Dark Shadows
Chapter Seven: The System
=============================================================
Heero opened his eyes. Around him, the screens and controls disappeared. He was suddenly standing in space, amidst the stars and enemies. He saw his friends, Duo, Quatre, Wufei, Trowa, and his rival Zechs, all of them were fighting. But they didn't have their Gundams. They were fighting as themselves. Duo swung his beam scythe, cutting his enemies in half. But the strange thing was, all of his enemies looked exactly like Duo. They fought and mimicked his moves.
The same thing was happening to Quatre. He fought duplicates of himself, him, swinging with the shotels that belonged to his Neo-Gundam. Zechs, Wufei, and Trowa had the same problem. They all fought with weapons that belonged to their gundams.
Heero's eyes widened as he took this in, and his pupils dilated as he saw his face on all of his enemies. He shook as he felt their shots impact on him. Suddenly he saw through them. they were nothing more but threads of a tapestry. He saw their lives, before and after this battle, saw where they're threads crossed over each other's.
All the battle patterns were fed to his mind. in an instant, he felt himself die 13 times and watched as others died more and more then that. He saw all the outcomes. The data was fed directly into his consciousness. He saw them all, saw the battle through each of their eyes.
His own wide, fearful eyes narrowed. A soldier's glint covered them up. He roared and brought up his Twin Beam Buster Rifle. In an instant, reality returned and he was back in the Gundam. Space itself shook when he fired.
Duo's eyes widened as he saw Heero lift his rifle, the energy charger on the side of each half spinning as energy was raked in, forming an electrical sphere around him. Heero aimed at the center of the enemy force, where the others just happened to be.
"What the hell is he doing?! He's gonna kill us!"
"Everyone!" Quatre's voice echoed over the com line. "Get out of the way! Heero's about to fire!" With that, his Sandstorm roared backwards, out of the torrent of enemies, planting his two beam shotels in two enemies who tried to follow him.
Trowa grunted his agreement and let out a final blast of his weapon, unloading all of his ammo in a final alpha strike.
Zechs growled and wrapped his whip around an enemy, slicing it in two. With a final shot of his Mega Beam Cannon, he took off after the others.
Wufei was right behind them, grabbing an enemy with his dragon fang and slamming it into another before taking off.
Right as they left, they heard Heero's roar over the comline as the rifle fired. The beam, as large as a MS transport ship, emerged from the barrels of his cannon, throwing the Vertigo backwards. The blast rocked the other pilots' Gundams and annihilated a main block of the enemy. The others were destroyed by the shockwave that followed.
Then Heero turned towards the colony.
Emilio Tsuni watched the battle with interest. The Gundam's performance was better then he expected them to be. They each performed excellent in the areas they were designed to excel at, but what drew his attention was his Vertigo. The system that was installed in it was very advanced and very dangerous. The Vertigo system. Six of the test pilots for it had died. The entire battle, it hadn't moved, but when he saw it come to life, he smirked. This was perfect. So the boy could pilot the Vertigo.
He stood up and turned away from the screen he was watching the battle on, a calm smirk on his aristocratic face.
"The pieces are set ... the pawns are in place ... now we just watch and see what will happen..." With that he turned and left.
Heero turned towards the colony and began charging his rifle again. He was interrupted when Quatre slammed into his side. Inside the cockpit, the walls slid away and he was once again in the eerie world, an outraged Quatre before him.
"What are you doing Heero?! There are innocent people on that colony! It's not just the people under orders from Tsuni!"
"Quatre's right, Heero." Said sally from behind the glaring form of Wufei. "We can't harm the colony."
Heero looked between them with wild eyes like a man possessed. But they were his friends.... No! They weren't friends! They were enemies! they must be destroyed!!
Heero took a step back in the world shown to him from the Vertigo system. "No...you are my enemies...I must ... kill ... all ... enemies!"
Heero through himself at a startled Quatre, a flaming sword appearing in his hand. In the normal world, the Vertigo powered up it's beam saber and took off at the Sandstorm.
Startled, Quatre grabbed his shotels and fended off the attack only to find him self under a second attack by the crazed Heero. They exchanged blows, then the others leapt into action and tried to take control of Heero.
Inside the Vertigo world, Heero saw the others coming at them, eyes blazing red. They wanted to kill him! of course they did, they were his enemies. He exchanged blows with each one, knocking attacks to the side while trying to fight back. He spun around and came face-to-face with the business end of Zech's cannon.
"Heero, get a hold of yourself! The system is controlling you! Just like Zero! Don't let the system control you!"
"Heero shuddered, then glared at him. "You are my enemy! I will destroy all obstacles!"
At the same time the words left his mouth, he grabbed his rifle and charged it, at the same time as Zechs. And before anyone could do anything to stop them, the two fired.
