Last time:
"Sou
ka… demo, the fight is going extremely well so far, they're doing much better
with Usagi on the team. I'm sure nothing will happen. She'll be fine Haruka,"
he consoled her. "With you taking care of her Gundam for the last 2 years,
there's nothing that could go wrong with it!"
"But sir…" Haruka was cut short as a soldier came running
up to him, eyes wide. "Doctor J! Gundam Starlight has just been captured by
Oz!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soldiers hurried around the huge machine, whispering
excitedly among themselves. "Zechs is such a great pilot!" enthused one.
"Hai! Imagine, catching not only one of the elusive
Gundam pilots, but also the Gundam itself!" added another.
"Stop chattering like a bunch of idiots and get working!
Zechs wants to see the pilot! Quickly, open the hatch," barked their superior,
stalking towards them. The young men scattered and hurried to do as they were
told.
Slowly, the hatch opened to reveal the unconscious pilot
inside. There was an audible gasp as they saw the person within.
"What is it?" Zechs entered the hangar, blue eyes
curious.
"S-sir! The pilot of this Gundam is… is a girl!" one of
the subordinates stammered.
Blue eyes wide, he stared at him. "What was that?"
"See for yourself." The general in charge stepped
forward, carrying the unconscious Usagi in his arms.
Taking in the bruises and cuts that marred her delicate
features, the pilot of Tallgeese glared at the people surrounding them. "Well,
why have her wounds been left unattended? Even if she is a pilot of the
colonies, she is still a lady," he snapped.
"Hai!" The
general took the sleeping girl to the clinic as Zechs watched them
thoughtfully.
"So… the pilot of Gundam Starlight is a girl… First those
boys, now this… How intriguing. Treize-sama will want to hear of this…" the
young man trailed off as he strode off to tell his friend and leader the
strange outcome of events.
"Oh no! Something's wrong with Starlight!" Usagi
gasped as a red blinking light told her something was amiss with her precious
Gundam.
"Usa, what's wrong?" Quatre noticed the sudden stop of the
black and silver machine.
"Quatre! The system's malfunctioning!" she cried out.
Just then, at least a thousand MDs surrounded them. "We
have to get out of here," Heero's face came from the screen. "They'll capture
us if we don't hurry."
"But Usagi's Gundam isn't working! We can't leave her!"
Duo yelled, having overheard their conversation as he held of their attackers.
"No excuses. She'll have to fend for herself," the stoic
Perfect Soldier's voice had an edge to it, as if he didn't want to say this.
Usagi winced as she was hit from behind. A Gundam loomed
over her, making her gasp audibly.
Hearing this, the other pilots turned. "Tallgeese,"
Trowa's single visible eye narrowed.
"That baka Zechs is here… Yuy! We can't hold them off
forever!" Wufei snarled, fighting off 3 opponents at time.
"We have to retreat!" Duo agreed. "But what about Usagi?"
he added, not wanting to leave the girl in Oz's clutches.
"We'll return for her!" Heero maneuvered Wing Gundam and
grabbed Sandrock.
"No! I can't lose her! Not now!!!" Quatre yelled as he
struggled in Heero's grasp. There was a yell of pain as Tallgeese mercilessly
attacked Usagi's Gundam. "USA!!!"
"We'll be back for her, Quatre," Trowa's voice was
quieter than usual as her helped Heero drag Sandrock off.
"Quatre, don't worry about me…" Usagi's weak voice came
form the radio. "Go, or they'll capture you too…" she trailed off as her eyes
fluttered close with exhaustion.
"Usagi!!!" The last thing she saw
before she completely passed out, was Quatre's tear-streaked face over the
communicator as his comrades pulled him away. Then, darkness came.
"Quatre!"
Usagi jerked awake. She looked
around the strange room. "Doko…?" she whispered before images of the fight came
back to her. "That's right! Tallgeese and hundreds of mobiles suits came…
Something was wrong with Starlight… That must mean… I've been captured by Oz!"
The
door opened to reveal a young man in his early twenties with blondish-white
hair and blue eyes paler that even the sky.
"Yokata.
You're awake I see," he observed quietly. "Well, once you've rested, we need to
have a little chat. Treize-sama wants to have a talk with you, young lady."
With that, he shut the door quietly and locked it.
Once
he was gone, Usagi hugged her knees and began to cry softly. Even though she
had gone through several missions and was a pilot, in truth she was just a
young girl forced to grow up too fast. She had never been in a situation such
as this. "Quatre…" she whimpered,
closing her eyes tightly. "Help me…"
