Chapter 3: The Gang decides and the Gundams Riot
Quatre tapped on Relena's door, Trowa and Dorothy by his side watching intently. He held a silver tray in front of him with a silver tea set with beautiful porcelain cups. The door opened, revealing Relena behind it. She seemed to look tired.
"I brought some piping hot tea for all of us," Quatre said trying to get a look at who else was in the room, "It's a special blend of ginseng and other herbal remedies." Relena smiled warily.
"Thank you Quatre. Please come in." Trowa followed after Dorothy noticing Sally Po with her doctor's bag and 3 other gundam pilots in the room.
"How was she able to summon our gundams without even sending an electrical signal?" questioned Duo. Heero shrugged staring at the 2 other gundam pilots making their entrance.
"Tea, gentlemen?" Quatre offered setting the tray down on Relena's nightstand. Wufei scoffed.
"Quatre! Why do an onnas job!? It's humiliating and dishonorable." Sally Po glared daggers at the chinese pilot.
"One more word Wufei and I'll shove a bedsheet into your mouth!" Wufei, grumbling something under his breath, left the room. Quatre handed Duo and Heero cups of tea while passing them out to everyone else.
"She might not wake up for a while," Sally paused taking a sip of the tea," Mhhm..Excellent Quatre. Anyway, From what I can tell from the external symptons nothings wrong with her. It might be something psychological."
"The gundams were in a circle around her. She fell to the ground and the gundams did the same." Heero said. Sally turned to look at the pilot.
"Really? How is that possible? There would have to be a signal of somesort sent to their control systems."
"That's how we set them up," Duo confirmed, "But the control panel we send them from is at the Preventor base. Nera wasn't even close to it. Maybe just down the road a little bit. And another thing, They came up from the ground. We have them in metal storage boxes. Unless someone opens the latch-" A knock interrupted Duo's statment.
"Heero, Duo, Quatre, Trowa! We just got an important message from the Preventor's base!" Noin's voice came from the door.
"We'll continue the conversation later boys." Sally said. The boys filed out of the room walking down the hallway towards the vid screen.
"Gundam Pilots Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, Quatre Reberba Winner, and Wufei Cheng. Your gundams were found missing at 1: 30 AM (AN: I don't know military time so sorry!). Three soldiers reported that the latches were not removed but the boxes were opened from the inside. We are toting back your gundams as we speak. Preventor Wind out(AN: Wind is Zechs..Comprende'?)
Heero's eyes narrowed. "The boxes were opened from the inside. The gundams must have opened them." Trowa folded his long arms over his chest.
"It isn't logical but it must have happened. If the latches weren't opened." He spoke. Wufei snorted before flying into a rage.
"Well that's impossible! The gundams have no mind of their own! They are mobile suits and therefore need a human to pilot them! If they didn't need humans to pilot them we wouldn't be here damnit!" Duo set his fists into his hips.
"No shit Wufei! Why do you think we're talking this over? So what's up? How is Deathscythe, Wing Zero, Sand Rock, Heavy Arms, and Altron," Duo glanced over at Wufei's glare," Erm..Nataku rather, able to move by themselves? Did the scientists upgrade them without us knowing?"
Heero shook his head vigorously. "It's the girl." Everyone looked at him as if he was crazy. He ignored their looks and started to explain his reasoning.
"Think about it..It never happened until she showed up and they all came towards her."
"But Heero we discussed that already," Duo said, "She couldn't have-" Heero shot Duo and the rest a look silencing them.
"The girl is the cause." With that, Heero left the room making his way towards Relena's room.
"Relena?" Sally entered the bathroom to see Relena staring into the mirror.
"Was it me?" She asked timidly. Ever since they had brought the ailing Nera back to the mansion she felt as if it was her fault. If only, She thought to herself,If only I hadn't been driving that fast.
"No. She recovered from that already and like I told you is was just a concussion. Nothing else." Relena ran the cold water splashing some on her face making her shudder.
"Is there any change?" Sally and Relena came face to face with the perfect soldier staring them down.
"No. She's not getting better but thankfully she's not getting worse." Heero nodded. Relena walked over to Sally.
"Could you leave us alone for a moment please?" Relena asked her. Sally hesitantly nodded.
"Sure. If anything happens I want to be contacted. I'll be downstairs." Sally exited closing the door quietly.
"You seem taken with her?" Relena asked smiling absentmindedly. Heero snorted.
"She is a danger..She's need to be eliminated." Relena scoffed sitting down on her desk across from him.
"Yes..You said that about me too." She eyed him daring him to reply.
"How do you know I still won't." Relena burst out laughing at his comment. He glared at her.
"You're funnier than you let show Heero.." Relena paused when Nera started to move. When she opened her eyes, They gave off some sort of glow almost.
"Nera? Are you alright?" Relena walked calmly to her bedside. Heero watched the girl nod solemnly.
"You should go get Sally.." He told her. Relena nodded. She left the room hesitantly though.
"What are you?" Heero asked. Nera saw his face. It was Heero..It must have been. She wanted to smile but it seemed like it hurt to do so. It hurt everytime she made contact with them as if they radiated something that harmed her.
"A human being.." Nera replied.
"Don't lie." He commanded. Nera's eyes started to moisten.
"I'm a human being. I swear," Her voice started to crack making Heero rake his fingers through his hair cursing,"I'm a freak, aren't I? You saw. Machines..Mobile suits..They all flock to me..They all come to me. They try to talk to me..But it hurts when they try to." Heero's eyes widened.
"It hurts? Just when they 'talk' to you or-" Nera shook her head feebily.
"When they spot me..When they find me. Whenever I start to get a headache I know their coming for me. The machines. I try to run from them but they follow me." She was now barely above a whisper.
'She emits electrical signals..'Heero gathered. He was throughly shocked.
Later on that night, while Sally and Relena were still tending to the girl, Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei sat in the parlor discussing the matter at hand.
"We can't let the gundams just run around like toys." Quatre said leaning forward. Trowa nodded.
"Imagine the destruction and death they would cause. They're too large to let loose in a city."
"How can we deactivate them then? Won't we have to self destruct?" Duo asked. Heero shook his head.
"It's simple. We merely pull a small plug in the circuit box. Until the matter at hand is all worked through, The gundams will have to be put in storage." The other pilots nodded their heads in agreement.
Relena yawned and headed towards her balcony. Nera watched her.
"Don't open them.." Nera said quietly. Sally walked over to the bedside for the hundredth time that morning.
"Fresh air would be best for you." Sally confirmed.
"They're out there.." SHe hoarsely whispered. Relena narrowed her eyes and pulled back the curtains.
The gundams were walking through the city tanks and armored cars draped from their shoulders tied to a fraying rope. They were headed directly towards the mansion raising dust and reaking havoc.
"HEERO!" Relena screamed. Sally quickly gathered Nera in her arms as she and Relena raced down the stairs swaying and trying to keep their balance. The Gundam pilots raced around the corner just as the tremors began to intensify. Sally Po and Relena in mid step fell rolling and bumping their way down the stairs. Nera however, gripped the railing as she swung herself from Sally's grip.
"Make them go away!" She screamed. Her head was now merely a mess of flashing lights, both bright and dim. Heero charged at her raising her with ease off her feet by her neck, using his right fist.
"You can talk to them. You tell them to go away." Nera looked down at Heero, tears falling from her eyes as pieces of the mansion's ceiling started to dissapate and fall to the ground.
"HEERO! STOP IT!" Heero turned just as a sharp stinging object hit his cheek. Relena had slapped him and had caught Nera in her arms.
Heero growled anger bustling in his face. Relena stood her ground.
"This is no time for elimination when there are millions of lives at stake. You know the gundams better than this girl you go shut them down." Her eyes narrowed at Heero slightly surprising everybody.
"C'mon!" Duo shouted leading the pilots outside. Heero got up, his left cheek bright red. Relena turned and watched him run out the door with everyone else. Tears brimmed her eyes as the realization of what she had done struck her like a thousand bricks.
"RELENA!" Nera shouted. Relena looked up as a especially large piece of the cement ceiling crumbled right before them. She grasped Nera's body to hers and bent over the young girl. She braced for impact but nothing happened.
"Relena...?" Relena looked down at Nera who was now staring up at the cement block hovering mere inches from the tops of their heads. As the cement block lifted, Wing Zero was behind it. Tanks and armoured cars that once had been pulling the suit now fell through the large hole in the roof.
The gundam spoke followed by a strangled cry from Nera. "I need you to go..To leave me alone.." Nera whimpered. Suddenly, Wing Zero's eyes dimmed and it bent forward.
"Get out of there!" came a voice. Relena turned to see Quatre and the others racing towards them. She pushed Nera over the railing as Wing Zero toppled onto the remains of the mansion. The young girl was caught by the especially tall Trowa. Relena followed suit just as the large head of the mobile suit fell at the direct place she was standing.
"Excellent job." She remarked. Heero narrowed his eyes at her.
"We did what you wanted." Relena glanced over at Nera who was now leaning against a still erect pillar in the nightgown Relena had borrowed her.
"She stays." Relena said. Noin and Zechs came running around the corner.
"Jesus christ!" Zechs shouted. He stopped as the pilots and Relena were staring each other down.
"She's dangerous Lena.." Duo warned. Relena held her head high almost defiantly.
"She stays "
