Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing. Here's another chapter of my fic. Hope you enjoy.
Soldiers had flooded the mobile suit hanger, and many of them were panicking; yet Selene remained composed. One of her better points, yet she knew she still had plenty of other flaws. Then again, she herself was a gundam pilot, which would partly, ok mostly be why she did not fear to go into battle. She climbed into the nearest Leo so consumed in her thoughts that she forgot to tie a white band on it to distinguish herself from the enemy Leos. Dr. J had always warned that her forgetfulness would someday cause her trouble. The Leos left the hanger and headed towards the south side of the base- the focal point of the enemy attack. The gundam before them had a dragon on the hand and was red, white, blue, and yellow. "Darn! What was the name of this one again?" she thought, she didn't understand what was wrong with her, why had all her senses become so obtuse all of a sudden? "Ah, yes, Shenlong," she wiped the sweat from her forehead as she also remembered that she had forgotten about the white band. And for the first time in her life, she saw exactly why the OZ soldiers feared the gundams so. The gundam was massive compared the miniature Leos, and its aim was perfect and deadly. She watched as Shenlong easily cut through several Leos.
"Everyone be cautious!" she heard Zechs announce over the communication system. Selene shuddered, how could you *not* be cautious in such a situation. Shenlong targeted her Leo next attacking her with his fire dragon. Selene dodged, yet the hand of her Leo was obliterated, this battle was not going as well as planned. The worst part was that she did not have the heart to attack back, for she truly was on the gundam's side. Fifteen more minutes into the battle and there were only a hand full of Leos left, the rest had been decimated, their charred remains laying on the ground below.
"ZECHS! Give the orders to retreat!" Selene shouted into the communicator contacting Zechs.
"No," he answered firmly, "We will not retreat!"
"Zechs," Selene took a softer tone, "you will have sealed our tombs if you do not allow us to retreat."
"We'll fight till the end, we aren't spineless fools!" Zechs replied, "but if you wish you may retreat." Selene shuddered, if she left she'd never hear the end of it, and she wasn't a spineless fool either but she knew that staying could only lead to their death. Five more minutes passed and their number had been decreased to four Leos. Shenlong had still not tired; it was striking down the Leos like flies. He went after Zechs from the back, ready to attack.
"Zechs! Watch out!" she found herself shouting, "I'm telling you if we stay here any longer you will lose more men!"
Zechs quickly dodged the attack, "Alright, everyone out of here!" Selene smiled with contentment; finally someone would listen to her. As the Leos headed out, another one was destroyed, leaving only three of the OZ soldiers surviving from the attack.
"I feel so empty fighting a weak enemy," Wufei declared as he watched the Leos retreat. A transmission came in from the Gundam headquarters, and Duo popped up onto the screen.
"Hey Wu boy!" he waved ecstatically, "I hope you were careful for that new girl gundam pilot."
"Huh?" Wufei asked rather confused.
Duo grinned, "Oh! So you don't even know yet? Good! I'll be the first one to tell ya! We have a new member on the team, and it's a girl."
Wufei became pale, "You're telling me we're supposed to fight OZ with a weak onna on our team?!"
Duo's grin faded a bit, "Well, I've met her and she isn't that bad."
Wufei wasn't about to let up on his view, "If she dies or messes us up at any point in this war, just remember I warned you before hand."
"Ok, Wu-boy, whatever you say," Duo answered and ended the transmission. He turned around to see what Heero was up to at the computer.
"Are you playing computer games on the job?" he joked, though Heero did not laugh.
"No, that girl sent us some interesting information about OZ," Heero replied still staring into the computer.
"She has a name, you know," Duo piped up.
Heero turned around and got up from the computer with a disk in hand, "Names are irrelevant in this war, what's important right now is that she gets the job done flawlessly, but since she's human like most everyone else I have doubts about her ability to do so." Heero left the room and went off to do something.
"You know, Selene, I'm beginning to wonder whether it's better for you to join us in the end or stay with OZ because it seems both sides really don't seem to accept you favorably," Duo muttered.
The mobile suit hanger was rather empty with only 3 of its original 50 Leos returning. Selene quickly jumped out from her Leo and headed towards her room trying to avoid the lecture she knew she would get from Zechs. She stopped by at the kitchen on her way and grabbed some coffee; it was rather funny, as a child she used to abhor the coffee but Doctor J warned her that as she went on more nights without sleep she would eventually give in and drink it. How right he had been. As she caught sight of her room, to her demise she noticed Zechs was already there waiting with a stern look on his face. "He'll probably never forgive me for being one of the survivors," she thought. She walked to her door ignoring his presence.
"Listen Lieutenant," he began.
"Oh great, another lecture, how many more of these do I need?" Selene mumbled extremely annoyed.
"I just wanted to say that my judgment out there had been a bit foggy," he continued.
She turned around to face him thinking, "What's this? Are you going to admit I was right? Ohhh, too bad I don't have camcorder to record this historical event."
"And I wanted to thank…" he didn't get any farther than that because a soldier bumped into Selene from the back causing her to spill her hot coffee all over the shocked colonel. Zechs didn't bother to finish his sentence; he just left. Selene went into her room trying to contain her giggles; somehow she knew she could live without the coffee because it had been used for a higher purpose.
Ok, that's it for now. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE R and R! It means sso much to me, thanks!
