Genesis

Chapter Nine

Hilde's Secret



Amber sits in the garden patio outside her home. She is resting in a lounge chair under the shade of an umbrella. Amber is reading a romance book and finds it rather funny. Her hair is tied up in a bun and she is in a red bathing suit. It has been a week and three days since she has arrived. At first she hated being here but soon she got to like the little perks.



"Jennifer, Love, could you pour me another glass of lemonade?" Yes, the little perks are nice. Everything she wants she gets. Jennifer nods and pours her a glass of lemonade.



"Do you need any sun screen Amber?" Says the other nurse.



"No Kristine. I'm fine." She takes a sip from her glass and returns to her book. After she places the glass down, she rests a hand on her abdomen. She feels a little kick.



"Hello little one. Can't wait to come out and take over the world?" The three women laugh.



"Yes, little one. You will save us all!" Says Jennifer with Kristine nodding in agreement.



"Amber . . . may I?" Says Kristine as she moves a little closer.



"Yes you may, Kristine." Jennifer looks at Amber with a pleading look. "Yes Jennifer, you may." Both girls squeal with joy and they place a hand on Ambers growing abdomen.



"HA! I feel a kick!" Says Jennifer.



"Where? Oh I felt it too!" Both laugh with hearts full of joy. "To think this child could be the ruler of the world."



"What do you mean 'could be'?" Kristine pulls away to Amber's sudden coldness.



"Well, we don't know what will happen during childbirth. We may lose . . . "



"WE WILL NOT! My child is not weak! Now go inside and draw me a bath."



"Yes, Amber." They both bow and retreat back to the house. Amber takes off her shades and looks out to the ocean behind her.



"Of course you will survive. After all, your father is the God of Death."



Headquarters of Brisk



Sarah sits at a computer checking the monitors of the compound. A girl sits behind her on a table. There is a man checking the girl's heart rate.



"Alright. This one is healthy." Says the man as he places the tools away. The girl jumps down from the table.



"Great. Now we should name her . . . how about . . . Elizabeth?" The girl smiles.



"I would like that. What should I call you?" Sarah looks over her shoulder to Elizabeth.



"Sarah." The phone next to her rings. "Hello?"



"When the Gundams get here, let them in. I want no trouble." Says an old man.



"Yes master."



"Tell the guards to stand down. I want Hilde unharmed! I don't care about the other Gundams pilots. Do what you like with them but only after I tell you!"



"Yes master. As you wish." Sarah hands up. She smiles over at the man. "You heard the master. " She says with a sly tone to her voice.



"Right. I will tell them to evacuate."



"What? But the master . . . he will be left defenseless!" Says Elizabeth. Sarah raises a brow as she looks at the man.



"She is new. So she is still loyal."



"What? You mean . . . no!" Elizabeth backs away from the two. "I will not let you harm master!"



"Calm yourself. The master is already dead. This 'master' is an imposter." Sarah smiles her famous welcoming smile.



"What?"



"Our real master was killed by this one. We need Homo sapiens to survive so we followed him. We liked working with him . . . the other never used us. He didn't have the technology to make a strong New Model like this one can. But we see a flaw in his plan."



"A flaw? Like what?"



"He wants to save the humans. And use us to fight for them." Says the man.



"Yes. He says he doesn't want the people to suffer like he did."



"He doesn't want people to lose their loved ones like he did to war."



"But you see. His plan will never work."



"No, it won't. Homo sapiens love to fight. It is in their blood and nothing can stop them. They are a danger to themselves as well as the world."



"In order to live we must kill the Homo sapiens! We don't want to fight for them, they are such a disgrace. They will kill us all!"



"Only one can occupy this world . . . we took the liberty of making the choice."



"So this master is bad?" The two nod 'yes'. "Well then. Long live the New Models!" Elizabeth cheers as she leaves the room.



"Stupid fool." Says the man. Sarah laughs a bit.



"Don't worry. Once Amber has her child we won't have to make any more NM's." The phone rings again and Sarah picks it up.



"Hello?" There is a long silence and her face lights up. She hangs up and dials a number.



"Who was that?" She holds up her hand to silence the man.



"Master? We know who the pilot of Genesis is!"



In a Cell



Quatre is huddled under a mound of blankets. Trowa sits next to him.



"DDD-don't you neeeed a blanketttt?" He says to his silent friend.



"No. I'm fine." They have been here for a week and Trowa is being to feel that they forgot about them. ("What do they want with us?") Suddenly there is a commotion outside the cell. Everyone moves to the door to listen. August looks out the window and her eyes widen.



{"August? What is going on?"} Says Trowa as he stands up.



{"The guards . . . they're leaving! All of them!"}



{"What? Let me see."} Says Jones. He pushes August to the side and takes a look for himself. {"She's right!"} Everyone moves to try and look.



"What isss goiinng on?" Says Quatre with chattering teeth.



"The guards are leaving."



"W-what?"



******************~(%&%)~******************



"Really? Who!" The old man's eyes widen and a creepy smile crosses his lips. "I would never have guessed! Now that we know . . . Get him! I want him here before Hilde comes. Oh one more thing Sarah. Is the little girl from L2 ready?" He scratches his chin. "Well, I need her to be ready just in case Hilde doesn't work out . . . Do it now! I want her and the boy with me when Hilde comes . . . Got it?" He hangs up the phone. "Well now Hilde . . . you are quite clever. I would never have guessed him. Soon . . . soon Hilde my dear. You and your brother will help change the world."



Relena's Home



"WHAT DO YOU MEAN FORGET ABOUT THEM?" Yells Millardo at Hilde. She remains calm and brushes her hair back.



"What do you think I mean? We can't help them know! The only thing to do is cut the head of the best off so it won't bite."



"So what you are saying is to hell with them!"



"Well, you can look at it that way but I feel it is the safest way for them."



"Millardo. Hilde has a point. We don't even know where to look for them! Brisk is their capture so why don't stop them now. It maybe the only way to save them." Says Relena. She leads her brother away from Hilde and seats him in a chair. "Now Hilde. Are you ready to go?"



"Yes."



"I'm sorry I don't have anything to give you."



"It's alright. All we need are the Gundams. Your treaty has been a lot of help. Thanks to it we don't have to worry about mobile dolls or anything like that."



"I'm glad it came to use." She looks over to Hero who is avoiding her eyes.



"Hilde. We need Genesis, now." Says Hero. Hilde nods and is about to respond . . .



"WHAT?" Everyone looks over to Wufei. "I knew it. That woman. She knew who Genesis was all along!"



"Not only do I know that..."



"What else do you know?" Says Ajack. Hilde sighs. ("This is going to hurt . . . ")



"I'm the pilot as well." Hero smiled victoriously, Wufei's jaw it's the floor and the rest look at her in shock. All except Duo, who is looking very mad right now.



"Relena. Where's some rope?" He says in a low, evil voice. Duo comes closer to Hilde and she backs away.



"Now Duo. Don't do anything rash. I wanted to tell you but . . . you see . . . uh I couldn't."



"Didn't I tell you NOT to get involved? How many times Hilde? How many time did you fight with us?" Hilde is now backed up in a corner. Duo blocks any escape with his hands pinning her to the wall.



"Up until Hero said that he knew I was the pilot. Then my brother took over." She laughs a bit. Duo's grip on her shoulders tightens. "I had no choice but to hide it from you!"



"Why?" He says.



"Well? Will you let join the army?"



"Hell NO!" Linda laughs and Duo gives her his version of Hero's death glare.



"See! I'm a soldier Duo! I fight. Brisk made me that way!" Duo backs off and sits down. He rubs his face from frustration.



"You're staying here." He says bluntly. Anger fills her.



"No! Dammit Duo! I am not made of glass! In fact, I am stronger than you! So back off! You are not taking this away from me! I have waited for this my whole life! Wouldn't you like to get back at the ones who killed Sister Helen and Father Maxwell?" Duo looks up at her with wide eyes. Hilde suddenly feels like crap. Everyone can feel the tension rasing. "Duo . . . I'm so sorry . . . I" Duo walks up to her and hugs her protectively. He kisses the top of her head.



"No. I'm sorry. Your right . . . just be careful! Dammit. I just found you! And I'm not ready to let go."



"Great now that is settled, can we get going?" Says Wufei.



Headquarters of Brisk



Trowa could not believe his luck. All the locks of the cells opened and now he was free. He caries a very cold Quatre in his arms as he runs down the hall. The BMB's follow him. Thankfully it is much warmer outside the cell. Because of that, Quatre may live.



{"Trowa? Where are we going?"} Says August.



{"You are leaving and taking Quatre with you."} He hands Quatre to her. She looks at him confused. They have come to a room where there are computers and other devices are. Trowa sits himself down and turns on a computer.



{"We don't leave a man behind."}Says Jones. Trowa doesn't move.



{"Leave him alone. He knows what he is doing. Right now we have to get out of here. The guards left for a reason and I don't want to stay and find out! So lets move everyone!" They all exit the room but August. She kisses Trowa on the cheek.



{"Don't die."} She says to him.



{"Same to you."}



{"I'll take care of your friend."} She says as she runs off. Trowa smiles as he starts to hack in the files. Trowa sees a file called 'Child of Hope' and opens it. He starts to read and his eyes widen. Click. Trowa doesn't need to turn around, he knows that Sarah Brisk is behind him with her gun to the back of his head.



"Get up." She says. He does so. "We were going to let you live but now that you know about our little plan . . . you must die."



"The only reason you let Quatre and I live is so we can kill Brisk for you." Sarah laughs.



"Silly fool. He is already dead." She points the gun point-blank to his forehead. Trowa closes his eyes.



BANG.



He feels no pain . . . he opens his eyes to see Sarah dead on the ground. Behind her is . . .



"Noin!"





Outside Relena's Home



"Ready Hero?" Says Duo.



"Yes. Wufei?"



"I'm ready."



"Hilde, are you ready?" Says Hero.



"Yes. We're ready. Genesis will meet us there. Ok?"



"Yes." Say the Gundam pilots. Duo readies his Gundam when suddenly an image comes to mind . . .



"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 . . .



"Hilde?" He says. His voice a little shaken.



"Yes?"



"I love you.You know that?"



"Love you too." Relena, Une and Millardo watch as the three Gundams fly off with Hilde, Ajack and her cousins following in a shuttle.



"Do you think they will win?" Says Une.



"They will have to . . . for our sake." Says Relena. "And for the sake of the world."



Headquarters of Brisk



"Noin!" Trowa says again. "How?"



"How did I get here? Well, I went to DC to find you and Quatre but ran into this boy. He is from the underground of BMB's. I have been with them since then."



"The underground?"



"Yes. Lark, their leader, told them to hide until he tell them to come out."



"And Lark told you to come here."



"That is correct. I am so glad you are alive...(small pause)...where are the guards?"



"Gone."



"What? Why?"



"Take a look at this. Brisk is not in control here. The NM's are. They brought us here to kill Brisk for them . . . well at least their human leader. However, that girl said Brisk is already dead."



"I know. I heard what she said . . . What?" Noin reads the file. " They are trying to reproduce?"



"Yes. And it looks like Duo has helped." Noin looks up at him in disbelief.



"No . . . how can we stop them?"



"I don't know." Just then the room starts to shake. "What is going on?"



Outside



Duo hits the underground complex on move time with his scythe; cutting the top so they can enter.



"Alright! Lets go in!" Duo turns off his Gundam and jumps out with the rest. The hurry to the shuttle where they dress for the weather. "Man it's cold out there!" He says as he puts on his coat.



"We don't have time to complain Duo. Now lets go." Says Hero has he grabs a gun and heads for the opening. Duo says something under his breath. He looks up to see Hilde putting something on her neck.



"Hey. What's that?" She looks over at him and smiles.



"A neckless my mother wore. It is a locket with her picture and my father's in it. But . . . here you should have it." She takes it off and hands it to Duo. He opens it to look at the pictures. Her mother looks just like Hilde, same smile, eyes . . . but her hair is brown. Now her father, he had the black hair and the cornflower blue eyes like Hilde.



"Why?" He says as he puts it on.



"So to let you know that I want it back when we're done." Duo smiles and kisses her. He takes off his neckless and places it on her.



"So to let you know that I want it back when we're done." They kiss again, this time it is long and all their love is poured into it.



"HEY! Do that after we win!" Yells Lark. They blush and head off to join the others. As soon as they leave the shuttle, they are greeted by Hero.



"Genesis is not here." He says. Hilde looks around but the wind is kicking up the snow and making it hard to see.



"Give him some time! He'll be here." She says as she runs to the opening.



Inside



They have entered Brisk but have faced no one so far. The whole place is empty.



"I don't like this." Says Linda.



"Right. We should split up. Hilde . . . and Duo. Come with me. Linda, Lark go east. The rest go west."



"Who made you the leader?" Says Wufei.



"No one. But we need a plan." Wufei is about to say something when . . .



"Hilde?" Says a voice. They look around but see no one who could have said it. Then Linda looks at Hilde. She is pail and looks like death.



"Jonathan?" She looks up to a speaker mounted on the ceiling.



"HILDE!!! IT'S A TRAP! Forget me! Blow this place up! AAAA." The boy's voice is cut off.



"JONATHAN! Damn you Brisk! Give my brother back!" For the first time in a long time, Hilde is crying. Since her mother's death she has never cried, but this . . . her brother . . . this something to cry over. Hilde starts to run strait, down the hall, leaving the others behind.



"HILDE! Stop!" Yells Duo. He runs after her but is tackled to the floor . . . by Ajack. "Damn you! Get off!" Ajack is much stronger than Duo. Knowing this, Ajack smiles.



"No. She must go. Hilde deserves the pain. Like I went through because of her!"



"I knew it! He is a traitor!" Yells Lark as he throws Ajack off of Duo. "Fight ME!! Lets see how you can do against a BMB you son-of-a-bitch!" Ajack smiles as he gets up.



"Sure. After Hilde dies!" He turns around and heads out the door Hilde had just gone in. Duo gets up but Linda stops.



"No, let us handle it Duo. You need to help Hilde." She winks as she heads after her brother.



******************~(%&%)~******************

Trowa, Noin and the BMB's from DC are trying to escape. To them there is no reason to stay here and with what Trowa and Noin now know, they must leave here alive.



"This way!" Says Noin. "Over here are where some escape pods are. It's how we got in!" Trowa nods and follows her to the large room. There are six escape pods left. Each are open and ready to leave. One, however is now occupied.



{"August? What are you still doing here?"} She helps the last BMB from her group in. She turns and smiles at Trowa.



{"It's like a damn maze in here. Took us all this time just to find this place. Don't worry. Your friend is safe on board. Are you coming?"}



{"Yes. But I need to worn my friends not to come here."}



{"Right. Inside is a radio. You can contact . . . "} She is interrupted by a scream. They all turn around to see a blond girl fighting some guy.



{"Linda?"} Says Wendy. {"It's Linda and . . . Ajack? Why is she fighting Ajack?"}



{"I don't know but lets help her!"} Says Jones as he runs to them.



******************~(%&%)~******************



Duo has been running in and out of room after room. This place never seems to end!



"Dammit Hilde! WHERE ARE YOU!" Yells. The others are behind him but are not at his speed. Duo is more driven then they are. The woman he loves is in danger . . . he can't lose her, not again! "Hilde! Please answer me!" Duo is now in a long white hallway. He runs faster and faster. Never missing a step, he almost flies down the hall. Closer he gets to the door . . .



"Give up. You can't win. We're all lost, all doomed." Said Hilde as she pointed a gun to Duo's head.



Almost there . . .



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.



Just a little more . . .



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 . . .



He is only a few steps away when . . .



"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! STOP IT!!!" Hilde. Duo doesn't remember much of the hall, his mind is on one thing now; beating the brain in the person who made Hilde scream in pain. He slams his side into the door, forcing it open. He has his gun ready but what he saw next was not what he was ready for. There in the middle of the room kneels Hilde. She has her back to him and her body shakes from her heavy sobbing. Duo looks ahead of her and sees a body of a boy. Dead, alive? Duo couldn't tell. He walks up to her. The others are coming but they are not fast enough. Soon, as Duo steps next to Hilde, a glass wall falls down. This glass wall cuts Hilde and Duo off from the others. They run in the room not seeing the wall. As soon as they are in, the door closes trapping the remaining Gundam pilots in a small area. Duo did not see nor hear the wall come down, but when the door slammed shut he say what was happing. Hero and Wufei try to break the glass but a gas starts to fill the area.



"Dammit." Says Hero as Wufei and himself fall asleep.



"Hero! Wufei!" Duo tries to help them but stops in his tracks. A cold chilling laugh fills the air. Hilde remains where she is. Duo runs to her, ready to protect her. Duo sees the room really for the first time when he turns back to Hilde. His mind has been moving so fast that he didn't really take in his surroundings. It is 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 him is a balcony that has a staircase on each end that wraps around the dome till the end of where the wall starts.



"Just like the dream . . . " He hears the laugh again. Duo turns to the balcony. On top is a man with gray hair that has signs that his hair was once black. He is holding a little girl. She looks scared. Duo remembers her from the orphanage. The man walks down the stairs. He has cornflower blue eyes. ("Those eyes. Where have I seen them . . . ") Duo point his gun at the man.



"No Duo . . . please . . . " Says Hilde between sobs. Duo ignores her.



"Put the child down Brisk! Don't be a coward!" He clicks off his safety on his gun. The man keeps coming till he is standing next to the body on the floor.



"Hilde? Are you going to let this boy shoot me?" He says. Hilde stands up and pushes Duo to the ground.



"Hilde?!" Duo tries to get up but Hilde is faster. He can only make it to his knees when she says . . .



"Give up. You can't win. We're all lost, all doomed." Says Hilde as she points a gun to Duo's head. He shakes his head. ("No. This is like the dream . . . strange room that looks like an aquarium. The guys on the ground, appearing to be dead . . . old man . . . no, please. Hilde, don't let this be true.") Hilde has now clicked off the safety of her gun. Behind her the old man is laughing like a mad man. She readies her gun . . .













"Sorry Duo. But I won't let you kill my father."
