other for like 5 seconds then Trowa realized that there was a huge missile heading towards the Gundam.
" Watch out!" he screamed. Courtney saw what was
coming but found out that it was too late to move. The missile took a direct
hit onto the gundam.
