Genesis

Chapter Six

Enter Hero



America



"We have a problem." Says Quatre as he exits the phone booth. The two start to walk toward the mall in DC. Trowa silently waits for Quatre to explain. He observes that Quatre's attitude is of similar pose as a defeated man. He has his head lowered and has placed his hands in his pockets. Quatre kicks the tan colored pebbles that cover the pathway around the mall. Trowa looks ahead to see where they are going . . . ("To the Smithsonian?"). The two Gundam pilots stop in front of the beautiful red castle.



"I called the airport . . . We can't leave. All fights to and from earth are being canceled and any leaving the country. Orders by the president."



"We're trapped." It is a statement that Trowa says. He looks up at the clear blue sky. ("Earth is so beautiful.") On any other terms, he would have be delighted at the fact that he had to stay here. But seeing how they are now cut off from the others, it makes this gorgeous day seem grim.



Russia



"HOW?" Yells Wufei as he storms in the hotel. Lady Une enters the hotel with more grace than her partner.



"Wufei. Don't yell." However, her patience is running thin. ("How can Sally live with this guy?")



"WHY NOT? They don't understand what I am saying!"



"Be a man and shut up. I...do you think yelling will somehow get us back to the colonies? Make the president say "OK! I'm sorry I trapped you here! You can go home now."?" She says in a very sarcastic manner. Wufei glares at her but does not further the fight. He takes a seat in the lobby as does Lady Une. They sit there for sometime before Wufei speaks up.



"Can we steal a shuttle?"



America



"We need to keep a low profile. Brisk obversely has control of America and will be looking for us."



"So . . . we're on our own?"



"Yes." Says Quatre as they enter the food court at the Smithsonian.



Russia/America



TV: We interrupt this program to give an update on the No-arms treaty assassination. Here is Vice Foreign Minister Relena Peacecraft to address the people...



TV: "Yesterday the president of France was assassinated and I would like to address all leaders of the world to take in consideration of this senseless act. He died so an organization can take advantage of the people . . .



Russia

"What is she doing?" Says Wufei in disbelief. "This is what Hilde said would happen. She said Relena would address the leaders of the world and tell them not to take arms. Hilde warned that this would anger the leaders and lead them to Brisk . . ."



Russia/America



TV: "An organization that has taken the lives of many innocents. They are now targeting the rest of us. They are known as Brisk. For many years they have . . .



America



"She is going to get herself killed." Says Trowa.



"No . . . I think I know what she is doing!" Says Quatre as he looks around the room. All the people are watching the screen with wide eyes. Relena's words make an impact on the people. Some are saying "Brisk?"... "What are we going to do?" ... "After us? What does she mean?".... "We have to do something!"



"She isn't talking to the leaders of the world . . . "



Russia



"She's talking to the people . . . Look how they are acting. Millardo and Noin must have gotten there in time." Says Lady Une. A surge of hope fills her heart as she listens to Relena. They lost the leaders to Brisk but not the people. If they can get the people on their side than Brisk will have to lay low for the time being.



TV: "I believe if we all work together we can beat Brisk. If we stand together as one nation then Brisk cannot invade us. We must not let them take away our right to freedom, to life, to peace. I am taking a stand with or without the other leaders. I will not let anyone control us like the Alliance, Oz, White Fang and the Ronderfeller Foundation. Not again shall we enter a war . . . "



"She is giving Brisk a face before they can. Score one for the good guys." Says Lady Une.



L2



"I have a gift for you . . . " Says Genesis. The computer starts to download something. Duo leans forward to look at the screen but better yet to look at Hilde. Whenever Genesis is said, she becomes quite. She has never said the word Genesis nor talk about it. Hero once told Duo that he thinks Hilde maybe the pilot but that was disproved during the Libra incident. Duo had to save her so she couldn't be the pilot because at the same time Genesis was fighting. However, Hero still believes Hilde has some connection with the pilot and Duo is beginning to feel the same way. Her face is expressionless as she stares aimlessly at the screen.



"I think you should look at this file . . . I don't know what to make of it but Hilde . . . maybe you can." Duo looks at her as he sits back. ("She does know Genesis . . . ") Hilde starts to type.



"How did you get past my security?" ("Maybe she doesn't . . . ") Duo is now confused. If she does not know Genesis, then why act weird when the name in mentioned?



"Easy . . . You're good but not good enough . . . Need help getting in Brisk?"



"How do you know about that?"



"I know everything. Let me give you some advice . . . I think it would be more benefitting to go to the camp here than fight it from afar. Someone you know is there . . . oh one more thing . . . Be careful in whom you trust." The connection is cut and the file is downloaded. Everything returns to normal. Hilde runs the program. It takes sometime but what she sees is very odd.



"Bank statements?" She looks at Duo.



"Why in the world would . . . hold up . . . " She takes a closer look.



"This is my family's back account!"



"And look . . . some money has been taken out. A lot of money . . . are you really that rich?" He smiles at her. She is still looking at the screen. ("That is dated the time my father was killed . . . and that was dated when I was in the camp . . . who took all this money? Mrs. Greenberg? That has to be it! I have no other family who would do that.")



"I don't understand . . . " She looks over at Duo who is still looking at her. Then her mind drifts back a bit . . .



"Duo? How is this helping me?" Duo takes her hand and kisses it. Looking at her he pulls her hand away from his kiss, never leaving her eyes.



"Because . . . Hilde . . . you're my other half."



"Duo . . . " She forgot about Brisk, the stolen money and everything else, even Ajack. All she can think about is how she wished she could cry . . . not out of sorrow but out of happiness. When she first fell in love with Duo she always dreamed about the day he would say he loved her and now it had happened.



"Duo . . . I love you." She says in a soft voice. Hilde feels a little ashamed. Here she is not caring about anything else except kissing Duo to death when all around her people are dying.



"I love you too. Have for sometime. I was just a jerk, too stupid to . . . " He is interrupted by Hilde's lips. She grabs the collar of his shirt and pulls him to her. She kisses him hard for she knows these moments will be rare. Also, she was never really good with words. Who could blame her? She loves Duo so much that words won't cut it, that this kiss is the only thing she can think of. And from the fact that Duo is kissing back with the same amount of passion, it is not a bad way to get the message across.



"Hey! Uh . . . sorry. I'll come back later." Says Linda. Duo and Hilde stop their kiss and they both blush.



"No, Linda wait!" Linda stops and walks up to them.



"Are . . . um . . . things ready?" Say Hilde as she tries to hide her embarrassment.



"You bet! Lets go and kick some ass!" Linda laughs wildly and skips out of the room. Duo looks at Hilde with the expression . . . Is she nuts?



"Life has been very stressful for her."



"Oh."



Outside StarGate



Lark looks at Duo then to Ajack and back to Duo. Both men have their arms cross over their chest and are looking away from each other. Lark smiles. ("I can have fun with this . . . ")



"So Ajack . . . I bet it is great to see Hilde again." Ajack's face lights up and nods yes. Lark cannot help but smile at Duo's reaction. He has a look of pure hatred toward him. Then Duo's face changes as he looks at Ajack. Something dawned on Duo and whatever it is, Lark can tell it must be good for he smiles; a smile only for mocking.



("He still thinks she loves him? HA! If only he knew . . . ") Duo's thoughts are interrupted when Linda comes out to join them. She has on a black vest that zips in the front and tight black pants with matching boots. The outfit looks as if it is one suit. She has her long blond hair up in a bun and is checking her gun as she comes up to the boys.



"Ok. Lets roll." She says without looking at them as she gets in the back of the white van. Lark joins her and together they do a last minute check on their weapons. The van they are driving is lined in the back with bombs, guns and ammunition. Ajack is about to join them when Hilde comes out. Duo could not believe what he is seeing. All his little fantasizes just walked past him. Hilde is in a similar outfit as Linda. The only difference is that the vest is fasten in the front. She opens the driver's door and smiles at Duo.



"Coming?" She didn't have to ask him twice but as soon as he to the other side Ajack has seated himself next to Hilde.



"Sorry, but I know where we are going. So . . . " Slam. He closes the door and smiles victoriously. "I have to seat up here . . . with Hilde." If they did not need Ajack, Duo would have killed him where he sat.



Relena's Office



Relena collapses in her chair. She just finished addressing the world of the crisis before them. Her brother and his wife enter.



"Sally called." Says Millardo.



"Really? What did she want? I hope it's good." The two look at her with sorrowful faces. "It's bad? Great. Tell me what else is wrong." As Millardo relays Sally's message, Relena's mind turns to someone dear to her heart. "Hero . . . " She has not seen him at all this whole year. Relena wonders if he moved on or if he is too far gone to live a normal life. She hopes for the first.



"So now they are stranded here." Finishes Millardo. Relena sigh is heavy and she stands up to look out her window.



"I will call both presidents and tell them that they are my country's diplomats and must be returned to me at once."



"They won't allow it. Relena . . . " Noin does not want to ask but must. "We need Hero. He has a working Gundam and if you can . . . "



"I don't know where he is." Relena says bluntly. She remains still at the window. Noin takes a step back and looks at Millardo with a pleading expression.



Brisk



They are on top of the building next door to the site of the Brisk camp. All four peer over to look at the back entrance of the camp. There is a loading dock that might come in handy. The place is crawling with guards.



"Shit. This place has more security than an iron fortress." Says Lark.



"Guess they new we were coming?" Says Linda. Suddenly a man and a woman run out of the building. They look like everyone else, not like the guards who are in gray jump suits. Soon another woman runs out after them. She looks like a nurse and is pleading with the couple to come back.



"Wait! Please! I'm telling you we are not the Brisk that the Vice Foreign Minister was talking about!"



"Oh yeah? How can we be sure? She said you guys are cloning humans! How do we know none of those kids in there aren't clones?" Says the man. Hilde and the others can't believe what they are hearing.



"Sir. If you come in, I will explain . . . " She reaches for his arm but he pulls away.



"Hell no! Tell us here!"



"Honey please!" Says the woman with him. He looks at her and shakes his head.



"No. I will not be taken over by some freak." Hilde and her cousins sink a bit. They dislike hearing that word. Only because it is true.



"Sir! We are an orphanage! We don't sell weapons let alone clone humans!" The woman laughs a bit. "Come back in. I assure you none of the children here are going to "take over"." The couple looks at each other and laugh. All three enter the building.



"An orphanage?" Everyone looks at Ajack. He is still looking at the building.



"Hn. If it's an orphanage then the world is flat. Why would an orphanage need guards, guards with guns that is." He has a point but they still wait until the couple leaves. When they do, they leave with no one else.



"No child? Do you think they cloned them?" Says Duo.



"I don't think they can clone that fast." Say Lark.



"Look. The guards are leaving!" Says Hilde. Some dark, empty feeling hangs over them. They see this as a stroke of luck. However, it can too easily turn on them.



"This maybe our only chance." Says Ajack. Everyone nods.



"Alright. Lets kick some ass!" Says Hilde.



America



Trowa looks at the stuffed elephant in the main lobby of the Smithsonian. Quatre is calling Sally again. ("How could things get this worse? How could Brisk be so far ahead of us? This can't be the Brisk that trained Hilde . . . and me. She said they came to destroy the land that they had no intention of taking over Germany. So why the change? What happened when the Alliance pushed Brisk out of Germany? Damn. Too many questions.") He shakes his head. Trowa can't shake the feeling that there is more to Brisk than meets the eye. Also, the question of why Hilde did not fall between the cracks of Brisk like many other BMB's and him comes to mind to often. When he left, they never even bothered with him but when Hilde left they sent death threats to her, they went after her! Why? Trowa is starting to feel Hilde plays a bigger role than she thinks in this game Brisk is playing.



"Well Trowa. We may have to steal a shuttle after all." Quatre looks up at his tall friend. As always, Trowa is expressionless. Taking his silence as a "yes" Quatre leaves. As the two leave, so does three other men. Three men in black, three men that belong to Brisk.





Relena's Office



"I'm sorry Relena. It's just that . . . " Noin looks toward Millardo for help.



"Relena . . . We have to get them now. Sally told them, Trowa and Quatre that is, to steal a shuttle. We have to stop them."



"Why? We need them to get to space." She looks her shoulder to her brother. He takes a step closer.



"The final fight with Brisk and the Gundams will take place here. We believe their main site is on earth. Which means the Gundams will be sent here. Brisk thinks they won this. Well, they just trapped themselves in the cage with the tiger."



Inside Brisk



They move in silence. Becoming the shadows that lounge on the walls. So far so good. The place is empty except for a few guards and nurses. They walk without sound down a long hall. At the end is a door with light extending out from behind it. Slowly they walk . . . looking behind them to make sure no one is behind them. Hilde reaches for the door. She looks at the others and signals form them to ready themselves. She opens the door quickly and the hall is flooded with light. Then she closes the door again and glares at Ajack. When she opened the door, she was faced with bright colors, toys and children running and playing. Everything an orphanage is.



"Damn you Ajack! This is an orphanage!" She whispers her anger. Ajack shakes him head.



"It has to be a cover up. Why would an orphanage have guards with guns? I thought we went over this already?"



"Well, I don't see anything else that would say this is Brisk!" The two stare at each other until Linda spoke up.



"Hold up . . . I feel something." She is up against the wall and moves her hands behind her to feel the it.



"I think I feel an opening." She moves to the side for the others to see. Sure enough they could make out a door in the wall. Only problem . . . "How do we open it?"



"There must be a key or something. Everyone look." Says Duo as he starts to feel the wall for anything that could be a key.



Brisk's Security Room



"Should I sound the alarm?" Says a guard.



"No, let them in." Says a woman. She places a hand on the guard's shoulder. He nods and pushes a button that opens the door. The woman and guard smile as Hilde and the others enter.



"Don't sound the alarm till I tell you to. And warn everyone to stand down. Don't let them know that we're onto them. Got it?"



"Yes." As he sends the message, the woman leans down a bit to take a closer look at the screen. She takes her pointer finger and strokes the screen where Duo is. An evil smile crosses her libs. She leans back and places a hand on her growing abdomen.



"I knew you'd come back Duo, Love."



Relena's Office





"What should we do? America has closed their borders right? If so, they won't let us in." Relena turns to Noin and Millardo.



"Leave it to me." Says Noin as she salutes. Before she can go Millardo grabs her arm.



"What do you mean?"



"I'll fly over to America and pick up Trowa and Quatre. Millardo, why don't you do the same for Lady Une and Wufei?" Millardo shakes his head no.



"Noin. We can't enter their space when they closed their borders. It'll give them reason to attack us."



"Only if they see us." Millardo looks at her and then thinks about it.



"You have a point. That is if you will let us sister." They look at Relena. She turns her back to them.



"I will not be responsible for any of your actions. You are acting only as good friends."



Brisk



("This is too easy.") Thinks Hilde. So far the only troubles they faced were two guards but thanks to Duo and Lark, they were nothing than road blocks. They are in an elevator and are heading down to the 13th floor, the last floor. The lights flicker and tension is high. No one knows what to expect when the door opens.



11th Floor.



Hilde checks her gun for the sixth time. She looks over at Duo. He is checking his gun as well. Hilde smiles as she looks back at the door. Knowing him, Duo has several other weapons on him. He always did go a little over bard on the explosives.



12th Floor.



"Guys. We can't blow this place up." Says Linda. She is closest to the elevator's door.



"Why?" Says Ajack calmly.



"There are children up there! We will be risking their lives!"



"Don't be stupid. This is Brisk! Those things are NOT children. It is a ploy to make stupid fools like you . . . " Ajack is stopped by Larks fist.



"How dare you talk to my sister like that! She has very reason to be concerned. They maybe Brisk made but they are still children. Who knows, they maybe able to be normal."



"We can't be sure. I will not lose my life because of your damn heart!"



"At least I still have mine. You callous son-of-a-bitch!" Ajack moves to hit him but Hilde stands in the way.



"Don't even think about it! Ajack what is wrong with you? They have a point and we are NOT going to destroy this place. Just get in, get the information we need and get out. We don't have the time to play stupid war games!"



"Hilde! This is war!"



13th Floor.



The doors open and they jump out with their guns ready to shoot anything that moves. Nothing. They find themselves in a big room standing on the balcony that wraps around the room. Below is where the computers are. Hilde moves closer to look down at the area.



"Too may people. We need a distraction." She looks over at her cousins.



"Leave it to us." Says Lark as he grabs his sister's arm. The disappear behind the corner. Waiting for the distraction, Hilde surveys the room. There are about 20 computers and 25 workers. ("Not hard . . . not hard at all.") Then something or someone catches her eyes.



"Oh God . . . Hero."
