Dark Shadows
Chapter Three: The Arrival
==================================================================
Duo stared out the window of the shuttle. Space loomed before him, seemingly endless. In the distance he saw the massive structure of ZXX-9199, the first colony of the L6 cluster. He watched for a few minutes when his mind stumbled on something he never noticed before. He looked over at Heero, who, as always, was unnervingly quiet.
"Hey Heero ... how did you know that these 'assassins' are at L6?"
Heero grunted in response.
Duo rolled his eyes. "Oh and what's that supposed to mean? I'm not a monkey ya know, I can't understand grunts."
Heero grunted.
Duo shook his head. "Why do I even try...."
Trowa pressed some buttons on the shuttle he and Quatre "borrowed." He was back in his usual navy blue turtleneck, with blue jeans. Quatre had washed up and was now dressed in reletively normal clothes so no one would recognize him. He was now wearing blue jeans like Trowa with a dark blue shirt with a black jacket over it.
They had stolen the plane nearly an hour ago from the colony they were on and headed toward the new cluster, L6.
"How do you know that who ever has done this is hiding out at L3?" Quatre asked.
Trowa never took his eyes off of the black expanse before them. "Heero told me the details. As you know, the colony has been under construction for a few years now. Two years ago it served as a reserve space-base for Oz, but was never used. They say that a number of mobile suits are still entact on the colony, as well as Oz supporters."
Quatre blinked. "Heero? But wasn't his apartment...?"
Trowa allowed a smirk. "Heero is hard to kill. it takes a lot more then a bomb."
Quatre thought a moment, then smiled. "Yeah, your right. So him and the others are on their way to the colony?"
Trowa nodded.
Nail blue eyes gazed at the screen through long platinum bangs. "Are you sure?"asked the raspy voice.
The women on the screen nodded. "We have reports that Heero Yuy and Quatre Raberba Winner may be dead."
The man nodded."...How's Relena taking it?"
"Shes very upset. shes dedicated to finding out who did it."
The man smirked. "Thank you executive Une. I shall return with Preventer Noin to Earth as soon as possible."
Lady Une smiled. "Thank you, Preventer Wind."
Duo jumped to his feet. "Space mines, dead ahead!"
Heero jerked the control wheel to the side, narrowly avoiding a stream of flying mines.More where hurtling at them through space.
"Damn" Heero muttered beneath his breath. He pulled up sharply, Duo giving a small yelp as he crashed into the back of the cabin.
"Hey!" Duo said angrily, rubbing the back of his head. "Warn me next time!"
Heero answere by jerking the wheel to the side, which ended up with Duo crashing into the wall. Duo seemed dazed.
"Buckle up" was all Heero said.
Suddenly a wall sprang up in front of the shuttle. Duo's eyes went wide.
Right before they hit, twin lances of light shot out from above them and blew up the mines. A split second later a blue Preventer ship shot in front of them, blowing up more mines.
"Stand back, weaklings!" echoed a voice over the intercom.
Duo smiled with delight at the fact he had just been saved. "Wu-man! Thanks for comin to our rescue!"
"Maxwell you baka, don't call me that!" was the angered response.
Duo couldn't help but smirk. "whatever you say, Wu-man."
Not too far away, another civilian shuttle watched the explosions in space. The blond Arabian pilot smiled. "Looks like we're right on time."
Farther away, having just left from Earth, a large, vaguely human shape hurtled through the dark void of space.
