Sorry that there are such lengths between updates, don't complain to me. Call Conard High school and tell them to give less homework.
His voice a quite emotionless monotone Trowa stared at Wu Fei and said "Get in."
Wu Fei, not wanting to argue with the gun followed the pilot into the small apartment. The apartment was empty except for the furniture, which he assumed came with it. The windows covered with drapes, and the drapes backed by bulletproof Teflon.
"Who are you?" Trowa asked Wu Fei with out changing the position of the gun, currently aimed at his head.
"You are Trowa Barton"
Trowa said nothing as Wu Fei continued. "You pilot the mobile suit known to OZ as 04, a heavily armed suit with out flight capabilities."
He could see Trowa increases the pressure on the trigger slightly. "He thinks I am an OZ assassin, as I would under the same circumstances. He will kill me if I do not make my case" he thought.
"In 3 days OZ will launch a coup d'état against the Federation. I can destroy both at the same time if you corroborate with me." He said.
"Who are you?" Trowa asked again, his eyes and gun never leaving Wu Fei.
"You have heard of the meeting of the Federation leadership at New Edwards Air Force Base, OZ made sure that all of the Gundam pilots know about it." He continued, ignoring Trowa's questions. "The expect us to attack, whereupon Treize will split the leaders into two groups. We will kill the doves, while Treize will use one of the hawks to declare war on the colonies. With the vacuum in leadership, OZ will launch a take over of Federation bases and territories. Using the ensuing confusion to their advantage they will most likely have control of the Earth with in 96 hours."
"We shouldn't interfere." Trowa said
"Explain." Wu Fei demanded, wanting to see how smart this pilot was. Had he, independently and with out the help of OZ, found out about the coup d'état?
"Are mission was to destroy the Federation. There is no difference if I do it or if OZ does. The mission is all that matters."
Wu Fei felt disappointed and relived at the same time. On one hand he was glad that Trowa didn't yet know about Trieze's plans after the coup. He was taught early on that the only good information was the information that he alone knew. But it was disappointing the Trowa didn't see that there was no difference between OZ and the Federation.
"But," Wu Fei replied, "What if we could destroy both at the same time? That would complete the letter and the sprit of the mission."
"The mission has no sprit. We were created for a purpose. Mine was to destroy the Federation. As long as the mission is finished, I am satisfied."
"You Fool!" Wu Fei uncharacteristically shouted. Trowa reinforced his grip on the gun and shifted his eyes to see if he could detect any investigation into the yell. "We are here to protect the colonies from the corrupt governments of Earth. It doesn't matter what the rulers of Earth call themselves, the Federation or OZ, they are still run by the same people with the same goals and methods. If we mealy destroy the Federation, we just allow Earth to change the masks and keep on oppressing the Colonies, we do nothing, and we change nothing. In order to protect the colonies, to protect the weak, we must destroy all that would oppress them."
"Hmmm." Trowa mumbled, "Your mission, while the outcome seems preferential, presents an unacceptable risk in exposing us to an unknown amount of enemy forces"
"Idiot" Wu Fei grumbled, calming down as he realized that getting angry would not bring the pilot over to his side. "It does not matter what their numbers are, we are more powerful. The Federation and OZ can do nothing against us when we fight solo. Think about what two Gundams can do."
"Maybe we are powerful, but we are not strong. Strength is the ability to control power. Maybe we will have that in the future, and at that time we will attempt to destroy OZ."
Wu Fei crouched down, his head still tracked by the barrel of Trowa's pistol. "He's wrong," he thought "but so am I. We can destroy OZ and the federation in one swoop. But the attack on Treize's Armada is dangerous, unknown forces, unknown variables. But there are no risks that will prevent me from avenging Nataku, from killing Treize. I have to have Trowa, I have to do this, no matter what the cost."
"You must want something." Wu Fei said, hoping to gain Trowa's cooperation by making a deal with him. "I do have some contacts, I can get you things."
Trowa sighed a looked down as if shamed. For the first time Wu Fei saw emotion in Trowa's face and blood filled his cheeks. "I want some information on another pilot. His name is Quatra Rabba Winner. I want you to get everything that OZ and every other intelligence agency has on him, and then I want you to destroy all copies of it, erase him completely."
"Done." Wu Fei replied without thinking. "We will rendezvous in 2 days at 1600 hours in the Kenya refuel station. I will reveal the rest of the attack plan at that time."
To be continued
Sorry that this is so bad, its really just filler for the next chapter that will be Much Much Much better. But I did decide to add in a Trowa/Quatra sub-plot. Flame me at Baronben@home.com
