Part 12

Relena was uneasy.
She kept couldn't lie still in bed, though not from her unborn son, but
from something else. Her unborn son
protested, and she laid still. But
still the uneasiness persisted in the back of her mind. Finally Heero laid his hand upon her belly,
conveying his assurance to their unborn son.
The little life quieted, but not Relena.
Heero stared at his beloved worriedly. "What's the matter, angel?"
Relena frowned.
"I don't know. I just have a
feeling that something is not right."
Before Heero could reply, Relena winced in pain and
curled herself into a fetal position.
Heero sat up, putting his arms around his wife. He searched her mind, trying to find out
what was wrong. While doing so, he
shared her pain, putting the berth of it through him. When he found the source of her pain, he was furious. Dark energy surrounded the room, but not
within his wife's personal space. He
didn't want his son to feel his own anger, and he wanted a normal pregnancy for
Relena. Using his own powers, he dived
into Relena's psyche, going to the source of her discomfort.
The dark angel was not pleased with the Earth right
now. Relena was connected to the earth,
as all the angels were. But she was
more connected to the planet, since she was the princess of the light
angel. As a dark angel, he was also
connected to it, but in another different way.
His light angel's connection to Earth was now being soiled with evil,
and he was not happy with it at all.
Thus, using his own connection to Earth, and still within Relena's mind,
he began to repair the damage that their enemy had done.
When Heero was done, he retreated from Relena's
mind. He hugged her closer, whispering
soothing words to calm her down. His
anger was still palpable, surrounding the room, as it grew darker and
thicker. It even slipped out of the
room, down the hall, making the hallway eerily cold and silent. It even awakened the others, raising goose
bumps and making sleep slip away from their mind. They ran toward the young couple's room, opening the door to the
scene of Heero holding Relena close within his arms.
Heero noticed the newcomers, yet kept his attention
focused to his wife. As Relena began to
calm down, he finally raised his head toward the group.
Duo brushed his hand through his hair.
"What the heck happened, Heero?"
"Earth is being destroyed."
Eyes narrowing, the four boys looked at each other,
the same thought going through their minds.
It was Quatre who voiced the thought aloud.
"He has done it."
Heero's eyes darkened to black. "It has come too far." He looked down at the girl in his arms, a
soft look entering his eyes. "As we had
said, he would go through my weakness. And we were right."
Relena heard the note in her husband's voice, and
raised her head. "Heero."
Heero shushed her, putting a finger upon her soft
lips. "Don't worry, angel. I won't do anything drastic."
Trowa voiced his thought. "We shouldn't go through this irrationally, Heero."
Heero nodded his head. "I know that. That's why
I thought of a plan." His powers grew
electrifyingly, making the others wince in reaction. "It is time that he is eliminated." He gave a cold smile.
"Mission accepted."
"Master."
The dark figure turned around. It hissed.
"What is it?"
The man quelled his shudder, and replied
emotionlessly. "Dumping the radiation
without detection was a complete success."
The dark figure chuckled gleefully. "That's good." Returning back to the window, he dismissed the man, who got the
message and left.
Alone, the dark figure stared sightlessly through
the glass, his thoughts upon his rivals.
Particularly him.
Everything was falling into place. He couldn't wait for the battle ahead.
"Weakling."
Another figure watched the serpent, his red eyes
gazing at the creature with a bored expression. Giving the evil creature one final glance, he waved his hand and
the crystal disappeared, with it the view of the serpent.
The figure turned back to his paperwork, gazing at
the pictures in front of him.
"I shall keep watch to see if you can do the unthinkable."
He smiled.
"If not, then, I'll have the pleasure of seeing you
get killed. Especially by the angel
prince."
The picture in front of him, one of a dark-haired
boy with Prussian blue eyes, burst into flames.
