Chapter 1: Ambushed
She was sitting on a branch near his estate and saw him running after her; of course he didn't see her sitting on the branch because her green jacket camouflaged her. 'What the hell does he think he's doing. I know they know my secret, who's it to blame that I fell right into their trap. Lucky me.' she thought. As soon he ran pass by the tree she was sitting on she followed him. She jumped from tree to tree, finally stopping in open meadow.
Quatre looked around, 'She's not here. She couldn't be that fast.' he thought. As he turned around a sharp knife landed near his foot.
"Why are you following me?" asked a female voice.
"Quit playing games, Dawn. I know its you." replied Quatre. He looked around looking for her.
"Smart boy. But you haven't answered my question yet. Why are you following me?" she was still hidden behind some trees.
"We want to know who you are." answered Quatre. 'Where is she? I'm sitting duck here in the wide opens. She can attack me anywhere.' thought Quatre. He was still searching for her.
"WE? Who do you mean by 'WE'? asked Dawn she jumps out of her hiding place facing him.
"WE as in all 5 of us. We don't know what your intention are but we do know that you're here to kill all of us." explained Quatre. She was the same as he and the others have met last night but somehow her expression wasn't the same. It was full of anger and vicissitude expressions. When Quatre saw the expression on her face he felted a sharp cold froze in his body. 'What happen to her? She look so…so different."
"That's partially true. But…." she was cut off by Quatre
"You want the Gundams."
"You got that right," said Dawn with an evil look, a look that can scare the half shit out of you. "and I'm going to get all 5 of them including your lives." She went into her sleeves and threw a dagger straight toward Quatre but a gun shot toward the aiming dagger and missed Quatre. She looked toward where the gunshot fired. There she saw the other 4, with Heero holding the aimed gun at her. "So your all here, you just made my job easier and faster."
"Dawn!" yelled Quatre, and Dawn looked at his direction "But why? Why do you want to kill us all?" asked Quatre.
"A simple answer. Revenge!" answered Dawn and this time she took out more dagger aiming toward Quatre and the other Gundam Pilot. Not allowing them to question her she quickly threw the dagger toward them.
"Everyone quickly move out of the way." Yelled Wufei, as he uses his Katana to quickly blocks the aimed dagger, but even if it was a perfect aim at them they quickly scrambled away from her aim. Dawn was standing in her position not moving an inch. Heero and Trowa aimed their gun at her but she uses her Sai and dagger to blocked it with lightning speed. She then threw another dozen of knife at them even though not one of the dagger she threw has a successful rate of a hit on the pilot but she knew one aim was perfect and it hit Quatre's left shoulder. He was standing there in lost in confusion. 'Why? Why is she attacking us? I thought we were friends?' thoughts were wondering around his mind and not noticing an aim dagger aimed straight toward him as he ran toward her.
"Ahh…." Screamed Quatre in pain, he covers his arm from letting the blood to flow and he fell on to his knee gasping the sharp pain that ran through his body.
"QUATRE!!!" all four of them shouted at once. Duo quickly went to his aid. All of a sudden a strong wind blew across where all the people were. They all looked behind and saw a Leo mobile suit aim at the Gundam pilots and Dawn.
"It's a Mobile suit." Yelled Trowa, who was now beside Quatre. Heero and Wufei weren't seen at all at the scene.
"Well done, Dawn." Said a male voice from over the mic. Dawn quickly turned around and recognized the voice.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE. I TOLD YOU I CAN COMPLETE THE MISSION MYSELF." Yelled Dawn.
"That's what you said last time and did you?" questioned the pilot of Leo. She paused.
She looked down and quietly answered back. "No"
"See…that's why you're not fitted for this job. You don't even complete your mission because you always failed to finish it. Ha… you make me laugh. You and your Ninja skills are no match for me." He said coolly. She looked up angrily glaring at him for mocking her skills.
"If it wasn't for me you wouldn't be alive without my help."
"Still carrying the past, I see. Well, it ain't gonna to help now sister because your finish."
"What!"
"I have taken orders from the highest supreme to eliminate you and the Gundam pilots. My first kill will be them." He aimed a shot at them.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" she quickly tries to run toward them, when she took the first step the Leo's pilot fired. The bullet missed her but it stopped her. There was too much smoke and she couldn't see where the others were. When it cleared away she saw a big gap hole between the Gundam pilots and herself. The three pilots were unharmed, they've covered their injured friend with their own body. She quickly ran to their side to see if they were all right. She gave a small sigh of relief. She bends down and told the other two to go get their Gundam and prepare for a battle. At first, Duo protested.
"Why should we listen to you. You nearly got us killed."
"Just do it damn it." Duo was about to continue but Trowa shut him up.
"There's no time to argue that now, Duo." Taking his attention to the young ninja "I'm supposing there are more mobile suit is coming toward our way." Guessed Trowa. Dawn nodded so Trowa and Duo left leaving Quatre with Dawn.
"Quatre are all right?" she tries to take the dagger out of his shoulder but when her cold finger touched the dagger and the warm blood he hissed at the slightest touch, pain that ran through his body again. "I'm…I'm sorry." When Quatre heard that she said sorry, he looked at her with his good eyes and in surprised he wondered why she have to be so sorry about.
The Leo's pilot laughed "Ha Ha Ha…. You're so naïve. You and your belief on kindness, you think you can survive the world of war with just kindness alone. It's more than that."
"Yeah right. How about you? You've given up already. I told you about who our enemy was but instead you trick me in joining my worst enemy. In order to save my parents freedom I have to assassinate all those innocent people so you people can let them go." She starts to cry and her anger starts to grow. She looks up to the Leo "You can still turn back, become the person I met before this have happen." She pleaded.
"Sorry. There's no turning back for me." Dawn sweared that the pilot was crying but wasn't sure.
"…" Quatre couldn't say anything, he had no idea what was going on but just to listen the conversation between her and the Leo's pilot conversation.
"Oh well, it was fun but you must die now." The Leo's pilot suddenly changed back to himself and aimed its weapon at both Dawn and Quatre. When she saw the aiming weapon she quickly picked Quatre up, despise his weight. She was mid way near the wood and the Leo fired. She lost her footing by the blast, she quickly turned around and landed on her back. Her arm had let go of Quatre and both landed on the ground on separate direction, not noticing the blast created the falling tree and it crashed landed on her arm.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH…" She shrieked, she couldn't move her right arm. The enormous pain shot through her body, she tried to pull her arm out but she couldn't because of the tree's weight.
"Dawn don't move your going to make it worst." Quatre quickly went to her side
"Oh…what a pity. Two injured soldiers, one got stab and the other have a broken arm. I guess you won't be able to use your Ninja skills ever again."
'No.' thought Dawn. 'It's not true. It's not.' She was not showing any pain expression. But it sure hurts.
"Since my last aim was really bad I guess I've better get serious." This time the pilot took aim and prepares to shoot both young teens. Just when the Leo's pilot was about to pull the trigger, a strong blast blasted through the Leo and explodes.
"JJJJJJJJJJOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" She watched as her friend in the MS exploded. "No…." in a shallow whisper and tears came down her cheeks. Her vision became blurry and passed out.
There standing was Wing Zero, and the other 3 in their respected Gundams. Just as Wing Zero shot down one the rest of the enemy mobile suit attacked. Wing Zero, Deathscythe Hell, and Altron went to defeat the mobile suit while Heavyarms went to help Quatre and Dawn.
Heavyarms went to remove the tree, as he did on his intercom he replied "Quatre take her to a safe place after that see if you can still help." Quatre nodded and he picked Dawn up and ran to the woods, even though he was also injured. When Quatre disappeared in the forest with Dawn, the four Gundams went to attack the enemy troops.
***Later***
The four tired Gundams have finally defeated all the mobile suits in the area and received numerous damages on their respected machine. They didn't see Quatre joined them in the battle, they thought maybe he was still in trouble so they quickly returned back to their secretive hanger and the estate to see if the two injured people returned. As they stepped into the house they found no one.
"They're not back yet." Replied Trowa.
"Let's' go back and check to see if they're still out there." Suggested Duo. The others nodded in agreement and went back to search the injured two.
***Somewhere in the woods****
Dawn started to stir from her unconsciousness, when she opens her eye she saw the cute blonde carrying her. 'What just happen?' she asked herself. A flashback came back 'Nevermind.' Quatre felted her awakening, he needed to find a place out of the rain. He looked around and found a cave near a riverbank.
"Hey are you alright?" he asked as he set her down.
She shook her head "Yeah, a bit. A little headache I guess." When she tried using her right arm to hold her head to stop it from spinning. "Aahhh…" She cried out in pain holding her right arm.
"Hey don't move that." He cried and grabs on to her shoulders. "Let me see that." he looked closer not moving the fractured arm. She looks at him as he slowly did the inspection. She ask herself 'Why is he treating me so nice after what I tried to do to him and his friends?'
"Because we're friends." She looked at him weirdly. "I know you were trying to kill us but killing us won't do any good to you or your ego." She chuckles at his remark but suddenly changed back to the cold demeanor and replied
"I didn't have any choice…"
"To kill us." Finishing her sentence "I don't know what is going on between you and the people your working for but if you are willing to tell us we will help you in every way we can." She looked away from him, Quatre continues the inspection on her arm to see if there was any fractures. As he got up to her arm, where the broken bone is, she pulls away in pain.
"OW! THAT HURT! She screamed, Quatre quickly pull back a bit surprised
"S…sorry. I didn't mean to … I… I was just…." He stuttered.
"Its okay." Her face darken "I didn't mean to scream at you. It just that…" tears started to come out "if I can't finish my mission I'll never see…see.."
"See who?" asked Quatre
"I'll never see my parents ever again." Letting it all out. Quatre blinked in a surprise that she is willing to give up her lives just to free her parents. Quatre looked at her with full sympathy.
"I'm sorry." He replied back.
"It's not your fault, you don't have to say you're sorry. It's my problem and I will complete it one way or another." She wipes her tears away and looked up to the sky. Thinking maybe heavens above hear her small cry. Quatre on the other hand was thinking if she couldn't kill us what are the consequences for her if she doesn't. He knows what happen earlier in the meadows. But what will happen later on. He doesn't want to bother answering the question, he looked around and found two sticks that will keep her fracture arm in place, until she gets further medical attention, he took out his handkerchief and ripped it into a long strap. He placed her arm with two sticks on both sides of her arm and wrapped it around her arm by not placing any pressure on it, he placed the folded the bandage into a triangular form; using the remaining ripped handkerchief and placed it around her neck.
"There.." whipping small sweats off his forehead "I think that should do it."
"Thanks but Quatre…your shoulder." He looks at it and look back at her.
"Its nothing really." she looked at it closely.
"Its deep but its' not that deep. Let me get it out." She motioned herself closer to him.
"No, its okay." Backing off.
"Hold still." She said in a stern commanded voice and he obeyed. She took hold of the handle with her left arm to the dagger and slowly tries to pull it out.
"AAAAHHHHH…" he cries out in a sharp pain grabbing hold of his shoulder. She quickly let go of the handle.
She gasped "Quatre…I'm sorry." She took another look at it again and blushed. 'How am I going to say this?' She pondered for a second 'Well you have no choice, he is losing a lot of blood.' She coughs and responded "Quatre, I'm going to take off your shirt." He looked at her surprisingly by her statement and blushed. "I mean…I need you to take off your shirt so I can take the dagger out." She turns around from him "Just open half of your shirt so I can just get that part out." He nodded and he slowly unbuttons off his shirt revealing his well tone chest.
"Okay." He responded. When she turned around she found herself gazing at his chest and muscled. 'OH MY GOD!! Not that he's cute but hot. I mean look at that. He must carrying a 6 pack.' She shook the little perverted voice out of her head and proceeded to take the dagger out.
"It's going to hurt." she said and took hold of the handle using her left hand.
Quatre placed both his hands over hers and looks into her light brown eyes "I trust you." She looks back at him weirdly and wonders 'Trust me? After what I tried to do with you and your friends, you still trust me? You are one weird guy Quatre.' Dawn starts to pulls the dagger with all her might, Quatre with his hands on top of hers helps too.
Quatre cried out in pain as the dagger is pulled out. "Aaahhh…" it echoed through the woods.
Just then not far away where the two people were, Duo heard the scream "QUATRE!" he runs to where he heard the scream. He used the walkie-talkie and communicated with the others. "Hey you guys I found where Quatre is. He's on the river side." Said Duo.
"Got it Duo, well meet you there. Make sure nothing happens to him." Commanded Heero.
"Okay I'll see you guys there." Duo kept running until he saw what he saw, Dawn stabbing the dagger into Quatre's shoulder.
"Get away from him!" yelled Duo as he took out a gun from his back and shot her in the arm. She looks up and saw Duo open fire on her. The impact was strong, the bullet was shot right into her right and sent her flying near the riverbank pulling the dagger out with her. She landed with a 'THUD'. She tries to get up but fell back into unconscious.
The other have arrives and saw the incident.
"Quatre are you alright?" ask the emotionless Heero. Trowa went to his side and wrap his wounds with the first aid kit he brought along with him. Quatre with wide eyes looked at the motionless body.
Quatre looked at Duo and then back at Dawn, his face darken and asked "Duo…why?" came a quiet voice "Why did you have to shoot her." He raises his voice.
"Quatre?" asked Duo who was confused.
"Quatre what just happen here." Demanded the Chinese pilot.
"She was helping me not stabbing me!" said Quatre as slowly got up with the help of his tall pilot and walked over to the motionless body. He kneeled down next to her and saw that she was still alive but losing a lot of blood.
"She's still alive!!! Quick carry her back to our place!!!" commanded Quatre.
