F.A.D.E

Chapter Two

By Angel Wing

---------------------

*Beep, beep, beep* The alarm clock rang loudly throughout the building that housed the sleeping quarters of the two girls. It was 6:30 am and time for them to wake up. They never quite got used to the annoying beep that resounded.

"Morning already?" Breken asked Bella as they both exited their rooms and made their way to the doors directly across from their rooms.

"Obviously..." Bella dragged on. Her voice was a bit scratchy and she had a droopy look. You never did get much sleep around here. It didn't matter if you came in at 6 that morning; the clock was still going to go off at the set time.

Heero made it to the site in which he kept his gundam. But, when he got there, he noticed something wasn't right. His gundam was gone. He looked around furiously for any clues what so ever but could see none there. Whoever did this was either very good, or extremely stupid.

"Omae o korsou." He uttered silently towards whoever had done this unforgivable deed.

It had to be OZ he deducted. There was no other organization or person who would have a use for a gundam. That was it. OZ wanted to get their hands on a gundam to try and pinpoint a weakness and give it to someone to pilot. They would use their own weapon against them. This was quite difficult for the emotionless boy to swallow. His piercing cobalt eyes were even more furious. You never take a gundam without asking.

Heero was aware of Trowa Barton's location and decide to see if he happened to have a tracking device on Hevayarms to try and find Wing ZERO. As soon as he did find it, he was going to destroy the perpetrators.

'Who could even pilot my gundam anyway? How did they find it? They had to be out there searching for something in the first place.'  Heero thought to himself as he contacted Trowa.

The one-eyed boy's image appeared on the screen in front of Heero. They looked at each other a moment before Trowa spoke, "Yes, what is it?"

"Someone took my gundam. Do you have a tracker equipped to Heavyarms?" Heero asked getting right to the point.

"I think I should. If not I have radar, and it should be able to pick it up if it is anywhere within a 10 mile radius." Trowa answered, not knowing about the tracker, because Heavyarms had recently been rebuilt and he had never had to use it.

Heero nodded then the screen went blank. He shut off his laptop computer then proceeded to go and meet Trowa at the circus.

"Bella, Breken, it seems that you brought home more than that of what you left with." Said Gene, the leader of the F.A.D.E organization.

"What do you mean?" Asked Breken, playing her innocent act, yet once again for him.

"You know perfectly well what I mean. There is a cloaking device that was reported missing, and only two people who were out last night have the access code to the building, and those two are you. You are only lucky that I didn't bring about the mishap that happened in the Chemistry Laboratory, once again. Will you two ever learn?" He said in a harsh, stern tone as he glared at the girls.

"But-we-I…" Bella began, but was cut off by Gene speaking once again.

"So what is it this time? Just come clean."

"We don't know." Breken said looking towards the ground. She had her hands behind her back and was continuously wringing them as she slightly swayed back and forth.

"What do you mean you don't know?" Gene asked raising his tone slightly. He had gotten mad at the girls, but he had to understand that as mature as they should be, they were still teenagers, and he refused to ever shout at them.

"Exactly what she said, we don't know. It's some kind of robot thing." Bella said as she pointed in the direction of where they had set it, "Go see for your self."

Breken took out the cloaking device from her pocket then pressed the small black button on the silver control. Within seconds, the peaceful green lawn that was there undisturbed had the metallic robot make itself known once again.

The base had seemed out of place with it just standing there, towering in the early morning light. The light glinted and made the robotic beast shine. The stream and perfectly green grass were far too tranquil and story-like for the object of death and destruction resting upon it.

"Oh, my word. What is that…?" Gene asked his eyes following the menacing thing upwards from its heel.

Trowa noticed Heero's arrival to the circus and immediately went to meet him. The two walked around the back of the big top tent and to a truck w/ rather large cargo on the back. Trowa checked to make sure that no one was around and began to pull the coverings off of Heavyarms. After some work, the gundam was revealed. The two boys climbed atop it and opened the hatch. Trowa sat down in the cockpit and turned some of the systems on, searching for any type of tracking device. 

"I think I found something on my radar." Trowa told Heero, who seemed a bit annoyed at the moment.

"Hn. Where is it?" Heero asked not showing any emotion what so ever cross his eyes.

"Approximately 30 miles southeast from here. We can take the truck." Trowa stated bluntly.

"Fine."

The two boys climbed into the truck, which Trowa used to tow Heavyarms, and they were on their way to find Wing ZERO.
