Recap - Heero's dead
Chapter 4
**************************************************************************** *******
Sitting on the L3 colony behind his desk the leader of Black Fang, a man by the code name Milliardo Merquise, due to the names of his predecessor, waited for the results from his spy. He sat calmly, not an ounce of worry showing on his face or in his body language. The man before him was unnerved. How could someone be so calm? If this virus didn't work then they would have failed their mission. There was a gentle rap at the door and an attractive young woman entered the room. She passed Milliardo Merquise, known to his sub-ordinates as the Black Baron or Baron Merquise; a piece of paper and the Baron smiled when he read it. The woman left the room as quietly as she came and the Baron passed the young man the piece of paper.
On it were two words: Mission Successful.
The man smiled and put the piece of paper back into the hand of the Baron who lay it in front of him. He picked up a pen and started writing on a piece of paper. The scratching sound soon annoyed the man, why was the Baron so calm? The man put down his pen when he finished writing and sat back in his chair, staring ad the man around his unusually shaped nose. The men had nicked named him 'Nosey', due to the fact that he had a nose in the same shape as Wellington of the old British Army in the late 18th and early 19th Centuries. Nosey continued to stare at the man then a small smiled crept onto his face. At first the smile was only a slight curve of his lips, then it became a full smile.
"We will continue with the mission" Nosey announced, linking his fingers over his stomach.
"Yes Baron" the man, known as Ray, agreed.
"We started with 01, now we attack Earth. Is the Libra cannon ready?"
"It will be fully charged in two days sir." Ray answered.
"Tell the engineering crew not to rush."
"Sir?" Ray knew this wasn't the Baron's style.
"Yes, we can afford to wait, although not too long - who was the man who discovered C- one ten?" Nosey asked.
"Dr Julianne O." Ray reported, the name becoming second nature to him.
"Well tell Miss O to come to my office as soon as possible"
"Yes Sir"
Ray stood up and saluted the Baron who nodded and waved a hand to dismiss the soldier. Leaving the room with a slight bounce in his step, Ray remembered the Baron's promise.
"If all goes according to plan then I will let you have Lady Une as your reward"
Ray had always liked Lady Une. He had served under her for a short while until Black Fang contacted him. Lady Une was always kind to him and Ray always tried to do his best for her but he did not dare to ask her out. He was scared of rejection, but when Black Fang had offered him the chance never to be rejected again he took it.
Ray opened the door to the laboratory with a new confidence. He was suddenly faced with the steely gaze of the only daughter of one of the Gundam Scientists, Master O. He met the gaze with a smile and the gaze melted. The woman was in her early twenties and he wore glasses. Ray crossed the room, running a finger across the work surface.
"It's clean" Julianne O said crisply.
"I know. Tell me Doctor O. If your new discovery really did kill Heero Yuy then would you go out with the first man to ask you?"
"No"
"What about the man that employed you to kill Heero Yuy?"
"No, I wouldn't"
"Why is that?" Ray asked
"Because after a series of tests c one ten doesn't work."
"What!" Ray shouted, now two foot away from the doctor.
"I'm only two feet away you idiot. No need to shout" The doctor was completely calm. "C one ten was supposed to destroy the red blood cells in the human body - except C one ten doesn't do that. It only temporarily stuns them"
"How long for?" Ray asked.
"An hour, the victim appears to be dead but in fact they aren't"
"When did you discover this?" Ray asked
"About ten minutes ago" Doctor O said.
"Damn. Is there a cure?"
"Yes, well called it anti C one ten"
"Damn it! What if the person's dead?"
"Technically they aren't dead, they just appear dead. The blood is moving under it's own impulse and the C one ten provides the oxygen for the brain so once anti C one ten has been administered the patient revives within an hour."
"This couldn't get any worse if I prayed forever!"
"Well I think you should report this to the Baron before he launches a full scale assault expect one of the pilots to be dead" Doctor O suggested.
"Right, but you're coming with me"
Ray grabbed Doctor O by the crook of her arm and dragged her out of the lab. He pulled her all the way to the Baron's office where she recounted her findings to him. Calmly the Baron stood up and walked around the room. He turned around, gun in hand.
"Ray, you know how much I detest lack of accuracy."
"Yes Baron"
"Well in any normal situation I would kill you both but…" the Baron put the gun down on his table and looked at the two "I don't think it was your fault."
"Thank you Baron." Doctor O said gratefully.
"Try and find me a way of getting all of the pilots out of the picture in two days please Doctor O. And Ray, keep an eye on the recharging of the Libra cannon."
"Yes Baron" they both chanted and left the room.
Just as the Baron sat in his chair his intercom buzzed. He gently pressed the receive button and voice of his chief of security was heard.
"Sir?"
"What is it?" the Baron asked.
"One of the Gundam scientists have escaped."
"Which one?"
"Doctor G, sir"
"Ah, the off spring of Professor G - the master mind behind Deathscythe and Deathscythe Hell."
"Yes sir…and he got away with anti C one ten"
"Well Yuy is dead now so there is no need to worry. Keep looking for Professor G"
"Yes sir"
The Baron released the receive button and bridged his fingers in front of him. He was contemplating how he would defeat the Gundam pilots. He smiled to himself. They didn't have any Gundams did they?
"Checkmate" the Baron said to himself.
