Basic Instinct, Part 21
RECAP:
"And what are you going to do," he asked. She smiled and cocked
her gun.
"I'm going to sign this peace treaty," she said and whipped the
gun to his forehead.
Then she pulled the trigger.

Chapter 76
The Minister fainted right on the spot. Relena smirked and put
the gun back in its hidden holster.
"I owe Heero for that trick," she said in a rough voice. She had
known from the beginnig she wasn't going to kill him. But that didn't
mean he had to know that. She had been there when Heero had did the same
to Marie Maia during the Eve Wars, call it an inspiration of sorts.
Turning serious she opened the radio link to Quatre, "Quatre, I
have everything completed, the shuttle is secure." She frowned as all
she got was a buzz in answer.
"Quatre, hello Quatre? This is Relena, are you there," her face
turning worried she reopened the link with Sally.
"Sally, have you seen Quatre? He won't answer his link." Moments
later Sally's voice crackled onto the link.
"No, I haven't seen him since we started fighting. How are things
up there?"
"Everything here is fine, I have the foreign minister under
custody. Sally, I'm worried about Quatre."
"We'll find him Relena, maybe his links just broke."
"Ok, I'll meet you on the ground at Preventer Headquarters. This
is Preventer Peace, out." She switched off her link and went to the
control room to land the plane.
Chapter 77
"Heero," sobbed Catherine from her chair in the hangar. Trowa
had helped her out of her mobile suit and as soon as she was secure on
the ground she had begun wailing again.
Fortunately Relena didn't have time to be upset over the secret
relationship at the moment. She was too busy searching for Quatre.
"Preventer Stat is not here, I want you all to search for him.
And check the rubble of Wing Zero," ordered Lady Une. The others hurried
to comply.
Flying over the battleground it was hard to determine anything.
But out of the corner of her eye, Relena spotted one of Sandrock's arms.
"Someone quick, over here," she yelled desperately. Sally and
Wufei dropped what they were doing to come help. Using their suits they
managed to get the debris off of Sandrock. Relena landed her Gundam and
rushed to the cockpit opening.
Prying the door open she yelled for Quatre.
"Quatre, are you alright," she asked desperately. But
she didn't get an answer. Climbing inside she was abhorred at the sight
before her. Quatre was covered in his own blood, but he was conscience.
But his eyes, they were horrifying. There was nothing in them.
Like he had been frightened and never quite came back from the nightmare.
They were wide, the color all gone, and so empty.
"Oh god Quatre," cried Relena. She felt something tug on her
heart, but she was too busy to notice. She pulled him to her and felt
the tears run down her face.
"Relena, is he ok," yelled Wufei from outside the Gundam. When
he and Sally didn't get an answer he climbed in after her. Looking at
the sight he called to Sally. "Get in here quick."
Chapter 78
Duo, Hilde, Ikia, and Trowa circled around looking for Wing Zero.
They had heard that Quatre had been found. Finally Trowa found what
was left of Wing Zero.
He landed his Gundam and instructed the others on how to remove
the debris from Wing Zero. It was a delicate process. If Heero was under
there they didn't want to mangle his body even more.
Finally they got to the hatch of Zero. Duo landed and assisted
Trowa in pulling the hatch off. Finally after a monumental effort they
pried the twisted and fried metal away.
At first they didn't see anything, it was completely dark. Duo
placed his hand and then quickly removed it when he felt something warm
and sticky. Pulling his hand into the light he was abhorred to find it
was covered in blood.
"No," he whispered, gulping at the lump in his throat he could
only pray that his friend was alright. He took a light out and shined
it into the cockpit. Blood was everywhere. Then he looked at the seat
and couldn't believe his eyes.
Heero was in it. But his legs were bent and twisted in odd ways,
and he was soaked in blood.
"Its a miracle he's in one piece," breathed Trowa, trying to
fight the bile that was rising to his throat. Then remembering himself
he pulled out his radio and shouted orders.
"We have found Wing Zero, pilot condition unknown, hurry with
an ambulance to section 20." Frustrated he pushed past the shocked
pilot at the door and felt for Heero's pulse. He found nothing.
Chapter 78
Catherine sat huddled in a ball within the corner of the hangar.
She was slowly rocking herself, trying desperately to regain her senses.
They had found Heero and Quatre. Heero they had managed to bring back
a heartbeat, but a very weak one. He wasn't supposed to last the hour.
Quatre was fine except for a few bruises and scratches. But he
was in an odd form of coma. They had tried everything to wake him, but
to no avail. It was like he was just an empty shell. His body was there
but his soul had left him.
Slowly she straightened, she wasn't going to help Heero if she
lost her mind. But it was so easy, so easy to succumb to the the simplicity
it offered her. No pain, no hurt, no nothing, just bliss.
"No," she mentally shook herself. Her friends needed her, Heero
needed her.
"I'm coming, hang on Heero, I love you," she whispered as she ran
to the infirmiry.
Chapter 79
Relena sat in a corner of the surgery room watching the two men
get work on. It was breaking her, the two men that were in her heart
were almost dead. One was someone she had loved, the other was her love.
Yes, her love, she never noticed it before. But seeing those
blank eyes, seeing the expression of nothingness had changed her. Made
her see she couldn't live without those aqua eyes. Made her see that
all her past loves were nothing compared to what was in her heart now.
If he died, she would die right along with him.
"Quatre," she sobbed.

Well, another chapter finished. I'd hoped to get it done a lot sooner,
it was only supposed to be the survival part of the story ha ha! Well,
if you want to see more coming I'll give you a hint: The more reviews
I get, the faster the new chapter comes out! ;-) And I REALLY want to
finish it, I have a million ideas in my head but I want to finish this
series. Just to get ya reviewing here's a preview of the stories to
come:
~A new romance, it said in the Endless Waltz that the mobile
suits were never heard of again. But wouldn't it be better if they had
come back instead of what the Pilots & Co. have to face now?
~A whole songfic short story series. Mostly romance, all centered
around one certain group of singers music! At least five different songs
if not more. I'm not telling who the group is, you'll just have to wait
to find out!
~A story of betrayal, and learning to trust again. What if a
love is left all alone, with a burden and no one to care for her? Who
can pick up the pieces of her heart and gain justice on the wrongs that
had been done?
Well, thanks for reading and reviewing!
