Here's 'chapter one', but because of FANficTION.NET it says chapter two! (Just making
a point) This chapter hasn't changed much, just some corrections. Now onto the story!!!!
Chapter One- Dangerous Repetition
(Flashback)
Special OZ Training School-
Heero Yuy sat at a wooden desk. It was a plain room, with two beds. Everything
was untouched, it would have looked unoccupied if it hadn't been for the silent boy
waiting for his laptop to boot up. The light was purposely turned dim. He wouldn't admit
it, but he liked it because the dim lights and the blaring screen reminded him of being in
Wing.
Before I could check for any new mail, I heard a sharp intake of breath behind me. In one
fluid motion I jumped out of my seat and grabbed my gun out of my belt. Judging from
the sound I heard, I aimed and fired without even fully turning around yet.
When I did look, I recognized a pair of shocked violet eyes. Before the bullet could exit
the shaft, I jerked my arm to the left.
Duo's face turned a bit paler and held his breath. His eyes were closed expectantly. After
a moment of silence, Duo opened his eyes. Regaining his composure, he turned to look at
the bullet a few centimeters away from his head, embedded into the wall.
"I should have known, Death can't die."
Before Duo could blame me, and continue his endless babble, I slid the gun back into my
belt. Irritated by the fact he'd been able to surprise me and that I nearly killed him said,
"You shouldn't have snuck in." It didn't provoke conversation, but it left room for it.
"I'm sorry. I'm good at sneaking in."
(End Flashback)
The machine gun in Heero's hand, reached the end of it's its clip. He let it drop loudly to
the floor. He listened for a moment, and not a single sound was heard. Satisfied, he began
to run down the corridor. He avoided looking at the dead bodies and did his best to keep
up his pace and not trip.
(Flashback)
Oz Colony 194 base-
"Warning! Warning! Detonation in one minute, twenty seconds."
So this is it? This is how I die? I wish it would happen sooner... The sooner I die the
sooner I'd be perfect. So ironic, I can do things not even machines can accomplish, and
the only thing I can't do is die. You'd think being Oz's main target, my life would end
sooner… But that'll all be changed soon.
"Warning! Warning! Detonation in sixty seconds."
I don't just hope Duo made it out safely, I depend on it. Duo had so much to live for, and
didn't deserve to die just because I felt like I accomplished my reason in life. This would
be the perfect end, to the perfect soldier. Ironic…
I heard the mechanical sound of the doors opening... An Oz soldier come to put me out of
my misery? Maybe I killed his comrade in arms, or even a brother. In that case, I
deserved to be killed by him.
To my horror, Duo staggered through the open doorway. Wounded and bleeding, he was
clutching his arm in pain. He looked at me sadly.
"Heero… you planed on dying here didn't you?"
Ignoring his words, I jumped up and ran to him. On closer inspection, I determined he
had been shot. Thankfully, the bullet missed anything vital and had pierced right through
his arm. It would be worse if the bullet was still in there.
"Warning! Warning! Detonation in 50 seconds!"
Panicking, I ripped part of my green tank top off and tied it around his wound. I made
sure it was tight. Standing up, I grabbed Duo's shoulders firmly. Looking him directly in
the eyes, I asked him "Why did you come here Duo?!"
"You were going to kill yourself."
"You could have died! You shouldn't have to die for someone like me!"
"Warning! Warning! Detonation in 30 seconds!"
"Escape Now!!!" I ordered him.
"Not without you."
Trying to wake Duo from his state of insanity, I squeezed his shoulders. "You are leaving
without me. That's an order!"
"I'm not leaving without you…" Duo's condition was getting worse from the blood loss.
Trying to save his energy, Duo rested his head against Heero's shoulder. There was no
way, he'd live his life without Heero. He'd miss him too much.
"Warning! Warning! Detonation in twenty seconds!"
There's no way I'm letting Duo die because of me…
Gently, so I wouldn't disturb his wound, I lifted him up. He was a lot lighter and more
fragile than he looked. Afraid to lose him, I held him tightly and began to run towards the
window. It was the only way.
The window was 30 yards away. I took deep breaths and with each step I stretched my
legs as far as they could go. I could feel the adrenaline pump in my vie
"Warning! Warning! Detonation in five seconds!"
'There's no way you're dying because of me!' I pushed my legs to run faster than I'd ever
run in my life.
"Warning! Warning! Detonation in one second!"
Nearing the window, I took a flying the leap. 'No way, you're dying Duo.' In midair I
turned, squeezing Duo even tighter. I felt my back, break through the glass of the
window. The flying shards ripped through my skin, sending my pain drives into overload.
It shredded my tank top to pieces and whenever I moved the lacerations felt as if they
would rip open further. Ignoring the pain, I held Duo even closer, determined not to let
him get hurt. Completely cleared of the window and the glass shards, both of us seemed
to stay suspended in midair. The moment passed and we began crashing down to reality,
to the ground. The building burst into flames behind us.
(End Flashback)
My mission was to get into the Oz control room, and destroy the collected data on the
pilots. There was NO data on me. Not anywhere Oz could get their filthy hands on
anyway. The mechanical security was higher than expected. Oz was getting too
careless… to think, they'd leave machines to fight for them. This was obviously not just
another Oz base. I'll have to examine it further. After the mission was completed of
course.
Further down the hall I passed an ominous looking door. It gave off a sense of familiarity
and foreboding and it called me to it.
'Later, I have a mission.
(Flashback)
Oz Underwater Earth Base-
Sitting in the cockpit of Wing, I took aim on the underwater base. It was perfectly
located. It bordered on the edge of the Sanc Kingdom. Using the ocean as their cover, it
would painfully easy to take it over.
'As if it isn't easy enough already.'
It was like an in and out mission. It should have been easy. But it wasn't. If I did destroy
the base, the thousands of soldiers would be alive one second and dead the next. And it
wasn't like I could tell to get out because I wanted to destroy their base.
Dying instantly held no appeal to me. I wanted to die slowly, with time to think over my
life and time to reminisce. Even if all my memories were of war and training. At least I
would die happy, thinking of the other pilots and…Duo.
I took aim on the intricate network of bombs set below the base. The base still had no
clue it was sitting on 3k pounds of explosives? Must have taken a lot of secrecy. Wonder
who it was. Dr. J hadn't told me. He didn't want me emotionally attached to the other
pilots, so he rarely mentioned the other 5 Gundam pilots.
I could see the target I was supposed to hit. A large explosive connected to many other
explosives. Death would be instant. They wouldn't know what hit them…
Wait! It must have been Duo that set the explosives! He's the only one that is secretive
enough to do it!
I already knew I cared about Duo. Maybe in a best friend sort of way, maybe something
more. Before I met Duo, I've never even had a friend. How could I discern my feelings, if
I had no prior experience? It's not like Dr. J has a 'Get in touch with your inner-self
course'. So all I knew was that I cared about Duo. That was all I needed to know. I had
failed. I compromised my mission, the victory, and the lives of those around me. Maybe
the guilt was my punishment for all the mistakes I've made.
I'm killing them. I should make it less painful. But…I'd be more hurt if I didn't get a
chance to say goodbye to Duo. Even if only in my mind. 'No one cares what you think
Heero!!' J's words fought it's way into my mind. 'They'll only care about you, after you
finish the mission and become the perfect soldier!!!'
Pushing my thoughts to the back of my mind, I re-aimed Wing's Twin Buster rifles at the
large explosive. For a second I could feel the energy gather around me. Then in an
instant, the energy was fired, in a single deadly been of electricity.
After a series of explosions, the ground began to shake. The sea-green ocean water
darkened into a sickly black color. Surveying the area, Heero saw a slim figure dressed
from head to foot in black. The cliff began to shake violently and the person lost his
footing and fell headfirst into the black ocean. A long braid trailing behind him…
"Duo!!"
I was in a state of pure disbelief. Taking action immediately, I guided Wing over to where
I saw Duo fall in. Discarding my tank top, I opened the cockpit and jumped out.
With a splash, Heero disappeared into the depths of the murky water. Moments later
Wing crashed into the sandy shore causing another tremor to travel throughout the
mountains.
I was searching blindly. I couldn't see anything. Kicking my legs hard, in no time I was
20 feet under. I could no longer tell where the sea floor was. Perhaps I had swum into a
large underwater cavern and wouldn't make it to the surface in time?
I felt surging currents around my midsection. It was too big to be a fish…could it be a
dolphin… or a shark?
Returning to an upright position, Heero felt the water parting. Meaning something
aerodynamic and huge was coming directly towards him.
Dolphins aren't made to go that fast. It must be a shark…
Still unable to see, I waited until I could hear the sound of the shark gliding through the
water directly in front of me. Using my super human reflexes, I did a swift back flip,
kicking the shark in it's unprotected under belly.
The shark learned all too well, of Heero's swift agility and unadulterated power. Sensing
a weaker prey nearby the shark sped off.
Heero felt the shark turn and leave. The shark had given up too easily… 'There's weaker
prey nearby… Duo!!' With a burst of speed, he swam after the shark.
I knew I would have to get to Duo before the shark did. For some reasons my skills
drastically improved. I grudgingly acknowledged that it was probably by my desperation
to save Duo. My speed matched the sharks pace. Knowing that Duo might soon run out of
air soon, I surpassed the shark's speed.
I kept swimming. Praying that Duo would be alright.
'Damn it! Where the hell is he?!' Miraculously I felt my hands brush past a sinking body.
Frantically I grabbed him, not wanting to waste time if it was just a dead Oz official.
'Is it him? Is it really him?'
I felt my arms encircle a familiar body. For the first time in my life I was giddy. 'It's him!
It's him!' Quickly I sobered up. I felt for a pulse. It was barely there, but it was there! I
felt myself undergo another wave of happiness. Keeping a tight grip on the unconscious
Duo in my arms I began to kick up towards the surface.
Suddenly the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end…
The shark had returned… and it was angry that I'd taken it's meal…
Hi! It's like 2am, and I am soooooooooooooooo tired that I feel like passing oit!!!! Not to
mention that I'm typing with one hand so typing this is taking v---e-----r-----y long.
