Thanks Silver Wing, Mizu-Chan!, Crazy-gurl, Winnie, deathangel, Ley, Kmf, Artemis Nightingale (you'd better finish that story!!) They Call Me Joe, Stephanie and last but not least mya. Yeah this one is weird in my opinion a lil off topic but it's crucial and I think it spoils how I actually wanted it to come out.  It took me longer to write this chapter because well I didn't really know how to put my thoughts on the screen I have about a million more plots for stories and I think my vivid imagination is finally catching up to me. My mother always said I was an imaginative child I never believed her I guess it was true. Argh I may be imaginative but the final chapters are beginning to be a pain I'm trapped at what I should be doing. Gah but now worries I'll get it done, I'll be damned if I don't finish this story!!

Chapter 13

As Rei saluted to them and left the doors closing behind her she leaned onto the door and sighed

"I will find them my life depends on it." She murmured and ran her fingers through her hair.

Cressa awoke her eyes red and her face drained she held her head in her hands she remembered so much and it was painful too painful. The pain had to end and it had to end now. Opened the car door and got out of the car then turned and walked into the house passing the living room where Wufei and Trowa sat thinking they turned and watched her then followed her as she disappeared from their view she walked down the hallway towards the French doors.

Quatre awoke with a start had he drifted off to sleep?  He turned and looked in the back seat she was gone he quickly fumbled with the lock and pushed open the door running into the house and there he saw the large French doors at the end of the hallway open he could see Trowa and Wufei they were talking to someone loudly.

He ran down the hall and gasped at what he saw there was Cressa standing right there on the railing tears pouring down her face she was looking down at the sea her arms spread out wanting to jump.

"Cressa." He beckoned

Trowa shook his head "She won't respond to that name." He said meaning he and Wufei had already tried.

"Juliana." He called softly

She half turned her head looking at him out of the corner of her eye.

"Why are you doing this?" he asked

"Too many memories, too much pain, too much loss." She murmured

"There's nothing that bad to kill yourself over." Quatre pleaded

She stomped her foot on the railing their eyes widening but she remained balanced.

"I saw them die I watch their bodies burn in the fire. I was burned by the same fire and I was left behind tell me how would you feel?" she asked

"I––I don't know how I would feel…I'm sorry Juliana I am really but by doing this they'll win the people who started all this will win is that what you want?" he asked her

"It'll stop the pain." She murmured

"And what about the pain of others doing this will cause because of your death they'll kill the others and then another war will break out and then so many people will experience what you've been through. Are you really that selfish!" Quatre shouted at her.

"Maybe I am let's find out shall we?" She asked as she put one foot out but still remained balanced

"Juliana please don't." Quatre begged

She looked at him then down at the sharp and jagged edges of the rocks.

"Either way I'll die the quick way or the slow way. If I end my life now it'll finally matter to anyone but later on no one will care no one will mourn I'll be forgotten like dust I'll be history. Would anyone miss me?" she asked him

"Yes." He answered

"Who?" she asked her voice sounded weak and afraid.

"Relena would." He offered

"Maybe." She murmured

"Then I would you're a good person and you shouldn't waste your life." He admitted

"It's already been wasted Quatre there's nothing I can do to change that." She murmured

"But you can live your life to the fullest from here on in." he advised her

She smiled "You're so innocent and truthful I'll believe you for the time being and then I will decide if I will or will not live a full life." She said and stepped down from the railing onto the floor.

"That's a good negotiator if I've ever seen one." Wufei announced

Trowa nodded

Cressa or rather Juliana walked past them and into the house stepping up to the large fireplace mantle.  She picked up a candlestick and then threw it through the picture above the mantle it didn't shatter only wavered and then a keypad jutted out of the wall. Juliana typed a few keys and the fireplace pulled up revealing a dark hallway.          

Without a word she stepped down the hallway the three men looked at each other but followed her down the silent hallway as soon as Juliana walked across the threshold they could hear the whiz of machines begin she wasn't surprised.

The three men emerged from the hallway and looked around surprised they never knew that Relena would build weapons.

"Relena was afraid of another war and so she built this facility so as not to be caught off guard and be defenseless. I suppose her brother may have flipped out if he saw this because of Relena's usually docile nature but she wanted to be prepared for the worse." Juliana explained as if to answer any questions, questions that hadn't been asked.

There were plenty of weapons to supply an army all right there were even jets and three or four gundam suits.

"We need a plan right well I supplied the artillery it's time for someone to devise a plan." Juliana said looking at the three men expectantly.

"We have jets and guns I think there maybe a few things for tracking." Trowa said

"Tracking did you put a tracker on Milliardo?" Quatre asked curious

"Of course I thought these people were pretty damn smart and sooner or later they'd kidnap Milliardo so I planted a bug on him unbeknownst to him it should still be there." Trowa explained

"The computers there get on it." Juliana said in a soft but firm voice.

Trowa's eye widened slightly but then resumed it's original shape he quickly moved over to the computer and turned it on then set down to work.

"Quatre are you the best in machinery?" She asked her voice cold and mechanical.

He nodded "Well at least out of those two." He answered

"Good then please check those jets over there I don't exactly know how long it's been since they've been checked." She said nodding her head in the direction of the dull gray stealth air hawks

He turned and began work.

"Wufei you and I will begin on artillery believe me we will need a lot of weapons and ammunition." She said and turned on her heel then walked proudly her head held high to the weapons locker.

"I wonder what went on in that head of hers." Wufei wondered out loud

The other two men looked at him quizzically.

Relena tapped her foot she was beginning to lose patience the other three men looked at her. There was a low growl in her throat and her eyes narrowed at the door.

"eh What––" Duo was cut off by the door opening.

"Mike." Relena said hate and malice dripping off that one word.

"Relena you've already bandaged your wounds I don't know the reason why you're going to die soon enough." He said from the doorway

"Yeah maybe I should break my pacifism just this once and kill you before I die." She growled

"Oh and what has you this upset?" he inquired a mocking smirk on his features.

"You know why Mike, how could you do this to her hasn't she been through enough?" Relena questioned

He narrowed his eyes at her "She's been through a lot more than you think Relena Peacecraft and most of it is his fault." Mike said pointing to Milliardo.

"Why is it my fault?" Milliardo questioned

Mike turned his attention to Milliardo his eyes held hatred and sadness.

"You left her there." He simply said then turned and left the door slamming behind him.

Milliardo's eyes widened slightly at the remark Relena whirled around and faced her brother anger and confusion burning bright in her eyes.

"What did he mean!" Relena shouted

"No, no, no, no, no it can't be true I mean she was in the room she couldn't have." Milliardo murmured to himself

"Answer me!" Relena practically screamed at her brother.

"Relena there's something that you may not remember but you need to be told." Milliardo said softly his eyes holding sorrow.

There was a loud scream as she threw the chair out the window right now she was a raving lunatic. All the workers silently backed out of the room afraid of their commanding officer.

"I've got to find them!" she shrieked

"I'm not losing my life." She shouted as she threw a vase across the room it shattered and fell to little pieces.

She couldn't find anything else to throw and stood in the middle of the room her fists clenched and panting.

"Are you done your little tantrum now?"  a male voice asked  

She spun around to face its owner and there he stood with his auburn hair and sky blue eyes.

"Who are you and why shouldn't I kill you?" she asked still panting

"I am your superior officer Ramón it'll be my pleasure when I replace you." He said

"You won't replace me." She said with pure venom

"Oh indeed I will as I hear it you haven't even found where she is or where the infant is…that is really sad." He said in a mock serious tone 

"Don't worry I'll find them!" she said and turned on her heel then left steaming she signaled for ten guards to follow her down to the prisoners ward she stopped before the door and then entered the numeric code. The four occupants in the room turned to her she pointed to Relena.

Two soldiers went to retrieve her whilst the others held back the three men, sadly she wasn't going peacefully with one kick she dislocated one of their shoulders and with one hand she had put another to sleep.

Rei sighed picked up her pen which had a mini stunner on it then flung it at her.

Relena's breath caught in her throat and she fell to the floor with a thud Heero, Duo and Milliardo were all trying to get to her but the guards kept them at bay.

"Relena!" Heero shouted to her as a guard dragged her away.

Soon the guards left them with their bloody knuckles and bruised bodies.

Heero ran to the closed door and began pounding on it as hard as possible but it wouldn't budge.

"Bring her back!" he shouted although he knew no one could hear him.

He continued his relentless assault upon the door until he bloodied his fists Duo placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Heero calm down hurting yourself won't help." Duo said softly

"No it won't but what will they do to her I just can't sit by here helpless!" Heero exclaimed

"You're not being helpless Heero by not wasting your energy you'll have enough strength to help her get out of here when we find a way out so calm down." Duo said seriously

Heero stared at his friend when did he become so wise?

Juliana looked at the M61 machine guns, glocks, hand lasers, laser rifles and many other different weapons there were larger weapons and plenty of ammunition for the weapons. She quickly unloaded the lasers and checked the batteries to make sure they were okay. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Wufei glancing to and fro about the weapons. She shook her head and picked up a 9mm pistol out of the clip she took out two bullets and marked them.

"One for Rei and one for me." She said softly

Wufei heard her "You know when I first heard of you I thought you were one strong onna and I would've said that I admired you but now you're acting like a blubbering fool who wants the easy way out you deserve no respect." He told her

Juliana nodded slightly but then looked at him anger lighting her eyes up like fire.

 "You have no idea what it's like to see your family die." She held up her hand before he could interject.

"I did Wufei I saw them die and I saw my mother burn alive I could smell their melting flesh. At the time I was only a mere child and didn't understand much but I did understand pain as I felt the same fire that killed my mother scar me across my back. And so I kept this scar I hoped that it would lead me to my past and it did." She finished her eyes still angry

Wufei remained silent they both did and an awkward silence befell them.

"well now shall we continue?" Juliana asked and continued checking the guns choosing out what would and wouldn't be used.

Quatre looked at the massive aircrafts and whistled Relena sure did know how to pick out weapons. The aircrafts were each equipped with machine lasers, missiles and some sort of shield mechanism. He looked in the cockpit and inspected it he grinned this flyer was perfect. He jumped down and continued racking through the other flyers to make sure they were operational.

Trowa continued to scan for Milliardo's signal apparently a lot of people were bugged in this city.

Maybe I should become a PI Trowa thought amused he continued to narrow down the signal to the nearest digit.

Relena lifted her heavy eyelids and looked around her hands were restrained to the arm's of the steel chair. She tried to look at shapes and people but it was impossible her eyes just didn't want to seem to focus, she cursed under her breath.

"Good to see you awake Relena now down to business where is Cressa?" A voice asked

Relena knew that voice but she just couldn't seem to pull the face out of her memory her eyebrows scrunched together.

"Oh having trouble remembering that's just the effects of the drug now where is Cressa." The voice said once again.

Relena let out a crisp laugh she knew the effects of truth serum delusions were one of them.

"I see the pretty fish talking to me." Relena murmured

"What!" the voice ordered.

"I see the pretty fish talking to me." Relena repeated louder this time.

"Tell me what I want to know!" The voice ordered

Relena began giggling uncontrollably

"ARGH!" the voice yelled and began a relentless assault on the woman.

Relena was dumped back into the cell not having the strength to move

To think I got the crap beaten out of me by Rei she thought ironically.

Out of the corner of her eye she saw the figures rush to her.

"Relena are you okay?" one asked holding love but and edge.

"Heero…I'm a bad liar so I'm not going to tell you I'm okay and I can't glare at my brother I really don't have the strength and Duo I know you're looking really sad but cheer up you may make it out of here alive." Relena said and then began coughing uncontrollably a bit of blood came out onto the floor.

"Don't move Relena." Someone whispered

"No I'm going to get up and begin break dancing." Relena muttered sarcastically

She heard a soft chuckle of sorts and then a quieting.

"Heero…" Relena said after so much silence.

"What you need to save your strength." He said softly

"Look me in the eye please I have to tell you something and I can't move." Relena asked

Heero did so and looked straight at her.

"I could never hate you Heero…never not even in a different life, I will always love you and I'm sorry for being so cold to you." Relena said tears brimming up in her eyes.

"Shh we can talk later." He grinned

"No Heero there won't be a later and do you want to know why? Because they are going to kill us no matter what they may not wait much longer you know they want to get it over with so it is over." Relena murmured

Relena was giving up hope this was not a good sign is Relena was giving up hope.

"Come on Lena don't speak that way." Duo murmured

"Why not if we're lucky they won't find Lu, Lena or Cressa and at least they'll live on right so," another fit of coughs interrupted her.

"Relena shhh please just be quiet." Heero murmured

He sat down on the floor and moved her softly holding her in his arms.

"Relena just sleep please that's enough." Milliardo ordered

She began to shrug but then winced Heero took off his shirt and made a sort of pillow her placed it in his lap and laid her head on it she looked up at him her eyes glassy from exhaustion. She smiled at him,

"You're too kind to me Heero." She murmured and then closed her eyes and slept.

TBC

"Is this chapter shorter or longer than the others I can't tell you decide any way onward and so fourth."

"Eh I think Wufei is still unconscious." Duo points out

"So?"

"Just thought you should know." He shrugged

"Yeah right, hey you wanna play a prank on him?"

Duo's eyes gleamed he nodded.

"Alright here's what we do…" inaudible whispering is heard.
