Diablos

chapter6: Know Thy Enemy



Hilde could feel the temperature of the room rise.Duo was pale like a bed sheet and the others all looked at her with a chocked face.(well... as chocked as they could be..)Then all of the sudden, Duo ran up to her.

"Hilde! Areyouok?Areyouhurt?Whatthefuckareyoudoinghere!!!?"

"Slow down Duo.Yes I am ok,no I am not hurt and...Duo I'm a gundam pilot."

"What!" Duo could have waken the dead with this scream.

"Now now Mr. Maxwell, now is not the time for explainations,Roberto will show you to your rooms first.We will have a meeting in 2 hours,long enough to have you all settle." Duo glared at her but she gave him an hard core look. "Now go!We'll see you in 2 hours sharp!I don't approve tardiness." Under her hard glare and her severe tone of voice, Duo and the g-boys couldn't do anything but comply.

After they followed Roberto, Hilde sighed. "Are you sure this is a good idea? I can take Kain on all by myself."

"Don't be stupid Hilde,I know you can take on Kain alone; but he's not alone now.That's why you will need the boys' help." At Hilde puzzled face the doc added. "You will know what I'm talking about in 2 hours." With that she left the room.

**********************************Meanwhile*********************************

The g-boys followed Roberto in a serie of long and confusing corridors.Duo thought it was a good time to start ask questions.

"So Roberto,can you tell me how come Hilde is a gundam pilot? Did you sort of kidnap her and persuade her that she could help by piloting a gundam?"

Roberto looked at Duo,the boy was still upset. "I've known Hilde for a long time,when she first set foot in that base at the age of 8 and a half.She,and a boy called Darrien, were trained to become gundam pilots.But since we only had one gundam and that Darrien dissapeared,she became a gundam pilot."

Duo was speechless. "Imposible,why didn't she told me that sooner?"

"Simple,after all her missions were over,she had to live her life and we decided to erase her memory until she was needed again."

Heero,who like the others listened to the whole conversation asked. "Then why wasn't she part of the Eve war?"

"She was." Every ones eyes grew wide at this. "Her mission was to watch your backs while you were fighting OZ.When you were battling OZ, many little organisations were coming to life inside OZ or the Rommerfeller.Hilde's and Darrien's mission was to stop those little organisations before they started to grow."

Duo thought a minute."So what happened to that Darrien dude?"

"Gone, we believe Andrews killed him.Hilde was devastated...... Here are your quarters." He sliped a card key and the metal doors opened."Here, all the west wing is yours.You will find rooms with individual bathrooms, a kitchen, a gym and a simulation room; we already have your gundam's data with us so the gundams are programmed in the simulator.There are robots to help you if you have any kind of problem or needs, if you need my help you can contact me on the comlink.Here." He handed them card keys that looked a little like his."This will give you access to specific places.See you in 2 hours in the conference room."

"Wait,Roberto!"

The older man turned to face the braided boy. "What is it?"

"Do you know where Hilde stays?"

"She lives in the east wing,it's at the other side of the base,you can find a way there by looking at the map of the base in the computer." With that Roberto left.

************

One thing Duo could say was,"This place is huge!" He and the others were all setle and now they were walking around the base.Each had a map,and they really needed it since the place was gigantique.He wondered how the people who worked here could find their way around.Quatre looked at his watch."It's almost time for the meeting,we should head to the conference room now." They then headed for the conference room.

As they entered the room they saw Roberto and took their seets.Shortly after Doctor K and Hilde entered the room.Hilde avoided Duo's eyes at all cost, she wasn't sure if he hated her.

Duo tried to look at Hilde.He was still a little upset about her being a gundam pilot but what could he do?He sighed, when will that damn meeting start?

She looked around the room.It was time to start the meeting.She cleared her troath and noted that every one was looking at her; good.

"As you all know I am Scientist K also known as doctor K.So lets not waste anytime and start this meeting.As you may know now, a new treath is endangering the earth and the colonies.I believe it would be wise for us to study our opponent or at least know who we are up against." Every one in the room gave K their attention.

Roberto gave a photo to every one.In the picture you could see a young man, around their age, with blond hair and eyes that showed attitude.Hilde's eyes glared at the picture and she proceed to gentely ripping the photo appart. "This" began doctor K. "Is Andrews Kain.The son of Victor Kain, leader of the new organisation and our new ennemy.He is specialised in fencing,shooting,and mobile suit piloting."

Roberto passed another photo.

"Kain's right hand man is Marie Labelle a.k.a Electra." In the picture there was a young blue eyed blond haired woman.She was quite attractive but you could almost read the word 'Bitch' on her forehead.

"She uses her charm to get her prey so watch out." K eyed the g-boys and was instantly satisfied that none of them seemed to be drooling over her."She might be a woman but she is as deadly as Andrews."

Wufei snorted but kept quiet.

They looked at a photo of a tall and musclular russian man."One of Kain's general is Rupert Tcheckov.You may already know his battle techniques and specialisations since he was responsible for the chaos at the vice foreing minister's speech." Heero and Wufei scowled.Heero had almost lost Relena because of this man and Wufei....well ya know with the honor and stuff.

"Well he specialises in shooting and mobile suit piloting.He is also an expert in close range combat."

They recieved two other photos.(I'm getting tired of writing that -_- )

In the first photo there was a young man about Hilde's age.He had short black hair and pale red eyes. "This boy's name is Spencer.He specialise in explosive and piloting.I must warn you to excerce extream caution around him; he's ...how to put it?... crazy."

On the other picture you could see a small red haired geeky man with glasses."This is Kain's scientist; Dexter Baxter. (a.k.a Boy genius Dexter o.o) He's not really considered as a threat but one of your side mission is to kill him."

Every one looked at the photos, Heero and Wufei were silently swearing to torture and kill Rupert while Hilde glared at the remainings of Andrews photo.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~

He sat on a cozy chair watching the news.They were talking about the attack at the vice foreing minister's speech.

A tall blonde approached him.

"Ah Electra just the woman I wanted to see."

The woman sat on the armchair and crossed her legs.She had an unwritten expression on her face.

"Andrews mon amour,Rupert failed to kill the vice foreing minister and 'la bitch' broke in Dexter's base and stole some informations.Yet you are so calm."

Andrews chuckled."It's all going according to plan dear,everything is going has planned."

"Well if you would have let moi handle the killing it would have been done."

"Patience love, you'll get your turn at fighting.I'll let you kill the gundam pilot of your choice."

"Parfait."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~

Duo was heading for the hangar; well he hoped so the base was so big.The other pilots were sleeping so he decided to take a late night stroll around the base.He was going to check the hangar since he was positive he could have access to this room with his card key.The map directed him to two metal doors.He slid his card key and the door opened.He gasped.There was a huge corridor but what was impressive was that the wall and ceiling were made of glass.There was water every where around the corridor and Duo could see fishes swimming around.He figured that part of the base was under an artificial lake or something.

After a short walk through the corridor he came to yet another metal door.After sliding his card key and entering the room before him he came to an halt.The room was huge; and he could tell he was at the hangar. Inside the room stood a massive blue and black gundam.Duo was drawn out of his daze when he heard voices.He decided to hide in the shadows.

"So, you saw them? How was they like? Was there any fight between you and that boy?" Said a voice unknown to Duo.

"Yes they are here and no Duo and I didn't have a fight." That sounded like Hilde.

"Oh well, I'm not sure I'm going to like having to share the hangar with some other gundams.....I wonder what kind of attitude they have?"

Hilde laughed at this. "Baka they can't talk and have no personality.And don't be so selfish,you have lots of space."

"Well..........Hey! Who are you and what are you doing here!"

Duo knew that he had been discovered so he steped out of the shadows.He saw Hilde sitting on the shoulder of the gundam; how did she got there was unkown to him.She seemed to be alone yet he was sure he heard another voice.

"Oh my god Duo! What are you doing here at this hour?" Hilde was surprised.

"Well I couldn't sleep and decided to take a stroll.Who are you talking to babe?" Duo had now reached the footh of the gundam and was looking up.

"She's talking to ME.Does that create a problem?" said a rater irritated voice.Duo looked every where but saw no one.

The voice snarled."I'm here you baka! I'm big enough so how can you miss me?" It took a while for Duo to notice that it was the gundam who talked. "Um....well...." he studded.

Hilde giggled at Duo."Duo let me introduce you to my gundam and friend Diablos.He can talk and think."

"Waow." was all Duo could say.

"Ya damn right." huffed the gundam.

Hilde sighed; it seemed Diablos and Duo won't become friends today.The gundam had always been somewhat of an overprotective big (not to say huge.....oops!) brother to Hilde.

After a little while Duo got used to Diablos' ranting and asked Hilde what was she doing here.

"Well...I couldn't sleep and thought Diablos could feel alone so I paid him a visit.Come on Duo,you can climb up here he won't mind."

So Duo climbed; much to the gundam's dismay.Hilde took the time to get look at Duo.The boy was wearing black -as usual- and as usual his hair was done in a braid.(a messy one I might add)But there was one thing that made her nervous; he was quiet, tooo quiet.

"What's wrong Duo?"

"Just thinking...." Ah, that was Duo; never lying but some times not saying everything.

"Duo....."

"I don't want you to fight." He interrompt.

"What?"

"You heard me." He said looking strait in her eyes.

"You can't be serious!" Looking at his set face she got her answer. "Duo! This war means more to me than you might understand.I WILL fight with or WITHOUT your agreement am I making myself clear?Besides, K won't allow my absence in this."

Duo sighed."Hilde..."

"What is it Duo!?Do you think I'm weak?Do you think I won't be able to control a gundam? Well I'll have you know that I'm as good and as strong as you in my gundam.I've changed Duo,I'm not the same Hilde anymore, I'm my old self again and you won't be able to keep me off the battlefeild."

With that she hopped down Diablos' shoulder and used a cable to reach the ground.In less than a minute she was out of there.

"I just don't want you to get hurt, you're my world Hilde." Said Duo to an already gone Hilde.It was true, he didn't know what he would become if she was gone.He remembered the incident with Libra, he was totaly lost until she recovered.Plus he had a really bad feeling about this war.He felt like shinigami

(not him,the other one. Ya know...the big guy up there...) was near and had his eyes on one of them.

His musing were interrompted by a laugh.

"Man, you really blew it off! This was better than an episode of 'General Hospital'." Duo glared at the mass of gundanium while Diablos was laughing his ass off. (imagine that ô.ô big laugh for big ass)

"Seriously, how dare you think Hilde is weak.She and I could wipe your ass any day!"

Duo wasn't in the mood to argue with his new found 'friend' so he head off to his quarters to rest.

Tomorrow was going to be a long day of training.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~



He looked at his reflexion in the mirror before going to bed.A big scar marred his shirtless back.The scar, it reminded him so much....his father,dead.All because of that monstrous girl.His father's plan for world domination ruined.All because of one girl.He chuckled.But she wasn't a simple girl,no..he knew her secret.He knew what she was...... Anger blazed in his eyes; she had ruined his perfection,

(he wouldn't even look at himself while swamping underwear) her and that stupid boy.Of course the boy was in his grave now but the monster was still alive.But not for long, oh yes, with his master plan SHE was going down.

Indeed....

People on the street could hear a maniacal laugh that would freeze the blood of the most couragious man.

The sound of a broken mirror soon followed.....

Hilde Schebeiker was going down.

Author's note: Well how was it? ^_^ I think I'm getting the hang of it. Although my friend is right: I AM letting my hands to the typing and my brain review.

TRADUCTION: I have no idea what I am writting and I read my story up to 10- 15 times to make sure it follows. And I am STILL not sure it makes sense and is coherent.

Disclamers: I don't own them.Please don't sue me, I am dollars away from buying myself an X-BOX!!! or a PS2

Things are so expensive in Canada (or is it only in Quebec? french to the people...)

--the same price for both of them-- Well I guess I am kinda rich but I keep spending my money on videogames console.

(I got a big collection! I need an Atari though) ^_^!
