Even before he awoke, Wu Fei knew that he was captured. Some subconscious part of him felt the restraints holding his arms and legs. But he knew what to do; he had spent months training for this situation. He forced himself into a meditative trance were he could control his heart and respiration rate. Then, ever so gently, he tested the bonds. "Standard issue OZ medi-restraints. I should be able to get out of them rather easily." He thought.
"He's awake" he heard an unfamiliar voice say, "Take a look at this muscle tension graph, your Excellency, see here in the left and right bi and triceps. Its either he's awake and testing the strength of the restraints or he has muscle spasms. But if he is who you say he is, sir, I don't think they would pick someone with a tick. Yah, the kid that they picked up did the same thing in the Federation Military Hospital, but they only noticed after they check the records after the explosion."
"You might as well open your eyes, little boy, we know that you are awake and you have an important visitor." The more familiar voice of Lady Une said.
Wu Fei kept his eyes closed, trying to figure out his next move. "I've already told her about Phase 1, but I need to prove my self to her so she'll trust me." He thought.
"So this is the boy who is causing so much trouble to the Marine? You know there are a few admirals who would like to see you hanged," a voice said.
The
voice made Wu Fei's eye's bolt open. He didn't need sight to confirm whom the
voice came from though. He had studied it for years, learning its every pitch
and inflection. His mind screamed 'Treize Khushrenada'
Immediately he
recalled all the ways to kill a man using one's hands "Hit the trachea and
crush the esophagus, death in 3 minutes. Gouge the eyes and thrust figures into
the brain, death in 30 seconds. Crush the Adam's Apple, death in 5 minutes.
Punch the nasal cavity through the brain, instant death."
But then the more
rational part of his mind took over. "It will take 3 seconds to get my hands
free. Then it will take 7 seconds to free my legs. There are 3 armed guards and
Lady Une. I will be restrained and knocked out. I will never have a chance to
kill Treize again."
"Forgive me, Nataku. I
live for you, I die for you, I fight for you, I will destroy OZ and kill Treize
in your name and your name alone."
Wu Fei for the first
time looked upon his enemy. He had seen his picture thousands of times before,
but all of those pictures had either been released by OZ PR or taken by the
media at carefully choreographed press conferences. At times like those, Treize
looked almost like a God, his face shining thanks to a professional makeup
artist, his uniform perfectly pressed.
But what Wu Fei saw
was a harried young man who for the first time in his life felt out of his
depth. One of the reasons OZ won so many victories was because it always had a
technical advantage. First it was mobile suits verses solders, now it was
Taurses verse Leos. OZ won not only because it had better pilots, but also
because it had better engineers.
But the Gundams had
destroyed this balance, and Treize was the first to realize this. The nights
that he had spent trying to find the Gundam's next target, the meals he spiked
trying to find a way to defeat them had taken their toll. His normally bright
face was slack and covered with stubble. But his eyes, Wu Fei saw, though blood
shot held a brightness that said that this man not a mere bureaucrat that sent
solders to their death with out a second thought. The eyes told him that that
here was a man who solders would flock to, a man who would inspire their
loyalty, a man who solders would die for.
"He will be hard to
kill, Nataku" Wu Fei thought with out taking his eyes from Treize, "but he will
breath his last breath at my hands."
Treize began to speak,
"I'm sorry for the restraints, but Lady Une insisted after your performance
yesterday. I must congratulate you on that, not many people have the ability to
make it through the security system. You are truly a skilled young man."
Treize was tapped on
the shoulder by an officer who whispered something in his ear. "It looks like
one of your compatriots stuck again," Treize said as he turned to leave, "Lady
Une will continue the briefing."
Lady Une stood up and
removed the restraints once the door had closed behind Treize. "I understand
that you must keep up appearances. Therefore I will assign you targets to
destroy that will benefit both you and Treize-samma. Your first target will be
the Lake Victoria base. This base both produces the next generation Taurus mobile
suit, and trains its pilots. Treize-samma does not like this mobile suit
because its automated battle software has the ability to override the pilot's
commands, Treize-samma does not agree with this. We will downgrade the
security…"
"I don't need that,"
Wu Fei interrupted, "I will destroy the base on my own."
"Okay" she replied,
"Afterwards, we will contact you with your next mission."
"How? I will not give
you my location or my plans."
"OZ intelligence is
very good at what they do"
Wu Fei does some kickass motorcycle driving, bombs Lake Victoria,
pisses Noin Off, I won't write it, watch the episode.
