Authors Notes: Thankyou to my first reviewer, Anna Maxwell!! The bit that is between the **** means its a flash back. I hope it works. I don't know html well enough to use it yet so... ^_^*
The Beginning, part 2
On L4, trouble was brewing. A simple exploration of a local cave area had resulted in a new, sealed room being unlocked. Now, Dr David Saunters, a noted archaeologist searched though, trying to discover why it had been sealed. "Whoa" he gasped softly as light bounced of the dusty marble and reflected the cavern. In the center of the room, a throne sat, and beside it, was a pedestal, with a crystal sitting on top. The crystal enchanted the doctor and he walked forward, hypnotised by the light sparkling through it. As he reached for it, he tripped and fell, kicking dust up everywhere. "What?" he started to ask and turned his head, spotting a small skeleton, lying on the floor beside him. Instantly forgetting the crystal, he turned, exciting, yelling for his team to get in here.
A shadow watched the man leave before edging through the cave. It sneered in the direction of the skeleton before snatching the crystal up and disappearing back the way it had come.
Beep, beep, beep Quatre jumped up as his alarm went off and he tumbled to the floor. Groaning he covered his eyes and lay still until a knock sounded at the door. "What?" he growled, not lifting his arm. "Well, good morning to you to Q." A braided figure, commonly known as Shinigami - or Duo Maxwell to his friends- stood at his door. "Ah, you know you sleep in the bed right buddy?" he asked, a grin tugging at the corner of his mouth. Quatre glared as the boy backed away and ran down the hallway laughing.
Back on L4, Dr Saunders was not happy. "There was a crystal on that platform when I walked in the first time." He glared around the company of men , "I want to know where it went."
Not far from the campsite, said crystal was being turned in the hands of a vampire. This vampire was no ordinary vampire, and had in fact been searching for the crystal since the Slayer had imprisoned the Master. "What do I do?" it hissed, "Master, help me."
"Use the blood...." a whisper started, weaving through the trees. The vampire jumped. "What blood?" "The Slayers..." The vampire was confused, the Slayer had died, hadn't he?
Quatre ducked and peeked around the corner of the facility. Each of the pilot's had taken a different section due to the size of the base and were to collect information, and then set charges to go off. He checked his ammunition once more and ran for the design centre. Heero had drawn the computer centre, Duo, the Hangars, Trowa, the recruitment and Wufei, the production line.
The blonde ran through the corridor and slid to a stop by the door. Retrieving the lock pick Duo had lent him he set to work quickly. A prickly sensation on his neck told him he wasn't alone and he turned and fired, the bullet catching the officer in the chest, killing him instantly. Quatre had barely turned back to the door when the body growled. He turned, eyes wide, as the body looked up, bright yellow eyes and protruding canine teeth bared. "No..." the blonde whispered before the body was lunging for him. He spun to the side and stood in fighting stance, as he had been taught to years ago.

Quatre stood, paralysed as a monster growled and stumbled towards him, claws outstretched. "No!!" A deep voice cried out and tackled the monster before rolling off it and facing it with arms and knees bent slightly, ready to fight. "SSSlayerrr" the monster hissed and lunged at him instead. Quatre watched, unable to move as his Father killed the beast before turning to him. "Quatre, we need to talk."
**********************************************************************
Heero watched the surveillance monitors, as he hacked through the systems, planting viruses in each component. "What?" he thought, turning to watch Quatre face off an officer he had only just shot. "Damn, I need to teach him to shoot properly." Quickly shutting down the computer he tucked it away in his backpack, heading for the hall Quatre was fighting in.
The vampire threw out an arm, trying the gouge the Slayer, when the blonde grabbed his arm and twisted it, breaking it at the elbow. The vampire squealed in pain and backed away, taking stock of what it could do now. It growled and ran forward again and body slammed the Slayer against the wall. He cried out as he fell, blood from a cut on his cheek where the vampire's claws had hit him. A clunk caused both combatants to turn, and, where before there had been an empty hall, now sat a stake, like it had been forgotten. Not one to stop and ponder how the stake got there, Quatre somersaulted forward and snatched it up. He held it in front of his eyes and leapt forward, bringing the stake down hard, through the vampires' heart. The vampire shrieked as it burst into dust, leaving Quatre kneeling over nothing, breathing heavily, when Heero came skidding around the corner. "Where is?" he started to ask as an alarm sounded. Heero glared, "I know that was Duo."
Wufei watched, slightly amazed as Duo set charges quietly. He had no idea the Baka American could be this quiet. So far into his wondering he was that he never noticed the officer who looked straight at him before turning and hitting the emergency alarm. Wufei grimaced as Duo came running around the corner eyes wide "What Happened??" Wufei flushed.
