Basic Instinct, Part 16
Chapter 63
It was a common sight to see Ikia and Trowa together. In fact
they were unseperable. Quatre wasn't sure what he thought of it though.
"Its just that I don't know what to think. I mean, my best friend
and my sister, its just kind of weird," he admitted to Relena as they
sat talking.
"I think its great. They belong together, anyone can see that.
And look how much she was able to draw him out of his shell."
"I guess your right," he agreed. "Still, its weird."
"You'll get used to it Quatre," she replied. He gave a weak smile
and she felt her breath draw in. He was so cute when he smiled. She had
to silently admonish herself again. She was getting over Heero, but if
she made the moves on Quatre he would either get mad, or think she was
on the rebound.
"Hey Quatre, is something wrong," she asked, noticing his down
cast look. The smiles of his were becoming rare and few between. And
they didn't last long. Which was unusual.
"No, its nothing." He sighed, in his head he wanted Relena, he
wanted her to love him like he did her. But he didn't want to push her.
And it made him feel as if he were a cannon ready to explode. He'd given
up sleeping at night. He would always dream of her, and it just hurt
more in the morning knowing that he would never have her.
"Alright, you know you can always talk to me about anything," she
said silently.
Quatre smirked. "I wonder how she would take it if I told her
I loved her and I'm bursting to tell her," he thought to himself. Then,
aloud he replied, "ok, thanks Relena."
"No problem."
Suddenly the whole building shook. Instantly Quatre was on guard.
He lept to his feet and raced to the hangar. The rest were shortly behind
him.
"Rebel mobile suits are attacking the base," said Heero tersely.
He lept into his Gundam and the rest followed suit. All except Relena, she
hadn't had enough training to efficiently pilot a suit.
The nine gundams rose into the air and faced the enemy troops.
They were about to attack when Catherine called to them to stop. Switching
on her voice link she called out to the enemy suits.
"Identify yourselves," she called. The rest were confused. What
was she talking to the enemy for?
"We are the Guerrados," came a smug voice over the link. As
soon as she heard the voice, Catherine switched a button in her cockpit.
All of a sudden the enemy troops started to fall.
"Quick, destroy them," screamed Catherine over the intercom link
to the other Gundams.
All flew in and destroyed the Guerrados. Soon all that was left
of the troop was smoldering ash.
They flew back into the base silently and a sober air hung around
all. None of them liked killing. And they knew it wasn't the end.
Chapter 64
"So Catherine, I have a feeling you knew what happened out there
today, care to explain," asked a serious Duo.
"Its a virus I've been working on. It shuts down the power of
the enemy suits through the link. It doesn't affect our suits because
I placed a block on our link code. The reason you need to destroy them
so quickly is so they didn't figure out the code and create an antivirus."
"That's very impressive, when can you install it on the others,"
asked Lady Une.
"Tomorrow, for now I'm off to bed." Everyone nodded in agreement
and fell into their beds as soon as they were in sight. They were exhausted.
Chapter 65
The next morning everyone was in a grave mood. The killing hurt
them, possibly more. The breakfast conversation was zero. Duo didn't even
try to lighten the mood. There were no smiles, and no laughter, but an invisible
pain wafted through the air.
Wufei pushed away his food. He wasn't hungry. Standing up he went to his
office to look up any information on the Guerrados. He figured Heero
had most likely done so already, but he probably wasn't likely to share
anything with the rest of them.
Flipping on his laptop he punched in his access name. He cringed at the
automatic voice that welcomed him to the internet.
For a shot in the dark he pressed in a site name.
rct://glxcl.guerrados.con// (radi connective telcom. global link times colong link
.guerrados.connection//)
To his surprise a screen came up. He quickly flicked on his virus
guard in case they decided to send a little "surprise" though his link.
As the page loaded a faint beeping sound came from his speakers.
He turned it up a little and started to record it.
They were little beeps but the went so fast he couldn't determine if
it were morse code or not.
The page suddenly loaded some words.
"Welcome Gundams. Don't bother to try to decode the message.
You'll never figure itout."
The the page shut off by itself. Brabbing a small disk he copied
it and took off at a brisk pace for Lady Une's office.
Heero was already there.

Well another chapter out. Sorry about the wait. I just have
this really horrible case of writers block. Well, I'll have another out
as soon as possible. Thanks to those who have reviewed or are going to
review. Thanks for reading!
