Chapter 8- The Tears of a Storm
Her eyes widen, did he still want to kill her? Heero looked up at who he was pointing the gun at, his eye slightly widen.
Heero: Relena.
Relena: Heero. (Her voice was trembling. Here he was the one she had been waiting for.)
Heero lower the gun to his side.
Heero: Let's go.
Relena nodded as he began to move down the hall. She followed in silence not really knowing what to say.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hilde looked up, Lady Une and Noin followed her eyes. There came the Taurus' they had been waiting for.
Hilde: They're here.
Noin: There hasn't been any sign of Miss Relena.
Lady Une: We don't have a choice. Sally and the others can't hold up much longer, we have to attack now.
Noin: I don't like this.
Hilde: Neither do I, but when it comes down to it, it one life compared to thousands.(She didn't want to say it, 'cause Relena was her best friend, but it was true.)
Noin and Lady Une were silent. Lady Une picked up the radio control.
Lady Une: This is Lady Une. Attack on my word.
Preventer: Yes, Ma'mam.
Lady Une then radio Sally.
Lady Une: Fire, the Taurus' have just gotten here. Are you ready for them?
Sally: Tell them to attack. We'll keep up this diversion while they penetrate the control area. Has Relena come back yet?
Lady Une: No, we have no choice but to attack, we'll just hope she got out of there, somehow.
Sally: Over and out.
Lady Une turned back to the Taurus' troops and radioed them again.
Lady Une: It's in the clear, go ahead and make your attack.
Preventer: Roger that.
Lady Une turned off the communication system. ***I hope this works.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Relena followed Heero down the corridor. They suddenly hear a big explosion, it was heard over and over again.
Relena: Heero, what was that?
Heero: Someone's attacking the base by the control area. We got to get out of here. Come on.
Heero took Relena's hand and began leading her down the hall as fast as he could go. Relena was surprised by his action of taking her hand, but wasn't opposed to it. She began running down the hall with Heero as fast as she could, Heero knowing that if they didn't get out of the base fast, there wasn't going to be anyone for him to protect.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sally radioed into Lady Une.
1.1.1.1.1 Sally: Ok, we're finished here. We'll get out of here, so the Taurus' can finish destroying the base.
Lady Une: Ok. Good luck. Meet back here. Over and out.
Sally: Ok, guys, let's get out of here.
Everyone nodded and they proceeded to run out of the North side of the base to the forest and the meeting point.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heero had led Relena around a corner. She saw a pair of doors, with windows leading to the outside. They went out the door only to find a bunch of Oz soldiers. ***Shit.* Heero mentally thought. Lucky the soldiers hadn't noticed him and Relena yet. Heero lead Relena up against the wall of the building provided a shaded cover to hide their movements in. Unfortunately one of the soldiers had turned and glimpsed a movement before they got to that side of the building and saw them trying to get away. He yelled for the other soldiers to come and they began to fire and run after Heero and Relena. Heero turned back to find them following them. Relena gave a small scream as one of the bullets missed her head by an inch. The soldier who had originally saw them sounded the alarm.
He told one of the other soldiers, "Tell General Baerwald that Miss Dorlain has escaped."
"Yes, sir." The soldier saluted and ran off.
~~~~~~~~~~
General Baerwald: What?! Miss Relena Dorlain has escaped?! Capture her, I want her alive!
Soldier: Sir, there was also a young man with her, he had dark brown hair.
General Baerwald: Shit, it was probably one of those gundam pilots. I don't care if you kill him or capture him. I have enough things to deal with right now, this is just great, now I have a Gundam pilot in my mist and Miss Dorlain has escaped. His Excellency is not going to be happy. Go do what I told you to.
The Soldier saluted and ran off. General Baerwald walked around the control room. The Taurus' had gotten really close, destroying everything they could. The ground kept shacking and pieces of the ceiling were falling down.
General Baerwald: I'm sorry I have failed you, your Excellency. Goodbye.
He drew out a gun and pointed it at his head. A soldier yelled, "General, NO! What are you doing?" It was too late; the general had already shot himself in the head. Following this a giant explosion rang out throughout the base. The Taurus' had destroyed it.
~~~~~~~~~~
Relena and Heero were blown backwards as the base around them exploded. Heero pushed Relena down and covered her, so that she wouldn't get hurt. The soldiers who had been following them now stopped and were in complete panic. Many were hurt from the explosion. After all the rubble had stopped falling. Heero moved off of Relena and stood up. Relena sat up also.
Relena: Thank you Heero.
Heero: Hn. Let's go while they're distracted.
Heero began to run off toward the west forest, where he had landed his shuttle. Relena follow close behind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, back at the colony where the rest of the gang was; Duo got up from his seat.
Duo: I can't take this anymore, we have got to find out what happened to everyone and if they escaped.
Zechs: Don't you think we would have already done that if we had some way of communicating with them or contacting them.
Quatre: Wait a minute, I do own that research satellite. If I just knew the transmission that was on Lady Une's or Sally's radio, I could use my lab top and activate my satellite so that I could contact them through the frequency waves.
Wufei: I know the transmission waves and frequency of Sally's radio.
Quatre: That great, now we can try and reach Sally if she still has here radio with her.
Duo: Well, why didn't you tell us you could do this in the first place?
Quatre: I just didn't think about it.
Quatre walked over and opened the bag with his lab top in it that was sitting next to the couch. He sat down and opened the lab top on his lap. Everyone gathered around him and waited while he accessed the satellite.
Quatre: Ok, I'm in. Wufei, give me the transmission code.
Wufei: 5438902734J
Quatre: Ok, this should work, (He reached in his bag and pulled out a walky- talky, and connected it to his lab top.)
Quatre: Sally, you there? Sally?
All they heard was fuzz.
Zechs: Well, that really worked.
Quatre: It should, there are only three reason why she isn't responding. One, she doesn't have her radio with her, two, there is something wrong with the radio, or three, she's been captured.
Duo: Let's just hope it was the first one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sally and the others had just gotten back to the meeting place. Sally walked up to Lady Une.
Sally: Did they accomplish destroying the base.
Lady Une: Yup, now we got to get out of here. While you were gone, a few of the survivors from the other bases that got taken over radio to me. We arranged a meeting place, the South Atlantic. We're going to need some planes to get there. We'll probably have to steal them. I don't like this but we don't have a choice again. So I need you to radio in to Mark, he's heading the rest of the survivors and is the one who arranged the meeting post.
Sally: I can do that. Any sign of Relena?
Lady Une shook her head. Sally sighed and turned away to go radio Mark. When she turned on her radio she found that it was dead, it wasn't on. She walked back to Lady Une.
Sally: Lady Une, my radio is out, it must have some how gotten messed with when the base exploded.
Lady Une throw Sally her radio.
Lady Une: Just use this.
Sally: Got it.
Sally walked off and radioed Mark.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heero and Relena had been running through the damp forest. Relena stopped to catch her breath.
Relena: Heero, I need to take a break.
Heero: Come on Relena, we've got to keep moving.
Relena: I'm just too tired Heero.
Heero: Come on, you can't give up now.
Relena stood up from having her hands on her knees.
Relena: Your right.
They began to run once again, until they came to a clearing in the forest. There was the shuttle Heero had landed earlier. Heero ran up to it and opened the door. Relena got in. Once inside Heero tossed her a space suit.
Heero: Here, put this on.
Relena did so. Heero got up once his suit was on over his cloths. He went over and looked at some maps that were on a table that expanded from the wall. After putting the space suit on over her blue skirt and white blouse, Relena walked over to Heero to see what he was looking at.
Relena: What are you looking for?
Heero: Hn.A place where I can launch this shuttle into space.
Relena: oh. (She moved away from him and sat down up against the wall. She knew better than to disturb him when he was concentrating on a mission.)
Heero continued looking at the map. ***Ok, we obviously can't use the runway on the Victorian base because it was just destroyed. There has got to be some place close enough for me to refuel the shuttle and launch. There (he had found a place on the map). It's only 30 miles from here. The Washington [Couldn't think of any better of a name, I know it sounds lame.] base. It has little security and there is a big runway there for launch. I'll get us out of here. Hopefully this shuttle has enough fuel to get us there.***
Heero got up and turned to Relena.
Heero: Buckle in.
Relena nodded and moved up to the front of the shuttle, taking the passenger seat next to the pilot. Heero came up and sat down in the pilot's seat. Relena fastened her seat belt and turned to look at Heero.
Relena: Where are we going Heero?
Heero just looked at her. He wasn't in the mode to talk, but decided if he answered her question she would shut up.
Heero: The Washington base.
Relena: Thanks.
Heero: For what? (He said this in his usual monotone, like he had been the whole time.)
Relena: For getting me out of the there.
Heero: Hn.
Heero then turned and started the shuttle. They began to fly in the air toward the base, but unknown to them someone was following them.
