"What the hell do you think you were trying to do, Relena?" The captain said harshly, "Trying to get away? Well it failed."
Relena stared at the ground. 'Where are you Heero?' she thought frantically.
"You think he will come back for you. Well you are wrong. It isn't possible." He said
Relena looked up in alarm only to see the CIC laughing. "Our two girls, Kay and Natalie are trained martial artists. They reported back to say that Heero did not show up at the party with any Gundams. Therefore, something must've happened to him." He said cruelly.
"Wha…" Relena said. Her mouth was ajar. She stumbled back onto the wall and sank to the floor in shock and surprise. "No…"
"That's right. Now you are stuck with us." Laughed the CIC.
Relena stared at the laughing CIC. Her eyes sent daggers to him and she imagined them piercing his side. She was breathing heavily and her heart felt like it weighed ten times as much.
"I hate you…" Relena whispered raspily.
"What did you say?" A nearby soldier said rudely.
"I hate you! I hate you all!" she screamed.
"We aren't fond of you either, little girl." The CIC said before turning back to the screen.
"You are all going to die! I'm gonna…"
This time the captain had lost it. He picked her up by the cuff of her dress. "Your gonna what?! What are you gonna do?!" he yelled as he slapped her across the face.
"You shit head!" she yelled back, "you know what I am going to do?! I'm gonna rip you throat out of your neck! I'm going to kill you…you asshole!"
The CIC raised his hand again but Relena grabbed his throat and squeezed. The CIC gagged and tried to take Relena's hand off his neck. Relena held on tighter and the captain started twisting and turning.
"H-Hey! You iddddiots. Get this Bi-tch off of me!"
A soldier came a yanked Relena off. She wriggled out of his arms and jumped onto the CIC again. She clawed at his face and managed to kick him in his gut.
"I hate you!" She whispered in his ear.
She took hold of his neck once again but this time something happened. A man, hidden by his hat that covered his eyes came up and gently took hold of her arm. She knew then it was time to lay off. She stood up as five guards came up to secure her. Before they could touch her, this mysterious guy took off his hat. There, with his gun facing the CIC stood Heero.
"Heero!" Relena yelled.
Heero motioned for her to stay back as he pointed the gun to the CIC's head.
"One move and he's dead!" he said, "Relena, come here."
Relena walked over, watching everyone's moves. With Heero behind the gun, she figured, nothing could happen. She figured wrong.
Before she reached Heero, a soldier grabbed her from behind. He put is arm around her neck and faced her to Heero. "Want the girl alive? Drop the gun."
"I don't want the girl. Kill her for all I care." He said.
Relena's mouth dropped. "What…what are you talking about?"
The soldier, figuring that Relena didn't provide any more protection, threw her to the floor and dived behind a control panel. He dived too late and Heero shot him in the shoulder.
"Anymore movements and I'll blow the ship." He warned.
"Relena, come here." He said again. He paid more attention to the movement of the CIC and the other soldiers.
He whispered in her ear, "Trowa is waiting in the ship entrance. Go there. He will take you to safety. I will meet you there."
"I want to say with you, Heero." She replied.
A soldier stood up and almost hit Heero. Relena kicked him down.
"Where did you learn that?" Heero asked.
"You taught me. A long time ago." Relena answered, smiling.
Heero gently pushed her toward the door. "Go"
"We will wait for you" she said and ran out before he could answer.
Relena ran down the hall and turned the corner. She counted three doors down and opened it. There stood Trowa with his gun pointed toward her head.
"Whoa!" she yelled as she pushed it away, "What are you trying to do, kill me!"
"Sorry. You can't be to sure, you know?" Trowa said.
"Whatever. We have to wait for Heero. Be ready to leave. When he comes running, he will probably have a tail." She said.
"Your right. Better get into Heavyarms, Relena." he said.
"Alright." She said. She turned around to walk toward Trowa's Gundam.
She turned around at the sound of footsteps. Around the corner Heero appeared. Right after he turned the corner, Relena saw gunshots hit the wall. She took a step back in fear. Heero, before running past her, grabbed her by the waist and jumped into the cockpit of Wing 0. Relena fell into the back still shocked.
"Are you all right?" Heero asked.
"Huh? Oh yes. I'm fine. How about you?" Relena said, a little concerned.
"I'm fine."
"Heero. The first thing you do when we get back is tell me the whole story since you left to go get Trowa's Gundam."
"Ok." He answered as the glided through the starry blackness.
