Chapter 4 - Mission Accepted
Heero opened his eyes seing someone else in the room. He tried pulling himself up, this time succeeding. As his vision cleared he saw the priest sitting next to him. His eyes widened in shock. He seemed to be getting so many visitors these days!
"Heero, please try and relax. I was getting worried. You haven't woken up for at least 3 more days since Ms Kenzy saw you last," said the priest.
"Why can't they let me die?" asked Heero angrily staring at the gun next to his bed.
His arms twitched to get the gun and shoot himself but he couldn't do that in front of the priest. The priest wouldn't let him anyway.
"Heero. You know your heart is healthy already. It is really surprising how you heal so quickly. And, your respiratory isn't failing anymore so you will be able to breathe for yourself in two days but, really, I think you are perfectly fine right now," said the priest surprising Heero.
"What brings you here," Heero hesitated before speaking again. "Father"
The priest raised an eyebrow but pretended he didn't hear Heero whisper father.
"Heero," the priest began. "What is it that makes you want to die so much?"
"Well, I've got nothing to live for," answered Heero plainly.
"But tell me, what is it that you believe is worth wishing for?"
"Father, my life exists of missions. I don't have one now. There is peace and there is no more need for missions."
"If I told you I had a mission for you? Would you extend your will for life for at least a week?"
"Yes, why?"
"Heero. I have a mission for you. Ms Kenzy, otherwise known as Nun Kenzy, has been kidnapped."
"What?"
"She was kidnapped the day you woke up for the first time. Heero you may find this surprising but I am not like the others. I don't pity you and I ask you to go on a mission right now, to find her and bring her back safely."
Heero thought about what Father had said. It sure did give him a reason to live and he'd rather die knowing that Ms Kenzy was alive.
"Mission accepted," said Heero in a monotone voice.
The priests face broke into a smile and he opened the door for Heero. Heero grabbed the strange things plugged into him and ripped them off cutting himself in some places. He suddenly felt a lack of air and gasped in quickly. The air returned and he realised that he could breathe by himself now. He rushed to the door pulling on his jeans. He through his hospital robe off leaving him topless.
"Heero, you nearly forgot this!" said the priest throwing Heero his gun.
"Wait Heero. Take this, please. I will be waiting for you at the church," said the priest throwing a golden chain to Heero. A little golden cross hung on the chain. Heero nodded putting it around his neck. Suddenly he felt his life slowly creeping back to him. He rushed down the hall ignoring the screams he got.
The priest watched as the boy raced down the hallways full of energy. Sister Kenzy had a plan which went something like this, but it was supposed to be a fake mission. He suddenly began to panic realising that this was not a fake mission and that his wife was really in trouble now!
"God, protect him," whispered the priest creeping out of the room and walking down the hallway pretending to look like a normal visitor.
Heero raced across the fields wondering where he could find Ms Kenzy. Suddenly he stopped realising he wasn't going to get anywhere. He didn't even know where to start. His mind started filling with strategies and skills which he hadn't thought about for a while.
First he had to figure out where exactly Ms Kenzy had been kidnapped. If she had been kidnapped after visiting him then she would have to be somewhere around here.
"What a bother. I have no clues. I guess I will have to walk around for a while!
Ms Kenzy stared outside the window ignoring the man who had kidnapped her. He was asking her something but she didn't want to pay any attention.
"Ms Kenzy, you do understand, that once I kill Heero I will conquer all earth with no one in my way," exclaimed the man.
Ms Kenzy turned and looked at the determined man. She didn't know what led him to this path but a smile suddenly broke across her face. This man barely knew who Heero Yuy was! A little gigle escaped her lips and suddenly Ms Kenzy was laughing like a little girl again. The man stared angrily at her. His victim was going mad!
"What is so funny?" asked the man.
"You! You may be strong but you could never beat Heero! In this week he has been crushed by metal, suffered fractures everywhere, got shot really close to the heart and nearly died. You think you could beat him with a little beating. Ha!" screamed Ms Kenzy suddenly looking very serious as she saw a farmiliar figure walk past the hazy window.
"Heero!" though Ms Kenzy. "What is he doing out of the hospital? No! This wasn't supposed to happen. He could die!"
Heero walked past a hazy window. It looked very suspicious. He had been walking for almost 3 hours now with no luck. He had even knocked on people's doors but though otherwise. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"No Heero! Run away!" Heero heard Ms Kenzy's scream.
He rushed away from the door and towards the hazy window.
"So, didn't you say he was sooo strong? Why are you telling him to run away then?" asked the man snarling as he opened the door only to see no one there.
Ms Kenzy sighed of relief. Suddenly the hazy window smashed open and Heero fell through landing roughly on his feet. The man rushed back shooting Heero in the leg without even hesitating. Heero rolled behind a couch.
"Heero Yuy. It is a pleasure to meet you, though I fear you will not be alive for much longer. The name's Charles and after I kill you I will kill Relena and conquer Earth."
Heero grabbed his chest from the pain. His heart was not in such a good condition as he thought. He looked at the bullet stuck in his leg. Blood was gushing all around it. Charles had a strange strategy to attack straight away. He had to figure out how to fight him back. Heero stood up quickly dodging the next bullet which was shot at him. He felt the bullet woosh past his hair and hit the table behind him, causing it to turn over.
A bullet hit Heero hand. Heero fell to his knees in pain dropping his gun. The gun slided towards Ms Kenzy.
"Goodbye Heero Yuy," said Charles aiming the gun at Heero.
Heero suddenly got on his arms and twirled around flipping Charles over. Heero rushed back again, standing on his feet now. Charles pushed himself back up and aimed the gun at Heero shooting him in the arm again. Heero glared at Charles not showing any pain on his face. Charles shot again, his aim worsening as Heero walked closer. Charles's hands were shaking as he aimed for Heero's heart. He pushed the trigger and Heero ducked. Ms Kenzy kicked the gun next to her and it slid to Heero. He grabbed it and shot Charles in the chest. Charles staggered back and dropped his gun. Sweat was pouring down his face as he collided with the floor.
Heero dropped back to the floor breathing heavily as he stared down at the dead man.
"Heero! You shouldn't have come! He was a phsychomaniac and I could have gotten out myself," screamed Ms Kenzy pulling at the ropes which found her to the chair.
Heero grabbed the ropes and pulled without even bothering to untie them. He ripped the ropes and Ms Kenzy jumped out of her chair glad that she was free again. Her attention went back to Heero who was losing blood quickly.
"Looks like its back to the hospital for you," said Ms Kenzy suddenly rushing to a phone and dialling 000.
Lucy and her brother switched on the TV to channel 7. The news was on again.
"Our Hero has done it again. Heero Yuy who had been in hospital today after being shot in the heart had escaped and saved Ms Kenzy, a teacher, who had been kidnapped three days before. Unfortunately for Heero he had been shot at 6 times and needed medical attention straight away. Now to Sport."
Lucy flicked off the television.
"Well Lucy. Let me tell you one thing. He may be the biggest hero we have ever known, but he sure is mad. If only he didn't want to kill himself can you imagine what he would be like?" asked Mike walking out of the living room in astonishment. Lucy shook her head. Heero was not mad. He was the coolest guy in the whole of the earth!
Relena stared out the window dazed in her thoughts. Just two more days and everything would be over. She wouldn't have to live with the agony and misery anymore.
Heero opened his eyes seing someone else in the room. He tried pulling himself up, this time succeeding. As his vision cleared he saw the priest sitting next to him. His eyes widened in shock. He seemed to be getting so many visitors these days!
