Genesis

Chapter Eight

Genesis Revealed



"Hilde . . . " repeats Hero to make his point. Telling her in few words . . . 'Get on with it'. Hilde sighs and closes her eyes. She squeezes the bridge of her nose to release the pressure building in her head.



"I...Hero don't make me. I promised." This surprises everyone. Hilde just now sounded like a lost child, her voice is so soft and frail. Hilde plays with her hands in her lap and looks down to the floor. Duo takes a step closer and rests a hand on her shoulder. She dose not move to his touch but is thankful for his comfort.



"Promised what?" Hero presses on. He is determined to get Hilde to talk, despite the pain this question is causing her. Duo looks at Hero with a pleading look . . . 'Stop'. Hero shakes his head 'no' and kneels down in front of her. "Hilde. Talk. Now!" His voice is harsh making Hilde looks away.



"Hero. I can't. If I do then Brisk will find him. They will KILL him! Please, if they don't know then he is safe. And if he is safe then so are we. My cousins don't even know! And they are my blood!" If Hilde could cry, she would. Genesis is very important to her, more ways than one.



"Is Genesis your father's? Answer that and I may let it go now." Anger flashes in her eyes. Hilde has her head lowered but can still look up at him. Hero moves back a bit. ("So much anger . . . ") Thinks Hero as he stares in Hilde's blue eyes.



"Yes." She says coldly. Hero stands up and turns to the computer. He starts to type.



"Brisk seems to be very interested in Genesis and you. That's why I need to know what connects you three." Hilde looks up at Hero. His eyes never leave the screen. She stands up with Duo following behind. The two stand by Hero's side and look at the screen.



"Three? What do you mean by three?" Says Hilde.



"Genesis, Brisk and you. During my search the three of you kept coming up. Brisk knows about Genesis, but doesn't know how pilots it. I believe that is why they are after you. They know you built Genesis."



"How? No one knows but the people here at StarGate and they are very loyal to me." Hero gave looks at her.



"Hilde . . . "



"I know, I know but still. Why is Genesis so important? The only thing different is the fact that it can absorb the enemy's blast and reflect it back. Other than that it is just like the other Gundams."



"But that attack can mean a difference." Says Duo.



"Right. But that slows Genesis down, making it easy to attack afterwards. That's why Genesis makes a retreat after it does that move." Hilde looks at the screen and sees four files.



File One: Red Bird.



File Two: Blue Bird.



File Three: Black Tree.



File Four: Creation.



"Open Red Bird. Maybe one of these files will answer to why Genesis is so important." Says Hilde as she leans in closer. Hero clicks on the file and a list political leaders show up. "Alright . . . that would make sense. Brisk would need a list of the leaders." She points to the next file and Hero again clicks the file. This file opens to show yet another list. A list of all the BMB's, with where they were from, and who their parents are.



"This file can come in handy for Trowa." Says Duo. Hilde nods in agreement.



"What's Black Tree?" Voices Linda as she looks over Hero's shoulders. He glares at her for touching his shoulder. She sticks out her tongue and removes her hand.



"It's the location of all the sites! Look . . . Germany, Tibet, Moscow and the North Pole." Says Lark. He picks up his sister and the two dance around the room. "This is great! Brisk only has four camps and we already destroyed two of them!" Hilde smiles at her cousins as they dance around the room. Duo smiles as well, but for a different reason. It has been a long time since Duo has seen that smile on Hilde. He always loved how that smile could brighten his day.



"Hn." Says Hero. The twins stop their dance and everyone looks at the perfect soldier.



"What is it Hero?" Says Duo.



"Aren't Wufei and Une in Moscow?"



"Yes. So what?" Hilde crosses her arms over her chest.



"They're trapped with Brisk."



"So? We can get them out."



"Haven't you heard? Russia has closed their borders!" He gives Hilde a look that expresses . . . 'Don't you know any better?'. Hilde wants to smack the look right off him but does not. He had a point.



"Great. Then we need to finish the Gundams now." The room falls into silence as everyone lets their minds gather.



"Open Creation." Says Hilde. Hero looks over at her. He opens the file. Everyone looks down but say nothing. The file looks like a log . . . written in German.



"What in the world? Hilde. What does it mean?" Duo looks over at her and begins to worry. Her face is pail and she starts to sweat. Hilde brings a shaking hand to her lips.



"Oh God. They're . . . they're going to destroy the colonies!"



"What?" Says Duo.



"This is their plan . . . Brisk is going to destroy the colonies. That must be why they want Genesis. He is the only one that does not belong to any organization."



"Right. Which means they can use Genesis, then destroy it and say he belonged to any group they want." Says Hero.



"Then the world will be pulled into a war." Says Linda in a soft voice.



"That doesn't make sense." Everyone looks to Hilde. "Why let us have this information? Now we know which means we will stop them." She starts to walk away and then turns around quickly. "We know they don't have Genesis. I won't give him over. So letting us know will give them nothing? Is there something we are missing?"



"Call the others. Tell them to go to Relena's and stay there until we finish the Gundams." Says Hero as he prints out the location of the main headquarters of Brisk.



"Have a plan?" Says Duo.



"Yes."



"What is it?" Says Ajack.



"Give Brisk what they want."



Main Headquarters of Brisk



In a meeting room sit twelve men at a long table. Six on each side. They all share the same expression . . . fear. A woman with blond curly hair and green eyes enters the room along with six others. She sits at the head of the table while the others with her stand behind her.



"Hello gentlemen. Why look so glum? We almost won." She says with a sly voice.



"ALL MOST WON!" Screams one of the men. "I thought we made you smarter! Relena Peacecraft is still alive, Hilde has reached the colonies which mean the Gundams are on their ways to being built, we DON'T have Genesis and to TOP that . . . we no longer have a country supporting our army! We have no weapons to defend ourselves from the Gundams!"



"Well now, how do you expect us to win with that attitude?" The men look at her as if she is mad. Seeing their expression, the girl laughs.



"What's so funny?" Says another man. The girl shakes her head to calm her laughter.



"N-nothing. Just that things are quite the opposite. You see, we have Genesis. We never lost it." The men look at each other and whisper words of doubt. The girl, known as Sarah Brisk, tries to encourage them with more information. It's the least she can do. They are her creators. "Relena is a child. Very whew countries listen to her. Those countries are supporting us now. They can't give us much but anything is better than nothing." The whispering stop and all eyes are upon her.



"What about the Gundams?" Says the man who spoke earlier. His voice has lost some of its fear. Sarah stands up from the table. She brushes a hand in her short hair.



"You no longer have to worry about them." She says through an evil grin. The men at the table can't help but feel that there is another meaning behind her words. Seeing that they are finished, Sarah leaves the room . . . the others that followed her in did not. As the door closes behind her and she starts to walk down the long white hallway. A boy comes to her with a report updating Brisk's status. When she takes the report, yells can be heard from the room she just left. A smile of satisfaction crosses her lips, and she hasn't even read the report yet.



"What is going on in there?" Asks the boy. Sarah touches his face with her free hand as she reads the report.



"Nothing child. Just taking care of the trash." The boy stops at looks behind him at the door. Sarah keeps moving and reaches the door at the other end. She doesn't look back as she exits the hall.



"Trash?" Says the boy confused. He still can hear screams but they are few now but what really scares him this the sound of six guns going off.





In a Cell



Trowa starts to wake up. He places a hand on the back of his neck.



"Stupid . . . " He says to himself. Then reality crashes down on him like a ton of bricks. "Quatre!" He looks around him taking in his surroundings. ("Dark room . . . cell most defiantly . . . cold . . . only light coming from a small window . . . looks like a door. Dammit. Can't see anyone . . . ") There is a movement in front of him in the shadows. He turns to face the sound. Then another is heard to his right . . . no left. Trowa stands up falls. The blow to the head is still in effect. However, hands steady him and help him to the ground.



"Quatre?" Trowa says in an uncertain voice.



{"What did he say?"} Says a voice in German. A female's voice. Trowa tries to focus his eyes. With the light coming from the small window in the cell's door, Trowa can make out the features of the woman. She is young, maybe a little older than Hilde, with sort hair that reaches down to her chin.



{"Don't know Japanese."} Says a deeper voice. Trowa can make out the others face as the person steps into the light. A boy about the age as him who does not have any hair. He is wearing a grey (which once was white) tank top and gray sweat pants. Trowa can tell the boy has been here for sometime by his cloths. The boy's breath is short and fast, like he has just been running, and Trowa can see the his breath turn to small puffs of smoke. This observation brings Trowa's mind back to the fact the room is cold . . . very cold.



{"I know English."} Says a voice to Trowa's left. Another girl. She is hiding in the shadows so Trowa can't see her.



{"Don't be stupid. He may not know English!"} Says a male's voice that is also to the left.



{"Well, it's worth a try!"} The girl clears her throat. "Hello . . . I'm Vindy. How are . . . you?"



{"Fine."} Says Trowa in perfect German.



{"You speck German?"} The girl comes in the light. Much like the other girl, she has hair cut to her chin. She is wearing a similar outfit as the shaven boy. {"Who are you? Why did they bring you here? Are you one of us? And your friend?"}



{"My friend!"} Trowa stands again. The others do the same. {"Where is he?"} Trowa shakes a bit to the cold starts to set.



{"Come here my friend."} Says the first woman. {"My name is August. What's yours?"}



{"Trowa."}



{"Your friend is here. He is still out. Is he normal or one of us? I am assuming you are a BMB?"}



{"Yes."} August leads Trowa to a still form on the floor. He kneels down and checks the body's pulse. ("Good. He's alive. But he is so cold.")



{"He has to be a BMB or why would they bring him!"} Says the shaven boy.



{"Jones! Will you calm down?"} Says August.



{"Where are we? Why is it so cold?"} Says Trowa has he tires to wake Quatre up.



{"To numb our senses. Brisk made us to survive any climate. Yet, cold does slow our actions, making it easy to fight us."} Says Jack. {"You are here, in the heart of pure evil. The headquarters of Brisk."}



{"We don't know the correct location. Just know we are somewhere in the north . . . or south pole."} Says August as she kneels down next to Trowa.



{"Who are you?"} She says as she looks into Trowa's eyes. He looks at her but turns to his best friend.



{"I am Trowa Barton. This is Quatre Winner."}



{"Hey! Aren't you guys Gundam pilots?"} Says Windy. Trowa nods 'yes'.



{"Quick! Everyone! Give your blankets to them! We must save this mans life!"} Says August. A shower of blankets falls upon Trowa and Quatre as there are more than four people in the room. By counting the number of blankets there must be about thirteen people in total (not counting Trowa and Quatre.).



{"Thank you."} Says Trowa. {"Now tell me everything you know about Brisk and their plans."}





StarGate



"That was Sally saying that Wufei and Land Une are safe. But Trowa, Quatre and Noin are missing. Also that you are to bring your 'gifts' to Relena as soon as possible." Says a worker. He looks at all the people in the room. All of them have down faces. He scratches his head and wonders what is wrong.



"Thank you Peter. How are the Gundams?" Says Hilde.



"Give up five more days and we will be done!" Says Peter with pride.



"Alright. We will be down in a minute to help." She smiles at Peter as he closes the door. The moment the door clicks shut her face turns to one filled with worry. She sinks back in her seat. "The colonies . . . " She says in disbelief.



"Why so glum Hilde? Genesis is safe. Isn't?" Says Linda. Hilde doesn't look at her cousin. She stares at the computer screen and the file that writes the doom of the colonies.



"That is true. But, they must know something. Something I don't. In this log they talk as if they already have Genesis . . . What do you know Brisk? What do you have up your sleeve that I can't see?"



"Maybe they know who the Gundam pilot is?" Says Ajack.



"No. There is no way they could know." Says Hilde as she shakes he head.



"If they did know then why go after Hilde?" Says Duo. He comes up to Hilde and starts to massage her shoulders. "You are too stressed out babe. You need to relax." Hilde closes her eyes and lets out a sigh.



"I wish I could. It's just that this is driving me insane!"



"That maybe what Brisk wants. Make you mess up so you fall in their hands." Says Lark. "And if they do, they could use you to get Genesis."



"Genesis is not that stupid. Besides, I can't help but feel that they are laughing at me."



"Who?" Says Duo.



"Brisk. I know they know something I don't. I mean . . . why act like they have Genesis already? Uh! I can't take this any more dammit!" She gets up from her chair and starts pacing the room. Duo had to stop her or she would stress herself out. He stops her with a strong protective hug. Duo gently sways back and forth. He can feel Hilde relax and hug him back.



"Hilde, babe. You should get some rest. We can take over here . . . " Duo is interrupted by Hero.



"You are staying here." Hilde looks over at Hero without leaving Duo's embrace.



"What?"



"Brisk gave us this information to lead you to them. If you stay here then they can't get you." Hilde shakes her head.



"No. Genesis and I have an agreement. If one of us is captured then we will not turn the other over." Hilde's words sparked an interest in Hero and Ajack. ("Why would they care about her if the pilot is captured?") Thinks Hero and Ajack. Hero is about to ask Hilde his question when Duo speaks up.



"Come on Hilde. I think you need to rest. Hero, I think you need to get your Gundam and bring it here. We are going to need it." Hero nods as he watches his best friend walk away.



Headquarters of Brisk



Sarah is in a glass dome room. Outside is the ocean that makes the room seem like an aquarium. The glass only covers the dome half way. Toward the middle and wall white wall starts and works its way up to the top of the dome. Where the wall is, is where the rest of the complex connects to the dome. The floor is of white and black marble tile. Above her is a balcony that has a staircase on each end that wraps around the dome till the end of where the wall starts. She walks out to the center, still reading the report, and turns to face the balcony. At the balcony level are two round doors that connect to each other to look like one door.



"So they should be on their way . . . excellent." She says to herself. She looks up as the one of the two doors open. "Ah! Good news master! Hilde will be on her way sometime soon. Everything you said would happen has. Except Relena's little speech, but don't worry, we have everything worked out."



"Good. Then she got the files?" Says an old man.



"Yes master. By now she has seen the files and believes we are going to destroy the colonies. That should get her moving on those Gundams!" She laughs but the man does not.



"Excellent. Then we know who Genesis is?" Her laughter dies down.



"No. We haven't heard about it. Sorry master."



"Don't worry child." He takes in a deep breath. "Ah. Peace is on its way. Soon no one will have to fight. Only my children and no one will ever have to suffer a loss of a love one. Yes, never suffer . . . " The old man treats back into the room he left. As he is gone from sight, a smile creeps its way on her face.



"If only you knew, master." She laughs as she heads out of the room.



StarGate



"Why you guys? I did nothing to you, nothing to give you any rights to torment me! You aren't dead! I didn't kill you!"



"You're doomed like the rest of us. You'll suffer like the rest of us." They all said in union.


"Yes. Suffer like the rest of us." His eyes became wide upon hearing the gentle voice of his love, Hilde. He looked up to where she stood. Hilde was different from everything else in this world. She looked like she would in the real world yet she did have a light glow to herself that made her look almost angelic. He would have smiled if not for what she had just said.



"What? No . . . not you . . . " Duo closed his eyes in hope he would awaken from this nightmare.



"Give up. You can't win. We're all lost, all doomed." Said Hilde as she pointed a gun to Duo's head. He opened his eyes to see that he was in a strange room that looked like an aquarium. Duo was on his knees. The others where on the ground, appearing to be dead. Hilde stood in front of him and has now clicked off the safety of her gun. Behind her was an old man who was laughing like a mad man. She readied her gun . . .



Duo looks a round the room he is in. It's the lounge of StarGate. He is seated in a chair and has been sleeping with his head down on the table. The room is dark and he can make out a figure sleeping on the couch. He smiles as he remembers that it is Hilde. ("Man I love her.") He gets up and walks over to her. He kneels down to face her. Duo moves some hair that has fallen over her face. Hilde moves and smiles to his touch, which only motivates him more. He leans down and kisses her cheek. A light giggle escapes her lips. Great, he has to kiss her full on the lips now that he has heard that. And he does. Hilde, still asleep, unconsciously wraps her arms around his neck. Duo can't help but smile as he deepens the kiss . . . (Long silence) . . . Now Hilde is awake. Her eyes widen and she pushes Duo away with a force that makes him lose balance and fall to the ground.



"Duo! I'm sorry . . . I didn't know. Are you alright?" She starts to laugh. Hilde moves so he can sit down next to her.



"Fine, just my pride is broken."



"Well, next time worn me . . . " She rests her head on his shoulder and he places an arm over her shoulder. Duo rests his head on Hilde's and the two are silent.



"Duo?"



"Yeah."



"Should I stay here?" Hilde just mentally smacked herself. She just asked over protective Duo if she should fight.



"Yes and no. With Brisk, it may make it easier to get to you if you are away from us. I feel it would be safer if you stayed by my side. I will never let anything happen to you. I love you and I am willing to die for you."



"Don't say that. No one is going to die."



"Can't help it. Everyone I've cared about has died on me. I'm not going to lose you. I will give you everything I have to make sure you are safe. Brisk is going down. They think they can just take you away? Well, they will have to learn the hard way . . . you mess with Hilde, you mess with the God of Death as well." Duo tightens his grip on her shoulder to emphasize his point. Hilde smiles as blushes a bit. "Tell me about your father." Hilde looks up at him.



"Why?"



"Just curious."



"Well, he was a great man and I love him no matter what. I will kill anyone who would say anything bad about my father. He never intended for things to get this way." Hilde looks up to the ceiling. "Oh father. You loved us so much. I feel sorry for him. To die the way he did. I hope it was painful . . . unlike my mother's."



"And your brother's." Duo points out. Hilde becomes nervous. He sees this and sees how similar her reaction is to when Genesis is mentioned. Then is hits him . . . "Hero. I can't. If I do then Brisk will find him. They will KILL him! Please, if they don't know then he is safe. And if he is safe then so are we. My cousins don't even know! And they are my blood!" If Hilde could cry, she would. Genesis is very important to her, more ways than one.



"Hilde . . . "



"Yes. I know." Hilde leans in closer to Duo. She knows he figured it out. "See why I can't tell you guys yet. Not till I know it is safe. They think he is dead. Duo . . . he is the only family I have left besides the twins. Please don't say anything." He nods 'yes' and the two just hold each other as they fall asleep. Unknownly that their conversation has been over heard by someone from Brisk.



Amber's Home



Amber shields her eyes from the sun with her right hand. She looks out to the ocean before her.



"So much water." She says as she looks to her left then right. Amber's new home is on a tiny island off of Australia. Her house over looks the ocean on the edge of a cliff. She turns a round and looks at the stairs leading up to her new home.



"Dammit! Why is it so hot?"



"Need some water?"



"Or some food?" Say to twin nurses. They both are in traditional white nurses outfits and they have short black hair and green eyes. The two talk as one person and are getting on Amber's nerves. Where every she goes, and that is not far seeing how this is a small island, the two nurses follow. Constantly they ask her questions . . . 'How are you' . . . 'Do you need any thing' . . . etc . . . etc.



"No. For the last time I am FINE! Now go away!" Amber storms off, leaving the two nurses behind.



"I don't understand. Why is she like that?"



"She is not like us. She was made to for one reason only. To have a child."



"Why is that so important? We can make ten New Models in the time it will take her to one!"



"I know. But if we are going to be free of Brisk we must become independent. Right now we need Brisk to ensure our survival. We only know how to operate the tools to make us. If they are to break then we are doomed."



"So if Amber can have this child . . . then we can reproduce!"



"And nothing can stop us from taking this world from the Homo sapiens!" The two laugh and make plans on how they will live the rest of their days out and how they can't wait for the baby to be born. Their child of hope.



Relena's Home



"So." Relena pours some hot tea into Lady Une's cup. "Noin, Trowa and Quatre are missing?"



"That is correct. We must hurry. Brisk most defiantly has them." Une lightly sips her tea. Relena walks over to her brother and pours him a cup of tea.



"How are the Gundams coming?" He says as he thanks his sister with a nod.



"Sally says they will be done by the end of the week." Says Une. Relena looks at her and smiles.



"Well. That is good news."



"She also said Hero is with them . . . " Crash. Relena drops the tea pot. Une and Millardo look at her with concern.



"S-sorry. So clumsy of me!" She says in a shaken voice. Relena bends down to pick up the shards of china. Her brother and Une stand to help. "No. It's alright. Thanks you anyway." She says, trying to sound collect. But her bother knows something is up.



"Relena. Hope you don't mind me asking . . . what happened between you and Hero?"



"I don't mind. In fact, I rather talk about it." She sighs and stands up. Relena walks over to the trash can and drops the broken china in. "He told me he could never see me again. That we are from two different worlds and we would never work." Relena sits down. "I don't believe him. I know he still cares about me. He is just trying to . . . to protect me." She smiles a bit to ensure her brother and Une that things are alright.



In a Cell



{"We don't know what their plans are."} Says August.{"Just know that they want to know where the other BMB's are hiding."}



{"After the battle in Tibet we retreated to a safe location, sorry but we won't tell you, waiting for Hilde to come back with the Gundams. We lost so many . . . we don't have enough to even be declared an army!"} Jack laughs nervously, almost like he is trying to stop tears from falling. Windy come up to him and gives him a comforting hug.



{"Lark, our leader and Hilde's cousin, told us to stay hidden. That we should wait for Hilde . . . now that you are here, we know that things are looking up for us!"} Windy starts to cry tears of happiness. {"Soon, soon we will be free and able . . . able to live our lives!"} Whispers are heard all around, as people talk about freedom. Trowa looks to his friend. Quatre is slowly starting to warm up under the blankets.



"T-Trowa?" Says Quatre.



"Shhh. I'm here. Try and rest."



"What? Where are we?"



"In the heart of Brisk." Trowa looks over to the others and sees them all huddling together. Brisk has made them to stand any climate but this was insane! ("It had to be below freezing in here.") Thinking this, Trowa hugs his friend tighter . . . and slowly . . . sleep clams them both.



StarGate



A week has passed and Brisk has made no move to destroy the colonies. Things in the world seem to have calmed down. However, Noin, Trowa and Quatre are still missing. Wufei and Millardo have been searching but had to stop. The Gundams are done and the battle plans have been made. All that is left is to send the Gundams to Earth. Not very hard. Hilde overlooks the work of her workers as the load the last Gundam in the shuttle. Hero is already on and is doing a last check up. The Gundams maybe done, but they still need to be looked over. They did finish them is little more than a week.



"Alright boys! Lets lock up!" She says once the last Gundam is secured.



"Hilde? Are you ready?" Asks Ajack. She smiles at him.



"Yes. You?" He nods and walks away to enter the shuttle. Lark and Linda come up to her.



"We've called the others. They are ready and willing to fight." Says Linda.



"Did you give them the location of Brisk and where to meet us?"



"Yes."



"Good. Then lets head off."



"Hilde . . . be careful." Says Lark as he hugs her.



"Same to you too! The both of you." The twins get on and everything is ready. Everything but Duo that is. He comes running out of the lounge with toast in his mouth.



"Hey! Why didn't you wake me?"



"Because you looked so cute!" Duo laughs. He is happy to see his old Hilde back. He likes the strong Hilde but the cute innocent girl he misses. He finishes his toast and kiss Hilde on the check.



"Ready Babe?"



"As ready as I will ever be." Together they enter the shuttle, hand in hand. The workers watch as they leave not knowing that they are off to save the human race from extinction.
